Chapter 401 – Motivation

“Wow!”
“Oh!”
“Kyaaak!”
“Aww!”

Arrived on time.
I thought so against the backdrop of the surprised voices of my students.
I wanted to directly receive the children falling from the air, but the situation was too tight for that, so I used the air shield to catch it roughly.
Fortunately, all of them landed properly except for Ashita.

“Wow, wow…! That’s really what Drett said…!”

Admiring Mayal.
Whoops. I’m very proud of you.

Actually didn’t do anything.
I only figured out where and where the warp magic that wandered around randomly like a car on Serse was connected with my senses.
If Hurrut seemed to intervene in the middle, he blocked it with a slicing sword.
As a result, his warp magic became an appropriate means of transportation for me.

“Rius.”

When she handed Milia to Rius, he swallowed her saliva and became nervous, then stood in front of her to protect Milia.

Participants looking at me with wide eyes.
I raised my sword as if threatening them.

“Back off.”

Except for the man who grabbed my arm, the contestants in the finals stepped back one step at a time.
I saw the sword in my hand.
Did you try to kill Millia with this sword?

Absolutely, I didn’t feel anything.
In this situation, if you listen to hacks and all, you will doubt whether you are on the same side as Huroot.
Even if you don’t suspect it, isn’t this kind of behavior natural if you want to end the nightmare situation?
How can you stop the instinct to survive?

“…It’s a sword of madness.”
“I’m the instructor at that Prunar Academy.”
“Oh… That man.”

I don’t like the way they look at me as if they’re appreciative.
It narrows its eyes and swings it like a threat.
Then, in close range, I spoke to the man who was gulping his saliva with a surprised face.

“I’m telling you guys.”
“…”
“If you want to touch this woman even to the tip of her hair, she will have to deal with me first.”

Come big
Actually, I wanted to try something like this.
Even though I hated myself for showing off my instincts even in this situation, what should I do with what I want to do?
…Was a bit embarrassing. The reactions are also embarrassing.

“Oh, uh. Of course.”
“Yes. Of course.”

Participants protested.
Is it obvious It’s a matter of life.

“Is that so. Then I… Huh?”

What now…?

“No, what… Judging from her frightened attitude, she seems to be a victim like us…”
“That’s right. Isn’t that something we should rather protect?”
“There’s no guarantee that the damn old man’s words are true.”

“…”

Uh huh
Not the reactions I expected…?
As soon as I arrived, Milia looked at her stunned face saying, “Oh fuck, this life is wrong…” With an expression like “Hello, Dre.” I thought it must be a desperate situation…

“So, what about you?”
“Uh, uh? Me?”

The man holding my hand panicked and pointed at his hand with the opposite hand.

“I was embarrassed too, so I held out his weapon… I’m sorry…”
“It’s a weapon, can’t you put it in first?”

You said you were flustered. I tackled myself, but soon the words that couldn’t be excused like that came out.

“Because the right hand and the weapon are connected. That. The mantis sword method… Haha.”

It really was.
The fist and the sword were connected by a giyeokja.

“…I’m sorry.”
“Oh, no.”

Let go of his hand
Her face turned red.
Glancing sideways at Milia, she too was blushing.
…Finalists. They are good people…

No. Not all participants are like that, but they are people who can judge the situation.

“Thank you for understanding. This person is also a victim, so of course we should protect him.

There was a response before the words were finished.

“Of course!”
“What do you see us as? Understand!”
“Nice. Come on.”

“…”

“Yeah. But the sword of mad flame. Rumors were frightening, but he was a righteous young man.”
“Cool! Madness!!”
“Yes. A hero should do that!”
“As expected, he is my rival!”

Fuck good guys.
The contestants in the final who laughed and made fun of me. When this is done, I will personally stir it with my own hands.

[It’s embarrassing and ugly.]
[That’s right.]
Shut up!!

But what else is a bastard who says he’s my rival?
I was staring at him… It’s that cowboy kid who said he was going to catch me earlier.

“You?”
“Hmm!”

Even if I proudly open my chest, I don’t know who you are.
Blinking her eyes, it was only then that he remembered the mana stone embedded in Milia.

“Milia. Come over here.”

Perhaps Huroot had interfered with Milia’s mana stones in various ways.
You have to unlock it
However, she had to take off her top to touch the mana stone herself, but it was hard to tell her to do so in a place full of men.

“Uh,”
“Huh?”
“Aww…!”

The men exclaimed and turned their heads in unison.
Then… I saw the mana stone embedded in the very center of Milia’s chest and opened her eyes.

“Is that nuclear?”
“You rut… What are you doing to civilians?”

The participants in the finals, who were misunderstood and burned their anger, held their weapons strongly.
The moment he touched the Mana Stone, recognizing that they were good people. Dismissed! The hand was pushed away with a spark like lightning.

I’m not making it easy.
He regenerated his burnt black fingers and frowned.

“Dre-sama…!”
“It’s okay. It’s nothing.”
Why do you shed tears at my answer?
Seriously, how anxious was that?
She hesitated, but she looked at me and began to tell me what she had hidden.

“Go, thank you… I. I’m really sorry, but after a while, the core will overheat and… I… I… Will die…”
“I’m sorry. It’s okay. If you have enough time, you can dispel it… Huh? That spell wasn’t entered?”
“Yes?”

It was at that time that Milia’s eyes widened.

Aww!

“!”

Blue air currents swirling from behind rush like a car.
It’s space magic.
Beyond the circle bordered by blue, the scenery somewhere in Sers was reflected.

“Suck.”

Shukak!

Broke the circle in two
Mana scattered and disappeared.
The participants who were preparing for it made dumb faces and then let out exclamations.

“Ooh! Did you cut space magic?!”
“Was that possible…?”
“Yeah, as expected, my rival…!”

This shit
The same thing as just now is approaching from all sides.
I don’t know if it’s just me, but it’s not enough to protect everyone.

“Rius! Take good care of Milia!”

Shukak! Shuka Cak!

As he slashed the warp, he thought carefully about what had happened so far.

There were a few doubts.

1. Why don’t ordinary people touch it?
2. Why not put warp magic under full control.
3. Even the location when people are warped is basically random.

This question is…Probably a vow and a constraint.
A method of maximizing effectiveness by limiting what can be done for an action.

If so, what are you preparing for?
What is the purpose of that Emrepes?

There was one thing I had to make clear.

“Milia is not the nucleus of this situation.”

Yeah it can’t be
Even if a person’s life is heavy… Millia is an ordinary person.

I don’t think she can activate magic of this magnitude with just her life.

This phenomenon currently manifested in Sers was only achieved with Herroot’s original skills. Either there is someone who can be called a nucleus… Or there is no such thing as a nucleus in the first place. Since he was a mage on the level of Emrepes, the possibilities were endless.
But there is a way to deal with anything.
All you have to do is kill Hart itself.

[You say the most difficult things as if they were easy.]
[Hurut counts more than I thought…]

That’s the most difficult way, but it’s also a way to put this situation to rest by ignoring nuclear weapons.
Fortunately, the situation is turning in our favor.
At first glance, it looks like Herroot is controlling everything with warps and monsters, but even the finalists and instructors at Prunar Academy are walking through the air and removing Herroot’s magic.

I can still feel it.
That the instructors are somehow enduring the enormous energy of Huroot.

While they hold it, I will have to scrape the body of Huroot.

The problem is that there are three Huroots.
I can feel that the old man is openly in the center, but I don’t know where the appearance is and the boy who is closest to the main body is.

Probably the center. That place, surrounded by warp magic, shaped like Doom.
At first glance, it looks like it’s in a dangerous place where black darkness fills the blue border… But it’s not certain, and it’s going to be quite difficult to get there.

So let’s do it all at the same time.

“You guys, please don’t harm civilians.”
“All right.”
“I see what the mad flame is thinking!”

Hmm.
Gwangyeom I keep listening to it, so it sticks to my mouth.

With that thought in mind, I contacted the person I currently trust the most.

Almiraz.
It’s time to step out

And the time has come for me to play a little bit.
To be precise, it was the item, not me.
Sensing that something was on the verge of appearing, I rummaged in my arms.

…Cooldown. Want to fill

***

Emily pondered the situation as she blocked Herut’s mana from spreading out.
No matter how you look at it, Huroot was wasting time preparing something.

‘What are they preparing?’

First of all, what is the purpose of Hurt?
It is too clumsy for widespread terrorism to be the goal.

Hart’s actions had a reason.
Also to keep the general public out of it.
It is also about maintaining the fight appropriately while eliciting the participants’ response.
Keep adding rules or changing words.

All to pass the time.
Perhaps for some spell.

If Emily was in Her Root’s position, what would she have tried?
What did Huroot prepare here?
As you can see, the person who engraved his spell was scattered here and there to make this place his space.
That way, it has a similar effect to being in the area you created. But Herroot’s purpose is above that.

It is a story that there is a higher class skill than fighting in one’s own domain.

‘…What are you going to do with Dre?’

I have inferred from my actions so far. Herroot has a very high regard for Dre, and is wary of it.
That’s why he must have prepared a means to subdue him.
But if it’s his own stronghold, what the hell in a foreign country…

At that moment, Emily suddenly remembered.
These days?

“…Fate Palace.”

The strongest magic fortress where no one can invade.
That Emrepes prepared quite thoroughly, but that’s okay.
No matter how strong he is, he must have known that a wizard with limitations would eventually be overpowered in a foreign land, unless he was inside his fortress.

In the end, this is just a matter of time.
For a bigger summon!

[Even if I noticed, it was too late.]

The hologram in the sky laughed as if mocking Emily.

“…!”

Emily gritted her teeth and tried to manifest her ultimate skill, reality manipulation.
Her secret that even the gods hold on to… Didn’t activate.
It was simply because they hadn’t fully recovered since the Sea God’s Cave.
Reality manipulation had to pay that much.

Cooong.

The sky shuddered as if an earthquake had occurred, and everyone’s eyes turned to the sky.
There, like a mirage, an endless tower was being summoned.

“That…What…”
“…”

Is this real
Everyone had such thoughts.

Ordinary people are still in good shape.
Skilled people, especially wizards, clearly knew what the result of being summoned would be.

When summoned
A god named Hurru is born.

He will become the god of this area.

Early symptoms have already appeared.
Appearing in the middle of the sky… Something that looks like a deer or a dog.

It was an experimental subject called Askatlov’s degraded version.
It radiated mighty energy, one, two, three… Soon began to multiply into dozens.

People are speechless.
If such things come down to earth. All that remains is…

Slaughter.

Hee hee…!”

The real mother laughed from the ground.
Okay. I’d rather just kill them all with the feeling that

Millia clenched her fists.
Dre told me he wasn’t nuclear…But what if he tried it now?

At that moment, Dre jumped high.
Then summons an air shield and quickly ascends into the sky.

“I hope the cool tam is kicked… I hope it’s kicked…!”

Dre soared high, muttering strange words, and saw Herroot as well.
He watched Dre with a relaxed grin.

[Heh heh heh. What are you going to do? It’s maddening.]

The old man with his arms outstretched grinned.

[My Destiny Palace has been summoned, what are you going to show me? There is no way to stop it unless there is even a heart…]

And then.
Hurroot loses his words.

Because I saw the brilliantly shining sword in Dre’s hand.
That’s what I’ve been researching… It was given directly by Nanar at the Holy Spirit Festival…

[…Holy Sword?]

Flash!

The snow shone so strongly that it illuminated the ground, and Herroot cried out.

[What are you trying to do!]

Dre replied bluntly.

“Nick value.”

And.
Holy sword.
Wields a lightsaber

As ‘weak’ as possible

Blah blah blah!!

“Nanar!! Go to work you fucking bastard!!”

Immediately after shouting the starter word and swinging it.

Aaaaa!!!

A beam of light that seemed to flicker through the world spread out in a straight line.

The light pierced through all kinds of defenses and mana, swallowing dozens of exponentially increasing exponential subjects as well as the Destiny Palace.

Aaaaa!!!!!

As if a nuclear explosion had exploded, a huge sphere of light appeared in the sky… The summoning Palace of Destiny collapsed, and the summoning stopped.

“…”

Hurroot, who was leisurely watching from a distance, opened his mouth… And said a foul word for the first time in a long time.

“What is it? That bastard.”
