Infinite Mage - Chapter 892
Coming Disaster (1)
The 2nd Valkyrie Corps, which had begun its march from all over the Central Continent, gathered at the Canian Plateau.
Tess, who was looking at the rocky terrain that stretched out to the end of her vision, turned her head to Lian.
“What happened to Sirone?” Based on common sense, I should have already finished reporting to the Ivory Tower and returned.
“I don’t know. But it will be okay.” Sirone is strong.
However, it was unsettling that even the temple had not yet been able to determine the location of Yahweh.
‘Why didn’t you go to the ivory tower? ‘Why didn’t you go?’
For Rian, the top priority for protection is Shirone.
Tess, who knew that fact, asked.
“Are you sure you can stay here?” Lian kept his mouth shut.
I wanted to find Sirone, but I couldn’t leave even after knowing Habitz’s abilities.
‘And Natasha.’
She moves at an unrivaled speed, and it was impossible to keep her in check except for Lian.
‘He will come find me.’
Even from the Demon Race’s point of view, Maha’s Knight is a key element of Valkyrie that must be dealt with first.
“You just have to last one day.”
When the changed orders came from the temple, the entire 2nd Corps seemed to be able to breathe.
“I’m going to stop Natasha. But we can’t stop Habitz. “Take care, Tess.”
Tess swallowed her saliva as she remembered the vanishing.
“don’t worry. “I’m sure you’ll stay sane.”
It wasn’t something that could be prevented by coming to one’s senses, but there was no other way.
“Is Amy going to be okay?”
It was difficult to find Amy in the barracks, which were spread out for miles.
“Because it is a magic unit, we will move frequently according to strategy. “Maybe we can meet during battle.”
Lian tried to speak calmly.
Once the battle begins, each person must give their all to their mission.
‘No one can do it for you.’
Saving oneself was the only way to survive in this hell.
“Amy…
Tess conveyed this message with her heart to her friend who was refining her mind somewhere on the other side.
‘Let’s make sure we survive.’
With the return of the outcasts and the changed orders of the temple, the morale of the army soared.
And as the appointed time approached, the standard became a cold blade and was aimed at the enemy camp.
“Whoa.”
The 6th Battalion, commanded by Amy, was responsible for supporting firepower at the rear of the vanguard.
‘you can do it.’
Iruki said he was going to die.
There is no disagreement, but Amy believed in what she had done so far more than anything else.
‘Fight!’
When she got up and left the barracks, the crew was waiting.
“It’s time, battalion commander.” From the looks in the eyes of the crew members who had overcome their fear, Amy realized that there was no need for further words.
“let’s go.”
Amy’s unit joined in the middle where the 20,000 troops of the vanguard were separated to the left and right.
Support would first go to the side that collapsed, and from then on, instructions from above could not be expected.
“All crew members, listen!”
The person in charge of the vanguard was Brigadier General Taigang, a famous swordsman in the central continent.
“The enemy we will face from now on is…!” A huge cloud of dust rose from the horizon and the ground began to shake.
“Brigadier General.”
There is no time to even say goodbye.
‘Yes, this is war.’
Taigang, who had been watching the dust on the front line indifferently, turned towards the unit and smiled.
“It was an honor to have you guys.”
As his mind penetrated into the hearts of the crew faster than words, his eyes became bloodshot.
“Waaaa!”
As if being pushed away by the shouts, Taigang started his horse, drew his sword, and shouted.
“Let’s kill!”
It was the beginning.
On a plateau where strategy and tactics were useless, the distance between humans and demons gradually became closer.
‘It’s coming!’
Amy’s unit charging from the middle line saw a shadow hiding in the dust.
“Kaaaa!”
An army of 200 million soldiers, which the eye could not capture in its entirety, was running with a loud roar.
“Huhhh…
A moan couldn’t help but escape from between Amy’s gritted teeth.
fear.
But it’s okay.
‘it’s okay. I came this far.’ From now on, what will move the military will not be simple will or determination, but irreversible inertia.
“Start shelling!”
Following Amy’s instructions, hundreds of wizards shot flames toward the front.

And everything was trampled.
Valkyrie Command.
“Here’s a report! “The 3rd Division of the 2nd Corps assembled on the Canian Plateau has been annihilated!”
the commander asked.
“What is the expected amount of damage?”
“It is impossible to know exactly. When calculated per unit area, it is estimated to be more than 30,000.”
“Hmm.”
Iruki bit his nails while his lungs made a sound that sounded like there was a hole in his breathing.
“30,000.”
It had only been two hours since the battle started.
‘We have to hold out for another 22 hours.’
The most miserable thing was that no help could be given to the 2nd Corps.
‘Let’s not think about what we cannot do.’
Iruki got up from his seat, walked to the other side of the table, and looked at the map.
“Forget the Battle of the Plateau. What you need to think about from now on is counterattacking. “What was the deployment like?”
“It’s done. “The best place is here.” This rookie’s eyes were colder than ever as he examined the place pointed out by the commander.
6 hours after the start of the war.
‘ what?’
Amy stood up covered in dust and watched the world spin around.
‘Where am I?’
Canian Plateau.
‘What am I doing?’ During war.
An answer immediately appeared in the back of my mind, but it had no sense of reality, as if it was blocked by a wall.
‘Am I alive?’
I knew that activating self-image memory would restore the mind from a state of shock.
But my instincts refused.
‘Why am I here?’
I didn’t want to come to my senses.
What my instincts wanted was to go crazy and not realize anything.
“Kaaaa!”
The one-meter-tall anglerfish rushed at Amy, baring their jagged teeth.
A light came on in her red eyes and Amy, who had realized the moment, twisted her body to avoid it.
Mental
Attack
As I recognized the shocking reality, a surge of stress surged through my brain to the point of tearing it apart.
About
a stick
“Keuuuuu!”
But it wasn’t crazy.
“Kihehehe! Survivor! Survivor!”
Amy, with flames burning in her hands, roasted the attacking anglerfish whole.
“Battalion Commander!”
When I turned my head to hear a familiar voice, I saw 14 people, including Verik, walking with a limp.
“you!”
I felt like I met God in hell.
“are you okay? “You’re injured!”
Berik’s right wrist was gone, and he had not even managed to stop the bleeding due to his hasty dodge.
“I am okay. Hurry and avoid it. “We are already quite far from the base.”
“If you bleed any more here, you’ll die.” Amy, who had torn her military uniform into thin pieces, wrapped it tightly around Beric’s arm and forearm and tightened it tightly.
“Aaaah!”
I was in excruciating pain as my nerves were being compressed, but it was not the time to worry about such things.
“it’s okay. “Is this the only survivor?”
The first squad leader said.
“I do not know. “This is all the crew we met on the way.”
Amy nodded and her eyes brightened.
‘Where is it?’
Even in situations where the origin was unknown, self-image memory accurately derived the current coordinates.
Amy pointed west.
“The headquarters is over there. Follow me from now on. “I will avoid fighting as much as possible, so take care of the injured.”
The escape operation began.
The Hongan’s ability guided the way in any situation, but it could not completely avoid the demons that filled the sky and the earth.
In several small-scale skirmishes, three members were lost, and two hours later, another person was killed.
“ha! ha!”
A distance that would never be impossible if it were a straight line.
‘I never give up.’
I felt like I was going crazy because I was so annoyed at the thought of having to stay in the same place like a thread.
As the sun was setting, Amy finally heard the roar of battle coming through.
“I’m here! Arrived. “Everyone, please cheer up a little more.”
Since the demons were moving forward like crazy, there would be no problem in detouring to the base.
“Kkkkkk! found.”
At the voice heard from the sky, Amy’s face turned pale and the crew members’ eyes showed despair.
“I miss you.”
The bull-headed demon hanging from the monster’s leg raised its mouth evilly.
‘By the way…
Division Commander Parkma, whom I have competed with before.
‘No, it’s not a coincidence.’
Pakma, clutching the huge ax with both hands, fell from the sky with a thud.
“Did you think you could run away?”
The side of my side where Amy hit me still throbbed.
“I told you, even if it means cutting out my retina, I’ll engrave your face on it. I haven’t killed anyone since. Because I was looking for you.” Amy pursed her lips as she looked behind her.
‘We’re almost there.’
It was suicidal to deal with the lively Parkma when everyone was exhausted.
“I’m the one you want, right?”
Parkma, realizing what Amy wanted to say, laughed bitterly.
“no. All I want is for you to do what you hate the most. For example…
Parkma suddenly appeared and swung a large axe, cutting off the heads of the injured members.
“like this?”
Amy’s face contorted in anger and the others joined forces at the same time.
“I’m dying!”
Flames and cold rain rained down on him, but Parkma came right at him, as if he had no intention of avoiding it.
“haha! You must have suffered quite a bit? “It’s much worse than before?”
The large ax had no mercy, and in the end, everyone except Amy and Berik died.
“Now there are no distractions, right? “Shall we take a moment to do our homework?”
As Parkma approached, pounding the ground, Berik blocked Amy’s path.
“Go, battalion commander. “I will buy time.”
That’s what Amy wanted to say.
“You go. “I will take charge of it.”
“I don’t think that’s possible. You know. “I can’t go back to base with my skills.”
“I am the leader. “This is my responsibility.”
“…Humans die anyway.”
“what?”
Berik looked back while Parkma watched with the ax on his shoulder.
“My father said that. When you have to make a difficult choice, remember that the end of all life is death. “Then you can really make the right choice.”
Berik looked forward again.
“Of course I want to live. But if that’s not possible, I want to make the right choice.”
Amy gritted her teeth.
“Right choice? “Is dying for me the right choice?”
“no.”
Berik slowly stood up.
“You were born a man, so it’s better to look cool in front of the woman you love, right?”
I’m going to die anyway.
“I was so glad you returned to the unit. Because you chose us, not your lover. Honestly…
Berik looked back and smiled sadly.
“I felt like I defeated that blessed bastard.” “go. You deserve to live. And I… become a really cool guy.”
Berik kicked the ground and rushed forward.
“Forever.”
