Reborn as the Enemy Prince

Chapter 56. Snake’s Grave (4)

Dark clouds gathered in the clear black sky.

The still black sky flashed purple.

Lightning that is too sudden and powerful to be considered a natural phenomenon. It was clearly Euria’s power.

– Hina, that child and Kirie arrived at the Marquis’ residence with a wizard named Rachel Grace. They say Crown Prince Plants stayed in the annex.

If you say one word or act wrong here, you may be branded a traitor and have to spend the rest of your life in a dungeon. Because of this, Chase was unable to convey Kirie’s explanation as is and instead shared only a few of the most important details. After that, instead of giving more details, he handed the ring that was connected to Kyrie to Calian.

“Did you think I would just suffer?”

Afterwards, Devlan’s words flowed towards Chase.

And Planz’s life.

That’s enough to realize what’s going on. Devlan was up to something snake-like again, and Plantz found out. Hina was sent to the mansion. A fight broke out in the mansion.

The fact that the wizard of Kairis, who should have had nothing to do with the affairs of this place as much as possible, acted in such a conspicuous manner means that something happened that required the use of such conspicuous force.

– Master. Please come right away. To Marquis Lin’s mansion.

– All right.

So I immediately called in Alan, who was planning to meet another 7th Circle wizard named Ruben.

“Devlan… I dare you.”

I laughed.

A place that was quiet to begin with.

Thanks to this, the eyes of those who heard the words of the 3rd Prince Kairis opened wide.

I didn’t care.

“Are you touching my people? You tied my feet here and in front of me. How dare you?”

Not Calian, a prince who is good at calculating and handling things well. Other than Swordmaster Calian, who is good at distinguishing between when to use his power and when to hold back.

Calian was furious.

– Ugh!

An aura that seemed to contain deterioration appeared on the tip of the hand that was holding nothing. A long, sharp sword burning bright red was held in his hand. Calian trots while holding it. walked forward.

“Prince Kalyan. Stop.”

Devlan’s knights moved in unison to block Calian’s path. Kalian didn’t care about them either. Then he lifted the sword in his hand and threw it away. As if it were a dagger or a memorization.

-Ssam!

The Auror’s blade, which took the shape of a long sword, flew towards Devlan without hesitation. Chase watched, the knights did nothing, and Teilan didn’t move. And Devlan was looking at Kalian.

Calian’s sword did not stop.

It flew straight towards Devlan’s heart. The sword that stretched out without hesitation as if piercing Devlan’s heart

– Kwasik!

The pillars of the main gate of the royal palace located right behind Devlan. It was deeply embedded in the middle of it.

People stopped breathing.

Devlan, looking at Calian, slowly inhaled and exhaled. I didn’t look down at my body, which seemed to have been pierced by Calian’s sword just moments ago. He still didn’t take his eyes off Calian’s red eyes.

Because he knew better than anyone else that Calian would not kill him right here and now.

Kalian’s sword pierced through Devlan’s heart but did not actually cause any damage, as it turned into an intangible energy only for a short period of time as it passed through Devlan’s body. The sword was completely embedded in the pillar of the palace, leaving only the handle, and a blazing red energy flowed out.

As if to prove that he could have been killed at any time, but was kept alive.

“Lord Castrin.”

“Your Majesty.”

“Your Majesty is currently attacking the Marquis’ residence and annex.”

Chase’s voice cut through the silence.

“As you know, in the marquis’ residence are my mother, Lady Lin, and Viscount Bern, the fiancé of Crown Prince Plants… Crown Prince Plants is alone in the annex.”

Words spoken as if to be heard.

People made gasping sounds.

Marquis Lei Jian Lin’s eyes turned to Chase.

“Go to the Marquis’ residence right now, help Lady Lin, rescue everyone, and bring them safely to the palace.”

“Yes, sir.”

Teilan, who handed the sleeping child to the person standing next to him, escaped the crowd of people. And then he got on his horse and rode towards Lei Jian’s mansion.

It was treason for Chase’s knights to help those fighting against Devlan’s knights. Now Chase had treason on his lips. But no one was shaken.

Instead, Devlan looked slightly, very slightly disheveled. They wouldn’t have thought that Plants would be alone in the annex or that Hina would be in the Reijian mansion.

– Jeopuk.

Calian took a step.

“Once a month. Sometimes once a week.”

I walked through memories.

I walked towards Devlan, recalling all the old, nauseating memories I never wanted to recall again.

“It is said that the entire noble family disappeared and burned down, and no matter how crazy the king may not even recognize his own family, he is still a human being. I wondered how a person could be so cruel. Today, after seeing what he did to my brother and my people, I understand. “I clearly see that it was all true.”

– Jump and jump.

“Kairis will never go quietly about this. And I will.”

I passed by the king’s knights, who were unable to do anything because they were weighed down by the facts I had seen and heard today, and the deep, dark life I had never experienced before, and took a step toward Devlan. I walked to where I could hear Devlan’s breathing.

Calian smiled a long, long smile at Devlan. And then he brought his head closer to Devlan’s ear. I moved my bright red lips quietly without using silence.

“I will visit you every day. Until you die.”

A flawless, beautiful voice conveyed a dreamlike whisper.

“I will make you die regretting that you ever touched my people. No matter where you are at any time, whether you are breathing or not. I will make the place you are the snake’s tomb.”

Devlan’s would-be ghost delivered a warning.

“…… I.”

Devlan clenched his fists without realizing it. He then looked at the eyes of the knights who seemed to have given up on protecting their king and the people who were still looking at him, then turned his head again.

Before we knew it, Kalian had disappeared and was nowhere to be seen.

A cool energy seemed to linger in the heart where the red aura passed.

As if I had encountered a ghost.

* * *

A round smile appeared in Adelia’s long eyes.

“Wow. Alan Manasil is here. I guess the words that surprised me for a moment were about you.”

Hina, looking at Adelia, thought that this was very similar to the appearance of children who like to play.

“Anyway, it’s strange. You’ve moved up to the 8th circle.”

Adelia, who was standing far away, smiled mischievously. As soon as he came here, didn’t he neutralize all his attacks in an instant?

Alan nodded slightly at the friendly words, and Adelia opened her mouth again.

“So you came to catch me, to brag about how much you climbed?”

“What’s the use of catching old man Sang? You messed with my kids.”

“Ah… that’s too harsh.”

A wizard who has reached the 7th circle returns to the age most suitable for realizing his or her magic. Most people regained the appearance of those in their early to mid-20s, which people called the magician’s age reversal. A wizard who goes back in age like that ages more slowly than an ordinary person. Just as Alan, who arrived in Riverne and entered the 7th Circle and reversed his age to a body of around 23, looked like he was in his mid-20s until recently.

Therefore, Adelia, who now looked like she was in her mid-30s, was much older than Alan. Nevertheless, Adelia’s words and actions were quite distant from her age. When I think about Arsene and the crazy guys from Balkan, I wonder how many wizards there are in the world who are living their lives properly, but that’s the case anyway.

“I haven’t even started saying harsh things, so don’t listen to me like that. Anyway, what did this guy who was stuck in his closet doing research come out into the world to do?”

“By Bored.”

Adelia smiled at Alan’s question and answered as if it was no big deal.

Adelia was still standing on the pillar of the marquis’s gate. Adelia seemed to feel uncomfortable having a conversation in that condition, so she lightly jumped down in front of Alan. Then, looking at Hina who was behind Allen, he smiled again and said.

“But that half-elf. To me earlier…”

– Ahh!

Adelia’s words did not continue.

Alan flicked his hand, and at the same time, the two wizards standing in the middle of the Marquis’ mansion disappeared.

Wasn’t the forest where Alan, who had used his strength to the point of taking a walk, and Calian, who had emptied all of his magical power, fought, been devastated? Adelia may not know, but Alan had no intention of getting rid of Secreta.

Those who faced this great enemy for a brief moment and quickly escaped it had complicated faces. No one left their spot easily and stood in place.

Hina quietly lowered her head.

I opened my clenched fist. Then he picked up what was inside and put it in his hand.

A rugged silver ring.

Alan handed it to me a little while ago. It was a means of communicating with Calian in place of the bracelet that Adelia had broken.

Arianne, who saw this, came over and put her hand on it.

This was because he knew that Hina was a healer and assumed that she would not be able to handle magical power.

Soon, a faint light began to glow from the ring.

– Prince Calian.

But there was no answer to the call.

I didn’t know what she was doing, but Hina didn’t call any more and waited for Kalyan. And after a while, the answer came.

– Hina.

– Are you okay?

– well. I don’t know. How about that one?

– A wizard with white hair came to visit, and the Marquis of Manasil came. Everyone is safe. Marquis Manasil disappeared along with the wizard.

– …… okay. Hina. thank god. You must have had a hard time.

Calian’s voice calmed down. In the midst of all this, I feel a deep sense of relief.

– I didn’t have any trouble. are you okay.

– okay.

– What about you, Plantz?

There was no answer for a moment, and then a slightly more subdued voice was heard.

-I fell asleep. We’re moving it inside the annex and keeping an eye on it.

– There was an anesthetic on the memorization.

– I think that’s why. And there is a wound on my right shoulder.

Hina asked back with a surprised face.

– Is the wound serious?

-……It was penetrated. It’s not a wound that can’t heal. It’s healing and the bleeding has stopped. Other places seem to be okay.

– I’ll take a look when I get back. Don’t worry too much. Marquis Manasil and the Crown Prince will be fine.

– huh.

While the conversation continued for a short time, Arianne was the first to move. They checked to see if anyone inside the mansion was injured. In the distance, Euria could also be seen on a rooftop with her eyes closed, busy watching the surroundings. Arsene, who was supposed to escort Louise, was nowhere to be seen. It was dangerous to come out, so he would continue to protect Louise inside the room.

Some time passed again like that.

The quiet night deepened, but no one could easily open their mouths.

Another person I no longer have to tolerate.

Teilan has arrived.

A long, long scream began to be heard outside the Marquis’ residence.

* * *

Deep forest.

small town.

No matter how much you destroy it, it is the safest place where no damage will occur outside the forest and the map of Secretia will not change. A place where everyone who stayed here until recently took refuge. So now no one lives here.

– Kugwagwagwang!

Brigitte Forest.

In the midst of it all, the village protected by the elves’ barrier shook. The town was literally shaken. The blades of grass growing on the small hill swayed here and there, and dust fell from the ceilings of the small houses.

After that, whirlwinds of fire as large as the spire of the Secretia Royal Palace surged up and pierced the ground. It wriggled as if it were alive and stretched out towards Alan.

Just before the fierce flames hit him, Alan, who had been watching with calm eyes, moved his hand.

The atmosphere forming the forest stopped and all the oxygen around the pillar of fire disappeared. The pillar of fire that had spread so quickly cooled down and lost its shape.

He made the 7th Circle’s Flame Storm disappear with a single wave of his hand. Alan Manasil.

“indeed.”

Adelia, who was standing far away, nodded as if she had expected it. Immediately after that, huge waves of magical power were felt from all directions around Alan.

– Hwiiing…….

– Saaaaa……!

The wind rushes in.

The vortex of wind extending from the sky and the vortex rising from the ground instantly narrowed the distance. And then he attacked Alan.

Alan disappeared. And it appeared right behind where Adelia was standing. At the same time, Adelia disappeared as if erased and popped out from where Alan was just moments ago. He switched places with Adelia.

A smile of admiration appeared on Adelia’s lips.

– Kuaaa!

The earth is shaking. It felt like the ground beneath Alan’s feet was falling apart, and the floor split apart and they moved away from each other. Above that, a tornado the size of a house that Adelia had created a little while ago passed by Adelia and extended towards Alan. At the same time, several pillars of fire rose from the ground, extending branches like tendrils and grabbing Alan’s ankles.

– Sigh!

A cheerful sound came from the tips of Alan’s fingers.

The earthquake created by the wizard’s power stopped. The land, which had been splitting apart and moving away from each other, moved again and regained its original shape. Alan, who recalled the earthquake that was forced upon him, stretched out his arms towards Adelia again.

– Kugugugoong!

– Wow!

The ground that Adelia stepped on began to shatter, raising a huge cloud of dust. And then it fell down, with no end in sight. Adelia’s body, which had no place to stand, disappeared and appeared in another place. Then this time the floor on that side collapsed.

Far beneath the ground, bubbling lava was sticking out its red maw, as if waiting for Adelia to fall. After briefly stepping on the falling rock, Adelia reappeared somewhere else. And there

– Kwaaaang! Quagwang! Quang! bang!

The stars fell from the sky.

Each piece of the star that was forcibly pulled down and fell to the ground left deep scratches on the ground. Adelia, knowing that the shield was useless, smiled slightly and warped to a distant place again. After that, he stretched out his arm towards Alan.

– Easy profit!

The wind swirls. Sharp pieces of stone, pieces of ice, and pillars of fire all mixed into it. After confirming this, Alan’s feet feel heavy. It moved the gravity around Alan and tied him up.

Using five types of magic at once.

Because it was a simple 7-circle magic, it was not possible.

I didn’t hear the truth from Hina, but I knew it. A soft smile appeared on Alan’s lips.

“It wasn’t an unnecessary hit.”

For some reason, I felt overly relaxed with the 8th circle in front of me.

Alan raised his hands. The force of gravity that had been binding his arms had been forced back a long time ago.

That’s when Alan opened his mouth to say a short spell.

– It’s noisy.

Flapping and fluttering.

A black butterfly flew quietly and landed on the tip of Alan’s finger.
