Chapter 048. why not

“Eh, what is this… … .”

Bares saw the blood on his hands and his chin trembled.

The magic was obviously cast normally.

However, the mana that was shot was scattered right before it reached Aaron, and the mana in his body began to flow backwards.

“Why, what’s not going well?”

Aaron asked, shaking his head.

A relaxed smile appeared on his face, as if he had already anticipated this situation.

‘Is it an artifact?’

Bares shook his head, struggling to control the backflow of mana.

Among the items produced by the Mage Tower, there is an Art Fact called Unicorn Tears.

It is an item that neutralizes magic below a certain level, and it was made to protect important figures such as kings and dukes, so astronomical amounts of money are required to obtain it.

‘A baron would be able to afford one.’

In less than a month, Aaron has established himself in Oddhaken.

Since he had been blessed by Oberin, he would have bought such an expensive item without hesitation.

“Looks like Oddhaken has fallen for your tricks. To buy that expensive thing? It’s a waste of money.”

After thinking, Bares spat out the blood in his mouth.

The downside of Unicorn Tears is that they are only one-time use.

Since it only activates once for each magic, and immediately disappears after it is activated, the cost-effectiveness was not very good.

“What are you talking about?”

Aaron twitched his eyebrows.

He sensed that Bares was mistaken about something, but he had no intention of correcting it.

“Did you think I was that stupid?”

Barres raised his hand again.

A normal wizard would have fainted from the reflux that just happened, but he was an arch mage.

Mana, which had regained stability before I knew it, was gathering at my fingertips again.

“Well, I’d rather not do that.”

Aaron raised his eyebrows as if he was genuinely concerned.

Bares gritted his teeth at his leisurely appearance even in the face of death.

“That kind of guts doesn’t work anymore. Did you think you could defeat me with just a disposable toy?”

“I warned you.”

“Shut up! Finger of Death!”

Jigsaw Jigsaw!

Red thunderbolts mixed with mana and magic were fired from Bares’ fingertips.

A 7th tier black magic that permanently damages the target’s body and mind.

It was a much stronger magic than the power word stun he had used before.

[I resisted the Finger of Death cast by Bares (Lv. 53).]

But, of course, the red lightning scattered as soon as it touched Aaron’s forehead.

The dotted clusters of red light were like fireflies running away in fright.

“Cheuk! Big!”

Bares collapsed on his face without even having time to look at the splendid sight.

Black blood poured out like a waterfall from his gaping mouth.

‘There is no bowl, no bowl.’

He now realized what was wrong.

I couldn’t feel the dark magic stone that controls the flow of demonic energy.

Without the help of the black magic stone, the demonic energy in the body becomes unstable, and if you cast magic in that state, a reverse flow will occur as before.

The first reverse flow was somehow corrected, but the moment the demonic energy was used, the flow was broken beyond recovery.

“Cool! Cool!”

Mana and Magi, which flowed harmoniously, pushed each other away and ran amok.

Every time he coughed, sometimes bright red blood, sometimes black dead blood flowed out.

“Hey, how many times have you eaten Magi so many reactions?”

“Turn off, shut up.”

Bares waved his hand before he had time to answer.

Then, the three living armors waiting in the corner rushed at Aaron.

Caang! Snuggle Geek!

The sound of metal bending and tearing filled the office.

The Living Armors quickly turned into piles of scrap metal and tumbled across the floor.

“You guys… … how… … .”

Bares looked at him, breathing hard.

Living armor is not simply moving armor.

Each one of them had a level of skill comparable to that of Auro users, but to tear them apart like tearing paper with their bare hands.

I couldn’t believe it even when I saw it with my own eyes.

Bang!

“Your Excellency Count! Are you okay?”

When the Living Armor collapsed and made a loud noise, the guards waiting outside came running and knocked hard on the door.

If there is no answer, he will break down the door and come in.

The count hurriedly spit out the blood in his mouth and cleared his voice.

“Okay. I’m training, so don’t come no matter what you hear. It gets in the way.”

“yes! dismissal! sorry!”

The guards immediately responded in a frightened voice and quickly moved away.

A cold sweat dripped down Barres’ chin.

They might help him at first, but when they saw the demonic energy he spewed out, they would immediately turn their spears.

If the superiority of power was on this side, it could be solved somehow with magic, but right now I couldn’t even do that.

“Still, the situation seems to be grasping well.”

Aaron pushed away the remains of the Living Armor and approached Bares.

Bares tried to cast the spell again, but gave up and lowered his hand.

I’ve already gone through regurgitation twice, but if I cast the magic again, then there was no turning back.

“… … How did you not know?”

he asked.

Aaron did not feel intimidated at all even though the 7th tier magic was being cast right in front of his eyes.

It means you knew things were going to turn out this way from the start.

Even coming in chains must have been part of the plan.

“what? Are you coveting Oddhaken’s manastone mines? Or did you intentionally spare Bronkel? Or did you plant the dark magic stone in the tomb of the previous head? I know so much, I don’t know where to start.”

“… … .”

Barres kept his mouth shut.

Aaron knew everything.

All of the high-quality information that was only given to close associates.

In particular, hiding the black magic stone was a secret he had never told anyone.

I was going to carry it to the grave, but I was very embarrassed because I knew it.

“count. Do you trust your daughter?”

“I don’t trust anyone but myself.”

“okay? But why did you just let it go?”

“I don’t know what you mean.”

“Did you ever think that Janice would be on my side?”

“No way.”

Barres frowned.

It was impossible for Janice to help Aaron.

She’s been living for Zeke and the baron all her life, but she’s helping a thousand people who might take away the position of the next head of household.

It was unbelievable.

“Who else but Janice can get through the mansion’s surveillance and go to her grandfather’s grave?”

“… … .”

Bares touched the desk, feeling that his eyes were spinning.

It was as if someone had hit the back of the head with a sledgehammer.

In all the cases I had thought of up until now, there was no betrayal by Zenith.

If it was her father’s words, she couldn’t even move at the slightest snort, but now she did something like this.

My legs trembled from the shock so great.

“Janice has never looked up to you. I have never been afraid.”

Aaron said mockingly.

Janice obeyed the Count to protect her husband and children, not because she respected or feared him.

She was ready to betray her father at any time for her own ends.

“And I didn’t betray you. Rather, it saved my life.”

“dog sound.”

Barres inevitably sharpened his teeth.

At first, I thought Aaron had been dragged in due to a ruse, but now I see that he was the one who got hit.

Janice, Zeke, Raast, and Aaron. These four were a team from the start.

“hey. count.”

Aaron stepped closer in front of Bares.

A red-hot hand gripped his neck.

“If it wasn’t for Janice, you would already be dead. I’m still resisting the urge to have all your teeth and tongue pulled out. know?”

“Keugh… … .”

The murderous intent in his blue eyes and the suffocating pain made him lose his mind.

Anger and shame are long gone; fear and despair have taken their place.

“Whoa, what do you want… … what is it?”

Barres said with difficulty as if he had admitted defeat.

“I can talk a little bit now.”

Aaron let go of Bares.

“Coke! Coke!”

Barres groaned and rubbed his neck.

I squeezed it so hard that my fingers were bruised blue and my airways were swollen so I couldn’t breathe properly.

Either way, Aaron continued.

“One, I completely give up my stake in the mana stone mine. Two, I will not interfere with Odd Haken’s affairs from now on. three… … .”

f*ck!

Just as he was about to say the third condition, something heavy lodged in his side.

Aaron flew off with the reluctant short-haired horse, knocked down the bookshelf, and was buried in the book.

“Stupid bastard. It’s so simple, as one should be.”

Barres limped back.

thud! thud!

Something huge came and blocked his way.

A hunk of metal with fists like battering rams, about twice the height of an adult.

It was an iron golem.

‘sh*t. Where did that come from again?’

Aaron climbed through the pile of books and touched his throbbing side.

[The damage received exceeds the rune’s defense. HP decreased by 15%.]

How long has it been since you had such a big shock?

It looked like three broken ribs.

“Raguz.”

[Spirit is reduced by 11%.]

[Repair the damaged area. Full recovery will take about 20 seconds.]

As soon as I expressed the rune, the pain disappeared and the broken ribs began to return to their proper place.

‘It would have been a long way for that to come out yet.’

The Iron Golem is a minion used by Bares in the game.

It hadn’t been shown until recently, so I thought it was before it was made, but I didn’t expect it to pop out like this already.

‘Was it like that?’

Looking around, he suddenly realized that the floor in his office was clean.

The remains of living armor scattered on the floor.

They seemed to have gathered together to form an iron golem.

[42]

Its level was lower than the stone golem I met when I got the Raguz rune.

Now that they are much stronger than before, they should be able to subdue them in an instant by destroying the mana core.

‘… … what?’

Aaron, who was shooting at the golem, opened his mouth slightly.

From noble mtl dot com

There was no mana core in his body.

When I encountered it in a game, it was lodged near my left thigh, but I couldn’t see a nucleus anywhere else, let alone there.

A golem that moves without a magic core.

It was impossible.

“Why, what’s not going well? It is so pitiful to be restless.”

Bares returned what Aaron had said.

Aaron watched the golem’s movements and furrowed his eyebrows.

“Where did you hide the nuke?”

“Heh heh. I’ll let you know when all your limbs are broken.”

Bares laughed softly and waved his hand.

Booung!

As if the golem had been waiting, he swung his fist.

As Aaron leaned down to avoid it, the other fist flew.

Fast pace that doesn’t match its size.

jump!

A heavy lump of iron hit his shoulder.

[The damage received exceeds the rune’s defense. HP is reduced by 10%.]

As I was frantically rolling, I managed to get myself together, and a warning message came to my mind once again.

“Big!”

This time I had no feeling in my left arm.

Looking down, I saw an arm grotesquely twisted in an unbreakable direction.

I felt like I was going to lose my mind from the intense pain.

thud! thud! thud!

But the golem didn’t give him a chance.

“Damn it.”

Aaron postponed the healing of his left arm until later and clenched his fists.

It was also difficult to deal with high-level enemies without exploiting their weaknesses.

To find a way out, I had to shock him somehow to buy time.

‘… … ?’

Aaron, who was watching the golem, narrowed his eyes.

I didn’t know because I was distracted until now, but now I see that a faint light is flowing from the top of his head.

A thin thread-like ray of light was connected to the ceiling of the office, constantly following the golem’s movements.

‘That’s right.’

The golem was not without a core.

this office. The magician’s workshop itself was providing magic to him.

Booung-

The golem that approached in a short time swung its fist again.

Instead of avoiding it, Aaron reached his hand toward the ceiling of the office.

“A wave of power!”
