Chapter 661

Episode 661 Wins Heart (5)

“Buy and save me!”

A boy who had reached a dead end screamed.

The people in black who watched it from afar shook their heads.

“This guy is also wrong.”

“There is no talent.”

Along with their sighs, the boy’s body was torn to pieces by the monsters.

Even in the horrendous situation where blood was spilled and flesh splattered, the black righteous people did not wrinkle their expressions.

On the contrary, the boy who is going through such a situation just let out a small sigh as if he felt sorry for him.

“Does it make sense that there is not a single one among 1,500 people?”

“It can’t be helped. It’s such a tough workout.”

“It’s ridiculous. Training that requires mana to be used without putting mana in the body.”

“Isn’t there a case of success?”

At those words, the man in black turned his head.

“That sound again. You mean that saint?”

“I saw it with my own eyes. There was no such thing as mana in the body. Rather, it felt like dealing with nature itself.”

“Isn’t it possible that he has polished his skills to the point where he won’t be noticed by you?”

“In that case, there should be at least a shake of mana. But he had none of that.”

The experience of seeing the saint in front of my eyes, which I had only heard about through rumors, was truly ecstatic.

It was the first time I knew how magic could be so naturally manifested.

Even when his colleagues were dying, he couldn’t even move his fingertips.

In the end, even while running away from the battlefield, each and every movement of his was pictured in his head as if it were stuck in a plate.

It was the first time that mana flowed so smoothly.

The color of his face changes whenever he hears the story of the saint.

A man in black sitting across from him waved his hand.

“It’s done. Orders are given, so we just follow them. Bring in the completed bodies.”

“yes.”

The guard standing behind him lowered his head and put his hand on the table.

Then, the magic circle reacted and began to open the iron gate where the monster was.

Whoops-!

A group of people came out with a roar so loud that the cavity resounded.

Young people who may not have reached adulthood yet.

The sight of bright red eyes streaming out of his eyes was enough to make the culprit tingle.

When the door opened and they witnessed the monster, they stretched their bodies as if steam was leaking out.

“Are you a monster again?”

“It’s boring, boring.”

“This is also training, so don’t be vigilant. It won’t be strange if you die anytime.”

When the man with dark red hair spoke, everyone nodded as if they were like that.

“Let’s get rid of it quickly and rest.”

“okay. I just want to take a bath.”

Women with long hair tied back put their hands together.

Then, surprisingly, the mana flowing in the air responded to them.

Whoa-!

The monster felt threatened and immediately rushed at it.

“Kwaaaaaa!”

“Shield!”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Ice spear!”

A series of neatly connected strikes hit the monster’s chest directly.

Wow-!

As the frozen monster collapsed with its heart pierced, the second monster rushed in as if waiting.

Then, this time, the swordsmen standing in the front moved.

Twisting the scabbard and cutting the sword at the same time, the head of the monster that was terrifyingly rushing at it fell off.

Whoops-!

Due to the collapse of the monster’s huge body, the cavity vibrated briefly.

The black man admired the way he easily defeated the monsters that were said to grow and feed on demonic energy deep underground.

“Hoo. Quite the way. Wouldn’t that be comparable to the saint you mentioned?”

Even though he didn’t have mana in his body, he definitely used mana to kill the monster.

However, despite watching the battle, the short man in black only shook his head.

“Slow. too slow too slow You won’t be able to last ten seconds if you attack the saint like that.”

I’m tired of saying things like ‘not enough’ and ‘slow’ for over a year.

“No, how strong is that bastard’s holy spirit, so that this is not enough? Even if only one rider of those guys gathers, it’s enough to destroy a small country’s wizards.”

Looking at a colleague knocking on his chest as if he was frustrated.

The black man said without taking his eyes off.

“Even a mage who lived over three hundred years could not match him. You wouldn’t say that you forgot the remnants of Proxia in the past, right?”

Proxia.

The best single organization of all time that almost unified the southern continent.

The fact that such a group was single-handedly destroyed by a saint was a well-known fact even in the Dark Room.

“Keuk… The saint now is not the same as before. Hasn’t your strength diminished since the Demonic View occurred?”

“well. Only the saints know what the truth is. Could it have been weaker… or stronger…

”

“It’s not for us to decide. Everything depends on his direction.”

At that, he shut his mouth.

“That’s right.”

“We just do as we are told to, raising usable guys here. That’s all.”

“…”

The black man looked at the young men who were killing monsters in the distance.

From his point of view, their power seemed to be enough to occupy a small and medium-sized kingdom, but since a black man who had a history of meeting a saint in the past opposed it with all his might, he could not move separately.

‘I’m too old-fashioned.’

No matter how much he is a saint with the modifier of being the strongest of all time, he is still a human being.

At night, he sleeps, and when his mana runs out, he is bound to get tired.

It was incomprehensible to him that the plan could not proceed because of only one person.

* * *

In chess, the old branch chief cut off all material support for the Celia kingdom as promised.

The relief goods that had been provided to the people were cut off overnight, and the half-man group was very upset.

Even the seldom-visited branch was on the verge of becoming crowded.

Voices rose here and there in the scenery that had been lined up since morning.

“Suddenly stopping the supply of relief supplies!”

“How are we supposed to live! Please save me!”

“The child is starving! Let me get some grain!”

It was embarrassing even for the guards who kept their seats on the barrel weeping and hanging on to.

The old man who watched this through the window let out a deep sigh.

How can you feel comfortable watching the tear-stained face clinging to the guards?

Ray, who had been visiting every morning, wasn’t coming today, so I wasn’t the only one worried.

‘I boasted that it would be resolved, but I wonder if I can believe it…’

Sitting in his office, he only deepened his anxiety.

The next day, the reaction of the kingdom of Celia returned.

At first, I wondered what would happen, but the kingdom of Celia cut taxes and started supplying relief goods as Ray expected.

As a result, the footsteps of the residents who had been flocking to the Celia branch also slowed down.

“Should I like this?”

Obviously, it was the Hafman Company that helped the people, but after the supply of goods was stopped, public sentiment was not the same as before.

Maybe they feel like they gave it away.

The branch manager sat in his office and thought about the future.

* * *

Two days after Celia Kingdom responded.

Ray, who had not been seen for a while, visited the branch after a long time.

“How have you been, old man?”

Was it that heart-thumping that the long-awaited opponent would come?

The old branch manager came running with a light in his eyes.

“Now you are here! What are you planning to do!”

“I have to wait.”

“Wait! what!”

“The royal family of Celia has moved. You seem to be coping with it comfortably right now, but eventually it won’t last long. It looks like a big game will open soon, so prepare for negotiations.”

plate open?

Negotiation?

The old man was confused when he said something he didn’t understand.

It’s too embarrassing not to follow him because the words he’s been saying have come back to reality.

“More than that, why is the branch so empty? There is almost no security…”

The surroundings were so empty that it was absurd to call it a branch of the high-ranking Hafman.

It was a strange thing for Ray, who considered that the only virtue of the guild was that people were crowding in front of the entrance and pouring in money.

Did the cessation of support have a stronger ripple effect than expected?

Now, there are not many merchants who come to do business.

“It has to be. What do the impoverished people have to come to trade? In addition, thanks to the departure from the capital, our position has now decreased. This means that it can also be disadvantageous in future transactions with Sanghoe.”

“I am It’s like people who don’t even know grace.”

In the first place, it was the half-man corps that helped the people even though it was in a cold war with the Kingdom of Silia.

Considering that support has been suspended for a while, isn’t it too much to turn our backs right away?

“I can’t help it. Anyway, a greeting from the royal family will come sooner or later, so I guess we can reach an agreement then.”

“You are making a statement. It’s true that you’ve been right so far, but what are you going to do if you’re wrong?”

Ray replied as if he didn’t even have to think about it.

“At that time, you would think that King Celia had become senile.”

It’s an arrogant answer that leaves you speechless.

The old man, who worked coldly until Binggeum, was now dumbfounded with his mouth open.

It’s not about being yourself.

The madman in front of me was full of confidence as if he had come to see the future.

“Heh heh. Sooner or later Celia will be able to roll as she pleases.”

If I’m not even King Celia, I’m talking like I already have the country in my hands.

“If you’re so confident, the day will come when you’ll regret it.”

“I hear that a lot.”

“Are you really going to just wait quietly? Celia has many allies. It means that there are many places to turn to for help, even if it is not necessarily the main guild.”

Those allies are already obsessed with Ray’s handmade magic tools.

Like a dog waiting for its owner’s command, it’s waiting faithfully, so just say a few words and it will be resolved.

Ray, who was playing one or two moves ahead of King Celia, was still at peace.

“Then let’s rest a little while I’m away.”

The more I see Taesangdanju, who is praised for having extraordinary hair, the more I think of him as lazy.

The old man shook his head.

“What on earth did Danju see in a bastard like this and entrust him to Taesang Danju?”

Lamenting that the earth would disappear, he did not yet know what would happen in just a few hours.
