Genius Wizard Hides His Sword Skills [EN]: Chapter 138

138. Revoluca (2)

Woooong!

Each of us deployed shields, creating a transparent windbreak above us three.

Kuaaaaa!

Over a dozen bundles of magic exploded against it.

Since they were also hastily fired spells, they weren’t powerful enough to be difficult to block.

‘Something feels off.’

It didn’t make sense that they caught up to us so quickly.

We even used a secretly prepared portal, yet they followed us as if they knew in advance.

[Let’s focus on blocking for now.]

Like Oberon said, there was no time to overthink it.

The ones who chased us were about ten or so. We had to escape quickly before more arrived.

“Let’s shake them off quickly and escape.”

Liu was also gathering a large amount of mana at once.

At that moment, Anghel’s brows narrowed.

“…It seems it won’t be easy to shake them off.”

His gaze was directed at two individuals.

“The others are fine, but Gillium and Guardo are here.”

The two people in the middle of the dozen or so magicians. Names I also knew well.

‘If it’s Gillium, wasn’t he a flagship captain?’

One was a veteran who stood shoulder to shoulder with Hustaff in the Magic Tower.

[And Guardo is…]

The other one was someone we were also acquainted with.

‘He was the only survivor.’

The one Hustaff let live during the Magic Tower escort raid. He was someone with a bad history with us.

“You goddamn bastards! I’ve finally caught up with you!”

With Guardo’s roar, a huge flame soared.

Hwaaaack!

A firestorm that instantly engulfed us.

‘This guy also became an 8-star.’

It was the 8-star fire magic, Hellfire. Guardo was using the magic that Hustaff used as his specialty.

Kuuuuung!

At that moment, a huge barrier sprang up in front of us. Anghel moved before Liu, creating a Ground Fence that surrounded the front.

Hwaaaack!

The intense firestorm covered the earth-attribute defense magic. At that moment, Anghel’s hand moved once more.

Puhwook!

A part of the Ground Fence began to transform into the shape of a spear.

Hwarrarack!

The entire body of the spear was burning intensely.

‘Anghel has improved quite a bit too.’

Anghel, who was shocked by Hustaff’s magical skill when he encountered him, had been making rapid progress ever since.

Hwaaaack!

The fiery spear flew towards Guardo.

“You! How dare you use Hustaff’s magic!”

It was natural for Guardo to focus on Anghel.

Those who were directly and indirectly influenced by Hustaff.

‘Anghel can take care of that guy for now.’

The two were glaring at each other.

And another person who caught my eye: Flagship Captain Gillium, who began to wave his hand.

“I’ll take care of that guy.”

Liu, who was starting to release the mana he had drawn up, stepped forward.

According to his publicly known skills, Liu shouldn’t be able to match Gillium.

[Liu should be able to handle it.]

But his skills that I briefly saw in Tina Zilia’s room—the way he freely wielded 8-star water attribute magic—was like watching Hustaff handling fire.

“Please take care of it. I’ll take care of the other guys.”

“Understood.”

Liu faced Gillium with a firm expression. I couldn’t keep watching their fight.

‘I need to end the fight as quickly as possible.’

No matter how strong Anghel and Liu were, the fight between the two would take quite a long time. Because it was a fight between great masters, I couldn’t just wait for them.

[It depends on how quickly you take care of the rest of the guys.]

The other magicians were only at the 6-star level, so I had to deal with them quickly and help the two.

What I chose instead of magic was a single blade.

Sreung!

The dagger made of Eternal Iron was in my hand.

[You’re going to use a sword?]

‘There’s no other way.’

It would be insufficient to deal with the remaining eight alone with magic. I couldn’t summon Pragarach here, so I took out the dagger.

Woooong!

And mana rippled throughout my entire body. When the wave of mana wrapped around my entire body and disappeared…

“It’s, it’s here!”

“One guy appeared over here!”

The 모습 [appearance] of the flustered magicians came into view. The Blink magic that I had been taught by Anghel was manifested here.

Sreung!

And a single object sparkled with it. The sharply honed blade brushed past the neck of the magician right in front of me.

“Keuh, keuheok!”

A stream of red blood followed.

In a fleeting moment, the aura that stretched beyond the length of the dagger cut off his neck.

The successive arcs of the sword.

Puhwook!

The dagger stopped only after piercing through the chest of the person right next to him.

It happened before the guys could even react. Although they were the elites of the Magic Tower, they couldn’t cope with those who had never properly fought a knight.

‘Since it’s come to this anyway……’

There was no need for me, who had even drawn a sword, to have mercy.

‘I have to kill them all.’

There was no need to leave many witnesses at close range.

“Too fast!”

“Sh, shoot a counter magic!”

“He’s using a strange energy!”

I moved quickly between the flustered guys.

Puhwook! Seogeok!

The trajectory of the sword dancing like flowing water. Before the guys could even cast their magic, two more heads flew off.

Hwarak!

Only then did the energy of the flame fly from behind me. There was no need to look back. I just had to bend my upper body to avoid it.

At the same time, my right foot stretched out backwards.

Peoeok!

With the precise sensation transmitted to the tip of my foot.

“Keuheok!”

The one who fired the fire magic’s short scream was transmitted to my ear.

[Tsk! Who told you to be sneaky and attack from behind.]

The guy whose kick filled with aura hit his chest head-on would be crippled at the very least.

‘Is it just three left now?’

The remaining guys were just flustered with their hands frozen. They didn’t know how to react to the scene they were seeing for the first time, and they were all frozen in a row.

Woong!

A group of mana wrapped around my body in an instant. When that mana disappeared, my body was located behind the guys.

Seogeok!

With a single sword strike.

Tudook! Tuk!

The heads of the three people rolled to the ground. It was an aura that had already increased to the length of a longsword.

[Wonderful.]

‘Now I need to help Anghel and Liu quickly……!’

That was when I was about to move my steps again.

Wooooooooong!

A low vibration sound that I heard in an instant.

‘……This can’t be good!’

The Flare Beam was being aimed from somewhere.

[It’s over there!]

The space on the right that Oberon pointed to.

‘Already so soon!’

About 20 flagship crew members who had already approached us.

Kuaaaaaaaa!

Were firing the Flare Beam.

The formidable wave of energy was flying straight towards me.

* * *

“Ian!”

The name I called out in a hurry. Liu couldn’t help but be so anxious.

The Flare Beam was aiming at Ian and flying straight at him.

‘This is bad……!’

I tried to move my hand in a hurry.

“You, Liu! Where are you looking!”

The thunderstorm that Gillium fired was heading towards him.

Paah!

Gillium’s thunderstorm and his own waterspout collided in mid-air. The resulting steam blurred his vision.

Kwaaaaa!

Through the gaps in the steam, he could only see the light of the Flare Beam engulfing Ian.

‘……!’

A scene that made him want to close his eyes tightly. But he couldn’t actually close them.

‘Ian!’

Ian, who was caught up in this because of him in a way. He seemed to have a few things he was hiding as well, but either way, he was responsible.

That was when he was about to be swept away in despair with his eyes wide open.

Kuuuuung!

Something that was reflected through the gaps in the steam at that moment. A huge ice barrier was in front of Ian.

Kwaaaaa!

The energy of the Flare Beam exploded against it. But how strong was the ice that appeared out of nowhere.

Jjeojeok!

It only cracked a little and stood firm.

– Commander. I’m a little late.

And the message that was heard.

He could finally breathe a sigh of relief at that voice.

A high-ranking official of the Magic Tower and the second-in-command of Revoluca [a secret organization].

– Stenos. You’ve come.

It was him who had taken action.

– Yes. I heard from Graham and came straight away, but it was a close call.

– It’s okay. But now, Stenos, your identity will be revealed.

The repercussions that would have on the Magic Tower if his identity were revealed would be enormous. He had been an executive of the Magic Tower for many years, so it was incomparable to him.

– Actually, my identity has already been revealed.

– Yes? What do you mean?

Stenos hesitated for a moment. His next words made Liu frown.

– ……Gillak, that child seems to have turned traitor. He cast a tracking spell on the Commander’s clothes and continued to report to the Magic Tower.

Only then did he understand. The reason why the Magic Tower’s flagship crew came all the way here. And the reason why they were able to track his location so quickly.

– Haa. I see. Did that child also tell them about Stenos’s identity?

– Yes. Not only me, but Alloy was also subject to investigation, so I just escaped and came here.

– You must have had a hard time, Stenos.

– Not at all. It’s just proof that our power has grown. We couldn’t take care of every single member.

As he said. Revoluca, which had never been discovered by the Magic Tower until now, compared to the size of the force that had grown so far. Now, it was just that it had reached a point where it was difficult to hide the internal noise.

– It’ll be okay since we were about to start activities soon anyway.

That was the moment he nodded.

– Then I’ll start helping out in earnest.

With Stenos’s voice, the sky was filled with dark clouds.

Kureureureung!

Dozens of ice shards began to pour out through the gaps.

Stenos’s Blizzard was being fired at the Magic Tower’s flagship crew.

“You, Stenos! How dare you betray the Magic Tower!”

Gillium’s roar at the sight.

“Hey. You won’t have time to look away, will you?”

He paid him back in the same way.

Chwaaaaa!

He was just summoning Aqua Bombs.

“You!”

In the end, Gillium turned his head to him instead of Stenos. The lightning to block the Aqua Bomb was rippling.

“Uncle!”

And Ian, who had already come to his side, was looking at the Blizzard that covered the sky.

“What’s going on…….”

“I told you.”

Only then did he regain his composure. Liu winked at Ian.

“My uncle’s power is not to be underestimated.”

“…Stenos was also Revoluca.”

“Yeah. I’m relieved now.”

It was still a little short of enough power to subdue all of the Magic Tower’s flagship crew.

‘But it’ll be enough to run away.’

A few of Stenos’s and his own wide-area magic spells would be enough to create a gap to escape.

‘Where should I go……’

However, there was no suitable place to hide.

Since there was a traitor in Revoluca. It wasn’t a situation where he could trust that it was Revoluca’s hideout.

“Uncle.”

At that moment, Ian looked at him.

As if he had noticed his worries, he was the guy who suggested an alternative.

“Let’s go to Egor.”
