Chapter 48 – Arrest – 4
Light radiated from the magic crystal.
At the same time as recognizing that, Chloe had to make a decision at that moment.
-Kiiiiing!
This phenomenon is a symptom of the magic power sealed in the magic stone trying to burst out.
A bubbling, messy flow of magical power. A magic stone that is about to break as it begins to crack. However, there was definitely a very short time until this magic power exploded. If it was Chloe herself, it was quite possible for her to pull herself back and step down immediately in this short amount of time.
Yes. If alone
-Kiiiiing!
Measure the amount of boiling mana. This much magic attribute. The quality and quantity were not up to par. The scope of the explosion is a situation where damage is sure to be suffered not only in the alleyway but also in other nearby buildings and local residents living there.
In addition, if he had to withdraw to a safe range, he had to leave the bald merchant, the owner of this slave trade union. It’s right under the magic crystal that’s about to explode. It will disappear without leaving a trace.
Other people at the top may know what’s behind this. Most of them were made up of slaves, so if you think you don’t know, the bald merchant is the most likely to think you know something. So he must live.
Chloe’s thoughts were short, and her judgment was quick.
“Aww!”
Like slow motion, he reached out and grabbed the magic crystal that was slowly beginning to crack. As soon as it touches, the reaction of the mana is rapidly inflated. And even the repulsive force felt in the hand.
I stared openly. There is no doubt that this is a form that will be activated automatically when a magical power holder approaches. It’s also a control method that activates when you get this close.
“Kuh… !”
Chloe immediately raised her mana.
Extremely speaking, what you do is not different from the test Leoric Franz did. Suppresses the exploding magical power from his hand, and redirects the direction of that force into empty space.
However, the difficulty required for shedding was incomparably more difficult than at that time.
The tip of the finger that wrapped the magic crystal flew away. The skin on the palms is burned, and the bones in the arms are shattered. It wasn’t even suppressing the mana about to explode, it was this much power just by touching it. It was judged that even standing with the body of a knight who was not a nobleman would be difficult. A body that has been strengthened with magical power is also different from a normal human in terms of durability. It wasn’t impossible to become harder than the monsters. Even so.
Yet die
This power. I felt the power of the mana about to burst through my skin.
The moment it explodes, the strengthened body will not be able to withstand it and will explode, leaving not even a trace. Never see the owner again. The thought flashed through her mind, but Chloe erased even that thought. Even the resources used to think right now were lacking.
– Quick.
Cracks in the body. Fractured, broken. After grasping the damage inflicted on her in that short amount of time, Chloe made a decision. This is good enough. As I said to the bald merchant, the respected master’s healing techniques are incomparable to his own. As long as the heart and brain are intact, there is no problem. With that in mind, even part of the mana used for reinforcement began to be stolen.
– Quick.
The magical energy that surged through Chloe’s body drew a circle.
The body is like a pillar. Chloe’s magic drew a circle around the pillar. And the circle began to guide the magical power of the magic stone like a kind of path.
It was hard to understand even half of what he said, but in the end, the important thing is that you don’t have to force it. There was no need to directly touch the flow of magical power that was about to explode with this recklessness. Just twist the direction of this magical power.
– The important thing is the idea.
He said
In this era, the magic control technology of knights is sophisticated. The skills that have been researched through repeated real battles on the battlefield are those that have been completed without needing to be further damaged.
However, if there is one thing lacking, it is diversity.
Idea. Imagination. A flash close to delusion. Don’t just spill nonsense that you joke about, think about it. Don’t laugh at it as a wild dream, think it’s a real thing.
-Chuck!
I did not hesitate to resist as my body was pushed out by the repulsive force of magical power and backed away. Currently, only the body structures that exist for standing, including the head, heart, and spine, are strengthened to a minimum. Standing firmly, Chloe twisted the magic crystal in her hand into the air.
Several fingers disappeared due to the repelling force of magic, and the skin peeled off long ago, revealing the red muscles and white bones that make up the arms.
Enduring the pain even with such an arm, Chloe began to move gently.
Draw a circle.
Don’t try to control the force, don’t try to hold on to it. Just push It’s not even magic that explodes under someone’s control. Just an explosion of condensed magical power. At this level, Chloe decided that she could do it herself.
Then do it.
The method itself was similar to the existing method of shedding that was practiced by the Knights. Using the center as the base of the body, it simply draws a circle endlessly and moves without stopping for a moment.
[Taegeuk]. He said so. A strange word that is difficult to even pronounce. The word that he said as if he spilled it even though he didn’t know what it meant. Chloe doesn’t doubt God, and as he said, she knows how to control Taegeuk. He didn’t stop training.
-Gooooo!
Blue magic power is radiating into the air and into the sky. It is drawn in the form of a circle, and a huge whirlpool begins to color the night sky. And to the last drop. The moment I realized that all my magic power had been released.
“Ah.”
Chloe, who changed the flow of his mana in his trance, realized that he had poured out all the mana in his body. He recognized that it was finally over only after seeing the calm surroundings and the empty magic crystal that was destroyed as soon as the cracks were gone, and Chloe looked up at the sky.
He is the blue colored sky he has created. There was no significant damage to the surrounding buildings, and the bald merchant also realized that he had done it after seeing that he had lost his mind in the huge flow of magic power.
“Ah…”
Only then did Chloe realize that it was over, and her legs faltered. Magical exhaustion and stamina consumption. Even the pain felt belatedly there. Unable to hold on any longer, his legs give out and he collapses. As he collapsed, the moment his consciousness faded, the soft, warm touch that wrapped around his body gave strength to his fading eyes for the last time.
“Good work”
The opaque vision was dyed gold. A warm voice and a warm touch at the end. A faint smile was drawn on Chloe’s lips at the hand that wrapped around her.
* * *
At least duchy.
From dukes onwards, there is not much difference from royalty. It can be said to be the highest level of magic in this world.
Although the purity of magical power dropped a lot because it was stored in a magic stone.
What kind of madman made it something like this If this happens within the territory, it is not a problem with one or two houses. One district was almost destroyed.
“When a magical power holder approaches, it reacts and explodes.”
I looked at the magic crystal that was cracked and empty. A magic stone that lost its function due to the magic contained within it and became a mere stone.
The circuit drawn there was caught up in the explosion of magic and disappeared, but it was possible to roughly infer from the traces felt.
“Dare.”
Dare.
Whether Franz was the target or not, it didn’t matter.
“Dare.”
Where is this
How dare you do this in Franz?
– Pudeuk!
The sight began to be stained with golden magic.
Anger broke control. She was aware of that, but she couldn’t stand it.
The golden light rising from her body began to color the world.
“Torture or whatever.”
Find out everything.
Regardless of means and methods.
Even if you kill everyone who blocks it.
“All right.”
Zeke, who appeared later, knelt down and replied.
Not only that, but the other vassals left behind by Franz also started to move without saying anything at the sight of Leoric Franz who was enraged.
As a result, it was blocked without any damage.
Just look at the results though.
“…”
I looked at Chloe who had fallen asleep in my arms. If I had used my magic contained in the frame of my glasses, I would have judged that the surrounding area would be swept away by the repulsive force. Using only his own mana, he turned his direction toward the sky, spilling the explosion of magic crystals. As a result, not only Young Ji-min but also the buildings were safe, and even the bald merchant was caught without any injuries.
Great.
I should have praised that.
I noticed the explosion of the magic crystal, but I felt Chloe’s magical power and watched it slowly. If Chloe couldn’t solve it, she tried to solve it, but she completed her own task as her knight.
As a noble, I should praise him and give him a prize.
“Ha.”
Chloe only has 5 fingers left. Her skin peeled off, and her muscles were bruised. The bones of her whole body are broken, and considering her minor injuries, it is a miracle that she is alive.
Chloe’s entire body was soaked in blood, and her golden magic slowly began to seep into her body, healing her wounds.
“… Yes. 100 points, 100 points.”
It’s been quite a while since I passed 100 points, but there were also things for my sister-in-law and things I put off.
“This is true.”
She thought it was time to give her eunuch, but she didn’t dare to roll her body this far. Do I have to deduct points?
“Even after you’re pregnant, if you act recklessly like this, I’ll have to punish you.”
I straightened Chloe’s disheveled hair and she smiled.
