chapter 140
split world line (3)
“Second Attack of Luca Delos” without any evidence or foreshadowing.
In a world where “foresight” is taboo, there was no way to prepare for it. I couldn’t ask for support from the Imperial Palace or the Ministry of Magic in advance, and I didn’t have the right to postpone or cancel the closing ceremony.
Exactly, there was no reason.
In such a worst situation, there is only one person I can trust.
-What…? what is that now
The most painstakingly shaped character, a mage with a natural talent for attacking.
Karios Cedric.
-You may have foreknowledge… it’s not. i get it. It’s a really strange request, but I’ll comply.
I planned this operation with him, and waited for the raid to start at each position.
Karios hid on the 2nd floor of the auditorium, and I manifested [Expedium] and waited at the location where Luinel would cast [Phantom].
I waited at the mansion for about 8 hours.
By the time you get tired of the ‘time of patience’ that started from dawn, you hear Karios’ voice from the micro crystal ball.
—Now, Leonard!
I immediately canceled 「Expedium」.
The scenery around them faded, and they returned to the main auditorium of the academy, the birthplace of 「Expedium」.
sss
The black magic felt along with the movement of space.
He frowned at that shady aura, looked down at Luinel in front of him, and muttered quietly, blocking her [hallucinations] with his whole body.
“It was almost too late. I want you to let me know in a little bit.”
······
The auditorium where the closing ceremony is held.
At the moment of desperation, Leonard appeared like a miracle.
“I reduced your share by one. Come out quickly.”
The appearance of the Empire’s best defense wizard changed the atmosphere in the auditorium. The fear that suppressed the entire space, the primordial fear that surged in front of death was a little relieved.
But the inhibitor was no relief.
What the students felt was a sense of wonder.
It was a look that did not fit the rumors that were regarded as opinions.
It was a scene against the prejudice that followed a wizard like a shadow.
Pusssss······
Luinel stuck in the inner wall. Debris pouring through cracks.
Pointing at her, one student opened his mouth.
“that······”
Starting from that voice, the other students also muttered in disbelief.
“That’s right… It’s offensive magic.”
“That’s also very pure…”
“But how…”
Other wizards couldn’t detect it, but attack wizards realized it at once.
Leonard’s last night was not a simple physical attack.
It was the manifestation of the [Magical Concentration Bullet]. It was precisely implemented in detail to the size of a fingernail, and delivered a blow to the opponent’s forehead.
No matter how much [Magical Coalescing Bullet] is said to be a basic attack magic, it is only limited to the basic manifestation.
The moment applied expression is applied, the difficulty level rises to the ceiling. It is usually not difficult to transform the form of magic while maintaining the balance between magic formula and magical power.
In particular, processing it to a size as small as it was placed on a fingernail was a challenge that even a veteran attack wizard would stick out. It was an unimaginable technique for students who had just graduated from the academy.
But Leonard did it so easily.
Lightly like snapping your fingers…
As if trying to get rid of the stigma of being an outsider in offensive magic…
“Didn’t you say Professor Leonard couldn’t use attack magic…?”
“I knew that too…”
Is it because of the aftermath of the shock?
Everyone in the auditorium stood still.
The faculty who were warming up their magical powers, the student council who were preparing to fight the demons, the students who were about to run away right away, and even Lucaradelos.
All of them were stuck in their places, as if time had stopped. Only the voice full of doubts flowed leisurely.
“Could it be that… have you been hiding it all this time…?”
“But why…?”
Just when the auditorium was cluttered with whispering noises, Karios suddenly appeared.
Appearing on the second floor of the auditorium, he fell to the first floor with his robe flying.
Chak-!
soft landing sound.
Carios, who had lightly adjusted his clothes, approached Leonar.
I glanced back at Ruinel, who was stuck in the wall.
“If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn’t have taken the sensitivity reduction potion.”
Then, he looked straight at Luca Delos with spleen eyes.
“Anyway, you’re right, Leonard. Thanks to that, I was also able to face Luca Delos… I was also good at trusting him.”
Then Lucaradelos burst into laughter. It was the typical villain’s laugh.
“Ha ha ha ha ha! The best defense and attack wizards in the empire. This is going to be really exciting. Yeah. Indeed, they look like archmage candidates.”
At some point, his savage smile was neatly cut as if it had been cut with scissors.
He said with a face that had completely lost his smile.
“But what about this? That I am not alone.”
When Lucar Delos finished speaking, a savage scream resounded from outside the building.
Kwiyeee)
It was the roar of demons.
Right and left.
The demonic beasts pouring out of the huge portals created on both sides were vividly visible through the huge windows of the auditorium.
It was the wave of the end, on a different level from before.
oh oh oh oh oh
Luca Delos’ demonic energy spread thickly.
Don’t be defeated by this, other wizards also warmed up their magic. Prepared for the great scuffle that was to come shortly after.
Kwiyeee)
A scream like a flare-up of war hit the eardrum.
Before long, the magic beasts outside the window rushed into the auditorium. They spurred on the ground with the momentum to break windows, and before they knew it, the defensive wizards on the first line manifested their [Barrier]. The attack mages released their own auras.
gap gradually narrowing. A rushing wave that fills the field of view.
an imminent situation.
Kwiyeee)
The madness of the monsters hungry for slaughter
Gee-ying————-!!
was stopped in an instant.
Nothing could enter the auditorium.
“······ What is this?”
Karios, who had condensed aura on both hands, looked around with a puzzled look.
A panoramic view of the outside through the window.
A translucent curtain that appeared suddenly surrounded the entire building, blocking the demons from entering.
The monsters collided with the curtain and a strong vibration occurred.
thump-! thump-!
It was the first magic I had ever seen. It was a technique not seen in any magic book.
Silence flowed from Karios’ mouth.
“How can this…”
The reactions of other wizards were similar.
I stared blankly with my mouth open, completely forgetting the tense situation. The outside view was reflected in the eyes filled with awe.
“·······”
It looks like a huge dome.
I don’t know what kind of magic this is.
I couldn’t see through the system, the magic formula, or the principle of magical power.
However, the magician who manifested the magic knew it intuitively.
——The trembling magician’s spirit was pointing at him.
For an instant, the gaze turned to Leonard.
Karios also turned his head belatedly and looked at Leonard.
“What kind of magic is this, Leonard…?”
“Barrier.”
Leonard answered briefly.
And then he added a word.
“Remember what I asked you to do.”
“That plan?”
“okay. never forget.”
After that, Leonard moved on.
I stopped in front of the aisle that connected the entrance of the auditorium and the podium, like a long runway.
I looked at Lucar Delos standing at the end.
“Is it your magic?”
Luca Delos’s voice, flowing softly.
But Leonard didn’t answer. It was just manifesting another magic.
sss
Defensive magic that cuts space and moves it to another space, [Expedium].
When that dazzling apparition was completed, Leonard and Luca Delos disappeared for a moment.
The auditorium, where the two giants had disappeared, somehow felt empty.
***
The surrounding landscape blurs. As if reversing the process of coloring, the color gradually fades, and even the frame that formed the shape disappears one by one.
At the same time, another landscape becomes clearer.
sss
spotless clear skies. A cloud that somehow got closer.
Underneath – antique and magnificent buildings like medieval cathedrals.
Imperial Academy, where traces of wizards are scattered everywhere, including many statues and mage towers.
wheeeeeeing·······
It was the academy’s airspace where I drew Lucaradelos.
The reason was simple. It was to save mana.
The [Expedium]’s magic power consumption was determined by the distance, and furthermore, the huge magic that surrounded the entire auditorium—[Barrier]—was extremely consuming magic power.
“······Is this the expedium we’ve only heard about?”
Luca Delos twisted his lips in interest.
That’s right, Lucardelos and I are floating hundreds of meters in the air. As if doing levitation.
However, since the space in the auditorium was cut and moved into the air, there was no reason to fall down.
Simply put, it was like standing on a transparent wall.
In other words, unless I cancel 「Expedium」, Lucar Delos couldn’t get out of this space.
“Interesting.”
Lucaradelos fumbled in the air. To be precise, he touched the cut ‘wall of space’.
“Heh heh… It really deserves to be called magic.”
His gaze turned to the floor.
A panoramic view of the academy overlooking at a glance. Among them, he frowned at the large auditorium covered with a giant barrier, the horde of beasts surrounding it, and the huge portal.
“To think that such great magic was only used to protect the empire.”
“·······”
“You are still foolish.”
I took the elixir out of my pocket and put it in my mouth.
I have taken all of the fire attribute resistance potions, pain relief potions, and magical power boost potions before.
It was the last dope.
“I only ask you one thing.”
Lucaradelos’ gaze turned to me.
“Why are you so dedicated to the empire? It is already a diseased land as it is sick.”
gulp-
I swallowed the elixir.
I used it enough to make an impression, but the effect was obvious. It was felt that the quality of attack-type magical power had been upgraded.
“What is the reason for protecting this hellish empire that discriminates against the weak and is ruled by a mad emperor? Is there any reason why it should be?”
“Because it’s my world.”
I said resolutely.
“Because I have to protect that much.”
At the same time, both hands expressed narration. The flames that bloomed on the palms shimmered noblely.
“······under.”
A detached laugh flowed from the corners of Luca Delos’ lips.
“So you’re going to kill me? Not defensive magic, but offensive magic? Me who has become this strong?”
“·······”
I silently nodded
Lucaradelos’ words were not bluffing. He was stronger than before. The thicker demonic energy was vividly seen through “magical insight”.
It’s the 5th day since the demonic fall ended.
In that short period of time, Lucaradelos has grown by leaps and bounds. It was probably because of Cadein’s magic enhancement technique.
The current growth is outrageous, but it will be even stronger in the future.
So, by all means, I had to kill him today.
Whoa!
I spurred on the narration. The flames on his palm grew even larger.
The upheaval of Mother Nature is felt soon.
————–······
Dark clouds rolled in from the distant sky. The blue sky quickly turned dark.
Blue sparks flashed from thick clouds, and strong winds disturbed the world.
It was Karios’ tactic.
“·······”
I looked down at the ground.
Frederick and Karios, who had escaped from the auditorium, were slaughtering the Demonic Beasts.
I was in the middle of carrying out my orders to kill Cadein and Ruinel in the Great Hall, escape using Frederick’s [Spacing]—space teleportation magic—and slay the Demonic Beasts.
He also saw the imperial reinforcements approaching in the distance.
Various wizards were heading to the academy from various directions.
···················.
Everything is going according to plan.
All that remains now is to defeat Lucaradelos.
I looked up and stared at Lucaradelos.
Luca Delos approached with a savage smile.
“Leonard. You made one mistake.”
jerk- jerk-
I moved my steps slowly over the sky.
“You might even think of killing me. Even with that reckless plan, there must be a tiny bit of possibility. But…”
Lucaradelos opened his arms and pointed to space. He shrugged and shook his head.
“It’s too small here.”
“·······”
“At least if there was a strategy, we should have secured a wider space.”
Magic, black magic, black magic, magical beast summoning, portal creation, etc.
Luca Delos has many abilities. Instead, it has its fatal flaws.
It’s just that ranged attacks are impossible.
He could only attack at close range. It was the only way to compress and wield demonic energy like an aura.
Of course, its killing power is unmatched.
oh oh oh oh oh
Demonic energy was condensed in Luca Delos’ right hand. Discharging demonic energy shimmering in a dark purple light, they gradually closed the distance.
said Lucaradelos.
“It’s a waste of talent to kill, but what can I do? You have to take responsibility for what you have caused yourself.”
After those words, Lucar Delos rushed in. The elongated demonic energy left a long afterimage.
Tat-!
The shape of a demon who covets life. The gaze of a beast that overwhelms the opponent.
Even right before that brutal gesture attacked me, I just stood there.
and······
Whoops———!
Lucaradelos’ hand penetrated my stomach. Blood from the torn skin flowed down Lucaradelos’ arm.
However, I didn’t feel any pain.
Because I was taking a pain reliever.
“…?”
Lucaradelos slowly raised his head.
“Why didn’t you stop it?”
In response, the pupils shook. There was a deep feeling of bewilderment in it.
I just raised the corner of my mouth.
“To take responsibility for what you have done.”
After that, “Barrier” was immediately manifested.
The largest within the scope of the space, so that Luca Delos can be drawn inside.
Gee-ing
[Barrier] was completed in an instant, and a translucent curtain enveloped Lucaradelos and me.
Immediately after that, I manifested the wide-range attack magic [Ultimate Flame].
Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gung
A huge whirlpool of flame rose from the floor.
The heat of vermilion light touched my whole body, and the fire demon reminiscent of inferno filled my vision. A vast flame filled the inside of the sealed barrier.
“Kahiah ah!”
Lucaradelos struggled in pain. It was thrashing in an unquenchable flame.
His body was charred. A piercing scream hit the eardrum.
“aaa!!”
But I stood firm.
I didn’t feel pain with the pain-free potion, and my body didn’t burn with the fire-attribute resistance potion.
Like an incarnation, I stared at him with my eyes open.
“Ouch!! aaagh!!”
As if putting in firewood, mana was injected.
An even stronger fire engulfed Lucaradelos.
I’m going to go to the middle of the day.
Luca Delos, who is still alive.
Furthermore, the body of the one who made a direct contract with the demon Nesius will be resurrected if even a small part of it remains. Reconstitute the body with magic.
In other words, he had to turn his body into ashes.
with a bit more force. with a bit more heat.
“Keuuu”
I squeezed my grip with all my might. I squeezed out all my exhausted mana.
Then, the barrier began to compress.
Kwadeuk-! Kwajijik-!
strong pressure on the body.
A fire that burns more intensely.
Even in my increasingly blurry consciousness, I didn’t stop.
***
All the high-ranking wizards of the empire headed to the academy that Lucar Delos had invaded. Because it was the order of the emperor, no one could disobey it, and of course, Narsha was included.
Narsha, who was stuck in a private laboratory, hurriedly came out.
And then I stared blankly.
“uh······?”
The academy’s airspace is covered with pitch-black dark clouds.
In the middle of it, some luminous object was floating. At first I thought I was wrong, but I wasn’t. When I rubbed my eyes and looked again, I saw it clearly.
A circular luminous object emitting red light illuminated the dark sky.
like the sun
“What is that…?”
Catherine, the owner of the Mage Tower, asked.
Narsha shook her head slowly.
“I don’t know either-”
right at that moment.
I thought my eyes were flashing, but a huge shockwave hit the whole area.
The mysterious luminous body had exploded.
Whoops-!
A powerful craze swept the academy grounds.
It contained powerful magic power.
It was a phenomenon called ‘magical wave’ that nullified all magical phenomena when powerful magical powers constantly collided, thus exceeding the limits of providence.
It’s only a hypothesis limited to theory, but I didn’t know if this was actually possible.
“······This is right now, right? Magic wave phenomenon?”
“I think that’s right. But is this even possible?”
Catherine tilted her head.
Then, something fell from the sky. Narsha frowned and watched it.
Shuuwook──…
A shape that becomes clearer as the distance decreases.
It was a black stone block, and the other one was…
“uh······?”
Narsha’s face turned white after confirming her identity. It was none other than Leonard who was falling helplessly from hundreds of meters in the air.
“·······”
Narsha didn’t say anything.
I was speechless at the shock as if I had been hit in the head.
Because it was so sudden, I couldn’t accept it in my head at all.
The accident had come to a complete standstill.
Even so, the body moved reflexively. It was a kind of instinct.
Narsha grabbed Katherine’s wrist.
“Yeom Dong… Hurry up, Yeom Dong.”
“What? Why is Yeomdong suddenly?”
Katherine followed Narsha and raised her head. She too found Leona.
“Oops! What happened to that!?”
“I don’t have time for this right now. Run quickly!”
Narsha jumped to the expected landing point. Katherine hurriedly followed, and just before Leonard’s body fell to the ground-
“Kyap! after······”
barely averted his fall. It landed slowly on the ground.
“Get out of the way!”
Narsha hurriedly looked at Leonard. He was in much worse condition than expected.
There was a large penetrating wound in the abdomen, and the whole body was hot like a ball of fire. In fact, a thin layer of smoke rose. Also, her complexion was pale as if she had suffered from magical exhaustion, and a trickle of blood flowed from her purple lips.
Crucially… the heart stopped beating.
“Oh, no······”
Narsha put her hand on Leonard’s chest without a moment to feel sorrow. He expressed the healing magic ‘El Niño’ to submit to the Kingdom Conference.
Geeying
In the past, when Lucar Delos invaded the academy.
It was a magic that saved Leonard once.
Even then, there was a time when I put a brake on my heart that had stopped completely.
So······
So… just this once.
please live one more time
I’m begging you like this
Two Stories—Red Light
I didn’t know until I met you.
That the life I live is so beautiful.
The world was always a cold place, and I was always shivering in the cold.
It was so dark that I couldn’t see an inch ahead, and I couldn’t go anywhere.
That’s why I was always alone. He shrank like a hedgehog and guarded everyone.
I didn’t open my heart to anyone.
They are people who will leave anyway.
They say it will all disappear with time.
Whether I die like my mother, or treat me as a burden like my relatives, I will disappear somehow.
So I shut myself up in pessimism.
From that point on, my warmth gradually cooled. I was slowly moving away from the world.
Then one day, you appeared.
I tried to deny it, but I couldn’t tell you, but from then on, my feelings came back to life.
I’ve liked someone for the first time, I’ve been sad, and I’ve hated someone.
I secretly watched from a distance and laughed, and I was jealous of myself over nothing.
On the first day we broke up, there were times when I wandered the streets crying like crazy.
It was bad luck meeting you.
that no one would ever like me again.
Cursing inwardly, I learned the feeling of hatred.
Then-
Then I reunited with you really unexpectedly, and learned the feeling of love. My heart, which had been locked up for a long time, opened wide at the sight of you, who had changed from before.
At the same time, a certain desire welled up.
I will live with you, grow old, give birth to a child who resembles you, and live by holding wrinkled hands.
Even if hard things happen, even if harsh winds shake us again, I will overcome it with you.
With such greed, my life became truly happy.
Come to think of it, meeting you was the luckiest thing in my life.
So.
So please…
Narsha put her hand on Leonard’s chest. The healing magic ‘El Niño’ was manifested.
Gee-ing
Leonard’s chest touched Narsha’s hand.
A red light hovered over the junction.
This is because he was judged ineligible in the ‘Final Spell Test’ he did a few days ago.
But it was too early to be discouraged.
There was only a defect in the magical power capacity, but there was no problem with the efficacy of the magic itself. It was a strengthening of the magic that had already been proven, so it would be possible this time too, as it had succeeded in reviving Leonard before.
So it was too early to give up.
no i couldn’t give up
“please······”
Narsha clenched her teeth and devoted herself to healing.
Gee-ing
A red aura shimmering on the skin.
The magical energy seething in the danteon rotated the magic formula. The healing magic ejected from the palm penetrated into Leonard’s chest. Red streaks of light covered his entire body.
“Huh…”
Narsha spurred on her magic.
He squeezed even the strength he had been sucking on and poured out his mana.
Gee-ying—!
‘El Niño’ with a much higher output.
At the same time, the aftereffects surged.
The sudden consumption of magic power caused weakness and dizziness, and the blood vessels that could not withstand the overload suddenly cut off. A piercing pain throbbed all over his body.
The bruises that bloomed like patterns stained the back of Narsha’s hand.
But·····
No matter how hard you try, no matter how hard you try.
Even if you grit your teeth and make a fuss.
“·······”
Leonard’s condition did not improve.
Pulse still stopped.
His body was getting cold.
wheee
A cool breeze blowing under a dark sky.
In the meantime, Catherine’s voice flowed with sympathy.
“Narsha.”
“·······”
“Narsha.”
Katherine put her hand on Narsha’s shoulder. It was a hand with a lot of meaning.
“……Now stop it.”
Narsha shook it off violently.
“Leave this!”
Then, the magic manifested itself again. He poured out all the mana that exposed the bottom of the giant.
Geeying
I couldn’t send it like this.
I couldn’t possibly give up on Leonard.
We haven’t spent a lot of time together yet, there are so many things we couldn’t do, there are so many things we want to do together, but there are still things we couldn’t say…
······But why?
Why don’t you come back, why do you keep getting farther away?
please don’t do that…
Tuk-
A tear fell from Narsha’s cheek.
“You promised…”
Her body trembled slightly.
“I said I wouldn’t worry anymore…”
Tuk-
Tears fell again.
Water droplets fell on Leonard’s face and flowed down his eyes.
“You said you’d always stay by my side…”
as if he were weeping.
like grieving together.
“So······”
Narsha lowered her upper body as if she were about to fall.
He touched Leonard’s face, buried his forehead, and spoke in a mournful voice.
“Please don’t leave… I’m begging you like this. please······”
The first and last request to the world.
More than anything else, a desperate desire.
However, the world was still cold to the Jericho and the fragile Narsha. No miracles happened.
“no······”
that winter.
Under the floor where the cold wind blows, a life has faded.
with the sobbing of a woman.
***
······10 years later.
With the death of Lucadelos, the source of evil, and his men, there was no more danger to the empire.
Of course, there are still a few warlocks left, but there is no future for a group that has lost its leader.
The Empire pursued them to the end, and succeeded in eradicating all but a few. Many knights were disbanded one by one, and magic was developed in the direction of living rather than killing.
The long, protracted era of war was over.
Eternal peace has arrived in the Empire.
Now, his existence is forgotten in the minds of all people.
“Write! Louise, you should say hello to the teacher.”
A cool sunny afternoon.
Narsha slapped the little boy on the butt. The boy, whose name was Louis, bowed his head with a pouty face.
“Goodbye.”
“Okay~ Goodbye~ Narsha-sama, please go inside carefully.”
“yes. I’ll just go in.”
Narsha bowed lightly and took Louise’s hand. Ajang-Ajang- We walked along the road in line with the small steps.
“How was the academy today?”
“It’s absolutely the worst. It’s not fun. Can’t we just not go? I’m going to die of boredom.”
Louis pursed his lips and grumbled. I looked up at Narsha with disapproving eyes.
Narsha smiled happily and stroked his blond hair.
“I still have to go. Listen carefully to what the teacher says.”
“Huh… I don’t like it.”
“If you keep doing that, why don’t you give me snacks today?”
“Ahh! Where is that!?”
A conversation that leads to one-sided complaints from one side.
So, Narsha and Louise headed to the first museum of Archinia. It was the place where all the history of the empire was recorded.
“Eutcha!”
Lewis took a notebook out of his backpack. It was a homework note given by the academy.
“Mom! Mom! I’ll just get the stamp and come back soon!”
“okay. Mom will be there.”
“Ugh! If you fill up the stamp, give you a snack? Did you promise?”
“Okay. I’ll keep my promise, so don’t run and go carefully.”
“Uh!!”
Contrary to the roaring reply, Louis was loud—and jumped. Like a tree frog, I didn’t listen at all.
“It resembles someone like that…”
Narsha, who was watching Louis quickly move away, moved to the history hall.
It came so often and so many times that I could now go there with my eyes closed.
“Nice to meet you. It is a historical museum.”
The person in charge of the history museum opened the glass door.
After a familiar greeting, Narsha headed to the exhibition hall where the photos of past great wizards were listed.
I calmly moved my steps and stared at their faces.
That buck- that buck-
First Archmage Karkin.
From the right, Marcia, Lowell, Mihawk, Zenon, Edward, Geoffrey, Gerout, Frederick and…
“······Here again.”
The last great wizard of the present age.
Leonard Adonis.
Looking at the photo of him displayed on the far right, Narsha smiled lightly.
I was immersed in my thoughts for a moment.
“·······”
Even though I come to see you every day, I missed you every day.
He who taught me the feeling of longing, I missed him deeply.
If I could hug you just one more time, I wouldn’t have a wish.
Her long and thick passion was soon interrupted by the sound of footsteps.
all over the place-
It was Lewis.
Louis, who ran at full speed, stopped beside Narsha. I looked back and forth between pictures of her and Leonard. Then he asked in an innocent voice.
“Mom.”
“yes?”
“Who was your father?”
Narsha couldn’t answer that question hastily.
After thinking about it for a long time, I hesitated a few more times.
said with a faint smile.
“Dad was always the one who protected my mother. It rains or snows.”
“really?”
“then.”
Narsha nodded softly.
Then Louis patted my chest with a confident face.
“Then I will protect you from now on. Believe me! I will become the greatest wizard like my father!”
Narsha lowered her posture and met Louis’ eyes. I gazed intently at the wall that resembled him.
“really?”
“yes! Of course!”
“······thank you.”
And then they hugged
Still remembering the vivid past. I repeat the words I couldn’t say back then.
“Thank you so much. And I love you a lot.”
Lewis asked.
“Mom, are you crying?”
“·······”
“why?”
“glad. That you protect me.”
***
Calm like a boss. A quiet consciousness as if asleep. Darkness spread infinitely like the universe.
My spirit, which was wandering somewhere, woke up in an instant.
“Ahh!!”
I had a seizure and opened my eyes. What scenery did you see?
“·······”
Not an old-fashioned and fancy wallpaper, but a modern, contemporary wallpaper.
A room that is neither too wide nor too narrow, and the sunlight seeping through the half-hidden curtains.
A ballpoint pen strewn on the desk and a monitor slowly turned on.
A modern landscape that is now unfamiliar.
I was face down in front of the computer.
“Are you back…?”
I slowly got up. I calmly looked around. It definitely seemed like a return to reality.
“Then maybe…?”
Move the mouse to check the date.
May 12th.
It was the same as the day Eternal Wizard World ended.
I didn’t return to the past or time-slip to the future, and there was no change in reality. Also, no traces were left.
As if the journey so far had all been a dream.
I looked at the mirror on the desk.
And then he freaked out again.
“Ahh!!”
······ugly.
Objectively, it wasn’t bad, but compared to Leonard’s sculptural appearance, his face was terribly ruined. It was hard to see with both eyes open.
Is this the squid theory of relativity?
“Haa… that was good.”
I sighed softly.
Through the eyes of Lee Jin-wook, not Leonard, he stared at the panoramic view outside the window of apartments, not dreamy European-style buildings. I was engulfed in emptiness for no reason.
After being immersed in contemplation for a long time…
Click-click-
I grabbed the mouse again.
I entered Gompia, logged in, and wrote a notice in the serial column of 「Eternal Izard World」.
[ ※ Notice) I will remake the work. ]
I don’t know if it’s a dream or real.
Shocked by the malicious comments, he could have gone out of his mind for a while.
But one thing is for sure, I did my best as Leonard there.
That he did everything in his power to prevent the handshakes of the novel.
Now that I’m back as a writer, I have to do my best as a writer.
Click-click-
I clicked on the novel manuscript stored in ᄒᆞᆫ. As if possessed by something, I started tapping the keyboard and remaking the novel.
Riding on
First, we fixed the overly brutal episodes. To be precise, the main character Karios improved to save everyone.
In addition, the character’s narrative and relationships were completely revised.
Leonard’s twisted affection.
Narsha’s sad past.
Karios’ stray passion.
Jeniel’s love too.
Yerina’s special tendency.
got everything back to normal It was remade with a happy ending that everyone can be satisfied with.
“After… it’s over.”
I leaned back on the chair as if I was about to collapse. I blankly stared at the ceiling.
“·······”
A lonely room with no one there.
The dampness calmly subsided and the world outside the window gradually darkened.
Against the backdrop of Sumi’s silence like the night wind, she recalled past memories.
Those unbelievable moments when I became a wizard.

Two Stories—Blue Light (Complete)
I didn’t know until I met you.
That the life I live is so beautiful.
The world was always a cold place, and I was always shivering in the cold.
It was so dark that I couldn’t see an inch ahead, and I couldn’t go anywhere.
That’s why I was always alone. He shrank like a hedgehog and guarded everyone.
I didn’t open my heart to anyone.
They are people who will leave anyway.
They say it will all disappear with time.
Whether I die like my mother, or treat me as a burden like my relatives, I will disappear somehow.
So I shut myself up in pessimism.
From that point on, my warmth gradually cooled. I slowly moved away from the world.
Then one day, you appeared.
I tried to deny it, but I couldn’t tell you, but from then on, my feelings came back to life.
I’ve liked someone for the first time, I’ve been sad, and I’ve hated someone.
I secretly watched from a distance and laughed, and I was jealous of myself over nothing.
On the first day we broke up, there were times when I wandered the streets crying like crazy.
It was bad luck meeting you.
that no one would ever like me again.
Cursing inwardly, I learned the feeling of hatred.
Then-
Then I reunited with you really unexpectedly, and learned the feeling of love. My heart, which had been locked up for a long time, opened wide at the sight of you, who had changed from before.
At the same time, a certain desire welled up.
I will live with you, grow old, give birth to a child who resembles you, and live by holding wrinkled hands.
Even if hard things happen, even if harsh winds shake us again, I will overcome it with you.
With such greed, my life became truly happy.
Come to think of it, meeting you was the luckiest thing in my life.
So.
So please…
Narsha put her hand on Leonard’s chest. The healing magic ‘El Niño’ was manifested.
Gee-ing
Leonard’s chest touched Narsha’s hand.
A blue light hovered over the junction.
In the ‘final technique test’ done a few days ago, he was judged to be eligible. It had developed into a more complete magic than before.
So, you can.
No, you have to do it.
I have to save this man who changed my whole life somehow.
“please······”
Narsha clenched her teeth and devoted herself to healing.
Gee-ing
A shimmering aura on the skin.
The magical energy seething in the danteon rotated the magic formula. The healing magic ejected from the palm penetrated into Leonard’s chest. A blue streak of light enveloped his entire body.
“Huh…”
Narsha spurred on her magic.
He squeezed even the strength he had been sucking on and poured out his mana.
Gee-ying—!
‘El Niño’ with a much higher output.
At the same time, the aftereffects surged.
The sudden consumption of magic power caused weakness and dizziness, and the blood vessels that could not withstand the overload suddenly cut off. A piercing pain throbbed all over his body.
The bruises that bloomed like patterns stained the back of Narsha’s hand.
As a result·····
heartbeat
I felt a pulse in Leonard’s body.
It was a very subtle vibration, but above all, it was a clear touch. At the same time, goose bumps all over my body.
The present phenomenon was proof that the healing magic was working properly.
wheee
A cool breeze blowing under a dark sky.
The screams of demon beasts echoed through the land. Magi that touches the skin.
In that hopeless situation, a ray of hope blossomed.
“ah······”
Narsha slowly raised her head. Let’s look up at Catherine with a dumbfounded face
“what are you doing! without continuing? Are you going to watch me die like this?”
Catherine groaned.
Then, he quickly came to his side and applied the advanced healing magic “Effector Healing” on Leonard’s abdominal wound.
“Eat your heart out! You’re not alive yet.”
“······Yes Yes.”
At her screams, Narsha belatedly came to her senses. Again, El Niño was expressed. He poured out all the mana that exposed the bottom of the giant.
Gee-ing
Leonard’s complexion gradually brightened.
On the other hand, Narsha’s complexion gradually darkened.
It was a phenomenon of mana exhaustion.
Tuk-tuk-
A nosebleed flowed.
Her lips gradually dried up, and her body, already beyond its limit, trembled uncontrollably. His breathing became rough due to his rapidly beating heart, and the blood vessels in his eyes burst, blurring his vision.
Narsha also instinctively felt it.
That the expression of more than this is dangerous.
“haha······”
Even so, Narsha did not stop. Rather, it spurred on magic.
Because at this moment, your body didn’t matter.
***
As if waking up from sleep, a consciousness gradually becoming clearer.
I opened my eyes. At the same time, he let out a small moan.
“Ugh…”
Has the effect of the pain-killing potion been exhausted?
I felt pain all over my body. It was sore, as if it had been burned, and an indescribable pang of pain erupted in the abdomen that had been attacked by Lucaradelos.
For a moment, I almost lost my mind again.
“after······”
After barely holding back all the pain, I looked around.
The first thing I saw was a white ceiling. Beneath it, I could see huge windows, luxurious sofas, and plants good for resting the mind and body.
Oh, and a humidifier too.
Swoouuu
It was also a VIP hospital room.
Only then did I realize that I had survived. I was happy, but at the same time, I was also puzzled.
It was obviously a strategy that was prepared to die, but there was no chance of survival, so how on earth did it survive? Did a miracle happen?
“·······”
I slowly raised my upper body.
And I found it too late.
Narsha, sitting on the caregiver’s seat, sleeping on my lap.
“Hmm…?”
Did he sense that small presence?
Just then, Narsha’s eyes opened. He kept his gaze still, looking at me with blank pupils.
blinking- blinking-
Narsha’s eyelids blink exactly twice.
The time that passed between them was only 2 seconds.
Before long, Narsha, who jumped up from her seat, took one step closer. He touched my face again and again. As if he hadn’t woken up yet, he spoke incoherent gibberish.
“Are you out of your mind? How do you feel? it’s okay?”
“Yeah, I can bear it.”
I looked at Narsha and smiled a little. Her presence felt warm today.
I thought I would never see you again, but I was so happy to meet you like this.
She let out a sigh of relief as if feeling similar emotions, but soon revealed her true color.
“Can you hold on? very good It’ll taste good, won’t it?”
Puck-Puck- He threw his weight-bearing fist mercilessly. It was an assault close to hacking.
“You bastard! You said you wouldn’t do that again? You said you would promise not to sacrifice yourself?”
“Ouch! evil! Now, wait a minute—”
“Did I tell you not to do that? Does your girlfriend sound very dog shit?”
“I’m still a patient—”
“Just wait, I’ll let you live as a patient for the rest of your life!”
An innumerable barrage of punches.
I tried to greet him out of courtesy, but it was impossible.
It wasn’t that it wasn’t, it was really painful.
widely-!
I grabbed Narsha’s wrist to stop her. Narsha, whose arms were grabbed, looked down at me with a snort.
“What? Aren’t you going to let this go?”
“·······”
“Let go quickly. Because there is still a lot left.”
I didn’t say anything back. Instead, he pulled Narsha’s arm and hugged her. He said, resting his chin on his slender shoulder.
“I miss you.”
“How much?”
Narsha asked in a more subdued voice.
I hugged Narsha even tighter.
“A lot.”
“what······”
The atmosphere in the hospital room was a little warm.
Narsha, who smiled shyly, wrapped her arms around the nape of my neck. He pressed his body tightly and whispered softly.
“Do you have anything to say?”
“Of course it is.”
“What?”
“Lukadelos. sure to die—”
Pooh-!
A powerful punch landed in the side.
Soy Sauce Punch. I couldn’t breathe for a moment.
“Don’t do that. Think carefully again.”
“······Sa, do you love me?”
“Right.”
As if getting the answer she wanted, Narsha gently kissed her on the cheek.
It was then.
“Kuhmm…”
someone coughed
Narsha and I turned our heads at the same time.
A doctor in a white coat was standing where their eyes met.
“I’m sorry for the affectionate act, but I have news that I need to tell you urgently.”
“Ah… yes.”
Narsha hurriedly got out of bed. I also adjusted the patient’s uniform to soothe my embarrassment.
Narsha asked cautiously.
“why? Is there something wrong with Leonard?”
But the doctor firmly shook his head.
“no. As you can see, Leonard is fine. He also has excellent resilience, and because he took that… illegal… potion in the right place at the right time, there will be no major problems in the future.”
Then he turned to Narsha.
“The news I want to tell you is about Narsha-sama.”
Naturally, my gaze also turned to Narsha. Come to think of it, Narsha was also wearing a hospital gown.
Even if he was drafted into the imperial family’s reinforcements, why would he have healed only the wounded in the third line…?
“Do not be alarmed and listen.”
In an instant, the air in the hospital room became heavy.
At the same time, I felt an unknown ominous feeling. Thoughts biting tail after tail gradually drifted to the bad side.
Was Narsha being attacked by a demonic beast due to an unexpected variable, whether it was a curse, a serious disease, or a magical discharge disorder?
gulp-
Nervous at the same time, Narsha swallowed dry saliva. Seriously, I waited for the doctor’s next words.
“Results of close inspection…”
The doctor paused for a moment, then raised his glasses and said:
“Narsha is currently in her third week of pregnancy.”
“······to?”
A stupid sound flowed from Narsha’s mouth.
“It is literally. You are currently pregnant. It’s still early days, but it’s an important fact, so it’s good to know in advance.”
“Really…?”
“Yes, really. In the future, you will have to change your lifestyle as well as your eating habits. In a way that is good for the baby as much as possible. The delivery details are here. By all means, congratulations to both of you.”
After spitting formal words, the doctor nodded lightly and then turned around.
As he was about to leave the hospital room, Narsha urgently grabbed him.
“Now, wait a minute!”
“What are you doing?”
After hesitating for a moment, he asked in a low voice.
“Then I can’t do it anymore…?”
“What do you mean?”
“…that’s it.”
“Is that it?”
“Yes, that.”
“Ah, is that what you mean?”
The doctor who understood the meaning of ‘that’ scratched his eyebrows as if embarrassed.
“Anyway, for the sake of the fetus in the womb, it would be better to refrain. Pleasure is fleeting, but results will follow you like a tag for the rest of your life.”
“Ah… I see. Go carefully.”
Drurrr
Before long, the door to the hospital room was closed, and Narsha cautiously turned to look at me. It was a little disturbed, and somehow sensitive eyes.
“Move. I mean, I’m pregnant now.”
“Uh, uh.”
I was about to get out of bed.
Anyway, it’s a body that needs to be rested.
But that wasn’t what Narsha wanted. He waved his hand toward the wall.
“no. Go to the side so we can lie down together.”
“・・・・・That, yes.”
I hesitantly moved to the side to create space. Narsha lay quietly in the gap. After staring at the ceiling for a long time as if in deep thought, he said quietly.
“hey.”
“yes?”
“I’ve been thinking about the name of the story, how about a room?”
“Okay? You don’t know for sure if it’s one room, two rooms, or three rooms.”
“······I heard and saw it. Let’s just have several rooms.”
***
······10 years later.
With the death of Lucadelos, the source of evil, and his men, there was no more danger to the empire.
Of course, there are still a few warlocks left, but there is no future for a group that has lost its leader.
The Empire pursued them to the end, and succeeded in eradicating all but a few. Many knights were disbanded one by one, and magic was developed in the direction of living rather than killing.
The long, protracted era of war was over.
Eternal peace has arrived in the Empire.
Even so, the Imperial Guard still maintained its position. No matter how safe the era has come, the emperor must be protected.
“I’ll go in first.”
exactly 4pm.
I packed my things and tried to leave the headquarters. However, Regilos, now a full-fledged guardian captain, blocked the way.
“Where are you going? We still have an hour left.”
“I’m going to go early today.”
“Oh, who wants it?” “With the authority of the Archmage.”
I carelessly twisted the corner of my mouth.
“If I had to pick one, you would be a great wizard too.”
“Ugh… is this a bully or a great wizard? Just go.”
Regilos went back to his place as if he didn’t want to look at him.
After exiting the headquarters like that, I headed to the Archinia First Museum.
First, say that Lewis has homework or something.
“Nice to meet you. It is a historical museum.”
The person in charge of the history museum opened the glass door.
I went in and searched for my family somewhere.
“uh? It’s Dad!”
A familiar voice heard shortly after.
I looked back there. Families were gathered in front of the exhibition hall, where pictures of past great wizards were listed.
In order, Louis is the first, Aria is the second, Shanir is the third, and Bedrin is the youngest.
And, Narsha surrounded by children.
“Wow! It’s Dad!”
“Dad! Dad!”
As if waiting for the mother bird, the children rushed in. He jumped from place to place as if he wanted to be hugged right away.
“Uh-huh, mom first.”
I left my children behind and went to Narsha.
However, Narsha’s condition was strange. I was staring blankly at my photos displayed inside the glass, as if possessed by something. Even with both eyes wet.
“uh? When did you come?”
Narsha hastily wiped away her tears. Are the children upset? I’m not one to cry because of that.
I asked in a worried tone.
“what’s the matter? what happened?”
“yes? No, just. Seeing that picture makes me cry.”
Narsha laughed Bessy as if she had never done that. Then he opened his arms wide.
“Oddly enough, I want to hug you so much. Hug me now.”
“I was surprised.”
Then my mind was put at ease.
Naturally, a happy smile appeared.
I took a step closer and gently hugged Narsha.
Warak
Her warmth spread throughout her body. A unique scent that makes you feel at ease.
I don’t know why.
This moment felt so precious. To the point where even my eyes are reddened for no reason.
“thank you. And I love you.”
