15 – Journey to the Empire (3)

Sasasasak-

An ominous noise approaches.

Knowing it was an emergency, I quickly ran to the campfire.

PABABAK-! The snakes followed, raising dust from behind.

My heart was pounding.

People in a panic were pulling snakes at random.

“What a fuss!”

“Where did all this come from?!”

“Aagh! I bit the leg!”

The silence of the middle of the night was shattered, and the whole area was filled with shouts and roars. Among the victims, those with weapons were a minority.

The rest hurriedly picked up pokers or wielded wood firewood.

The snake wasn’t strong.

Those who were hit by improvised weapons collapsed helplessly. However, several times that number immediately filled the void.

“This is…”

I looked around blankly.

It was the Black Sea.

Filling the ground, the swaying figures reminded me of a raging wave. There was no bow anywhere.

“It’s the snake god…! The snake god sent it! We’re all dead now!”

When I heard the man’s voice in despair, I remembered.

Although they were small, they were clearly the equivalent of the snake god.

It was only then that I remembered the ability of the family that some of the gods had. These were not snake gods, nor were they his alter egos.

Those who should be called henchmen or followers. It was probably a special monster named ‘Little Black Snake’.

Then some black snakes jumped up.

The target is my neck. He hurriedly swung his cold breath away.

This is dangerous.

When I hurriedly looked, the body of the snake god was nowhere to be seen. It’s comforting, but it doesn’t make you feel safe. If he didn’t come, he must have judged that his family was enough.

At that moment, I saw an intangible blade severing the snakes’ necks. I heard Anasha’s voice.

“Everyone! Surround the campfire in a circle! I’ll form up!”

Embarrassed, she quickly regained her stern attitude. People instinctively followed the voice that made them trust.

It was a good response.

First of all, snakes have poor eyesight.

Since they depend on vibration or heat detection, darkness was just their home ground.

On the other hand, for humans, sight was absolute. If they lost their light source, they would perish in an instant.

It was advantageous to fight in a place with as much light as possible. The majority of animals fear fire there.

“Mr. Quilière! I just saw you used freezing magic. Are you a wizard?”

Anasha exclaimed urgently.

She stuck by my side at some point.

“…Yes.”

“It’s fortunate. One combat manpower is invaluable…! Please assist me!”

She asked for support.

Confidence was evident in his dignified attitude, so I followed him without saying a word.

Anasha was also a skilled wizard.

Her chanting speed and magical power were outstanding, and her magic control was incomparable to mine.

She was most active on the battlefield. I assisted by keeping pace with her cold breath.

Shuk-! The wind cut the snake’s throat again.

She said, aiming the wand in front of her.

“It must be the work of the snake god, right?”

“Perhaps.”

“Maybe they sent a chase the moment they left the city. What a scary god.”

Indeed it was.

He hunted various gods while playing games, but the viciousness of the snake god who dominated Euristia was unrivaled.

I was suspicious that something was wrong.

To send such a retinue just because you managed to get out of the city. After all, there are many people left in the city anyway.

It seemed as if he had a will to get rid of it at all costs.

“Mrs. Anasha! There are too many… Ugh!”

Although the number of people who chose to emigrate was not small, the number of snakes was on a different level. No matter how hard they tried to prevent it, victims continued to appear.

A shade was also cast on Anasha’s complexion.

The baby black snake was never strong.

Its defensive power was poor, and its dental power was not lethal. He didn’t even have poison, so the only way to kill enemies was to bite them constantly.

However… It was a different story if they formed a colony.

The weakness of low lethality immediately turned into fear and grief when the Legion was the opponent.

Even if I wanted to die, I couldn’t die easily. It has to slowly fade away in pain that seems to last forever.

Saaak- Ugh-!

A battlefield full of unpleasant old voices.

Tinnitus rang in his eardrums and his head throbbed.

What comes to mind… One of Snow Woman’s special magic, ‘transformation’.

Wouldn’t it be only me who could run away with that?

“Everyone hold on! Don’t fall down!”

A gloomy lump seemed to coil itself inside.

In the first place, I’m not supposed to be in a world like this, in a dangerous place like this.

They were taken by force and treated like this was too much.

For over a year, I have lived in that lonely land, buried in boredom and boredom.

It’s natural to want to enjoy a little entertainment. So I came out to the continent at most, and it was like this right away.

Then what are you talking about me?

Does this mean that I will spend my whole life in that pure white paradise? No… Is there such a thing as a natural death for Snowyeo in the first place?

The Quilière I created is supposed to be neither a living being nor a mental body.

The surrounding area was also hell.

The people besieged by the vicious black snake were slowly dying.

There were scratches and blood flowed. It grew. Soon, wounds would cover his entire body.

“God…”

It was the work of the snake god.

The person who dropped me into this world must be a god or something. It was hateful.

How great beings are that they ruin other people’s lives at will.

And why, is it driving me to a worrisome moral crossroads? Those who live must live.

That’s right. However, I have already learned the face of these people. I remembered the voice.

It was clear that everyone would change their names at this rate. If I lead a miserable life alone, will I be able to forget this moment today?

Wouldn’t it remain in my mind for the rest of my life and confine me?

I didn’t like that.

Some might call me stupid, but I wasn’t a very strong person.

He was an extremely ordinary, petit bourgeois.

“Mr. Quilière?”

My eyes went into strength. I was crying.

When the support stopped, Anasha turned to me.

My eyes were more ferocious than ever.

“Disgusting.”

“Yes?”

“God.”

Seeing how she looked at me, she looked at me stunned. I looked around the battlefield.

The placenta is made up of ordinary citizens. I thought Anasha and I would be the only usable combatants, but it wasn’t.

There was one more.

A calm woman with short purple hair. Her name was Sigilah, and she tied her dagger to a branch she would use as a poker and was using it as her spear.

Even in a serious situation, she remained calm.

She cut the snake in two with a neat swing. As many as there are, she cuts several at once, as if she would throw away even a second of mistakes.

Those skills and mindset.

It was absolutely not the skill of an ordinary person. Was she just as talented as me?

I was curious about his true identity, but the stronger the ally, the better.

Suddenly, a small laugh came out.

It won’t show on the outside, but that doesn’t matter anyway.

“Hey, you…”

Although she was scared, everyone was struggling. Still, I’m thinking of running away alone.

He was a petit bourgeois, helpless.

From noble mtl dot com

Escape with Transfiguration? There was a possibility.

Although not invincible while disguised, it was possible to move outside the snake’s range. But if you ask if you can survive, well.

The Black Sea was far away. I didn’t know how far it would lead. In addition, the transformation technique consumes a lot of mana.

When the mana runs out on the way, only a fall remains. Even if they escaped safely, the snake’s pursuit would continue. Will I be able to get through it with my mana running low?

There was a way that was much safer, more exhilarating, and for everyone to live than such a gambler.

“So stupid…”

I was able to think of it with a little thought.

But still, her head was frozen in confusion.

He is a deceased person who made a name for himself with his wisdom and wit.

A self-deprecating laugh flows out.

It’s been a while since I thought of a way to catch the snake god. I couldn’t find the ‘necessary artifact’, but if the snake god himself wasn’t even there.

For those of his family, the power of one person was enough.

“aaah! Save me!”

At that time, a more desperate scream rang out than before.

It seems that his posture has collapsed. The body of the fallen man was covered with black snakes.

“Oops…! Mr. Quilière! Come on, help…”

A life-threatening situation.

I didn’t want to see someone die in front of my eyes, so I lightly raised my hand.

Magical power erupted from the outstretched hand.

At the same time, it snowed.

Ice crystals and snowflakes danced gently. The dance soon turned into an intense dance.

······As those in the know know, snakes are ectotherms.

And ectothermic animals were very vulnerable to temperature changes. Unlike mammals, there is no system to maintain a constant body temperature, so changes in temperature or water temperature interfere with life activities.

In addition, miscellaneous gods were originally ordinary animals, but were suddenly transformed into monsters that were born when they were touched by divine powers. In this case, an obvious flaw arises.

One of the representative side effects was that the weakness stood out. If I couldn’t attack the knight’s weakness, his overwhelming strength would solve everything… But I was able to do it. Actually, I am the snake’s natural enemy.

So, beyond the weakness, the blind spot盲點

The black waves stopped moving.

“This… What the hell… Mr. Quilière, could it be you…?”

Anasha muttered helplessly,

“… Hey… It’s summer now…?”

Even Sigira lost his composure and his voice trembled.

I laughed because the reactions were funny.

That’s exactly what I expected.

Snow Woman’s great magic, ‘Blizzard’.

One of Snow Woman’s exclusive skills that she created from the beginning just to create atmosphere.

Heavy snow with strong wind swept through the venue.

However, there was a problem.

An expected problem. The huge amount of mana consumed by the blizzard was also a problem, but that wasn’t the case.

I couldn’t even control the ice spear, so there was no way I could control the blizzard.

The mana in his body ran out of control.

Instead of blocking it, I accelerated it further. In order to wipe out all these snakes, I couldn’t save even a drop of mana.

All mana began to be sucked out.

A mana circuit that fluctuates like a truck with a broken steering wheel.

My body became transparent after a long time.

I looked at the hand reflected on the other side and raised my head.

It was a pure white world.

······ Anasha Cheryl stared at the sight in front of her eyes.

She was a magic instructor who worked for the Griffeon duchy. She was not an elite in her own right, but a real elite, and she has been treated as such.

While giving magic lessons, she also built a good friendship with the young only daughter of the Duke of Grypheon.

However, the trouble was that the duke was very fond of his late daughter. Anasha was fired for getting a small scratch on her princess’ hand during her class.

It was really polarizing.

Although the eldest son, who will already succeed the generation, is called the sword master and has a great reputation. What kind of monster is the genius girl planning to turn into?

I lost my job, but there were no problems.

She saved a lot of money, and she longed for Lee Hyang. After that, she wandered all over the continent for a long time, and soon settled in Euristia.

It was a small but nice city.

Until the snake god appeared out of nowhere.

The peace that had been taken for granted for years collapsed overnight. On the first day it arrived, many soldiers who had fought bravely were killed.

She had quite a bit of combat experience, but that’s why she couldn’t stand it any more. She

Because she knew she was unbeatable.

However, humans must use their wisdom.

If she can’t solve it herself, she can borrow someone else’s help. She decided to ask the Empire for help.

So, what she said with her nuance of ‘There’s no hope even if I propose to subdue the snake god’ to Quilière was just a joke. She was determined to get help anyway.

Yes, Quillier.

Her The moment she first saw her, Anasha thought she was blind. Because it was so beautiful

She was a world-class beauty, like a goddess in mythology. If she was halfway there, as the same woman as she was, she would have been jealous, but she went beyond that.

She even looked at her with her envious eyes.

She talked to her with interest.

She was a cold, blunt woman called Quilière. At first glance, she seemed to be hitting a wall.

There seemed to be a story, but Anasha, who was deeply considerate, didn’t ask.

Her cold demeanor was hard to attribute to her personality. Quilière soon became isolated from the group.

Anasha was worried about her and watched her nearby to help her.

···So the current situation was completely unexpected.

The army of black snakes attacked and realized that she was a wizard. She was a rare ice barrier attribute. She

She knew until then that she was one of the superior wizards. I did.

It snowed.

There was a heavy snowstorm.

In the center stood a woman with blue-white hair in a white suit.

Anasha looked at her with her stunned expression.

Suddenly, a scene came to mind.

-You can catch it.

When you joke about the dreaded snake god.

Quilière spoke casually as if talking about his daily life.

I wonder if it was a joke after a joke, but the remark that was long was… Was it sincere without a bit of delusion.

Anasha involuntarily took a step back from her.

The girl who seemed close was too far away. Uncharacteristically for her, she was distracted and couldn’t avoid a single stone.

I just fell over.

Whoa!

The blizzard is still raging fiercely.

Her bonfire had already gone out in the coolness. In a world without light, Anasha slowly raised her head.

There was a thrilling sight in her eyes.

Center of the blizzard.

A woman who stands tall with a feminine expression.

Beyond the white, beyond the transparent skin that should be called the snow fairy.

······Stars fell.
