Episode 16

You’re alone

‘The physique is similar, but the magic power pattern is different… Ah, you said you obtained a branch of the World Tree.’

Rael has never seen Reina perform magic after obtaining a branch of the World Tree.

If that’s the case, then the different magic patterns would also be explained.

‘Why is that crazy elf here?’

Once I realized it, it now seemed completely like Reina.

She confronted Bennett while wearing a mask and hood over her head.

‘Did you hear that Bennett was getting the World Tree branches? But I don’t think he always gets the World Tree branches like this…’

If we had fought and obtained the branches of the World Tree by now, Reina would not have become a debtor.

The elves who came to Reina also told her that they had cut off the supply of branches from the World Tree.

‘I guess I’ll have to catch Bennett first and then ask him.’

If it was an internal strife, he would have just watched, but Rael was not the type of person to just sit back and watch while his acquaintances fought.

Kuung-

Kkaddeuk-

While Rael was pondering, the two’s magical powers clashed.

Reina’s refined magical power spreading around was more powerful than expected.

They say that if you regain your strength with the branches of the World Tree, the elves won’t be able to touch you, and that wasn’t an exaggeration.

“···.”

“Reveal your identity! Are you a cult spy?”

However, Bennett, who was dealing with Reyna, did not stay still.

A shadowy black magic surged around his body.

A thick darkness enveloped Bennett, as if black ink had been dropped on a piece of paper.

It was the power of an evil spell.

Kwaang-! Taang-!

Every time Bennett waved his arms around the darkness, the power of sorcery weighed down on Reina.

‘The curse sorcerer… he was using the branches of the world tree to cast a curse.’

Reina gritted her teeth and unleashed her magic.

Hwaaak-

The magic of the blue forest began to slowly eat away at the power of sorcery.

With every step Reina took, it felt like the fragrant forest was moving.

“T, this is······ an elf! What the hell! You over there! If you want to get paid, help me!”

An elf blessed by the forest and a sorcerer are like polar opposites.

Bennett, who was increasingly falling behind, asked Lael for help.

Rael thought for a moment, then opened his eyes wide and said.

“Hey, is there no other support? Send a rescue request to the guys you’re working with!”

And then he answered in an urgent voice.

Acting was one of Rael’s specialties, even though he came from the streets.

“There’s no such thing as support! If you don’t help me right now, that elf will take away the branches of the World Tree!”

Bennett shouted as he backed away from the elf’s magic.

It was clear that the elves had come to retrieve the branches of the World Tree. If they weren’t dealt with immediately, they might be chased by the entire elven tribe.

“Aha… So you’re alone?”

Sling-

After hearing Bennett’s words, Rael was finally able to draw his sword with peace of mind.

“You should have told me earlier.”

Strength goes into the wrist holding the sword.

The senses of your whole body become sharper, and the acceleration of your consciousness becomes faster.

“Then I would have killed him earlier.”

Rael, leaping out like a wild beast, rushed towards Bennett.

The sword shining in the moonlight aimed for the opponent’s neck.

“Hey, these little pieces of trash!”

Although it was a sudden attack, Bennett’s reaction was also quick.

Kyaaang-!

A curse that shimmered like a black fog enveloped Bennett, and Rael’s sword bounced off an invisible, steel-like barrier.

At that moment, a bundle of sharp curses shot out of the fog and aimed at Rael’s chest.

A curse filled with murderous intent to kill the opponent.

Rael cursed lightly and dug inside.

“It’s obvious, it’s obvious. Those sorcerers have the same pattern.”

Phew!

I thrust my sword through the gap in the fog created by the curse.

“Kuaaaah!”

Rael immediately pulled out his sword and stepped back.

The unpleasant sensation lingering at the tips of my fingers was evidence that I had cut through bone and flesh.

“Ugh, I feel sick.”

I shook off the hand that had sunk deep into the curse.

Judging by the tingling sensation on her skin, it was clear that she was using some strange trick.

“You’re still fine even after being touched by my curse…! You’re not human either!”

Bennett shouted, clutching his bleeding left arm.

Breaking through the cursed barrier, it was clear that the masked man was also of a different race.

“Think whatever you want.”

Rael smiled, the corners of his lips raised at the pressure on his body.

The senses sharpened by the battle made me feel a sense of elation throughout my body.

This was his second time meeting the sorcerer, but the curse did not work properly on him.

‘What the heck is going on? Aren’t those two on the same side?’

Meanwhile, Reina, wearing a mask, was bewildered by the sudden battle taking place before her eyes.

I was going to catch Bennett first and then take care of the other one, but they suddenly started fighting each other.

‘The urgent one is Bennett.’

There is no way a human being who saves a branch of the world tree is normal.

As one of the elves protecting the elven tribe, he must capture Bennett.

Reina leapt into battle, summoning the magic of the forest.

“Fuck…! Fuck!”

Bennett began to search through his bosom, unable to hide his agitation.

It was clear that the two had planned to attack together from the beginning. Furthermore, the masked man was hiding his strength, so he was much stronger than himself.

If things continue like this, there’s no way I can escape alive.

Crunch-!

Bennett took something out of his bosom and held it tightly.

Black flames were burning the long object in his hand.

At the same time, the form of the curse began to grow stronger.

‘finger?’

Lael frowned as he looked at Bennett’s hand.

His momentum has become incomparably stronger than before.

“Are you using a human finger as a medium for curses? That’s why those damned witches feel bad… Tsk.”

The cursed wind flowing out of Bennett’s body shook the abandoned factory.

Abandoned magic tools began to be torn apart and windows began to break.

Lael also took a small step back as the small typhoon swept by.

‘··· blood?’

A drop of blood flowed from the back of Rael’s hand.

It looks like a piece of glass that had fallen on the floor bounced up and brushed my hand.

Although it was a phenomenon created by a curse, if the phenomenon had physical power, it could have also caused damage to Rael’s body.

‘I can’t afford to waste any more time…!’

After seeing Bennett’s spell, Reina unleashed the blessing of the forest.

She squinted one eye and let out a blast of magic.

Since I hadn’t yet fully accepted the power of nature coming from the branches of the World Tree, a proper battle was a burden.

However, I cannot give you more time.

Curses mediated by the human body become stronger over time.

I had to see the end before that.

Boom-!

A loud noise erupted from the front, along with scattered curses.

Reyna has covered Bennet’s curse with elven magic.

The curse that collided with the elf’s magic exploded, spreading an ominous aura.

Lael, who was on the other side, watched the curse until the end and slowly approached the bastard.

“Die! I said die!”

Using the fingers of the children I had collected so far, I was able to stand on equal terms with the elves, but I had to keep an eye on the swordsman approaching from behind.

The bastard was getting closer and closer, skillfully dodging the curses.

‘How do you narrow the gap…!’

As Rael approached, trying to avoid the winds of curse, Bennett couldn’t help but become impatient.

Because he had to deal with both Reyna and Rael at the same time.

“Ahhhhhhh!”

And impatience created mistakes.

A tearing scream filled the abandoned factory.

Lael’s sword dug into the gap left by the curse and cut off Bennett’s left hand.

The fingers he had been holding tightly fell to the floor, and the power of the curse weakened noticeably.

“This, this son of a bitch···!

Red, bloodshot eyes glared at Rael.

“If I fail anyway, I’ll die…! I’ll take you with me!”

Gulp-

Tears of blood streamed from Bennett’s eyes.

He poured out spells and curses on Rael that burned his life force.

“Die nicely, kid.”

Naturally, the curse did not reach Rael.

Compared to the curse of the Demon King, this isn’t even that ticklish.

“W-That’s ridiculous. You even managed to block the curse of the Demon Tribe. What on earth are you…!”

Bennett’s eyes opened wide.

He sacrificed his life force to borrow strength from the demons.

Even if the opponent wasn’t human, it shouldn’t be possible to stop the magic.

Crunch-

However, there was no chance for Bennett’s questions to be answered.

A swift sword that seemed to tear through space split the black shadow in two.

*

Reina swallowed hard.

The inspector who had completely cut off the curse was now looking at himself.

“···.”

Reina seemed nervous and summoned her magic.

Even she, who has come into contact with the branches of the World Tree and received the blessings of the forest, is an enemy she must be wary of.

The opponent cut down the sorcerer who had been on par with him until just now with a single sword.

It is clear that he is a very strong person.

‘what?’

Lael, who had cut down Bennett, turned his head and looked at Reyna.

She still exuded hostility.

I guess they thought it was a temporary alliance.

Rael opened his mouth before the misunderstanding became unnecessarily prolonged.

“Raina.”

“Huh? Huh?”

Reina, who had been wearing a mask and not saying a word, let out a flustered voice.

Rael took off his mask first, revealing his face.

“What on earth are you doing here?”

“Ra, Rael? No. No…! How did you know it was me?”

“How would you know? There’s no way you wouldn’t recognize me if I covered my face.”

“What, what does that mean?!”

Reina lowered her mask in embarrassment.

Only then were they able to see each other’s faces.

She should have been flustered, not knowing that she would meet them in a place like this, but somehow Reina felt relieved and put her magic to rest.

“Now, tell me. What were you doing tonight? You’re not hunting every night to get branches of the World Tree, are you?”

“··· It’s because of the bounty.”

“what?”

“There’s a bounty on the person who can get the World Tree branch… I came here to catch him! Rather than using the World Tree branch for evil, I’d rather use it myself!”

Rael frowned after hearing Reina’s words.

“Bounty… Are you really a bounty hunter?”

“··· I fought hard too, so you’re going to share the bounty with me?”

“I didn’t come here for the bounty?”

In the first place, I have no intention of becoming a bounty hunter now that I don’t have a Gaksital mask.

It’ll be annoying if you keep following me around for no reason.

“Then why did you fight with him? … Are you the bad guy who raised the price of the World Tree branches?!”

“Don’t talk nonsense. Bennett tried to kill my friends. Take the entire bounty for yourself. Don’t prepare to fight, I have no intention of attacking you.”

“I, I didn’t mean to do that. Sorry···.”

“Okay. It’s not your fault. It’s the fault of the world that made it this way.”

I can forgive you because you immediately put your magic to sleep when you saw my face.

Lael put his sword back into its scabbard and approached Bennett’s body.

Just before he died, his body had already begun to rot because he had burned all his life force while casting a curse.

“Reina. I’ll take care of this body. You’re not worried about me, not even an elf, are you?”

“I don’t think so!”

“That’s good. By the way, where did you get your bounty? Weren’t you being chased by the elves?”

“··· From the Zaid Mercenary Corps.”

“What? Why do you work with such baseless kids? You won’t even pay them properly.”

Zaid’s gang.

These are the guys I trained last time when they flirted with Priest Cecilia at Miss Sarah’s inn.

If you get caught by me, the Ace Guard Captain, it means your usual behavior is not good.

“There was no other place that would accept me.”

“···.”

Reina said with an expression that seemed like she had given up.

When I saw that sight, I felt so sorry for it that I couldn’t just ignore it.

“From now on, go to the place I introduce to you. My name is Uncle Eric, and he’s a nice guy. I told you in advance, so if you say, ‘I’m an elf introduced by Rael,’ he’ll understand.”

“Me, really?”

“Have you been living a life of deception?”

“Why are you being so nice to me? Ho, even if I pretend to help you and ask you about the location of the World Tree Forest or about rumors of treasure passed down among the elves, you never tell me?!”

Reina’s eyes filled with tears.

It looks so vivid that it is definitely an experience story.

‘How many times have I been treated like a fool···.’

Why on earth is this world so heartless?

Reina, who had tasted the warm K-love, looked at Rael as if she was about to burst into tears at any moment.

Since the only thing that the gentlemanly Rael was weak against was women’s tears, Rael had to stop his pointless thoughts and try to appease Reina.

“Then see you tomorrow. Rael···.”

“Don’t let it be taken away. Go home quickly.”

It was only after I gave Reina the branch of the World Tree that I had acquired in order to trade with Bennett that I was able to calm her down.

‘I’ll have to get the money back later.’

Lael looked at Bennett’s body in the quiet abandoned factory.

The sword that cut the curse in two also left a mark on the floor.

‘Okay. Now it’s going to follow the original flow.’

The protagonist’s performance at the Academy may be reduced by one, but that won’t tarnish his reputation.

That’s what a protagonist is.

‘··· I really hope so.’

Of course, everything is a story of possibility and Rael’s wish.

I wish the useless work would end here.

Ssuk-

Rael took the sect’s membership card and identity badge from Bennett’s arms and dragged Bennett outside the abandoned factory.

And a corner of an abandoned factory where no one has come into contact.

The red eyes buried in the black magic slowly closed.
