flashing-
Lightning tore through the black night sky. Just before the blue-white flash hit the ground, dodging the pouring rain, or almost at the same time, someone near the command barracks shouted a spell..
“Drak-fulgarr!”
The owner of the voice raised his long sword high. The moment the blade caught a blue-black light, it turned in that direction like a lightning bolt that had been struck vertically..
Grumble-
“Ugh,”
With a low, heavy roar, the lightning was sucked into the blade and disappeared..
It was none other than the one-eyed Simos who gave the magic sword that doubled as a staff a 'lightning tip' and caught the lightning. She was moaning as if in pain, with blue-white electricity covering not only the blade but also her entire body..
“Drak-jud, cortho.”
Ellen, who appeared from behind, took over the baton and chanted a spell. The guy held out his wand and stabbed Simos in the trembling back..
“Descensus od-meo.”
The birch wand absorbed the electric current. The blue light contained in Simos passed through Ellen's wand and jumped into the air..
Grinding!
A silhouette blinking with dark blue light - the 'sheep of lightning' slowly taking shape. The lightning spirit, which instantly took the form of a ram, quickly rolled on its hind legs and soared into the sky..
Buhhh-!
With a strange cry, the ram flew away, flashing lightning. They rushed towards Menella, who was enveloping the 'Fortress of Storms'..
“Oh my god- ugh,”
Menella was a powerful wizard befitting the title of representative of the Council of Dawn, and was quite familiar with combat. However, the current counterattack seemed unexpected and made a sound of frustration..
However, he did not just let go. He instinctively raised his mana and added strength to the static electricity shield..
Rumbling-
The strengthened bastion of the storm flickered brightly like a midnight flare..
Be that as it may, the amount of lightning showed off an aggressive headbutt..
Parkan!
The moment the sheep and sphere, which contained enormous lightning and physical force, touched each other, sparks flew out with a strong impact sound..
While Menella was floating in the air and stumbling greatly, Thunder Yang seemed to have lost all momentum. A pair of massive horns were crushing the storm bastion..
Behehe!
No, it wasn't about destroying it, it was about absorbing it. A bright flash of light occurred as the curled horn scratched the spherical protective shield. Every time that happened, the amount of thunder grew bigger and the fortress of the storm shrunk..
As the embarrassed Menella tried to respond somehow, Gawin, who was holding on to the rope connected to her, shouted at the surroundings..
“Are you going to keep watching? Hurry up and attack-!”
The knights and officers who had been momentarily distracted by the magic battle came to their senses and took action. He subdued the soldiers who were deluded by the 'Seven Dreams' and were making a fuss, while taking the bows from their hands and shooting arrows..
The vassal wizards of Colmaros and Teryx, who appeared one after another, also memorized their own attack spells..
“These vile things-”
Menella's face twisted with anger. She tried to strengthen her defense somehow by raising her mana..
For a moment, the Storm Bastion was pushing back the rain of arrows and devouring the attack spells. The lightning spirit took aim at the moment when the shield was shaking and struck the final blow..
Kaang!
Finally, with a sharp metallic sound, the sphere of static electricity dissipated as if breaking..
Behehe-
The amount of lightning could not overcome the overload and disappeared like an explosion. The remains of the ram collapsed and flashed blue like scattered powder, and then a thunderbolt erupted from the spot..
Rumbling-
“Oh bright Lord.”
Several soldiers gaped at the sight as if a spirit had ascended to heaven..
“Bujo, muah- kehak!”
Meanwhile, Menella, who was quickly casting a spell, let out a scream. A long arrow had pierced his thigh diagonally..
At that time, when she was staggering as if she was going to fall at any moment, I immediately ran to Garwin and grabbed the magic rope he was holding on to..
“Pull it!”
Without even waiting for an answer, I pulled the rope with all my might. Menella maintained unusually strong buoyancy based on abundant mana, but my ghost strength was also far from common sense..
“draw-”
Every time I pulled the magic snare, Menella was dragged back to the ground. She struggled, as if embarrassed by the rapid descent, but took out a scroll from her bosom and tore it open..
Geeing.
Perhaps it was a scroll containing a transfer spell, and a strange wave spread along with a deep purple air current. But in the end nothing happened. It was because of the magic rope wrapped around the wrist - a ‘solid fixing snare’..
“Oh my.”
Menella, who understood the situation, distorted her face but quickly took out the second scroll and tore it up..
Buzzer-
Soon the rainwater puddle at the feet of Garwin and I began to boil, and a pile of mud poured out..
“What, what??”
Giik, Giiiii.
The mud pile grew to a height of more than 3 meters literally in the blink of an eye. Cracks appeared here and there in the mud pile, and the next moment, the shape of the bulky upper body was completed..
It has a simple but sufficiently threatening appearance, with no legs or head, only arms sprouting from a thick body... … . It was a ‘siege mud golem’.
Googungung.
The golem raised its huge palm, its only eye socket flashing red, as if it wanted to flatten us..
“This is raised-”
Just as I was about to let go of the rope and pounce on the guy, someone nearby jumped up like a swallow and swung a knife. The pitch-black sword light cut off the golem's thick arms like ice cream..
“……Euphria?”
The one who gracefully landed between us and the mud golem was none other than Euphria. She extended her left hand towards the golem, her 'Gauntlet of Destruction', and fired the 'Spear of Power', while looking sideways at me and shooting in a sharp tone..
“Stupid teacher, pull the string.!”
At that nervous shout, Gawin and I suddenly turned our heads and pulled the rope again..
“profit,”
Even though Menella had already been hit by a second arrow, she was still chanting a spell without giving up. Even as she was pulled into the snare, her lips continued to move, but she was unable to complete the spell..
pop!
Master Hagni's 'flame arrow' fired with 'correct aim' hit her in the chest. A small explosion occurred, and Menella, whose clothes as well as part of her face and hair were burned, fell to the ground without even screaming..
“Ugh,”
Perhaps she was wearing another spell, or was protected by some kind of magic tool, but Menella did not faint even though she fell upside down from a height of about 10 meters. She struggled in the mud and groped in her arms..
“catch-!”
It was useless. At that moment, a knight who was near the crash site suddenly attacked her. The knight who had invaded Yeonggeori was suppressing him as if crushing him, so even the delegates of the Dawn Council were helpless..
“Hold your chin properly!”
“Arrest! Take off the gag first.!”
Five or six knights rushed over and threw themselves on top of Menella, whose face was stuck in the mud from the rough hands..
The wizard who wandered through the heavy rain, beguiling the soldiers and summoning lightning, was completely neutralized less than 3 seconds after hitting the ground..
The garrison was in shambles again. Approximately 20 minutes after shaking off the confusion caused by the illusion of the red dragon, this time I engaged in battle with a representative of the Dawn Council who appeared out of nowhere, so it was only natural..
There were still many people who could not escape the illusion created by the ‘Seven Dreams’. Meanwhile, more than 50 people were killed or injured by being swept away or struck by lightning. Plus, this damn rain still showed no signs of stopping..
Some of the troops had to subdue the rampaging soldiers, while others had to help the priests and their assistants take care of the wounded. The rest were raising tensions by strengthening security and preparing for enemy attacks..
“What happened? Was the Council of Dawn really traitors??”
Among the soldiers busy cleaning up the mess, Euphria and I were holding on to Gawin, who we had joined forces with just now, and assessing the situation..
“It was not the Council of Dawn that betrayed, Master Ludo..”
Garwin answered with a stern expression as he rolled the magic snare into a size smaller than his fist and put it in the pouch..
“A few wizards in the council..”
“Well, what's the difference?…….”
“It's definitely different. Euphria, you know what I mean..”
Just as Or Inswick was pretending to be a disciple of a court wizard who had joined the student punitive force, Menella Piso was wearing the mask of a battle wizard dispatched to the Hunting Office troops..
She revealed her true face at the moment when the knights of the Teryx family tried to capture Baron Acraden by conveying his intentions. Menella, who hesitated for a moment due to the sudden situation, eventually memorized the spell by surprise. It threw away all the approaching knights and flew into the sky to try to escape..
If Garwin, who was acting as a backup nearby, had reacted a little later, Menella would have easily escaped from the garrison. However, Gawin threw a timely magic snare to catch her ankle and eventually succeeded in subduing her..
“Anyway, it's clear that things here aren't going quite as expected. It is an undeniable fact that the two delegates, Orr and Menella, infiltrated with strict intentions..”
It was natural for him to look happy since he had made a great contribution, but Gawin's expression remained stiff the whole time. It was a desolate atmosphere befitting the nickname ‘wilderness white’..
“But it's too early to judge anything. For now, the only thing left to do is to remain alert and obtain specific information from Representative Menela.-”
His words did not last until the end. This is because voices of struggling began to be heard from the command barracks..
“Ugh, ugh-! Ugh!”
It was a voice that was oppressed and painful, but it was definitely familiar to my ears. Because it was the voice of Menella, who had just been fighting..
“……Have you already woken up from fainting?.”
“I guess so. It's not dignified for someone like a delegate to struggle..”
“That's strange. It seemed like a lot of blood had been shed, but did he still have the strength to resist??”
“What can I do while I'm still tied up?.”
Euphria answered Gawin's questionable muttering in a calm manner, but I felt an ominous feeling and walked towards the voice..
“Teacher Ludo? Where are you going?”
As I approached the command barracks with Euphria's voice behind me, several priests and cathedral knights who seemed to have been called ran ahead of me with an appearance of haste..
While I was looking at the command barracks with an anxious feeling, a wind picked up from somewhere and the tent entrance flapped loudly..
“Ughhh! Ugh!”
Beyond the thick cloth, Menella, her entire body tightly bound and gagged, was struggling, rolling her eyes. Even when several strong knights held her down, her struggles did not stop..
“Ugh, uhhh, uhhh!”
At that moment, a black light filled Menella's eyes, as if black ink had been released. Since the magical power was sealed, the energy was also asleep, but through a familiar feeling and instinctive resistance, I was able to notice the identity of the light..
“……Magi?”
The magic energy that was overflowing in the eye light, the magic power of the dark world overflowed like an explosion..
“What is this-”
“It's dangerous, stay back.!”
While the knights filling the command barracks grabbed the leaders, including Baron Acraden and Oth, and retreated, a priest gathered his surprise and took a step forward..
“I ask you, O bright one who stands alone, to shine the light of purification.!”
With a short prayer, white light poured out from the priest's outstretched hand. However, the sticky swirling magic energy only briefly retreated from the sacred light and did not melt or disperse..
“oh my god lord.”
The very moment the priest muttered in a lost voice,
“Yeah, yeah!”
Menella, who had been beaming as she bent her back, gasped and opened her jaw..
I love you-
Between the mouth that seemed to be torn open and the gag, a sticky black mist spewed out ceaselessly. The whirling air currents gathered together with that momentum. For a moment, a scene as if a huge snake was swimming in the air unfolded, and then the black air current broke through the tent and rose into the sky. Menella, who was left alone in the command barracks, looked as if all the fluids in her body had been squeezed out, and her limbs hung limply..
Kugoogung, Kugugoogung-
The magical air current, which seemed as if it would just disappear between the pouring rain clouds, struck the road garrison with a rumbling sound like thunder..
To be precise, it was towards the barracks where the wounded soldiers were gathered..
“……uh, crazy.”
As I opened my mouth with an extremely ominous feeling, dozens of disks of gray-white light appeared in my field of vision. The disks of light clung to each other like lumps of clay and grew in size..
-Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
Finally, a disk was completed, a disk that looked like the eye of something transcendentally large. For a moment, everyone in the garrison was overwhelmed by the gloomy light seen beyond the black border and the terrible energy felt there..
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
An unprecedented attraction began to be felt from the disc..
“Lu, Mr. Ludo? What is this again?,”
As I turned my attention to Euphria standing next to me, my eyes met with bright blue eyes between the tents..
Ellen, who was looking around with a puzzled expression, saw me and opened her mouth as if she was about to shout something..
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
And the next moment, gray-white energy poured out from the disk..
No, it was a mistake. The disc and the other side of the world had swallowed up the garrison and the entire area..
