I’m Not That Kind of Talent - Chapter 327

327. Whose side are you on (8)

“…!”

Even if it’s not raining, what else can cause a flash of light other than lightning on a cloudy day other than magic?

By the time Deon sensed the artificial light and quickly turned his head to check the source, it was already too late.

Magic rushed towards the mad dogs. It was an unusually powerful attack, as if someone had planned for the targets to gather together.

A powerful beam of energy plows the grass on the ground and shoots straight towards them, breaking through the thin shield that Lirinel had reflexively put up like a cookie crumble and advancing towards the mad dogs.

It’s a long explanation, but it all happened in an instant. Would it be easier to understand if a ‘clack’ sound was heard immediately after the ‘flash’?

My mind went blank.

‘No no…!’

He stretched out his hand as much as the warrior’s reaction speed allowed. Even if you are a hero, you know that it is impossible to repair a broken body and that if you do this, your arm will be cut off. Because I am a warrior. Even if you lose an arm, it won’t be a big obstacle.

…Actually, my body reacted earlier than I thought.

But that is only possible once you reach it.

If I had had time to prepare a little more, if I had been very close to the crazy dogs like usual, if I had been given just enough time to throw myself at them, I would have been able to block them with my damn strong body.

“please…!”

Quickly. My teeth ground together and a sound that I don’t know whether it’s a scream or a moan escaped out. When the light finally passed by, Deon dropped his intact hand and closed his eyes tightly. I didn’t want to see the scene that followed. Even my closed eyes were useless, unable to block the presence of this terrible light.

In an instant, the beam of light disappeared and darkness came under my eyelids.

“….”

“….”

A strange silence fell, as if the magic fired had torn apart even the sound.

What kind of results did you get? Forced to understand the situation and unable to keep his eyes closed forever in a place teeming with enemies, Deon took a short deep breath and opened his eyes. And what came into view was…

“You guys…?”

“yes?”

“huh?”

“yes?”

“?”

Why… aren’t you fine?

There was a very decent Knights of Lofty. Was the silence just a moment ago out of embarrassment? Deon, who was staring blankly in this direction, scanned their bodies with his eyes and stuttered as he opened his mouth.

“Are you… are you okay?”

“…ah? “Why the fuck are we alive?!”

Something magical definitely flew by!

They stutter as if they belatedly realized the situation. Deon heaved a sigh of relief as they pulled each other’s cheeks, wondering if it was a dream, and looked at Lirinel.

She shook her head silently.

‘Lirinel didn’t stop it….’

Well, her thin defense shield was quickly broken. I saw it clearly too.

Then what is it? I narrowed my eyes and watched them for a moment. The red eyes that touched the epaulettes on their shoulders took on a light of realization.

‘Oh yeah. There was an amulet in the epaulette.’

I prepared this just in case.

I remember that one was an amulet that was kept in case of conflict with demons in the demon world, which imposed the same restrictions on the opposing demons as when they went to the human world through the border, and the other was an amulet that suppressed the opponent’s magic.

In the current case, it appears that the latter talisman has taken effect.

‘…thank god.’

Deon quietly squeezed his faintly trembling fingertips. Aside from the immediate relief, my heart was cold.

‘We have to send it back now.’

You must send it back before it is too late. I was confident because of what happened just now.

‘The opponent is the corps commander.’

The corps commanders arrived here. I don’t know, but judging by the shouts and messed up situation when we arrived, it seems like they recognized that I was the enemy. ‘Deon Hardt’ is in a desperate situation to kill these guys, who are his weaknesses and also his enemies.

Just like before, there may be a surprise attack that I can’t prevent. This time, it was a magic attack, so I was able to escape safely with the amulet I was carrying, but the next time a memorization that is not magic comes by surprise, I will die without even being able to do anything. I never want to see that.

So Deon mentioned the name of the person who could take them away from the battlefield.

“Lirinel.”

“Yes, Deon.”

“…I have a favor to ask.”

I know that every single magical power is precious, but I have a favor to ask.

I can’t believe I’m asking you another favor when I’ve already asked you the greatest favor of all. As I spoke, I knew I was being shameless, so I lowered my gaze without making eye contact.

A light voice returned, as if telling me not to worry.

“Just say the word.”

“….”

Deon turned and faced the Lofty Knights, as if he wanted to show it with actions instead of words.

‘…The range of the amulet was 2 or 3 meters in radius.’

I know that by using these guys, I can deploy a temporary magic suppression force against the corps commanders. But if that happens, these guys will definitely die.

So…

“I will give you an order.”

“Speak up!”

Deon ordered firmly.

“Take off the epaulettes.”

“…Leader?”

“Take off the epaulettes. “I said it was definitely an order.”

“….”

The members of the Lofty Knights silently took off their epaulettes when they saw Deon in shock and heard that it was an order.

The epaulette falls to the floor with a thud, and now the gaze reaches for the next command. Deon looked back at Lirinel, who was nearby and watching the situation.

Blurred words came out with difficulty through clenched teeth.

“…Please.”

“Please just leave it to me.”

I knew what he was asking for without even having to ask. Lirinel, who understood what he wanted through the situation, immediately nodded and extended his hand towards the Lofty Knights.

A talisman must be possessed to be effective. A strange magic circle formed at the feet of the Lofty Knights who removed their epaulettes.

Their expressions turned pale at the sight of a sight they had seen before.

“No, boss! This!”

This is the type that was trampled under the feet of demons when they marched out of the demon world using space movement magic.

So now the captain and the commander of the 11th Corps are trying to send us somewhere else! Go somewhere safe, far away from this battlefield!

“There are so many enemies, what are you doing now?”

“Thank you for your hard work so far.”

Deon forced the corners of his mouth to smile at the opposing knights.

I don’t have time to talk at length, and I don’t want to waste unnecessary emotion by talking at length. He just spat out a short greeting.

“Let’s never see each other again.”

“What nonsense is that!”

“How did we get here—”

Flash. They disappeared along with the light.

Lirinel quietly looked at Deon, who was only looking at the spot where they had disappeared. She was nearby and could hear Deon’s last words before they disappeared.

[You must survive.]

That was a curse.

The sweetest and cruelest curse in the world.

They probably heard it too. That’s probably why he made a puzzled expression right before he was moved.

‘Deon is also very cruel.’

You break my heart with just a few words.

“…You sent it far away, right?”

“I sent you to a quiet place in the human world. Even if we leave again right away, it will take at least a week to arrive.”

“good job. And…”

The dark, sunken eyes turned towards Lirinel with a strange glow.

…In response to an unplanned request, the commander of a corps whose main focus was magic was to move a group called Lofty’s ‘Knights’ using only his magic. That’s a long distance that will take at least a week.

Since I’m not a demon, I don’t know much about magic, but I can tell that a lot of magical power must have gone into it. That’s why I have to say it.

“…thank you.”

His wide-open eyes, as if he had heard something unexpected, soon curved into a bright smile.

“you’re welcome!”

“….”

Deon turned his head.

Those who had been looking at me with murderous eyes as if they were looking for an opening a little while ago, when our eyes met, they relaxed their eyes and pretended not to notice. There were also people who smiled brightly.

He looked at the faces of the corps commanders, counted them in his head, and spoke softly.

“Not one person has died yet.”

Although the number of corps members has decreased significantly.

“….”

“Anyway, the fact that you came here means that the castle has been captured.”

Since the 0 Corps members would not have let them in easily, does coming here mean that they are dead?

No, maybe I could have dealt with it moderately and then backed off, pretending that I couldn’t win. He might have abandoned his poor superior’s name and run away. It doesn’t matter either way. Because I didn’t expect much from the beginning.

Still, I opened my mouth to confirm.

“The 0 Corps members must have been guarding it.”

“Of course I killed them all. “It seemed like they wouldn’t let me go without killing me.”

D’Vellania received the word as if she had been waiting for it.

“He was so strong that I wanted to ask how he trained him. Do you see that the number of our corps members has decreased significantly? “It’s all about those bastards.”

“….”

…did he die in the end?

I could have done it in moderation and run away, but what on earth was my order?

The blood flows without a pause. Deon, who was quietly looking down at it, seemed anxious, and Lirinel hurriedly reported the results, one step behind the scenes.

“As Deon guessed, the conquest of Rweche has been completed. “The king set fire to his palace and died with him, so there is no evidence to say this, but the gate was opened and the demons entered and overturned it, so you can say it is over.”

As soon as Lirinel’s words seemed to have ended, Dernivan and Jaykar’s reports followed suit.

“The conquest of Shanguo has also been completed. “I couldn’t take the king’s head because it got in the way of fast movement, but since I cut off the king’s head myself, there is no problem.”

“The empire opened its gates. “Something happened and I came here before I could completely organize it, but I saw the rebellion before I left, so there’s nothing to worry about.”

Regardless of whether the emperor dies in a rebellion or not, the empire cannot be revived as long as the final gate is opened and a rebellion occurs. Even if it is revived, it will take a considerable amount of time, so it can be considered virtually ruined.

That’s enough. Deon nodded.

How many people would have died trying to cross the wall, and how many more would have died crossing it. Every time I heard the report, my blood rose like crazy, but I didn’t care.

Instead, he looked around at the three corps commanders with calm eyes.

“I have somewhere to go, so I’d like to leave you with the cleanup here.”

“Wasn’t that my role from the beginning?”

“Please leave it to me!”

Jaykar answered calmly, and Ririnel responded enthusiastically. Dernivan nodded silently, and Trover, the commander of the 9th Corps, who was standing hesitantly nearby…

“If that is an order…”

“…?”

What, was he on my side?

Deon’s head tilted to one side.

“Why you? “I don’t really remember having a conversation like this with you.”

“If it was a special conversation… I had it with Dan.”

My teeth chattered when I mentioned Dan’s name. From the looks of it, it doesn’t seem like he was involved in this for a good reason… Did he sign a contract or something?

Come to think of it, when a banquet was held in the past, I saw Dan playing a card game…like gambling against the corps commanders. I also heard people talking about betting with the right to wish.

[I won. Was the wishing right on this bet?]

[…Damn.]

But not long after that, he was imprisoned and died, so there was no time to use the wishing right…

‘Ah.’

Suddenly, Deon thought of the Demon King who had brought the 9th Legion commander down to the dungeon where Dan was located.

‘It’s that time.’

I was out of my mind at the time and just passed it over, but thinking about it, it was strange. There was no way he would have accompanied the 9th Corps commander for no reason. Even the 9th Corps commander is a random demon with no connection to the incident at the time. There must have been Dan’s influence.

The wish ticket, which had no particular use, must have been used here.

“…step.”

I buried it all, but it came out again like this.

What should I do with you? It’s been a long time since Deon said that name.
