Chapter 298

TL: Zimmings

I contacted the port and checked the coordinates of the Calosi ship.

Fortunately, it has not yet escaped the waters of the empire.

The Calosi are heading to Seveltium, a magic powerhouse, which was unable to pass through with the long distance teleportation scroll because it laid a strong barrier in its waters.

“What about the captain?”

“The communication device is out of reach because it is adjacent to the Seveltium area. After entering the barrier, we will be able to communicate only with the permission of Seveltium.”

“It will take a long time to get permission from Seveltium…”

“Yes, the problem is that if they go into the barrier, we can’t even check the coordinates. We could only check it when they arrived at Seveltium.”

It meant that I didn’t have time.

I nodded and lifted the long-distance teleportation scroll.

Viscount Dubos and Trigon hurriedly said.

“Are you going alone?”

“The exact coordinates will change from time to time because the ship is moving. If you move now, you may fall into the sea, so I’ll go first and stop the boat and send you the exact coordinates. After that, put Irie in.”

“But isn’t it the same for you that might fall into the sea?”

“I’m a mage. I didn’t only use aura, who specialize in armed forces like Irie, so I can use magic even at sea. Oh, and…”

After instructing Viscount Dubos, I moved to the place where Calosi was.

A flash of light wraps around my body and I open my eyes again…

“Argh!”

I moved to the surface of the water and fell into the sea in an instant.

I was horribly confused and rushed out of the water.

“I forgot. I can’t swim. Phew!”

At that time, Pur’s voice was heard.

[Concentrate, spread the barrier and twist gravity!]

‘Oopsie.’

I quickly focused and changed the flow of my divine power. Soon, a round circle formed from under my feet, and I was able to rise above the sea.

‘It’s a barrier…’

I expected to fall into the water, but when I really fell into the water, I panicked and used the boundary late.

I looked around, squeezing my wet dress.

‘This is the vast ocean…’

There’s nothing in sight. I felt like I was left alone in the world.

[I can’t see the ship, master!]

Chul-soo spoke in an overly excited voice.

‘He’s useless, so should I throw him away here?’

I sighed and recalled the direction of the ship’s movement.

‘So, the speed of Calosi… And the direction of the coordinates becomes like this.….’

I was struggling and contemplating, but once again, I heard Chul-soo’s voice.

[40 km Let’s move forward.]

“Huh?”

[40km away.]

I blinked and moved again, wondering if it could be true. But…

‘The ship!’

In front of me, I could see a trade ship engraved with the pattern of Dubblede. It was clearly Calosi.

I looked at the boat with a puzzled look and asked.

‘Chul-soo, how did you know this?’

[They gave me test questions to use at times like this…]

He muttered in a sentimental voice, saying he was sorry for swearing throughout his middle and high school years. I don’t know what it means, but thanks to the test question, he was able to know the location.

I tore up another long-distance teleportation scroll and moved to the deck of the ship.

As I moved there, the people in the boat looked at me.

Of course, they didn’t look like sailors.

I casually wrote down the coordinates on the note and made the note into a new shape by magic. Then I attached a magic tool for location tracking and floated it in the sky.

If that note flies within the communication range, the mages of Dubblede will snatch it and come here.

“Who are you?”

The unidentified men asked. Without answering, I shook my hand looking at the traces of the teleportation scroll.

“Do you know how much the teleportation scroll is…?”

“What?”

“If I hadn’t used it and sold it, I could have bought another building, can you understand this sadness…?”

“What nonsense are you talking about? Wait, this bitch…”

The men, who opened their eyes wide at me, grabbed their swords and rushed in. I set up a barrier at once, and the guys who hit the barrier flew away.

Behind them were the overpowered sailors.

In the center, there was a man in a robe held by the assailant, and he was obviously an old man, judging by his hand, which I could see through the sleeve of his robe.

‘Karim Grimoire.’

It must be the predecessor of Grimoire.

“Damn it! Attack!”

As the person holding him shouted, people with swords came out from all over the place.

They jumped into my barrier casually.

‘Are they crazy?’

I looked around firmly.

[It looks like a mosquito burned in an electric swatter….]

Isn’t it a waste of life to jump in regardless of the risk?

When I thought so, I was startled.

“It’s not a waste of life…”

[Child, what does that mean?]

“From the beginning, they were planning to die with the previous Duke of Grimoire.”

A big man approached me as if he were their leader.

“Everything is God’s will.”

His eyes were clouded as if possessed by something.

The temple must have used fanatics to decorate this event. In order to bury even the tiniest evidence that they bought it in the sea.

Just then,

Boom! There was a loud noise from below and the boat shook violently. The sailors screamed.

‘They exploded it to sink it!’

As I stumbled and fell without being able to focus, someone suddenly jumped into my barrier.

Crack!

A person who jumped into the barrier suffered a hideous burn and collapsed. And…

‘It’s pierced!’

The leader the group rushed to me. He pointed his sword at me. I quickly grabbed his wrist and tilted my head to avoid it.

The sword narrowly missed, but the etwal’s cord snapped on my neck.

Again, a sound was heard from under the boat. The boat swayed again, and the etwal slid all the way onto the deck.

“No!”

My etwal!

[Child!]

Fortunately, the etwal, which was rolling, got caught on the deck.

If the ship shakes once more, it may fall.

I wanted to pick it up quickly, but I couldn’t move because I was holding on to his wrist with all my might to avoid the sword.

“Stop it! It’s foolish to die for a false god!”

“Our God is not a lie. He said that if I give my soul to God, he will save my family. My son’s illness would be cured!”

‘Why isn’t the support unit coming?’

Dubblede’s finest mages would have definitely checked the coordinates, but why?

‘If the etwal is not far away, I can use their skill. Should I summon a ghost army? But if etwal falls during summoning……!’

Then if I use Pur’s power…… No, his power will become more dangerous if it brings out rainstorms.

The others are also not helpful in this situation.

I shouted at the man.

“If that’s true, there wouldn’t be a sick person! You’re being fooled!”

“The cardinal said the devil would whisper to me like that.”

“Wake up. If his father died to save his life, your son would have to live in guilt for the rest of his life!”

His hand flinched.

I didn’t miss the gap and showed off my kicking skills taught by Isaac.

The man burst into laughter as I ran towards the etwal in a hurry.

The man grabbed my collar and I was strangled.

My etwal was gradually escaping below the deck.

‘If that happens, I can’t do it.’

“Gremory!”

I shouted as I pulled out the passagd of Gremory, which I had in my arms.

Then, the world was engulfed in darkness. In Eventually, a light rose from my arms, and the light suddenly became the shape of a beautiful woman.

When the light faded, it was Gremory, a female devil with beautiful red hair and curly hair who appeared.

“Help me!”

“Hey, God’s contract is strict. Beings must grant the devil’s wish to receive our help. If not, you…”

She looked at me with terribly sad eyes, and I shouted.

“Do the contract!”

“…….”

“Not as a child of fate, but as a Leblaine Lisette Dubblede, I’ll sign with Gremory!”

At the moment, Gremory’s head turned into a branch. That peculiar-shaped branch belonged to the elsa tree.

The branches stretched out in an instant and penetrated the man’s chest that held me.

“Ugh…!”

With the groan, the man’s hands lost strength.

I shook off his hand at once and ran toward etwal. Then I managed to catch the etwal, which was hanging close to the deck.

I can hear the sounds of my thumping heart.

‘If the etwal disappeared…’

It was a terrible thing just thinking about it. When I was holding the etwal with both hands, the battle was in full swing behind my back.

The men rushed toward Gremory, and Gremory intertwined them with branches.

At that time, one of the men rushed toward me, but I couldn’t run away because my body was weak.

I closed my eyes tightly.

‘I’m dying…!’

No way. How could that happen?

I even signed a contract with the devil, but I’m dying!

‘We’ll see, Grimoire. I will never leave you alone when I come back.… Huh?

No matter how much time passed, I couldn’t feel the pain.

When I opened my eyes…

“Are you okay?”

A familiar man was blocking me.

This voice…

“Duke of Grimoire?”

“Are you okay?”

“Yes? Oh, it’s fine.”

Then he grabbed the man’s neck that had rushed to me with one hand and said,

“It won’t end with one or two arms, since you’ve dared to touch my blood.”

His blood?

What is he talking about?
