Episode 415 ‘Okay!’
The more confident a person is, the more easily he falls apart when something he believes in is broken. In that sense, tearing down the wind curtain and starting bombing again was the best choice.
“What is all this!”
“Ugh, save me!”
Wow!
“Aaaah!”
In fact, it was clearly visible that the imperial army’s vanguard, in panic, was disorganized and unable to produce even half of its capabilities.
‘The mages will be tuning the Great Magic, so they won’t be able to come right away.’
It would be nice if at least one or two of the mages became unable to fight due to the collapse of the world, but that would be an excessive expectation.
Anyway, now was my chance.
‘Kill the emperor. now!’
Flashing.
The golden aura that soared as if piercing the air once again focused the attention of the battlefield.
“Come, Dogs of the Empire! I, Logan McLane, am here!”
Kwakwakwakwa.
The aura fired into the air was both a performance to intimidate enemies and a signal to allies. The moment he saw Victoria and Clayton quietly withdrawing from the castle wall, Logan’s heart began to beat faster.
‘Please, Lord Clayton. Please, Leah.’
My heart is pounding.
In some ways, the operation was simple.
Harmon and himself focus the enemy’s attention, while Clayton and Victoria prepare to strike out of sight. And Eilen assists and escorts them.
Enemy mages will be in the rear to maintain anti-magic, so they will not be able to attack directly. Jerome and one or two other superhumans who might have been added would have to be stopped by him, Harmon, and Jay Pulson, the superhuman of the East King’s Department.
If Harman emits divine aura and he and Jay run rampant on the battlefield, the presence of the two mages will be erased. The dagger they will prepare would have been an extremely inefficient and meaningless move in an ordinary battlefield, but it could be a fatal move for the current imperial army, which has the ‘weakness’ of the emperor.
It was judged that there was enough possibility.
‘You just have to kill the emperor.’
For that purpose, the gaze of the battlefield had to be kept focused on the castle walls.
Logan swung his sword with an exaggerated gesture.
“Enemy commander… murmur.”
Skag.
“The king… kwaaaa!”
Ugh.
“Come on everyone! I’m here!”
With a loud roar, the golden whip blades flew freely for about twenty meters in all directions, creating a mass of victims.
“Someone, please stop it!”
“Aaaah!”
“Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
The movement of the whipblade, whose trajectory was unpredictable and unable to block even a single sword strike, was a disaster itself for the imperial army.
Even as the surrounding area was devastated, Logan’s gaze glanced at every corner of the battlefield.
The eyes of a wild beast looking for variables that may not be known.
Those eyes caught the figure of Harmon, who had only just begun to move in the distance.
‘Have you come to your senses now?’
His pale complexion looked a bit uneasy, but fortunately he showed no signs of misbehaving.
All you can see is him slashing and slashing at the enemies with an expressionless face.
Skag.
Ugh.
“Aaaah!”
“Auror!?”
“He’s a superhuman!”
However, what was unfortunate was that it did not display the divine aura as originally intended.
The divine aura visible in a sword strike that completely restrained its power was extremely faint.
Unlike the loud and loud atmosphere just before the war, he appears to be extremely conscientious of strength. His pale face looked like he had been seriously injured.
‘Is there a plan or is something really going on?…’
Of course, it was enough to surprise those around him as he was using Aurors, but his performance was very shabby compared to the explosive divine power he showed just before the war. So much so that I thought it would be difficult for the Empire to even notice the Holy Auror.
Fortunately, it was unexpectedly attracting attention from someone other than Harmon.
“Caesus! Show your face! Are you going to hide the Emperor of the Empire?”
A middle-aged man with blond hair screaming at the top of his voice.
The imperial knights, whose eyes rolled back at those words, attacked him, but the unusual form of flame magic swirling around him did not allow them any chance.
Grumbling.
“Aaaah!”
Burn three knights or a dozen soldiers with a single gesture.
Skag.
“What a rat!”
This person can deflect attacks filled with the knights’ force with a shield of red flame or avoid them with quick movements that are uncharacteristic of a wizard.
The extremely efficient fighting style, which seemed to be a proper mix of a wizard and a knight, was attracting attention by demonstrating destructive power that surpassed even the realm of martial arts.
In that situation.
“…King Dongyik!?”
“It’s the traitor Gerard!”
“Kill it!”
After his identity was revealed by some knights, literally all the nearby imperial knights fixed their eyes on him.
Imperial knights rushing like crazy.
– The credit for killing the traitor is mine!
It was a bloody atmosphere that you could tell without even looking at the facial expressions inside the helmet.
“Cut off the traitor’s head!”
“That neck is mine!”
“Anyone wants!”
There were as many as five top-class knights who were competing with each other and flocking towards him.
However, next to him, a knight with shining red aura was blocking all the fatal attacks aimed at Gerard.
“Oh Auror!?”
“There’s another Auror user!”
“shit!”
Former King of Sabang and current traitor.
The appearance of Gerard and the Auror user beside him attracted more attention than Logan in a way.
‘It’s the best sword on the continent.’
‘It’s easier this way.’
‘Be sure to catch it!’
The amount of effort required is less compared to the amount of credit you will receive when killing it.
It attracted numerous fire moths.
Grumbling.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch.
“Aaaah!”
“Kill!”
“die!”
Although the lead role was different from what I expected, I was relieved to see that the story was unfolding on a similar stage.
And now there was only one thing left.
‘Please, Lia.’
When Logan thinks of the three people who are probably heading to the basement of the castle by now.
“target.”
“check.”
All pitch black knights rushed before his eyes.
‘What are they doing?’
At first, it seemed to be just an ordinary knight, but as it got closer, the speed and momentum increased rapidly, which was unusual.
Then, the moment they enter his space.
Ugh.
“Emperor.”
“your majesty.”
“hurray.”
Dark red auras simultaneously surged from the bodies of fifteen knights wearing black armor.
* * *
“Wow, queen, slowly…. murmur.”
“Queen, faster! More! More!”
The priest’s conflicting voices rang alternately in Eilen’s ears.
Of course, Eilen accepted the words of the younger one and strengthened his feet even more.
“Ugh!”
“Just a little more!”
The complexions of the mages who were dragged away by their necks turned even whiter and redder.
Even though he was a mage who had mastered mana force and could move like a knight, he was truly beyond the reach of a superhuman. Moreover, Eilen’s speed, which used her unique Bigi Feather Walk, was now at a level that few people could catch up with even in the McLine.
Of course, her heart was still in a hurry.
‘A little faster!’
Since it was a battlefield where one did not know what would happen, checking the situation was essential. Perhaps enemy mages will pop out without being involved in anti-magic, or there may be more new superhumans than expected.
And I promised my husband that if that were the case, I would give up my original plan and focus on defense. Of course, since the number of confirmed superhumans since the battle began was lower than expected, I felt like I had climbed the castle wall for no reason.
Anyway, thanks to my husband’s unexpected blow, the situation of the war quickly turned towards McLane.
Thanks to this, I am running hard to make my last move in a situation where I have a sufficient advantage.
‘…Why am I so anxious?’
It’s probably because of my mood.
It is clear that the Vigilantes will be no match for the Empire’s central forces, but firing crossbows from the castle walls will do more than enough.
While comforting herself, Eilen increased her speed even further. And even in the midst of a war in full swing, I passed dozens of elite knights who were firmly maintaining their positions and entered the underground plaza of the inner city.
In the past, all facilities that had been used as prisons were demolished, and the square was created solely for the purpose of holding a large magic camp.
“Hurry up!”
Eilen, who had grabbed the two people and ran several kilometers in about ten minutes, let out a gasp and threw the two mages into the center of the magic circle.
“Ugh!”
“Master, focus!”
Clayton, who proved that his liver size is inversely proportional to his size, landed with a confused face, but Victoria, with a rather angry face, quickly took out a crown from her bosom and put it on.
The Crown of Ruler.
A treasure of the Kingdom of Grandia and a symbol of the king.
And an artifact that the current King McLane used only during his coronation ceremony and left behind.
It was the best artifact equipped with 5-Circle Barrier and 4-Circle Fatigue Reduction and Detoxification magic as standard, but I had recently confirmed another function.
as soon as.
‘A function that allows you to borrow some of the abilities of Grand’s Great Magic Circle.’
Victoria clenched her teeth and raised her magic power.
The crown’s effect will be applied to this magic circle, which is an exact copy of Gran’s great magic circle. Of course, that power would be only a fraction of the power of the Great Magic Circle, but that alone would be enough to create enough power for a crown wearer to use wizard-level magic at least once.
Moreover, if the person borrowing that power is a mage in the first place, and if he uses it right above the Great Magic Circle, he will be able to draw out several times that power.
‘The most important castle wall strengthening magic circle, vitality magic circle, weakening magic circle can never be touched. As for the magic defense… just subtract a little of the strength of the mental defense, just in case.’
Ugh.
Following Victoria’s guidance, a huge amount of mana gathered. And she fully accepted it and processed it with her own magic.
A tremendous amount of power temporarily flowed into the body, causing stress.
Crackling.
Victoria gritted her teeth to overcome the pain and concentrate. Then, as she nodded, her teacher Clayton, who had a somber complexion, placed his hand on her shoulder.
“You should never overdo it. You know that, right?”
Nod.
I didn’t have the strength to answer out loud.
Clayton, who saw his disciple’s bloodshot eyes, quietly increased his magical power and induced the disciple’s consciousness.
After a while, the power of the magicians who realized the properties of ‘wind’ and ‘earth’ moved their consciousness to the rear of the enemy camp by riding the earth and wind.
A wide and deep camp.
Among them, the barracks are the largest, most extravagant, and covered in bluish mana.
And the one-eyed knight blocking the entrance.
That scene was visible in both of their minds.
‘Jerome Decade.’
‘It’s within the expected range.’
There is no need to deal with superhumans. To be precise, you have no choice but to deal with them for the purpose, but there is no need to deal with superhumans ‘first’.
But then I saw a group of people rushing past the barracks.
There were probably more than a thousand people wearing robes.
‘The Empire’s magic corps.’
They passed by Ussu and one of them stood in front of Jerome.
‘Galen Decade.’
The Mage of the Cold Wind tapped Jerome on the shoulder and said something, then quickly headed to the battlefield, leaving his nephew who nodded.
‘Good.’
And the moment they move away from each other by a certain distance.
‘now!’
‘yes!’
A golem the size of a person rose up in front of Jerome Decade.
