#170. Melting Point (6)
Swaaa …
Pouring rain.
A quiet commotion spread through the hot breaths of the organization members.
Binjin was a symbol of fear even among the members of the Amon Family.
Even though they were allies, the sight of them brutally slaughtering the enemy in a conflict zone was enough to instill fear deep in one’s bones.
They said that Binjin died.
That too by the hands of his disciples.
“Aila, is it true what you just said? That you killed Binjin?”
Ayla flinched at Amon’s overbearing voice.
My head turned white and I unconsciously looked at Ray.
“… … .”
“… … .”
The moment our eyes met, I felt my heart calm down.
‘Those eyes are telling me again. You are not useless. You can do it.’
‘This wound, this scar will fade. I’ll get in trouble with Veronica when I go back. Should I erase it with a makeup tool or something?’
Empowered, Ayla looked back at Amon and took a deep breath.
I am Aila.
Aila, not useless, but useful.
and.
The moment I recalled Amon’s appearance, who would always give me a very sticky gaze whenever we met.
‘… … !’
My anger surged along with my goosebumps.
Ayla stepped on the accelerator.
“Yeah, I killed him. You’re not satisfied? You horny little shit.”
The air suddenly became chilly.
“Whew.”
I could hear Ain swallowing his breath next to me.
“You… what did you just say…!”
“Won’t you clean those dirty eyes? I’ll pluck them out and turn them into ice lollies.”
Another mumbling was heard from the side.
“It looks like my older sister has accumulated a lot of things. Something seems to have changed.”
Amon’s face turned red and blue silently as the silence flowed.
“Ah, ah…! What did I say…! Sorry, sorry… you little brat! Ugh…!”
“… … .”
It seemed that Ayla still had trouble controlling her frozen emotions.
“Phew.”
Amon, who had suppressed his anger for a moment, turned his gaze to Ray and continued the conversation.
“Sir, can we go inside and check to see if Binjin is really dead?”
Amon glanced inside the tower behind Ray.
“That’s strange.”
“What do you mean?”
“After hearing Ayla’s words, you said you would immediately confirm Binjin’s death.”
“that….”
“Normally, they would ask why he was killed and what happened inside.”
“that….”
“You don’t seem at all curious. About what happened inside. It’s like you already knew what to expect.”
“… … .”
“Isn’t that so?”
Ray’s eyes and voice were so cold that they felt like they were piercing my lungs.
The corners of Amon’s mouth, which had been silent for a long time, turned up.
“That’s why you quick-witted kids.”
“You must have known that Binjin was using his disciples as sacrificial offerings for his magic.”
“Okay, keep going.”
“Considering the extent of the collusion, it is highly likely that he was also responsible for raising orphans to be his disciples.”
Exploitation magic.
Ain’s eyes were filled with shock and amazement, and soon he made a face as if he was finally understanding the situation.
Ray continued to speculate calmly.
“To prevent Binjin’s bad taste from being disturbed, they probably placed guards around the tower today as well.”
“… … .”
“You must have received reports of a fight inside the tower. You panicked, but you deliberately arrived here after the fight had ended.”
“… … .”
“Then, whether old or young, we can defeat the dying victor and take the relics inside the tower.”
Amon, who had been listening to the long story, clapped his hands and burst into loud laughter.
“Excellent. Very good. It makes me wonder what kind of life you had at such a young age. Maxton, what were you doing at that age?”
The subordinate holding the umbrella heard Amon’s words.

“I don’t remember exactly, but I think I was selling gum on the street.”
“Yes. That’s normal for that age. But that guy, I’ve felt it before, is really different. Not only does he have outstanding magic skills, but his head is also incredibly sharp.”
“Yes, I think so.”
“Yeah, that’s right. And if you’re that quick-witted.”
Amon, whose expression became serious for a moment, turned to Ray and growled.
“You also know that if you don’t want to die, you should get out of the way right now.”
“… … .”
“Get out of my way, kid. If you don’t want to get a whole bunch of holes in your body right now. Those things inside are things I’ve been wanting for a very long time.”
Ain heard those words and became excited, trying to step forward.
“This kid…!”
“Wait a minute, not now…!”
Ayla, who had calmed Ain down, analyzed the situation with anxious eyes.
‘… is disadvantageous.’
The number of opponents is too large and we are already completely surrounded.
The silhouettes of pitch-black vehicles and members of the organization were visible even outside the mansion’s gate.
Swaaa …
The field of vision was also limited, making it difficult to fight to one’s heart’s content.
Since there are three wizards, they could deal massive damage if they fought.
‘I can’t guarantee your life.’
In the end, the ultimate winner is likely to be the Amon family.
Amond, who was cunning and quick-witted, must have calculated the situation thoroughly before making his move.
“… … .”
Ray’s silence was rather long.
Amon raised the corners of his mouth as he felt that things were going as he had predicted.
“fire.”
“yes.”
Click!
“I have a question.”
“Huh─ Huh? Yeah, what is it?”
“With Binjin, who used to look after you, gone, how do you plan on resolving the conflict with other organizations going forward?”
“Oh, that’s what you mean.”
Amon chuckled and answered.
“There’s no need to worry. Our Amon family is actually closer to his disciples than Binjin. It’s not hard to control the remaining disciples in the mansion through them. Of course, we’ll have to use some special medicine to prevent them from rebelling.”
Amon’s laughter continued.
The disciples of the mansion are like dolls with no sense of subjectivity.
It’s just that the doll’s owner has changed.
‘That’s… no way.’
Ayla’s breathing became rapid.
It was only a few minutes ago that he found freedom from the chains that had bound his life.
But then I have to put on chains again.
It was a terrible thing, too horrible to even imagine.
Ayla looked at the decision maker with a pounding heart.
And Ray.
Swish- slap.
I stepped aside.
“Ouch! He’s definitely smart. He’s quick to judge situations. Let’s go in. We need to check Binjin’s body and retrieve the relics. Have you called the appraisers?”
“We have it waiting in our office so that it can be appraised and put on the black market right away.”
“Okay, okay, very good.”
While the front row of members of the organization entered the tower, Ayla and Ain stepped aside, following Ray.
‘Sister, is this right?’
‘Hey, what on earth were you thinking?’
It was confusing.
I was anxious and nervous.
Maybe he thinks that since he is not from the mansion, he will not be affected by what happens next?
At that time, the siblings were beginning to feel conflicted about whether they should go their separate ways.
widely.
Amon stopped walking in front of her and looked at Ayla.
“I can take better care of the dolls than Binjin.”
‘ah.’
Ayla felt something snap in her head.
That moment when I was fiercely raising my mana without even realizing it.
“I have one more question.”
Ray’s voice, heard, stopped my actions.
“I have one more question.”
“Huh? What is it? I’m feeling pretty good right now, so answer me.”
“There was one rule in the sector I lived in.”
“What rule are you talking about?”
“The rule that says whoever wins the fight takes everything. I wonder if that rule applies in Sector 37 as well.”
Amon answered with a hearty laugh.
“Can’t you see that I’m taking the spoils right now? The strong take everything. Be it money, people, businesses, or anything. It’s the same law in any sector. It’s also my favorite law!”
“That’s fortunate.”
Ray gives a glance to Ayla and Ain.
“That’s a rule I like too.”
He spat it out coldly.
Wedge!
It was only a moment before Ray’s hand, wrapped in blue mana, reached out towards Amon’s neck.
────!
“Ugh! Cough! Cough!”
Amon, who had been lifted into the air, writhed and punched the hand that was holding his neck.
But the force of the blow, like hitting a rock, showed no sign of weakening.
Rather, beyond that.
Crackle─! Crackle─!
Ice spread from his palm and began to cover his entire body except his face.
“Cough! Gulp! Gulp!”
Amon’s face turned pale as he was gripped by extreme fear.
Fear and dread were spreading among the members of the organization lined up outside the tower.
“Mom, my body is freezing!”
“Oh, it’s magic! It’s magic!”
The ice that had risen under my feet spread through my legs and throughout my body.
A situation where everything is chaos itself.
But the one who was most surprised by the sight unfolding before her eyes was not the enemy, but Ayla.
‘You were wasting time with the conversation and scattering ice elements all over the lawn…? When on earth…? I didn’t even notice it…?’
I got goosebumps.
The boy’s constant words of encouragement.
3 circles reached from inside the tower.
Thanks to this, the girl was able to erase all the inferiority complex that had remained in her heart like a bruise and greatly regain her self-confidence.
But this.
‘The level is quite different.’
It feels like I’m facing a wall beyond the wall.
However, I didn’t feel inferior.
The emotions that were now in the girl’s bowl were positive colors of competition and elation.
“Shoot! Shoot!”
“Ha, but! Look, boss, father!”
“Shoot first! We have to stop the magic! Otherwise, we’ll all be wiped out!”
Under the instructions of those who appeared to be executives, the organization members launched a counterattack.
The members of the organization who had entered the tower hurriedly ran to get out.
The members of the organization outside the tower pulled the trigger with their still-unfrozen arms.
“… … !”
Ain, who sensed that some kind of magic had taken hold of his body, jumped up and ran away.
Immediately after.
Ayla created a circular ice barrier around herself and Ray.
A gunshot rings out through the sound of rain.
A sparkle flashing in the blurry vision.
─────────!
Countless bullet casings littered the lawn.
But the huge ice wall was not even scratched.
Ain, who had entered the tower, was holding a piece of concrete and running wild among the enemies.
Crunch─! Crunch─!
Every time the sharp piece cut a line, the members of the organization fell, spraying blood.
“Lord, die!”
For a moment, I saw the muzzle of a gun pointed in my direction, but I did not intentionally dodge it.
It was because I had a strong intuition that it would be okay even if I was right.
Thud─!
In reality, the bullets that hit the body bounced off without a fight.
‘What kind of magic did you cast on me, brother?’
Ain was dumbfounded.
It felt as if my entire body had become as hard as metal.
In the Magic Tower, they teach not only how to hit an opponent’s head with a book, but also such terrifying magic.
Ah, the magic tower.
‘It’s a really scary place.’
In this way, the situation inside and outside the tower was resolved in an instant.
The enemies inside were all bleeding and groaning on the floor.
All enemies outside were frozen, with only their faces turning blue.
Wow─!
The thick ice barrier crumbled at Ayla’s will.
Ayla looked around and spoke in a somewhat dazed voice.
“I didn’t know I could win this easily.”
“You are strong. Like I said.”
Ayla thought quietly at Ray’s words.
‘I think it’s not me who’s strong, but you.’
“But I am stronger.”
Ayla flinched.
‘Did you read my mind?’
I thought about it carefully.
‘Why has the interest and concern disappeared from the eyes looking at me?’
I stared at the boy intently, but there was no reaction.
Then Ain walked out from inside the tower and said.
“Brother? What kind of magic did you cast on me? My body completely turned into stone?”
“Metal, not stone.”
“Is it metal?”
“The magic name is Metallization. And get ready. The fight isn’t over yet.”
Ray raised his finger.
I could see enemies pouring in through the mansion gate.
“Yeah. I can still fight.”
“I still have a lot of mana left in the ring…?”
It was then that the unusual phenomenon was observed.
The incoming enemies were shaking as if they had been shocked by electricity and then falling down one by one.
… but not a single dot of electricity appeared in the empty space.
“Do you learn things like that on the rooftop?”
“Hey, Hayler. What kind of magic is that?”
Ain and Ayla asked with blank expressions, but Ray was unable to answer.
Because it wasn’t the magic he used.
“… … .”
What the boy was currently seeing was a giant snake flying around the gate.
[Woooooooooo─!]
The entire body is made of yellow mana that emits brilliant light.
[Phajijik─!]
A dazzling electric current was rushing inside it like a storm.
‘Lacria.’
The boy repeated the snake’s name.
