Whoops Woowook
Powerful attack magic pouring down like a comet. A magical bombardment disturbing the snowfield.
A northern extinction tainted with blood and flesh.
Kwagwagagagagagang—!!
It could no longer be called an engagement.
From the moment the Ministry of Magic and Imperial support arrived, it turned into a one-sided massacre. It was to the point where the demons felt pity.
Ku-gu-gu-goo—!!
Geeek·······
I am leisurely watching the scene from the study on the 3rd floor of the dorm. It’s not just me, but all the lesser classes are not participating in the battle.
The reason was simple.
because there’s nothing to do
It should be ‘defended’ only when the monsters’ attacks reach it, ‘healing’ only when there is an injured person, and ‘medicine’ only when there is an injured person to recover.
Why can’t this reach the base camp, let alone the vicinity…
It’s a fight that doesn’t become a game at the moment…
The weaker class did not even have a chance to be active.
In the first place, 「Demonstration」 is not an episode where the battle is the main story, so in a way, it was a natural result.
“Demonstration southward”, which was unprecedentedly advanced by 30 years.
The main content of this episode is the confrontation between Karios, who foresaw the fact, and the courtiers who raised objections to it.
Conflicts between characters and politics of the empire were the focus, and the battle itself was not specifically dealt with in the original work.
Except for one thing, the last wave.
Wooo—-
The sound of the trumpet announcing the end of the southern river rang out.
Since this is the 9th wave, only the last wave was left.
I put on a small smile.
“·······”
The last wave that was specifically dealt with in the original work.
As it is the final blow, not only the monsters but also the black magician joins the southern invasion. It wouldn’t be as easy as the previous waves, but it wasn’t an unstoppable attack either.
This is because the warlocks dispersed to several camps.
At the time of serialization, I was criticized for this – why did the black magicians disperse and attack the camp instead of joining forces, the writer was too stupid, it was really writer’s opportunism – it was an inevitable development for the battle scene of Karios .
Cadein, who appeared vigorously, ran away, however, pushed by the firepower of the Empire. Carios chases after this alone, and a famous scene of its own is born, in which Cadein is killed by throwing a pot of water in the white snowy field.
The picture gets a bit weird if the dark wizards are involved in it, so it was right to pay attention to the main character’s directing even if he was criticized.
By the way, if you catch Cadein running away, of course you’ll get credit, right?
Then, will Karios’ reputation recover even a little?
“·······”
I moved my gaze to the desk. I stopped my thoughts and read “By the Space: Magnificence of Magical Power”.
Tack – Tack –
Fireplace with sparks.
A cold wind blows in and shakes the windows, and the steamy coffee quickly cools down.
Study unfinished studies in that quiet atmosphere. The high level of concentration blurs the surroundings, and the characters and spells become clear.
“·······”
I’ve already mastered more than half of it.
I haven’t been able to raise magic efficiency yet, but I’ve succeeded to some extent in gigantism.
An example is that he prevented an avalanche by maximizing the range of manifestation of [Spiritual Injury].
Like this, ‘magnification of magical power’ is an auxiliary magic that can extremely expand the range of magic. Unless the efficiency of magic power can be improved, the consumption of magic power will be extreme.
Slowly
Unlike usual, I turned the pages with my left hand.
This is because the right arm has already been taken away by someone.
“·······”
Narsha clings to the seat next to her and leans her head against it.
She is looking at some thesis while hugging my right arm. They say that it will be used as a reference for the newly developed healing technique.
“······why?”
Did you notice my gaze?
Narsha quietly raised her head. He asked, putting his cheek on my shoulder.
“Can’t you concentrate because I’m by your side?”
A triumphant smile appeared on Narsha’s face.
“Oh, that’s why I asked you to sit separately.”
It was even shameless.
I’m sure they sat separately at first, but who was the one who quietly came next to me and hugged me first?
Of course, I didn’t really push it either.
I laughed lightly.
Then, looking at Narsha, he said clearly.
“no. My arm is numb.”
“·······”
“Because someone has been leaning on it for so long.”
Then, Narsha quietly removed herself.
After glaring at him with disapproving eyes for a moment, he got up from his seat and quickly moved to the other side of the desk.
This time it clung to his left arm.
“Now is it? I’m busy, so don’t disturb me.”
said in a hoarse voice.
Unlike him, his face was smiling Betsy. As if that smile had spread, the corners of my lips also naturally went up.
“okay.”
I put my hand on Narsha’s head.
He gently stroked his hair and read the magic book. Then, by the time your hand stops.
“Why… touch me more.”
Narsha stabbed Cuck Cuk in the side.
I stroked her hair again. I was fortunate to be good at multitasking.
＊＊＊
next day.
I’m still stuck in my study. Calmly perusing the magic book.
Then I looked up and looked at the clock on the wall.
Tick-tock-
The current time is 1:20 PM.
It was 40 minutes before the last wave. I had to prepare to leave.
It’s not wrong, because the warlock is participating in the last wave.
Unlike assault-type monsters that can only attack at close range, warlocks were able to attack from a distance. In other words, a defense mage was essential for this wave.
There are a total of 1,000 black magicians stationed in Erythia.
There are a total of 150 camps in the north, so about 7 warlocks will attack one camp.
With 7 people, I was able to stop it enough by myself. There seemed to be no difficulty whatsoever.
Stop it quickly and return to the academy…
─────!
At that moment, a black straight line passed through the window.
It slammed into the ground, leaving a vague afterimage, and the ground shook with a roar.
Kugoong
An ominous aura that spreads thickly at the same time.
I opened the window and stared down. As if a meteorite had fallen, the hollow ground was stained black, and black smoke rose above it.
Seeing that scene, a certain magic suddenly came to mind.
“Dakmeteo…”
A ranged attack using black magic.
At the time of the last wave, it was the magic that the warlocks would manifest towards the camp. It was a kind of signal flare to announce the raid.
But, why did it fall now…?
There is still time before the final wave begins.
I turned my head the other way. I looked at the wide plain where the monsters would attack.
“·······”
the far end of the horizon.
Black waves rippled along the border where the boundary between heaven and earth was uncertain. A group of black men were coming in droves.
They were magic beasts.
Ding-! Ding-! Ding-! Ding-!
A loud ringing bell.
The sentry shouted vigorously.
“Masuda! Witch Beast! The Witchbeast appeared!!”
The last wave had suddenly begun.
I stared blankly at the scene.
“how······”
I didn’t understand it at all.
Why did this variable occur, and why was the southward movement accelerated?
The questions in my head were unanswered.
There were no clues, and I wasn’t given enough time to think about it.
Shuuwook
Something launched from the distant sky flew here in a parabolic arc.
I reflexively raised my head.
“·······”
Dark clouds as if it would snow soon. a cool wind blowing.
Hundreds of Darkmeteo poured down over the gray painted sky. Like a meteor shower, they headed for the easternmost camp, drawing a long tail like an afterimage.
Shuuwook
[Sensitive Five Senses]—-When I analyzed it with [Vision], the number exceeded about 950.
In other words, more than 90% of the 1000 black magicians were targeting the easternmost camp.
This variable is also incomprehensible.
But I couldn’t just keep looking for the cause. A large-scale attack that would completely annihilate the camp was due to arrive soon.
“Suck!”
I jumped straight out the window.
After landing lightly, he warmed up his mana.
Weiying·······
Circumstantially, it is not right to express 「Expedium」.
You can avoid the attack by moving your camp to another place right now, but that was the problem after that.
Innumerable Dark Meteors will devastate the ground, and if you return the camp on top of it, the base will be twisted and the buildings of the base camp will collapse.
Instead of fighting against the demons, they will self-destruct.
However, it is not possible to block over 900 Dark Meteors individually.
There was only one way.
“·······”
After taking a deep breath, I stretched out my hands toward the sky.
Then I drew an image in my head.
A translucent circular barrier.
The basic of defensive magic, barrier.
Then, a formula popped into my mind.
A magic circle with three overlapping circles, with straight lines and curves intertwined.
“Barrier” memorized in my mind.
I added a special stroke to the spell.
oh oh oh oh oh
A total of 10 purple strokes were drawn, and a purple hexagonal spell was placed on top of the blue circle spell.
It was a fusion of “magnification of magical power” with “Barrier”.
————!
As soon as the magic circle was completed, the manifestation began.
As if an explosion had occurred within the body, as if an aura was suddenly released, the magic power of the whole body was radiated throughout the entire body. It colored the entire space.
A turbulence made in an instant.
The wind, which had been blowing lightly, had completely stopped, and the surroundings became extremely quiet.
I slowly opened my eyes
“·······”
The sky is still overcast.
The sky above the building was covered with a translucent curtain. The huge [Barrier] covered the easternmost camp like a dome.
The second gigantic magic manifested.
The mana efficiency was low, so the mana consumption was extreme, but this much was tolerable.
At least Darkmeteo was able to stop it.
“Barrier…?”
At that time, someone looked up at the sky and muttered a low voice.
“It seems to fit, but the size is…”
They were Ministry of Magic agents who came out late.
After being dumbfounded for a while, they came up to me and asked.
“this. What is this?”
“What the hell happened?”
I said calmly.
“This is Demonic Namha. However, it will be stronger than before. Hurry up and get ready.”
Just then, the door to the dorm burst open. As if he hadn’t woken up from sleep, Ergon, who had thick double eyelids, approached with small strides.
“master. What a loud noise just-”
Ergon, who discovered the barrier, was speechless. I rubbed my eyes several times.
“What is that… is it still a dream?”
“It is not a dream.”
I firmly shook my head.
At that moment, a huge vibration occurred.
Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gung—————!!
Darkmeteo collided with the barrier.
Surprised by the roar, Ergon nodded his head.
“Wow, it certainly doesn’t seem like a dream!”
“Yes. Just prepare yourself.”
“yes? what······?”
“Masu Namha.”
“yes!? me?”
Ergon asked in surprise.
I turned my head regardless. I stared at the long alleyway, the countless monsters that could be seen between the buildings, and Darkmeteo, which was launched once again.
“okay. You’ll have to do your best for the last wave.”
······
The last wave ahead of schedule.
Nevertheless, the demons were annihilated in the same way as in the original work. It was much faster than other camps.
The problem is that unexpected variables existed.
sss
The warlocks who should have dispersed to each camp gathered at the easternmost camp.
More than 900 black magicians manifested powerful black magic, and the members of the easternmost side did their best to resist. As a result, he killed numerous black magicians, but the damage was severe as well.
Many wizards suffered fatal injuries.
“What kind of terrible operation is this…”
If this continues, casualties will be inevitable.
So I manifested 「Expedium」. Everyone except me, no, I moved the camp itself to a safe place.
The easternmost part of the northern part has now become an empty vacant lot.
A cold wind blew over that desolate land.
wheee
Snowflakes that bloomed like dust. A small blizzard rising as if in retrograde.
Black smoke scattered between them.
“Are you sure you’re going to handle all of us alone…”
Hundreds of warlocks in black robes surrounded me. Vicious black magic shone from their bodies.
I silently warmed up my mana.
“I wonder if that will be possible.”
It was dizzy.
My vision got blurry and my breathing quickened.
It must mean that there is not much magic left.
I slowly turned around and watched the warlocks.
Roughly 300 people.
But there are no reinforcements to help me.
It was because the other camps were busy blocking the beast. They probably don’t even know I’m in danger.
It was rather good.
Because I can express attack magic to my heart’s content without being aware of my surroundings.
“·······”
I opened my palms.
“Ultimate Flame”, a wide-range attack magic that has been honed.
Due to various restrictions, it was not easy to even manifest, but not now.
No need to worry about fire.
It was snow all around.
I didn’t have to worry about the gaze.
All warlocks will be reduced to ashes anyway.
The moment I tried to emit flames with both hands like that.
wheee
A gust of wind blew behind my back.
At the same time, a solemn voice echoed through the space.
“I came. my friend.”
Low, overbearing mid-bass.
It has an airy yet solemn archaic style.
The voice of the main character in this novel who never sets foot in the northeast.
“…?”
I slowly turned my head. At the same time, the black magicians also shifted their gaze.
All attention focused.
In the place where the bewildered eyes were concentrated, a man appeared, causing a blizzard.
Blue sparks flew all over his body, followed by dark clouds like shadows.
I couldn’t believe my eyes
“Why are you…”
Karios Cedric.
Why did the guy who should be chasing Cadein by now come here?
Could it be that you came to help me…? Why?
As if to answer that question, Karios spoke in a low voice.
“You didn’t abandon me, so I won’t abandon you either.”
“·······”
Seeing that, I froze in place.
It wasn’t because I was overjoyed. Also Karios! It wasn’t that kind of feeling.
What about Cadane when you come here?
Then what about Cadane, you bastard ?
