Talent-Swallowing Magician - Chapter 276
Part 2, Episode 16 : A hill near the Hyuulan clan of
the evil clan
.
Ok. Ok. Ok.
The sound of heavy military boots was heard regularly.
As the sound got closer… soon, close to a thousand soldiers appeared on the hill, gently raising dust.
They maintained perfect formation without a single error.
Proof that the training went that well.
And at the head of it was a man with a cold expression, riding a black horse.
Jajaja (紫獅子).
He is known to have the cruelest disposition among the eight lions who guard the Golden Lion.
It was Bel Bahamut.
And those who followed him were the Jajaja Army, famous for leaving nothing but blood in their wake.
Those who had departed from the imperial family had already arrived at Hyuriran.
It was then that Belle raised her fist.
Then all the soldiers stopped in place as if they were one body.
….
In an instant, everything became quiet.
Belle lowered her hand and looked down at the holiday column with an expressionless face.
Looking down from the high ground, I could see the scenery of Hyulyuran at a glance.
‘It’s all trash.’
Only one emotion passed over the slightly frowning eyes.
Obvious contempt.
It was as if he had seen dirty trash.
His first impression of the holiday section was nothing more, nothing less.
‘Not only are these scumbags colluding with the devil, but they are also dragging in the Free Revolutionary Army? ‘It’s something that deserves death.’
Among the people living in Hyulan were ordinary lower-class people, such as retired soldiers and orphans, but to Belle, that fact was not important at all.
If it’s in the trash can, it’s just trash.
With the addition of the Free Revolutionary Army to the Hung clan, there was a lot of trash to clean up, but it wasn’t a bad situation.
No, there was a feeling that it would have gone well.
Now, we have a great opportunity to clean up all the kingdom’s problems at once.
‘If I just get rid of those…!’
He cleans up all the trash here and elevates Cromhel, whom he serves, to the position of crown prince.
If you can become a public servant like that, you will be one step closer to achieving the ‘dream’ you so desire.
Unlike the stupid Zereitz, Cromhell never treats its own people poorly.
‘Big brother of the family. Who will become the true head of Neresta this time? I’ll show you clearly.’
Before we knew it, Belle’s whole body was filled with a sense of death.
Belle, who had been silent, opened her mouth.
“Erase it.”
The soldiers responded immediately to Bell’s short command.
The soldiers all took out their bows and fired arrows and aimed at Hyulan.
And without any hesitation, they protested towards the holiday section.
Pew pew pew pew!
Arrows flew in a parabola and fell like rain on the holiday column.
Holidays are starting to catch fire everywhere.
Grumble!
The village was instantly submerged in a sea of fire.
“Aaaah!”
“Ugh! help me!”
“It’s a fire! “Fire!”
A terrible scream came from below, but Belle paid no attention.
just.
“You ride well.”
He just looked down at the holiday section with an indifferent expression.
* * *
Meanwhile, at that time.
The standoff continued.
A cold air current continued to flow.
From there, neither Tyhol nor anyone else could move.
A near-miss situation where a wrong move could lead to an immediate collision.
If that happens, not only Jen’s life but also the lives of others will be in danger.
Cold sweat broke out on Tyhol’s hands.
‘shit! What do we do?’
No matter how hard I thought, I couldn’t think of a way to escape the current situation.
While Tyhol was thinking, time continued to pass.
One hour is an urgent situation.
[Tie hole! What are you doing?]
The formant’s urging sound continued to ring in my ears.
[Say something! There is no time!]
Formant was not the only one urging.
Cuckoo! Cuckoo! Cuckoo!
Outside, signals from the Revolutionary Army continued to be heard.
Hurry up. The enemy is right around the corner.
[Tie hole! Hurry!]
[I know! I know!]
Tie Hole didn’t mean he didn’t know the current situation. I knew it better than anyone else.
In my mind, I wanted to do something right away, whether it was evacuating or responding, before the punitive force arrived.
‘But but…!’
Then the more.
Tyhol’s son Jen, trembling, came in.
I couldn’t lose Jen, who was more precious than anyone else.
What if you leave Zen behind and fight the punitive force?
Even if you win, is it a true victory? You will probably be tormented by guilt for the rest of your life.
However, it was also unthinkable to abandon the clan just because of one son.
[Tie hole!]
Cuckoo! Cuckoo! Cuckoo!
I felt sick to my stomach and felt like my head was going to explode.
‘What on earth should I do…!’
It was at that time that Tyhol looked at Jen with shaking eyes.
Slurp –
the ice arrow aimed at Zen’s head melted and disappeared in thin air.
“…!?”
Tyhol’s surprised eyes turned to Elric.
Elric said with a grin.
“That’s enough.”
At the same time, the energy that had been pressing around him also entered his body again.
Elric lightly pushed Jen’s back, who was still shaking.
Then Zen ran towards the tie hole like a bullet.
“Ah, Dad!”
Tyhol, who had one hand wrapped around Zen, glared at Elric with eyes full of suspicion.
“I don’t know what the plan is, but…!”
“Oh, what are you saying?”
Elric cut off Tyhol’s conversation by digging into his ear hole with his ring finger as if he was annoyed.
“I heard the punitive force has arrived? Hurry up and get people to evacuate. “I’ll take a look at that first.”
“How did you know that…! Or rather, why…?”
Elric looked at Tyhol, whose expression had now become blank, as if he were pitiful.
“I can’t be a jerk like you, right?”
Elric also felt the energy of his own army.
If time continued like this, not only Trang’s family but also everyone in Holidayan could have died.
It can’t be like that, right?
“It’s okay to fight, so let’s do it later. “For now, let’s figure out how to live first.”
With those words, Elric burst out with energy and disappeared in an instant.
“…Why on earth?”
Tyhol stared blankly at the spot where Elric was.
I couldn’t understand it at all.
He clearly intended to kill Elric.
Elric did it as if it was a natural thing to do. He said he would help and left to deal with Jassaja.
‘You can’t be a bully like me?’
Tyhol thought about what Elric said.
But the thought did not last long.
“Tie hole! “What are you thinking like that!”
“ah…!”
Formant shouted, shaking Tyhol’s shoulder.
Taihole finally came to his senses and opened his mouth.
I still couldn’t understand Elric’s words, but that wasn’t important right now.
now.
As Elric said, at least for now, the most important thing was to evacuate the villagers.
Because the safety of the village people is more important than anything else.
Tyhol, who had already gathered his thoughts, gave instructions to the soldiers.
“Tell the personnel inside to follow me and the soldiers outside to evacuate the villagers as quickly as possible!”
“yes!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Tyhol headed outside with the soldiers.
And that moment.
‘…was it something like this?’
Tyhol seemed to have some idea why Elric said that.
* * *
‘Is it over there?’
Elric was running towards the place where his energy was strong.
Even though the distance was quite far away, I could sense that the situation was unusual.
Because thick smoke was rising in the distance.
It wasn’t just dark.
The sky was hazy.
Moreover, the surrounding area became a sea of fire, shining brightly in all directions.
‘We must hurry!’
As the fire began to spread more intensely, Elric sped up even more. In the meantime
,
I caught sight of Mephisto, who had a displeased expression on his face.
“Why are you doing that again?”
『I don’t understand this king at all.』
“What is it?”
『If you took a hostage, why did you let them go?』
I asked him something, and it seems he didn’t like the fact that they just released Zen.
『You are helping the family of the person who tried to kill you? Even if you round them up and kill them, what on earth are you doing with your hat on?”
There is no other hogu like this.
Even after confessing his true feelings, Mephisto continued to grumble next to him, as if he was frustrated.
Elric chuckled as he looked at Mephisto.
If you think about it, it wasn’t wrong.
You’re helping someone who’s clearly trying to kill you. Normally, this would have been unthinkable.
But things were different now.
‘First of all, Giliti is also a member of the Free Revolutionary Army.’
Also, didn’t you make a promise with Trang?
To save his family.
Of course, there were conditions. There was no time to think about such things when the entire holiday was in danger.
More than anything.
“I hate seeing ordinary people become victims of political strife.”
Elric’s will was more determined than ever.
They were innocent people.
I did not think that such people would be harmed by being caught up in the politics of the nobility or royal family.
“It doesn’t make sense.”
Elric let out a laugh as if he was dumbfounded.
There are criminals and fugitives, but they are only a small minority.
Most of the rest are ordinary people.
These people were almost destroyed due to people’s misunderstanding.
And such people could not be killed just because it was an ‘achievement’.
Although he took the hand that the Great Demon King extended, it was an inevitable choice for survival, and even that was no different from being defrauded.
You received help from the Free Revolutionary Army, an enemy of the imperial family?
So what should I do? I need strength to run away from Lilith right now.
Those who cannot ask for salvation anywhere.
These are people who cannot even lie down comfortably and sleep anywhere.
If you don’t protect these people yourself.
If he, the grandson of Mervinger and a pro-choice operative, does not hug him, then who will hug him?
『There’s something the world says about people like you.』
Mephisto’s eyes were calmer than ever as he looked at Elric.
[What does it say?]
『Hero.』
Mephisto said clearly.
『People in the world call that figure a hero.』
That was when Elric was about to say something.
Whoa!
‘stomach!’
I sensed a deadly force that seemed to be oppressing my entire body.
I raised my head.
A hill visible in the distance. In particular, it was toward a ridge where the tip was not easily visible.
‘Over there.’
There may be only one person here who can emit such strong killing power.
‘Let’s go.’
It was at that time that Elric was heading towards that direction.
Pew pew pew pew!
The arrows fired by Jajaja’s army covered the sky.
Elric’s expression distorted.
He realized that the fire on the arrowhead was not an ordinary fire.
‘Special chemical treatment… and even magic?’
Unlike fire, which is generally red and yellow in color, fire on a chemically treated arrowhead was recognizable because it had a deeper red color.
In short, it was a fire that could not be easily extinguished.
Bel Bahamut is from the Neresta family. Naturally, he would have a good knowledge of magic as well as alchemy.
At that moment, Elric’s eyes sparkled.
“【Swing】!”
Gooooo-
Whihwihwihwi!
A strong snowstorm began to swirl through the air.
It was an attempt to block the fiery arrows floating in the sky with the power to attack a wide area.
Crumbling –
The winter storm scorched the fiery arrows.
As Elric expected, the fire arrow caught in the snowstorm lost its balance, shook, and bounced into the air. Many of them lost their firepower due to vacuum conditions.
but.
‘this!’
The range of the flying fire arrows was too wide.
Although he was able to block most of the arrows, no matter how Elric he was, he couldn’t block the entire village at once.
It was at this moment that Elric hurriedly tried to expand the range of the ice storm to include the remaining fire arrows.
Wow!
The three dragons that had been following behind jumped forward.
“Why are they like that again?”
Elric stretched out his hand in that direction, thinking it might be dangerous, but soon realized that it was not necessary.
The dragons opened their mouths wide and were taking deep breaths.
Then, countless flames began to gather inside the dragons’ mouths.
“…!”
『…What kind of harmony is that?』
Just looking at it is an astounding sight.
Even Mephisto was surprised.
When the three dragons felt that the fire in their mouths had grown considerably, they spat out a fireball towards the ridge with a ‘wham’ sound.
Kwaaaaang!
The fireball flew toward the ridge and exploded with a loud noise.
Many enemies screamed and poured rainwater down the ridge. Their entire bodies were on fire.
“Aaaahhh!”
“What is this!”
“Why is our fire…!”
“Ugh!”
The fire on the enemies’ bodies did not go out for a long time even after they were killed.
“….”
『….』
Incredible power.
Elric and Mephisto looked at the baby dragons with surprised eyes.
Wow!
Kiyuyu kiyu!
The three dragons proudly held out their bellies in triumph.
Wizard who swallowed talent
