I Became a Madman in the Game

Episode. 46 Draupnir (3)

Darkness covered the castle.

But no one was afraid.

Rather, he was busy trembling in joy.

“ah… … !”

The eyes of the ladies-in-waiting, who had been instructed to behave carefully, lost their focus.

Both arms floundering in agony looked like those of a person holding a thousand gold right in front of his nose.

It wasn’t just the maids.

Servants, butlers, and even wizards drool.

Am I drunk on drugs?

Am I hallucinating?

“Rain, light! It’s mine!”

They regarded the darkness that filled Marx’s fortress as light.

I coveted it and accepted it wholeheartedly.

Leaving his body rotting black, he cheered, saying that he had received the grace of light.

It was in an instant that the Marx family, which had a rich history, was transformed into a den of madmen.

‘sh*t. It seems more severe than the battlefield at that time.’

Black spots appeared on the back of Roan’s hand as he washed his face repeatedly.

He was one of Marx’s elite wizards who joined the Magic Union with Alan.

More specifically, he was an aide who had been by Alan’s side for a long time.

Roan chewed his nails.

In that look, the nervousness he was experiencing was clearly revealed.

‘This is no longer the old Marx!’

The family he had served his entire life changed overnight.

No, it just seemed to change overnight.

Looking back, from the time they returned after the Plague War, something disgusting had surrounded the entire family.

However, the vassals who had been there all along did not seem to mind.

It was only after the punishment fell that some wizards, including Roan, realized the seriousness of the situation.

heavenly wrath.

The light contained in that overwhelming lightning bolt opened Roan’s eyes.

In today’s Marx, who can’t see darkness as darkness, the only ones who remain sane are the wizards who joined Roan and the alliance.

But even that is not far away.

Suuu… … .

The darkness slowly eroding the back of Roan’s hand was accelerating with each passing day.

Suddenly, he gnashed his teeth.

The thought that I couldn’t go crazy with both eyes open like this dominated my body.

“How are you guys? Would you like to join me?”

He secretly summoned his colleagues.

The 50 wizards were selected only from those who would not change immediately.

They wanted to escape the wicked tricks of the dark.

“We go where the real light is.”

“… … For Marx.”

Just as a son-in-law finds the light only after it gets dark.

Roan and the wizards longed for the brilliant light scattered by the young sword master and the young boy.

“… … .”

“… … .”

Silence hung over the shore of the lake.

The silence that would normally have been very uncomfortable was now nothing more than a fun spectacle.

Balak and Alyssa keep their eyes on each other.

One side was as calm and serene as a lake, but unfortunately not as much as Balak.

As if facing a rival, there was a heap of wariness in Balak’s gaze.

“… I’ve heard that the kingdom became independent in exchange for two eyes, but I don’t know if I’m getting old.”

“You heard me right. These eyes have recently been able to see.”

“Heh, that’s good enough.”

Balak snorted and looked at me.

It was a reprimanding look.

“No matter how much you abandoned the surname of Battenberg, it is difficult to understand why you did favors for Marx’s eldest daughter.”

What the hell is there to gain from this woman?

Alyssa’s eyebrows twitched at the tone that revealed her true intentions.

“Balak, you all old tigers. If you enter the kingdom tended by Marx’s eldest daughter, be polite. When Jim receives you as a guest.”

It was a different way of speaking than when dealing with me or Alan.

To that extent, Alisa was disapproving of Balak’s visit.

Hey, even Marx’s magician, cut by Ballack, would exceed double digits.

It was natural for Alisa to express her hostility.

‘This should be properly coordinated to prevent a fight.’

It was when I thought so.

“under! You don’t even have to be greeted as a guest. Disciple, this master will teach you the first secret technique of the Sword Master. Let’s go back to the North Continent.”

Balak’s wrinkled hand gripped my wrist.

Unknowingly, I was dragged away because of what happened.

Tup.

And then, a slender hand grabbed the wrist on the other side of me.

“I don’t know how you want to take someone else’s disciple. Don’t you think the rudeness is too much?”

“student? I don’t know how you tricked Richard, but stop doing the same thing. Richard is my disciple, the only heir to the Sword Castle.”

“It’s difficult. Richard is the heir to inherit my arcane magic, Laplace’s Eye. Having made such a pact with that child, I cannot obey your words.”

That’s why he’s popular.

I swallowed a sigh as I watched the grandpa and the young lady tugging at my arm with the force of tearing it apart.

But suddenly, sparks flew at me.

“Inum! So why did you make things go this far!”

“Richard, I don’t like pupils with complicated teacher relationships.”

The sharp eyes that were looking at each other pricked me.

I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut for a while.

than all my work.

Admit it. There was no sense that I was greedy.

‘So what should I do? You can’t wait endlessly for a teacher who wanders around to meet you. I don’t want to give up on magic either.’

He grumbled briefly inwardly, then smiled softly.

“The disciple is greedy, so the masters will understand. Life is only once, how can I turn my back on this desire to learn many things from great teachers?”

“Great Master! You have no great teacher other than me!”

Balak got angry.

His voice, which burst into anger, suddenly stopped at some point, asking what the heir of the sword castle is going to learn from the wizard.

“for a moment… … Hey Alyssa. Did you say that Richard is the successor of your arcane magic?”

Words exchanged so naturally.

Balak realized the unnaturalness in that naturalness belatedly.

“It should be said that he is a candidate for successor. Isn’t Laplace’s Eye a very easy magic?”

Balak narrowed his eyes.

Then he covered his head with one hand.

“Do you have dementia? I guess I went as far as I could.”

“Master, why is that?”

“hahahaha! You’re learning magic! Where do you hear the unbelievable hallucinations?”

The corners of Alisa’s mouth went up crookedly.

It was an obvious laugh.

◈ ◈ ◈

Pew-!

Magic penetrated magic.

The magic of the ring, made up of brilliant lights, was like an eagle.

It flies fiercely through the air and grabs the target at once.

“… … .”

There was nothing too surprising.

Anyway, 1 circle magic.

Although the shape was quite unusual, it was only the training of a novice wizard.

It is not a big deal to be surprised at Balak, who has been through all of the prenatal battles.

“oh my god.”

However, despite this, Balak wiped his face in succession.

The fact that the person who performed the trivial magic was his disciple was enough to give Balak a reason to be surprised.

‘Ludwig! You have to see that for yourself!’

Ludwig expressed mixed feelings about choosing a religion over a sword.

If he saw Richard now, he probably couldn’t handle the survival of his pupil.

“Say it. This is the end.”

If it was possible, I wanted to tear off Richard’s practice.

It didn’t matter how he came to be able to handle magic.

The most important thing was the fact that Richard was a swordsman.

‘Disciple, why don’t you know about the overpayment? In order to reach transcendence, one well is not enough… !’

transcendence.

The highest level of perfection that everyone dreams of.

sorcerers with magic.

A knight as a martial art.

They run endlessly on their own paths of their own choosing.

Even so, there were countless people who were frustrated by the limitations.

got a baby

Seeing the disciple weaving magic with a lively face, Balak became impatient.

Even if Richard was said to be in the ranks of the Great Mage.

You will never reach transcendence.

If you devote that effort and time to swordsmanship, much more possibilities will open up.

“Chemm!”

Pew-!

“Keah, kuhh-hum!”

Fuu-!

Balak’s clearing of his throat, trying to draw attention, was drowned out by the prolonged binge drinking.

It was an overly cunning timing.

“Tsk, don’t disturb Richard. The one called Master.”

Alyssa, who was leaning against a tree, fired at Balak.

In Balak’s eyes, naturalization was young.

“Do you know that you are undermining Richard’s potential?”

“It is a possibility. Do you see the potential of Richard in your eyes?”

“see! That child will be able to reach transcendence.”

The disciple who always defied expectations.

The achievement of having already obtained four stars was proof of that.

Alyssa twisted her mouth again at Balak’s confident tone.

“What a great talent. But what the problem is, I don’t know.”

“Now, just learning magic itself is eating away at Richard’s talent. A mage like you would know. That each person has their own path.”

If only I could handle magic from birth.

Balak would have accepted it meekly, since it was Richard’s fate.

“Richard couldn’t handle magic. That ring must have been obtained through chance. Magic was not Richard’s way.”

“I agree. It’s hard to see that as a natural link.”

“So you still accepted him as a disciple? You have instigated the greed of that immature child!”

Cook Cook.

Alisa gave a small laugh.

A thousand fires rose in Balak’s chest at that sight.

At the same time, I deeply regretted it.

Just, put everything aside and run.

Then it wouldn’t have happened like this.

“Balak. My eyes can see what others cannot see.”

Alisa stopped laughing and drew a magic circle in her eyes.

“The original woman is not as stupid as you think.”

“Don’t talk around.”

“hmm. Yes, I have a crush on that child. He is also my youngest brother’s friend, and as a result, he is also the benefactor who healed my eyes.”

Laplace’s eyes focused on Richard.

I saw a huge cross filled with it.

“If the act of learning magic harmed Richard’s potential, I would have tried to break that ring with my own hands. It must be a power that is not as good as it is.”

Alyssa couldn’t take her eyes off the cross.

It was so splendid and awe-inspiring.

The godhead that Richard brought out from the conference room was really only a handful.

How can the human soul be like that?

No, was it a human being?

If he wasn’t a human in the first place, it would be wrong to place the standard of human potential on Richard.

“Even with my eyes that can see through everything, I cannot dare to guess Richard’s potential. So put your worries aside. It seems like you haven’t met your pupil in a while, so I’ll set you up for a drink in the evening.”

Hurry up and hand over that tightly hidden gift.

Alyssa said with a pleasant smile.
