Embrace the Magic (127)
It was a giant demon subjugation that he had no choice but to participate in due to the pressure of the Four Great Towers. That’s why Elder Kendrick was in a bad mood all the way to the Hedens region.
But the moment I caught some of the ones I was desperately trying to catch, my annoyance disappeared. Instead, my heart swelled with anticipation.
But the good feeling turned sour again. It was because the little guy who I thought would open up easily was holding back.
“Elder, I’m holding on.”
“That kid is so stubborn.”
Elder Kendrick himself approached the wagon where the children were being held. Two children with mangled faces were staring at him with poisonous eyes.
“Your eyes are full of murder. Haven’t you ever learned that you should answer kindly when adults ask you questions?”
“Tch! I learned to pretend not to hear when a bad guy talks to me.”
Larry and Bianca’s eyes were chilling. Even though he had already been completely subdued, Elder Kendrick felt a chill down his spine.
“Tsk tsk, this is why home education is important. Looking at that brat, even that Rodin guy knows.”
“You do it, old man.”
Larry and Bianca were not discouraged even when their eyes were swollen shut. The wizards who were watching stuck out their tongues several times.
Larry and Bianca couldn’t give up. The memory of them trembling in the face of death and giving up helplessly still lingered in their minds.
I never wanted to repeat that miserable experience again.
If I had to die, I would die willingly. But I had no intention of succumbing to fear.
“If you tell me where that guy, Rodin, is, I’ll heal your wounds and give you some delicious food.”
“joy.”
What Elder Kendrick wanted was information on Rodin’s location.
In some ways, it might not have been a big deal. If it were Rodin, he might just laugh and take care of all the wizards in the Cedria Tower.
But Larry and Bianca couldn’t tell Rodin’s information. It didn’t matter whether Rodin would be harmed or not. They had to keep their mouths shut, even out of loyalty to their benefactor.
“Tch. They’re holding on… The adults are holding on, and the kids are holding on too. It’s annoying, what can I do… If I kill one of them, will they listen to me?”
“Just try to kill him! If Brother Rodin comes back, I won’t let him go!”
“Yes. Tell me where that guy named Rodin is.”
Elder Kendrick’s threats continued, but Larry and Bianca remained steadfast.
“Let’s see if you can survive with one arm cut off.”
“Huh. Cut off my arm first!”
“Cut me off first! You crazy old man!”
Elder Kendrick, who had been watching Larry and Bianca’s venom, was also shocked. But he couldn’t just kill time here.
The meeting place and time were set at the Landes Tower. Unless something special came up, you had to go to the designated place by the set time.
“Yeah. It might be nice to experience the unfamiliar feeling of having your own arm cut off.”
closely!
Elder Kendrick grabbed Larry’s arm, but Larry pushed Kendrick’s hand away with force and instead hit him in the face.
match!
“This guy!”
Thud! Thud! Thud!
“Crw! Crw!”
Elder Kendrick, in anger, kicked Larry. Not satisfied with just one kick, he kicked him everywhere from the waist to the head.
As if that wasn’t enough, he also kicked Bianca, who was next to him. Matthew, who was tied to another cart, stretched out his arms, but couldn’t reach her.
* * *
Rodin opened his eyes late in the afternoon, a feeling of refreshment and emptiness taking over his body.
“You’ve reached the 7th circle.”
The book says that when you reach the 7th circle, you feel a great sense of fulfillment, but Rodin was the opposite. He felt a growing sense of emptiness and loss.
“Are you awake?”
“Your Majesty, how are you?”
“I feel good.”
Rodin stood up and checked his body. His limbs were intact, and his magic circle was stable.
‘What a pity.’
Rodin felt his magical power suddenly decrease. The circle seemed to have become thinner, and the magical power density seemed to have decreased.
However, in reality, the magical power did not decrease. Rather, as I reached the 7th circle, the density of magical power increased, and the power I could exert also increased.
However, as the space where the magical power was stored became much larger, it felt relatively lacking in magical power. The vessel had grown larger, but it was not yet filled with its contents.
How long would it take to fill all this up? I wondered if even 10 years wouldn’t be enough, unless I encountered another chance encounter like the underground ruins.
“Master, your face has changed.”
“Really? How has it changed?”
“Now the feminine look has almost disappeared.”
“That’s good news. Mirror image.”
Rodin used his magic to check the face. It was still a pretty face, but the lines were a bit thicker. With this kind of face, it seemed like it would no longer be mistaken for a woman.
‘It’s because of the body reconstructing.’
Even when I experienced body reconstruction in the underground ruins, my femininity was slightly reduced. My nose bridge became a bit sharper and my facial contours became a bit clearer.
But this time, as I experienced body reconstructing again, my masculinity became even more prominent.
I had no intention of changing my clothes. I had always worn my hood down and almost covered my face, so now it felt awkward to show my face.
“Undyne, come here.”
-Hehehe. Hehe!
“Has it gotten a bit long?”
-Hehehe!
Undyne wasn’t in a state to talk yet, but even so, the short conversation left her with a more enriched feeling than before.
“Nothing happened?”
“The demon was killed by the magic of the Confucius.”
Jenna pointed to one side with her hand. Rodin could also see a huge lump of charred, blackened charcoal.
“No more? It looks like there are people gathered over there.”
“This is the Landes Tower. It seems they have come to subdue the demons.”
“Thank goodness there were no collisions. Hmm? Since when has it been like this?”
Rodin showed Jenna the bracelet on his left arm. Jenna thought for a moment, then remembered the time when the bracelet had glowed faintly.
“It’s been about an hour.”
“Move. The kids are in danger.”
“All right.”
“Zito, find the kids…, there they are.”
Larry and Bianca’s location was already being monitored by Zito. The moment they shared their view, Rodin could see Larry and Bianca being beaten by Elder Kendrick.
“Move with power. Follow me.”
“yes.”
Rodin immediately used fly magic to avoid the obstacles of the terrain.
As Rodin flew into the air, Charis and Jenna followed right behind. It was a full-out dash.
Francis Tower Master of Landes Tower, who had been watching the situation from afar, also got up from his seat due to the sudden situation.
“What’s going on?”
“The wizard opened his eyes a little while ago after his body was reconstructed. He then headed straight east. The reason for this is still unknown.”
“Leave 1 group alone, and the rest follow along on their own.”
Francis Towerju also used his Fly magic and flew. The wizards of Landes Tower followed him.
* * *
For very short distances, within about 5 meters, the knights were the fastest. The speed they gained by kicking the ground was something that even the wizards could not dare to keep up with.
However, if you want to travel a little further in terrain with many obstacles, the wizard was the best. As long as the wizard’s magic power remained, the knight could not keep up with the wizard’s flying magic.
However, if you move a much longer distance than that, the knight will become faster again. While a wizard becomes slow the moment his magic power runs out, a knight can run with the stamina he has built up even when his aura runs out.
“What is this?”
Archmage Francis was dumbfounded as he watched those flying far ahead.
It had been over ten years since he became a 7th circle wizard. He had accumulated ten years more magical power than someone who had just become a 7th circle wizard.
But I couldn’t possibly catch up with the person flying ahead of me. Instead, I felt like I was falling behind little by little.
“What on earth is this magical power?”
Even at 6th circle, Rodin had a magical power that was comparable to that of a great wizard. This was thanks to the mana he absorbed from Matthew’s body and the mana he obtained from the underground ruins.
It was the same even after becoming a 7th circle wizard. The amount of magical power was just as much as that of an 8th circle wizard I had seen in the past.
With that magical power, he continued to use his flying magic at top speed. There was no sign of slowing down.
On the other hand, Francis, the tower master of the Landes Tower who followed right behind, was already running low on magic power after flying for dozens of minutes. The magicians of the Landes Tower who followed behind were so far behind that they couldn’t even see.
“Wow, that’s amazing.”
Francis Topjoo decided to cancel the fly spell at this point.
It wasn’t a good choice for the wizard to use all his magic power. It could have easily shocked the circle.
At that moment, a tremendous flow of magical power was felt from in front. Judging by its size and power, it was clearly 7th Circle magic.
“Are we finally here?”
Using magic means that the target is not far away.
Francis held on to the fly spell he was trying to cancel for a little longer and continued to follow.
When people focus on one thing, they often forget the purpose and intent. Elder Kendrick was in that state.
The reason I started beating the kids was to find out where Rodin was. I should have beaten them moderately and asked them what I needed to ask.
Elder Kendrick beat the children to death to find out where Rodin was. He stomped on them, grabbed them by the collar, and then punched them relentlessly.
But at some point Elder Kendrick forgot his purpose.
Is it because I’m a wizard and I don’t have to use my fists?
As I became absorbed in beating the kids, at some point the question of Rodin’s position became secondary. I was just so happy to be beating them and beating them that I didn’t even think about anything else.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
“That little kid.”
Boom! Boom!
“When adults talk.”
“Come in and eat.”
Boom! Boom!
“I have to at least pretend to do it.”
Larry and Bianca had already been unconscious for a long time.
His face was a mess, and his body was already sagging. He had lost so much blood that the floor was soaked with blood. His breathing was also very shallow, so it wouldn’t have been strange if he had died soon.
“How dare you ignore what an adult says!”
At that moment, a tremendous flow of magical power was felt from one side. Elder Kendrick turned his head and quickly used defensive magic.
Elder Kendrick never forgot about Rodin even while he was beating the children. He had prepared defensive magic in advance, thinking that he could appear at any time.
“Impact Barrier!”
Kwaaang!
The magic flying from afar was blocked by the impact barrier. No, it was an illusion to say that it was blocked.
The impact barrier shattered as soon as the attack made contact. The magic that broke through the barrier passed over the shoulder of Elder Kendrick, who was beating up the children.
“Huh!”
Elder Kendrick took a step back in surprise. A moment later, a robed figure appeared on the edge of the clearing.
“You’re finally here, you little wizard!”
“That old dog is messing with my brothers?”
Rodin fired a 7-circle magic from afar. It was a magic called Air Drill, an attack magic that compressed the wind and spun it around to pierce the opponent.
Rodin knew nothing about 7th circle magic. The books he had seen in the library and archives only covered 6th circle magic.
The Air Drill was a magic that I made by combining runes while coming here. Although it was a magic that I made on the spot, its power was tremendous, as expected of a 7th circle magic.
Of course, Elder Kendrick had no ability to block the 7th circle magic. It was not Elder Kendrick’s ability that caused the magic to miss.
Rodin was worried that Larry and Bianca would be harmed, so he deliberately aimed for Elder Kendrick’s shoulder, not to hurt him, but to throw him away from his siblings.
“We finally met.”
“If you want to die so badly, I’ll kill you.”
“Haha, a mere 4th circle wizard is so fearless.”
Elder Kendrick never dreamed that Rodin would be stronger than him.
He thought that it was his own mistake that the impact barrier he had prepared in advance was broken, and he didn’t think that it was because his opponent’s magic was strong.
“Elder, we will handle it.”
“Okay. I’ll take care of it.”
Elder Kendrick tried to dissuade the other wizards from the Cedria Tower from coming forward.
The wizards of the Cedria Tower lined up on the left and right and glared at Rodin. It seemed as if they were pressuring him with numbers.
Okay! Okay!
Then two more people joined Rodin: a man in his early 30s and a woman in her mid-20s.
“Your Majesty, please leave it to me.”
“I’ll take care of it. Karis isn’t feeling well either.”
Rodin turned to Charis at the mention of the body. The injuries he had sustained from the giant demon were still there.
“Hmm, a potion won’t work?”
“Yes, the necklace storage is better for us.”
“It’s my fault you’re late.”
“it’s okay.”
During their brief conversation, Jenna stepped forward, intending to handle it herself, but Rodin grabbed her shoulder.
“Okay. This is my problem.”
“Confucius’s problems are also our problems.”
“But I have to handle this. You guys go save the kids.”
“Understood, Your Majesty.”
Rodin took out a potion, handed it to Karis and Jenna, and stepped forward.
Charis and Jenna split up to approach Larry and Bianca.
“Oh, you had an assistant? Well, that would just add more deaths, you little wizard. How dare you show off your skills.”
