Ed subjugation battle (10)
– ‘Taylor. ‘He’s the main character.’
– ‘No matter how difficult and arduous it seems right now… The day will come when we will overcome it all and see the light.’
A night full of stars.
These are the words Ayla whispered to Taily, who was covered in scars, as they sat side by side behind the barn.
Even though it was just words of comfort, Tailly herself knew very well how much help it gave her.
– ‘They say heroes are cool and beautiful because they have overcome arduous trials.’
– ‘So, these arduous trials and pains facing Tailly now are just ingredients for the glory to shine when Tailly overcomes them all.’
However, contrary to what I thought was mere words of comfort… Ayla Tris was sincere.
Ayla was sincerely rooting for Tailie to overcome all the hardships and move forward.
– ‘They say it’s usually darkest before the sun rises.’
The cool air of the night, when grasshoppers cry, sits between the boy and the girl.
– ‘So, we must never forget that the current reality is dark. Taily. You are the main character of your life. You will get through it all.’
– Shoot aaaaa
It’s raining heavily. The night is still dark.
Cabin camp in the northern forest.
A blond-haired boy stands amidst the rain that beats down on his body.
As if wondering what was wrong with the cold raindrops, as if wondering what was wrong with the darkness of the dark night.
He stood like a holy saint and relaxed his hand holding the dagger… This is Ed Rosstaylor.
He looks at Ayla and says something with his mouth open.
─What can I say, trials do not always come only to the protagonist.
Rather, there are more people in the world who cannot live the life of a protagonist.
The stage of the world is too large and there are too many characters to embrace everyone as the main character.
So whether it’s Ayla, Ed, anyone… In the end, we live the life of a supporting character.
Even to such people, harsh trials come equally.
Whether you are kicked out of the academy and lead a wild life in the forest, trying to find your place in the flow of life-threatening scenarios, or gritting your teeth and enduring criticism in Sylvania, where there is not a single ally.
Unlike those who live the life of a protagonist who hopes that there will be light at the end of the ordeal.
It is a world full of people who just grit their teeth and endure, not even sure whether there will be light or darkness at the end.
That is the life of Ed Rothtaylor, standing upright on the stage at the end of Act 5.
Jenica Palover, Glast, Lucy Mayril, Crepin Rothtaylor, Sylvania Robester.
The ending of those in charge of the end of the stage that he saw in .
It was the lives of the supporting actors engraved in those two eyes.
Leading and supporting actors, heroes and villains.
Ayla also knew from the beginning that the world could not be divided in such a shallow way.
However, if you stay in a dark room and listen to the news going on in the world, you will know. It is also a well-known fact that there are people who inevitably lead the life of a leading man.
It goes without saying, but there are more supporting characters in the world than protagonists.
There are many more people who continue the flow of the story so that the stage can move on to the next act and reach its ending intact.
This is a story about writers who live ordinary lives, far from extraordinary.
That’s why Ed always makes eye contact with them.
A strong and studious alchemist, a blood-drunk swordsman, a guardian of the grasslands, a weak-hearted elementalist, and a strong elementalist.
The lives of those supporting characters are Ed’s lives, and our lives as we have to endure all sorts of uncertain trials…
Ayla vaguely felt it…
“Seongchangryong Velbroke will be resurrected.”
Ed Ross Taylor’s shoulders, standing solemnly in the rain, seemed heavier than expected.
“He’s the only one who can kill it.”
*With a loud noise, the collapsed remains of the Elte Store building washed up in the store’s front yard.
Elvira, who forcibly dragged Clevius, who was having a hard time even holding his own, to a safe place, swept away the rain running down his face.
“this… Things are getting bigger than I thought… ”
He laid Clevius’ body down under a tree in the front yard of the store and squeezed out the water from his head.
“Is it okay to make a fuss like this?”
“In the first place, the owner of the building was Lortel. “Senior Ed probably committed it because he had a way to fix it.”
As Elvira frowned and sighed, Ziggs came out from the remains of the building, shaking off his clothes. She appears to be fine as she naturally responds to Elvira’s words.
There doesn’t seem to be any serious injuries, and it doesn’t look like he fought that hard to begin with.
Unlike Elvira, who really gritted her teeth and fought with all her might, she didn’t seem to be struggling, so she opened her half-moon eyes and looked at Ziggs.
“What is it, Ziggs? You look fine. “Tailly ran out with the intention of destroying everything at any moment.”
“It seems like that, but I guess I was holding on to the last bit of reason. “No matter what, I don’t think he wanted to cut down someone he knew.”
Ziggs, too, was wet from the rain and rolled up his bangs. Perhaps because of his hair stuck to the rain, he looked much calmer than usual.
“Actually, they probably didn’t have much interest in us. I just wanted to run out and save Ayla right away. “Elvira, are you hurt?”
“It was nothing special. The more you push yourself into a corner, the stronger your temperament becomes… “I couldn’t feel it when I just heard it, but after seeing it right in front of me, I could nod my head.”
Elvira leaned against the tree trunk and shivered a little as if it were cold.
“Honestly, I thought it would end with you, Ziggs.”
“I was embarrassed too. “When did Clevious come?”
“I don’t know. Why is this stupid idiot here… ”
Glancing at the unconscious Clevius from the corner of her eye, Elvira sighed without finishing her sentence. She seemed like she didn’t really want to pick on Clevius.
Ziggs laughed when he saw that.
This person and that person, if you look at their true feelings, they are all weak in the end.
“I don’t know, really. “First of all, I participated, but I don’t know how to resolve all of this.”
“Anyway, all the big things we have to do have been completed, so let’s prepare to withdraw. Are you going to Ofilis Hall?”
“Of course. however… “What about Senior Yenika and Senior Tracyana?”
When you look at the Elte Commercial Building, you will be amazed.
The cutting edge that divides that huge building is as clean as anyone can see, as if it had been cut with a knife.
The sight of a building being cut by a knife. Will I ever have another chance to see this strange sight?
No matter how much he was a descendant of a sword saint, he could never have imagined that he would deliver a sword strike that could cut through such a range with this much power.
Tailley, who is cornered, has the strength to somehow resist fate… Even two people who had gone through all kinds of hardships couldn’t make a guess.
“Senior Tracy Anna is taking care of the employees of the store. “It seems like he activated his own protection magic because he didn’t want to have any casualties.”
“No matter what, you’re trustworthy.”
“I came here to help too. “You and Clevius are injured, so there is no need to participate in the cleanup.”
From Ziggs’ perspective, Clevious’s intrusion was an unexpected variable.
Originally, there was no plan to corner Taily to this extent. However, I can only hold out my tongue at Tailley’s will to overcome even this and run away.
As Elvira nodded and completely leaned against the tree trunk, Ziggs looked around a few times and said,
“however… Senior Yenika… ? “It’s not here either?”
*- Shoot aaaaa
Ayla’s pupils tremble greatly in the pouring rain.
After thinking about what I said for a moment, I stuttered without even thinking about calming down my trembling eyes.
“I beg your pardon… ? Seong Chang-ryong… resurrection… ? The seal of Great Sage Sylvania has been released… ”
It’s like a lightning strike in a dry sky.
They grab random people on the street and tell them not to stay still and run away because soon the entire area will be devastated… I just stare with bewildered eyes.
It’s a situation where I can’t even provide a basis for how I know that fact. It may be natural to first suspect that you have lost your mind.
To begin with, I didn’t expect anyone to believe me if I told them.
Ayla remained silent for a long time, unable to say anything. I was in no position to criticize her, so I just stared at her.
[ Master Ed… ! ]
It was then.
A bat suddenly flew in, came out through the forest, and landed on my shoulder.
“Mug?”
The fire on Mug’s body was burning brightly, despite the pouring rain.
After becoming a lieutenant spirit, he was hardly affected by the climate.
Mug grew quite bulky, leaned into my ear, and whispered something.
I nodded, drew out my magic power, and sent the mug flying again. Then the mug was quietly reverse summoned and disappeared.
It is difficult to bring out almost any magical power in the body. I wanted to minimize the magical power consumed to maintain the spirit.
“They say Tailly is coming.”
“what… I said… ?”
“It looks like the Elte Trading Company has been sorted out. “Contrary to plan, it doesn’t seem like everything was breached.”
When I said that, Ayla’s pupils trembled widely again.
Are they really coming through all of that? That fact is unbelievable.
No matter how much Ayla had always believed in and relied on Tailley, she never thought she would overcome and break through that level of wall.
Same goes for me.
I thought that no matter how much one was born with the fate of the protagonist, there was a degree. I didn’t receive an accurate report on the situation at Elte Trading Company, so I don’t know much about it, but I didn’t expect it to be this bad.
“They’ll hit the camp soon.”
“then… Are you fighting Taily?”
“do not worry. “It doesn’t happen the way you think.”
I lightly tried to raise my body’s magic power. I can’t even produce 1/10th of the output I normally produce.
Physically, it is difficult because a slight fever remains in the body. My body felt heavy due to the rain.
“I can’t beat Taily right now anyway. There are too many restrictions on my body now.”
“Then you were… in the first place.” why… !”
“Didn’t you tell me everything from the beginning? “I have always been consistent.”
From the first time I made plans with Ayla, I have always been honest about my goals.
“I just want to check his specifications.”
There are at least a few things you need to have in order to catch a bellbroke without damage.
The most important thing is that Tailly’s swordsmanship, which will deal the final blow to Velbroke, has grown properly. To be precise, it is a sword technique, dragon slayer sword, holy sword implementation, space cutting, and heart sword. You have to learn it up to this point.
And in order to reduce casualties as much as possible during Velbroke’s resurrection, as many forces as possible must be involved in the subjugation battle. Preparation becomes easier when there is systematic movement of a large-scale punitive force.
The Imperial Knights, the mercenaries of the Elte Company, the apostles of the Holy Emperor, and even members of the empire’s influential families… Everyone must participate in the punitive force, whether by mobilizing political means, making a deal, or whatever.
Plus… Only by securing the keepsakes left behind by Sylvania Robester will the ‘minimum condition’ to be able to catch Bell Broke without casualties be met.
Checking Tailly’s growth is only the first step.
– Quang! Hwaaaaaaaaa!
From near the entrance to the North Forest, the sound of magical power being used to kick the ground.
Birds fly and clap, and the noise spreads throughout the forest.
It is the sound of Tailly, who is probably angry to the core, running through the forest to the camp. Now that the sound can be heard directly, it is really close.
Judging by the speed at which the sound was getting closer, we were almost there.
After checking the condition of the dagger and putting it in its scabbard, I gathered magic engineering supplies, various traps, and crafting tools that were scattered around the camp.
I took off my rain-soaked school uniform coat and rolled up the sleeves of my shirt. He swept her face from the bottom, pushed up her bangs, and wiped away the rainwater.
“What are you…?” ”
It was only then that Ayla opened her mouth.
“What are you carrying?”
A question asked anxiously with wide-open eyes.
I completely packed up the dagger and put it away, gathering magical power into my fingertips.
Unlike usual, a dark red energy blooms… It is the power of Aspect magic.
“Are you curious?”
“… ”
Then shall I tell you?
While saying that, he approached Ayla. As she nodded her head, facing me with her anxious eyes, I slowly opened her mouth.
“Listen to me carefully.”
“… ”
“just… “Nothing much.”
“… … ”
The magic power of the Aspect rising little by little begins to surround Ayla’s body.
Even though it was only a very small amount of magical power, it started to take a toll on my body. Breathing stopped intermittently, and cold sweat broke out.
Nevertheless, I grit my teeth and unleash the Aspect Magic ‘Dazzle’, but since my proficiency level is still only level 1, I cannot properly control the consciousness.
It just makes your mind blank for a moment or makes it difficult for your thoughts to flow. But at this point, that’s enough.
“If you say useless things, things will only get more complicated. “Get some rest now.”
– Wheeeeeeeeek!
Soon, I clenched my fist, and Ayla lost consciousness.
I had to endure the excruciating pain while frowning for a moment due to the recoil of the Aspect’s magic power.
-Thumping.
Eventually, Ayla’s unconscious body was received. Because of her small build, she was not very heavy.
He led Ayla and pushed her body towards the wooden shelter. If you put it down here, you will at least be able to avoid the rain.
I roughly covered piles of fur lying around nearby to maintain a reasonable amount of body temperature. I also added more padding to the entrance and checked carefully to prevent rain from seeping in.
After helping Ayla, who was completely unconscious, slowly stand up in the rain.
– Shootaaaaa
The intermittent pounding and running sound stopped.
After blocking the entrance to the wooden shelter, I stood up… He didn’t bother to look back.
Even without looking back, I could guess who was behind me.
– Kugoong, boom.
– Shoot aaaah.
“There you are, Taylee McLaure.”
I called his name quietly like that. No answer came back.
I slowly looked back. After seeing the boy at the entrance to the camp, I turned around and stood facing him.
“Ed Rosstaylor.”
The prosecutor’s uniform was completely worn out, and the body was covered in blood.
Hair that has turned pure white, and eyes that are burning red.
Without further ado, the main character of . Tailley McLaure is right.
The way he glares at me with his burning eyes is full of anger.
I don’t know why, but a sarcastic laugh came out.
“you… ”
– Woe!
Before I could say anything, a sword strike came first.
Tailley McLaure has little time on her hands. As if even the time to exchange a single word was a waste, they rushed in.
– Kaang!
We quickly try to implement defensive magic, but there are limits to our limited magical power.
Due to the shock from the sword strike, I was pushed towards the bonfire. Even though I definitely would have blocked it, I had to collect myself again after rolling on the floor a few times.
“Huh… ”
I pick myself up from the mud. I wipe the mud from my face with my forearm and look back at Tailly through the rain.
The protagonist of this world raises his eyes, holding a great sword flowing with magnificent magical power.
You can tell just by looking at it. The ‘Deadly Horse’ skill, which corresponds to the critical period of the Sword Saint Ceremony, has been activated. This shows how arduous and difficult the ordeal at Elte Trading Company was.
Tailly, just like Tailly, is in a corner. There is no telling how long the power of the Sword Saint Ceremony will continue.
That side is completely devastated, and this side is unable to use magical power. Ironically, the weight of the scale somehow fits.
After saying that, I burst into laughter.
“Okay, let’s give it a try.”
I held the dagger backwards and took out a handful of magic engineering supplies in the other hand.
Cabin camp in the rain. As I looked at Tailly like that for a while… I waited for my opponent’s move.
The stage was approaching its finale.
*
“Tell the coachman. “Let the carriage start.”
When Dune finished explaining, Lucy’s eyes were already in an unusual state.
Princess Fenia and her entourage were watching each other. If the Princess of Persica’s convoy was really mixed up for that reason, then the story goes that the Princess of Persica used the movements of her Princess Fenia for her own tricks.
I had no idea how Princess Fenia would accept this fact.
However, Lucy seems to be okay with Princess Fenia’s position… I gave instructions to the princess’ coachman as if I were a princess.
“I want to go to camp too.”
Dune looked at Lucy with trembling eyes.
It was impossible to read the emotions on her face as she adjusted her witch’s hat and opened her blank eyes.
