7. Jealousy is my strength (52)

‘Put the sun through the eye of a needle.’

Yes, it was clearly like this.

It wasn’t a story I’d heard very much. Yeah, isn’t that absurd?

In a sense, it was as absurd as asking to penetrate space out of nowhere.

Isn’t this an order that even a graduate student in the Faculty of Magic, famous for his servile spirit, would shake his head at?

However, the opportunity for objection did not return to me.

It was because the faint screams of a woman could be heard from afar.

“… … Kyaaak!”

“Pugh, aha… hahahahaha!”

And then, a loud laugh erupted.

It was an exciting rhyme that was hardly suitable for the clear and clean tone.

I didn’t even feel the need to check the owner. Because the origin of the voice was obvious.

It must have been the sound made by the vampire and the swordsmith, respectively.

Before long, the archwitch and I blindly turned to the battlefield again. There, I could see a vampire barely supporting his tattered clothes with his arm. In addition, even the girl whose uniform was torn everywhere was no less than him.

The girl’s eyes were burning with fierce fighting desire. To the extent that even naming the emotion ‘madness’ would not be inferior.

The swordsman raised his voice as he gnashed his teeth.

“How is it, you monster! I must have said… I give back what I receive!”

“I’m not crazy bitch, this!”

Strangely, the perpetrator and victim were reversed.

But I could tell

The fact that scars began to leave on the swordsmith’s body as well as on the vampire.

What if, by any chance, the power of ‘swordsmith’ was to be dislodged?

There was no answer.

Because a monster that was equivalent to a Master could only be dealt with by a Master.

As if reading my thoughts, the Archwitch let out a low sigh.

“Then, please.”

“The Archwitch… … ?”

The answer to that question was with a bitter smile.

“I’m about to play with my ugly sister after a long time. You join the sword maniac.”

Only then did a hypothesis pass through my mind.

“Then, if the swordsman splits the space and I assist… … !”

“No, not a sword maniac. The magic that creates this barrier is related to the Five Elements. In other words, it means that destruction is impossible without my vision, which contains a similar principle.”

Looking at me with my last remaining hope destroyed, the Archwitch only snorted.

“Even if I can’t, it’s a barrier prepared for decades or hundreds of years. That’s why the caster can have a confrontation with the Master… Of course, you shouldn’t take it lightly.”

“… … Then why is the old swordsman?”

“Are you still not a swordsman? Maybe you can give me more helpful advice… Then, I’m done.”

So the Archwitch waved her hands and left.

Until the attention of the two women was focused on the sound of footsteps.

The expression on the face of the vampire, who was concentrating on the battle, showed a look of bewilderment.

“You, how… … ?”

“You shouldn’t underestimate me too much, Beomjae.”

While doing so, the Archwitch secretly turned one of her palms upward.

Before long, the fire, water, and electric charge began to rise.

“Even if you can’t draw out your body’s power, you can still use the power of the three elements… Unlike anyone without talent, I mean.”

It was a blatant provocation.

Its intention was obvious, but the vampire was not a generous person enough to care about the circumstances.

On the contrary, I don’t know if you’re mad with an inferiority complex.

Sigh!

He exerted so much force that the sound of his whole tooth being smashed echoed through.

There was another one who was really upset.

The swordsman even expressed displeasure on his face and tried to stop the archwitch.

“Grandma, are you crazy?! This monster belongs to me… … !”

“yes? Then I should be teaching the kid as it is.”

“… … But I will give you a special concession!”

The persuasion was over in an instant, and the girl immediately kicked the ground and retreated.

It was a situation that the Archwitch did not hope for.

No, actually even for vampires.

The Archwitch calmed herself down with a deep breath. Even so, the hostility that appeared in those pale green eyes could not be completely erased.

“Huh, it reminds me of the old days.”

“… … I, I don’t think.”

The vampire cut off his words with a single sword, and began to spread bloody mist.

The air touched by the mist shook. At first glance, it was an unusual technique.

“Because I’m not the old me anymore, huh?!”

And, binge drinking.

The bloody mist was expanding and melting everything. The crimson blades that suddenly appeared through the gaps in the distorted space aimed at the archwitch’s fragile skin.

It was an uphill battle.

He was trying hard to pretend to be calm, but the process of pushing away the bloody blades by pushing the bloody fog with magic couldn’t be easy. Even the amount of momentum contained in the bloody weapons was beyond imagination.

thump, thump, thump!

The noise is like hitting a chisel with a hammer.

All kinds of natural forces were pouring down from the gaps in the space that the bloody mist had torn apart. Storms, thunderbolts, and scorching fires roared and covered the whole world.

I couldn’t erase the worried look on my face.

It’s just that there was someone who stood in my way before that.

The uniform of the girl who landed in front of me with a smack of pride was in perfect tatters. In fact, it lost its function as a costume, and the pure white skin beyond it was visible without filtering.

It was an embarrassing sight.

I quickly averted my gaze, but the girl didn’t even seem to realize what was wrong. The form of shouting while holding the sword and holding the hand seemed to be in a very good mood.

“Little boy, have you finally made up your mind? Cancer, that’s it. don’t have to… Shouldn’t all swordsmen learn from swordsmen?”

“I, old man… … ?”

Embarrassed and unable to remove my hand from my mug, I cautiously opened my mouth.

Then the girl looked at me with eyes that did not know why. At that innocent reaction, a sense of guilt ran through my chest.

I closed my eyes and cried out.

“That, Nasin… … !”

“yes? Ah, ah!”

Only then did the swordsman exclaim as if he realized something.

I must have let out a sigh of relief, wondering if I would finally feel comfortable.

I felt the presence of the swordsman subtly clinging to me.

A mischievous smile filled my vision.

“How is it, pretty? yes?”

What is this sound.

I had no choice but to look down at the girl with my eyes wide open. Then, there was white skin reflected in the corner of my vision, so I had no choice but to look away again.

When I hesitated and couldn’t answer, the swordsman smiled and shook his head.

“Yes, yes. It’s a natural desire… I understand. What can I do, let me touch you?”

“No, what are you talking about… Are you finally crazy, old man?!”

At this point, I couldn’t stand it any longer.

I raised my voice, but the girl rather laughed and laughed as if she was having fun.

Could it be that the vampire was cheating on something?

It was right after I swallowed the dried saliva in genuine fear.

“… … Don’t do that, come on! Try touching it!”

What the girl held out while shouting so proudly was the sword.

The silver sword he was holding.

My eyes, not understanding the situation for an instant, were stunned. Regardless, the swordsman just smiled happily.

“I didn’t know you knew the name of this sword. ‘Pure white naked’… It is a relic that is said to have been made during the unified empire. Also, the tragic love story of the potter is impressive… … .”

“The old swordsman.”

When the words were cut off with a single knife, the girl looked at me with an expression of incomprehensibility.

A few seconds of hesitation while looking at those hazy blue eyes.

In the end, I had no choice but to let out a voice mixed with a sigh.

“… … The Archwitch is struggling. Let’s go.”

“Hmm, okay? That old woman has to work hard.”

Surprisingly, it was fortunate that the swordsman had a pure personality.

To be honest, I wanted to say that it would cover the breastbone.

Like that, the swordsmith and I were able to start the strategy meeting right away.

“Swordsmith, can you put the sun through the eye of a needle?”

It was a simple question.

And it was also a problem at the heart of this difficulty. The swordsman’s reaction to this mysterious question was truly plain.

“Hmm, maybe the medicine wasn’t enough… … ?”

“no no. These are the words of the Archwitch.”

Only then did the swordsman stop rummaging through his arms.

I wondered if there would be any inner pockets left in the torn clothes.

A moan escaped from between the girl’s closed lips. In the meantime, there was a continuous explosion behind my back.

Bang bang!

Even the occasional stabbing sound was added. When I peeked at it, it was in the middle of a power struggle between the spheres and the bloody fog that drew countless light trails.

Then crack.

Right after the sound of kwajik passed my ears.

An earth-shaking explosion erupted.

The aftermath of the storm alone made the earth shake. Faced with the wind raking my skin like a rake, I brushed the poor girl.

“Something, can’t you guess?!”

It might have been because of that.

“Can a sword cut through the sky?”

The reason why the swordsman started a Seon dialogue out of nowhere.

I swallowed the curse inwardly.
