Have Magic - Chapter 67

Embrace the Magic (67)

The first batch of students were the oldest to enter the special forces training center. They were also the oldest and had the strongest desire for freedom.

In particular, there were many who had the desire to start a family. While traveling around, they met many women, and through that, they opened their eyes to the opposite sex.

I made a decision. I will no longer move as someone’s sword.

“Let’s move.”

“That’s right. There’s no need to fight the knights of the kingdom. Let’s just quietly disappear.”

“Where are you going?”

“First, we must go to the Kingdom of Veros. There is no answer here.”

The fact that the first batch of graduates were slaves remained unchanged, even though the slave stick was fake. In the Kingdom of Riaz, where the slave system was firmly established, it was difficult to get rid of the shackles of slavery.

“The border is not far away. It’s only two days across the Ramaton River.”

“But how do you cross the river?”

“We should take the boat we came on.”

“Hmm, I guess I’ll have to repeat this twice.”

It was only nine days ago that Commissioner Keline had effectively surrendered to the Crown and crossed the Ramaton River at the Royal Call. Until then, the first batch of graduates led by Commissioner Keline had been on the east side of the Ramaton River.

The method they used to cross the river was simple. The first group spent 12 days chopping and cutting down nearby trees to make a raft.

The raft they built was so small that it could not carry more than ten people at a time. It was also so flimsy that it would be difficult to level it without the help of a wizard.

“The wizards will have a hard time. Can you do it?”

“Is there another way? I have to, I guess.”

“Then there’s no need to waste time, right? Let’s go.”

“let’s go.”

The first group eventually decided to escape under the cover of darkness.

About a few dozen minutes before the Imperial Army used magic.

They left the inn where they were staying to escape, and passed through the narrow alleys to the eastern commercial street.

As the castle walls came into view in the distance, the sound of horses galloping in a hurry was suddenly heard. The startled 1st corps hid themselves in the darkness and held their breath.

At that moment, the west suddenly became bright. The 1st generation instinctively stopped moving and stared blankly at the west that had become as bright as day.

“What, what is it?”

“Well, it’s like magic. Hans, what is that?”

“I don’t know. How would I know about that kind of magic?”

“Don’t look at me. I don’t know either. That’s obviously some incredibly high-level magic. It’s magic that someone like me couldn’t even dream of.”

The magic that brightly illuminated the west was a magic that neither Hans nor Paul had ever seen before.

If they had read a lot of books, they would have been able to infer the magic from the form, but numbers 11 and 20 were typical magicians who only learned what was taught.

“Something doesn’t feel right.”

“Huh? Who are those people?”

Then a loud noise rang in their ears. It was a loud noise that woke up the entire quiet commercial district.

“The enemy! The Empire has invaded!”

The first-generation students couldn’t immediately understand the meaning of the shout. They stood there blankly for a moment, with faces like, ‘What on earth does that mean?’

“It’s the Imperial Army. The Imperial Army has come from the west.”

“Damn it. It’s the Imperial Magic Troops. Run!”

At the sound of someone who realized the situation late, the first batch of students started running all at once.

Slow-moving wizards Paul and Hans were carried by 3-dena-level swordsmen No. 7 and No. 8, respectively, and they ran through the darkness.

* * *

As Rodin and Bronn rode their horses, they spotted a group riding ahead. Bronn slowed his horse down slightly, not knowing if they were allies or enemies.

The number of people running ahead was a whopping 17. It could have been dangerous to rush in without thinking and get attacked.

“Ignore it and run!”

“They?”

“I’m not the enemy, so just run!”

At Rodin’s advice, Bronn and his men increased their horse’s speed again. As the horses galloped from behind, those riding ahead opened up paths to the left and right.

Glance.

Bronn looked back. Ellis also gulped as she watched the magic slowly descending.

“Don’t stop, keep running!”

“Here it is!”

The flames were slowly dying down. The speed was really slow due to lack of control, but in any case, that magic was bound to collide with something.

Bronn and his party spurred their horses on, glancing back and forth.

Kwaaaaaaaah!

A huge sound woke up the entire village at once. Even Bronn and his party, who were far away, instinctively covered their ears.

I heard a ringing in my ears. I couldn’t even hear what the person next to me was saying.

Rodin pulled on Bronn’s reins, who was right behind him. Bronn also understood the meaning and picked up his horse’s pace again.

“It passes right through.”

“what?”

-You’ll pass right through. Don’t stop and keep running.

Rodin had no choice but to use his telepathic magic to convey his message to all of Bronn’s party. As he did so, he glanced at the first machine running towards him from a distance.

‘You managed to survive.’

I looked ahead again. Several security guards were milling around with puzzled looks on their faces.

This was not a city, but just a small village. There were no walls, of course, just a wooden fence.

-Don’t stop. Keep running.

Rodin went ahead and passed through the path between the fences.

A few security guards were loitering around the fence, but they did nothing to stop the group. No, they didn’t even think about doing so.

“Here it is!”

“Rodin! What’s ahead?”

Bronn’s voice was heard from behind. It was several times louder than usual, as if his hearing had not yet fully recovered.

“I saw it!”

“what?”

– Those ahead of you seem to be knights of the Empire. I’ll open the way, so ignore them and run.

About 100 knights could be seen ahead in the direction the horses were running. Sharing the view with Zito, he could see that the emblem of the Ingram Empire was clearly engraved on their clothing.

“Knights of the Empire?”

“Yes. It’s the Ingram Empire.”

Rodin cast his spell while his horse was running. He added a water seal to the rune chant and created three spells just before the final stage.

‘I hope you don’t chase me.’

The magic corps of the Ingrem Empire consisted of 500 magicians and 500 knights. They roamed the front lines for one year and seven months, attacking dozens of units and villages and achieving tremendous results.

Their special characteristic is that they bind together a wizard and a knight and move as if they were one body.

But today was a little different. With 500 magicians gathered in one place and using magic, the knights’ power was in the middle of nowhere.

It was a waste of manpower to gather all the knights together to protect 500 wizards in one place.

So they planned to have 100 knights guard the wizards, while the remaining 400 would surround the village and deal with anyone who tried to come out.

“The enemy! Don’t let a single one escape!”

“Haat!”

The knights stationed in front rode their horses and galloped toward us. As they rode from both sides, the distance between them quickly became short.

“Chain Lightning!”

As soon as the knight charged, Rodin unleashed one of the spells he had prepared in advance.

4 circle chain lightning.

It was a magic that spread like lightning falling from the sky, replicating itself every time it was struck. It could damage multiple people, and its power wasn’t bad either.

However, like all lightning attributes, it had the disadvantage of being difficult to hit the opponent.

“damage!”

“Stop it!”

The Imperial Knights’ reaction speed was slow due to conflicting orders.

The lightning that Rodin sent started out as one. It started out as just one, but it struck the Imperial Knight at the very front, and then split into two.

The lightning split into two and spread around, quickly increasing to four, then eight, before sweeping across the entire front.

“Ugh!”

“Ugh!”

“damage!”

“Spread out!”

About a dozen knights were electrocuted on the spot and fell off their horses. None of them died immediately, but they suffered injuries that left them unable to move for quite some time.

“Stop it!”

“Don’t miss it!”

“Take care of him before he uses magic again!”

Even after being hit by magic once, the knights of the empire did not give up. Instead, they clung tenaciously as if now was their chance.

“Cling to me!”

“Kill the wizard first!”

The Imperial Knights thought that since they had already used magic, they would be safe for a while. It was common sense that a wizard would need to cast magic when using it.

However, Rodin was able to create magic sequentially using the water. The second magic he prepared in this way exploded in front.

“Wind Storm!”

A huge wind storm created in front blew the charging knights away in all directions.

Unlike Chain Lightning, which was a 4-circle magic, Wind Storm was a 5-circle magic. It had a wider range and was much more powerful than Chain Lightning.

The tremendous power did not discriminate between horses and people. As soon as they were caught, they flew in all directions, creating an open space in front of them.

Rodin ran without stopping. It seemed like he was running towards the Wind Storm’s magic.

“Hey, isn’t this right for us?”

“Just run. It’ll work out somehow.”

“Eight!”

As Rodin ran, Bronn and his party also had no choice but to maintain their horse’s speed. At the moment when they were worried that they would fall under the influence of magic, the wind storm disappeared as if it were a dream.

Bronn and his party broke through the space created in this way. And the first generation of students who quickly followed did not miss their opportunity.

The Imperial Army did not give up easily. They opened the way with unexpected magic, but they were soon caught up again.

But Rodin’s magic isn’t over yet.

“Fire Wall!”

A wall of fire in the 4th circle blocked the party’s back. As the large flames appeared, the imperial army could no longer pursue them.

“shit!”

“What the heck is that guy!”

The Imperial Army was unlucky. The Imperial Magic Corps had not only 6th Circle Magicians but also 6th Denar-rank Knights. If there had been just one of them, they wouldn’t have suffered such a blow from this level of magic.

Unfortunately, the 6-dena knight was guarding the exhausted wizards who had cast spells. It was difficult to ask for help right away since they were on the opposite side of the village.

* * *

Rodin and Bronn ran for quite some time before they finally stopped. The first generation that had been following them was no longer visible.

“What were those people just now?”

“How would I know that?”

“But they followed along without saying a word. Are they all knights?”

“I don’t think so. The overall level is high. There seem to be a few knights. The people who were carried seemed to be wizards.”

Rodin and Bronn’s party were riding horses, while the first generation was all running on foot.

The first batch ran with all their might. Their training level was not low either. Thanks to that, they were able to run at a speed similar to that of a horse for a short period of time.

But as time went by, the distance between them quickly grew. The first generation, who had to carry their own luggage, soon got tired, and in the meantime, Rodin and Bronn attacked them.

“But Rodin! What are you? That magic you used earlier, that was Chain Lightning, right?”

“That’s right. I’m sorry. I lied to you.”

“So you’re a 4th circle wizard?”

Ellis didn’t recognize Wind Storm, a 5th circle magic. She only recognized Chain Lightning, which she used first, and Fire Wall, which she used last. Both were 4th circle magic.

“No. I’m a 5th circle wizard.”

“Really? Wow! Well, he does use magic really fast.”

“As expected. Rodin was a genius.”

A 14-year-old boy revealed that he was a 5th Circle wizard, and not a single person doubted him. The reaction was something like, ‘I knew it.’, which made Rodin even more embarrassed.

“Do you believe me?”

“I’ve seen magic, what’s not to believe? And you were just amazing from the first time I saw you.”

“I’ll take that as a compliment.”

“I can see it now. Is that it? The Ramaton River.”

A huge river shrouded in darkness appeared dimly. The waves reflected in the moonlight were sparkling beautifully.

“Wow! It seems wider than I thought.”

“Yes, Rodin. Are you sure you can cross here?”

“Yes. It’s not difficult.”

Even when pretending to be a 3rd circle magician, there was a way to cross the river. It was possible by combining the water spirit Undine’s ability to control the water, the 1st circle magic Shower, and the 2nd circle magic Shield.

Moreover, he had now fully revealed that he was a 5th circle magician. By combining Undine and 5th circle magic, he could even temporarily stop the flow of the river.

“But maybe because it’s night, it’s a little scary.”

“Me too. My feet won’t move.”

“Let’s rest for a bit. When the sun rises, we’ll be able to move around.”

There was no sign of the Imperial Army pursuing them. They didn’t lift Jito into the sky, but they could sense that the knights were following them.

“I wonder? My stomach was already starting to hurt a little.”

“Me too. I woke up and couldn’t even go to the bathroom.”

Bronn and Malone entered the bushes by the river. The grass rustled for a moment, and then the sound of water was heard.

“Oh dear. It’s a bit far away.”

Ellis covered her ears as if she was unclean.

Rodin understood Ellis’s complaints.

Actually, the sound of water was quite loud. It seemed like they were doing their business really close by.

“I have to go. Are you going too, Oppa?”

“Yeah. I need to empty my stomach too.”

“Please take a look at the net.”

“huh.”

As expected, the one who took care of his younger brother was his older brother, Baker. He calmly watched the surroundings while waiting for Bronn and Malone to return.

“Rodin, you?”

“I’m done.”

A moment later, Bronn and Malone returned. Ellis and Baker disappeared in turns.
