Chapter 460

Episode 460

“That was too much...”

Hellison muttered with a stiff face.

He muttered as he watched him being carried away on a stretcher.

“Sage.”

“I’m sorry for you.”

“That was enough. If it wasn’t for Winry, I wouldn’t have bothered to step forward.”

“Tsk tsk... being stupid...”

Confidence is an important virtue for a wizard.

but.

Arrogance beyond that was never right.

“It’s a clean, quiet process. Even if you can understand yourself.”

Realizing that he had been completely victimized by the simple 4-circle fantasy magic, he lost the root of the arrogance he had built up in support of his talent.

“I probably won’t be able to use magic anymore.”

“There have been cases like that before. He met a wizard superior to him and couldn’t abandon his arrogance... As a result, he was driven to the brink of breaking the mana ring.”

“Is this the story of the wise man?”

He smiled bitterly at my question.

“It’s unfortunate. Being put at a crossroads in life For a wizard, breaking the mana ring means death.”

With that, he followed Merlin and approached the old man who collapsed.

“Look. Friend...”

“Ah... great sage.”

The old man looked at Hellison with a helpless expression.

“It’s all my fault... It’s my fault for not raising that poor child properly...”

He muttered in vain and looked at me.

“I’m sorry, Prince Davey. His greed has caused you trouble.”

Merlin deliberately tried to kill Winry in order to drag the Great Sage into the arena.

If this is known, his life as a wizard will of course come to an end, and he will have no choice but to suffer worse things than that.

But there I stepped out and finished it to the point of shaking his mana ring.

“If he sincerely accepts reality and repents of his problems, maybe it can happen again.”

“I guess so. If so, you might be able to overcome the same wall as me.”

“I am a lowly 3rd circle mage. That’s why I don’t know how high and solid the wall in the circle above is.”

He spoke calmly, muttering in vain.

“If I knew it would be like this, I should have taught him more strictly...”

His face was full of regret for not being able to teach properly ahead of time, feeling sorry for being in the 3rd circle because he was a circle similar to his pupil.

“The old man is the teacher of that boy named Merlin.”

“I am ashamed.”

“It’s not just magic skills that master and pupil share. He may have been talented, but...”

You are the senior in life.

He looked at me as if surprised by my words.

“Because parents are afraid of what will happen if they don’t lead their children properly.”

“Ah... ah...”

“Cheer me up. I’m sorry I left my situation until this happened... I’m sorry...”

The old man sat down and sobbed sadly at the bitter muttering of the great sage.

Even though they are not blood related, he is a teacher who loves his student so much....

Seeing the humble old man shedding tears for him, I felt affection that did not expect anything in return.

It’s a strange feeling. The family’s priceless love.

Haven’t I already received it twice?

They both left before they could reciprocate, and they let go.

I silently watched the scene, then quietly left the place.

* * *

The contest was temporarily suspended.

Merlin was disqualified for trying to kill his opponent and for not being able to use magic, and Winry won and moved up next.

The atmosphere, which had been considerably subdued due to Merlin’s work, regained its atmosphere in the splendid and passionate appearance of the tournament.

On the other hand, however, there were voices of concern.

It was too cumbersome.

I subtly intervened to help my younger brother, Winry, win.

No one said it openly, but it was also an opportunity for those who tried to keep me in check.

Of course, the problem did not become a big problem because I had a stronger position that I prevented things from escalating because of Nasum.

Of course, Winry didn’t just accept the result.

Now that Merlin is gone, Winry is no different from the best contender.

As much as Josiah Francos, who was in the 4th circle in Shakuntala, could hear the sound of a genius, the 4th circle was like a huge wall among teenagers.

However, Winry immediately threw a vote of abstention as if he did not want to continue the match.

In the end, only those who remained remained and moved forward to win.

“Merlin, traitor to humanity. It was quite famous. Because he was the one who killed the great sage.”

Unusually, he showed an obsession with Hellison Balestia.

Just because it’s a simple 7th circle? That being said, there were a lot of problems.

The reason was explained by Reina.

The illegitimate son of the great sage.

Merlin was born not just a few decades ago, but during his youth when the great sage was active.

The capital of the kingdom of Briuk was literally in chaos, and

“8th Circle Masteleport.”

Realizing what it was, I turned around.

No one who uses 8th circle magic currently exists on this continent except for me.

Two if possible.

Either the princess of the abyss who uses magic-like powers, or another being gifted with magic.

Whatever it was, it was absurd to leave it like this.

“sorry! I’ll stop them!”

Reina hurriedly opened the window and whistled hard with her fingers.

Beep beep!!!

At the same time, familiar energy began to gather in the sky, and the figure of a being was revealed.

Jujak Fire Chicken.

It was a guy who lived mainly in the ‘prefecture’ country exam forest and traveled around the continent with Reina.

-Kiyiyiik!!!

People screamed at the appearance of Suzaku Buldak, which appeared with a tremendous presence.

“A warrior!! The warrior of light and the phoenix!!”

“We live!!”

Sudden raids are taking place all over the capital at the same time.

It was a mess because of that, but a ray of hope seemed to be reflected in the appearance of a huge being flying into the sky.

Starting with Reina, who pulled out her sword and started flying quickly to deal with the monsters pouring out of the pillars, those gathered here began to step out one by one.

Quite skilled wizards gather and use magic in combination.

Among them, Reina and Illina, who wielded the new sword Caldiras, were naturally unique.

Maybe it’s because we’re the same person, but we get along very well with each other.

However, apart from Reina’s knowledge of Illina, Illina only recognized Reina’s existence as a little unusual being by my side.

“Prince Davey!”

I immediately got out of the building and headed towards the palace, where I saw three people who found me and quickly fell from the sky.

They were the great sage Hellison Balestia, Julis, and Winry.

“How did this happen?”

Embarrassed, Julis shouted.

“No time to shout, Ulyss. Go and help one more person!”

“Yes Master! Let’s go, Winry!”

“yes! Mr. Julis!”

I looked at the two quickly disappearing and said to Hellison.

“Can you guess?”

“It can’t be an attack from another country. With everyone gathered like this, there won’t be anyone willing to attack.”

He stared at the pillar shooting up toward the sky with a stiff face.

Then he said it again.

“Prince Davey. To this old man, that pillar looks like circle 8 magic...”

“It’s a circle 8 mass teleport. If you leave it as it is, it will probably continue to pour.”

“Can you stop it?”

“It is not difficult. It’s just... I need a little help.”

The other side has already been preparing for a long time. So I had to be careful with this one too.

I jumped lightly and climbed onto the roof of a tall building, reaching out my hands toward the pillars of purple light piercing the sky.

“Masteleport is a failed spell. If you just dispel it, a whole space will be blown away in the aftermath.”

“I can’t...”

“So I’m going to defuse the bomb and erase it. In the meantime, I can’t pay attention to anything else. So, the wise man.”

Please go around and search for the culprit behind this.

At my words, he nodded and jumped quickly.

Although he is an elderly man, his magical skills have not yet rusted.

“Now... then.”

I stretch out one hand and twist it.

“I’ll help Davey. Just a dispel.”

“It would be nice if you would.”

Saying that, without hesitation, I shot mana towards the first pillar that was pouring out monsters.

BEAUTIFUL!!! Kwachang!!!

At the same time, one maneuver that was firmly spitting out monsters was broken.

One of the 8th circle magic was broken in vain.

The moment I was about to break the second pillar.

I suddenly had the idea that someone was watching me from afar.

It was a girl with long black hair that reached her calves, wearing a white dress from a distance.

She was holding a brown magic book in her arms.

“...”

I met her eyes and couldn’t take my eyes off the strangely familiar aura.

I feel like I’ve seen it a lot, but I can’t remember where.

Can’t you remember?

There’s no way I can’t remember

In other words, it is a first-time air flow.

But are you used to it?

She looked at me for a moment, turned her head, and then disappeared.

Familiar, but something different.
