Chapter 29. What I can handle (5)
Calian said nothing.
– In the large forest on the way to the believer, there was a wizard and a bird, and ‘they’, a mixture of those who denied it, went looking for the bird.
Those who believe are Tensil and those who deny are the wolves of the great desert.
Calian, who checked the mysterious contents written on the note with his mouth closed, handed the paper to Plantz instead of burning it. And then he jumped over the terrace and left.
Before long, the sound of the hooves of a galloping horse echoed throughout the palace. The black horse carrying the prince ran forward, avoiding the knights blocking its path with graceful movements.
Plantz, who was watching this from the terrace, quietly stood up. Then, like Kalian, he jumped out through the terrace and headed to Arpia Palace.
Calian returned the note, didn’t he?
I’m sure it means leaving the matter to me, so I’m going to Arpia Palace to tell them.
“...... under.”
My brother ran away.

Inside the cave.
Euria stopped in place and scattered her mana to examine the external situation, then opened her mouth.
“Chirps.”
The yellow robin, who unconsciously turned his head to the words he heard while being nervous due to the loud noise that echoed through the cave, made an angry face. Either way, Euria’s voice was carefree.
“My tail was stepped on.”
Someone was running towards this place.
Judging by the momentum with which they were rushing towards this cave, it certainly didn’t look like they were just passing by by chance and coming to say hello. Even though Euria sensed this unusual and unfamiliar energy, her expression did not change at all.
The yellow robin frowned and asked at Euria’s words.
“Your tail got stepped on? What do you mean?”
“Tail is tail. It means someone was chasing them. I don’t know if it’s our tail or your tail. It’s probably you.”
The yellow robin briefly asked Euria, who showed unfounded confidence that her tail had already been stepped on by the Sejaks, but this time, the tail of the Sejaks was stepped on.
“Do you not know who it is?”
“Oh, I don’t know. If I stand here and know that, would I be human?”
Soon, Euria clenched and opened both fists one at a time. Then, he turned his neck around to relax his muscles. Euria, who had created an atmosphere like that before the knights went into battle, spoke to the yellow robin.
“It doesn’t matter if you just run away. If you take the data out of the cave, the paper will be damaged. It will be damaged even if the cave collapses. So, please take care of yourselves and protect the data.”
The yellow robin made a grim face. Euria spoke again, this time with a not-so-concerned expression on her face.
“You look like a wolf cub from the great desert, so don’t just come out and die and cause trouble.”
The Sejaks also knew the power of those called Zeon, especially what kind of monster a strong warrior like the ‘Wolf of the Great Desert’ among them would become if he possessed that power.
In particular, there was no reason for Euria to protect them, and there was no reason for them to help Euria. So, while I was thinking for a moment about how to act, I heard a low voice.
[Sleep]
It was the voice of Euria, who had changed her mind and was going to leave it alone.
“I don’t think I can do it because I think I’ll ruin all the data if I try to steal it.”
Euria spoke leisurely as she looked at the three sleeping people who had fallen side by side, and then walked out of the cave to catch the wolf that had come very close.
The purple sparks that gathered at the tip of my finger began to make a crackling sound.
* * *
It was not visible.
The forest roared and Kalian blocked the attack.
There was a long, thin sword mark left on the floor from afar to where Calian was currently standing. Only after seeing it did Arsene figure out that Calian had come from the direction of the moving magic circle.
I also knew from the sword marks on the ground that he ran with his sword dangling as if scraping the floor and then raised the falling red Auror sword. I realized too late that such a loud roar was caused by the collision of Calian’s sword, which had been raised with all the force of his running, and Tamira’s sword, which had been slashed down with the force of her leap to Arsene, had collided squarely.
A very painful sound rang out, and the wizard fell unconscious. * *
*
The weightless sword was also quick to change direction.
Tamira’s sword was coming down from above . Calian, who raised his sword with force, brought his raised sword down straight away.
Tamira, surprised by the speed, jumped backwards and pulled away. Calian’s sword, which cut through the air, changed direction again and tenaciously attacked Tamira.
– Kaaaang!
It’s similar to the one poured out on the Balkan wizards, but it’s definitely different from the curse of unavoidable death that takes Tamira’s breath. Calian’s dark red
aura is completely different from Tamira’s red aura. That eerie light, like blood pouring from a broken heart, flashed along the sword’s path. The sword’s path was cutting through even the dense darkness that had fallen in the forest. The great desert where the sword had been slashed to take Arsene’s life just a moment
ago The wolf swung his sword to prevent his head from falling off due to a split-second mistake.
– Whoosh! Kang! Kakang!
The sound of the wind cracking continued, followed by the sound of swords clashing with each other and the sound of the sword hitting the shield.
Powerful shield . If it weren’t for it, the sword wouldn’t have gotten entangled twice. If the open wound hadn’t healed quickly, she would have already gone to sleep during the first fight with Calian. – Kagagak! Tamira, seeing the shield being cut without fail, unconsciously bit her lower
lip
. She bit it.
The red eyes that were facing Tamira disappeared in an instant. The long arc drawn by the same red lips remained like an afterimage in Tamira’s mind. It was strong. She heard the purr of a wild beast that had just bitten off the nape of its
prey
. The feeling of defeat is felt by a prey who just wants to put down the sword at any moment due to the fear coming from all directions as the sound of the sword roars, which is exactly like the satisfied sound of the predator.
strong.
From what I heard, it wasn’t to this extent. How on earth?
“I’m going to die. Then.”
As if it were an answer to the questioning gaze, a young voice came from behind Tamira, coming closer. As soon as the sound was heard, Tamira’s sword reacted.
– Boom!
Tamira, who held the handle tightly, spun around at lightning speed and cut down the surrounding area. Despite this, nothing touched the tip of the knife.
With a booming sound, the red aura light became darker. It felt like the surroundings became brighter for a moment, but there was nothing to see.
At that time,
‘Blam!’ A small sound of footsteps was heard, and a dark red sword fell from the sky.
– Kaang!
Tamira momentarily raised her sword and blocked Calian’s attack. Tamira’s eyes lit up when she felt that the force of the sword that had been struck as if flying was not that heavy.
A body without proper muscles and a light sword.
Tamira, realizing this, used all her arms to push away Calian’s sword. I thought about attacking the upper body that was exposed when swinging the sword that would fall backwards.
Soon, the weight felt by Tamira’s sword disappeared. So, he was about to swing his sword again and cut down the person in front of him.
– Shhh!
Calian, who should have lost his balance after being pushed away with the sword, instead rushed towards Tamira. There was nothing in that hand.
Calian, who got rid of the pushed sword without any hesitation, jumped towards Tamira.
– Ugh!
Before I knew it, the dark red sword had taken shape again and was heading towards Tamira’s neck.
“...... “I’m going to die.”
When a whispering voice rang in my ear.
The sword stretched out as if it was craving something of the same light, cutting through the flesh without hesitation and taking the life.
– Suddenly
, the warrior’s body, no longer breathing, fell to the floor.
