chapter 46
46 – A creeping threat (3)
Stars are heavy.
Normally and relatively, the weight of the name star is heavy.
If you think about the mass and the value that the name star has had since long ago, it is enough for anyone to know.
I worshiped the stars, leaned on them, and made wishes on them.
The weight of the star is bound to get heavier.
and.
Coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much
Unggeomgwi began to hit all of the overwhelming mass of the star with his sword.
The sword of the Great Sword Demon cracked apart, but the sword never lost its body.
It just repeats healing and breaking.
As the refreshing and clear sound of stars filled the space, Amelia frowned and opened her mouth.
“What on earth are you doing?”
“I’ve seen many shamans like you.”
The sword begins to grow bigger.
A living sword that constantly pours the power of the stars into its stomach.
A sword that serves as a companion through the life of a star.
The history of the Big Dipper was the history of someone else’s star, and devouring a nameless star was an easy task compared to my previous life.
” Those who create an environment that is favorable to themselves and gain the upper hand in battle… Bad-hearted sorcerers who have put countless swordsmen in trouble based on barriers. “
“…What are you talking about? This is my unique magic!”
“This is a method designed to break the barrier created by those shamans.”
Damn.
Perhaps due to the influence of the power contained in the stars, the space in the snowscape that Amelia had created began to crack, albeit little by little.
Slowly, but if left as is, the gap will surely collapse.
“Anti-magic?”
“I don’t know what it is. To put it simply, I’ll tell you it’s because of the limited capacity.”
” …Volume? “
“There is a limit to the capacity of objects that a barrier can contain.”
The materialized space could be seen as part of the space created by distant classical shamans to conduct advantageous battles against monsters.
Also, the limit of the materialization barrier is determined by the total amount of the caster’s capabilities and power. If the caster is poor, the barrier can be broken by simply extracting power.
“It’s a pretty well-made barrier.”
There’s no way it can handle the mass of a star, right? After saying this, Woonggeomgwi swung his sword sharply.
Buuung!
A sword wind containing the power of the stars flies towards Amelia.
The overwhelming mass, the materialized space created by Amelia, begins to fall into pieces due to the sword’s trajectory.
“Ugh…!”
Amelia opened her eyes round and began pouring all her body’s magic into desperately trying to twist the sword wind of the Great Sword Demon.
The law says that if you don’t touch it, it will converge to zero no matter how many times you swing it.
She was called the natural enemy of prosecutors by offsetting physical attacks by converging all physical shocks and friction coming into orbit to zero.
Right now, he couldn’t handle the swordstorm created by Unggeomgwi.
“Keuuu!”
Even though blood was pouring out of his eyes and his hands were swarming with magical power, the sword wind of the Unggeomgwi showed no signs of stopping.
However, despite this, Amelia did not stop releasing her magic power.
The pride of being the best wizard in the kingdom, the honor of defeating countless armies of empires in the past.
Because he never allowed her to drop his hand.
Honor, glory, and pride.
This is the driving force that moves people, but in this situation, it is like an emotion that makes people foolish.
Defeat within the space of Guhya was bound to remain as a great shame for the wizard.
“There is no way this place, with so little history in space, can withstand such an overwhelming mass.”
” …why…! “
Amelia swallowed the last words she wanted to say.
Because she had used her magic excessively, the blood flowing from the inside filled Amelia’s throat.
“Cough…!”
Blood was flowing from the nose, mouth, and even from the eyes, causing blurred vision.
Wow!!!!!
The heavy, heavy blow of the Demon Demon eventually engulfed Amelia.
Clink!
The materialized space that Amelia had created seemed to have exhausted all its strength, and it gradually began to crack and collapse.
“…Kid, where on earth did you get that b*tch?”
” contract. “
Rasputin looked at the materialized space being destroyed in real time, as if he was surprised, and looked at the Giant Sword Demon and quenched his appetite.
It was Rasputin’s instinct to live solely on the warrior’s instinct to fight against the strong.
” contract? “
“Even if I explain it to you, you still don’t know anything about magic.”
“Well… that’s true.”
“It’s easy to think of it as ancient magic.”
“I need to know what you’re talking about.”
“There’s no need to know, it looks like it’s over in a hurry.”
Amelia’s embodied space completely collapsed, and the appearance of the dean’s office slowly began to come into view.
Unggeomgwi lifted his sword and Amelia looked at Unggeomgwi with angry eyes.
“What the hell is that woman…”
“I’m no match for you based on my life and experience, so it’s better not to fight anymore.”
“Are you making fun of me because I’m older?”
The old man got angry and scolded her for talking about her age, but Harvey paid no heed and looked at Amelia.
She, who is said to be the best wizard in the kingdom, is now sitting down after losing the match.
It was a sight not easily seen.
“…I’ll admit it, I think it was a mistake to try to evaluate your discretion like this.”
“I have to be prepared for various things to fight those guys.”
“Kwon Seong, if it’s Rasputin and that woman… we can defeat at least one elder. Are there all three members?”
“No, I’m thinking about it some more.”
“Crazy guy.”
I said earlier that I would recruit toothless demon beasts, so if they start their activities in earnest, the world will be greatly surprised.
Already, the value of the name Rasputin can make the empire move.
“So did you pass the final exam?”
“…I don’t know why you stayed here in the first place, other than passing through.”
“Because the academy is still useful.”
“Ha! You would be the first to answer by asking whether the best academy in the kingdom is just useful.”
Amelia smiled at Harvey’s words and handed him a piece of paper from the desk.
” This? “
“It is a letter of permission. To be exact, it states that we will treat you more specially, Harvey Artur.”
“If you sign here, you will be treated equally as Zera.
“On the surface, yes.”
“On the surface?”
“Aren’t you a fool recognized by the Academy? In order to gather power, you need to have a lot of trust, and you have already lost that trust.”
“doesn’t care. “
Harvey wrote his name on a piece of paper and slowly opened his mouth.
“My forces will be bound by something other than an organization based on trust.”
***************
Zera’s office.
Two men and women with impressive platinum hair and purple hair were facing each other and talking.
The topic of conversation was, of course, about Harvey.
“…Harvey started to move recently.”
” I know. “
Zera, who felt uneasy about Harvey’s actions as he had recently begun to increase his power, called Orphée separately.
“Aren’t you anxious?”
“I’m not particularly anxious.”
“…is it true that you are interested in the position of head of the family?”
Orphee just smiles at Zera’s words.
Zera frowned because he couldn’t understand the meaning behind that smile.
I thought they were clearly fighting over the position of head of the Arthur family.
Harvey is now growing in power within the academy, but what on earth is the man in front of me thinking?
If Harvey becomes the head of the family, Orphee himself will definitely be purged.
“Come to your senses, are you planning on handing over the position of head of the Artur family?”
“…I’ll take care of that. Come to think of it, I heard that Zera has recently reached a level as well. Is this because he wants to compete with my brother once again?”
“…Shut up.”
As Harvey stimulated the memories of that day, Zera glared at Orphée as if she were displeased.
For Zera, that day was a day of shame that she didn’t even want to remember.
However, as Orphee said, Zera trained endlessly to overcome the memories of that day.
I swung the sword, held it, and tried to incorporate more of the Hernández family’s sword techniques into my body.
But still.
The helplessness and trauma I felt that day did not easily go away.
“Let me tell you something.”
“…?”
“My older brother is not very interested in becoming the head of the family.”
“What is that…?”
“It seems like they’re aiming for something else… but I don’t really know what it is.”
Click.
The teacup and stand collide and make a beautiful sound.
“I don’t think he’s that kind of person.”
“…I think the concept of a person of that level is relative. The way I see my brother and the way Senior Zera sees him are bound to be different.”
“So what do you want to say?”
“Isn’t there a test coming soon?”
” …so? “
“I think it would be a good idea to approach your brother then and find out what his intentions are.”
Zera’s face turned red at Orphee’s words.
It was not a feeling of excitement but embarrassment and shame.
