Episode 26

Rachel and Catherine had no reason to stay any longer, so they had to leave immediately after only one night.

Allen asked Rachel to give her some time to speak with Catherine before they left.

“What did you call me for?”

“My brother’s job… I am truly sorry.”

Her eyes looked empty.

I did everything for Julius. It seemed that the result was only the breakup of the marriage, and even after a day had passed, a considerable shock remained.

“There may be strange rumors circulating that grown-up men and women are single, so I hope it ends soon. Confucius.”

… It seems that there is still a lingering resentment.

When he realized he could move her well enough, Allen smiled a little.

“Lady Catherine.”

“If you have nothing to say… .”

When she showed a ready-to-get attitude, he threw away the pretense.

“Breakfast.”

“You don’t want to go back.”

She trembled as if she had been insulted by those words, and looked at him with venomous eyes.

“Right now, you must take responsibility for what Confucius said. To insult me ​​now… .”

“what if.”

Allen cut her off.

Her haggard face turned to anger, but he didn’t care.

“What if my brother wasn’t real?”

“… Yeah? what is that… .”

Catherine’s head turned quickly.

“If you say that your brother’s body has been stolen by some demon… .”

looked into her eyes

A mixture of astonishment, doubt, anxiety, and a glimmer of hope swirled in black.

Those confused eyes reminded me of flower buds that have not yet bloomed.

“Would you believe it?”

I don’t know what will bloom.

“Sit down. I think I have a little bit more to tell.”

Her eyes fluttered rapidly, she looked at the door, then clenched her teeth and sat down.

“Now, tell me. Confucius. What does that mean?”

Allen looked at her like that and smiled white.

very white.

After that, it was an hour before she left the drawing room.

Rachel doesn’t doubt that they came out so late… .

“You, tell the truth.”

… same but

She whispered to him with ax eyes.

When she returned with a better expression, she seemed convinced that something had happened before she entered the drawing room.

“What nonsense did you blow to that child?”

Fortunately, he was relieved to be questioned differently than Allen had thought.

“It must be difficult because of something bad already, you know you shouldn’t give me useless hope, right? chamberlain… Julius, reconnecting with that motherfucker or something.”

“It’s nothing. just… We were just discussing the apology and thanks to my brother and whether there was a way to compensate him.”

“Then I’m glad… .”

She had an ambiguous expression on her face, as if she felt something. Allen shifted her topic to avoid her nibble.

“Rachel, take good care of yourself. Did she say she would go to her academy?”

Fortunately, she accepted the conversation without questioning.

“I was thinking about that too. To be honest, I may be able to adapt, but I’m trying to do as much as I can to help.”

“I’m sorry too, but… . Unfortunately, I can’t keep up.”

She smiled, blinking innocent eyes.

“it’s okay. You said you’d be here soon, didn’t you?”

Allen replied with a bitter smile, and stepped back.

Catherine was waiting in the carriage, so she couldn’t talk for a long time either. She hugged him once and then turned around and waved her hand.

“Well then, see you next time!”

She moved and entered the carriage. She greeted Catherine with her eyes, promising the next.

The next time we meet, you will be ready.

either you or her.

Allen left the city immediately after seeing Rachel off.

Linbell and Enelia will be educated while he is away from Laura, the handmaiden next to their mother.

‘If you’re bored, your mother will also participate in the maid’s education.’

Moreover, since we have entrusted special training for Linbell to the housekeeper, she will be busy with no time to rest while he is away.

Allen remembered Linbell’s face, which was about to cry, and then smiled and waved his hand.

Nol’s head was crushed as he pushed his teeth in.

The gnolls lost dozens of companions before they even approached his radius, and the gnolls who managed to get close were also decapitated when he drew his sword.

‘First rank.’

A result that is too shabby to be an achievement that has been achieved for decades in a previous life.

Allen had a hierarchy that was not worthy of the strength he had managed to reach before he died, even making a contract with the devil.

It is the same even if it has a heterogeneously large ring for being the first rank. The reason was simple.

because it was lacking.

What Allen wants to aim for is Julius before the return. An opponent who was literally walking in the footsteps of a hero, defeating disasters in various places.

From such a guy, would it be right to walk the path of failure once again?

Even if you can’t even fight an opponent from the front? It was also a result obtained in a proper, unusual way.

The difference between him and himself is huge.

‘Using elixirs and objects that were only used in literature, the growth rate is embarrassingly fast compared to mine.’

Of course, unlike in my previous life, I didn’t know what would happen now.

Unlike then, Allen did not suffer from the side effects of magic, and from now on, if he concentrates on magic again, he might get more results.

‘When is that?’

Magic is not something that can be accessed as a science.

In order to know if you can use magic, you must acquire knowledge in the field, and it must be similar to the nature of mana you perceive.

In order to use the flame-based magic, the knowledge of fire and the magician who recognized it had to take a similar form.

This is because the form of magic that each individual perceives is different.

Allen is a skein, Prindal is a light breeze, Francisca is a sticky darkness, and her sister is… .

‘I said small grains.’

Fridal, who recognizes the form of magical power with light wind, is good at dealing with wind-type magic.

Francisca perceives magic in the form of sticky darkness, and uses it to create a new lineage.

‘If my brother’s circle hadn’t been smashed… .’

What magic did you use?

The words of his younger brother, who recognized that the entire world’s magical power was made up of small, constant particles, were different from Allen, who could only see magic with a thread.

something you’ll never know anyway.

Allen shook his head. He was too late to learn new magic anyway. So he had no choice but to make another choice.

‘You have to catch up with growth.’

In order to get a clue to save his brother by his side, he had to be at the level to join the journey.

stopped walking.

There was a huge entrance.

The Giant’s Ruins.

Allen didn’t know much about it.

Ancient ruins located between the Great Desert in the southwest and east of the Countess and the Michelland Mountains in the northwest.

Before the ancient empire, which greeted the golden age of civilization, disappeared into history due to the ‘Great Fall’, there are not many records left about the time when it was treated as a myth even in that era.

It was said that it was an era dominated by dragons and giants, and now was overflowing with phantom species mentioned only in old books.

What he knows is that Julius obtained a certain ‘sword’ here.

And after he got that sword.

‘That it has grown at a remarkably fast pace.’

In addition to that, the remains of many dragons and giants were buried beneath the ruins.

Allen intended to use the remains to use the occult, known today as impossible.

The reason he chose this sword was simple.

‘Until he got this sword, the growth rate of swordsmanship was slow.’

Allen remembered. The figure that grows in real time, no transcends it.

Even if the ability to manipulate magical powers increased rapidly, his swordsmanship itself was mediocre. In fact, isn’t it natural that it is magic that is passed down to the Reinhardt family?

In terms of swordsmanship alone, the family’s martial arts were of a lower level than the visions of other nobles.

However, as if ridiculing it, he obtained the sword and showed tremendous growth.

If that was the ability of the sword, he would make up for the weakness of his body, and even if it wasn’t, he had to come to use the occult at this ruin, so he was thinking of recovering it.

You can weaken his power, so why not?

The entrance to the ruins was with its mouth wide open.

‘How many years from now was this discovered?’

It didn’t matter.

It will never be rediscovered again.

Allen stepped into it without hesitation.

The ruins were quiet and dark. The absence of a common wild animal.

Even before entering the ruins, the monsters that attacked them from time to time disappeared.

The walls were full of murals that had faded over time, and only small bugs were frightened by his approach.

How far did you go, relying on the light of such a small lamp?

tap-

“Is it here… .”

There was a huge cavity in front of them.

The cavity was filled with pitch-black darkness, and there was even a kind of gloomy feeling in the uninhabited silence.

When the lights were lit, the remains of numerous dragons and giants cast long shadows as if welcoming him, each showing different appearances.

A dragon with a broken head, a giant with both arms cut off, a dragon leaning against a wall, a giant kneeling on the ground.

Numerous bodies were intertwined, reminiscent of classical works of art.

The center of the dizzying remains, the huge pillar, no… .

“Is that a sword?”

A giant sword reminiscent of a pillar was stuck in the center of the cavity.

Instead of approaching the sword, Allen sat down on the nearby floor.

“I don’t know how long it will take… .”

One month would be enough.

At Allen’s heart estimate, the circles began to spin like crazy.

Threads were constantly being pulled out around him and hovering around him.

This is one of the questions that wizards often ask.

‘When did the circle magic system exist?’

Why do wizards make rings in their hearts, is there any other way?

There are countless ways to store and use mana in the body.

Nobility uses their own vision, and mercenaries can buy low-level secrets if they have money.

But why does magic have a unified system?

Many wizards had a ring in their heart and thought of such a question. The answer is, of course… .

‘there was.’

Another way.

What Allen was about to do was one of many visions so forgotten.

‘Dragonic magic system.’

A magic system created from the question of why a magician could use magic like a dragon if he turned the heart into a jewel.

Changing the heart, the core through which magical energy flows, into a solid gem like a dragon.

Fewer materials were needed.

Just a gem or medium with high magical conductivity. The larger the quantity, the better.

The method was even simpler.

The first is similar to the circle magic system. Make a ring of circles in the heart.

But after that… .

‘Do not increase the number of rings.’

It does not circulate magic power through the body.

Just constantly increasing the size of one ring. When you grow and grow rings like that, and make them into a heterogeneous large circle.

– bagak

knocked on the ring

A cracking sound was heard in Allen’s ear.

Mana flowing back from the broken ring circulates around the caster, forming a magical storm.

At that time, if the prepared medium is broken by the formed storm and absorbed by the body… .

‘Success.’

However, the end of those who practiced this vision was not very good. It was natural. Artificially deforming an important organ called the heart.

It was not easy to maintain a large circular ring, and the quality of the absorbed medium was also very important.

If you want a dragon core, you need a body of a phantom species such as a dragon bone, or a conductor of the highest quality such as Orekalcos.

Even if it was made so successfully, the body could not withstand the output of the heart and in many cases the body exploded, and in many cases, they died from the tremendous pain that accompanied the secret training process.

This was clearly a failure.

nevertheless.

Tap the ring again.

The ring is cracked.

What could be called the life of a wizard begins to crumble. I felt fear.

Rather than the fact that failure means death, the fact that you may miss out on the opportunity you received again because of this failure.

come now?

‘On a topic I already knew.’

Even though I had been preparing for this moment since I returned. Even if I realized that magic wasn’t enough.

I wanted to quit.

In fact, I was still conflicted.

Do you really need to try this adventurous method? Didn’t even the chimera magician tell you?

Do you wish for the impossible?

The chimera shaman would have known more about these body-mutating visions.

So, his words must be close to common sense regardless of whether it is a lie or not.

So how about looking for another way?

Wouldn’t it be better to just follow the circle magic system and go to the academy to learn new knowledge?

Then, through the walls of 5th and 6th circles, maybe even 7th circle.

so to the guy.

when the thoughts get there.

[brother]

voice is.

[This is the magic book I got this time… .]

I heard my brother’s voice.

his family and his only brother,

A brother whose circle was broken because of him.

After agreeing to save my brother who has turned into a fool.

Wasn’t his ‘decision’ to save his brother so desperate? Was it easy enough to get you back on the easy path?

not.

It wasn’t like that.

Come now, what, are you going back now? Was that the only resolution? Do you just dodge and wait for your opponent?

Will you give up if you don’t get the chance?

How long are you going to say that it seems impossible, that you are afraid, that you are afraid?

‘You know it’s not enough, don’t you?’

Sometimes I want to save my younger brother, so I dedicate a lot of Young Ji-min to get the inspiration of a genius. Do you think it’s a thing of the past now that you’ve returned?

‘I didn’t feel it in the chimera master’s workshop.’

There is a way to chase him.

Here’s a way to follow him now.

ring.

‘Are you going to give up?’

knocked

His body trembled from the terrible pain and his eyes began to bleed.

Allen chuckled. The smell of fishy blood from the strongly bitten lips awakens the mind.

The incontinence of the ring went away, and the circle began to tremble as if it were about to break. Magical power started to rise through the rest.

make a commitment

Ignoring fear

We had plenty of time to come here before heading to Hibel.

Still didn’t go No, she was right that she was turning away.

Before dealing with the Chimera Magician and seeing the dead Young Ji-min.

Have I been faithful to them? Were you noble?

saved

I had to face my own contradictions. Young Ji-min was abandoned in order to use her past knowledge. What makes it different from him?

Then what to do next? Are you going to be locked up in your room again? like back then?

The answer came.

no. now.

“Break it.”

will not escape

A huge roar echoed in my head, and the ring shattered.
