Overpowered Archmage Doesn't Hide His Talent-Chapter 174:
Chapter 174:
Chapter 174 I can do it until you stop breathing.
Aurora tried to calmly assess the situation.
But it was not easy.
As soon as the crimson barrier was created, explosions erupted from all directions, turning everything in sight into a battlefield.
Bang! Bang!
The fangs and weapons of the bloodhounds clashed, making loud noises.
Aurora was caught off guard by the unexpected situation.
Beep.
A terrible ringing and pain assaulted her.
She felt like she was going blind, like her head was going to explode.
This was the fatal drawback of her talent.
She saw the results of the changing futures of the people around her in real time before her eyes.
She accepted even the slightest changes. But there was a reason why Aurora was holding her head and groaning right now.
“Damn it…”
All she felt was discomfort.
There was no exception to the future that Aurora observed. She had been watching the futures of the soldiers as well, so she should have known beforehand that this would happen.
But.
‘It didn’t show.’
Aurora had never seen the negative futures of the soldiers.
It was absurd.
She had never had a problem with her ability before.
The headache seemed to get worse with the unprecedented event.
The crimson boundary that trapped Aurora and the soldiers was not very wide.
At most, it was the size of the stadium in the magic department, where the soldiers’ stomachs were torn one by one and the bloodhounds began to show themselves.
“The princess is the priority!”
“Fall back!”
Of course, the soldiers did their best.
They willingly threw themselves and fought against the enemy for her, the princess.
If it weren’t for them, she would have been in danger.
Aurora wanted to observe their futures more clearly.
Was the end of this fight survival or death?
But even that was gradually darkening and becoming invisible.
“Show me…”
Aurora muttered as she put her hand on her left eye.
The headache was so severe that she couldn’t even open her left eye.
She realized that the concept of ‘guessing the future’ was absent in her life.
She had always seen it, and always judged based on it.
It had always been like that.
“Show me…”
As she repeated the words like a prayer, a faint image of someone flashed in her mind.
The insolent person who had made her come all the way here.
The mage, Flan.
Looking back, he had never been observed.
That was the reason why Aurora had started to take interest in Flan in the first place.
“Then…”
Did that mean that the reason why she couldn’t observe any future right now was because Flan was at the end of this situation?
At first, it was just a fleeting thought. But the more she thought about it, the more the speculation gained strength.
There was no other reason, no matter how hard she thought.
“…”
She felt a complex emotion with that short fact.
She took out a hand mirror from her bosom and looked at it, but it was the same.
She couldn’t see her own future either.
In the end, he was boldly in her future as well. But in the midst of that, another thought began to rise in her mind.
Did that mean she had to deal with it without her ability from now on?
She felt suffocated as her thoughts reached that point.
A fallen genius was worse than an ordinary person.
Ordinary people were used to living by guessing the future, but Aurora had no such experience at all.
It was a disaster.
After leaving the underground, Aurora had not trusted anyone.
The future did not lie, so she had moved forward based on that.
But if she couldn’t see the future, if she had to move forward by predicting the opaque future…
She wouldn’t feel as awkward and uncomfortable as if she suddenly lost her arms and legs.
Aurora, who was caught up in a complicated emotion, was pulled out by Ban’s shout.
“Princess, you have to move right now!”
Ban’s face was more urgent and serious than ever. He had no trace of the hesitation he had shown when Aurora asked him questions.
Aurora had no choice but to nod her head first.
The crimson barrier limited her range of activity, but there must have been an optimal position.
“I’ll move as close to the barrier as possible. As soon as the barrier is broken, we can meet our allies.”
“…”
Aurora’s gaze went beyond the barrier for a moment, to the center of the Reheln Hill.
The participants of the gathering were still there.
“Princess!”
But Ban shouted again.
“If something happens to the princess, the people of the empire will lose their master. Hurry…!”
The faces of the soldiers around him who heard the shout were no different.
They were all loyal to Aurora, and there was nothing more important to them than the life of the second princess.
Grrr!
Then a bloodhound rushed at Aurora’s neck with a sharp bite.
Ban quickly blocked it, and again, he was stabbed and blood splattered everywhere.
She was the one who held the gathering, she was the one who broke the barrier as if to show off, she was the one who didn’t see the future properly.
But not a single soldier blamed her.
It was too confusing. Confusion, fear… She felt like she was feeling things that she had vowed not to feel.
“Damn it…”
Aurora tore at her own head.
But the situation was still urgent.
The number of bloodhounds was increasing due to the terror that emanated from the barrier that trapped the royal figures.
“…”
One of the elves stood up and grabbed a staff. But he was not in good shape.
He was a morgul, bleeding from various wounds and scratches.
The elf with sharp eyes. Flan somehow knew her name.
“Terry. Was that your name?”
The elf who came to demand an apology right after the orientation.
The elf who had no manners. It was her.
Flan spoke briefly.
“Leave. You’re in the way.”
Terry hesitated, but eventually accepted. It was the situation, and Flan’s mood was not one to argue with.
“…”
As Terry nodded silently and turned away, another elf approached Flan and whispered softly.
“Please understand. Terry, he got scolded by Perien all day. Really, all day long…”
Perien was the elf who had a bandage in her mouth.
Flan remembered that he had told Perien about Terry.
It seemed to have some effect.
After sending the elves away,
Flan headed towards the barrier that held the royal figures.
He was not far away now.
At that moment,
A red aura flared up.
As if guarding the barrier, a Vampire in human form appeared, holding a leash in his hand.
“We meet again~”
The one who looked like a girl, he felt familiar somehow.
He was the one he had encountered at the ballroom.
“I told you then, didn’t I? I’ll see you later.”
The girl sneered and pulled the leash.
The leash was attached to a strange man, who swallowed the terror and spat out bloodhounds from his mouth.
“This time, I came with my real body, not a clone.”
The girl vampire smiled.
“So, it won’t be like last time. You can’t kill me, no matter what you do.”
As she said, the real body in front of him looked much more formidable than the clone he had faced before.
He had an immense life force, as if he was an immortal being.
In other words, he could not bring down the Vampire with the level of ‘death’ that he knew.
And the vampire seemed to know that very well.
“You can’t kill me.”
Flan concentrated quietly.
The next moment.
Bang!
The girl Vampire’s head exploded.
In front of the body that lost its head and staggered, he muttered.
“Don’t worry too much.”
Then, a flash of light came from his eyes.
“I can do it until you stop breathing.”
After all, his only interest was meeting Aurora.
