How a Genius in the Kingdom of Magic Lives

“How far are you going?”

Garibaldi leisurely pursued the hydra.

The guy who ran with a thump was so big that there was nothing to miss, and crucially, he put a huge barrier around it.

Because it is a huge barrier created by several blood mages, the Hydra cannot escape from it.

There was no problem even if he leisurely pursued it.

Garibaldi thought as he walked.

‘Even if I succeed in controlling him, I won’t be able to use it for a while.’

Hydra domination was a plan he had been thinking about since he was still a prince.

The vampire clan cannot come to the fore because of their pact with humans.

That’s why I thought to shake the humans a little with this hydra.

If you do well, you’ll be able to inflict quite a bit of damage, so it shouldn’t be too bad.

But now things are a little different.

Even if you dominate the hydra, it will take quite a while to heal the damage it suffered.

After that, it was necessary to observe more in order to consolidate the rule.

The plan must then be redone.

“!”

That was the moment.

Garibaldi, who had been moving slowly, suddenly opened his eyes and stopped in place.

The subordinates around him asked with puzzled expressions.

“Road. Why?”

“… robbed.”

“Yes?”

“The Hydra was stolen!”

Garibaldi shouted, kicking off the ground and shooting out.

Without knowing why, his subordinates followed him.

“No, what is that… ?”

However, there was no time to explain it to Garibaldi.

‘how?’

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

Just now, the feeble power of control that had been placed on the Hydra was cut off.

The last thing I felt was that my authority was being transformed by an outside force.

‘Someone stole my authority?’

Does this make sense?

Garibaldi’s eyes flashed, and he moved like a shotgun.

* * *

“done!”

Leo forgot his chest and let out a cheer.

My head rolled involuntarily and I instinctively moved mana, but I robbed the authority of control!

The bowed hydra was huge, but not threatening at all.

Dio and Celise looked at him and opened their mouths in a daze.

“Three, my God… .”

“The magic of degradation is really… . It makes me wonder how this is possible.”

The sight of that monstrous bastard bowing his head in front of Leo was an unbelievable scene.

[Freezing structural formula – full plate mail]

Leo made it into ice armor that covered his body.

Leo shrugged at Selize, who looked at him curiously.

“I’m going to climb on top of that guy, but I’m going to wear some armor because it could be dangerous.”

He unexpectedly dominated Hydra, but that didn’t solve the situation.

This guy must have been beaten by Garibaldi.

There weren’t many people who could push the Hydra this far.

‘Did he find out that I dominated him?’

It’s not just magic, it’s an authority.

Leo could have twisted it because it wasn’t properly hooked up, but the signal must have flowed to him.

It was right to think that you would have known and dealt with it.

‘Controlling this hydra and fighting him… .’

I tried to fight once, but gave up immediately.

Even if he controlled a normal Hydra, he would never be able to defeat Garibaldi in his current state.

Because the Vampire Lord and the 7th Grand Duke of Abyss was much stronger than what is currently known to the human world.

‘I can’t help it. I have no choice but to kill the hydra quickly and bounce.’

As for the purpose of coming to this place in the first place, let’s get rid of Hydra and then run away.

It was the moment I thought so.

– Kwa-kwa-kwa!

From far away, a huge flow of mana was felt.

Leo desperately moved his mana in response to that life-threatening attack.

[Freeze Structural Formula – Triple Shield]

[Waving Ice – Hex Crystal]

In an instant, four layers of defensive magic were created in front of Leo.

Then the bombardment hit him.

– Kwaaang!

“Lowering!”

Celise screamed in surprise.

Leo’s figure, revealed by smoke, was a mess.

“Kuh… . I’m fine.”

All four layers of defensive magic were destroyed, and even the ice armor he was wearing was cracked.

Around Leo, who was struggling to breathe, a silver magic circle emitted weak light.

Frost Breath’s ＜Self-defense＞ was activated.

Fortunately, there were no injuries anywhere.

Leo quickly restored the armor with mana.

After a while, a figure appeared from the forest with the sound of footsteps.

“Self-defense in the freezing structure. I wondered if someone had stolen my authority… Could it be you, King Karst?”

A pale handsome man with red hair appeared with a low voice.

Leo knew who he was.

I only saw it as an illustration, but it was the same as it appeared in real life.

‘… Garibaldi.’

Vampire Load. One of the 7 grand dukes of the Abyss.

Garibaldi.

He looked at Leo with red eyes shaped like a cross.

“maharaja. Why are you here?”

“… … .”

Leo kept his mouth shut.

“Answer me. why are you here Are you violating the agreement?”

“… … .”

As he listened to Garibaldi’s words, Leo’s head raced.

‘What do you mean by that? breach of agreement? Did you mistake me for the great king of karst?’

There’s not a single thing I don’t understand.

Putting aside the fact that King Karst died a whopping 300 years ago, if he was at Garibaldi’s level, he would be able to see Leo’s level at a glance.

How can you mistake a mere 4th class mage for the great king of karst?

Garibaldi stared intently at Leo, then briefly glanced at Celise and Dio behind him, then snorted.

“You hide your power like you did back then. You brought 2 nerds, and even one of them is a vampire? It’s not even funny if the purpose is provocation. It would be a big mistake if you thought that I would get hit by rushing at you like I did when I was a prince.”

Leo desperately shook his head.

Garibaldi’s answer alone tried to figure out the situation.

That he had previously encountered Karst the Great, who hid his power.

And that there was a time when it was broken after being attacked.

Once I knew that fact.

‘What should I say?’

Should I act or bluff?

Leo pondered over several options.

If you take even one wrong step here, it’s the end.

“Anyway, answer my questions. Are you violating the agreement? Is it your personal will? Or belong… .”

Garibaldi stopped talking and shook his head.

“… no. It can’t be.”

Leo’s silver eyes and his red eyes, visible through the helmet, collided in the air for a moment.

Leo strained his eyes so as not to look as frightened as possible.

Garibaldi, who saw that, immediately nodded his head to himself, as if he had understood something.

“Right. Did you think that I was trying to cheat with Hydra as a violation of the agreement, so you came to stop it?”

Leo didn’t want to stay still here, so he nodded slightly.

Garibaldi frowned.

“Even if you say it, you will understand, but that personality is very dirty as it was then and now. Like the ability to take away the Hydra that I was trying to dominate with my authority. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you, but it’s still the same.”

“… … .”

“I know if you don’t want to mix with me. just don’t go away I won’t play tricks on the hydra anymore.”

Garibaldi finished with those words and quickly left again into the woods.

Leo didn’t relax for a while after that.

And by the time I thought a certain amount of time had passed, I sat down.

“Whoa… Whoa… .”

It wasn’t just Leo.

Celise and Dio also had their legs loosened.

They looked in the direction of the forest with tired expressions.

The reverberation of Garibaldi, which still lingered, was oppressing them.

“Go, to survive even after running into Garibaldi-sama… . Unbelievable… . really… really… .”

Dio couldn’t believe this situation and muttered to himself with his arms wrapped around him.

“… Sigh. What the hell is this situation?”

Leo put his forehead on his forehead and stared in the direction beyond the forest where he had disappeared.

-Sabaksabak.

Garibaldi walked through the bush.

Soon, his men appeared around him.

“Road.”

“Have you come?”

“Forgive me for being late.”

The subordinates bowed their heads.

Garibaldi suddenly jumped out on his own, but I couldn’t catch up with him.

“By the way… Did you succeed in controlling the Hydra?”

The subordinates were puzzled when they saw no hydra around them.

I can feel his aura over there, but why is Lord here?

“Get your hands off the hydra.”

“… Yes?”

“Did you not hear?”

“Oh, no. I got it.”

When Garibaldi glanced at him, his subordinate frightened him and lowered his head again.

Without further explanation, Garibaldi moved into the woods.

He was quite complicated.

The subordinates followed Garibaldi quietly.

As the closest aide cautiously joined him, Garibaldi spat out the words.

“I heard there is a Karst Great.”

“!! … Is that so.”

“It can’t be that serious. He can’t attack us anyway.”

“I know. But… .”

“Rather, they want us to attack first. Then you will be able to counterattack comfortably.”

Garibaldi smiled twistedly.

“Khehehehe. That irritating personality was still there. He was hiding his power in front of me and pretending to be a 4th class mage. Next to him was a human knight and a trembling vampire.”

“Were there any vampires?”

“yes. It’s probably one of the vampires who ran away during the last road battle. It seems that the great king of Karst has prepared well to provoke me. Seeing how they brought even such idiots.”

The intention was clear.

They would have looked down on them and hoped that Garibaldi would attack them.

But how?

Armor made of ice structure, self-defense.

As long as he had seen the cursed arcane magic, ‘Frost Breath’, Garibaldi had no reason to act rashly.

“Perhaps he thought of me as the me he had seen before. Didn’t I tell you before?”

“Yes. When he was with the former Lord, he happened to meet King Karst, and attacked him for hiding his power… .”

“yes. At that time, I was incensed to see a human or something like that dare to talk casually with Lord. I was going to take care of it a little bit, but on the contrary, it came to the point where I was about to die.”

Garibaldi giggled as if it was funny.

The subordinates bowed their heads even deeper.

“Anyway, keep your hands off the hydra. I think the reason he appeared here was to stop me from controlling the hydra and sending it as a gift to humans as a violation of the agreement. You have to listen.”

Garibaldi’s eyes grew red.

The subordinates bowed their heads.

“I see, Lord!”
