Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 447
[447Tue] No disrespect
Master and Seneran left and only the church members remained in the ruins, but nothing particularly changed..
The only changes were that several trap-type magic tools that Seneran had packed were laid out around her, and the emergency fund she had left in case of an unexpected situation took her place. The members of the church began their day with a prayer in a devout posture, and repeated their daily routine of inspecting the ruins and occasionally warming up in preparation for battle..
Asili also did not stay still..
She was making primitive traps and sniping points every day, probably with the intention of fortifying the entire forest in this area, and every morning she woke up at dawn and took me with her to tell me the locations..
"It's not too much.?"
All of the traps were results that could only be described as full of malice, so I was surprised when they made something like this, but the number of them was so unusual that when I asked hesitantly, Asilier opened her eyes and asked back..
"There is nothing excessive when dealing with demons in the sleeping forest. On the contrary, LDI does not take its enemies lightly.?"
"To be honest, I don't think it's as good as the buffalo horn I saw in Levien.."
Even though they have such skills, there are people who turn a blind eye because they have the temperament of social misfits, but it is impossible for such people to be dispatched here at such an incredible timing.?
Even if the end of childhood that you mentioned has arrived, I don't think it makes sense in terms of probability..
"Still, I don't think of this as negligence. If I meet someone like that twice in a row, it's not that I let my guard down, it's that the world is messed up.."
So this time, I was confident and spoke based on probability, but Asilier's response was not very satisfactory..
After becoming convinced that there would be raiders coming not only from Asili but also from us, there was a big change in Saint Deoni's training policy..
"Maybe it's a place where our help can't reach, but as long as we fight together, what's important right now is not defense. It is punishment for those who dare to insult God.."
The defensive classes that had been going on so far were thrown away and the curriculum was completely changed to focus on offensive techniques..
Another rush of training was enough to completely take my mind off me, to the point where I wondered if I was overly blindly believing in the power of Shin Seong-ryong sleeping within me, which was steadily rising like water from a mineral spring, and that alone made the four days go by in an instant..
For now, everything was going well. Not to mention the procurement of food ingredients, the process of learning how to cook was the same. In the end, it seems like the thing I was most apt for was attacking techniques..
By the third day, even the saint was amazed at my application skills and couldn't help but add a word..
"Even the Heretic Judges, who are said to be able to fly long and long, will not be able to use Holy Law in as many diverse forms as you. Is it the power of a warrior??"
"Uh... I don't know. It's just a little easier.."
In fact, unlike my vague answer, the reason was clear..
According to what I have personally experienced for a few days, the Holy Law is basically based on imagination. The more specifically you envision the armor, shield, or shield surrounding your body, the more solid the sacred method of defense becomes, and the more effective the sacred method of healing becomes, the more clearly you imagine that your wounds are healing..
The same goes for the attack method. Whether you make a shield and throw it, make a spear and throw it, throw lightning, or imagine a thorny vine that entangles the enemy's feet and hurts them, the more specific it is, the more effective it is..
The imagination of people in modern society who have lived their entire lives exposed to various types of mass media is transformed into an effective weapon..
"In particular, I did not expect the spear of light just thrown to explode. I am glad that I too will be able to learn a lot from you through this training.."
Magic exists, and there are crazy people who create craters with just a javelin, but the idea of combining them is more difficult than you might think. Even I am not creating something new, but rather trying to attack by referring to plausible and easy things I have seen in cartoons, movies, and games..
Right now, the limitations are clear due to the lack of ability to use divine power, but it was clear that it would become a very powerful weapon over time..
◈
The wizard, who had repeatedly moved through space to track down Seneran and the church group, opened his eyes feeling a cold chill covering his face..
My whole body was creaking because I had fallen asleep relying on poorly prepared camping gear and a campfire. His sunken eyes, covered with dark circles, seemed to represent the fatigue he was feeling, but the captain, who was leaning against the wall and leisurely juggling two hatchets, immediately got up from his seat and asked cheerfully as soon as he sensed his presence..
"Is your recovery complete??"
"hmm..."
Although the fatigue was still there, it was true that his magic power had recovered, so the wizard finished his answer with a small nod..
Take a two-day break at a time to move through space. If they had just kept and moved like that, there would have been no reason for them to become so emaciated, but the problem was that there were humans left in the place where they arrived after completing the space movement..
Since nothing happened at the gate located in the abandoned dungeon, I let my guard down a little. If the humans who were investigating the gate used by the orcs had reacted even a little faster, the situation would not have ended in a dire situation..
Still, the wizard decided to think positively. Normally, I would have laid down on the cold stone floor without any camping gear, but thanks to the items used by the humans, I was able to get some rest. A little bloody smell wasn't a problem..
"Okay, so where do you want to jump this time? Are you going straight to the temple??"
"no. After adjusting the coordinates a bit, it falls nearby.."
"why? Just do the same thing, right? It was fun."
The wizard looked at the captain with a frown, but soon realized that he meant what he said and straightened his expression. He liked war more than eating, so he led his tribe's combat troops like a detachment and clashed with Itisel, causing a disaster in which more than half of them were killed. However, his desire for battle remained the same..
Whether it was a one-sided massacre, a close fight, or death by an overwhelming enemy, this battle enthusiast was sure to greet it with a smile. If you waste your emotions on someone who has that type of personality, you will only end up with unnecessary fatigue..
"I'm not ignoring your skills, but I don't want to take any risks. Even after arriving nearby, I have to rest for another two days to assist you. You won't tell me to fight and throw rocks at you.."
"hmm. That's right. Because I miss one person."
The only thing that has changed is the caution with which we complete the mission..
I don't know what kind of contract he signed, but the maniac who drove his tribe to death and slaughtered his enemies with a smile learned the prudence to accurately estimate the success of a mission. The wizard who knew the other person only through documents without any direct connection was a change for which the reason was unknown and a change he did not necessarily want to understand..
This is a move made by the higher-ups because the skills are suitable for accomplishing the mission. That was enough.
"Move right away."
"Your face doesn't look like anything, but it's not like you fell off while using magic.?"
"Resting more doesn't mean you'll get better right away, and it's not like there's a problem with your magic. It would be better to move a little faster, find a hiding place, and rest there.."
"If that's the case then."
As if there was no need to ask twice, he straightened his back and clinked the axes in both hands, and the other demons who had been sleeping all jumped out of their seats and woke up..
"Move! Gather together! Anyway, I have to go and rest for another two days, so pack all my camping gear.!"
There were no complaints. The subordinates moved quickly and gathered all the tools they could. Among them, there were those who had the leisure to search through the bodies of corpses and even find cigarette wrappers and tinder..
The preparations were completed quickly, and the wizard took a look at those gathered around him and then activated his magic without any warning..
The wizard's brow furrowed as the bracelets on his arms glowed blue and began to greedily absorb the magic power flowing through his magic organs..
I could never get used to the feeling of my magic organ shrinking due to the magic power draining away so quickly..
In the distant past, I admired the ability of magic tools that allowed me to travel a considerable distance without a gate, and I felt proud of the demon lord who created such an object, but now it is just a faded memory..
"Goes."
Unlike past memories, the pain was so clear that the space was distorted along with the sensation of a magic organ exploding. And before I could properly perceive the change, the surrounding landscape changed and the cave turned into a forest..
Unlike the wizard, who collapses as soon as he confirms that the spell was successful, the demons threw away the tools they had packed without worrying about who would go first and spread out to the surroundings while maintaining a certain distance. The captain looked with satisfaction at his subordinates who naturally started searching, then looked at the wizard, who was half asleep on the floor, panting, and asked..
"You came to the right place, right??"
"...It came exactly. If you move northwest from here, you will reach the temple.."
After hearing the wizard's answer, the captain smiled in satisfaction and took a deep breath..
"A priest and a saint meet death in an ancient temple. How will Epaga react?."
I wondered if there was anyone who could properly deal with me, but it was nothing compared to the exhilaration that came from the historical moment of committing an unprecedented act of blasphemy..
