I Became a Madman in the Game

Episode. 46 Draupnir (2)

I took out a handful of mid-level deities.

That alone was enough to bring out the astonishment of the wizards.

A suppressed grunt escaped from their mouths as they witnessed the deity.

“… … .”

Alisa and Pyran were the only ones with calm expressions on their faces.

The other wizards were forced to stand upright with their heads that were about to bow down.

It was the feeling of the nobles that they could not take an attitude of submission to outsiders.

Of course, I had no intention of forcing them to press.

Anyway, temporary surrender.

That was nothing more than violence.

Let’s take a look at the deity without a word, and then the wizards gasped.

And all the bewildered eyes were focused on me.

“I am the saint of the north who worships the only god, Hor. The energy you feel is the power of Hor.”

I looked around the hall calmly.

The bodies of those whose eyes met trembled.

It was as if he was frightened, but also as if he was in awe.

It was rewarding to take the risk and bring out the gyeok.

As magicians are called seekers of the truth, my power, which is closer to the truth than anything else, must have come as a great shock to them.

“A little while ago, Alan… … As the Saint of the South said, any magic alliance that participated in the Plague War has the possibility of conciliation.”

I explained step by step to those with wide open ears.

From here on, a little history was added.

The embers of Hor that spread from Rio Castle, and the Kingdom of Baren, which finally became a religious state.

“The Magic Alliance defeated the darkness together with the kingdom of Baren. In the process, Hor helped them.”

Even though they may not have become believers, members of the Magic Alliance will not be able to deny the existence of God itself.

Those who sprouted heresy must have already been burned by the Heretic Judge.

“Brother Alan. Are all the words of Confucius true?”

Alan nodded at Pyran’s question.

Huh-

Surprised sighs erupted from everywhere.

but.

Not everything was easy.

There are some truths that are hard to accept in the world, so I was that kind of person to those who lived their entire lives without knowing God.

Faces closer to shock than disbelief.

How long will it take for them to completely trust me?

Also, how desperate should I be?

‘I don’t have time to wait until then. The trigger has already been pulled.’

From somewhere, a disgusting aura pierced my back bone.

Bafel must have started to act when he felt that I had taken out his godhead.

I cast my gaze at Alyssa.

“In order to stop those who worship the wrong thing, you, the opponents, must serve the right god. But it will be difficult to trust him right now.”

Alisa was speechless.

I just sat there with sunken eyes.

“Hor warned of the seriousness of this situation. Therefore, I would like to pass on the blessing of Hor first to you.”

It was a completely different situation from Baren.

At that time, if I tried to believe with the faith I received from the people involved, now I was willing to step forward and give strength.

“Gaho means… … ?”

At the cautious Pyran’s question, I put my hands together.

A light burst from my body along with a murmur of “Horsi”.

It filled the conference hall and soon attached itself to the wands of each wizard.

“I will share the light wherever necessary to prepare for war, including barding and barriers.”

A truly unconventional proposal.

If each of them were outstanding wizards, they would have noticed, albeit vaguely, the utility of my light.

It was then.

“It’s hard to trust Prince Richard!”

A young wizard stood up from his chair and shouted.

The eyes looking at me were full of vigilance.

“Aren’t you a descendant of Battenberg, the ruling family of the North Continent? The actions of Confucius now appear to be nothing but an attempt to promote discord between the hostile Marx family and the Southern Continent.”

I knew his name

John Domitian.

He was a young genius with a promising future.

John’s bold remark made the other wizards look uncomfortable.

But no one could stop him.

Even though everyone pretended not to, I sympathized with them.

‘As expected, this happens.’

The birth of Battenberg’s lineage caught my ankle.

Even if he was Alan’s friend, it seemed difficult to truly trust him as long as I was Battenberg.

“Even though I know what my sister has been through at her home… … !”

Alan growled in an angry tone.

I raised my hand and held him back.

Then he opened his mouth to the wizards including John.

“This is your first priority.”

“What do you mean?”

“Even you see this situation as a confrontation between Marx and his hostile forces, what about the third party’s view of Laplace?”

Like David attacking Goliath, he would have regarded it as merely rebelling against Marx.

But that wasn’t the case.

The premise was completely wrong.

It was difficult to follow the perception of rebellion in the external gaze toward this country.

“Who is righteous and who is evil. You have to define it clearly and then stand up.”

An all-out war between Laplace and Marx cannot be established.

Gathering other forces is a near-essential task.

To do so, a clear justification was necessary.

“Horgyo wants to stop the seeds of disaster. This is the cry that Laplace should make known to the continent.”

It was only right that justice should be expressed in order to gather allies to help David.

If such an ideology was firmly established on the battlefield, then he could consider supporting the Holy Kingdom of Baren.

It would be a battle between Horgyo and Heresy.

“Um… … .”

Wizards had a very complex shape in their heads.

“I guess I need some time to organize my thoughts.”

At that time, Alisa, who had been silent, declared the end of the meeting.

It was hard to fathom her intentions with her gaze, which did not leave me.

◈ ◈ ◈

“If you feel offended, I will apologize on your behalf. It was a situation where everyone had to be on edge, so please forgive me.”

The next day, when I arrived at the lakeside, Alyssa spoke up to me.

He said he would apologize instead for misinterpreting my sincerity to prevent a war.

“Oh, that’s fine. Actually, it made sense.”

I waved my hand.

Of course, I would be lying if I said I wasn’t offended.

‘I said I would gladly share even bloody faith.’

But wasn’t it worse in Baren’s case?

The scene where Marquis Trantis talked about me behind my back with all his heart and soul still lingered.

“Initially pioneers are reviled at first.”

When I joked that it was nothing, Alyssa smiled.

“I know you didn’t lie.”

“Is there anyone who can deceive Master?”

“… … It should be surprising to say that Horgyo or the youngest is a saint, but it is more shocking than the condition of the father.”

She muttered in a complex tone, then hardened her expression and continued.

“The reason I didn’t defend you and the youngest is because I am the King of Laplace. The mandate to accept religion is something I can’t easily nod my head to.”

Same reason as Baren.

As long as he was the leader of a country, it was not easy to decide anything.

I nodded.

“Well, for now, let’s start training.”

Shaking her head to freshen up the atmosphere, she spread her palms.

keying, keying-

He could hear the ring of his heart spinning, and the mana around him fluctuated.

In an instant, dozens of spells were created and occupied the lake.

No matter how many times I watched it, it was a sight that made my tongue go out by itself.

‘No matter how 1-circle magic is, isn’t it too easy?’

Casting aside, those smooth magic trajectories were unheard of.

Watching the skill of the distant state, the fighting spirit flared up.

It was a time when they continued to struggle against each other by shooting magic for a long time.

sigh.

Pain rose from the stigma on the back of the hand.

“ah.”

Have you already reached this area?

He raised his head and opened his eyes wide.

I felt something flying at a menacing speed from the edge of the sky.

“Do you know anyone?”

Alyssa also raised her wand, perhaps feeling someone approaching.

“Yeah, what… … .”

“Hmm, you look awkward. If you don’t want to, you can set up a barrier in the royal capital to block it.”

“no. it’s okay.”

I’m not Balak who dares to go back quietly after seeing the barrier blocking my path.

There was no need to think about what kind of reaction Laplace, who was already nervous, would take.

Sure enough, bustling signs continued in the castle that noticed his approach.

“Master. Please calm down the mages first.”

The timing didn’t seem so good, but whatever the case, Balak was an excellent teammate.

I caught my breath as I disturbed the revolving ring.

◈ ◈ ◈

“Richard, Inum! The Master has arrived!”

It’s been a long time since I’ve been flying in the air for several days and nights.

Balak was finally able to see his one and only disciple.

However, some wizards tried to interrupt the long-awaited reunion.

It seemed that the seething magic power would pour down on Balak at any moment.

“dare!”

It was just when he was about to burst into a roar, having pulled out six stars at once.

“Calm down, Master.”

Richard rode on a white shining star and greeted Balak.

However, those eyes were unusual.

“You came earlier than expected. I thought you’d be late to find me around the time you got the sixth star.”

The voice sarcastic at the teacher was as cold as ice.

Balak licked his lips.

If I had to make an excuse, I could have done it.

‘What am I supposed to do when I see that you’ve grown at an abnormal speed!’

Originally, they had promised to meet again when they dealt with the four stars.

Ballack estimated it to take about a year.

However, this scary disciple got four stars at once one day.

‘It must have been against a mighty enemy.’

The throbbing stigma that was about to fall off was such a fuss.

Ballack was very fond of Richard, who had grown greatly in adversity.

His eyes weren’t wrong, so he burst into madness.

but.

He had something to deal with urgently, so he postponed the meeting with his disciple, and finally came to the current situation.

“Disciple, what kind of teacher are you looking for in the kingdom of the Southern Continent? Where else can I find a teacher like me?”

“after… … .”

Richard sighed and lowered his gaze.

At the end of his gaze stood a woman wearing a crown.

‘The King of Laplace?’

Balak’s heart raced.

The jewel he had barely found in his later years could not be taken away with his eyes open.
