Youngest Scion of the Mages - Chapter 57
The youngest son of a magic family, episode 57.
A guardian who has the appearance of a knight but is closer to a wizard. It looks like he is aiming with a sword, but the attack is not a sword, but magic. Larsen already knows that.
‘come!’
Flames were created from the broken sword. A stream of fire was created.
It was like a whip made of fire. A bullwhip was fired. It was like a whip. It whipped around and flew towards Larsen.
‘If you didn’t know, you didn’t know.’
If I knew, I would not accept it obediently.
‘The location is over there.’
I checked the location in advance. I threw myself back. I literally rolled backwards. Magner could tell what Larsen was doing.
‘That guy and that one.’
I heard you were crawling hard earlier. It seemed like they had identified the puddle with the most water. I threw myself there.
Pass!
A fire whip meets water. Larsen completely lay down in the shallow water, and the power of the bullwhip was greatly reduced as it encountered ‘water’.
‘You intentionally wet your body with a lot of water to make it more resistant to the heat and jumped into the puddle.’
I had to acknowledge his ability to understand and analyze the situation. It was definitely not at a level that a 10-year-old could do.
‘In a way, he’s a monster.’
What if that monster even had outstanding talent for ‘elemental magic’? Then, I thought that it might be the Mayton family that would hold overwhelming hegemony in the next generation. Larsen suffered burns on his back.
‘It’s pretty hot.’
No matter how much water I hid in the water and intentionally soaked my body. Still, the heat was too strong for a 10-year-old’s body to handle.
Still, it is much better compared to the original.
[Kashin was seriously injured by the unexpected blow used by the Bronze Giant.]
Kashin, the original protagonist, was seriously injured by this attack. But Larsen himself only suffered a few burns.
[Kashin drew his sword despite being seriously wounded. He started running towards the bronze giant.]
[Most wizards are weak in one-on-one combat. This is because too many weaknesses are exposed after using a large spell. It was the same for the Guardian.]
Rather, the Guardian has a greater delay because he is not a ‘real wizard’. To put it simply, we are now defenseless.
‘Now is your chance.’
Larsen rushed in. Just like Kashin in the original.
[Kashin swung his sword. His sharp sword instantly cut through the bronze giant’s rusty joints.]
Rusty joints. That’s the weak point.
‘I can’t do that.’
It’s different from Kashin. It has different abilities from Kashin. There are no weapons. Larsen’s weapon is a magic martial arts technique. The attack was different from Kashin.
A space was opened. I took out the ‘broken stalactite pieces’ that I had picked up earlier.
‘You have to attack the seams.’
Between seams. The stalactites were forced into place. There was quite a bit of rust, so the parts that were in contact with the stalactites were rusty and crumbly. The bronze giant’s purple eyes turned towards Larsen.
Before we knew it, it was time for the Bronze Giant to prepare for the next attack.
‘If it’s what I think… he can’t move.’
There are pieces of stalactites stuck between the joints of the arms. An old, rusty body would not be able to break and move those pieces of stalactites.
‘Not a knight type, but a wizard type.’
This means that he does not have a strong body. My arms were tied so that I couldn’t use them. This is the guardian who appears at the beginning of the novel. Even if only this level of sanctions is imposed, it will not create any significant variables. A Bronze Giant who cannot move his arms cannot use magic.
A voice was heard.
[Go back.]
That voice telling me to go back didn’t sound that threatening.
‘Are there any other means of attack?’
I activated Cheonan as much as possible and looked at the Guardian. Because there may be a ‘setting of the other world’ that Larsen doesn’t know about.
‘I don’t think there is one.’
The Bronze Giant just watched Lassen quietly, as if he had become a frozen statue.
‘Move around.’
In any case, the gaze continues to be on Larsen himself. I moved little by little, preparing for an unexpected attack.
‘My body is shaking.’
Anyway, I’m trying to move.
‘Thank you for moving.’
That rusty body is weaker than a stalactite. The more you try to move, the more tattered the joints of your body will become. Larsen glanced back.
‘Master, stay still too.’
As a teacher, Magner will prevent ‘excessive danger’. The fact that Magner stays still like that proves that this Guardian is no longer dangerous.
‘okay.’
There was no need to waste any more time. He immediately approached the bronze giant. He grabbed the bronze giant’s right arm with both hands. I hugged the Bronze Giant’s waist with both legs. The bronze giant’s body collapsed. The Bronze Giant was like a doll that couldn’t resist anything. I just repeated the same words.
[Go back.]
He fell down, holding one arm with both hands. Larsen’s butt hit the ground. Larsen grabbed the Bronze Giant’s right wrist. The two legs wrapped around his waist pressed against the Bronze Giant’s chest and face. The elbow joint was caught between Larsen’s thighs.
Magner silently read Larsen’s movements.
‘Is that an arm bar?’
Although it is a commonly used technique in Grandel, I had no idea that Mayton’s successor would use the armbar. Even though magic fighting is his main talent. Still, I thought I wouldn’t be able to overcome the ‘wizard’s limits’.
‘Wizards like to fight stubbornly.’
Having dirt on your body. Hitting a weapon directly. Waging a physical battle. They are a people who consider everyone to be low-class and barbaric. But that mutation was different.
‘It’s rolling directly.’
It’s a very effective and good technique for breaking arms, but it doesn’t look very good. You can’t fight as noblely as the elemental wizards. For ordinary wizards, their pride would be hurt ten times over.
Ttuduk!
The bronze giant’s arm was broken. The rusty armor was shattered.
Magner couldn’t take his eyes off Larsen.
‘You ripped off your arm, right?’
After realizing that it was a wizard-type guardian, he dodged one large attack and momentarily closed the distance and ripped off his arm. Now that guardian will no longer be able to use magic.
[Go back.]
A wizard-type guardian who cannot use magic. It’s no longer a threat. Magner moved.
“You’re using a minnow like this very aggressively.”
Magner raised his fighting power.
‘Because you gave me a good view.’
Wizard. Not an ordinary wizard, but one of Maton’s successors, I saw him rolling on the ground and using martial arts.
‘I’ll give you a nice view too.’
Larsen felt his body stiffen for a moment. I felt Magner’s fighting power like a tidal wave. Although it was not visible to the naked eye, it was interpreted by the heavenly eyes. Larsen hastily ended Cheonan activation. Cheonan cannot handle that energy. Intangible energy. Fighting power. It bloomed from Magner’s body.
‘What is this?’
Magner said.
“Break down.”
At the same time, the Bronze Giant turned into powder and disappeared. Magner just spoke. Larsen was dumbfounded.
‘This… is the state of the spirit of speech.’
The ‘words’ of those who have risen to the rank of the absolute are imbued with power. A martial artist. Wizard. Swordsman. It doesn’t matter what field it is.
‘This kind of monstrous ability appears at the beginning of the novel?’
As always, the stronger the ability, the later it appears in the novel. We are now at the very beginning of the novel. In other words, even at the very beginning of the novel, Magner has the power of ‘words’.
‘also.’
I realized one more thing.
‘This world is dangerous.’
The fantasy world is too dangerous.

Yongdu Mountain.
A place where the mountains are high and rugged, but there are no precious herbs or monsters that make money. It is a place that people rarely visit. A man and a woman appeared here.
A woman in her early 20s and a man in his mid-teens. The woman in her early 20s had a large backpack on her back, much larger than her body. Even though she was climbing a mountain, she moved as light as a feather. Rather, it was the boy who was exhausted. The boy’s name is Hampton. This is the shadow that has been assisting the 7th Prince Lassen since he was young.
“sister. Panting. “Let’s take a break.”
“Can you say that you are the shadow of Confucius because your physical strength is so weak?”
“It’s not that I’m weak, it’s that you are too strong.”
Hampton sat with his back against the tree, breathing heavily.
“I can’t believe you were such a monster.”
“….”
“When I saw Confucius, I was shocked, fainted, surprised, and scared. Was that all an act?”
“It was all a necessary process.”
“You can retire and join a theater company as an actor.”
Heira walked away without answering.
‘I think it’s somewhere around here.’
Larsen told Heira in advance before leaving on the road with Magner.
[It leaves two days after I leave. The destination is Yongdusan Mountain. I’m deducing that Evelia’s arrangement is for a ‘well’ somewhere there. I think that well is the entrance to the dungeon.]
So we set off two days later.
“Let’s move.”
“Let’s take it a little easier, sister. “I feel like I’m going to break my leg.”
“Confucius is waiting.”
Hampton stood up.
“let’s go!”
After a while.
Heira was able to find a well. Heira’s heart became a little anxious.
‘There are traces of battle.’
Although it is faint, I feel a ‘yogi’. Heira stopped in her seat.
“for a moment.”
Yogi’s owner is probably dead. It seems like it has disappeared. But it was a bit strange.
‘This feeling. It feels familiar somehow.’
I also saw a well in front of me. Before entering the well, there is something I need to find out. It felt like there was something hidden. It’s something that only a ‘silent and secretive’ assassin can know.
* * *
Magner said smugly.
“Have you seen your master’s majesty?”
“Why didn’t you do it this way in the first place?”
“My body is getting old, so if I use too much effort, I get bone problems.”
For something like that, the power I felt was so overwhelming. The guardian has completely crumbled into powder and disappeared.
“You’re too strong to have bone disease.”
“anyway. So what do you plan to do now?”
“Doesn’t the existence of a guardian mean that there is a treasure that the guardian must protect?”
“I guess so.”
“Then we have to get that treasure. “I will take the lead.”
Larsen took the lead and started walking. Then Larsen suddenly stopped in his tracks.
“By the way, Master.”
“why?”
“Isn’t something strange?”
“what?”
Larsen’s eyes narrowed.
“Master, you must know something strange.”
“This guy. Speak straight. “Don’t spin around.”
Magner raised his fist. Magner looked forward to it. What will Larsen say?
‘I could have told you.’
In fact, this was something I had to say as a guardian when I was with a 10-year-old. But I didn’t tell you on purpose. Because there has been no ‘fatal danger’ yet.
Magner had hoped Larsen would figure it out on his own.
‘I’m looking forward to it. ‘Did you really get it?’
Larsen continued.
