True Hogul (3)

When I tasted the pain I felt for the first time in my life, what came to my mind was not the feelings of regret, but the memories of my childhood.

When I was young, I once sprayed freshly brewed steaming tea on the face of a user out of curiosity.

I remember the user who got the tea, screaming horribly, grabbing his red-hot face and writhing like worms.

Did your mother stop you when you tried to put your finger in the tea that was still left over because it was so painful?

I felt the pain that the user would have felt at that time with my whole body, and it was only now that a long time had passed that I could understand a little of her pain.

“Big!! W, heat block!!!”

Thinking about the pain she must have felt then, I felt a little guilty, but now is not the time to be immersed in those feelings.

When I hurriedly activated the basic magic I learned at the academy for the first time, a transparent membrane wrapped around my body, preventing the heat from hitting my body.

However, this magic was not able to completely block the heat, it only cut off the temperature enough to withstand it.

‘It’s hot… !! However… .’

The maximum water temperature is 100 degrees. It was comforting to know that the temperature would not rise any further than this.

‘I don’t have enough time to cover the magic range with my whole body… .’

Therefore, he tried to reduce the mana consumption by reducing the magic range, but the moment the curtain was closed, the steam filled with heat heated his body.

“Ahhhh!!”

As the pain that seemed to ripen came rushing in, I spread the magic I had reflexively collected on my upper body again.

I heard the same scream from next to me, so I turned my head to see that my mother had made the same mistake as me, holding her cheeks and crying.

“hahahaha!!!!”

I frowned at the vulgar laughter of the young people from outside.

Those children… Dare to laugh at the lowly things that I had never seen before… !!

If you go out, you will definitely get revenge. There is one reason why you must live here.

‘I can’t dispel magic, so I’d rather lower the effect of the magic… !!’

To survive here, magic to block the heat is essential, but if you keep going in this state, you won’t be able to survive for an hour.

“Ahh… !!”

As I lowered the heat shield magic to a level that could barely withstand the effect, a scream escaped my mouth involuntarily.

hot. It was not unbearable, but the pain was enough to cause suffering, and the body continued to heat up.

‘An hour in this state?!’

When I saw the hourglass floating in the sky thinking that it was absolutely impossible, the hand that was holding the staff began to tremble in despair.

I thought it would have been at least a minute, if not five minutes… .

In the empty part of the hourglass, there was only a handful of sand, small enough to fit into a baby’s hand.

When I said that the amount of sand on the top was 60 minutes, I felt like my legs would loosen up when I saw the amount of sand that lasted about 10 seconds.

“Sah, it’s a scam… .”

“yes?”

The man responded to the words spit out with an unhappy heart. The man, who had been standing on the podium with an uninteresting expression on his face, asked in a blunt tone.

“What is a scam?”

“Hey, that hourglass!! Why didn’t it just fall off?! It must have been a few minutes already!!!”

“It’s stupid… Do you think I’d be able to tell such a frivolous lie? I swear by baldancing, I didn’t do anything like that to that hourglass.”

“What kind of bullshit… .”

“What Prince Ian said is true. In the first place, where there are so many eyes, there’s no way you’d use such an obvious trick.”

When the man who looked like a magic swordsman sitting next to him and the nobles watching from above said that there was no such thing, he had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.

‘Are you really running in time?’

We couldn’t believe it when we looked at the hourglass falling so slowly that we yawned, so our eyes were set on the hourglass floating in the sky.

It was around the time when the sand had accumulated quite a bit. When I lifted my leg in excruciating pain, I found a large blister on my red, ripe leg.

“Ugh… !!”

Even though the time had not passed yet, it gave me goosebumps just imagining what my body would look like in an hour.

When you are enduring painful times by relying only on the hourglass that falls down little by little.

When the lower part of the hourglass was exactly half full, the swastika, which looked like a magic swordsman who opened its mouth earlier, shouted out loudly.

“Now 30 minutes have passed!!!”

“What?!”

When the man shouted, not only Young-min, but also the nobles who were watching from above gave a single mouthful of regret.

However, only our mother and daughter, who are the parties to the punishment, smiled at the fact that half the time had already passed.

In the next half of the year, you can survive this hell. In this desperate situation, I felt like I was seen as something that could only be called hope.

“Mom… !!!”

“yes!!”

When I called my mother, who was trembling with joy like me, next to me, my mother answered with a smile.

However, the man who had been staring at the cauldron for a long time, as if trampling on the bud of hope that had just sprouted, opened his mouth.

“Is the water significantly reduced?”

As the saying goes, 30 minutes had passed, and the water that had risen to the waist was only left in the middle of the thigh.

“If it’s less, you have to fill it up… .”

When the man clapped his hand to give a signal, the magic swordsmen who were waiting next to him brought a cauldron in which something was boiling with magic.

“uh? uh… … ?”

Hearing the sizzling sound different from when the water boils, everyone in this room, including myself, immediately noticed what was in the cauldron.

While the square was enveloped in cheers again, our mother and daughter saw the cauldron filled with boiling oil and felt a chill rush through their bodies.

“Oh, that’s water–!!”

“Did I ever say I only do it with water?”

When the man gave the signal, the cauldron of oil rose high and tilted to the side and poured into our cauldron.

Hundreds of degrees Celsius of oil, boiling oil, and water created an enormous amount of water vapor overtook us.

“aah!!!”

******

“… … Did you do it?”

As he chanted the spell to resurrect the dead, he could see the mother of the mother and daughter standing through the steam to see how effective it was.

However, it was evident that he had suffered serious burns all over his body, as if he could not be healthy without any wounds.

‘… My daughter was glamorous.’

Unlike her mother, she accidentally released the magic due to the tremendous heat that exceeded her expectations.

After dispelling the magic, she must have collapsed without being able to withstand the enormous amount of heat.

As if to prove that my hypothesis was correct, the body of the daughter’s side, who had collapsed without being able to withstand the heat, was floating on the surface of the water.

“ah… ! AA AA AA… !!!”

“yes?”

As she looked towards her mother at a sudden scream, she saw her daughter’s corpse and screamed and looked at her with bloodshot eyes.

No one dared to laugh at that maddening appearance, and when she was rigid, the mother, who was staring at her daughter’s body like a madman, moved.

“Ugh profit!!”

Grabbing the glowing cauldron and using magic to jump high, she climbed onto the podium at once.

Then everyone understood the situation and stepped forward to stop her, but I beckoned them to no need and bit them.

“Are you sad that you lost your daughter?”

“die!! Die!!”

Crazed by sadness and anger, she shoots magic at me at random, but most of them fail to hit me and fly towards a wall or the sky.

I turned my body lightly to avoid the magic, and as I moved forward, I immediately met her.

“The mother of the husband you killed! And the mother of the husband your daughter killed must have had the same feelings as you now!!”

“What do you know about that?! You must die soon!”

“Yeah, I don’t know!”

As she uttered a spell, concentrating on all her magical powers, a flame thick like the blood she was spilling rose.

The cursed flame changed its shape into an arrow and flew towards me with a force that would burn my entire body.

“Suck!!”

After cutting the flame with a nanga, I went forward as it was, and cut the pompong mother, who was gasping for breath with the recoil that fired the magic.

“Ah, ah… !!”

With a short shriek, the body of the mother, which was cut vertically, collapsed and fell into the cauldron under the pedestal.

Perhaps because her body had been soaked in oil, her body, which had fallen into the cauldron, instantly burned and turned black.

Watching the scene, I returned Nanga to its scabbard and shouted at the young people and nobles who had hardened as if they had been struck by petrification magic.

“… You are a non-virgin who deserves to be ripped off!!”

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the truth of life, and the nobles as well as the young people began to cheer and cheer as one.

“Ahhh!! Savior!!!”

“hey!! Cover women’s eyes!! Fall in love with the Savior!!”

“What, that’s cool… ♡”

… … Pompong mother and daughter, but these bastards are not normal.

*****

“It should be ripped… .”

Reat at readwn.com

Marina bit her lip as if she couldn’t speak at all as she was holding the words that spread throughout the estate.

“Anyway, did you mean that everyone really cheered and liked it when they heard those vulgar words?!”

“yes… . To be honest, I was prepared to be insulted, but… . I think a lot has accumulated over that time.”

“Oh God… .”

Upon returning to the mansion after the execution of the pongpong mother and daughter, Marina frowned upon hearing about what had happened in the square.

“… Well, it must have been more than half of the girls’ fault for such a reaction. If I had committed such a crime in the first place and behaved properly, this would not have happened.”

As they said, it was no exaggeration to say that their end was their own.

If they had behaved properly in the first place, even if I said I would execute them, the nobles and commoners would have come forward to protect them.

However, considering that no nobles, let alone Youngmin, had made a petition for them, it was no exaggeration to say that this result was brought about by them.

“By the way, this has made Student Ian’s name spread throughout the kingdom. Because not only the royal family, but also influential nobles from all over the world must have known of Lee Ahn’s existence.”

“Yes, it is. And with this incident, my name would have spread not only in the Yang, but also in the shade.”

Even the possessors who stood by in the shadows without going into history would have noticed my existence through this incident.

‘I’m sure I’ll send someone sooner or later. No, are you here already? .’

A faint pretense of popularity that you can feel from the ceiling. Marina, not a swordsman, didn’t seem to be able to feel it, but I could feel it after learning the martial arts.

“Hmm… .”

I got up from my seat, pulled Nang-a off her waist, and tapped the ceiling.

“Hey, you bastard over there. If you don’t turn it off quickly, it will kill you.”

“… Student Ian?”

The owner of the popular chuck didn’t move, thinking he was just floating around, and he kept his seat.

Reluctantly, when he placed his hand on Nang-a’s hilt, the spy sensed the threat and left the ceiling with a rattling sound.

“Wow, what… !!!”

When someone hiding in the ceiling hurriedly left the seat, Marina jumped up and aimed the staff towards the ceiling, but the popularity had already disappeared completely.

“Since when have you been here? .”

“… I do not know. Seeing that it didn’t exist before Penghyeong, I think he came in when he vacated the mansion… .”

The possibility that it existed even before we entered the mansion cannot be ruled out.

“… … Seeing that he was hiding directly from the ceiling without using any magic, it is highly unlikely that he and the enemy who broke into the academy last time are on the same side.”

“… That’s it. Ganryu was a samurai, so maybe some ninja came this time?”
