Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 238
◈ 238. [Side Story] Indelible
a few hours ago.
Barracks in downtown Crossroads. Raina's room.
“The procedure is almost over..”
After finishing the magic treatment on Junior, Raina wiped her hands and stood up..
“How are you feeling??”
“How are you sleeping? … I'm still dying…….”
Junior adjusted his clothes with a pale complexion..
“I overexerted myself last time and my magic furnace is still boiling over... … Ugh.”
“He's so cruel.”
Raina swung her hand and hit Junior's bare back..
Junior is crushed! She let out a strange scream and shook her body..
“Why are you hitting me! To a sick patient!”
“The magic furnace hurts, not my back.?”
I heard it was true, but it was still unfair because it was true..
Raina grinned at Junior, who rolled his eyes in dissatisfaction..
“Keep this in mind. This procedure is not a panacea. In the future, discomfort will decrease and life expectancy will increase, but the scars of magic engraved on the heart will be difficult to completely cure..”
Junior closed his mouth and placed his hand on his left chest. Reyna continued..
“You will suffer from aftereffects for the rest of your life, and your life will be shorter than others..”
“I'm not being mean, now.……?”
“Well, it's still better than before, right? right?”
It was definitely as Reina said..
Originally, I was going to die within the next few years..
Every time I used magic, I would vomit blood, and my stomach would hurt so much that I would stay up all night burning herbs like cigarettes..
It still hurts like this when I overdo it, and I sometimes wake up in the middle of the night feeling pain. Obviously better than before. It was thanks to Raina who helped with the procedure..
‘so… … why?’
Why did this woman help me so much??
Junior made several guesses on his own, but Raina did not give an answer until the end. They just say things like ‘good is good’…….
“I will return to the Imperial Capital after the next defensive battle..”
When Junior finished getting dressed and stood up, Raina suddenly suggested something..
“Do you want to go together??”
“yes?”
“Announce your magical achievements directly to the Ivory Tower, and go into the Magic Tower to do some research... … I don't think it would be fun to do it?”
Junior's mind went blank for a moment at the unexpected suggestion..
Magic research in the imperial capital, the center of world magic.…….
For Junior, who has taught himself magic all his life, it was a dizzyingly sweet offer..
“…….”
however. Junior shook his head without thinking for long..
“This Monster Front is the first place that treated me as a wizard. Mom too... … She gave her life here.”
“hmm.”
“I may leave someday, but not yet. I couldn't repay all the favors I received from His Majesty the Prince..”
“okay? It's a shame.”
Raina didn't bother to suggest anything further. She just smiles coolly and shrugs her shoulders.
“Then, after a few days, you will no longer be able to receive this healing treatment or valuable teachings. It would be a good idea to hang out with this lady more often.?”
“How could this suit you any better?……?”
“Let's have lunch together and go to a cafe to chat. There's something to talk about about your magic..”
“I'm not feeling well…….”
“Will my magical injuries get better if I sleep in bed? If you eat, drink, and rest comfortably, you will get better, so don't talk nonsense and follow me..”
Reina, who declared unilaterally, hummed and put on her coat..
Junior raised his hands. Anyway, this old wizard does whatever he wants. And this is the one who received treatment.…….
‘Looks like I'm being dragged around again today.’
Junior followed behind Raina, and Raina cheerfully took the lead and opened the door..
It's good-
“hmm?”
and.
Standing in front of the door was a middle-aged man I had never seen before..
It was a man with dark brown hair that hung down like seaweed. There is a gloomy light in the two eyes that are immersed in rain..
“Lord Rayna.”
Man - Camus, the newly hired mercenary at Crossroads, opened his mouth..
“Long time no see. remember me?”
Raina blinked in confusion for a moment and scratched the back of her head..
“This is because my memory got worse as I got older... … Excuse me, but who are you??”
“It's normal not to be recognized. Your Imperial Magic Corps specializes only in long-distance artillery warfare.?”
Camus grinned..
“You probably didn't get a chance to see the victim's face..”
“……?”
Raina, who noticed something strange about the other person, quickly looked around..
“……!”
And found it.
The sight of his subordinates, who should have been standing guard in front of his door, collapsed with blood spraying across the hallway..
Camus slowly but clearly introduced himself..
“I am a man who lost his wife and child to you 15 years ago..”
sreung!
A thick long sword was pulled out of the scabbard on Camus’ waist..
At the same time, Reina jumped backwards and stretched out her hands forward..
Going to school-!
A powerful bullet of wind shot out from Reina's fingertips..
It wasn't something to brag about, but it was an anti-personnel killing spell that defeated so many enemies that it was difficult to even count the kill count if the enemy was at close range..
Reina thought that the man in front of her would also be subdued with blood spraying all at once..
however.
Zeng-!
has disappeared.
When Camus swung his sword, the bullet of wind fired by Reina disappeared as if it were being sucked in..
At the same time, a rune engraved on the body of the long sword Camus was holding flickered white. Raina's eyes widened..
‘That weapon is definitely a Spell-Drinker.)……?!’
A sword that absorbs magic..
Where did these ancient artifacts come from?…….
Taat!
The next moment, Camus immediately kicked the ground and rushed in front of Raina. I have narrowed the distance.
Raina urgently casted wind magic and fired it, but it was all absorbed by Camus' sword and disappeared. Confusion flashed across Raina's face..
‘Damn this is dangerous-’
Raina hastily gathered her magical power and created a shield in front of her body, but.
deeply-!
Camus' long sword instantly tore through the shield and pierced Reyna's abdomen with momentum..
“big… … black?!”
“I trained my whole life to put an end to you wizards..”
Camus spoke coldly in the ear of Raina, who was bending over and coughing up blood..
“It doesn't give you distance, it doesn't give you time. Then, no matter how great the wizard is, he would put it on my sword like this..”
Raina, who was bleeding from the corner of her mouth, raised her trembling eyes and glared at Camus..
“You, you… … Who are you? why me…….”
“Do you remember Camilla's kingdom??”
Camus sneered and spat out.
“15It's a small country in the north that your empire trampled on years ago. I was a soldier of that country.”
Raina's eyes widened..
Camilla Kingdom. How can you forget?.
Jupiter, Raina, and Junior. It was in that country that the fates of the three wizards diverged..
“In the war that trampled that small country, your Imperial Magic Corps burned the people of my country, regardless of age or gender. They burned and killed civilians in the name of eradicating guerrillas..”
“……!”
“My wife and children lived in one of the villages you magically wiped out. The whole village was reduced to ashes and no bodies were found..”
Camus coldly muttered as he pushed the stabbing longsword deeper..
“You probably didn't intend to die comfortably when you did something like that, Sir Rayna, Commander-in-Chief of the Magic Corps.?”
“Ugh……!”
“Die feeling at least a small part of the pain my country and my family suffered..”
Phuwak-!
Camus kicked Reina's chest with his foot, pulled out his long sword, and raised it upward..
He just tried to hit Raina's head..
flashing!
At that time, lightning struck.
Camus reflexively rolled to the side and raised his long sword..
The thunderbolt magic was absorbed by Camus' longsword, and a rune engraved on the longsword glowed and then faded..
Camus' cold eyes glared at the opponent who fired the lightning spell..
Junior was raising his cane with a pale complexion..
“Stop! right now!”
“Are you a magic corps member too? Then you just die too.”
“No, I’m from Camilla Kingdom too! I live in the same city as you! So, calm down and just stop.!”
Then a faint look of bewilderment crossed Camus' face..
“They say they are from the Kingdom of Camilla.?”
“is it so. And I too am a victim of magic bombing..”
Junior rolled up his sleeves to reveal his left arm. The burns inflicted by her magic bombardment remained clearly..
“I completely understand how you feel. So calm down a little bit.…….”
“She is a magic bombing survivor from Camilla Kingdom. Why are you protecting that woman??”
Camus asked with a look of complete incomprehension..
“That woman, Reina, and her magic corps… … The Everblack Empire! They trampled on our homeland. Even innocent civilians were massacred with magic bombing. If you are the one in question, why are you just casually hanging out with them??”
“Well, that's…….”
Junior was momentarily speechless and stammered..
“that… … I am…….”
Suddenly a childhood nightmare flashed through my mind..
The day when lightning and a tornado swept through a small town. The day when everyone in the village was killed in droves. The charred corpses of people, roars and screams. A bitter burnt smell…….
“…….”
Junior was left wondering what to do, and Camus just looked at the young wizard..
It was then.
Return to school! Going to school-!
Reina, who was lying down holding her pierced stomach, shot out air from her hand with a vicious look in her eyes..
Camus quickly swung his longsword and absorbed all the magic, but each time, the light of the runes engraved on the longsword faded one by one..
Eventually, when all the runes' lights went out, Camus' longsword could no longer absorb magic..
Powwow-!
Camus' body, unable to block the ensuing wind magic, floated in the air and crashed into the wall on the other side..
Camus twisted his mouth and smiled bitterly..
“Oh my, damn it... … I was distracted... … You gave me distance and time……!”
pop! Pubbung! Craddangtangtang!
The wind magic that rained down on him in succession completely overwhelmed him..
“Haha, haha, haha……!”
Raina, who used her last strength to crush Camus, let out a gasp and eventually collapsed, coughing up blood..
Junior finally came to his senses and hurriedly took out a potion and poured it on Raina's injury, shouting as loud as he could to the outside..
“Also, help me! Someone here is hurt! hurry-!”
***
today.
“oh my…….”
After hearing the news from Ader, I pressed my painful forehead with my fingertips..
Camus, the newly selected SR-level warrior character, committed a stabbing attack, and Reina, her subordinates, and Junior, who were attacked, were transported to the temple..
“Lord Raina was seriously injured and underwent surgery, but is currently on the brink of death. Four of the soldiers under his command were also seriously injured..”
“Junior is?”
“Fortunately, you didn't get hurt... … It seemed like he was mentally struggling. He is currently resting in the hospital room..”
“…….”
I pressed my forehead harder and slowly let out..
“Camus?”
“I am detained in prison. All weapons have been disarmed and captured..”
I turned my head and asked Lucas..
“If you intentionally swing a weapon at an ally and cause injury, what punishment will you receive under military law??”
“It will vary depending on the severity of the injury, but if the case is serious, it can lead to the death penalty..”
Lucas answered in a stern voice without any pitch..
“Moreover, Sir Rayna, who was attacked this time, is the commander-in-chief of the magic corps directly under the imperial family. If he swung his sword with the intention of killing such a person... … He will have a hard time avoiding the death penalty..”
“…….”
Phew.
I sighed briefly and got up..
“Let's go to jail first..”
It was the first time that allies tried to kill each other in my military camp..
I felt the need to know why.
“I need to talk to Camus about why he did this..”
