Episode 346 Chapter 61: Special Clan(5)

Special Clan(5)

"What is this now?"

A man with red hair.

The man known as 'Red Summer of June (赭夏六月)[Jeokha Yuwol] from the Twelve Moons let out a chuckle as he looked at Hong Biyeon. She still pointed her staff at him with a wary gaze.

This implied that she had nothing to do with the phenomenon that froze his wrist and soaked his hand. He couldn't detect any traces of other magic nearby.

"This energy... Ah, I see, another of the Twelve Moons is protecting you."

What's going on here?

Even Hong Biyeon had no idea why Red Summer's hand was frozen. The man stroked his chin with his other hand and then, as if realizing something, spoke.

"Ah, I see. It's not that the Twelve Moons are protecting you."

"...?"

"Someone loved by the Twelve Moons... must care for you deeply. That's why the residual power of nature is trying to protect you."

'Loved by the Twelve Moons...'

When it came to that person, there was only one individual in the world that came to mind.

As that thought crossed her mind, Hong Biyeon finally managed to move her stiff body.

"Hyaaah!"

As she lifted her staff high and began to swing it, Red Summer scoffed.

"Are you trying to use fire magic? That won't work on me, the master of fire—"

Whack!

Hong Biyeon swung her staff and slapped Red Summer across the face, then immediately turned and began to run.

For a moment, Red Summer, who had been slapped across the cheek, was so dumbfounded that he let out a hollow laugh.

It was the first time in a thousand years that a mage had dared to strike him with a staff.

Moreover, the fact that she was a descendant who had inherited the magic of Adolevit most strongly—it was beyond imagination.

"...Well, whatever."

Had it been so long since he last met a young human that he'd let his guard down and played around?

Crack!!

Ssshh...

When Red Summer lifted his frozen ankle, the ice that covered the entire Adolevit cemetery began to melt, turning into a lake with a hissing sound.

"Ugh...!"

As the ice on which she had been running melted, Hong Biyeon couldn't help but stumble forward. She quickly infused mana into the soles of her feet to stand on the water and tried to run again.

"Where do you think you're going?"

Red Summer was already blocking her path ahead.

Without panicking, she turned to flee in the opposite direction.

Whoosh!

"Ugh...!"

A giant wall of fire rose, blocking Hong Biyeon's escape.

Splash!

As Hong Biyeon, who had fallen backward, stared blankly at the flames, Red Summer let out a sigh.

"Let's stop this meaningless game of tag. I'm running out of time too."

Splash, splash!

Red Summer slowly walked across the lake that had formed in the cemetery, approaching Hong Biyeon.
