58 – Warlock (2)

“Wizard, is there anything I can help you with?”

“I’m running out of mana!”

Fran was standing on top of the castle wall, eagerly blocking the warlocks’ artillery fire.

She wasn’t alone in trying.

All the officials and knights next to him did their best to assist Franc.

If he had seen him defend against a massive artillery bombardment that would shake the ground of the city, of course he had to help Fran.

Because if it wasn’t for Fran, the shelling couldn’t be stopped.

If the shelling cannot be stopped, there is no way to protect the fleeing citizens.

If that happens, surely many people will die.

“Here is the mana potion!”

“thanks!”

Bump, boom!

Fran, who drank one mana potion at once, concentrated again.

The more I use magic, the more I can clearly feel that the power of mana amplification given by the origin of the stars is enormous.

If the origins of the stars are in her hands again, she has the confidence to protect everyone.

But that’s Argal’s thing.

In addition, it is also an important lifeline that extends a person’s lifespan.

“Here, I’ll have to hold on alone!”

Frank made up his mind and drew mana with a handful obtained from the mana potion, and then opened the barrier again.

Large dark magic bombs began to fall from the sky, and this time they showed a miracle of blocking.

However, the warlocks weren’t stupid, and there was no reason to just fire at them seeing that they kept getting blocked.

With the sound of someone’s head exploding. It announces that the real raid has begun.

Pooh!

“Kyaaah!”

“It’s undead!”

“Sah, save me! I’ll go in first!”

A corpse that cannot die.

How terrifying it was to see such a corpse kill the living by brisk jumping, not by staggering steps.

The citizens who barely kept order and entered the castle fell into chaos, and countless crowds poured out recklessly in order to survive.

“You must keep order!”

“If you go in like that, it will be rather slow!”

The knights were taken aback when they saw the citizens pouring out of the city gates, but they couldn’t erase the fear engraved in that large crowd.

In addition, the undead began to pour in in an almost legion scale.

– Spoken!

-Kikiiik!

– Kyaaagh!

“Here we will go!”

“Calm the people down, I will stop you!”

At this point, the apprentice knights stepped forward.

Like Ardel, they also had the ability to cut down the undead.

As if the confidence was not false, the undead were knocked down by the apprentice’s knife.

As soon as they were convinced that their swords could work, they became more bold and protected the citizens.

On the surface, the knights bravely stepped out to save the citizens and seemed to overcome the crisis.

But it’s like that for a while.

The knight who was watching from behind was frightened.

“Get out of there right now!”

“Yes? what are you wearing… .”

Slow-!

A black longsword passed through the apprentice knight’s neck.

The sword, swung at an invisible speed, took a person’s life.

[As ordered.]

“few… !”

A huge presence weighed on everyone here.

A symbol of the undead.

A monster called the highest point that the undead can reach.

The whole body was only a skeleton without a single muscle, but the whole body was covered with dark demonic energy.

An undead that shows swordsmanship that can slaughter anyone with the driving force of demons.

the moment it appears.

It instilled hopelessness in everyone.

“It’s a Death Knight!”

“All apprentice knights, get away from there!”

Slow-!

“Quaaagh!”

Every time the Death Knight’s sword moves, another person is split in half.

All of the apprentice knights who stepped out with confidence ran away from the Death Knight.

“Now, wait a minute, what about those people?”

If it collapsed like this, Franc could no longer maintain the barrier.

In any case, the barrier was used to block the bombardment of black magic.

However, there was too little mana to create another barrier to block the Death Knight.

Even if it could be made, the size of the barrier would be very small.

Because the power of the Death Knight is so strong.

The official next to Fran shook his head.

“I can’t help it. Wizard, the Death Knight is an enemy you can’t handle.”

“Still, if all the knights rush at you, can’t you catch them?”

Antony wasn’t the only apprentice knight.

There were also several official articles that managed the apprentice articles, and in her eyes, she was able to catch the Death Knight with this much power.

But officials denied it.

“Even if you can catch it, it’s a problem because it won’t end if you just catch the Death Knight. You never know what those cunning warlocks will do the moment all the knights gather.”

“Ugh… .”

Fran was heartbroken.

Is there no way?

Unlike the lower level Undead, who instinctively rushed only to covet the living, the Death Knight was loftily moving towards people.

Frank did not want to abandon the citizens who had not yet entered the castle.

I know the majesty of the Death Knight, but when I look at it calmly, I see it as a strong person close to a high-level demon.

As Fran, who had previously caught high-level demons, she knew that it was not an opponent to be afraid of.

Of course, she didn’t catch it herself, Reinhardt did the first, Argal did the second, and the professor did the third, but looking at the process so far, I knew that it wasn’t impossible to catch it.

And finally, the fact that she was practically driven to death by a necklace.

It was Raeli who came all the way here in a hurry to solve the problem.

As soon as Fran saw Raeli, she immediately asked.

I ran here because I was in a hurry, but it was because I had unresolved concerns.

“What are you doing here? And what happened to Argal?!”

“Ah, first of all, I have a lot of work, and Argal is fine! Look at City Hall trying to prepare for the black magic in the sky!”

As far as Fran knew, Argal was a wizard of the highest class, with no one to compare him to except for his professor.

If there was a law of destruction that only he could know, he could believe it, but he was also relieved.

I was also worried that I would commit a foolish thing to jump into the battlefield and fight for my life this time, but fortunately it wasn’t this time.

“Then I’m glad. And what is Raeli going to do?”

“why? If you are in a hurry, would you like me to fight with you?”

“Nope. It’s not… .”

Fran turned her head and looked at the battlefield in front of her.

Look at the Death Knight approaching like an executioner and the countless Undead legions behind them.

It is a battlefield that cannot be overturned by a single swordsman.

At least if it’s an expert level, I don’t know.

Even if Raeli helped, it was meaningless.

“If you want to save those citizens, there is no way.”

“…Look at that undead ferocity. There certainly seems to be no way.”

“It can’t be helped.”

When Fran was trying hard not to blame herself for not being able to save the citizens, she found it in Raeli’s hand.

“…what is that?”

“What Argal told me to deliver to you.”

“Is it okay if I give it to you?”

“Thanks to the elixir, there is no lifespan problem.”

Frank swallowed.

I couldn’t solve everything with that one, but I was able to earn some time to save people for a while.

The Death Knight got closer and closer, and the soldiers tried to close the gate.

The soldier made an excuse to the angry citizens who asked why it was closed when they hadn’t even entered yet.

“If the Death Knight suddenly rushes into the castle gate in this situation, there will be a bigger disaster, so I can’t help it!”

“Then what about us!”

“Survive on your own!”

That is so irresponsible.

Doesn’t that mean everyone dies in the end?

Fran couldn’t stand it any longer.

Fran took the necklace as if she had taken it from Raeli and began pouring her magical energy into the star’s roots.

In the end, it was Fran who was able to make the most of the origin of the star.

Through amplification, a greater amount of mana permeated into the body.

Even though she felt the pain as if her entire body would be torn apart, she gained a sense of omnipotence.

A sense of omnipotence that can kill anything with a single gesture.

However, there is a risk of misinformation.

The location of the Death Knight and the location of the citizens became too close.

If you fire a bombardment here, innocent people will be swept away as well.

So, she chose to buy time.

Fran shouted at the bureaucrat.

“Trust me! Do not close the gates yet!”

“Yes? Then even the Death Knight will enter the castle.”

“I’m going to stop you, so it’s okay!”

The official was momentarily confused, but the bluish light in Fran’s eyes strained him.

If you don’t listen to me, I feel like I’ll die first.

“Don’t close the door!”

“Yes? Are you okay?”

“Don’t close it for now!”

The gate that was about to close stopped again, and behind the citizens who forcibly pushed their bodies into the narrow gap in the wall that hadn’t been fully closed, the Death Knight swung with his sword filled with demonic energy.

It is clear to anyone who sees that a considerable range will be wiped out.

However, soon a large barrier was formed in front of the Death Knight.

Quagga gagagak!

A different level of power fell like a bomb on the barrier.

There was a big difference in quality between a small barrier that could only protect herself and a large barrier that would protect all citizens.

Frank feels a fishy metal smell in his mouth.

It was because he used magic that he could not bear.

“A little longer, I will hold on.”

die as little as possible.

it should be everything could have ended peacefully.

Magi, born from people’s deaths, will kill more people.

The Death Knight didn’t break the barrier no matter how much she swung her sword, and from a certain point on, she started crushing the barrier at an invisible speed as if she was running out of control.

Bang-bang-bang-bang-bang!

Fine gold was visible on the barrier.

At the same time Fran’s expression darkened, he looked at the black magic bombardment falling from the other side.

“No… .”

Very little time was running out.

Lastly, even if you look at the number of people who couldn’t enter the castle, one hundred.

When I was worried about whether I should be satisfied here.

A large light collided with the artillery fire falling from the sky.

**

Kwaaang! bang!!

“I don’t know if I’ll be able to sleep tonight.”

My brother muttered so.

The bombardment fell in real time, and perhaps thanks to the barrier blocking the bombardment, the vibration could be felt even as we headed towards City Hall, the most central part of the city.

But there was no turning back.

It’s not my job to block the bombardment and the undead.

My older brother could see with his own eyes that he wanted to do that, but he had no intention of letting it happen.

It didn’t take long to get to City Hall.

It’s not luxurious, but I saw a sufficiently sophisticated building, and as if the mayor had left a comment, an employee ran to me.

“I will see you.”

“i get it.”

The clerk guided me through the city hall, explaining one by one the items I needed that were available right now.

I nodded, called out the items I needed right away, and the employee continued to assist me by passing on the words to another employee.

“Which room do you need?”

“The highest, and the greatest.”

“…There’s only one place like that, the mayor’s office.”

Then that would be great.

When I noticed that I wanted the mayor’s office, the staff was embarrassed.

Changseong, who silently followed him, said nonsense.

“…Mayor’s office, will it be all right to sleep?”

“I can bring a bed for you.”

“One bed is enough, as long as you don’t sleep on the floor, that’s fine.”

…What kind of life did she live, as if she was used to sleeping on the floor as an aristocrat, I didn’t really understand.

In any case, these conversations did not solve the employee’s difficulties.

“I will ask the mayor and come back!”

“Go.”

In the end, he hurriedly ran, as if he couldn’t solve it on his line.

While I was waiting without much thought, my older brother strangely noticed.

“…Is it okay to use the mayor’s office? I think there will be a lot of opposition.”

What can I do?

If you don’t want to blow up the city, give it to me.

It has already been confirmed that the mayor’s office will become my own black magic lab.

All I have left is an assistant to assist me.

I cannot complete all the analysis and disassembly by myself.

The most perfect assistant would be francs, but if you look at this and that.

The only person who could be used as an assistant was Changsung.

Looking at the window, he says.

“Assel, could you assist me inside the mayor’s office?”

“…that’s about it, I’ll help you.”

I shouldn’t openly reveal the fact that I’m a black magician.

No matter how much the mayor pushes me, it won’t be the bureaucrats or staff in the city hall.

So, I chose Asher as my assistant because he didn’t care if I was a warlock or he seemed to support me recklessly.

With Asher in front, just the two of us.

You will live in the mayor’s office.
