chapter 24
4. Shall We Reconcile (Complete)
4. Shall we reconcile?
Clay gasped and pulled him back. He heard the sound of the approaching wind and seemed to have responded miraculously.
However, the unfortunate thing is that if I stayed still, it would have ended with just getting hit on the temple and fainting, but I changed my position sloppily for no reason, and the blade of the sword rubbed against me.
“Kuh?!”
Blood is gushing out. Blood gushes from a solid line that starts from the tip of the chin, crosses the nose, and reaches the forehead. It hurriedly danced unseemly in the air.
But he couldn’t help but laugh.
‘A harbinger of magic.’
It’s because the magic circle occurred in succession from Clay’s grip. It’s different from the spirit-type magic that the kid used to use.
That was a magic that my instincts let loose in order to live. The guy didn’t even think about it, just felt that his life was threatened and tried to blow up the surroundings.
I reached out and kicked Clay in the stomach.
“Keah!”
However, with the ensuing fight, his stamina finally began to show the bottom. Clay, who flew less than expected, finally completed his magic, and the magic flowing through the atmosphere became a catalyst and reached me.
‘Was he a pyromancer? !’
The air smelled acrid. A dangerous smell just before an explosion.
“f*ck, sh*t, sh*t!”
Cried Clay, covering his bloody face. He was a scream close to screaming. His fingertips ignited.
This is unavoidable. You shouldn’t even avoid it.
Makia is right behind you.
As soon as I remembered that fact, I threw down my longsword and ran backwards. If you hit the fire magic directly without defense, you will die instantly, nothing more and nothing less. I knew that all too well.
I put Makia in my arms as much as I could. Fortunately, I am a person who usually walks around with a good back, and I was able to capture it enough because I was small.
The problem is next.
Kwaaang!
The flames rushed behind my back. As it was expressed in a hurry for the sake of the master’s survival, the degree of perfection would have been poor, but it was a murderous temperature to receive with a bare body that could not even be wrapped in strength due to lack of magical power.
“Chuck… !”
I felt like I was going to stop breathing because of the violent pain beyond the limit. It couldn’t have ended in an instant. Immediately, the fire burning clothes and supporting skin continued for a long time. After suffering so much that I wondered if my brain was ripening, the flame finally died out.
“Heo Eok, Heo Eok… “
There is a limit to magic power combustion unless you continuously inject magic power. And that the flame has died out.
“Kuh, keuhuh, that looks good, very!”
Clay, who had fled far away before I knew it, was creating a glowing magic circle in his hands as if he was going to intercept me from a distance.
These eyes were really determined to kill me. The disregard for Makiana and the other seniors was evident in their impatient attitude. The eyes, saturated with madness, focused only on me.
Took-
It was then.
I found something.
That was a sample.
I couldn’t find it because I couldn’t find it because I couldn’t bear to go deep, and the sample rolled down inside Makia’s disheveled clothes.
And the sample was labeled as undiluted.
Not diluted, 100% undiluted.
I immediately picked it up and chewed the whole glass bottle. Concentrated drug flowed down his throat along with sharp fragments from his mouth.
A warm and cool feeling spread throughout my body. The dead cells were awakened one by one, and the thoughts that had been hardened gradually began to expand.
Even the bloody ooze that flowed down my back felt so tender. Tears flowed.
“Ha…..!”
Clay freaked out when he was so happy that his mouth was tearing.
“Again, what are you trying to do!”
“What is it?”
After laying Makia down, I picked up the longsword that had been randomly scattered on the floor. Then, smiling brightly, he aimed the tip of his sword at Clay.
“I’ll beat you to death, you f*cking bastard.”
**
After picking up something from the floor and eating it, the monster’s eyes suddenly turned. He cries in pain, laughs while crying, laughs, then suddenly distorts his face like a demon and becomes enraged.
In Clay’s position as he watched, there was no greater fear than that.
“Blur, that is…. Blur?”
Clay inadvertently backed away and let out an anxious voice. The popularity that was supposed to be there was already gone.
When I turned around, only the robe Blur was wearing remained. Clay muttered blankly.
“This f*ck… This is why guys from Peer… “
In the end, Clay stood alone.
“… Ha! Where are you going!”
I already predicted that that zombie-like guy would rise even after being hit by fire. Even if it’s just my cancer, even if it’s crude flame magic, if a normal person gets hit, it’ll at least faint, but that guy is fine even after being hit five times even with Remind.
I am not human.
Isn’t that the reason why we widened our distance to deal with each other in a standard way?
Flame!
Clay fused two burning magic circles that were about to be completed. At the same time, the surroundings began to rise to high temperatures.
“Awesome… !”
It reaches a temperature that even the practitioner can not avoid the phenomenon of the palms getting ripe.
Since things have come to a point, taking it out now is more costly. At the very least, the prestige of the Circle would only come if rumors spread that he had half-killed that freshman in Eros. If not, what remains in the circle? There is only a stigma that he was robbed by one of the freshmen of Eros.
Clay’s hair stood on end with his crazy thoughts up to that point.
‘That’s absolutely not possible.’
Yeah, let’s just kill them. No, maybe even the determination to kill is not enough. Clay kept repeating it and finally completed the middle class magic. His magic release level is 3 levels, and he was only at level 3 of his prime at best, so this level was the best.
However, it was more than enough to kill a warrior who hadn’t mastered magic release yet.
“f*ck me!”
Finally, flames in the true sense began to flow from Clay’s hands. Wherever sparks fly, the table catches fire and the bottle melts.
However, Alem ran forward instead of avoiding the scene.
In fact, that was the only option for the people behind it, but it was a huge insult and shame to Clay.
“Are you underestimating me?!”
Clay was enraged and released the magic held in his grasp.
Finally, an overwhelming mass begins to rush towards Alem. The rushing torrent that seemed to cover the ceiling was more violent and wild than a tsunami. Everything that passed by was burned and soon turned to ashes.
Alem did not run away. Instead, when she discovered that Clay was a pyromancer, she took out a can of id’s oil that she had secretly picked up.
Tteuk-!
As Alem sprinted, she bit the lid with her teeth and ignorantly opened her oil can with only her teeth. She poured her oil with all her might into the air in front of her. Over and over again.
Hwareuk!
Flames spread to the oil that flew in her semicircular trajectory. The flames that rushed towards Alem only for a moment began to be induced in a different direction.
Hwaaah!
The trajectory that Alem created became a wave that reversed the crashing tsunami, and miraculously dispersed the tsunami’s purpose, albeit for a moment.
Wave of fire rolls in both directions.
A small but sure crack formed in the flames that lost their goal and began to struggle. The gap was very small compared to its enormous mass, but it was large enough for one person to enter.
Alem thrust her longsword into the flames without hesitation. She and with all her might she slashed the flames.
“Kuaaa!”
It was at that moment that the huge waves of fire that seemed impregnable began to split left and right.
“What…..!”
The curtain of fire was forcibly pulled open, and beneath it was a pyromancer looking up in horror.
“I told you, I will beat you to death.”
Soot and burn marks all over Alem’s grinning body. But the fact that he was almost at his destination moved him.
Alem let out his last breath and sped away. Before Clay could resist, he swung the flat side of his greatsword at his temple.
“Kaaak!!”
Clay, who vomited a death blow, flew into the wall and slammed into it, leaving all his limbs hanging loose.
“Heh, heh, heh, heh… “
Alem took a deep breath belatedly. In the midst of the lack of breathing through the battle without resting, at the end of the fire, he could not even breathe properly and ran at full speed.
It was unknown whether Clay fainted or he died. Because next time it was Alem himself.
“Huh, uhhh…” “
As soon as the battle was over, Alem sobbed at the intense pain in his body that came up belatedly. Even though he had taken two or three of the drugs at once, the pain far beyond the medicinal effect pierced his brain.
I didn’t have the ability to hold on.
“Ahhh, uhhh… “
I thought I would pass out at any moment, but I had to make sure that the remaining people, Id, Cynthia, and Makia, were all right.
And.
It was at that moment that the door of the tavern, which had been tightly closed, opened, and Wins with devastated eyes found Alem at the entrance.
Winds approached Alem with a face about to cry.
“What, what. What, what happened… “
“……Senior Wins?”
Her vision was blurry due to her long exposure to high temperatures, but Alem could clearly see her blue hair even beyond the blurred world.
Winds, whose name was called, spoke hastily.
“Yes, it’s me, Winds! What the hell is this, why are you in the Phobos Circle room… Until this gets to this point… “
“Did I do something wrong again?”
He hesitated.
“……What?”
As if he had heard wrongly, Wins looked at Alem’s face with her eyes wide open. She was so surprised that she didn’t even notice the rustle coming out of her.
“…..Well, what does that mean-“
“Isn’t that always the case… !”
Alem was not normal.
The vicious secret arts that destroy her mind are stacked several times, and the mind is so activated that it is to the point of ignoring the reminder. .
In the end, all those causes add up to the point where she can hear her hallucinations as soon as she sees Winds through her memories of her past.
Alem sobbed bitterly, she asked. Although she was close to unconsciously burying the sadness of the past.
“Again, again, am I the problem? This, this, I, to protect, how much… “
Where did her usual composure go? Alem, who had been talking nonsense, continued her words with tears in her eyes, before collapsing into Winds’ arms and fainting. The tension in her body was relieved because she had someone to take care of her situation on her behalf.
But.
“…………..”
Losing her words, Winds had no way of recovering for a moment from the shock of having hit her head with her giant hammer.
