Chapter 70

I ran and caught up to Ebelheid, who was walking fast .

I was a bit out of breath, probably from walking around a lot and using up all my magic .

I reached to my pocket, thinking it was time to drink the Abel Potion .

. . Oh, was that already out?

I tried to give it to Abelheid then he pointed out that it was illegal and then the hobgoblins attacked us and that was havent been returned yet?

I wonder if I left it behind .

That seemed to be the last of the ones I was carrying around .

Im sure the carriage was still loaded with them . but I cant go back to get them now .

Um, Ebelheid-san I dont think Im right about this, but you knew whats the behind the ruins, right

As I thought youre instincts are sharp

As I thought, he knew .

If so, why did he pretend not to know?

From what Ive seen so far, they should have let the lord invest in it without telling him .

Beyond this door, there are ten golems lined up on each side . Its the culmination of the technology of the Land of the Sky, Alfheim . Dont worry, theyre not protecting the ruins . Its just an unused weapon .

youre thinking its okay to tell it to me?

Then whats there further down the line?

Right . Ill tell you an old story that has come been pa.s.sed down to us Zeshum .

Then Ebelheid begins to speak .

Looking forward, walking forward .

We, the elves of Zeshum, defeated in the religious war, have been driven to earth . For us Elves, it is the greatest humiliation . The peaceful, yet certain, decline of our species . In some ways, it is worse than the death penalty . For we can only mourn and envy the heavens for generations to come until our blood is destroyed .

As I listened to Ebelheid, I crossed the second door .

The pa.s.sage was different from the previous ones in that it was fancy painted .

The walls were recessed into a semi-elliptical shape, and in the recess sat a pure white earthen figure that must have been three meters long!

The Golem of Zeshum .

As Ebelheid said, there are ten of them on each side .

Right behind me, the investigators and Wegener shout in admiration .

Even I would jump on the golems if it werent for the current situation .

But my ancestors did not give up . They overran and plundered the Norcs on the ground and built up a strong fortress . And for what purpose? All in order to drop the heavens and allow us Zeshum to take the throne again .

What is now being said by the world is that the elves were persecuted by the Norcs and built as a countermeasure to the persecution of the elves . The ruins of Zeshum .

But this is like the opposite .

I didnt know it was the elves who attacked first .

Before long, the elves of Zeshum were shunned even on earth, and the king of Zeshum fell in love with Norcs . The king of Zeshum fell in love with Nox . The king ordered his own entourage to seal the fortress of Zeshum by laying down strong wards .

He thought that if he completely destroyed it, the elves of Zeshum would suffer persecution . By sealing Zeshums fortress as a reconciliation plan, he simultaneously hurled a threat at Norcs . Though . . in the end, the king was killed by another elf .

Ebelheid told the history of Zeshum, which was not spelled out on the surface .

Mea tightly squeezed my hand, as if Ebelheids story was shocking .

I looked at Mea and she was looking at me uneasily .

Then, the Arrow of G.o.d

I turn my gaze back to Ebelheid and ask .

Naturally, its a weapon to shoot the land of the sky, Alfheim . With that, you can have everything in this world, even a country . Its the most valuable treasure in the world . What a foolish king to choose the woman of Norcs in the balance .

When they reached the middle of the aisle lined with golems, Ebelheid stopped and turned himself around .

Now then, Ive no more use for you guys .

Ebelheid said and swung his arm down .

His sights were on Wegener, who was flailing at the golem and waving his valence at the surveyors .

Oh Flame, Form, Sphere

I didnt think it was possible, but I was wary .

I waved my wand to the side .

A line entered the magic circle floated by Ebelheid .

Ebelheids hand exploded and smoke spread out .

Guh!

Scratching out a magic circle .

It is an advanced technique, but the book said it is not practical .

This is because if two sorcerers face each other, and if the magic can be scratched out, its faster to shoot another magic .

Besides, if the opponents chanting was fast, there would be a lot of mistakes .

In order to seal off the scratching out, the core of the magic circle may be encrypted and made difficult to understand .

The same was the case with Ebelheids magic circle .

Since I couldnt grasp the core at all, I had to put up a mountain and draw a line .

As a result, it couldnt be completely erased, and it exploded out of control .

When I confronted Noswell before, Id redrawn the magic circle and reversed the direction of the magic, but thats the exception to the rule .

Ordinary sorcerers chant from the transcription of a magic circle in a matter of seconds .

If theyve even set up the encryption, theres no time to a.n.a.lyze it and then redraw it .

Hii, hiiiii! Hey, just now, you pointed at me a magic circle Eh, Ebelheid-dono, what do you think youre doing! Depending on your answer, I wont let you get away with it!

Wegener turned over on the spot, pointing his fingertips to Ebelheid, who would be on the other side of the smoke .

When the smoke had faded, Ebelheid had moved farther away .

You are brilliant as I thought, Abel . There are only a handful of things even a high elf could do to stop this technique of mine . You could be proud of yourself .

Ebelheid claps with a smile in his mouth .

. what do you think youre doing?

I said, keeping my wand pointed at Ebelheid .

The Arrows of G.o.ds, are beyond the reach of a norcs man . They are mine, the descendant of Zeshum . I have no more use for the lords men .

Do-, dont be silly! You! You say you conspired against this Wegener!

From way behind, I could hear Wegeners voice .

Ebelheid didnt seem to be interested in Wegener and didnt even look at him .

In order to release the Arrow of G.o.d, we need a reasonable amount of magic stone . Even with the rest of the wards and what I have in my possession, I cant fire more than three shots . Ill conquer the earth and collect more magical stones, and eventually, Ill take possession of the Land of the Sky, Alfheim . Heaven and earth, literally everything in this world will be in my possession .

Conquer you say, no way .

He calls it to conquer, but in essence, its looting with weapons .

To show off their power, they will actually use the Arrow of G.o.ds as well .

I dont know how powerful it is, but if he does that, Its clear that many people will die .

Ebelheids hand is extended to me .

I brace myself, thinking its a pre-magic action .

Abel, be my right hand and I will give you half the world .

Ebelheid turned his left palm and declared that .

Maizen, who was attached to my side, stepped forward and drew his sword .

You madman! Abel, can you deal with that elf?

Wait, wait a minute, Maizen!

Dont tell me youre gonna follow

E-, Ebelheid-san . Ill pretend I didnt hear what you just said just now . So . .

Ebelheid heard my words and snickered .

Hmm, its true that your magic is top-notch but after all, youre only a child . But its going to be a pain in the a.s.s to go head to head with you .

Ebelheid held one of the magic stones in his hand and raised his arm straight up .

A large magic circle emerged to surround Ebelheid .

Oh Miasma of the Forest of Sleep

Is it the secret art of the elves, its a line of chanting and structure of a magic circle Ive never heard of at all .

Perhaps its because of being warned, the time from chanting to activation is faster than before .

Besides, the distance is too open . Its impossible to interfere with the magic circle from now .

In the blink of an eye, the magic circle emitted a black light and fired off a thick black smoke .

The smoke quickly spread and came towards us .

The scale is huge .

The black smoke completely covers the pa.s.sage .

It seems that the magic power of the magic stone was used to increase the size of the place .

Ugh . . Carry it!

As I chant, an Ortem carved from the World Tree appears in front of me .

Its the magic of teleportation .

I hold it in my arms as it floats in the air .

Oh, puppet, suck it up!

A magic circle floats around the Ortem and emits light .

Black smoke is sucked into Ortems mouth .

I hooked Maizens feet as he tried to escape and rolled him to the spot .

Ouch! A, Abel, what are you .

The safest place is to be near the Ortem! Mea too!

As the black smoke came up to us, it was sucked into the Ortem .

But what it failed to suck in pa.s.sed behind us and swallowed the investigators and Wegener in a matter of seconds .

When the black smoke subsided, it was just me, Mea, Maizen, and Ebelheid standing there . .

Wegener and the others have fallen, but they are not dead I think .

From the feeling of the magic power, it is not the kind of thing that takes away lives . Its probably a spell to put them to sleep and quickly neutralize them .
