120 – A Day of the Sword

The Crown Prince of the Magic Kingdom, Carl Von Ajdahaka.

“Hmm.”

His daily life could be described as monotonous.

Wake up in the morning, use mana lightly, and have a tea time with a clear mind.

After that, he finishes his duties as crown prince, and devotes the rest of his time to training to raise his level of magic.

That day was no different from any other.

To put it bluntly, if sleeping in a little late is different, can it be said that it is different?

“My body feels sore for no reason.”

Tapping him gently on the shoulder, Carl stood up from the bed.

A bright light came through the window, and at the same time, Carl had a faint smile on his lips.

Sunlight is good.

His bright brilliance always cleared up his own troubled mind.

Just like today, nothing was different.

As I slowly moved to the window, the sword moved mana.

Ugh-

Golden mana began to rise like a haze.

Then Carl slowly closed his eyes.

It was part of the training method handed down in the royal family of Ajidhaka.

As soon as he wakes up, he uses mana and transfers it to his whole body.

Surely, the mind becomes clearer and the movement of mana becomes smoother.

“…… Whoa.”

How much time has passed since then?

It probably didn’t take long, but Carl’s whole body was wet with sweat.

It was enough to make him feel uncomfortable, but Carl’s expression was calm.

On the contrary, he seems to be feeling refreshed to some extent.

“Today is a beautiful day.”

Muttering, Carl looked out the window.

Let’s wait for a while.

I tried to turn around and leave the bedroom as usual.

“…… ?”

Karl had no choice but to stop the body that was about to turn momentarily.

…… Something came into view

At the same time, a strange sign was detected.

Karl’s head bent upward.

“…… Her?”

And he could see.

…… It looked like a very small dot, but it was clearly two different ‘something’ that took on the shape of a person.

From noble mtl dot com

“…… Intruder?”

That was the word that naturally came to mind.

If you think about it a little deeper, you would have wondered if any magician would openly invade the capital of the kingdom of magic, but at least the current sword was embarrassed and could not continue such an accident.

And that was the moment.

Wheein-

“…… ?”

At the unusual mechanical sound coming from all sides of him, Carl had no choice but to turn his head naturally, even though he was aware of its identity.

A turret caught my eye.

I saw a turret that was ferociously concentrating mana and turning its muzzle toward one place.

“…… Ah.”

Karl gave out a puzzled voice.

The turret works.

What that meant was that the crystal of sorcery technology would soon emit fire.

“That’s right.”

A voice that could not hide its bitterness came out.

Karl’s gaze moved to the sky again.

…… I don’t know who those two beings are.

It could be a magician from the kingdom of magic, and if not, the possibility that he is truly an intruder cannot be ruled out.

But what is clear is that the end they will soon face is clear.

Sorrow passed over Carl’s expression, even for a moment.

…… If you have one or two active turrets, you might be able to move and block them right now.

Whether it was the authority as a crown prince or the power as a 7th circle mage.

However, the situation was not so optimistic.

All the turrets inside the capital to slay the enemies have been moved.

That must mean that the turrets recognized the beings in the sky as a threatening enemy.

“…… That life will be lost without even time for judgment.”

Karl let out a faint voice.

He was one of the mages most deeply involved in developing the turret right now.

So, I knew.

The power of the turrets and the intensity of the flames they emit.

“These are unknown intruders, but I can’t help but feel sorry for them.”

Muttering that, the knife slowly began to rise into the air.

It was a simple flying magic, and at the same time, what Carl wanted to do was simple.

“Let’s take care of the corpses. Maybe they are innocent people…….”

Of course, Carl knew that the possibility was extremely low.

Considering the current situation on the continent and various factors, those two beings must be close to intruders.

Probably not with good intentions.

If you wanted to enter the city with good intentions, you wouldn’t have confidently responded to the checkpoint at the city wall.

If they didn’t do that, it would mean that they were no different from potential enemies of the Sorcery Kingdom.

One of the reasons the sword moved was to determine their identity.

Do you know?

Those two beings could be servants of the 12 Demon Lords.

Ugh-

Lightly generating golden mana, the sword threw itself out the window.

And it was at the same time.

“…… !”

Kwagwagwagwagwagwang!

As the turrets spewed fire, the sky above the city was engulfed in distant flames.

Naturally, Carl’s eyebrows furrowed.

“…… I must have died.”

His voice was relatively calm.

Unless the turret wasn’t working yet, I would have to say that there’s almost no chance they’ll survive as long as they’ve already been hit directly by the turret.

Yes, unless they are magicians of the 8th circle or higher.

“If it’s not him, if it’s the Marquis of Lyikanter of the Empire, it might be worth your life.”

If he is said to be the strongest swordsman in the empire, he won’t die even if he gets hit by a volley of fire from the turret.

…… Of course, the great damage would not be avoided.

“Is this a useless idea?”

Shaking his head lightly, Carl let out a shallow sigh.

What kind of 8th Circle class wizard would openly try to invade the capital of the Kingdom of Sorcery?

Unless you are one of the 12 demon lords, you won’t be able to commit such a bold act.

Even if the intruder’s identity is the Empire’s Duke of Qliphort, he wouldn’t be able to just let it go as long as he’s openly tried to infiltrate the capital of another country like this.

It will intensify into a diplomatic problem of unusual size.

“Whoa.”

Another sigh.

Soon, the knife slowly began to run through the air.

Because when you die, even if you die, you have to figure out that person’s identity.

As the Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Darkness, it was a natural thing to do.

So, just like that, Carl was roughly estimating where the remains of the intruders might remain.

Ugh-

“…… What?”

It was at that moment that the turret emitted an alien mechanical sound again.

Karl’s head hurriedly turned to the back.

“Huh… ….”

As ever, the turret was still in operation.

And what that meant was clear.

This time I move my eyes upward.

Over the city.

…… To be precise, where the two intruders would have been.

And then, I could see the knife.

The masterpiece created by the kingdom of sorcery, the crystallization of sorcery engineering technology.

In spite of being hit head-on by the bombardment from the turret, the intruders are still intact.

“…… ?”

But at that point, Carl’s expression gradually changed to a curious one.

Doubts and doubts come out of your eyes.

…… It had to be.

“…… No, wait.”

I don’t know why, because the intruders’ faces were very familiar.

It was still blurry, but it was the appearance of those who knew clearly.

“…… Why are you guys here?”

Karl muttered with a very embarrassed expression.

Hoo-wook-

“…… !”

It was right after that.

“Your Highness! Are you all right!”

At the urgent voice coming from behind, Carl’s head turned slightly.

Still, his expression was stained with bewilderment.

“…… Leader.”

“Yes, it is me!”

Carl lowered his voice, and a middle-aged man appeared from behind him and hurriedly nodded his head.

The man’s true identity was the leader of the royal magician corps.

In addition to being one of the best wizards in the Kingdom of Darkness, he was also the great wizard of the 8th circle.

Karl’s gaze naturally moved to the back of the captain.

Beep beep.

A cold sweat broke out.

Numerous wizards were flying into the air holding their staffs.

They too had seen the turrets in action, and that’s why they showed up armed in a hurry.

…… However, that doesn’t mean Carl should be in a cold sweat.

The reason Carl was in trouble was not elsewhere.

‘…… A boy, and even a girl who was his teacher.’

Karl’s head turned again.

Now the distance is quite close, so I was able to confirm it.

A boy with blonde hair and a girl with black hair.

What should I do about this situation?

Worrying about that, Carl was in the middle of staring blankly into space.

Ugh-

“Oh wait…… !”

Despite Cal’s restraint, the turrets silently began to pursue their own raison d’être.

Exclusion of intruders.

Perhaps because of one failure, the amount of mana collected by the turrets increased even further.

“Please step back, Your Highness the Crown Prince.”

And at the same time, the Royal Wizards also moved.

Ugh!

“Intercept!”

With the captain spouting out in a strong tone, countless mages condensed mana into their staffs.

As soon as he witnessed that scene, Carl hurriedly removed his lips.

“Wait, listen to me—”

But, unfortunately, Carl’s voice did not reach them.

Kwagwagwagwagwagwang!

Dozens of high-ranking mages began firing from a distance.

Sparks rose, spray raged, and blades of wind cut through the air.

“…… Oh no.”

Karl touched his forehead.

With a very, very complicated expression.

Whee Oh Oh-

A cool breeze blew.

Slowly, the absence of sight caused by countless magical bombardments returns.

Karl frowned as he confirmed that the light was slowly entering his field of view.

…… It was as expected.

The intruders were fine.

It looked like it hadn’t even suffered any damage, and it was floating in the air calmly.

And, at that point, Carl was able to make eye contact with one of them.

“… ….”

“… ….”

The two of them, White and Carl, cast trembling eyes at each other at the same time.

Right after that, Carl instinctively sensed it.

‘…… You just came in without thinking.’

They met in the not too long past, during the Great War of Empire Magic.

He must have crossed the borders of the city without thinking.

I don’t know what the intention was.

Since we haven’t even had a conversation like this yet, I couldn’t even predict it.

…… However, there was one thing that was clear.

“I’m in trouble… ….”

One way or another, whatever the reason.

The current situation was not so ideal.

“…… No damage at all?”

“How did that happen…… !”

Looking at the members of the wizarding corps, whose eyes widened in astonishment, Carl let out a deep sigh.

…… I couldn’t figure out where to start or how to fix this.
