“You are the real one?” Asked Luke which made Nanas nod.

“Yes, the one whom Gregory killed is a subordinate wizard, who has a similar appearance to me.”

It was the first time for Luke and Gregory to see Nanas.

As a result, it was impossible for them to know how Nanas looked, and they didn’t have the time to conduct a prior identification search.

So when the fake one had come out, they couldn’t notice it.

Of course, even with a prior investigation, it would have been troublesome to know who the fairy was as the community of the fairies was closed.

“You are one stupid woman. You should have stayed hidden.”

One of the Saint Guard’s knights pulled out his sword and screamed, but Luke stepped forward and stopped the man.

“What are you doing, Marquis?”

“I have no intention of letting you do useless things.”

“What is that supposed to mean? Then…”

“Yeah, that is a magic illusion. The real one is hiding somewhere and watching us.”

And to prove his words, Luke shot a Fire Arrow at Nanas.

The Fire Arrow went past Nanas, and the body of Nanas distorted for a moment.

The men of Saint Guard frowned for a moment.

“This ignorant…!”

“Huh, if you think this is ignorant, what about the humans who want our races to follow you?”

Luke shot back at the sarcastic comment of Nanas.

“Well, it was you fairies who thought us to be a little ignorant. In particular, you fairies taught us magic and other stuff too, right?”

“Keuk, that is true. That was the biggest mistake of our ancestors.”

Nanas, who felt disgusted, looked at Luke and smiled.

“But there was one thing that our ancestors didn’t teach you, and that is at your feet right now.”

Tat!

When she said that, Nanas’s finger snapped.

The glass floor of the hall cracked, and the building began to shake as if there was an earthquake.

Urrrrng!

“W-what is this?”

“Don’t tell me she is trying to bury us with this building!”

Everyone tried to hurriedly escape from the building.

However, as if they were being blocked by barriers, their bodies couldn’t move out of the building.

“T-this can’t be!”

Crack-! Crack!

While everyone was shocked and flustered, the glass broke at once and the building collapsed.

Luke saw that even in such a situation, the building debris didn’t fall immediately to the ground but began to transform into something by combining with the air.

‘Is this…?’

A Trap type magic circle.

When the target approached, the magic-based materials that were scattered around moved into a preset position, and the magic circle would be completed and activate itself.

‘But from the shape of its build, it is far from a magic circle.’

It was like a huge box made of steel or glass, more like a cage.

When the form was completed, Luke’s group and Gregory’s subordinates, who were floating in the air till then, landed on the floor.

Although they fell from a height of 10 meters, none of them were weak enough to die.

Ta! Ta! Ta! Ta!

Hundreds of Fairy warriors, lead by Hyrun, appeared as if they were waiting for that moment and pointed their bows and weapons at the cage.

In the middle of all this was Nanas.

The real Nanas, not an illusion or substitute.

“What is all this?” Asked Gregory with his face as stern as ever.

The fairies, after seeing his face, stepped back not realizing the effect he had on them.

Nanas was the only one who wasn’t overwhelmed by the fearsome force of the Sword Sage.

“It is just what it looks like. Both Marquis Luke and Arch Duke Gregory will be our hostages. That way, the Princess who acts like a pope won’t play around.”

“You plan on holding us? Would that even be possible?”

At the words of Gregory, Nanas felt pity for him.

Even though he fell into the trap of the fairies, he judged that he couldn’t be stopped with the magic circle of the fairies.

“Such measly traps, I can get rid of them with my sword!”

Raising his voice, Gregory pulled out his sword and hit the glass and metal cage.

The Hyper Aura of a Sword Sage could destroy anything.

Its power could not just shatter any room but also a handful of fairies that was in its range.

Luke’s party and the men of Saint Guard believed so and showed a little anxiety.

Kang!

Along with a loud crashing sound, the Hyper Aura just bounced off.

“What…!?”

The Arch Duke, who was shocked by what happened, kept hitting again and again, but the result was the same.

There wasn’t even a small scratch on it, and the Hyper Aura began to disappear.

After seeing that, Nanas smiled.
