Chapter 70. One animal to eighty-seven people (4)

is an abyss.

okay.

This is definitely an abyss.

Otherwise.

“Ha… this bastard… no.”

How could a mere pit be this deep?

“My brother, your uncle, was trying to dig some ground and ended up creating an abyss. He’s really talented at that.”

It is clear that it was made with the intention of causing one Sword Master to fall to his death. They brought in an earth attribute wizard, which there aren’t many in Vulcan. Or even mobilized Rachel.

No.

Who knows how he did it? What’s important is that it’s so damn deep.

As I was hanging with my gray sword stuck deep into the rock wall, I wondered where the bottom was. In fact, I wondered if there was such a thing as a floor. If I went down like this, I wondered if I would end up on the other side of the continent, where monsters with several tails as tall as a person live. Calian, who was looking down into the deepening pit, smiled with effort.

“Anyway, right from the cotyledon, it is so special. Whoever raised it really did a good job. I wonder if a baby picked up some wilted buds and grew them like that.”

Who could it be?

I wonder if there is only one more baby born that big.

“…… under.”

That was the case with Lemain, who had Slayman by his side.

My sons don’t have the courage to act as boldly as the Duke.

If Calian had heard those words, he would have felt aggrieved and his circle would have suddenly increased. Do you know that if your second son’s actions had been a little more bold, lava, an oil field, your stomach, or anything else would have exploded in this palace that Sispanian has protected? Well, it’s not that there’s any great reason, but it’s quite difficult for a rational and common sense person to understand that he wants to capture a younger brother and act as his knight. Do you know that the Kairis capital is about to change?

Loudly.

In a perfectly vertical pit that was smoothly carved with no place to step. Inside, Calian, who was clinging to the handle of a single sword and letting out only complaints instead of groans of difficulty, looked up this time.

“… What the hell is that…”

Fluffy.

A huge sphere of wind was blocking the mithril net from descending further. Although it is tightly woven, each mithril that forms the net is very thin. So, if you manifest an aura, you may be able to cut it out, although it may be difficult. Instead, it’s annoying. It was clear that even the most neatly organized hair would become a mess, so I just used magic to keep the net from falling off.

“Where did you get something like that? How much does it cost?”

You have a lot of money, my brother.

I should have asked for raw oysters instead of grilled cod.

The guy who made garden shears out of rare golden mithril, strong enough to cut through diamonds, grumbled as if he couldn’t understand the brother who saved the net made of mithril after three days.

– Percussion!

The moment the foot disappears, he rushes towards the wall, sinks his sword in, and implements magic to prevent the net from falling into the pit. Calian, who had coped well by moving around in his own way, took a deep breath and moved his body.

– Slurp!

– Chin taaaat!

The gray sword that was stuck in the wall with nowhere to step gently came out. At the same time, Kalian’s body rose above the ground. He held onto the mithril net held in the air like a handle and threw his body back with force.

Calian, who landed quietly on the clean ground without much difficulty, lifted the magic power holding up the net.

– Squeak.

– Shhh!

The huge net that has lost its support falls down again.

The loud sound of the net hitting the floor, which had been falling for a while, spread across the pit. Thanks to this, Calian once again checked the ridiculous depth of the pit and laughed.

“I’m going to be crazy. I really am.”

what. Would it be any different if it were Calian, who came out early at this time and started attacking first, leaving marks on the bodies of Balkan wizards and swordsmen?

In any case, Calian, who understood his brother’s sincerity well, moved his head a few times and relaxed his body. And, as was my habit, I flew away again in the dark.

When crossing the forest like that, with silver that couldn’t be hidden because it wasn’t covered by a black robe.

– Sweet.

I felt like I had stepped on something bad.

Calian, who was holding his sword, looked up at the sky, wondering if the earth would disappear again.

The floor did not sink.

The mithril net didn’t even fall.

– Slurp, clank.

Instead, I heard a small sound as something connected to what I had just stepped on got ready to move. It was the sound of another trap being set in motion in the darkness by someone who knew that Calian was a man who walked in the dark.

To say that he had become an animal with only instincts left was because he still had thoughts. Because Kalian still had some habits left.

I fell into the second trap.

– Slut!

– Cum, cum, cum!

A magic bullet flew in.

It wasn’t just one or two. Like rain or heavy snow. As if it were a rain of arrows that would one day fall in front of the castle walls.

“… I should have asked you to buy me some real raw oysters.”

They wouldn’t have bought all the mithril nets and all those magical bullets with the money they took out of the Vulcan vault.

– Kwaaaaang!

In fact, Bern lived without any special preferences.

Of course, I liked meat and raw oysters, but that didn’t mean I welcomed them as much as I do now. Drinking was just a habit. So there was nothing to dislike about it. Devlan was not a person whose relationship could be evaluated as unfavorable, and the pruning was… well. done.

But this life was different. There are a lot of things I dislike. If I had to choose the best among them, it would be that magic bullet.

– Ugh!

A black aura forms on the tip of a gray sword containing the remnants of a star.

– Sigh!

Bern. Knight’s Oath. Planz. Balkan. hell. Rain of arrows.

Isn’t Plantz asking whether we have time to spend emotional time immersed in memories of the past that contrast with the present? Aren’t they warning you that you will die if you continue to wander around like that?

-……Suddenly!

– Fight!

I sent a reply to that.

A sword strike as fierce and sharp as bright red lips poured out. He hit the magical bullet, which was proudly ranked as the most disliked item. Or cut it down.

The magical bullet that was flying was split in two by the sword being swung at such incredible speed that it didn’t even generate any wind.

– Kwaaaaang!

The magic bullet, which just hits the bullet without breaking it into pieces, flies far away and explodes. Calian, who protected himself with a light shield and aura, continued to swing his sword.

– Suddenly!

– Kwaang kwaaaang!

They set traps by sending water scents, digging a pit like an abyss, throwing mithril nets, and firing top-quality magical bullets. At the beginning of the battlefield, which seemed to have been a bloody war between brothers rather than a bet, Calian stood upright. And then I tapped my toes on the floor.

Talk.

I closed my eyes.

Talk.

I took another deep breath.

Took.

I remembered my closed eyes.

– Taaat!

Hit the ground with force.

Float your body. Climb up the tree in one go. And run.

Towards the very center of the forest where the real number of Plants will be prepared.

Plantz threw away the image of ‘Kallian’ that he had memorized.

* * *

You were truly amazing.

“I couldn’t even see where or how I got hit.”

The knight who said this stood up for a moment, stuck out his thumb, and fainted again. As he was hearing similar words for the fifth time, his worries disappeared and he became irritated and spoke softly.

“Move the patient.”

“Yes, Vice Commander.”

While the members and healers who were not participating in the fight were moving the patient, Plantz, who had climbed back onto Estina’s saddle, hurriedly moved to where Calian was headed.

I knew it wouldn’t help.

However, it is not a very refreshing feeling to look down at the deep sword marks carved into the straight wall inside the pit, which was abandoned as if there was not even the slightest possibility.

I wondered if I could at least reduce my strength, but it didn’t seem to have that much of an effect.

“You can’t catch it with a trap.”

How quick and perceptive are you?

Perhaps the cage containing the beef jerky would have been more useful.

… Or raw oysters soaked in sleeping pills.

Plantz laughed at an inadvertent thought and managed to turn on the smooth road. And then we entered a forest full of bushes. Because Calian was moving faster than expected, I thought that if I just kept running after Calian like this, I would end up just watching over critically ill patients like now.

– Kwaaaaang!

Just as Estina jumped over the large tree root blocking her path, a loud noise shook the forest. Estina pricked her ears once and continued moving in the direction she had been going, knowing that there were no new orders from her master.

The same was true for Plants.

There was no particular reaction to the loud noise.

– Kwaang kwaaang!

There was no worry that other people in the capital would hear about this uproar and become confused. I asked Alan to put up a silent curtain around the palace forest. Therefore, without being needlessly agitated, I continued to run towards the center of the forest.

– It looks like we’re approaching.

– Stay in formation. Don’t be scared.

– There is nothing to be afraid of, Vice Commander. It’s fun.

– … Don’t get excited.

– yes. Let’s try.

I’m not saying I will do that, I’m not saying I will try, I’m just saying I will try.

Plantz, who had once again paid attention to the pink-haired wizard who couldn’t drink milk, who had a communication ring temporarily borrowed from Alan, turned his head.

Under the brightening sky.

The rising black smoke could be seen dispersing little by little.

* * *

A large rock where Calian once sat and waited for Alan.

Calian, standing in front of him, spoke in a low voice.

“……Twenty-five.”

Just before.

Twenty Vulcan soldiers, each wearing their own pure white uniform, stood in front of Calian. No, I was blocking it.

Calian took a long breath as he looked down at the people who had each received wounds from the attack that ended in an instant. Since they were people that the 4th Circle wizard’s sleep would not work on, I knocked them out one by one.

It would be better to send out all eighty people.

As I thought about this, I ended up laughing. I realized why it was necessary to divide it into decimal numbers.

“You didn’t forget it was training.”

It’s because of Zeon’s warriors. The strength of each and every one of them is similar to that of Kalian. You can’t use 80 Vulcans to catch just one of them. So, at most, about twenty people. They would have thought that only if they could capture Calian with that number of people would they be able to fight in real combat.

– Ugh, wow, wow…

The gray sword that cut the three-layered shield like pieces of paper let out a heavy cry. The four wizards who sliced through the shield at the same time quickly teleported away and escaped, but one of Calian’s leaps pierced his ankle and left him unconscious. The five knights formed a formation surrounding them and charged at them as if they would not give them a chance to escape. As soon as they fell, the ten remaining knights immediately filled the empty space and continued to attack.

He shook off the sword that was covered in everyone’s blood once again.

That was when the hot droplets that did not spread fell from Calian’s sword to the floor.

– It’s a bit tricky…!

– Boom!

As soon as it was cast, a single bolt of lightning reached its destination and was blocked by Calian’s sword.

In order to prevent the energy of lightning from reaching those who were lying down and sleeping, a wide shield was spread out to prevent the electric current contained in the lightning from traveling up to the hands, and the dark blue lightning that bounced off the sword stretched into the sky and disappeared.

Calian’s eyes narrowed at the attack that seemed to be faster than Calian’s usual movements.

– Kwaaak!

It’s a familiar magic power.

However, he did not show any joy when he found out who the owner of the magical power was. Instead of greeting him, he took a leap with enough force to create a deep dent in the ground he stood on.

-…… Piing!

A wide leap in scope that has never been seen before.

The person who jumped high as if he was going to shorten the distance of tens of meters with a single step turned his back to the dark sky. A silver line appeared in the sky. It struck me sharply as if I had become a sword.

– Ugh!

– Ugh, wow!

– Ugh!

Three shields unfold, each with the same number as before.

– Pajijik pajik!

But this time was different.

The sharp sparks covering the shield were threatening Calian with a strong spark.

‘Twenty-five.’

The number increased by five.

The sword falling towards the round sphere rising from the ground counted its opponents. He stretched out his sword. Put an aura on the tip of your sword.

– Whirr!

-Ssam! Kuaaaaang!

– Kwaang kwagwagwang!

Lightning so bright that it was difficult to open one’s eyes continued to extend towards Calian. With the sword, with the hand, and with the muscles inside, it strikes at an incredible speed as if it were going to burn up all the tissue deeper inside.

The shield that Calian had been protecting himself with burned away with the power of lightning. Instead of unfolding the shield again, Calian created a blade-like whirlwind of wind and wrapped it around his body. Then, it landed in front of the opponent at the same speed it had fallen.

– Coooooo!

The surrounding earth is shaking. The attack continues as if it had been waiting. Instead of the knights who could not break through the whirlwind of wind, all the attacks of the seven wizards were aimed at Calian.

Calian raised his sword.

I blew away all the water pouring towards me. He jumped over the vortex of flames and swung his sword towards the wrist of the wizard standing on the other side. The wizard teleports. Instead, five knights intervened and surrounded Calian. Calian’s sword cut through the three-layer shield in front of the knights. Lightning strikes Kalian’s back once again. Calian’s newly unfolded shield blocked it.

Condensed the energy of the wind.

It exploded beneath the knights’ feet. Calian, who had made long cuts on the necks of the three fallen knights, followed one of the wizards who had been pushed far away by the aftermath of the explosion. He then stepped on the wizard’s neck and knocked him out.

– Hiss!

– Slut! Kaga River!

– Kwagwang kwaaaaang!

Leap again. He let out a shower of sword strikes and extended his aura. He broke the shield and cut open the chest of the knight inside. I split the re-created shield once more, leaving the knight rushing to fill the empty space. Block the extending sword. Move your feet. He jumps on top of the knights’ heads and plunges his long sword into the shoulder of the wizard who was protected between them.

– Kwasik!

Calian pulled out his sword, inflicting a deep wound in a place that would not kill him or leave any aftereffects, but would still hurt.

– Pajijik!

Lightning extends out.

Lightning finally touched Calian’s sword. A streak of lightning travels up the Star Sword and reaches towards Calian’s hand.

In an instant, Calian turned the handle upside down and threw the lightning-struck sword at the two knights blocking his path.

– Easy profit!

– Kwasik!

In a split second where you couldn’t even blink, the two knights fell down, clutching their legs. The power of lightning was controlled with the intention of stiffening Calian’s muscles. The power of the sword electrocuted the two knights one after another.

– Jump and jump.

Calian slowly walked towards the knight and drew his sword.

One crash.

During that time, which was barely enough to take a single breath, the number of people decreased by eight. They may or may not know that they have held out longer than the previous group.

– Ja-bak, jap-a-bak.

Footsteps lighter than Calian’s came to the front of the remaining members. The wizard stepped forward and stretched out his hands as if to block everyone. Lightning energy darker than the deep sea began to condense in the wizard’s hands facing the floor. Calian, who couldn’t wait for that, kicked his foot again. At the same time, a trail of lightning stretched out from the wizard’s hand and fiercely chased Calian’s afterimage.

– Kwaaaaang!

Calian swung his sword.

Due to the strong and fast blow, the lightning bounced off the sword and fell onto the shield protecting the knights.

The wizard frowned when he realized that the lightning he shot destroyed the party’s shield. Yet the wizard, who had finished calculating without stopping, once again shot out a sphere of lightning.

Calian’s steps heading towards the knights stopped.

He took his eyes off the knights and turned towards the wizard, who continued to send annoying attacks.

“……Lord Zeia.”

An unfamiliar, low-pitched voice.

Instead of answering, the wizard gathered magical power once again.

no.

I was going to do that.

Calian, who showed a long, split smile with his pure white fangs fully exposed, raised his sword.

“Slow.”

A blue-silver beast crashes down on Needlen’s head.
