[ Episode 356. Pandemonium Battle]
A group of horsemen ran across the plain.
The one running at the forefront was holding a flag with a sun on it.
“I never thought I would be using a horse I used to ride only as a hobby. haha.”
“Hobbies helped. It feels good to exercise after a long time.”
In the middle, the person who seemed to be in charge of the group laughed loudly and shouted.
It was Sinclair Cloche, one of the four pillars of the empire, or now the three.
Next to him, the second leader of the Knights of the Sun was talking.
“Anyway, the world is something you really don’t know.”
“I was surprised too. I never thought that forces hostile to the empire would appear…”
“That’s not what I meant.”
“then……?”
Sinclair smiled broadly as he watched the manor slowly begin to appear.
“The story was that it was strange that Cromwell was the reason why I came back to the battlefield as an Aura Master.”
“Are you related to Cromwell?”
“I know Adrias Cromwell personally.”
Sinclair remembered his first meeting with Adrias.
At first, I thought he was the creator of the Everlast Potion, which I was just able to meet by chance. However, Adrias Cromwell, whom he met in person, was not an ordinary person.
‘I should have noticed from then on.’
At that time, no one would have known that he would grow like this, as he was just an academy student who was lucky enough to get a potion with no power.
“You must feel a little uncomfortable.”
“Inconvenience? I?”
“Oh, I don’t mean that…”
“I’m rather looking forward to it.”
Muangong Sinclair Cloche.
The one who makes the empire peaceful with martial arts.
Although he was not included in the 10 Continental Continents, the second leader of the Sun Knights, who was to compete with him, knew that he was saying that without knowing Sinclair’s skills.
‘His Highness Closche’s skills are similar to those of our knights.’
The leader of the Knights of the Sun was Xavier Leonard, who served as the commander of the Imperial Guard. Knowing that Xavier was one of the 10 people on the continent, it was a fighting power that could never be ignored.
“Come to think of it, I heard that there are personnel who were on a mission with Adrias Cromwell here?”
“This is Sir Leighton Clark, the third leader.”
Layton, hearing his name, rode from the back row to join the front.
“Did you call, Your Highness?”
“Did you say that Adrias and Borghien defended together?”
“Actually, he was almost at the end of the battle, so I didn’t notice anything special.”
“okay? Right.”
“Just…….”
Layton, who was elevated to the rank for blocking Borghien and even obtained a territory, carefully opened his mouth.
“He was prepared for any situation. Even right before the fall of Borgijen, it felt as if everything was orchestrated by his hand.”
“He does have a bit of a dark side. The sea I agree with.”
Sinclair nodded, then put on a look of anticipation.
“I don’t know if it will work this time.”
“Anyway, it will be impossible this time. It is a unit that includes as many as 5 Auror Masters and 2 Warlocks, and it takes only one kingdom’s strength to stop it.”
At the words of the second leader, Sinclair asked Layton indirectly.
“What do you think?”
“…he is not stupid.”
“Hoo? What exactly does that mean?”
“You must have prepared something. Of course, I know that even such a plan would be futile with His Highness Closche’s power, but I think we should be careful with his magic.”
At Layton’s honest words, Sinclair smiled and nodded. There was no sign of fear in his arrogant appearance.
“I look forward to it. I’m really looking forward to it.”
Even when the North moved south, it hadn’t shown its full potential. However, Sinclair was thinking that the stronger the opponent, the better, since he had been ordered by the emperor to put all his strength into this case.
“We are here!”
The leading knight shouted.
They stood on a small earthen hill that had already been destroyed by something, and surveyed the manor overlooking it.
“Is that place Cromwell? The atmosphere is brighter than I thought.”
“now. Our mission is Adrias Cromwell, the leader of the rebels, and his remnants. I won’t bother destroying the territory, but please remind me of the mission first!”
The superhuman unit formed to subdue the rebels had plenty of room. It was a natural reaction as the Auror Masters included a whopping 7 superhumans, including 5 warlocks and 2 warlocks.
“Should we say hello with some light magic?”
said one of the warlocks.
At his words, Sinclair just nodded without saying anything.
Whoa—!
In an instant, magic power began to gather, and a huge awl was created in the air.
“Let’s make some light holes first.”
The warlock, flirting and preparing magic, sent the awl straight toward the castle gate. As much as it was a magic created by Warlock, the people watching had no doubt that the magic would penetrate the castle gate.
Whoo!
The awl flew with a fierce blast sound, and soon split into dozens of branches and poured into the castle gate.
“hmm?”
At that time, Warlock, who used magic, sensed something strange and hurriedly raised his magic power.
“What is going on?”
“Such nonsense…”
Another Warlock asked, but he couldn’t calm his trembling body.
“What happened? Why are you doing that?”
“Huh? Magic…!”
People’s eyes were focused on the magic that had been blown in the first place. There, the magic that flew towards the castle gate remained suspended in the air and did not move further.
“no way!”
Another Warlock, who was watching, was horrified to see his colleague standing still and competing for strength.
“The Origin of Control! They’re fighting a duel with magical powers!”
“What do you mean?”
“The origin of control discovered by Adrias Cromwell theoretically allows you to steal even your opponent’s magic. And one of the processes is a magical duel, and I never thought I would actually see that……”
Then someone stood on top of the castle wall and looked at the punitive force gathered on the hill.
The impressive man with his distinctive black hair mixed with green color fluttering in the wind soon beckoned, and the awls near the castle gate slowly changed direction.
“Kuk, lost.”
The wizard who used magic calmed down his trembling body and said.
“Defense magic!”
“i get it!”
Quadd Deuk!
Awls flew in and violently bit the protective film. Some of the awls pierced the defensive magic, but were soon broken by the swords of the Auror Masters.
“It is not over!”
“what?”
The sudden counterattack confused everyone.
Even experienced superintendents were taken aback by the unexpected development as they had come imagining a relaxed atmosphere.
Whoops——–!
Aaaaang——-!
Huge magic exploded above the heads of the subjugation party. Then, a dark cloud with a magic circle was created above their heads, and black rain and lightning began to pour down.
“Huh, black magic?”
“Black magic? Why is the black magic……”
By the time Warlock noticed the true nature of the magic, it was already too late.
Dudududuk!
Chii profit!
“Keugh!”
“Everyone raise your shields! Activate the artifact!”
The black rain began to melt everything it touched, and the lightning that struck it also devastated the surroundings with magical power.
“Unlike tricks!”
The second leader of the Knights of the Sun used an aura.
In an instant, his body became transparent and disappeared, and he quickly ran towards the outer wall where Adrias was standing.
“Captain Jake!”
Layton, who saw that, belatedly called, but he had already run away without looking back.
“Funny. Let’s take a look.”
Sinclair laughed as he was hit with no thought to stop the pouring acid rain. A curtain of aura surrounded him.
If Adrias died simply here, I was not going to be disappointed, but if he unexpectedly knocked out the 2nd
captain …
Adrias was looking at the subjugation party as if not noticing the second leader.
‘It ends in an instant.’
Team 2 had no intention of procrastinating.
He approached at once, drew his sword and swung it.
– Stop.
‘Keep!’
The second team leader was startled when he felt a powerful magical force envelop him.
“I wanted to know if it works for Auror Masters, but it seems to work well.”
This guy…how the hell…
the 2nd team leader barely escaped the restraints, feeling the cold sweat running down his back. However, his Aura Biggie had already been released.
“It looks like you can have fun, but there’s nothing you can do to stop it alone.”
The 2nd team leader hid himself by activating Aura Biggi again. Not only his appearance, but his existence itself became colorless and odorless, and the second leader swung his sword once more.
Caang!
“Why do you think I would be alone?”
“ah?”
The bewildered captain of the second team opened his mouth without realizing it. It wasn’t Adrias who blocked his sword. Rather, Adrias is in a state of staring straight ahead without even giving a glance.
It was none other than the sword of pure white light that was blocking the sword of the second leader.
“I am not alone like you.”
An ominous smile spread across Adrias’ lips.
And the complexion of the 2nd leader who confirmed that appearance turned pale.
“This aura is a draw…! It can’t be. Why did he take you…….”
“The sin of daring to swing the sword at the lord.”
A voice that should not be heard hit the eardrums of the second group leader.
“Repay with death.”
“Evan von Orleon!”
Dozens of pure white swords wrapped around the 2nd leader in an instant and stabbed them.
With no room to escape, the second team leader tried to swing his sword at the approaching attack, but it was not enough.
“Ouch!”
“Now the Empire has truly become my enemy.”
The second captain knelt down, feeling pain and blood flowing backwards. However, he did not look servile at all and rather laughed at Adrias.
“Can you handle it…?”
“Because I am greedy.”
Adrias greeted Sinclair in the distance and approached the second team leader.
“Even if I make the Empire an enemy, I have no intention of losing anything of mine.”
“Hehe. kill.”
Awesome!
Galaksur took the opponent’s supply and demand.
Adrias said while looking at the body of a superhuman falling in vain.
“We will finish without a single damage to the territory.”
Speaking as if to ask someone to listen, he slowly walked to the edge of the wall and fell down.
“Johnny.”
Following him, Evan, who suddenly appeared, was with him, and other characters also appeared.
The subjugation party, which had destroyed Adrias’ magic, was able to confirm the figures slowly approaching them.
“……Am I looking at it wrong?”
“Isn’t it? It won’t be…….”
Those aspects that everyone denied were splendid.
“Maximin Cronel…!”
“Could it be that the white swords flying just before were Evan von Orléon’s Aura Biggie?”
“Salem Yedidiah! Why is that person in Cromwell!”
Although not named, Louis Atman and Vivian Velocan were also present.
“Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!”
Sinclair, who watched the scene, eventually burst into laughter.
“Your Highness……”
“Good, rather good.”
Sinclair laughed for a long time, then erased his laughter and opened his eyes wide.
“I thought that one day this day might come. I am grateful that that day could be today.”
A lion-like man with a red mane brought out a huge greatsword. There was an unknown piety in that action.
“Maximin Cronel! come!”
Sinclair ran out, and as a signal, the remaining Aura Masters of the subjugation party followed.
“Noisy.”
Looking at Sinclair, Maximin said quietly.
“Don’t think of being lazy. I have to finish it quickly and go to study.”
At Maximin’s words, Salem released the evil snake and said,
“Each person, please take charge of the number of people I mentioned before. If you think it might be dangerous, leave without delay.”
Adrias spread his black wings.
“Let’s destroy it at once so that Cromwell will never be surpassed again.”
