Chapter 446
The skies above the island where Veil is based.
Looking at the dark red curtain surrounding the island, Adela, Ji Soon-chan, and Stella were having a conversation with serious expressions.
“… … Can’t you pierce it?”
Jisunchan asked with a serious expression.
“okay. That magic is the corrosive magic of Sabine Bellanthor. It corrodes objects as well as mana. There is no way to break through.”
Asran also had a similar expression to Ji Soon-chan.
“Imperial days. Only one person succeeded in penetrating that magic. He was the only lord.”
It couldn’t be pierced unless it was Ignis’ level of magic.
“I can’t penetrate… … . It’s a scam.”
“okay. It is a scam.”
Aslan readily admitted it.
“Sabine’s corrosive magic takes a long time to activate, but once activated, it is absolutely unstoppable.”
How much did they suffer because of Sabine’s magic during the Empire?
At least a few hundred thousand soldiers died from that corrosive magic.
“… … Did a guy like that appear in the latter half of the war?”
Elena bit her lip.
Sabine also started to fight in earnest after Elena retired.
Elena doesn’t know Sabine’s corrosive magic for the same reasons as before Hoderiam and Jenarin.
“I… I really don’t know anything. This is the first time I have ever felt so helpless.”
I felt sorry for myself.
In a situation where he should have been more helpful than anyone else, his own situation where he couldn’t be of any help was really ridiculous.
“I don’t think so. It’s natural that you don’t know the circumstances.”
Aslan comforted Elena.
“At that time, it was difficult for you to take care of yourself. It’s natural that you don’t pay attention to things outside.”
At the time, Elena was unable to move properly.
At that time, Elena did not have the energy to observe the trend of the war.
“Besides that, I forbid you from giving out any additional information because I didn’t want to cause you any further concern.”
I couldn’t even listen to the people who came to visit me.
He forbade the transfer of information to Elena, not to burden someone who left the front with a serious injury.
This is why Elena is now ignorant of information about the second half of the war.
“What? You don’t have to feel so sorry for yourself. Now, only those who participated in the war at such a late stage are coming out, but the ones you know will also come out. You can take care of those guys.”
“… … yes.”
Elena smiled bitterly.
“I never thought the day would come when I would be comforted by you… … .”
“I have never been comforted. I just told the truth as it is.”
Aslan crossed his arms and smiled as usual.
“… … is that so.”
Elena’s expression brightened a little.
Thanks to Aslan, I felt a little more at ease.
“Two minutes. I’m sorry during the conversation. First of all, what should we do to deal with that barrier?”
Stella, who had been constantly observing the dark red barrier, uttered a hint.
“I would have said. That magic cannot penetrate. Neither my magic, nor Elena’s magic, nor your mind sword can pierce it.”
Aslan looked at Stella and said calmly.
“There are only two people on our side who can pierce that magic. Shin Ha-yul and Sein Binoche. I can never penetrate it with my current power.”
empire times.
Aslan had used all kinds of methods to somehow break Sabine’s corrosion barrier.
However, no matter what method was used, Sabine’s corrosion barrier could not be pierced.
Only one person succeeded in breaking through Sabine’s corrosion barrier, Rae Bell Bytenor.
It cannot be penetrated in any other way.
“Then you want to keep watching?”
“okay. That’s for the best.”
Stella frowned at Aslan’s words.
Aslan made eye contact with Stella with a calm expression, then turned his gaze toward the dark red curtain again.
“Among the people here right now, only Sein Binoche has the potential to break through that barrier. Rather than overdoing it now, it is better to wait for Sein Binoche to break through that barrier.”
Destroying Sabine’s corrosive barrier doesn’t mean everything is over.
Sabine’s corrosion barrier is only one of the obstacles after all.
You have to think about what happens after that.
“Stella Binoche. Don’t be anxious and make up your mind. Our role is support. It is to safely retreat the main unit. If you overdo it now, you won’t be able to save the people you can save.”
“… … .”
Stella bit her lip.
I wanted to deny it, but I couldn’t bear to deny it.
Because it is an undeniable theory. Even if I wanted to deny it, I couldn’t deny it.
“Trust your mother. Cein Binoche will surely do something for you.”
“… … yes.”
Stella took a deep breath.
Take deep breaths and clear your mind to shake off the impatience wriggling inside.
“Everyone keep an eye on the barrier, and prepare to take action immediately after the barrier is destroyed.”
Aslan looked at Stella, Adela, and Ji Soon-chan in order and said.
Each of the three nodded.
“… … Asran.”
At that time, Elena’s expression sank coldly.
Almost at the same time as Elena, Adela’s expression hardened.
“I don’t think we can just wait for the barrier to be destroyed.”
“… … .”
Belatedly, Aslan’s expression hardened.
Stella’s expression also hardened, not much different from the other three.
“This… … .”
Following the fourth, Ji Sun-chan’s expression also calmed down for the last time.
All five sensed the uneasy mana felt around them and entered a state of alert.
“three… … . no. Is it four?”
Adela said, looking all around.
“yes. That’s four. His presence was hidden in the barrier, so I didn’t notice it at all.”
Elena clicked her tongue.
I never thought I’d use that barrier for stealth. Totally unexpected.
“Aslan. There is such a way to use that magic. Why didn’t you tell me?”
“… … I saw it for the first time too.”
Aslan was surprised and confused at the same time.
It was the first time Aslan knew that there was such a use for the corrosion barrier.
“Is Sabine’s barrier of corrosion a type of barrier that can identify friends and family?”
Sabine’s corrosive barrier doesn’t corrode everything in the barrier indiscriminately, but it seems that it was a magic that could corrode the target by choice.
‘… … Then it’s not like there’s no way to break through Sabine’s corrosion barrier.’
Being able to identify friends or family means that there is a ‘means’ for choosing a target.
If you use that ‘tool’, you might be able to break the barrier.
“Ah-oh. fuck. I’ll be embarrassed It’s okay.”
At that time, a man appeared from within the barrier.
He was a man with a wild appearance, with his freshly grown hair standing out.
“Sabine is really consistent. She is annoying all the time.”
Following the man, a woman with an obscure body appeared.
“I agree. If you’re going to open a barrier, could you at least say something in advance? Tsk.”
“I am satisfied. Didn’t you mess around this time?”
Behind the woman, a dwarf man and a stout man with a bald head appeared.
“What’s wrong with not being cocky? They threatened me with magic to tell me to go outside if I didn’t want to die. That’s a twist.”
The bald-haired man gritted his teeth.
“The delicious thing inside is that you will eat it all by yourself. Unlucky.”
The woman covered her mouth and frowned.
“Tsk. Hearing that makes me even more annoyed. Let us deal with this crap.”
“What are you annoyed about? Isn’t it better to use less force?”
Then the dwarf man and the bald man helped each other out.
It was then.
Clink!
The space where the bald-headed man was standing was shattered like glass.
Wedge love!
Then, tree roots flew into the spot where the dwarf man was standing.
Slow-!
Finally, a sword strike flew into the place where the man and the woman were standing.
Taking advantage of the enemy’s carelessness, the party struck first.
“Are you the first bread without saying hello? Are you too cowardly?”
However, the party’s raid failed.
The timing was good, but the enemy’s skills were better than expected.
All four managed to block the attack casually.
“This demon… … .”
“This sword. Like the woman inside… … .”
“Break the space? This… … .”
Bald-haired man.
Before the barrier opened, all of them had a change in expression except for the man who had fought 1:1 with Sein.
Some frowned, some laughed, some exclaimed.
“why? What is it?”
The bald-haired man looked at the three faces and asked.
Among Bale’s direct subordinates, he was by far the most intelligent, so he was the only one unable to grasp the situation.
“It wasn’t a killifish, was it?”
“I know.”
“… … .”
The three of them turned their gaze to the party, ignoring the man with bald hair.
“long time no see. Asran Polo Hamruin.”
“… … Third.”
Aslan frowned as he recited the name of the bald man who had just cast space collapse magic.
“Have we really been a long time? Elena Law Greenwood.”
“… … yes. It’s been a long time, both in real time and in terms of experience. Comet.”
Elena made eye contact with the dwarf man.
She is extremely wary, glaring at the man.
“Asran? Elena?”
Heckil, the bald-haired man, looked at the two of them with his eyes wide open.
“Those two? Are they?”
“okay. Those two.”
The four people present here are the old members of Saguk, who have been involved in the war since the beginning of the war.
can’t get to know each other
“Oh my. It means that the other side, like us, revived the vassals of the past.”
Heckel licked his tongue.
It is a very happy expression.
“You fool. can’t you see the face your face is different There is no resurrection over there.”
The small man snorted.
“huh? okay? If not resurrection, what is it?”
“I don’t know. Isn’t it roughly reincarnation or something?”
“aha. Rebirth.”
The four executives looked at Aslan and Elena at the same time.
“Is that why you’re so lousy?”
“That’s it.”
The four of them were people who had repeatedly engaged in battles with Aslan and Elena.
It is impossible not to know that Elena and Aslan are in a weakened state compared to the days of the Empire.
“Then wouldn’t that be a little funny?”
“You fool. Why can’t it be fun?”
To Hekil’s grumbling, the dwarf man replied with a grin.
“It means that you can capture those bastards alive and enjoy torturing them for the rest of your life.”
He licks his lips and smiles as if he is ecstatic just thinking about it.
“oh. Wouldn’t that be a bit bad?”
Heckel laughed as if he was having fun.
All four executives smiled relaxedly.
“… … .”
“… … .”
Unlike those executives, the expressions of the five party members, including Aslan and Elena, were very serious.
“… … Dangerous. I’m still behind in power, but even the numbers… … .”
Individual skills are also pushed, and even the number of heads is pushed.
Dangerous.
There is no victory at this rate.
“Aslan. Let’s run away for now.”
Elena said coldly.
It is right to step back for now.
It is only right to retreat a bit and intrude again the moment Sabin’s corrosion barrier disappears.
“well. My desire to run away is like a chimney… … .”
Aslan glared at the four executives and continued.
“They are used to my spatial magic. You won’t be able to escape easily.”
The opponents are the executives of Saguk, who are well versed in Asran’s space magic.
I don’t think I’ll be able to escape the eyes of those four.
“I know that. Escape would be difficult.”
Elena said with a determined expression.
“I’ll buy you time.”
It is better to sacrifice one person than three to die.
“Adela. sorry.”
“no.”
Adela shook her head with a calm expression as usual.
The only person who can act as bait in this situation is yourself.
that he will die here
It looked like he had already made up his mind.
“Adela you… … .”
Ji Soon-chan looked at Adela’s back with trembling eyes.
Adela did not turn her head.
“You go first. I will follow you slowly.”
Looking at your warlock, I pretend to be as relaxed as possible.
“Alone… … !”
Jisunchan didn’t want to say anything, but kept his mouth shut.
I don’t know what to say.
I wanted to dry it, but I couldn’t.
Unable to trample on Adela’s resolve, I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut.
“… … I beg you.”
Aslan looked at the two and said.
Just like Elena said, it’s better to sacrifice one and live at least two than three die right here and now.
It’s heartbreaking, but you have to be cool. Don’t let your emotions sway you here.
“yes. Please leave it to me.”
Elena smiled and met Aslan’s eyes.
“There is no signal. I’ll leave it up to you.”
The timing of the escape is entirely left to Aslan.
Rather than giving a signal separately, it is better to leave it to Asran’s sense.
“… … okay.”
Aslan nodded and took a step back.
At the same time as Elena and Adela use magic, they see the opportunity and run away immediately.
Asran’s nerves became extremely sensitive.
It was then.
“I know what you are thinking.”
“… … !”
“… … !”
Aslan and Elena.
Ji Soon-chan and Adela.
A dwarf man appeared between the two.
“There’s no way we’ll miss you. huh? Asran Polo Hamruin.”
I didn’t even notice how or when it moved.
The man noticed and saw that he was standing in front of him.
‘This guy shouldn’t have had this ability… … .’
Among those four, there is no one who can move at such high speed.
no, there wasn’t
‘How the hell… … .’
Aslan pondered such a question and held out his right hand.
Questions are questions, and the priority now is to respond to his attacks.
“Hahaha!”
At that time, a shadow fell behind Aslan. Hekil, who had transformed into a chimera, was raising her fist high behind Aslan.
“You are weak. really.”
Next to Elena and Adela, a woman was holding out her right hand with black mana floating on it.
“Isn’t it too easy?”
The bald-headed man held out his hands to Elena and Aslan in a posture as if he were hanging upside down in the air, and sneered.
All four jumped through the space in the blink of an eye and moved right in front of them.
‘Dangerous.’
I have no idea how I did it.
No, it’s not a problem if you don’t get a sense.
The problem is that they are already surrounded.
At this point, there is no way to block all four attacks.
it’s checkmate
“good bye!”
Triggered by the dwarf man’s words, four people cast magic at the same time.
no.
“I will not allow it.”
I was trying to kick
Tboob. Tboob.
It would have been if a woman hadn’t appeared between the four of them.
“You cannot use black magic without my command.”
Black Mage King.
“Nobody.”
The black king in the form of Sophia Anechevri appeared.
