How the Shadow of the Marquis Lives - How the Shadow of the Marquis Lives chapter 125

Chapter 125

Cedric Balnor was once a mage of the Flame Tower.

He wasn’t very considerate, but he didn’t harm others, and he was a typical scholar type who only focused on his own research rather than others.

It was only after he reached the level of a Master and glimpsed his own image that he began to change.

Faced with his own image, Cedric’s passion for learning has developed in a different direction since then.

I want to have all the fire in this world.

To him who had such a desire, the Flame Magic Tower was like a cramped shackle. Because all the flames that could be seen there were only one that descended from the vision of the Flame Magic Tower.

So he betrayed the Flame Magic Tower and began to travel around the world, and soon learned of the existence of the Dark Magic Tower and committed himself to it.

I wondered what the flames of hell would be like.

– Hwareuk!

The arrows of the blue flame that Allen caused rushed towards Cedric. He didn’t avoid it, he took it with his body.

A blue flame burning in Cedric’s chest.

But Cedric, far from suffering, looked down at it with an expression of rapture.

“That’s the ancient spirit fire the bastard was talking about.”

I performed a ritual in the Dark Magic Tower and made a contract with a fire demon.

Among the things the devil said was something about Altima. There is a blue flame spirit with the power of purification.

Along the way, he wandered in search of an ancient spirit.

Five years later, he visited the village where Allen’s family lived. At the same time, that day was the day the village was annihilated.

―Oops.

Allen gnashed his teeth. The enemy is right in front of you, close enough to catch and slit his throat, but his flames do not reach.

For what reason have you been training yourself up until now?

Following the will of his father who raised him, he joined Cheondo-maeng to eventually catch his enemies and take revenge.

However, with him in front of him, he was helpless.

“I heard that it is a warlock, but it is not demonic power.”

Beside him, Xian aimed his sword at him.

It’s like Ban’s story, and from Allen’s reaction, it’s clear that he’s from the Dark Magic Tower. However, he did not feel the energy of hell like other warlocks.

Cedric smiled at the sight of such a proposal.

“That devil ate the fire and then extinguished it.”

Xian’s eyes narrowed. fire demon. You don’t know how strong of a demon he was with that alone.

However, if he was to the extent of attempting to descend to the ground, he would not be a weakling at all. Wouldn’t it be at least equal to Hector?

If you unilaterally defeated such a demon.

‘It’s completely different from other warlocks.’

When fighting Andras, he was a guy who only showed off the power he received rather than polishing his own strength.

When fighting the original Hector, who was not the Thunderbolt Lord, he had honed his strength for 20 years in the Thunder Demon Tower, but in the end, he was a guy who relied on the power of the Thunderbolt Lord.

Neither of them were very difficult opponents.

But Cedric is different. He defeated the demon with his own power, and absorbed that power intact.

Rather than relying on the power of hell, it would be more correct to say that the master has even used the power of hell.

“Don’t say anything that hurts your mouth any more. It would be quicker to kill them all and take them.”

Saying that, Cedric raised his hand.

Huge fireworks exploded in the air and countless meteors began to fall on the city.

Kwakwagwagwang!

The wooden fence, which had been erected firmly, was broken like branches, and all the buildings were burned down.

And at this spot, the most fireballs fell one after another toward Allen.

Seeing Allen gritting his teeth and opening the curtain of blue fire, Cedric smiled.

An ancient spirit’s flame. I don’t know if it’s using all its strength, but it’s much weaker than I imagined.

He wouldn’t be able to stop his own meteor like that.

when you think so

[ Sword spirit (劍靈) – Changhae (蒼海) ]

A sword embracing water cut through the air, and all the fireballs rushing in were cut and exploded.

Kwakwagwagwang!

Cedric’s and Xian’s eyes met through the rising steam.

“A kid.”

Seeing Xian’s eyes, Cedric’s mouth twitched.

* * *

falling meteor. Humans and ants were equally swept away by the exploding flames, and a hellish landscape unfolded.

“It’s annoying, so get out of here.”

Glaring at Xian, Cedric kicked the queen ant at her feet.

The helplessly fallen queen ant shook her head and ran to kill the screaming people.

Before long, she grabbed the back of the head of the knight who was about to cut down the ant. When trying to stab an awl with that head.

Kang!

A dagger protruding from the side cut off her awl.

-Kiruk?

Ergé’s dagger pierced the neck of the queen ant, who looked back in displeasure.

Meanwhile, Hector was defending the residents by intercepting ants and falling fireballs.

‘Sheesh. Why am I doing this?’

He had no reason to go around protecting people. Neither compatriots nor acquaintances.

Still, since Xian had instructions, he had no choice but to follow them.

‘… … .’

Seeing Xian confront Cedric, he narrowed his eyes.

If there is no instruction, there is no reason to protect it, and Xian is the same.

Xian put many restrictions on him, but none of them were like risking his life to come to his aid when Xian was in danger.

‘I might die.’

The aura that emanated from Cedric was considerable, even to Hector himself. To be honest, it was hard to be confident of victory, let alone now, even with my body in hell.

Maybe Xian will die here today.

In that case, you will be free.

‘Hey, when things get tough, he’ll ask for help.’

He never intended to volunteer to help. I just silently refine the thunderbolt and deal with the ants.

Even so, Hector’s gaze was periodically looking towards Xi’an.

―Quaang!

Cedric’s flame and Allen’s flame collide.

The difference in power was evident. Allen’s flame was helplessly pushed back.

However, in the gap, Xian stepped on the wreckage of the collapsed house and jumped into the air where Cedric was.

Charleuk!

The spear that was freed from his hand fell down to cut Cedric in one blow.

Cedric, who was about to finish off Allen, had no choice but to duck and hide.

[Daeyeomwi(大炎威) – Explosion(爆碎)]

Kwakwagwagwang!

In the meantime, Allen’s bombardment fell on Cedric, who was shaken.

At the same time, Xian changed his sword into thunder and struck down thunder.

“These worms!”

Cedric turned and spread his hands out in a flutter. From that hand came a blue flame similar to Allen’s.

A flame full of the energy of death, the exact opposite of Allen’s blue flame, although similar in color.

The flame in his right hand offset Allen’s explosion, and the flame in his left hand tried to block Xian’s lightning strike.

Paperweight!

“… … .”

He hurriedly waved his arms as he saw the sword falling as it split the flames.

Then, as the flames spun, Xian’s sword deflected to the side.

Cyan and Cedric’s eyes met as they fell with the sword.

‘This way is much more dangerous!’

Cedric, who grasped it in an instant, put his hands together and created a circular flame. Compressed and compressed, the vermilion flame that even became dense.

‘Ravi.’

‘yes?’

‘Hold on well.’

‘Ooh, ooh?’

I changed the puzzled Ravi into a secret sword and launched it into the air. And Xian stepped on the sword and jumped.

“… … !”

Cedric was frightened.

I was relieved to see the falling swordsman and preparing for a big technique, but how could I have known that I would do a double jump in the air!

Leaving behind Ravi, who was indignant at being suddenly stepped on, Xian pulled out the sword ring from the engraving and swung it at Cedric once again.

‘The moment when a wizard is most vulnerable.’

Neither the moment the order was started nor the moment it was completed, but in the middle. When you’re in the middle of ordering.

There is still a lot left to complete, but scattering the accumulated mana right away carries its own risks.

Xian’s sword stabbed between them.

“Ah!”

Cedric had managed to pull himself out somehow. But there couldn’t be any damage. One arm was torn open and blood gushed out.

“Altima!”

“huh!”

There is no way Allen will miss that opportunity. Arrows of blue flame he made embroidered the air and fell on the wounded Cedric.

Cian, who landed on the ground, also did not slow down the attack.

black sword.

He held the sword in his hand, which was the most basic and most optimized for Xian’s own swordsmanship.

Xi’an gathered the aura and struck the thunderbolt.

―Kwagwagwagwagwang!

Allen’s blue flames and Xian’s sword aura pour toward the fallen Cedric.

Cedric had no way to avoid it.

“die! die!!”

Instead of just one attack, Allen kept pouring out flames. There was no hesitation in his hands, as if it was okay to waste all the remaining power of the clear stream.

The anger, hatred, and resentment contained in it. All of those emotions became sharp spears that pierced Cedric.

“Kuaa!”

But he wasn’t going to be beaten that much. Mana overflowed from Cedric’s enraged body, and white flames began to erupt.

That white flame sucked in all the flames Allen poured out and grew even bigger.

“Damn the kids!”

The flame extracted from the demon of white flame that had dwelled in him in the past.

As he absorbed Allen’s flame, Cedric’s eyes widened as he wrapped himself in a white flame that grew even larger.

Soon, his white flame increased in size like a wave that would sweep over the entire city.

Allen’s flames, other humans’ auras, and even the ants were overwhelmed by the waves of white flames and were pushed away.

at that time.

“… … !”

Because there was the only one who broke through the white waves and climbed back.

‘It’s not the devil himself, but he can’t be shackles.’

It was Xian holding a black sword.

His sword cut through the white flame, sucking back the energy of hell contained therein and rushing at Cedric.

“You bastard!”

squeak.

Xian’s sword cut through Cedric’s neck as he screamed.

graves of giants.

There was a newcomer in the place where the ants’ sudden jolts made a fuss.

‘What is this?’

An old man wearing a black hood stepped forward with a questioning expression.

Even though this place is the land of monsters, it wasn’t this messed up.

The ground was in chaos, as if all the ants that had been active deep in the burrow had come up.

‘There’s no way the impact of the war will reach here… … .’

It is clear that there is something.

The old man made his way through the ants with a hard expression.

The destination is Keldwin. Given the circumstances, it was most likely that the person he was looking for was there.

‘If the beginning is like this, it won’t be a fuss either. I hope it’s not annihilated… … .’

The old man stepped forward, setting fire to the swarm of ants in front of him.

The blood-red flame burned all the ants it encountered.
