Book 4-5.4

‘Let’s see what she says once they are all defeated.’

Yulian thought like that as he started to speak to Thrint.

“Since Violet-nim sounds so sure, make sure to do it properly. I ask you not to do anything that will damage our pride.”

Yulian was telling Thrint to not hurt the child. Thrint was also a bit angered by what Violet had just said, but nodded his head thinking that a woman who knew nothing about them could not know the truth.

Violet smiled brightly as she clasped her two hands together before releasing them. Once she did that, one of the greatswords the Red Storm left outside the Shire showed up in her hand.

“I made a temporary one using incantations. The weight, length, width, everything should be the same so please try your best.”

Thrint, who had been looking at the greatsword Violet had instantly made with interest, started to frown at Violet’s words before grabbing onto the greatsword in Violet’s hand.

It was the exact same weapon he always used.

“Jose.”

Violet called one of the children forward.

“Please show the strength of the Shire’s incantations to Pareia’s Glow.”

“Yes, Violet-nim.”

This child who hasn’t even gone through puberty quickly answered. Jose then looked toward the children who were studying with him.

The other children quickly got up and surrounded Jose.

Yulian suddenly realized that things got much easier and started to speak.

“The child seems to have spoken. Didn’t we decide nobody else could speak?”

“It is hard to show the strength of incantations without speaking.”

“Then I suppose my test is over?”

As Yulian smiled and asked, Violet shook her head.

“Are you trying to go against the promise?”

As Yulian asked about Violet’s actions, Violet shook her head once more before starting to speak.

“You seem to have forgotten about something. Let’s show you the strength of our incantations first. The Glow should know the power of the Shire that he is trying to make his own.”

Violet did not even wait for Yulian’s response as she shouted over to Jose.

“Start.”

As soon as Violet’s command was given, Jose took out a stick with long black furs on it out of his chest and started to chant his incantation.

Once Jose started moving, the children around him stood in a triangle formation behind him and took out their own incantation tools to work with Jose.

Thrint knew about how scary incantations could be. Even if he was against Tuma Takaka who could not even lift the greatsword one inch off the ground, he did not think he would have much of an advantage.

But the opponent was not Pareia’s Grand Shaman Tuma Takaka. They were children who did not even have peach fuzz on their faces. Thrint decided to wait for the opponent’s incantation to finish and completely destroy it as he just waited their with his greatsword in his hand.

“Hear my will. The source of my strength is the heaven and earth. The responsibility for this strength falls within my will and determination.”

Jose continued on with his incantation as the children behind him started to shake their incantation tools wildly in the air. Suddenly, each of the other children’s strengths followed the triangle formation to gather inside Jose.

There was no way Thrint, who was already a master level warrior, would not notice that. He was just slightly nervous at the fact that they were stronger than he had expected them to be.

‘If it continues like this, it would not be honorable even if I win. I need to cut down down around now to avoid being embarrassed.’

That was what Thrint was thinking as he moved his greatsword to the side.

“......”

Thrint hesitated for a moment. He had almost let out a grunt to energize himself. That woman was being really sly and doing whatever she could to make them talk.

‘It is something I need to be wary about. But the fact that I almost let it slip shows that I still need more training.’

While Thrint was thinking internally and starting to get into position again, Jose and the children must have completed their incantation as a strong wind started to blow from around them.

There was no sand storm because they were standing on stone, however, small pebbles started to fly toward Thrint and cutting through his clothes.

But Thrint did not even blink an eye. Compared to the Sand Storm he experienced in the Monster’s Desert, this kind of wind was comparable to a cold wind blowing toward the oasis underneath the hot sun.

As for the injuries he just received? They were so small that they would heal in a day even without any medical herbs.

Thrint started to slowly walk from the center of the storm that the children created.

“Dioma!”

Jose shouted loudly as he slammed his furry stick to the ground.

Rumble-

The moment the stick hit the ground, the earth started to split as it quickly approached Thrint. Thrint moved his body to the side to avoid the giant gap in the ground, but that was not the end.

“Dioma!”

Jose shouted loudly once more as the earth started to split once more perpendicular to the crack that was just created.

‘This is no joke.’

Thrint finally realize that Violet was not just bluffing earlier. This type of magic was a special type of difficult incantation that they had only seen Tuma Takaka use.

‘Even if thirty children are gathered together, how could they use a supreme level incantation like this?’

Thrint was no longer looking down on the children as he quickly increased his internal ki to avoid the earthquakes that continued to attack his feet.

“What?”

Yulian shouted out wondering what was going on as Thrint suddenly started to move his body left and right as he swung his greatsword.

Thrint was even biting down on his lips as he swung his greatsword and instantly approached the children.

“Dioma!”

Once the child chanted another incantation, Thrint had to start retreating once more.

‘Just what is making Thrint retreat like that?’

Yulian could not understand why Thrint was repeating his advance and retreat while dodging to the left and right.

“The effect of the incantation that warrior named Thrint is currently experiencing is something that only the affected party can see. That is why Yulian and the Red Storm warriors cannot see it.”

Yulian started to frown after seeing Violet smile and respond to his confused expression.

“An incantation that only the affected person can see. Is it an illusion then?”

“The Shire’s incantations are not that weak. What they see may be illusions, however, if you are hit by the effect of that incantation, it will not be just an illusion. Jose is currently borrowing the strength of the earth to use an incantation called Seismic Wave.”

“Seismic Wave?”

“It is an incantation that breaks the ground apart. If that warrior ends up missing a step and falling into the ground because of this earthquake, he will become buried alive underneath the earth. But you do not have to worry. Jose’s skills are not perfect yet so he should not have been able to make that big of an earthquake.”

Yulian started to frown at Violet’s words.

“Whether it is a seismic wave or any type of wave, Thrint will overwhelm those children. He is part of the Red Storm.”

“Of course. I feel the same way.”

In comparison to Yulian’s frown, Violet was smiling as she answered. However, Yulian was not happy as he felt like she was just smirking at him.

The battle between Thrint and the thirty shaman children did not end even after a long time. This result was not something either Violet or Yulian had expected.

For Yulian, he was surprised that Thrint was struggling to fend off the children. There may be thirty of them, but they were children who still had a long way to go until their coming-of-age ceremony. On the other hand, Violet was surprised because this incantation that was strong enough to easily defeat a Greatest Warrior level warrior could not defeat Thrint.

‘I must make sure to make them ours.’

Yulian started to think that he really must get the Shire to join Pareia.

With the Shire’s 1,000 shamans, unifying the desert would just be a problem of time.

It was at that moment that Thrint suddenly jumped away from the battlefield. He then approached Yulian and bowed his head.

Thrint realized that there was nothing he could do and decided to step away as he would be the one embarrassed if this continued on.

“You did well. The children are quite talented.”

Yulian accepted Thrint’s decision and started to speak as he looked toward Violet.

“I have no choice but to accept Violet-nim’s words. However, I have passed the Savior’s Test as someone from the Shire has spoken, correct?”

“Not yet. Didn’t I tell you to watch until the end?”

“Is there another method?”

“Jose!”

Instead of responding to Yulian’s question, Violet called over Jose who was standing in front of the children.

“Yes, Violet-nim.”

Once Jose approached her, Violet looked toward Yulian before starting to speak once more.

“There is only one method. I just have to kill the person who spoke. Jose.”

“Yes, Violet-nim.”

Jose started to shake a bit as he answered.

“We can’t end the Savior’s Test this easily because of you, right?”

“You… are right.”

“Then die.”

As calm as if she was greeting someone and as natural as if she was asking for some borrowed money back. Violet’s voice had both of these characteristics.

But the more surprising thing was the boy’s response.

“I understand.”

The boy’s body may have been shaking, but he answered without hesitation and took a sosoonta out of his chest. He then started to cut his own neck.

Ting!

“What do you think you are doing?!”

The sosoonta that was in Jose’s hand flew up far into the sky.

Yulian, who had flicked his finger to send Jose’s sosoonta flying was glaring at Violet and Jose with an extremely angry expression.
