#142. Amon Family (2)
The siblings with dark blue hair gave off contrasting vibes.
Even though my younger brother is only in the first circle, he makes up for it with effort and skill.
Also, if you felt energetic.
On the other hand, my older sister is in the second circle, but she doesn’t make good use of her strengths.
Also, it felt extremely calm.
‘… It’s not really an important issue, though.’
Ray ran through the open space without stopping, avoiding the icy road that was pursuing him.
Then I sensed something.
‘magic.’
Two vines of wind flying towards us at a fierce speed.
It was an unavoidable situation.
In normal cases, never.
The movement path is limited by the freezing magic.
Wind magic projectiles are invisible to the eye, making them very difficult to identify.
Also, the element that boasts the second fastest speed in nature after electricity is the wind element.
but.
widely!
Phew─! Phew─!
Ray dodged all the wind vines with just a few movements.
“Hey, you avoided this?”
“How on earth…!”
A startled voice echoed through the empty lot.
Several more wind vines were fired to ensnare the target, but they all narrowly missed Ray.
“Oh, that’s ridiculous!”
“It doesn’t seem like there’s much of an age difference between us…!”
It wasn’t difficult to avoid.
The general belief that wind projectiles are invisible was not true for Ray at all.
The boy’s black eyes.
There, the sky-blue mana that formed the wind vines was clearly visible.
“Hey, hey! He’s gathering mana in his hand!”
“You guys without a ring! You meddlers! What are you doing! Don’t interfere with that! Stop the magic from being completed!”
A mass of blue mana that was growing larger and larger in Ray’s grasp.
Pressure was immediately applied there.
The people who had been waiting were now concentrating their energy on dispersing Ray’s mana.
An act of seizing control over mana and preventing the casting of magic itself.
Commonly known as interference.
It was a technique that wasn’t used much.
The conditions were very strict, as the level had to be much higher than the opponent’s, and there was a risk of mana backlash.
But─
“Just a little more!”
“You can’t use external manifestation magic in front of us!”
─If it was a 5 vs 1 fight, things might have been a little different.
These five people were not ordinary people, as they had been practicing this type of thing a lot on a regular basis and were skilled at interfering with Mana.
Wooooowoooo───!
Managu is shaking as if it might break at any moment.
The enemies smiled in satisfaction.
No matter how skilled the guy is, this can’t be helped.
A situation where a chase is being waged while using strengthening magic.
Because it was practically impossible to have a one-on-many fight for control there.
“I will take you to the teacher!”
“Even if you hold out, you’ll run out of mana first!”
“We even caught a 3rd circle wizard!”
A triumphant voice.
But there was one thing they didn’t know.
as soon as.
Woohoo──!
The fact was that Ray was observing their emotions for a moment and wasn’t paying any attention to Managu.
The moment Ray, who had focused his mind again, shook Managu greatly.
“Cough!”
“Ugh!”
All five people who had been interfering with Managu collapsed, vomiting blood.
Managu, who had regained his freedom, was immediately thrown to the ground.
moment.
Damn it─!
An ice road was created and stretched out.

Since there weren’t many ice elements that could be drawn into the ring, the width of the ice rink was much narrower than the girl’s.
However, its utilization was on a different level.
In an instant, the ice path split into ten branches and began to rush towards each enemy.
‘Is that… possible…?’
The girl’s expressionless eyes shook violently.
Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk──!
The speed was too fast.
Just as I was about to leave the spot, the enemy’s freezing magic arrived at my feet.
Damn!
He had both feet frozen and bound.
I couldn’t move.
“Hey, do something about it!”
“I didn’t learn how to deal with this kind of situation!”
My colleagues also look the same.
The girl kept her lips tightly shut and focused on chasing her opponent down the icy road.
… the damage was not insignificant.
But there was one silver lining.
as soon as.
The fact that the opponent is having a hard time approaching us because they are being chased by freezing magic.
That is, the distance was maintained.
‘That kid, his long-range magic just ended with one use. He can’t attack me anymore.’
It is common sense that as the distance between the caster and the magic increases, the mana required to cast the magic increases exponentially.
Could it be that he was intoxicated by the heat of battle?
The boy made a big mistake.
Because I pushed forward with the freezing magic that already consumes a lot of mana.
‘I even split it into several branches and used it. There won’t be any more mana left for freezing magic.’
We can be sure of this because the ice road froze only both feet and disappeared.
If I had enough mana, I would have definitely frozen my entire body.
Also, considering the intensity of the fight that has been going on so far, the strengthening magic won’t last very long.
The opponent will definitely have one ring.
… a girl who never thought that Ray’s rings could be more than that.
‘The teacher said so.’
Adults, it is said that just building one circle before the age of 18 is a talent of great distinction.
If you succeed in building up to 2 circles beyond that.
That is truly the realm of genius with infinite possibilities.
“Aila. I’ve traveled this land and trained many disciples, but you’re the only one who’s reached the level of the 2nd Circle at your age. You’re unprecedented.”
So, the black-haired boy had to be in Circle 1.
‘If it goes to a war of attrition, I have no choice but to win. No matter how great your skills are, the difference in mana between the 1st and 2nd circles is absolute…?’
It was then that the girl suddenly noticed something strange.
Gulp.
Drops of water were running down the ice that bound his feet.
‘It’s melting…?’
Come to think of it, the ice didn’t feel that cold.
It seemed like the temperature was set not too low from the beginning so that it would melt at body temperature.
When I raised my head, I could see that the ice covering the empty lot had also melted considerably for some reason.
The moment you sense that something is going wrong.
─Quadduk!
The empty lot floor rose up in the shape of pillars, sending the boy who was being chased on the icy road up high into the air.
‘There’s another main element…?’
The girl’s eyes waver once again.
The moment the ice path wrapped around the pillar was about to touch the boy’s feet.
Kuung!
The boy stamped his foot.
The next moment.
What the girl saw was a blinding yellow light.
Phage crackle!
A bolt of electricity shot out from beneath the boy’s feet, racing violently.
Countless ice roads laid out in vacant lots.
Follow the remaining moist moisture on top.
In all directions.
Drawing hundreds of complex and strange lines like an electronic circuit─
Pajijijijijijijiji───!
─Got ahead.
And some of those destinations.
“Whoa!”
“Remember!”
They were enemies whose feet were caught in the wet ice.
The power of the current was controlled so that it was not life-threatening, but it was enough to cause immediate damage that rendered one incapacitated.
A moment of silence fell over the empty lot.
All that remained was the sound of gasping breathing.
“… … .”
Ray looked down at the ice road that had stopped right in front of his feet.
Then jump off the pillar─
Kuung!
─Landed.
The ice that had been lying shattered, scattering debris all around.
Thud. Thud.
Moved towards an unguarded enemy.
The ground was hot and humid due to the large amount of fire elements scattered in all directions during the chase.
“Oh, don’t come!”
“This freak, this monster!”
Pfft─! Pfft─!
Thud! Thud!
The two closest men were struck in the head by Cromwell’s ambassador and fell to the ground.
“Hey, wait a minute! Oh, I asked you earlier if you were the Amon Family! T-That’s right!”
“Oh, you have a question? Let’s talk for a bit…!”
Pfft─! Pfft─!
Thud! Thud!
The dull thud of the impact echoed through the empty space a few more times.
Now there was only one person left.
Thud. Thud.
The girl trembled in fear as she watched the approaching boy.
Thud. Thud.
I shook my head as I looked at the weapon in the hand of the boy who had stopped right in front of me.
“… … .”
“… … .”
A brief exchange of glances.
Ray understood the message the girl was sending.
‘You want to be hit with something other than this? Veronica too, girls are definitely more picky than boys.’
I looked around, but didn’t see any object that would be a good candidate for a stun gun.
All I can do is hit them a little less lightly than the other kids.
Woof─
Ray, who had completely de-metalized the gun beforehand, nodded.
At that moment, a look of relief appeared on the girl’s face.
Phew─!
dump!
A dull thud echoed through the empty lot.
Ray looked at the unconscious girl and thought.
‘I was looking forward to it because it was Circle 2.’
It was a little disappointing.
The reason I ended the fight right away without dragging it out any further was largely because I didn’t think the girl would be able to show anything more interesting magic.
… rather, if you look at it from an interesting perspective.
‘The role distribution and fighting style shown by all of them was more interesting.’
Responsible for close combat and ranged attacks.
There was also a role to interfere with the opponent’s magic.
It seemed quite systematic and familiar.
It’s to the point where you’d think that anyone who wasn’t a wizard with a lot of combat experience would be helpless.
‘I couldn’t tell what he was feeling at that moment, but it doesn’t seem like he was just exaggerating when he said he caught a 3rd circle wizard.’
Ray, who had been lost in thought, quietly removed his lips.
“I’m warning you, if you move your hand now, you’ll die.”
“… … !”
Behind Ray’s back.
The man who had been holding the knife in his hand with a flash felt a chill run down his spine for a moment.
‘How on earth…?’
Although he only had one ring, he was unrivaled in stealth magic thanks to his unique elemental ratio and arduous training.
If you really put your mind to it, you can even deceive your teacher’s perception.
But.
The black-haired kid noticed our presence right away.
Also, the electricity that I thought had died down beneath my feet was suddenly blooming again and writhing.
Crackle! Crackle!
With a much more ferocious momentum than before.
As if it would climb up my ankle at any moment.
Gulp.
…if you move, you die.
Instincts sounded the danger signal.
“Uh, since when?”
I couldn’t finish speaking because of the tension, but there was no major problem in conveying the meaning.
“If you’re asking how long I’ve known about your existence, then from the beginning. They didn’t know. You secretly followed me in and watched me from a corner of the empty lot.”
Ray slowly turned around and took the knife out of his trembling hands.
The knife slowly lowered, passing in front of the man’s fearful eyes and trembling lips.
Ji-i-ik.
A red line was drawn on the nape of the neck.
“You use a good knife. The edge is sharp. You look older than these guys. Manager? Person in charge?”
“I, I, I, gulp, just go, I’m on guard duty. S, By Master’s orders, I, I’m going to see how the kids are doing…”
Jjaeng──!
The knife that Ray had thrown carelessly rolled around on the floor.
“Then guide me. To your superiors.”
*
“Yes, I have contacted them and they will be here shortly. Please wait a moment!”
A man with a red line around his neck closed the door and disappeared, sweating profusely.
Squeak─ bang!
“… … .”
Ray looked inside.
A large table and leather sofa.
Other furnishings located here and there.
Not far from the black market.
The neat-looking office was assumed to be a branch of the Amon Family.
Phew─
Ray sat on the sofa.
Although the body was at rest, the mana in the ring was pulled up to the max to respond to unexpected situations.
In that state.
I calmly gathered my thoughts.
‘I said I’m not directly affiliated with the organization.’
Like the previous ten, the kind man who showed up at the end to give directions also did not have the tattoo of the Amon Family.
While leaving the black market, merchants ran hurriedly into the alley following the man’s instructions.
Unlike the big guys who used to bow their heads and greet me as we walked down the hallway together.
“We, we are all disciples of the Master. Ah, we are helping the Amon Family, but we, ah, do not belong there.”
In the empty lot, the man said in a sweet voice.
“Disciples? Are there eleven of you here, including you?”
“Oh, no. Including the people who are not here, there are more than 20 people.”
The master said he was a 2nd circle wizard.
He is a middle-aged man in his mid to late 40s.
The number of rings is not that great, but seeing that he can train nearly 20 disciples at once, it is right to say that he is not an ordinary person.
‘What kind of person is he?’
My curiosity was piqued.
It was said that the Master was currently coming here with the manager of the Amon Family.
Of course, the primary goal of this action was to make contact with the card technician, but I had no intention of being satisfied with that alone.
‘There has to be a harvest beyond just being able to use the card.’
That way, it made sense.
As far as taking on a certain level of risk by touching a large organization.
… In fact, the safest course of action would have been to wait for the war between the North and the East to end and for the card technicians to resume their activities.
‘So I don’t know how long I’ll have to wait.’
There was a need to move things forward as quickly as possible.
Having been in Sector 46 for nearly a month, the journey has been delayed for quite some time.
And it seemed that such compensation would be possible through a person called a teacher.
If he has the ability to train more than 20 disciples at the same time, he must be someone with much more knowledge and information than an ordinary magician.
‘I guess I can have some expectations.’
Information about rainbows, for example.
Information about the seven colored bands that appear in the sky.
Information about a mysterious weather phenomenon that is said to grant the wish of whoever discovers it.
“… … .”
Any information related to the party’s goals would be good, even if it wasn’t that.
For example.
Black Rain, Philip’s Mother, Murkred, The City of the Wizard, The Wizard of the Monocle, and more…
─Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock.
It was then that the sound of fast-paced footsteps was heard from outside.
The footsteps grew louder and stopped right in front of the door.
Squeak─ Rattling!
A number of men appeared.
For a moment, Ray couldn’t take his eyes off the chest of the person in front of him.
Two rings.
It was filled with dark blue mana.
