First Continental War (4)

The moment Sven's sword cuts through the body.

Kevin fell into the abyss of memory.

It was a quiet space.

In that space where nothing exists, he spent time passing meaninglessly as if he were floating.

The recent battle with Sven for Dmitry's sake, and the many events that preceded it, felt so distant as if they had nothing to do with him.

How much time did you spend like that?

The moment I questioned why I exist in such a space, my mind was caught up in a storm of memories, like a black hole.

I blinked my eyes.

In Kevin's gaze, he saw some men storming into the house.

Wow!

The furniture in the house was broken.

The men smashed and smashed what looked like a grim face, and grabbed their father's hair as he was about to dry it.

To Kevin, the heavenly being is his father.

In Kevin's words, it was shocking to see such a great man being dragged here and there and being slapped on the cheek, as if he would pick the stars in the sky.

angry

I wanted to scream and run right away, but it didn't move even a single step, as if my feet were stuck in the same place.

I found out then that this is a fragment of memory.

Just remembering the past in his head, Kevin wasn't really living and breathing in that space.

My father was horribly beaten down.

My mother was slapped while drying, and all I could hear was the cry of my sister behind me.

Jigsaw.

space is warped.

I had a conversation with my father.

When I asked him why he was being like this, he said nothing but ok.

Jigsaw.

supportive.

This time it was on the street.

At her father's instructions to lock her in the house every day, her sister Marie went out rebelliously and was found by the men who attacked the house.

And the scene unfolded before my eyes.

Marie screamed and shook off the men's evil hands, but the men's power was too strong.

And those who glanced at the alleyway turned their gazes elsewhere, knowing that a crime was certainly being committed.

Because I saw the pattern engraved on my forearm.

What that meant was that people didn't bother to help.

Kevin ran.

They messed up, but Marie was able to escape safely thanks to the people's attention.

said the mother

next time don't do that.

It is because of them that Gase (家勢) is leaning, and there is a risk that you may lose your life if you go out recklessly.

The opponent was Blood Fang, a heinous criminal group.

They are not people who will look at you as young, and your mother pleaded with you with a frightened face.

It was from then.

life began to fall apart.

Jigsaw.

plunged into the abyss.

The memory was fading.

The Ghost Magician was a dangerous force, and from the moment it entered the encroachment stage, it was accompanied by the danger of heart magic.

In exchange for using excessive force for the first time. My mind was falling apart.

Regeneration of memories was not a time to reflect on them, but a process of asking if the memories could be forgotten.

Jigsaw.

supportive.

It was a very tiring day.

Kevin, who did all the chores to help the house, met Blood Fang on the street one day.

Those who remembered themselves at first urged them to give up their money, but it turned into a serious beating as if they were excited.

It hurt. In the midst of a frantic beat, I heard an unfamiliar voice I had never heard before.

"Stop."

No one.

He hadn't given up on what happened to him.

But for the first time, the man who did not turn away from his difficulties, looked at Blood Fang and said:

"You have violated Dmitry's law. Therefore, from now on, as the eldest son of the Dmitry family, I will execute the sentence for you who have broken the law."

That moment.

My mind was blown.

What do you live for?

When I reached my purpose in life, I remembered hearing a familiar voice in the gloom of darkness.

"Until I go. Be sure to defeat Simma."

just like then

Roman Dmitry recognized his difficulties again this time.

He will live for him.

If he was still alive, there was no time to be so engrossed in Simma.

sure-

darkness has gone

Kevin, who struggled to get up, looked at Hans' dwarf back and asked.

" How much time has passed?"

that.

It was Kevin's first memory of overcoming Simma.

* * *

Hans groaned.

As he looked around his body and asked if he was okay, Kevin said with a calm face.

"Tell me what happened."

I knew instinctively.

that a lot of time has passed.

Being alive like this meant Sven's death, and just by looking at Hans' bright expression, he could infer that Roman Dmitry was safe.

Still, I wanted to know what had happened.

With Kevin's still very pale face, Hans opened his mouth carefully.

Meantime ."

The talk was long.

From Sven's work to now.

When referring to Roman Dmitry's story, he added what he had heard from his therapist.

"I heard from the therapist that Master Roman really risked his life to cure you and Henderson. He expressed how devoted he was, as if he was imparting vitality. Kevin. That much, Master Roman wanted you to be safe. Seeing this happen, Master Roman must be very pleased."

It was nice to hear.

If someone tried to save himself, he could feel that he did not live in vain as a human being.

However.

Kevin felt complicated.

The word life force, something came to mind.

'Is it possible that you shared the energy of the heavens?'

someday.

It was emphasized that the power presented in Roman Dmitry's teachings was a very valuable power because the amount it was born with was limited.

Wearing out the aura of birth meant death.

Seeing Roman Dmitry gradually withering away as he proceeded with treatment, Kevin thought that he might have used his natural energy for himself.

messed it up

It was something I was really thankful for, but it was absolutely unacceptable for Roman Dmitry's vitality to wear out for a guy like himself.

In addition, I heard that he had declared war on the Kronos Empire for Dmitry's revenge.

I couldn't help but sit in the hospital bed like this because of the fact that I was serving such a person.

"I will go to the Western Front."

Kevin!

jumped up from his seat.

Despite Hans's earnest reluctance, Kevin grabbed his sword and went outside.

timely.

I met Fernando.

Looking at his whereabouts, he saw the situation that was going back at once.

Kevin. Go back to bed and rest. I know what you are thinking, but even if you follow me now, there is nothing you can do for your master. Why not get enough rest here and focus on recovering your body so that the lord who will return victoriously from the battle will be happy."

"I'm sorry, but I can't."

Kevin said firmly.

Fernando's words meant nothing to him.

"The reason for my life lies in the master. If he is on the battlefield, I must be with him. when i leave him There will be none except to carry out his orders."

moved a step

Fernando looked at the sight of him passing by quickly and scratched his head.

"How the hell do you dry that?"

Kevin.

Even in Dmitry, he was famous for his poison.

Fernando looked away.

His purpose is to protect Dmitry.

I didn't want to stop and follow Kevin, who left to do his part.

* * *

Peace was short.

After the conversation, a few days later.

At the sight of the imperial army coming from afar, the watching soldiers urgently sent a signal.

Deng Deng Deng-

"Enemy!"

"The enemies are advancing!"

The castle flipped over.

The soldiers found their positions in perfect harmony as they had been trained, and the commander of the Western Front, the Marquis of Vandenberg, also stepped forward armed.

From the moment Dmitry declared war, he did not remove his armaments from his body for a moment.

In order to respond to the enemy's attack at any time, the senses were sharply established.

above the wall.

I saw the enemies.

Baron Noel, who followed along, said with a firm expression, seeing the number of people rushing in.

" Too soon than we expected. I expected that it would take enough time to detoxify Roman Dmitry's poison, but Duke Bamford seems to have made a quick decision. At this rate, we are far short of the time we are trying to secure."

"The opponent is the Duke of Bamford. If you were a veteran on the battlefield, you would have instinctively decided that you shouldn't give them time."

Vandenberg and Bamford.

We met several times on the battlefield.

The Duke of Bamford was crude, but he instinctively knew how to solve a war, and the Marquis of Vandenberg never won one of the many wars he faced.

It was not simply because of the difference in power between the Empire and the Kingdom.

Even in a strategic confrontation, he could not gain an advantage against the Duke of Bamford.

Is that so?

I felt cool.

Despite all the preparations, he could not shake off the ominous energy.

Flora Lawrence said.

"Commander. Don't worry too much. We anticipate an all-out war against the Kronos Empire, and have thoroughly prepared for it. Even if magicians of the highest ranks of the Kronos Empire come out, there is no way to break down this wall that is covered with magic defenses layer by layer. As always, just trust Roman Dmitry and do what we can."

" That's right. Even if the enemy rushes to attack, it does not change the situation we were prepared for."

closely.

grabbed the sword.

Roman Dmitry.

believed

In the past wars, he has shown miraculous results, and in the war against Kronos, he might have achieved a victory that everyone thought was impossible.

But the process will not be easy.

Roman Dmitry had also said he would risk his life, so the Marquis Vandenberg was willing to risk his life for his role.

That was then.

Between the Imperial troops standing at a certain distance, a mysterious figure began to tremble forward.

* * *

there was only one

Baron Noel said as he was wearing a robe.

"Is it a messenger?"

no. If you were a messenger, you would have raised a white flag to let them know that you have something to deliver. I don't know what the Kronos Empire is thinking, but it's clear that this being is trying to do what the Kronos Empire intends.

The Marquis Vandenberg shook his head.

if so.

I could think of one possibility.

The method of using magic at a distance that arrows cannot reach is a pattern that has been widely used on the battlefield.

In fact, in the last battle with Kronos, Flora Lawrence used the 'Battle of the Great Warriors' to place magic traps where wizards would use their magic.

The result was a great success.

Thanks to this, he was able to block the enemy's attack, and this time, he did not install a magic trap for fear that the enemy would prepare.

Robyn had no hesitation.

Without taking any action to check the magic trap, he stopped walking long enough to use the magic.

OK.

The Marquis of Vandenberg gave the signal.

"Prepare the ballista."

Okay.

ballista.

A weapon used for ranged attacks.

Unlike the powerful destructive power, it is a weapon with somewhat lower accuracy, but I made a purposefully modified ballista to interfere with the casting of wizards.

Increasing accuracy instead of lowering destructive power.

If the wizard attacks the location where he is standing, the wizard will not be able to achieve his intentions and will have no choice but to cancel the magic.

"You are ready."

"I'll give you a signal soon."

Shh.

raised my hand

Watching Robyn closely, he saw him preparing something and lowered his hand like lightning.

"Fire!"

launch!

tung.

Tutututututu!

A huge arrow flew through the air.

Arrows enchanted with magic found the creature's location, and they fell on the robin's head in an instant.

It was an instantaneous situation.

Seeing that he did not retreat even a single step, people were convinced that the ballista's arrows would shred the robin's fragile body in one fell swoop.

That moment.

evil.

puff puff puff.

The white curtain blocked all the arrows.

Even though it didn't seem like he was preparing anything in particular, the magic was manifested at once with one touch.

And then.

"Plastic guys."

Kwareung.

Curl rumble rumble.

performed magic.

The robin walked on the robe, revealing his gray hair.

It was the first face I saw.

However, in the dark clouds rushing into the sky, the Marquis Vandenberg knew that the reality of the ominous was that existence.

people said

The state of 5 stars is the same as 6 circles.

The state of 6 stars is the same as 7 circles.

The Twelve Swords of the Continent, which people are talking about, was the state of 6 stars, and magicians of the matoap master class were usually in the 7th circle.

More than that.

It was an extraordinary realm.

They are known to exist, but have not witnessed their existence.

in the eyes of such people.

"Fury Of The Heaven."

Quarreung.

Quiet rumble rumble.

The white-haired wizard.

The magic of the 8th circle was manifested.
