chapter 77
77 – Sword Master
Unlike those whose bodies were burned to ashes, Jack used magic to protect himself, but his breath attack exceeded expectations and broke through his shield. Burned Jack’s body.
-‘… ….’
Fenia couldn’t feel the death of Jack, who had been laughing and using magic until a while ago.
She denied reality and wished it was all a dream, but this terrible dream could not be woken up.
-Kooooo!
As if proving that it was not a dream in the sky, the dragon that killed the disciple howls.
Looking at her with her dead eyes, Fenia pressed her lips hard.
Dude. Pop.
Red blood dripped from her mouth.
And Fenia’s hand holding her wand began to tremble.
It wasn’t the first time seeing a dead body.
She had seen the bodies of those who had been ravaged by bandits, and had seen her body exploded with her magic.
But they are all men who have nothing to do with her.
Although she has felt pity for the dead, she has never shed tears over the corpse of someone she has no ties to.
However, the one who is currently in her arms was Fenia’s only disciple and family.
Dude. Pop.
Transparent drops of water fall to the floor along with the blood dripping from her mouth.
With eyes full of veins, Fenia glared at the guy who was about to breathe again, as if he was still lacking.
I can’t even begin to use ordinary magic to deal with him.
She already has no survivors besides herself.
So while Fenia could use it, she started casting ancient magic that she hadn’t used before.
A hot magical power rises from her body like lava.
It’s just magical power, but it’s hard enough to get close to it.
A gigantic magic spell begins to be engraved at a higher place than the dragon floating high in the sky.
Did you notice that the magic was unusual?
It was at that moment that the dragon opened her eyes and tried to use her magic against her to interrupt her magic of Fenia.
Taat-
Contrary to what I thought there would be no one left alive, a man who was still alive jumped at the dragon.
Almost burned by the guy’s attack, but the blue hair blowing in the wind. And a blue aura similar to his hair color was wrapped around the sword.
And Fenia also knew the owner of the sword.
Aaron Period. Like the great wizard Penia, he was the only sword master on the continent.
I couldn’t block the guy’s attack, so my body couldn’t move as usual, but my reputation as a sword master slashed the dragon’s face with a heavy sword.
Close up!
Huge knife marks were carved on the face of the guy who hadn’t even been scratched by others’ attacks.
Kieee-!!
He screams in pain.
The guy with his eyes wide open turned his gaze from Penia to Aaron.
Then he swung his huge face at the falling Aaron.
He should have easily dodged this kind of attack, but her body did not move easily from the previous attack.
In the end, Aaron’s body, hit at a right angle by the attack, fell to the ground.
Kwagwagwagwang-!
It broke like a spider’s web on the floor.
Then he fell to the floor coughing up dark red blood.
The breath leaking out of his mouth looked as if it would stop at any moment.
He had to stop the magic immediately and help him, but Aaron looked at Fenia as if he were reading her thoughts and shook his head slowly.
Fenia nodded her head silently at that figure and turned her head to finish her final casting.
Then, as many as twelve magic spells were created in the sky, and Penia memorized a chant while looking at the enemy who killed her pupil.
-‘… Meteor.’
It was a cold voice, but the huge fireball falling from the sky was hot enough to melt the whole world.
And the huge fireball fell towards him at the speed of lightning.
Kwagwagwagwagwagwang-!!
With a huge explosion, the impact caused an earthquake and the ground shook greatly.
Those who watched from a distance to avoid being caught in the blast rolled on the floor in the wind.
It was only after the shaking stopped and started slowly, and the dust started to die down that they could see it.
A dragon that is still alive after being hit by her magic.
But he was barely breathing, and with half of his face melted, he didn’t look like he could fight anymore.
As everyone stared blankly at the dragon with its mouth shut and its head lowered, a loud voice came from below.
-‘Seal it quickly!’
Everyone regained their senses when they saw Fenia, who could still speak her language even after using enough magic to make the dragon incapable of battle.
And quickly command the living wizards.
-‘Seal it so that it doesn’t rampage any more!’
-‘Yes!’
After that, the remaining wizards succeeded in sealing the dragon, and began to subdue the warlocks who summoned it.
More people died than expected, but thanks to the quick suppression, no major damage occurred to civilians.
But Fenia wasn’t happy at all, even though she was given the great honor of defeating a dragon.
How can I be happy when a disciple who is like my only family has lost his life?
As she was staring at the body of her dead disciple in a daze, she heard the voices of knights in her ears.
-‘Conquer all the warlocks! Make sure no one escapes!’
As the knight who appears to be the leader shouts, his other knights begin to catch the fleeing warlocks.
And Fenia, who was watching that scene, remembered something she had read in a book a long time ago.
– In black magic, there is magic that can bring the dead back to life.
Of many books and countless sentences, only that sentence came to her mind.
Then he turns his head and looks at the dead disciple and the fleeing black magician crossing each other.
-‘… I have to save him.’
After finishing her thoughts, Fenia used teleportation magic while watching the warlocks who had already fled far away.
In an instant, Fenia narrowed the distance with them and tightly gripped the fleeing warlock’s neck.
-‘Heuk!’
Those who only study black magic underground couldn’t train their bodies.
Her lightly subdued guy groans and struggles with her, but she can’t do anything.
Fenia looked at the warlock with cold eyes that she couldn’t believe were human eyes. She
She was the one who killed the disciple, so she wanted to tear her to pieces right away, but in order to save the disciple, she couldn’t kill her yet.
-‘I heard you guys have a way to bring the dead back to life. It’s true?’
-‘Gee, it’s real…… ! Please save my life…… !’
Fenia’s eyes trembled at the words of the warlock that she could save her apprentice.
She then released her power that was holding him back.
-‘…… Guide me.’
The warlock vomited her long cough and hurriedly got up from her seat and led her to his laboratory.
-‘This is my lab… ….’
Fenia, who came to the warlock’s laboratory for the first time, distorted her face.
The corpses of humans, not the corpses of beasts or monsters, were being used for research.
I wanted to blow up this laboratory right away, but she had no choice but to persevere in order to bring her students back to life.
-‘This is the book the wizard is looking for.’
Receiving the black book from her old safe, Fenia immediately opened it and checked its contents.
She was full of complicated magic and hard-to-find materials, but she was the Great Wizard Fenia.
With her talent and money enough, she was confident that she would succeed in this magic.
Watching Fenia cover her book, the warlock swallowed her dry saliva. And towards her, she asks carefully.
-‘Now, as you promised, get out of the lab… ….’
The warlock’s words suddenly cut off in the middle.
And puck. With a sound, his head exploded and bounced in all directions.
Who the hell would listen to the man who killed his family?
After taking her books, Fenia didn’t look back, and after burning down her laboratory, she moved to her own laboratory.
When she arrived at the lab, Fenia looked at her student who had stopped breathing.
-‘I have to bring it back to life somehow.’
Determined to revive her student, Fenia closed the lab.
And the door to the lab was not opened for several years.
The magic spell to revive the dead was not that difficult.
I also had money saved up for rare materials, so I could get them easily.
But she continued to fail for several years, and as a side effect, she was cursed with a younger age.
Even so, Fenia didn’t care about her own body, so she continued her research.
Five years and ten years passed like that, and after decades of trial and error, Fenia succeeded in magic that could bring the dead back to life.
-‘De, finally… ….’
Her hands tremble, and her heart starts beating fast.
She used the magic on her apprentice, which she carefully preserved with freezing magic.
-‘Wake up.’
With her chant, the black magic power of black magic rises from Fenia’s body and begins to dwell in the disciple’s body.
Then, as if praying, Fenia’s eyes widened as she watched with her trembling eyes.
She was the reason why the pupil’s eyes were opened, which she thought would never be opened again.
-‘… ….’
But her joy was short-lived, and Fenia had no choice but to distort her face again.
The disciple moved his body naturally as if he had come back to life, but for some reason his eyes couldn’t focus.
A heart that doesn’t beat.
Cool body.
Unfocused eyes that show no emotion whatsoever.
Undead.
The disciple did not come back to life.
His soul no longer remained in his body, only his body moved like a puppet.
Puffed up.
Fenia sat down on the floor in despair.
She was shocked that there was no way to revive Jack, rather than the fact that the magic she had prepared for decades had failed.
It wasn’t that she didn’t make her guess either.
But she only had doubts, but she couldn’t stop researching.
I blankly looked at the corpse of my disciple.
The disciple, who had been preserved intact for several years by freezing magic, looked very painful.
In the end, Fenia canceled the freezing magic she had cast on her apprentice.
She and she buried the disciple in the most expensive grave in the South so that his body could rest in peace.
Looking at Jack’s grave for the last time, Fenia turned her head.
She couldn’t mourn the death of her student until when.
The money I had saved so far was also spent during the research.
From now on, if you continue to live a busy life as a master mage, fulfilling requests or accepting disciples, the death of the disciple will be forgotten little by little.
Thinking so, Fenia reappeared after decades of absence.
Penia started earning money by accepting various requests, and taught magic to the emperor’s children.
The emperor’s children were very talented in magic.
It was like a talent he saw in his childhood.
However, no matter how talented I was, for some reason I felt that something was lacking.
It wasn’t that he lacked magical talent.
But in her eyes, the emperor’s children were not satisfied.
Eventually, having given up teaching her children, Fenia moved her feet south to her lab to take a break.
And while she was walking down a quiet southern street at night, she heard the voices of children who didn’t go well with the late hour.
Fenia turned her head to check where her voice was coming from.
A boy who looked like a nobleman and a girl who looked like a maid were laughing and playing in the large garden of a huge mansion.
Normally, she would have passed by with a light smile, but Fenia couldn’t take her eyes off the boy in front of her.
Clear eyes that don’t seem to care at all about status, such as commoners and nobles.
Black hair gently blowing in the late autumn wind.
Its appearance reminded me of the dead Jack.
Fenia, as if she was unconsciously possessed by something of her own, she moved her feet into the garden and approached the child who was playing happily and she asked her name.
-‘… Little boy What is your name?’
It was trespassing for someone else to enter the garden, but the boy smiled and gave his name.
-‘Rail Bioland.’
That was the first meeting between Fenia and Rail, whom Rail didn’t remember.
