55 – The Knights

‘Breathing is constant.’

Looking closely at the fallen White, Ashera narrowed her eyes.

‘Is it just exhaustion from consuming too much mana?’

If it’s natural, should I say it’s natural?

No matter how much he is still in the 8th circle, Afar is also a member of the 12 demon kings and a strong one who is expected to rise to the rank of great mage someday.

Against such a man, White won a clean victory.

Nevertheless, if her mana was still intact, that would be even more strange.

‘…… And.’

Ashera frowned once.

What she remembers is that it was her last moment during the battle between her own disciple and her gray demon lord.

‘The Mirror of Reflection… ….’

A strange color began to appear above her eyes.

At the last moment, when Afar’s unique magic, the Ashen Oath, was directly hit and White was in danger.

She almost ran out without realizing it.

Just to kill Afar, who, feeling her sanity cut off, swung her sword at his apprentice.

…… However.

In that moment, it was none other than White who held Ashera’s reason.

Caught in her ashen oath, she must have felt the full sense that her own mana was being absorbed into Afar.

He just raised the corners of his mouth.

‘I thought I could be aiming for something, but… ….’

Ashera’s gaze turned to White, who leaned her gracefully on her own shoulder and took her shallow breath.

‘It’s a magic that perfectly destroys Afar’s unique magic, which is considered to be the highest in the 8th circle.’

…… How could such a thing be possible?

Ashera’s eyes were stained with doubt.

The emotion that was born at the same time was surprise.

‘Her disciple’s mana also drained the most at that moment.’

It must have been a spell that was so powerful and extremely difficult.

Even when she saw it with her own eyes, it was definitely not magic that White, who stayed in the 7th Circle, could use.

How can I not be suspicious?

How can I not be curious?

At her current point, what she prioritizes above all else is her pupil White.

Since her second was a secret that the disciple, White, was hiding.

‘…… What the hell happened, did he come back as a monster like this?’

Fishik-

Ashera let out a shallow laugh.

“Disciple, disciple. I really feel sorry for you, my disciple.”

Muttering in a mischievous voice, Ashera nudged the cheek of White, who was hanging her body weakly.

For once, White frowned, but luckily he didn’t seem to wake up.

And seeing White like that, Ashera’s smile grew even thicker.

“… ….”

…… To be honest, I didn’t even have the feeling of wanting to interrogate this one and only disciple right now.

But.

How can I do that?

‘Because I said I’d tell you.’

Ashera quietly raised the corners of her mouth.

She tilted her head slightly towards her white head, which was resting on her own shoulder, with her little forlorn eye smile.

Took-

A small crash echoed, and White’s eyes trembled slightly.

She knew that she hadn’t woken up, so she just smiled at her.

Ashera quietly began to close her eyes.

‘…… I don’t know when she’ll tell me when.’

No, although she honestly didn’t seem to be calculating the exact timing for her own disciple either.

Still, her precious disciple was not someone who would lie about things like this.

Because I believe in you.

Because she was the only disciple whom she trusted more than anyone else in the world.

I don’t know if I’ll inflate my cheeks out of embarrassment, or sometimes a switch will turn on to harass me.

Perhaps she herself won’t be the first to question.

“…… Is it so.”

Muttering in her small voice, Ashera glanced at her white with only one eye slightly open.

Yes, it will.

She will not interrogate himself first.

For her one and only disciple to speak first, she herself would just wait.

That’s probably the truth that won’t change unless some kind of upheaval happens.

…… And.

And.

“…… Such a ‘pretty upheaval’ would mean something.”

Slowly, but clearly.

Ashera’s eyes began to flash with a dangerous light.

At the same time, there is also a hint of concern somewhere.

With those contradictory eyes shining once.

“… ….”

Ashera slowly began to harden her expression.

‘…… When she decided that it was impossible for her disciple to hold the secret alone anymore.’

When he could no longer endure his own bitterness and hatred, and tried to turn her steps on her wrong path.

If that moment ever comes, she won’t be able to just sit by and watch it.

“…… So, please tell me before it is too late.”

One time, she let out a gentle smile with a bittersweet expression.

Cautiously, Ashera held White’s white hand.

Pure white hands with no calluses that have not changed at all from when they were young.

But if there is a slight difference, it will be in the size.

‘Because he grew up so handsomely before he knew it… ….’

She carefully rolled her big hands inside her hands, enough to cover all of her own tiny hands.

Ashera raised the corners of her mouth and gently blushed her cheeks.

For what reason?

She didn’t seem to know exactly what caused it, though.

…… At least roughly, it wasn’t because I couldn’t guess.

“…… If there was a girl in love, would it be like this?”

Ashera laughs a bit self-deprecatingly.

She carefully raised White’s body to his feet.

Still White hadn’t woken up, she was just wheezing her shallow breaths.

And since Ashera’s eyes staring at White like that, a strange light began to appear.

From noble mtl dot com

‘…… Ah.’

How did this happen?

That was my first thought.

But soon, the thought that it didn’t matter what kind of questions came to dominate my head.

“…… Disciple, White.”

Ashera quietly put the name of his own disciple in her mouth.

And within.

‘…… Wouldn’t it be fine if it was just a little?’

Having some dangerous thoughts inside.

Ashera slowly leaned toward White with a wicked smile.

As if she would keep moving towards her destination without stopping.

After a while, she slowly closed her eyes.

“… ….”

In the end, she reached the point where she kissed White on the forehead, albeit slightly.

“…… Ha.”

What was Ashera’s thoughts as she slowly separated her body from White and sighed slightly excitedly?

‘I can’t, I can’t stand it.’

A bit precarious, such a strange idea.

Her golden eyes slowly began to flash with a dangerous look.

Instantly, the place where her gaze was directed was none other than White’s lips, which were emitting a shallow red light.

“…… The disciple was wrong.”

While muttering something like that, I don’t know what it meant.

Ashera is about to kiss herself on the lips of her White, who has lost her mind and passed out.

…… Right then.

Chang, Chae Chae Chae Chae Chae!

“… ….”

In an instant, with an unpleasant noise like metal being interlocked, countless knights surrounded the two as if they were surrounded.

“Reveal your identity.”

And a man stepped forward with a heavy gait.

It was a man wearing knight’s armor and wearing the crest of the Marquis of Lyikanter on one chest.

Probably the knights of the Marquis of Lyikanter, among them a man who sat in a high position.

And those surrounding it must all be knights of the Lyicanter family.

No one can help but feel tension in this situation.

“If you don’t want to reveal your identity.”

…… Yes, that would be the obvious truth.

“From now on, I will ask you guys for the crimes you committed against the Lyikanter family and take them to court.”

“… ….”

…… At least, that’s what William, the vice-captain of the Knights of Reicanter, thought.

At most two boys and girls.

Although she is presumed to be a high-level wizard, one side seemed to have exhausted her mana and fell into a state of exhaustion.

Even if that level is the top of the mage level that has reached the 7th circle.

I wouldn’t even be able to react properly to the knights of the proud Marquis Lycanter.

At least William thought so sincerely.

“…… Under.”

…… Okay.

At least, until the girl on the other side of the two wizards let out an absurd laugh.

“…… What’s funny?”

William’s eyes were stained with anger.

Wouldn’t that be worth it?

I couldn’t figure out the reason or the exact starting point.

The two wizards in front of him right now were clearly terrorists who destroyed the Lyikanter family mansion in half.

As a man who swore true allegiance to the Marquis of Lyikanter. He won’t be able to get over it without getting angry.

…… But.

“…… I could have come a little later.”

Because I wasn’t the only one who was truly feeling the anger.

“Why is it that he appeared at such a timing and made a fuss? Knights of the Lycanter family.”

Ashera, the girl, raised the corners of her mouth coldly, her golden eyes tinted with calm anger.

And then, with the still unconscious White carefully laid on the ground.

Ashera carefully stood up from her seat.

“I don’t have any ill feelings. Both to you and to the Marquis of Lyicanter.”

“…… What are you saying.”

“But.”

Cutting off William’s question as if he was dumbfounded, Ashera began drawing bright blue mana into her hands.

The emotion that soon emerged in her eyes was a clear light of resentment.

“…… Under. Why, really. By appearing at a timing like this, are you sabotaging me and my pupil’s important moment?”

Ashera starts to spit out curse words.

Slowly, her tone was getting harsher.

Perhaps, if her apprentice, White, had been conscious, she would have been tearing up in a cold sweat and telling the knights of Lii Canter Hu to cut off her sword.

…… Unfortunately, the knights of Lycanter didn’t have the ability to read her emotions.

“…… Hit it.”

Towards Ashera, who was just raising her mana, William spat that out, assuming that she had hostile intentions.

“Yes!”

The knights of the Lyikanter family began emitting auras at Ashera without the slightest hesitation.

“… ….”

Ashera directed her inorganic eyes towards them, who seemed to be trying to subdue them by cutting off at least one or two limbs.

Yes, those pupils.

Emotionless, but at the same time ironically tinged with anger.

It seemed like it would be impossible to really get along with, and the eyes were full of conflicting emotions.

“I need you to vent my anger for a moment. Knights.”

Ashera ended her words with a truly radiant smile.

Right after that, the mana she held in her hands began to fluctuate with explosive force.

The reason she didn’t pull out her wand was as a minimal deterrent to avoid inflicting lethal damage on them.

How can I know that?

Right now, the knights of Lii Canter are the only ones who met her for the first time.

“It may be at least 6 circles, or 7 circles. Be vigilant and firmly subdue!”

“… ….”

Ashera stared at William, standing in the back and shouting in a dignified voice.

“…… Ahahahaha.”

Instantly, a truly bright smile appeared on her lips.

The very next moment.

Quaaagh!

With a roar that seemed to rip open the eardrums, the Lyikanter family’s mansion had to be destroyed, even the least intact parts.
