98. Regenerating disaster. (2)

Somewhere in Duke Reinhardt’s family.

The knight who repeatedly struck the sword paused for a moment, then hesitated.

“… ….”

“What’s wrong, Dagnes? You haven’t even gotten to half of your usual amount yet?”

Then, a fellow knight asked Dagnes for a word, as if that appearance was strange.

Dagnes, who came to his senses belatedly, answered the question belatedly.

“…… No. I just felt something strange. I have to say that it seems like someone is calling.”

“…… What?”

At that, the fellow knight tilted his head, as if he wanted to hear all the bizarre sounds.

I’d understand if you’d rather be screaming in pain because the training was difficult, but…….

Dagnes is a rare poisonous species among the knights of the White Lion Knights.

He wasn’t the kind of person who would delay training by making noise about floating clouds.

As if he remembered it belatedly, a fellow engineer asked.

“Oh, isn’t that what it is? Because I was eliminated from Prince Cale’s escort article. He pretends not to, but he was shocked.”

“It is not that I was eliminated. He was just someone I didn’t need to protect—”

“That’s the loss of the escort knight.”

“… ….”

Dagnes’ Cale escort knight mission ended after Mutuje was dispatched.

To be exact, Kale ended it.

‘Sir Dagnes, please remain in the family.’

In a way, it was natural.

Dagnes was only an expert-level knight.

Because Cale was someone who easily defeated even the best knights on his own for Dagnes to ‘escort’ him.

It was also ridiculous that the winner of the Mutu Festival was escorted by an expert knight.

‘…… Yes? No, I will follow. Even if it doesn’t help in a powerless way, even at the cost of this one life——’

‘That’s why I’m leaving, you man.’

The Cale in his memory shook his head.

‘What Gyung needs to hone and polish in the future is not experience, but understanding and repetitive practice of the sword. Practice doesn’t help much. If you stay and get a call from the imperial palace, leave often.’

A word referring to Ray, the 4th princess of the Beatus family.

Soon after, Kale shrugged her shoulders and added one more word.

‘Don’t worry, Lord Dagnes. Could something happen?’

They set out on a journey with Cale, the winner of the Mutou Festival, and Lucia, the magician of the 8th Circle.

In addition, there was Lin, the successor of the Eunyue tribe.

A level of power that cannot be created unless there is a problem.

“…… Okay. Nothing will happen.”

Surely so.

After saying that, Dagnes gripped his sword again, feeling more uneasy.

…… May the little lord who will one day serve you come back unscathed.

I think so.

* * *

Speaking of the results, my sword touched Pirone.

The sword of the knight and the sword of the king.

The sword of a stubborn knight who would not give up his will under any circumstances had the power it deserved.

Quad Deuk——!

A single sword that was raised as if soaring into the sky.

Instantly, as if under strong pressure, Pirone’s torn arm flew through the air.

Because that arm was the one that Pirone was holding on to Triumph.

The artifact, Triumph, held in Pirone’s severed arm soared into the air along with the arm.

[…] … Ugh, what kind of ignorance!]

Wheein!

In order to catch it reflexively, Pirone raised the wind.

“Ignorant, this is also skill!”

Quad Deuk!

As he swung his sword once more, the flow of wind swirling around Triumph was neatly cut.

“…… I’ll take it!”

Pot!

And Triumph suddenly disappears in the air without Pirone having time to use any more tricks.

Lucia, who retrieved Triumph with teleport magic, put it into subspace.

That’s it.

“…… After. It’s over.”

Pirone is a prime devil, and her wishes are very annoying…….

I don’t know how to use magic.

Lucia would not be able to retrieve the Triumph that she had already retrieved from her subspace.

“There is nothing I can do now. Surrender or die, why don’t you just choose?”

Remedy.

After saying that, I pointed Knox at Pirone’s neck.

If you surrender Pirone, she will get a lot of things this way.

Why were the demons targeting the Holy Relic and Triumph?

What does catastrophe have to do with it?

It must have been unexpected that she was driven this far, so she took a few steps behind her holding onto her right arm that had been ripped off.

Her arm being cut off is a wound that cannot be ignored even for a demon.

Among demons, there are monsters who regenerate a severed arm in about an hour, and there are even those who regenerate a severed head.

I don’t know if Pirone is a regeneration demon, but what she deals with is obviously wind.

Since it is the archevil of ‘breathing disaster’, it will take a considerable amount of time to regenerate this wound.

And this way you can kill enough with blood before her regeneration.

I don’t know if she’s in her usual state. Because she couldn’t even have the wind hovering around her.

It was the result of using her power excessively to block access.

With that, if you had summoned her calamity, the game would have changed for her…….

Because before that she was able to stop like this.

[Ha, ahahahahaha. Oh, it’s difficult.]

“…… Smile?”

As he pushed Knox threateningly close to her throat, a trickle of her blood gushed out.

[Yes. I lost.]

However, it seems that he doesn’t care about that kind of wound.

She didn’t care at all about what you said in blood.

[If there was only one holy relic, it would have been.]

“…… !”

Mage Frey of the Mage Tower. And the holy relic of ‘stealth’ he had.

Pu-wook!

Hearing that, I belatedly thrust the sword into Pirone’s neck without even having time to check Frey’s location.

As the sword pierced her throat, her body collapsed and the wind spread.

I didn’t kill him. …… There was definitely a sense of the sword stabbing, but there was no sense of being pierced.

It became the ‘wind’ itself, the power of disaster that breathes for a moment.

Soon, the wind blew coldly.

[Offer a burnt offering to the place where your father sleeps.]

I know how to destroy it because it was the method that Piro Ne used to escape in her previous episode.

But the reason she became the wind now is because she is not running away——

[Put on the yoke of a cursed life here and fulfill your will.]

Sass.

With the end of that prayer, the wind stopped.

Not only that, but the noise of the waves and the movement of the blowing wind all stopped.

The lofty sky lowered its head. The all-seeing eye opened the cover and looked over the small boat.

What came to the space at that moment was complete silence.

It was the eyes and the mouth.

It was a terrible lump of flesh.

“…… This.”

I stood still as if I was frozen in place, then chewed and swallowed the retching that soared along with the cursing.

There was no need to deny it. Because everyone here was convinced of the existence of ‘that’.

Catastrophe.

Jjoeok——.

The ‘guy’ that came down from the sky opened his mouth.

That alone covered part of the empty ship’s deck.

“What are you doing…….”

An act whose meaning is difficult to understand.

It took a while for me to remember that the place where he landed was near the ‘place where I last subdued Frey’.

“Keep, Kkeaaa! No, no! No, no, no!”

Because a desperate scream rang out from the inside of that mouth.

It was difficult to understand the voice because it was a scream. It was easy to guess who it was.

“…… Elder Frey.”

I don’t know if he intended to run away, or if it was something else.

It seems that he took advantage of the confusion and stole the holy relic he used to infiltrate the ship.

That’s…… Rather, it would have been the worst choice in terms of attracting the attention of disaster.

Screams for help were heard one after another from within the cover, but there was no way to save him.

That’s it. If that guy I’m looking at is the ‘that’ disaster I know.

It’s impossible to even injure him with my current sword.

Kidduck!

From noble mtl dot com

Soon there was a terrifying sound, like something being mashed and swallowed, followed by a loud scream.

And the eyes of “It” Turned this way.

With that alone, a terrifying feeling of foreboding climbing through the skin warns and instinct calls out for death.

What is right in front of my eyes is a disaster.

That, too, was completely resurrected, a disaster.

Human. Among them, it seems to be looking at me, but the disaster hastily turned its head.

“…… Uh? The Kraken runs away!”

Someone shouting like that. It was only then that I noticed that the Kraken that had wrapped around the ship was moving.

I wonder if the Kraken that was coiling around the ship also sensed signs of disaster.

The Kraken, forgetting to even put an end to it, retracts its tentacles and quickly starts moving away from the ship.

Soon after seeing it, the calamity slipped off the boat and fell into the sea.

Plop!

“What the hell is that…… Are you trying to chase after the escaped Kraken?”

“Probably right. And, it won’t take too long.”

The size of the disaster was by no means comparable to the Kraken.

To calamity, size is of no use whatsoever.

How much more so, even if the Kraken escaped, it would be possible to escape from the clutches of disaster.

“Then, now that he is off the boat on his own feet, we have to keep our distance…” ….”

“…… No. It doesn’t make any sense. Disasters, once captured, follow the creature to the end, no matter how far away it is.”

Lucia, with a wrinkled expression, approached and said so.

It was an indifferent tone. Raneia, who understood that, made a surprised expression.

“…… A disaster? Could it be that he just happened?”

“Yes. That’s the worst outcome. Firone, that b*tch seems to have run away……. You have to go beyond the great devil and deal with disaster.”

Muttering that, Lucia stared blankly at me.

With my image in the middle of the two purple eyes. As if having made up her mind, Lucia opened her mouth again.

“Kale. When disaster strikes again, don’t step out.”

“…… What?”

I wondered if I had heard it wrong, so I asked back and frowned.

Lucia laughed at her, snapped her fingers, then clenched her fists.

She then said in a confident voice.

“…… Yep, it’s rather good As of now, there is still room to send a calamity to the goal.”

* * *

“Ah, that one is dead.”

The top floor of the Magic Tower.

The owner of the Mage Tower, the so-called official ‘World’s Strongest Wizard’, sat there, looking at the dead crystal ball and laughing.

The holy relic of the ‘God of Stealth’ that Elder Frey stole without permission.

The artifact that had been secretly attached to the relic and relayed the surrounding situation in real time through video was now broken.

Perhaps what it says is that it was ‘swallowed up by disaster’.

It was designed so that it wouldn’t be broken in the slightest unless it was demonic.

When I told him that according to the prophecy, disasters would be resurrected, the elder pondered a little and asked if it was necessary to stop it after thinking about it.

If you ask if he is a good man or a bad man, he is definitely not a good man.

In the first place, most wizards of the Mage Tower were like that.

Just making rational choices based on profit and gain. Because that’s the magician family.

Just.

‘…… Top lord. Really, do you intend to take no action when the plague resurfaces?’

He was evil, but unfortunately he could not completely abandon his conscience.

In fact, everyone will make the same judgment with the object of ‘disaster’ in front of them.

Disasters are beings that have taken countless lives and human lives over a thousand years.

When a disaster strikes, at least thousands die.

Even the most recent catastrophe, which appeared decades ago, was barely able to kill after killing hundreds of thousands of humans.

Disaster was like that.

A monster that can’t be stopped even if you prepare too much, and the country will collapse if you look at it lightly.

“I guess you didn’t understand. You said that you would release such a disaster without even a leash.”

Maybe his background was the reason.

Elder Frey belongs to the Mage Tower.

After losing his parents, he was a wizard who developed his talent and was raised in the Mage Tower.

He lost both his parents in a disaster decades ago.

Needless to say more. He lost his parents by ‘catastrophe’.

Then, was that the reason why the petty sense of justice that we had to prevent a disaster was aroused?

Was it a sense of justice? Or was it a sense of debt? Or, was it revenge for the disaster?

It is regrettable that the result has happened.

“You were stupid.”

How ironic this is.

He informed him that the disaster would resurface.

He heard the prophecy that the disaster would resurface, so Frey moved to prevent it.

…… And because of that, the disaster finally descended.

How can I say that this is not ironic?

Single.

After drinking the tea on the desk, the Master of the Magic Tower silently meditated.

What is certain is that with his death, a wizard named ‘Lucia’ will be buried forever.

It was an ugly death. Its value is so high that it cannot be disparaged.

“Please, I hope your death has a glorious value. Frey Wizard.”
