Talent-Swallowing Magician - Chapter 82

Episode 82

Burned Snow Field

‘What on earth happened?’

Irina was speechless for a while about the scene unfolding before her eyes.

People who were thought to be a threat to the king are now fighting against Fury.

In particular, the blonde man who had been making fun of himself was showing the most activity.

-Here, please.

In particular, the words she said when leaving King Velence to her care still confused her.

Then, when I heard the whole story from King Velence.

“…This is what happened. So, let me ask you.”

“Please ask.”

Irina hurriedly got down on one knee while trying to gather her confused thoughts.

King Velence asked with a face that was no longer young.

“Which side will you take, Commander of the Guard? “If the Captain of the Guard decides to take Fury’s side, now will be our only chance.”

“What are you talking about! “I am the captain of the royal guard who always protects the king.”

Irina’s eyes were colored with desperation.

“Please do not doubt my loyalty.”

“is that so? thank god. “But it’s not like I was looking at the wrong person.”

King Velence smiled warmly for a moment and then held Irina’s hand.

“Then please. “Please… help me, Irina.”

“I will follow your orders.”

Irina nodded and slowly stood up.

I will not allow anyone to approach the king.

The determination to protect the king this time was firmly formed in the corners of his eyes.

It’s really dangerous like this.

Is it because they belong to the Fury, which is much closer to the wild than the Antromorphs?

Mount had to instinctively feel that way several times.

At first, I thought we could solve the traps set by humans.

After all, aren’t we humans who live safely under the wall without much danger?

I had a complacent thought about how dangerous it must be for such a lowly species.

However, from the moment the blond-haired human used the Gangseojutsu, a treasure of the beastman race, something seemed strange.

Now that he was face to face with the blue lion, his instincts were sounding the alarm louder and louder than ever.

We need to run away from here as quickly as possible!

If things continue like this, the unit may really be wiped out!

Quaaaang!

“…Oof!”

But Mount had no time for that.

In his common sense, retreat was unthinkable, and even if he tried to think of other strategies, the man in front of him showed no clue.

“Why are you doing this? Surely you weren’t confident until a little while ago? “I heard that you are one of the greatest warriors among the Furies, but I guess this is not the end of it?”

Hermann burst into laughter as he looked at Mount covered in blood.

The more it happened, the more distorted Mount’s face became.

‘strong!’

Mount now had no choice but to admit that fact.

While his entire body was covered in wounds, Hermann had no injuries of any kind.

Even though he was exhausted and his throat was emitting sweet odors, Hermann showed no sign of exhaustion.

No, it actually looked relaxed.

It seemed like it was fun.

What can I say?

Did you feel like you were back in your own comfortable home?

I couldn’t understand how a person who only pursues safety could feel that way on the battlefield.

Mount was now feeling a primal fear from Hermann, who was approaching him like an invincible enemy.

‘Humans… aren’t all humans like this?’

No, that won’t be it.

Mount wanted to believe that.

I’ve definitely heard that there are people among humans who are comparable to or better than the Blue Lion, but perhaps that’s because the Blue Lion hides their skills and they don’t know much about it.

Perhaps the blue lion is the strongest among humans. So, I didn’t think it was unreasonable for me to be so helpless.

but.

“Anyway, I feel really sorry for you.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Isn’t it because it hasn’t been long since you woke up from the hospital that your movements were very sluggish? “My body still has a lot of creaks, so please understand if I’m sloppy.”

“…Are you trying to deceive me? “You want me to believe something like that?”

“It’s true. And what would I do by making such a fuss with you now?”

Hermann laughed as he lightly dusted the bleeding sword on the floor.

“I’m already winning.”

Crash!

Mount gritted his teeth upon hearing those words.

The problem was that he had nothing to refute.

“Anyway, I don’t think there will be any good in the prolonged fight, so let’s end it quickly. “I will go this time.”

Faaah!

Mount instinctively pulled back and struck the stone ax loudly at Hermann, who was running at breakneck speed.

However, when Hermann changed direction midway, the stone ax only hit the ground.

Sigh!

Hermann swung his sword continuously as if he would not miss the opening left by Mount.

Every time the sword flashed, the blue aura that symbolized him struck like a thunderbolt several times!

It was so fierce, like a huge lion swinging its claws at its prey.

Mount’s stone ax was broken. The left arm was also deeply cut and flew into the air.

Wow!

In a situation where everyone is dying, all Mount can see is his pitiful body that is instantly tattered and his army collapsing helplessly.

‘Because of humans…! Because of these strange humans!’

I heard something similar happened 40 years ago.

The incident is also called Fury’s shameful death. An incident where Antromorph’s attack had to be turned around right before our eyes.

Even back then, you had to be frustrated by a person with blonde hair and green eyes…?

‘It can’t happen this time! We can’t let the Great Blood King’s great will be broken again!’

So Mount changed his mind.

If I can’t have it, I’ll just blow myself up.

Mount took out the bead that had been sealed under the handle of the stone axe and dropped it on the floor.

The spike –

Hermann wondered if it was an explosive, so he broke the sword’s path in the middle with the intention of removing it before he did something clumsy.

puck!

The sword passed under Mount’s chin, pierced his skull, and came out the other side.

“Kel kelkel…! Fury won’t collapse…!”

After saying those words, Mount bent his head to the side.

However, the beads started hitting each other, sparking sparks, and soon they were shooting firecrackers very high into the air.

A red mist spread across the sky in an instant.

“what?”

Hermann narrowed his eyes when he realized that it was a signal firecracker.

It would be easier to respond if you knew what it meant. It would have been more convenient if it was a signal to retreat, but it didn’t seem like that.

just as expected.

“The leader has passed away…!”

“You have given an order!”

“Let’s risk death! For Fury!”

“For the Blood King!”

“For the Blood King!”

The beast group roared in unison and started running towards Antromorph.

He says he won’t care at all even if Elric and the others target his back.

Everyone ran in that direction without any tactics or strategy.

“Puhaha! How are you doing, humans? An order for a general offensive was just given! Not only we, the advance team, but also the main base that will soon follow will only target Antromorphs! Your city will soon be trampled and reduced to ashes… Ugh!”

Hyogo, who was mixed in the pile of corpses, burst out laughing, but was soon silenced by an ice arrow burning at the back of his head.

“Anyway, extras can’t be like this. “If you just talk too much.”

Elric looked down at Hyogo’s dead body with an attitude of wondering what to do, then turned his gaze back to Antromorph.

King Velence was seen to be anxious because the city had suddenly become dangerous.

[Don’t worry too much.]

Then, he seemed a little relieved after hearing Elric’s message.

‘You’ll have to do well over there.’

We’ve already done enough outside.

So now what’s left is up to the people who remain inside.

Elric thought so.

* * *

“Pew pew Fury has invaded!”

“what? What are you talking about! “How can the Furies come here when General Dong is in full swing?”

“We don’t know that either. But that’s what the guard’s report said. “We must take action immediately!”

The news that Fury’s legion was advancing threw Antromorph into chaos.

It was already a noisy car due to the low level of Gangseojutsu.

As the foreign exchange crisis hit, even the remaining strongholds were shaken.

“Ha, let’s surrender!”

“What on earth are you talking about! “Are you going crazy now?”

“Then what should I do! The king is gone and there are not enough troops and food due to General Dong! “If you are exposed to Fury like this, you will die!”

“I agree with the Minister of Finance!”

“me too!”

“me too…! “I don’t want to die like this!”

“Have you seen these crazy people? “Just trying to monopolize the royal family’s secret arts is a deadly sin, so why are you talking nonsense like that?”

The ministers and officials were all at their wit’s end, preparing to fight while calling their private soldiers or using sign language.

When the situation became like this, the citizens had no choice but to explode.

“Stop doing things like that!”

“Let’s turn it over! We can’t leave politics to people like that! “I can’t leave the city to you!”

“king! “Let’s bring the king!”

That moment when it seemed like a civil war would break out before even dealing with Fury.

Prime Minister Norus, who had had his eyes closed until now, opened them.

“Yeong Guard (影衛隊). What do you do? Instead of arresting the traitors right away.”

It was a low voice, but it had such a deep resonance that almost no one around could hear it.

“Prime Minister! What are you saying…huh!”

“Huh! “Oh my!”

The officials and ministers who were insisting on surrender were forced to take a vain breath when they suddenly saw the blade hanging under their chins at an unexpected moment.

Those who they thought were loyal all along.

The situation progressed so quickly that there was no time for the other soldiers to do anything.

Or before that, their heads fell to the floor, spattering blood.

“We have suppressed all 31 people and their subordinates who expressed their intention to surrender or traded in Gangseojutsu.”

The person who appeared to be the leader bowed before Prime Minister Norus and made a report.

Prime Minister Norus quietly nodded and stood up.

The arrested ministers and officials could not help but be shocked.

“Prime Minister! “What on earth is this?”

“We were comrades!”

“What a British Guard! “What the hell is this…!”

The Royal Guard was a secret organization that secretly suppressed traitors by hiding throughout the Beast Union in the past to protect the authority of the King of Tigers.

However, I thought it disappeared on its own as the Beast-Man Union was disbanded and the authority of the royal family fell to the ground.

It was still active?

Moreover, it came as a great shock to them that it was Prime Minister Norus, whom they had believed to be their ally.

From this small city to secretly recruiting and training so many people and placing them all over the city…

How secretly have they been moving so far?

“The royal family may be in decline, but their legacy remains everywhere. “The thing that has supported the royal family so far is not the kind of trap you guys were trying to have.”

“…!”

“…!”

“…!”

“I didn’t even know it was like that, I was just foolishly dreaming about it, so it won’t be long before the King of Blood’s spirit tribe falls flat again.”

Chancellor Norus nodded to the crew waiting for orders to be given.

“Now wait a minute! Prime minister! Listen to me! I feel wronged! It’s unfair…!”

“I surrender! So please just save me! Prime minister? “Prime Minister!”

There was not a single hesitation to be found in the hands of the guards.

As a result of the summary execution, many heads had to roll around on the floor. The floor quickly filled with red blood.

The crowd was immersed in silence.

While the citizens looked at Prime Minister Norus with their mouths wide open in shock.

He still had a tired face, but he stood tall with his eyes shining brightly.

“I won’t say anything else. Let’s fight. To protect our city.”

Those words were enough.

Until the citizens prepared for resistance.
