Episode 223
EPISODE.112
First item.
If there is a cause, there is also an effect. It was safe to say that the reports of subsequent items were in fact results derived from the cause of the first item.
That too─.
“A major defeat in the battle of the northeastern territory of the Calion Mountains. “Three units are moving south.”
“17 magic stone mines in the eastern part of the mountain range were taken over by the enemy.”
“The damage to our troops is… … The damage to our country’s soldiers is… … .」
“Currently, the speed of retreat has slowed, but the front line has retreated about 70km compared to before.”
“The Ier granary area exists just over 100km away. Currently, there is talk in the upper echelons of Kiel that they must prepare for a life-threatening resistance.”
─Very disastrous results… … .
“This is the entire report.”
The Minister of Military Affairs said, pressing his aching temple as if he was tired just from reading the report.
Except for Daria and Russell, everyone else present already knew this.
However, I couldn’t help but sigh every time I heard it.
In a heavily subdued atmosphere -.
“grandee.”
The King, Alfonso Ratmos, spoke.
“I know you haven’t recovered from your travels, but I think I should go to Kiyel.”
Now that Areks Kaylen has fallen, someone had to take his place.
The king chose Russell as the right person. At that moment, there was someone who objected to the king’s decision.
“your majesty.”
Daria had a calm, subdued voice that was somehow a few notes lower than usual.
“Can this old man say something?”
“Speak comfortably.”
After the king’s permission was given, Daria opened her mouth.
“If someone has to go to Kiyel in this situation, I think it should be this old man rather than my student.”
“The Lord said I have to go… … .”
The King nodded, as if he had an idea.
“Is it because there are two superhumans on the empire’s side?”
She was the one who watched and guided Russell’s growth process more closely than anyone else.
That’s why Daria never underestimated Russell’s skills.
On the contrary, it was highly regarded. In fact, if there were players of the same level competing against each other, Russell would win with a score of 6 or 7.
However, even so, there is no denying the fact that he is a rookie among superhumans.
Moreover, aren’t there not just one opponents, but two?
“… … .”
Daria did not respond, and the King laughed softly, not fitting for the atmosphere.
“Even though it’s a situation like this, Sir’s obliviousness makes Jim laugh.”
“… … ?”
“Maybe it’s because he’s still a young student, but he seems to care especially about me.”
Perhaps Daria is now projecting her son’s image onto her youngest student.
The king thought so.
Although they didn’t have the same face, Daria’s son was also very handsome.
If he had grown up, he would have grown up to be a wizard similar to Russell.
“hmm.”
The King continued speaking after a brief speech.
“However, Sir, you failed to calculate one thing.”
“You mean one thing?”
“I see.”
The King bowed his head.
“To Lord Shin Seong-gong, he is the youngest disciple, but to me he is the son-in-law. “I heard there is a father-in-law who pushes his son-in-law to his death?”
The King moved his hand.
I received another report from the Minister of Military Affairs and immediately turned it over.
Palak-.
“According to additional reports, although he was forced to retreat because he was on the defensive, fortunately, Sir Areks’ situation did not seem to be at the point where he had to leave the battlefield. Although the military doctor said that there was a bit of bleeding and that the shoulder injury was a concern… … .”
The contents of the meticulously written report are revealed for Russell and Daria to see.
“It looks like he, too, is burning up his fighting spirit.”
Instead of Russell taking on both superhumans by himself, it’s two versus two.
The explanation is that each person only needs to be hit by one person to fight.
“Would you please go to Kiyello? grandee?”
Russell got down on one knee, facing the King’s gaze that looked beyond Daria and towards him.
I bowed down and shouted.
“Russell Raymond, Prince of the Kingdom. “I will follow your Majesty’s orders and show the kingdom’s power to the empire’s thugs.”
He then added:
“Just one thing… … .”
“… … ?”
“There is something I would like to ask you.”
“ask?”

Russell raised his head at the king’s confused voice.
“Please ask Kiyel to clear the skyway.”
.
.
The news that Russell dealt with the red dragon was one of the top secrets known only to a very small number of people within Endymion.
Although it flew over the sky of the royal capital twice, it was done at such a high altitude that very few people witnessed it.
“Surely, if I were to fly on that child, I could cut the time to reach the battlefield by less than half. Even the enemies must feel like they were caught off guard.”
After the meeting, Hecate muttered while fixing Russell’s shirt collar when they were alone.
Although it was a time-consuming task, there were various preparations to be made, so there was about two hours left.
Sarah-.
“Even though I said I wouldn’t say that, I probably was upset on the inside, so I scolded you several times for walking around outside… … .”
Finally, she stretched out the hem of her dress and lightly licked her lips as if she was disappointed.
“I guess we can’t even do that this time.”
“Hecate.”
Hecate continued speaking while hearing Russell’s voice calling her name.
“Now that I think about it, the robe you’re wearing is very old.”
“… … “Is it a robe?”
Contrary to its seemingly ordinary appearance, the robe Russell was wearing was only provided by the Flame Tower to mages of the 5th circle or higher.
It is a robe that is enchanted to not only regulate temperature but also maintain a certain level of cleanliness.
So not only did it not get fluffed, but it didn’t even get dirty.
But it’s very old.
‘Hecate probably doesn’t know that either.’
Hecate pretended not to notice Russell’s gaze and sent a signal.
“Bring it with you.”
Then, as if they had been waiting, the maids entered the room where the two were.
He was holding a fairly large wooden box in his hand.
Click-.
When the wooden box was opened, a crimson-colored robe was revealed, and Hecate herself picked it up and wrapped it around Russell’s neck.
“I think this robe will suit you well.”
Perhaps out of consideration for Russell, who usually wears a robe on his shoulders, this robe has a similar appearance to a cloak.
I could feel the magical flow, which showed that it had the same function as the Flame Tower’s robe.
If there’s anything a little more different… … .
‘dragon?’
Is it just that the dragon pattern is embroidered with gold thread on the shoulder area?
Russell’s gaze naturally turned towards the pattern he had not seen before, and that was then.
“This is a pattern that Her Majesty the Princess herself designed in collaboration with heraldists.”
One of the maids who came in with the robe, who looked quite old, muttered with a smile on her face.
“How many nights did you lose sleep to create this pattern? … .”
A woman who has taken care of Hecate since childhood, and therefore can be said to be quite innocent for a maid.
It was the nanny.
“What nonsense.”
Hecate, with an embarrassed expression, slapped the nurse and pushed her away.
I lowered my head slightly and tried to hide my red cheeks with my long flowing hair, but it was already too late.
In the end, all that was left was to obediently acknowledge the nanny’s words.
“Hmm. “It wasn’t a few days, I just cut back on sleep for about three days.”
With this, I received two items from Hecate, excluding the dragon horn. She said as she smoothed the brooch and robe that still hung on Russell’s chest.
“I cannot go with you, but please think of these items as mine and return together safely.”
A few hours later.
At the beginning of the Caerion Mountains, which Endymion and Kiel use as the border of their territory, a dragon with red scales flew into the sky.
.
.
Although he re-entered the battlefield with his fighting spirit burning, strictly speaking, Areks Kailen’s body could not be said to be in perfect condition.
If I had to put a numerical value on it, it would be… … No, maybe about eight-and-a-half.
Even though I felt it myself, I felt like my breathing had slowed down by about half due to the movement of my body. It was amazing.
Well, it was a wound from a battle between superhumans.
No matter how many potions you use, it would be close to impossible to completely recover from such wounds in just a few days.
However, despite this, Areks Kaylen went to the battlefield again.
I didn’t just go out with the intention of avenging the defeat that day.
Since the battle that day, the two superhumans of the empire have not been seen, but isn’t the situation in which they are suffering repeated defeats and retreats?
Someone needed to step forward and turn the situation around.
Moreover, if we were pushed out a little further from here, wouldn’t it be the breadbasket of Ier?
The Ier granary is responsible for about 30% of Kiel’s wheat production.
I could fully understand why the high-ranking officials in Kiel insisted on a life-threatening resistance.
Of course, this was the result.
bang!
A hammer imbued with aura struck the entire space, clearing away the lightning.
“Tsk-!”
For a split second, the electric shock that could not be fully dissipated made his grip tingle, and Areks, frowning grimly, suppressed the moan that was about to escape.
Even though they won the battle, they had not even been seen with their noses in the past few days.
It was obvious why those guys chose this moment to appear in front of him.
Superhuman hunting.
‘He must be determined to catch me.’
The moment when the outstretched hammer was half recovered!
The twin swords rush in like a moon, dividing the moment from moment to moment.
Kagagagak—!
The long hilt of the war hammer collided with the twin swords, sparks flew out, and Aureus fragments fluttered in all directions, while Arex’s large figure took a few steps back.
It wasn’t because he lost in a power struggle with Ziabol. However, it was because I felt a stiffening sensation in my lower back under my feet.
Sure enough, it’s canceled!
A thunderbolt soars backwards into the sky from the ground he was just standing on!
It was a magic backlash that I had encountered several times in the previous day’s battle.
A bizarre magic that focuses on increasing the paralysis characteristic of lightning magic rather than reducing its power!
‘If you get hit by that lightning, the flow will be cut off… … !’
How many times have you already been in trouble because of that?
“I feel it all the time, but it has a really good feel compared to its large size.”
Walter Piglet, who narrowly missed the target, stroked his beard in regret.
He whetted his appetite with an expression that had already confirmed his victory.
“But definitely, I’m moving slower than the day before.”
Right at that moment!
Once again, I felt the hairs on my whole body stand up, and I heard the voice of the Ssanggeomsu, Ziabol, right behind me.
“It’s like shaking your butt back and forth with that big guy. Wouldn’t it have been better to learn to dance? “Big!”
‘Ugh, the back is-!’
It’s not good to block the hammer’s trajectory by bending it, so it would be better –
‘Even if I had to take the damage, I would get this squirrel-like guy out of here…’ … .’
Dying together is not a common cause.
Yukchambone bone (肉斬骨斷) -.
‘Give me the flesh and take the bones!’
To do this, it was first necessary to give up part of the flesh.
The moment he was about to endure the pain from the trajectory of the twin swords flying towards his waist!
Squeak, quack, quack, quack!
Something flew from the sky and struck like a thunderbolt, blocking the gap between the two.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
“What is this-!?”
Ziabol Niggle’s face is distorted by the spear of flame that appears out of nowhere and blocks his path!
The five fire spears resonated at once.
A huge explosion covered the area.
Kwagwagwagwa-!
wizard who swallowed a dragon
