Episode 418 ‘Oh, no!’
Victoria, swept up in the emperor’s magic circle, screamed.
The feeling of my mind melting away with magical energy.
As she struggled, possessed by a force that she could not resist, she soon sensed defeat.
‘This can’t be helped.’
A helpless feeling that I couldn’t escape came over my whole body.
But at that moment, that feeling of helplessness brought out the worst memory.
My childhood felt even more hopeless because I was smarter than my peers. At that time, she was swept around, relying on her brother, who was only four years older than her, for everything.
There were many times when I tried to give up on life, thinking that my brother would be more comfortable without me.
but.
In the end, I overcame that too.
Through their own efforts and with the help of benefactors.
‘But I can’t just sit down in a place like this.’
No matter how great the magic was, it was not as overwhelming as the weight of the world I felt at that time. The memories of those times that she never wanted to go back to, and that determination held onto Victoria’s spirit that was about to go far away.
And that small will moved the power of the great magic circle that existed in her body through the crown she carried.
Ugh.
Among the five magic circles, the power of the magic circle that protects the mind and soul gave strength to her soul.
‘Ugh.’
‘Master!’
And she even returned the spirit of her teacher, Clayton, who she had sympathized with through her soul.
‘It’s a shame. I go first…’
‘Now is not the time to say that! ‘Focus!’
‘…okay.’
Ugh.
The two were also magicians. Although he was inferior to the emperor who had reached the level of a great mage, once he came to his senses, he was never swept away by the flow of magical power again.
Then, faint brown magic began to separate from the surging blue light. At this rate, it seemed quite possible to escape the flow of magic and return to the body.
The moment Clayton concentrated his mind even more, Victoria took a different stance.
‘You can’t just go back!’
‘what?’
‘If we leave this spell alone, it will cause great damage to the castle and our army!’
In fact, it could have been a ridiculous story.
Even though it is magic written by a great mage of the 7th circle.
Although the power of a large magic stone and numerous artifacts is added, it is ultimately a magic created by one person.
If that kind of magic can blow up a castle, what need is there for an army?
But Victoria thought that something crazy might actually happen.
Even if this magic couldn’t completely destroy the castle or crush the entire army, it certainly seemed like it would deliver a fatal blow. This enormous magical power felt by one’s senses was magical power, but the sight he saw in the barracks when he was subdued by the emperor was truly shocking.
‘The cores that build this magic are four 7-class artifacts!’
‘what!?’
Due to the nature of magic, a 7th class artifact is something that someone who has reached the level of a 9th circle or 9th class rookie can barely create with extremely rare materials.
A legendary artifact that is rumored to contain dragon bones, blood, and body parts of divine beasts as its basic ingredients. Top-class artifacts, which were rare even in the ancient times, the heyday of magic, are literally legendary items that have never been heard of even through rumor.
It’s surprising that there are as many as four treasures that the world thought only belonged to the imperial family.
‘The Emperor uses such items at the risk of permanently losing their magical power or being unable to function for a long period of time!’
In other words, it was the equivalent of magic performed by five great mages of the 7th circle, including the emperor. He even consumed a huge magic stone that he had never seen before and numerous other artifacts at the same time.
Perhaps it will now have destructive power equivalent to the magic of the 8 and 9 circles that only appears in legend.
The moment the calculation was made, Clayton also became urgent.
‘then!?’
‘We have to twist this spell.’
‘what!? That’s impossible….’
‘All you have to do is twist the position a little! ‘In front of the castle, not the castle!!’
‘Okay. ‘Okay, let’s do it.’
Easier said than done, but in reality it was no different from gambling. Because they had just regained their original magic and were about to return to their original state.
In order to interfere with the magical power of the magic circle, it had to be reversed. In other words, you have to be swept away by this huge flow of magical power again.
While trying not to lose his sense of self, he even attempted to twist the direction of this great magic.
‘It’s going to be difficult using normal methods.’
‘You’ll have to try it to find out!’
Clayton made his decision the moment he confirmed his student’s strong will.
‘Then I will be your shield.’
‘yes?’
‘I don’t have time. ‘The realization of magic is getting closer!’
‘Master, if that happens, Master…!?’
‘I said I don’t have time! It was you who suggested this! So this time, follow my lead!’
Just before a huge magical force enters the battlefield.
The small brown lights that had melted back in between were not noticed by anyone.
And soon.
Oooooh!
The blue pillar of magical power soared into the sky and fell to the ground, attracting all attention on the battlefield.
Because the angle was ‘slightly’ turned downward from the original direction, we ended up on one side of the castle wall instead of the castle.
‘Just a little more! little bit more! no!!’
Victoria, the spirit that belonged to that magical power, screamed inwardly.
Although the location was changed, not only the Imperial Army but also McLane’s elite were present at the angle where the magic was about to hit directly.
And the most important person.
Logan McLane, Lord of McLane.
This was the worst situation.
but.
‘Go back…’
‘No, Master!’
‘…ruler.’
The soul of the teacher, who had accepted such a huge blow on his behalf, did not even have the ability to recognize the situation.
‘no!!!!!’
Victoria’s soul followed the teacher’s guidance and returned to its original body just before the magic was realized.
That’s why she didn’t see the golden light rising from the front at that moment.
‘what!!??’
I felt an intimidating feeling that made my flesh tremble without even having time to enjoy the sense of omnipotence felt by my exalted soul.
Energy that threatens life even in its current state, with its abilities amplified to the highest level by the characteristic Up. A huge beam of light containing incredible magical power was pouring down from the sky.
I could feel it just by seeing it.
‘can not avoid.’
That enormous energy was energy, but the magic itself had a ‘force’ that blocked space and even hit the soul.
then.
‘Punch it out.’
I didn’t think it was impossible.
The exalted spirit is already reaching the end of the realm of Aura Masters. The tremendous power in my hands gave me confidence that knew no limits.
And in that situation, the time acceleration of the beloved sword Lux, which suddenly began to function, gave him another inspiration.
‘you can do it.’
It was not about using the power of the artifact.
It was already too high for Lux’s power to reach. Even if the natural magic unleashed from Lux was the one best suited to his soul, it was not enough to have a meaningful impact.
However, the magic itself brought new enlightenment.
Time acceleration.
Until now, I had not understood why the power manifested in Lux was like that, but now I finally understood.
Having gone back in time, he has changed the outcome of all events at all times. The magic manifested by its infinite deterioration is Lux’s time acceleration.
The karma accumulated in his soul was finally recognized.
‘It twists the results that have already been decided.’
That realization reached a level of vision that should have been unreachable through expedient means.
Divine Sword Vision Type 9, Cutting Light.
It did not simply mean splitting light, nor did it mean being fast enough to split light.
‘It cuts even light that is not affected by the flow of time.’
Erasing the cause from the cause and effect and writing a new one, taking only the desired fruit. It may be a vision that he was able to create because he was a swordsman who experienced regression twice before himself.
and.
‘An extreme that is only possible if you have the power of wish.’
My younger brother and others will not be able to learn the 9th formula.
So what exactly is the 10th formula that even the sword body can’t master?
I had doubts for a moment, but now was not the time to worry about such things.
Logan quickly shook off the random thoughts that came to his mind at the desperate moment and raised his sword. Then, with all the power of his wish, he swung towards the destructive light pouring down from above.
Quaaaaaaaaa!
The pillar of light pouring down towards the castle wall was slightly bent once again.
And there, the best of the imperial army gathered, rushing towards the collapsed castle wall.
“hmm?”
“What is that!?”
“how…!”
Flash!
The thousands of people who came into direct contact with the light evaporated in an instant without a scream, which was only the beginning.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa.
“Aaaahhh!”
“Ugh!”
“What is this…!?”
The shock wave that started from the point of the explosion blew away ten times that number of troops like pieces of paper.
Rumbling.
The ground shook as if there had been an earthquake, halting the army’s advance and creating several times that number of injuries.
“Ugh!”
“Off…”
“What the hell is going on!?”
“help me!”
Even then, the enormous wave of magic power that remained stopped or reversed all the magic on the battlefield in an instant.
“Turn it off.”
“Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr torrrrrrrrr
“Ah, the devil’s art…su.”
Both armies’ magic troops vomited blood at the same time, but naturally, the damage was much greater on the Empire side, which was hit directly by the beam of light.
“Cough.”
“That curse…”
“This disaster… kkkkkk.”
About 3,000 wizards collapsed, coughing up blood all at once.
The result of that one spell was so terrible that the blow when the wind curtain was pierced was thought to have been light.
At first glance, the military force, which could be at least tens of thousands or up to 100,000, lost its combat power all at once. A pillar of blue light swept over the battlefield, creating a scene similar to hell.
And at the forefront of that disastrous feat, Logan once again raised his golden sword.
“Did you see? This is heavenly punishment for the invaders!!!”
The battlefield’s eyes, which were astonished at the incomprehensible sight, suddenly focused on him.
“The emperor’s endless greed has been punished!”
A voice that resonates throughout the battlefield.
It was a statement that would have made anyone tilt their head if they had heard it in a normal state, but when the voice overlapped with the image of the devastated imperial army, it somehow sounded plausible. The scene just now was something that could not possibly have happened according to the common sense of today.
“what?”
“I think it’s true?”
“They say the empire has been punished!”
The murmuring voices spread out in an instant.
And it wasn’t just in the McLane camp.
“Uh, because we’re invading?”
“How can this be…”
“Is this really a divine punishment for us…?”
The imperial central army, which had strict military discipline, also fell into panic. The scene that just happened was that shocking.
“What nonsense…!”
Galen Decade, the mage of the cold wind who had retreated in shock and was dealing with the aftermath of the canceled spell, shouted a beat late.
But now that the atmosphere had completely changed, his cries only sounded like a belated struggle.
Instead, Logan’s subsequent shout covered his voice and echoed through the battlefield again.
“God’s will is with us! All armies attack!! Crush the dogs of the Empire!”
