by fnovelpia“ᛒᛖᛗᛚᚨᛗᚢᚾᛁᛅ᛬ᚣᚬᚱᛖᛗ.”
Overflowing Imoogi.
“Kraaaa!!!!”
The head of a dragon that emerged from the jar summoned by Isabelle’s magic opened its mouth wide and rushed towards Caesar.
Lauf’s response was faster than expected.
Isabelle’s ancient magic counterattack.
Caesar burst into laughter at that.
“Really. It’s a fascinating ancient magic.”
Of course, there was no tension. He just smiled and raised his wand.
“Fortunately, I have also learned some ancient magic.”
ᛗᚢᚻᚬᚾ᛬ᚬᚴᛅᚱᛁ.
infinite loop.
Churrr!!
Two black spheres with blue edges appeared and interlocked in a ∞ shape.
Wow!!
Jjijijijijik!!!
The dragon’s head collided.
“Cruck!!… ”
Despite the powerful magic, the dragon’s head was crushed into two circles. At the same time, Rauf approached Caesar and swung his sword.
Kak!!
Green onions!!
However, Caesar easily blocked Rauf’s sword with his staff.
“Rauf… You have become quite strong.”
The wand was coated with a transparent film.
Non-attribute enchantment magic.
Provides strong resistance to physical force.
Additionally, although Caesar is a wizard, he is at a much higher level than Rauf and has learned the war mage’s fighting style from his teacher, Aegis.
His buffed strength was not easily defeated even in close combat.
Sigh!!
Kakak!!
Hiss!!
Let’s go!!
Chang!~
A cane with its blade sticking out for an instant.
Hallucination of the wand expanding into multiple branches.
Block attacks with magic and stab.
Kagagak!!
Despite not having any special skills, the 8-star War Mage was very powerful even in close combat. No, the fighting style is different, so if you react without knowing, it can be very threatening.
Kang!!
“Quuk!… .”
As you can see, Lauf is pushed around.
Immediately Caesar used explosion magic.
bang!!
As Rauf quickly retreated, he fired several more magic spheres.
Shusuk!!
Kaga river!!
Rauf struck them all down.
Hwii~
Scream!!
And then I glanced up.
Isabelle’s magic, powerful enough for Rauf to gain time, was passing above.
ᛋᛁᚾᛚᚬᚴ᛬ᛁᚬᛋᚨᚷᚢᛁᛁᚬ.
ᚹᛁᛞᛖᚨᚷᚺᚨᚾᛖᚾᛁ᛬ᚨᚢᚾᛁᛁ᛫ᑯᚨᚱᛅ
Fresh green leaves.
Follow the Great Mother.
“Hehe… What kind of magic is this?”
Caesar was slightly embarrassed and prepared for the attack.
Numerous leaves transformed into the shape of a deer-horned beast slightly high in the air, then raised one paw and struck down Caesar.
Whoop!!
Caesar immediately unleashed a defensive spell.
4 layers of transparent protective film.
Protective shields that overlap and interlock with each other.
A protective film that is dozens of times stronger than before.
however.
Kwaang!!!
Damn it!!
“What!… .”
For some reason, the protective shield was broken without any help.
Kwaang!!!
Just like that, they trampled on Caesar.
Isabelle spoke calmly.
“The leaves of the divine tree scatter the mana it touches. It’s not an attack a wizard can block. but… You will wake up like nothing happened.”
Crazy!!!
It was just as Isabelle said.
The moment she finished speaking, powerful sparks flew out from under Shinsu’s feet.
The leaves are burning and scattering.
Damn it!!
Whoop!!
A flat sheet of ice creeps up and pushes the leaves into the range.
Below that.
“Huh… I was thinking of leaving it as a trump card. It’s already making me use this power.”
“Unfortunately, I already knew about your strength. You absorbed the power of someone who controls thunder and ice, right?”
“Huh. Did you find out that too through prophecy? But let me correct one thing. It is not that the power is absorbed, but part of the power is removed and accepted. Thanks to you, I was able to pass it on safely.”
“It’s an interesting topic, but I’m even more disgusted when I think about what you did.”
“Hehe. It would have been fun if you were a colleague.”
“How can something so young compare?”
“Enough chatting. It’s unfortunate, but in return for showing this, I will also use you as test subjects.”
“If you can, try it.”
chuck.
The moment the conversation ended, Rauf rushed in first, Azabel used powerful magic, and Caesar drew up the brain energy and put it into his staff.
The fierce battle continued.
*
Plop, plod.
“Attracted… .”
Blue hair.
Little witch.
Fiona.
She was going down the basement stairs. It wasn’t difficult to infiltrate because Isabelle and Rauf had caught Caesar’s attention.
He hid using the stealth spell given to him by Isabelle, and then invaded during a fierce battle.
Caesar’s laboratory.
To the basement of the Magic Tower.
This cannot be expressed in words.
It’s just an attraction.
Fiona also has good eyesight.
That’s why I was able to see it.
Even with his eyes closed, there is a being beckoning to him below. A loving being who cares about the living even though he or she is dead. A being with a warm smile, but who does not approach but looks into the distance.
Edeline’s lonely and worried god.
I went looking for her.
Stand tall.
I reached the end of the stairs.
I glanced around.
deep underground.
Large space.
And even a huge test tube. We arrived at the basement where Caesar resurrected God.
“… … Clearly not correct.”
Fiona suddenly muttered that.
It was visible this time too.
I had good eyesight from birth.
I saw everything I wanted to see.
That is… .
Even if it’s in the past.
Faaah!-
Fiona opened her eyes. There was a slightly bluish glow in the eyes.
A special ability gained after awakening as a witch.
I could see all the terrible things that had happened here.
How many people cried.
How many people died in fear.
How much pain I suffered.
How many tears were shed.
Innocent blood.
An unwanted death.
A forced sacrifice.
Suppressed anger.
A past that would make you cry just by looking at it was reflected in your eyes.
“… … … .”
Jerk.
walked forward.
The further I walked, the more terrible the past became.
Because the red moon rose, all of the past became clearer.
Divide the test subjects by number.
Destroyed through brainwashing.
A laboratory that does not treat humans as humans. You can even feel the terrible sounds and smells.
Disgust rises.
however.
Nevertheless.
We have to move on from here.
Because there is only one straight light waiting for you at the end that will not fade.
I ignored the disgust.
I moved forward without wavering even in the face of the terrible sight.
This sight will remain for a lifetime. But that’s why you can tell the wrong path.
Himself.
Looking back on the wrong past.
Regretting things that went wrong.
I regret my mistakes.
Distinguishing between right and wrong.
“I… Indian witch.”
It went on.
How deep did it go?
chuck.
At some point, Fiona stopped in front of a room.
This is the only locked room that Ronica’s group passed by before without being able to open it.
“… … Ah.”
Wiggle.
Fiona wriggled her hands.
The past in this place is replayed.
A person that no one recognized.
A person who suffered alone.
A person who endures groaning every day.
A person who has been oppressed for over 10 years.
“Medis. Poor friend.”
Mentally by inheriting Aegis, and physically by Caesar’s experiments. A person who had to grit his teeth and endure that always painful life alone.
“… I want to help.”
Fiona wanted to free Medidis.
But I don’t know how.
The presence of Medis here was something that even Isabelle could not have predicted. This is because prophecy does not show everything.
So I didn’t know what to do.
Wiggle. Wiggle.
Just squeezing my hands.
Above all, it can be dangerous if done wrong.
If Aegis wakes up, it’s over.
I thought about it for a while.
Should I help?
Or should I just pass by?
“… Fortune telling.”
Faaah!!
A card appeared in front of me.
A skill that erased his worries every time.
If you find a way, do it.
If it hurts, quit.
but.
Kuuuu… .
Black energy flowed from the card.
A woman can be seen stabbed with a sword.
It was a major disaster.
“… … … … … .”
Fiona turned pale without saying anything.
I want to help you.
I really want to help.
They tell me never to help.
Okay.
I took a step back.
Go forward again-
‘I don’t want to be strong.’
I hear hallucinations from the past. The remnants of young Medith were crying alone.
‘I want to live a normal life.’
“… … … .”
‘I don’t like being manipulated by someone. I want to live my own life. I didn’t even want to have this kind of talent. Anyone can help please. I don’t want to be ignored… ‘I want a friend too.’
An auditory hallucination where I mutter to myself.
Unlike other remnants of the past, a voice with strong wishes was clearly heard in my ears.
“Ah… .”
Thanks to this, Fiona couldn’t move forward.
How much it would hurt if no one reached out to you when you were having a hard time and suffering.
so… How happy I would be if you reached out your hand.
Fiona knows.
Starting from the day Ronika first extended her hand, she, who had no interest in anyone except her teacher, made a friend, and her personality gradually became brighter.
“I… I am… .”
I could be happy.
However, it is not Medis.
No one could know.
I couldn’t be happy, there was just a lot of pain.
I had a feeling that if I left it like this, I would live in misery forever.
I thought it was too much.
Swish!
I turned around again.
It’s a big bad thing, but now it’s a good thing.
“I am an Indian witch!!”
Correct what is wrong.
You can see what is right. So just guide me and that’s it.
If you overcome a major misfortune, that’s it!
I approached the door.
Paaa~
Following the traces of Caesar’s past, I placed one hand on the wall next to the door and raised my mana. The transparently installed strategy was solved.
Because I saw the past, I was able to understand how Caesar solved the magic trick.
The mana arrangement was moved accordingly.
Then he said:
As if responding to remnants of the past.
“I hope your friend. I won’t turn away.”
The magic shines when combined with the true method.
Crash.
Soon the visit opens.
That’s how I entered the path of great misfortune.
*
[Do not resist.]
Give up and sleep.
Stop letting it all go.
For Edeline.
Set your body on fire.
nightmare.
It’s another nightmare.
It’s a dream I always have.
Dream, influenced by the first warrior, tries to sympathize with and change himself.
Whatever you want.
Forcing someone else’s life
“… Fuck it.”
I ignored it this time too.
As always, I held on and endured. Because it was the best rebellion I could do.
You will never be eaten.
That’s all that can be done.
I held on and held on and opened my eyes.
Sigh.
I woke up from a nightmare.
Fortunately, he is still fine.
I can move my body completely.
But it’s hard.
I want to let go of everything.
I wish someone could help me… And hopeless thoughts pass through my brain.
At the same time, I sighed.
Because I know it won’t come true.
That moment.
Swish.
“… … … ?”
I looked toward the entrance.
I felt a human being squirming.
The spirit of Medis is very broad. So much so that you can hear everything across the room.
‘Is Caesar here again?’
My face crumples.
What did you come to do this time?
I can’t escape forever-
“Medis. Poor friend.”
“… … … … .”
My body stiffened.
It was very small, but it was not Caesar’s voice.
A young girl’s voice.
It’s a voice I know.
Ronica’s best friend, who was always with her, was definitely named Fiona.
I remember it even though we didn’t talk much.
Because they looked happy talking together.
Because I used to imagine ourselves together.
But why am I hearing that voice now?
“… … … .”
I slowly approached the door.
Focused on being popular.
“… I want to help.”
Unknown words.
Incomprehensible words.
What does that mean?
Why did he say he felt sorry for himself? How much do you know about yourself?
Still, something stirred my heart.
I wish I had said it to myself.
Meanwhile, many thoughts pass by quickly.
Why is Fiona here? This is Caesar’s underground laboratory. There’s no way he would be here if he weren’t an experimental subject… .
Were you captured as a test subject?
But that’s strange.
There’s no way I can let you walk around like that.
It’s normal to be locked in a dungeon.
then… Did you sneak in?
Is that possible?
Very confusing.
but… .
Okay.
The popularity has turned around.
Pass by here.
… It was bitter.
It’s natural.
Why would you help someone you don’t even know very well?
How he got in, and how he knew about him, is none of his business. As always, they are just ignored.
It’s a familiar thing.
This is familiar… It’s also frustrating.
Sigh… .
He also turned around.
Let’s not pay any more attention.
If you worry about it, you will only make it difficult for yourself.
You shouldn’t give your mind to strange things for no reason.
So I can’t hang out with anyone.
If you punish Aegis for being in the way, you will only end up losing both sides.
So this is it.
Alone as usual… … .
Swish!
“I am an Indian witch!!”
Suddenly, with that sound, In-cheok approached the door again.
A voice that seems determined.
I felt strange and turned around again.
What did this girl come back for?
I left a door and watched, facing the invisible man.
Faaah!!
I felt the mana flow.
It’s a familiar wave.
This is the flow of mana felt every time Caesar opens the door and enters.
‘… ‘Are you opening the door?’
The pupils shook.
This is a completely unexpected situation.
How can I open the door?
No, why are you doing this? Do you feel sorry for yourself for being trapped?
“I hope your friend. I won’t turn away.”
ah.
I felt a dull shock.
His own wish that he always kept to himself. It seemed like I answered that.
It’s obviously nothing.
It’s nothing special.
A word I’ve never heard before.
Very sweet words for Medis.
The words I wanted to hear so much.
Just that one word felt warm and gave me an inexplicable shiver.
One warm word was stronger than anything else.
Medis could not understand that feeling.
I felt my heart pounding.
It was a really strange feeling.
It feels like my heart is pounding.
Crash.
Soon the visit opened.
Blue-haired Fiona appeared.
The guy who was trying to get inside stopped abruptly when he saw himself standing right in front of him.
“Ah?… .”
The guy’s eyes open wide.
I met those eyes.
“… … … .”
“… … … .”
silence.
I looked at it as if time had stopped for a moment.
In such awkward silence.
Soon, Fiona took a small handkerchief out of her pocket and held it out in front of her.
“… No crying.”
Those were the first words I heard from him.
