Episode 229: The Peace Evangelist (6)
I had guessed that there would be a reaction to the spiral reflux.
Of course, the Typhon family was famous for its wind-based magic. There are cases where people make the wrong guess about the lineage based on just the apparent appearance, but fortunately, the Typhon family’s magic wasn’t like that.
‘It’s time for the wind to evolve.’
The fact that Galen’s most familiar and at the same time strongest attribute is water remains unchanged, but if you think about his recent treatment, the advance of the wind is dazzling.
Because it was such a good attribute to use as an auxiliary. It couldn’t stop fire or lightning, it got wet with water, got dirty with dirt, and the rest were too sloppy to use in ‘daily life’.
The Spiral Flow itself is a large-scale magic, so it was difficult to use it carelessly, so the balance was good until now, but when you could create a wind spirit with life magic, the balance was completely ruined.
Even the only drawback, that it was a temporary issue, would be solved once the primordial spirit was created. It wasn’t for nothing that Galen flew in smiling.
Also, look at the other person’s reaction.
“I can’t even see the liver.”
Galen shook his head as if he was troubled. Of course, the corners of his mouth were twitching as he tried to suppress a smile.
“I don’t think you didn’t realize that the reconnaissance spirit was so weak that it wasn’t even a threat… You just blew it up so mercilessly.”
“Could it be that my brother tried to sneak into the house without permission?”
“Spying… Well, that’s not wrong, but I was just trying to see if the landlord was there.”
“Anyway, you’re not innocent!”
Lilia glared at him kindly. It had only been a day or two since they had been together. She was not the type of person who would not notice Galen’s true feelings.
Galen smiled awkwardly. Before the smile lasted a few seconds, a strange light flashed in his eyes.
A creepy feeling that cuts through the wide sensory sphere sharply.
The nature, direction, speed, and power of the opponent’s magical power were input into my head in an instant. The moment I recognized it, a command was immediately output from my brain.
‘Spiral flow.’
Galen’s magical power surged forward in all directions.
Lilia, whose innate special senses reacted, reflexively turned her head towards the mansion.
Shamita also felt Galen’s magic first and quickly regained her senses.
Paaaaaaaang!
The shock wave struck with a tingling sensation, accompanied by a loud noise of air bursting.
An incredibly huge sword of wind, so transparent that it was hard to see, was swung towards them.
It was the result of the vortex created by the spiral vortex acting as a giant shield to block it from the front.
“I will do it, Shamita.”
In that short time, Galen gently stopped Shamita, who was already holding a dagger in both hands.
“You must have been very tired coming here.”
“I did use a lot of magic power.”
Even if you are a jewel wizard, it would be impossible for you to be okay with flying around burning magic power all day long.
Unica, a level 74 jewel that follows Galen’s life magic and has no other world, keeps sending telepathy saying she wants to rest.
Shamita probably won’t be much different. It’s not that it’s really that difficult, but I don’t think you’ll want to fight while squeezing out your magic power.
“But isn’t that the same for you too, Galen? Is that okay?”
“I have extra horsepower on the other side.”
“… Didn’t you just fly with the wind until now?”
“Similar, but a little different.”
“okay……?”
It might be a bit difficult for a sky fairy to understand, as they have been able to use magic since birth and thus perceive magic no differently than their five senses.
The magic that Galen used to fly here was spirit creation, that is, it consumed the magic of life. The magic of the spiral flow was still full.
Even thanks to the Star Crumb Bracelet, the magical power consumption was halved, so there was still plenty of magical power left for life. Only Unika, who didn’t have that, was having a hard time.
Paaaaang! Paaaaang! Paaaaang!
Whether they talked or not, the other party would not stop their offensive. Shamita agreed and retreated for now, and Galen focused on his magic.
The wind kept clashing with the wind.
A giant sword slashed down vertically, then seemed to bounce off, then suddenly broke into hundreds of fragments that shot out like arrows, compressed and shot out here and there before exploding in the air.
No matter how the opponent came out, the spiral loop was a wall that silently blocked all attacks while crouching like a turtle. As the attacks became more and more intense, Galen had to pour all his magical power into it.
“It’s a different kind of magic. Looking at it this way, it’s clear.”
Lilia, who had been watching the clash of winds inside the castle, which was transparent and hard to see, suddenly made a slightly apologetic expression and whispered.
“To be honest, the wind over there is much more colorful.”
“It’s the same in my eyes. There’s nothing I can do since the magic’s orientation is different.”
Galen shrugged his shoulders, saying it was nothing special.
The spiral vortex, which creates a flow of wind in the shape of a whirlwind, can be used for large-scale destruction or small-scale wind attacks if the rotation axis is set well, but it is essentially specialized for area blockade.
It feels like when I lock up my enemy, it becomes a prison, and when I lock up myself, it becomes a castle wall.
On the other hand, the opponent’s magic seemed to be good at shaping the wind into a specific shape and swinging it around.
Although the versatility itself may be higher, the spiral vortex that just spins a whirlwind seems to have an advantage in wind density at the same level.
“And, the more colorful the wind is over there, the better for me.”
Galen, who had been whispering softly, smirked. The part where he said that the more expensive the better, from the perspective of a thief, was omitted. Lilia, who had noticed without saying anything, pouted her lips.
“I wish I had abilities like you, brother.”
“… Hey, Lilia? Even though I don’t have that ability, Lilia’s talent for chasing me alive is scarier.”
“Hey, you’re teasing me again.”
“I’m telling you, it’s true. Well, now that I think about it, it’s not like I don’t have that kind of ability, right?”
“What is it?”
“If you showed me a higher miracle, I’d be able to follow it right away.”
“I couldn’t follow along while sitting like you, brother.”
“I would appreciate it if you could stop, since they are both the same.”
Shamita, who had been listening quietly, finally spoke up. If her personality had been a little more twisted, she might have been offended, thinking that they were deceiving someone now.
“I know you two are a pair of incredible visions that have never been seen before, so wouldn’t you like to focus on me for now?”
“Oh, I’m sorry.”
“I’m sorry, Shamita. I got a little carried away… … .”
Lilia, who suddenly came to her senses, quickly apologized, and Galen smiled bitterly and bowed his head modestly.
If delicate magic usage was required, I would have kept the conversation to a minimum, but since I was just pouring in all my magic and spinning around to defend, I had more time to spare, so the small talk became longer.
Shamita, who had generously forgiven the two, looked at Galen and asked.
“It’s been a while since you’ve been consistent in your defense. Do you think this is okay?”
“It’s okay. That’s what I intended.”
“You intended it?”
“The opponent hasn’t even shown his face yet.”
It was literally that. No one had come out yet. Typhon’s gem was still stuck inside the house, casting spells.
“I think he thought he could brush it off lightly without even having to go out and look, but since I kept holding on, I think he must have gotten angry too.”
“Of course. If it’s a jewel, I’d be especially proud of my skills.”
“I didn’t bring up the revised world, but if I bring it up first, it would hurt my pride, so I think I want to end it under normal circumstances. Then the fight inevitably becomes this long.”
“What are you aiming for with that?”
“You can naturally induce curiosity and draw it out.”
Galen gestured toward the mansion.
“I heard that you really hate meeting people, to the point that you built a house here instead of having a perfectly good house. Wouldn’t it be better for you to come out of curiosity on your own feet rather than breaking down the front door and coming in?”
“I understand now. It makes sense. Of course, this isn’t the most polite way to do it, except that it doesn’t break down the front door.”
“As you get older, you tend to feel lonely. If you think of your grandchildren playing with you, wouldn’t that make him happy?”
“I’m older than you, but… …?”
“Let’s skip the small stuff.”
In fact, the deeper you dig into it, the more speechless you become because it is a plausible reason.
Even if he is a quirky old man who hates people, I doubt he would show his nose if the archbishop came to see him in person and knocked on the door. He might show that he was annoyed, but he would show his face, even if it was only briefly.
But then there would be no chance to use magic. It would be awkward to ask someone you’re not close with to spar, and the person who receives the request would usually refuse.
So, you should fight whenever you can to gain the most progress.
It was just unknown how compatible the other person would be.
Thankfully, we got along well enough that we didn’t have to bump into each other twice.
Perhaps because the focus is different but the fact that they deal with wind is similar, the interpretation wasn’t that difficult, so the progress was fast.
Tingle!
I felt dizzy for a moment as a throbbing headache came over me.
The newly acquired magical knowledge was engraved in Galen’s mind with a single stroke of a pen.
[Storm Lv.69]
[Convection: Rotation, Control]
[100% progress to next level]
The integrated evolution is complete. Galen glanced at the status window and chuckled.
The magic of the person I was grateful for until just now has become annoying as a ghost. Now that I’m done with my work, I wish they would stop.
Was that feeling conveyed, or was it because they judged that they would not be able to break through the defense without using the revised world?
After a while, the opponent’s magic suddenly stopped.
Galen also gained the magic power of the spiral vortex.
Soon, people came out of the building. There were five of them. Galen’s eyesight was limited in distinguishing human figures.
They were talking amongst themselves, pointing with their fingers in the direction the group was. As the conflict finally stopped, it became quiet, and Lilia, who had sharp ears, focused her hearing and relayed the message.
“The four of them look like escorts. They have swords on their waists. The old man in the middle is probably a jewel, right?”
“Your name was Landon, right?”
“Yes! Well, the guards are saying it’s dangerous and telling us to stay put, and Brother Landon will take care of it.”
“If it’s an escort, it’ll usually be Baek Eun-il… In the first place, a warrior wouldn’t be of any help here, right?”
“Right.”
So it seemed he had no choice but to shut his mouth quickly. After a short argument, Landon left his escorts behind and walked away.
After walking a few steps, Landon’s body naturally rose up. The old man glided towards him.
Having completed the magic theft, Galen was able to grasp the principle precisely.
Behind Landon’s back grew a pair of wings made of wind. They didn’t flutter, and were more like a cloak, but they gave the impression that they were spraying wind.
Landon, who had just arrived in front of them, opened his mouth.
“There are days when three uninvited guests come.”
The wings of the wind had already folded forward and were wrapping around Landon. They were transparent and invisible, but the wind’s gathered nature would serve as a great shield.
It was said that they were on high alert for the three. Of course. It was nothing special to them, but only a very small number of people had the skills to fly freely.
“Where are you from?”
“Excuse me, Brother Landon!”
Lilia, who had received Galen’s nod, stepped forward first and greeted him brightly. The stigmata that had been released from control sparkled in her eyes. It was enough to be reflected even in Landon’s eyes, which had grown old and dull.
“Archbishop, it’s Lilia!”
“Lilia… Archbishop? Are you talking about the new archbishop who was recently ordained?”
“that’s right!”
Lilia pulled out the unwavering light like a staff. Landon nodded, having seen the most convincing evidence of a priest.
The light meant that he was at least a bishop, and there was no way a bishop would impersonate an archbishop, and he looked exactly like the portrait that was distributed, so there was no reason to be suspicious.
“A distinguished guest has arrived. The person next to you must be… Duke Galen.”
“That’s right. You noticed.”
“They are such a famous couple that I could hear about them.”
It seems that he was receiving information regularly even though he didn’t like meeting people. After all, in order to survive on the cliff, he had to communicate with the outside world.
“So, what are you doing here?”
“First of all, I apologize for coming here without notice.”
“Okay, then tell me what you want to do.”
“Well, first, could you please read me a letter?”
“letter?”
Landon tilted his head. Galen pulled out a letter. Lilia slid down holding it.
Landon carefully received the letter and moved his eyes. It wasn’t that long, so he read it quickly. The content was shocking.
“Is this a letter to the head of the household saying that we will stop expansion and completely end the conflict with the Sky Fairy? There’s no way they would just notify us of this… Are you asking us to join in?”
“yes!”
“This is so out of the blue… … .”
Landon’s gaze, trailing off, turned to Shamita, not Liliana Galen.
A strange heat suddenly appeared in the old man’s clouded eyes.
“Even more so since I brought the sky fairy to say this.”
