Episode 230. The Golden Lord (3)
Like a quiet night ends and a huge storm comes.
An enormous uproar arose in the silence-filled conference room.
“What kind of ridiculous nonsense is that!! “I can’t believe I saved Remillion’s life!!”
“How dare you!!! “How dare you make such an outrageous statement in the conference room where all the representatives of the alliance gather!!!”
“That madman has insulted the founder of the Holy Alliance!! Get that madman out of the conference room immediately!!”
Without exception, all the deputies from the Galentana and Vestana sides stood up. Shouts rang out, faces turned red and blue, and eyes turned white. Even the deputies from Enrico and Delutana were speechless or showed a hint of hostility.
It was not surprising that such a reaction occurred. After being conquered by the empire in the past, the three major cities of Delutana, Galentana, and Vestana were separated for a long time and each lived independently. However, there was one thing that they still shared.
Absolute respect for Remillion, the golden leader who unified the eastern part of the continent and established the Free Cities Alliance.
The allies spend their whole lives with the great man. They grow up listening to his adventures, when they bless each other, they ask for his gold, and when they make an oath that must be kept, they swear by his name. Naturally, the allies consider Remillion’s name to be as sacred as a religion.
In other words, Kadim’s statement… … In front of the Elgar Church, she claimed, ‘She saved the Elgar who was dying.’
The only thing that can be taken into account is that Remillion is a deified human being and not a true god. But that didn’t change the fact that it was nonsense.
“I don’t know how you can spout such nonsense! Are you saying that you have been blessed by the gods and have lived for hundreds of years? No, no, even if we make a hundred or a thousand concessions, do you have any way to prove that you saved Remillion, Demon Slayer?
“Why don’t you just ask the person involved?”
“Damn it, stop talking nonsense! The great Golden Lord has already passed away two hundred years ago!”
“Did you personally see him die? Or go to the grave and look at the corpse.”
“Please, please shut your mouth! Remillion-sama’s temple does not exist within the alliance territory! For unknown reasons, his whereabouts in his later years were mysterious… … .”
“Then I guess I know the current situation best here. “I saw that guy alive.”
When it was not enough to withdraw and recover from the remarks, Kadim poured oil on the fire and threw a bomb. The conference room became a large-scale chaos that made the previous chaos look like a friendly meeting. In the atmosphere of fanaticism, the anger of the members finally surpassed their instinctive fear of barbarians.
Finally, one high-ranking wizard could no longer bear it and declared:
“This madman murdered the Tower Lord and insulted the founder of the alliance, shaking the foundations of the Free Cities Alliance that has supported one axis of the continent for a long time!! As a seeker of mystery and a member of the alliance, I can no longer sit idly by and watch this outrage!! From this moment on, we at the Magic Tower will define the ‘Demon Slayer’ as a public enemy of the alliance and execute him on the spot!”
Soon, a spell flowed from the wizard’s mouth. I could see an unpleasant flow, an airflow of ‘mana’ condensing into the magic stone in my heart.
At that moment, Kadim also leapt.
Kwa-Ang!
It might be more accurate to call it flying rather than jumping. The giant leaped over 30 meters in an instant. The table at the landing point collapsed without a trace, the protective shield that had been laid out in advance shattered into pieces, and a merciless hand grabbed the wizard’s cheek.
Pachachachachang – !!
“Woo!!”
“If you say one more word, I will rip out your tongue. “If you have an extra tongue, keep talking.”
The high-ranking wizard completely froze. He could clearly see that this was a mantra without any diplomatic rhetoric.
An energy more sinister than that of the devil spread. Other people nearby also froze, unable to scream. However, the lawmakers a little distance away screamed and ran away, and the wizards were scared and prepared to counterattack.
“P, Porsilion!! Are you okay!!”
“Everyone, attack the demon slayer! [Holpera, Mol, Ketilis, Apikkanto, En… … .]”
“[Holpera, Freor, Hesrak, En, Ercinio… … .]”
Kadim furrowed his brows slightly. As expected, past and present, there was nothing I liked about those magicians. It would be a great relief if I just killed them all, but… … .
I decided to just ignore it for now. It was a problem that would be resolved cleanly in a short while anyway, and Enrico, who was in the chairman’s chair, had a face that looked like his life had been cut in half.
“Are you there, Duncan?”
“… … Yes, yep! Here it is, get better!”
“You take care of everything. “Don’t kill me.”
“Oh, I understand!”
Duncan, who had been hiding in a shady corner, jumped out. The magicians were astonished at the new spirit that appeared like a shadow.
“Ugh!! Yes, who are you… … .”
“Come on, go to sleep, damn it!”
Goooooong – !
“Turn it off… … .”
The dagger of the World Tree swung like a gale. one two three four… … The wizards picked and fell one after another. The peddler’s movements have now become so smooth and fast that even he was surprised.
But it didn’t seem right to Kadim. Instead of strangling the wizards and making them unconscious, he waved at Duncan.
“It’s too slow. “Give me that wooden dagger.”
“Uh, uh, yep… … .”
As soon as the dagger was handed to him, Kadim threw it with all his might.
――― Squirt, guuuuuung – !
“100 million!”
“Ugh!”
“Oops!”
At speeds approaching subsonic, the projectiles pierced through the target and lodged in the wall.
―――――――― Kwa-Ang!!
Eighteen wizards, more wizards than Duncan had stabbed, fell with a single throw. When Kadim threw the dagger twice more, all the wizards who were reciting the spell were subdued and fell asleep.
“A dagger isn’t a weapon that can only be used up close. Later, when you have time, try practicing your sword skills.”
“… … .”
Duncan thought. Even if he spent a hundred years eating and throwing daggers, he probably wouldn’t be able to throw it like that…
Anyway, the commotion in the room was completely resolved. However, the area where those who had fled to avoid the commotion had gathered was still in chaos.
――――――― Hwioooooo – !
A door that emits a strange cry. A strong air current entangled the doorknob, and a wall of strong wind was created in front of the door that pushed the body forward. The only exit was blocked and the entire conference hall was blocked.
“What is this? I, I can’t go out because of this… … .”
“Hey, open up! Put this away! If you stay here, you’ll definitely die… … .”
The council members initially thought this was the work of the wizards who had been fighting Khadim. However, when they fell and the magic did not disappear, they gradually panicked and panicked.
Kadim also stiffened his face slightly. For some reason, unlike other magics, this magic could not detect any presence.
The doubt didn’t last long. Soon, a magic caster appeared with a gust of wind.
――――― Whiuuuung – !
“Huh… … “As expected, I’m not as average as I heard.”
His hair was sparse, his eyes were squinty. His face was densely engraved with mysterious characters and wrinkles. On the outside, he looked like just an old man with a strange appearance, but his pitch-black robes and the reactions of the remaining wizards proved that he was an extraordinary person.
“Come on, Elder! “Whew, Elder Wendigot!”
“what? What kind of elder is here… … Uh, huh? Elder?”
“Oh, the ‘Endless Storm’ himself is acting… … .”
Matap Elder’s 2nd seat, ‘Endless Storm’ Wendigot.
In the absence of the Matapju and the Senior Elder, he was the highest ranking elder in the Matap. The unexpected appearance of a big shot caused a stir in the hall. Even those who did not know the exact identity felt an ominous presence and tightened their tension.
Except for one person, Kadim.
“There was one more fly I didn’t see.”
“… … .”
“Are you one of those magicians who belong to the council of elders?”
Wendigot responds to questions that ignore manners without any regrets.
“Yes. Finally, we meet, demon slayer. I am Wendigot, the ‘Endless Storm’, the second-highest elder of the Council of Elders.”
“… … Why didn’t I see you at the rooftop last time?”
“At that time, I went to Soltana to inspect the Tower Lord. Well, if I had known that such a fuss would arise, I wouldn’t have left the Tower in the first place… … .”
Although he spoke in an indifferent tone, there was a lot of tension underneath his eyelids that could explode at any moment. Let’s have a conversation as if walking on thin ice. Kadim gestured at the wind barrier blocking the exit.
“But how did they do that? “I don’t feel any ‘magic energy’ at all, but it seems different from the magic you usually use.”
“… … !”
Wendigot twisted his eyes. He studied Kadim’s figure carefully, then let out a dull laugh.
“Hehehe… … Is this something I have a good eye for or a bad eye for? … . “I think I can find the answer just by looking at your neck, right?”
“… … .”
Kadim gently swept the ‘Blessing of Fire and Ice’ and swallowed a small laugh. Oh, was it something like that?
The magicians of the Magic Tower replaced the ‘Ancient Mana’ with ‘Mana’ mixed with magic. Because of this, even Kadim, who had poor mana sensitivity, was able to sense signs and hints of magic. However, with Melissa’s death, ‘Ancient Mana’ returned to the world, and it seemed that the elder had already learned magic using it.
It’s been a while since I encountered a magician whose tricks are difficult to predict.
That wasn’t all. If the elders’ abilities were similar to those of the previous elders, Iza’s magic would easily destroy a section of the city. Furthermore, Wendigot had come prepared to deal with Khadim.
“Anyway, I secretly followed you to the conference room just in case, and it was a good thing I did. He confessed to killing the tower owner and the two elders, said that he saved the golden leader, and even defeated so many wizards in an instant… … . Hehehe, thanks to you, I had an unusually interesting sight in my later years.”
“… … .”
“Well, I can guess what your answer will be, but just out of courtesy, I’ll offer you this one suggestion. Don’t you want to follow me and pay for your sins, demon slayer? I, I don’t intend to kill you, but I’ll let you go after about 20 or 30 years… … I’ll study every nook and cranny of your body in the magic tower to see what happened to it.”
“… … .”
“Hehe, unfortunately… … “Rejection is not an option.”
The elder twisted his mouth and rolled up his sleeves. The magic circle spell was revealed, written in detail from the back of the hand, over the forearm, to the back.
It was almost certain that the demon slayer had killed the elders and the magic tower master. I had no idea what he had done, but Wendigot thought that if he went forward without a plan, he would surely end up in the same situation as them.
Therefore, I have made full preparations. Just like this, I have engraved a magic circle of ‘Great Magic’ that can be activated at any time on my entire body.
There was no need to memorize a spell. All you had to do was want it to activate. Immediately then, a storm that would crush heaven and earth would descend and tear that lumpy barbarian to pieces.
Moreover, the power source of this ‘Great Magic’ is ‘Ancient Mana’. Unlike ‘Mana’, whose core energy was discovered, it was an unknown energy of which little was yet revealed. I was confident that it would never be destroyed or stopped due to demonic energy being erased like normal magic… … .
All that thorough preparation was in vain.
Coo coo coo coo… … .
“… … Breathe?”
By the ‘Unknowable Devourer’ who devours all mysteries and miracles.
Teo – Huh! Kufuuuuu… … .
A huge monster attacked the conference hall and disappeared. An incomprehensible expression appeared on everyone’s faces. Only a few Delutana members showed faint expressions of admiration. They had already seen thousands of Gospel bodies being annihilated by that monster all at once during the Gospel incident.
Woohoooooo… … .
The light emitted by ‘Aculanos’ Tattoo’ slowly faded. The wendigot realized later that her body, which had been like a scribbling pad, had been cleaned up.
“Uh, uh uh… … What, my magic… … ? Ugh!”
“… … .”
A rough grip strangled his neck. The elder, who had lost the magic circle he had painstakingly prepared, fell unconscious after barely holding on for five seconds.
A stillness that flows anew, where even the sound of breathing is silenced.
“… … .”
“… … .”
As the ‘Endless Storm’ collapsed, the wind barrier blocking the exit disappeared. However, none of the members of the council had the courage to escape. Their muscles relaxed, their bones hardened, their blood froze, their nerves became numb, and they could not move even a single step.
No matter what anyone says, the Magic Tower is the strongest military group in the alliance, and the ‘Endless Storm’ Wendigots can be said to be the actual strongest force within the Magic Tower at the moment. But the fact that he was subduing him so vainly means… … .
What was vaguely recognized is now something that everyone deeply feels.
The author was a force majeure. The author was absolute power. The author was an individual who reigned above law, order, faith, mystery and miracles. No matter what atrocities the author committed, they could not really do anything. No, they should be thankful that he did not slaughter everyone here.
“Lemilion… … What, what kind of monster in the world is that… … .”
“Huh, huh, huh… … .”
“I, I, please save me… … . I don’t want to die here… … .”
A few members of the National Assembly, who had a particularly strong survival instinct, managed to turn around. Since walking on two feet was impossible, they desperately crawled like snails toward the exit. Unfortunately, they ran into trouble before they could get very far.
A bright light suddenly appeared out of nowhere and blocked my path.
“hmm… … “What are you doing here?”
“… … uh?”
“… … “Who are you again?”
“Uh… … Hmm, well… … I don’t know if you’ll believe me even if I tell you… … .”
The man wearing golden armor took off his helmet and scratched the fabric wings on his back in an awkward manner.
“I am Remillion, the leader who established the alliance and a close friend of the dragon. If, then, you are indeed the allies… …then I would be your ancestor.”
“… … .”
The ancestors of the alliance, who had evolved to fly in the sky, encountered their descendants who had degenerated to crawl on the ground after a full 200 years.
