Chapter 260
Ars ‘Tararious’ is simple power.
No, it is funny to even call it power.
It rely allows freedom to Secundus's heart.
The unhuman power that had been bound by common sense, conscience, guilt, and a human-like heart is only then released freely.
However, accumulated ti does not disappear.
Just as much as he endured, it becos even more unstoppable.
Because he had endured his whole life, because it was a life lived bearing wounds in solitude always, Secundus beca a Tararious that no one could stop.
“One!”
He swung the donkey jawbone.
With a cheerful sound, one man was hit on the jaw and went limp.
He was a Director of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau but lost consciousness at once.
“Two!”
The donkey jawbone made another victim.
Sohow every ti they were hit, everyone's legs gave out imdiately and they fainted.
A Commander of a Thousand of the 2nd Legion fainted and lay on the floor.
“Four!”
This ti two guys at once.
“Seven... no, six! I let you off!”
He could have knocked down three at once, but he only knocked down two.
If he knocked down three at once, he would have had to kill one.
Because there is no way one would be alive if their neck was blown off by a donkey jawbone.
‘Even so, there's no need to kill them all like this!’
Since Secundus Debius is Tararious, he didn't particularly want to kill anyone more.
So he did so.
While causing a chaotic ss and knocking everyone down thud thud, he did not take lives.
Though there were so who ended up looking like it would be better to lose their lives.
The jawbone is dyed with blood.
“Seventy-two... Oh my! My treasure!”
By the ti he knocked down over 70 n, the donkey jawbone eventually reached the end of its lifespan.
It was natural since it was used roughly in a way different from its original purpose.
Secundus threw the jawbone fragnt without hiding his regret.
A Commander of a Thousand of the 10th Legion fell there.
“Seventy-three!”
It didn't even take five minutes.
Ferbias Caseptus was dumbfounded and had nothing to say.
He is the Emperor.
He gathered only the most carefully selected strong n to catch and kill Secundus, but as Secundus rampaged like a crazy colt, they collapsed thud thud like bugs.
The Emperor stepped backward.
Debris of the building was stepped on.
“Chariots-!”
He urgently raised his voice.
“Iron chariots, forward! Hurry-!!!”
Dozens of chariots followed the Emperor's order.
The iron chariots of the Cordis Empire are boarded by seven skilled soldiers and one mage.
Weight is weight and power is power, so they can crush everything blocking them.
Not to ntion people, even decent fortress walls would crumble quickly if ramd by a few iron chariots.
However, they could not crumble Secundus.
It is because he is Tararious.
The iron chariots advanced vigorously.
Secundus blocked them lightly.
As he lifted the front of the chariot, the wheels spun vainly in the air.
When he strained grunt, the chariot flipped over.
No, the chariot....
Whether people gasped or not, Secundus flipped over the iron chariots one after another.
Every one of them rolled over helplessly like overturned turtles.
They couldn't move and only flailed their feet.
In the midst of that, flas poured down.
“Ah, hot.”
Secundus grumbled.
A few iron chariots began to bombard from a distance.
He suddenly thought of his maternal grandfather, Deballo Debius.
Recalling the Iron Lion who blocked all the magical bombardnt of the West alone, he couldn't flinch at this level of magic.
That would hurt his pride.
“Co out, you lot.”
He tore off the lid of a nearby chariot with bare hands.
As the iron plate disappeared, the blank faces of the soldiers inside were revealed.
They didn't know how to react to a man tearing off a chariot lid with bare hands.
“I said co out quickly!”
The soldiers ran out hurriedly only after he shouted.
Looking at the chariot where people disappeared, Secundus smiled with satisfaction.
Then he grabbed the chariot with one hand and set it up like a shield.
Then the flas could not pierce it.
“Ha-!”
Secundus, who blocked the flas, kicked the chariot he used as a shield.
It shot forward as if sliding on the ground and directly hit the bombarding chariots.
A roar occurred and flas spread.
Even so, the people inside must be seriously injured.
“I can't help even that!”
Today's Secundus was terribly Tararious.
Sympathizing with the enemy was as he pleased, stopping sympathizing was as he pleased, just everything was as he pleased.
It was a refreshing feeling.
He looked at the Emperor, his half-brother.
Ferbias urged the mages, and one of the mages finally shouted.
“The spell is complete, Your Majesty!”
“Then what are you doing! Hurry, hurry...!”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
Even though Director Kentil died, there are four Four-Star Mages.
They gathered in one place and cast magic.
Four Four-Origin Halos flashed.
Four-Star Magic, ‘Copper Tooth Lion’.
Four-Star Magic, ‘Eerie Twins’.
Four-Star Magic, ‘Non-Aggression Declaration’.
Four-Star Magic, ‘lt and Combine’.
The magic is four.
Two magics summoned heterogeneous beings, and one magic summoned a conceptual wall.
And the last one magic lted all the preceding magics into one and created a magic of an even higher place.
They wield the power of a realm they cannot reach alone.
Five-Star Magic created by lting and combining,
‘Lion of Lutilium’.
The lion's mane was golden.
The hide was a non-aggression that nothing could pierce.
For a lion, it even expressed respect towards the Emperor, and was large enough to swallow even Secundus in one bite.
Everyone sent admiration at the figure of the beast wrapped in golden dignity.
It cannot be compared to a re magical beast, perhaps similar to beings called Kings of Magical Beasts.
Such a lion blocked Secundus's path.
“-Lion-?”
Secundus rather had a face saying it was funny.
Even though that lion was huge as if to swallow him in one bite, even though it had sharp teeth and claws as if to tear his body apart right now, even though it had a hide of non-aggression that nothing could pierce, it did not approach Secundus as a threat.
“Must not have heard my rumors.”
He laughed heartily and ran.
The Lion of Lutilium was the sa.
“Your maw or whatever, I tore it when I was nine!”
Debius ans Lion in the old Hotus language.
Secundus believed he was born with the blood of an old lion.
Being compared to this kind of lion improvised by magic was itself insulting.
A sound of Grrr occurred.
It was the sound of the lion crying.
However, the sound of Secundus laughing heartily was louder.
Humans and lions collided and struggled for power.
The lion scratched the human with teeth and claws, and the human pounded the invulnerable hide with blunt fists.
Naturally, it was the human's victory.
Neither the lion's teeth nor claws could make more than a scratch.
Blood finally began to flow on Secundus's body, but they were rely scratched wounds.
Secundus's fists could not pierce the lion's hide, but the shock spread to the internal organs quickly.
After pounding dozens of tis, the lion couldn't co to its senses and staggered.
“Mm. Let's see.”
Secundus grabbed the lion's maw.
The upper jaw with the left hand, the lower jaw with the right hand.
The lion, beaten soundly, had no energy to resist.
Surely? Surely! The watchers were aghast and spat out gasps.
“Ha, ha-ha-!!!”
And soon Riiip---.
The maw was torn long.
Secundus, who tore the lion's maw with bare hands, was covered in blood and giggled kik-kik.
Following the lion, giant-form magi-soldiers arrived.
Secundus wrestled them and knocked them down.
The Nine-Lines General and Ten-Vigorous General regained their senses again and started using their Ars.
The Nine-Lines General was stuck in the wall again, and the Ten-Vigorous General again could not pierce Secundus's flank.
“Ah, I intended to die today, but if I don't die like this, it might be embarrassing.”
Secundus fought as if enjoying today.
As if telling Ferbias to bring out everything he prepared, he didn't rush and crushed the enemies in front of his eyes one by one.
While doing so, he didn't dare kill lives that didn't need to be killed.
That felt like the greatest insult to Ferbias.
“It's really right under your nose now, Brother Your Majesty!”
***
“......Tsk.......”
Ferbias didn't know what to do.
“...Failed, it failed...! Like this, really...!”
Even though he brought the most outstanding people in the capital Lutilium in a swarm, they couldn't catch one Secundus.
Like this, he might really lose his life at Secundus's hands.
“......He must co. Just when.......”
He stroked his beard anxiously.
Golden pupils were looking at the distant sky anxiously.
“......When, when is he coming.......”
“What is this state?”
Color returned to Ferbias's face.
The old voice was welco.
“No, since you told to return suddenly from Schizen in the West, I wondered what happened, but why on earth is the Grand Imperial Palace.......”
“Grand Dean Hermai! You finally ca!”
“......It's a first for Your Majesty Ferbias to welco this gladly.”
Hermai rhes made a reluctant face.
He had just returned from the West after receiving Ferbias's urgent report.
Hermai looked at the center of the commotion and discovered Secundus Debius.
Then he understood the whole situation at once and glared.
“Your Majesty!!!”
Hermai shouted unwittingly.
He couldn't believe this situation at all.
“...Surely, surely! Did this ss happen while you were trying to purge Grand General Secundus...!?”
“......Purge is an unpleasant expression. But it is similar.”
“......Oh, Your Majesty! Please!”
The old mage covered his face with his hands.
He realized his own heart.
It was a more accurate expression to say he didn't want to believe it rather than he couldn't believe it.
“Why are you doing this? Are you sane?”
“...Your words are harsh.”
“They have no choice but to be harsh! When we barely made the Western Front advantageous, what are you doing!”
“......”
Ferbias suppressed his surging temper once.
He had much to say.
Didn't he have to stop Secundus from threatening his position, wouldn't there be no big impact on the Western Front even if he died.
But it wasn't the ti for such words.
“...Grand Dean, I will sweetly accept the reprimand later.”
Ferbias caught his breath.
“You can see, right. It's a rebellion, a rebellion!”
“...Ha, a rebellion, you say....”
“Then what is it if not a rebellion? That guy is trying to twist my neck, the neck of the Cordis Emperor!”
“......So, you ask this old man to stop him? You told to return to the capital during the war for that?”
“......”
“......Yes. I must follow. Since you are the Emperor, this old man will be loyal.”
Hermai's eyes beca sharp.
He was dressed like a true mage as usual.
Long robe, white beard, wooden staff, and pointed hat....
Even though it was an attire that was sotis even comical, today it strangely had dignity.
Enough that even Ferbias shrank back.
“...However, it seems I misjudged Your Majesty. I thought you were a slightly bigger vessel....”
“It is an order, Grand Dean Hermai...!”
Ferbias said urgently.
“For now, stop Secundus, that monster!”
“Yes, I will do so.”
The mage flew up.
Light ripples behind his head.
The center points are six, Six-Origin Halo.
Proof of the one remaining Six-Star Mage in the Empire.
“......Dreams will be bad tonight again.”
