Fenrir who heard all of Silya's words could only shake his head. How could a slave like him have a great mage mother and have such special powers. Fenrir still hadn't accepted this fact. And actually from earlier there were things that haunted Fenrir's mind more so that Silya's words were not really heeded. Fenrir had been wondering where Mrs. Freya was.
"Didn't you go somewhere around here when you disappeared? Did you hear any news about Mrs. Freya?"Fenrir tried to change the subject and tried to find out Mrs. Freya's news. Silya who heard Fenrir's question only smiled sarcastically at Fenrir, because Silya expected Fenrir to be more enthusiastic to hear all of her explanations about magic but it turned out that there was only Mrs. Freya in Fenrir's head."I went to a safe place to read this book, I didn't look for any info about Mrs. Freya. "Fenrir who heard that was just downcast, he felt worried about Mrs. Freya's safety. but he also didn't know where to look at night like this. Because Fenrir had gone alone to Mrs. Freya's cottage this evening, but the cottage was still dark and there was no one there."I'll sleep early tonight so that tomorrow morning I can ask the other Clark family servants, in case Mrs. Freya is in the main residence. "Fenrir expressed his heart as if he was talking to himself. Silya who heard Fenrir's decision lost the spirit to continue her story.Fenrir then sat cross-legged on the bed and then spoke a few lines."Hey, aren't those paralyzing spells and body strengthening spells? What are you going to do with them? You want to put me to sleep?"Silya who heard Fenrir's words realized that it was an unusual spell."A spell? It's a bedtime prayer. My mother always said to pray before bed so that our loved ones would always be protected."Silya who heard Fenrir's words could not understand what she had just heard. Silya wondered what exactly Leona had taught her child."Fenrir, do you know what your mother taught you? It's a protective spell, it consists of 3 main spells, namely the paralyzing spell: the song of the night goddess to put others to sleep, the body strengthening spell and the protective wall spell. It was a spell that witches used to use during breaks in the battlefield. "Silya tried to sit behind Fenrir, Silya tried to flow her magic into Fenrir to confirm something."This sitting position of yours is one of the witch's methods to control her magic, we usually call it Force Control, a method to flow magic throughout the body to create an aura, so that the body is covered with invisible armor on the outside and the flow of magic flows inside the body like circulating blood. It is also one of the ways witches cultivate and enhance their magic. How long have you been doing this?" Silya looked at Fenrir curiously.Fenrir was silent for a moment, then he said, "As I recall, I did it from the time I could sit and walk, and did it properly when I was 1.5 years old. I remember it because mother always flattered me when I prayed correctly. ""You really are a genius little guy, the geniuses of our generation could only do it at the age of 5, perhaps that is one of the reasons you are so favored by magic itself."Fenrir continued his prayer, and Silya continued the process of detecting Fenrir's body."20 chapters of your mother's book is a magic restraint spell, at first it confused me, why a witch has to hide her magic, and now I understand why Leona did that, it seems she wants to protect you from people who want to use you, your magic power will only be detected by a great mage like me or a witch stronger than me. Even mages of the noble mage level won't be able to detect it."Silya tried to break the multiple layers of seals on Fenrir's body so that Fenrir could better use his magic. Silya frowned and closed her eyes to focus better. This was not a difficult thing for Silya because she had understood the essence of this spell. but it was also not an easy thing because this seal had been strengthened through the spell from the book that Fenrir read, because Fenrir always read the book once a year so that the seal was always updated every year and became several layers of seals.Silya managed to open several layers of Fenrir's seal. Silya did not open all of Fenrir's seals because she felt that it was not yet time for Fenrir to use all of his magic power, and Silya felt that she wanted to follow what Leona had told Fenrir. This was all also for Fenrir's own safety."Fenrir, try to follow my words and we'll see what happens."Fenrir just nodded, even though he actually felt a little displeased. Silya then recited an incantation and Fenrir followed suit."Now position your hands as if you were about to receive a gift and close your eyes. Feel the magic flowing through your body. Concentrate all the magic into the palm of your hand and imagine the shape you want."Fenrir, with some confusion, followed Silya's instructions. Fenrir felt the magic flowing from his body and he tried to center it on his hands. Something magical happened. A flame began to form over Fenrir's hand. The fire slowly formed a ball that gradually began to grow larger. Silya noticed the change in the shape of the color of the fire that Fenrir created and began to analyze it."Enough, Fenrir."Silya told Fenrir to stop his magic activities because his magic continued to grow and there was no sign of stopping. Silya was afraid that Fenrir's cottage would catch fire.Fenrir who had closed her eyes began to open her eyes. Fenrir still felt the warm sensation of the magic flowing in his body."Fenrir why did you shape your magic into a magic ball?" asked Silya after they finished."Because that shape is all I have in my head, I can't imagine anything too complicated. Is there something wrong with that?"Fenrir's innocent words had answered Silya's curiosity and made Silya shake her head, not knowing what the shake of Silya's head meant."Usually beginner wizards will form their base magic when casting this spell and the average base magic is in the form of a main element whether it's fire, wind, water or something else. And what you formed was a blue ball of magic fire. That's the equivalent of an expert-level wizard protecting low-level nobles.""Fenrir, I have an offer for you, how about you become my apprentice? I will make you the greatest wizard in the Balmuth Empire." Silya's eyes lit up at the thought of having a student with Fenrir's potential."I'll brag to Fry that I can be a great teacher too, hahaha," Silya said to herself with pride and arrogance welling up in her chest."I don't want to, I don't want to be a witch, that sounds troublesome." Fenrir said as he lay down preparing to sleep. Fenrir's answer shattered Silya's fantasy and now there was only the image of Fry the Frost wizard laughing at Silya in her imagination."How about this? If you want to be my apprentice, I'll find information about Mrs. Freya for you."Fenrir, who had closed his eyes earlier, immediately opened them and sat up to face Silya."Is what you're saying true? Were you able to find Mrs. Freya?""Oh of course, who do you think I am? I am Silya the great mage, the forest wizard, what can't I do?""Well, I'd like to be your apprentice."Silya pulled the corners of her lips up. "Then call me Miss master Silya.""Yes, Miss Master Silya. ""Hahaha smart boy." Silya laughed contentedly with her head up exposing her enlarged nose.While Fenrir felt a little regret seeing Silya's behavior and questioned the decision he had made, but in order to find Mrs. Freya he had determined to do anything even though he felt that this would be a troublesome thing in the future."Alright, now we go out and start training tonight as well."Silya immediately pulled Fenrir's hand towards the cottage courtyard. Fenrir could only surrender to Silya's wishes."It's all for Mrs. Freya, it's all for Mrs. Freya." Fenrir said silently.Mages in the Balmuth Empire have several levels starting from beginner, senior, advanced, expert, master, grand master, sorcerer, sage, great mage, archmage, and the highest is ancient mage. All of that depends on the amount of magic power, force control and the number of spells that can be used and many more things that can also affect such as the number of spells that can be used in one use of magic, how rare the form of magic used, how efficient the way to use magic, and many others.But there are some things that are usually used as a reference by ordinary people in the Balmuth Empire to determine the strength of a wizard, namely the level of a wizard is usually directly proportional to the wizard's work and to whom he works, such as the average senior and advance wizards they will become adventurers or join guilds to hunt in dungeons or do a quest to get money and rare items they want.Meanwhile, at the expert, master and grandmaster levels, on average, they will become a protect
Fenrir's anger really overflowed. Fenrir clenched his fists and prepared to chase Zeldris. when Fenrir had run towards Zeldris, suddenly a hand pulled Fenrir's body.Zeldris who had felt something approaching looked back, but found nothing, Zeldris passed with his friends out of the park. "What do you want to do? You want to die, huh?"Silya scolded Fenrir for what Fenrir was just about to do. Silya felt the killing air that Fenrir emitted when he wanted to hit Zeldris. Silya who had been watching the conversation between Zeldris and Fenrir from a distance also understood what Fenrir was currently feeling. But Silya could not turn a blind eye to the consequences that Fenrir would have to accept if he killed Zeldris. Fenrir tried to release Silya's hand and tried to go back after Zeldris. But Silya pulled Fenrir's body back and slapped Fenrir's face. "Wake up, Fenrir, what you're about to do could endanger your own life. Do you know who Zeldris' father is? He is one of the heroes of
This morning Zeldris planned to practice swordplay with his father, Zeldris had the opportunity to learn the sword techniques of the clark noble family directly from his father. Zeldris felt happy because finally the thing she had been waiting for had arrived.The Clark noble family sword technique is one of the best sword techniques in the Balmuth Empire. There are many people who want to learn this sword technique, because in the long history of the Empire, many of the owners of this technique have become big names, one of which is the current family leader, Gildart Clark, who has become a hero of the Empire and Zeldris' brother who has become a hero protector of the Empire.This made Zeldris even more excited that she would be one of the successors of this sword technique. Zeldris knocked on the door of his father's room, and someone from inside invited his to enter. The guard at the door opened the door for Zeldris and found a soldier inside who was reporting to his father. "Sit
Fenrir who was in the garden saw several people running towards the city center. Fenrir who saw his only turned his head and returned to his work, occasionally wiping the sweat that began to fall because of the hot sun this afternoon. "Did you hear? There was an announcement at the town hall, there will be someone who will be executed today.""Who will be executed? Is there anyone who dares to defy the family head lord's wishes anymore? Last time Lord Gildart executed his own younger brother for defying his decree.""I don't know, it's better to see it in person so we know what's going on. ""Come on, I wonder what that person did wrong that she was sentenced to death."There were the voices of two people who were talking and passed by Fenrir towards the town hall. Fenrir who heard that seemed uninterested at first, but he felt a bad feeling about this. Silya changed from her blue sparrow form back to human form. This was one of Silya's magical abilities, the shapeshifting ability.
Fenrir's huge explosion of magic power had evidently drawn the attention of someone from a distant place. "A familiar magic explosion, is it time for us to move master?"A black-robed person with fiery red eyes asked the opinion of the person in front of him. The person called master looked at the outside of the castle and seemed to have his mind wandering far away. "We will begin our plan, but we will do it slowly. Our plan must be successful and in accordance with our goals so far. I alone will ensure that our Lord's revenge is carried out."The master gazed intently at the painting on the wall of the castle, a painting of the dashing man the master called Lord. "I will avenge you Lord, and bring back our glory. "The master said inwardly showing how much loss and pain he had felt for the loss of his Lord. ---------------Silya was still carrying Fenrir away from the Clark family residence. With her rain magic Silya tried to eliminate the trail and ran into the forest. But th
Gildart seemed to have just woken up from his stupor. Next to Gildart was Albert who was the main servant of the Clark noble family. "How long have I been unconscious Albert?"Gildart held the back of his head that had been hit earlier. Gildart also felt a slight pain from the direction of his stomach. Gildart blinked his slightly blurry eyes and looked around the room. Gildart recognized this room, this was his rest room. "About half an hour sir"Albert said as he bowed slightly to Gildart. There was something that Gildart had just realized, if he was already inside the resting room it meant that the battle against Silya was over, because Gildart no longer heard the noise outside the room. "Where did Silya and the slave go? Did you manage to capture them? "Gildart's face seemed to turn red again remembering what Fenrir had done to him. A lowly slave was able to knock him unconscious. Making the honor of Gildart who was the Empire's protective bastion tarnished. This made all of
Albert looked so shocked to see the state of Assaf and the assassins. How could it not be, some assassins died with their bodies stuck to the roots of a spiky tree that towered upwards and some had become several parts that were no longer intact, a sight so horrifying, some soldiers looked sick when they saw some corpses leaving only parts of the body with their entrails hanging out. The morale of some soldiers looked so depressed seeing this scene, tragic deaths do happen often, but for some soldiers, this was their first experience seeing such a horrible thing. "Take the wounded troops to the rear, look for a more spacious place and dry ground to treat. All soldiers who have healing abilities help all the wounded and the rest collect the corpses and partially stand guard."Albert tried to restore the morale of his troops. Albert did not want the remaining soldiers to be mentally weakened and depressed. Albert also did not want the wounded soldiers to become obstacles to their move
"Well, our sleeping prince is awake. How did you sleep, sir? It seems like you had a beautiful dream, to sleep so soundly?"Silya teased Fenrir who had just woken up from his stupor. Fenrir was surprised that the sky was already dark and the stars were visible. From what Fenrir remembered the last time before fainting, it was still daytime. Fenrir's body still felt weak, the magic power he released seemed to be too great for his body to withstand the side effects. "Lie down, don't force your body. Let your weak body rest."Silya, who saw Fenrir forcing his body to sit up, suggested that Fenrir lie down. Silya approached and placed Fenrir's head on her lap. Fenrir who was not used to Silya's treatment instead moved his head back down. Silya, who felt annoyed, wanted to hit Fenrir's stubborn head. But Silya undid her intention because Silya realized that if she hit Fenrir's head, Fenrir would fall unconscious again. Fenrir who was in bad mood turned his face away from Silya's annoyed
"Master..."A scream followed the woman's presence. A pained cry full of worry. Fenrir immediately lunged at Silya's body, which looked so limp and helpless. Fenrir managed to catch Silya's head which almost fell to the ground. Fenrir worriedly channeled his mana to try to heal Silya. "What happened to you, master Silya?"Fenrir unconsciously shed tears seeing Silya's limp and wounded state. The clothes attached to Silya's body were full of blood and there were many open wounds all over her body. Edgar, who was also shocked by Silya's condition, immediately ordered to call the healer troops to help Fenrir heal Silya. "Who has done all this to you, master Silya?"Fenrir continued to channel his mana to stop the bleeding on Silya's body. Some of the wounds looked so big and Fenrir could tell they were wounds from torture, because Fenrir had been tortured by Zeldris so many times that Fenrir knew exactly what they looked like. It was a wound from the lash of a slave whip. "Is that y
This morning the weather was very cloudy. I don't know how long it had been since the Seth Duat Desert was shaded by black clouds like today. Fenrir was seen opening a few pages from his mother's book as if to release his curiosity and nostalgia for his mother. Fenrir is now quite confident that he can use the entire contents of the book considering that his body's strength has increased rapidly. Even Fenrir can now remove all of his mana restraining rings and earrings without fear of losing consciousness. Fenrir was also quite sure he could remove the seals in his eyes without losing control. But Fenrir chose not to because he did not want the people around him to feel the impact of the immense magic power he possessed. "What book are you reading, sir?"A boy about five years old asked Fenrir about the book he was holding. Seth Duat was now a fairly safe and well-visited region after news of Wukong's conquest had spread throughout the Empire. Many merchants brought their families
With a sharp gaze Fenrir prepared to draw his sword. There was no hesitation in his eyes. "...No, sir. Forgive me..." Wukong again begged for forgiveness. "...I will definitely keep my promise. You can perform the golden headband technique on me to make sure I always obey your orders...""What is the golden headband technique?""...It's a special technique to curb my power. Every time you recite the incantation, it will bring unbearable pain to me, and it will make me follow all your orders. This technique was once created by a god to punish unruly servants..."Fenrir was quite curious about the veracity of Wukong's story. From his current state, Wukong would not dare to lie to Fenrir, because Wukong was also unlikely to escape with a body full of wounds. "Alright, teach me the spell."Wukong taught Fenrir the golden headband technique. Soon a headband appeared on Wukong's head. "...Look master. This is a sign that I am fully under your control..."Fenrir could also see a golden
An enormous dark red lightning bolt was seen striking in the middle of the battle. Its flashes of light illuminated the night revealing the blood-soaked land produced by the battle between the knights and Wukong. The lightning struck the body of Wukong who was being surrounded by dozens of Nordam Empire knights. The impact caused the knights around Wukong to bounce off as well. Wukong couldn't move from the magnitude of the attack. His body seemed to be rooted to the spot, paralyzed. The power of the Swordmage judgment strike sword technique that was strengthened by Suzaku's fire really gave damage that Wukong could not block. Seeing Wukong who began to fall, the knights were increasingly eager to immediately defeat Wukong. They attacked Wukong with all their might. The strength of the Nordam knights was no less great. After all, they were the chosen ones who were under direct orders from Edgar. With various attacks ranging from sword techniques, arrows, and magic were deployed to s
"This will be a long night. Our hunt in this barren land will soon end. I will lead you to victory.""To victory.""To victory."Edgar's short speech was followed by cheers from his troops, showing the spirit of the knights ready to fight on the battlefield.Tonight was the night Fenrir had been waiting for since he arrived in Seth Duat. After three months of struggling with monster hunting to extract their crystals and performing bone forging techniques on his body to have a much stronger physique, it was now time for Fenrir to show that these three months hadn't been wasted. Together with Mercia and Loki by his side, along with Edgar and the Nordam Empire knights he led, tonight they would finally attack Wukong's lair.The Scout troops had successfully confirmed Wukong's whereabouts after months of monitoring his movements. And tonight would be their first direct attack on Wukong's lair.Previously, Edgar and his troops had never directly attacked Wukong's lair and were more defensi
"This will be the last crystal shard I implant in your body."Edgar placed a dark purple crystal on Fenrir's back."After three months of crystal hunting and hundreds of crystals used for bone forging, this shard will finally be the last piece to complete the technique we've been working on."Using a mysterious technique, Edgar made the crystal on Fenrir's back emit a dark purple aura. The aura slowly entered Fenrir's body, causing him to flinch slightly. Fenrir felt again the warm sensation penetrating the bones in his back. A sensation that had become like daily food for him over these three months."It seems your body has absorbed it perfectly. With this, we can be sure that your body is now equivalent to an S-rank Warrior."Edgar patted Fenrir's shoulders with relief and pride. Because with this, he officially had an S-level disciple.Fenrir looked quite tired after going through this whole process, but the results obtained were far more than worthy of fighting for. Now Fenrir fel
Edgar and the rest of his troops pursued northward according to the information they received. ''What is this? Why are there so many monster carcasses all over the road we're traveling on?''Edgar stared in horror at the sights he had seen as far as the eye could see, where with every footstep, Edgar could see almost the entire road surrounded by dead monsters, occasionally he would see the bodies of adventurers or royal soldiers who had lost their lives and were just lying there.''I believe these are the carcasses of the victims of Wukong's ferocity judging from the bite marks. That means we're heading in the right direction. We must catch up as soon as possible so that no more victims fall."From Edgar's observations, he could confirm that all the monsters he saw at that time were the same type as the monsters that Edgar and his soldiers were currently targeting, so Edgar was very sure that the direction they were heading was correct. A few days into their journey, Edgar and his
"Well, I'll tell you a little about how I came to Seth Duat and how we decided to become blacksmiths in this place."After a while of pressure from Fenrir, Loki and Mercia, Edgar finally gave in. He finally opened up a bit about the story that led him to do all these things in the first place.It all started with the attack of the monsters who managed to break through the magic wall on the border of the Forbidden Place, which ultimately made Edgar feel like a failure and decided to change his appearance and identity so that he could guard and protect the residents of the area even if it was by stealth."Really? Then, let's quickly tell me about something." Fenrir was enthusiastic when Edgar finally opened up to him and his two friends and began to tell his story of how he came to be in that place."Ten years ago, I received an emergency message from the border gate of the Forbidden Place in the Nordam Empire. The emergency message said that there were many monsters who had managed to
They attacked Wukong simultaneously, applying considerable pressure on the creature. Wukong, receiving the successive attacks, became overwhelmed and eventually retreated for a moment. Although the attacks did not significantly damage Wukong, it was enough for Edgar to prepare his next move - his ultimate sword technique.Bruagh!Wukong's body was pushed back, crashing into several trees that immediately fell simultaneously. However, Wukong did not give up. Instead, the creature became even more fierce and attempted to launch an attack towards the soldiers behind Edgar again."I can't just stand here. I have to help Edgar. At least my presence here can provide some assistance. I will join in attacking Wukong using the Crimson Moon sword technique."Seeing Edgar preparing for his sword technique, Fenrir did not want to remain idle either. Fenrir also prepared his Crimson Moon sword technique to help injure the creature. Moreover, when he saw the adventurers cooperating to continuous
