Amazing, fluttering in the spring breeze
Shin-gi woke up from his dream and grumbled.
“How can someone who is born this way know more about the world than I do?”
Unlike Gishin, who frequently recalls and examines Gishin’s ‘memories’, Gishin simply felt Gishin’s ‘memories’. As if he had watched a movie, as time passed, only his impressions of the movie remained, and he could not remember the details of the movie’s progress.
Today is the day to go hunting for Laer with the sorcerer and the independent army. They named Laer Flying Fish. Their naming method is better for understanding the monster, but it is not suitable for regular troops. The monster’s name should be short and not be confused with other monsters, so as not to make mistakes in urgent battle situations.
“Your Majesty, but why doesn’t that Red Hawk die when he’s trapped in the ice?”
Viola is a girl who just turned 16. She is not the blonde and blue-eyed girl Shingi had dreamed of, but she is not much different. She is a blue-haired, golden-eyed girl. She has a few freckles, but she is a rare beauty, and her body is not a beauty, but a pretty girl. Shingi replies solemnly, scolding the corners of her mouth that go up at the title of great wizard.
“Ice has many properties, but I only used the freezing property. If I had used the cold property, I would have died from the cold attack, but since I only used the ice property, it only restrains and does not attack.”
“What other properties does ice have?”
“It also has an explosive attribute. Of course, it doesn’t explode like gunpowder, but rather suddenly increases in size. The penetrative attribute seeps into the body like fog. The solid attribute turns into solid ice and acts as a protective agent. And there’s more, but I don’t use magic while being specific. I use magic when my mind moves. You could say it’s the realm of the mind.”
“You’re only eighteen, but I think you’re really amazing.”
Shingi felt wronged. In fact, he had only been to the world of Gishin for less than a month. But when he returned, he had grown a year older. He had also missed the chance to become an adult. Of course, he was lucky that he was sent here and met Viola. Through his conversation with Gishin in his dream, he found out that the witch named Elisa or something was actually an incredibly ugly woman.
The party moved toward the coast on a large engine carriage, of which there were only three in the independence army. Since they had to be a small elite force, they mobilized Shingi, five black sorcerers, and seven independence army members. Viola, who had just become an adult, was surprisingly one of the top ten swordsmen in the independence army.
You can carry more people, but you have to leave a lot of space because you have to carry the lar when you return. The new gods have clearly shown how great the power of the magician is, and the mobilized sorcerers are also great sorcerers, so they have no worries at all even though there are only thirteen of them.
When we arrived at our destination, we saw quite a few Lairs. In order to save the mana of the divine spirit, we decided to freeze the divine spirits while the sorcerers and the warriors of the independent army captured them. We wanted to save the divine spirits’ mana in case an unexpected situation occurred. Viola remained as the guardian of the divine spirits, and one sorcerer remained to hide the engine carriage.
The sorcerer planted his staff in the ground and hummed a song-like incantation, and branches grew out of the staff and wrapped around the engine carriage. After about two minutes, Eric told the sorcerer to stop the spell, saying that he could no longer see the engine carriage. The engine carriage was still visible to Shingi’s eyes, but everyone else was satisfied with the sorcerer’s spell, saying that they could not see it at all.
The four sorcerers worked in pairs, one holding Laar in a binding spell while the other dragged Laar out with a binding spell. They released the tree trunks that bound Laar and, while maintaining the binding spell, the divine spirit froze Laar in a box of ice.
On the other hand, the warriors of the independence army were holding clubs and beating Laer senselessly. They were all upper-level warriors who could use mana, so they were unaffected by Laer’s water gun attacks.
Eric, who was moving in front of Laer on his feet, quickly dodged Laer’s water gun and then delivered a cool kick to Laer’s torso. Laer is about 1 meter long and weighs less than 20 kilos. Eric grabbed Laer’s wing and dragged him in front of Shingi, who was paralyzed by the kick.
As soon as the god froze the Lair, Eric ran out. Several Lairs were attacking one of the soldiers of the independence army. They had to be careful of injuries because there were few doctors and medicines in the poor environment. If a high-level warrior was injured and lay down for a long time, the current balance that was being maintained with difficulty was likely to be broken.
Eric saved the warrior who was maintaining a defensive posture out of concern for his injuries. He used a flying kick to paralyze one Lair, then immediately used a roundhouse kick to knock away another Lair. The Lairs changed their attack target to Eric, but Eric dodged all the water guns from less than two meters away, then used another flying kick to paralyze another Lair.
“General Eric Cantona’s kick uses mana to stun the attacking opponent. It works well up to stage 4, but it often doesn’t work against stage 5 monsters.”
Shin-gi was amazed at how he solved five Lars with just flying kicks and roundhouse kicks. Not only did he have a cool name, but his kicking skills were also amazing. Although his roundhouse kicks seemed a little lacking, his flying kicks were at a level that he wouldn’t be ashamed of even if he showed them off in front of tens of thousands of spectators.
“Okay, we’re running out of space. Let’s go back.”
The ice that trapped Lar was loaded into the engine carriage and people filled the remaining space. Shingi, whose body was pressed against Viola, kept getting hotter and redder in the face. Maybe because his body was hot and stuffy, his mind was also stuffy, and he wanted to use his magic against the monsters. However, the engine carriage skillfully chose an area where there were no monsters, so Shingi had no chance to act.
After leaving the frozen Laers in the hands of the shamans and warriors, he took Seung-woo and went out to catch Laers again. Even if Laers were to be released from the ice, the shamans and warriors would be able to respond, but Seung-woo would not. Of course, it is not that they cannot defeat Seung-woo, but if they kill or miss Seung-woo, all plans will be ruined.
After spending a fortnight preparing everything, they loaded all the engine carriages, including three large engine carriages, with lars and headed for the Yonggol Mountains. The Yonggol Mountains, located in the center of the desert, are not tall enough or large enough to be called a mountain range. However, since it is a name that has been passed down from ancient times, they still use it.
The sand grains became coarser and sometimes dry but firm ground appeared. After several days of hard marching, they arrived at their destination. Shingi, who had arrived at a place that had been an oasis until a hundred years ago, adjusted the ice magic that had been cast on Seungwoo.
Only half of the body was restrained, and the head and chest were left outside. Rare was brought in, and only part of the body was exposed, and then he was brought to Seungwoo. Rare’s body gradually became transparent, and at some point, its existence disappeared. As he continued to absorb Rare, Seungwoo’s red feathers gradually turned black.
Seungwoo, who had absorbed over a hundred larvae, turned completely black like a crow. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not escape the ice, so Seungwoo’s neck swelled up. Everyone who saw this covered their ears, but Seungwoo’s voice was not that loud.
After crying for a long time, Seungwoo’s feathers turned red again, and Shingi wrapped Seungwoo, who was no longer useful, in ice. Numerous warriors and shamans from various tribes gathered, hoping that Seungwoo would send rain. Some shamans knelt and petitioned the spirits of the earth not to reject the tears of the clouds.
After a short but long three days of waiting, rain began to fall from the sky. It was mysterious to see rain falling from a cloudless sky. As the raindrops grew heavier, the warriors began to dig waterways with wooden shovels. When the rainfall exceeded the speed at which the ground absorbed the water, streams began to form.
The sorcerers constantly stuck their staffs into the ground to gauge something. Then, when they thought the conditions were right, they immediately took out the seed bag, buried it in the ground, and used the magic of growth. The roots of the plants that quickly grew with the magic as their nutrients began to intertwine and hold the ground together.
As the blue color increased, some sorcerers took out sandworms. The sandworms that swallowed the magic stones grew in size and began to eat sand. After eating their fill of sand, the sandworms began to vomit sand after a long time. However, what they vomited was not sand, but dirt.
The seeds sown in the dirt-covered areas grew large trees instead of small plants like grass. The trees, which had grown tall and tall through magic, began to spread their branches and create shade. The roots of the trees entangled each other, holding the dirt in place so that it would not be washed away by the rain.
The warriors worked tirelessly to keep the area that had turned blue from being affected by the flood by continuously creating waterways. The rain continued to fall for five days, and the warriors, shamans, and sandworms worked tirelessly for five days.
Even after the rain stopped, they continued to expand the area of green space and planted trees in appropriate locations. After working for seven days without sleep, the warriors and sorcerers collapsed with satisfied faces and fell asleep. A much wider blue than they had originally expected spread out before everyone’s eyes.
“Thank you, Archmage. Thanks to you, we have hope.”
Viola hugged Shingi tightly. However, it had been two days since the rain stopped, so there was less to see than when it rained. Shingi didn’t dislike Viola’s warm body temperature at all. While he was thinking about wrapping his arms around Viola’s waist, Viola fell out of Shingi’s embrace.
The black warriors and black sorcerers, who had been sleeping soundly for more than a day, woke up and danced without even eating. After dancing for several hours, they drank water and drank food.
“When something good happens, you must always express your gratitude to the spirits of the earth and the sun through dance. They are the two greatest spirits that we serve.”
They believe that the reason why monsters cannot invade certain areas is because of the care of the spirit of the earth, and that the monsters cannot move freely is because of the care of the spirit of the sun. However, Shingi thought that it was more likely the will of the great humans. Or perhaps the dragon bones are buried in the Yonggol Mountains, preventing the monsters from approaching.
“We’ve used up all the magic stones we had this time. But now that we have hope, we can all come together. The great tribes have decided to join hands and defeat the monsters to collect magic stones. Will you help us, Grand Mage?”
Shin-gi nodded at Viola’s request. In fact, he felt a little proud of the achievements that Gi-shin had made, but he was not only influencing the small Republic of Korea, but also the vast continent of Africa. He decided that he would definitely become a figure who would occupy many pages in history books like Admiral Yi Sun-sin. He also had a modest goal of becoming an adult together by spending time with Viola and taking the opportunity.
“It’ll take a few days to decide on a goal and devise a strategy. For now, just rest and wait. And this is a fruit that grew on a fruit tree. It’s incredibly sweet. Have a taste. You don’t hate it because I took a bite first, do you?”
