30 – past_wizard

The demon king’s nephews periodically invaded the continent.

only one Although sometimes only two, the demons were strong enough to drive people into despair.

Eat magic and block weapons. Capturing and torturing people without regard for their willingness to surrender.

I asked about the intention of capturing the weaker devil and attacking him, but what they said was always the same.

‘Because it’s fun.’ Or ‘because the devil ordered it.’

Even though this side took the initiative in his own life and death, the devil’s smiling face as if it were not the same was truly fear itself.

As a wizard, I was the last to join the party to defeat demons and demon lords, so I couldn’t help but feel a little awkward with those guys who had been in danger of life and death for quite a long time.

But that’s it and this is this. There was no difficulty in punishing the demons for personal reasons that the relationship was awkward.

Because I just had to do what I could.

At first, he was summoned all over the continent to destroy the demons that caused chaos and plunder, and went on a journey to save the country.

I, too, was inspired by this woman named Rain Guard-on, who calls herself a warrior but has the power of light… the power of a crusader, and burned my sense of justice.

Although my activities were different from those of Rain, Rain, who had the status of a leader and acted at the forefront of the battlefield, was a trustworthy ally and leader.

Even though he is the same age as me, it is safe to say that he is a talented person who is suitable for the central axis.

But that’s when you enter the battle,

In normal life, the man used his strength. I didn’t know that at the time.

theory. A short name that makes my heart race just thinking about it now.

Although his interpersonal skills were weak, he had an unrivaled talent for things like reconnaissance and life, and even though he had such talent, he was a sincere man who was always busy moving without hesitation.

I didn’t notice much at first. Because he didn’t know what he was doing.

The man that Lane made as a teammate first. You must have been through a lot together.

But after looking around a bit, the talent hexagon was far too small for my standards.

I didn’t know how to use magic.

I couldn’t use the holy power.

The way the weapons were handled was also sloppy. Regardless of sword, spear, stick, etc., it was an awkward movement to hold any weapon.

It’s to the point where I don’t know what I’m doing even when I’m in battle. As if you were smoking a nonsense.

He was a little annoyed, but he didn’t say much… No, he didn’t understand the attitude of Rain, Odrox, and Lian, who looked at him saying they believed him.

Aren’t you angry? The guy who doesn’t even show his face properly when he fights or when he sees each other’s work in the village and acts on his own?

It was doubtful whether he had the consciousness of being a colleague.

The ugly hair, once rooted, is not easily removed. I didn’t like him very much.

He defeated all the demons scattered across the continent and headed for the Demon Realm.

I still didn’t recognize Ron as a colleague, and at the party I was still on the outside.

I was a wizard who made a name for myself on the continent even before becoming their ally. He had a talent for magic since he was young, and he was proud of himself because he was actually in a pretty high position for his age. Perhaps that pride and arrogance was the biggest reason.

O’Drox hesitates and looks at me, and Rian avoids my gaze in a cold sweat just by making eye contact with me.

Lane also has a somewhat awkward look.

Of course, since we have no choice but to act together, it’s not like we don’t talk at all, but even so, this atmosphere where the awkwardness is transmitted as it is is a little difficult for me to endure.

Even more so, if such an ambiguous relationship of trust continues in a situation where they now have to leave for the demon realm and embark on an adventure without a promise, even small conflicts will raise their voices.

“Hey.”

So said.

“Why are you whining like a frightened dog?

In the worst way to speak without being arrogant.

Until now, I had never had a long conversation with anyone, let alone my peers.

About 70% of the people who approached me had impure intentions to get something from me, and the other 20% didn’t listen to me and were just busy worshiping me.

“Ah… no, Lord Al Sola, that’s not it…”

Ryan looks away from me and says so. I say no, but who can believe it after seeing that expression?

Odrox is avoiding his gaze at all, and Lane is looking at me while trying to say something to them.

Magic. It is a basic science for the present generation that changes the nature of the magical power within the body and releases it.

However, if the destructive power is outside the standard, it will show a slightly different reaction.

I’ve been a little wary since I first came in, but it wasn’t like now.

But ever since they saw me use magic, after they saw me chant, little by little they started avoiding me.

When I deal with enemies, what I seek is not destruction, but annihilation.

Rather than magic that cuts the body into pieces or pierces a hole, magic that erases the world without leaving ashes would have been enough to make you fearful just by looking at it from the sidelines.

But, at least you, your colleagues, shouldn’t have that kind of reaction, right?

If the battle ends quickly, and no one gets hurt, you guys are fine too.

We should be on equal terms, why are you making that face?

..why do they look at me like a monster?

High pride and arrogance are bent instead of being bent. Even though tears welled up for no reason, I looked at the man who was silent today to hide it.

“Did you say that?”

Your jet-black eyes reflect me with tears in my eyes. After trying to wipe my eyes with my sleeve, I looked at you as you said something incomprehensible.

And you reached out to me An innocent hand touches my chin and touches my head. Soon, he starts stroking my hair here and there with his rough palms.

“..what are you doing..”

“It’s just a compliment to the members who must have had a hard time enduring in such an awkward atmosphere.”

The hand was not very pleasant to the touch because it had calluses on each knuckle, perhaps a trace of holding many tools tightly.

And the people around me were more surprised than me when I touched my head and you when I put my hand on it.

O’Drox opened his eyes wide and looked at me and you, and Lian gasped and began to back away.

I am not a monster.

It’s just the same person, just a colleague.

As a side effect of magic, the growth of the body has stopped, but the kind of person who gets annoyed or cries when it is difficult and laughs when it is fun.

A colleague who cries when he can’t save someone and laughs when he joins forces to overcome adversity.

“..put your hands away.”

But then I cut off your hand.

It seems like they treat me not as a colleague, but as a younger brother, not as an equal relationship, but as if they treat me as someone inferior to me.

It was so selfish that I can understand it even now.

I hated being treated badly.

I hated being ridiculed on the subject of wanting an equal relationship, and I hated seeing me in awe from those who acted with me.

It was a completely self-centered thought, but at that time I thought I was the center even though I wanted a colleague to open up to, and I lived in my pride.

That’s why I didn’t like your hands stroking my hair without fault.

I hated the way he suddenly approached me and smiled, even though I couldn’t see his face properly until now, and he didn’t tell me what he was doing.

“You haven’t cared about me or talked to me until now, so why are you suddenly acting friendly?”

The voice subsides. As if you had expected my reaction, you made those soft eyes into an arc and continued.

“I think you’re having a hard time.”

I didn’t reply to that. I just slapped your hand away and left the room where everyone was gathered.

A strange person with no talent.

I was thinking of you

And because of the reaction I showed to you, later colleagues also seemed to keep a little more distance from me.

I don’t know what you do, but you had a solid bond with your colleagues.

different from me

If it wasn’t for Lane, I might have beaten them all and gone back.

Rain said, ‘Let’s work hard until we defeat the demon king’ or ‘They are also good-natured people’, defending his colleagues and taking care of my mentality.

That’s how we entered Pandemonium in a slightly awkward atmosphere.

As soon as I stepped on it, I frowned at the demonic feeling I felt for a moment. Looking to the side, the other members, including Rain and Lian, who must have had the power of light in their bodies, were showing the same reaction.

We entered the Demon Realm, and even though we just took a single step in that desolate and grotesque space, our minds were suffering great damage.
