Episode 218: The Blood Baragi (2)

Could it be that the young man had called him separately, that is, that he was an ally? He wanted to share the fairy together. Gaunt looked at the young man with a little hope.

And then he saw in the young man that he had caught a red-handed man with an expression and gaze that was almost identical to his own. He immediately realized that he was an uninvited guest who had never been invited.

“Brave Mercenaries, right?”

Galen, who had been looking back and forth between the young man and Gaunt’s group, soon turned his gaze to Gaunt and asked. Instead of answering hastily, Gaunt thought about it furiously.

“You asked if it was correct. Ten people. I think it’s correct since you said nine for each captain.”

Since he flew through the sky, he is probably a wind wizard. Silver is not capable of proper flight, so at least gold. Judging by his speed, he is probably a top tier wizard.

But it was an unfamiliar face. Even though he was a mercenary who was well-versed in the situation, he had memorized the impressions of all the golden wizards active in the northwest.

No, even if you expand the scope to the entire world, not just the Northwest, it would be the same. Even from a prestigious family, it was really rare to find someone so young and golden. That was why he was so famous, and there were no wind magicians among them.

As my thoughts reached that point, the answer came naturally.

“…no way.”

The youngest gem wizard who appeared out of nowhere like a comet, with fame rapidly spreading recently.

His main focus is water magic, but for some reason he is also learning other types of magic. It’s hard to believe, but since it’s what his superiors told him, he had to believe it.

If the wind is included in that ‘other type of magic’ that is not exactly known… such a production would certainly be possible.

“Galen… … !”

“Galen… …?”

Gaunt gritted his teeth, and the young man frowned slightly as he clearly remembered the name.

On the surface, they were the leader of a hired mercenary group and the agent of the hired client, but inwardly, they were in cahoots, and it was painful to the ears to hear.

The long-time enemy of the Demon Sect is, of course, the church, but the biggest headache right now is two people named Galen and Lilia. They keep getting entangled in each other to a terrible degree, and wherever they go, they ruin their plans.

“Oh, I should have asked you to draw a portrait of me.”

Galen clicked his tongue.

“You recognize me, but I still haven’t recognized you. Well, judging by the way things are going, I guess it doesn’t matter.”

One fairy is already lying limp like a corpse, roughly placed on the shoulders of the young man who was caught, so how could the other fairies be okay?

Although it was not visible to the eye, the situation inside the tent was captured in the sensory sphere of the water flow control. Judging from the faint presence they could sense, there were at least a dozen people in poor health.

In order to prevent the fairies from taking damage from the Brave Mercenaries, we split into three groups to save time. So what does it matter whether these guys are a mercenary group or not? We just have to see what happens.

And that was the same for Gaunt and the young man. Even if they had misunderstood the other person’s identity, they absolutely could not let this scene go once they had witnessed it.

“Everyone run away!”

Gaunt immediately drew his sword and shouted.

The lords, who did not know the details but were aware that they were not doing something to be proud of, had been anxious since Galen fell from the sky, and were suddenly startled by the captain’s shout.

“Yes, yes?”

“Run away! That guy is Galen! A jewel wizard who kills people like bugs! I’ll buy you some time, so disperse!”

“Ha, but!”

“Even if you rush in, they’ll all die, so save at least one of them! Can’t you get out quickly?!”

As expected from a famous mercenary group, the leaders were used to following orders and their ability to judge situations was also not easy. I knew that Gaunt’s words were reasonable.

“Ugh!”

“Take care, Captain!”

The great lords, who had bitten their lips until they bled, gave a short salute and then flew away. They followed Gaunt’s words faithfully and fled in a radial pattern instead of staying together.

It was a truly tragic scene that could not be watched without tears, with the captain remaining alone, prepared to die to save his men.

But Galen was not even going to eat a single grain of rice. Whether the lords ran away or not, Galen did not blink an eye and just kept his eyes on Gaunt and the young man.

Gaunt, who had been trying to distract Galen’s mind with his great lords and take advantage of the opportunity, clenched his teeth.

“Are you saying they’re not even worth giving a second glance to?”

“You call me a wizard who ‘kills people like bugs’?”

Galen chuckled.

“Why make such a fuss about catching bugs?”

“what?”

Before Gaunt’s questions could even properly arise.

“Whoa!”

“Crash!”

Screams began to be heard one after another from afar. Gaunt quickly rolled his eyes.

The terrain was free of any obstacles, allowing the Golden Warrior’s excellent eyesight to clearly relay what was happening.

The ground was suddenly rising and literally burying the great lords. The great lords, who had no ability to fly, were unable to withstand the hostility of the ground and sank in an instant.

“What the heck… No, when on earth… …!”

Gaunt could never have known that the moment Galen landed on the ground, the gleba wrapped around the ankle of his boot naturally fell off and melted into the ground.

To the primordial spirits of the earth who could show off their skills that reached the pinnacle of gold, the ordinary silver warriors who ran away without knowing anything were nothing more than easy prey.

“Why don’t you give each of your subordinates a mass-produced horseman? Everyone I’ve met so far has at least one.”

Galen grumbled. Gaunt had no answer and left.

Because he was a mercenary himself, he did not trust the other lords deeply because they were mercenaries, and he did not share information about the Demon Sect.

In terms of keeping secrets, it might have been more certain, but in the current situation, it was painful. If there had been nine more people who could at least pretend to be gold with the cavalry, the odds of victory would have been slightly higher.

“I haven’t even had a bite yet.”

At that moment, the young man who had been looking dissatisfied since earlier muttered softly.

The sound was too soft for Galen’s ears to pick up. He couldn’t hear what was being said properly.

But Galen’s eyes were captured.

In the slowed time caused by the acceleration of the accident, the young man’s hand was reaching out to the fairy woman who was resting on his shoulder.

The speed was too fast to be considered a simple grab or pull. The shape of the hand was also like a rake.

That’s a gesture of intent to harm.

The moment he realized that, a split second exchange of thoughts took place in Galen’s mind.

‘Tenebrae.’

The pitch-black primal spirit, who oddly preferred to sleep under Galen’s hood, disappeared from the scene.

As the weight of the hood slightly diminished, a pitch-black darkness suddenly spread like ink across the fairy woman’s back.

Phaaaak!

A dull sound rang out.

The young man’s fingers, which should have pierced through the woman’s back, were blocked by a shield of darkness that appeared in the blink of an eye.

Tenebrae, who had leaped through space using Dark Fairy Tale, clung to the woman’s back like armor and immediately used Earthbind.

The young man naturally controlled his strength when striking the torso of the woman on his shoulder, as he would have hurt himself if he had struck with all his might.

It was difficult to break through the ignorant defenses of the Earthbound to that extent.

“Huh?”

There is a characteristic unique to Earthbound that the defense power increases as it becomes heavier.

The young man’s body involuntarily tilted to one side as his fingers hurt and his shoulder suddenly felt heavy.

The fairy woman’s body, which had been raised precariously, lost its balance and rolled down.

And then, just before she hits the ground.

Wow!

The darkness that had been clinging only to the back suddenly spread out and enveloped the fairy woman’s entire body.

The woman, who had instantly turned into a pitch-black mannequin, disappeared like a mirage the moment she touched the floor.

“no?!”

“… … !”

Gaunt’s eyes widened as he belatedly turned around after hearing the young man’s groan, and the young man also wiggled his eyebrows. A monologue leaked out from between the corners of his twisted lips.

“… I guess I can’t call this half-baked.”

The young man’s eyes, which had been slightly suspicious until just before, were now filled with only caution.

Gaunt considered it fortunate. Of course, if you add the wind, the ground, the unknown black thing, and the water called the main force, there were already four types of magic, making it dizzying.

Rather than underestimating something, getting hit, and later changing your mind, it’s much better to be alert from the beginning and give it your all.

“You know about me, right?”

“enough.”

“You can use it.”

“… Are you serious?”

“It’s a profitable business if you can give up your bones and take the flesh in return.”

“I’ll try. I hope it doesn’t just end up scraping off a piece of flesh.”

After a quick exchange of words between the young man and Gaunt.

The young man took a deep breath and rushed towards Galen first.

‘fast.’

Galen’s eyes took on a different color. To be honest, I was a little surprised.

The most agile person I’ve ever met was Shamita. She’s not a human, but she’s still the best when it comes to speed.

Of course, this did not mean that the young man was caught that quickly.

But it was much faster than Galen had vaguely expected.

‘Jewel-grade?’

Galen was finally able to empathize with what others must have felt when looking at him and Lilia.

The young man, who looked older than Galen but didn’t look like he was over thirty, was surprisingly running at a speed that only a Gem Warrior could achieve.

Galen had already faced several Gem Warriors, so he could easily gauge the level of agility of his opponents.

But unfortunately for the young people.

Galen had already encountered several Gem Warriors, so he had a good idea of ​​how to deal with them.

There’s also a great textbook called Spirit Inspector Lilia.

Sssssss!

The body of the young man who had been charging forward with great momentum stumbled slightly. At the same time, Galen’s body slid backward.

Gleba, who had already dealt with the major shareholders and returned to the side, twisted the floor with a countercurrent.

Even Theodore, the pinnacle of warriors, was often hindered by the temporary spirit of the land created by Unica.

What if a young man who is less talented than Theodore meets Gleba, the primordial spirit of the earth?

Of course, it’s bound to shake even more.

“What a trick!”

“What a waste. What a pity.”

Leaving the task of resolving the gap to Gleba, Galen leisurely brought out the magic of water manipulation.

Water gushed out from the bracelet. The giant water sword lying on its side struck the young man like a whip. The young man twisted his body and threw his sword with force.

Paaaaang!

The young man, unusually, did not use any weapons at all.

Of course, even if it was bare-handed, it was still a threat because it was not difficult to crush a person with a punch that was as strong as a jewel.

But if it’s right, it’s dangerous, and if it’s wrong, that’s the end of it.

Originally, the fight between a warrior and a wizard was an unequal one, with the warrior only getting hit one-sidedly until he could close the distance.

Paang! Papapang! Papapapang!

Even though the fight started at a distance not far enough to allow conversation, Galen was able to deal with the young man with ease using only his water guns, with the help of Gleba.

If even a young man of jewel quality can’t do anything, how can the golden Gont catch up with Galen?

He did show some movement, as if he was trying to do something, by turning to the side and aiming at Galen.

Wheeeeeeeeing!

The spiral current that Galen had sent out continued to block his path.

Although it was not a magic that could freely manipulate the wind, the effect of creating a whirlwind to cause large-scale destruction or blockade a specific area was excellent.

‘Even this alone is enough to maintain the state of antagonism.’

Well, you’re using one gem magic and one gold magic while fighting one gem and one gold. Of course, you should have plenty.

Galen, who had some free time, took the time to analyze his opponent.

‘The captain is the subordinate of the cross-eyed guy, so he may know a little, but his skill level is at the level of Davia at best. Gold is no longer a threat. The problem is that red hair. Where did that guy come from…?’

Naturally, his attention was focused more on the young man who had been caught. Naturally, since he was skilled and had no identity.

That was when.

Swaaaah!

Galen tilted his head back at the strange sensation that suddenly came over him.

It was clear that Gaunt had been unable to break through the spiral wall and was just circling around it until just a moment ago.

Isn’t it that he ‘cuts through’ the wall of wind and runs straight towards Galen?

A golden speed that is slower than that of young people, but is still faster than the average person.

Gleba was still interfering with the young man’s actions, so it was a little too late to catch Gaunt’s ankle.

Swaaaah!

The blade cut through the air, making a strangely creepy sound.

Literally, it just split the air.

Tuaang!

The temporary wind spirit that had been kept as a spare instead of being sent back was hastily ejected from Galen’s body.

Although he was somewhat shocked by the sudden acceleration, Galen was able to avoid Gaunt’s attack without incident.

“no…….”

Galen’s mouth opened slightly, his expression clearly showing his bewilderment.

The explanation that it was because of Gaunt’s unexpected sharp attack wasn’t entirely wrong, though.

Strictly speaking, it was a little different.

Because the direction of the emotions mixed in the confusion was more positive than negative. In short, it’s like the feeling you get when you receive a surprise gift?

That would be the case.

[Vanity Heat Lv.??]

[Progress to next level ???%]

I never would have thought that this evolution would begin at this timing.
