Episode 39
It's been a long time since I've heard the voice of the Demon King.
The time he wore the Demon King and the time he was asleep were almost equal, so it was actually quite a long time.
"Are you awake?"
Now that there was nothing he could do, it was good news that the Demon King had woken up.
Even if he loses his power and falls, he is a demon king.
Zaiza was at the pinnacle of magic, the ruler of a world. It was clear that he had enough ability to turn the current situation around at once.
-Kie?
However, the Demon King's answer did not come back.
It was as if it was a mistake that he had heard a voice, and all he could hear in his ears was the cry and loud noise of the ice spirit.
'Is it still less recovering...'
Thinking like that, it was time to use it as a test to shock the Demon King's soul.
-… Ugh, stop. When I asked him to become a hero, did he intend to pass just one trial and annihilate me?
"What is it? Why didn't you answer when you woke up?"
-Well, you were busy figuring out the situation. By the way, it's unexpected. I came here alone.
The Demon King muttered as if he knew everything before he could even hear my explanation, but I couldn't help but look strange when I heard that.
It was only natural for me to go forward to save my master, but it wasn't something that the Demon King would praise me.
-Looking for the second treasure. Where is.... Judging from the energy you feel, is it a branch of the World Tree? That warlock has it. That's it.... Do you know. This goes without saying.
For a moment, my head went blank. A branch of the World Tree.
One of the reasons I decided to come to Andril's estate in the first place was because of the information that one of the Demon King's treasures had flowed into this area, so I wasn't wrong. But why does the Master have it?
What does it have to do with the fact that the Master, who was known to have died in the war, was alive? The elf who invaded the dungeon last time...
-It's been quite a long time. Trying to subdue them by mobilizing the demon towers. It doesn't seem like I've been teaching in vain.
"Wait. He is my Master. It's not something to be punished, but to help."
-What?
Even while he was telling the Demon King the truth, the situation became urgent.
Even though the master was surrounded by many wizards, he was not pushed back at all, but rather was gradually overwhelming. However, they were not the only ones to deal with.
A group of people rushing towards the teacher. Even though he was wearing thick iron armor, his speed was so fast that it was difficult to follow him with his eyes. The knights of the Andriel estate began to move.
At the front was Count Andril, a face I had briefly seen from afar at the time of the launch ceremony. He was moving with a clear aura on his sword compared to the others he had seen before.
-Is it a Sword Master?
"Sword Master?"
-It can be said that it is the pinnacle of the article. It's too talented to be in such a small country.
Contrary to the words and actions of the Demon King that I had seen so far, the tension naturally rose in my voice mixed with admiration as if I recognized humans.
"Compared to the Holy Knight Commander I saw before..."
-That human will overwhelm you. There are many knights in the Holy Kingdom, but Sword Masters are difficult to find even if you search all over the continent.
After hearing that, I couldn't control myself.
No matter how great the master was, it was unlikely that he would be able to deal with multiple sorcerers and be safe from the Knights, including the Sword Master.
I ran at all my might and headed to the place where the wizards were.
They seemed to have a lot of combat experience, and they did not slow down to be vigilant around them even when dealing with their masters. But that alone couldn't stop me.
Deception magic hides not only appearance, but also spirit and magic.
It was not impossible for a mage better than me to break the deception. It was a fact that he knew from the experience of being beaten by a wizard he met at the Veliv estate.
But what I found out then was because I used magic in front of him. It was clear that no one would be able to find it without even knowing if it existed in the first place.
-Hmm...
For a moment, I felt that the demon king didn't like something, but my movements didn't stop.
"What is he? It doesn't reduce your magic power at all."
"Ugh, crazy! Did you stop this again? The casting speed is ridiculous."
"Did you have six more heads instead of arms?"
He stood in front of a person who looked like the leader of a group of wizards, wearing a red robe.
I swallowed my saliva.
It's on a different level from the stupid mage of the Veliv Territory. Just by the energy I felt, I could see how great this wizard was.
No matter how powerful a mage is, his throat will be pierced and he will not be able to survive. He took out a scythe from his arms and slammed it at the mage's neck. and.
-It was a robe with shield magic imprinted on it.
The robe that the wizard was pressing down glowed, and a translucent membrane appeared to stop the blow of conversion...
"Wow, wow...!"
The Auror, which was reproduced with magical power, broke the shield and pierced the opponent's throat.
At the same time, a wave of mana shimmering.
The deception magic was forcibly lifted and revealed. Although it was not intended by the wizards, the spell they had memorized was canceled and an effect similar to Dispel appeared.
"Assassin? Is it a wizard?"
"What, what...!"
"The arm on your back, Sebian?"
"No, Sebian is over there. Judging by his face, he must be that disciple."
The eyes of the wizards who quickly grasped the situation were focused.
Attacks that don't even feel the tension. The magic that was aimed at the teacher changed direction and turned towards me.
Originally, it was an intense fire magic that would not have been able to hold out even for a moment, but there was something that moved one step faster than that.
-Kie-e-eh!
It was an ice spirit that boasted tremendous defensive ability. The ice wall that gushed out along with the castle stopped the magic.
However, Bingling was not invincible. The colony, which has barely recovered in the past few weeks, is scattered. It's quite fast, if not crazy when dealing with the Holy Knights. I couldn't last long.
A desperate crisis.
Fortunately, they seem to be quite tired, and the power of magic is gradually weakening, and the magic that was aimed at their master has completely stopped.
I heard the screams of the knights from afar. The wizards also continued to flinch, as if they were less concerned about it.
I had to buy time somehow.
If there was such a commotion, Master would have noticed it too. I opened my mouth to wait for those guys to be exhausted or for the Master to sort out the situation and come to help.
"Do you have time to care about me? The drivers over there don't seem to be in good condition."
"It doesn't matter."
However, my attempt was immediately blocked by a confident and confident voice.
"Count Andriel is old, but he is the only sword master in the empire. Even if we don't have support, we are not weak enough to be defeated in an instant."
Seeing that no one around him spoke to the man who was fixing his glasses, he seemed to be the leader of these wizards.
"What's your name?"
"Jude."
"Ha, I guess we were mistaken."
“… Jude?"
At that moment, I heard a questioning voice from a little further away, but I couldn't pay attention.
'Weren't you tired?'
This was because the wizard in front of him exuded an aura that could not be ignored. He asked at the same time, smiling meaningfully.
"You are the hero of the Veliv Estate... Is that right?"
“….”
"I was completely in vain. Well, it doesn't matter. I've found it now."
The sorcerer nodded in satisfaction and asked for the consent of those around him. His attitude of not caring about the death of his colleague felt harsh, and his frown furrowed.
Then he finally smiled at me and asked for my consent.
"Wouldn't it be much better to capture that disciple than to deal with a high-ranking warlock? It seems that progress has continued."
His gaze was not on my face, but on the bony arm extending from his back a little later.
Only then did I realize. The reason why so many powerful wizards volunteered to subdue them that are hard to find.
Perhaps they were related to the wizards they faced in the Velib estate. For some reason, it seems that he mistook his master for me and tried to take revenge.
But the bigger reason is the master's magic. It was to take away the 'six arms'.
"And what is that stealth magic? Is that also the vision of Sevian?"
Ugh.
My teeth were split.
I have already heard and experienced enough about the disposition of wizards. If he was to captivate me, he would definitely torture me repeatedly to take away the magic somehow.
But more than that, I was angry that my actions to save my teacher had actually become a good thing for them.
"I will get out somehow."
He abandoned his previous plan to wait for his master's help and thought of a way to get through this situation on his own.
'Deception... No way. The difference in level with the other person is too great. If you dispel, the magic core will not be able to hold on. It seems that Bing Ling is having a hard time just holding on. If so.'
Although I learned magic from the Demon King and my maximum magic power increased incomparably, my magical abilities themselves did not improve significantly.
The number of magic tricks he knows is absolutely small, and his theoretical knowledge is infinitely low.
However, there was a part of it that had grown to the point where it was rude to compare it with before.
"Let's go into close combat."
It starts with the lowest level of wind magic.
It is a spell that has no actual power to the extent that it is difficult to call it magic anywhere, but if you hit it with magic that has increased many times compared to before, the story will be different.
The wind blowing from all directions did not have the power to harm people as before. Still, the soil and sand on the ground rose up with a whirlpool, limiting the view.
"Stop it! He's using his tricks!"
The mages tried to use Dispel without panic, but they didn't expect me to break the ice wall and rush at them in the meantime.
The performance of the body, which was strengthened while passing through the ordeal, was not inferior to that of the knights at all, and although it was limited, it was also possible to use the orator.
The mage's choice to deal with the knight rushing right in front of him was to close his eyes.
He killed one mage as it was, and now there were only seven left. I had to hurry. I eliminated the two without much damage, but the odds of winning the game were not great if I went into a long-term battle like this.
He moved the bony arm behind his back to pick up the spear and knife that had fallen to the ground. He didn't miss a moment's chance to block the magic that stabbed in, and also killed the wizard who was a few steps away.
I can. If you move fast like this, you can kill them all. When you think so.
-Bow down.
An arrow that passes through the head.
If he hadn't reflexively lowered his body at the Demon King's words, he would have died as it was.
"Dryad. Tie it up."
Immediately after hearing a beautiful voice like a glass ball rolling, a thick and tough tree trunk emerged from the ground. It had been a long time since I left the forest, but the trees didn't care at all and surged up.
-Tsk. Are they elven tree hunters?
A group of elves began to intervene in the battle.
