ALL NOVEL chapter 74
74. Night sea
Yuma’s party, including the Byakuya clan, and the Mulen clan all returned to the island aboard the Silviria.
‘I’m so tired.’
After saying hello to his companions, Yuma immediately fell asleep.
And after falling into a very deep sleep, I opened my eyes again.
As was the case up to this point, the morning after killing a strong being was filled with status windows.
[I have achieved an achievement that far exceeds my capabilities.]
[Rewards will be granted!]
[Growth potential does not exist.]
[Status increases as a reward for achievements achieved.]
[Name: Yuma
Lv.100
Tendency: Good Personality Trait: Cool-headed
Strength: 110 Stamina: 125 Defense: 110 Agility: 130 Growth Potential: 0
Status: Ordinary person – You can escape from being an ordinary person by upgrading your physical status to transcendent level.]
Level 20 has risen. Stats also increased by 20 overall.
Even so, it still seems to be the strength of a beginner Sword Master.
‘We must escape the criminal.’
Only then will you be able to properly use the stats you have raised through this achievement.
‘Because we have to prepare for something that is not guaranteed to happen.’
I didn’t know when the moment would come when I couldn’t use ＜Paring＞.
The enemies he is facing now are gods.
Escape from the criminal. I had to build up my energy by learning swordsmanship.
[All statuses that can be obtained through achievement achievements have been obtained.]
It seemed that the maximum level that could be achieved as an achievement reward was 100.
Now, in order to achieve physical growth, it meant that one had to break away from being a criminal.
The notification sound continued.
It seemed like he had acquired some skills.
New!
[Ultra Concentration─Move (沒我): This is an evolved skill of the existing ‘Ultra Concentration’ skill. You can penetrate the essence of even the fleeting moments and quickly passing things.]
New!
[Eccentric: It is a mental barrier type passive skill. Demon, mental type magic, mental type power. It is not affected by anything.]
Originally, ＜Jongwi＞ also had the power of a mental barrier. ＜Nobility＞ alone would have been enough to withstand mental magic.
‘Is it because of the appearance of God?’
The status window seemed to say so.
You don’t have to worry about your body being consumed by God.
Originally, the notification should have ended like this.
However, a few more sentences appeared before Yuma’s eyes.
[We have eliminated the evil spirits. Your path is not wrong. Believe in yourself.]
… This b*stard wants to be treated again.
[Escape from being a criminal. At that moment, we will be able to face each other fully.]
Removal of the eight axes.
This guy was very clear about what he wanted, and he didn’t seem to have any intention of revealing his identity easily.
‘The criminal escapes.’
I was planning on doing it anyway. I had to do everything I could to prepare for an emergency.
After gathering his thoughts, Yuma slowly stood up.
The overriding goal of forming a federation of the Fishmen was achieved.
So, there was no business left in Mullen’s sea.
‘But I guess I’ll have to leave in about four days.’
stabilization.
I wanted to watch Mullen’s land become more stable.
And because this was an environment where Clone and Belle could grow, which were not given to them very easily.
Jerk─
As Yuma opened the tent and stepped out, everyone’s eyes were focused on Yuma.
Yuma felt that their gaze was quite unusual.
Looks of awe.
Well, from their point of view, they were the ones who killed the one who had oppressed them for several months in one fell swoop.
Also, it is the being that split the sea.
Yuma walked towards the sea.
Unlike yesterday, numerous Mullen tribes were seen moving forward in the sea.
Glimpse!
Yuma could see a small fishman boy and girl standing behind a huge tree, staring intently at him.
“what.”
The boy opened his mouth at Yuma’s quiet words.
“What do we do!”
“What should I do, give it to me!”
When the girl tapped her shoulder, the boy walked towards her.
“Thank you, God of War!”
The boy put his hands together and held out something.
It was a bracelet made of small conch shells that looked a combination of pink and purple, meticulously woven together.
“thanks.”
The boy immediately put the bracelet that Yuma had received on his left wrist and disappeared with a bright smile as if he were proud.
Yuma approached the sea.
chuck-
Yuma looked at the man standing next to him.
It was Yerkur, the king of the Mulen tribe.
Yerkur opened his mouth while looking at the sea.
“Grand Duke Yuma. Thanks to you, Mulen can fully dominate the ocean again.”
Reconstruction of the sea.
The Mullen tribe was slowly reclaiming the sea that Leviathan had been devouring with his men.
“The Atlantis you mentioned in the beginning. Let’s take this opportunity to relive the scenery from that legend.”
Yerkur, who would have turned 260 years old this year, had a very motivated face.
“Thank goodness.”
Yuma looked at Clone and Tisha who were training hard in the sea on the left.
It was Tisha who helped Clone create the Mulen tribe’s mana circuit until it was completely converted. Since Clone was now quite flexible in using magic using the sea, Tisha also stood face to face and practiced her own magic.
Yerkur looked at Tisha, who was training face to face with Clone, with a proud look on her face.
“At first, I thought your subordinate was motivated by my daughter to begin training. Now, it seems to be the opposite.”
Yerkur looked at Yuma and continued speaking.
“What do you plan to do now? Do you plan to return to the Astes Empire?”
“That’s right. After seeing the situation settled, I plan to leave in four days.”
Yuma’s eyes also looked directly at Clone and Tisha.
“You rarely have the opportunity to practice like this.”
Yerkur nodded his head slowly.
“That’s right. It’s not a fortune that comes often to meet such an equal competitor.”
For some reason, Yerkur looked at Yuma intently and continued speaking.
“You will not be angry with anyone in this sea.”
Yuma couldn’t help but think to himself, why is this old man like this?
From Yerkur’s perspective, it was natural that Yuma was seen as a martial god who far surpassed the power of a demigod.
Yerkur turned his head, looked back at where Clone and Tysha were, and continued speaking.
“Tisha. I don’t mind taking you with me if you think it’s useful. The same goes for anyone else.”
Yuma had a strange look in his eyes.
A 5th circle wizard like Clone.
It was enough power to be useful. Unlike humans, who are in a similar line as the Miao and Lion tribes, who can be said to be the worst race in terms of magical growth, the Fishman tribe allows for easier growth.
‘A colleague who can grow side by side.’
If Clone could become that kind of companion, it was worth taking him with him.
The night was deep.
Yuma felt that the number of fish people on the island had decreased significantly.
Probably, as the sea has become safer, most of the fish people go into the deep sea to sleep.
“Why are you still doing it?”
Clone was still practicing magic by waving his hands in the sea. Tisha looked like she had gone into the sea.
“Ah, Yuma-sama.”
Clone turned his head and looked at Yuma.
Clone smiled brightly.
“I think the sea is a better place than I thought.”
A blue stream of water rippled behind Clone’s back.
“I am thankful that the magic takes its form as I say.”
… Isn’t that just because you are a superior genius?
In the first place, the sea would not respond so well to the call of magical power.
Yuma couldn’t bear to put that fact into Clone’s brightly smiling face.
Clone continued.
“This race is really peaceful. Even when they were oppressed by such monsters. The bond of trust in each other is amazing. I also met Tysha’s mother. She was very bright.”
Clone’s golden eyes captured the sea at night.
Yuma felt a faint sense of longing in Clone’s words.
“Let’s walk for a while.”
Clone smiled brightly.
“I guess so.”
Sabak… Sabak…
Yuma and Clone walked barefoot on the sandy beach. Two people’s footprints were engraved side by side in the sand.
“There are still a lot of things I don’t know about you.”
Clone thought Yuma’s words were quite surprising.
Because I didn’t think Yuma needed to know about me.
‘I want to know more about Yuma.’
Sabak…
The sand was soft. Yuma continued.
“Tell me your story. Something about your mother.”
Witch.
Yuma only knew that Clone’s mother was a witch.
Asking about him in detail could have hurt me even more.
But now he was a colleague who had been with me for quite a long time. And a colleague with whom I will spend a lot of time together in the future.
Clone looked at the sky. The quiet night scenery.
“She was not a victim of an unfair witch hunt. She was clearly a witch. My mother.”
He was not a victim of a false witch hunt.
Achieved the 7th circle. A wizard worthy of the name Grand Wizard.
“My father was also a wizard. Of the 4th circle. He was close to a scholar. He studied all kinds of magic. Elemental magic, magic engineering… and even black magic. Anything that could satisfy his interest in magic, No matter how far it was, I dipped my toes into it little by little. Of course, the people around me didn’t seem to know that.”
Clone and Yuma continued walking along the sandy beach.
“But, it looks like my father learned something he shouldn’t have known. That the lord of the Blue Magic Tower in Wallen, the magic city where my father worked at the time, was moving under orders from the lich. My father noticed. The lich also noticed it. “I threw it away.”
rich.
This means that he is a wizard of at least 8 circles.
“So my father was killed by that lich. Eleven years ago.”
4 years old.
Clone recalled that it was when he was 4 years old.
My father said he recorded it all. He said that her mother, Vines, was the only one who saw the record book made up of mana and read it.
“Similarly, my mother, who was a free wizard in Wallen, took me with her and ran away. And she didn’t teach me magic because she was afraid that my father would track me down with black magic through my father’s blood. That’s how I lived in hiding.”
He said he lived a normal life like that for six years.
“When I was 10 years old, 5 years ago now. That lich named Lemos didn’t give up for 6 years. Eventually, he found his place through my father’s blood. He tried to kill me and my mother. cast.”
They are the only people who know their identity.
From the perspective of a lich who had the power of force by sacrificing his personality, there was obviously no reason to keep him alive.
“Even the knights of the empire came with us. Close to a thousand… They probably lied about my mother being a witch, using the traces of my father’s mastery of black magic as evidence.”
Vines had to face numerous opponents alone.
“In order to deal with Lemos, my mother turned to black magic. My father had studied it. It was a black magic that involved sacrificing one’s life force and one’s talents. It was a black magic that gained power greater than the power of one’s own body.”
Black salt.
The title was complete at that moment.
Vineth, who originally had superior skills in the flame type of elemental magic, used that power to burn those who came to kill him.
“You should have stopped. You lost consciousness.”
Black magic takes away a person’s reason.
It was not easy for someone who had not built up a vessel with black magic from the beginning to prevent its infiltration, no matter how strong their mental defenses were.
“He burned everything in sight.”
A wizard with overwhelming talent.
She became a more powerful witch than anyone else.
“Except me. Everything around me.”
After burning the lich.
Even the life vessel held by the blue magic tower was burned.
Even the entities that were originally the 9th and 10th thrones of the empire were burned.
“At that time, Kayingal, the 8th seat of the Empire, who died at the hands of Yuma. It was said that he met his end at the hands of the 10th Lords of the Empire.”
Clone walked and slowly shook his head.
“They couldn’t kill my mother. She reduced two cities to ash and then destroyed herself with her own flame.”
There was no lie in the fact that Clone’s mother was a witch.
There is just a hidden truth that others do not know.
Stand tall
Clone stopped walking and turned his back to look at Yuma.
“Are you disappointed? That I’m a witch’s daughter.”
Yuma stroked the black hair of the girl with the shining gold eyes.
“I am not disappointed in you.”
The night wind blew strongly.
Nevertheless, Yuma’s voice rang fully in Clone’s ears.
“Because there is no reason for that. You are the one who deserves to be disappointed in your mother.”
Tears welled up in Clone’s eyes.
“Right… I should be disappointed.”
Most people have seen the evacuation data thousands of times.
However, there will be innocent people who were swept away who did not try to kill their mother.
Clone slowly leaned on the sandy beach. Numerous stars caught the eyes of Yuma and Clone. Stars that look like they’re about to fall at any moment.
“I couldn’t disappoint, mother.”
I just missed it.
I just felt very lonely.
The empty space left by his mother, who had blindly trusted him, was just too big.
Yuma waited for Clone to look at the stars for a while.
“So…Yuma-sama won’t miss it.”
“okay.”
Yuma and Clone walked on the sandy beach at night again.
