Infinite Mage - Chapter 867
Grogi (2)
The name of the man who managed the nameless shelter was a wizard named Veterus.
Nothing was revealed other than his name, but the way he commanded the shelter gave off the scent of a soldier.
‘Veterus.’
If he was a famous wizard, Lian would have heard of him, but he had never heard of him.
Shiro, who was more familiar with the magical society than Rian, didn’t have much of a reaction, but even if he had known, it would have been the same.
“now! Finish the tent work quickly. “It will rain tonight.” The person actually leading the survivors was a woman named Marin, the second-in-command at the shelter.
She was also a soldier, but looking at her relationship with Veterus, it seemed like they had not known each other before.
‘Is he a deserter?’
The army of hell is so powerful that running away is not something anyone can do.
It was reasonable to think that he had deserted his unit before the battle took place.
“Hey newbie! You guys too, come quickly and help! “Unless you want to sleep outside!”
It rained frequently in the central continent, perhaps as an aftereffect of the typhoon that landed in the Gustav Empire.
Since the warhorse had already been handed over, Lian decided to stay in the shelter until the rain stopped.
“Get out of the way, I’ll do it.”
With 100 survivors, it was difficult just to remove the bodies and collect food from nearby areas.
The shelter was still a mess, and more than anything, heavy building debris was impeding work.
As Lian lifted up a rock the size of a human torso, people’s eyes changed.
“wow.”
Rian, who had a rock on his shoulder, lightly threw it and it flew several meters and landed with a thud.
Marin, who sensed the power of schema, asked.
“It’s quite strong, isn’t it? I wondered why he was carrying such a big sword. “Who did you learn it from?”
Although he was influenced by many swordsmen, there was no one he could call his teacher.
“well. “If I may say so, from everything?”
Rian chuckled, perhaps because he thought it was an unsuitable philosophy even though he said it himself.
Marin also seemed to think she was being arrogant, so she frowned slightly and asked.
“What’s your name?”
Lian looked back at Sirone.
Even though people were staring at him, he didn’t seem to care and just seemed lost in thought.
‘It will take time.’
Leaving quietly was the way to go for Sirone.
“It’s just…
When Lian spoke less, Marin became even more displeased.
“it’s okay. “It’s expensive.”
Since she was going to leave when the rain stopped anyway, she didn’t ask any more questions.
“hey! “There you kid!”
A man in his mid-40s who was cleaning up debris from the floor couldn’t bear it anymore and pointed a point at Sirone.
“Can’t you see everyone working now! Do you know that you are still a nobleman? “Come quickly and help!”
Sirone did not respond.
‘Nobility.’
Memories of being born as a mountaineer’s child and growing up in the Ivory Tower passed quickly.
‘What kind of person am I?’
A self-mocking smile appeared, and the expression seemed like an insult to the man.
“This bastard really…
The
ground shook as the huge rock fell.
While the man looked back with a surprised expression, Lian threw a rock that was twice as big as before and said.
“Leave it alone. “Shouldn’t I just work twice as hard as my friend?”
“Yiyi ik!”
The man clenched his fists, but when he saw the size of the rock Li An threw, he let go of his anger.
“Tsk! “You unlucky bastard!”
As Rian continued to work without making a fuss despite being cursed, Marin approached him.
“Why on earth is your friend like that? “Have you gone crazy from the shock of war?”
It wasn’t really wrong.
“It’s similar.”
The woman clicked her tongue.
“It’s a good thing you survived. “How are you going to live like that from now on?”
Ryan was worried about that too.
‘I’m very tired.’
He was beaten by the world.
Even if you hold on to the end without kneeling, that doesn’t mean the spot where you got hit doesn’t hurt.
Can Sirone love the world again?
“This is so pathetic.”
Veterus, who was commanding and supervising from afar, passed by Lian and quickly approached Sirone.
Lian said in a low tone.
“hey.”
But Veterus paid no heed and lit up a flame in front of Sirone.
At the same time, the body of Marin next to him froze due to the deadly energy that rose from Lian.
“omg.”
I felt like my heart was going to burst as the scream rising from my stomach was blocked in my throat.
When Veterus cast a fireball outside the shelter instead of Sirone, Lian’s fierceness disappeared like a lie.
“Haaaa.”
The feeling of the tension disappearing was like an orgasm, and a moan escaped me.
‘What was it? The feeling just a moment ago… was a stimulus and feeling beyond what can be imagined based on experience.
Lian’s gaze was focused on Veterus.
“Did you see it? “This is magic.” Sirone didn’t even turn his head.
“What do you think I must have done to obtain this ability? “I trained my mind every day and trained without stopping.”
There was disgust in Veterus’ eyes.
“It was a pain that someone like you couldn’t even imagine. Still, I grit my teeth and hold on. “Even in a world like this, we struggle to survive somehow.”
For the first time, Sirone’s eyes turned to Veterus.
“Do you know why I hate you? Because it’s selfish. If I were you, I would stand up no matter how hard it was! “I would have done anything!”
“I guess so. But…
Shirone said helplessly.
“You are not me.”
Veterus, whose fever was rising, grabbed Sirone by the collar and pulled her.
“wake up! Nothing is impossible! I can’t do anything because I’m immersed in the mindset of losing! Instead of waiting for someone to do it for you, just grit your teeth and move!”
“I don’t want to do anything.”
Sirone’s body seemed to be stuck to the floor, and Veterus roughly threw him by the collar.
“Tsk! Do you think the world is easy? Is there anyone here who doesn’t have a hard time? “You should at least pretend to do it.”
Sirone pulled his legs and was lost in thought.
‘ I see.’
No matter how hard he tries or how much pain he endures, no one understands Sirone’s life.
How will Veterus react when he hears that he is the Five Stars of the Ivory Tower?
‘word! word! word! ‘I’m sick of it.’
Shirone was also human, so she couldn’t help but hate the demons who slaughter people.
But on the other hand, I wondered if we were so great at looking at a single aspect of a human being and defining the whole.
‘Unless you want to live for them…
humans need to be a little more silent about others.
“Pathetic guy. The only thing I can see is until today. “Turn it out as soon as dawn comes tomorrow.” Veterus was still angry, but Marin finally felt the severity of the situation.
Rian’s life only lasted a moment, but it was enough to change her mind about surviving in the military with little notice.
“Beterus, look at me for a second.”
“what’s the matter?”
Just as I was thinking that Marin’s face wasn’t looking good, I heard the sound of a flying object outside the shelter.
“Hahaha! found! “A human being, a human being!”
When the survivors looked up with pale faces, they saw red things flying outside the unfinished tent.
“They are demons.”
It was unexpected that demons came to a place where only a little more than 100 humans lived.
“Damn it! Everyone was in a defensive posture…
Before Veterus could give instructions, dozens of fireballs fell and devastated the surrounding area.
“Aaaah! “Save people!”
The only people who did not move in the shelter that had been turned into chaos were Sirone and Lian.
“Don’t burn it! “You have to eat!” Veterus trembled when he saw the number of demons that had folded their wings and landed on the ground.
‘There are too many…
There are more than thirty.
However, that was the standard of Veterus, and it was as if Sirone and Lian did not have it.
‘It’s not the military. ‘There’s a deserter over there too.’
There was no emotional turmoil for the two people who dealt with cases ranging from at least 10,000 to 10,000,000 units.
The demons, who were over two meters tall and had tails as long as spears, stroked their bellies and spoke in human language.
“I thought this place was a waste of time, but I never thought there would be humans. “I thought I was going to starve to death, but it’s good.”
“what? There’s a girl over there too! Kiki ki!”
Veterus realized that the fireball explosion occurred at a very bad time.
‘damn! Because of that guy…!’
When I turned my head with harsh eyes, Sirone’s still indifferent face looked even more disgusting.
“There are quite a lot of people. “Give me a choice.”
The demons took their time and pointed at the people, as if enjoying entertainment after a long time.
“Only the first half works for us. Second, each person cuts off an arm and a leg and offers them.”
No matter what you chose, it would be enough for thirty demons to eat.
“Give it time. By coordinating opinions…
“What’s so great about coordinating? “I think you’re the leader, so you make your own decisions.”
Veterus swallowed his saliva.
As long as he sacrificed half as the first condition, he could live without fail.
‘You just have to endure the shame for a moment.’
Marin’s eyes also conveyed the same meaning.
“I will save half of you.”
“Puhhehehe! Okay, that’s fun too. Then, will you choose those who will be eaten quickly? “We are very hungry.”
It may have been a difficult decision, but it was too easy to choose the first victim.
Veterus pointed to Sirone.
“It’s him.”
“Wow, this guy is so cold-hearted? Without even thinking about it! Anyway, good. Hey, you’re the winner!”
Sirone did not move.
“hey! Come this way! “The captain here sold you out!”
“Puhhehehe! I was absolutely terrified. “Okay, if you’re escaping from reality, I’ll have to remind you of reality.”
The demon standing behind approached Sirone, stomping his reptilian claws on the ground.
“Hey hey kid! Wake.”
The demon with protruding smiles shook his shoulders, but Shirone did not even turn his head.
“The demon, completely bewildered,
bent its side at 90 degrees and looked into Sirone’s face, then stopped talking.
A very long silence followed.
“What are you doing? Bring it quickly. “We are hungry.”
The demon’s lips opened gently.
“Uh…
It seemed like I was choosing my words, but in reality, no thoughts came into my head.
“Uh, uh…
The demon, who was slowly backing away with a terrified expression, hit his butt with a thump.
“Ugh… Ugh…
It was the first time that the survivors, and even Veterus and Marine who served in the military, had seen the demons scared.
‘Why are you doing that?’
As if it didn’t know it had fallen, the demon’s legs were still pretending to take a step backwards.
“Run away.”
“escape? Why are we running away…
Before he could finish speaking, the demon in front of Shirone shouted, crawling on the floor with both hands.
“Yahweh!”
Sirone turned his head.
The moment they saw his face, the demons recalled the heavy rain of light that fell on the Gustav Empire.
“Keeeeee!”
The moment they all spread their wings in unison, screaming with expressions of soullessness.
“stop.”
“Kee?????!”
The screams suddenly stopped and the movements of the demons stopped.
“You guys, come here for a moment.”
I couldn’t even think of running away from Yahweh, who had blown up the entire empire.
As the thirty demons walked along, paying attention, Veterus’ face became blank.
‘Yahweh?’
A myth-like story I heard many times in the military.
“Infinite Wizard?”
