The wise man returns

“No, it's just... I lost my footing in the dark. ”

“Humans, after all. Take my hand. ”

He reaches out, expressing his pathetic face. It was in the dark, but the outline was recognizable.

Chuck.

I feel something damp as I hold my hand. It was like water, but slightly thicker and stickier.

“What the hell.”

Balin casts Light Magic in shock. It was only a matter of time before one class of common magic was cast.

Huaiac

A narrow hallway of light reveals the image of Balin and the vampire within her family.

Balin, who saw the vivid red on her hands, hurriedly steps away from her family.

The identity of the liquid was nothing more than blood, sticky blood that had just been released from within the body.

“Oh my!! ”

“I knew it...! ”

Balin narrows her eyes as she looks at the fiercely claustrophobic vampire.

The feeling I just had was not a delusion. Something went by and cut the body in that bundle together.

“Yi, this! What the hell!!! ”

A vampire with a split upper and lower body from the waist makes the terminals moan.

At the same time, the effects of the screening began to appear elsewhere.

Knng! Knng!

Balin quickly wrote a method of livestock.

Surprisingly, the previous blow was taking out the entire fortress.

Slash castles like mountains. It is impossible with human strength.

The Sword Masters? They may be strong, but they are bound by human laws as well.

As soon as Balin makes a sudden move, the spacing sweeps through the fortress.

Shhh!

Even though the Duke's nature was firm, it was hard to survive a second strike.

While the entire castle was shaken as if it were an earthquake, Balin hurriedly escaped outside through the methods of livestock.

“Kieeek!! ”

“Kuaaaa!! ”

Behind my back, I heard the Ghouls' terminal.

However, it was impossible for ghouls to escape a collapse of this magnitude on their own strength.

Balin, who was using the method of livestock, suddenly remembered when he fled to the ground to avoid the emperor.

The location and structure were different, but the situation was remarkably similar to that time.

“This reminds me of old times. ”

I felt once more terrified behind Balin's relaxed back.

There was one other thing. This powerful sword that comes crashing down like it's gonna destroy everything!

“Suck!”

He tried not to use magic, but in the end, Balin had to use a blink.

That was a terrifying strike.

Barely out, Balin wipes his sweat and looks back.

After several times the slaughtered fortress had collapsed, countless shadows were rushing towards the man.

Hundreds of them, at best. But Valine wanted to weigh in on one victory.

One man standing behind the moonlight, I can assure you, knew his situation.

There was no one here who could beat that man, Andropos, one-on-one.

Andropos is here...?! Why are you here? ’

Balin stares at Andropos, who is illuminated by the moon with embarrassing eyes.

Suddenly, a soft voice spread from the sky.

“This is a warning. ”

The source of the voice was Andropos, who had just wielded his sword.

Immediately after touching his voice, a number of drinkers rushed to the ground like broken dried fish.

It sounds like a scream in your mouth.

“Warning, warning! ”

Someone raised their voice among the fallen fanatics.

Andropos looks at him and opens his mouth.

“You know, one of you sent a spirit. ”

“Spirit...? ”

“What are you... talking about! ”

Beyond the rumbling crowd, Balin felt his face hardened without me knowing it.

Andropos, warnings, and spirits.

When I combined these three keywords, there was only one thing that came to mind.

"Andropos is here because of the spirit I gave to Palias!!" ’

It was ridiculous, but it was true.

In the meantime, Andropos continues to speak.

“I'd like to kill all of you right now if I could, but I won't, because I have something important to do. But if you try to play tricks on me again...! ”

He takes a deep breath and swings his sword again.

Squeak!!

The fortress, which was in a strange shape because it collapsed, became a cavern once more.

Vampires and human dietitians were overwhelmed in front of a powerful force.

“There is no next time. It's good to know. ”

Andropos disappears in no time.

The vision fades away as if it were walking without feeling like it's moving somewhere.

“... ”

While everyone was silent, Balin quickly looked around.

Consumers, as well as vampires in the castle, are focusing on where Andropos used to be.

It was a good moment to escape. Before I could finish thinking, my body was already using the method of livestock.

Shhh. Shhh!

In an instant, Balin crosses the duc's wall, and even after that, she can only rest in peace for a long time.

“Ha, ha. ”

Whether the day had already gradually brightened, the night sky was dark blue, not black.

A boy sighing in the streets of a slowly waking imperial city.

It was one of the typical morning sights, so no one looked at it.

It was a very fortunate thing for Balin.

“By the way, the investigation on the first day was a success. ”

As I looked in my pocket, I felt the cold feel of the glass bottle.

When the bottle was taken out and shined in the light, red blood was shining like a jewel on the glass.

I felt better without knowing that this blood is more precious than jewelry.

"I'll just leave the right amount and send the rest to Elias." Never forget to tell them to avoid direct contact, just in case. ’

Balin takes the bottle and heads back, thinking about Andropos.

What I just saw was clearly Andropos, a fortress slaughtered without hesitation, not that he was working with the vampires.

‘It's because of a spirit that I gave to Palias. If I had stuck to the Demon Lord, I would have done it. ’

Balin smiles in relief.

The Grand Master rises beyond the walls of man, to the heights of transcendence, but still as bitter as it seems.

* * *

“What did you do yesterday? I've never seen a ball like this before. ”

Leven shakes his head as he watches the game next to him.

Knowing that it was meant for him, Valine's head did not stop, but turned down.

I didn't feel it when I was moving all last night, but the fatigue that was piled up took over my whole body as soon as it was sunny.

“Nothing... nothing...”

“No, it's nothing. You told me what you were doing. ”

Leven gives you a light pinglass and raises Valine's head forward.

As she was told this morning by Balin, she was waking him up never to fall asleep.

“You said you had a must-see game today. I need to see more than just that. ”

“I... did. Right. Something to see. Hmm. ”

Barely opened his eyes to the feeling of standing next to his head, Lucilla from the Emerald Tower was gripped by a middle-aged swordsman.

“Yikes, profits! ”

“Hmph!”

With a short sigh, the middle-aged swordsman swings with all his might, slightly bent.

Dent! Dent!

A blade that appears to be between the broken sticks, a drop of blood drops gently down that day.

“Hee, hee...! ”

Lucilla whips her ass back with tears. From that point on, the moderator declared victory for the middle-aged swordsman.

“Yes! This round is a new triumph of swordsman Parus from the north of the Empire at the end of the throne! Miss Lucilla of the Emerald Tower was impressive, but it looks like Parras' fresh sword is half a step ahead of her after a lifetime of polishing! ”

“Whoa!! ”

As you hear the crowd cheer, you gaze at the broken staff of Lucilla, who was defeated.

Unfortunately, this time, the beauty I was boasting about didn't seem to work. Next to Balin, smiling, Leven raises his head.

“Wasn't this game fun? A sword to the body of an opponent who moves honestly with just one technique as fancy magic spills out. I think Layan would be happy to show kindness to someone like that. ”

“Did the previous match just...? I'm tired, so I didn't notice anything. ”

Balin, who rubs her bloodshot eyes, yawns.

It might be fun at the eyes of the laypeople, but the Balin I was watching couldn't give a good review even in empty words.

Lucilla's magic was too harsh for Balin, and the prosecutor's fresh sword against her was unbelievably weak compared to Arnach and Sonya's.

“Why don't you get some sleep? ”

“I told you. I have an important game today. ”

This is not what Balin said was important, but what the Duke of Rudens said.

It was the second time that Silon, one of the main characters, appeared.

Since the first match ended equally, it was important data to assess the performance of the silon in the contest.

Balin opened her eyes while she was tired because she couldn't miss that round.

“An important match… as in Duke Rudens and Claude? ”

“That's right. Claude wouldn't be too good at hiding. If all your skills in the first round are gone, you'll be gone. ”

“I suppose it is. ”

Leven nods.

Taking out the hidden skills of Three Halls can eventually lead to it.

If it wasn't, there wouldn't have been any positive examples of the word rival.

In that sense, Claude was a pretty good reader.

The magical skill that could hold one tower was worthy of it.

“I mean, you have to take care of the game...”

Again, as Valine's voice weakens, Leben gently pinches her side.

At that moment, Balin, who had a starry star, stood up in a daze of anger.

“Ugh!! ”

“Are you awake now? ”

Valine shakes her head a couple of times, sighing.

“... I don't think so. ”

I felt like I would really doze off if I could hold on any longer.

I was so overwhelmed with yesterday's blood.

Leven, who had heard what happened and what he had gained, understood it well enough.

“By the way, is that true? ”

“Yes, I told you all about it this morning. That's what happened. ”

“Then the Duke of Abel who hid it is truly remarkable. I can't believe the castle collapses in real time and there's no rumor of it. It won't be possible without a miracle from Laian. ”

“It's not a miracle. It's magic. Take care... of people. ”

Balin's voice, answering with a shivering expression, fades again.

Even though I tried hard to manage Mana and wake up, I couldn't help but feel this fatigue.

“Ha.”

After sighing in distress, Balin finally asked Reuben for a favor.

“Hey, Leven. ”

“Yes?”

“Can you do me a favor? ”

“... I think I know what it is. Wake me up when it's your turn, right? ”

Even if it wasn't Leven, everyone could have anticipated that.

Balin nods and covers his mouth with his hands.

The body that touched my backrest was somewhat heavy.

Thank you for reading. I thought I could post it on time today, but as soon as I saw Denma today, the Korean document was not saved and turned off due to an unknown error...

Thanks to that, I was in a state of emergency because I blew up one side.

Now that you're almost done, we hope to have this ready by 1: 00.

Thank you for reading this episode.
