Chapter 13 A stone that fell to the water
Birang held the spear covered with blue magic in his hand without shaking. Among the members of the Ballista Guild, the biggest man who talked the loudest was the goal. If you throw it with force like this, it will be accurately pierced in the head of the man who makes a riot.
But just before throwing the spear, another person suddenly appeared in her sight.
"Estio!"
Fueling the fire, who almost threw a spear at the person who broke in, managed to change direction.
Crazy!
The window that had been retrieved by force hit the floor. The hard marble floor cracked and splashed debris everywhere. Even after breaking the stone floor, the color of the person's hair was reflected in the smooth blue spear blade that didn't leave a single flaw.
it was black
"It's dangerous! What if you jump in suddenly!"
Then, a crying white-haired monkey appeared. Yeon-yeon Rang couldn't hide her growing annoyance and wrinkled her expression.
"Why are you here?"
"......"
"greenhorn."
Estio was blocking the way. With his bare body without a sword, he faced Birang without changing a single expression even though the spear was slashed down right in front of his nose and the floor was harpooned.
The ballista guild members, who noticed the situation only after hearing the sudden loud noise, looked back with a surprised expression. He didn't even know that his neck was almost blown off. When they shut their mouths, the whole building became silent.
The eyes of the ballista guild members broke the floor and headed towards the deep blue window. The spear blade that split the floor like cutting tofu was still buzzing, and magical energy was drifting through it.
Even though it was a large and heavy blade for a delicate girl to lift, Birang retrieved it like a toy.
"Oh my God, it's a 'Battle Mage'."
Someone mumbled like a moan.
There are rare people in the world who are born with more than one ability. This ability itself occupies a low proportion of the original population, and far fewer people are born with multiple talents at once. It was roughly equivalent to the probability of having twins.
Yeon Yeon-rang was a 'battle mage' who was born with both the talent to handle magic and the physical ability to strengthen.
A wizard who wields a weapon with strong stamina and fights melee!
He was the most demanding class on the battlefield. The battle mage envelops the weapon with magical power and strengthens it. In that way, the destructive power is greatly increased, and there is no need to worry about damaging the weapon in any way. Not only that, but even while they were fighting together, they activated small-scale magic from time to time.
It was a difficult opponent for the warriors.
"You obviously said you refused to move as a team?"
Birang glared at Estio with sullen eyes. It was a nuance that Estio recklessly insisted on joining the team.
Estio, who was suddenly treated as a stalker who followed her to the capital to recruit a team member, was silent for a moment. He was speechless at the thought of being ridiculous.
Oh my.
Instead, the black cat standing on Estio's toes cried angrily.
Only Parker, not knowing what had happened between the two of them, looked at him anxiously.
"You were a while ago."
In the chilly air, Estio raised her hand.
"I tried to kill that man."
"Ugh?!"
José Marc, the man who had been nominated for him, swallowed his breath. His confident face when he spoke the truth at the counter turned pale in front of the strong.
On the other hand, Birang agreed with an annoyed expression.
"that's right."
I had no intention of saving it from the beginning. Yeon-yeon-rang tried to kill those five people who broke into the guild building and caused a commotion.
There were two types of Birang's hand.
First of all, it's not human. If it is not human, it kills everything in sight without distinction.
And among people, those who are classified as enemies. By her standards, the Ballista people who broke into the guild building were enemies.
Guild buildings are unique to the guild. If you harm an ordinary person, you will be punished, but if the person who broke into the guild building is a member of another guild, the situation is different. The country was not involved in the fight between the guild forces.
"Move out, we need to get rid of the intruder."
However, no matter how bad you feel, you must not harm the same guild member. Birang kept his iron rules well. Even though she didn't like Estio, she was a member of the same guild, so she looked after her.
However, Estio did not step away from his seat.
"It's just a matter of quietly sending it back."
"If you die, you'll be quieter sooner."
"Are they so wrong that they die?"
"You're polluting the guild."
Birang's beige eyes frowned.
"Someone is trash that needs to go out and get rid of it. I'm not going to tell you to do it, so get out of the way, coward."
"Hey girl, are you serious about what I'm talking about?"
But the answer came from another place.
The members of the Ballista Guild, who were called trash by Birang, were approaching with an angry expression.
"The treatment of customers of a guild called the best of the empire would be so bad!"
"Sheesh! It's dirty, so let's go!"
"I came here to put in a quest because I was really in a hurry, and I have no intention of fighting them."
José Marc, who had taken the lead and led his men, stood tall. It was just an intersection passing through Birang.
"If you don't remove this unfortunate spear right now, we'll draw the sword."
José gave a soft warning. Suddenly, a sharp spear blade reached his neck. He even showed a little bit of red blood in his skin. If he had taken one more step forward, his neck would have been pierced.
The members of the Ballista Guild who followed him raised their arms in unison.
Estio said to Birang in an instant situation.
"Put down your weapons."
"Ha! You're not even a master, you dare give orders."
Birang didn't growl and shut his mouth. Somehow, her hand was empty.
She turned her head in amazement. She turned behind her back with a spear covered with blue magic, and she was floating round and round. The Battle Mage deals with her magical powers, so she won't drop her weapon on the floor even if she releases it from her hand. Like a creature with an ego, the spear automatically returns to its designated location and waits for its master's call.
Only after looking into the empty palms did Virang realize. The fact that she let her spear out of her hand against her own will.
'What happened?'
It was like being possessed by a ghost. While Bi Rang couldn't understand her behavior and frowned, the ballista guild members looked at Estio.
"Um? A newcomer I met in Rainville!"
Jose was the first to recognize him. He also didn't forget that he hurriedly looked around, wondering if he was with the tiger. The members of the Ballista Guild breathed a sigh of relief, not thinking that the giant black tiger would only turn into a cat.
"tt, do you always live by hearing nonsense like that?"
"It's not good to be treated either."
"Because you have to get out of the guild as soon as possible."
They did not know that they had been rescued from the crisis a while ago and were truly sorry. But there was no room for further concern.
Wrath!
It was because he created a cutlass with the magical power of the rain and rushed at him. Two daggers split the air, but they were blocked by Neju's claws, making a visor sound. Yeon-yeon-rang, whose purpose was to be a threat anyway, asked Neju and Cutlass with a ferocious gaze.
"What did you just do to me?"
Estio's eyes were just calm. The dark blue light in it was like a frozen ice sheet and like a calm sea.
"You, I guess your ability... wasn't just 'reading'?"
Rather, it was Yeon-yeon-rang that started to shake.
The rumors circulating about the recently selected <Ignis Guild Leader> were very vague. This is because Estio had just joined the guild, and he never showed off his abilities noticeably while carrying out his quest. What's more, his powers weren't conspicuous.
So, Birang had only heard rumors that he was 'a person with the ability to read minds'.
'You mean not just reading, but even manipulating the mind? Is that possible?'
It's ridiculous. No matter how great a wizard or a rare magician, it was impossible. It is not an area that humans can handle in the first place.
Reaching the conclusion, Yeon-yeon-rang said with a sense of disgust that spread like flames.
"You're not human."
And that was a familiar reaction to Estio. It was uncomfortable at the same time.
Every time I was confirmed in this way, my heart ached. It felt like you were pushed out of bounds because you were different from other people, and that you couldn't be the same no matter how hard you tried.
Even after learning that they were of a different race, the throbbing pain did not go away and remained like thorns. Because there are no more of his kind in this world.
'The Yellow Dragon Shuhanan.'
Except for him who is classified as an enemy.
Birang, who accepted Estio's silence as a positive, embraced life.
If you were not a human, there was no need to hesitate. When Jose saw the girl's eyes that had turned away, he was panicked and shouted at Estio.
"Hey, hey, be careful...!"
The water snake that had removed the cutlass from Neju's claws rushed towards Estio in an instant like a water snake creeping through a swamp. It was an all-out blow. Neju couldn't even react this time because the movement was so quick.
It was the moment when the soaring blade changed its direction in an instant and aimed at the heart.
Kwagak!
"Ouch."
A black sword appeared from nowhere and cut Birang's Cutlass like a piece of paper. Cutlass, which had been cut without a pulse, scattered static electricity and oxidized into light and disappeared.
The black sword that had passed after breaking the Cutlass flew further and pierced the counter wall.
Yeonjunang, whose magical power had been forcibly released and had become bare, chewed his lips and glared at the interferer. A young man who had thrown his scabbard without pulling out his sword was walking in through the open door.
"Let's go that far, daring girl."
"you are......."
The new intruder was a young man with dark hair just like Estio. He walked in leisurely and blocked Estio's front.
"I think I'd be really angry if I did even one wound to this person."
The man who murmured like that then even winked with a frown.
"Are you scared when you get angry?"
"......"
"......"
For the first time, everyone in the guild lobby made the same expression.
'It's a handsome tora!'
He looked really good-looking, but what he was doing was very dubious. It has been a long time since the staff who were guarding the counter as only customers who could not afford to keep coming in were hardened like stones.
Yeon Yeon-rang looked down at her empty hands, then turned her head to look at the black sword stuck in the wall.
'Strong.'
A cold sweat broke out in response to the warning from instinct.
He didn't swing his sword, he threw it and hit the cutlass she was holding. It just wasn't something she could do with good power. Yeon-yeon-rang had just noticed all of her movements by that man.
In addition, the fact that the weapon wrapped in magical power was destroyed and lost its shape meant that he had more power than the fuel economy.
Yeon-yeon-rang, who has already become empty-handed for the second time today, clenched her fists in contempt.
