Chapter 56. Snake’s Tomb (3)

Toktok.

I tapped the floor with my toes a few times.

Are the flowers blooming this season so fragrant?

Now that I suddenly feel it so strongly, I must have gotten used to the scent of that red flower. But I still haven’t asked the name of that flower.

-…… Exciting!

Plantz, pushing away the regret that seemed to be passing by, wondering if he should have just caught one more person and told him to go, lifted up Sinasta.

I feel drowsy.

Apparently, the thin needle had anesthetic solution on it. It seems like it has already reached my body. I saw so much sleep that I didn’t normally enjoy.

– Excited!

If you don’t hear it, you’ll be very disappointed, but when you do, a not-so-pleasant sound buzzes throughout your head. It was the sound of the power of blessing moving.

Knock knock knock.

I tapped the floor again.

“My brother, who is so worried… when are you planning to arrive?”

With a low voice slowly flowing out, the two swords contained the wind again. The red marks that followed the footsteps permeated the ground with a bloody smell stronger than the scent of flowers.

* * *

Just a little while ago.

Kirie, who instantly cut off the breath of the two people she was dealing with, approached Hina. And while holding Hina’s hand, I ran without hesitation to where I could hear Rachel’s footsteps.

‘Take Hina to Marquis Rin’s mansion.’

In order to completely carry out the one thing Plantz requested.

The nine knights who saw one of their targets trying to leave the place moved all at once.

– Tadat!

Kirie didn’t see them exchanging glances with each other. However, I heard the sound of three of them remaining surrounding Planz and the remaining six turning and running after Kirie. and.

“me.”

Plantz moved his feet.

Holding two swords of different colors at an angle, he blocked the steps of the nine knights.

“… I’m here.”

With those words, the second fight began.

The sound of the wind as blades move dizzyingly, the sound of sharp edges from swords touching each other, the sound of footsteps constantly changing direction, and the single-word scream of someone other than Plants. When I saw and listened to it and slowed down for a moment, Hina’s voice rang in my head.

– You’re buying time. We should go quickly, what if we hesitate?

– okay. Hina.

Kirie, who unconsciously gave the answer in her heart instead of her mouth, ran again toward the place where Rachel’s footsteps came from. Rachel wasn’t that far away. To be precise, it was returning as if it was running towards sponsorship from somewhere else.

“I walked around the palace, but there was no wizard. Where on earth is he?”

Kirie listened for a moment after hearing those words. The sound of the fight in the annex was not heard as if it had stopped. This means that the silent membrane is still operating.

Kirie, with a stiff face, shook her head and said.

“First of all, we need to move to Marquis Lin’s residence as quickly as possible.”

“Where are you, Crown Prince? And why is Marquis Lin suddenly?”

When Kirie was about to respond, Hina took out the earring again and placed it in Rachel’s hand. He then pointed in the direction of the Marquis Lin’s residence.

“I’ll explain as we go. So, speed up, Sir Grace.”

“……I figured it out.”

Rachel, who was looking towards the annex for a moment at Kyrie’s words, nodded and moved her magic.

Hiding in the dark shadows, the three, relying on Kirie’s hearing, escaped through the back gate of the palace by eluding or quietly knocking out the guards inside the palace. Most of the knights were gathered near the main gate to guard against Marquis Lei Jian Lin’s private army, so they were able to move with ease.

Unlike Kairis, the capital of Secretia, Secreta, was not allowed to build mansions for nobles within its walls. Inside the castle, there were only a number of shops including a plaza cafe and a bar, buildings for various associations such as the Wizards Association, and the Temple of Serenti. Therefore, Lei Jian’s mansion was also located outside the inner castle.

The good news was that the inner city was not that big and that Lei Jian’s mansion was not that far away from the inner city.

Rachel, who heard about Plantz’s plan while making the resistance, put a little more effort into her magical power. Thanks to this, although I was walking on two feet, I was able to run as fast as a horse, and it wasn’t long before I stopped at a place where I could see the huge marquis’ mansion.

There was only one reason why they didn’t run to the front gate of the Marquis’s residence.

“What is that…”

This is because of the numerous knights blocking the front of the castle gate.

Knights wearing light armor with the Secretia royal emblem engraved on it. The elite knights of the Secretia Royal Palace. And you can see other knights and soldiers standing with their backs to the mansion across from there. It was a private soldier left behind by Lei Jian to defend the mansion.

Arianne was standing in front of them. Outside the mansion, wearing casual clothes and no light armor.

“I’ll take a look inside and if there’s no problem, I’ll return, so open the door.”

“They said they couldn’t open the door to the mansion.”

“We have confirmed that there was an act of betrayal to the royal family by colluding with the forces of Kairis here.”

“You mean betrayal? Didn’t you say that Concubine Louise, the Crown Prince’s mother, is here right now? Are you saying that the concubine was plotting treason?”

The argument was in full swing.

Things were happening just as Planz had predicted.

“This is your Majesty’s order. Lady, please get out of the way.”

“I know that Your Highness gave poison to your concubine. But do you think I will allow you to appear in front of your concubine accompanied by armed knights?”

“Please refrain from speaking. If you say something that will damage Your Majesty’s honor with groundless claims…” “

Shut up. You are basing this on accusing us, who protect the concubine, as traitors. “Is there any basis for that statement?”

“Stand aside. This is a warning.”

The knight, who spoke a warning to Arianne, placed his hand on the handle of his sword. All of the knights in the palace took a stance as if they would draw their swords at any moment. It was literally a warning.

Rachel looked at Kyrie for a moment and moved her hand.

– Sigh!

At the same time, the knights blocking the gap between Arianne and Rachel were pushed back and forth to create a path. The floor they were standing on moved to both sides.

There is no reason for Crown Prince Kairis’ fiancé to go back on the road.

If there is no straight road, we have to create one.

“Please come in.”

Rachel pointed to the path created as if the tide was breaking and smiled slightly at Hina. It was as if he could not see the royal knights all around him.

Hina nodded and took a step.

The royal knights held swords. Then, although it was nothing compared to Calian’s, a breathtaking murderous force that could never be ignored attacked the knights of the royal palace.

It was a real warning, not just a statement that anyone who touched my brother would be killed.

The driver who had been talking to Arianne frowned for a moment and then nodded. With that, the royal knights laid down their swords. In any case, you can’t hastily touch the person in front of you right now.

Soon, Hina, accompanied by Kirie and Rachel, passed between the royal knights. And stood next to Arianne. Then, someone standing behind Arianne stepped in front of Hina and opened his mouth.

“If you don’t back down.”

– Click.

“We view this as an attack on the Kairis royal family and are responding accordingly.”

At this time, Eila, who returned as Hina’s escort, held out the magic bullet with the safety device released and said.

The knight standing in front raised his head with a stern expression. He then raised one hand and instructed the other knights standing behind him to take their hands off their swords. This is because they did not expect that someone equivalent to the royal family of Kairis would step forward so quickly and so directly.

In the end, the knights retreated to a distance of fifty paces from the mansion. He didn’t completely return to the palace, but it would be quiet until he received further instructions from Devlan.

Arianne confirmed this and turned to Hina.

“Nice to meet you. Let’s go in and say hello properly.”

Hina smiled and nodded, seeming to have already forgotten what had happened just a moment ago. After that, I moved along as the owner of the mansion, Arianne, guided me.

At that moment, Arianne, Hina Kirie, and Rachel Raijian’s private soldiers all entered the mansion and locked the door.

– Sreung…

Kirie, who had been quiet until now, drew her sword.

Aela, who was activating the magical bullet’s safety device again, stopped her hand. Gray energy gathered in Rachel’s hands.

“Hina, be careful…!”

– Ugh!

Kirie, who was trying to warn Hina, was interrupted and the sound of the air vibrating rang in everyone’s ears. Everyone heard the same thing, regardless of whether they were dealing with magic power or momentum. The ground beneath my feet didn’t shake, but the entire mansion shook.

This.

Dangerous.

– Chase deteriorates. This is Kirie.

As we arrived at the mansion as promised, Kirie hurriedly called Chase. And the contents were conveyed.

– Kugugugung….

– Kugugoong… Kugugoong…!

The sky starts to cry.

Euria’s magic powers thunder as she senses something wrong with the mansion. Purple lightning gathered together. A chilly energy fills the air somewhere inside the mansion. It was Arsene’s.

And a sandstorm arose.

That sandstorm wasn’t Euria’s or Arsene’s or Rachel’s.

“…… That wizard.”

That wizard.

A wizard who put up a silent curtain in the annex of the Secretia Royal Palace.

“No. It’s our first meeting, so if you’re that cautious.”

A wizard who can send magic to the annex of the royal palace while standing outside Rachel’s detection range, to be exact. A wizard with that level of power.

“When are you going to say hello?”

A white, short-haired female wizard who appeared to be in her mid-30s appeared as if gently landing on the huge gate of the marquis’ residence.

-……Kiri.

Calian’s voice was heard on Chase’s behalf.

It wasn’t always a relaxed voice. It was urgent. It was urgent.

– Kyrie. The 7th circle wizard is going. No one should ever come forward. Just take a moment. soon……!

“Put away the strange toys.”

The bracelet handed to me by Plantz crumbled like dry sand and was scattered in the wind. The bracelet was made of mithril, which was as hard as Kyrie’s sword. It was instantly reduced to powder.

“If you’re bored, play with me, half-elf.”

Dark red eyes, several times darker than Calian’s, looked at Kyrie. At that time, Hina’s sign language caught Kirie’s eyes.

– That wizard heart stone.

Kirie opened her mouth to answer. But no voice came out.

The air around Kirie stopped flowing.

I couldn’t breathe.

– Crumbling!

At that moment, purple lightning fell from the sky.

Lightning, shining brighter than ever before, shot straight down toward the top of the wizard’s head.

– Hwiiing!

The wind rose.

The explosion did not sound. There was no acrid smell from the lightning that struck the ground, and no wizard was hit directly by the lightning. As a gust of wind swirled around the mansion once again and disappeared, the lightning that had struck at incredible speed disappeared as if it had been erased.

Just one breeze.

With a single look from the wizard who didn’t even open his shield, Euria’s lightning disappeared.

– Slut!

Arsene’s ice spear flies in from beyond the window. A sharp spear extended at lightning speed and stopped in midair. Then it changed direction and flew back towards the direction it was thrown from.

– Quang!

The solid wall pierced by the ice spear collapsed. Through the huge crack in the wall, an ice spear was seen sticking into the thick film that had been hastily spread and disappearing.

Meanwhile, the air still stopped flowing around Kirie. Blood vessels burst from Kyrie’s black and blue eyes as she was out of breath. Kirie clenched her lips and held her breath. I broke the hand holding the sword and applied strength to endure it.

Hina, noticing the situation, took a step towards Kirie. Then, as if through Rachel’s magic, the floor she was standing on moved of its own accord and pushed Hina back.

The distance from Kirie is not getting closer.

“I was asked to hang out here for a while. It’s a bit boring.”

Adelia.

Eisen Dinahan. A wizard of the 7th Circle who disappeared from Rivern.

Adelia looked at Kyrie for a moment and spoke leisurely. Then, little by little, he moved his gaze and began to look for other possible subjects.

The gaze landed on one person whose hands were beginning to glow gold. Adelia smiled slightly and sent a small wink towards Hina.

“You’re next”

“I’m next.”

The atmosphere moves.

The wind blowing inside the mansion subsides and the air flows. The intangible force that had been blocking Kyrie’s breathing disappeared.

Kirie coughed loudly and took a deep breath. Hina rushed over and hurriedly sent healing power, and Kirie raised her hand as if it was okay and raised her head.

“What about me next? I also happened to be lonely.”

Adelia turned her head when she heard an unfamiliar voice.

The red-haired wizard, who was finally allowed to vent his anger, smiled softly at Adelia.

“Leave the young guys here alone.”

Alan Manasil has arrived.

* * *

I felt a big light blinking.

My vision went dark and I came back again and again.

My brother said that Sispanian’s blessing was so thoughtful.

I sympathized with the words of my younger brother, who was good at barking but never said anything wrong. Cispanian should have been a little less considerate.

– Kaaaang!

Like this because I couldn’t stop just one anesthetic solution.

“Ha……”

Planz took a step back. Sinastar, which had been divided into two parts, was reunited as one. It was because my right shoulder didn’t move properly.

Since he didn’t know what would happen in the future, he kept nagging me to use both hands equally. Anyway, even though Calian barks well, he never said anything wrong.

I think I had a similar thought a while ago.

Plantz slowly closed and opened his eyes, looked at the blade with a flash of red light, and then raised his arms. It’s been a long time since I gave up calculating how long I could last and not fall asleep. Without thinking, I picked up the sword and stabbed and cut.

– Drop, drop.

Nine people when Kirie left here.

Seven people when thunder struck the sky.

And now five.

As if they were waiting for Planz’s knees to buckle, they kept a reasonable distance from each other, so their numbers rarely decreased. I didn’t even know how much time had passed since the purple lightning struck in the distance.

Planz raised one corner of his mouth and swung his sword at the knights once again. I could have kept the same distance and held on, but I felt like I wouldn’t be able to overcome the drowsiness if I did that, so I continued the attack.

– Kaang!

The opposing knight quickly raised his sword and blocked Sinasta. And hit it up.

I feel pain in my right shoulder, where I put pressure on it without realizing it.

Plantz put one foot back again and let out a long breath. I opened my closed eyes and looked ahead.

I kicked my feet and ran towards them.

They couldn’t do much harm to Plantz, but they weren’t Plantz.

– Kaaaang! Kaang!

The knight, seeing the sharp, light green eyes filled with murder, blocked the attack. Plantz caught the thrown sword and swung it at the knight.

The movement was noticeably slower, but the sharpness did not change. So either cut off that knight’s head or cut his waist apart. I put my strength into my hands with the intention of reducing even just one more person.

– Percussion!

However, Planz’s sword stopped in midair.

It stopped before it could decapitate the knight or split his waist.

“came.”

Calian spoke quietly as he grabbed Plantz’s sword with his Auror-covered hand. With the knight behind your back, facing Plantz.

– Slut!

Five daggers full of red energy extend from behind Calian’s back. The ends of the daggers flew in different paths and pierced the necks of the five knights exactly.

There was the sound of something heavy falling to the floor here and there. Exactly five times. Five knights lost their breath in an instant.

You don’t have to see what happened to know it.

Plantz chuckled.

“You didn’t come too late.”

“yes.”

Planz, who was looking at Calian who answered briefly, sat down and leaned on the floor. The scent of red flowers swept over me. The scent was so strong that it made me drowsy.

“Cod. Eat.”

Calian’s red eyes turned to Plantz.

“I’ll be back. Bye.”

Plantz’s green eyes were completely closed.

Calian, who was sitting down and looking down at the boiled peas that had fallen asleep, laughed.

A day has passed.

“I’ll buy it for you. I will.”

I answered that I would buy it for him instead of that damn Daegu Serenti.
