Chapter 457

don’t come out.

Ayla.

These short words were all I uttered.

– …… Cooung!

harpy.

Aila, who heard its cries, just nodded without saying another word. And Kalian closed the thick door of the training room with all his might that would not collapse no matter what he practiced.

Leave Calian and Harpy outside.

With Aila herself and Plantz inside.

‘Because I won’t come out.’

‘Really.’

‘I won’t do it.’

I couldn’t say anything while looking at it.

Calian had already told him not to come forward countless times, and Plantz stepped forward just like that.

Those actions were generally not correct, so this time I should just wait quietly inside. Calian, who has a light back, will be several times more monstrous than the Harpy, so it’s best to stay safe. By the way, if I had known this would happen, I would have handed over the entire Sinastar.

That’s what I was thinking as I peered through the closed door.

“Worrying so much doesn’t make the prince a better fighter.”

Then I heard Aila’s voice.

Plantz quietly turned his head.

“I’ve never seen you use a sword properly, but I’ve seen you handle a bow to some extent. Still, I’m probably better at shooting a bow and throwing a dagger than you. I can hit a harpy even if it’s high up in the sky.”

“I know. That’s why.”

“Even if I went out with you, it wouldn’t have helped anything, so I only sent the prince away. It’s not because I’m weak, it’s because the harpy is so picky.”

“……Business.”

“Don’t languish, find something to do.”

…… also.

They said it would wither again.

My younger brother’s new subordinate or former fiancé, who has learned and uses that strange bark that doesn’t even sound like a horse. Anyway, when I opened my mouth to rebut that person.

– Bwaaaaah!

– Kaaaang! Kagak!

A sound announcing the start of a fight could be heard through the small window.

A crying sound that seems to take out a person’s soul. And Plantz, who had been frowning at the sound of metal colliding, raised his head.

– Swish!

Then immediately something flew out.

Plantz, who was not at all used to someone throwing an object at him, but caught it anyway, looked down at his hand.

Aila’s voice was heard behind the ceaseless sounds of the fight.

“Take it well. If it explodes, you’ll get hurt.”

An elongated sphere about the length of two fingers.

It was only then that I realized it was a magic bullet.

Shouldn’t you say something like that before receiving it?

Plantz, putting aside his desire to question right away, nodded. Then, after thinking for a moment, he opened his mouth.

“It’s too narrow to explode.”

“It’s not a wide-range magic bullet. It won’t hurt if you throw it from a wide distance.”

Because it’s cheap.

After adding this, Aila took out another identical magic bullet from her bosom. And that was when I was about to press the ignition button on the magic bullet without hesitation.

– Munch!

Fist-sized water droplets clumped together as if they were entangled in the magic bullet in Aela’s hand.

Ayla, seeing an unexpected sight, turned her head to the side. Instead of Aila, Planz looked at the dark red things that were cluttering up under her feet and in front of her eyes.

“It looks like they’re trying to burn those on behalf of my brother. Isn’t that right?”

“I meant to cut it into pieces rather than burn it, but that’s right.”

All you have to do is not be able to identify whatever is in between.

Would it make any difference whether you burn it or explode it into pieces?

“It would be better to burn it.”

“It’s better.”

“There’s more to check.”

“I don’t know if there’s more to check, and I know I don’t have time.”

– Kagang! Kaga River!

– Bwaaaaah!

Just as Eila said, the breathless sound of blades and the harpy’s cries can be heard again, as if telling people to hurry.

I will hurry.

Calian was clearly in a hurry.

Like the one who first fought Calian, that harpy would have tried to finish the fight before it realized he could absorb aurors and the fight became more difficult.

– Kaaaaang!

It is a self-evident fact that guards will come while that fight continues. And after the fight, you’ll be able to check out the villa.

If the nobles of Whitlin claim that ‘if there are more harpies, they will pose a great threat to the territory, so we must search the area to protect the territory,’ Plantz cannot stop them either.

Even though it is related to the royal family, it is a monster like nothing else. If an incident like this is ordered to be ‘don’t touch it because it’s the royal family’s business,’ it’s the royal family’s order, so it will be followed in the end, but there will definitely be a backlash. Because this was not Kairisis.

“The prince will try to catch the harpy as quickly as possible. So it would be better to get rid of the guards before they get here.”

Eila expressed the same opinion as Plantz.

There is no question about whether you know how to use magic. Don’t even say unnecessary words. He is a different person from the blue-haired crazy wizard-like creatures that are annoying to deal with.

“okay.”

Plantz, who gave an answer along with a brief impression of Aila, used his magic power.

– Saaah…

I spread magical energy over the various pieces that were not at all pleasant.

It was similar to what Calian was trying to do. If only the spreading magic power was transformed into the power of fire, all that false evidence would disappear.

however.

– Pass…

The fire that had started burning in Planz’s hand died down.

Aila couldn’t see it, but the refreshing magic that had enveloped all traces of the place had also dissipated. That was what Plants saw.

Eila slightly raised her eyebrows and looked at Plantz.

“What’s wrong?”

“Because I don’t know.”

“Don’t you know how to handle fire?”

“…… not.”

My thoughts return.

I think by making good use of what I learned from my younger brother.

“Why should we get rid of it?”

It’s annoying though.

It’s really annoying though.

Randel’s voice reminded me of Randel’s words.

‘I won’t let you get rid of my goal again.’

Randel said so.

The reason Rashid Brissen is manipulating Whitlin is ultimately to save Brissen. Since Calian is trying to touch Vriesen, whom he wants to eliminate himself, he will first corner Calian in order to save Vriesen. They said they would frame Calian for attacking the palace.

Of course, Calian also agreed with that.

Isn’t that why you came to Whitlin to check and stop that schemer? They even created an unprecedented justification for directly inspecting the estates of the crown prince and princes.

‘Siegfried is still not big enough for Rashid to touch. Moreover, Duke Siegfried personally escorted His Highness.’

The words are stored in my memory without a single mistake.

okay. Kalyan said so.

There is no way Rashid Briesen can surpass Siegfried.

‘Rashid Briesen looks like me.’

‘Because I think the same way as the prince.’

Rashid Briesen is a snake.

Snakes only hunt once. Don’t aim for someone you can’t kill in one go. I do not make a gamble-like attack that may be a threat, a fatal injury, or a self-destruction to an opponent who is sure to put me in a pit. Devlan was like that too.

Rashid Brissen is a manipulator.

In most cases, they don’t try to hunt directly. Plantz’s memories led Plantz to Ronil and Alan to chase Calian. Devlan was like that too.

‘But why did Rashid Briesen choose Siegfried?’

– Kaaaang! Kang!

think about it

I think on behalf of my younger brother, who has no strength to reason because he met the harpy again, who had already become a nightmare, and found out that his fence was being targeted again.

Holding the magic bullet that Eila gave me tightly in my hand. Before I knew it, I was standing in a puddle of someone’s blood.

“…… no.”

think about it

“You can’t get rid of it.”

At the end of that thought, Plantz muttered quietly.

* * *

Should we be thankful for the baby elephant?

Or should I just ask them not to give such large gifts in the future?

Calian chuckled after checking the tightly closed door of the training hall again. Thanks to this villa, I was able to face the harpy alone, but thanks to that training center, I was able to deal with the harpy without any other worries, so I don’t know if I should be thankful for this or not.

– Bwaaaaah!

As I was taking a moment to catch my breath and relax, I heard the harpy’s cry again.

It looks the same as the harpy we encountered on the way to Whitlin, except the facial features are different. The wings that replace the arms, the feet with long claws, and that terrible cry are all the same.

– Fasut!

Even the poisonous energy that dyes the ground in an instant.

“I’m going to build a walkway here. Don’t ruin it.”

Calian, who spoke harshly, kicked his foot.

As Calian’s figure disappeared as if immersed in complete darkness, the floor he was standing on caved in.

– Kwakagak!

He raised his wings as if they were going to cut off his upper body. He stepped on the claws extending between them and leapt. I stepped on the floating Auror and jumped once more, aiming for the guy’s neck.

I don’t know if it was because I had already dealt with him before, or because my back was free, but I felt that dealing with him was easier than before. Its speed remained the same, but Calian moved faster, striking away its claws and dodging its wings.

– Kaga River!

Blade-like claws rushed to where Kalian was standing.

As if he had been waiting for this, Calian, who had already left the scene a while ago, appeared right behind Harpy and swung his sword. The red auror energy cut off the back of the harpy’s neck, leaving a thin afterimage.

Woe!

But unfortunately, Calian’s sword only slightly cut off the creature’s neck feathers. The attack was in vain as the guy who quickly bent down twisted his body and rushed at me.

– Aaaah!

-Ssam!

The creature moved reflexively due to the cool energy and flapped its wings. Calian, who jumped backwards to avoid the sharp feathers, sent another attack towards the Harpy. Then, the guy, who had become more violent thanks to the experience of almost getting the back of his neck cut, runs towards him.

“Tap.”

Calian, who was lightly floating, moved above the guy’s head and swung his sword.

– Ugh!

The red sword elongated and let out a long cry.

Calian immediately swung what was in his hand as if there was no need to check how the shape had changed.

Whirling!

As the sound of the wind cracking was heard, an auror stretched out like a whip and tied the guy’s feet.

“… should I cut it?”

I thought for a moment about changing the side of the whip into a blade and cutting off the guy’s ankles, but then changed my mind. Isn’t it possible that Plantz or Eila might come forward to help in the fight?

One accident caused by his blood being splattered everywhere is enough.

– Kyaaaaaaa!

The guy whose movements are blocked lets out a sound again.

Calian frowned slightly, shook off his distracted mind, and applied strong force to the auror wrapped around his hand.

– Quaaaang!

The harpy’s body, which was trying to fly, plummets to the ground. I pulled the harpy’s legs, which were flapping their wings, once again.

In order to avoid shedding as much blood as possible, the enemy who was wary of continuing attacks using weapons other than swords would not learn how to ‘absorb aurors’. That’s how I distracted the guy.

As if he wasn’t going to lose in a battle of strength, he raised the tip of his wing and stuck it into the ground, then swung his other wing. I hit the whip that was binding my feet with its blade-like feathers.

– Kwasik!

-…… Exciting!

A momentary shock was felt in Calian’s heart and Danjeon.

This is because the Auror, who was almost cut off by the man’s power, developed a repulsive force. Even in the midst of all this, Calian was impressed, thinking that perhaps even Slayman would not have the same power as that guy.

“It’s fun. You too.”

Calian, with a sharp smile, strengthened his arm again, which had almost let go of the whip. And after running wild for a while, the Aurors quickly returned to their original positions and were used again.

– Ugh!

A red sword is held in Calian’s left hand.

So he threw himself away with a whip in his right hand and a sword in his left hand.

In the end, the harpy, unable to free his bound feet, stood up on one foot. Then he stopped trying to escape in the opposite direction and rushed towards Kalian.

– Kaga River!

Calian swung his left sword as if he had been waiting and released his whip.

– Whirring!

– Kwaduk!

And this time, it wrapped around the guy’s neck.

I can see the guy’s body swaying due to the red light that suddenly tightens around his neck.

The smile on Calian’s lips turned deeper.

Whether it has wings instead of arms or poison flowing through its body.

Shouldn’t we just take a breath and live?

– Whaaah!

It waved its wings once again.

Calian stretched out his aura and leapt out of the attack range into the air. I moved behind him, stepping on the red pebble-like auras scattered in the air.

Calian took advantage of this moment to look around and look at the training ground.

“Now that I think about it… why?”

Now that I think about it, it looks like the inside of the training center hasn’t been burned down yet.

Is Pea hiding the use of magic from Eila? Is it because they hide it and Aela doesn’t have magic bullets so she can’t get rid of the things inside?

Or no way.

What happened?

– Cards galore!

I put away all the fleeting thoughts and anxiety.

Because dealing with that guy comes first.

If anything were to happen, Aila would have relayed the message through the communication ring.

– Bwaaaah!

I hear the scream again, not in my ears but in my head.

Calian took a deep breath, escaped the sound, and pulled the auror he was holding in his right hand.

– Kwaaak!

– …Wiggle!

The harpy began to struggle. The sense of life that I really, really never want to engrave is conveyed through my hands. The feelings that even Bern, who ended many lives with something other than a sword, were reluctant to convey are clearly conveyed.

– Ugh!

Calian shook off his numb eyes and moved his auror. I held the red sword in my left hand again, which I had put away for a moment while moving my body.

– Kagang! Kaga River!

I had no choice but to dodge the charging harpy, deflect my claws, and attack by striking upward. However, he never loosened the grip on his neck. I clamped it down with all my might and continued to swing my sword.

The screaming subsides.

The struggling movements subside.

I tightened my grip on the sword in my left hand. And without hesitation, he rushed towards the noticeably slowed creature, which was no longer moving at a similar speed to Calian himself.

-Ssam!

however.

at that time.

A cold sensation took my breath away.

Calian’s red eyes filled with power.

Calian moved quickly as if there was no need to look around. I changed my path and flew to the side.

-……Suddenly!

A familiar feeling passes through my side.

The pink clothes that did not suit me were seen turning red in an instant.

shit.

– Kyaaaaaaa!

Another one.

This was not a guy I had ever dealt with. Another harpy flew in.

– Hwiik!

Another harpy rushed in without him noticing and extended the claws that had cut into Calian’s side again.

shit. Damn it.

Calian swallowed a curse and moved his right arm. Because I had to deal with two animals, I gave up my stubbornness. Even if blood is splattered, I believe that the two people will not suddenly jump out of the tightly closed training room, so I decided to get rid of at least one person completely.

– Ugh!

The Auror’s whip was changed into a blade.

no.

I tried to change it.

– Kwasik!

The one that had just appeared and rushed towards Calian raised its claws. And surprisingly, surprisingly, they ‘cut’ the long aura.

The middle of the red whip snapped.

-…… Exciting!

Calian’s shoulders flinched.

An unwelcome sound was heard.

My heart feels tight. I feel suffocated by the power of the Auror who was cut off without preparation.

– Tadat!

Calian exhaled the breath he had been holding for a moment and launched himself.

– Slut!

– Kwaaak!

Almost as soon as Calian leaves, the harpy’s foot strikes.

– Taaagh!

I jumped behind him.

I barely managed to free myself and rushed towards the guy I was originally dealing with. The aura waved again before calming down. I flew towards the guy.

– …… Kwasik!

I spread my wings and plunged my sword into the neck of the guy who was jumping in. Before he had time to react, he spotted Calian and in an instant, without even having time to fight back.

– Ugh!

– Cards!

A lot of sharp aurors are running wild inside the guy’s neck.

The guy with strong vitality rushed at me, ignoring the fact that a sword was stuck in his throat. After throwing away that attack, Calian’s eyes glowed narrowly.

– Ugh!

change appearance

Not a thin, thin sword, but something else. Thin and wide.

okay.

– Kwaduk!

Like a wide disk. Like a shield made of blades.

Still stuck deep in his throat.

The neck muscles that held the Auror’s blade were split and swelled in size. The blade stretched out in all directions. It split the bone and pinched the flesh and popped out.

Only then

– suddenly!

I cut out the guy’s breath.

The body of the guy who was glaring at Calian until the end tilts over. The head of the guy that was on top of it popped up.

– Coooooo!

It falls.

The persistent breathing finally stopped.

“…… under.”

Calian let out a short sigh.

Patter.

Blood flowed from Calian’s long, split side.

– Taaat!

However, he immediately jumped away without even looking at the wound on his side, which was not clear whether it was gouged or cut.

– Kyaaaaa!

Because it’s not over yet.

Because there’s one more damn harpy left.

– Kaaaang!

– Kagang kagang!

I blocked the guy’s attack.

For a moment, I found myself losing strength in my arms.

-…… Exciting!

I feel the power of blessing within my body moving in a hurry. Because the auror was cut off just now, the auror was shaken for a moment, and the wound from the second harpy was newly poisoned.

Calian, who used his aura to prevent the poison from spreading as much as possible, received a bite from the creature.

“… What should I do?”

I struggled to push away the poisonous energy that was building up in an instant and thought about it for a moment. I took a moment to correct my shaking vision and think.

And decided.

– Master.

ah.

It won’t work.

With Hina, Kirie, Yan, Raven, Corn Whiskers, and Peas. And even Brother Chase and Aila. It’s unfair to leave it all behind and ignore it. It’s unfair to keep fighting, determined to end this battle before I turn 30 or 50.

I have too many regrets to fight without regrets.

– Master. Can you hear me?

It won’t work.

I have to call my dad.

Kaaaaang!

He used his aura to push away the poisonous energy on the cut wound and raised his sword as high as he could. A cry as sharp as that of a harpy shakes the eardrums.

– father.

No answer from Alan.

I twisted my back and kicked my feet.

After striking away the claws of a harpy flying in front of me, I quickly turned around, stepped on the wings of another one that was charging at me, and leapt.

– I’m crying!

fast.

The more you move your body, the faster the poison spreads, disturbing your vision.

He pushes it away with his auror again and kicks his foot. My heart is beating violently. Begins to detoxify.

I stretched out my arms.

I kicked my leg.

– Slut!

Its claws are getting crushed.

Shake it.

My vision blinked.

Shake it.

I should avoid it, but I can’t.

I raised my sword to somehow block it.

– Slut!

Its claws are getting crushed.

I saw it completely.

I knew it was late, but I raised my sword.

That moment.

– Kaaaaaaaa!

A huge metallic sound rings out.

A thick sword flew out of nowhere and cut off the guy’s claws.

“I am not the prince’s father.”

Calian turned his head.

Black armor.

A shining silver sword.

It seemed like that.

“Are you okay?”

A low voice is heard.

A very handsome fiancé was blocking Kalian’s path.

After receiving a call from Calian, I wore a brightly shining ring.
