I Accidentally Seduced the Male Lead's Younger Brother

Chapter 62

“You…?”

Toto nodded.

That meant using the spirits.

Elena has been helped by the spirits – who loved her – ever since she met them.

Whether it’s collecting data or information about a new grass.

But she never thought of using them to make her stronger.

Even if war was imminent, she hadn’t thought of using her spirits to fight in the war.

‘I have treated my spirits like children.’

Since they were always in the form of young animals, she seemed to have unconsciously thought that she had to protect them.

[Master always cherishes us. So I want to repay you.]

Toto said with sincere eyes.

[We are always ready. I am prepared to impart my strength to my master.]

“Toto….”

[So please rely on me a little more.]

Elena smiled brightly and stroked Toto’s head.

“Okay. I’ll rely on you. Thanks, as always.”

Toto also smiled.

[Then let’s do it now.]

Toto appeared more excited than usual.

“Now?”

[Yes. I’ll teach you slowly.]

“Ah, yes.”

Elena awkwardly laughed.

Although she lacked sufficient magical power to do it right now, she could not ignore the passionate Toto.

Elena put Toto down on the floor.

“What should I do?”

[Try using magic. I’m a water spirit, so I like water magic.]

“Okay.”

Elena condensed her magical power in her hands and stretched it out toward the front.

Then a bow and arrow made of water appeared in her hand.

[Shoot an arrow and call my name.]

“Yes.”

Elena firmly pulled the bowstring and then released it.

“Toto!”

In an instant, as soon as she called the spirit’s name, she felt a refreshing magical energy blooming from her fingertips.

At the same time, the water arrow, which was the same size as a normal arrow, grew.

The arrow that doubled in size flew swiftly that it could not be compared with those ordinary ones.

Whoo!

The water arrow directly blew up a large rock in the training center.

‘When I shot it before, it only made a crack…’

Water arrows were similar to basic magic in terms of stages.

So the attack was not that great.

But perhaps because of the power Toto transmitted, the magic was now similar to that of intermediate or higher magic.

[Good job. You can use it accordingly for each attribute in the future.]

“Yes. Thanks, Toto. Anyway, it’s really amazing.”

When she released the bowstring, she felt like she was connected to Toto for that split second.

‘Now I feel like a real Spirit Master.’

Elena let out a pleasant laugh.

****

It was dawn when Elena finished training with Toto.

Leading her weary body, she trudged down the hallway.

‘It’s so hard…’

Her body was exhausted. Her worn-out state was because of her massive consumption of mana.

Still, there was vitality in her eyes.

As she practiced with Toto, she had already drawn expectations of becoming stronger in the future.

‘If I borrow the power of the other spirits, it will be useful in war.’

Not only the magicians of the Magic Tower but in the event that Lexion fell into an unforeseeable crisis, she was uncertain if she would be able to protect him.

Elena smiled softly and entered the dormitory.

But as soon as she opened the door, she inhaled a familiar scent.

‘This scent….’

Elena immediately shook her head.

Then, she saw a man standing by the window bathed by the moonlight.

“Lexion…?”

‘Am I too tired?’

Elena rubbed her eyes.

But she didn’t see wrong.

“Elena.”

In long strides, Lexion immediately stood before her.

“I’m sorry for coming all of a sudden.”

He gazed at Elena and smiled.

The room was dark, but Lexion’s face was clearly visible from the moonlight’s reflection.

His face, which she hadn’t seen in a long time, was stained with fatigue.

“It’s okay.”

“I think I haven’t been able to see your face properly because I’ve been busy all this time…”

“It can’t be helped. After a while… There will be war.”

Elena said with a hint of sadness in her eyes.

In a few weeks would be the war against the demons.

Not even a regular monster, but hundreds of thousands of monsters under someone’s control.

So she understood that there was nothing he could do.

Even the length of time they could remain as lovers was shortened.

‘… But why am I feeling sad?’

“Sorry.”

Elena whispered.

“What do you mean?”

Lexion asked, genuinely surprised.

“We don’t have much time left….”

Elena couldn’t help but add.

He then cautiously grabbed her hand.

“I’m fine. This is inevitable. It’s not something we can do on our own. So Elena shouldn’t be feeling sorry about it.”

“Lexion….”

“There is one thing Elena has to think about. I heard that the Magic Tower would stand at the front line. So you…”

Lexion’s eyes darkened.

“Just think about surviving this war.”

“Ah….”

“You too will be on the front line. That is what worries me the most.”

He was absolutely worried about her.

Thump, Thump.

Elena couldn’t take her eyes off Lexion’s eyes.

A feeling that was too great to be expressed in words was engraved on her.

Elena’s hand reached upward without realizing it, caressing Lexion’s cheek.

“Lexion also must survive.”

Lexion was the war hero, so he was stronger than anyone else.

She naturally thought that it would be fine.

But it was also normal to be worried.

Lexion stared intently at Elena.

The warmth on his cheek and her breath close to him caused his heart to race.

Maybe that’s why.

He couldn’t control this sudden urge of his.

His face gradually moved closer to Elena.

And a warm breath touched her forehead.

Elena’s eyes widened.

‘What he has touched…’

Lexion looked at her with a fleeting startled expression and then turned around.

“Sleep well, Elena.”

Lexion’s cheeks were hidden from her view when he left the dormitory, but his face was definitely warm.

The meetings with the tower lords were held for several days, for nearly 10 hours a day.

They searched for the most efficient way to stop the monsters, and within the methods they found, they achieved the best approach to deploy the troops.

As a result, the wizards of the West Tower occupied the Fortnen Kingdom, which was located on the border of the White Continent, as their base, and went on to defeat the monsters.

In the Fortnen Kingdom, the king heard the news from the tower and welcomed it with open arms.

It was because their chances of surviving the great war against the demons increased.

Moreover, they evacuated all the citizens of the kingdom except for the king, soldiers, and nobles participating in the war.

It was for the benefit of both parties.

The wizards did not like humans, and the people of the kingdom participating in the war were able to ensure the safety of their families.

It was the perfect agreement.

And around the end of the tower lords’ meeting.

Lexion’s departure was also decided.

He was to set out on the plains of Fortnen, right next to its Kingdom.

The location where the magicians were situated was based on the course the monsters have taken.

In other words, it was the most dangerous place.

Thus, the war hero, Lexion, was also at the front line with them.

When he received this order from the Emperor, he had to hide his expression well.

To conceal his elation about being deployed to a mission near Elena’s location.

However, because of the impending war, he did not bother to show off.

Of course, the fact that the Fortnen Plains was close to the kingdom and easy to provide supply was some of the reasons for his joy.

Although, his biggest reason was he could protect Elena in case of an accident.

****

Once the place of departure had been set, Lexion and Elena became busier than ever before.

Lexion constantly had meetings with the Imperial family, managed the soldiers, and moved from place to place in relation to the supplies.

Meanwhile, Elena was busy developing magic potions that would be useful in war and increasing the number of their stock.

Therefore, the two naturally had less time to meet.

But the more it did, the more Lexion’s longing intensified.

Previously, he had heard from Kerr that if he distanced himself, he would be less distracted with thoughts of her. But it was useless to him.

On the contrary, the feeling escalated, and the desire to see her has only solidified.

“Elena…”

Lexion quietly called out her name.

After a busy day, at dawn, he had to take a nap to relieve his exhaustion.

However, the desire to see her was greater, so Lexion crossed over the portal.

Immediately, the scent of various medicinal herbs mixed in stimulated his sense of smell.

When he first visited, the stimulus was potent. But now, he was used to the aroma.

Lexion quickly found Elena lying on her stomach on her desk in the laboratory.

Seeing the herbs and laboratory instruments scattered on the desk, it appeared that she was drained from developing a potion and fell asleep.

Lexion immediately took off the robe he was wearing and put it on Elena’s shoulder.

Then, he quickly took her into his arms.

No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn’t just leave her there.
