"If I deny this, I'm afraid you won't believe it."

On the ground, although he was still being beaten, Harwick, who had barely adapted to it, said such things. After that, the mage took advantage of the beating to ask a few more questions.

"What did you mean when you said my secret? That primordial magic? Did you sacrifice all your men's lives to achieve this effect? ”

"Nonsense!" Duke Lucil roared at him. "How can it be necessary to sacrifice all of them against you? Originally, a dozen people were enough! ”

"That's unfortunate..... Halwick said as he was knocked into the air.

"Just sacrifice a dozen people, and the energy generated is enough to overwhelm you! Outcome... And they all died! My people! My people! ”

"A dozen people? That doesn't necessarily overwhelm me. Moreover, I have mastered the primordial magic, so you are not afraid that I have the means to target this magic? Harwick, who was still being beaten, said.

"Don't compare my power to your tiny magic!" The Duke roared.

"That is, you made improvements."

Halwick eased slightly, and continued. "Primordial magic is self-sacrifice, and your approach is to sacrifice the lives of your subordinates, those who are loyal to you, --- their lives, to gain short-term power."

"This kind of thing is addictive. I think your men must have done a lot of experiments inside the Lucil family to get this effect..."

"There will definitely be subordinates who are loyal to you, but is everyone really that loyal to you? Did you use some other means in the course of your experiment? ”

"Beat him!" The Duke shouted. "Beat him up!"

The virtual figures around Harwick, as if they could understand the Duke's words, suddenly sped up.

For a moment, the great magician's body was beaten up and down.

The gray robe on his body was torn into countless pieces, and the wand in his hand was also broken into several pieces. After that, the bones were broken in some places and broken in others.

After beating him for a while, some of the phantoms vanished. For those that haven't disappeared, the frequency of attacks has slowed down again. Only then did Halwick speak again.

"You've never used this spell in battle against beasts."

"That's right, because it's just for you!" The Duke walked up to Halwick and said fiercely. "You may have hundreds or thousands of magics, but they are of no use to it!"

"I think you were going to use it against other families." Halwick said. "Because, at that time, I was just an ordinary mage. You shouldn't have noticed me when you studied this magic. ”

"Anyway, when the time comes, find a fool who is willing to die for you, and then blackmail other families when they are in trouble, or threaten them when they don't know the current affairs--- can make them agree to your conditions, so that you can reach the pinnacle of power."

"yes." The Duke looked at Halwick. "If it weren't for you, the balance of power within the kingdom would have been upset, and things might have turned out like that."

"Didn't you think then I might have a hole in my magic report?"

Halwick, who was beaten and was dying, suddenly said something like this. As he said this, the golden light on his body suddenly converged into a bundle, forming the shape of a spear, and stabbed at the skull of Duke Lucier in front of him.

The duke's sword revealed the image of a soldier, and he raised his shield to block the spear, and then the shadow disappeared. But after that, more than a dozen golden spears formed above and on the side of the duke, and they stabbed at the duke's body together.

A dozen or so virtual images of soldiers and officers emerged from the swords, blocking the spears with their bodies and shields, respectively. The Duke looked at them, swung his sword, and slashed at Halwick not far away, but when the sword landed, it slashed into the air.

"Is this a trap?" The Duke looked at Halwick, who was staggering in the distance, still covered in wounds. "You deliberately didn't run away?"

"Even then, it didn't kill you." Halwick said.

"You're ruthless." The duke's tone became serious, and he solemnly raised the sword in his hand. "Deliberately endured such a long attack, pretending to be powerless to fight back, just to kill me? Was it prepared for a long time, or was it decided to do it on the fly? ”

"Guess?"

As he spoke, a yellow light flashed through his body. For a moment, many of the wounds on his bones healed, and then, a new gray robe appeared on his body, and a new wand appeared in his hand.

"I'm guessing you're trying to make me proud and then tell me what you attack. Hahahaha! The Duke laughed. Now you know, but is there a way to resist it? ”

"Are your subordinates really willing to sacrifice for you?"

Harwick didn't answer the duke's question, and continued the conversation from the previous one.

"Didn't they follow you into battle for victory and glory? Isn't it for the sake of pursuing the benefits that come after victory? In the pursuit of these, they may die--- which is a necessary price. But to say that they are willing to die for you under any circumstances is nonsense. ”

"So what?" The Duke shouted. "If it weren't for you... If it weren't for your drastic, even insane, tactics, we would have won! It's all your fault! ”

"Really?" Halwick looked at the Duke. "Shouldn't you be blamed?"

"What did you say?!"

The duke shouted like this, and with a swing of his sword, dozens of illusory figures of soldiers appeared.

"Unleash your most powerful magic! Otherwise, you won't stand a chance! ”

"You don't need any powerful magic to deal with you, a little magic is enough."

As he spoke, Halwick waved his wand, and dozens of plumes rose from his side.

After a short period of time, the smoke took on the shape of a human and rushed towards the virtual figure of the soldier on the opposite side. And after contact, they did not resist in the face of the soldier's slash, but allowed the opponent's long sword to slash and stab into their bodies.

After that, the smokers turned into smoke again, enveloping the phantom of the soldier who came out of the sword and trapped there.

"You should be blamed for the death of your soldiers."
