8. I stand in the wilderness.(3)
getting closer
Emotions that had been dry boil strangely.
But more than that.
it gets cold
Freezing.
… infinitely.

Like a ripple on a calm lake.
The stillness breaks.
“Kariel.”
A fiercely hardened face.
amazingly.
… As usual.
“What were you doing here?”
… … .
“Your Highness will bury you!”
“You showed me a trick, so you think the world belongs to you?”
“I guess he believes in Lord Rueld… .”
“stop.”
The prince raised his hand to restrain his subordinates.
“… … .”
even this.
usual development.
“Don’t make me say it twice. What were you doing here?”
“… … .”
“This bastard is all the way!”
was waiting
“… … ?”
Alexius wondered if he had heard something wrong.
what?
what are you waiting for
“Human malice often shows extraordinary drive for profit and pleasure.”
I start babbling out of nowhere.
“what?”
Just as the prince was about to say a word.
“The process of the strong persecuting the weak and reaffirming their position is the greatest pleasure that the powerful can enjoy.”
So.
“I understand everything in my head, so I don’t bother blaming you.”
“What is this bastard saying now… .”
In an instant, his head turned.
dump!
… … .
… … ?
“??”
Alexius had no choice but to think seriously for a while about why he was lying on the floor.
Tinnitus rings.
My vision was shaking, and there was only a clear feeling that something was tingling.
Still, the situation was seldom understood.
Me, Your Highness?!
Is this bastard crazy all of a sudden?!
You, do you know what you’ve done?!
What are you doing?!
Like a sound echoing from afar, a scream and a startled voice spread out.
A time of only a few seconds.
As the sensation gradually becomes clearer.
The situation was readily recognized.
“… … ?”
hit?
me?
That sloppy bastard… me?
in the first place.
… Is there no reason for me to be beaten?
It’s very unusual for that idiot to have used violence before.
In the first place, to the point where I was hit by something like that and landed on the floor.
… Alexius was not such a clumsy person.
Even if it wasn’t swordsmanship, it was even melee combat.
He had no rivals in the same grade in the academy, and even looking back at the previous grade, even he was one of the best.
Not to mention holding a sword.
where is the sword
Even the magic he learned at the level of culture, he was able to use and use it more than a moderate magic student.
Does the theory fall short just because practicality is so?
Not at all.
Rather, it is the main specialty.
However, whether it suits your aptitude or not.
He had to excel at everything.
That is the lineage that even blue bloods fear.
Because it is the duty of the golden line.
whether the blood is blue or red.
It’s the same with packs of wild animals and humans that will rush at you if you can.
Power is anything that comes from overwhelming power.
It’s just a symbol, so legitimacy only takes on meaning right after you’ve acquired power.
therefore.
You shouldn’t show yourself this kind of ugliness.
I couldn’t help it.
Unlucky.
The situation was too unfavorable.
An excuse like this will not be a consolation under any circumstance.
It’s not reasonable.
Not appropriate.
“Keugh!”
But.
Are you shocked by being knocked down? So fall into a state of non-recovery?
This is a vice that deserves to be despised beyond ugliness.
“You dare… !”
It’s only been a few seconds.
why.
… Except for the one who had just woken up, the rest of them were all spread out on the library floor.
“Hee!”
Except for the one who supported the prince’s body.
Those who had obvious hostility towards him and were willing to commit hostile acts.
No one was standing normally.
“Come on.”
“… You guys have been very crazy.”
Inside the library, where you should be quiet.
The commotion that arose out of nowhere attracted all the attention of a few people.
Normally, I would have moved.
What would you do next?
This situation was not initiated by Alessius himself.
Even shocking.
No, it’s shocking to consider this shocking.
It was over there that I used my hand first.
Kariel.
‘Did you mean that you have no intention of paying attention?’
Ugliness leads directly to the disgrace of our parents.
you or me
… You should know that better than anyone.
“Never mind.”
no clogging
The guy approached calmly.
“Isn’t it okay if you die if you make a mistake?”
what… ?
“Even if you’re crazy, you’re still crazy!”
Let’s shout and swing our fists reflexively.
Hit it with your forearm.
No, that’s not the end.
I held on to the arm that had been cut off.
“Ugh?!”
Momentarily using mana to strengthen the body, increase muscle strength, and sharpen the senses.
‘What?!’
It was released.
As if they were forcibly dismantled, everything went out of order.
“Keugh!”
His head was forcibly bent.
A series of lightly punched right fists.
It was a blow that was only a check, but when even this entered the optimal strike line, my eyes naturally felt cold.
However.
‘I’m weak.’
As expected, this weakling’s clumsy blow, which cannot be strengthened, can cause embarrassment.
‘That’s all!’
However, if there is something that Alexius overlooked.
That weak bone subdued and neutralized his subordinates.
He had a fever in his head, and, unlike usual, he couldn’t figure it out.
I tried to use my mana again to shake off my right arm that was being held by him.
‘――?’
Misunderstanding, it wasn’t.
At that moment, the world turned upside down once again.
“Keugh!”
With a crackling sound, Alessius’ body was thrown, like an ax falling vertically, tore the library desk in half.
Alexius twisted his back as if convulsed by the shock.
“You are… young… go!”
“Stand up.”
You still have a lot of conversation left to do.
“Coke! what? Conversation?”
This madman… Come now, what nonsense!
“ah.”
there again.
It seems that you have attained some enlightenment.
Kariel stood still and looked up into the air.
Even that.
“You forgot. It only happened this morning.”
“Coke! My, I won’t leave you alone… .”
“Stand up.”
Kariel stood still, watching Alessius’ ugly struggle.
“Adults will pass it off as kids fighting, but maybe me or you, we’ve already crossed the river too far.”
Even if you change your position later.
“Now I am in no position to do that.”
“Very elated?! With what you’ve gotten by one odd number! They gave me a shot! uh?! Do you feel like you have it all?!”
“From before.”
Kariel asked with nonchalant eyes.
“What nonsense do you keep talking about?”
“you! Are you saying that?! you! Something like you!”
“Stop barking.”
approaching slowly
Moderately crossing and avoiding the scattered fragments of the desk.
“There is no next chance.”
“Next chance?!”
“If you fall to the floor this time, prepare yourself.”
“This crazy bastard is all the way?!”
Let’s use the mana accumulated in the heart through arcane breathing.
As if everything from earlier had been a lie, vitality began to radiate throughout her body.
‘I wasn’t careless.’
cold like a lie
Someone used to say that this particular tendency was a character flaw.
‘Isn’t this also enough if I use it appropriately?’
Obama, His Majesty said so.
In addition.
Don’t regret what you have, and don’t envy what you don’t have.
Isn’t that what His Majesty said?
When the boiling emotions were not enough to cool down, the invisible things quickly spread through the clever brain.
‘If it touches, mana is scattered.’
I don’t know what kind of trick you’re doing.
But if that’s all, isn’t it enough if you don’t reach it?
… By the way.
More than I could have imagined, there was no extraneousness in his movements.
No, it’s an illusion.
The clumps overflowed.
It’s just that it was strangely difficult to deal with.
It’s not like I didn’t see it.
It’s not like I was agile or nimble enough to be unaware.
‘The movement was concise.’
something that happened some time ago.
It’s humiliating, but there’s no way I can’t remember it.
Looking back, I couldn’t find anything special even after washing my eyes.
Anyway, it’s the same whether you have limbs or bodies.
Is this also a mana management vision?
But, wouldn’t that make even more sense?
‘What harmony do you mean?’
Now, it is a distance that can be reached with an outstretched arm.
Alessius instinctively bit his body to increase the distance.
there again.
It exploded.
‘This, me! I, I backed away in fear of him?!’
to a guy like that?
this body?!
Alexius had no choice but to admit it.
also i am
no way
When I see you… I can’t contain myself coldly.
‘Everything, you brought it on yourself.’
had an obsession
The other side must have made up their mind and worked this way.
So, all of this is self-defense.
Hence the reason why he refuses.
The reason to take a hand measure.
In short, there will be none!
Alessius threw himself at a speed that exceeded that of retreating.
The world goes by fast, but Kariel only watches from afar as she rushes as if it has stopped.
‘Yes, I’ll admit it.’
I am always and now
you… !
… … .
so again
The world turned upside down.
“… … ?!”
A strong impact hit the back and waist.
No, it’s the other way around.
Because my body, my entire body, was slammed to the ground.
“Heuk!”
like a lie
The body, which had been overflowing with vitality, became as vulnerable as that of the sick.
“eww… Ugh?”
When were you caught?
In an instant, the heat that filled my brain fell to the cold spot because it couldn’t cool down.
Shortness of breath accompanied by pain.
Mentally, my emotions were shaking and seething with bewilderment.
On the contrary, reason was cold beyond measure.
As if he were recognizing himself from a third person’s point of view.
‘Did he hold onto his arm?’
And, it was handed over.
“Kuk!”
More than anything.
Still, the situation was not over.
Kariel climbed on top of her chest as if breaking the arm she was holding.
Wood deok!
“?!”
shoulder pulled
A very intentional ploy.
However, Alessius did not grow weak enough to pour out his screams just like this.
But just because the pain is familiar doesn’t mean it’s not painful.
“You warned me.”
when you fall to the floor
“Be prepared.”
“What—?!”
Kariel, who got on board, struck down her fist.
Fuck!
“?!”
I raised my healthy left arm to block it.
I almost screamed at the feeling of weight pressing deep into my arm joints.
Fuck!
‘A knee?!’
there again.
Wood deok!
“?!”
After punching him in the face, he suddenly changed his posture and pulled out his left arm and shoulder this time.
The joint was missing, but from the outside it looked like there was no problem.
For the person whose arms were incapacitated in an instant, there would have been no such fear.
“already-!”
Fuck!
“friend-!”
Fuck!
“bloke-!”
Fuck!
“this?!”
Fuck!
When I disabled both arms, Kariel, who climbed onto my chest again, struck me down with a series of fists.
Fuck!
“you!”
Fuck!
“Even so!”
Fuck!
“All right—!”
Fuck!
“line-!”
Fuck!
“cozy… .”
Suddenly, Alexius’ body turned over.
‘What?!’
It’s scary to feel the weight on your back.
Fuck!
The face part sat down on the floor.
Exactly from the side.
Shocks were delivered periodically.
‘This bastard is real!’
“ぅ!”
The face is forcibly removed from the ground.
Disorganized and messed up, holding onto the catch violently.
“Be patient.”
I’ve been patient for a long time too.
“This is your turn.”
Fuck!
Riding on his back, holding onto his hair.
punches in the face
Fuck!
Fuck!
puck!
“Hey!”
“What, what happened?”
“Crazy… Crazy baby! that! How are you going to fix things!”
“Go, dare to tell Your Highness—this, this! Is this a bar, a woman, a reverse mother? Bar, treason?!”
What are people talking about around you?
find out something
I’m in a hole.
therefore.
How did you get out of the pit?
it’s useless for anything
After all, I have to bring the guys who pushed me there.
And, I will push you into the abyss I fell into.
until then.
Reality, face, future, happiness, dreams, whatever.
something that everyone knows
I just need revenge.
“It’s a skirmish, so I won’t kill you.”
now just
“Be patient.”
As if I had no choice but to endure it.
As if I had barely endured it with my body shuddering.
“We are destined to live under one sky.”
He swung his fist.
Kwajik!
continue.
Kwajik!
continue.
Kwajik-!
Continue.
Kwajik-!
