Chapter 145
Episode 145
There was silence.
If I had spoken a little sooner, I would have stopped swinging my sword.
Of course, I had no intention of doing so.
Even after taking that into account, they spoke too late.
“Ah…”
The elder’s eyes became the size of a lantern as he stared blankly at the decapitated undead.
“Ah…”
She walked towards me slowly, holding her chest.
The warlocks glared at me, leaving her actions alone.
The 3rd prince, who was caught in their hands, was biting his lips tightly and could not bear to look at me.
His face was slightly red, as if he was ashamed of being caught by them.
“I’m sorry.”
The 3rd prince gritted his teeth and spoke with difficulty.
His face and limbs were not healthy when he spoke.
It looked like he was beaten while resisting to avoid being caught.
-I’m sorry human. Couldn’t stop it.
The hatchling’s displeased voice was heard.
“It’s okay, just focus on your magic.”
-I get it! It’s over soon!
The magic the hatchling was preparing was nearing its end.
A huge magic circle appeared in the sky and a vast amount of mana gathered.
“What is that!”
“What are you doing now! “Why don’t you stop right now?!”
The faces of the warlocks looking up at the sky turned pale as if they had only just realized this.
“Why are you so surprised? I can’t believe wizards are so dull. Don’t go anywhere and say you’re a wizard. Well, I can’t get out, but…”
I looked down at Mu-myeong, who was still on fire.
The fire should have been extinguished by now, but somehow it kept burning like a torch full of oil.
Unlike the intense heat it gave off, the heat didn’t do me any harm.
The fire had no effect on me, as if it had a will.
“Are you saying it’s okay for your comrade to die?!”
“If you don’t stop this right away, this guy will die!”
The warlocks continued to shout as if they were tired.
Hurry and stop the magic.
If you don’t stop, I will kill the 3rd prince.
They’re threatening me.
‘You got the wrong opponent.’
That magic wasn’t mine to use.
It was used by hatchlings, and hatchlings had enormous hostility towards undead and warlocks.
The hatchling’s eyes were so blind that he would go crazy if he wasn’t killed right away.
It was clear that he wasn’t listening to anything I said.
And stopping the magic that has already been completed is a huge blow to the hatchling.
“why me?”
There was no reason for me to stop using that magic because of the 3rd prince.
If the 3rd prince dies, it will be difficult.
The empire will reprimand you and try to hold you accountable.
But that was it.
He was an important person to me. I would feel bad if he died, but it didn’t matter much to me beyond that.
If he got in the way as a hostage here, I could resolutely abandon him.
“What what?”
“He’s your colleague!”
My relationship with him was not that good to be considered a colleague.
Now we’re getting to know each other a little bit.
“Comrade…”
I glanced at the 3rd prince.
He felt my gaze and lowered his head even more.
He must be aware that we are not close enough to take responsibility for each other’s lives.
That much will make your head spin.
Because he knew that, he didn’t even scream for me to save him.
‘But if you can save it, there’s no reason not to.’
It didn’t matter if he died, but he was alive and could help me.
It’s okay to die, but it’s good to live.
He was just like that to me now.
“What… What…”
“Not a colleague?”
Only then did the warlocks who began to notice the relationship between me and the 3rd prince begin to panic.
As if they couldn’t believe it, they thrust the blade they were holding at the 3rd prince with shaking eyes.
I remained calm.
If I show even the slightest sign of being agitated here, they will catch it and put pressure on me.
He feigned as much calmness as possible and gave off the air that he could kill.
I even yawned on purpose, as if I was bored with their behavior.
“Ah…”
The third prince’s face turned black when he saw me.
He too was deceived.
I could see what he was thinking, but he didn’t bother to correct it.
It is said that if you want to deceive your enemy, you must also deceive your allies.
If the 3rd prince is fooled, it can cause double confusion to the warlocks.
“shit! “This didn’t mean anything!”
“What do we do? “I don’t think we can win.”
They muttered among themselves as they looked down at the 3rd prince.
The elder could not be seen where he had gone.
It appeared that he had run away while dealing with the undead and while he was distracted by them.
Otherwise, there was no way there would be no reaction upon seeing the undead with its head cut off.
Even though he went crazy and ran at me, he ran at me a hundred times.
I
took a step forward.
The sound of blades of grass being trampled underfoot broke the silence.
“Don’t come too close!”
“stop!”
The voices of the warlocks trembled as they looked at me as I approached them.
Knowing that hostages were useless, they looked for other methods.
The only way for them to survive was as undead, but that method has just disappeared.
So there was no way for them to survive.
“Aaaahhh”
one of them screamed and ran towards me.
He dodged the dark spear held by the warlock and stretched out his hand to grab his neck.
“Keueoeook.”
He broke the neck of the distressed bastard and plunged the name into his chest.
Rumbling –
The flames burned fiercely and engulfed the warlock’s entire body.
A warlock was burned at the stake without a scream.
He pushed aside the warlock who had turned into ashes and continued walking.
“Ugh…”
Perhaps because he was frightened by the cruel hand, he relaxed his grip on the 3rd prince.
The 3rd prince left the spot immediately.
To a place beyond the reach of the warlock.
I looked at that and took a small breath.
“You tricked me!”
The warlock saw that and glared at me.
They were angry that I had tricked them.
I did not deny it because it was not wrong.
Having lost the 3rd prince, he has lost his only glimmer of hope for survival.
“Profit… damn it!”
The warlock shouted in exasperation, turned his back and started running away.
Because he had no confidence in dealing with me, he chose to run away rather than fight.
It wasn’t a bad choice.
But I had no intention of losing him.
As I was running towards him, I noticed something strange.
‘Is that where the undead are?’
The warlock was running towards the spot where the undead I had just killed was.
I don’t know what was going through his mind, but I had a feeling that nothing good would come of him approaching the undead.
“die.”
It was time to quickly catch up and swing the nameless weapon.
Rumbling –
Flames formed where Nameless passed through the air and then disappeared.
“what?”
The warlock who was in front of me just moments ago disappeared in an instant.
No, it didn’t disappear.
Black tentacles wrapped around the warlock’s body and lifted it up.
When I looked closely at the tentacle, I could see that it was made up of countless hands.
“Oh, no! “I can’t die like this!”
The warlock caught by the hands screamed and struggled to escape from the hands.
The struggle did not last long.
Crack, cluck.
The warlock’s body was crushed as if a juicer had been turned on.
What is surprising is that the blood that should come out when the body is torn and broken does not fall to the ground.
The blood that flowed from the wound flowed down the hand and into the undead body.
Clumping clumping.
A change occurred in the undead’s body.
The centipede’s lower body shriveled and was sucked into the human body.
The centipede’s body disappeared and its sturdy lower body took its place.
Fighting.
The undead stood up.
The guy clenched his fist with his human body.
“The second round starts now or something?”
Fortunately, the fire has not yet been extinguished.
The magic was fluttering as if it was about to shoot out at any moment.
[I will kill you!]
The guy who had absorbed all the dead mana around him glared at me and shouted.
His angry voice rang out like thunder.
However, I didn’t feel much of a sense of crisis.
-Humanity is over! Get out of the way with the weak humans!
Because the hatchling has perfected the magic.
I left without hesitation.
[Where are you going!]
I waved my name away from the guy who was following me and ran towards the 3rd prince who ran away.
“Le… Emond?”
“Hold on to my clothes tightly.”
I lifted the 3rd prince, who was looking up at me blankly, onto my shoulders and ran to a place where the magic’s aftereffects could not reach.
[Freeze, world!]
The proverb that only the Eucharist can be used came from a hatchling.
The magic that the hatchling was preparing was a preparation process for using verbs.
As it took a long time, the effect was enormous.
Whioooooooo-
A strong snow storm filled the place where the undead were.
[Kaaaaaaah!]
The undead screamed and moved to escape from the snowstorm.
Damn it!
Even faster than that, the area near where the undead were began to freeze.
Ice formed in the area where the snow touched, freezing the undead’s body.
The body froze faster than cutting the body and removing the ice.
“You’re crazy.”
This was one of my thoughts on seeing that scene.
It’s crazy.
There was no other way to express it.
The hatchling’s power to freeze everything in an instant was astounding.
I could see that dragons were not the strongest creatures on earth for nothing.
I had no idea how strong the adult would be to show such strength even from the time of the hatchling.
And I became afraid.
The dragons would never stay still if they saw a hatchling with me, so the thought of turning them into enemies was daunting.
[…!]
The undead could not walk even a few steps and froze in place.
The frozen body looked like it would never thaw no matter how hot it was.
That would have been enough, but the hatchling didn’t seem satisfied with that either.
[Break it!]
Yongeon hit the undead who had turned into an ice statue.
The ice broke into pieces and turned into powder.
[Melt!]
The power of the third expression was weak.
The hatchling’s body was trembling as she used verbs, as if she was still having a hard time handling it.
Although the power was much lower than the first time, it was still enough to melt all the ice powder.
-Human… I’m having a hard time.
The hatchling, who had completely erased the seemingly strong undead from the world with three attacks, flew helplessly into my arms.
The 3rd prince had already fainted from the power of the term used by the hatchling.
“Ah… When are you going to move this again? “How can I explain that?”
The thought of having to deal with the Count already filled my eyes.
It’s good that the work was completed quickly, but beyond that, things turned out too big.
It was obvious that the Millennium wizards would have to suffer for quite some time to resolve this.
“It’s none of my business.”
I shook my head.
For now, I decided to be satisfied with having dealt with the warlock.
If this had not been discovered in advance, the damage would have been quite severe.
So being satisfied with this level is not a bad thing.
“It’s a shame we lost the elder.”
However, it was very disappointing to miss the elder of the warlocks.
If I had caught her, I would have benefited a lot.
