Reborn as the Enemy Prince

Chapter 29. What you can handle (6)

The forest, which was once full of green, was suddenly immersed in deep gray darkness.

It was an unusually blue season with many stars, but the deep and dense forest did not show even a single piece of sky. The sky, barely visible between the leaves, can be seen for a moment, but is soon obscured and becomes invisible due to the shaking of the leaves in the wind.

At that time, a blue shooting star fell, leaving a short afterimage. But there was no one here who could look at it and mutter a wish.

First of all, there was no sky to be seen and no one was leisurely enough to look at the sky and exclaim.

– Pajik Pajijik!

Instead, there was a wizard who looked like he was holding the tail of a fallen shooting star in his hands. The gathering purple mana caught the wind, causing the robe, long enough to touch the floor, to swell and flutter.

My eyesight was not good enough to see far away or discern in the dark, and I had not learned any magic to make it possible. However, Euria’s eyes were precisely watching the direction in which the enemy was approaching. Because I was able to sense how many people were approaching from where and how many people were coming from the thin and huge mana spread on the floor I was standing on.

“two people.”

Not only was there no sound of the horse’s hooves, but there was no sense of energy from a large animal, so it must have been running on two legs.

Still, it’s fast.

Euria felt that and smiled slightly and muttered.

“Are you excited to come to the forest after just breathing in the sand? Wolf cubs.”

There was no tension whatsoever in his words, body language, or facial expressions, but it wasn’t just his eyes. There was a reason why the energy of those approaching was unusual, but it was more because I had no idea what Arsene’s situation was.

– Pajik Pajik!

The power of the lightning that flickered repeatedly in Euria’s hand gathered at her fingertips. What had been shining like a purple star that had come down to the ground gradually decreased in size and soon became invisible, as if nothing had ever existed.

After that, Euria extended her right hand forward.

A thin bolt of lightning, completely devoid of color and light, quietly stretched out from the tips of long fingers that were always hidden by the hem of a wide sleeve. I felt a crunching sensation under my feet for a moment and then it disappeared. It was the movement of water.

Invisible lightning and water were sent to the enemies, and before long, a purple light flickered once from a distance that was neither too far nor too close.

And it started.

– Quagwang! Quaaaang!

The water that had condensed silently exploded from the floor. When the bodies of the two approaching warriors were completely soaked in water, the power of the lightning spread in the air touched the water.

– I’m going to go to the middle of the day!

Electric current flowed into the bodies of the warriors, who were not yet protected by shields and were completely soaked in water.

Euria, who launched a preemptive attack that was enough to kill any animal living in the forest, teleported onto the thick branches of a tree a long way away.

It was a quick move without even thinking about checking what damage they had suffered. Because I knew very well that these warriors were not going to die like that anyway.

– Faaah!

Unlike Arsene, Euria did not fight with the sword-wielding guys. Euria’s fighting style was to quickly move her body and fire magic wildly before those who identified the attacker’s location rushed at her.

Therefore, he had no intention of giving the guys a chance to run towards him and swing his sword.

– Jijijijik!

I unleash the power of lightning once again. I gathered the mana that had been spread in the air a little while ago, enveloped their entire bodies, and poured out the power of electricity.

Every time the forest flashed, I could catch a glimpse of the guys who were now so close. Both are carrying swords and have no major wounds on their faces or bodies. They were unable to quickly remove the red shield they had put on.

Euria frowned slightly as she realized that the attack from earlier had not had much effect.

‘I can cure most things, but I can’t summon lightning.’

The opponent was definitely different from the guys who came in a group and attacked Euria and Arsene.

Euria cannot move while summoning dark clouds and lightning in the sky. Isn’t it tantamount to committing suicide to perform such large-scale magic without another wizard to assist you? He’ll rush in and point his sword at you before you can use it properly.

So I have no choice but to just kill him.

Euria’s body disappeared once again.

And this time, it appeared in the direction from which they had run, on a rock a little distance behind them.

The floor was wet and magic energy was still spreading around them. They haven’t found where Euria is yet. Euria knew exactly where they were.

Two spears, like whirling streams of water, but with sharper tips much harder than tempered iron, appeared in front of Euria. Magical energies of different properties were entangled on the surface. He created a water spear covered in purple sparks.

Euria did not delay.

-Ssam!

Spears containing both water and electricity, which could not have been created by anyone other than Euria, were extended towards them one by one. The two warriors, who saw the spear rushing forward in an instant, drawing a dazzling trajectory, each raised their swords and tried to strike it down. It was overlooked that what Euria created was a ‘water’ spear.

– Sigh!

The spear that touched the sword immediately lost its shape and rained down.

– Pajijik! Pajik!

The power of electricity permeated in the water was transmitted through the knife to the hand. If the body is protected by a shield, wouldn’t it be okay to attack directly with the hand that is outside the shield?

The electric attack that penetrated their bodies in an instant made them stop before they could even drop their swords. It was temporary paralysis due to electric shock.

Without wasting time, Euria suddenly raised her arms. Then the earth shook, as if moving along the arm, scattering dirt in all directions. It was the power of water rising through the ground.

– Quaaaa!

Two water columns filled with such sharp energy trapped them and swirled around them. At the same time, spears of lightning with a light so bright that it hurts the eyes shot out one after another from Euria’s hands.

Those trapped in the rapidly rotating water suffer cuts and tears all over their bodies. If the tip of the water spear is forged like cast iron, the whirlwind of the water column is forged like a blade.

Nevertheless, the warriors did not die.

The bodies of those trapped in the gushing water column and even allowing lightning attacks glowed red. The healing power was revealed.

– Quaaaang! Quang!

Two streaks of lightning fell in the middle of the water column.

Surprisingly, one of the two raised his barely mobile arm and swung his sword. Ugh! A red aura appeared on the sword along with a vibrating sound. Then the strongly rotating water column was cut off.

“oh.”

A meaningless, pure exclamation came out of Euria’s mouth. It was because I had never seen anyone come out of the water column on their own until now.

A look of interest appeared in Euria’s eyes.

Its green eyes, illuminated by the light of lightning, were looking directly at Euria.

– Percussion!

The party, who still couldn’t get out of the water column, kicked the guy’s body against the ground without even thinking about helping. The guy who reached in front of Euria in an instant raised his sword and slashed at an angle as if he wasn’t going to give her time to teleport.

– Kaang!

The blue shield that blocked the sword attack shook greatly, and at the same time, Euria’s body disappeared from the guy’s sight. The guy who lost his goal again gritted his teeth.

Euria appeared from the tree and stretched out her arms.

-Ssam!

A magical spear containing the power of water and lightning was shot towards the guy. The guy, who had already learned the consequences of hitting it, twisted his body to avoid the attack.

And the spear grazed the waist of another warrior who had just escaped from the water column and was running towards him, before sinking into the ground and disappearing.

“Kkeuch!”

The guy whose shield had not yet been rebuilt after the attack a moment ago gritted his teeth. I could vividly feel the pain of the electricity seeping through my blood vessels from the barely grazing cut.

The warrior who had rushed at Euria without even having time to look at the group rushed back towards the direction from which the magic spear had come.

The distance between Euria and him narrowed in an instant.

– Kaaaang!

The guy jumped up and swung his sword, hitting the shield again. Euria, who quickly restored it, shot lightning and water together at the guy’s ship. The attack, which was launched without any form, hit the guy’s abdomen, specifically the red shield surrounding the abdomen.

– Quang!

A loud noise loud enough to shake a huge tree erupted, and the guy who was jumping fell as if thrown to the ground. Due to the strong shock, a bloody cough came out of the guy’s mouth. I took my gaze away from him and looked in the other direction to see another warrior radiating healing red light from his entire body, rushing toward Euria.

The one who fell to the floor and vomited blood and the one who ran towards me.

Two choices in a split second.

Should I avoid it or not?

Euria made a quick decision, and a water droplet the size of a cherry was created at the tip of her finger. The sight of purple sparks clustered in the middle of transparent water droplets is very pretty.

The power of lightning was concentrated into a size the size of a fingernail and then wrapped and fixed with compressed water. Euria, who had unleashed her own magic that had never been used on a person and had not even been given a name, moved her fingers as if she were clicking them.

– Shoo!

The thing that was on the tip of my finger descended at a fast pace. Into the open mouth of the guy who was just getting up from his seat.

gulp.

Euria, who saw that he was unable to avoid the water droplets falling into his mouth and swallowed them, quickly kicked off the tree and launched himself.

– Boom!

Almost at the same time, his sword struck the tree branch where Euria was standing just moments ago. Euria had already disappeared in thin air.

And the magic that entered the body of the man lying on the floor began to take effect.

The water droplets that entered the throat lost their shape.

I released the lightning hidden within me into my body.

Even the powerful shield covering the entire body could not protect the internal organs. The electricity that clung to the delicate stomach lining traveled through the internal walls and ravaged my entire body.

– Pajijik! Squeeze! Pajik!

Euria’s lightning does not disappear.

Purple sparks continuously flowed from its mouth. No sound came out of the man’s mouth with his vocal cords burned. Sparks flowed from his eyes, which had become white due to loss of vision. I tried to resist by twisting my whole body, but the power of lightning trapped in the human body did not disappear until everything inside was burned.

How long has it been like that?

– Slurp.

The hand of the person who could no longer breathe fell to the floor. Black smoke was flowing out of its mouth.

The warrior who saw the terrible death of his comrade tightened his sword. He then rushed back at Euria, who was standing at a distance and shooting a spear of lightning at him.

no. I tried to rush in.

I tried to rush in right away and twist the neck of the wizard who said he would unconditionally kill me if I met him as an enemy.

–

But my body didn’t listen.

As if my feet were tied to the ground, as if I was being crushed by something. Or, I suddenly felt as if my weight had increased tenfold, and I couldn’t move my head or my fingertips.

This was not the method the purple-haired wizard had used until now. He performed a spell that made lightning fall from the sky and water rise from the floor. He even killed a person with a single transparent bead. However, there was no attack like this.

Even though he was good at running away like a rat and using magic, he couldn’t stop the warrior who was running at him.

‘what?’

I tried moving my fingertips with all my might, but my body did not relax. That didn’t mean my body was paralyzed. It was just heavy. So, as he turned his gaze to find out what was happening, something he had never seen before came into his eyes.

A small bright red sphere was flying from afar. Maybe it was because they knew they wouldn’t be able to avoid it, but the speed was very slow.

‘Shield!’

The guy unfolded his shield to avoid the attack of the flying sphere. His entire body was surrounded by the thick and strong shield that blocked Euria’s lightning and protected his body from the bombardment of water columns.

–

It approached at a speed as slow as someone not using a sword throwing a stone and touched the red shield. A small sound that was not at all threatening made me laugh even though I was still unable to move.

what. It was nothing.

It was just red…

–

As he thought, the sphere did not destroy the shield.

To be precise, it was not destroyed.

I just passed.

It passed right through that thick and strong shield and came inside. Only then did the sphere appear accurately in his eyes.

A small sphere the size of a human eye. There was only one person on this continent who used it, which looked like bright red lava swirling madly inside a glass bead.

‘Ah…….’

A person who can manipulate the gravitational force exerted on a person at will.

A person who works the magic of heat that makes it difficult to even estimate the temperature.

Who it is and then what is this sphere.

A belated realization came.

I felt a sphere with soft movement touch my fingertips. The warrior of the great desert felt great regret because the first thing it touched was his hand.

Why did it touch the hand and not the heart?

Why does he have healing powers?

It was such a disappointment.

It was a regret I felt because I knew that it would burn my entire body very slowly, starting from my fingertips, and then my heart at the end.

– Howling!

The silent and cruel fire of Alan Manasil consumed the warrior’s body.

* * *

The shoulder injury was not minor.

Without even needing to look, the smell of blood was different.

Calian, who was looking at Arsene’s face that had turned blue, turned his head toward the forest and opened his mouth.

“Raven.”

With a low ‘dagak’ sound of hooves, a black horse that looked as if it would not lose its elegant appearance no matter where it was placed in the world approached Kalian. After stroking Raven’s neck a few times, Calian pointed to Raven’s saddle and said to Arsene.

“Use the magic circle and go to the palace. Your brother will probably have called Hina, so you will be able to receive treatment right away.”

When Arsene heard those words, his face was full of doubt.

Since my shoulder was in enough pain, it was not out of the question that I needed treatment. I already knew that the ‘brother’ Kalian was talking about was Plantz, so there was no question about him. There was nothing particularly suspicious about the statement that Plantz had summoned Hina.

So the question that filled Arsene’s face just now arose because Calian’s words sounded as if he was telling him to take the Raven.

“Are you telling me to ride the prince’s horse?”

So Arsene asked this even though he was dizzy.

Calian, who tore the hem of Raven’s robe tied to Raven’s saddle, began to cover the wound with skillful hands and answered calmly.

“It would be dangerous if I were to be late. I don’t think I would feel anything anymore.”

Moreover, is there anyone other than Raven who can run fast without shaking too much to avoid further opening the wound, and who can deliver the item to the palace without a problem even if Arsene faints in the middle?

So Calian had made the best decision.

“I mean…!”

Arsene, who was about to ask if the problem now was that the black thing in front of him didn’t seem to have been born with the intention of carrying someone around, stopped talking and frowned. This is because Calian tightly tied the end of the robe that covered the wound.

After all, Arsene had injured his left shoulder, and Calian was giving him first aid.

Calian spoke in a quiet voice, pushing away the memory of cutting off his left shoulder, which was damaged to the point of not being able to be healed.

“Go quickly. I’m a little angry right now.”

What I was saying was to not get more angry and do as I was told. Raven, who read Calian’s thoughts well, made a ‘purring’ sound next to him. It meant that we should stop talking and go quickly.

Arsene felt like he didn’t know what to do, so he grabbed Raven’s saddle with one arm and climbed on top.

-Tap!

Raven, who stamped her foot on the floor once, showing that she really hated it but would tolerate it, left before Arsene could even say hello to Calian. There was no need to hold the reins, let alone kick the boat. I literally went on my own.

Calian turned to look at Arsene’s back. There was still work to be done.

Calian walked over and tapped the unconscious wizard. He barely opened his eyes and spoke to the wizard who was looking up at him.

“hi.”

And then he smiled really cutely.
