91 – Isn’t this a complete scam?
Prime Minister Eli gets hit by a ship from the side.
Following her actions, which succeeded in pushing between the accompanying ships escorting her and accurately attacking the flagship Graves, Nelson began to monitor the situation coolly.
‘It’s not just about being good at navigation… I don’t know exactly, but it must have used some kind of magic.’
However, you may not know it, but it would have taken a huge amount of mana to move that huge ship.
The level is at least level 10.
Maybe he can fight on equal footing with Nelson… Or, with the thought that there might be someone with more power on that ship,
She began to gather her magical power into the staff she was holding.
‘It’s pretty good, right? Then, shall we take a look at his face and see what kind of guy he is?’
With that thought,
Nelson began to radiate her immense magical power from her own body as she was.
Immediately after that, thunder and lightning began to strike this area.
In the midst of the sea shaking and the storm raging, she began calling for the ‘strong man’ on that ship.
Then.
“Huh!…”
As if in response, an enormous wave of magical power suddenly began to be clearly felt.
As a level 11 mage, Nelson automatically began to frown at her power that gave even her goosebumps, even though she was proud of being the strongest being in the empire.
And…
-Hook!
“!”
-Chaeng!!!!
The next moment, a being suddenly appears before her eyes, like a shooting star.
A young woman with silver hair and fiery eyes.
She swung the two swords she held in both hands with her magic power,
Nelson defended himself with a staff filled with condensation.
-Pageable!!!
Flames generated when magic and magic collide.
In the meantime, Nelson began to feel even more wary towards this woman who was glaring at her with a cold expression.
‘This guy… Be strong!’
Although she was not a warrior, as a top-level mage, she also learned a considerable level of condensation magic.
The condensation of quite a few warriors can be easily cut to pieces.
However,
The woman’s sword that was clashing with her was actually trying to break her condensation.
Even considering that her opponent was a warrior, Nelson could not help but be shocked by the sheer force of her magic, crushing her as a level 11 mage.
“Haaa!!!”
– It’s so crazy!!!
Swinging the jechang like a spear, Nelson tried to push his opponent.
Nelson attempts to block the sword’s path using his relatively superior distance.
Although she is a wizard, her abilities as a warrior aren’t bad either, so she swung her staff at this woman in front of her, trying to somehow cut off her head.

But…
“Pfft!”
The movements of the silver-haired woman that even her transcendental physical abilities due to her enhanced body could not keep up with.
It was as if she knew where her wand would go, and Nelson began to feel himself being put on the defensive.
‘Was there a warrior like this in the Kingdom of Franz? Damn… It’s not good as it is. First of all, I have to somehow end the close combat, which is relatively unfavorable to me!’
If it’s quite an enemy, it’s probably the same level… No, it was probably impossible to continue close combat against a warrior with more power than her.
In order to increase the distance between himself and his opponent, Nelson also delivered a surprise blow to the enemy.
He decided to use another spell.
‘It was a good idea to get insurance when I started, just in case.’
Fortunately, the enemy seemed to be only concentrating on dealing with his own staff in front of him.
Even her battle itself is going in her favor, so she probably won’t turn her attention to other things psychologically.
Aiming for that point.
Nelson gathered her magic power and powerfully pushed the enemy away with her staff.
“!… “
And.
-Kwajijijijik!!!!
Nelson activates the magic previously created in the sky and drops it towards the enemy in front of him.
A golden thunderbolt tore through the sky and fell right here.
The power was adjusted to a certain extent as there was a risk of damage to the flagship if the ship was used with all its might, but this alone was enough to reduce a decent number of people to ashes at once.
It is certain that Nelson widened the distance from the enemy and inflicted a significant fatal wound at the same time.
But…
“! Radish… what?”
“… “
Death… Even if you don’t do it, it’s a blow that could still be a fatal blow.
However, it was blocked in vain by the silver-haired woman’s defense.
‘Magic barrier?… Ah… No, you can barely stop me with such basic magic… ‘
It was possible that it was some special defensive magic that she was unaware of, but she was not seen using any particularly notable magic.
However,
If this had really been prevented with just the magical barrier, a basic magic that did not require a separate magic circle, it would have been truly terrifying.
No matter how much she adjusted her strength, the fact that she, an 11th grade archmage, could block the highest level magic without even a scratch with the most basic magic that did not even use a magic circle,
It does not simply mean that there are many magic barrels,
It meant that the mastery of the magic in question was enormous.
This is something that may take tens or even hundreds of years, even if it is not just one or two years of training.
‘What the hell is this guy…? ‘What is it?’
With that in mind, Nelson quickly reloads his magic again.
In any case, as this widened the distance between her, she once again gathered her magic power and tried to unleash her attack on the enemy in front of her.
But…
“hehehe… “
“!”
The next moment, a smile began to bloom from the woman’s mouth.
However. Before he could even begin to question the meaning of her smile, a look of deep confusion began to appear on Nelson’s face.
“This… This guy… How?”
White magical power begins to flow around the silver-haired woman.
They soon began to transform into countless magic circles with six-pointed stars drawn in front of Nelson’s eyes.
At a glance, it is comparable to Nelson… No, it is high-level magic that may be at a higher level than that.
Watching it try to activate.
Nelson came to realize that he had been greatly mistaken.
‘Do… Wizard… Called? ‘
An illusion he had because he was wielding two swords rather than a staff.
If this were to happen, widening the distance might not have been beneficial, but rather a self-defeating decision that might have made the situation even more unfavorable.
“Damn it!”
Even if you regret it now, it is of no use.
In response, Nelson gathered all of his magic power and released the magic towards the enemy in front of him.
“Nelson Touch!!”
“Void cannon”
·
A lightning strike falling from the sky.
And…
Streams of blue light emanating from countless magic circles aimed at the front.
The rays of light that converged from the apex of the six-pointed star to a single point began pouring down right where Nelson was.
“Pfft!”
A blow so enormous that it goes beyond imagination.
In order to defend against this, Nelson had no choice but to gather his magical energy and use it for defense, even though his magical energy was being consumed by the attack.
“Kuhuheook!!!”
Magical reflux caused by excessive use of magical power.
As a result, blood poured out of Nelson’s mouth, and at the same time, the protective magic he had barely maintained began to break down.
‘Damn it!… Such magic with such close combat power… ‘Isn’t this a complete scam?’
In that case, Nelson herself was a fraud, but until now, Nelson had never once met a person equal to her.
In the first place, even General Cornwell, her pure fighting power, was one level below her, and Cromwell, whom she considered superior to herself, had a different personality as her paladin.
The fact that I met for the first time a wizard with power beyond my own…
For the first time, I felt frustrated at having to face this important moment.
Nelson eventually broke her defense magic and took a direct hit from the magic pouring towards her.

“This… this..”
The imperial army was suddenly ambushed by the fleet’s flagship.
Although at this moment, some battleships succeeded in getting close to the enemy and continuing the battle to some extent.
However,
As the flagship commanding the battlefield was struck by the attack of the Franz Kingdom army that rushed in in an instant using magic, the imperial army, including Richard, began to fall into deep confusion.
“The Graves is on fire!”
“Yes… What about General Nelson?”
“Damn it! We must save the general! “Turn the boat around!”
“Ah… It’s not possible! Now, we must march according to the general’s orders… “
The imperial army begins to panic as there is confusion in the command system.
Meanwhile, Richard made a quick decision and began to take action.
“Retreat!”
“Yes?”
“It can’t go on like this. Even if we go on the offensive again later, we must retreat now. If things continue like this, everyone will become food for fish!”
“That… that… “
“Give an order to the entire army! “We must order a retreat quickly!”
“Ah… “I understand, general!”
Following Richard’s orders, her battleship quickly begins to pull the ship and retreat.
Following this, other imperial troops also stopped their offensive and began to retreat.
And…
“Now… General! “General Nelson!”
“Pfft…” “
Nelson lying in complete disrepair.
Due to this, her commanders had no choice but to take her out of her confusion and board her in another ship to proceed with her retreat.
And this moment.
Looking at them, she…
Prime Minister Eli, the main character who turned the war situation around, which could have been a major counterattack,
Feeling a little regret, she put the two swords back into their sheaths.
Although one of her arms had been burned black by Nelson’s blow just now, she did not pay much attention to the injury and stared at the retreating imperial army.
‘Even though I used this much force, I couldn’t do as much damage as I thought… That guy named Nelson… Who would have thought that my attacks would be blocked to that extent until the very end… ‘
Despite the surprise attack, Nelson succeeded in blocking her attack and preventing the damage from spreading to the surrounding area.
If the opponent’s strength had been a little weaker, she would have succeeded in blowing up other nearby ships, but unfortunately, she did not reach that point, and at the same time, she also failed to kill Nelson himself.
In addition, although her flagship, the Grave, was half destroyed, the actual number of ships sunk among the Empire’s warships was only about two or three.
Although we succeeded in temporarily forcing them to retreat, there was ample room for them to reorganize their lines and attack again if given a little time.
‘But… It would be impossible to chase him any further than this. ‘That’s not the place I need to worry about right now.’
For now, we must be satisfied with just driving out the British Empire’s navy and temporarily securing control of the sea in this area.
Leaving behind the retreating fleet of enemies,
Ellie collected her battleships and immediately began her movement under the sky that had once again turned blue as a lie.
A place where the battle must have begun by now…
Toward York Tower.
