No one would stay still if their own front door was blown away. It would be even more so if the owner of the house was not an ordinary person but a famous family known for being arrogant.
“What, what is it?”
“무슨 일이냐!”
Hearing the loud noise, the guards patrolling nearby were the first to rush over.
It is impossible to constantly deploy the elite class Baek Eun to simple patrol work. It is the same reason that in modern warfare, no matter how powerful a tank is, it needs the support of infantry.
Therefore, a proper family would definitely have bronze power to support the silver, and if it was a prestigious family, the bronze power would also be sharp. In terms of level, it would be about the difference between a level 10 bronze and a level 20 bronze?
프로테인 저택의 경비병들 또한 이름난 전사 가문 소속답게 경비병치고는 무척이나 정예했다.
Of course, even if Bronze was elite, it didn’t really mean anything. Galen laughed.
“I came to tell you good news!”
The faces of the guards who heard Lilia’s bright and cheerful voice while running hard distorted.
대문은 손님을 제일 먼저 맞이하는 곳이요, 저택의 첫인상을 결정하는 곳이라는 상징성이 있다.
거길 폭파시켰다는 건 가문에 대한 선전 포고나 마찬가지.
그래 놓고 뭐? 좋은 말씀이 어쩌고 어째? 위대한 프로테인 가문의 일원이 이 모욕을 어찌 참을 수 있으랴.
The fact that even the individual guards were so well trained ended up becoming a problem.
차라리 기강이 해이했다면, 대문을 날려 버린 공격의 위력에 겁먹고 주춤거리거나 릴리아의 미모에 한눈팔리면서 시간이라도 벌었을 텐데.
“Intruder!”
“Surround them!”
Even though they knew they were no match for them, the guards did not back down, and without even trying to exchange a word, they swung their swords without question. The well-polished blades surged forward from all directions.
그럼에도 릴리아는 나서지 않았다. 살짝 불량한 자세로 어깨에 걸친 철퇴를 까딱거리기만 했을 뿐, 휘두르지는 않았다.
The role she took on today is a carrot.
The whip will be handled by Galen.
앞장서서 씩씩하게 대문을 통과한 릴리아의 뒤를 느긋하게 따라가고 있던 갈렌이 파리 내쫓듯 오른손을 대충 휘둘렀다.
내쫓아진 건 파리가 아니라 경비병들이었지만.
Phage, phage, phage!
Thin, thread-like lightning bolts crisscrossed the air like knitting needles.
It wasn’t a sight that felt oppressive, but even though it seemed like nothing special at first glance, the guards were nothing special by Galen’s standards.
“으어아으아악?!”
“Euguguguguguk?!”
If you expect the bronze level to have the skill to anticipate the lightning strike and avoid it in advance, you’re a thief. Whether they were struck by the blade and moved, or directly hit in the torso, the guards who were shocked froze stiffly and trembled strangely.
Galen smacked his lips as he watched the guards fall to the ground.
‘It’s a bit disappointing as a suppression tool.’
Wall Power is not a magic that freely manipulates the property of electricity.
It’s not like the original Vanity Heat Wave, where one gets hurt by one’s own flames, but if we have to categorize it, it’s closer to ‘lightning’ than ‘electricity’.
A magic that has no interest in utilizing electricity itself, but simply creates lightning and looks at it. As the name suggests, it is a lightning bolt that flies by making a loud noise (一聲)!
It was a natural result, as the people of this world, who had no idea about all the electrical civilizations of the modern Earth, would have no way of directing the development of magic toward the application of electricity.
Anyway, it was easy to just throw things without thinking about the aftermath, but it was really hard to finely control the range or power. It was a little better now that I had gold.
‘To solve this, you either have to learn a new magic of the same type, or change the direction of the world in that direction… … .’
Of course, there’s no way another lightning wizard will pop out right now, and Wallstrike won’t reach level 70.
‘Oh, there’s one more.’
Even while I was leisurely letting my imagination run wild, Byeokryeokilseong was drawing lines in the air.
Thanks to cooking up a delicious vampire a few days ago, this magic had already passed level 50 and reached gold. It wasn’t that much of a drain, as I was only using bronze, which was weak enough to not kill anyone but just caress them.
“Eugyagyagyagyaggya?!”
“Gegegegegegege?!”
The number of guards who came and fell down with a thud, each letting out their own unique screams, had already reached several dozen.
Pot!
In the meantime, Lilia quickly examined each of the fallen guards and breathed miracle healing into them. She didn’t heal them completely like she usually did, but just enough to give them some energy.
Even though he was bronze, he was a warrior and was stronger than an ordinary person, and since Galen could properly control the power of his magic, with just a little bit of effort from Lilia, his body easily recovered to the point where it was ‘a little sore now, but if I rest for a day or two, I’ll shake it off and get up.’
“Uh, uh… … ?”
“Are you feeling better now?”
“Oh, yes… … ?”
“Just take a break!”
The guards who received the treatment in this way could only raise their upper bodies awkwardly, and did not dare to get up again and take up their swords.
It is impossible for a warrior to have not received healing at least once in a church. Even if he stayed for a short time and disappeared, there was no guard who did not notice the bright and warm light.
There was also the respect that people with ordinary sensibilities had for the church and the clergy, and the unwillingness to attack those who had healed them.
More than that, the guards felt aggrieved. No, if you’re a priest, you should be wearing a robe! If they knew you were a priest, they wouldn’t have even bothered to swing their swords at you!
Unfortunately, the situation was too urgent for them to express their feelings leisurely.
“Hey you guys!”
After a while, the true elite of the Protein family arrived at the scene one after another.
The hundred warriors belonging to each strike force. Many of them were out on various missions, but even if you count only those who were stationed there, there were easily over a hundred of them.
From their perspective, it seemed like there had been some kind of commotion, so they hurriedly gathered their weapons and ran out, but what the heck? The main gate was gone, and dozens of guards were lying around.
“How dare you do such a terrible thing!”
“Do you know where this is?”
If I had just calmed down a little, I would have noticed that the fallen guards looked strangely fine.
A few quick-tempered warriors, whose bodies were quicker than their minds, shouted and charged forward.
I knew it. Galen calmly increased the output of the wall force.
It’s so frustrating!
Instead of a thin thread-like shape like before, a bundle of lightning that looked obviously dangerous sprouted from his right hand.
Instead of just blowing it.
[Life: Spirit: Grant]
[Spirit Creation]
Mixed the magic of life.
Since the two elements that are widely available are air and earth, those two elements are mainly used for making them, but if you can provide the materials, you can make any element of any other attribute, such as a fire element.
This time it’s lightning.
Parts, parts, parts, parts!
One, two, three wolf forms emitting blue flames.
In the blink of an eye, three temporary lightning spirits appeared and flew out at lightning speed.
The warriors who had been charging forward with great momentum ended up colliding with the spirits without even being able to dodge.
“Gyaaaah!”
“Kuaaaah!”
To overcome the electric shock, you need to strengthen your body enough to counteract the current by building up your aerodynamics.
The spirit’s output slightly exceeded Baek-eun. There was no way to endure it.
As my muscles were forcibly paralyzed, my feet tangled and I fell to the floor, my trembling and convulsing body soon went limp.
“Hey, this son of a bitch!”
“Eight, all at once!”
“Beware of magic!”
Some were indignant at the sight of their fallen comrade, some wanted to take advantage of Galen’s weakness, and some showed a strong sense of alarm.
The reactions were varied, but the actions were similar. Whether it was out of pride or because of the gaze of others, hesitation is not permitted here.
“Ta-at!”
A similar scene was played out earlier, when the guards rushed in.
“Khaaaaak!”
The scene where the guards fall out was also repeated exactly.
Parts, parts, parts, parts!
Every time Galen clasped his hands together and then removed them, a bolt of lightning would burst forth and a wolf would be born.
The spirits, whose number had already exceeded ten, ran in all directions and attacked the warriors.
It wasn’t something that could be killed by just stabbing it, and the moment the blade and the spirit’s body made contact, the shock would only get worse, so it was a dizzying situation for the warriors. The warriors in the rear ranks hesitated without realizing it.
“What the heck is this!”
“What a, what a monster… …!”
No one thought that wolves were spirits. Even among the few magicians compared to warriors, spirit masters were particularly rare, and many had never seen one, and even those who had heard of them or seen them firsthand knew that a spirit master could only have one spirit.
Well, even if I had known that they were spirits, it wouldn’t have changed anything. Whether they were wizards or spirit masters, they had to control people, not magic, but there was no one with the ability to approach Galen while avoiding the fallen warriors and rampaging spirits.
That’s understandable, the wolves’ foundation is the creation of life magic spirits. The Wall Power Fortress merely provided the materials.
It was a proper jewel magic, just lower level than water manipulation. Even if the primordial spirits corresponding to the ultimate skill did not come out, the gap with the Baeksun was huge even if only the normal attacks were used.
“Are you a little sore? There’s nothing wrong with your body. You’ll be fine if you rest well!”
“Oh… … ? Priest… ? What… … ?”
Where the warriors were standing on their feet, there was chaos, but where the fallen warriors were, the atmosphere was the complete opposite.
After seeing all the guards, Lilia started to see the silver warriors as well, and they too, having recovered, began to have brain freezes just like the guards.
My mind refused to understand the situation where a man and a woman, who were clearly in a group, were giving one a bottle and the other medicine, something that was completely out of the question.
Even the warriors who had not yet experienced lightning and had been swept up in the atmosphere and attacked without warning felt that something was going on strangely.
The atmosphere in the room became increasingly strange.
“Stophhhhhhh!”
At that moment, a loud scream erupted from far away.
A movement on a completely different level than the ones I had seen before. An elderly woman holding a sword was shooting at me at a terrifying speed.
Instead of sending the spirits he had created for the battle, Galen gathered the magical power of the Wall of Power himself.
Kwaaaaang!
A spear made of twisted lightning bolts flew out and collided with the blade.
The blade protected by the aerodynamic force did not transfer electricity arbitrarily. The grip that was tightly clenched endured the crackling afterglow of electricity.
Even though I was able to back away a bit because I couldn’t nullify the power contained in the lightning itself, I was able to intercept the lightning with my sword.
‘Lightning… cut it… … .’
It seems that such things can happen when there is a difference in level. Galen was impressed.
Galen was careful not to attack again right away. Thankfully, the opponent stopped for now.
Then four men and women of middle age and old age arrived. They were fast, but noticeably slower than the first woman.
Looking at the people lined up one step behind, left and right, it wasn’t hard to guess their relationship. They were probably the Jewel Lords and the Golden Elders. I heard that the current head of the Protein family was a woman.
“… … .”
The sharply raised eyes of the head of the household took in the situation in the room.
He glared at Galen as if he was going to kill him, but instead of being dazzled by the flashing spirits, he fixed his gaze on Lilia, who was still moving diligently among the fallen people.
Soon, the head of the household saw the bright golden light unique to the Holy Spirit briefly flickering with his own eyes, and his eyebrows furrowed greatly.
As expected from a noble family, she had the knowledge to quickly deduce the answer with just a few clues.
If he were a high-ranking priest who had the confidence to storm into a prestigious family in broad daylight, and a blond, savage woman who looked to be in her early twenties—
“…Are you Archbishop Lilia?”
Gaju asked. Lilia, who was being treated, turned her head and smiled.
“Yes. Are you the master?”
“Yes. My name is Judith.”
The head of the household nodded. The discomfort he felt at the short self-introduction was clearly evident.
“I heard that Archbishop Lilia always carries a wizard with her. I guess you are Galen… the official.”
“Wearing it around? That’s a bit of an expression… Anyway, I’m Galen.”
“I guess rumors aren’t to be trusted? I heard he was a water wizard.”
“That’s correct. I just have a side job as a lightning rod.”
Galen chuckled. Judith’s forehead became creased with a sinewy grin at his sly smile.
To her ears, all she could hear was mockery, asking if she was being rude to a secondary magician who wasn’t even her main magician.
If only the Archbishop hadn’t existed… No, I wanted to kill the Archbishop and Nabal. Judith, who had never been known to have a good personality, was desperately gritting her teeth and holding onto her senses.
“So… what are you two doing here, you two who are so busy?”
“I came to see you, my lord!”
“…Is that so?”
“Could you please pass me some of the surroundings? Or you could reserve a separate seat for me!”
“… I will guide you.”
Judith took a few deep breaths and nodded, keeping in mind the image of her yelling at him to get out immediately.
“Is it okay if the elders are present?”
“What if they are people you can trust?”
“They are the ones who discuss all matters of the family, so I will let them in.”
Judith called her subordinates and gave them various instructions. In the meantime, Galen retrieved the temporary spirits, and Lilia managed to take care of all the patients.
Judith turned around and walked away, leaving the scene so chaotic that it made her wonder if it was okay to leave like this. The elders followed behind her, keeping an eye on things, and Galen and Lilia also walked lightly.
Judith walked deep into the mansion in silence and guided the two to a place that resembled a secret conference room.
As the thick door closed and everyone sat down, Judith’s mouth finally opened.
“If you wanted to meet me, why didn’t you just come by in a normal way? Why did you do it this way?”
The voice was so filled with anger that it seemed like it would explode at any moment.
On the other hand, Lilia’s expression was always smiling, like a child who had no idea how serious the situation was.
“Isn’t that a problem? If we just keep our mouths shut a little, I don’t think it’ll be hard to fix it.”
“Aren’t you saying it too easily? Even though they are just families, there aren’t one or two of them, there are hundreds of them!”
“Really? I thought you’d be good at it since you have a lot of experience.”
“…yes?”
Judith forgot her anger for a moment at the sudden words. Career? What career?
“Isn’t it? Our lord, you are very good at fabricating rumors.”
Lilia’s eyes, still smiling, curved gently.
