I Became the Dark Wizard Who Rules Over the Heroines - Chapter 79



79 – Flame-6

‘Oh my.’

To begin with, the atmosphere was not good. I also didn’t expect her to shoot her arrow until I finished speaking.

I had to realize it with just a hint. Seeing her arrow and dodging it was unrealistic, and seeing the bow aimed at me and dodging it was not very likely either.

The difference in physical abilities is enormous. She is a talented human even among the elves who have lived for a long time, and she is a woman whose power has been strengthened with demonic energy.

Even when Katarin and Kelin burned down the forest, he was the one who could have threatened their lives if he was fully prepared.

In order to avoid Carbossa’s arrows, one had to be in deeper doubt and tension than a rabbit running away after seeing the shadow of a lion.

You have to look into the eyes. You have to read her feelings. The moment Carbossa made the decision to ‘kill him with an arrow,’she had to blow her body right away-

“Pfft!”

The sound of an arrow cutting through the wind barely passed by my waist.

“Did you… Avoid this?”

Carbossa looked at me with a puzzled look.

“How did it happen?”

I have already fought once with an enemy who had overwhelming speed compared to me.

Of course, arrows and swords are different, but it doesn’t change the fact that either one is overwhelming compared to my physical abilities.

That experience was a great help to me.

‘This must be stopped!’

You need to make a plan with your eyes, not your hands. If you don’t have a plan and an enemy attack approaches, you should block it without trying to avoid it.

This attack had no choice but to be stopped.

“The arrows are a bit sharp, aren’t they?”

“This guy…”

I laughed and mocked Carbossa after blocking her arrows with her defensive magic, but I knew that I was not in an advantageous situation.

‘You’re stuck.’

My shield couldn’t deflect her arrows. Soon, flames rose from the arrow.

“This, this!”

Lilian shouted in surprise when she saw the fire burning in front of her.

“Now, Elder! What the hell is this…”

“It’s a shame for you. But… It’s something that can’t be helped.”

Carbossa took up the bow again.

“I tried to burn it. I will burn it. Everything.”

The arrow is burning.

The black flames burn together with my demonic energy. The fire spreads to the earth.

“No one will be able to interfere with that.

I could be sure. This is not ‘agreement’.

I’m not sure how much it was planned, but this method is too risky.

‘Neither Wilhelm nor Catherine would want this.’

It was not a clean assassination. The barely extinguished flames were gushing out from her arrow

‘The situation is spreading. At this rate, no one will be able to make excuses…!’

People often think, ‘If it’s a ‘hero’s party’ of such an ambiguous level, wouldn’t it be better to just send a few executives to finish it off?’

It was definitely a possible strategy, but it was difficult to see it as efficient.

‘It looks like the plan went quite awry…’

If Katharine had started this job alone, there was no way she would have tried to entangle me with this level of clumsy plot.

Even if I knew about it, it would have been carried out step by step, outside of my field of vision, at a level of ingenuity that I could not be certain of.

He would have tried to entangle me by presenting evidence of a crime that ‘had to be me’ in front of countless citizens of Córdoba, and by mobilizing perfectly prepared black magic on a stage perfectly prepared for me.

Or, maybe they didn’t fight at all. That doesn’t mean she’s defeated.

Losing her battles and winning her wars was something she had done countless times against her princess. She would have pushed me forward, generously spending ample resources, time, offerings, and sacrifices on the operation.

However, in Córdoba, Catherine failed to show such movement. The plan was nothing short of ordinary, and the other executives did not have the patience that Katarin had.

If Wilhelm had undertaken this operation alone, he would not have used such a long and tedious method.

I am a warlock. It is not uncommon for a rampaging Inquisitor to cut down a warlock or two.

And, they are skilled at finding evidence after killing a warlock. And a warlock who has not committed a crime is as difficult to find as a ‘clean wild dog.’

Except for a few warlocks belonging to the Empire, who have committed a crime in some way and have gained power and proven to be able to use a certain level of black magic, you can find evidence if you kill and rob them even if you go out of your way to do so.

That too must have been threatening.

From noble mtl dot come

If, in broad daylight, fairly, in full view of everyone, you raise a made-up accusation against me and immediately pull out your sword and try to summarily execute me.

At least in Córdoba, there is no one to defend me when such a dramatic situation occurs. ‘Is it really true that Wade did something bad?’ Although there are people who doubt me, there is no one who cares enough about me to point a knife in front of an enraged Wilhelm.

That may not be enough, but it places quite a few restrictions on my actions.

If you meekly accept his capture of him, you will of course be killed by having your head cut off, and even if you refuse and fight, things will not go as you want.

Cordoba’s knights and wizards could have been swayed by the atmosphere and entered the war to kill me, and even if they defeated Wilhelm and all the Holy Knights there, killing them would be a very risky act.

Just because the warlock killed Lord Wilhelm, the ‘honorable inquisitor and paladin’, the paladin and believers all over the world would have tried to catch and kill all the warlocks.

Whether they succeed or fail, the conflict grows. Cornered warlocks will make contracts not for ‘their wealth, health, or power,’ but for ‘revenge.’

They would have gained the devil’s cooperation by sacrificing their arms, legs, and sometimes their necks, which would fall off if they remained still.

The only way to avoid that situation was to run away. That wasn’t an easy task either.

Because the Inquisition was made up of people who chased down fleeing warlocks dozens or hundreds of times.

‘Even with Carbosara… The situation wouldn’t have been much different.’

She is an expert in ‘hurting’. Her her her her players her her her, who fought her in her her games her her her, often referred to her as ‘her harder opponent’than her her her her cadre her her her , who was brute forcefully much stronger than her her her her her Carbossa her her her.

The level of assassins wasn’t that great, but if my party had just a little more, it could have become more dangerous.

As the party grows, I cannot control their every action and ensure everyone’s safety.

Carbossa was an elf who had a knack for killing such people. Anytime, anywhere, you must be prepared for Carbossa’s arrows to fly towards the party’s weakest point.

Fighting and winning in itself is somehow worth doing, but leaving irreparable scars on the party is the best.

If there were no restrictions or promises, the young daughter and the weak monarch would have been treated as if they were assassinated.

‘The plan seems to have gone awry?’

As they constantly blocked and dodged arrows, I thought of the next strategy they could choose.

‘…Survivor!’

If I can save them and use even one of them as a witness, the possibility of me being framed is greatly reduced.

Katharine’s plan was to ruin my reputation. The Inquisition is about my reputation, my power, and redemption. I wanted two modes.

“Kelyn, Claire, Lilian. Run away. I will block the attack from behind, so take as many survivors as possible and escape.”

So, it was better for them to give this order. No, I had no choice but to get off.

‘To fight properly… I also need some preparation,”

“Leave you alone?”

Claire shouted urgently.

Right now, I wasn’t the only one blocking the elves’ arrows.

The magi created by Claire in layers played a significant role in blocking Carbossa’s onslaught.

“Yes. Kelin, tell Katharine. It’s your last chance. Also, the matter with Lilian. Both you and Katarin will have to resolve it.”

“…Okay. Claire, let’s go.”

“Uh… Huh?”

“We are hindering him! Quickly!”

Perhaps noticing the change in the situation, Carbossa turned his eyes and started shooting arrows at Claire.

“Where!”

I built a defensive wall to block the arrows. I couldn’t rest.

Once the arrow was blocked, the mass of magical energy became hotter and hotter, turning into black lava-like heat and a wisp of smoke.

“I admit it. It’s quite strong. As expected, it has enough power to hinder the cause.”

“Not much to say.”

“So… I understand for sure. I will drive you out of here, you alone. Let’s see if you can withstand the barrage of arrows forever.

What you need to be most careful about when dealing with Carbossa is that non-combatants who thought they were in a safe position will ‘disappear’ with a single arrow.

Hitting the weaker one first was the basis of fighting, but Carbossa went too far. If you miss the slightest bit of tension, an arrow will be inserted as if it were nothing, as if to say, ‘Why did you miss the tension?’

The moment you deploy someone who is not talented in combat, like Claire before she became a dark priest, they will die as soon as Carbossa sees them.

“Meet Catherine. As soon as you see the strange Inquisition grandfather, run away. I believe it!”

“Yes!”

Kelin and Claire ran toward the back.

“…It turned out to be funny.”

‘Ordinary arrows won’t work. Although I proved it…’

“The delay would be meaningless. From now on, I will go with all my heart.”

Carbossa glared at me with fierce eyes.
