Episode 107
Darkness (暗黑), a huge explosion of darkness that I can’t explain, dyed my consciousness and vision completely black.
The reverberations of an explosion soaring like a mountain, so huge that the reverberations of the explosion could be seen even from afar.
The vortex caused by the miasma of black magic swirled around, and all the forests in the area were withered away in a hideous manner.
“… … ?!”
Maybe I could have used Bell Curious at that moment to control the damage so that it didn’t come this way (it’s impossible to erase it because I don’t have magical power)… … .
I didn’t do that on purpose. Because there was no need for that.
For some reason, the power of the explosion and the coordinates of the bombing were not pointed in this direction.
“What are you… … .”
Instead, in the afterstorm of miasma, Valencidis’s left arm, which appeared blurry, disappeared. I was dumbfounded when I saw blood pouring from the cut surface and soaking the ground.
Did you fail to control your magical power?
No, that worldly Valencidis?
In the midst of chaos, with his heart pounding like crazy, Valencidis pointed to the other side of the forest with his remaining right arm.
“good. If you run that way, you will be able to escape this mess. “The special department is coming from there, so you can get help.”
“… … ?!”
“I lost this left arm in a fight with you. That’s how I missed you guys. “I don’t think even Master would have any doubts about this.”
At that moment, I came to the realization of something that should not be expressed or felt. Something I felt little by little during the festival… … .
And another realization came.
This is because the attack launched by Valencidis at the Imperial Palace was merely grandiose, and there was no real threat.
‘That bastard, is he really trying to save me?’
To avoid suspicion, he deliberately used maximum power magic to blow off his left arm.
But why?
For what reason?
Perhaps sensing the suspicion in his eyes, Valencidis, who had stopped the bleeding in his left arm with a healing spell, started making incomprehensible noises.
“When I look at you, I feel like I’m looking in a mirror.”
“mirror? “What bullshit!”
“Now, all actions are similar yet different, even the action of turning one’s back is the same, so it seems like we can’t understand each other no matter what we do… … .”
Still, someday, we will meet again, someday we will meet in the same place.
I believe so.
Origin, personality, past, present… … Even though everything is different, we have the same beliefs and are walking towards the same future.
“I gave up this left arm for that day. That’s it… … Go now. before it’s too late.”
The figure of Valencidis, who smiled bitterly and turned his back, disappeared into the thick fog of poison in an instant, leaving no time for him to catch it.
Do not be ridiculous.
Don’t make me laugh, you damn son of a bitch.
What on earth are we going to do now? … Such confusion was swirling around my mind, but my legs were running urgently towards the north.
‘First of all, we need to put Casena in a safe place… … Anyway, there is a light dragon over there. ‘You can fight only after you recover your magic power.’
Cassena, who had been poisoned by the miasma, fainted and was wheezing hard. She must escape the Abyss’ sphere of influence and heal properly.
How dare you show kindness to me?
After I resolve the problem with Kasena and her magic power, I will come to you right away and kill you without any mercy… … .
That’s what I decided, but I knew better than to know that I wouldn’t be able to do that when we met again.
– Thank you, Lane Ludwig.
I desperately walked my feet through the fog of the abyss. As the soil quickly eroded away, her ankles kept slipping and she almost fell several times.
Even though I ran and ran, I only felt like I was struggling in the mire. My whole body was sticky with sweat from the hot, strong wind brought by the rainy season front.
It was clearly broad daylight, but the dark clouds and abyssal fog that engulfed the sky made the world darker than the previous New Year’s Day.
An explosion of magical power colliding was heard. Behind, from the city, screams rang out endlessly.
And finally, tok, tok, todok… … A wet, fishy smell began to mix in the air, covering the sky with black stains.
The rainy season suddenly started pouring down with heavy rain, instantly taking away the body temperature from my entire body.
‘It’s funny…’ … .’
Although the curtain of wind was spread in a semicircle to block the rain, it could not prevent the ground from turning into mud, so the running speed gradually slowed down.
‘That warlock bastard, he’s making people laugh for once…’ … .’
One knee buckled in the mud, but I quickly got my bearings and started running.
I was irritated by the rain that drenched my face, stung the corners of my eyes, and flowed down like tears.
– Still, I believe. Someday, we will meet again, someday we will meet looking at the same place.
What’s wrong with a subject that commits such massacres?
Is he really mentally ill?
It is a supreme fact that there are no normal people among warlocks.
‘What on earth is this guy doing? … .’
The screams that were echoing in my ears were completely cut off by the sound of pouring rain. That was the last normal explanation of the situation that could be given.
At that moment, the abyssal tumor that formed a horrifying shape in the sky burst, the dimension was torn apart, and a gurgling, dark-blue vomit-like substance poured out.
Right this way, straight ahead.
And, the ‘something’ that had vomited the vomit made eye contact with countless wide-open eyeballs beyond the crack.
「Find────」
「───Yes」
“Everything────”
A voice that resonates directly in my brain, a pain that feels like my whole body is being torn apart, my brain, my brain is shaken… … .
ah… … .
Strength in the body… … .
The moment when the strength in my whole body slipped away and my knees buckled, the moment when I just closed my eyes and was rolling on the ground with Kasena.

“Lin, lin, lin!”
The exact moment when Fifi urgently and helplessly spread the flames wide, facing the rushing vomit that filled her vision.
──────Exactly.
Finally, I stopped when I heard the sound of my fingers snapping… … time in the world.
It is not a figurative expression or a literary expression, as if the story inside a book stops when you close it.
To explain it roughly, isn’t the unidentified substance that was pouring straight down or the blood that was spreading the flames all frozen and frozen in motion?
‘this… … how… … .’
Of course, I couldn’t move either. It could truly be said to be the ultimate magic.
however… … .
There was someone who walked around that world as if it were natural.
“I’m sorry, but I have to leave this land for a while.”
It was a truly unique costume. Because all they wore was a simple white robe of a style not worn by any race anywhere on the continent.
But why does the glasses worn on the face give the feeling of being more advanced than any civilization I have ever seen?
I couldn’t see his features because they were blurry, like light and darkness, but I could tell right away that he was a being of a different class.
“If you think about it just a little, you will realize that their owner is looking for you right now. “He’s still a quick-witted guy.”
you are… … ?
Who the hell are you… … ?
As if to answer that question, as he approached, the black sheep around his neck resonated, emitting dazzling black light in the frozen world.
“Sometimes you call me Void, and sometimes you call me Truth? “Strictly speaking, both are wrong.”
The truth, no way… … Before the thought could come to a conclusion, the man snapped his fingers and the whole world suddenly became smaller beneath his feet.
And the sight of the entire world visible at a glance, like a globe, was amazing. It should have been that way, but… … This was something a little different.
All the visible land was covered in an abyss, melting miserably, and all the sun and moon were falling, turning it into a world without a single ray of light.
“The erosion of the abyss has begun. From now on, it will slowly eat away at the world and eventually it will end up like this. “It’s a pity, but you can’t stop it.”
Without being able to respond, he suddenly tapped my forehead with his index finger.
“The reason I brought you to this era in the first place was not to prevent that destruction. “To record and deliver the light of the last days.”
The moment I thought there was a ripple at the tip of my finger, my vision instantly went black and my consciousness plummeted into the depths of endless darkness.
“You will go to a rough land, but if you don’t give up until the end, you will be able to come back.”
uh, ah… … ?
As my consciousness was dragged into the darkness, the deep darkness, without any time to resist, a meaningful voice quietly rippled in my ears.
“Well, it’s started now… … “The hundred-year journey of your life.”
* * *
Only after the horses that had been driven in such a hurry since dawn were enough to collapse due to the foam, Kavan Ludwig and Brim Ludwig absentmindedly pulled on the reins.
“What the hell is this…” … .”
But this look… … .
Like rotten teeth, all structures are melting and decaying, and the city is not just ugly, but ugly.
“Your Excellency, Madam!”
The family’s guardian knight, Swan, hurriedly led the cavalry, but Ludwig and his wife did not wait for them and spurred them down the hill.
No way.
That can’t be possible.
The letter that Madelia Page urgently delivered to Griffin a month ago contained something unbelievable.
“Stop!”
The soldiers of the Kingdom of Dunos, who were controlling entry and exit at the northern gate of the city, tried to block the road by crossing their spears, but someone inside waved their hands.
“Please let me in. “This is Prince Ludwig of the Holy Human Empire.”
The person who explained that to the soldiers was Doran Slade, head of the Magic Blind Special Branch.
Trust in him was certain in any country, and when the gatekeeper nodded, the soldiers immediately put away their spears and held the reins.
As soon as that happened, Ludwig and his wife immediately jumped off the saddle and quickly approached Doran.
“Doran, what on earth is going on… … .”
“First of all, others have to pass as well, so please eat inside.”
Doran always had a smiling face, but now his complexion was full of fatigue and his eyes were sunken. There was no smile on his face.
The situation inside the city was even more dire.
All of the buildings that were still intact had been converted into temporary wards, but all the hospital beds were full with people who had not regained consciousness.
“These are all people who fell into the dead and then came back to life. “If Gwangryong had not been able to bridge the dimensional gap, he would have had to be killed.”
The dead are those who have been consumed by the abyss and can never return to their original state. It must be killed… … People who were family or friends just a moment ago.
“Doran, now I want you to tell me what happened.”
“Someone has built a large-scale magic circle centered around the Beopwangcheong. It is a magic square that shakes the seal of the world axis, and to put it simply, it seems to be an attempt to summon one of the
“How is that possible? This must be
A large-scale magic square is only larger in size, and the construction principle is the same as a general magic square.
To complete it, meticulous work must be done not only in the subsidiary circles but also in the central circle, which is the headquarters of the Yellow Dragon Corps.
How is such a thing possible? Unless the Legion collectively became blind and mute.
“Cardinal Yoshhar says it seems to have a person as the central circle.”
“person?”
“I once obtained Tureina’s research paper. Of course, it was a banned book, but the idea was to carve magic into a person’s body to create a central or subsidiary circle of a large-scale magic circle.”
Kayvern, who had a thorough understanding of magic, could not help but sigh.
They say he is a disciple of the great wizard and the great shaman, and his ability to come up with ideas is indeed far beyond that of a criminal… … And even the ability to put that idea into practice.
Brim, who was restlessly listening to the story, intervened in an urgent and sharp voice that was not typical of her.
“Well, that’s fine anyway… … ! So what about Lane? Where is Lane? “Tell me where that child is, Doran, please.”
“And on the day of the incident, there were three suspects who were able to pass inside the Beopwangjeong Office without much suspicion, and now their whereabouts are unknown.”
“Doran!”
“Chief Cadet Valencidis, and Lane Ludwig and Cassena Page who came for the ceremonial ceremony.”
The moment Doran silently listed the names, a shock that turned his mind blank passed through Brim’s heart.
“Valencidis is the prime suspect. It is presumed that he ran away with the leading forces, but the other two have no charges to prove their relationship with Tureina. … .”
The moment Doran avoided his gaze as if he had no respect for him, Brim, who understood everything his junior was trying to say, gave up his knees and fell down weakly in his seat.
“We are currently releasing our men and trying to collect the remains… … I said the same thing to Your Excellency Madelia. “I’m really sorry, senior.”
The shock of the unexpected result was so strong that I didn’t even shed tears at first.
No, I knew it. I knew it, but I just desperately denied it.
Brim, who was staring at the ground blankly like a person in a daze, ended up covering his face with both hands and starting to sob.
“No, it can’t be, it can’t be… … .”
Kaven, who didn’t want to accept the situation until that moment, shook his head repeatedly.
“There’s no way he’s dead. That child was a wizard who was better than most adults… … Yes, Gwangryong is great! “Perhaps you could ask His Holiness where those children are now?”
It is said that the magical power of the light dragon Haraderi can reach all parts of the world. It wouldn’t be a problem to be able to confirm the child’s life or death.
“It’s impossible.”
He shouted in despair, holding on to the last, really last ray of hope, but Doran just shook his head helplessly.
“This is top secret, but it is said that Gwangryong suffered a fatal wound when he was closing the gap in the abyss. In fact, it’s a miracle that he’s even alive.”
Doran, who watched Kavan’s eyes blink blankly and then helplessly drop his painfully contorted face, drew the line at impossible hopes.
“I’m so sorry.”
Only then will the Ludwig family quickly give up and begin training for the next successor… … .
The emotion Doran felt as he held the two people’s shoulders firmly one at a time and then walked away was an unfamiliar fear rather than sadness.
After disrupting the Faequerries and dragging them to another land, they attacked the Beopwangcheong Office, leaving Gwangryong, who has led humanity united in the name of religion for a thousand years, in critical condition, and the Grand Wizard’s body is missing… … .
‘The abyss is really awakening… … .’
The Age of Dragons, or the Golden Age, was coming to an end and a summer like never before was about to arrive.
