chapter 8
8 – You guys are kidnapped
Cynthia glanced at her Evan as she made her way inside the armory.
It was the first time since Dalian that I was alone with him, but there were a lot of things I wasn’t sure about.
‘A mana rank of F is almost non-existent.’
Evan definitely said that he had a magic power rank of F.
However, the [Stomach Pain Arrowhead] He caught was a very nasty item that had a magic rank of B. It is normal for a reaction to come out somehow, unless your stomach is completely paralyzed and you can’t feel the urge to vomit.
But Evan was calm.
He said, “He said he disenchanted the arrowhead. Can you elaborate?”
Cynthia demanded an explanation.
Evan put on a pathetic expression as if he didn’t know that, but he shook his head and replied.
I am being guided by the Armory.
“The cause of vomiting is that unclean magic attacks the stomach. As long as you protect the stomach, the unclean magic that has lost its place will return.”
“Evan, your magic rank is far below the arrowhead. You mean you won the magic battle with the arrowhead?”
“There is no need to fight. It’s designed to only attack the stomach, so it’s enough to hide it with magic.”
A clear answer.
Cynthia discovered that he had a deep understanding of magical powers.
‘I can see that I studied hard.’
There is such a student.
Students who take classes roughly and study by themselves in solitary rooms.
They have clear brains that can understand the principles only from the contents of textbooks.
“Do you like libraries?”
Evan was troubled by Cynthia’s words.
‘I was going to go there once.’
I have never been there in my previous life.
However, the contents of the textbooks were very poor, so Evan wondered if the books in the library were similar.
“I was going to go.”
“I see.”
Cynthia seemed to know something about Evan that she didn’t know.
‘You are very interested in theories.’
For some reason, the Winter Queen’s sword had been renewed.
Cynthia got some inspiration after sparring with Evan.
I feel like I can progress the Winter Queen’s sword to 6 stars.
She couldn’t get a clear shape, but that feeling dominated her whole body.
‘It’s been two years since I reached 5 stars.’
She felt stagnant.
The Winter Queen’s sword, which consists of a total of 9 surnames, has no major kanji except for ancestor, but Cynthia wanted to reach the level of her ancestor someday.
To see the tip of the sword is the wish of all swordsmen.
I asked Evan to demonstrate the transformed sword of the Winter Queen as an extension of this wish.
There was an uneasy mind.
Evan only looked at Cynthia’s face from her past, and she sent her a love letter once a week. It can be said to be the sincerity of many boys, but the contents of her letter were only compliments on Cynthia’s appearance.
‘A relationship between the opposite s*x has to come from the heart.’
She kept her innocence about her love for Cynthia La, who didn’t even have a fiancé yet.
In that sense, Evan, who had no interest in swords and only liked her appearance, was the worst for Cynthia.
Although the lustful gaze has only recently disappeared, her lustful personality has filled the void. Evan uses honorifics, but she doesn’t show the courtesy she deserves to a professor.
Does she still see herself as a woman or something?
Cynthia didn’t know.
※
“Promise me. If it becomes dangerous, I will give up right away.”
Cynthia said she reached the deepest she could go, she told Evan.
If you don’t have the confidence to channel the unclean magic, give up right away.
Evan sent her gaze to Cynthia again.
It’s not that her reaction isn’t understandable, but it’s too extreme.
No weapon here can harm Evan.
Evan said she was confident.
-hehehehe… It smells of humans, the smell of living humans.
-Come here. Don’t you need power?
Eerie voices from beyond the door.
All belong to evil spirits.
“Deep in the arsenal. The weapons in there are all conscious. For now, don’t touch the weapon, just step inside and feel the magic.”
It already surpasses the B+ rank with only the magical energy emitted by demons.
Evan wasn’t affected by the magic of her arrowhead, so she dragged her all the way here, but Cynthia’s worries didn’t disappear.
No matter how nasty Evan was, she didn’t want Cynthia to make Evan go crazy.
“It’s a long story.”
Evan took the lead and went in. Cynthia was startled and tried to catch him, but Evan jumped right in.
A lot of time has already passed.
Evan immediately wanted to train.
There was a large cavity beyond the door, and different weapons were enshrined on top of the 10 stone statues.
Intense mana that pierces the skin.
Evan protected his body with the same magical energy.
They were the ghosts of swords, whitish female figures flying around as if they could be seen.
-Welcome! A very cool and cute young boy has arrived?
-Go away, trivial thing. This child belongs to me.
As evil spirits approach, the power to suppress them grows stronger.
Evan felt a pleasant discomfort.
‘If I let go of my magic here, these guys will invade my mind to take over my body.’
When he was in the mountains, Evan did mental training alone, so it wasn’t fun at all. Having gained a small realization in the fight against the Paladin of the End, he thought that external stimuli would help him grow.
So to speak, evil spirits are external stimuli.
Evan opened the door that protected his mind.
-Oh… Have you given up?
-Boyfriend! I’ll take good care of your body!!
The evil spirits invaded Evan’s inner world.
Evan also sank into his inner self.
A world full of darkness.
Many stars are twinkling. The two evil spirits, each wearing a pure white uniform and red armor, did not understand the scene in front of them.
– What… This.
An evil spirit in red armor who can’t get his way.
-It must be the inside of a child… Why is the human inner world so vast?
Even the evil spirit in the white uniform couldn’t comprehend the scene in front of them.
It is literally “The universe.”
It was an area that could not be understood through cognition.
The demons soon felt a strong gravity pulling them down. Evil spirits were dragged headlong to the blue planet, close to our planet.
Shuuu……… !
Two lines of light embroidering the sky.
The evil spirits used all the magic they had in order to maintain their form.
Koo Kung!!
Soon, the two demons that were thrown away were pinned to the ground and unable to move.
-Keugh…… What kind of harmony is this with my 500-year life span!!
– Grandma… I’m going crazy too, what is this?
What is captured in the eyes is just a vast meadow.
I know that this is the boy’s inner world and the world of images, but I don’t know exactly what form it is.
It’s just that the boy I saw in real life is kneeling nearby and smiling slightly.
The two demons narrowed their eyes. A boy’s voice.
“Did you just say 500 years?”
-…… Then what will you do?
An evil spirit in a white uniform with white hair and a hairpin.
She looked up at her Evan with her anxious face.
Evan was happy. She didn’t expect much, but the long-lived guy took it.
Looks like they’re both swordsmen, but if they’ve lived a long time, they’ll have a lot of knowledge.
“You guys should help me with my training.”
-Now, wait a minute! Young master! It takes time to recover that mana. So can you let go for a moment?
The demon in red armor made a servile expression.
“If you let go, won’t you run away with your original sword?”
-That… Is that how you recover your mana?
“My magical power is greater than the two of you combined. Just recover here, just eat away at my mana.”
At Evan’s words, the red demon fell into despair. It is also dangerous to be trapped in an unknown image world, but the boy seemed more dangerous than he thought.
In the middle of the year, the red evil spirit is pouring down endless curses, but it is no longer able to reach the boy.
-「Red knight」, Stop it. It doesn’t work for this kid.
-Huh… It’s ruined…….
The evil spirit in the white uniform robbed herself of her clothes and rose from her seat.
“Hey, did you ask for help with training? If we cooperate, can you release them?”
The assumption that the evil spirit in the white uniform took her body was erased.
The boy in front of you is not an easy opponent.
Even if the body was taken away, it was absolutely impossible to move this vast world of images with the power of evil spirits.
“If you get tired of it, I will release it.”
The boy ordered with a nonchalant face.
“Come here and throw a curse at me.”
※
I closed my eyes and meditated.
There are demons all around you using energy and throwing curses, but it’s not too bad to distract them. The pain and agony that you wouldn’t normally feel comes up and you focus on meditation more.
The two demons are sweating profusely for some reason.
I don’t have a lot of mana used by evil spirits, but with this amount, the speed of recovery is faster.
This is my inner world and the world of images.
I kidnapped many of his minions when I fought against the Witch King in the past.
Even if they were killed, even if they were killed, they came back to life, and when they were imprisoned inside, they dried up and disappeared.
If these demons are useless, let’s get rid of them.
Still, having lived for 500 years, wouldn’t it be possible to use it for quite a long time? I finished my meditation feeling satisfied. The two demons were cast out.
-Hey, hey! I think I’m going to die!
-Is the child crazy to say that there is no change even after receiving such a large curse in succession?
Evil spirits, each pointing to the ground, startled.
It is not a habit to speak short. I am the owner of this place. Steering is also free.
I created gravity and pressed the two demons down.
The two demons screamed as they were pressed against the dirt floor.
-Ah!
-Aigoo! Little things catch evil spirits, catch them!
“Noisy. If you don’t listen, I’ll cut off the mana supply, so be quiet.”
Magic power is the lifeblood of evil spirits with only the soul remaining. When their mana runs out, they disappear, so the two demons shut their mouths tightly.
“I will come again next time, stay here. White, red.”
-Ha, Ha-yang…… ? The name of this seat is Karnwenna!
-Well, I’m just a red knight.
“Don’t say it twice.”
-……….
-……….
It’s finally completely quiet.
※
“Evan!”
Cynthia entered, breaking through her thick magic.
She desperately used her magic to save Evan, who had suddenly entered.
Awakening from within, Evan took a quick look at his audience before coming out.
The unclean magic has disappeared from exactly two swords. As Evan wanted, he kidnapped all the things that would help him train.
I wanted to catch all the evil spirits in this place, but that would be obvious.
Evan took it upon himself.
“I’ll be back.”
Evan said calmly.
I’m happy inside, but there’s no need to tell Cynthia. Cynthia looked curiously at Evan, who came out intact.
“Are you okay…… ? Or, it seems that an evil spirit has entered the body.”
‘……….’
Unexpectedly, Evan’s back goal was pulled by the words that hit him right in the middle.
Evan shook his head.
Cynthia let out a sigh of relief.
Since Evan did not feel any unclean magic, Cynthia did not doubt Evan.
“After… thank god. It’s dangerous here, so you should always be on your guard. Rather, weapons…….”
“It’s okay.”
“…… All right.”
Cynthia calmed down, nodding her head. Neither she nor he would want to have unclean things.
She should have found out on this occasion.
