How a Genius in the Kingdom of Magic Lives

People in the conference tent came out all at once.

The soldiers who had built a tall watchtower and observed them urgently reported.

“Poisonous monsters are marching towards this place!”

“It is impossible to figure out the number! It fills the terrain and swarms endlessly!”

The large forest-type dokji was densely covered with trees and bushes, so the field of view was quite limited.

But there was something I could feel without seeing it.

The shaking of the ground, the dense life transmitted through the air, etc.

“This situation is not serious.”

Count Guillotine said with a firm expression.

Hanson asked.

“Have there been raids like this before?”

“This is my first time. A small group of monsters attacked on the way here, but it was quiet after establishing the garrison.”

“Then, it could be that we attacked at the right time to join the Empire.”

“Um… .”

Count Guillotine’s and Hanson’s expressions darkened at the same time.

Hydra and other poisonous monsters are terrifying, but they can’t do a tactic of using their brains like this.

But an attack aimed at the exact timing like this?

“Is this what the vampires did… .”

It was highly likely that the vampires were playing tricks.

It was an embarrassing situation for humans who wanted to stand still.

Leo said as if to refresh the atmosphere.

“You can take care of that later. You should start thinking about how to stop the monster right now.”

“Your words are right.”

Count Guillotine nodded and pointed to one of the soldiers.

“Bring me my staff.”

“I understand, Commander-in-Chief!”

After a while, the soldier brought a wooden cane that was close to 2 m long.

It was a staff with a crystal ball the size of a saint’s head at the end.

“Even if you can’t solve your travel poisoning, you can’t ask allies to fight as soon as they arrive. So I’m going to try a little bit.”

Earl Guilloten, holding a cane, spoke to Hanson with a confident expression.

Hanson replied casually.

“Our troops in the Kingdom of Rome are always ready, but… , Are you all right?”

“First of all, if it is for me to step forward and help after that, I will gladly accept help.”

“If so, I understand.”

Hanson backed away and looked at Leo.

It was to ask Leo’s opinion.

Naturally, Leo nodded as if agreeing.

‘Seeing the battles of 6th-class wizards in real combat is also helpful for increasing experience.’

It could have been much more helpful than killing a few dozen harpy-like monsters.

With the agreement of Hanson and Leo combined, Earl Guillotine took a few steps forward.

“Lowering. Take a good look.”

Having said a word to Leo, he grabs the staff with both hands and snaps it! and rammed it into the ground.

“—————”

A chant flowed incessantly from Count Guillotine’s mouth.

The crystal ball at the tip of the wand flickered like it was flickering.

Mana swirled around him like a typhoon.

The soldiers around them took a few steps back on their own at the unusual appearance.

Count Guilloten, who had been chanting for a while, soon opened his eyes and stretched out his staff.

[Earth Quake!]

Huge mana spread forward.

– Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!

Other knights and wizards shuddered at the feeling, and Leo, who observed the flow of mana with his own eyes, admired it.

The enormous mana that Count Guillotine had been controlling shook the air and dug into the ground.

After a while.

– Damn it.

The ground began to crack.

The crack that started in front of Count Guillotine spread in the direction of Dokji.

– Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!

The cracked ground shuddered, and one side collapsed and rose.

-Quarrr!

– Kwaaang!

The entrance to Dokji, facing the garrison, was completely destroyed.

A huge crater formed and trees poured into it.

When my vision opened, I could see beyond it, but it was a mess.

– Kyaaagh!

– aaa!

The monsters that were coming out of the dokji properly hit the aftermath of the earthquake.

As the watchtower soldiers said, the number was staggering, but even so, they were just mere creatures in the face of a natural disaster.

Almost all of them were dead or mortally wounded and unable to move properly.

Leo chuckled.

‘Human beings can cause earthquakes artificially. It’s a really crazy world.’

Earthquake.

As one of the 6th class earth attribute arcane magics, I’ve only seen it through a monitor, but this is the first time I’ve seen it like this.

I thought so at the time, but it was spectacular to experience it firsthand.

Leo involuntarily looked at Count Guillotine.

When our eyes met, he smiled.

“Hoo-wook… Whoop… . I’m tired because I’ve done my best. How have you been, low?”

“It was the greatest magic I had ever seen in my life.”

“Uh heh heh. Your Highness said so, so today is an unreasonable reward.”

Count Guillotine was delighted that Leo had been healed.

“Your servant will help me from here.”

“I would be happy to do so.”

Leo nodded.

Not only that, but the other knights and wizards were already ready to charge.

Count Guillotine gave orders to his men.

“Imperial army. From here on, follow the orders of Lord Hanson, Commander of the Allies.”

“All right!”

Hanson thanked him with his eyes.

Thanks to the unification of the command authority, things became much cleaner.

“Full Army Charge!!”

With Commander Hanson’s cry, the troops of both allies rushed in unison.

* * *

Selise was with Leo as he ran away.

The blonde-haired woman spoke in an expressionless voice.

“Lowering. Be careful.”

“I’ll tell you, Celise.”

Leo snorted at Celise’s worried words.

“I’m the one who handled the 5th rank black mage without too much difficulty. A message from monsters like this… .”

“Then, are you going to carry me on my back when you return?”

“… … .”

Leo is speechless.

Anything else I can say here is all I can say.

I decided to take my anger out on the monsters.

[Waving Ice – Ice Throne]

As Leo waved his hand, large thorns of ice rose from the quake’s ground.

– Kwajik!

Injured and staggering venom monsters died as they were pierced by thorns.

At the same time, the ice spike shattered and shot out into the surroundings.

– Pupper puck!

A blow that turns a vast space into a honeycomb!

Sellies didn’t stand still either.

– Ugh!

Blue mana rose like flames from her blade.

Now, he was perfectly adapting to the level of an expert and showing perfect sword skills.

Every time she swung her sword, monsters were slashed.

Although it did not have invincible destructive power like Geomgang, it could rip through the skin of quite a few monsters with just its sword.

-Hook!

-Chack!

Blood splattered on her armor and hair, but she moved as if she didn’t care.

The way she moved with a cold expression made even the knights stare at her in awe.

-Chik!

“… this. The venom is quite severe.”

Celise muttered with a troubled expression.

My body was fine because I took the neutralizer, but my sword wasn’t.

Their blood was poisonous, but after killing a few monsters, the blade melted and became dull.

The sword provided by the royal castle was quite a luxury item, but the original blade was easily dull.

Especially when it was the poison of the monsters in the hydra’s poison, it was only natural that it would become blunt after a while.

“Write this.”

Leo clapped his hand.

[Ice Structure – Long Sword]

At the same time, a sword made of ice was created in front of her.

“Thank you, low.”

Selize bowed her head and swung her sword again.

The two ran amok among the monsters.

– aaa!

At that moment, a troll whose feet got stuck in the ground screamed and attacked.

A nearby knight warned.

“Be careful! The Poison Troll’s venom cannot be stopped with neutralizers!”

The monsters here survived for a long time, and naturally absorbed the miasma of poison.

The neutralizer created by alchemists blocks such miasma.

However, Poison Poison Trolls produced poison inside their bodies, so it was a different kind from Poison Poison.

In other words, it cannot be prevented by a neutralizing agent.

In addition, because of the troll’s unique strong regenerative power and enormous amount of blood, it was a very tricky monster for melee knights.

[Racing Ice – Ice Restriction]

Leo lightly flicked his hand.

At the same time, a powerful cold blast emanated from the troll’s soles, tying its limbs.

– Kreuk!?

A poisonous troll struggling to escape somehow.

-Chack!

Selise approached like lightning and swung her sword and decapitated him.

At that moment, Leo’s magic froze his cut section.

No matter how good the regenerative power is, if the tissue is frozen like this, it will never be revived.

In addition, the toxic blood also froze and did not even think about leaking out.

Selise, who cleans up and treats a small amount of blood on the ice blade.

“Oh oh. This is the ice structure formula that King Karst used!”

Count Guillotine, who had said he would take a break, was approaching before he knew it.

He admired Selise’s sword.

“It is said that the king of Karst, written in the history books, wore armor and armor made of ice, and rode a horse made of ice. How amazing!”

“Thank you for a good look.”

“However, only knights are armed, so why don’t you arm yourself?”

“… … .”

It may have been a nonchalant remark, but it came very close to Leo.

‘Who wouldn’t want to do that?’

Leo also wanted to be armed with full body armor.

However, if you wear armor made with the ice structure formula, your body becomes too heavy.

And this frail body, even the slightest strain, makes your knees tingle, your back hurts, you feel out of breath, and your ankles feel like they’re going to go out.

All sorts of injuries follow.

There was a reason why Leo only wore fluttering robes.

he said in an excuse.

“… Well, you don’t have to follow the Sijo’s fighting method exactly. I have my own way.”

“Oh my. You are already carving out your own path. When I think of what I did when I was younger, I feel ashamed.”

Count Guillotine liked Leo’s excuse better.

Leaving him smiling behind him, Leo moved forward again.

Each of these monsters is experience.

All the experiences of catching new monsters and using magic will be accumulated inside.

Because of this, I had to catch at least one more before the other knights and wizards took care of it.

Leo, who had been moving for such a long time, was at the forefront before he knew it.

The only ones there were Hanson and other sword graduates and 5th-class mages.

When Leo showed an unmatched performance even among them, they admired.

“They said he was a genius wizard. You are truly amazing.”

“A 11-year-old with that skill? You are younger than my daughter at home.”

“hahahaha. you’re a mage The level I have achieved feels insignificant.”

I could see why Count Guillotine was so nice to Leo.

That was the moment.

‘The battle will end soon… Well?’

Leo was nervous without even realizing it.

His gaze turned to the depths of the dokji.

I thought the battle was almost over… .

I started to feel the weak energy of blood magic from the inside of the poison paper.
