Talent-Swallowing Magician - Chapter 241

Episode 241:

A splendid return

to the city of Bjorn.

A historic city that was the largest in the eastern region just a few hundred years ago.

However, due to the imperial family’s intentional neglect, the population continued to flow out and its size also decreased.

Currently, the place is almost empty due to the war with the eastern frontier and a procession of refugees.

Still, the citizens who remained here, unable to bear to leave their hometown where they had lived their entire lives, opened their gates wide as soon as the star servant came.

They saw themselves as liberators who had come to save them from the repeated pressure of the mountain people.

The Star Wars also briefly established a base here and rested.

It was to reorganize the troops before going on a long journey.

and.

As if waiting for the star’s arrival, an envoy arrived from the imperial army headquarters.

“My name is Count Borai. “I have brought you a letter from the great and honorable Commander-in-Chief, Crown Prince Zereitz.”

In the presence of Elric, Herman, and Sailor Sean.

Count Borai flinched slightly when he saw Elric’s intense gaze, but soon walked over with great swagger.

It seems as if he is the crown prince of Zereitz.

Looking at that, Elric frowned slightly. It was because what Isabel said passed through my mind at first glance.

-That emissary will probably make Elric feel uncomfortable.

-me? Why?

-That way, you will be able to chip away at the ball even a little bit.

-…You live a very complicated life.

-That’s how you become a crown prince. It’s a bit old.

Although not as much as Isabel, Elric has already experienced what Crown Prince Zereitz has to offer.

Therefore, I was able to roughly predict what Prince Zereitz would look like.

I had a vague idea of the contents of the letter.

After wrapping it up with an appropriate greeting, such as saying that you had a hard time in a far away place or that you worked hard to spread the glory of the empire, I will tell you to ‘return’ to the main headquarters immediately.

In that case, the Star Servants would automatically become part of the Great Territory, and all of Elric’s achievements would naturally become Prince Zereitz’s.

This was because ‘thanks to his instructions’, he was able to treat it as if Elric had performed safely.

It’s as if anyone could have achieved this feat even if he wasn’t an Elric.

In fact, it seems like what happened underneath the big picture painted by Crown Prince Zereitz.

That’s how you can advertise.

‘Anyone wants. Where are you going to spoon?’

Of course, Elric had no intention of leaving such a fool behind.

He was already thinking about how to cook Prince Zereitz.

Elric curled one side of his lip.

It was understandable that Count Borai had such an attitude.

It was clear that Crown Prince Zereitz had given special instructions like that. If Elric gets angry, you can take over leadership by blaming him for an appropriate reason.

Perhaps they said that the leadership would be given to Count Borai?

‘Look at those eyes. ‘You’re drooling so much.’

Elric did not miss the way Count Borai’s eyes were shining as he looked around the military camp.

Eat. I just laughed out loud.

I don’t know why central nobles like to eat raw so much.

『What are you going to do?』

Mephisto read Elric’s thoughts and tilted his head.

He also knew that Crown Prince Zereitz was a bit of a bitch, just like Isabel said, but he still thought that he knew how to keep his head to a certain extent.

So the only thing Elric could do now was to take a low stance… Looking at his current attitude, it seemed like he would never do that.

[What should I do?]

Elric’s ridicule grew as loud as it could.

[I have to go further.]

『Kuh. Then, yes.’

Mephisto’s laughter ended almost immediately.

thud!

An enormous amount of pressure weighed down the audience.

“…big!”

Even before Count Borai could say that he would be handing over the crown prince’s letter and to be polite, he suddenly felt an enormous pressure pressing down on his shoulders and had to grit his teeth.

‘This petty bastard!’

Count Borai noticed that one side of Elric’s lip was twitching and that he had unconsciously begun to lose energy.

The goal is to suppress the momentum.

‘I can’t leave it like that!’

However, Count Borai is also a person who has survived for a long time in the central political world where numerous conspiracies and tricks are rampant.

I’ve been through too many childish things like this.

So Count Borai planned to flatten Elric’s nose.

After being tangled up with eastern hillbillies for so long, I guess I’ve lost my sense of humor. It was clear that he had not just forgotten the difference in level between the empire and the eastern border, but had completely forgotten it.

Count Borai was also an expert in swordsmanship who trained to master the four chains in his youth.

I thought it wouldn’t be that difficult for Herman or a Sailor to take down an Elric, who was known to be around the 7th circle, no matter how high the level was.

Even if it is set higher and reaches the level of the 8th circle, it is already widely known as common knowledge that a martial artist will overwhelm a wizard in a one-on-one match.

There is nothing particularly difficult about it.

however.

‘…hmm?’

Count Borai’s brow furrowed slightly.

‘It seems the level is a bit higher than I thought. Are you saying you weren’t just playing around on the eastern border?’

Count Borai let out a bitter smile as he could not completely wash away the pressure from Elric even if he raised his magic power.

How do you not know that the more you overdo it, the worse it is for you?

After all, I think that being young is something you can’t do anything about.

‘why…?’

Even though we opened up to 80% of our strength, the pressure did not go away at all.

No, on the contrary, it became more intense.

Rattling.

My shoulders started shaking.

‘Iik!’

Count Borai gritted his teeth and released as much force as he could.

However, even though I gave up 100% of my score, the pressure did not go away at all.

In a violently shaking field of vision.

Elric’s sneer grew louder.

As if that were all.

and.

“Oops!”

Count Borai had to groan as the pressure instantly doubled.

thud!

One knee hit the ground.

bang! bang!

The momentum pressure did not stop there.

Three times, four times…

I couldn’t figure out where the pressure would end.

‘How can this happen…!’

Shake…

Now both knees are on the floor.

Cold sweat was pouring down like crazy from my violently trembling body.

Count Borai could hardly understand this situation.

The gap with the information about Elric I heard from the Inspection Bureau before leaving the main headquarters was too large.

This was not at a level where I could resist.

It’s like…

‘Lion!’

okay. This was only possible for those who rose to the rank of superhumans, who are said to be beginning to surpass the human category little by little.

In the world of martial arts, it was said that an Eight Lion wizard could only reach the Six Stars.

But at the same age as Elric, he is already a lion!

Considering that most superhumans reached that level in their mid-40s or 50s, it made absolutely no sense.

No, it wasn’t something that wasn’t there.

Because there were people at a similar level in the past.

Star Mage Usden Mervinger.

Wasn’t Elric Mervinger’s grandfather like that?

However, considering that Mervinger at the time when Usden was there was a huge force that could compete head-to-head with even the Magic Tower, so considering that he was able to receive that much support, Elric’s current skills could be said to be an extremely ridiculous achievement.

For a moment, Count Borai wondered if Herman and Sailor were helping Elric, but they just smiled quietly while looking at him. They didn’t even make any preliminary moves.

This meant that all this suffocating pressure ultimately came from Elric.

Count Borai now wanted to scream.

Is it okay for me to treat myself this poorly?

Since they can’t control the momentum, they are trying to sell the background.

But the fact that he couldn’t even get a single word out of his mouth drove him crazy.

But what made him even crazier was that Elric hadn’t said anything yet.

Unless Elric was a fool, it was clear that he would be hated by Prince Zereitz for putting him down like this.

That moment.

‘Is that it…?’

Count Borai felt as if he had been hit hard on the back of the head with something blunt.

Only then did I feel like I knew what Elric was thinking.

Command right?

Elric is telling you to take it wherever you can.

It won’t go your way.

Perhaps the star group will disintegrate on its own before then.

He threatens them by telling them that the eastern region is already theirs and that they should not even think about reaching into it carelessly.

And that… was a warning not to himself, but to his background, Prince Zereitz.

I might die.

A sense of crisis filled Count Borai’s mind that he might have to close his eyes if he continued like this.

In the end, even my head turned white and I lost my mind.

Whoa!

All the pressure was relieved like a lie.

Rattling…

But Count Borai was still suffering from the lingering pain and could hardly come to his senses. The place where he was was almost damp with sweat.

“this. “I guess the Count is very tired both physically and mentally from the long journey?”

Elric asked with utmost politeness.

It came to Count Borai with his ease.

“What are you all doing? “I did not give up my room so that the Count could rest comfortably during his travels.”

The soldiers approached with their heads down and almost forcibly dragged Count Borai out.

He had already lost half of his consciousness and was no longer able to walk on his own two legs.

Perhaps Count Borai will not see Elric anymore until this war is over.

There would be no opportunity to deliver the letter from Prince Zereitz that was in his arms.

Because they will just continue to be detained and dragged around.

Elric had never received a secret letter containing an order from Prince Zereitz.

“Are there any more left? “It’s all over now, right?”

When Elric looked back at Sean and asked, Sean pressed his temple with his index finger as if he was in pain.

For a moment, I had a strong thought as to whether this could be okay.

‘With this, Mervinger has completely broken his relationship with the Crown Prince… and we follow him… Ah, I don’t know anymore. ‘Father will take care of it.’

I suddenly wondered what would happen if Mervinger, whose stock price was on the rise, and the Neresta family, a traditional powerhouse, turned away from Prince Zereitz.

I had a strong feeling that if the blue lion and the corporate ruler were added to this, it would be five minutes before the end.

Sean gave up thinking any further.

Isn’t this something that happened a lot at the academy anyway?

Thinking deeply about things related to Elric would only cause trouble.

Sean waved his hands with a half-liberated face.

“does not exist. “I don’t have any, so please get out of here.”

“Hehe. “Then, can you please do the rest of the chores for me, buddy?”

Elric left without leaving those words. They said they had somewhere to go, but the sight behind them looked like they were children going to a playground somewhere.

ha!

I can’t die because of my expulsion. Sean felt his temples throbbing again and he sighed as if the ground was falling.
