Chapter 123: It's not stiff, it's upright
Munch.
Perhaps because she was nervous.
She was still hungry.
Senior mage of spirit school, Peiyan Lot.
She looked back at her memories beneath her robe.
She remembered the words of Klee, a skilled mage who was her senior when it came to the towers exit.
More than anything, the pouring gaze will sting a lot!
Indeed, that sunbae was right.
The eyes pouring from the entrance of the rupture were no joke.
It was understandable considering the influence of the Mage Tower.
How did things get so big?
Peiyan was restless.
She was just happy when her application for the towers exit was accepted.
I didnt expect him to say that.
He wouldnt put a limit on the towers exit!
She never imagined this development.
Was it because Chief Lee Hoyeol took her purpose of the towers exit seriously?
Skilled mages, even apprentice mages.
Suddenly, the spirit school started to explore the rupture as a group.
Maybe its because Im nervous, Im getting hungrier.
Munch crunch.
The burden weighing on her shoulders was never light.
Wasnt she a senior among mages who were like newborn chicks and sniveling dogs?
If this was the Arcana continent.
She would have been able to show her dignity as a senior
Im shaking because its unfamiliar to me. Damn it.
But this was the world of adventurers.
Peiyan busily assured herself.
Of course, regardless of whether they knew her feelings or not.
Wow, this is a rupture.
Its unfamiliar~ Its weird~
But why do peoples clothes look familiar?
You idiot. Its because they are adventurers.
The young chicks seemed really excited.
In that sense, Peiyan had no choice but to look up to Hoyeol.
She recalled Klees advice.
But you dont have to worry too much. Even though the stares might sting. No one will come close to you. As long as Chief Lee Hoyeol is by your side!
When she first heard that.
What are you talking about?
She couldnt understand immediately.
But it was better to see it once than to hear it a hundred times.
The moment they entered the rupture.
Peiyan could understand Klees words.
Those guys are really just watching from afar, arent they?
Peiyan looked at them cooly.
Even from a third partys perspective, this kind of spectacle would be rare.
Even though they wore robes, they couldnt hide the spirit they summoned.
Not only the mages of the Mage Tower appeared in a group.
They even summoned the spirits as a group.
Its an incident that could cause an uproar even on the Arcana continent.
To her surprise.
Theyre at a distance where they cant even hear my voice properly.
The adventurers in the rupture maintained a certain distance from them.
It doesnt seem to be because theyre afraid of Fire Drake?
It was hard to mistake that
Because those eyes were clearly directed at Hoyeol.
Does it mean that many adventurers are watching the Chief?
Gulp
Peiyan swallowed her dry saliva.
Sneak, she glanced at Hoyeol.
Are you really a great aristocrat in this world?
As rumored among the young chicks.
He was the heir to a really great family?
But Peiyans misconceptions didnt last long.
W-Wait. What did you say?
High-ranking spirit, Fire Drake.
It was because of news from the Arcana continent that came from him.
In fact, Peiyan had also guessed to some extent.
Entering the Demon Kings Castle rupture.
She had contributed to the assassination of the Demon King.
No way!
But this was a wave that far exceeded her prediction.
The news from other spirits was not much different.
News of victory was heard from all over the Arcana continent.
Fire Drake spoke in a heated voice.
Its probably because the newly born World Tree is having a positive impact on all living things.
!
Buzz
World Tree?
Young chicks reacted if they were surprised by that alone.
But Peiyan was surprised at something else.
Peiyan knew the person who had sprouted the World Tree.
Chief Lee Hoyeol!
In an instant.
Her head spun.
If so, the current transformation of the Arcana continent.
Are you saying it all came from Chief Lee Hoyeols hand?
Well, even the World Tree sprouting.
Also oppressing the demon kings.
It was all carried out under Hoyeols plans and procedures.
Glance
Peiyan looked at Hoyeols expression.
He did a great job and didnt show off once.
In fact, there was no change in the expression of Hoyeol, the person involved.
Why did her heart flutter for no reason?
Rumble
Thanks to this, her body, which had poor fuel efficiency, was trembling.
Rummage.
The moment Peiyan, who was searching through her robe, shoved something into her mouth.
She heard a bewildered voice.
Qirnberg Machine Tower? Its starting to move?
It didnt just move. Its clearly hunting the demons.
H-Hunting the demons? That machine tower?
Cough.
Are you all right, Senior Peiyan?
Y-Yes. Im fine.
Cough.
She almost choked up.
By the way, what? The Qirnberg Machine Tower is moving?
Peiyan also knew at a common sense level.
The machine tower was built by the dwarves.
But, not only it was moving, it was also hunting demons.
Patter
Peiyan thought as she wiped the bread crumbs off her lips.
Yes, no matter how great Chief Lee Hoyeol is.
It would be impossible to actively shake up the situation on the Arcana Continent by himself. Most of all, wasnt this world disconnected from the Arcana continent?
Even though I dont know who operated it and for what purpose.
The advance of the Qirnberg Machine Tower.
It was clear that it had a significant impact on the upcoming victory report.
Thats right, Chief Lee Hoyeol is also a human being.
Yes, that was Peiyans common sense.
No matter how exceptional his ability was, an individual was still an individual.
There was bound to be a limit to his influence.
Of course, that common sense collapsed straight away.
Haiel.
The moment Hoyeol called that name.
A spirit appeared in the air.
!!!
Including Peiyan, all of them were mages of the spirit school.
Thats why they were able to recognize it.
Senior Peiyan, that spirit is?
A small body.
However, the energy she radiated was by no means small.
Indeed.
It was a {unique spirit} that transcended class.
Peiyan nodded to the questions of skilled mages.
Thats right. Its a unique spirit.
A unique spirit!
Chief Lee Hoyeol was a contractor of a unique spirit?
In surprise.
The newborn chicks didnt stop chirping.
Just looking at it, they were surprised to this extent.
How shocked would they be if they found out the truth that Haiel sprouted the World Tree and was reborn as a {unique spirit}? However, Peiyan had no intention of telling them Hoyeols achievement.
Shrug
They will get hurt if they know.
Actually, she was doing this because she was afraid the chief would criticize her.
Of course, Peiyans conceited act didnt last long.
Because Haiel soon delivered the message.
Leader of the dwarves, Chainwalker Hardrock. I conveyed Hoyeol-nims wishes to him. Also, there is a message from Chainwalker Hardrock that he delivered to Hoyeol-nim.
Although Haiel didnt actually say a word about the message.
Peiyan got goosebumps.
Wait, the leader of the dwarves?
Why is Haiel with the dwarves?
Dwarves.
The Qirnberg Machine Tower.
Haiel.
Chief Lee Hoyeol.
At this moment.
Words intermingled around in her head.
At the same time, an exclamation mark came to Peiyans face.
Dont tell me?!
Soon, Haiels unexpected words continued.
First, Chainwalker expressed his gratitude for activating the Qirnberg Machine Tower and not forgetting the oath. Second, for taking direct action for those who encountered the demons
W-Wait a minute.
What was she hearing now?
Beyond the exclamation mark, a look of astonishment appeared on Peiyans face.
She couldnt help it.
This meant that all of this.
It started from the hands of one person, Hoyeol!
*
It was spectacular.
When oppressing the demon kings, she had entered a different Demon Kings Castle rupture.
It was my first time seeing Peiyans Fire Drake with my own two eyes.
By the way, it wasnt called a high-ranking fire spirit for nothing.
Crackle
A body as big as a cargo truck.
If he had wings, he could be mistaken for a hatchling dragon.
Most of all, every time he exhaled, flames flickered.
I felt hot just by looking at it.
Starting with Fire Drake.
About twenty or so spirits were summoned.
Because each spirit had different attributes.
The surroundings became hot, then cold, then dazzling
Anyway.
In order not to be caught up in that noisy influence. Peiyan and the other mages were all one step away from the group of spirits.
Indeed.
Living so tiringly. Me too, really.
Live for style and die with style.
There was no way our Grandfel would back down in front of the wonderful backdrop of the spirit army. I was really glad.
I was glad I brought some [warmth] buff, seriously.
Thank you again, [Jewelry Box Filled with Warmth].
[Warmth keeps the body in optimal condition.]
Siberian high pressure.
[Warmth] buff that protected against Frosts strong cold.
Fire attribute affinity effect on the handkerchief.
Thanks to these things, I could stand upright even among spirits.
Anyway, it was worth it.
Indeed, the more the merrier.
I did my best to find a rupture with this number of people.
They had quite a bit of news about the new Arcana Continent.
Of course.
All the things that could be called big events were the stories I had heard through Haiel.
Theres no surprising news.
Now, it was Haiels turn.
I summoned Haiel.
My mana escaped.
Still, it wasnt to the point that I had to whine about it.
It was probably because my [mana] stat was close to 400.
Soon, Haiel appeared among the spirits.
Yeah, I didnt know about anything else, but her appearance stood out.
Too much, at that.
Wasnt this too flashy for someone who had just been reborn as a {unique spirit}? Even so, I gave up thinking. I wasnt going to be a pot calling kettle black
In the end, that would just be a spit in my face.
By the way.
Leader, Chainwalker Hardrock.
The dwarves, including him, were fighting the demons in their own way.
According to Haiel.
It seemed the number of demons they had driven out was quite large.
Haiels serious eyes met mine.
Thats right. Everything was going as you anticipated.
No. Well, I anticipated it, but.
I didnt anticipate everything in that much detail, did I?
What kind of telepathy did you get, Haiel.
Of course, I didnt deny it.
Cough.
Peiyan was surprised by Haiels words and tapped her chest.
Whats more.
Y-You anticipated it? All of it?!
Hey, be quiet.
Ssh!
The skilled mages and apprentice mages looked even more surprised than she was.
Really, because of this damn tiring personality
I couldnt deny this burdensome overestimation.
Indeed.
I answered calmly.
It was the peak of shamelessness.
In the meantime, a feeling of anxiety suddenly rushed in.
Haiel, you, dont tell me.
Did she tell the dwarves the same thing?
I looked at Heiel.
As if she didnt bend to anyone.
An upright neck and back.
Noble, shining eyes.
She didnt shrink even in front of Fire Drake.
What on earth was that appearance that made me feel like looking at the mirror?
No, it was already done.
Nothing would change now.
It didnt matter what fantasy Haiel had planted in the dwarves.
Beyond feeling exhausted.
Even if it meant turning into powder.
For me, for Grandfel.
That overflowing overestimation would come true.
In that case
[Thefern Fence]
[Recommended level: Lv.450]
[Collapse rate: 3.8%]
It would be a shame to just pass by this rupture.
I looked at Peiyan and the mages of spirit school.
It probably had been a long time since they reunited with their contract spirit.
You had a hard time alone, Nyx.
Gnome, why does it seem like youve gotten bigger? You must have been comfortable without me? Theres no one to pamper you, right? Tell me the truth!
Sylphide. No matter how happy you are, will you please stop blowing my hair around?
Looking at that scene.
Suddenly, a passage from the spritiology book came to mind.
The most important quality for a spirit mage is the ability to communicate with spirits. Spirit magic is different in nature from other magic. Because spirit magic doesnt start with mana, it starts with recognizing the existence of spirits
The purpose of the towers exit had been achieved.
Due to Granfels nature of being faithful to procedures.
It wouldnt be strange if I ordered to return to the Mage Tower immediately.
But.
I looked at the quest window.
Chiefs weight (Repeat)
Allowing them to maintain their essence as spirit mages.
That would also be the goal of a successful towers exit and the weight of being the chief.
I spoke to Peiyan.
The goal has been achieved, but lets postpone the return for a while.
Yes? Yes, lets do that!
Peiyan didnt know the situation, but she seemed happy to hear it.
Even if it wasnt her first time summoning Fire Drake.
This was the first time they had the opportunity to communicate properly.
Communication.
I looked at Heiel.
As I said.
I felt like I was looking in the mirror now!
I didnt think we needed a deeper connection between us.
I spoke to Heiel.
Haiel.
Ill follow your will.
We had a mountain of things to do other than communion.
Utilizing Hiels {nature} abilities.
Starting with exploring the possibilities of a new [{oddity}]].
To understanding the power even when [Natural Enemy Relationship] was not activated.
It is time to check the results of diligently digging the well.
The opponent was the monster that appeared in [Thefern Fence].
[Thefern Scarecrow], there was probably no opponent more suitable than that.
Then lets get started right away.
Clang
I immediately raised my sword.
.
.
.
Clang
Peiyan wondered if she had seen it wrong.
What?
Chief Lee Hoyeol pulled out a sword?
A mage with a sword?
At first, she thought it was just a magic tool in the shape of a sword.
But it wasnt.
What on earth were those agile movements?
He always had an upright spine.
Was she mistaken in thinking that he would be stiff?
Slide
Flexible movements like flowing water.
Swoosh
The sword blade cut through the air quickly and decisively.
Plop
At the same time, the Thefern Scarecrow fell.
Huuhh?
A single syllable came out of Feiyans lips.
Eck?!
