The Engagement Was Broken Off and I Became a Munchkin - Chapter 53
Episode 53 Warlock (11)
* * *
Ella Jenaf assigned us a place to stay.
Each is a private room.
I washed my soiled body and dived onto the bed in a gown.
A chandelier hanging from a high ceiling.
Looking at him, he made up his mind for what was to come.
Ezebet is a hostage.
At the same time, it is an essential piece for Helena.
To fully restore the power of the primordial witch.
Therefore, it was unlikely that she would simply kill her.
According to Luna, Helena had a good chance of preparing a ritual to fuse her Erzebet with herself.
“Hmm.”
What was the reason that attracted me and Luna Ruina here?
In my case, the goal would be to eliminate, and the reason I brought in Luna was… Of course, the same reason that he kidnapped Elizabeth.
Ruina… For now, it seemed like a reasonable inference that it had something to do with Tarancio.
I checked the power.
I had a little realization recently, so I was confident that I could deal with at least one Helena.
However. If Tarancio, who was probably strengthened by another master and Helena’s consciousness, is added to it, it is a heavy burden.
‘I don’t think I can do it with two masters.’
Assuming my level before enlightenment is the average of the masters, yes.
However, combat is not a theory, but a real battle, so you’ll have to try it.
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t use all my strength to safely rescue Elizabeth.
Because Luna and Luna were not good enough against the Master.
‘I guess that’s the only choice.’
It is to get Isabella’s help.
The enemies told me to go to my destination alone, but I had no intention of listening to what they said.
Infused magic into a silver brooch.
I then talked to Isabella, who should be connected through it.
– Isabella. Arrived in Poira.
– Yes, good job. How are the enemies moving?
She answered right away.
She has communicated with her in this way several times since coming this far.
In a way, you could call it a meeting.
The topic is, of course, how to rescue Elizabeth and defeat Helena.
We had discussed that the place designated by Baron Helena would not be easily entered without permission.
And when she arrived at Poira, she personally explored the place she announced, and there was a floating island.
Even with the naked eye, a powerful magic was cast on it, and it was fundamentally blocking access.
‘Of course… They will open the way for me.’
Because the floating island itself could also be a trap.
So I planned to summon Isabella after landing on the island.
She It didn’t take much magical power to summon her.
Of course, it was significant in absolute terms, but compared to the amount of mana I had accumulated, the percentage was not high.
I told Isabella about my findings and her plans.
She listened to me quietly,
– Hee hee hee. Also. This sister has to step in!
He answered casually.
Even if she helps, it won’t be easy.
The floating island is the enemy’s courtyard and is an unknown territory to us.
Tarancio, the master who is believed to be Isabella’s stalker. And Helena, who makes a point.
If you look at the power that has already been revealed, it was absolutely formidable.
– Yes, be prepared. I’ll summon you as soon as I arrive on the island tomorrow.
– Okay.
I needed to do my best.
After I cut off communication with Isabella, I sat cross-legged.
I closed my eyes and looked inside.
Sub-dimensional.
The space used to store my magical power was noticeably wider than a few days ago.
Nevertheless, the space was filled with compressed magic,
I felt another sub-dimensional space.
A circuit of magical power that passes from one sub-dimension to another sub-dimension and leads to my body.
The realization I gained was to convert the power obtained in the process of circulation into a power that transcends time and space.
I drew a mock battle with Helena again with my eyes closed.
My movements were concise, but those concise movements shattered Helena’s everything.
‘I can win enough.’
After that, I spent time circulating my mana and keeping my body in optimal condition.
So when I opened my eyes after a long time.
The sun was rising through the window.
The day of the final battle has finally dawned.
* * *
“If the situation arises, we will help.”
Ella, the daughter of the Margrave of Poira, saw us off.
I looked at a floating island floating in the air in the distance.
The island lay in the upper part of the glacier-floating North Sea.
And only in that area was there a blizzard raging non-stop.
“I wish you luck, juniors.”
Ella also seems to know the general situation from hearing about it.
Due to time constraints, she did not get to meet the changekeeper in person, but seeing the hard faces of dozens of knights lined up behind her, it was conveyed that Poira was taking the floating island quite seriously.
Ella’s expression is relaxed… Maybe it’s because she has Isabella as her teacher.
Isabella was quite good at pretending to be laid-back, so she was contagious to her master.
“Sure. I will depart.”
I lightly greeted Ella.
Luna, who stood there silently, cast a ‘play’ magic.
To me and Ruina.
Then, the body began to rise little by little into the air.
The distance to the floating island wasn’t that far, so I decided to entrust myself to magic.
As the altitude gradually increased, the ground gradually became smaller.
At some point, only Luna and Ruina were left around me.
Luna didn’t say anything, but she had a very nervous expression.
Looks like Helena is being pressured by her that much.
“Are you okay?”
“Yes. Are you okay.”
Luna nodded her head in response to my question.
She has the ability to foresee her future.
That’s why I couldn’t help but ask.
From noble mtl dot com
“Will Helena be killed?”
“Unfortunately, the results are unknown. Wisdom doesn’t necessarily show me what I want.”
“I see.”
Actually, whatever future Luna saw, she would have interpreted it in a good way for me.
Even if I had seen the future of losing to Helena, I wouldn’t have been discouraged.
While having a light small talk with Luna, I glanced at Luna.
She didn’t look particularly nervous.
She hadn’t exchanged a word with Louisa, except what was necessary, all the way here, because neither she nor she spoke to me first.
‘Come to think of it, they followed me all the way here without saying anything.’
To put it bluntly, whether or not Elizabeth was in danger was of no concern to Ruina.
Nevertheless, she followed me to this place without saying anything.
Even though she would be embarrassed to see my face as her own.
It’s a pretty altruistic act, so I thought it was a bit unexpected.
Ruina was looking at me in my gaze,
“Thank you. For following me all the way here.”
I brought up private words for the first time since I accompanied you.
Ruina replied to that.
Perhaps it was conscious of Luna, but with respect.
“I’m glad you seem to have helped.”
“… It was helpful. I don’t know why they asked you to come over there.”
My judgment was that it would probably be quite dangerous.
Rather, Ruina is much more dangerous than me.
I have the power to protect myself, but Ruina doesn’t have that.
Besides, she didn’t have a good relationship with me, so there was no one to protect her.
“…… “
“I followed you because I wanted to, so don’t waste your energy on protecting me. Few… Eugene will not be an easy opponent for you either.”
I felt a sense of responsibility when I said that.
She had no idea that her Ruina should be sacrificed in place of her Erzebeth, apart from putting an end to her with her.
This was a problem between people before it was between men and women.
“No. I will try to keep you safe as much as possible.”
“… If that’s the case, then I’ll accept your heart.”
On the contrary, it felt quite ironic that we only had normal exchanges after we became South-South.
While thinking that, the floating island was rapidly approaching.
No, the altitude itself has already become similar to a floating island.
The volume of the floating island was quite large.
It’s bigger than most big cities.
I wondered how you could float something like this in the air.
I could feel that there was a protective barrier around the floating island, but the protective barrier didn’t push us away.
After crossing the protective barrier, the front appeared hazy as if there was fog.
However, my eyes, which transcend human limitations, had no difficulty in examining the surroundings even in that state.
The earth had a hideous red color.
The plants were bizarre, as if they were cannibals,
Chuck-.
When I got down to the floor, I saw two figures staring at me.
One was a masked man, the other a swarthy figure.
It was an established fact that the two were enemies.
Both of them seemed to be at the ‘master’ level.
“… Death Knight.”
Luna muttered a step behind me, and she seemed to be referring to the dingy figure.
With a distance of several hundred meters in between, the man in the mask opened his mouth.
“You came on your own. Eugene. I have been waiting for you.”
It contained enough mana to be heard clearly even from that distance.
The dark figure emitted red eyes and let out a grim voice.
[Lu… This… me… ]
Perhaps that guy was Tarancio or something.
There was no trace of Tarancio in that figure.
