Chapter 298
“What is it?”
Seeing Carl\'s sudden attack, the emperor showed a slight bewilderment.
Come to think of it, what was the emperor\'s name?
I think Aren said it in passing the other day....
Ah, I think he said Elian.
“Leave this! Isn\'t that person rude to Taesa? As a disciple, how could I just watch this scene!”
“You must leave and see! You have to leave it unconditionally and see it!!!”
“What are you talking about! Carls! If you don\'t let go of this right away, even you won\'t stay still!”
“You better not leave me alone! no just kill me!!!”
Carls bit Elian and pulled him to the end.
However, despite Carl\'s dissuade, Elian was unmoved.
“Didn’t you say Vicky!!!”
Kwak Kwa Kwak!
In an instant, Elian\'s whole body exploded with tremendous momentum.
Carls held on to Elian until the end, but
in the end, he couldn\'t stand the momentum and flew away and got stuck.
< Oh. The level is better than I thought? >
The mentor\'s voice mixed with admiration came from Elian\'s momentum.
Mentor was watching Elian with slightly surprised eyes.
< Compared to most beginners at our academy, you\'re not inferior at all? > Seo-joon
nodded his head at the mentor\'s evaluation that followed.
The emperor was a being called the ruler of the dimension, and
of course it was known that the level would be excellent.
Above all, since he was Seo-jun, who had personally seen Vettel\'s level, he thought that the emperor would be higher than him.
So, as a rule of thumb, I\'m at the level of taking advanced lectures.
Or, I was thinking of it to the level that I was already taking an advanced lecture.
However, the Emperor Elian he faced exceeded his expectations.
It is a level that has almost mastered beyond the advanced lecture already taken.
To put it simply, even if you call him a first-time student, he is not lacking at all and can be said to be a first-time student who is quite close to the transcendent.
‘They said he was Aren\'s disciple...\'
Seojun could feel pure admiration.
“From Taesa to Carls! I don\'t know what you did, but...”
Elian shook off Carl\'s and calmly looked at Seo-jun.
There was a strange anger in Elian\'s eyes.
In harmony with Elian\'s own dreamy atmosphere, I literally felt a strange anger.
“It won’t work for me.”
Elian stretched his right hand out to the side.
At the same time, purple magic power exploded.
Right then.
Aren, who was worse off, took a step forward and shouted.
“Elian. calm down. This person—”
but.
Parbat!
Elian didn\'t want to listen to Aren\'s words, and Elian\'s model disappeared in an instant.
At the same time, the eerie momentum was felt by Seo-joon\'s senses.
Tension that makes your skin tingle.
Elian\'s ability to be close to the Transcendentalist was enough to make Seo-joon nervous at first glance.
but.
Whoops!
It was only close enough.
It was still far from reaching transcendence.
Of course, Seo-joon had only regained 15% of his strength.
However, Seojun\'s 15% was not just 15%.
Ever since the concept of transcendence was established.
The only transcendent with a difference in rank among transcendents.
Even with the same 15%, there was an absolute difference between Seojun\'s 15%.
“......!”
Between the flying silver hair, Elian\'s eyes widened.
It\'s like I didn\'t know how to stop this.
It looked like he didn\'t know how to react to his attack.
But that\'s for a while.
“Still, you seem to have talents that aren’t equal.”
Elian further exploded the purple magic in his hand.
Paper weave!
Then, the purple magic that was blocked by Longinus\' spear began to flow through the spear.
Eventually, the mana began to eat away at Seo-jun\'s body.
‘It\'s over.\'
Elian was sure.
The magic power that now engulfed Seo-jun\'s entire body.
It was because it was a type of mental magic, and it belonged to the highest level of things that Elian could perform.
As you can see, he seemed to be quite capable at such a young age.
He probably grew up hearing geniuses here and there.
But he didn\'t seem to know that it was a really odd feat.
This was generally a characteristic of those who listened to the sound of genius.
I could tell just by looking at Carls.
Talented people know they are always the best.
Wasn\'t he also like that until he met Aren?
Such people are mentally weak.
Those who always know that they are the best.
When such people face the sky above the sky, they feel that their talent, which they thought was excellent, is nothing but mere humbleness, and despair as it is... “What is it?
”
Startle!
Elian\'s body froze at the absurd tone he heard in an instant.
where I looked at it slowly.
There, Seojun is really ‘what is it?\' He was looking at Elian with that expression.
“What nonsense?”
Elian couldn\'t believe the current situation at all.
That\'s also the mind magic you just cast.
It was the highest level of mental sorcery based on the emotional rage of existence.
Even Elian himself was at a level that could not be easily assured if he was hit by that mental spell.
But now what...!
Are you pretending to be okay?
“What is it?”
However, Seo-jun showed no sign of acting at all!
“......!!!!!”
Elian\'s eyes could not open wide enough to explode.
Meanwhile.
Seojun could feel the strange energy flowing through Longinus\' spear.
Do you still have any thoughts?
There was no living in momentum, but this was a little dangerous.
That\'s when I was trying to get rid of this energy.
I had the illusion that I heard Shakyamuni\'s voice saying
[... what is this?] .
“What?”
Seo-jun lost his mind for a moment, and so the witchcraft penetrated Seo-jun\'s mind.
and.
[What a pitiful middle school student...]
Shakyamuni\'s one word that followed made the magic run out of control!
Of course, it wasn\'t the voice that the real Shakyamuni uttered.
It was just that he felt as if he had heard Sakyamuni\'s voice from somewhere.
And the mental magic that Elian expelled.
At first glance, it seemed like a spell based on anger....
Hwaaaaaagh.
One word from Shakyamuni turned into benevolent magic!
even.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
I don\'t know if it\'s because of that, but the power of sin inherent in Seo-joon started to react.
The power absorbed from none other than the twisted being, the
power of anger, the Seven Deadly Sins of man.
It was the power of sin that he regained as he regained 15% of his power.
Wrath (Ira) burst into furious rage at the infiltrated witchcraft.
It\'s like, ‘What is this bastard? Do you dare to act like you in a spirit that I can\'t do anything about? It seemed like he was shouting, ‘This is going to turn around...\'.
Under the pressure of such anger (Ira), the witchcraft could not even make a sound.
If Elian\'s spiritual power was derived from anger,
Seo-jun\'s inherent power was anger (Ira) itself.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Anger (Ira) became very angry at the imitations that had infiltrated her territory and began to run amok.
And Shakyamuni who watched such anger (Ira).
[Anger and hatred are different. Sometimes there is mercy in anger. Parents get angry when their children do something dangerous. However, how can this be called hate? Because I love you. Therefore, mercy is included in appropriate anger...]
and allowed the rampage of anger (Ira)!
It seemed to be biased somewhere...
but anyway.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Anger (Ira) swallows up the infiltrated counterfeit anger and is not enough to create this counterfeit.
It began to infiltrate Elian\'s mind.
“Hehehe...!”
Elian felt quite embarrassed by the rage (Ira) that consumed his mind.
Elian hurriedly drew his magic to protect his mind.
but.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
It was not enough to stop the power of rampaging rage.
This... This is different.
It\'s not just a derived power, it\'s like reaching the source...!
“Quaaaaaagh!”
dump.
Elian couldn\'t overcome the power of anger (Ira) and finally lost his mind.
turn it off ok.
Anger (Ira) seems to have been satisfied only then.
I returned to the spirit of Seo-jun as if it were my home again.
In the end, Elian went crazy alone and collapsed by himself.
“...... What?”
< ...... What is it? >
Seo-joon and the mentor were so ridiculous that they ascended to heaven for the first time in a while.
“Your Majesty!!!”
Carls hurriedly approached Elian and checked Elian\'s condition.
Fortunately, he passed out due to being consumed by anger, but there was no abnormality elsewhere.
“That\'s why I told you not to fold!”
Carls reprimanded Elian and let out a deep sigh.
And Aren\'s words continued.
“I’m sorry, Seojun Kim. Elian is usually cool-headed and rational, but when it comes to me, he doesn\'t care.”
Aren continued with a sigh like Carls.
“I should have dried it up, but I’m really sorry.”
“You didn’t actively stop it for something like that, did you?”
Of course, Elian made a sudden start, but
it wasn\'t to the extent that Aren couldn\'t react.
Then Aren said with a look that he was caught.
“Well... Even if I say it a hundred times, it\'s not as good as being hurt once. Did Kim Seo-joon-nim say this is worth seeing at first sight?”
At the same time, Aren gave a small smile.
Judging by the contents of the letter of recommendation, it seemed that it was written that way considering Elian\'s tendency in the first place.
More than that, where did you get those things from?
Seojun shook his head.
“by the way.”
Seojun straightened his sight again and said to Aren.
The question was interrupted by the sudden appearance of Elian.
It was a question of how none other than Aren knew the story of the first transcendent.
As if Aren understood Seo-jun\'s intentions, he did not give an answer easily.
Just looking at his expression, it was clear that he was worried.
Seo-joon waited for Aren and such a long time passed.
“Is it okay if I tell you about that later? It\'s not hard to say, but... I\'m afraid you\'ll create prejudice.”
Aren finally made the choice to avoid the answer.
Um...
“If so.”
Seojun nodded his head indifferently.
Of course, there was no change in Aren\'s circumstances.
But literally just curious.
Because it wasn\'t important enough to know.
Above all, there are secrets that you want to hide from anyone.
And it wasn\'t that he wouldn\'t tell me, but that he would tell me later, so it was strange to bother asking here.
The most important thing for Seo-jun right now is to regain his strength and collect the cause and effect to return to Earth.
And in the process, Aren\'s help was absolutely necessary.
It would be difficult for Seo-joon if he went wrong with Aren.
“Thank you for your understanding.”
Aren expressed his deep gratitude to Seo-joon\'s words.
Seojun slightly waved his hand and changed the topic.
“Rather than that… You found Elian-nim sooner, didn’t you?”
Aren nodded and replied.
“Elian also left various clues in his own way. It was easy to find.”
At the same time, Aren showed the clues he had discovered one by one.
At the same time, he explained one by one....
To be honest, I didn\'t listen.
The fact that I found it was important, but the process was not particularly important.
That\'s how the rough explanation ends.
“So what happened?”
Seo-joon asked about the situation related to him.
The circumstances of Elian, who went missing after going to subjugate none other than Beserk.
Aren paused for a moment before slowly opening his mouth.
“That\'s... As I said before, I found Seo-Jun Kim as soon as I returned to my residence after looking for Elian. I\'ll have to listen to Elian to find out the details...”
Eventually, Aren\'s gaze turned to one side.
A gaze that followed naturally.
There, Elian could be seen scattered on the floor.
“Ah...”
Seojun couldn\'t help but laugh awkwardly.
In the end, there is nothing to do until Elian wakes up.
I don\'t know, but it was going to take quite a while because I was in rage (Ira).
“First of all, I think we need to do some research on things related to this staff used by the first Transcendentalist.”
Aren changed his plan as if he had no choice.
However, Seo-joon clapped his palms together as if everything went well.
“Ah, then would it be okay if I went to the Empire for a while?
It was none other than to receive the money he had promised with Vettel.
First of all, Carl\'s tutoring expenses.
At 50 billion gold per hour, it was an enormous amount of money, equivalent to about 500 trillion won.
‘If I count the time I taught Carls...\'
Even if I couldn\'t do it, it seemed like a thousand trillion pops.
In addition, Vettel offered up to 100 billion gold per case.
clearing the dark forest.
And...
“Is it okay if I take Elian-nim?”
“That doesn\'t matter... Then Kim Seo-joon-nim should hear from Elian himself. I think you can tell me when you come back.”
Then all of a sudden
“But why are you doing that?”
Aren asked Seo-jun as if he was curious.
“I want to claim damages.”
“yes? Compensation?”
Aren tilted his head for a moment.
However, he nodded quickly, probably remembering what Elian had done to Seo-joon.
however.
“What kind of damage did you receive?”
“Uh...”
Aren\'s words made Seo-joon panic for a moment.
That\'s because there was no damage at all!
Seojun couldn\'t come up with anything to say.
Then Seo-joon shouted at the sudden thought.
“That spirit!”
“Are you crazy?”
“Your mind! Yes! I am thinking of claiming compensation for mental damage.”
tilt.
Aren tilted his head as if he still couldn\'t understand.
Only.
“I am...! Didn\'t I rather tell you to kill me, Your Majesty!”
Only Carl\'s screams mixed with screams resonated emptyly.
#
Vettel couldn\'t believe the current situation.
It was because of reports related to none other than that crazy stranger... no, bastard.
“Now… are you telling me to believe this?”
Vettel looked at Cedric with cold eyes.
Vettel\'s aide, Cedric.
Cedric didn\'t know how to explain this report now.
That would be the case, too, the report that Cedric held out.
In that report, it was written that the entire Dark Forest was almost destroyed...
no, it was almost destroyed...
no, it was just changed.
Again, Vettel didn\'t believe it.
what was natural
Even Cedric himself couldn\'t believe it.
That would be the case, what kind of place is the forest of darkness?
It was the worst and worst space that even the empire infested with monsters did not dare to do anything about.
So, this is not the intention to give money in the first place.
And it was a condition set out in the hope that Seo-joon would die there if he ever tried.
But what?
Turning the dark forest upside down?
It made no sense.
It didn\'t even make sense.
But...
Sarak.
Every report he turned over proved to be true.
And as the expression of change is accurate.
The monsters living in the dark forest were almost completely dried up.
Even the process took only a few days!
Of course, monsters are periodically born in the Dark Forest.
As long as you don\'t push the dark forest itself.
It was not possible to completely eliminate the demonic beasts protruding from this place.
But for the time being... no, for a while...
“......”
No, probably, in this lifetime, there would be no headaches caused by the dark forest.
“And the stranger asked me to call the nobles because he had something to say.”
At Cedric\'s report that followed, Vettel bit his teeth.
How dare a stranger tell the nobles of the empire to come and go.
Of course, it was an absurd request, and
that\'s why it was a request that was not worth listening to.
“Therefore, His Highness Carls hurriedly gathered at the conference hall...”
However, Crown Prince Carls was actively supporting such a stranger.
Although Carls had no real power, the crown prince was still the crown prince.
Vettel had to answer the prince\'s call.
He was a prince who walked around with strangers...
Anyway, he couldn\'t be a stupid prince.
“...... egg plant.”
Vettel let go of her anger and headed for the conference room.
