Reborn as the Enemy Prince - Chapter 424

Chapter 75. I should become a great wizard (5)

I know what it means to be green.

I lived under a blue sky, next to a blue lake, and surrounded by numerous green trails. Of course, the royal forest I visited for hunting and the trees planted around the royal capital were green.

But I didn’t know what green was.

Even on the way back from Jelita for her coming-of-age ceremony, she didn’t feel anything. She just passed the time, not even bothering to open the big window of the carriage and not seeing anything green.

Now I know what is green.

The sunlight shining on the new leaves is blue, the sound of water falling from a high place is blue, and the waves that break like the Milky Way and wet your feet are blue. The smell of grass from small bushes and the young fog at my fingertips were green. The sound of Lucy running, Anne’s roar, and Riri’s laughter are also blue.

She smells of sour tangerines. That’s what my younger brother, who likes sour things so much, said.

‘He’s such a green person.’

…… no. That’s it.

I knew so much until now, but there were so many things I didn’t know, and now I learned about them again. As I remembered that I learned a few more things today, I started to capture my thoughts that were running wild without my knowledge. And then quietly turned her head.

‘I’ll let you know again once I find you safely. ‘About the mountains.’

I looked at the mountain on the other side, passing by the blue water of the valley flowing far below in the blue air of the mountain, which was very different from the forest.

– Shoot!

Plantz, who had been looking at the bridge that Calian had crossed and that was not visible from where he was standing because it was obscured by bushes, returned his gaze. I also took my eyes off the green scar-like valley between the mountains, where I couldn’t tell how deep it was at a glance. Instead, I looked where everyone was looking.

‘It’s not your fault, brother.’

‘If Xeon had targeted Your Highness, he would have killed Lord Ren, the Chamberlain, and all the other servants. So I wasn’t targeting your highness.’

‘Even if it is true that they were targeting Your Majesty, it has nothing to do with you. This is the fault of those who targeted Your Highness, not your fault.’

Before coming here.

All the way up to the fifth floor of Chermil Palace, Kalyan said that. He left aside any explanation as to what had happened and why he was vacating the palace so quickly, and only said that.

I’m afraid my brother will behave erratically again.

‘It’s not self-blame. ‘I’m worried.’

So he answered.

My younger brother, who taught me what green means, told me that among those green things, there was also an expression of concern for someone.

“……Sir Bridget.”

After finishing his brief reminiscence, Planz called Aila something else instead of ‘my brother’s new subordinate.’ Eila, who was watching Euria’s surroundings with Randel behind her, answered quietly.

“Your Majesty.”

“I understand that the only person being escorted was my brother.”

“no.”

A blunt answer came back.

That was the end. There was no other explanation.

Part of it was because she was nervous because she didn’t know when they would show up, but in fact, Aila didn’t talk much either.

Maybe I should say that I am very shy. I haven’t had too many conversations with Plantz to talk as long as I did with Calian.

“Sir Brigitte, I am escorting Prince Randel. That is what I received from the prince.”

Thanks to this, Kirie, who would not lose by being reticent, intervened. Although she was standing further away from Aela, it wasn’t so much that she couldn’t hear their conversation. Of course, even if that were the case, the fact that it was too short of an answer to fully understand the situation still remains.

Anyway, the quick-witted Plantz understood it reasonably well. Even after seeing him draw his sword, he left without saying a word, and in fact, it seems that he had already placed Plantz under ‘guard’ long ago. So, I guess they pushed him in next to Randel like this and had Aila and Kirie stand blocking the way. Kalyan.

“why.”

“They are difficult for you to deal with.”

“I’ve dealt with it.”

There was an incident in Secretia’s villa where Plants alone blocked Zeon to buy time for Hina and Kirie to go to Marquis Lin’s residence. It’s very unfair that there are many days when not only Calian but also the Vulcan people don’t trust him, but isn’t Plantz also a person who knows how to use a sword?

“You got hurt while fighting.”

“I didn’t get hurt because it was too heavy.”

okay. I did get hurt.

But that was because I got hit by the anesthetic they threw, not because I lacked skills.

“To escort His Majesty Planz and Prince Randel. That is what I was instructed by the prince.”

“How long for me”

“Furthermore, I heard that you are also someone who should not be healed by divine power.”

“… You said you don’t have a heavy mouth. That’s true. My brother.”

“You were just worried that there might be trouble.”

“There’s no need to get treatment. Anyway.”

Not only did I not get hurt, but even if it wasn’t for that reason, I had no intention of receiving treatment from Randel. Of course, the same goes for Randel. There would be no intention of extending Plantz’s lifeline twice.

Plantz caught a glimpse of Randel, who was still standing silently. Then, he walked next to where Kirie was standing and spoke to her in a low voice.

“The smell of blood.”

Kyrie’s eyes turned to Plantz.

Plantz, who was staring straight at it, spoke quietly.

“……I heard it was from my brother.”

“that.”

Kirie opened her mouth to answer.

But Plantz’s words were not over.

“Why is the wound on my palm still the same?”

“This is an open wound I received while sparring with Lord Castrin yesterday.”

“Even if it was, it’s past time for it to heal again.”

I got hurt.

I was not talking about simple injuries such as grazes and cuts. It wasn’t just the palm that was injured. Nevertheless, he had Hina come to the palace, but he himself used a moving magic circle without any intention of receiving treatment. I can’t wait for Hina to come.

“I won’t ask why you got hurt or what condition you are in.”

“I’m sorry. No matter what you say, I have no intention of disobeying the prince’s orders. So please stay behind, my lord.”

“Because I’m worried.”

‘Don’t worry. No matter what happens, I will bring you back safely.’

“I’m worried. Let’s get this sorted out as soon as possible and go help your brother. That’s what I’m saying. I’m not saying that you should disobey my great brother’s orders.”

Kyrie’s eyes, which were looking at Plants, turned to the mountain on the other side.

After a while, a voice as low as Plants’ voice was heard.

“Lowering.”

“why.”

“If your mind is distracted, the tip of your sword will also lose its direction.”

“That’s what I’m saying.”

“I know how to focus on the fight.”

“I know. Me too. That much.”

“They are not people you can deal with easily.”

“I know. That too.”

“… So, don’t be too forceful. Don’t try to deal with him hastily. When things get difficult, back off.”

“okay.”

“All right.”

Permission came back.

And with him.

– I’m going to go to the middle of the day!

– Kwaang kwaaaang!

Purple lightning began to fall.

* * *

The wind rose.

The bridge, which had been shaking even in the light wind, just continued to shake, without the slightest sign of anything more than the wind. There was no clear seal visible. But before I knew it, someone had crossed the bridge and was blocking my path. And the wind rose.

– …… Boom!

– Boom boom! thud!

When the wind died down, four bodies with exactly the same wounds on their necks were lying on the floor. Those who were Zeon’s swordsmen just moments ago disappeared in an instant.

One of Zeon’s men stopped the remaining pursuers. Then he opened his mouth, glaring into the red eyes of the person facing him.

“……Kalian.”

“Prince.”

Calian, who heard what he said, smiled brightly and added.

“You should call me that. That’s rude.”

You look just like Brissen without the braided hair.

Calian, who was muttering this, looked ahead. And he checked the results of his first attack.

‘four.’

He killed four people.

Thirty-three left.

The number is much greater than Kirie expected. That means there were so many talented people that Kirie couldn’t guess his footsteps. For example, the wolves of the Great Desert.

Even though he knew that, Calian was not particularly shaken. Because he was expecting it. It’s not like that Slay was the only one who couldn’t withstand that number of moves and his side was pierced.

“Prince Kalyan. We are not with you now.”

The one who had first called Kalian opened his mouth again.

– Slut!

– Suddenly!

However, the conversation did not continue.

With a flash of red light, the body of the man with half of his head cut off tumbled down the cliff.

“I’m sorry for cutting you off.”

You may or may not know that I cut off the head, not the horse.

Calian continued to move his red lips.

“I didn’t come to negotiate.”

A belated explanation of the reason for the attack follows.

– Ugh!

– Ugh…!

Zeon’s swordsmen, who briefly lowered their swords, filled their swords with aura. Calian’s red lips, who had not moved a single step since arriving here, drew a long line.

– Taaat!

As if they didn’t like the leisurely smile of the person who jumped in alone, they quickly forgot about the deaths of their five colleagues and rushed towards Calian.

“Prince, I will help you.”

“Please take care of your Majesty and Lord Siegfried. It’s okay.”

Calian, who stopped Ronansite, moved his magic.

-Wheeeee…!

A strong wind blew again.

The wind blew towards the guys standing in front of them, carrying all the scattered leaves and dirt and small stones scattered here and there in the mountain.

Those whose vision was obstructed unconsciously frowned.

– Ugh!

– ……Ssam!

Then, as if waiting for the right moment, five red swords rose in the air and flew towards the guys. A red afterimage is etched into my blurred vision.

A red light whose direction cannot be determined.

The moment it catches your eye.

-Ssam!

– Kwasik!

The end of life is declared.

– Cum, cum, cum!

– Suddenly!

– …… Kwasik!

Calian did not move at all, but the men with their throats pierced, their hearts pierced, and their foreheads dented fell one by one on the floor in a cloud of dust.

– Kaaang kaaang!

– Kwasik!

When I barely opened my eyes due to the strong wind, I saw people dying without fail. If you step forward, you are dead. If you stand still, you are dead. I barely managed to block a blade flying from somewhere, but before I knew it, another blade came from behind and pierced my body. When my back felt cold, the sword dug into my side pierced my heart.

Death continued to be contained in the wind, which was stronger than the wind coming up from the valley.

– Boom boom!

– Kwasik! Coooooo!

-……Suddenly!

When the wind that made it difficult to see what was ahead had died down, those who had barely opened their eyes hurriedly looked around.

“Twenty-five.”

Calian’s voice sounded as if there was no need to try.

Twenty-five people have died so far, and only twelve remain.

Among the remaining fighters, one warrior who had survived after striking all of Calian’s swords in the dust cloud standing in front looked at Calian.

‘Still hasn’t moved a single step.’

He stood in front of Lemain, Slayman, and Ronansite and killed twenty-five people without moving his body even an inch. In that short period of time, he killed as many as twenty-five people. If I had jumped in with that skill, holding a sword, everyone in this group might have already died. Nevertheless, Calian did not move.

Is it to protect those standing behind me, or is it because I don’t think I need to expend my strength?

‘Are you going to save yourself?’

Did you get any injuries?

The warrior, who had come up with several assumptions in a split second, put his hands back. And he made a short hand signal to his eleven colleagues excluding himself.

– Hold on. Wait for other warriors.

Instead of pushing forward, we decided to block the incoming attacks and wait for reinforcements, either from the opposite mountain or from this mountain, who had seen the signal flares fired earlier.

– Sasasak!

Those who confirmed the hand signal changed formation.

Instead of a spread formation to attack one person, a dense formation was formed to withstand multiple enemies and gain time.

A strange smile appeared on Calian’s lips when he saw that.

– Bruises.

Kalian moved his feet.

But instead of stepping forward, he turned his body and stood looking behind him. He saw Slayman, who was barely standing with a deep wound that he didn’t know where or by whom, and Ronanci Te, who was supporting Slayman. And only then did he meet his eyes, bowing his head towards someone with hair of the same color as him and blue eyes of a completely different light.

“I came to collect you, Your Highness.”

He said his greetings a little late.

It was as if the twelve people standing together in fear were not even in their minds.

* * *

It didn’t take long to realize that it was useless.

– Pajjik kwaaang!

– Kwaang boom! Kwaaaaang!

I will also take up a sword.

Okay, so come to your senses and fight.

There was no need to have such a tragic conversation.

– Quaaaaang quaggwagwang!

Someone has to come, whether they fight with a sword or not.

Who would dare get close to Euria’s thunderbolts?

“… Please stay back, my lord.”

“…… okay.”

One knight and one crown prince, who had witnessed the natural disaster brought about by Euria, calmly took a step back.

– Kwagwagwang kwaang! Quaaaang!

Dozens of lightning continued to shake the mountain.

A deep sound echoes and a distant bridge sways.

The smell of burning flesh and bones was everywhere. Aela opened her mouth quietly, as if she had no curiosity whatsoever about what flesh and bones it was.

“There will be a counterattack from the wizard. The knights can’t come.”

Kyrie nodded her head. And she grabbed her sword and prepared for a magic attack that might come at any moment.

Euria, who was quietly watching her blackened earth as if she did not know what was going on behind the scenes, opened her mouth. She was facing in a direction other than the group behind her.

“Great Desert Puppies. A lot of them have come.”

“…… Reaper.”

Among the black corpses lying around haphazardly, one of those who survived the lightning strike surprisingly intact spoke as if chewing.

“If you want to know, go.”

Euria, who now likes ‘Coco Dad’ more than her childhood nickname of ‘Noonday Reaper’, responded. However, those people who would not back down even then looked behind Euria and opened her mouth.

“If you were here, the prince would have come too.”

“Uh. I don’t know which prince you’re talking about, but they all came anyway. So let’s go.”

Whoosh whoosh.

Euria waved her hand as if to shoo away a bird, and then added her words to the warriors of the Great Desert, radiating her deep murderous spirit.

“If you don’t want to be left behind.”

The robe, unable to handle the gathering magical power, flapped wildly.

The warriors who saw this nodded to the other swordsmen and wizards who were lucky enough to be saved because they were not within the range of the lightning, and then kicked her foot. It was towards Euria.

It seemed like she knew that would happen.

Euria’s gaze fell to the feet of her warriors.

– Rumbling, rumbling….

-…… Suddenly!

The ground in the direction the warriors were approaching trembled like waves. Then, a piece of dirt came out, as if a mole had raised its head. she is with him

– Quaaaang!

– Pajijik pajik!

A stream of water so gigantic that it seemed like it had been drawn up from the water below the valley, gushing out in front of the warriors. And then it climbed up, wrapping around the bodies of the three warriors who were charging at the front. The power of lightning in the water began to stir the warriors’ bodies.

– Quaaaaa quaaaaaang!

Euria’s hand did not stop.

With one hand, he sent an electric current through the three warriors’ entire bodies, and with the other hand, he once again moved the water. A stream of water pierced the floor and poured towards the warriors in a different direction.

– Quaaaa!

Just like a flood pouring down from a mountain, a tsunami that goes over the mountain and sweeps away everything that lies in front of it.

A huge stream of water, trapping three warriors, two swordsmen, and a wizard, poured down into the valley.

At the end of a long scream, a dull bursting sound is heard.

I fell down the valley, so even if I were a warrior of the great desert, I wouldn’t be able to survive.

– Faaah!

But at that moment.

The wizard who was lucky enough to escape the fall by teleporting appeared behind Euria.

– Howling!

After confirming his location, he quickly used his magic power. He instinctively kicked his feet with him and extended his sword towards the wizard. but.

-Ssam!

– …… Kwasik!

A dagger flew at the wizard as if he didn’t even know that Euria was right behind him and hit the wizard’s neck.

Unlike Planz, who won’t die right away even if you leave his side while he approaches the enemy and uses his sword, Randel is someone you shouldn’t be away from even for a moment. I guess that’s why they named Aila, who is good at memorizing things. Aela, who fully understood Calian’s intentions, threw her dagger instead of extending her sword or kicking out her foot.

– Kuguguggung… Quaaaang!

– Pajijik pajik!

Euria, who didn’t even pay attention to the wizard who passed her by, continued to deal with Zeon’s bastards, who still had many remaining.

Before she knew it, she had come within a stone’s throw, blocked the feet of those wielding her sword with a stream of water, and then teleported away. She then shot an arrow of lightning at the guy who had been attacking her just a moment ago. It didn’t stop there, but spread an electric current across the water-soaked floor, slowing down the warriors’ movements.

If you come within range of attacking Euria and swing her sword, you will cut her in the air. After confirming that Euria has already left her body, she turns her gaze and an electric attack comes from her. As she avoided it, another rushing swell swept over her body. If she plunged her sword into the tree’s roots and resisted being swept away, her electric spear was right around the corner again.

– Quaaaang!

In this way, the number of her swordsmen and warriors continued to decrease, unable to get even close to Euria.

The eight wizards who couldn’t even come close to the group exchanged glances with each other. And she nodded as if she had decided on something. At the same time

– Faaah!

– Paaaaah!

They all teleported to a distance that was long enough to pass by Euria and attack the remaining party members. Then, without any delay, he gathered his magic power and began attacking the remaining party members.

– Howling!

– Ugh…… I’m so touched!

– Pajijik pajik!

The forces of fire, water, and lightning were seen gathering from all directions.

Without any time to waste, Kirie rushed forward and sent out her sword like the wind. After that, Aila’s memorization continued to pour out.

– Kwasik!

-Ssam! Sigh!

– Suddenly!

In an instant, five wizards were rolling around on the floor, losing their lives. One wizard breathed his last breath at the end of Plantz’s sword as he ran away with Kyrie.

That moment.

– Faaah!

A wizard who teleported away from Kyrie’s sword appeared from somewhere else. And then I saw this person standing right in front of me.

blond hair.

The weakest prince, unable to use a sword or magic.

He stretched out his arm toward Randel.

Kirie and Eila Plantz, who were looking for the missing wizard, turned their heads towards them. Euria, understanding her situation, stretched out her arm towards Randel.

The wizard laughed.

It doesn’t matter. No matter who does anything, it is late. I took out a dagger without any need to use magic. And he aimed at Randel.

– Sigh.

Randel stretched out his arm towards the wizard.

Then.

– Paaaa!

It released healing power.

With his hand placed half a span away from the wizard’s body. Without even touching the wizard’s body.

– …… Chiik!

– Chiik chiik!

The wizard, engulfed in a dazzling red light, clutched his heart.

The severe repulsive force that met the strong divine power began to burn my insides.

A terrible scream rings out.

– Tuk!

Aela came up like she was flying, grabbed the wizard by the collar, and shook him away. He then squeezed her chest and kicked the suffering wizard hard in the solar plexus.

No big deal.

The wizard’s body, which had taken a few steps backwards, suddenly stopped. The wizard, knowing that he has reached the edge of a cliff, belatedly moves his magic.

– Patter patter!

But it’s already too late to turn back.

The wizard’s long scream continues as he falls helplessly downwards.

Aila, who had not expected the wizard to come that close and take out her dagger, turned her head to Randel to convey her apology.

“It is done.”

But Randel gave this answer first.

Rather than saying it was my first time attacking someone, I was just treating them. With a calm face, not the slightest bit agitated.

Plantz, who once again made a firm decision that receiving treatment from Randel would be something that would never happen again in my life, chuckled. Then, as Aela’s dagger flew into the heart of the last wizard who had moved this way, she turned her eyes and looked around.

Those guys who kept attacking them without getting tired. Euria’s magic was spreading towards them. I saw Kirie and Aela continuing to stand guard with tense faces. Plantz’s gaze wavered for a moment as he looked away from them again.

– Crack, tap!

This was because people who had already crossed the bridge came into view.

Because the melee continued, and because the tremendous roar created by Euria’s magic seemed to be deafening. I didn’t notice or hear the people crossing the bridge. Even Kyrie.

That’s why I finally saw it.

Slayman was seen struggling to get to her feet while being supported by Ronansite. I saw Lemain following behind him.

But there was no one I was supposed to be with.

“Lord Siegfried.”

It was a miraculously created silence.

Kirie turned her head as Plantz’s voice rang through them. Slayman, with an urgent look on his face, spoke to Kirie.

“Lord Bern. Hurry and get to the other side.”

“All right.”

Kirie nodded her head without a single question and ran towards the bridge. But then.

– Slut!

A red dagger flew like light.

Then, without hesitation, he brushed past one of the pillars of the bridge.

– Touduk… Took!

The sound of a thick rope breaking was heard.

I heard the knot in my strong leg being loosened.

Planz’s eyes widened.

leg.

On that bridge.

The guys, who were well over 30 years old, were already on the bridge.

Calian was on the bridge blocking them.

* * *

‘Lord Siegfried.’

‘Yes, my prince.’

‘Was there a warrior of the Great Desert among them?’

‘I’m fifteen.’

‘What’s left?’

‘There are seven left. There’s probably more.’

‘All right. There’s a healer across the bridge, so go there first. I’ll take care of the rest.’

‘Can you handle it alone?’

Calian laughed.

‘As long as your back is light, it’s okay.’

* * *

I couldn’t understand the situation.

He was so busy fighting on this side that he couldn’t look at the other side.

The strong smell of blood wafts up to this place.

– Slut!

The red sword flew up again.

I saw that.

“what……!”

The red sword did not stop.

I headed towards the only bridge that connected mountains to mountains.

It flew in with a thick rope attached to a solid stake driven into the cliff.

-……Suddenly!

I cut it off.

I cut it all off.

My legs, which have lost one more place to support them, are greatly shaken. The leg that lost the rope twists uncontrollably. The legs screamed as if they were struggling to withstand the weight of those climbing on them.

– Ujikkeun!

My legs wobble greatly once again.

The red sword flies once again.

I fly towards the last rope that was barely holding on to my wobbly legs. In the end, it flew at a speed that no bird could stop.

– Suddenly!

Cut the last rope.

“……Kalian.”

There was no answer.

– Tuk tuk tuk!

– Ujikkeun!

My legs, which had lost all support, were broken.

Those who lost their balance were thrown off the bridge.

– Kugung… Kwaaang!

For a split second, a red gaze struck me.

The guy laughed.

and.

“Calian!”

crash

To that endless valley full of green.
