93 – Ezerina’s Awakening

Right after I threw myself down the hole.

Along with the feeling of floating all over my body, I sensed that the sister, who looked flustered by , Hurriedly threw herself after me as I was disappearing from sight.

Wheein-!

“Kwaaa!!! Brother!!!”

Mixed with the sound of the strong wind hitting my ears, I could hear Ene’s cries mixed with screams.

When I glanced up at her, I saw Ene with her tears dripping in her eyes, and Ezerina with a stiff expression on her side carrying such a girl by her side.

─Whoa!!!

Before I could tell them it was okay, a headwind blew from under the hole and the fall began to slow down.

After a while, I saw a flat floor with a wind magic circle drawn on it.

From the moment the bottom was visible, the speed of the fall slowed to the point where it was close to stopping, so it landed without much difficulty.

Sisters slowly land after me.

Ezerina, who had awakened Mana, didn’t know, but Ene, an ordinary commoner, was really scared. As soon as her feet touched the ground, her legs collapsed as if her strength was loosened.

“……Lord, I thought I was going to die…”

“I feel like I fell about 500 meters…”

Hee-hee-hee Ene crying and crying, and Ezerina, whose complexion is a little pale.

The moment when the sister, taking a deep breath and controlling her emotions, lifted her head and witnessed the sights around her. Her sister burst into exclamation.

“Wow…!!! It’s so spacious!!!”

“A space this large under Karabog’s living quarters…?”

What came into her sister’s field of view was a very large cavity, similar to a giant modern soccer stadium that can accommodate tens of thousands of people.

On one side of the cavity, a lot of trees were planted that had an excellent function of circulating the air, making the air in the cavity fresh.

Beside it, various types of weapons and armor, potions and elixirs, and other various items were on display.

On the other side, fingernails, claws, hides, bones, horns… etc. The by-products of a wide variety of monsters, exceeding dozens of types, were piled up under the preservation magic.

The [Space Expansion] Magic I inscribed whenever I had time was an artificial cavity created by overlapping countless times.

‘After an hour of constant maintenance a day, it got bigger…. It seems like they’re making a secret base, so they seem a little excited.’

As I became quite proficient in , The sub-space naturally grew enormously, but still, it’s good to have room, so I stuffed everything that was of less value or that I didn’t need right away.

Can we call it a kind of secret base and warehouse?

Most of the rewards obtained from clearing numerous dungeons and the by-products of monsters are here.

Of course, all high-value things are in sub-space.

“Shee it! (Master!)”

At that time, in a corner of the common area, a young white snake approached almost like flying and climbed up onto my shoulder.

“Shh! Shih! (Master! There was nothing wrong with the magic circle!)”

“Well, well done Baek.”

While I was bringing my sisters from the mercenary guild, I was checking dozens of common magics to see if there were any abnormalities.

When I was praising while stroking that white face.

“Those are…!!!”

As soon as you found the by-products of the monsters piled up, you raised her voice and ran quickly, and she soon began examining each one in detail.

“This is a tricolor multi-colored feather! This is the fin of a sea horse! The requirements are a flame hound’s flame bag… Wow! There’s also a wind wyvern’s wing cover…! Besides, these colors and textures…. All are by-products of monsters from dungeons. That’s it…! Sister, look at these! For a merchant, these are just mouth-watering items! How much money can you make with these…! These are slightly damaged items, but this is enough to buy a decent mansion in a big city! I thought crabs piled up like this could only be seen in the warehouse at the top of a large…!”

Ene is talking excitedly with bright eyes and a bright face.

Perhaps his goal was to become a merchant when he grew up, he seemed quite knowledgeable about the value of things.

I thought for a bit, then looked at the girl and opened my mouth.

“Yes. Wouldn’t you like to make a ‘top’ based on these items?”

“Yeah heh…?! My, me…!? The top…!?”

“Yes. Originally, I was planning to sell these to the mercenary guild as a whole…”

“Oh, brother, you absolutely can’t do that! You won’t get half of what you’re worth if you do that…!”

Ene is startling and stopping me.

From noble mtl dot com

As Ene said, the mercenary guild buys all kinds of monster materials in bulk. The advantage is that the transaction is very fast, but…. Considerably reduced in value.

But if you don’t sell materials to the mercenary guild… Because mercenaries and individuals have to go to vendors or merchants one by one, and negotiate, etc., Which is very annoying.

Most of the mercenaries say, ‘I just need to catch one more in time to negotiate!’ There are many cases of just doing business with the mercenary guild.

‘I would have done that if I hadn’t been able to preserve it intact with magic and had no space to store the by-products.’

Even now, if I didn’t have the [Sleep] Gift, even a superman would die from overwork, so there wouldn’t be time for negotiations.

But considering the plans I’ve made, I’m going to need a lot of money going forward.

Even now, the amount of money that can buy a huge mansion is contained in subspace, but it is a much larger amount than this.

“So, handle these at your discretion. I’ll do it for you if it’s a support. You can learn something like negotiations by giving money to a retired merchant.”

“This, these… I…?”

If I leave it to the girl who looks embarrassed on the outside, but looks up at me with blue eyes that are beginning to overflow with anticipation.

Somehow, I felt that the financial problem would be easily resolved.

” …Okay, older brother! I, I will try my best! I will definitely help my brother by making the best guild on the continent!”

A girl looking up at me with eyes blazing with enthusiasm.

I stroked the girl’s hair once to encourage her to work hard, and called Ezerina, who was looking at her sister with happy eyes from a little distance away.

“Ezerina. Take up your weapon and follow me.”

“Yes, Master.”

Her The place where she took her was a large empty lot in the middle of the common area. It was a handmade sparring ground densely engraved with over forty protection magic.

There, me and Ezerina confront each other at a distance of about 10 meters.

Anyone could tell what was going to happen next, and a slight tension was visible on her well-groomed face.

“Ezerina. I told you to improve your skills.”

“…Yes, Master.”

“To do that, I need to know your skills first. That’s why—”

Seureung-

Holding the long sword he had made in ‘Weapon Eater’ in one hand, he pointed the tip of the sword at Ezerina and gave it a flick.

“──Come on with all your might.”

******

Gulp-

‘… Also, Master. There are no gaps at all….’

Ezerina, who was holding her own bottle with both her hands and assumed her battle stance, swallowed the dry saliva in her mouth, admiring her master who was confronting her.

Despite her natural state with her sword hanging comfortably in one hand, her own master, who does not see any gaps in her.

No matter where you dig, all you can think of is the image of being counterattacked.

However, she can’t just keep confronting her like this.

“Whoa…Whoop!”

Grab-!

Exhaling her long breath and shaking off the tension in her body, Ezerina strengthened her entire body by using her magical powers at once, using the footsteps she learned from her own mercenary teacher,

Walking. Using her at once, he was beaten up.

“──Haaa!”

In a situation where she closed the distance of more than ten meters in two steps and came close enough to touch the gap between her swords. Ezerina unleashed a speedy swordsmanship that was so fast that ordinary people couldn’t even admit it.

Shoo-!

Delicate and speedy swordsmanship that draws clean arcs without even the slightest shaking in the air, enough to exude admiration.

It was a speed comparable to that of Zenitz, a high-ranking member of the Demonic Church.

Ezerina, convinced that she was the best blow she could unleash, blew her magic into her own bottle and swung it quickly with her sword blade wrapped around it.

“──It’s soft.”

“Ugh…!?”

─Chae Ae-Aeng!

Looking at the sword forcibly stopped by the ‘thrust that was aimed accurately at the ‘center’ of the slash, he spat out a shocked silence.

Kick-gigg-!

Two swords confronting each other in the air, scattering a noise like an iron plate being scraped violently.

“Great!”

“…….”

Because she was stabbing her sword exactly in the center, even if Ezerina applied strong force, she couldn’t push out Mistil Tane’s sword without much force.

‘Then… !’

Ezerina, who decided that pushing away was unreasonable, quickly retrieved her sword. Stepping on her footsteps, she went back behind Mistiltein and she swung her sword again, but….

“What…!?”

Kakang!

Without even looking at her, she was lightly blocked by Mistel Tane’s sword attack, which only moved her arm and swung it backwards.

“Haaa—!!!”

Ezerina, who bites her teeth at her sword that was blocked too lightly, exerts her rigid body technique and footwork to the extreme, and she runs around in all directions around Mistiltein, using her full power to strike the blade of her quicksword. Poured out a fuss

It’s a bloody attack that even a decent gold-grade mercenary or a C-rank boss can’t resist and is hacked to pieces.

But…

Kakakagagang——!!!!!!

Mistiltane didn’t move a single step in the frenzy of sword attacks, and calmly dealt with it by moving only his right arm holding the sword.

The sight lasted for almost tens of minutes.

“Ha ha… Ha ha…”

After tens of minutes of pouring out her blade with all her might, Ezerina exhaled heavily, trying to open her eyes, which were stinging from the sweat that trickled down her like rain, and opened her front face. Looked at the sight of

There, as if to show how intense Ezerina’s attack was, dozens or even hundreds of her sword scars were engraved in her clearing like a whirlpool.

And what lies at the center of that whirlpool of sword marks——

“…….”

–Unlike Ezerina, who couldn’t even control her body properly, Mistiltein was undisturbed.

Ezerina looked up at such a man with her eyes filled with awe.

A fact she noticed from the first 10 or so sword attacks.

Her power contained in her manly sword, her ‘did not exceed her own strength.’

The speed of her sword wielded by her man, ‘did not exceed her own.’

‘Even if Master uses only the ‘same physical ability’ as mine, I can’t even hit him with one blow… !’

Despite using her same power, her own sword deflects unilaterally.

Even at her same speed, she is forced to block before her own sword can be fully swung.

Even if she manages to wield a sharp sword strike, as if that was a natural reason from the beginning, her sword strike gently drifted into the air.

Overwhelming sword skills that make you shudder.

I felt as if I had an impregnable castle right in front of me.

─Kidduck!

And in the heart of Ezerina, who was confronting such a man head-on, her ‘intense anger’ burned as if her brain would melt.

Even though her master personally matched her physical abilities, she couldn’t even hit a single blow ── anger at her poor swordsmanship.

She couldn’t even move a finger even though she had only used up her power for tens of minutes ── anger at her own weakness.

And her emotions, which account for more than anything else, are ──

——It was anger toward the powerless self who had disappointed its master.

Ezerina felt her master’s calm, lake-like, emotionless eyes as if she were disappointed in herself.

‘Stand up… ! Stand up… ! This f*cking body… !!!’

With strong will, the body that has reached its limit is whipped and forced to rise.

Pud Deuk-!

Ignoring her screaming muscles, I raise the sword that feels like a thousand pounds and aim it in front of her.

“Huh…! Heh…!”

I can’t see the tip of the sword shaking terribly.

The only thing that comes into her sight is her own master who is looking at herself.

“……I’m going.”

Ezerina gathered all of her mana that had hit the floor of her own and rushed forward.

The body, which has already gone beyond its limits and cannot even take a single step, is moving…. Only, longing not to disappoint her own master.

And those blindly pure thoughts——

“This is…!?”

──The seeds of potential that had been dormant within her were ‘bloomed’.

Quaaa!!!

Purdy blue——a pair of wings rising from Ezerina’s back

As soon as the beautiful blue wings made of her magic flutter once…

With the feeling that her entire field of vision turned into lines, her body accelerated in an instant—

“Ah…?”

── By the time she came to her senses, she had already passed her master.

Puss……

The moment she came to her senses. The blue flares protruding from her back turned into small particles and melted into the air.

“Ah…Uh…?!”

Ezerina’s eyesight turned black due to the overwhelming sense of collapse and dizziness caused by the exhaustion of her magical power and the exhaustion of her body beyond its limit.

“──That was great, Ezerina.”

And just before her eyesight completely turned into darkness, the master spoke calmly in praise while wiping the blood from the wound on her cheek——

“Thank you, thank you… Ma, Stu…”

── Ezerina lost her mind with a satisfied smile.
