Chapter 260 – #58_All Darkness Comes From the East (6)
#258
One.
Siwoo’s training schedule became a little tighter than before.
Rather than having a special reason, he felt the need to do something in a state where he did not know what danger would come.
He increased what was originally two hours of hard training around noon to once in the morning and once in the evening.
Of course, it was hard enough to die.
There is no way that teacher Eloa, who is strict and strict, has a tight schedule, so she can’t take it easy. In the end, she was covered in bruises in the morning and she had to be beaten again in the evening.
– Boo Woo Woo Woo
A sports car with a luxurious engine sound.
“So, I was given a break for about half a day a week. With the help of a friend named Takasho I mentioned before, I bought daily necessities in Taro Town. Well, it was almost a magic item to be a daily necessity.”
“…… “
While Siwoo was doing things in Gehenna as requested by Eloa.
Elroa was lying comfortably on her back, her eyes gently closed.
Siwoo, who was watching him from the sidelines, asked.
“Are you very tired?”
Elroa opened her eyes, her tightly closed eyelids quivering.
“No, I am listening. I’m sorry, I was the one who asked you to talk… “
In fact, this training, enforced at Siwoo’s request, was burdensome for Eloa as well.
If there’s one weakness she suffers from, it’s endurance.
In the process of forcibly modifying magnetic magic and pursuing strength, the previously achieved optimization was broken.
It can exert tremendous power in an instant, but on the contrary, it is also quickly exhausted.
In simple terms, it would be nice to think of it as a racing sports car that doesn’t think about fuel economy.
Furthermore, in order to deal with Siwoo, who was infinitely more foolish compared to Eloa, it took more ‘strength to control the force’ so that Siwoo would not be seriously injured than ‘strength to swing a fist’.
If you have to compare it, it can be said that it is similar to holding soft tofu so that it does not get crushed.
In addition, just because the hierarchy is high doesn’t mean that you can handle a larger amount of magic power unconditionally.
Depending on the type of brand or the system of magic, each witch has different magical powers that can be used and stored.
If it wasn’t for that, Siwoo, who can create tremendous magical power through repeated amplification, would have already been around the 25th rank.
Elroa wasn’t one of those great people with her magical power reserves.
Thus, at the end of her second practice, she often closed her eyes and rested quietly like this.
“I don’t know if I asked too much or not.”
“Isn’t the effect very good? You must be feeling it too.”
“Master’s teachings, well, nothing more to say.”
“You’re being sarcastic again.”
When Siwoo talked about her jokes, Eloah also laughed.
“Still, it doesn’t seem like you only had very bad memories.”
“I can’t say that much. Still, sometimes I think about it. I want to see my friends too.”
“I heard that you were under Baron Marigold’s exclusive right? Did he treat you well?”
Siu hesitated before answering.
“… Yes, but at the point of becoming an exclusive, they took care of a lot of convenience.”
It was a very slight delay, but Eloa quickly noticed that Siu’s mood had changed to ambiguous.
Previously, when he talked about his slavery, he talked about this and that with a lot of energy, but when it came to Marigold, he kept his mouth shut.
First of all, she didn’t even tell her story.
“If we meet again later, I should at least say thank you.”
“Have you met Amelia?”
“When I first heard the news that Ea Sadalmelik was dead. She met through Deneb’s arrangement. That wicked bitch was put to an end by the baron.”
“Ah….”
Come to think of it, I think there was another connection like that.
I glanced at the passenger seat to see if I was depressed, but it was the usual Eloah.
Even though she had sleepy eyes that seemed like she would doze off at any moment.
“How was it?”
“How have you been?”
“Amelia-sama, in that condition… “
“Well, at that time I was not in a hurry either… I couldn’t take a closer look at her, but as rumors say, she’s a very beautiful witch.”
A moment of awkward silence followed.
Siwoo first got rid of the atmosphere that was trying to get a little heavy.
“Master is also very kind.”
“It’s been word of mouth. I told you not to do it, but it’s a joke again.”
“Really.”
“Stop!”
Tiphareth always wants to keep his dignity, but when Siwoo praises him from time to time, even the solemn master feels embarrassed.
Even so, he seems to like it secretly, so he is often serving it as a service.
“So today… “
“Siw! Before!”
When you get off a quiet road and enter a national road adjacent to an alley.
Eloah urgently shouted Siwoo’s name.
When I checked ahead at her young call, I saw In-young, whose shadow was in the headlights.
Siwoo slammed on the brakes immediately.
-Kikiiik!
As soon as I hit the brakes, my body leans forward with the sound of tires grinding into the asphalt.
However, no matter how quickly he reacted, the distance was too short.
This is because the opponent suddenly ran out of hiding in a perfect blind spot.
– Empty!
And the body of the car rattles from the shock to the extent that it is unbelievable that it has hit only one person.
With a crackling impact, the sound of an object passing over the windshield and rolling on the ceiling of the car was heard.
“This… !”
When Siwoo opened the door and tried to get out, Elroa grabbed Siwoo by the wrist.
“I will get off first.”
“Master, this is not the time… “
“Chiu, calm down. You are not human.”
Eloa held her summoned contract sword at an angle and pointed it at her car bumper.
Siu held his breath.
It wasn’t even that fast.
Only about 60km/h.
I hit the brakes hard before the crash, and considering the supercar’s excellent braking performance, I probably slowed down a lot.
Even so, the car is almost half-destroyed.
This wouldn’t have happened if it had only bumped into a person’s body.
Eloa opened her door and pointed her knife at something that flew into the back of her car.
“…….”
Siwoo also followed and took a look at the messy bumper before approaching Eloa.
A woman stretched out on the asphalt.
Her clothes are torn in places, and her body is full of terrible wounds and burn marks.
It did not appear to have been caused by being hit by a car.
In the meantime, that fox-like appearance and red hair were familiar.
“You must be a witch.”
“This is a witch I know. This is Della Radcliffe.”
Siu realized why the horse that Periwinkle had given him was destroyed with just that much of an impact.
It was probably self-defense at the moment of collision.
It’s heartbreaking that the car I’ve been fixing on lately has been smashed to the point where it can’t be revived, but it’s still a hundred times better than hitting a person, so I sighed in relief.
“Redcliffe? This one?”
“Yes, I am sure.”
Redcliffe has a close relationship with Xochitl.
She is Trinity Academy’s classmate, and testimonies say that she was close to the Witch of Cowardice for a long time when she was still a Witch of Heaven.
So, didn’t Mr. Sua point out Redcliffe as an accomplice after the incident with Dagon’s flute?
“Would you like to step back?”
Della seems to have fainted from the shock of the accident.
If she had been in a perfect state, her self-defense would not have ended with this much power.
She would have burned the car in reverse after absorbing all the impact, and if she had done that, she wouldn’t have fallen so badly.
However, the wounds that Della seemed to have suffered from before were not normal.
Even a witch could endanger her life if left unattended for longer than this.
However, Si-woo cannot be allowed to come close to the witch who is suspected of being an accomplice.
When trying to figure out exactly what the situation was.
A blurry dome-shaped curtain begins to form across the street.
“This….”
-Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
Five white knights appearing at the same time as the barriers covering the streets at night.
As if it was taken with Decalcomani, the white knight with the same appearance is white and holding a long spear.
They were the guys who were chasing Della who had run away.
Each of them glared at Siu, Tiphareth, and the fallen Dela with their four eyeballs shining.
They don’t talk, and they don’t seem to be communicating with each other.
While taking actions that seemed to be made by crude artificial intelligence, they were occupying a direction that could be surrounded.
It was a formation for hunting.
Each has no individuality, only a sense of unity as a group.
“Siw.”
Eloah looked at them and spoke to Siu.
Up until now, while helping Siwoo in his training, there was always something he regretted.
It is that Siwoo’s practical experience is too lacking.
No matter how close Dalian is to actual combat, there will always be a difference between actually risking one’s life and fighting.
It doesn’t look like Della will die right away, and if it is now, it is possible to immediately help Siwoo even if he is in danger.
“Try it. I will be looking out for Redcliffe.”
“All right.”
Siu nodded his head and raised his shadow without a word.
In fact, since the appearance of the white knight, tension and trembling, behind it, fighting spirit and curiosity have risen.
It is clear that he grew up being beaten up by Elroa.
She perfectly learned how to strengthen her body with magical powers, learned fa-jin, and practiced countless repetitions so that she could skillfully embody the contract of the King of All Diseases.
However, it cannot happen until the subject of sparring is Eloa.
Elroa was always suppressing her strength and taking care of it to the limit, and that was no different even after Siwoo grew up.
How good would it be to learn boxing and spar with a boxing world champion who has won about 8 weight classes?
Beating street bullies and saying ‘Oh, I’ve gotten a bit stronger’.
The last time I faced a white knight on the roof of a shopping mall, all I could do was kill one with all my might.
Even that was possible only after crossing the line several times in a one-on-one situation.
So what about now?
If it was close combat, would things have changed a lot after the special training she received from Elroa, who was proud of being the strongest?
“Bloom.”
The shadow that had risen in a lump before I knew it wrapped around Siwoo’s body like black smoke.
Sleek and sharp design.
Did you say that the perfect fairy’s clothes without any stitches were called Cheonuimubong?
In that sense, Siwoo’s armor was also a perfect armor that could not exist in reality.
There are no weak seams or gaps.
It fits all parts of the body tightly, absorbs shock, and moves without restrictions like a bare body.
Dark armor that does not reflect any light.
As the helmet that grew from the vertebrae of the neck covered Siwoo’s face, only the left eye, which emitted magical power, glowed with golden light.
When Siwoo stretched out his hand, a heater shield that covered his entire upper body appeared in his left hand, and a longsword that he had been using numerous times in his right hand.
My heart beats more and more violently, but my hands and feet get cold.
Assuming the worst, the fear that blooms fills the heart, and the cold tension settles on the skin like frost.
Fighting isn’t fun either.
If possible, it would be best to avoid it.
But the day Sharon was pierced by the drowned witch.
The day when I couldn’t do anything and just watched the terrible tragedy.
Siu realized.
That those who collapse in fear will only be taken away.
During the training that continued over the past few months, Eloah always spoke.
To be afraid of fighting
Never consider it fun.
But when the time comes to fight, don’t back down.
Now is the time to learn how not to sit down and not back down.
Siwoo put his sword forward and took the defensive posture he had learned from being beaten.
“Let’s try it.”
With a soft whisper.
At the same time, the five white knights kicked the ground in unison.
