Have Magic - Chapter 81



Only Noblemtl

Embrace the Magic (81)

As soon as Rodin came up on deck, he read the situation on both sides.

‘Is that old man the problem?’

Rodin first removed the old man who appeared to be a 6th circle wizard from the battlefield. This was to determine whether he could win against a 6th circle wizard.

‘This isn’t good.’

The difference in power between the two sides was so great that it was difficult to compare.

The commander of the Imperial Knights was fighting almost on equal terms with the man who appeared to be on this side. This side had a slight advantage, but not by much.

‘Reported as equal.’

30 mercenaries were meaningless. The skill gap between each individual was so great that even if only 5 knights from that side came out, they could still take on him.

There are 95 knights left. Can the two knights on this side, who seem quite skilled, take on them all?

‘It’s close. I have to join in to win.’

In order for Rodin to intervene in the fight with the knights, there had to be no 6th circle magicians there.

‘It has to be dealt with in an instant.’

It was hard being captured by a 6th circle wizard.

There was no chance of winning if I didn’t deal with the 6th circle wizard as quickly as possible, without using up too much magic power, and without taking any injuries.

‘That’s tricky.’

Rodin covered all the circles on his body with the Hydro Magic Circle. Then, he asked Zito to change his robe into his regular clothes and left the deck.

After carefully getting off the boat as if he were scared, he circled around to where there was no fighting.

‘The smoke should be able to pass through.’

He didn’t move too slowly. He moved at a moderately fast pace, like someone who was frightened and was moving their feet quickly.

It was a pretty convincing performance. To others, it just looked like someone was trying to get out of there because they were scared.

Dave, who was actually a 6th circle wizard, saw someone running away from a distance, but ignored him.

Rather than worrying about the weak who could not disrupt the trend, it was better to deal with the enemies right in front of you first.

After Rodin slipped out of sight of the enemies, he circled around and entered the harbor. After moving carefully, he finally arrived at the desired location.

‘Okay.’

Rodin cast a spell on the spot. The sound of the rune chanting was so quiet that it was drowned out by the sound of the wind blowing through the harbor.

‘This is your only chance. You can’t miss it.’

Magic or aura grants its owner a certain amount of resistance, so even if they are attacked by the same attack, they take much less damage than someone without aura or magic.

“This magic will be different. Black Thunderbolt!”

“Ugh!”

Rodin’s magic struck the head of the 6th circle wizard who was only looking forward.

Wizard Dave, who was completely unprepared, fell down screaming.

The magic Rodin created was the 5-circle Black Thunderbolt. It was an improved version of the original Thunderbolt.

Although it was a 5th circle magic, it had power almost equal to that of a 6th circle. Commissioner Elov of the Special Forces Training Center was also hit by the Black Thunder Bolt and his entire body turned into charcoal.

Moreover, this time, all of the people focused on just one Black Thunder Bolt, solely to maximize its power.

“Reflection, Hell Laser.”

Rodin used the next spell without hesitation.

The opponent fell, but did not die. I had no intention of letting my guard down until I finished him off perfectly.

Reflection is a magic engraved on the bracelet artifact made by Rodin, and has the effect of refracting magic. It doesn’t have much power on its own, but its true value is revealed when used with other magic.

“Ugh!”

Dave saw the magic coming after him, but he didn’t use defensive magic because it seemed to deflect to the side.

But the magic that seemed to pass by his waist suddenly broke and pierced Dave’s chest.

“Ugh!”

“Phew.”

Dave, who had expected the attack to miss and was preparing to counterattack, collapsed on the spot. His heart, pierced by the compressed heat, had already lost its function.

The reflection magic wasn’t originally a magic so exquisite that it could fool a 6th circle magician. If the opponent had been calm, he wouldn’t have been fooled so easily.

“uh?”

“What, what is it?”

“The enemy! A new one has appeared!”

The enemies only noticed Rodin’s presence after their 6th circle wizard died. It was too late.

“It turned out just as you wanted.”

Rodin felt relieved inside and immediately prepared the next spell.

The 6th circle wizard was dead, but there were still many enemies left. The longer they delayed, the more damage the allies would suffer.

“Chain Lightning.”

I wanted to use Lightning Field, but this magic wasn’t one that could attack enemies by distinguishing between them. Even if I used the magic with exquisite calculations like Rodin, I would still have to endure some damage to my allies.

So I used the 4-circle Chain Lightning. I calculated the angle of the lightning that spread every time it touched the magic, so that the lightning only spread to the enemy.

It was quite a tiring task, but it was worth it as long as safety was ensured as it is now.

“who?”

“Passenger.”

“Ah! Haa.”

A man with reddened arms approached and blocked the way. It was to prevent any enemies from approaching the wizard Rodin.

Rodin used his magic with ease, trusting the knight blocking his way.

“Lightning Bolt! Lightning Bolt!”

He continued to cast simple magic spells from the second circle. Every time a spell flew, the enemy knights trembled.

It wasn’t powerful enough to kill, but Rodin didn’t care. As long as he dealt moderate damage, his mercenaries could take care of the rest.

“Magic Arrow! Fire Arrow! Lightning Arrow! Hold! Wind Sickle! Ice Spear! Magic Arrow! Hold!”

He literally poured out magic from a not-so-high circle.

Since there was someone there to protect me, I was able to use magic without hesitation, as if I was practicing magic.

“Fireball!”

“Ugh!”

“Please give me a wizard….”

Then, when it seemed like the enemies had gathered together, he broke their formation with an explosive magic spell.

‘Wow, this one is pretty strong too.’

Rodin looked at the three members of the friendly formation and gave a strange look.

A male mercenary fighting an enemy who appears to be a knight commander. A female mercenary who is actively moving around in the midst of enemy knights, and even an ally who is steadily cutting down enemies who approach while blocking their path.

These three were the strongest among the friendly forces. Even Hedler and Rant, who had spent time with them in the training camp, were one level below them.

“Magic Arrow! Fire Arrow! Ice Bolt! Fire Wall! Wind Spear!”

Every time Rodin casted a spell, one enemy was damaged and was soon killed by his allies.

“Phew.”

“Thank you. Thanks to you, I won.”

“If that ship breaks down, I’ll be in trouble too.”

The battle was over. The wounded lay on the ground, groaning here and there.

“Anyway, thank you.”

“You’re hurt. Recover.”

Rodin used a 5-circle healing spell on the arm of the man who was guarding the front. Fortunately, the injury was not long ago, so one spell healed him quite a bit.

“Ah! You’re using healing magic.”

“Yes. But I’m a little tired. I guess I’ll go in.”

“Oh, did I hold you back? Please come in. Thank you again.”

Rodin boarded the ship with a tired face. He walked slowly across the deck and down to the cabin.

* * *

It had been a long time since I had fought a proper battle. It had been months since I had fought Commissioner Elov.

The magical power consumption wasn’t that great, but I was mentally quite exhausted. I felt like throwing everything away and going to a resort to rest.

But it was important not to let your guard down at times like this. When you think that you have reached your limit with exercise, isn’t it more effective to do it one more time?

Rodin also endured mental fatigue and attended Professor Fruval’s class.

The next morning, early in the morning, a sailor came to visit. He left a message saying that the captain and three other guests were inviting Rodin and his party, and disappeared.

“Larry, Bianca. Want to go get something to eat?”

“Can I not eat the jerky?”

“It seems so. Someone is inviting us.”

Originally, breakfast was not served on the ship this morning. A full meal was served starting today at lunchtime.

So I was thinking about eating some jerky and filling up my stomach today, when I happened to get an invitation.

“Huh? Where are you going?”

“Get dressed. Let’s go out.”

Larry and Bianca changed into the clothes Rodin had bought them earlier. Rodin had Undine wash them and left the cabin.

The place I was invited to was next to the captain’s cabin on the top floor.

The ship’s structure was complex, so it was difficult to find the way, but fortunately, a crew member guided us.

dripping!

“I brought guests.”

Crunch!

The door opened and the man who had hurt his arm yesterday appeared. Rodin smiled and bowed slightly, and Larry and Bianca greeted him as they had learned at home.

“Hello. I’m Marie’s daughter from upstairs… Oh, no.”

“Hahaha. Are you the wizard’s younger siblings?”

“Yes. I’m 12 and 10 this year.”

“Oh my, you’re so cute. Oh no, I was blocking the way. Come in.”

The man opened the way.

Rodin went inside with his brothers and sat down in an empty seat.

“Thank you for inviting me. I was worried that I’d have to eat beef jerky today.”

“You helped me yesterday, so I should do this much for you. First, eat something. It tastes better when you eat it while it’s warm.”

The meal has begun.

No one spoke during the meal. The meal was quiet except for the clanking of cutlery, and lasted for about thirty minutes.

As the meal was over, the sailors came in as if they had been waiting and took away the empty bowls. Then, a black liquid that seemed to be tea from the Central Continent was placed on the table.

“Try it. It’s the most popular tea in the Central Continent these days. I enjoy drinking it too.”

“Eww! Write it.”

Before the explanation was even finished, Bianca drank her tea first. And then she spat it out again as soon as she finished drinking it.

“Oh dear, that was too much for our young lady.”

“Use it.”

“How can she be so pretty?”

Sylvia, a diner at the top of the hedge, stroked Bianca’s head. Bianca closed her eyes tightly, feeling the touch.

“lol.”

“My little lady. From now on, you must listen to your older sister and grow up to be a good person. Do you understand?”

“yes?”

“Big.”

Rodin’s face crumpled at the word ‘sister’.

He put the hood of his robe back on, which he had taken off for a moment to eat, even more wrinkled than Bianca, who was frowning while drinking tea.

“It’s my brother.”

“what?”

“I’m a man. Brother Rodin is a man.”

“ah!”

Only then did the faces of the owners of this place become awkward. Sylvia looked apologetic and didn’t know what to do.

Rodin felt like his good mood had been ruined by the delicious food. Suddenly, he remembered what Hedler had said earlier this year.

‘Our Rodin. As you grow older, your beauty blossoms. If you keep doing this, you will become the most beautiful woman in the Kingdom of Riaz.’

Although he said it with a smile, Rodin was quite shocked at the time.

From that day on, I continued to use mirror image magic for several days, to the point where I practiced my manly expressions.

“sorry.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Rodin felt quite bad, but he didn’t want to get angry at this point. Even in his own opinion, his face didn’t look very manly.

It would be okay if she was simply feminine, but her face went beyond that level. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she had a face that was one of the most beautiful among women.

‘Voice change needs to come quickly. Voice change.’

I wanted to be treated as a man if I had a deep voice. So on the one hand, I was worried.

The time of puberty was not a very good time for a wizard.

There were many instances where the sudden increase in voice volume would interfere with the chanting of the runes. I had read about this in books and heard the same thing from Instructor Serion.

“We haven’t even gotten to say hello to each other since we were eating. I am the captain of this ship, and my name is Krondel. I have some swordsmanship experience, but my skills are lacking. Just think of me as an old man who has worked at the top of the hedges for a long time.”

“I’m Darren, a diner at the top of the hedge.”

“I am…….”

We were introduced to Captain Krondel and Darren, Jefferson, and Sylvia, the diners on the upper deck of the Hedges. Rodin also introduced himself as a wizard, and his two younger brothers also introduced themselves.

“Thank you so much for yesterday. If it weren’t for Wizard Rodin, it would have been dangerous.”

“That’s right. Especially Darren, thank you for fixing that guy’s arm. It could have been dangerous if the treatment had been delayed even a little bit.”

The name of the inspector who injured his arm yesterday was Darren. He had the same name as number 155, who had once challenged him at the special forces training camp.

Darren was in pretty bad shape yesterday. He was hit by a 6th circle wizard’s spell and was badly injured, and if the treatment had been delayed even a little, he would have lost the use of one of his arms.

“No, I was just doing what I had to do. I think there was a lot of damage yesterday.”

“Fortunately, only three mercenaries died. There are 21 wounded, but we are treating them little by little with potions.”

“I’ll help treat the wounded too. I know a bit of healing magic.”

“Ah! I was wondering how to ask you, but thank you for stepping up to help me.”

So breakfast is over.

We introduced ourselves to each other, but neither of us was interested enough to have a long conversation.
