Reunion After 50 Years (1)
Before Nellin and Fresia’s group arrived, Kkanjuk made a crow into a dominated beast then waited on the tree watching for them to arrive.
Why did he choose a crow as the dominated beast?
Because... it’s cool!
A lich with a crow as dominated beast somehow looks like it has something! was the reason.
50 years of time passed, but the monsters contacted through the broadcast are basically childish and selfish, so Kkanjuk who only saw and dealt with such ones couldn’t help but be influenced to some extent.
If not so he wouldn’t have done this kind of thing with the reason of wanting to show the cool magic he developed after becoming a lich without coming out right away and explaining!
And seeing through the dominated beast that Nellin immediately noticed his existence Kkanjuk was happy.
‘As expected the sense is the same, Nellin.’
Even during the black dragon subjugation Nellin took the role of detecting presence using sensitive senses and notifying danger.
Recalling the nostalgic memory Kkanjuk used warp and revealed his appearance.
First Kkanjuk who appeared designating Nellin as the starlight shooter as if seeing for the first time.
Each entered combat preparation and Nellin drew the bowstring and asked Kkanjuk.
What was the name before becoming a lich.
‘Hmm? Don’t tell me suspecting the lich is me? Nellin has been sharp in sense since before. But seems doesn’t know exactly it’s me.’
If revealing the identity as is here it would flow peacefully without particularly fighting.
But.
‘For that the magic prepared until now is wasteful!’
Kkanjuk wanted to show the super awesome magic! he developed even if acting a bit more to the companions.
Therefore Kkanjuk acted.
[Don’t know.]
“Don’t know?”
[Yeah, I was me from the time I recognized myself! Clearly there must have been a before this body for me too... unfortunately I don’t remember. But at this point such a thing has no relation at all.]
Pushing with the act of I’m an amnesia lich so asking the name is useless!
Tak!
Kkanjuk flicked his finger and created a barrier around the hill.
[What is important to me now is proof! Yeah! Proof of power! Whether my magic works on you called legendary heroes! Only that proof is important!]
“Amnesia lich that makes sense!”
[I’m here though?]
“So annoying! More than that stop the act of voice ringing in this head!”
[No vocal cords so how do you want me to convey my words?]
Actually can convey.
Even without vocal cords Kkanjuk could speak directly.
However if doing so couldn’t use the voice modulation used this flame speech time.
In other words Ventus Frail’s voice comes out as is so Kkanjuk was continuing to use flame speech.
‘Exchanging conversation with Nellin after a long time longing pierces.’
If according to the heart wanting to exchange words a bit more, but if exchanging words any more seemed might get caught for no reason and couldn’t properly show the magic.
[Small talk ends now. Come! See my power! And show your power!]
Kkanjuk immediately started the battle.
-Uuuuuung!
Centered on Kkanjuk’s body massive mana began to fluctuate.
The moment everyone tensed at the massive mana, the first to move was Nellin.
Piyung!
The prepared arrow from the already drawn bowstring flew toward Kkanjuk.
An arrow with power that pierces even the black dragon’s hide if scales peeled.
However.
Kaaaang!
Colliding with the barrier unfolded at the same time as drawing up mana the arrow bounced off.
[Did you think I wouldn’t even have this kind of preparation? This time it’s my turn!]
Pajijijijik!
Dozens of arrows made of mana appeared around Kkanjuk.
[Go.]
The moment Kkanjuk swung his arm dozens of arrows were shot toward the group at once.
Kuung!
“Heup! Holy wall!”
Paulen stamped the shield on the floor and drew up holy power and activated holy law.
The holy law holy knights can use ‘Holy Wall’.
A holy law that summons a wall made of holy power and protects allies from the enemy’s attack.
Kakakakakakang!
The arrows Kkanjuk shot poured on the Holy Wall.
Magic of forming arrows with mana and shooting is common.
But shooting this many amounts at once, and that arrows containing considerable power was a technique a ordinary mage could never cast.
[Hoo, as expected Paladin. Have that much defense means. Then how about this.]
‘Not just protecting but you have to move directly for the magic I show to increase more.’
When Kkanjuk swung the hand bone upward a golem of fully 3M size rose from the floor.
Kung! Kung! Kung! Kung!
The golem charged quickly unfitting the body size and swung a fist made of stone toward the holy wall Paulen unfolded.
Kwaaaaang!
“Uk!”
Not just formed with magic but a huge physical impact made of actual stone.
Even if no damage to the Holy Wall a not small impact was transmitted to Paulen using it.
“Paulen!”
Amelia called Paulen and cast a blessing on him.
A blessing that increases the body’s strength and injects vitality.
Then Nellin who nocked an arrow on the bowstring again shouted.
“Hey! Release!”
The Holy Wall disappearing together with Nellin’s words.
Fuuuung!
This time an arrow containing mana flew toward Kkanjuk.
Kaaaaang!
However this time too Nellin’s arrow was blocked by the barrier made of magic.
But it wasn’t that it didn’t work at all.
‘Becoming the opponent’s position is extremely fierce. If not blowing in more mana in advance it would have been pierced.’
“Eit, this doesn’t work either. Paulen! That much you can face alone!”
“Of course!”
The golem this time struck down a heavy rock fist toward Paulen.
A situation easily imagined of Paulen being crushed by the rock fist as is if not blocking.
But what is here is Paulen.
The strongest holy knight at the Holy City.
The strongest holy knight who can uniquely take the role of the Saintess’s escort.
“Haaaaat!”
Deeeeong!
Swinging the large shield in the left hand upward Paulen performed an unbelievable act.
Paulen bounced the fist of the golem that is 3M.
It didn’t end with that.
“Don’t look down on my muscles! Lich iiiit!”
In a state of wearing full body armor Paulen kicked the ground and jumped up.
Paulen who raised the sword in the right hand high struck down toward the golem as is.
Kagagagagak!
Not cutting creating a clean cross section like a sword master, but bisected the golem as if smashing with force.
Seeing that scene Nellin and Kkanjuk overlapped the companion who was together early.
‘Was a guy using shield like Aldor.’
Nellin the iron wall shield Aldor Meyer.
‘Saw in the broadcast too but has foolish strength like Cachal.’
Kkanjuk recalled the strong arm warrior Cachal Demft.
“Did well! Dealt with the annoying guy!”
[Thinking it’s the end with just one?]
When Kkanjuk swung his hand again this time 2 golems rose and at the same time 6 golems of adult human size rose from the ground.
“While saying lich the thing that can be done is pushing with numbers?”
[No way! Still lots I want to show!]
Kkanjuk raised the hand bone high upward.
-Uuuuuung!
A huge magic circle on the sky together with a huge sphere of flame burning crimson was generated.
The ominous looking crimson red gave the impression of flames burning in hell, and containing the meaning of dropping huge hellfire Kkanjuk named this magic.
[Inferno Fall!]
“Th, that is what...”
“As the name completely hell’s fire.”
“What kind of magic is that!”
“D, d, dangerous!”
Godric’s group looked at the scene happening now with bodies stiffened as if unbelievable.
“Crazy! Fresia!”
“Leave it to me. Paladin Paulen, if I block prioritize dealing with the golems. Amelia continue blessing on Paladin Paulen!”
“Yes!”
Fresia drawing up holy power tried to unfold a hemispherical deployment that protects all allies unlike the Holy Wall that blocks one direction.
But Gracie stopped Fresia who was trying to draw up holy power more and unfold holy law.
“No! Leave here to me!”
“Gracie?”
“I am the proud Heavenly Law mage! Descendant of Ventus Frail! Not here just to quietly watch! That magic! I’ll solve!”
[Hoo, you say?]
The appearance of Gracie suddenly stepping forward drew Kkanjuk’s interest.
Although Inferno Fall containing massive mana, Kkanjuk was calculating that if Fresia’s barrier it would sufficiently block.
But suddenly Gracie stepping forward.
At first disliked acknowledging Gracie the magic tool doping mage as a natural mage, but still continuing to watch the broadcast Kkanjuk secretly grew attached.
No matter how magic tool doping mage the appearance of suffering because of the paper was the same mage!
Above all after hearing how the situation went after he disappeared a heart of wanting to cheer also arose a bit.
Thinking about it hadn’t seen the appearance of Gracie properly using magic tools and using magic.
Therefore Kkanjuk wanted to confirm.
What the skill of his descendant Gracie is like.
[Huhahahaha! Good, then try blocking somewhere!]
Gracie extended her hand toward the falling Inferno Fall.
Gracie has magic tools hanging all over fingers, arms, ears, neck, legs.
But that is not just hanging as luxury.
Gracie researched how to utilize all the magic tools she wears to fill her own lacking and found the answer of how to exert maximum efficiency.
Even if Gracie alone has just ordinary talent.
‘Activate 4 and 5! Start calculation assist! Activate 12 and 15! Start mana assist!’
If utilizing magic tools Gracie didn’t doubt she could reach a great archmage.
‘Activate 7 and 8! Start attribute enhancement!’
Several magic circles overlapped and appeared before Gracie’s eyes.
Can’t use one huge magic circle at once.
Instead receiving the help of magic tools simultaneously deploying several magic circles and matching combination and maximizing each magic circle’s effect and raising power.
‘Activate 21! Start formula focusing!’
Pajijijijik!
The overlapped piled magic circles resonated and caused sparks.
Had never done focusing of this many magic circles until now.
But.
‘Have to do now! Can’t stupidly do nothing like last time anymore!’
The decided attribute is water.
What desired is power that can break magic not size matching Inferno Fall.
Compress water to the limit and gather in one place and shoot in one go.
“Pierce... era──!!!”
A water stream of just arrow one level thickness was shot toward Inferno Fall.
Thickness that seems would just evaporate and disappear the moment touching.
But.
-Puuuuuuung!
Like a lie the magic Gracie unfolded pierced and burst the huge hellfire lump.
“Ha! Super awesome!”
At the feat Gracie accomplished the legendary hero let out exclamation.
What exclaimed wasn’t only Nellin.
Paulen too, Amelia too, Fresia too, and Godric’s group also surprised and looked at Gracie.
The mage who was always restless somewhere while hanging magic tools all over smashed the lich’s magic head-on.
‘Aah, magnificent.’
Kkanjuk was moved.
Even if used magic tools the magic Gracie used couldn’t be looked down on at all.
Simultaneously using several magic tools combining several formulas and sublimating into one magic.
Kkanjuk knows how amazing that is.
[The mage there. What is your name.]
At Kkanjuk’s question Gracie answered.
“I am... Gracie. Gracie Frail! Proud Heavenly Law mage! Descendant of Ventus Frail!”
Proudly more than any time.
