42 – Tragedy at the Polar Pole

Lecia’s sword and Charybdis clashed once again.

Charybdis charged first.

The demon dragon spread its dozens of wings wide and faced Resia.

Lesia was able to avoid it, but prepared to block with her sword to protect the group behind her.

Boom!

The power of the demon dragon that pushes fiercely is beyond imagination.

The force that pushes the body and compresses the entire body is literally that of a monster.

But Lesia gathered the strength in her legs and held on.

As a result, she fell behind her, dragging the ground, but was eventually able to stop the demon dragon’s charge.

After winning her battle of strength, Lesia readjusted her stance and prepared to stab her demon dragon.

Holding her sword with both hands, she quickly turned around and embedded it into the crystal on the demon dragon’s back.

Then, make a large circular cut with her upper part.

The most basic techniques of the Zweihender sword technique are stabbing and cutting.

Lesia learned this from her benefactor and repeated it hundreds or thousands of times.

Therefore, her sophisticated techniques go beyond mechanical techniques and reach the level of art.

“!!!!!!!”

Charybdis, who had been struck by the force, let out a scream from what seemed to be a hundred small mouths.

And tears are flowing from what seems to be two hundred eyeballs.

The appearance was so grotesque that an ordinary person would faint if they saw it, but Lecia saw it as nothing more than the ugly struggles of a monster.

“……”

Lesia silently approached the monster.

Prepare to deliver a blow to end the one who is crying loudly.

She looked at Charybdis with cold eyes.

“!!!”

The demon dragon quickly spread his wings and tried to escape, but it was impossible.

Lesia had already cut off the dozens of wings he had.

The demon dragon used the remaining tentacles to target the group behind him, but it was impossible.

The tentacles that fell behind Resia had already been cut by the blade and could not reach her companions.

Charybdis tried to escape by dragging his tail, but it was impossible.

No matter how light his body becomes, realistically, there is no way his heavy body can be dragged by just a few tails.

“!!!!!!!”

Charybdis prepared his final struggle.

He opens his huge maw at the very center of his body and draws in the darkness.

And, he prepares his breath so that he can release it at any time.

“It’s getting a bit annoying.”

Lecia also raised her sword against him.

Bluish holy power is flowing from her sword.

An imminent situation where you don’t know who will hit first.

First, Charybdis’ breath burst out.

“The moonlight created by our father will open the path, and all we have to do is walk along that path.”

Breath, darker than the shadows of a circus tent, approaches, staining everything in darkness.

Lesia also cut in a circular motion with the sword containing her holy power.

The sword strike containing the shimmering moonlight cuts through the darkness and charges.

The moonlight created by Resia shone brighter than the breath of darkness created by Charybdis.

The moonlight, which drove away the thick darkness, cleared away the shadows.

Lesia finally let Charybdis breathe.

“…It’s over.”

Shurer spoke the flag-like line, but the demon dragon did not come back to life.

The fallen Charybdis simply collapses and flows into the shadows again.

[Hwiyu~ That’s amazing~ It was an ambitious masterpiece, but you guys, no, you handled it well by yourself!]

Recooks’ voice was heard from across the hallway.

Rekooks was talking to his companions while hiding in the dark.

“Young people should show their faces and talk without being rude! Don’t come out right away!”

[Why me? If I go out, I can clearly see that the saintess over there will chop me up into small pieces. Do you think I will go out?]

Temiel, who was very angry at Recooks for showing the spider earlier, shouted at him, but Recooks ignored Temiel in a condescending manner.

“…Tell me what you came for.”

[Oh, that’s right! I didn’t just come to praise you, I had something to convey to you! As expected, wise man! [You can immediately recognize things I forgot~]

“…Shut your mouth.”

[Be fierce! I’ve praised you at best, but you’re saying too much! hahahaha, anyway!]

Recooks appropriately provoked the great sage, who was recalling bad memories while facing Charybdis, and began to talk.

[As I said before, my masterpiece didn’t work as well as I expected and ended up leaving. What’s wrong~? Thanks to this, my magic power has been reduced to a level where it is difficult to even maintain a shadow… ]

[That’s why I’m going to use all my magic to give you one last great show!]

Tap!

The sound of snapping fingers filled the hallway.

And starting from that sound, the darkness in the hallway began to boil.

[The last horror-themed show is called! ‘That was the scariest time… ‘ No see!]

“What do you mean? That’s the scariest time!”

[I will literally show you the most feared moment of your life using this shadow!]

“So, please tell me what nonsense that is!”

[Mr. Temiel, spoilers are not very good~ I don’t know what I’m talking about… Come and experience it yourself!]

The boiling shadows caught the party’s ankles.

And then it slowly crawled up and tried to devour their bodies.

Lesia raised her sword to consider the shadow, but she was unable to cast a shadow that was not affected by the physical power of the sword.

[I hope you have a good nightmare for a while… Giggle!]

After Recooks’ evil voice, the entire group was swallowed up by the shadows.

***

It was a very cold day.

There was frost on the windows of the commercial building, the wind blowing past my cheeks was so cold, and the mice were hiding in tunnels to avoid the cold.

It was a day when inorganic cold struck the city.

Lesia was lying down in the alley behind her in her tattered clothes on that cold winter day.

In her eyes, she saw a dark sky.

The sky visible through the alley was so narrow that it was very dark, making it difficult for even the moonlight to illuminate the area.

Some people might feel hopeless or sad when they look at the black sky, but it was difficult for Lesia to feel any emotion.

She didn’t know exactly what to feel.

Lesia’s emotions have been ruined since ‘that day’.

So she just stared blankly at the narrow sky, waiting for her moment to die.

***

The cold of the North is a very vulnerable environment for humans to live in, but the nomads of the North had a very special power.

Magic power that controls ice and a very powerful body.

Those two powers not only enabled the nomads to live in the harsh conditions of the harsh cold, but also made other countries fear them with their extremely powerful power.

The Empire was no exception.

The Eldrim Empire was afraid that the power of the northern nomads might target them at any time, and established a forum for negotiation with them and concluded a peace treaty.

The northern peoples did not preemptively attack the empire, but peace was maintained between them by teaching ‘wisdom’ to the nomads, who were almost barbarians, at the Magic Tower, the culmination of the empire’s technology.

Lesia was born to a northern nomad couple.

Her family was just harmonious, without any problems, and was very peaceful.

Before ‘that day’.

That day was the day when nomads had to pack their bags to move to a new home.

A Russian family was also moving to a new home, loading their belongings into a sleigh driven by wolves.

She had been traveling for a while, and when night came, Lesia heard her parents talking while they were resting.

“Hmm… Recently, there are rumors that young compatriots are being kidnapped from the Magic Tower.”

“Really? Isn’t that a clear violation of the treaty?”

“It’s clear if there’s evidence. However, it’s not possible to catch a pod because it always happens that young compatriots get lost in the snowy mountains.”

“I’m scared… Will they take our Resia too…?”

“No, if it’s Lesia, I’ll protect it, so don’t worry.”

At that time, Lesia was not very impressed by the conversation between the two people.

Not only was it not a topic that a child who had just turned 10 would be interested in, but she was very reassured by the presence of her confident father, so she thought she would never be caught by wizards.

Yes, she thought, to her complacency.

Just the next day after the news of her kidnapping came out, wizards attacked the Resia family’s sleigh.

They caused a blizzard and drove away their families and compatriots.

Her parents were killed using magic.

Her mother was stabbed with an ice pick in a sudden attack.

While trying to protect Lesia, her father was knocked down from a high snowy mountain by a gust of wind caused by wind magic.

“Its magical and physical abilities are abnormally strong. I can even feel its holy power.”

“You rescued a good guy. Arrest this guy immediately!”

Holding her dying mother in her arms, as she shed tears, her wizards kidnapped her by tying her to her restraint sphere.

The young girl was helpless and unable to escape from them, and was so shocked that she lost consciousness.
