The Escort Knight Who Is Being Obsessed Over by the Villainess Wants To Run Away

28. Final Exam (5)

[Finding a hidden quest.]

[‘Those who are attracted to nature’ in progress….]

As soon as I came to the altar where the sun statue was enshrined, the status window arrived.

‘What is this?’

This is the first quest I’ve seen.

Originally, after breaking through the maze of the ruins and discovering the altar, the quest called ‘The Great Grave Robber’ is completed.

By the way, a completely unfamiliar quest came.

‘I don’t even know the clear conditions….’

After thinking about it several times, I gave up.

You can’t force yourself to hold on to something you don’t know.

Right now, that goal in front of me is more important.

A space like a long stretch of chapel.

There is a large altar in the back.

On top of that, the goal of the test Elijah raised.

A statue of the sun is enshrined here.

The moment you step into it.

Deep deed….

The door of the chapel opened.

‘Huh?’

I was startled and turned around.

The man who opened the door and came in gasped and glared at me.

“… Hazel? How did you get here?”

I asked in bewilderment.

‘Why is he here… ?’

Hazel has entered the hidden ruins.

By breaking through even the maze.

How the hell?

Certainly in the imperial family….

“… Judah.”

His eyes calling me were stuck elsewhere.

Above the altar. Sun image.

“Oh, sorry. I found it first.”

“Alternatively. How the hell….”

Unlike him who came with difficulty, I arrived here very easily and leisurely.

The method is simple.

A five-way road appears in the middle of the ruins.

There, if you press, turn, and pull out the stones on the wall in a specific pattern, the transmission magic will be activated.

It can be said to be a variation of teleport magic.

Generally, it is used as a trap in a historical site like this, but it is different at that time.

The sun statue works as a shortcut that takes you directly to the hidden chapel.

“Just, what….”

However, it was difficult to explain everything.

I’m clumsy at lying, but I can’t help but gloss over it.

“Somehow…. Oh, you know it’s transfer magic, right? I was caught in a trap or something, but they took me to the front of the sun statue.”

“… ….”

I don’t believe it at all.

I decided to change my mind instead.

“By the way, how did you find out about this place?”

Hazel stares at me and smiles.

“I knew you were ignorant and stupid, but I never thought it would be this much. How did you come I followed after you, who knew the place well.”

It means that you followed me.

“I didn’t know that.”

“Then you, how would you know a place like this…. Ugh!”

Hazel groaned suddenly and dropped her to one knee.

Grabbing the stomach with her hand as if it hurt.

“Why is that?”

“I got hurt while breaking through the maze…. Would you mind looking after the wound?”

I strode closer.

“Where….”

Pretending to tend to the wound, I kicked that face as hard as I could.

“!”

However, Hazel dodged it by rolling behind her.

My feet cut through the air and got stuck in the wall.

“It’s fast.”

As I stepped out, I raised my sword and shield.

Hazel was not taken aback by the surprise attack.

But calmly, and again, as if it’s annoying.

“I hate you because you are quick to notice useless parts.”

“If you want to act, you have to do it properly. Since when do you ask me to see your injuries because we were so close?”

That’s not the only reason.

Shortly after Hazel came here, the survival expert frantically warned.

It’s dangerous.

The human in front of me is trying to kill me.

So, I first attacked Hazel, but failed.

Hazel grabbed the sword on her back.

One hand goes into the bosom.

‘Hazel’s weapon is a two-handed sword. Why is he putting his hand in his bosom?’

I don’t know what it is, but there’s no need to leave it as it is.

You kicked the debris from the ruins.

Pak!

Stone fragments shoot out sharply.

The target is Hazel’s shoulder and arm.

Just before reaching, Hazel pulled his hand out of his bosom.

The held object glittered in gold.

At that moment, Hazel was smiling.

“Thank you for saving me the trouble.”

He blocked the stones with the object in his hand.

The golden object shattered after the collision.

Shards of golden jewelry randomly bounced.

However, the scattered shapes on the floor are artificial.

As if drawing something.

‘This is the magic circle… ? Artifact?!’

Immediately after that, magical energy whirled around Hazel.

The results appeared quickly.

Three people appeared, gray from head to toe.

Those who covered their faces and bodies with tattered gray robes.

I know who the wizard dressed up is.

‘Imperial Wizards….’

Originally, Hazel is an Imperial Knight.

That seems to be no different even now.

‘Why were you at Elijah’s training center? Is it espionage?’

I dragged Yuel closer.

I wouldn’t know if it was a moonlit night, but now it’s daytime.

You can’t fight alongside Yuel.

One of the wizards said.

“What is your goal?”

Hazel chinned.

An altar with a sun statue that no one has touched yet.

“Sure. Come back.”

The moment they want to do something.

I took out a dagger from my bosom and threw it.

A throwing dagger for emergencies.

A sharp line drawn in the air.

A wall of rock appears and blocks the dagger.

It was magic.

“Annoying….”

At the time the wizard was talking, I was getting on Yuel.

‘Run!’

Even if I didn’t say anything, Yuel understood.

Runs swiftly to the altar.

I leaned over and tried to snatch the sun statue.

But….

Thump!

A chunk of rock flew in and exploded behind us.

Yuel and I were swept away by the shock wave and fell.

“Ul… ! Are you okay?”

I hurriedly checked with UL.

Fortunately, he got up and shaved his head a few times.

As expected, they are spiritual creatures.

It’s strong.

“You are sharp.”

A hood that covers the wizard’s face.

The tip was slightly torn.

It was the result of throwing another dagger abruptly when falling from Yuel.

The wizard speaks in an emotionless voice.

“But you are stupidly reckless. I’d rather have run away. I wouldn’t have let it go.”

I said, pulling Yuel back slightly.

“Because he has the personality to die rather than run away.”

It’s not just such a reckless reason.

A statue of the sun held up.

It is an object that makes any miracle come true.

That much, it is quite dangerous.

If you wish, it is also possible to resurrect a sealed demon.

The usage conditions are difficult, but if the emperor is behind them, it can be used easily.

‘By the way, what is the emperor going to do with this sun statue?’

Before the possession, I stole the sun statue.

Therefore, they do not know the emperor’s original purpose.

‘Whatever it is, at least I can’t let them take it.’

The wizard nodded.

“I will do as you wish.”

Three Imperial Wizards.

They all reached out to me in unison.

A gesture aimed at attacking magic.

‘Coming… !’

[Magical Liberation (Lv.45)]

I raised the mana of the whole body.

I’m not sure I’ll survive.

Magicians are very rare and strong talent.

Three spells fall simultaneously.

A large ice spear.

A blazing fireball.

A rock the size of a large mountain.

‘Big to dodge, powerful to block. The whole body will be crushed.’

If that’s the case, I’d rather go head-on.

I ran towards the ice spear.

The field of view is filled with light blue ice.

Instinctive fear soars.

A piece of ice large enough to crush a person.

But I believe in my character.

Discovery of Revelation.

Any magic can be nullified only once.

I hit the ice spear with my forehead.

Quad Deuk Deuk-!

It crashes loudly above my head.

It breaks and explodes in all directions like thin glass.

The surrounding air has become cold.

There is no pain in the body.

It’s a strange feeling.

The sound of ice windows breaking is loud.

Large pieces of debris fly in all directions.

Of course, the eyes and ears of the opponent will be dizzy as much as I am.

‘But I’m not sure I’ll be alive.’

Stick that off guard.

I found three wizards beyond the broken ice shards.

It’s easy to think I’m dead.

I immediately rushed.

In an instant, the ice shards are revealed outside.

Without time to feel the temperature of your breath change.

“Keep it off?!”

The arm of one of the wizards was cut off.

Hazel immediately swung her sword at me.

Thump!

A heavy two-handed sword hits the shield.

I tried to fight back, but Hazel’s feet pushed me away.

It’s embarrassing, but it’s quickly counterattacked.

There are two normal wizards.

There are also two large rocks floating in the air.

It falls without even thinking about it.

“Suck… !”

The first rock is shed as a shield.

The impact is too large.

The rock and iron shield shattered at the same time.

Cracked rocks scratch your body and face.

A second boulder flies past the debris obstructing the view.

‘The plague… ! If only there was a sword at a time like this… !’

I clenched my teeth.

A sense of magical power, as if it were about to burst, or as if it were burning.

There was not enough time to build up the sword skill.

The second rock is approaching.

‘Roll down and get out. The sword is cumbersome, so it’s better to throw it away and steal the weapon in close combat.’

The moment you want to put it into action.

Woe! And the surroundings suddenly brightened.

Yellow light spread around me.

“Ugh… ?!”

I closed my eyes tightly and opened them slightly.

A golden light encroaching on the surroundings.

What stands out more than that is the fluttering black coat.

A red scarf that flutters like a tail.

Long black hair that flows like waves.

I stared at the figure from the back, proudly standing as if dominating the blazing background.

It’s embarrassing, it’s surprising, but it’s more than ever welcome.

Unknowingly, I omitted the honorific and called the target.

“… Elijah?”
