Infinite Mage – 134



[134] Priority (5)

In a word it was not the intensity of emotions that could exist in reality. It was a situation where the heart could stop due to nervous system shock even if the Diamond Buddha was shaken by 1 percent.

But Amy wasn’t worried. Because even that 1 percent doesn’t shake it can be called a diamond.

Sirone finally pushed his men to the table. Falcoa who watched the mess contorted her face in anger.

“What are you doing! Cut your throat right now!”

The subordinates charged at the same time pulling out the longswords worn on their waists.

“shit! It’s embarrassing to use a knife on a kid!”

At that moment light flashed from Sirone’s body. The flash of light in the confined space blinded the subordinates.

“Keugh! what!”

As befits those who have mastered the art of the eye dark adaptation was fast enough to escape human limitations. But they didn’t move. Both the subordinates and Falcoa were just staring blankly at Sirone.

“what? What are you going to do with the light?”

Sirone flipped her palm and launched an orb of light. The golden photons were compressed to a pale color as they were compressed at great speed.

“Sirone are you sure?”

Amy finally realized in front of the power of the photon which shook so much that the frequency could not be measured.

A magic that generates a shock wave by accelerating mass to a speed comparable to that of light. It was the Photon Cannon.

“Sirone! You are…!”

It is not easy to avoid the photon cannon in an enclosed space. In the end someone would be beaten and if that happened there would be no choice but to die.

Before Amy could finish her words Sirone raised the white sphere. And with all my might I pinned it to the ground.

The moment the flash struck a tremendous roar spread out as if thunder struck in front of my eyes shaking the room.

“Keugh! What is this!”

People in the room covered their ears. As the shockwave spread across the ground underground structures shuddered. Piles of dust poured from the ceiling.

The subordinates were as relaxed as if they had survived a natural disaster. The echo of the roar that had not left the basement still lingered in my ears.

After a while the gang members looked back at the place where Sirone’s magic had been applied. Surprisingly the bottom was not dug deep. However the flat pressed range exceeded 4 meters in diameter.

“What is this… isn’t it underground?”

The subordinates couldn’t believe it even after seeing it with their own eyes.

It was a temple that could be said to be the strongest structure in Galliant. In order to create a space underground a design method focused on durability is essential. In fact the floor of the temple was covered with thick steel plates.

It was understandable that the entire basement was shaken if the steel plate was carelessly pressed against it. In short it was not a force that humans could withstand.

Like veterans his subordinates did not show a crying expression. However I kept as much distance as possible and was wary of Sirone.

Falcoa’s impression crumpled again at that appearance.

It was the fact that he overcame 10 pressings but the magic he had now was the kind he had never seen before even he had been through numerous battlefields.

“You… who the hell are you? Where is the line?”

A huge network of wizards connecting continents is called a line. However Sirone did not know the words commonly used in the wizarding society. He just proudly revealed his origins.

“I am Sirone who attends Alpheas Magic School.”

Jess looked back at Sirone in amazement. For aristocrats origin is a golden rope but in some circumstances it becomes a fetter.

Since she was treated so badly at the port there was no way that Sirone didn’t know about it. But why did he reveal his origin?

“student? No wonder. Are you saying that I was just distracted by the student subject? hey isn’t that it? If I accuse the school you will be finished that day. You will probably be kicked out.”

“If you want to file a complaint do so.”

Falcoa’s eyebrows twitched at the unexpected reaction.

“It doesn’t matter whether it’s discipline or expulsion. Because that won’t dictate my life. Of course school is an important place for me. But there are plenty of things more important than that. And Amy…”

Sirone continued glaring at Falcoa.

“It takes precedence over all priorities set by me.”

Amy blinked. The quickening speed of her eyelids seemed to indicate her heartbeat.

“It’s okay to receive any kind of punishment. If you want to sue do it. But Amy won’t stay here even for a second. If you bring my friend to such a filthy place one more time then I will really smash it.”

With a squeak Lian’s straight sword came out with the sound of water. The fact that a sword the height of an average person extended forward was overwhelming.

“As expected sirone. Because my eyes weren’t wrong.”

Rian realized why the sword had not been drawn willingly until now. Just as a small crack breaks an iceberg it seems that a minor stumbling block called discipline has disturbed his convictions.

“You are right Sirone. Putting your friends in danger because you’re afraid of discipline? You must be kidding. Ogent Lian has never lived like that for a moment.”

After Lian Tess’s three swords were pulled out.

“Ho-ho-ho! The same goes for Elzaine Tess! We can’t leave the Shirone faction’s mascot Amy in a den of raw thugs like this!”

Lian looked back at Tess as if she was dumbfounded.

“Since when is sirone green onion?”

“Ahh at a time like this let’s just move on. Anyway I don’t notice.”

Tess who fired at Lian turned to Amy. He was still lost in his thoughts but his cheeks were more flushed than before.

A friendly smile crept across Tess’ lips.

‘That would be nice. Amy.’

Tess was also a woman so I could guess her feelings.

To Sirone Amy was not just a point looking down from an omniscient point of view. A friend who can’t be replaced by anything. No maybe it was something more.

Shirone who pushed the men’s approach with force walked towards Amy. Then he stretched out his hand and repeated the first words.

“Let’s go back Amy.”

Finishing her thoughts Amy lifted her head and said.

“…huh.”

When Amy stood up Falcoa’s face flushed red. Clumps of gore came rushing in making a commotion and now they were going out on their own.

‘Has the world’s Falcoa fallen this far?’

It’s been five years since all the members of the organization hid on the island to avoid the continent’s pursuers. There was a lot of work but everything was boring to him.

Thanks to that my brain was soaked in drugs and my mind which only knew blood was oiled. But just five years ago it was Falcoa who cut down countless people while crossing the continent.

At that time he was a creature that exists to cut someone. Even the captain couldn’t ignore Falcoa’s skills and that’s why he was not banished until now.

“Hey don’t you think you’ll be able to get out safely?”

Amy stopped and looked back at Falcoa.

“If you make a fuss here you will be in trouble too. Underground guests are drug addicts and will be your biggest bankroll. If you want to sue do so. But neither of us will stand still. Maybe this store will close.”

“Did you just believe in that and be fooled? I’m sorry but no one on this island can touch me.”

“But inland the story is different.”

Falcoa frowned and looked at Amy. Both of her eyes were burning red.

‘Hongan. It must have been Karmis.’

Falcoa knew the famous Karmis family on the continent. The ability to save a state at a specific point in time and restore it at any time.

No drug can make you addicted to it and no drug can penetrate it. The Karmis family was not called invincible in the spirit world for nothing.

‘Did it mean that it was a fish that could not be caught from the beginning? He must have known all of that girl and followed her.’

Falcoa gnashed his teeth with an expressionless face.

If it was the Karmis family it was the first rank in the aristocratic hierarchy so if she put her hand to it it would not be impossible for the fortress to collapse after five years of hard work.

The amount of money earned by distributing loops is enormous. Even the most distraught Falcoa was sensitive to money. Because you can’t buy loops without money.

“haha! Cheeky bitch. I will definitely repay you for this humiliation!”

“Do it if you can. But you’d better be careful the next time we meet. Now that this has happened I’m thinking of not caring about school and having fun.”

Amy who had clearly fired at Falcoa returned to the arms of Sirone and the others.

“Sorry for worrying you. Let’s go now.”

Not wanting to stay here any longer they quickly stepped up to the ground. Employees were watching at every corner but no one stopped them.

As soon as I left the bar I could feel the air change. Tess spread her arms and inhaled the night air.

“Whoa it feels good. Thanks to Amy we got the tour right. You went around the most famous royal palace on Galliante Island from the basement to the top.”

“ha ha ha! You’re right when you hear that. Besides I went to the sandy beach stopped by the port and toured the commercial district so I guess I’ve been to all but the historical sites?”

Amy was taken aback by Lian’s words.

“what? Have you been to your port?”

“huh. Because Sirone said it was quick to grab and ask the gang members. I ran mindlessly. If it wasn’t for the enthusiastic coachman I would have missed it on time.”

Amy looked at Sirone. Then when our eyes met I averted my gaze. I haven’t had the courage to look at his face properly yet.

I remembered Sirone’s words I heard in the basement. It may have been about the importance of a friend without needing to misinterpret it but that was enough.

Why didn’t I know? When she fell off the cliff she was the only person who called her name and held her hand.

Amy could be satisfied with realizing its meaning.

“Sorry for being late Amy. I’ll go back and talk to you. There was something special on the way.”

“Hey I’m not even curious! Why should I listen to that?”

“Are you still not angry?”

The anger has already been resolved. But Amy thought it would be better to be angry like this.

“Let’s get this straight. Surely you’re not imagining anything strange about today’s work are you? A prince on a white horse who saved the princess or something.”

“huh? It’s not?”

“Thank you for coming to help but I was not caught but followed for personal reasons. Even if you don’t help those guys are no match for me.”

“haha! know. I’m class po and you’re a senior so who cares about whom?”

When Sirone readily agreed Amy felt rather weak.

“Hmm… it’s enough if you know. It’s just like that.”

Tess grabbed her stomach and laughed. It felt like Amy had finally returned to her original Amy.

Lian shouted as she turned to the business district.

“hungry! Shall we buy a late-night snack on the way back?”

“Midnight Snack? good! i love it! Hurray!”

Jis was able to return home after midnight as he was cleaning out the tavern.

After being beaten nervous and even working my body felt heavy as if I had doubled my weight.

Even so I was able to endure it thanks to the relief that the things I feared did not happen.

Amy escaped safely from Falcoa’s clutches. Of course he didn’t suffer any harm either.

Since he did what he was told to do there wouldn’t be any reason to beat even Falcoa.

‘If it wasn’t for him I might have died.’

Amy’s face came to mind as clearly as the real thing.

Of all the women Gees had ever met there was no woman as strong and beautiful as her. Why would such a great man try to help himself?

‘Sirone? He said he was also a commoner.’

Jess remembered everything Sirone said at the bar.
