Jonber wins (5)
Chris and his party reunited with the Demon King at a desolate rocky mountain.
The mountain, which may have originally been used as a workplace for woodcutters, was lined with charred trees like tombstones.
The rocks covered with ashes and the sun silently watch over the seven people.
Elgar still let go of his eyes as if he had lost his temper.
But it doesn’t run as blindly as usual.
The momentum exuded by the people in front of her is on a different level than before.
That fact was clear enough that even she, who had fallen to the point of becoming a mere beast, could notice.
“Haaa… … .”
A heavy sigh escaped from the depths of his throat.
However, the order of the chest god was very clear.
She moved her incontinent stretched arm and swung the cane.
Intermediate spells that do not even require a second word jump out of the ruby embedded in the head of the staff.
‘Flame dance.’
Even if it is an intermediate level spell used by wizards in rural areas, it becomes a feast of the ages if it is unfolded in the hands of a person at the level of the demon king.
The magical power accumulated by killing countless people is transformed into a ball of fire. It instantly turned the surrounding space into a sea of fire.
Chris gritted his teeth as he pulled back from the blazing heat.
It was natural if it was natural, but Elgar did not recognize himself.
In fact, if it had been something that would only end with a face-to-face encounter, there would be no way Gearick would have said such a thing.
“Come on, go.”
The Sword King, who had fought Elgar several times before, pushed the King of Swords back.
The King of Fist fiercely charged Elgar while grinding his teeth inevitably.
The moment his strong body tried to strike the demon king through the flames, the flames scattered across the rocky mountain condensed into him.
“uh… Ugh! aaagh!”
The spherical fireball created by Elgar imprisoned the Fist King and burned it fiercely.
King Kwon didn’t stop regenerating even in the prison of fear… I can’t even control my body properly because of the terrible pain.
Even if he hurriedly pulled back, he couldn’t get out of the prison of fire.
The demon king’s spell pursues the target to the end and pours uncontrollable firepower.
“Uh, what… … .”
“good. What is the approximate capacity of that spell?”
Tyrone, who witnessed the heinous spell, was astonished, while the Sword King exclaimed and asked Illesis a question.
She finishes her calculations quickly, even with her eyes quivering.
“Ignition at 4,000 degrees Celsius, infinite duration, tracking effect… Ordinary wizards use three spells, but with Elgar-sama’s skill, only two?”
“that’s enough. I used that guy to seal two out of seven spells, so it’s a trade that’s left over.”
Saying that, the Sword King raised his longsword and charged forward.
The stance of stabbing the sword and charging is so fast and neat that it seems as if it has teleported.
In the blink of an eye, he changes position several times and attacks the demon king.
“Yeah, it’s different from us. Epic item, vanguard flag!”
Tyrone tried to take out the phoenix’s magic bow after using the epic item for the buff.
Then Chris stopped him and spoke quickly.
“Hey, what is our strategy?”
“ah… right. But shouldn’t we apply right now?”
“What would change if we intervened there? Save your strength for now.”
The fight between the Sword King and the Demon King was tearing the entire surrounding space apart.
Even if Chris and the others joined, it would be like going out with a water gun in a forest fire.
The safety of the party and the success of the operation.
Either way, it is better to aim for a clear gap.
While the king of singers was performing music with a lute, and Tyrone was confused listening to his explanation. Illesis whispered to Chris.
“Hey, then can I stay still?”
“Do you have any good ideas?”
“It’s not like it’s a strategy, there’s just one spell I’ve been preparing for a long time… … .”
Before Illesis finished speaking, a roar rang out from the sky.
I wondered if the demon king’s spell had missed, so I turned my head, but it wasn’t.
A huge shadow fell over the heads of Chris and his party, who were hiding behind a rock.
Soon, a loud voice like thunder rang in the ears of the party.
It is a voice that makes ordinary people vomit blood and faint just by hearing it.
“Stupid things! The direct descendant of the Red Dragon King’s blood, the great Callisia, was born in person! Everyone bow their heads and thank them!”
“Um, what is that again?”
The owner of the shadow that covered Chris and his party was a huge red dragon.
The length of the body is about 15 meters.
The well-polished scales, like steel armor, scatter the sunlight, bothering the eyes of the party.
Literally the size of a house, the red dragon flaps its wings and glides in place.
Soon after, all kinds of magic circles flickered above his head, and various spells rushed in aiming at the demon king tied to the sword king.
The spells used were mediocre intermediate spells, but when the Balaur’s mighty magical power was put in them, they exceeded the power of quite a few advanced spells.
The demon king, caught up in an incessant spell, had to reinforce the magic barrier.
Chris and the others were concerned about the Sword King who was by her side, but he had long since deviated from the range of the spell.
After widening the distance and controlling his breathing, the Sword King raised his longsword with both hands and lowered it with force.
Contrary to the appearance he showed so far, a blow full of sincerity.
I can’t even guess how much stronger the technology that used to smash the castle wall with a rough blow.
Indeed, Elgar, who was hit by the sword king’s flash, threw herself away, clutching her chest with her left hand.
This is the first effective hit in this battle.
“Did the Dragon King, who had been bystander until now, move? After all, the difficult contact is worthwhile!”
When the king of singers, who had settled down, let out a delight, Calicia of the sky snorted.
“Bard! Praise the mercy of my lord. When this battle is over, I will receive a congratulatory song in front of all people.”
“What can I not do if I just defeat the demon king?”
“Stop talking and focus.”
The Sword King straightened his posture and spoke in a sharp voice.
The stance he is taking now is the upper level of kendo.
The posture of holding the long sword high with both hands is very powerful, but the risk is high because the chest is empty.
The reason why he dared to take such a stance was simple.
‘Does that mean I’ll leave the defense to my colleagues?’
Tyrone, who, like Chris, saw through his intentions, asked with an expression that looked like he was about to run away.
“chris. Aren’t we supposed to join in now?”
“Don’t be stupid! Jonber doesn’t do it that way.”
The one who jumps out of nowhere just because he sees a small kill angle is not a jerk, but a coward.
In the first place, if he had been able to win to the extent that Chris joined him right now, he wouldn’t have had to suffer for the past six days to sap his magic.
It would have been better to gather in front of the Dragon King’s residence and protest as a group.
In the meantime, Elgar, who had refined his defense spells, raised an army of ghosts with a single wave of his staff. Then, he makes a chain rise from the ground and aims at the gliding Callicea.
Callisia soars higher into the air and bombards the undead with spells.
In the midst of the explosion and the scattering of dirt, the Sword King strikes his sword again.
An intangible flash cut through countless ghost knights and reached Elgar.
However, unlike before, Elgar easily blocked it and created an additional chain to hold onto Calcia.
Then, King Singer clicked his tongue and looked in the direction of King Kwon.
“Oops, is this already over!”
“Ouch… … .”
Kwonwang, whose whole body was burned, was still breathing.
However, the wounds are so severe that it seems unlikely that the battle will continue. Even with his monstrous life force, recovering from the wound didn’t seem easy.
The demon king gave up on ending him and poured his energy into other enemies.
It is an overly cool and appropriate judgment for losing reason.
“also… Seeing how you use magic and strategy, it doesn’t mean you’ve completely lost your intellect.”
“Callisia! Can you escape?”
While Chris muttered awkwardly, the Sword King shouted to the sky.
The chains Elgar had created did not break even with the muscular strength of a 15-meter-tall body.
Callisia, who had struggled to maintain altitude by flapping her wings, responded with an angry voice as if she had risen.
“How dare you try to redeem the daughter of the Red Dragon King! wait a moment. Don’t cut things like this right away! kurrr… … .”
Intense fire rises from the chest of Callicea, who has chanted with a lot of murderous thoughts.
The strongest weapon that dragons are born with.
It is to prepare a breath that can only be used once a day.
The Sword King exclaimed, apprehensive at her actions.
“Stop! Do you think that would work for the King of Magic!”
“Shut up! Grrr Quaaa!”
Dark red flames poured from the open mouth with a strange spirit.
The breath, which was full of the energy of nature, mercilessly swept the land that seemed to be unable to burn any longer.
Even the gray ashes that filled the heavens and earth were burned by the flames, and the army of ghosts could not find even a trace of them.
However, the Demon King, who was located in the center of the breath, just calmly raised his staff.
Protection spells cast by her herself and protection spells overlaid by her staff.
A total of seven layers of spells completely block Calcia’s breath.
The Sword King immediately scolded Calcia for wasting the dragon’s strongest weapon.
“To think you’re using your precious breath here… … .”
What Calicia just did is trolling at its worst.
The sword king and the rest of the staff slowly created gaps, and the deadly blows to insert into the gaps were wasted too futilely.
The dragon’s breath sweeps away a very wide range, so there is a risk that even allies will be caught up in it.
Because of this, no one could properly support her while she was using her breath. If there was any consolation, it was that Elgar used all his spells to stop it, and Callicea was free.
Elgar, who was able to use all his strength for defense without even being disturbed, blocked the breath very easily. Although a lot of mana was consumed, this was a business that left much to be desired for her.
If King Geum had heard this news, he would have collapsed from a stomach ache.
“Heh… nice… hehehe.”
The demon king, who predicted his superiority, mocks his enemies with a strange laugh.
Spurred on by that, Callisia started acting without thinking.
But a charge without countermeasures was not the answer.
Elgar’s new chains bound the claws that tried to attack him.
“Heuk!”
Soon after, the stone spears that rose from the ground pierced the scales of the dragons and pierced their flesh, spraying red blood.
It is similar to the spell used by Illesis, but the power is completely different.
When the Sword King swung his sword and cut through the chain, Callisia stepped back and left the line.
“At this point, it helped me enough. Let you guys take care of the rest!”
“That kid is really… … .”
The Sword King showed an angry expression, which was very rare, and responded to Elgar’s attack.
Even the boredom that had plagued him for decades would be fleeting compared to Calicia’s trolling.
If it wasn’t for Elgar in front of me, I think I would have turned my back and chewed up Calcia.
While blocking the stone spears with the King, he vowed to kill the Dragon King after the Demon King and shouted at Chris and his party in the back.
“How long are you going to play!”
“Yes, I am going.”
Chris finally put an end to the long standstill and took action.
Even if he had joined from the beginning, Calcia’s shoveling would have eaten it all up.
So, in the end, the decision to conserve power was correct.
The Sword King and Singer knew that well, so they didn’t blame him.
Compared to the others, Chris and his party were very energetic and confidently stepped out from behind the rocks.
On the other hand, the demon king has been exhausted step by step since six days ago.
Now, the remaining magic power should be only about 20% of the usual.
Although Calicia messed things up a lot, there was no problem because her participation in the war itself was out of calculation in the first place.
The current situation is much better than he expected.
The Demon King raised the undead without hesitation in the battle of the new enemies.
While the Sword King and Singer were breathing hard, Chris stood side by side with them.
