Reborn as the Head of the Stolen Mage Family Chapter 107 : Chapter 107

Chapter 107

Fwoooooosh-!

A fla, spreading like a wildfire, appeared in front of Eddie.

It was the fla of summoning.

Summoned from the fla were five rcuries in black attire.

The one who had blocked Veno’s strike was the sword brandished by one of them, the knight ‘Cora’.

Kagaak…!

Sparks flew as the swords of the two knights clashed.

Veno was flustered by the sudden appearance of the unidentified individuals, but he soon put more strength into his sword.

However, Cora was not pushed back at all.

No, it wasn't just that she wasn't pushed back.

Clank-!

Cora, with her lower body firmly planted, repelled Veno with her strength.

Kaaang-!

“Ugh…!”

At the imnse strength, Veno let out a faint groan and was pushed back.

He glared at Cora and the others with eyes mixed with bewildernt and anger.

They were dressed in black, with their faces covered.

They were now surrounding Eddie and assuming full combat stances.

Two of the five were knights with swords, the other three were magicians with wands.

Their identities were unknown, but it was clear that they were reinforcents who had appeared to save Eddie.

And that the knight who had faced him possessed considerable martial skill.

Veno glared at Cora, recalling the still-tingling sensation in his hand.

Although it was a brief exchange, he could certainly feel his skill.

‘If we were to fight seriously, he has the skill to continue the exchange with for a while.’

If one of them was like that, it was likely that the other knight who ca with him also possessed similar martial skill.

The magicians who ca with them would also be skilled enough to coordinate with them without any problems.

Subduing Eddie, at the very least, had beco impossible without suffering losses.

“Keuk…”

Veno glared at Eddie.

Had he been buying ti from the start with the intention of calling reinforcents?

He regretted not having been able to subdue him readily, being pressed by Eddie’s golden-glowing montum.

But he couldn't hesitate any longer.

No matter what the situation was, Furas' order to subdue Eddie remained unchanged.

Veno tensed his neck to order the knights to attack.

But before he could, Daz opened his mouth.

“I will convey the will of my master!”

Daz’s disciplined voice echoed.

His tone was polite yet intimidating.

“Eddie Sumrson is no longer a tail of your esteed family, so Kirhausen, let him go now!”

As if speaking as a vassal of a great power, Daz pressed them not to ignore the existence of himself and his comrades.

At his shout, Veno flinched.

And Daz, riding the montum, poked at Kirhausen’s weakness.

“Do you intend to let the whole world know that the great family of Kirhausen is going to such lengths to catch a single tail?!”

“……”

“If you wish to do so, we will gladly comply with that choice!”

Clank-!

As soon as Daz uttered the last sentence, the other four rcuries drew upon their power.

The knights of Kirhausen, including Veno, flinched and gripped their weapons.

A short while later, Eddie, who had been keeping his eyes closed, opened them and observed the situation with his own eyes.

‘Hoo…’

The effect of the psychological warfare waged by Daz was considerable.

The knights were quite surprised and agitated, and the commanders were also trying hard to hide their flustered expressions.

Even Furas, who had been silently glaring at them, showed a subtle change in his expression.

Eddie clenched his two fists in satisfaction.

This was exactly why Daz was the field leader.

As soon as he was summoned, he had grasped that Eddie’s condition was worse than expected.

So, he had waged a bold psychological warfare to make Furas decide to let Eddie go as quickly as possible.

Of course, if the concealnt barrier was broken, their side would also suffer so damage.

But it was not as much damage as Kirhausen would suffer, whose family prestige would plumt and whose intentions to capture Eddie would be questioned.

Therefore, Kirhausen would not be able to take Daz’s words lightly now.

Eddie turned his head and t Furas' gaze.

His eyes, which had never shown intense emotion, were now glowing brilliantly with overflowing anger.

The reason Furas was so angry was not just because of the appearance of the rcuries.

It was because of the shocking facts he had confird along with their appearance.

Edmund’s secret arts, which had been stored in a separate dinsion, had been stolen.

And the secret arts had been released from their seals and handed over to Eddie’s backers.

The summoning circle in the sky, which Furas had confird a little while ago, was the proof.

A characteristic summoning circle with a geotric shape densely packed inside a circular border, unlike ordinary summoning circles.

Furas knew all too well that the summoning circle belonged to Ademobir.

He had studied it diligently, looking forward to the day he would be able to use Edmund’s secret arts.

And yet.

He had been waiting for the seals to be released.

And the intruders were using those secret arts as if to show off.

Furas looked at Daz with murderous eyes.

No, to be precise, he looked at the monocle he was wearing, Caliptus' Eye.

He could feel the overflowing anger.

And he couldn't believe it.

How on earth did the secret arts that were in a separate dinsion co out into the world?

Even he, the head of the Kirhausen family, had not been able to touch them because the seals were not released.

Creak-

A vein popped on the back of Furas' hand that was holding the wand.

His gaze soon shifted from Daz to Eddie.

He didn't know ‘how’ the secret arts were stolen, but it was clear ‘who’ had stolen them.

Eddie Sumrson. That bastard was the culprit.

Wouldn't he know just by seeing that the ones who ca to save him were using the secret arts?

So, what he needed to know was how the culprit, Eddie, had done this and at whose instigation.

He had no way of knowing ‘how’ for now.

He had a guess as to whose instigation it was, but it wasn't certain now that he had confird the composition of the intruders.

This was as Leodimir had intended.

To compose the rcuries with various mana users, not just magicians, so that Furas could not easily guess the mastermind.

Furas still didn't know about Leodimir’s private army, the rcuries.

He had guessed that he had a private army, but he had assud it would be centered on magicians.

But with a composition like this now?

‘A magician, a knight, and even a summoner. If the abilities of all three specializations are mobilized…’

He couldn't help but suspect that Eddie’s backers were not only Leodimir, but also several others outside the magical world.

‘Or a powerful force like Penrose that can mobilize all types of ability users.’

Crack-

Furas gritted his teeth.

Daz continued to press him, as if to urge him on.

Confusion.

Furas' most hated state.

Confusion causes hesitation, and hesitation creates an appearance that is easy for the opponent to look down upon.

He had already been one-upped by an orphan who had co to steal secret arts.

He would rather die than have the head of the Kirhausen family be looked down upon any further.

Furas made a decision.

“Commander Schulte.”

Furas' high-handed voice was directed at Veno.

Veno imdiately turned to Furas and answered loudly.

“Yes, my Lord!”

“Have the knights fall back and make way for Eddie Sumrson to leave.”

“…Yes?”

“Do I have to command you twice?”

“N-no. But…”

Veno looked at Furas, unable to hide his bewildernt.

An order to retreat, not an order to subdue him at the risk of their lives.

Veno hesitated, unable to understand the command.

His brain did not rotate as fast as Furas' or Eddie’s.

Moreover, he was only thinking about subduing Eddie and achieving rit, so he felt regret at Furas' retreat order and hesitated even more.

And the more Veno hesitated, the greater Furas' anger grew.

In the end, Dwayne stepped forward in Veno’s place and carried out the order.

“All n! Sheathe your weapons and retreat five paces!”

At Dwayne’s resounding command, the knights simultaneously sheathed their weapons and retreated.

The knights also read the situation and moved as Dwayne had commanded.

Clank-!

Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump-

The knights who had been surrounding Eddie and the rcuries retreated.

A space was created, just enough to clearly distinguish the summon targets.

Furas' command to make way for him to leave was not to clear a path to the main gate.

It was to create a space for the summoning circle to be activated, since he seed to be planning to leave by summoning anyway.

Dwayne understood this correctly and moved the knights.

Paaaaaaaaat-!

Finally, the summoning circle in the sky emitted light.

It was about to transport Eddie and the rcuries as had been set up beforehand.

Eddie was finally able to relax a little.

The operation was successful in every aspect.

He had proven his family’s corruption to Marcel and put a stop to his life as a tail without any major conflicts.

Now, all he had to do was go back, think about how to coax the shocked Marcel, and establish a plan to investigate Tuksen.

“Ugh…”

As the tension eased, the pain ran wild again.

Planning was good, but he thought he should rest a bit first when he got back, and Eddie clutched his side.

And the next mont.

Kwajijijijijik-!!!

An attack magic in the form of black lightning flew towards Eddie’s head.

It was the 9-star attack magic, ‘Virgamut,’ which destroyed anything it touched.

‘Oops!’

Furas, who had been aiming for the mont Eddie was distracted by the pain, had not missed the opportunity and had launched a surprise attack.

The timing of the surprise attack was truly amazing.

Eddie, who was enduring the pain, had not been able to detect the mana of Furas that had been instantly circulated.

The rcuries had not been able to respond because they did not have as keen a sense as Eddie.

But there was one rcury who had responded on his own.

It was Daz, who was wearing Caliptus' Eye.

Paaang-!!!

Crack-!

Just before the black streaks of Virgamut reached Eddie.

Daz’s shield was cast over Eddie’s head.

Daz, who had seen Furas' mana move just before Virgamut was cast, had cast the shield.

Thanks to that, the two or three streaks that were about to strike Eddie directly were narrowly blocked.

In the anti, Eddie and the other two rcuries cast their shields.

Wooooong-

Three more layers of shields were added on top of Daz’s shield, which was on the verge of breaking.

Eddie glared at Furas as he cast his shield.

‘He pretended to let go peacefully, but he was aiming for the mont of carelessness when the summoning circle was activated. In the end, at the decisive mont, he acts just like his father!’

Paang-! Pabang-! Pang-!!

The streaks of Virgamut continued to strike the shield.

As befitting a 9-star magic, it was not easy to block even with a triple shield, including Eddie’s.

And at the sa ti.

Fwoosh-

The fla of summoning rose at the feet of Eddie and the rcuries.

If they went on like this, they would be summoned along with the black lightning streaks and suffer damage from the residual power of Virgamut during the summoning.

This was exactly what Furas had been aiming for.

If the mastermind was unknown, then they should be shattered while remaining unknown.

But Eddie had no intention of being defeated like this.

He had a single shot that would amplify the power of the shield.

“Heut…!”

Eddie surrendered his circle to Rakan’s mana, his eyes turning golden.

The shield instantly expanded, repelling even the surrounding knights.

“Uwaaaaaah-!”

Hundreds of knights were thrown backward.

But before they could even co to their senses, they threw themselves to avoid the streaks of Virgamut that had been repelled by the expanded shield.

Kwajik- Kwajik-!

The repelled black streaks scattered threateningly, destroying armor and weapons.

Furas, who had been watching the scene, withdrew the wand that had been casting Virgamut.

Eddie, along with the rcuries, burned in the fla of summoning and glared at Furas.

Fwoosh- Fwoosh-

The last burning fragnts of the summoning fla disappeared into the air.

And finally, Eddie and the rcuries completely vanished.

Shainborough, which had beco even more of a ss due to the scattered Virgamut.

Furas stood in the middle of such a Shainborough and looked up at the sky where the summoning circle had disappeared.

His two eyes were still filled with anger.

“I didn't catch many.”

But for so reason, a bitter, regretful smile hung on his lips.
