How To Survive as a Crazy Prince

“Did I tell you my name?”

Lenny emerged from the burning forest debris. It was a misty haze-like silhouette that shimmered in the magic of camouflage and deterrence.

“Don’t underestimate the prince’s information network. Because I know everything.”

“Hmm.”

Lenny snorted as if he couldn’t understand.

“Well, that’s fine.”

Then he pointed his crossbow at me.

“It’s not my taste to show up and fight… … If the prince wants it.”

An arrow shot from Lenny’s crossbow. It was an accurate blow aimed at my heart, but I swung the sword calmly without blocking it.

Caang!

The arrow that was aiming for my heart passed through me without substance. The arrow, which aimed at his side, broke in two and fell to the floor.

“I didn’t reveal it.”

“It was not a bluff. amazing.”

Lenny’s voice echoed in his head. There were students who tried to shoot me with a gun, but it was the limit to disturb the illusion, so I signaled to stop and looked around the empty lot widely. I felt a strange difference in my vision.

‘Is it a mental attack?’

I felt intuition that the students’ voices could not be heard at all, and there was an unpleasant silence.

‘I’m annoyed by the use of voodoo on the subject of elves.’

The nerve-disrupting action of the twisted magical power could be prevented, but the mental part could not be completely blocked. got a little annoying

“… … What a nuisance!”

I was annoyed by shooting the arrow. The attack was able to be stopped by noticing it with the senses immediately before, but the location of the main body could not be easily grasped.

I thought it would be possible if I blocked my senses and raised them to the limit, but I hesitated because it might be dangerous to block my senses in a situation where a mental attack is coming.

“You’re lost, prince.”

As I was thinking about it, Lenny started talking to me.

“Sadly, no one here can help you.”

It was a typical psychic attack. A bloody laugh came out of nowhere.

“I came in with that in mind.”

“How does it feel to be left alone? I was with everyone just a little while ago.”

“Actually, I’m not good at crowded places. Now you’re calming down.”

“What can I do by remaining here alone?”

“Is it to the extent of cutting you to death? You are cleaning your neck well.”

“How long are you going to pretend to be so strong?”

“Really strong. Did you even try to fight me?”

When I replied without losing a word, Leni became quiet.

Was this reaction unexpected? I decided to say a word from my side while I was away.

“I don’t even say anything. It’s boring. Even elementary school students won’t be intimidated by such clichés. Why don’t you come up with something more annoying and upsetting?”

“… … I heard it’s weak, but it’s not at all. Rumors are unbelievable.”

Lenny stopped whispering and annoyed at my diss. If you’re going to quit at a word, I think it’d be better not to do it from the beginning.

“okay. Then we get to the point.”

“Let’s get down to business, and if you think the mental attack won’t work, just come out and fight. Don’t be annoying. Do you think I’m here to talk?”

“Prince, were you in Saratov?”

don’t listen to what people say I decided to listen if I wanted to say anything that much, and I closed my eyes and sighed deeply.

And when I opened my eyes, the sight that came in was the burning Saratov.

“Have you tried to change something?”

“… … You were able to do something more plausible than I thought, you.”

I know it’s an illusion. But for a moment I was shaken. With me at the center, the scenery around me flowed as if an attraction were in progress.

After passing through the burning streets of Saratov, we stopped at a mountain of civilians killed by the rioters and the corpses of the rioters. The useless realism was unpleasant.

“So, could you change it?”

“I didn’t intend to change in the first place.”

I went to Saratov to confirm the events of the prologue.

“I had no intention of trying to stop the rebellion in the first place. I just wanted to see what would happen.”

“It is an excuse. It couldn’t have been changed in the first place.”

For the first time, I couldn’t immediately respond to this guy’s words.

It was true that I wanted to change.

“It is natural. Because we are far ahead.”

The corpses in front of me flew away like smoke and disappeared. Lenny was standing next to me before I knew it. Of course knowing that it was an illusion, I looked at him without responding.

“I prepared and prepared and prepared again.”

Lenny was laughing. As if watching a child’s joke.

“No matter how hard you try, you won’t be able to change anything.”

“You talk a lot about subjects you don’t even know what is changing.”

Displeased with the belittling attitude, I reached out my hand to Lenny’s phantom face. The air was caught and disappeared.

“You guys have no idea how much is changing.”

“Everything goes according to plan. Nothing has changed.”

Lenny’s vision appeared from behind again. I’d appreciate it if you put away the bullsh*t and fight slowly.

“okay? I have changed so much that it is a headache.”

“… … I don’t know which part has changed.”

Lenny shook his head as if he had no idea what he was talking about.

In fact, it is natural by the standards of ordinary people and characters. Because they don’t have an ‘original’ to compare.

“Then ask me one thing. Is it planned for me to come here and meet you like this?”

“You have to come up with a variable that can respond. Rather lucky.”

“Can you really control that variable?”

Lenny, who was constantly looking down at my question, was silent for a moment.

“I guess you can’t be sure.”

“Don’t look at me funny. I can assume that this is the case.”

Lenny was furious. In this way, the initiative of the conversation has passed.

“You are not the only ones who prepared and prepared.”

All that remains is one.

“If you want peace, you prepare for war.”

Taking things off guard, in their favorite words.

Lenny’s eyes slowly widened. The elf’s unique eye light shone creepily. It was to the point of forgetting that it was an illusion for a moment.

“How can you say that… … ?!”

“Don’t underestimate my intelligence, Lenny!”

I shouted at Lenny. Then, he took out the Beretragna and fired it in the direction he felt the presence of when Lenny was agitated.

“Kuk!”

It didn’t fit. But it was enough to distract Lenny’s mental attack. The illusion disappeared and the burned wasteland revealed his vision.

“It was me who succeeded in the mental attack! What a pitiful fellow!”

I inserted Beretragna and took out the communication stone I had turned off the whole time to supply mana. The communication seat, which had stopped working, lit up brightly and was connected to students and colleagues waiting outside.

“Operation begins!”

“Wh, what kind of operation is this? I haven’t heard anything!”

Proud’s panicked voice was the first to be heard. I ran through the wasteland, searching for a suitable location, and occasionally knocked out the flying arrows.

Lenny disappeared. However, there was no sign of leaving this place. It was a chance to fight the crown prince one-on-one, and possibly even kill him. It would be too good a situation to run away from.

“What can I do?! I am confident to jump right in!”

“You can do as I say! Oh, there is one thing that has been decided.”

I thought about it from the moment I entered the wasteland and recalled an important decision I had made just before.

“Operation name is Poongrim Volcano.”

“Does that make sense now?!”

I thought it was a good name for the situation.

I found the right place with heightened senses as I ran through the wasteland. I searched for a place where I could climb the highest with the least amount of power.

“Proud, can you cause fire in the ground? Like a pillar of fire!”

“You can do that! Are you burning the elves?”

“no. It’s me who burns! If you signal, make it!”

“To burn the crown prince, what is that… … ?! I’ll get it right now!”

It was Proud-like that he would carry out the order even though he was not convinced. Thinking that I had a good friend, I glanced up at the sky.

There was a huge fog——no, a cloud in the sky of this wasteland. It was made by order of Caspal.

‘The difference between fog and clouds is whether they are on the ground or in the sky, that’s all.’

As planned. The preparations are sufficient.

“Dimitri! Freeze the Fog! Feels like sherbet! Don’t do too much!”

“Freeze the fog… … ? Uh, what should I do?!”

Dimitri was surprised by the sudden call and asked back.

“You became friends with Caspal?! Ask well!”

“Eh, am I explaining?! that’s it, um that’s it… … !”

Caspal stammered awkwardly as he explained how he had formed the mist high in the sky. Dimitri retraced each of Caspal’s words and confirmed how to use magic power.

“All right! Let’s do it right away!”

And he cried out with confidence. He’s a strong guy.

‘good. All preparations are now complete. Find a suitable location… … ?!’

But things didn’t go the way I wanted.

The clouds were much smaller than expected. It was slightly less than the power I was aiming for.

It was because the heat of Proud rising from the earth had not yet gone.

‘sh*t… … ! It’s too strong even if it’s strong, Proud!’

It’s difficult like this. It is desperately defending itself by rampaging, but if it takes any longer, it may be subjected to mental attacks again. If I went to a war of attrition, I would be at a disadvantage.

‘Damn it! Is there no such thing as correction for the main character?!’

Embarrassed. Only then will we have to find a new way. Even now, I have no choice but to close my unnecessary senses and fight with my senses. However, the opponent has a ranged attack method. Maybe a handshake at that point.

thoughts ran wild.

While agonizing over not being able to make a decision, the weight of the air suddenly changed.

Moisture increased in an instant. The dry burning heat suddenly turned into that of a hot summer day.

‘… … The main character had to be corrected.’

I realized by intuition who the guy who made this was.

‘The person who receives it is not me, but that guy.’

It was Eugene’s water magic.

How could a guy who had just recently realized this level of control? Even Munchkin has a degree.

Is this the power of a person who is loved by God and the artist?

Thinking that I was really lucky that I wasn’t the enemy, I ran.

The clouds, which held moisture to the limit, began pouring down rain.

“… … what?”

Lenny spat out a dumbfounded question at the sudden rain. But this was just the beginning.

The grains of ice created by Dimitri inside the cloud collided with each other and began to run amok. It created a large electrical imbalance with the ground.

The clouds that filled the sky eventually became thunderclouds.

“what… … ?!”

“Proud! now! Shoot in front of me!”

“All right! Be careful!”

At my command, Proud created a pillar of fire on the ground. I kicked off the ground with all my might in front of him and jumped up. I rode the updraft of the fire pillar, which was close to an explosion, and went up to a place so high that it was far away.

I don’t need to know exactly where Lenny is.

Because all you have to do is attack all the places.

In the middle of the fan-shaped wasteland seen from afar, Lenny was looking up at me with an expression of disbelief.

I rotated my body in the air, loaded the sword with electric shock, and shouted out the routine I had been thinking about all along.
