The wise man returns

After escaping a void filled with the corpses of the Black Demon, Balin fled with all his might.

The neighborhood where he's headed is filled with affluent housing.

It was the secluded area in the capital, so it was best to avoid civilian damage.

After checking on Andropos, Balin began to pour out her magic with no time to breathe.

Stormy attack magic thanks to the effects of no-man 's-land!

You raise a firewall to block your view, then shoot Ice Lance into a heap.

It was a powerful attack like the Siege Cold, but it wasn't the only thing Balin prepared.

Lightning shocks gathered on either side suddenly flashed a Sityellow lightning bolt.

The young interest in the face of Andropos, who has just defeated Firewall, has deepened.

“Ugh? I've never seen you cast before, but is this also the effect of your artifact? ”

The Sword of the Swordmaster gathers in his blade, seemingly questioning.

With a clear blue glow, Andropos swung his sword and struck the ice spear and lightning.

Kwajic! Kwazak!

Enough lethal magic to kill hundreds of soldiers in a heartbeat.

Balin's cold sweat intensified as he threw it away.

“You must be a top level sodmaster, unlike the Marquis of Tennessee...! ”

If it had been Earl Tennessee standing there, he would have been pushed back a long time by now.

But Andropos is speeding up just as if nothing had hit him.

Balin first summoned Earth Wall and then set foot between the corners of the house.

Five layers of haystacks, and you're pushing at speed! We'll get caught at this rate! ’

I hear footsteps behind my back. Balin takes a deep breath and turns to face Andropos.

If you hang more haystacks here, you won't be able to control your speed.

But if you keep moving at this speed, you'll get caught.

Balin's intention is to wage a battle here in a narrow alleyway rather than moving into a predictable future.

“Ahhhh!! ”

With both hands of the fighting Balin, an enormous amount of charge clung together.

Andropos was surprised as soon as he saw that.

Lightning magic is a terrifying attack that damages your opponent's essence, regardless of any defense!

If you don't push harder, you'll get beaten up!

Andropos' blade spins round and round. As Mana forms in the blade's trajectory, he pushes it into the next trajectory at once.

During the explosion of a fast-made sword struck by lightning, Andropos' blade gathered more power than its sword.

“Son of a bitch! I've never liked one so much! Never give up! ”

“Now, wait a minute. Not the sword! ”

Valine's eyes widen, and she screams in horror.

When a sword with a destructive power that is not comparable to a sword explodes, the damage spreads in all directions.

Balin, who wanted to do such a crazy thing, chose Mana with a big smile.

All five Manaholes are empty, but Balin's aggression does not stop.

The ether I've been training and stockpiling for as long as possible, but now was not the time.

An enormous amount of Mana turned into a shield of various attributes.

After twenty layers of ice shields are created in a heartbeat, the heavy steel wall rises from all sides to create a secondary stop.

And yet, fearlessly, Valine unleashes a tornado full of Fire Lance.

At that moment, Andropos shoots out the steel with a slash.

Sword steel, one of the most powerful attackers a Swordsman can use.

The powerful force erupts in an instant.

Kwakwakwakwa - Kwakwabang!!

“Huff!! ”

“What, what! ”

The explosion in the Northwest City caused people's gaze to rush in.

Vibrations have spread so far that you can feel the ground shaking.

Of course, Balin, who was standing in front of it, was literally building a death prize.

“Shhhhh!!!! ”

It's your first time dealing with Castro. I didn't put much effort into pushing him out.

Despite a long feeling of devastation, Valine does not stop pouring Mana.

Because if you don't, that explosion will wipe this whole area out!

The ice shield melts before it hits, and the steel wall burns and evaporates like snow in front of the sun.

It was the ether that gathered the strength of the steel that pushed you to Fire Lance.

[Vision Magic - Arcane Blaster!]

The power I gained in my last life! When I used it, the attack on the sword stopped.

No, it felt like the sword was shattered.

The smile disappears in an instant from the face of Andropos who was watching.

You didn't think they'd attack with their swords pushed out!?

At this point, it would be understandable for the Horseman to conceal his identity, not at the level of genius.

Andropos draws all his strength and wields his sword.

From the end comes Andropos' sword. Numerous figures of swords collided with the arcane blaster, each containing its own mystery.

His special creation of all the tombstones of swords. If this doesn't work, you'll have to admit defeat.

Pupperfoot!! Pupperfoot!!!

The villa next to it collapses, unable to withstand the shock. In it, Andropos sighs and looks beyond the dust.

I stopped the terrifying blue light somehow. even though he's exhausted because he's used up all his strength.

“What are you...”

Beyond the gaze of his gaze, there was a similar size stone instead of smeared where the dust was washed.

At that moment, Andropos' face was embarrassed to learn that Balin had already left his body.

Needless to say, his defeat was clean.

Andropos plunges into the ground with a hollow smile.

Soldiers gathered in the remaining traces kick their tongues around the devastated area.

I don't know who did it, but if the aftermath of the crash is enough,

I didn't want to imagine how much damage it would do if it crashed head-on.

* * *

I heard an opening in Elia's ear while she was in the middle of the afternoon working.

Elia's fine brow wrinkles as she comes in without knocking.

“I don't know who that is, but with respect... Valine?! ”

“Huff, huff. Wait a minute, wait a minute. ”

Elijah, who was harsh in his voice, suddenly approaches in shock.

Balline came through the door and looked exhausted.

Moreover, there was blood flowing from all over the forehead and body, so it was not hard for Elijah to do this.

The sighing Balin calms his breath and takes a breath.

When Mana breathed and the innocent Mana came in, Bin Mana circles quickly filled up.

Balin sighs. She turns to Elijah and reaches out.

“It's me, Red Eir. Give it to me now. It's urgent.”

“What happened all of a sudden? Just a moment."

Elijah gives up the Red Eir without hesitation, even asking.

Balin, who had received the staff, sighs and turns around the tower.

Fortunately, it doesn't look like Andropos has pursued us this far.

Just then, the body of Balin's body was relaxed, like seaweed soaked in water.

Elia hears a small voice that holds her still to the ground.

“Don't tell anyone that I came all this way. ”

“What happened? What did the Church of Layan do? ”

Balin shakes his head lightly and opens his mouth.

“It's not like that, so what happened is...”

“Found it. Figured you'd be here, too. ”

The color of her face pales like a blank slate in the old man's voice.

Elijah turns away, leaning out of the window, looking at the old man waving his hands and tilting his head.

“Grandpa...? But how did you get there...”

“I'm going in.”

The eyes of the elderly man, Andropos, who had entered the dormitory before taking any action, turned towards Balin.

“Ha, ha. Shit, we lost. I lost. Suit yourself. ”

“What the hell are you? ”

In the end, Balin, who was declaring his surrender with his hands raised, asked for his identity by drowning his eyes.

In the end, he swallowed a sharp stick that seemed to be discarded here.

Even if you've recovered enough Mana to breathe, that doesn't mean you can still fight.

The Tower of Ruby is located in the middle of nowhere. If you fight here, the whole tower will collapse.

No matter how much he thought about it, Valine finally released Mana and replied.

“Humans.”

“Were you really human? ”

Balin greeted Andropos with a bitter smile.

“You didn't mix your hands. Then you can decide for yourself whether I'm telling the truth or not. ”

Andropos clenches his tongue and lowers his sword.

Obviously, no matter how many Mana you collect, Dark Mana will be mixed.

No matter how fragrant the fruit is, if its center rots, it will rot as a whole.

However, the strength I felt when I encountered Balin was different.

Obviously it was incredibly hard and destructive.

However, I didn't think the mana of darkness was mixed.

I knew it when I bumped into him myself. The identity of the power...

“How did you do that? ”

“Yes? What...”

Despite Elijah's ignorance of the English language, Andropos adds to his question.

“The power. Obviously, it was Mana who condensed and condensed. I've never made one myself, but I've never seen such destructive power before. ”

The process of linking five Mana circles.

The pure mana agglomerates that emerged from it were just as powerful.

It is equal to the power of Andropos at the end of the sword master.

It was not so hard to imagine its power.

“I'm afraid I can't inform you of that. ”

“Hmm?”

“You're hiding a certain number of spleens, too. That's what it looked like to me. ”

Andropos' forehead twitches when he hears his reply.

An answer you might think is arrogant enough to overhear.

Especially when you're suspected of being a servant of the Devil.

But as soon as I heard the answer, the ultimate Sword Master couldn't help but laugh.

“What? Hahahaha!! If it's a prosecutor, no. Every man is hiding a single act of inversion. Yeah, you're right. I was wrong to ask. ”

In front of Andropos, who bursts into laughter, Valine sighs with a death wound.

I think I just liked the answer, but I wanted to avoid it as a Balin who didn't want to be a student.

“So, what do you want, a pupil? ”

“I like it even more! I'll teach you properly... Huh? ”

Andropos' eyes shake as he brings it to light.

Obviously, when it came to gathering disciples, he secretly moved to keep the rumors from leaking out.

Thanks to him, no one even knew he was raising an apprentice.

I never thought he'd put it in his mouth first.

“Did you know? ”

“...! ”

At that moment, Valine swallowed a gulp. Seeing that he was desperate, he said it first.

Perhaps you will deduce this, so it was important to know what your answer was about it.

Slowly persuade them to have doubts about me, to give up their power...

The moment I thought about it, Andropos came forward and opened his mouth.

“That'll make it quicker. Come on, let's go. ”

"Shit!! ’

Balin cursed at Andropos several times in his mind.

‘We must stop them at all costs. If we get dragged into Andropos like this, it's all over! ’

When I was taken from here to Andropos, there were no dreams or hopes.

Even the Ruby Tower that you put in power will not only miss the trajectory of the magical training on the horizon.

I will forget all knowledge and time while practicing my sword.

Life and death training over and over again. I couldn't have survived without a Pallianian talent.

Even if I try hard, if I come back, the Demon King's purpose will already be over.

Even if I die here, I can't go.

“I can't do that. ”

“There's nothing there. ”

Valine takes a deep breath before speaking.

“I can't, because I have a burden here. ”

“Whatever you have to carry, it will be lighter than my sword. Follow me quietly. ”

Andropos approaches, ignoring everything he says.

It seemed impossible to change his mind.

It was just when Andropos tried to grab Valine's hand.

“Well, there's one thing I want to ask you first. ”

The solemn Balin figure curls Andropos' eyes in curiosity.
