The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player - Chapter 181
Episode 181
“What is that!?”
An unbelievable sight came into Thaddeus’s eyes.
A bizarre pillar stood where the Giga Thunder Lightning struck.
It is a tower made of weapons.
From daggers the size of your palm to long iron spears.
Towers about 100 meters high, made by connecting dozens of weapons, stood tall throughout the Knights’ camp.
Moreover, the very end of the tower was split into four or five branches, blocking the sky like an umbrella without a cloth.
Fujijik.
The bundle of lightning that seemed to devastate the knights was drawn to the tower of the weapon and flowed into the ground along with the blue light.
It was Raoul’s wonderful response using the lightning rod principle.
Of course, some lightning imbued with magic escaped the temptation of the lightning rod.
“Huh!”
However, the lightning collided with the temporary aurors created by Philip Jake Raoul’s three top-level experts and was scattered helplessly.
“That’s ridiculous!”
In terms of level, it is 7th circle.
The magic tower’s secret technique is said to be equivalent to the 8th circle in terms of destructive power and range.
It was prevented in vain, unable to deal with a single enemy.
Thaddeus waved his hands with an expression of complete disbelief.
Perhaps because of the shock, he was unable to properly give his next instructions, and the results were fatal.
“Salmon fire from all positions!”
As if they weren’t worried about the enemy’s magic in the first place, the First Knights, who had already drawn their crossbows, fired bolts all at once.
Since they were already within 50 meters of the enemy line, the destructive power of the mana-infused crossbow bolts was beyond imagination.
Push! Kugwagwak!
Due to this heat, the Skyler Magic Tower shield soldiers who formed the shield formation fell down like water.
And some of the bolts that passed them pierced through the defenseless wizards.
But that wasn’t the end.
“Geochang! “Change the line!”
The knights used their inventory to instantly change their weapons to assault polearms.
Then, Raoul and the knights in the rear, who had retreated to the rear, accelerated even further, passed between the knights in the front, and began charging with long spears toward the enemy camp.
“Wipe it all away!”
With Raoul’s shout, a wave of long spears surrounded by golden mana crashed into the magic tower shield soldier.
bang! Burbubbuk!
“Ouch!”
“Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
The shield formation torn apart by the crossbows was suddenly losing its balance due to the abilities of the superpowers who intervened.
The knights attacked on top of him, so there was no need to see the result.
The magic shields that the Magic Tower had painstakingly supplied did not perform their duties properly and were crushed by the horses’ hooves.
“Ugh!”
“help me!”
As the shield soldiers were swept away, the wizards’ complexions turned pale as their bare bodies were exposed in front of the knights.
There were veteran wizards who had already fought numerous mock battles, but this was the first time the knights had come so close to their eyes.
puck. Phew!
He wasn’t hit by a horse or stabbed with a weapon.
The wizards who hit the knights’ assault curtain literally had their entire bodies crushed and turned into blood clots and disappeared.
Of course, some of the wizards who responded quickly tried to survive by using shield magic or defensive magic, but…
“It’s impossible.”
The long spear that created the Mana Sphere easily pierced defense magic of 4 circles or less like tearing a piece of paper, and it was no different even if you were a wizard.
Phew! puck. Clutter.
There was no need to swing the weapon or change direction.
The knights, including Raoul, destroyed the wizard formation with the same momentum they were charging into.
“I’m alive!”
Among them, high-ranking wizards of the 6th circle or higher used blink (short-distance teleportation) magic to avoid the knights’ assault, but it was of little significance.
A tree branch that turned into a snake caught the ankle of a wizard who was taking refuge on a tree in the forest, and before he knew it, a bolt flew in and pierced his neck.
The supernatural powers, with their eyes wide open like hunters aiming for their prey, tied the wizards’ feet and the knights finished them off.
‘It’s an easy win. Well, it’s a natural result.’
Raoul briefly remembered his thoughts on the battle.
As he had already penetrated the enemy lines and entered the forest with his horse, his senses caught something.
‘Well, he didn’t seem like the type to loyally protect the battlefield.’
I could sense three or four wizards hurriedly running away in the forest about 100 meters away.
Eat.
Raoul raised his hands to the sky as if there was no need to chase him.
Shuuuung! Squeaky.
Hundreds of weapons caught by lightning and filled with electricity flew into the sky above the forest.
“Let’s go.”
Raoul slightly stretched out his hand, and hundreds of weapons flew away.
Quang!
Parts of the forest were crushed and burned as if a bomb had exploded.
“Tch, you’re a step late.”
Jake, who flew away stepping on a tree branch, wondering where he had left the horse, grumbled as if he was disappointed.
His appearance meant that all the enemy armor users stationed on the right had been eliminated.
In any case, they would not have been able to oppose Jake and the First Knights with a group of knights of mid-level or lower.
“The left wing has also been sorted out.”
As soon as Philippe appeared, a magic screen appeared in front of Raoul.
-The enemy has been annihilated. The mock battle ends.
-Time remaining until return: 30 seconds
The mock battle between the First Guild and Skyler Magic Tower ended.
Number of survivors: 300 vs 0.
It was an overwhelming and complete victory without a doubt.
* * *
Boom.
“This guarantees that the Ferido Magic Tower is completely owned by the First Guild and Viscount Raoul.”
Director Dario of the Wizards Association, who vigorously stamped his seal, said with a smile.
“The debt relationship has been completely resolved, right?”
When Raoul asked comfortably, Dario nodded and looked away.
“Is that so? Elder Thaddeus.”
“Hmm. exactly. “If it’s all over, I’ll be done.”
Thaddeus Schuyler frowned as if he had just chewed a cow and left without looking back.
“In the end, it ended without even seeing Skyler’s face.”
When Bernard said with a grin, Raoul also smiled.
“It wouldn’t be easy to show up at a defeat dump like this. “You don’t want to come out and hurt your pride, right?”
It wasn’t bad from Raoul’s perspective either.
If you are a 7th circle user, you are a superhuman equivalent to a sword master.
There was no benefit in seeing each other in person and blushing.
In this way, the takeover of the Perido Magic Tower was completed, and Raoul achieved the entire purpose of his visit to the Kingdom of Leslie.
The work of organizing the empty magic towers and establishing the First Guild branch could be handled by Bernard or the administrators.
And the guild branch established here will continue to recruit useful wizards and send them to Raoul’s domain.
‘It’s time to go back.’
A month had already passed since I arrived in Leslie’s kingdom.
Although I gave instructions through video conference or guild communication from time to time, I now had to return to the territory and handle the backlog of work.
smart.
At that time, someone visited Raoul’s office.
“Welcome, Lord Buddha.”
The visitor was the former Perido Magic Tower lord and Perido wizard who was now the vice tower lord of the First Magic Tower.
“Are your preparations for relocation going well?”
“Thanks to your generous provision of expenses and manpower, we are organizing things smoothly.”
Perido seemed to have regained his former vitality.
As his expression became brighter and his motivation gained, his appearance became so straight that it was difficult to regard him as a man in his 70s.
After chatting about trivial things for a while, he carefully changed the topic.
“Aren’t you curious about how this incident at the Magic Tower came about?”
Raoul answered his question comfortably, as if it was no big deal.
“Because I think the future is more important than the past. And if it’s something that makes you uncomfortable, you don’t have to say it.”
Perido, who nodded slightly as if he was grateful for Raoul’s kind words, corrected his posture and said,
“Actually, there is something I must tell you. “Before that, I’d like to introduce you to someone. Would that be okay?”
When Raoul gave permission, Perido called someone.
Hehehe.
‘huh…?’
The door opened and what came inside was a pale boy who looked extremely weak.
I guess it’s about twelve or three now.
The child who approached hesitantly closed his eyes and bowed deeply as he greeted me.
“Oh hello. “My name is Corey, Master.”
“Yes, nice to meet you.”
When Raoul greeted me, I walked quickly and hid behind Perido, probably because I was shy.
When Perido asked with a glance if he could send the child away, Raoul nodded slightly.
“Just go out now.”
Then he nodded awkwardly and quickly left the room.
‘…oh my god.’
Raoul looked with golden eyes at the back of the child who had just left the door, and swallowed his saliva without realizing it.
*Name: Corey (13 years old)
*Level: 51
*Occupation: Wizard (Circle 4 Beginner)
*Affiliation: Viscount Raoul, First Magic Tower
*Stats: Potential (SS grade)
[Strength 15] [Dexterity 13] [Stamina 9] [Intellect 81] [Mental Strength 21] [Magic Power 77] [Sense 78]
*Unique Traits
Mana’s Friend (SS) Master of the Magic Circle (S+) No Chant (A+) Unstable Mind (E) Glass Body (F)
First time since Nikki A person with SS-level potential.
Just by looking at the stats and characteristics, I could tell at a glance that it was something out of the ordinary.
However, like Nikki, it was a name I had never heard of in my past life, and there was no similar person.
‘That means…’
A reasonable doubt appeared in Raoul’s mind.
And just at that moment, Perry also opened his mouth.
“Hehe, he may look a little immature, but he is my youngest student. “For some reason, I’m finally introducing you.”
The story that followed was a banal story with nothing special.
Abandoned orphan.
Perry recognized his talent at a glance and took him as his disciple.
And once he entered the Magic Tower, the child grew at an alarming rate.
The master disciple felt threatened by his crazy growth.
What if that child showed off his incredible talent and provided a clue to the ‘multi-core magic circle’?
‘A story like this is born where a disciple betrays his teacher.’
And perhaps in his previous life, Corey fell into the hands of his great brother, Droyzen.
Considering his foolishness, Bae Do-hyeon might have been trapped in the magic tower and lived like a slave until his death, or he might have died young.
But that unfortunate future will no longer unfold.
“I see. Please take good care of me as always. “I will also be watching with interest.”
“He may be a child with shortcomings, but he is like a gem with more talent than anyone I have ever seen. Please save it.”
“of course. “Oh, now that I think about it, I think of a kid who would get along well with Corey.”
Raoul suddenly remembered Nikki.
I thought that the child who had overcome the years of pain and had now regained his smile would take good care of the unstable Corey.
I hoped that the two children who had suffered because of their God-given talent would be happy in this life.
* * *
It has now been two months since Bae Do-hyun passed the graduation tower for the first time.
Meanwhile, in addition to the Purple Guild, quite a few players had passed the Tower of Graduation and were escaping the cage of the Free City.
But it didn’t take long for them to become disappointed.
“Where does this top go?”
“It’s called Baron Zeld.”
“Where is it again? It shouldn’t be a disaster this time…”
Due to the nature of the Free City, there were no powerful noble families around.
This is because it was located in a place where there was no strong power to begin with, and territories over a certain size were reluctant to expand their territory near the Free City.
Whatever the reason, it put the players in a very awkward situation.
“What kind of village is this small?”
“I went to the Baron’s Castle, but it was just a remote village. “It was hard to find a place to sleep.”
“Oh my god, it takes half a day to walk to the hunting ground? “Then it’s definitely a confirmed camping trip, right?”
Yes.
After leaving the Free City, a place that had amenities for players, everything was inconvenient.
A village with no proper accommodations or restaurants.
A rural area where hunting grounds are nowhere to be found.
If you take a wrong turn, you will enter the realm of gate monsters that have not yet been defeated.
However, there was no infrastructure at all to attack the dungeon (fixed gate).
A very difficult survival life awaited them, where they had to get everything they could eat, wear, sleep, and even consumables on their own.
In that case, some people may be asking if it’s not possible to take the portal and go straight to the big city.
As previously explained, it was impossible for players to go to the portal unless they visited in person and received permission to visit.
‘It’s not a survival game. If it’s going to be like this, it would be much better to stay in the Free City.’
That’s why, even after two months, there has been no significant progress in players’ advancement to the continent.
