Episode 396: Greg laughed as he looked at the Auror barrier that even surrounded the friendly mages standing close to the back.
‘Auror users can defend themselves.’
It would have been more reasonable to pick up a sword and aim for one of the three. Even if they were floating in the air outside the castle walls, they might make a mistake at least once while pouring out magic.
but.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa.
I couldn’t help but change my complexion when I saw that the red aura film stood without shaking even in the rain of water pouring from the sky and the heat wave pouring down from the front and the storm of rocks coming from all directions.
Greg’s face hardened even more as he saw the red barrier that was unbreakable even when more magic power was poured into it. Even if they were sword spirits, it would have been difficult for them to do something like that, as they wouldn’t know if they were all caught.
‘Oh yeah, that year was a mutation too. shit!’
I couldn’t help but feel nervous.
To magicians who use mana, force users were truly absurd creatures. This was so in the sense that he showed combat power comparable to that of a wizard who uses the power of nature, which abounds in the world, through the power of a single individual.
From that perspective, Auror users, the pinnacle of force users, were no different from incomprehensible monsters.
These people calmly perform miracles that are impossible even with magic, but explain them with simple words such as ‘characteristics’ or ‘powers.’
A fool and a monster who cannot even explain the principles of his power.
In particular, Auror users who had awakened to strange abilities that seemed to sprout during a drought really wanted to conduct biological experiments. People like that female knight who probably specialized in defense.
Therefore, a few mages called such auror users mutants, not humans. It contains the absurdity and wonder that it must be a living being other than a human.
But that was all.
“Just curl up and die!”
Greg increased his power even more and poured it into his magic.
Enemy mages would also have a hard time using magic inside that Auror’s tent. The moment that female knight runs out of strength, this fight will end.
But Greg soon realized that this was too optimistic an expectation.
The moment when the Auror’s shield is slightly lifted following the female knight’s sword.
“Gravity Pressure!”
I felt a powerful force pulling me along with the deep voice.
Ugh.
“Ugh!?”
“this…!”
“Sigh!”
A magic that simply changes the enemy’s position rather than pressuring it to inflict damage. Greg’s eyes widened as he felt that the magic power that went into it was no less than his own.
‘Holy shit.’
The magic he was maintaining was disturbed and his body was dragged inside the castle wall.
Looking around, Celine and Lexi were also in the same situation. Rather, unlike him who was just floating in the air, he was relying on floating stones and water droplets, so he was getting closer to the castle wall faster.
And soon, Greg was able to keenly sense what magic was unfolding on the castle walls. All the energy that maintained my body decreased by nearly 30% in an instant, and I began to stumble.
“Ugh!”
The magic mega flare that I had been trying to maintain disappeared, and as a reaction, I felt dizzy.
If it’s short, it’s a short stumble. But when he came to his senses again, a stone giant about 2 meters tall was already in front of him.
‘Golem?’
However, the speed was so fast that it was difficult to believe that it was a doll made by magic. The young dark brown magical power was visible stretching out like an afterimage all over the entire body of the fist held out towards him.
‘shit!’
The magic that was hastily drawn up was unfolded instinctively.
And at that moment, the world turned upside down.
Quaaaaaaaaaaa!
Rumbling.
“Pfft!”
Greg, who was pushed back with a gut-wrenching shock, soon hit the railing of the castle wall and vomited blood.
Phew!
After spitting out the blood, his fading mind seemed to return a little, but in that brief moment, the golem’s fist was already in front of his eyes again.
A future in which a fist the size of a human head crushes one’s head is vividly pictured.
‘I am like this…’
When a look of resignation appeared on his face.
Quaaaaaaaaa!
A transparent barrier of unknown origin blocked the golem’s fist and saved him.
thud! bang! bang!
The sight of the golem pounding on the cold, blue barrier did not feel realistic.
I feel like I died and came back to life.
Greg, who had little idea what the situation was, looked ahead with blank eyes.
Kwasik.
I came to my senses only after the barrier cracked, unable to withstand the golem’s continued blows.
A cold, transparent barrier.
As far as he knew, there was only one person in the empire who had the magical power to block the power of that ignorant golem.
“Master Galen!?”
When Greg, who had turned red, looked back, he saw the Mage of the Cold Wind flying quickly towards the castle wall in the distance.
And was that appearance displeasing?
[Come to your senses, Greg! [It’s a battlefield!]
The message magic containing a harsh cry awakened his spirit again.
Only then did Greg realize his depravity and his face turned red.
‘I gave up the fight just for a moment?’
The sight of his other two colleagues, Lexi and Celine, narrowly fending off the golem’s attack heightened his sense of shame.
Even though they are at the same level, even those who I thought were more than half the level below are making such a good promotion, so what kind of situation is this for me?
Of course, there were some doubts.
The sight of my colleagues blocking the attacks of these ridiculously powerful golems seemed no different from usual.
It was as if he was completely unaffected by this sticky and dirty weakening magic circle that bound him.
‘How is this…?’
I don’t know why, but among my colleagues, I felt like I was the only one who was under the spell.
The golden dragon symbol on the robe felt embarrassing and heavy.
Crackling.
‘We make up for it!’
Shame soon turned into anger towards the enemy.
Quaaaang!
Just then, the barrier of the cold wind broke and the golems rushed towards him.
“I’ll crush you!”
The heat wave pouring down from Greg’s body began to hit the golem again and again.
Quaaaaaaaaaaa!
bang!
Rumbling.
A heat wave broke out, the walls of the castle were torn apart, and unseasonable rain and wind struck.
A variety of magical powers containing disaster-like power enveloped a corner of the castle wall as if distorting space. The wizards’ battlefield creates their own space even within the castle walls and does not allow interference from others.
“Ahh!”
“Oops!”
Just the aftermath of being accidentally swept away caused regular soldiers to vomit blood and collapse.
A sharp blue wind blew into that bloody battlefield.
“Dropping wind…!”
A sigh flowed from the mouth of Clayton, who was barely able to tie up the three mages.
Soon his magic split into another branch and began to bind a new opponent, its power weakened and the momentum of the other three mages increased.
“This is their limit! Push it!”
“Galen is coming!”
“I’ll tear you to death, you bastards!”
Wow!
That’s it.
Heat waves and heavy rain. The two magics that could not be mixed mixed together to create a rain of flames, and an earthquake occurred that shook the golems and Clayton’s feet.
The golems, clad in dark brown magical power like armor and attacking the mages with lightning-like movements, repeatedly caused small cracks and recovered.
“Hold on just a little longer, Lia!”
“Yes! Master!”
Victoria doesn’t even have time to wipe away the nosebleed, and Clayton encourages his student with a face as pale as hers.
All of that came into Eilen’s wavering vision.
Crackling.
Eilen unconsciously raised her sword even as she stumbled.
‘in action!’
With the Indomitable Fortress expanded three times its size, it was clearly impossible to withstand the mages’ concentrated barrage. Even after the aftereffects of the shock had subsided, it was difficult to pull myself together.
But everyone is already straining themselves.
Although McLane was dominant, it was not without sacrifice.
“Aaaah!”
“Save me!”
“For McLane!”
Vigilantes were slaughtered as meat shields, and countless knights and soldiers died after fierce battles.
Of course, the enemy’s sacrifice seemed twice that much, but he could not rest when screams were coming from all directions.
“Aaaah!”
Eilen shook off the tinnitus in her ears with a sound that she couldn’t tell whether it was a scream or excitement, and rushed towards the owner of the powerful magical power that she could sense.
Even though he had the characteristics that were close to perfect against mages, it was impossible to deal with the sorcerer of the cold wind in his current state.
All I can do is take my time as promised…
‘Huh?’
I caught something strange as my senses were recovering in real time.
‘Golden dragon symbol? why?’
Grumbling.
“I’ll burn them all!!”
Kwaaaaang!
A mage with a heated face, his whole body covered in flames, and moving wildly, uncharacteristically of a mage.
The moment I saw the golden dragon symbol engraved on the mage’s chest, my mind came to me.
Wizards, who have greater pride in the Magic Tower and themselves than in their country, draw their own symbols on their robes. It is the same as Clayton and Viktor adhering to the pattern of the Golem school.
However, as if ignoring such customs, there was a magician wearing a robe with the symbol of the empire, a golden dragon.
‘Is it a different species? ‘Why…’
Of course, it wasn’t a problem right away. Rather, by doing so, you will be affected by the weakening magic circle, so the battle will be advantageous for now.
But the problem came after that.
The effects of the McLane Great Magic Circle that Victoria reconstructed must not yet be revealed. The illusion that it does not work on magicians must be created, and the truth that the sentence is the target must be completely hidden.
Of course, it will be revealed someday, but it should never become this war.
‘…I have to kill you here.’
Of course, the immediate priority was to block the sorcerer of the cold wind who was approaching.
Eilen swung his sword at the blue wind rushing in front of him, hiding his rising anger.
Paaaaaaaa!
Kwakwakwakwakwa.
The blue wind that collided directly with the Auror lost its central magical power and disappeared as a gust of wind.
The bitter wind sharpened Eilen’s mind, which had become dull.
“There’s nothing wrong with the Mage of the Cold Wind. Come on!”
“under…!?”
The cold wind mage, who was moving as if swimming in the air outside the castle walls, let out an exclamation at the childish provocation. Of course, the emotion contained in the exclamation was filled with only a hint of surprise, as if he had no intention of responding to the provocation.
Perhaps it was because it was amazing to see a female knight crushing her own magic with a club-like auror, but Eilen couldn’t help but feel sick as she watched.
‘Why don’t you come down?’
I glanced back, but Clayton was just shaking his head with a cold sweat on his face.
It was clear that a wisp of the felt magical power had reached the cold wind, but it did not seem to have had much of an effect.
After all, it was quite a feat to have already tied three magicians of the same level to the castle wall. There was no need to further elaborate on Victoria’s power in pushing the three even to the point where they were inadequate.
‘I just have to do well.’
The enemy also seemed to understand the strange situation going on.
“For my empire!”
“Get lost! Invaders!!”
“What is the Empire?”
“Ahh!”
From the sounds coming from all directions, the imperial army’s proportion was gradually decreasing. The
few soldiers and knights who had some free time shot crossbows at the magician who was flying in the air outside the castle walls. He shot and threw Liberatio.
Bang!
Tadadadang.
“Huh.”
The magician of the cold wind, who easily deflected the quarrels and bombs flying at him, pointed his finger at Eilen and the others, ignoring the soldiers and knights.
Contrary to his simple actions, The appearance of blonde hair rising to the sky showed that the Empire’s best mage was now doing her best.
Soon, the blue wind that Eilen had once crushed enveloped her and Victoria Clayton on a much larger scale than before.
‘Army of the Cold Wind’ !’
The best combat magic of this era has been unleashed again, enabling small-scale as well as large-scale defense and attack with a single spell.
