chapter 24
Chapter 24 Legion Net (2)
I grabbed the sword I had placed nearby and pushed myself into the subspace.
As I entered through the torn space, there was a splendid space like a palace in front of me.
Jiikㅡ.
The crack in the space I came from was filled.
“…… “
A large round table in white on the side.
And a beautiful woman in the front.
It had curly blonde hair and a darker golden halo above it,
It had wings on its back.
“… Where is this place and what the hell is that?”
Isn’t one usually called an angel that looks like that?
But this place didn’t look like paradise.
… Rather, it felt like a splendid palace.
It moved toward me with its feet slightly floating in the air,
[Check visitor’s identity]
Slightly similar to a mechanical sound, he said it in the same voice and looked at me.
‘Background check?’
First of all, it was my intention to see what that angelic-looking thing was going to do.
I don’t know if it’s a prejudice, but it’s because I couldn’t think of anything evil from the angelic appearance.
[This is an unregistered member. Query the database. A corresponding object exists. It matches the entity’s information with the visitor.]
In front of my eyes, this woman is on the level of an archmage.
She has magical powers that circulate inside her body. A massive core formed.
And the momentum that was emitted quietly was informing me.
[Check permissions. Authority: General level. Round table registration status: Unregistered.]
[Scan the target.]
Blue light emanated from Tyrael’s eyes and began to scan my body like a laser.
I watched it because it wasn’t a light that was particularly lethal.
[In the process of scanning the subject’s body, anomalies were found.]
[Match rate 37%.]
[Exception Code – E – 037]
[Define the target of the search result for the code as a ‘decision deferred organism’.]
[Looking for ways to respond to the current situation.]
Beep.
[Entering combat readiness.]
Wheee
I spit out something to myself, and before I knew it, my hand had turned like a saw blade and was turning with a loud noise.
“I don’t know what is going on.”
If you try to figure out the situation based on what you muttered to yourself,
It’s almost like I’m going to fight because there’s something wrong with my background check… It is difficult to explain everything with just that.
What am I doing?
Even so, it was impossible to remain stunned by its aggressive attitude.
I immediately raised the sword I had brought.
Isn’t it basic to pack a weapon when entering this unknown territory?
Wheee
… The enemy, who looked roughly like a guardian, disappeared in an instant.
It is as if there is no distance of about 20 meters between us.
A guardian who rushes towards me at a speed that is not slow at all even for me who has entered the ‘time of the master’.
Kaaa
My sword, clad in saw blades and magic, crossed in the air.
Before the blades met, the collision of magical powers overlaid on top of each other.
I was able to read a lot of information from that once.
In the rushing slow time, accidents accelerate.
‘It’s amazing.’
The magic core is used like a knight’s circuit.
There was not much difference between the two in essence, but fighting like a warrior was never easy and not very efficient unless you had trained all your life.
‘Is it because I’m not human?’
I don’t know what the exact identity of that thing is.
7Th tier mage level.
What… The realm was too high to be called a familiar.
That’s not to say it wasn’t humans or any other alien species living on the continent.
In the meantime, several battles continue.
Kaang—-. Caan.
Only then do you notice.
They are attacks that have a strong tendency to test me rather than destroy me.
It was also thanks to that that I had time to think about other things.
Since then, there have been dozens of battles and battles that have been wielded exploratoryly.
In the end, we naturally widened our distance.
The accident felt long, but it was probably less than three seconds.
Tap-.
[Complete information collection. Coincidence rate … 99.8%. I have confirmed that the subject is a pure human. The battle ends.]
The winged woman narrated her monologue with her insensitive expression, then returned her hand, which had turned into a saw blade, back to normal, ending the battle as she had said.
“Huh… “
It was a bit absurd and rude, but… At first, we decided to talk.
The lack of information about this unknown space was the biggest reason for my decision.
“Hey. What are you? Where is this place?”
[I am Tyrael. I am the manager of this round table.]
As if asking when he attacked me, he replied cooperatively.
… Tyrael is a name that goes well with her angelic appearance.
And if it’s a round table… Was it named because of that round table in front of you?
If you ask me, I think I’ll tell you more.
“The explanation is too short?”
First, I decided to ask one by one.
“How am I supposed to understand you other than your name? The act of attacking without hesitation is quite unpleasant.”
[I am Tyrael. It is a familiar created by Michelo’s hands 236 years ago. I’ve been managing this place ever since.]
I have heard of the name Michelo.
He was the first president of the Legion.
Known as an 8th tier archmage over 300 years ago.
‘236 Years ago… It’s been a long time.’
Considering that the average lifespan of transcendentalists is around 300, there is a high possibility that Michelo will already return to the earth.
It is recorded that he was over 200 years old when he founded the Legion.
Is it because he is an 8th tier archmage, so the familiar he created is a 7th tier wizard?
No, even I, who hadn’t learned magic, didn’t know that it wasn’t that simple.
If that was possible, there wouldn’t be only one like Tyrael, and somehow it wouldn’t have been known for 300 years.
“You… How are you so strong?”
[I don’t understand the intent of the question.]
“7Th level wizard. I’ve never seen a familiar of your level.”
[Since I am a creature that received most of Michelo’s organs, I have inherited some of his memories and abilities.]
I see.
Hearing that, I understood Tyrael’s strength.
It’s not that you’re not human, but it’s not that you’re not a normal artificial life form… I don’t know how to treat it.
“I don’t know how to define you.”
[I am simply the manager of this round table. That’s enough.]
After talking, I came to my own conclusion.
It would be right to treat him like any other person.
“Why did you suddenly attack me? Didn’t you think I could get hurt?”
[I’m sorry about that. However, the purpose of my existence is to exclude variables that can threaten the Round Table.]
“How could I be dangerous? I am… Do you think there will be any difference?”
During our conversation, I was coming to a certain conclusion.
This round table is like a space created for transcendentalists.
Actually, before I came over here, Legionnet had marked me as inviting me, and the first time Tyrael looked at me, he showed no hostility.
That’s why.
The fact that she attacked me made me even more suspicious.
[As a result of scanning Eugene’s body, it was confirmed that he was significantly younger than the defined age of ‘Master’, and it was necessary to verify that something else was not pretending to be a human being.]
“… It’s kind of weird. That age is an absolute criterion.”
Aside from that, there are many questions about that statement.
How would you know my name,
“How do you know my name?”
[I found it after searching the linked database. Eugene Taranhilt. The eldest son of the Taranhilt family. He has two younger siblings under the age of 20… ]
“Stop, it’s not particularly important.”
It wasn’t that difficult to obtain as it was the identity information submitted to the Legion Admissions Office.
That… I’m guessing it pulled my information from a database or something.
[In response to the previous question, I agree that age is not an absolute criterion. Even so, there was a risk, so a ‘verification’ procedure was needed.]
“…… “
If you translate it, it means that I became a master at a young age, so I attacked it because it was suspicious.
Even so, can you excuse me for the fact that the purpose was to measure rather than hurt me?
“I feel a bit bad.”
[Sorry. We have prepared a reward for that.]
“That is natural.”
I almost got beaten up for no reason, but it would be reasonable to receive compensation for the damage.
The reason I tried to talk even though I was attacked in the first place was because I thought the words would work.
“Then let’s see what I can get from now on.”
Depending on her sincerity, I’m willing to go over just being beaten in the first place.
As Tyrael is a creature that partially inherited the 8th tier archmage, it was my expectation that the reward would not be disappointing.
