35 – Guest(2)

They seemed to have prepared in advance after hearing the news of Damien and Silverine spreading in Wiesel.

He also knew that he had to deal with Silverin to catch Damian.

There was a high probability that it was their intention to cause the river to blow and turn to the edge of the empire.

If you have power in the empire, it would have been easier to deal with it if you had worked within that border.

“What are you going to do with Damian?”

“The child dies here.”

“… What crime have you committed?”

“Do not interfere any longer.”

Silverin sympathized with Damian.

What an odd fate. How twisted his life must have been to become a mortal enemy of these wizards at such a young age.

Before meeting Silverine, Damian was just a weak and poor little boy. It was normal to have no contact with a high-ranking aristocrat at all.

If it wasn’t for her, Damian might have already died without even knowing it.

Silverin stared at the blades of ice.

It belongs to middle-class magic, which is not special, but it will exert more power than high-level magic thanks to the extremely large number of them.

Furthermore, it is also compatible with attribute magic that Silverin mainly deals with. I have nothing to say other than that I was planning a way to deal with her in advance.

Most wizards will not be able to withstand that blade and will be torn apart.

But that was it.

The capital of the empire is in the warm south, so I wonder if the story of the northern people who live every day risking death hasn’t been told.

No matter how many heads there were, and no matter how different they were, they had virtually no effect on Silverin.

She wondered what their intentions were.

Did he decide that he would be willing to take the risk of extinction in order to catch Damian?

Or did he do it with arrogant confidence that he could handle Sylverine without difficulty?

“It is great magic. I was honestly surprised.”

“… .”

“I wonder who your master is.”

“You’re a different person from the four years old.”

“who?”

“He is the king of wizards.”

Silverin shook her head as if she was fed up.

After hearing that answer, I was convinced that it was the latter.

There were countless people who claimed to be the best wizards in the world.

mistakenly thinking that he was chosen by God

Idiots who crave power at any cost.

It was these people who faced the limits of their power and eventually dabbled in black magic and were destroyed.

It seemed unlikely that the conversation would end.

“I have no intention of abandoning my pupil.”

“I don’t think it’s going to end well.”

Silverin had no intention of dragging it on for long.

Magic began to gather around her.

“yes. I’ll listen when the story is over.”

“You will die here too.”

Silverin’s hair began to float slowly, as if gravity had disappeared.

And as if a total solar eclipse had come, the whole world went dark.

Little by little, flames rose from Silverin’s feet, completely enveloping her.

The wizards surrounding her were all agitated.

A level of magic pressure they had never felt before in their lives was pressing them down.

This was the density of magical power far beyond human level.

Even though most of them were middle-class wizards, they could not stand the magic pressure and collapsed one by one, biting bubbles.

And their eyes were not on Silverin.

At the same time as Silverin’s magical power burst out, an unknown being appeared in the sky.

shouted the sorcerer facing her.

“Sky, shoot towards the sky!”

There, that presence exuding an overwhelming sense of intimidation was pressuring them.

The blades of ice all turned and rushed into the dark sky.

“again!”

The wizards memorized spells while barely supporting themselves.

Thousands of ice blades appeared in the air again.

These again cut through the black void.

However, there was no blow to the unknown being in the sky.

The magic pressure was getting stronger.

The wizard facing Silverin couldn’t control his body properly and fell to his knees.

It was a rare and unusual sight for mages to collapse without enduring magic pressure.

Soon after, two eyes the size of a house appeared in the sky.

Its eyes were looking down at the ground, burning so fiercely that it dyed the whole world red.

This supernatural being, who seemed to have to kneel down and worship right now, was filled with anger and malice towards the things of the earth.

Even those who fled were unable to overcome the magic pressure and fell flat on the floor, crawling.

***

One minute feels like an hour.

I don’t know anything about mages, so there’s no way to deal with them head-on.

It must be recognized and accepted. I’m not yet skilled enough to deal with a wizard.

For now, the best thing to do is to believe in Silverine and wait.

I kept my eyes on the carriage window.

The fog slowly began to lift.

At the same time as the field of vision widened, strange movements began to be seen among the trees next to the wagon.

There is something.

They approached our wagon while Silverin left.

They appeared as they came out of the forest.

The assailants wearing robes and masks.

Similar to the ones I saw in my dreams.

They were gradually closing the gap with the wagons by gradually creating an encirclement.

“Damn it.”

Lyria and the maids are also dangerous.

The moment I opened the carriage door and was about to leave, Silverin’s words came to mind.

‘The inside of the carriage is the safest.’

Did Sylverine have everything in mind that a situation like this would come?

The moment I hesitated for a while.

A shadow fell over my head for a moment, as if the sunlight had been blocked.

It went dark several times, and soon it became completely dark like night.

“What is this… .”

What happened to Silverin?

Immediately, a long line of light came up on both sides of the wagon, and flames soared.

aaa

In the blink of an eye, it stretched to the sky with terrifying momentum and surrounded the wagons as a curtain of fire.

“teacher… sir?”

The flames were so ferocious that even getting close to them seemed to turn them into black charcoal.

Moreover, huge fireballs were coming down from the sky to the ground.

bang! bang!

These mercilessly hit the ground and made an explosion sound.

Screams of pain pierced the roar of flames and rang out from beyond the curtain.

“Keah, the lights won’t go out!”

“aaagh!”

“My, my, my body!”

“Retreat, retreat!”

In an instant, the quiet forest road was transformed into a living hell of Abi Gyu-hwan.

***

The village was filled with smoke that scorched flesh.

The group of wizards surrounding her are all dead.

Kneeling down as if to worship God, they all turned to a pile of black charcoal.

Silverin grabbed the hair of the headman and dragged him somewhere.

After leaning her against a brick wall, the mask was removed.

It was a woman in her thirties with long silver hair and nasolabial folds on her face.

It is assumed that he appeared in Damian’s dream.

Silverin said in an emotionless tone.

“How does it feel to face a real king?”

The woman bit her lip.

she was terrified

“… .”

“Words won’t work.”

“Are you going to torture me?”

“…”

“Four years will find no evidence.”

They were very careful. According to Silverine, all the wizards she accompanied were hired mercenaries.

This woman was the only one who could be assumed to be directly involved, and must have been severely trained not to blow anything.

Silverin also had a hunch from the beginning that the interrogation would not be easy.

“I don’t use that old-fashioned way.”

Silverin took out a ring with a green gem from her bosom and put it on her finger.

Nielgra’s Eye.

It was the highest level artifact that could dig the truth from the depths if it controlled the target’s mind.

The artifact I had been thinking about using for Damian before.

It was more of an expendable item that could not be used indefinitely, but I was willing to use it to dig out the truth about Damian.

“…!”

When the woman recognized the identity of the artifact and tried to bite her tongue, Silverin immediately activated the artifact.

Her ring reacted with magic and emitted a green glow.

Soon after, the eyes of the woman who was dominated by Nielgra’s eyes flipped over to reveal the whites of her eyes.

“Ugh, that.”

However, the woman’s reaction was strange.

The woman’s body gnashed her teeth as if her body was rejecting it.

Seeing this, Silverin was convinced.

‘It must be a wizard family.’

Only the wizarding family planted a device in their vassals and blood relatives to cause rejection to such mind-altering magic.

In this situation, it was impossible to get the desired answer. If the interrogation is not ended quickly, this woman will die of rejection.

Silverin went straight to the point.

“Are you a hired wizard?”

“That pole, no, everything.”

“What is your name?”

“Eld, Reese. P, Pp, Uggeuk”

She didn’t say her last name properly. Seeing it as strange, Silverin immediately changed the question.

“What is the name of the master you serve?”

“mind. Of the wizards, wow, the king.”

‘I knew it.’

As expected, the trigger was set so that he could not answer direct questions about his family.

“Why did you try to kill Damian?”

“Ugh, danger, element, that pole, contact to, approach all, almost, nonsense.”

“What lies?”

“… Mars, Stus, Control, that extreme.”

It was difficult for Sylverin to understand. Are you talking about the masters class?

Hard to control Damian?

“What’s your relationship with Damian?”

“The pole, the top, the danger, the element.”

“A risk factor?”

Is Damian a danger to them and out of control once he enters the masters class?

Or does it mean something else?

Silverin agonized for a moment.

“Is there anyone from your family in Eternia?”

“That’s it, that’s that, that’s that.”

The rejection reaction in the woman’s body became extreme. Foam came out of his mouth and his limbs were gradually twisting.

Clearly there is something.

And then, a question passed through Silverin’s mind.

It was the mage family and the transfer of magical power.

These two had a very strong connection to Damian’s abnormal magic recovery ability.

A family of wizards looking for Damian.

strong bond.

And someone in Eternia.

The puzzle was gradually being put together.

And finally, Silverin was able to intuit the full extent of this situation.

Her chest sank heavily.

And Silverin slowly asked the last question.

“Damian and… What’s your relationship with that kid at the academy?”

The woman could not overcome the rejection reaction and her head exploded.
