Egret

Chapter 21. Commitments

“Wrong, neither the former nor the latter. ”

“Huh?”

In the first place, the colleagues he brought were not a burden.

Judas was not involved in this fight because he was confident that he would keep his knights safe, whether he was injured or not.

He stares at his enemy, his old colleague, unshakeably.

“The first reason is that you don't have to hide yourself from them. ”

Frid feels trembling in the atmosphere and builds arsenic.

All the energies that make up nature slowly began to oppose him. Even the air that just touched my skin was cold and tingling.

“The second is because you don't have to hide them from me. ”

A dark veil that protects the commander protects against the forces of nature that squeeze his breath, causing Azirang to rise.

“The last three reasons are: ”

“Hmm?”

“to leave the back. ”

Trust.

It was a vivid color that I never found in purple pupils of my past life.

Frid sits on the floor and looks at the trust in the clear gold of his old colleague.

Then he muttered coldly with his chin bent.

“This is great faith. Jealous of me. ”

Slurp!

As if surrounded by enemies sitting defenseless, the knights pull out their weapons in unison.

Even a sharp sword flashes to blow his throat right away, and under the wizards' feet, the wizard waits and growls. Despite the harsh atmosphere, Frid laughs low without losing his time.

“You're here to kill me, aren't you? ”

Like, "Would you like a beer? 'It was a concise tone, as I asked.

“Then definitely kill him. ”

Whoops!

The green wind rushes around and shakes hard as if it were going to tear him apart right away.

Judas sighs with a blade of wind in his hand.

“…… why do you always do it. ”

‘Are you always trying to test me this way? ’

He did not know that Frid had been testing himself for a long time. Since becoming an adult, the child has been subtly twisted.

The beginning was a very minor rebellion. Like a baby bird following a mother bird, the child who was only following Greg's back was not stuck in the room for the first time. The boy's rebellion during puberty stopped until he had eaten or walked outside late.

However, no matter how rebellious he was, he did not hear the answer he wanted from the target.

At that time, Igrett did not punish children for staggering or crooked deviations. It was compassionate in others' eyes, but it felt like Frid was hitting the wall and letting go. Even though he dared to do something as bad as avenge the betrayal he felt, he never grumbled.

I'm not angry even if I make a mistake. The fact of the matter has brought some shock to the children, which is hard to describe.

Then one day Fried almost killed a man.

On the day the incident erupted, Igrett appeared on the scene, drowning in accidents and bringing back handheld children.

I was still not angry, but after that, I stepped up and stopped him.

‘It doesn't matter what I do. You didn't want anyone else to get hurt? ’

Fried then did more and more things. In a way, he seemed to have tested his patience.

“Do you have any hesitation? In the meantime, I believe this country is still on its way to exile. ”

He still sits defenseless and puts an end to his death.

Seeing the incomprehensible behavior, Edan, who was pointing his sword without a word, quickly looked around.

‘Something's wrong. ’

You can't go to a disadvantage without a plan. I didn't see a single command around him. There was no sign of a special spell or handiwork, but I kept watching.

“You'd better hurry. Want me to tell you something?”

While Edan double-checked the situation, Frid stood up with his clothes tucked away.

“I'm not the only guest who went to the Royal Palace of the Thaw. ”

“ ……? ”

“I sent Halder with me. You must be Azura by now. I can't wait to see which side of the neck fell off. ”

A fiery flame burst through the floor of the furnace before the horse fell.

The hot flame instantly burns the black tent surrounding Fried.

Kwajik!

With a terrifying sound of flesh piercing through his shoulders and thighs, a sharp spear pierced him.

It was a hard metal spear made by the Spirit of the Earth.

Fried tied his limbs like a prisoner being punished.

“Now that you've stopped breathing, you'll just move to another body. ”

Judas sincerely came to kill him. I didn't just come to punish or stop. Tie limbs and exhaust all extra HP.

If I made him use his strength so hard that he could not resurrect again, then the tough life would have ended there if he had certainly blown his breath at the last moment.

It was torture and other ill-treatment to dry up alive. Frid, stretching out through his shoulders and legs like a gathered insect, suddenly burst into laughter.

“Did you think I'd come against you unprepared? ”

Gwuwuwu

Everywhere I heard a strange sound like a man crying.

Judas looks down at the land he was stepping on. I slightly moved my foot aside and saw a black line that was being trampled.

The line was not one, but several pieces, completing a huge painting.

‘Sickness.’

Sickness, called the Devil's Star, revealed its existence in a gloomy light.

The line hidden under the soil gradually rises into the air and starts to whirl.

……!

Looney, who was in a fight with him, stares back at Judas, flawlessly surprised.

Igret!

It was an unanswered urgency that always showed calmness.

The moment Rooney turns around and tries to get back to the contractor, a black shadow follows him over his head.

Booooo!

"Anywhere."

Huge tails hit the loony.

Rooney, who allowed the rest of the panic attack, was not able to avoid it and was properly straightened out. The Black Hyun-mu Herod blocks the front of the blue wolf pushed back against the tail. Two pairs of blackened eyes glow loudly.

It is not polite to hang a strife and subtract it first.

...... You son of a bitch. Reptiles.

Krrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Looney stands up in the dirt and chokes.

“Ah? Commander, Siege is absorbing magic! ”

Moreover, the zealousness that had risen to heaven was a form of commandment, wherever one looked.

Baikal shouts in a panicked voice in a barrel that absorbs magical power while not being a magician. The size of the expanse was enormous enough to cover all the sky they looked up at.

“Do you know who I am? ”

“No, I don't know. Once you absorb magic, it means you're ready to activate something. ”

Baikal grabbed the staff and scratched the ball with the opposite hand.

It was so large that it could not be stopped, and it was difficult to destroy it because it did not know the principle. The star of the demon, which rises up in the sky and spins around, shines loudly.

“Well, let's enjoy our last finale. ”

Frid smiles with his limbs still tied.

The zealousness that was spinning in the ominous light stopped as he responded to his words. I'm tired of the white look on Baikal's face.

“Oh, my God.”

“Why not? ”

“Commander, this..... ”

Bikal, who read the Magical Array of Siege just before the trigger, could not believe it.

Behind the disconnected context, a loud barrack burst out of the crowd after a few "crazy" or "damned" admirations.

“This arrangement is a box! ”

“What?”

Baikal pointed to the land he was standing on as a staff.

The shadows of the earth scattered black light and soared up into the sky like Aurora, engraving its mark on both the earth and heaven.

“So it's a box that leads to an unidentified program! That damn star mark! ”

Everyone's expression was hardened by incomprehensible arguments. A 'box’ is usually referred to as a square-sized magic box with only one palm.

I've never developed a box shaped like a hexagonal star with such a damp black energy.

However, Fried's mouth opened first before everyone even understood the situation.

“Switch on. ”

‘Box’ activated.

First the black waves covered the field of view, and then the appearance of the countryside that was there was washed away. Neither Rooney, who was struggling with the shackles, nor Frid, who was tied to the limbs, left a house and an awkward house, all gone from there.

* * *

Heh, heh!

A cheerful bird tickle awakens the morning.

A slightly energized spring sunlight that rubs in between the fog and the water and colours the warmth. Between the newly grown giraffe leaves and the yellow petals, the wind blows with salamanders.

‘…… The sound of birds? ’

Edan opened his eyes first among the fallen. Then the landscape was filled with spectacular peaceful views.

Green gardens, yellow flower fields, and beautiful rocks running between them.

Edan suddenly loses his judgment and looks around.

“Ugh, my head. ”

“Baikal.”

Fortunately, there was a similar time when the power supply woke up. The knights who had fallen on the moist grass with dew had a stubborn look.

The sky and earth, which had been bitten with black, disappeared and the landscape was as beautiful as paradise.

Finally, Cristina, who was most sober, noticed the familiarity and opened her mouth.

“This is……. Lubarzan Imperial Palace."

“Absolutely. I think so. ”

Edan also agreed with that opinion.

“Well, I think we're in the box now. Is this the space where the Imperial Palace was modeled? ”

Too detailed to call it a box. It is a building in the vast Imperial Palace, and it was finely structured, even with small fauna and flora.

‘This must be real. ’

If it wasn't for my comrades who were in combat together until just now, I wondered if it would have just happened in my dreams.

The number of people who opened their eyes together totalled thirteen, including twelve knights and Cristina.

“Your Majesty?”

“…… invisible. ”

It was not the background that made them embarrassed. Judas was nowhere to be seen.

“I can't even see Fried Giliano. ”

If the power was forced into the box, Fried should have come in with him.

However, I did not see what had happened to the two men.

‘If only.’

Things are getting worse. If Judas and Fried are in the box somewhere, I don't know what will happen.

“Commander. I have one more problem. ”

“ ……? ”

“Well, I have no idea what it's like to leave the box. ”

Normally, you can get the key by defeating the boss monster or destroying the enemy in order to leave the box.

However, since this box is based on the Imperial Palace, killing monsters did not seem to be a condition.

“Besides, I'm not even sure death is an escape condition here. ”

It was the safety device set up by the Empire's Magic Research Team that added the condition to forcibly flee if you die inside the box.

A box is a thing that connects the human spirit, so preparedness for safety is essential.

However, it was still unknown whether the box made by the commander faithfully reproduced the device.

“Honestly, if you're the evil commander, there's nothing odd about it, even if you typed Death into Command. ”

Baikal shrugs.

According to him, they lacked too much information about this box. It was an extreme example, but no one could refute it.

If it was a box of commandos, it would be enough.

It's a concept that came out a long time ago, but 'box' is a computer virtual reality game that often appears in game fantasies. Heh, but the map is like the old Nintendo game (?) that each pack is different...

Oh no, the next one will follow in a moment!
