Chapter 291

Chapter 52. Be patient, brother (1)

There are days when you prepare for death at least once in your life.

If someone were to say something like this to Calian, you would be able to see her pretty big eyes blinking blankly. When I lived in Bern, almost every day was like that, and even on the last day, I was prepared to die, so I couldn’t say in a solemn way that such a day ‘happens once in a while’.

The life of Old Calian was the same. For Old Calian, the days of secretly going in and out of the royal library and learning magic alone, keeping it a secret even from Jan, were like crossing a single-rope bridge across a windy valley.

So, wouldn’t the way Kalyan lives his life today be any different?

So Calian prepared to die without much hesitation.

If I don’t intend to die, how can I make up my mind to take someone’s life and survive? Therefore, I prepared myself as naturally as breathing, blinking my eyes, or moving the saliva in my mouth. And said.

Please wait. I’ll save you.

– no.

But I don’t like it.

Surprisingly enough, Calian understood very well that this was not an answer to being told to wait.

“... I’m not the kind of person who would die trying to protect my brother. I won’t die.”

“know.”

Is an assertion without certainty true or false?

Plantz immediately responded to his younger brother’s words, which were difficult to determine whether they were true or not.

Calian smiled slightly, thinking that since it was Plantz’s answer that was smarter than anyone else, it was probably true that he would not die. I was wondering where you learned the strange talent of turning contradictory words uttered by a person who was prepared to die out of habit into truth.

After that, the conversation between the two brothers went back and forth quickly in a short period of time, enough for five very nervous prosecutors to approach one by one.

“Brother, so far, you’ve only hurt someone once. I told you to call them by their proper name, but instead of eating, you suddenly threw a knife.”

“...... know.”

“I was injured that time. I still have the scars and I won’t forget them until I die.”

“know.”

In the midst of all this, even with that body, the mouth moves really well.

Perhaps it was because he had no intention of running away, or perhaps because he had noticed Calian’s physical condition, Calian’s voice became a little more subdued as he looked at the knights who had a very tense face but instead of moving away, they slowly approached.

“It will be very different from then. You will never forget that it is different until the day you die.”

“know.”

Thanks to my mind that was starting to fade, I realized, ‘Even Raven speaks in two different ways. Kalian almost barked for a moment, saying, ‘Purp, purr, purr.’ Then he took a deep breath. And then he opened his mouth once again towards his older brother, who would not know until his death that he was treated as having less language skills than Raven.

“yes.”

Actually, it’s not very comfortable to move my body right now. It looks like he will catch the five guys in front and then stop to catch the two warriors in the back. So, I just said that if you hold on to the five prosecutors, I will take the two warriors behind you. Arsene will come, so just hang out with him for a moment.

Don’t die.

A short remark.

I finished a short speech with many words. Even smart Plants will understand what is meant in those short words.

Calian kicked the floor once with the tip of his toe.

After waking up my sinking body, I kicked the floor once again. Harder and stronger than before.

– Taaat!

A black shadow hides in the thick darkness.

The smell of blood, which seemed to have the same glow as the afterimage of a sword emitting red light, lingered for a moment and then disappeared.

Plantz closed and opened his eyes a little slowly.

I recognized that the five prosecutors in front of me were the ‘real enemies’. I now fully realize that this situation is not a fake battle like I was fighting against my brother or the Vulcan members.

Strength goes into the hands holding the two swords of different colors.

Two swords containing the same star but emitting a completely different light began to draw their first trajectories.

– Kaaaaang!

The sound of distant predators sinking their claws into each other erupted like a roar.

The second fight began.

* * *

Kalian never once forced anything.

There was no coercion or coercion. It was okay to turn back if it was difficult, so I instructed them to proceed without overdoing it as much as possible.

This is a story about the construction of Kairis’ moving magic circle.

Rachel built a magic circle where Lemain gave permission. After construction was completed, we moved to another location and repeated the same work. As a result, I ended up moving around the vast land of Kairis to carry out my work.

Strangely enough, Euria was experiencing the unexpected results that arose from this situation. This is already the second time.

“They said it was the fastest, but it’s really fast. I heard it from a kid once, but I didn’t know it was this fast.”

“Prince, it’s much faster than when I was Rosellita. I was going around here and there because of the magic circle, so even though I like to wander around, time was a waste of time. That’s how it ended up like this.”

Rachel is extremely skilled in the movement speed assistance magic she can use.

Calian had never once asked for quick work, but given Rachel’s personality of not being able to do things leisurely, this was a result of trying to reduce the time spent on transportation.

“Thanks to you, I think we arrived on time. Seeing them all gathered together like that, I think they’ll do something.”

“I see. It looks like that.”

“But I don’t understand why the king here wants to destroy the elven forest. What if he gets revenge?”

“Anyway, the elves who live here are not protected by the Mother Tree. The Mother Tree’s power has never touched Secretia in the first place. There is nothing to avoid in Secretia other than the loss of a forest, so if you need something bigger than a forest, do something like that. You might be able to see it.”

Plantz crossed his two swords to block the next attack, pulled out the lower sword of the two, and stabbed it towards the swordsman standing in front of him. I felt the other person’s flesh being torn, but it wasn’t deep. As soon as I realized that, I jumped back and widened the distance. And then he rushed back toward the guy standing at the very end.

– Kaga River!

I haven’t fully gotten used to the two swords yet. But just because you’re not used to it doesn’t mean you can’t handle it.

Since I have always been good with swords, I did not find it difficult to move the two swords in different ways. Calian did not explain that the reason was because he was very smart. If I tell you, it will only increase my thoughts.

– Kaang! Kaaaang!

Plantz, who caught a glimpse of the red light moving dizzyingly in the distance and a one-on-two fight ensuing, moved his feet again.

After dodging attacks coming from four directions, he swung his arm and struck them away. Because he was using a sword that was heavier than Sinastar, he could not retrieve it, so he stabbed both swords together through the momentary gap.

The sensation I once experienced remained at my fingertips, and the light disappeared from the guy’s eyes. Plantz, who did not feel the need to check it for long, drew his sword again. Red drops form and fall on the black letters.

I immediately turned back and looked for my next opponent.

– Kang! Kaga River!

I blocked the extending sword, deflected it, stabbed it, and cut it repeatedly. Before I knew it, I could feel my arm burning as it had been cut by someone’s blade that passed by, but I tried not to let it bother me. Instead, I focused a little more and aimed for the opponent’s gap.

One by one, without being greedy.

Never miss a gap.

The remaining three exchanged glances among themselves and took a moment to bite each other. Plantz took advantage of that opportunity and looked towards Calian in the distance.

One to one.

It looks like they caught one before they knew it.

Anyway, I grabbed my two swords, thinking that he was an absolutely crazy person. however.

– Flash.

One of the two red lights in the distance was suddenly seen blinking.

Plantz knew very well what that meant. This means that even if you go to Briesen and declare that you will not raise a cat, Planz’s heart will not feel guilty.

“...... under.”

The three guys in front and one guy in the distance.

Which one should I take first?

The worries didn’t last long.

– Taaat!

Plantz turned his back on the three warriors. And ran. Just like that one day, only this time, not with my mother, but with my younger brother.

I heard the footsteps of prosecutors running behind me, and I saw the eyes of my younger brother, who was smiling with a face that would disappear at any moment, turned to Plantz.

“Calian.”

Bright red eyes widen.

“...... receive.”

The sound of footsteps behind me gets closer. do not care. He threw the sword in one hand at Calian.

And then turned back again.

The swords of the three swordsmen who came close fell at once. I raised the one remaining sword and blocked it. Two were blocked and one was missed. I twisted my waist to avoid it. I felt the burning pain again. ignored. I moved my arm and swung it. He threw away the two swords and grabbed them to block one.

I relaxed my grip on the sword.

I learned the method used by Calian. I caught the sword that plummeted to the floor with my left hand. The one who was putting his strength on Planz’s sword lost his support and stumbled. It pierced the guy’s heart.

– Kaaaaang! Kaga River! Kaang!

The sound of two wild beasts fighting was heard again from Planz’s side. There was an ear-piercing roar and it felt like the forest was shaking. He didn’t care either and held the sword in his right hand again.

Planz’s sword, which was piercing the solar plexus of one of the two, was blocked. The opponent held Plantz’s sword with a gloved hand, not a sword. It was a thin and light sword that was divided into two halves, so it was easy to hold. The guy swung the sword in his remaining hand.

I tried to stop it by pulling out the captured Sinasta, but it wasn’t easy.

If there had been another sword, he would have easily swatted it away, but it was now in Calian’s hand. I put down my sword again and tried to dodge, but another sword flew at me. Even at this moment, the smart mind made a split-second decision.

There is no way to avoid it.

– Shhh!

I wondered if dying in a place like this would ultimately bring war to this land again. Funny.

– Suddenly!

At that time, the prosecutor’s grip was cut off.

A scream rang in my ears, and someone’s hand grabbed Plantz’s shoulder and pulled him back.

“no.”

I heard an answer to my silent self-talk.

Before I knew it, my younger brother came running and was standing in front of me again.

In Calian’s hands, who now had three swords in front of him, the blue-silver swords once again contained an uneasy flickering aura.

Calian made another uncertain statement and moved his arm.

Two swords for swordsmen and one sword for warriors. It flies in. Calian extends his sword. The smell of blood was strong and a red light flickered. Four swords rushed towards each other.

It made a sound like metal scraping against something.

– Let’s go!

It wasn’t the sharp noise made by the blades intertwining with each other. The four swords were not intertwined with each other. No one died.

Four swords were visible, blocked by a thick wall of ice.

“...It’s late.”

A blue-haired crazy wizard has arrived.
