Episode 285: Overpower (1)

is a high-difficulty endowment magic located at the top of the 5th tier.

It was a function that was built into the [Conjurer’s Robe] given by Prince Riviant in the past, but the robe was completely destroyed in a magic battle with the Administrator, the alter ego of the King of Sorcery.

However, Verden is currently a 6th tier mage who has gone beyond the 5th tier.

In addition, he borrowed magic books from the Great Library in Lines, a large city in the kingdom of Estyria, and learned a lot of 5th tier endowment magic.

He no longer needs outside help to hide his appearance and presence.

‘… … There he is.’

Verden crossed over the city.

Immediately, his gaze stopped in midair and turned forward.

There was a shadow of a person entering the entrance of the underground waterway, taking advantage of the gap where others’ eyes could not reach.

An unknown person clad in a green robe, whom I encountered several times today.

‘Are they following my tracks?’

It was the self-governing lord and the two magic towers that burned down the rainbow-colored inn and annihilated the lower classes.

If he was that person, it would have been natural for him to run straight to the upper line to report, rather than going into the underground aqueduct.

In that sense, it was quite different from other followers.

Behavior that does not know which faction you belong to.

In addition to that, including the secret tracking ability that even Verden couldn’t easily notice, he naturally chased after him.

who the heck is that character?

Without delay, I intend to find out now.

Verden gradually lowered the altitude.

He headed again into the darkness of the underground aqueduct.

* * *

An unfamiliar shape hanging in the air of an underground waterway.

The person wearing the green robe pulled back the hood, revealing a youthful face that might have looked like a mid- or late-teens.

The woman, Rebecca, frowned as her emerald-colored bobbed hair fluttered.

“Ha, really… … .”

It was a sigh close to a sigh.

Rubbing her eyes, she murmured softly.

“It was really stressful living in the Dominion. Now, I’m going to go into the sewer like this. No matter how it is——— Ugh?!”

As I went inside, an indescribable smell hit my nose.

I belatedly grabbed my nose strongly, but to no avail. The shock of her stench, which had once stimulated her sense of smell, was etched into her mind.

Unknowingly, tears leaked out.

“Eh, if I knew this was going to happen, I’d leave it to Ethan… … !”

Rebecca’s mission is to watch over Asher.

The purpose was to find out the intentions of the new ruler of Loapra, who appeared without warning and invaded the Dominion of Midlos, and to be on guard.

Maybe it’s because they didn’t know that it would be a big hindrance to the mission given to them.

Rebecca is an excellent sorceress and possesses an extraordinary stealth.

In addition to natural talent, physical and magical abilities that have been rigorously trained by Master.

It’s hard to say the exact level, but at least it was incomparably superior to the three knights of the Dominion and the two wizards of the Mage Tower who were tailing them earlier.

As a result, I was able to continue the pursuit without getting caught.

‘But, of course, it’s an underground waterway!’

Rebecca chewed her lips and wiped her moist eyes.

Bugs with dozens of legs crawled on the walls, and filth floated in the shallow current.

Visually, it was the worst.

It was shocking to the point of despair because she hated dirty things so much.

If it hadn’t been for … … I could assure you that if I had had to dip my legs in that mess, I would never have gotten in.

Why did the king of the underworld enter the underground waterway?

Although they had never met face-to-face, and it was Rebecca herself who had followed her, she felt resentful of a man named Asher for some reason.

Then, a fork came out.

Is it left or right? Instead of thinking, Rebecca held out her left hand.

The light blue gem embedded in the ring shone.

[retracing waves]

A magic item that can find out the currents of the past.

As the blue light permeated the turbid water, the traces left by people were revealed. Small waves swayed feebly.

‘The direction is right.’

As long as there is this ring and there is a waterway, there is no need to get lost.

Rebecca let out a small sigh and continued the chase.

As time passed, the scenery of the canal gradually began to get used to.

The tired sense of smell no longer felt the stench. The acid that had risen from the stomach at times also subsided.

It was a very unpleasant adaptation.

Then, in no time, we arrived at our destination.

A shady space where dozens of rotting corpses float.

“what is this… … .”

Unbeknownst to me, my hair stood out.

However, the embarrassment was only momentary. It’s quite disgusting, but it’s not like seeing someone die once or twice.

Such is the normal world.

I examined the corpse carefully.

And after coming to the Dominion and combining the information obtained, it was not difficult to guess that the people who died here were the lower classes.

The culprits presumed to have started the fire at the Rainbow Inn.

Looking closely, there seems to be a few corpses that are not bums and paupers… … anyway.

‘Maybe that’s what they did.’

Extremely dangerous beings who received the help of the Dominion Lord and the two magic towers.

A certain group, the reason and purpose of Ethan and Rebecca staying in the Dominion.

Chances are high.

It was because they were eliminating those within the Dominion of Midlos, like the Mamentus Firm, who had been touched by the Bohemian Mage Tower.

The Rainbow Inn was no exception.

I didn’t expect to see the missing forces like this, but I was just surprised and there was no particular inspiration.

No matter what, there was no information about the guys Rebecca and Ethan were after that I could get here.

No, on the contrary, the question has increased.

‘Why did the king of the underworld come here?’

How else did you know the bodies were here?

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t figure out why. The closer I get, the more I feel like I’m falling into a deep pit.

Anxiety choked his mind.

“… … Shall we go away at once?”

It would be a waste of time if I tried to figure it out by myself.

The priority was to meet and discuss with Edan, his priest. He didn’t want to remain in the horrible underground waterways any longer.

That was the moment Rebecca made her decision.

“uh… … ?!”

I suddenly felt popular.

As I instinctively turned my head towards the entrance of the space, a strange yet familiar man was standing in the air.

Its true identity is Verden, who has canceled .

He looked straight at Rebecca, his blue eyes glowing in the dark.

“Who are you?”

A cold voice echoes.

Rebecca was motionless, as if frozen. Then, slowly, the pupils dilated, and the dainty lips parted.

yet.

“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

A piercing scream echoed through the underground aqueduct.

* * *

Rebecca is a refined wizard.

No matter what anyone else said, she considered herself that way.

Is it genetic or environmental influences?

Although he had a young appearance because he stopped growing at an early age, he had long since become an adult, and his magical experiences were as rich as the days he had lived.

I’ve been through a lot of life-threatening battles before and after.

That’s why, no matter what happens, Rebecca proudly boasts that she can react calmly.

But now I couldn’t help but be shocked.

“Ah, ah, why is the king of the underworld here… … ?!”

I was so shocked that I couldn’t even speak properly.

As my mind wandered, I momentarily lost my balance. At least, he almost plunged his head into the water where the corpses were floating.

Cold sweat dripped from his forehead and formed at the tip of his chin. My heart was beating strongly.

Verden narrowed his eyes.

‘Certainly not from the Mage Tower.’

The Magic Tower is a group that pursues extremely profit.

Of course, there are many who do not, but the wizards who are in charge of a certain important role in the Mage Tower act based on coolness.

Because it is efficient and reasonable.

On the other hand, the woman in the green robe… … Well, it shows humanity.

It was a reaction and gesture that felt something free, not the confined atmosphere of the mage tower.

However, it does not appear to be a third force that is hostile to the Bohemirn Magic Tower… … .

‘In other words, the fourth force.’

Unexpected people intervened.

However, it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with the events happening in the Dominion. The same goes for secretly following him.

Of course, there was no option to let it go like this.

Verden said.

“I will ask again. Who are you?”

“?!”

Rebecca winced.

She swallowed and carefully parted her lips.

“The lower classes who live in the underground waterways… … You wouldn’t believe me if I said that?”

“It would be more strange to believe.”

A young girl with clear skin.

By all accounts, it did not fit in with the slums at all. Wouldn’t it be better to be a noble?

“… … I’m sorry but I can’t tell you who I am. But I have no intention of pretending to be like this with you. So let’s pretend we haven’t met each other and just let her go… … Can’t we?”

“You’ve been following me all day and talking a lot.”

Verden activated the magic circuit.

She bowed her head at the attitude that she had no intention of letting go quietly.

“Ha, I guess so.”

Rebecca clenched her fists.

“But I don’t intend to be easily caught either!”

With magic power, he raised his arm upwards.

The water in the waterway, which had been flowing slowly, almost stagnant, became agitated, and two muddy streams created as if exploding attacked the opponent.

Verden put on a protective shield made up of magic.

The water pressure was squeezing on both sides, but it didn’t mean much. Magical barriers reinforced with arcanes can’t even be damaged by low-level magic.

Of course, there was no way Rebecca knew about him.

“A magic barrier? No matter how much it is the pinnacle of Loapra, it seems that I have been looked down upon quite a bit.”

Rebecca calculated magic and concentrated her magic.

It must be the intention of trying to pierce the shield with more powerful magic at once.

It wouldn’t be too bad to leave it like this until it ran out, but there was no need to waste time like that.

Because there was a means to subdue without any damage.

Verden’s magic flashed.

Whoaaaaagh!

A magical storm rages.

An intangible pressure that has reached the level of a semi-transcendent and is stronger than before. There is no possibility that an opponent judged as an obvious sewage will overcome.

At that time, light emanated from Rebecca’s necklace.

A thin, translucent green membrane enveloped her entire body, completely blocking Verden’s mana from all directions.

Rebecca grinned.

“That doesn’t work for me!”

triple cast.

Two waves and a huge spear of water rushed towards the front of Verden.

Immediately after, her presence split into several pieces in the water. A red light formed around Verden, who had immediately absorbed her magic.

Flash!

The light of the flame bursts out.

Three spells shattered by heat and shock. Along with that, an intense flash of light instantly filled all directions.

Verden, who was on edge, immediately identified the opponent’s location.

“… … ?”

However, the presence was felt from behind, not from the front.

When I turned my head there, I saw a woman walking away with her emerald hair flowing.

Even though Verden was blocking the entrance.

‘Is it magic?’

Judging by the expression she sensed, it wasn’t her own magic.

That must mean that he learned magic that was improved through hierarchy magic. It seemed that he had a mage with considerable skills as his teacher.

A wizard who learned magic derived from the magic of others.

In addition to the talent and effort to cast a triple cast, even a special magic item that prevents outside influences from penetrating.

‘He’s not an ordinary person.’

I got curious.

who the heck is that woman And what kind of organization is she from?

Verden summoned Orient from subspace.

If possible, I wanted to have them follow me quietly or neutralize them without any damage, but the opponent’s ability to escape is quite excellent for that.

‘So I can’t help it.’

I have no choice but to suppress it a little, roughly.
