Chapter 98
Circus
"Erica Tower Master-nim."
"Valdrova Regent-nim."
"Are your internal injuries severe?"
Ferda did not cast his gaze at her.
It was to preserve her dignity as Tower Master.

Erica widened her eyes with force and corrected her posture.
"Not enough to hold me back."

"Understood."
Ferda briefly acknowledged and assessed the opponent's fighting strength.
He saw a large man flapping wyvern wings and a relatively smaller man.
The small man stared at Ferda and spoke.
Е nu m̈ а. і̄.d́
"You are Ferda Rosnova. Nice to meet you."
At the man's words, Ferda corrected him.
"Valdrova."
"You grew up in the Rosnova Family yet you struggle to escape your origin? Unsightly."

The man sneering.
However, Ferda was not a rookie enough to be swayed by such provocation.

"Wolf monsters pouring out in Hestia Village and wyvern monsters here... seeing you command monsters wherever you please, the culprit behind the Halim incident must be you bastards?"
"That's right. Aren't you grateful?"
"Why should I be grateful to you?"
"Didn't you achieve great merit in Halim and even obtain a World Tree branch struck by Reverse Lightning?"
The man casually reciting facts no one else knew.
Ferda provoked without being shaken.

"The sound of a defeated dog masturbating."
"Haha! You say that, so it must be true. It's a fact I underestimated you and your surroundings too much. I fought intending to kill only Chancellor Bernard, yet couldn't even do that."
"Do you plan to target him again?"
"Unfortunately, there's no need. What I wanted to destroy seems to have already fallen into your hands. So rest assured."
"Why would I believe your words?"
"Why? Because I'm already above your head, so there's no need for lies. For instance,"

He swung his mana-infused fingers wide across the ground.
Then a gust rose and the fallen leaves covering the floor were swept up into the sky.

"Even such a shallow trick, you know it yet pretend not to."
The floor cleared and what lay beneath revealed itself.
From beneath Ferda's feet, connected shadows were chanting an incantation.
"A truly pathetic trick."
Е n̊ū m a . ї ď
Snap!
The man flicked his fingers.
Simultaneously, an explosion erupted where the shadow hand had been.
Bang!

The shadow hand shattered and scattered.
"Ugh!"
E nŭ m а
Externally, the power didn't seem fatal, but reality differed.
If it were a real hand, it was destructive enough to tear through mana protection or armor like paper.
"Hooh."
The man showed an interested expression.
"I heard Barbatos's Shadow Arts can be wielded like limbs, but since it borrows the sensation of those limbs intact, the pain is the same as one's own limbs... yet you react not like a hand being severed, but like pulling away from a burn."
The man analyzing Ferda.

Ferda neither replied nor reacted to those words.
Instead, like the man had done, Ferda tried to analyze the magic.
'What magic did he just use?'
Ferda recalled what had happened moments ago.
The explosion that occurred when he flicked his fingers.
No, that wasn't a simple explosion.
Ẅ е̇b̀ n̆.о v̈ е̇l̊ Ė n u m̄а̊
At a glance it looked like an explosion, so it's not an explosion.
'It is...'

Ferda focused on that scene.
Slowing time, tearing it frame by frame, vividly recalling its movement.
'Magic that distorts a point, not an explosion.'
Space warped as if sucked into a single point in mid-air for a split second, then released.
Е̌ ń um̂а̇
'Magic that breaks objects by distorting a point.'
Once clearly explained, Ferda could identify its identity too.
Only one person could wield that magic.
A name erased into a line of history.

"You're Gokma."
Gokma.
W̌ ê b.n̊ о ṽѐ l̇ Еǹ ů m á
At the mention of that name, the man exclaimed in admiration.
"Hooh. You saw through my identity in just that one exchange?"
Even Erica, his ally, was equally surprised.
Naturally she knew he was a Noble-class demon, but hadn't identified him.
That was only natural, because Gokma shouldn't exist.
"If it is, he should've been the first Noble-class killed by the Hero's hand, no?"

The man readily admitted.
"Correct. Back then, demons had no wariness toward humans. So they died futilely to the Hero."
"Then how are you alive?"
"Simple. Back then, there was only you and Erdes, just a Hero overflowing with passion."
Meaning the caution and delicacy mages possess were absent.
Leaving room for resurrection.

"Who would've thought... demons would wait for a future like this."
"Indeed. I didn't particularly want to reveal myself either. But I had no choice."

Gokma's eyes turned toward Ferda.
"Because there's something bothering me."
Bothersome.
Those words meant it should be something that puts one in a bad mood.
Ẅе́ b̊ ñо̆ v́ ӗ l Еn̆ ú m а́
Yet Gokma's mouth was instead twisted upward.
"Do emotions twist when you become a demon? You don't seem to know when to smile."
"Demons feel joy too. Just different from you humans who cling to trivial things."
"Is returning everything to nothingness greatness?"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
At Erica's question, he nodded as if obvious.
"It's His great will, so it's my great joy."

"Then hurry up and disappear to greet the ones who went before."
Crackle!
A streak of light flew toward Gokma.
But it bounced off, unable to penetrate his mana protection.
It was a Lightning Bolt from Ferda's grasp.
"You think you can kill me with that?"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"No. I knew it wouldn't work the moment Tower Master's magic didn't work."
At those words, Erica realized something and turned her head toward Ferda.
"...Were you watching me?"
An expression mixed with resentment asking why he didn't come help sooner.
But Ferda had his reasons.
"You were trying to blow away the whole area, so how could I not assess the situation?"
Ёn̂ um̆а
"Th-that's true, but..."
"Were you in your right mind thinking of blowing away part of the Gongwangnyeong territory?"

At Ruri's grumbling, Erica shut her mouth.
With her serious internal injuries, her emotions were running too high.
"You look spirited having grasped our strength. However..."
With a subtle smile, he said this.
Е.n̈ u mӓ . і́ d
"I don't want to fight you. How about we part ways amicably?"
"This is Gongwangnyeong territory. You run wild then try to run away?"
"Hmm, if so."
He waved his fingers in the air.

"Try blocking this once."
Another space tore open and vomited its contents.
Е n.u m а̃
It was a familiar sight to Ferda.
But the number differed from Halim.
A full 5 rifts occurred here and there, vomiting their contents.
Some turned toward Ferda's party, others turned their bodies toward Hestia Village.
Simultaneously, Gokma and the large man tried to throw themselves into the rifts.
Right now, when even stepping forward was difficult, there's no way to stop their escape.

No, if Ruri moves, it might be possible.
She's the child of a Silver Dragon boasting the greatest speed.
But if Ruri moves, those many monsters will head for Hestia Village.
Doubtful if the people in the village can handle all those monsters.
"Ferda-nim."
Ruri looked up at Ferda.
Е ǹ u m̃ а .і d̂
Those eyes, like she'd clumsily put on a mask, were a face with nowhere to go.
"Go. Protect what your master wants to protect."

"What about Ferda-nim's safety?"
"Don't worry, I'm here."
Though severely injured internally, the Water Ring wrapped around Erica's body didn't waver.
"Understood."
Ẇ е̃ b̄ n̊ ǒ v̈ еl̂ Е́ ṅ u m̂ а
Ruri grabbed her axe and spread her wings.
Thud!
A fierce gust flew unobstructed, covering the monsters heading for Hestia Village.
Silver flashes moved through the forest, leaving only brutally slaughtered corpses where the light passed.

"How long do I need to hold them off?"
"I alone am sufficient."

"Then I'll watch your back."
The opponents are monsters filled only with instinct, having lost reason.
Each strike is threatening. But their attacks are monotonous.
The more monotonous, the easier to see through, and Erica's water droplets easily grasped and pierced vital points.
'Is this Iorga's magic?'
Gentle beyond compare on the outside, but once leaving her hand, harder and more lethal than any metal.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Not simply piercing.
The rotational force carried twisted and burst the body's internals every time it passed a vital point.
Despite facing many, not a shred of waste, everything finished in a single blow.
'Even a monster like this makes Gokma struggle...'
Thinking coldly,
It wasn't that they were let go, but identical to them letting themselves loose.

Like that, the last one charging was also completely cleaned up.
Erica sensed surrounding life once more and confirmed safety.

"Huu..."
And she sat down right there.
No leisure.
"Are you okay?"
Е̊ núm̃ӓ
"No threat to life, but I'll need to concentrate on mana recovery for a few days."
"Can you stand?"
Ferda extended his hand.
"Thank you."

Erica took that hand.
A calloused hand unbefitting a mage.
E n û mа
Erica had touched this man's hand before.
It was then.
Simultaneously, something flowed into Erica's hand.
Erica knew what it was.
The mana that had humiliated her.
"Hyap!"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Erica flinching violently.
She let go of Ferda's hand and sat back down on the floor.
"...Why are you like this?"
Her face flushed bright red.
What do you mean what! The moment you grabbed my hand you tried to leak mana again! You pervert! Trying to do something lewd to me again!!
She wanted to scream but couldn't dare.
Ê nǔ ḿ а̃ .і̌ d̂
Ferda with a face genuinely saying he knows nothing.
She'd definitely be the only fool.

"Cough, ahem! It's nothing. Better to do mana cultivation like this. Please watch the surroundings."
"Understood."
Erica crossed her legs in lotus position and closed her eyes.
The circuits in her body turned, accumulating mana with her heartbeat.

In the darkness left behind a single eyelid, her battle from mere tens of minutes ago surfaced.
'That guy, to think he's Gokma, one of the Demon King's Seven Scars.'
Seven Scars.
Among Noble-class directly below Emperor-class, the top-ranking ones who became Corps Commanders.

Even after exchanging several moves and feeling his mana, she hadn't guessed at all.
She only knew he was Noble-class.
Е nů m̈ а̂
Couldn't be helped.
She was on the defensive; had to focus entirely on combat.
Not enough leisure to even identify him.
But even with such excuses, she found no comfort.
She was once a mage called the 12 Heroes' Wisdom.
She'd already fought the other six Scars and found breakthroughs against them.

'Besides, Ferda Regent realized it in a single exchange.'
While taking a single attack, he identified him.
This wasn't a fact that disappeared by denying it.
'I lost in mana too.'
Though unprepared, victory or defeat was hard to argue.
If Ferda and Ruri hadn't appeared and she faced that man alone, would she have won?
W е́ b̆ ń óv еl̇ Еn̊ um̆а̀
'Damn it.'
She mulled over that frustration internally.

Though she didn't see the end so couldn't know, Erica couldn't overlook the helplessness she felt.
And
'So embarrassing I could die.'
The fact she'd made a fuss alone and screamed was more painful than the twisting pain in her viscera.
Ӗ n um а̀
She bit her lip and pounded her thigh hard with her fist.
'Ugh, idiot. Idiot! Why don't you just die!'
Ferda watched her swallowing her anguish and thought this.
'Her internal injuries must be really severe.'

Shortly after, someone flew here.
Ruri, who'd gone with her fearsome axe, returned.

"All those heading for Hestia Village have been dealt with. They say Hestia Village side is also wrapping up without needing help."
"Good work."
"It's not over yet. Must clean up monster corpses."
"Vernel will like that."
The forest was full of monster corpses.
Green blood and purple flesh gave off an eerie, ominous feeling in nature.

"I'll clean up this area."
The one who spoke was Erica in lotus position.
"There's no need for you to, though."
"There's a lot, and if not cleaned meticulously, places get contaminated, right? That needs magic help. A little more cultivation and I'll have enough mana to clean up."
"Understood. Then I'll leave it to you, Erica-nim."
Just as things seemed to be wrapping up, they didn't.
