There Is No Spring in the Stolen Field

4. unique magic

The entrance to the village arrived by carriage along a long winding mountain road.

Humming a song in the carriage without knowing anything, I came out at the coachman’s call.

“Hero… that… we’ve arrived…? Are you sure it’s here?”

It was clear that the scenery outside the window was the way home.

“Yes! Is that right?”

The coachman looked at me with a troubled expression, and I wondered what was wrong, so I looked toward the entrance.

The village… was erased from the kingdom.

To be precise, only the site remained, but no trace of a living person could be found.

Fragments of houses burnt down by fire, and chunks presumably of corpses.

I couldn’t stand the rising nausea.

I turned my back to the coachman who was talking to me and trudged into the village.

It was like a nightmare to see the spaces filled with memories of childhood shattered and leaving only remnants.

Mom… Dad… Yuwol-ah…!

I walked absentmindedly and ran toward my house on the outskirts of town.

I was able to run incomparably faster than before due to a long period of training, but

I don’t think I’ve ever run this fast, even during training.

arrived in front of the house.

Our house must have been more relaxed than inside the village, only scorched marks remained. The shape remained.

However, it would have been better to have turned to ashes and disappeared in the wind.

Of course, even though it was burned and damaged here and there, there were clearly hanging things that hadn’t been there before on the walls inside the house.

human skull. I knew very well who they belonged to, even when they were separated from the body.

mom. dad.

I flopped down.

Tears flowed. I wanted to scream, but nothing came out of my mouth.

thoughts soon after. Yu-Wol-ah…! Yu-Wol, too…?

Anxiety crept through my body.

I don’t know if it’s fortunate or unfortunate, but the bodies found inside the house were two bodies that were presumed to be those of my parents.

I asked the coachman to help bury the body with me.

He agreed with a trembling expression, and I didn’t care if the dress was messed up, and I collected all the corpses that could be rectified.

After burying all the unknown bodies in the back mountain. I stood in front of my parents’ graves.

“Mom. Dad. Yoowol-ah… I will definitely take revenge…”

I already figured out who did this atrocity.

In front of the village chief’s house, despite the fact that a long time had passed, a strong demonic energy was felt.

And above all. The pattern left on the floor was clearly what I had learned.

A pattern that looks like two overlapping half moons given to the second person in the underworld.

The fear, the pain, no matter what.

In the future, I will never let any demons that get caught in me live.

And you who hurt my family will never die in peace.

Dismember them, cut their parents’ throats, and hang them up.

Then you too will be able to close your eyes comfortably… Yuwol-ah…

Three years have passed since I trained under Master.

At the age of 20, I became more suitable for the title of a young man than a boy.

I grew a lot taller, and my shoulders broadened. And of course, due to repeated training, it became a strong body shape.

And Luna also became closer to a beautiful lady than a pretty girl.

we were always together For the past three years, most of our waking hours 24 hours a day have been together.

Studying that wasn’t fun, fighting sparring with Yan, and the occasional magic lecture given by Master.

Having become accustomed to life here and Luna, I sometimes forgot that I was human.

Master and Luna’s ‘we’ meant the demons, but that ‘we’ always included me.

And I also came to accept it naturally, so there was no sense of incongruity at all.

Luna, who I’ve seen so far, was a very picky person, but now, after a lot of time, she’s a more comfortable partner than anyone else.

And although Luna also disapproved of me in the beginning, it became an atmosphere where she bonded over me and acknowledged me as her partner.

Nonetheless, her overpowering looks sometimes made me blush at my age.

And since she’s been strangely s*xual these days, I’ve been staring at her from time to time and have been caught by her a few times.

“Sirius… tell me honestly, did you see me secretly again?”

In fact, it was stingy, but, as always, I pretended not to be.

“What are you talking about? You know that’s hyper-conscious, right?”

She sat cross-legged as if it were funny and mocked me again.

“If you’re this pretty, it’s worth looking at~ I know~ It’s because I’m pretty~”

Then, she came closer to me and smiled as she slightly lifted the cleavage of her dress.

“Hey~ I don’t think it would have mattered if I showed you a little more if I was being honest~”

I didn’t even want to show it, so I’m just like that again.

Still, I was busy looking for a place to focus my eyes, losing where to go despite her lousy provocation.

Trying to change the subject, I brought up the story of the ceremony we are going to perform today.

“What is my unique magic? Luna”

unique magic.

It is an unfamiliar concept in the human world, and I learned that those who can realize it are only a few who have reached the extreme of magic.

However, most demons, especially high-ranking demons, can be implemented one by one,

And it is safe to say that the ranks of high-ranking demons are divided by this unique magic.

It is said that each type of unique magic varies greatly in power and type depending on the user.

That’s why I heard the explanation that most demons do not reveal their unique magic unless it is absolutely necessary.

After learning all the basic magic courses and combat application courses for 3 years, I heard that we are finally at a level where we can explore unique magic today.

“Well… you’re not without talent, so won’t something good come out?”

It was true.

Although I speak with my own mouth, I learned that I have overwhelming magical talent among humans.

Being able to compete with Yan, a high-ranking demon tribe, in three years was a story that in the human world, it was said that it would have remained even after hearing the voice of a magical genius that would go down in history.

Of course, Luna, who has the blood of the Demon King, is defeated. And to Master, honestly, even if I practiced for another 30 years, it seemed that I would not be able to win.

Because none of my magic could touch the collar of my teacher, and I went back to nothing on the spot.

“Hmm… Personally, I’d like it to be a wide-area attack magic, but…”

In fact, I could still use wide-area attack magic, but it was my judgment that I couldn’t break through Seria and the people around her with this level.

That’s right, mankind’s strongest warriors will be waiting for them.

At the back of Amelia’s castle, there was a vast vacant lot.

This place has always been a training ground for us to practice magic, and a new magic testing ground for Master.

Me and Luna were waiting in the middle of the clearing at the appointed time.

Master walked out slowly from the back with the same appearance as always.

Of course, three years must have been nothing to her as a demon, but she really didn’t change at all from the day she first met me.

The day I couldn’t overcome my curiosity and asked her age. I remembered the rain of water pouring down on me.

“It’s the day when I finally see my disciples taking on human roles.”

As usual, she turned her parasol around and smiled.

“Okay. So, who do you want to start with?”

In an instant, Luna’s and mine’s eyes met.

I’m guessing you should start with you, but that’s the same here.

Since there were only two people, it was a structure that could not help but be compared.

In that context, asking Luna to do it first in front of Luna, the daughter of the demon king, is no different from asking her to act like a clown.

Master, of course, was not the one who looked out for such a situation.

“Sirius. Let’s start with you.”

I thought he would be a little more merciful today, but he didn’t dare.

“yes…!”

I’ve done normal magic demonstrations hundreds of times in front of Master, but this time I was very nervous because I didn’t know what was going to happen.

“Don’t be nervous, take a deep breath. And remember. Inherent magic is like what your soul craves most.”

What my soul longs for most. Even I don’t know. I had never really thought about it.

Master nodded, and a very complex-looking magic circle formed in front of me and began to emit light.

The feeling of having magic forcibly manifested by others was not such a good feeling.

It felt like something inside me was forcibly pulling my hair out.

Around me, huge streams of magical power coiled around me like a gust of wind.

And the magical power that continued to circulate in the form of a spiral soon calmed down.

Is it wind magic? I wanted to, but in terms of robbery, this was a magic robbery that was really useful for people who had just started magic.

Is this the end? no really?

I was dumbfounded. Even so, the unique magics of the great wizards and the supreme demons often had abilities beyond imagination.

Summoning meteorites, reversing time, and many other ridiculously famous abilities, but the wind to the point of fanning…

It was downright frustrating.

My face was frowning, unable to hide my disappointment. Even though Luna and Master were in front of her.

In the midst of silence, Luna suddenly trembled and opened her mouth.

“You… what did you do to me?”

Me…?
