10 – Ultimate Magic (3)

‘Hmm… Is that Mount Masu?’

After saying that I would solve the Masusan problem, I looked at the location of Masusan.

A big black mountain a little far from the kingdom. When I climbed up the watchtower of the kingdom and looked to the north, I saw a mountain that was definitely black and dark with demonic energy.

That must be what the king was talking about. I could immediately recognize it at a glance.

‘It’s bigger than I thought…’

Masusan, where I looked, honestly boasted that he would solve it well, but seeing it in person, it is also true that I am a little worried.

I couldn’t see Masu Mountain from where I was staying, so I didn’t know of Masu Mountain’s existence.

What the demon king of the previous generation left behind might be much greater than what I had originally expected.

‘To be honest, it might be a good idea to just leave here.’

If you think about why I have this attitude, it’s very natural.

A mountain where monsters are constantly created, but its width is very wide. At this scale, even if all the warriors’ party came, it might take more than a week to wipe out those monsters.

The warrior party, a group of the strongest people on the continent, and the fact that even such people took more than a week shows how wide the magic mountain is.

However, compared to the next problem, such a problem is only a fairly light problem.

The biggest problem with that demonic mountain was that even if it was wiped out, demonic beasts reappeared.

As long as that mountain is full of demonic energy, demonic beasts will continue to appear. Until the demonic energy disappears, it will continue to appear.

Just to be honest, it might be a much better choice to just abandon this kingdom.

In the first place, if such a magical mountain had started to activate, this area must have been dangerous in many ways.

Even if you’re not very strong right now, if you don’t pay attention to the monsters, they will become even stronger.

Because demonic beasts have a terrifying characteristic of gradually becoming stronger as time goes by.

‘But, if I do well, I might be able to solve it.’

It’s a really hopeless situation, but I might be able to solve this problem surprisingly easily.

Again, I must be the weakest among the four warriors.

When dealing with demons or beasts, my performance has always lagged behind them.

So it would be correct to say that I am the weakest in the warrior party. That thought has not changed at all even now.

However, I might be able to solve the Masu Mountain problem the easiest out of the four if I do well.

‘Let’s develop magic…’

If this place were a battlefield, I wouldn’t have been very active.

Because it’s a battlefield, there are a lot of things to take care of. But this wasn’t a battlefield.

That’s why I might be able to use some special magic.

Originally, it is a very, very inefficient magic that I would never use on the battlefield, a magic that would never be used and existed only in my head, but I intend to develop and use that magic once.

Finally, fortunately, the conditions here were perfectly equipped to implement the magic I was thinking of.

“The preparations are in place.”

Looking up at the sky, I smiled. I wonder if it’s a revelation from God telling me to use this at this point.

“Okay. Let’s get started.”

If you made up your mind to do it, there was no time to delay.

I ran straight home. And, preparations were made to develop magic.

Princess Lucy, when she heard that her father had fallen today, it felt like the sky was falling.

His caring father and the king of this country, it was absolutely unacceptable for such a father to leave.

Of course, fortunately, her own father was not seriously injured, but the shock she received was too great.

‘When my father said he was hurt, my eyes really went dark…’

I couldn’t do anything because of it. Ever since she was in shock, she’s been locked in her room all alone.

Princess Lucy was still too weak to endure the fear that her father might die.

She wasn’t strong enough to take on those things yet.

‘Calm down. I shouldn’t be like this.’

But I know that I shouldn’t sit still.

Now, the King of the Al Prada Kingdom is in a state of recuperation, and in that state, what can she say if she, as a princess, is dying like this and not doing anything?

As the legitimate heir to this kingdom, she feels she has to fulfill her responsibilities.

‘Xeras is using his strength like this…!’

Also, Xerath, the wizard of the Warriors Party, who is now a guest in the kingdom, was trying to help out like that even though he had nothing to do with this kingdom.

After all, he is just an outsider who has absolutely nothing to do with Alprada Kingdom. He was helping as if he were doing his own thing.

But she was a princess, so it was such a shame that she was frustrated like this. She was so she had to move. She had to do what she could on her own.

‘Let’s work hard to assist Xerath.’

And that must be helping Xerath diligently. Xerath, who has been locked in his room for several hours now, doing something. He was preoccupied with something without eating.

Apparently, he was developing some kind of magic, but because of that, he was skipping meals and working hard.

To help him like that, he’ll have to give him something to eat. Xerath will relish his own food. Thinking so, Lucy got up and worked briefly while he quickly made edible rice balls.

“Zerath. Do you want to eat this?”

“Uh. Thank you. I was hungry and it turned out well. I’ll be grateful.”

After making all the rice balls, I entered the room with Xerath.

Zerath was busy writing something on a piece of paper while looking through magic books that were difficult to read. Apparently he was quite busy. He didn’t even look at Lucy, and he went on working.

‘What kind of magic formula are they making?’

As she placed the plate of rice balls on the empty desk, Lucy glanced at the things Xerath was writing.

When Luci also went to study in the Empire, he had experience learning even the basics of magic.

Because of that, he didn’t know that what Xerath was doing was ‘writing magic’. Apparently, Xerath seemed to be developing magic.

Then what kind of magic are they developing? Having such doubts, Lucy looked more closely at the paper Xerath had written, but unfortunately, with her shallow magical knowledge, she could not see through Xerath’s magic formula.

‘It would be a nuisance to ask.’

But what was certain was that he was working on some really great magic. It was so great magic that I couldn’t even read the first line.

She looked at them and briefly considered asking Xerath, but Lucy decided not to.

Zerath seemed very focused, so I couldn’t disturb him. It seemed good to trust him now that he would solve the Masusan problem.

“Whoa…”

After the errands were over, Lucy went out to visit.

And waited for him again calmly outside the door. He will come out of the door when the time is right, so we decided to wait together like this.

‘Someday, this grace must be repaid.’

As I waited, for some reason, my gratitude for Xerath surged.

Thinking about it, it felt like I was only indebted to him until now.

He also solved the drought that struck this kingdom, and he was now looking for a solution to the Masusan problem.

And that wasn’t all.

‘If my father hadn’t been Xerath…’

According to later reports, Xerath once gave one of his magic items to his father.

Such a magic item that could save his life in case of emergency, and it is said that his father saved his life thanks to that item.

If it wasn’t for Xerath, the king might have been torn to death by demon beasts. When I thought so, tears came to my eyes again.

If he hadn’t had a little more luck, if he hadn’t had Xerath, his father would die and the kingdom might perish.

If you want to find the reason why it doesn’t work, it must be thanks to a wizard named Xerath who came to this kingdom.

Thanks to that, it seems that the predestined fate has changed so much. I was so grateful for the existence of the wizard Xerath, who kindly took care of the kingdom as if it were his own.

I was so grateful to Xerath that I had to repay this favor for the rest of my life.

“Ugh… I can’t sleep.”

Honestly, her stamina was at her limit. She fell asleep for some reason.

Thinking about it, I was very tired today. She enjoyed the festival enthusiastically, and was quite heartbroken at the news that her father was injured, and there were many emotional changes.

So naturally tired, she tried not to fall asleep. Because I wanted to wait for Xerath. However, she couldn’t overcome her drowsiness, and she fell asleep soundly in front of Xerath’s door.

.

And how much time has passed?

She must have slept for an hour or two? She couldn’t help but wake up.

“It’s done…! It’s finally done…!”

The door of Xerath, who was next to her, opened abruptly.

He was screaming with joy.

“Lucy. Follow me. I’ll get rid of Masusan right now.”

It seems that Xerath has succeeded in developing magic.
