Fox Mask

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!

The pill of pain continuously violently jumped. Every time that intense fear shook Galahad.

The cause was that fox mask.

The pill of pain was fearing the guy wearing the fox mask. More violently than any time—.

Galahad contrary to such a pill of pain was feeling thick interest.

Because of the magic the fox mask used just now.

The fox mask appeared while distorting space where nothing is.

That was clear—.

‘It is space magic.’

Although the First Mage erected, the four magic towers that now disappeared were called the ‘perished 4 great magic towers’.

It was a story that comes down like a legend between mages.

Galahad knew that it is not a simple legend.

Then, the fox mask’s body stopped with a tuk—. The fox mask bent its head ninety degrees.

“Surely recognized?”

Around the fox mask undulated a little. No doubt. It was space magic.

“Surely recognized now?”

At the fox mask’s question Galahad realized it was a trap.

However, it was a trap Galahad cannot avoid.

It was the perished 4 great magic towers’ magic. How can one not see that.

“Did not know the Void Magic Tower is still there.”

“Really recognized! Wow— to think there is a human who recognizes this!”

“Using so openly how can one not recognize?”

“Usually cannot recognize.”

Then, the fox mask moved forward.

“Holding an egg.”

A voice was heard right beside. At some point the fox mask was on Galahad’s left.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

The pill of pain continuously trembled. Shouted to run away right now. Galahad lightly ignored.

“While receiving the forgotten existence’s protection—.”

The fox mask’s voice was heard from the right. At that turning his head, the fox mask was standing upside down on the right.

‘This is space magic.’

Galahad felt thick interest. Saliva fully turned in the mouth.

“And also recognizing this magic?”

A voice was heard from behind. Poked Galahad’s back of the head with a kok. Galahad furrowed his eyes and turned his head.

The fox mask was already far away.

“Honestly speak. Really the First Mage’s disciple?”

The fox mask tilted its head left and right. Exactly a shape of a child playing.

Although a light attitude, because of that rather more dangerous.

‘Knowing the First Mage. Is the First Mage still alive? Keeping in mind the possibility that I am the First Mage’s disciple.’

Galahad’s head quickly rolled.

“No, there is no way? That side is an Information Bureau agent though?”

At the continued fox mask’s words Galahad furrowed his eyes. Knew Galahad’s identity.

“Will you answer a bit? Who are you?”

The fox mask approached with a seongkeum. At some point the guy was right in front of Galahad.

The part where the fox mask’s pupils should be was all thick darkness. Beyond that as if nothing or as if there is something one should not see—.

Empty darkness stared at Galahad.

At that Galahad—.

“Special Mission Unit Captain Galahad.”

Put strength in the waist and straightened the posture.

The fox mask stopped with a tuk—.

“Aha, I see.”

The fox mask looked at Galahad.

Then, hot pain was felt from the left earlobe.

‘The left earlobe disappeared.’

At the coolness felt riding the neck Galahad furrowed his eyes.

‘This is space magic.’

Galahad concentrated on the pain and retraced the situation just now.

Even the flow of mana was not felt. As if natural Galahad’s earlobe disappeared.

Magic was largely composed of three stages.

Condensation, calculation, release.

Gathering mana is condensation, performing the formula and equation is calculation, finally scattering magic is release.

In release a specific action of trigger use was needed.

For example like Galahad flicking his finger—.

That was not something one can omit by compressing the process.

The fox mask had no action at all.

There was no way Galahad would miss even a trivial action.

Then—.

‘It is the gaze.’

It was clear there is something in that gaze covered by the mask.

‘Does that make sense? The eyes playing a trigger role?’

Then, the fox mask nodded.

“Come, asking again. The First Mage’s disciple?”

The fox mask’s voice was still leisurely.

“Well.”

Galahad rather twisted the corners of his mouth and provoked.

“This.”

The fox mask’s head finely turned. Although a very fine difference, to Galahad it was clearly seen.

Examined that gaze based on the mask’s direction. It was the right foot. Simultaneously with confirmation moved the foot. The place where the foot was until just now was deeply dug. Clean exactly as if erased.

Really the gaze is the release action—. Galahad sincerely admired.

“Wow—. Recognized this?”

The fox mask also admired out loud. However, what contained in that voice was all small interest.

‘The space itself disappeared.’

Galahad muttered that sweet sentence.

Erased space—. that was a completely different story from burning or freezing something with magic.

‘How can that be possible?’

With the concept Galahad has one could not understand.

No, natural.

Because that was a stroke that disappeared together with the perished magic tower.

‘Finally found.’

The corners of Galahad’s mouth rose.

*

‘···What on earth is this guy doing?’

The fox mask furrowed its eyes while looking at Galahad.

Erased the earlobe as a warning. Blood continuously flows riding that ear, yet Galahad was rather laughing.

“This the mood is a bit bad.”

The fox mask grumbled and stared at the guy again.

This time was thinking of warning certainly. Because shoulders are two so one degree would be fine without.

Then—.

Galahad flicked his finger first.

The fox mask clicked its tongue. Knew that Galahad’s magic is fast. Probably the best among mages.

However, no matter how fast the guy was a revised mage.

‘One has to clearly inform the difference and talk.’

The fox mask leisurely waited for Galahad. Then suddenly felt something strange.

Galahad did not attack the fox mask.

The magic Galahad unfolded—.

‘Cool mist?’

Cool mist was one of the basic magics. It was for the use of slowing enemies in the range with mist with chill.

It was magic with strong auxiliary nature rather than attack.

“Wow— you are really amazing.”

The fox mask sincerely admired. Because cool mist was quite a picky magic to the fox mask.

“Is it the correct answer?”

At the voice heard beyond the mist the fox mask obediently nodded.

“Among what that side can do?”

To the fox mask mist was a frontal method. Quite picky.

However—.

It was only that degree.

The fox mask deeply erased the space in front. A small void took place in empty space. That deep void greedily sucked the surroundings.

The mist full of the surroundings disappeared in an instant.

Cool mist was a quite smart method. Because the temperature is low it was not easy to clear.

It was only that the gap was excessively large.

What appearance would one show in front of such an overwhelming gap.

‘Would despair? It would be sweet.’

The fox mask could not hide the excitement.

However, Galahad’s reaction was different from the fox mask’s prediction.

The guy—.

“Oh, clearing in that way. Interesting.”

Was fully laughing as if really fun and cannot endure.

At that the fox mask furrowed its eyes.

‘Would not be the First Mage’s disciple.’

The First Mage disliked guys whose head melted. Yet that guy was a guy whose head melted more than anyone the fox mask met.

No, not melting the head with magic but before. There was no way the First Mage would have accepted such a guy.

That was more the problem.

Because a guy who is not the First Mage’s disciple found out the fox mask’s identity.

‘Too large a variable.’

The guy was a variable. And that a very clear variable—. all clues shouted that one has to remove the guy.

The method of processing was simple. It was the problem of giving the guy to the ruler. From the beginning the fox mask also tracked the guy with that thought.

However—.

‘Fun.’

Galahad ended up stimulating the fox mask’s interest.

And that very strongly—.

Melting the brain with magic not enough, recognizing the fox mask’s authority, using the egg like a staff was also interesting.

Among them the best—.

‘A mage holding an egg is that Adrianne’s fiancé.’

That fact properly stimulated the fox mask’s interest.

Originally, one would have moderately minced Galahad and given to the ruler and covered the situation.

Because that was the fastest and simplest solution.

Now the thought changed.

‘This side is more fun though.’

Kkeueung—. the fox mask let out a low groan.

Although there is fun, yet not to the extent of accepting the trouble of processing the ruler.

Then, the guy put a cigarette in his mouth. Lemon scent deeply spread. This scent···. the fox mask tilted its head.

“Is the ruler looking for me.”

Galahad opened his mouth first. The fox mask was softly surprised.

Because that question was the meaning of noticing the fox mask’s existence even when with the ruler.

Fun tilted a bit more this way.

‘Just a bit more—.’

If just a little more fun one would definitely decide the heart—.

“Now a bit busy.”

Galahad rather showed leisure.

The fox mask softly snorted.

“Sorry but, that side’s intention does not matter. Well, although understanding that side’s confidence as the academy’s youngest graduate, anyway a mage though?”

“Speaking exactly as if you are not.”

“I was also a mage once. However—.”

Then, a very small sound was heard.

‘Still not knowing the topic.’

The fox mask clicked its tongue softly and put strength in the eyes.

At some point the pointed ice that approached right in front disappeared as is.

Certainly amazing speed. To the extent unbelievable that a mage.

“Certainly amazing speed. So would have been a well-going agent. But no matter how fast, would it be faster than my eyes?”

Although kindly explained, the answer was an ice awl.

The fox mask furrowed its eyes. The ice awls that flew consecutively were erased at once.

“Quite stubborn.”

“Firm.”

That answer was still leisurely. Then, around the fox mask’s waist shook a little.

At that lowering the gaze, a large ice awl was stuck.

‘When?’

The fox mask furrowed its eyes.

The fox mask’s eyes were covered only when the guy laid mist. Then is it saying prepared one more magic in that short moment?

Above all—.

‘Thought up to here from when laying mist?’

The fox mask softly admired. Certainly skill worth having.

It was only that the opponent was not good.

The fox mask lightly shook its body. The stuck ice awl scattered.

“Saw? Anyway no. Wait quietly. Because thinking of disposal.”

“Oh, used space magic for defense?”

It was a situation where the confident strike could not even make a scratch. Although despairing is appropriate, the guy’s corners of the mouth were raised more.

‘Shall I just process now.’

The fox mask sincerely pondered.

Then, Galahad slowly opened his mouth.

At that the fox mask furrowed its eyes. It was clear one would say save or something. No matter how the brain melted life was a human’s instinct.

‘Then not fun—.’

Unlike the fox mask’s worry Galahad did not beg.

No, far from begging—.

“Will you inform about the Void Magic Tower’s magic?”

Boldly requested the fox mask.

‘Heo—.’

The fox mask softly admired. Even if saying save it is lacking yet asking to inform space magic—. surpassing the limit a crazy guy.

Because of that rather interest cooled.

Although large firmness is fun, a guy who does not know the topic and just stretches was not fun.

“A stupid guy who does not know the value.”

“When did I say just give?”

At the out of the blue words the fox mask furrowed its eyes.

No matter how much the guy presents it was useless. Because the fox mask’s authority is something whose value one cannot measure.

Then, the guy twitched his finger.

“Let’s exchange.”

“Ha!”

Too speechless so laughter naturally came out. Exchange—! Even if shaking all the guy has it was a handful to the fox mask.

“Accompanied for fun—.”

“My words are not finished yet.”

The guy abruptly cut the fox mask’s words. Even though showed the gap such an attitude—.

When the fox mask tried to put strength in the eyes, thick mana was felt from the guy. Brilliant light spewed from the magic circle engraved on the guy’s wrist.

‘Linking the First magic circle and egg and using? Then is it that touched the magic circle?’

At that clever flow the fox mask admired. Certainly amazing. One had no choice but to acknowledge. The guy is clever to the extent unbelievable that a mage.

‘How did the head melt—. No, can one go that far because the head melted?’

Then—.

“Hellfire.”

A fireball rose in front of the guy.

It was a small fireball. Such a fireball that because the size is small at a glance looks like low rank magic.

Although the fox mask usually does not panic, this time one had no choice but to stutter words.

The hellfire the guy unfolded—.

“You! How the Karma Magic Tower’s magic!!”

Because it was the perished magic tower’s magic—.

“Now does the heart to trade arise?”

The corners of Galahad’s mouth deeply rose.

****

“Pumpkin, do you know about the perished 4 great magic towers?”

Pumpkin furrowed his eyes at First making an out of the blue sound.

“Originally magic was divided into 4 great attributes. Fire, water, earth, air.”

“No interest.”

“The First Mage erected that as each magic tower, yet at some moment all disappeared. One calls that the perished 4 great magic towers.”

“I said no interest.”

First continued the words without caring.

“Isn’t magic derived from the demon race? Early magic had considerable side effects. It is the reason the First Mage divided into 4 magic towers. The moment attributes mix humans cannot handle or something—.”

Pumpkin flowed with one ear and examined the front. Guys wearing gloomy hoods were busily going around.

“Unlike current magic developed matching humans, primitive magic that power was dimensionally different.”

“Noisy.”

“If only one can obtain the Karma Magic Tower’s magic called hell’s fire, one can win Galahad with magic.”

Excitement was full in First’s voice.

Eventually, it was the imagination of winning Galahad in a bet again.

First chattered quite many such useless words.

“Dirty. Hold your breath a bit.”

Although Pumpkin grumbled, First did not even pretend to hear.

“Of course, this bet I will win.”

Thick parchment was held in First’s hand.

It was parchment organized by synthesizing the information Galahad gave and the information obtained from the Information Bureau.

Although First becomes a guy with a hole in the brain if only related to Galahad, at the same time efficiency rose several times more than usual.

It was the reason First could closely chase right behind Galahad.

Thanks to that such a clean map could come out. This was amazing even in Pumpkin’s view.

It was a clean map to the extent suspicious that First wrote.

‘With this one might really win—.’

Actually already caught several mages. In contrast Galahad departed later than them. Even Adrianne headed to the front line.

“This time will be different.”

First’s voice was quite firm. Although a very meaningful line, it was words First did every time.

Following that Pumpkin who stood felt a subtle feeling. Soon realized what is strange.

The number of mages was fewer than expected.

“There, isn’t the number few?”

“Error range.”

“But continuously few. Hey!”

First was already running out.

‘Hey, no way.’

First and Pumpkin moved without even sleeping.

No matter how Galahad this time would not do.

Pumpkin shook his head and drew the sword.

‘Ah, trapezius—.’

Pumpkin muttered a curse and released the strength of the shoulder.

****

“Came again?”

Palho wearing a crow mask fully furrowed his eyes.

In front of that a black mage was deeply bowing his head.

“Yes, this time it is the disciples of a second-class wanted.”

“What is that—.”

The crow hurriedly stood from the seat and went outside.

Far away guys pressing gloomy hoods were approaching.

Whether the momentum fully rose, it was a confident gait.

That confidence did not last that long.

Because ones wearing gloomy hoods were gathered—.

‘······Is this correct?’

Mages—.

No, miners were gathering on their own.

'Is there a spare pickaxe?'

At an untimely boom Palho was busy.
