Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 69

"I broke the spell!?"

"By what means?!"

"Oh, that's ridiculous! That doesn't make sense!"

While all the students at the academy were shocked and astonished, and some warriors even looked at them with laughter as if they were dreaming, Ragnis had to make a huge effort to appear calm..

'What kind of nonsense have you done again?!'

It's not like the magic was broken with magic. The magic that Siegfried had created was destroyed within a few seconds simply by swinging the sword in the air without any movement of mana. It wasn't just destroyed, it was completely blown up..

Unlike warriors, wizards had no choice but to freeze as if they had just witnessed the sight of heaven and earth turning upside down..

Just because you can shorten it and use it without chanting doesn't mean you can activate magic at will. That's why everyone was amazed by Ragnis' one dance without chanting, and even Esselua, who was his sparring partner, couldn't stop praising her with her eyes shining..

The faster you use it, the more difficult the magic becomes. Things that are already complicated and difficult become twice as difficult..

The magic that the warrior condensed into words and cast was also like that. Considering the scale, even Ragnis couldn't activate that level of magic with words..

However, if I hadn't seen it in person, I would have dismissed it as a bad joke or nonsense told by someone ignorant of magic. It's no different than seeing a dragon being stabbed to death by a wooden sword..

Nevertheless, Eldmia seemed to feel no difficulties. As if it was natural for her. She swung her sword and unleashed her magic, confident that she would succeed..

Unlike other wizards, Ragnis was not shocked by the sight..

I just held the corners of my mouth that were about to go up to my ears and looked at Eldmia, feeling like my heart was going to explode..

Even with a true hero in front of me, I just looked at my own brilliant light with watery eyes..

◈

"As expected, the bigger the magic, the better it explodes.."

Although it is a fact that has already been proven by the demons' bead bombs, it feels different when you see it with your own eyes. I have limited magical knowledge, so I have no idea what kind of magic was about to come, but it wouldn't have been comfortable at all if it had been activated..

I instinctively knew that the wind blowing around the hero was not just wind, but a blade made of wind, so I focused my senses as much as possible and moved my magic..

I slowly wrapped magic around the sword and my body, feeling like magic was wrapped around the sword beyond the gate. I felt an additional layer of magical energy being added in a completely different way than what I normally do..

And in response, my entire body's senses became sharper, and a scene full of crazy colors began to unfold before my eyes..

It was a really crazy sight, but now I understand..

Magic power, mana, aura, and spirit energy that are artificially moved are all color-coded..

"It's worth it."

A sharp wind flashes with blue light and sweeps around the hero. And it wasn't as detailed as it seemed.

It literally looks like a floating blade. If you are in a strengthened state like now, it is not difficult to avoid, and even if you get cut, you can survive..

"What a well-crafted fantasy.."

It wasn't about changing something that wasn't happening into something that was happening and something that was happening that wasn't happening. The core of the magic surrounded by touch and sparring was spatial magic..

That sharp wind is real. If you get cut by that, the flesh will literally fall off..

Before doing so, it distorts space so that it cannot touch the human body, and instead creates pain and wounds by overlaying it with an illusion. In terms of technology, it is an absurd magic that can be called overtechnology..

That's why the empire was putting so much effort into nurturing human resources..

"Hehehe! What on earth did you do?!"

"Isn’t everyone bound to have at least one secret?."

Above all, at some point you even slightly forget that this is all an illusion. It's designed so that if you don't force yourself to be aware of it and remember it, you'll keep forgetting it and you won't be able to think things like 'It's just an illusion anyway'..

Even though there are so many people who are exceptional enough to pour this level of magic into education, the beings called demon kings and demons are a threat. Feeling once again that there is no end to the mountains I have to overcome, I kicked off the ground and ran..

"It's pretty good! Let’s compete with our bodies.!"

The hero, who suddenly seemed to be in a good mood when his magic was completely destroyed, bared his teeth again and rushed forward with a different movement than before. Looking at the aura that seemed insignificant, it seems like they were trying to use all their resources, from elemental magic to magic..

I guess I'm thinking of hitting on something in earnest, but am I crazy??

"Would you watch such an ignorant match against a hero??"

"what?"

"Humans are human because they use tools and technology.."

He narrowly avoids the horizontal slash of the great sword being swung with all his might by sliding on his knees. In the meantime, two blades of wind passed through my abdomen with the difference of a piece of paper, but fortunately there was no injury..

As the face of the huge sword blade grazed the tip of his nose, he stretched out his right hand, filled with as much magic as possible, grabbed the blade, kicked the ground, and swung the sword at the hero. I don't know how strong I was, but in that brief moment, my body was blown away as if I was riding some kind of roller coaster..

Because the speed was much faster than expected, I felt a slight scratch on the palm of my hand holding the blade and pain, but it was fully expected..

"uh?"

Since I showed you something earlier, I can see the back of the hero's head, who naturally thought I was going to hide behind the sword and aim for his side. Even though I'm floating in the air holding my sword, don't I feel any weight? It's truly an incredibly powerful force..

I wonder when they'll find out, but it's a shameful thing to delay and lose..

I jumped on the blade of the sword like I was riding a skateboard and stabbed it in..

The warrior's head turned around as if he had noticed the change in the weight of the sword, but it was already too late. Since only an ordinary height was assumed, even sharp winds are no restrictions at this height..

There was no resistance. Because it's a fantasy.

But my sword definitely pierced the warrior’s solar plexus..

"Until there! The winner is Eldmia!"

Cheers erupted from the students along with Zidli's shout..

"I defeated the warrior!!"

"okay! It's called swordsmanship! The fucking swordsmanship isn't wrong!!"

"Ouch! Look, warrior! The technology that humans have built up is not wrong.!!"

The warriors, both men and women, who were so enthusiastic that they were nearly 80% crazy, ran wild as if they were crazy, so it was scary..

The problem is that even that human being is participating in it..

"This is ridiculous.."

The warrior, who was looking down at my sword that was still stuck in his chest and had not yet disappeared, burst into laughter. Surprisingly, there was no irritation or ridicule in it. The hero's gaze suddenly turned towards me, as if he had eaten something wrong..

"Why did you become so strong??"

It was a completely different look than what I had shown so far..

To be honest, I really liked those calm eyes that made me wonder if he had become a completely different person..

"When I was 8 years old, my village burned down and my entire family died in the first monumental attack by the Demon King's army.?"

Because of that, I briefly put aside the pretense I had shown so far and only responded with a voice that could be overshadowed by cheers. Anyway, if that guy is a wind spirit or something, you'll be able to hear it..

"I don't want to experience such an unfair experience twice in my life. So, first of all, I want to become strong enough to split the head of the demon bastard who ordered it.."

"You said you would leave the hero alone and step forward.?"

I don't know if I have a lack of understanding or if I don't understand what's being said, but it feels like they're saying something else. Leave my revenge to why?

"What do you leave alone? They say you will split the devil's head. I only target the one who gave the order. I have no complaints about the demons themselves. It's just that the target is a demon.."

"...? I'm saying that because I don't know much, but isn't that an order from the devil??"

"If the Demon King has no military knowledge, he will be given a commander. The current Demon King is that type.."

This was a fact I found out by scraping through information that didn't really exist. Each demon king has different characteristics. A very strong guy. He's extremely weak, but his brains are extraordinary. A guy who is only a physical person, a guy who only uses magic, etc..

The current Demon King was a person who reached the status of Demon King solely through personal force..

"So you and I have different things to do. You're fighting demons. I'm just taking revenge."

I continued speaking as I approached the warrior and held out my hand..

"If I kill a guy of that caliber, no one will touch me so easily.?"

"...under. young. He was a guy with interesting ideas without any pretense.."

The hero smiled fiercely again as he held my outstretched hand..

"Out of all the guys I've met so far, I like you the best.."

My first impression was that he was a useless guy, but I think there's room to wait and see a little more..

"I thought the warrior was also sick, but I think part of it was an act.."

"It's the warrior's deep intention, so just pretend you don't know.."

"Even if it has a deep meaning, it's just like being a bitch during break time, right? I feel embarrassed when I hear it. It's not a monkey, what is it??"

"Are you going to get into a fight with this guy? Because of you, the spirits keep joining in and criticizing me.."

The argument is that it was clearly Ji's fault. Still, it looks like the spirit is in the right place..

"You must be able to distinguish between public and private matters. If you do something wrong, you will be caught and manipulated by the empire.."

"...It's fun. Let's talk about that later.."

I thought he was a mindless middle school student, but surprisingly, he turned out to be a warrior who showed normal reactions. This guy may be surprisingly fake crazy..

"Eldmia!!! Eldmiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!"

"Eldmia!! take me!!"

"Ouch! Kingdom Knight! kingdom knight!"

okay. That's real madness.

It's really noisy. Thanks to this, I don't have to worry about my conversation with the hero falling into someone's ears, but there's no sign of the heat cooling down at all..

Today is day 1 and it looks like that. I have no idea what will happen next and my head is starting to pound..
