A Deal With The Frigid Wizard

Chapter 25

“Hisran, you bastard, did you burn all of the territories’ Chinese Zombies?”

A warlock asked in a trembling voice.

Hisran’s eyebrows twitched.

“You bastard…? People whom I wouldn’t mind burning to death said vulgar things to me.”

“Aki, shut up!”

Shaq said as if he was ready for the teleportation magic, pulling his allies with his magical powers. The corners of his lips rose for the first time.

“You want to run away? Without my permission?”

Hisran’s seething magic began to interfere with the magic in this area.

As the magic that contained Hisran’s heat became unstable, teleportation magic became impossible. A glimmer of despair shone on the faces of the warlocks.

“I have a lot of things piled up right now.”

“….”

“Give me back time, or if that’s not possible, let me bake you until my anger is released. What would you choose?”

It was an unanswered option.

Burning was one of the most terrifying punishments for many. Although they were evil warlocks who had betrayed humanity, Diana could only feel ant tears of sympathy.

Hisran was extremely angry, Zephiroth and Diana were so focused on him that the warlocks were in desperate danger. For different reasons, the people inside the cave did not find a single stone embedded in the wall of the cave that did not give off a slightly reddish glow.

He was definitely holding onto a single string of reason because he didn’t spread the Fire Sphere to the warlocks that had burned the Chinese Zombies!

The basic fire magic, Fire Ball, that wizards with a certain amount of magical power would get a small amount of burns even if they were hit without any special defense.

However, when Hisran unfolded it, the fireball became special. The warlocks who were baptized with fireballs turned red and collapsed. They could die if not treated promptly.

Zephiroth hurriedly stopped Hisran from trying to open the fireball once more, as if his fury did not go away even after making four people die in an instant. If he killed them, it would be difficult to know the details.

“Tower Master! Where is Miss Jaeha? Where did you leave her?”

At that moment, Jaeha’s name was brought out to draw his attention. The effect was far superior to Zephiroth’s thoughts.

Hisran, exhaling a stinging breath, blinked his eyes.

“Huh? She’s safe in my shield…”

The moment his reason returned from running away from home, Hisran’s body complained of extreme magic consumption and fatigue. The golden eyes that had disappeared from the ferocious light were gently closed.

At that moment, Zephiroth and Diana sighed in relief.

Now that the worry of being burned by their ally is gone, all they have to do was work hard on the clean-up. Did this goddamn Tower Master ask for support to take care of the cleanup because he was able to do this on his own…?

Hahaha, he couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

The warlocks who filled with the magic constraint ball and Zephiroth, who took good care of Hisran, came down from the mountain.

Thanks to Kyle’s quick response, the fire damage from Hisran’s fire magic was not great. It was difficult to see that there was no damage, though since all those dreadful Chinese Zombies were also burned, it would be enough to cover with the result.

Jaeha, whom Hisran seemed to cherish, was also unharmed without any injuries.

Even though he was reluctant to ask Zephiroth, seeing Hisran on his back, she was forced to approach him.

She asked in a trembling voice.

“Hisran, is he seriously hurt?”

“No. It’s just that he was exhausted after burning the Chinese Zombies and the warlocks to death. I’m glad you’re safe, Miss Jaeha.”

“Well, I was safe inside the shield.”

For some reason, Jaeha, who seemed to have done nothing this night other than being harassed by Hisran, answered, avoiding Zephiroth’s gaze. She felt guilty even when she faced the wizards and knights who had turned into a mess while dealing with the Chinese Zombies and stopping the fire.

“Well, Miss Jaeha. I just have one question.”

“Please speak.”

“I think the Tower Master was quite angry about something. You’ve been with him, so I’d like to ask if you have any guesses.”

“Uh, that’s…”

In addition to Zephiroth, the eyes of wizards who wondered why Hisran was angry were focused. Jaeha’s face flushed red as he remembered the situation when Hisran was running away.

Ugh, she can’t even speak of this one, even if her mouth was ripped. What should she say with the story that he immersed himself in a relationship while doing the pretending, that was not a pretense, and he seems to be upset because he is disturbed by the appearance of the Chinese Zombies…?

Jaeha felt as though she was going to die of embarrassment just thinking about it.

‘Hisran, you perverted bastard… Then, fall down for what you did! I’m the only one in trouble.’

She cried inwardly.

Seeing Jaeha blushing and unable to answer, Zephiroth and other wizards spread their imaginations. No, they talked a little bit.

“Hey, maybe the Chinese Zombies appeared at the moment when Tower Master made up his mind and was about to confess?”

“Wow, then I can understand the overturned eyes. The Tower Master, he hasn’t had a woman before, right? It must have been his first confession.”

“Or, maybe the moment he was about to kiss?”

“Oh, that’s plausible…”

Hearing the conversations of the wizards, Jaeha shed tears inside.

It seemed that Hisran and Jaeha were the ones with the most impure mental states. Or, was it that these wizards, who were locked in the red tower and usually only do magic training and research, were innocent…?

‘I used to be like this. How did this happen?’

This was all because of Hisran Ephesion…

With that thought, she stared at Hisran, who had lost consciousness with a firm expression.

The fires within the Viscounty were safely put out with the efforts of the wizards, although the fire from Jaeha’s eyes did not seem to be extinguished easily.

A wide space with darkness. Though it was dark, the reddish light made it possible to distinguish the outlines of objects to some extent. The light emanated from the eyes of the statue, which was about four meters tall.

The statue, sculpted from an unknown material, was dressed in a wizard’s robe like the statue of Magia, who is called the god of magic.

Nevertheless, unlike Magia’s statue, he did not hold a staff in his right hand, but a mace in his left hand. It was because it was a statue of Tumor, the god of black magic and anger, feared by the creatures of this continent.

This place where the giant statue of Tumor is located was within the Kainus Empire and was a holy land of black magic that had been passed down to only a few warlocks from generation to generation. In front of the statue, there was a red altar, a holy relic that contained the blood of ten thousand angry creatures.

A pale bloody crystal ball was placed on the altar. This orb was connected to the image stone in the base near the Viscount Koufen.

The marbles showed the black magicians who were suppressed by Hisran and the magicians belonging to the red tower destroying the black magic circle and starting to search the inside of the cave.

The image stone in the cave after completing its role would soon turn to powder, so there was no need to worry about being discovered.

Debrandt, a man in a black robe handling a crystal ball, clicked his tongue. He was the most favored of the god Tumor and the current leader of the warlocks. He first received a revelation from the God Tumor about three months ago.

— Get a bowl full of yin to hold me.

It was just one thing. Nonetheless, after the God Tumor was sealed by several Gods, it was the first time that such a clear revelation had come.

The warlocks, including Debrant, cheered. So they took the risk and started working.

It was usually women who possessed strong yin. Rarely, men are also born with strong yin, although unless they are supplied with yang in a special way, they usually do not exceed the age of fifteen, and the blood vessels of the whole body harden and die.

The hint of ‘full of yin’ was abstract and broad in scope. Naturally, it was difficult to fulfill the revelation.

If only a little more hints were given…

Debrandt devised a way to strengthen his connection with the God Tumor. In any case, the revelation that came down at least once meant that there was an opening.

‘Let’s energize the altar, the only remaining holy thing.’
