40 39. Curse




 
All hands, hold on for dear life!

""Ha!"

 It's not good. I don't know how long this will hold up for me, but it won't hold up for any of us.

"Lieutenant Commander. You guys can hold the magical barrier by yourselves.

I can certainly do that, but could it be the Commander?

'I'll distract them and we'll hold out until His Majesty activates the Advanced Magical Barrier.

 I'm not good enough for those two. I've got to get rid of the other magic sword bearers somehow.

I understand. I wish you good luck.

Yeah, just take care of it.

 I step out of the barrier.

''Oh, what's up with the Lord Commander of the Magic Division coming out? Perhaps you'll let me cut it off?

No, he's here to make me bleed!

No way. I'm here to take you guys down. Volcanic Arrow!

 I unleash my fire magic Volcanic Arrow on the magic sword holders. I don't want to use magic in the city, but it can't be helped. Flaming arrows close in on the magic swordsmen, and they explode. I set off a number of these arrows. And when the cloud of dust disappears, what comes out is

'Koloskolos, Koloskolos, Koloskolos, Koloskolos, Koloskolos, Koloskolos, Koloskolos, Koloskolos, Koloskolos, Koloskolos!

 I'm afraid it's more than that. He's hurt, but he's harmless.

How about this? Earth Magic Earth Hall, Fire Magic Flame Burst!

 I'll build an earthen wall around the magic sword-bearers, trapping them in. The moment it closes, I'll unleash a flame burst of fire magic. With this, there should be no escape. A roaring sound roars inside the earth hole.

 The earth hole collapses. Then

Ghee.........

 They're alive, but their limbs are blown off and they can't move. What about them?

Huh, that worked. I'm not very good at magic, but I'm pretty good at strengthening my body. I'm pretty sure I survived that.

 No way! It's amazing how much physical training alone can prevent that.

Do you mind if I take a look around?

 Huh? Then, from behind me.

Dark Magic Shadowlord. I will have your blood!

 A vampire comes out of the shadows and closes in.

''d*mn! Wind Magic Windwall!

 I would activate the wind barrier around me.

Well, yay!

 The slasher is coming at us.

Magical barrier!

 Clang!

 I managed to prevent it, but I couldn't bear it, and I was blown away.

'Caaaaah!'

 I'm being flown to a store somewhere.

 d*mn, I have to get back on top of things quickly.

Here we go. Darkness Claw.

 The vampire strikes with his right hand, which grants him dark magic.

''Light Magic Shining Spear!''

Sweet!

 f*ck! My light magic is blocked by my right hand and I am struck away with it.

''Ugh!''

 Hahaha, this isn't good....

''Commander!

 I can't just die with everyone watching.

Hey, Grandma. Time to let me do it.

What are you talking about? I am the one who drinks the blood.

 So says the vampire who grabs me by the neck.

"Shall I see your face before I drink your blood? Let's see........

 Yuck! How many people know about this? You and Gain and a few others.

No, stop! Stop!

 Chattering!

 Oh, my cloak has been torn off and

Hmm? What, you have a curse, don't you?

Hmm? What's that?

Take a look at his eyes. Normally, both eyes should be the same color, but this guy's right eye is blue and the left eye is red. Sometimes there are people like this guy who have one eye that is a different color from the other.
 Such a fellow is said to have a curse, and people avoid him because he's cursed, saying he has a different color. The king of this country is a drunkard. The king of this country is a drunkard. It's true that he has a good physique, so is he a night owl?

You! Don't insult His Majesty!

 I try to unleash my magic.

Oh, shut up.

Ugh!

 I'm going to get kicked in the stomach.

"Look at you. The moment they found out that you are cursed, their faces changed. That's the extent of your faith in me.

 I look at the group members and I knew it.... They all look away from me, saying it doesn't matter. It's the same here. No, His Majesty picked up that even I have talent like this. Even Gain didn't care and came to me to teach me magic.

I don't even want to drink. "I don't feel like drinking anymore, so I'm giving it to you, slasher.

Oh, yeah? I don't care about curses. Give me a good scream, Commander!

 Saying that, the slasher raises his sword. I meditate. Then.

Boy, I wouldn't be so quick to give up.

'Yes, it's not over yet!

 Ding! Ding!

 Something passes by me.

 I open my eyes and there it is.

Come on, get up. Come on, Merlin's little girl. I'm not done with you yet.

I will help in any way I can. Let's do our best, Master Wizard.

 Sickzar-sama and Ray-kun were standing there.

 

 After finishing my contract with Marilyn, I was running to the gate with the headmaster.

''Boy, from now on, you can call me Master.

Are you a master?

Yeah, you're going to be an apprentice of Alexia's.

Understood, Master!

Yeah, that's a good answer. Well, let's get out of here, shall we?

 We were headed to the gate and there he was.

Dear Mr. Sixthall! You've come to the rescue!

 I think it's a magical order.

Yes, we're all safe inside the palace now. And where is Merlin's little girl?

 That's right. There must be a Wizard Commander Merlin here. If he's here, this place won't fall so easily.

''Well, that's...''

What is it? Say it now!

'We are currently engaged with a slasher and a vampire. We have been charged with the magical barrier between them.

 Are you fighting alone? There must be quite a few people with magic swords.

Okay. Where are they?

It's just the first line up ahead.

 When we went to the first group, there they were.

Nah!

 There was a collapsed Commander Merlin, with a man and a little girl surrounding him.

''This isn't good.

'Yes! We've got to help him soon!

No. Look at your face, little girl.

 Master Merlin, please show me the face of the wizard master.

Well, no way.

Yeah, you'll notice.

'Yes, I didn't think the Merlin wizard leader was an elf. It's so beautiful.

 She looks about sixteen years old, with blonde hair that is about shoulder length. Her breasts are about average. He's been wearing a hood up until now, but I couldn't tell, but I knew elves were beautiful? What's so special about the Master and the Merlin Magus Commander?
 When I say that.

 Bassin!

Ouch! Why?

 My mentor patted me on the head.

'That's not the point. The problem is her eyes. 'You guys! Don't tell me you're not going to help me because of this?

 Eyes? I don't know, but when I look into his eyes I see ... oh! Different colors on each side! I think it's called an odd eye. Your right eye is blue and your left eye is red.

What's the deal with the different colors?

You don't know? In this continent, they say that those with different colored eyes are cursed. Well, I've lived for hundreds of years and I think that's a superstition.
 I've been persecuted in many ways for having those eyes, and she herself was kicked out of the elven village and was living alone when I picked her up and brought her here.

 I didn't know you had such a past. But since he was an elf, he must be so good at magic!

So what are you going to do about the boy?

What?

You're going to help him?

'What? I don't know what the question is. On the other hand, is that eye thing a reason not to help?

 I asked my mentor with a straight face.

''Ha, ha, ha, ha! You're right, Ray...! Well, that's no reason not to help them. I'll go then!

Yes!

 Master draws his sword and I raise my spear and start running.

 Oh no! The man swings his sword down at the Merlin Magical Commander. And, Master Speed! It's already there. I'm going to invoke body strengthening too. Master...

Phew!

 I flick the man's sword. I also head to the little girl next to me and cleave the spear off.

"Nuh-uh!

 Oh, I see, we were stopped. But it did separate us from the Merlin Commander.

 And.

Come on, get up. Come on, Merlin's little girl. I'm not done with you yet.

I will help in any way I can. Let's do our best, Master Wizard.

 We're going to take up arms.

 I need you both to help me.

Of course we can!

Yes, my Lord.

 Let's do it.
