Water Magician

Chapter 433: Ryo’s Return

Editor: Tseirp

The two minions watched from a distance as the situation around the Djinn Garwin unfolded.

You could also catch some snippets of their conversation

Dammit, hes going against the Hero and the Demon Lord at the same time over there

If its Garwin-sama, there should be no problem facing the Hero and the Demon Lord.

Oranj enviously remarked while Isolde expressed her full trust in Garwins combat abilities.

Hey, minion. You were defeated by a human king, yet you speak of the Hero and the Demon Lord dont you think you should know your place?

Huh? Coming from an elf whos only good with a bow.

Sera why are you provoking him?

Sera teased, Oranj got angry, and Abel shook his head slightly.

Abel muttered quietly.

You are starting to take after a certain premier duke, arent you?

Clang.

As Oranj swiftly leaped forward, Sera effortlessly blocked the swung sword.

An elf who can handle a sword to some extent, huh?

Is this it? Abel, if youre struggling against a minion of this level, are you getting complacent after becoming king?

Dont drag me into it

Oranj, Sera, and the reluctant Abel each expressed their thoughts.

Thats enough. Killing a bowless elf wont be worth anything, but Ill gladly cut off that arrogant mouth of yours.

For a Djinns minion, thats quite a serious line. Your usual demeanor must be quite rigid.

You guys know youre out of place, right?

The duel between Oranj and Sera began.

But soon after the duel started, Oranj realized something.

(Seriously is this elf some kind of sword prodigy? )

Seras astounding swordsmanship perhaps for the average person, it would go unnoticed, but not for Oranj. After just a few exchanges, he understood completely.

He took a step back and called out to Isolde.

Isolde, give back the speed you borrowed from me!

Sera, considering a follow-up attack, became interested in Oranjs words.

You can lend speed? The realm of swordmanship has become quite something, Abel.

Yeah, I think thats a realm of swordmanship Im unfamiliar with.

Abel retorted to Seras comment.

That bad, uh. Well, okay. Ill give it back, so settle this quickly.

The moment Isolde spoke, a faint golden light emanated from her body and entered Oranj.

Ah, finally.

Oranj said, swinging his sword once or twice.

I see. Your sword flashes have become much sharper than before.

Oh, you could tell. This is my true speed.

Sera admired and Oranj grinned in response.

But soon, Oranj turned to Abel with a somewhat apologetic expression.

I apologize to Your Majesty. I wasnt holding back back then; I fought with all my might.

Though Oranj seemed arrogant and overbearing at times, when it came to swordsmanship, he was sincere.

Thats why, after fighting Abel with all his might, he apologized for the lack of speed at that time.

I honestly dont want to know that your speed was lacking back then

Abel muttered as he finally managed to stand, leaning on his beloved sword.

Roxley, Ill leave the female minion to you. Shes probably immortal, so dont do anything reckless like a double KO.

Understood.

Sera instructed Roxley, who stood protectively by Abels side, believing that Roxley could handle a minion whose speed had dropped.

Having to borrow speed from another minion well, it just goes to show the reality of things.

Apart from Sera, Roxley who excelled in swordsmanship in the Western Forest, was deemed capable enough to handle her.

We dont know when shell unexpectedly attack and try to kill Abel.

My bad.

Dont worry about it. If Abel dies, Ryo will be sad, wont he?

Its not for me or the Kingdom, but for Ryo well, I sort of knew that.

Abels last words were so quiet that no one heard them.

And so, the duel between the minion Oranj and Sera resumed.

Oranjs sword and movements were incomparable to before.

To the extent that Abel, who had fought with all his might just moments ago, was left speechless.

However

It was matched by equal speed.

And unyielding strength.

Sera, cloaked in Wind Equip was no less than otherworldly.

No way

I hope theres more to it than this.

Naturally.

This was an experience he had never encountered before.

Garwin, while catching the sword, wrapped his entire body around it

Rotating his body clockwise as if entwining it with the sword.

It resembled a pro wrestling move called the Dragon Screw.

Where the attacker wraps the opponents leg and rotates, damaging their knee. But this time, it was not a leg but a sword

A technique unique to unarmed combat.

The arm holding the sword twisted, causing Roman to involuntarily release Astaroth.

Garwin seized Astaroth. Even though his strength was being drained by the Holy Sword, he paid no mind to it.

He rose from the ground and drove his right elbow into Romans solar plexus.

Guhaa.

The solar plexus, a vulnerable point where muscles overlap.

Its a difficult area to train due to the structure of the human body.

Hence, a vital spot.

Roman was sent flying.

Simultaneously, Garwin hurled the Holy Sword Astaroth at Nadia.

Even Nadia, the Demon Lord, couldnt perceive the speed of the throw.

Moreover, it was a holy sword.

An ordinary armor could shatter upon impact

Clang.

But there was a sharp metallic sound as Astaroth veered away from Nadia.

The king who refuses to die

It was King Abel who threw it.

His magic sword.

He hadnt fully recovered his strength yet.

After throwing the sword that supported his body, he knelt on both knees on the ground.

And he thought to himself.

(I guessit was too much after all.)

As long as they couldnt defeat the Djinn, there was no hope for the Kingdom.

Against Oranj, the minion, Sera was slightly superior in battle.

However, even if she managed to defeat him, he would likely be resurrected by Djinn Garwin again.

Indeed, the crux of the matter was Garwin.

However

Even the ultimate combination of the hero and demon lord couldnt win.

While Sera might be the best in swordsmanshipGarwin was indestructible even if slashed to pieces.

He would regenerate even if riddled with holes.

And so finally, the of the priests vanished.

The magic power to deploy the had run out.

Compared to , it was a miracle of God that consumed magic power recklessly.

Rather, it was impressive that they held out for this long.

At last.

Garwin laughed.

Is this the end?

Abel despaired.

Well then, its time to destroy that absurd alchemy tool and do away with the priests.

Garwin said, laughing.

At that moment.

The sky tore open.

And something emerged.

A resounding voice echoed.

.

Followed by another voice.

The next moment.

The Djinn and its minions were riddled with holes from ice lances.

Simultaneously, the Djinn was slashed by ice swords wielded by three figures.

.

The Djinn was further shredded into pieces.

As a result

The Djinn vanished.

It was the return of the water-attribute magician, Ryo.
