The wise man returns

Semi-finals

Elia's eyes widen in Balin's reply. She shouts, her face pressed against her wrist.

“Y-you can't do that! Master! Even if the Diamond Tower says so...! ”

“Elijah, have you ever done the damage I asked you to do? ”

Balin laughs with her teeth bared.

We both knew the answer to that.

“... nothing. But…”

“And you can say, I'm going to fight naked, except for the golems, because they won't be face-to-face with me if I lose perfectly. ”

Golems have played a big role in giving Balin the title Golem Meiji.

Taking it off was practically the same as a prosecutor leaving without a sword.

“No! Teacher, you'll lose! ”

“The man who contacted you will think the same of you. Wouldn't you?”

Elijah frowns at Balin's question.

That's what anyone would think.

In front of the most powerful wizard in the world, he goes up without his main weapon.

Balin uses a sword, but he's always been a wizard.

And that opponent is one of the most powerful human wizards alive. The defeat was already fixed.

“Of course. You've only been fighting as a golem...”

“I'm going for it. ”

“... ”

Elijah shuts up as she tries to say more.

It would mean believing in a teacher.

After sending a signal to take off the bracelet for a moment, the artifact's screen immediately turned into a dull plane.

While waiting, Valine remembers the executive wizards of the Diamond Tower.

Most of the information in the memory was common, but we were able to get a rough estimate.

‘It's not Penzance, but I need you to take care of the comms... The Demon Prince has no reason to do this. I've looked around the North Tra Empire once... and if I'm not mistaken... the answer is the Wizards of the Diamond Tower. ’

You may laugh at their fierce craftsmanship, but you would never be able to do that if you knew their level.

Old age of Cleaden, class six master, now. You have reached the entrance of class 7 by borrowing the power of the Horses.

This was not only the Silk Ruby Tower, but the other horses as well.

Even if it is a horse tower representing one kingdom, there is only one rider or none of class 7.

A seven-class wizard! Two sets of six-class wizards below. This was the average of the typical high power tower. But the Diamond Tower was different.

There are five known seven-class wizards that are hidden in the name of Penzance.

People who can make a steeple of their own, even if they move alone right now.

It was possible for them to do this kind of work independently.

‘Even so... not one or two. Perhaps all the High Wizards have the same meaning. There won't be one or two behind the scenes behind the wheel. ’

The profit that Penzance's notoriety brought to the Diamond Tower is truly enormous.

The title of the Wizard Who Exists! That alone would have benefited tremendously.

But through this competition, it was shaking from the roots.

The clod tower owner of Sapphire Tower has grown to class 8, and even levens have evolved and been punched in a row.

If Balin wins here, Penzance will be completely demoralized.

As the Holy See grows stronger, the Diamond Tower might collapse in an instant.

‘Considering this, you must be pretty desperate.

I'm sure they will if they get that close to Elia.

As soon as I thought about it, the artifact signaled.

“Yes. Do your best without the golems." ”

“Well done, Elia. ”

Finished speaking, Balin smiles bloody.

The elder of the Diamond Tower is a man of extreme prudence.

They couldn't accept this offer immediately.

Elijah must have convinced them of something in the process. Balin smiled and praised me for his great emotions.

“... hee. ”

Elijah lowers his head, smiling at the basil. She raises her head for a moment.

“Oh my! That blood you sent me the other day, well done! I'm writing a little bit like you said, but we're not making any progress yet. ”

After that, they talked about my homework, achievements, and the schedule after the competition.

The story grew that long because there was a lot of silence.

until the moon rises in the middle of the sky.

In the meantime, Elijah never sleeps.

Given that I was working on the tower all day, I was overwhelmed with stamina.

“Valine, we need to get out of here. ”

“Thank you.”

Valine wakes up from her thoughts as she hears voices coming from the door.

There were a couple of servants waiting to see how long it had been.

Balin looks at their faces as she approaches.

The eyes of the servants glared brightly at the beginning of the semi-finals.

‘Well, this is exciting. ’

I couldn't help but feel nervous when I tried to stay unconscious.

I looked down the hallway a little and saw the whole stadium at a glance.

The first thing you notice is that it's much smaller than before, but the inside is a tougher training ground.

It was incredibly sophisticated to believe that every single stone tablet was completely restored in ten days.

It's not the only thing that's changed. The number of wizards standing around has increased dramatically.

Thanks to this, the shield was even harder than before.

It is possible because the magic jewels were smashed and rebuilt.

It's a good thing. ’

Balin smiles bitterly, recalling the previous shield that had been torn to pieces without pity.

The effort was substantial, but all I could say was that the opponent was too bad.

The gazed balline stopped in one place, surrounding the audience.

Big social aristocrats were surrounded by Evelyn, just by her name.

Hmm?

Of course, it might interest you, but it also says that the expectations for Balin have risen.

Balin looks at the wizards holding the shield.

If the medium-sized wizards had retained their existing shields, this time they were all old men with gray hair.

The look on Balin's face was stiff as she felt Mana flowing from them.

"These are the Senate of Diamond Tower! Otherwise, Mana wouldn't be this rich! ’

The slave wizards look up to see if they've noticed.

Though he was careless, Valine was able to read their messages from within.

‘I won't use golems like you said. ’

Balin pretends to be furious, fixing his face on purpose. One of the labyrinth's jaws rises slightly to make sure the signs are working.

In the meantime, Penzance comes up from across the street and says,

“I never thought I'd see you here, to be honest. Truly great high.”

“I was lucky. ”

Balin lowers her head lightly. At the same time, his eyes search Penzance's body once.

What I could see was a huge amount of artifacts. A glimpse of Tea, whose diamond towers have been reluctantly mobilized.

Balin gave up after counting them one by one. This was almost as much as the Marquis of Shuriman.

“Are you watching? I've prepared quite a bit for your golem. ”

“It seems so. ”

From where I see it, it was a terrifying weapon, but Valine thought instead of being afraid, so was I.

According to a guess made three days ago, Penzance certainly knew nothing.

If I had known, I couldn't have revealed all the artifacts in that amount.

“Surprised? Of course. The artifact is the hidden power of the Tower. ”

“No… but I'm glad for you. I didn't think the Lord of the North would appreciate me that much. ”

Balin soon lifts his gaze.

Fortunately, this was not wrong. Of course, the reason was different.

When Penzance hears the answer, he gives you a hollow smile.

“Okay, then let's get ready. I'll wait for the summoning to finish. ”

“It's okay. You can start right away. ”

“No one will blame me for my humility. Bring it to me.”

A conversation in which a caring mind feels strongly about the target.

But this time it came as a burden instead of an audit.

Balin sighed lightly.

Beating this person in many ways did not feel good.

‘But I can't do it. ’

As you draw the sword instead of the answer, you hear Penzance's face stiffen.

I really realized that Balin would fight without calling the golems.

“... that's fine, but know this. Young wizard, this is the battlefield of the Caesar's War, and I will not spare your life. ”

“I hope so. ”

Balin smiles nervously.

I have fought many swords in this life, but I have never fought a wizard before.

And that opponent is Penzance, now known as the greatest wizard of all time!

From the Diamond Tower to the Artifacts, they should be much more powerful now that they're fully equipped.

‘Fight with power. With all my strength except for the no-man 's-land! ’

No YoungChang is a hidden method used to defeat the Horsemen.

A high-level magic that bursts immediately without casting could also hurt the Trident rank horsemen.

It was foolish to disclose it here, and Valine had other abilities similar to that.

‘This time, I'll owe you a new casting style created by Bendine Bridget. ’

Balin takes a deep breath to get into position. The heart fluttered as it was ready to exert its full power.

“Well, then, both sides! Lord Valine, the Penzance Tower! Let the… tournament begin!! ”

“The Summoning Lightning Orb! ”

At the next moment, the voice of the old man, full of strength, echoes.

Penzance immediately spoke the starter language of the artifact.

Whee!!

Lightning sphere in the air! More than ten of them were stages of murder that fired a concussion at the will of its owner.

“Oops!”

Balin, who was casting magic, hurriedly flew away from the lightning scattered on the training ground.

But Penzance's attack did not end there.

“Ironfist Genesis! ”

The next moment, Penzance recites the starter and raises his hand above the sky.

Balin's pupils shake sharply, knowing what magic is.

I would have regretted it in so many ways if I'd given up the golem...! ’

Balin smiles, looking at the shade overhead.

It was a huge steel spear that cast its shadow.

Rather than a spear, the siege must have been made for the golem.

‘Maybe he was trying to plug it in and do something more. It doesn't matter to me! ’

I tried casting for a long time, but it seemed to be slower than before.

Lots of magic made using artifacts disturbed casting, making it even more challenging.

If I had trusted the golem in the middle, I could have been beaten.

I did not think that the title of the best wizard that exists had been given for nothing.

But Balin came out to win, and he had no intention of surrendering here.

“Ha!”

Penzance casts his magic with a loud wave of his hand, setting the target point.

Prepare for the next attack just in case.

Shhhhh!!

Five bars the size of a fortress were poured out one by one.

In front of a stunning sight, Valine remembered something, focusing on her whole mind.

The next moment, all the steel spears flood into the direction of Balin's training ground.

Bang, bang! Knng! Knng! Pican!

Moaning and screaming leaked out from the audience.

There was no way anyone could have survived that heavy attack.

Penzance thinks so, but instead of stopping, he uses the magic he prepared to kill himself.

“Cover it, ice breath. Frozen Heart!”

“Ah…!! ”

“Oh!”

The mouths of those who heard the magical name were opened.

It was a chance to see the magic of eight-class water in front of my eyes, so it was natural.

Shhh.

The wind blows past the ballpark with a strange sound.

Nothing happened. Instead of gathering cold, the spring breeze was just a little warmer.

“Huh?"

“What the...”

“Did you cancel?”

As people murmured, Penzance glanced down at my hand with a vivid expression.

He must have used magic and vanished like a ghost.

“What the...”

“My magic was finally done. It's a dispeller, a dispeller with no tricks or tricks. ”

“!!!! ”

Everyone's gaze shifted in a single word.

“Ahhh!! ”

“It's Balin! It's the Marquis of Balin! ”

Screams erupt from everyone's mouths, confirming the identity of their voice.

Valine, who climbs up the ledge, raises her sword and points.

A blade made of ether shines brightly on its edge.

Thank you for reading. That's all for today's edition.

Again, thanks to my readers in the review area, I am always energized.

By the way, I think the title "Great Sage" works as the Sword of Two Days itself.

The title Aggro and criticism together, but... it would be a good thing if it was fun.

I sincerely hope you've taken enough of that.

Ahh... I'll have to join soon to gain Leven's shares... I'll try harder.

So, readers, I'm going to step back for tomorrow's performance. Thank you so much for reading!
