My Villains Chapter 444
65. The Climax of Spring (19)
Children who wish to commit themselves to the Palace of La Palais, the home of the School of Elements, must meet certain qualifications.
Innate magical power, mystical lineage, outstanding intelligence, or endless desire.
Children who cross the palace gate become ‘students’ of the palace.
And those who are students cannot leave the palace or the mysterious island of Tirin Mel no matter what.
Whether the family you belong to is destroyed, whether you receive a letter from a loved one, whether you die at a young age and become a corpse, feel the limits of your talent and give up training, or become homesick and disabled, you can never go out.
To leave the palace, all seven grandmasters must agree or permission must be obtained from the high master, the palace’s rightful owner.
Persuading the seven grandmasters with strong personalities and expecting a high master to appear after having been vacant for more than six hundred years are extremely unlikely, so they are exceptions that are virtually meaningless.
So realistically, the easiest way for a student of the Palace of La Palais to go out into the world was to get out of student status.
Acquire the title of ‘Master’ by achieving great achievements in two or more elemental spells, or become a ‘Warlock’, commonly referred to as a battle mage, by being recognized for your combat skills.
However, unlike Warlocks, who are entitled to leave the palace upon receiving a title, Masters must complete special training.
The special education was combat training.
And Ellen received combat training, albeit in mock, from the time when she couldn’t cast off her spell and could not get off her student status. After being framed as a traitor who murdered his teacher and running out of the palace, he also accumulated rich practical experience.
Thanks to this, despite the young age of 18, she conquered the tomb of her ancestors and became a High Master, earning the title of ‘Grand Warlock’.
Having achieved such amazing achievements at such a young age, one would be arrogant—indeed, already arrogant enough to be overflowing, but Ellen was humble in the face of learning.
I knew how to learn from everything in the world, and I knew how to value experience and knowledge.
So even in the middle of a chaotic battlefield, the young Highmaster acted solely on learning.
Reconnaissance Mobility Firepower.
Watching, moving and hitting.
It was a summary of what Ellen had learned and experienced in combat.
Accordingly, she climbed onto the black carpet borrowed from her aunt and flew into the night sky, spreading mana with her back to the wind. Spreading like a loose net, Mana picked out the risk factors among countless soldiers. They were battle mages,
saboteurs, and those who possessed magic tools.
“Devartar ventum orsitum. At Ellen
‘s kind request, the wind spirit was spread under the black carpet. It is the order of ‘Fair Wind’.
Flying swiftly like a bird, she easily dodged the transparent bullet, green ray, and spear of power that flew towards her.
His pupils, which were filled with mana and glowing blue, were nailed to the battle mages of the Strom family. In order to stop the pouring fireballs, it looked like a ‘water cover’ was spread wide by gathering dry river water.
Ellen stirred the white birch wand she had picked up in the air as if drawing a picture.
“Kelus terra pillioronte. This
time, it was an encouragement toward the earth. The ground on which the battle mages stood was bubbling like boiling water.
Pak! A thick
wedge
-like pillar rose from the wriggling earth. ‘Stone Thorn’ accurately pierced the battle mage’s back with the wave cover open.
Shoot ah – the barrier of the river that lost its controller became a shower and soaked the floor.
Appreciating the scene, Ellen chanted an incantation in an overbearing tone.
“Flammae. ”
At the short call, the ‘flame cloak’ that surrounded her immediately split into three.
“Lumfere. ”
Three fireballs hit the ground.
Kwak-!
The two battle mages and twenty or so soldiers, who hurriedly cast spells, became chunks of grilled meat and scattered in all directions like well-trained falcons.
“Succendent earn adobit’sche. ”
Ellen added the order in an arrogant and slightly excited tone.
Hwareuk Guuu.
The fireball exploded and the pillar of fire soared, adding momentum and spreading out in all directions.
The ‘flame wave’ that spread round like a high and rough ripple in a pond hitting ribs and water striders swallowed up screaming soldiers in an instant.
Could
it be because he poured out orders nonstop for over five minutes? Ellen felt a bit drained.
She placed her finger on the tiara on her head, the ‘tricolor artificial flowers’, among which are the flowers embracing the transparent sparkling diamonds.
Uh-uh-uh-uh/
“Haeup haaa.”
A faint but fierce airflow flowed from the diamond and was sucked into his mouth and nose. Ellen puffed out her chest and took a deep breath.
Due to the mana that filled his entire body, his eyes shone even more blue. She looked down at the ground through her blurred vision.
“Ahhhhh!”
“Lord, Lord, Lord-”
The shimmering flames, the gently flowing rivers of smoke, and the dancing shadows.
Beautiful like a watercolor.
of course. Fire is always beautiful.
The swaying candle, the bonfire facing each other, the fire that warms the room, the torch that burns the darkness, the blazing fireball, the flame that kills the green, the breath that swallows the screams.
All fires are always beautiful.
“……Uhhhh.”
Ellen’s shoulders trembled with hazy eyes. Oddly enough, it’s because the embrace of a lover came to mind. Her arms, hard as a rock and soft as a cotton blanket, refreshing as a spring morning and as hot as a summer noon. If I could enjoy the scenery beneath my feet while being hugged by him…
Fortunately, the girl’s ideals were replaced by the magician’s rationality.
“Shoot!”
As soon as she heard the shout, she quickly pulled up the mana and pushed it into the crimson ruby embedded in her tiara.
Wedge liquid!
Shortly after Ellen disappeared, dozens of arrows ripped through her shadow.
A few seconds later, the fire witch, who took shelter in the dimensional border, was wearing a blizzard shield that did not match her nickname.
Survival is more important than hunting and maneuvering firepower in combat. Ellen strengthened the blizzard by adding seven words of magic and a huge amount of mana.
Whoa!
The arrows and miscellaneous spells that flew in succession were swept away by the fierce ‘cold armor’ and lost momentum.
“Ostende te viotus bestia. An
ice statue popped out of the blizzard at Ellen’s muttered incantation. The ‘Frost Beast’, the size of a bull resembling a wolf with wings, attacked the archers.
“Now to the cold? A wizard who can handle four elements…
Gossein, who appeared with 12 battle wizards, burst out laughing in disbelief.
Then, as if the fire witch had heard the sigh and protested, she pulled out a ‘lightning arrow’ from the tip of the gray-white wand. And he pierced the sergeant who was shouting while commanding the archers.
“Huh.”
Gossein, an old mage, is one of the ten best wizards in the Mittergerland Empire. Because of her high level of knowledge, she was well aware of the meaning of the group of spells that the young woman was boasting about.
“Are you a descendant of a demon?”
Regarding fire and cold, it was clear that he had reached a real level, and his ability to handle wind was also worthy of calling himself a master.
Earth and electricity didn’t look very familiar, but it was impressive to see him freely cast even low-level spells.
Is that all? Isn’t it showing off high-speed chanting that skips more than half of the order like eating rice? Dealing with the five elements and performing non-stop talents are shocking enough, but even those who show off such majesty are sorcerers who have just reached adulthood.
In Go Se-in’s view, that achievement was not something that could be achieved through talent. It must have been the lineage of the wizard god.
“no. It’s not the time to be admiring it…
The boy who lived begging in a back alley grew up safely and finally became a famous magician thanks to the kindness of the Strom family.
Go Sein had served the duke for more than seventy years, but he still felt that he had not paid off his debt. He will gladly offer his spell to his lord.
“Are you ready?”
“yes.”
“Then let’s begin.”
The 12 battle mages standing on top of the twelve-sided magic circle murmured their spells.
To that end, the fire witch, who sensed some serious presence, flew towards the magic circle with a carpet. I quickly moved my lips and stirred the birch wand, and dozens of ice spears and fire arrows rained down.
Jjoong!
At that time, the few remaining saboteurs desperately opened the force field, and the baptism of ‘Frost Awl’ and ‘Flame Arrow’ disappeared leaving flying ice fragments and sparks.
Absorbing the mana delivered by the 12 battle mages, Gossein leisurely chanted.
After completing this spell, he and the wizards who assisted him would have to spend several years training, but if he could finish the battle quickly, it was well worth it.
A leisurely demeanor does not necessarily mean sluggishness, so the old man’s order was not long overdue.
Kugugu Palace.
Immediately after the dark green air current wrapped around Goseiin’s body, the old man’s body began to swell rapidly.
The dwarf shoulders became round and wide, six tentacles sprouted from the back plate, and the fingers of both arms joined together to look like tentacles. The whole body was covered with dark green scales, and at the same time both legs became thick like those of a turtle. Its toenails grew long and sharp, and the webs grew between the toes.
‘Gossein’s transformation’ ended in just three breaths, and a Hydra as huge as a fortress was sitting where the old man was standing.
Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
The magical monster with nine heads roared.
“Everyone get out of the way! Open the way!”
“Aaaagh!”
The imperial soldiers split left and right without hesitation. The Hydra attacked Ellen, boasting unexpected agility while dragging its heavy torso.
“Keugh.”
As the heads that looked exactly like dragons flew at them like arrows, Ellen gnashed her teeth and rolled the carpet. When the sound of their mouths touching passed the back of their heads, a cold sweat broke out.
“Okay, let’s do it.”
It was just as she muttered coldly and was about to strike back.
“Stop Ellen!”
It was Aktufir Ol, the Grand Master of La Palais Palace, who flew between the Hydra and the Fire Witch with both hands flashing golden.
“Goseiin! Stop you too!”
Cheeik!
Two of the ten golden rings on both thumb and forefinger melted together with the smoke. One pair of them covered Aktupir’s huge body, and the other pair became huge spears.
bang!
The golden ax split one of the heads of the hydra at once. However, Hydra didn’t care and stretched out the remaining eight heads to aim at Ellen.
”right now!”
The four golden bracelets on Aktupyr’s arms trembled and emitted yellow lightning. The electric current from his hand poured straight into the tip of the ax and spread out in a fan shape.
Let’s make it!
A bolt of lightning lit up the dark sky. The gigantic hydra shook its scales and shrank.
“Quod papillon!”
Seizing the opportunity, Ellen opened her lips and created a ‘seori butterfly’ that exceeded twenty and swung her wand to summon the army of ‘dance spirits’.
It was literally an instant when her surroundings were filled with whitish light and light green air currents.
“Ellen told me to stop!”
“You cheeky old man! Do you dare to order me?”
Aktufir flew quickly to block Ellen’s attack, but the swarm of butterflies that blew white cold air in all directions escaped him in a gale.
At that moment, an explosion erupted on the ground, which was covered with fire, smoke, blood, and soldiers.
What rose with
a boom/ deafening sound was the snake’s head, which was a mixture of mud and sand. The huge ‘mud snake’ swallowed the blue and white whirlwind that Ellen poured out at once.
“Nashal Anwei!”
When the fire witch shouted while wearing a flame cloak, the woman holding the staff on the snake’s head pretended to shrug her shoulders.
“Why are you screaming and doing that?”
“Are you challenging the authority of the High Master?”
“I hope it can’t be. Aktupir, speak quickly.”
The old wizard, who dyed the young woman’s clothes and skin golden, sighed and opened his mouth.
“Are you going to reveal your identity as well as being involved in a war between nations? Be respectful and step back.” ”joy. I’m the owner of the palace –
“Please shut that mouth. This is a recommendation and a request, so stop doing this immature thing right away!”
“The old lady is whining.”
When Aktufir screamed in frustration, Ellen suddenly giggled.
The young woman who looked like an angel smiled brightly, but the two grandmasters raised their mana instead of appreciating her cute face.
It is because of reading the anger or madness that swayed above the blue eyes.
“Then stop it once. A barrage that Ellen had prepared with hand and focus instead of spells floated over her gorgeous blonde hair.
Starting with the fireball, frost awl, razor blades, arrows and lightning rained down like heavy rain.
“…Ah, I’m tired.”
Nashal Anwei’s staff seemed to split in two, engulfed in flames and cold. Three snakes, each made of mud, fire and ice, wrapped around her.
Kwalung!
A bolt of lightning struck the cloudless night sky, and Aktupyr’s golden giant was entangled in a yellow current.
“Because you seem immature-!”
He started swinging his ax with an angry roar.
Keith.
As the High Master and the two Grand Masters clashed, the Hydra, which had already increased to ten heads, shook off its paralysis and stretched itself.
“……Sir.”
The red knight, who led a handful of soldiers and rushed into the enemy camp in confusion, looked up at the hydra and cursed.
“It’s going to be crazy, really.”
He kicked the ground, dangling the dark red blade nearly 3 meters.
Flash!
When a head resembling a dragon fell off along with a blade of sword light, the hydra let out an eardrum-breaking roar.
Amidst the mayhem of Abi Gyu-hwan, a change that no one noticed began.
The river, which had passed through Asag in the far northwest and was stained with all sorts of fraud, was gradually losing its color.
But even then, no one paid attention to the change in the river.
