The Escort Knight Who Is Being Obsessed Over by the Villainess Wants To Run Away

28. Final Test (6)

At the beginning of the final test, Elijah gave Judas a bracelet.

It is not an ordinary bracelet made by hand using the techniques learned through exchanges with the Mage Tower.

An artificially enchanted object.

Artifact.

It was made by Elijah himself to give Judah.

The conditions for the artifact to activate are as follows.

When Judas was in danger.

And its effect is to send a warning and coordinates to Elijah himself while burning all the threats in close range.

To be able to react instantly with teleport.

This is the second of the arrangements Elijah prepared to catch the royal family.

Actually, rather than an arrangement, I prepared it because I was worried about Judas.

***

“… Elijah?”

I blankly muttered the name.

Something cold ran down her wrist.

From noble mtl dot com

Looking down, she saw that the bracelet Elijah had given her was broken.

It squeaks and falls to the floor.

The red jewel in the center of the bracelet was broken.

‘Come to think of it, the light that spread around me earlier. Rather than my body, I think it was biased towards her left hand….’

Elijah appeared after the fire had spread.

Suddenly broken bracelet.

That was enough to figure out what the situation was.

‘Artifact?’

Elijah gave me an artifact.

As if they were preparing for something like this.

“Whoa.”

One of the opposing wizards said with interest.

“Aren’t you Lady Elijah? Rumor has it that she is an excellent wizard.”

Elijah did not respond.

I can only see the back, so I can’t tell what kind of expression it is.

Judging by the fact that her head doesn’t move, she seems to be staring at her opponent.

I looked at the enemy and confirmed the position of the sun statue being held up.

Elijah and the wizards face each other as if confronting each other.

And the altar on the far left. Sun on it.

‘Their goal must also be the sun statue. There are as many as three imperial mages.’

Minimum conditions to become an Imperial Wizard.

Able to teleport long distances.

‘Those guys, if you have to, you can just grab the sun table and escape by teleporting.’

I watched the enemy and the sun statue alternately, wary of that sudden action.

It became a natural confrontational composition.

Hazel and the three Imperial Wizards.

And me and Elijah.

‘Fortunately, one wizard is missing an arm. It’s going to be hard to show off your usual skills.’

Hazel. That guy needs to be careful too.

A battle where wizards and knights who can use magic are mixed.

Unexpected situations always arise from articles.

You cannot move vigorously to use magic.

Thus, the mage is like a cannon held in place.

On the other hand, knights can move freely.

A body that has been strengthened with magical power sometimes exceeds the magician’s casting speed.

‘The wizard will be dealt with by Elijah. I have to take care of Hazel and the sun statue.’

Perhaps because of the numerical superiority, the mage was relaxed.

“A noble person took a step, but I am sorry. We plan to take the relic from our side.”

Elijah answered indifferently.

“Okay. I never gave you permission.”

“I never asked permission—”

At that moment, I saw.

The two wizards in the back and Hazel exchanging signals by winking.

Something is about to happen.

I lowered my posture little by little.

Preparatory action to jump out when the time is right.

“—Because there is none.”

The moment the wizard finished speaking, Hazel ran toward the sun statue.

At the same time, I also moved.

I ran, bouncing on my crouched knees.

We reached the sun image at the same moment.

There is no time to reach out and snatch it.

Raise your weapon and face it.

Hazel swings her sword.

Honest, but neat, so it’s a no-nonsense seed cutting.

A large two-handed sword falls.

It is a sword that is as rough and heavy as its size.

After playing against him a few times, it’s a move I’ve gotten used to.

However, the result is different from usual.

Kwaduk! And the sword broke.

My sword.

“!”

I managed to dodge to the side.

I almost got cut.

Hazel rushes without a break.

Switched to half-swording, followed by a quick stab in half a beat.

I approached after spilling it with a broken blade.

‘If you drag me into a hand-to-hand fight… !’

However, as expected, Hazel pushed it away with her foot.

He distances himself.

It seems like you never want to give me a favorable environment.

‘Did I lose my guard because I was flustered…. I should have been more careful.’

Only then did I see Hazel properly.

A large two-handed sword.

It’s different from the weapons I used to know.

Only the shape is similar.

‘A special weapon prepared for today….’

I lost my guard because I thought it was my usual weapon, and I lost it.

Short moment, a workshop.

While thinking about how to solve it.

Suddenly, the surrounding vision was distorted.

It wasn’t dizziness or illusion.

Like hazy fog, a hemispherical veil came out and trapped Hazel.

“This is… ?”

Unlike me, Hazel is calm.

I watched him and looked out of the corner of my eye at the tent.

‘Barrier?’

A veil that blocks the outside from the inside.

I know what this is.

‘Magic Disruption Force Field?’

The cast target is obvious.

The three wizards.

They separated Elijah from me.

Hazl pointed his sword at me.

“It’s luxuriously large for your tomb.”

The difference in armament.

A broken sword and an intact sword.

And the difference in ranking.

I am the 2nd place at the training center, and Hazel is the 1st place.

They completely excluded the knight from the melee between the wizard and the knight.

‘Because I’m sure that Hazel will beat me.’

Likewise, the three wizards are confident that they will defeat Elijah.

However, my thoughts are a little different.

It is impossible for those three to defeat Elijah now.

Then what about me?

“… ….”

It’s quiet.

Completely disconnected from outside and inside.

I can’t even hear the sound.

Inside the tent, it was truly as quiet as a tomb.

“Well….”

I had no intention of retreating anyway.

Do you have the confidence to win?

Possibility?

To be honest, I’m not sure.

If you manage to approach with a broken sword, you can win with grappling.

‘The problem is, Hazel knows that too. I’ll try not to give that distance.’

Only one thing is certain.

There is nowhere to retreat.

So even if you lose, go straight.

“We still don’t know whose tomb it will be.”

***

Elijah saw a hemispherical tabernacle formed on one side of the passage.

A space sever barrier with magic disturbance function added.

Judas is trapped inside.

With an imperial spy named Hazel.

‘Did he induce a magical fight excluding mobility?’

A melee in a confined space is unfavorable to wizards.

Thus, they removed the two knights from the battlefield altogether.

“Is the name Judas?”

The wizard said.

“That candidate whom the young lady cherishes.”

Elijah did not respond.

Magic requires a high degree of concentration.

Thus, when wizards fight in close quarters, petty provocations often occur.

It is to distract the spirit and concentration.

You must not lose your concentration while provoking, so you have to walk a very subtle tightrope.

“I can’t wait to see who gets to see whose corpse first.”

Elijah did not go along with the provocation.

“Not really….”

I didn’t think her own article would lose.

She didn’t even paint a picture of herself being defeated by them.

Unlike her appearance, she had an unpleasant twist on the inside.

I just didn’t show it.

Dare you, who is referring to whose corpse.

“It would have been better if I had been locked up.”

“We were curious too.”

Wizards are rare and valuable talents.

There is no place to compete and compare one another’s skills.

“Could that famous genius wizard be a can of rumors? Or is it really worthy of being called the Second Coming of the Age of Myth?”

Although she did not reveal her identity, Elijah knows where her opponent belongs.

Imperial Wizards.

One of the two largest groups of wizards.

The other one is the magic tower.

‘That’s how proud I am of my excellent skills. It must have been verified through various experiences.’

Thus, it was confidence that kept Yuda and Hazzle isolated.

‘While we were wasting time with conversations, in a short moment, the station field was created and completed. Not only the ability of each individual, but also the ability to cooperate is excellent.’

Based, objective confidence.

If that opponent had not been Elijah himself.

“Then, once….”

The three wizards pointed to Elijah.

The hand is an excellent body part that assists in the direction of magic.

“Let’s check it out!”

Magic was born out of thin air.

Unlike the one I used on Judas, it was quite a high level magic.

A huge dark cloud of lightning rises.

Hundreds of pointed stone shards rise and aim at Elijah.

And then, the roots of the trees rising from her floor and restraining her.

Elijah stood still with her hands in her pockets.

Looking at her, her three wizards laughed viciously. She was sure

It was over.

But.

Kiyiing-!

A light flashed above Elijah’s head with a shrill noise.

Golden beams of light illuminated her all around.

The rest of the dazzling eyes, the wizards had no choice but to close their eyes.

When they opened their eyes after a while, the inside of the chapel was quiet.

Just a bead the size of her finger sparkled above Elijah’s head.

“Uh… uh?”

The magic prepared by the three disappeared without a trace.

While they were dumbfounded, a golden orb fell onto Elijah’s hand.

It resembles a small sun.

Elijah looked down at the sun in her hand and said nonchalantly.

“This much….”

As they wondered, so did Elijah.

The chance to fight a skilled mage is really rare.

Compared to her ballac, she herself is vastly lacking in experience.

She accepted it for him, but it was disappointing.

‘It’s better than Bols, but it sucks.’

Three lousy imperial mages.

Elijah confirmed one thing.

The emperor did not fully trust the information he leaked.

If I had believed that there would be a sun statue, there would be no way I would have sent only a wizard of this level and a knight named Hazel.

‘It’s here because of its fame, it’s a relic that is rumored to be over there. It can be. It must have been burdensome to move the elite troops carelessly. Still, he’s much more cautious than expected.’

Aside from that, I was curious about a few things.

The emperor’s goal to achieve with the sun statue.

The conditions for activating the sun image.

And the Emperor knows the conditions.

Lastly, how did Judas come to know about this place?

Minor than her previous problems, they were far more important to her.

A lot of thoughts went through my head in a short moment.

Meanwhile, the three imperial mages muttered in dismay.

“What happened… ?”

“Absorb magic… ? No way, something like that against us…. Creepy?!”

The three wizards collapsed, coughing up blood.

I clutched my stomach as if I felt a stomach ache.

“Keek-!”

“Kuhk, kuhuk… !”

A wizard looked up at Elijah while regurgitating clots of blood.

“This, what is this, son… ! Big!”

The reactions of the other two wizards are different.

Rolling on the floor, coughing up blood, or screaming while scratching the floor until your fingernails break.

“Okay.”

Elijah didn’t want to give a painful explanation.

It’s just that Elijah didn’t stay still while they were doing this and that.

She slowly created a fire inside the bodies of those three.

Anesthesia magic was also added to make it belatedly aware of the pain.

I didn’t know when I was learning that the healing magic I learned for Judas would be applied in this way.

“This is all I have to tell you. Who is your enemy Who are the people you dared to harm?”

Elijah approached them who had fallen.

Ttogak, Ttogak.

The sound of shoes echoing through the ruins.

There is a lot to think about, but there is only one problem to deal with right now.

If you lightly toss the marble in your hand, the little sun will rise again.

Magic emanated from the orb.

Dark clouds flashing with lightning filled the ceiling of the chapel, and hundreds of sharp stone shards floated around as if aiming at the three wizards.

After absorbing the magic cast by those three, it was released again.

However, the size is much larger than before.

And what rose from the floor was not a tree root, but a whip made of golden flames.

The whip bound all three limbs to the floor.

“You should give me a chance to apologize. All you have to do is answer the questions honestly.”

Elijah looked down coldly at the three imperial mages.

Her pupils shone with a different color.

Orange flames trapped inside red eyes, and yellow pupils like beads of light.

Since arriving here, her eyes have been burning with mad fire.

Yuda and Yuel almost got hurt.

Those who tried to invade her fence lie helplessly in front of her.

Elijah calmly refined her anger toward them and took it out.

“In return, I will kill you painlessly.”
