Chapter 117 – Gleaming Darkness – 1

Hargen opened his mouth in a sullen manner to explain something, but I was quicker to open my mouth.

“By the way, Hargen, was it because you studied magic all day long that you couldn’t receive the information properly?”

“What information.”

“A lot of guys attacked me at the casino, but they all died. So in one word… The story is that I was stronger than the whole casino. I don’t know how strong you guys are, but even knowing that, you act like this, right?”

A dog for a day is so stupid that he barks without even knowing that the other person is a tiger. I gave a kinder explanation to match the eye level.

“If the real people there were really frustrated, I would have thought of blowing up the casino by suicide. It just won’t work for me.”

I can’t help it if you don’t understand even if I explain it to this extent. I just have to crush it and kill it.

Hargen answered while still stroking his beard.

“But we suffered a great loss. Our magic research must never fall behind.”

“I didn’t learn what I taught at the academy, but I do know that magic is a very hungry subject. Why do you want to study magic while receiving huge amounts of support?”

I asked, looking around.

The glimmer of darkness, is there anything to shake off because of the grandiose name? I was looking forward to it, but there is nothing. The building is also quite shabby.

“It’s not like we’re working on a building, we’re not gathering women to play with… I know you really put your money into magic. I wonder what the reason is. Is it pure enthusiasm for learning?”

Hargen was finally out of luck.

“We are not the only beings who seek magic. We are competing against many magical societies. I just struggle to survive against them.”

“Okay? Then from now on, I will protect the glimmer of darkness from them. Instead, let’s give the money back to you. Be loyal to Elbalom.”

“…”

The expressions of the executives of the Darkness Twinkle, including Hargen, became strange.

“Are you telling me to pay money to El Balom? In the name of being protected?”

“Okay. I was actually thinking of dealing with the casino that way too. We were only going to talk in moderation, but the conversation didn’t go well with each other, so we left furiously. Well, think about it and decide for yourself.”

Let’s go, Alice. As I muttered that, Elise jumped up from her seat. We were about to leave, but Hargen stopped me.

“Florian.”

“Why.”

“If you can really protect us from other magical societies, can’t you decide by seeing something? I’ll have to deal with at least one of them.”

Oh, so. This guy wants to roll me for free right now and wipe out another magical organization. What a cheeky idea.

Alice opened her mouth as she snorted.

“Hey. Old man Don’t be shy. You talk so well, but in the meantime, do you use your brain to take advantage of the situation?”

In fact, Alice was like that too, but I didn’t bother to point out that.

I flicked my fingers and motioned for Hargen to come this way.

“You’re not going to be the best at magic here. Let’s just stick to a clean plate. Just enough to know each other’s skills.”

“What will happen if the Darkness wins? Unless you prove your skills at all.”

“El Balom is yours. But could that happen?”

Then, the Dark Twinkle executives burst into laughter while making sounds, haha. It seemed to be a laughing atmosphere, so I laughed out loud.

However, Hargen, who had been laughing together, suddenly became serious at some point.

“You see the glimmer of darkness as very water. Let’s go out right now.”

◈

To be honest, this time I felt a bit more at ease.

At the casino, it was annoying because I didn’t know when the guys hiding in the stands, on the floor, and here and there would come attacking me, but this time it was a one-on-one match.

One-on-one is the best.

It’s natural that it’s neat, polite, and it’s a fight where each other can only focus on each other.

Hargen asked me while stroking my beard in a very leisurely manner.

“Is there any magic you don’t want to use? Magic has many branches and classes. I won’t use it if there’s something that you think is too mean.”

“Just use it all.”

I answered leisurely. In the first place, if you exclude some magic and win the match, there will definitely be gossip later.

If I wrote that, I won. I’m not really into you… I didn’t want to hear anything like that.

I decided to tell you my duel method instead of deciding the other’s duel method.

“Ellis.”

“Yes! Master!”

I tossed the cube towards Alice. Ellis groaned and she accepted it with her face looking a little embarrassed.

“Lord, Master! Are you going to fight without it?”

I nodded.

“Seeing him stroking his beard in a classy way, I just need to punch him in the face a few times. If I win, know how to burn all that beard. Why do all the magicians grow beards? Don’t you know how to take care of yourself?”

Hargen smiled with an absurd expression.

“You talk a lot. A wizard just proves it with magic.”

“Okay. Okay.”

I raised both arms to show him that I don’t have any equipment. He started coming this way, weaving the flow of mana.

“Are you ready to be innocently beaten by fists without any equipment or magic?”

I laughed quietly, and he immediately fired magic at me.

Sudden!

When I dodged a fireball, he didn’t miss the gap and fired an ice pick. I dodged it, and this time I shot a mana arrow. He was a guy with a lot of attributes.

But if it doesn’t reach it, it’s meaningless. Whether it was close or leisurely, none of his magic reached me in the end.

After dodging a few more attacks, Hargen’s expression instantly became serious.

It wasn’t an outright lie to say I wanted to punch Hargen in the face, but I had deeper thoughts inside.

I plan on absorbing the magic groups around me by coaxing the glimmer of darkness. Then, El Balom will become an organization that is second to none in the field of magic development.

In order to do that, he had to get Hargen’s approval.

In order to receive recognition, you must do your best purely. If you get the feeling of playing with it, even if Hargen loses, he won’t bend his back in displeasure.

He began to gather all the strength in his fists.

Perhaps it was because my attitude had become serious, and Hargen, including the executives, began to look at me with slightly different eyes.

“Hmm?”

“Hmm.”

Even without the help of mana, the body that had been strongly trained had tremendous power.

At least, it would be twice as strong as the body of Hargen, who always sat and studied magic. I immediately kicked off the ground and fired at Hargen.

Aww!

Hargen foolishly chose to block instead of dodge.

It seems that he somehow protected his bones with a barrier, but he couldn’t help being pushed by his strength. His body bounced off the wall like a bullet.

I immediately ran after it and boarded his boat. Then he clenched his raised fist once again.

Bawk!

He punched him in the face once.

“Cuck!”

A state in which Hargen first felt embarrassment rather than pain. But I intended to beat him until he felt pain.

Hargen hurriedly chanted his spell, doubling his own barrier.

But no matter how hard it was, I was going to stick my fist out. I just hit, hit, hit, and hit again to break that barrier.

“Ruler… Wait for a sec!”

Every time the barrier cracked, Hargen’s expression varied.

Shivering, yelling, and shaking his head from side to side, he tried to get out of the seat somehow, but he couldn’t push the lower half of his body, which I had secured firmly.

“You look good. Let’s just hit three from now on.”

Her treatment is the dodo’s thing, so all I have to do is leave this guy alive. All she says is that as long as she doesn’t kill her.

The barrier was broken and Hargen’s exposed face was hit repeatedly. She couldn’t resist him.

“Long live the master!”

By the time Elise shouted, I stopped her fist.

Hargen coughed up blood and rolled his eyes.

She thought she was very attractive when Alice closed her eyes in bed, but as the old man was doing this in front of her eyes, she suddenly had a desire to kill her.

It’s pathetic.

I kicked Hargen, who had passed out, towards the Dark Twinkling executives. It was a perfect victory.
