Reborn as the Enemy Prince - Chapter 87

Chapter 18. Because I have a lot (1)

– Slut!

The ice spear created in an instant was shot out.

The distance between Arsene and his opponent was only about three steps.

Therefore, Arsene’s ice spear reached the opponent’s chest as soon as it was created.

– Kaang!

But the opponent blocked it.

The ice shattered as it hit the hard marble floor.

If you look at it with your eyes and move it, you will die.

If you hear a sound and move, you will surely die.

That was Arsene’s ice. It was that fast.

Nevertheless, the opponent was trying to block or evade the sharp tip of the ice before it reached the body.

Arsene has now given up counting how many attacks have been blocked. This was because no matter where and in what direction the ice spear was thrown, it was blocked.

When the gaze of those surrounding them from a distance reached the piece of ice on the ground, three blast sounds followed Arsene’s hand in succession.

– Scum! Slut! Ssak!

Three ice spears aimed at the heart, the back of the neck, and the top of the head split the air at the same time. The opponent’s lips drew a long arc in the changed attack pattern.

His body holding the sword moved quickly, leaving an afterimage.

– Kaaaang! Valid!

After easily blowing away the ice flying at his heart, he immediately twisted his body around, stretched out his sword, and retrieved it. The extended sword retrieved the ice that had fallen on his head, and the returning sword was blocked by the ice flying from behind.

– Toad, toad, toad!

The ice that fell on the floor was scattered into pieces without fail. This meant that it was not just hitting the ice, but also giving a lot of impact to the ice. Arsene attacked without stopping.

– Scum!

– Kaaaang!

The ice spear that rushed at me so fiercely plummeted to the floor again.

Arsene was not weak. The opponent was strong.

If you think about how Brisen’s knights died one by one with this ice spear, you can get a rough idea of how strong the person who is currently dealing with Arsene is.

– Easy profit!

Streams of ice poured out from Arsene’s fingertips.

Even at first glance, there are more than a dozen needle-thin and sharp condensed ice.

The sword disappeared from the opponent’s hand after checking the number.

no. Rather than saying it disappeared, it would be more correct to say that it changed its form in an instant. The sword that had been emitting sharp anticipation had suddenly become a round and wide shield.

– Ta-da-da-da-dan!

The opponent, who blocked the attack with his newly created shield, kicked the ground.

Arsene, who saw that the man who was just blocking the attack was rushing right in front of him, used his magic without delay. His figure disappeared without any starting words and appeared behind the other person.

The target disappeared, but the opponent did not panic. He swung his shield towards his back with a fluid motion.

– Boom!

In an instant, Arsene’s body, with a look of despair on his face, disappeared again. The shield that had split the air where he was just moments ago quickly took the shape of a sword.

However, this time it is a short sword, not a long sword.

At the same time, Arsene appeared a little further away from the other party.

– Shhh!

As if he had already read the thoughts and movements, the other person’s dagger flew towards where Arsene appeared.

“Eek!”

Arsene, startled, quickly displayed his shield. That was when I was trying to teleport again while protecting my body like that.

– Kagagak!

The dagger flew with an ominous sound and pierced the shield.

The shield, which had been intact even after being attacked several times by Brisen’s knights, was pierced by a single dagger. The shield that glowed white for a moment disappeared into vain.

Soon, the blade, like a piece of glass, plunged straight into Arsene’s neck. It was while Arsene realized that his shield had been destroyed and paused for just a moment.

That was when everyone watching felt danger.

The dagger, which seemed ready to pierce the neck at any moment, stopped tall as if someone had grabbed it. And then it lost its shape and disappeared, as if it was dispersing in the air.

This was after inflicting a small wound on Arsene’s neck.

– gulp.

Arsene felt his skin tingle slightly and swallowed dry saliva. If the dagger hadn’t stopped and disappeared, there would have been a hole the size of a dagger in Arsene’s neck by now.

So it was Arsene’s defeat.

Arsene raised both hands and opened his mouth.

“You lost, Prince.”

Calian, the opponent who suddenly came to spar with Arsene after a long time, smiled and nodded.

“Thank you for your hard work, Sir Hertz.”

At those words, the white-robed wizards who had been watching the two’s sparring without even being able to breathe stood up all at once.

Cheers came out of everyone’s mouths.

“Wow!”

“Awesome!”

Even though he didn’t use auras, isn’t he still a sword master? It must have been quite a bit of eye candy to see Calian and Arsene exchanging attacks right in front of my eyes.

Calian laughed briefly at the shouts that shook the training ground, then took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it to Arsene.

It was because of the blood flowing drop by drop.

“I’m surprised. Can you now teleport without a starter?”

“It wasn’t that long ago. Sir Grace was very helpful.”

It was a humble answer that gave credit to Rachel Grace, the master of movement magic.

Soon the two stood side by side and started to leave the training ground. Meanwhile, Calian looked at Arsene and asked.

“But there’s no need to get close and attack the person holding the sword, right?”

It was like that a little while ago, and it was like that when I remember the last days of Bern. Arsene came right in front of him and blocked and destroyed Bern’s sword.

Arsene answered as if it was no big deal.

“It’s no fun fighting if you’re separated from your opponent, right?”

Calian looked at Arsene with a speechless face.

Even though they have teleportation, wizards are inevitably slower than those with swords. Wasn’t Arsene also unable to do anything special after his shield was broken just now?

Nevertheless, this wizard who specializes in interpersonal attacks likes to exchange attacks and defense right under the swordsman’s nose.

“I almost died just now.”

Therefore, when Calian said this, Arsene grinned.

Looking at Arsene, who took risks just because it was fun, Calian nodded without interfering further.

It was Arsene who caught Bern anyway.

Of course, I had no arms, I couldn’t sleep for more than three days, so my concentration was terrible, there were about 15 arrows stuck in my body, and I was bleeding a lot, so it was difficult to control myself properly.

But anyway, he is a wizard who defeated the Sword Master.

You’ll take care of everything.

“Don’t teach other crew members to do that.”

“Of course. Don’t worry.”

Arsene answered politely, stroking the back of his neck with his hand.

“But I was very surprised when the prince threw away the sword. If that were the case, there would be no point in fighting at a distance. It’s truly amazing that you were able to maintain the magic sword even after it was taken from your hand.”

It was a word of sincere admiration.

Calian responded as if there was still a long way to go.

“I can maintain it for a short throw, but any more than that is difficult.”

Then he added a word in a very indifferent tone.

“Once you throw it, you can’t control it and you can’t retrieve it.”

“…… yes?”

Wait.

I can’t control it and I can’t retrieve it.

Arsene, who had stopped on his feet, asked again with a strange look on his face.

“Why did you throw it knowing that?”

Calian laughed.

“Faith in Sir’s abilities.”

It sounds like faith!

Isn’t it just a case of luck that it disappeared right in front of my neck?

Arsene looked like he had a lot to say.

Wizards who had no way of knowing Arsene’s feelings gathered around him. The Balkan crew had now increased to about 50 people.

Arsene, who realized that if he had not been careful, would have crossed the Seneu River on a flower petal, cursed Calian as if he was talking to himself.

The swear words Arsene uttered probably did not reach Calian’s ears as the wizards, who had enjoyed their time together for the first time in a long time, were chatting excitedly.

Kirie heard everything.

* * *

Soon, Arsene called the wizards into the training hall and began teaching them what they had just learned from the Ogan Workshop. Calian, who was sitting on a chair outside the training ground and watching the scene, opened his mouth.

“How is it.”

I wasn’t talking to myself. It was a question directed at Plantz, who was sitting right next to him. Planz, who was sitting with eyes that showed no interest in the world, asked.

“what.”

There was a reason why Calian went out on this beautiful spring day and had a fight with Arsene.

It’s because of Planz.

Of course, it wasn’t like I went on a friendly picnic with Plants.

Wizard Vulcan.

This was not a group that simply gathered wizards and shot fireballs. If that were the case, he wouldn’t have gained the notoriety of being a devil.

In the past, Balkan was founded by Lemain but written by Plantz.

So who would have made them ‘devils’?

“Aren’t you planning on training those wizards?”

It was Planz.

Calian knows that he left all the management of the country to Silike and focused only on developing the Balkans.

Of course, Planz is still young. It may be different from the past. But Kalian also knows that Plantz is very different from most people his age.

“You’re barking again.”

When Plantz, who had been swinging a sword for a while, was suddenly asked to train wizards, words that did not hide his discomfort came out of Plantz’s mouth. Calian didn’t care since he heard it once a day anyway.

“I’m not telling you to teach swordsmanship.”

Although he was still receiving military training, Calian became greedy. I wondered why I would leave the work to someone else when the original owner was playing around right next to me anyway.

After hearing Calian’s words, Plantz smiled and said.

“I don’t know why you’re calling me when you can do it well.”

Calian smiled at those words and said.

“Because what I know doesn’t belong to this country. I’ll get caught.”

Yes. Now, Plantz also knew quite a bit about Calian’s secret. Calian said the same thing to Plantes as he did to Lemain.

Of course, how could Bern, who was both a king and a knight, not know Kairis’ strategy and tactics? It was difficult to get directly involved in Balkan affairs.

“I already have a lot of things, so if I manage even the Balkans, it will be a lot of trouble.”

By now, Briesen and Randel must have known well that Balkan’s power was not something to be laughed at. Therefore, the Balkans should not yet belong to Kalyan. The balance of power had to be maintained until Briesen or Randel was left alone.

And there was one more great reason for Planz to become involved with the Balkans.

“If you do nothing like this and stay in my shadow, you will die.”

Calian spoke to Plantz with a serious face.

The front door of the Marquis Briesen was opened. It sounded like Evan had started moving again.

“My brother and I joined hands, but you don’t have any real power. Marquis Briesen will definitely try to get rid of you first.”

Planz looked at the training ground without saying a word. Kalian seemed to be thinking about it, so he said no more and waited.

They heard someone approaching behind them.

“Prince Calian.”

I turned my head and saw Jan standing there. He had an expression on his face that said he really didn’t want to say it, but he had to say it.

“what’s the matter?”

“Marquis Evan Briesen has requested to meet with you now. What should I do?”

A smile appeared on Calian’s lips as he knew what the plan was.

“Did you come to check if my aurors were visible?”

It’s funny.

Evan probably thinks he’s weaker than Calian right now.

He’s just been playing around for a while. Calian, who was unfamiliar with the situation, did not refuse and nodded.

“Tell him to wait. I’m going.”

“Yes, prince.”

Calian turned his head back to where the Vulcan soldiers were and said to Plantz.

“Look. Doesn’t it show right away? Jan must have said that I was here with my brother. Nevertheless, the fact that you asked to meet me by pointing out me means that you are no longer my brother in the eyes of the Marquis of Briesen.” Planz still did not answer. It was not because he did not understand, but because he knew the same thing. “Once in

Balkan

. Let’s take care of it.”

“…Okay.”

After hearing the answer he wanted, Calian got up from his seat with a light heart and walked out of the training ground.

To see how much sharper the old lion’s teeth had become.
