Chapter 158

Chapter 27. If it were now (2)

Those who attacked Calian were warriors of the great desert.

Those who came to Euria now are just people.

It doesn’t matter whether you are Kairis or Secretia, or a Tensil or Riverne person. Unless they were warriors of the Great Desert, each individual’s strength would be similar, so that was enough.

“Just get five, kid.”

“All right.”

“Don’t stick around and fight. You too will die.”

“...... yes.”

As Euria added that, the hem of her robe fluttered. It wasn’t even windy, but before I knew it, it was shaking violently from the concentrated magic power.

Arsene stood a little away from Euria.

Soon Arsene’s fingertips moved slightly, and almost at the same time, an ice spear fell on the head of a knight who was approaching Arsene. Rather than calling it an attack, it was meant to gauge the level of defense the shields they were wearing had.

– Kagagak!

An unpleasant sound, like metal scraping against something hard, was heard and the tip of the ice spear was ground apart. The shield seemed to flutter for a moment, but then quickly recovered.

-Ssam!

A huge spear of wind flew towards Arsene, who was assessing the extent of their power. It was not fired by the knight standing in front, but by Naburangi, a magician hidden in the distance.

After all, it’s the wind.

There is only one person in this world who is suited to wind magic.

Arsene chuckled at a sudden thought and swung his hand, and a wall of ice about two spans wide was created in an instant, blocking Arsene’s path.

– Quagang!

I was thinking that perhaps only Allen could make a window for the wind to penetrate this thick ice wall.

As if to mock Arsene, the Wind Spear dug halfway into the ice wall and then stopped. Perhaps it was because of the roar of ice and wind colliding, or because of the unexpectedly strong attack power, but the corners of Arsene’s eyes went up fiercely.

Arsene, who lifted the ice barrier, used his magic towards the wizard who sent the Wind Spear. The approaching knight was ignored for now.

-Ssam! Scum!

Both sharply forged ice spears flew towards the wizard. The front of the wizard’s shield glowed brightly as he saw the ice spear approaching at just the right speed to block. The power of the shield was pushed to one side.

At the same time, a slight smile appeared on Arsene’s lips. And

– cum!

An ice spear appeared behind the wizard and struck. Of course, this time it wasn’t at a speed that a mere wizard could move his body to avoid.

– Kwasik!

The wizard’s heart was pierced.

The sound of a body falling to the ground with a thud broke the silence for a moment.

At the same time, another ice spear was created, stopping the knight who was charging at Arsene just a moment ago.

– Kagak!

It’s the same this time too. The ice spear was blocked by the shield with an annoying sound. The knight who saw this laughed and raised his sword.

A wizard who doesn’t dodge even when a knight is right in front of him. Even though he is the vice commander of the Balkan army, he is too arrogant...

– Ujijik!

The article’s thoughts did not continue until the end.

This is because the ice spear embedded in the shield changed its shape in an instant along with the sound of something crunching.

Arsene’s ice, which changed its shape like melting ice placed on a brazier, surrounded the red shield tightly, drawing the appearance of a spider web spreading out.

By the time I realized something was wrong, the outside of the shield was already covered in blue ice.

“nice to meet.”

Even with the knight’s sword in front of him, the corner of the knight’s mouth that had gone up at the sound of the wizard’s calm voice slowly returned. He couldn’t figure out what exactly happened because of the hazy frost that obstructed his vision.

“I am Arsene Hertz, vice-captain of the Kyris Wizard Vulcan.”

Master said that when you meet someone, you should first say hello.

The Ice Wizard, who had frozen a shield created without any special medium, finished his self-introduction. However, since I had no intention of remembering him, I did not bother to give him time to respond.

Cold magical power gathered at the tips of Arsene’s fingers once again.

– Scum!

– Kwazijic!

A frozen shield is weaker than a mere piece of quartz.

The unprotected body of a knight is even weaker.

– Coo!

The body of the knight, who lost half of his head along with his shield when struck by the blade of ice, tilted for a moment. And soon it fell to the floor.

A stream of blue water was seen rushing through the ground behind the body of the fallen knight. It belonged to Euria, who did not sit idle while Arsene fought.

Before we knew it, Euria was standing a long way away from the knights.

– Easy profit!

The blue energy swaying beneath Euria’s feet shot out at the speed of light. It is fast and sharp, like a wingless dragon cutting through the ground.

The water that started from one stream split into six streams, like a river splitting. Then, they each spread out towards the six knights who were charging towards Euria.

I only closed my eyes once and the water reached the feet of the six men standing in front of me.

– Kukwaang!

The stream of water that reached its destination became six swirling water columns without a moment’s delay. It hit them like that.

The force of the water, spinning upside down and gushing out like a tornado made of water, not wind, was truly powerful. It was just water, but as if it contained a blade, it tore apart the red, hard shields of those who were barely standing trapped in the center of the water column.

– Pajijik! Pajik!

Almost at the same time, purple lightning fell from the sky where they were standing. Before reaching the ground, lightning was divided into exactly six pieces and struck down on the knights trapped in the water column.

Lightning literally fell from an otherwise normal sky and shook the earth.

– Kwaaaaang!

A roaring sound echoed through the forest, and the swirling water column surrounding them contained the power of lightning.

Anyway, both are familiar. About the death of the enemy.

“Oh, it’s too ripe.”

I told them to catch five people, and they caught three.

You eat it so hard. It’s so hard I can’t chew it.

Asking for help.

Although it wasn’t his intention, these words were deeply engraved in Lemain’s mind.

Didn’t Alan say that, ‘What Calian found in order to survive should have been his father, not a wizard he never knew’? So, what on earth could Lemain say to reject that hand that is now outstretched, and how can he shake it off?

In the end, Lemain had no choice but to nod. As Kalian wishes, I will give him a special gift for his upcoming birthday.

‘Please be careful.’

And added this:

So Calian said he would be careful and asked if it would be possible to take away the two door lockers who were following him around. So I got permission for that too.

When I finished meeting Lemain and went outside, the sun was setting.

“I can’t tell if it’s already setting, or if it’s just now setting.”

Calian sighed for a moment because he couldn’t figure it out. This is because the day was so short and long.

The lights in the Wilhelm Pavilion visible in the distance were turned off.

Except for a few Balkan soldiers who were supposed to guard Heisia Palace, everyone would have returned. Of course, no one can approach it, but the existence of the axis of time still had to be hidden.

Hina and Jan had already returned to Chermil.

So Kalian moved towards Wilhelm.

Since Kyrie would be at Chermil’s training ground, he wanted to take a look around his sword without disturbing her. And I also felt like I wanted to be alone for a little while.

I said so.

– Taaat!

What on earth is this sound coming from the unlit indoor training hall of the Wilhelm Pavilion?

– Boo!

Calian, who roughly guessed what the sound was as he heard the sound of heavy metal cutting through the wind, quietly opened the door to the training center and entered with a grin on his face.

In the training hall where the moonlight shines through the window frames, a sword embracing darkness dances alone. The sword did not reflect any of the bright moonlight, but Calian had no trouble following its movements.

The owner of the hand holding the sword did not seem to have discovered Calian, who was immersed in the darkness. Therefore, Calian stood quietly and began to watch what he was doing.

A sword when you know someone is watching is different from a sword when you don’t.

– Boom!

A sharp energy flows out along the curved tip of the sword. The shaking of the sharp blade that stabbed as if shooting had disappeared. The swinging and striking motions flow like water.

It has increased a lot.

The guy who stopped in place for a moment calmly catches his breath. Then he assumed a slightly different stance and moved his sword. A distinctly different speed and a distinctly different lightness hang from the tip of the sword.

– Hiss!

Briesen’s sword is, to put it in a good way, appropriate, and in a bad way, it is ambiguous.

It is moderately light and moderately heavy, but because of that, it is difficult to make a quick attack and causes less damage from hitting. Although it is possible to receive both Calian and Dmirea’s swords, it is difficult to deal a critical hit.

It would have been obvious.

So, he would have tried to make Calian’s sword with that sword. To attack a little faster. He must have learned something from Demirea as well.

Because it’s Planz.

Calian quietly opened his mouth as he saw Planz’s sword extending out as if its tip were split.

“My shoulder is ruined.”

Planz’s sword confirmed everything.

So, after unfolding everything he had, he blocked Calian’s attempt to use a light sword technique.

Plantz’s movements stopped quietly at the sudden sound of the voice. Plantz, who was staring at the entrance to the training ground with his sword hanging down, opened his mouth.

“...... what.”

There was no shame in being caught trying to do Kalyan’s. If he had been embarrassed to begin with, he wouldn’t have been able to calmly pet the cat in front of Calian.

It must have been an unpleasant feeling about being watched while hiding.

“It’s not a speed you can try right now. It’s okay for a few times, but you can’t use it for a long time.”

The words continued as if it didn’t matter whether it was unpleasant or not.

Plantz, who stood still for a moment, nodded. I don’t have any unnecessary shame, but I don’t have any unnecessary stubbornness either.

Soon, Planz put his sword away and walked out. It looked like he was going to return to Chermil, so Calian looked surprised. I thought I would try to learn useful skills because I threw away skills I couldn’t use, but I didn’t.

That’s why Calian opened his mouth first.

“Would you like to spar?”

“it’s okay.”

Rejection comes back immediately.

“It looks like you need to sleep right away.”

A horse that is still concerned about the condition of Calian, who came in after sparring with Alan the day before.

To Bern and to old Kalyan.

Calian, who spent the day in many ways from the past, spoke to Plantz.

“Then let’s eat, brother.”

“bothered.”

I’ll just leave it like that and go eat grass again. Boiled peas.

“Then you’re not tall.”

“Stop barking.”

Calian grinned.

Because he barked once a day today too.
