Chapter 620 – Chapter 620 Magic School Shutra (4)
Despite my belittling, the knights obeyed my words and headed for the room.
He may have followed my words because he was dismayed by Lena’s skills, but on the other hand, he would have complied with me because he was clearly aware of Lena’s skills.
The overwhelming difference in skill would have given them persuasion.
‘There’s no problem there.’
It was nothing else that I sent the knights to my room.
It was because of Iris.
Before hiding under the bed, I roughly changed my clothes.
Looking at the articles, it wouldn’t be a big problem.
‘Even if I saw it, it would be better than being hit by a stern arrow or sword.’
Above all, it would be better than no knights.
Even so, they were the guys who were bragging about being knights of the royal palace.
Considering Iris’ identity, if she is in danger, she will do her best to protect her.
With that thought in mind, Lena and I headed to the king’s bedroom with a leech called Alexander attached.
As they headed that way, Alexander glanced at Lena and asked if he could no longer hold back her curiosity.
“I… Who is this?”
A maid who quickly slashed several solid iron swords pointed at me and hid her identity while wearing a cloak that hindered her perception.
From Alexander’s point of view, he must have guessed that this maid was an attendant in the palace.
“You don’t have to worry about that….”
I was about to give a warning to Alexander.
“Stop!”
Some knights blocked our path and shouted loudly.
“If you recklessly approach me, I will consider you an enemy. Get out of here!”
It wasn’t Lena or I who immediately reacted to the knight’s words.
It was Alexander.
“I am Alexander Levin! Do you know what you guys are doing!”
“….”
“If you surrender even now, you will no longer be asked for your sins….”
Despite Alexander’s appeasement, the knights….
“Kill!”
Rather, they started running towards us.
The knights rushing at us were in good shape, unlike the knights Alexander Levin was leading earlier.
But only the body is healthy….
[Swordsmanship LV 13], [Swordsmanship LV 15], [Swordsmanship LV 17]….
The talent was lousy.
‘Those guys think it’s enough to wear heavy armor….’
No, the original armor is the best.
In a region where martial arts are weak like this, wearing heavy armor, even if it’s dull, will give you a much better advantage in battle.
However, that was only a story when the armor could use its function normally.
Just like now, to Lena….
Sasasac! Sasak!
“Quaaaaagh!”
“Muh, what! Aagh!”
If it is sliced like tofu, the story is different.
“Correouk….”
“This… What….”
The knights, who had been cut so fast that Lena’s afterimages were visible, collapsed with their last wills and dying words.
And….
“This… What is this….”
The knights who rushed at us were transformed into warm chunks of meat in an instant.
“Hee!”
Alexander Levin slowly backed away from Lena, with an expression as if fear had been driven deep into her brain.
Lena’s face is not revealed due to the Cognitive Disinfection Cloak.
From Alexander’s point of view, Lena would look like a real grim reaper.
I said looking at Alexander like that.
“I hope you don’t needlessly try to find out about my subordinate.”
“Ah, I see! I will keep that in mind!”
The fear in Alexander’s eyes increased the credibility of his words.
‘After this case is solved, he’ll crawl on his own.’
The reason I showed Lena’s skills was because of this part.
As a matter of fact, human beings tend to have different attitudes before and after seizing power.
After I left, this guy might harm Luna and Karin for his own benefit.
However….
‘If they thought that someone as talented as Lena was hiding as a maid, they would crawl on their own.’
If you think that the god of death is watching you for the rest of your life, you will never do anything stupid.
Once the Alexander problem was solved.
Last… If you solve the Dominic problem, everything is over.
‘Ah… There’s Count Potts too.’
Where did this bastard run away….
Originally, I was angry, but when I kept getting caught up in troublesome things, I started to get more angry without even realizing it.
‘When you get caught, you and your son are searched in pairs.’
I thought so, and Lena and I led Alexander to the king’s bedchamber.
After that, they faced the knights several times, but they were able to break through easily with Lena’s skills.
On the way….
“Stop.”
Another voice of interruption was heard.
By the way….
‘Woman?’
Instead of the clunky knight’s tone I’d heard so far, I heard a soft woman’s voice.
And the woman’s true identity….
“Could you… Student Seong Su-ho?”
She was a female court mage who said she would do me a favor.
She checked the figure of Alexander following me, and she began to sigh loudly.
“Ha… Why….”
I just got a feeling
That court mage was now on the side of Dominique Levin.
And you must have been thinking about me.
As her court mage voiced her perplexity, her alexander quickly took notice of her and began to persuade her.
“Now Seong Soo-ho is on my side! Please! Please help us!”
“….”
See how clever you are.
It’s true that I’m on your side why does that come out of your mouth
But it wasn’t exactly wrong, so I decided to keep an eye on it.
The court wizard pressed his forehead several times and asked me a question directly.
“Is it true what Prince Alexander said?”
“Yes.”
“Whoa….”
The court mage sighed again and opened her mouth as she turned to show us her back.
“Let’s go.”
I approached the court mage and asked.
“Are you okay? If you help me, you’ll be in trouble….”
The appearance of the court mage made me worry without knowing it.
This woman was a woman who, in her own way, had a favor and bestowed upon me.
It seemed to me that if a difficult situation arose while helping me, I would have no choice but to leave a bitter aftertaste.
However….
“If you were just my junior, I would have used evil to get you on my side.”
Haha….”
At this point, I felt it.
Stra’s school ties were tough and tough.
“But you are the one who has been endorsed by the dean. No wonder the weight of the scales in my heart leans toward you.”
Alexander started to laugh hysterically.
Then, powerlessly chasing after us, he opened his mouth.
“I regretted not having any talent for magic all my life, but I don’t think there will ever be a day as lamentable as today.”
For reference, there was not a single person in the Levin family who was talented in magic.
Perhaps because she was from a royal family, she didn’t show any urgency about magic like Karin.
And, ironically, Alexander seemed to feel that Stra’s origin was greater than that of the royal family.
‘But… I’m realizing it right now.’
I thought so and headed to my destination like a court mage.
And as soon as he reached the king’s bedroom, he faced a wall.
It wasn’t a real wall.
The court wizard sighed as he touched the transparent glass-like wall.
“Ha… After all, the barrier has already been deployed.”
“A barrier?”
“Yes. You haven’t learned it yet because you’re in the first year, but it’s a mana barrier from non-attribute magic that you’ll learn in the third year.”
The court mage spoke simply.
“It’s just a barrier using pure mana without giving any attributes.”
“Wow… It’s good.”
It was a magic that seemed quite convenient if you just listened to the words of the court mage.
And it was a magic that I wanted to learn too.
However, he explained that this mana barrier had some fatal flaws.
“Except for exams, this magic is a magic that has been advised not to use before graduation.”
“Yes? Why?”
“… It is because the output limit has not been set.”
Most of the time, when casting magic, the magic circle is used by putting the text of the output in the magic circle.
Otherwise, the flow of mana would become unstable and the magic would not come out, or in the worst case, the magic could be unleashed in an unwanted form.
However, he explained that this mana barrier does not draw such an output limit part in the use of magic circles.
“Once the incoming damage is offset, it is a method of automatically flowing mana and restoring it.”
“It’s efficient.”
“Yes… But the efficiency could kill you.”
What if you receive a shock greater than the mana of the person who cast the mana barrier at once?
Immediately, the caster becomes a mummy and dies.
Like the assistant professor I killed using mana drain….
Alexander, who was listening to me and the court mage, smiled and said,
“Then, the court mage and you here… If everyone attacks at the same time, you can easily break it, right?”
“Ha… With that said, it’s possible. Unless the person who deployed this mana barrier was the Chief Court Mage.”
“Ah….”
A senior court mage would have more mana than an ordinary mage.
It may not be at the level of Professor Stra, but it must have been great enough to compete with them.
The court mage swept the mana barrier with her hand and spoke to me.
“I decided to help you, so I’ll take care of this.”
“How are you going to break through?”
“… How do you break through I just have to make a fuss.”
She seemed to be as insecure as she was as much as this.
If you think about it, there will be a difference in skill level at the point of having a senior and a second rank even for the same court mage.
Even she is neither senior nor secondary.
She probably has skills several points lower than the two of them.
Professors may be like that, but they are no different.
I bravely stepped forward, stopping the court mage who was trying to draw the magic circle.
“May I try?”
“… Are you?”
The court mage started laughing as if she were watching a child play.
It didn’t sound like a laugh.
It was just a feeling of being looked upon as cute like a child’s stroke.
But now was not the time to accept her sentiments.
“I’ll try it first. Everyone… Please turn your head.”
Haha, yes. Try it.”
“Ah, I see.”
The court mage gave her a wry smile and turned her away, and Alexander turned away in embarrassment.
I thought after confirming that the court mage and Alexander had turned their backs.
‘Wouldn’t you like to see it?’
I don’t know anything else, but I can’t show my magic circles in front of the court mage.
‘Great!’
Said the court wizard.
‘Is it okay if I give it a strong shock?’
With the mana barrier he had seen for the first time in front of him, a question arose.
I hung the superconducting arrow on the bowstring and muttered with a smile.
‘It’s perfect for testing my magic (physical) skills.’
I hummed inwardly and gave it the 2nd level brain attribute, then let go of the bowstring.
***
A roaring sound began pouring in with a huge vibration in the king’s bedroom, where until now there had been no faint thread-like sound.
Aaaaang!
“What, what!”
A roar like a castle collapsing.
The moment Dominique Levine panicked and looked at the situation….
“Quaaaaagh!”
“Ooh, the court mage!?”
The chief court mage suddenly twisted and fell to the floor.
Dominique Levine and the knights in the room panicked and rushed at him to check his condition.
“Hey, calm down! Why all of a sudden….”
Dominique couldn’t let out any more worried words.
Already the court mage….
“Eh, what is this….”
It was because his eyes were turned inside out and he was dead in the form of a mummy.
As if the devil had collected his soul….
In a sudden situation, the knights started to panic without knowing why.
“Wow, Prince! Gu, why did the court mage….”
“….”
Dominique Levin was also a stranger to magic.
Even he had no way of knowing why the court mage had become like this.
However, one thing was certain.
“Everybody, get out of your bedroom and check the situation!”
“Yes!”
Fear was injected into the eyes of the knights, but as knights, they moved their bodies according to the prince’s words.
When the knights went outside the king’s bedroom, the king of Levin, who was lying on the bed, began to scold Dominique hard.
“Stop it… Even now….”
“….”
Dominic watched the king struggling to speak and began to scratch the words spoken by the king in a sharp voice.
“Your majesty. You’d better not make fun of his mouth too much. Even for health….”
“This, this guy….”
Just kingship.
All he wanted to do was crush his father and sit there.
‘… Wouldn’t it have been better to just kill him right away and kill Alexander as well?’
It was not because of his bastard duty or affection that Dominic did not kill the king.
Just….
‘Nope… Killing him like that and inheriting the throne will only make matters worse.’
He was to be crowned with minimal recognition.
He is said to have committed treason, but he was already the legitimate heir.
The dark history of treason could easily be erased if the king was formally crowned by pressing the king, or if the king was confined to a bedroom and waited until he died before receiving the throne.
It would be annoying right now, but it was a situation that was planned with the future in mind.
However, as he fell to the floor and saw the dead court mage, a sense of regret hidden deep in the abyss began to rise.
‘Did I make a mistake… ? If you kill me now….’
That was the moment when he trembled with anxiety and spewed his murderous intent toward the king.
A commotion suddenly started outside the room.
(Who, who!)
(If it doesn’t turn off right away… Ghah!)
(Gagging! Mu, what….)
(My arm!! Big!)
“What, what!”
As soon as Dominic Levin heard the screams, he instinctively drew his sword from the scabbard at his waist.
But the moment he draws his sword….
‘… What? Why is it so quiet all of a sudden?’
If there was a fight going on, it would have been normal for it to continue to be noisy.
However, the commotion lasted less than 3 seconds at most, and silence began to hang around like a ship sunk in the sea.
The moment that was so quiet….
Tuck, tuck, tuck.
The sound of someone’s footsteps began to be heard clearly.
And not long after….
I’m sorry.
At the same time as the man’s tired face appeared, a voice full of annoyance came out of his mouth.
“Dominique Levine. The playing house is over now.”
