91. Power and reverence for power (5)
“I certainly gave the 4th Horseman the opportunity to personally issue the order to retreat. What a disappointment.”
Barton said with cold eyes.
The number of injured increased. The Guardian Knight, whose right arm was torn off, was surrounded by wizards and was in danger of death. The infiltration team tried to save him, but access was blocked by a space explosion.
“Don’t expect me to defend the Fourth Horseman.”
All Guardian Knights retreat!
The moment he was about to shout that, Barton felt Jin approaching him.
“… horse 12?”
“Sir Barton, I am sorry for the late support. I was just waiting because I didn’t receive any other orders.”
“Why don’t you keep waiting. This mission is a failure. We are going to retreat, so please go back.”
“What is your reason for retreating?”
At Jin’s provocative question, Barton’s eyes froze. It meant that you dare to show me that kind of attitude that you are also a jockey.
Difus, on the other hand, feels pretty weird, so to speak. He was feeling both the expectation that Jin would provide a trick and the shame that came from showing himself helpless.
“…because of space explosion. Because of that magic, the air supply was completely taken away. The fight has become difficult.”
Difus answered instead.
Poo-!
The three of them took one step back at the same time. Beradin caused a space explosion between them.
“It sure is dangerous.”
Jin looking up at the sky.
Veradin did not react differently when he saw Jin.
Just like he did from before, he rode the red dragon and flew around, spraying space explosions.
Jin also maintained a calm expression.
“Is there something at all?”
“Are you going to look funny until the end of the 4th rider? What the heck can a 12th Horseman do…”
“The entire space explosion can be suppressed.”
Jin interrupted Barton.
Difus doubted his ears, and Barton hesitated and turned his head.
“What do you mean? 12 horsemen. Are you saying you can take responsibility?”
“Can the mission be continued without the Space Explosion?”
Jin looked straight at Barton and said.
Barton was silent for a while, hiding his embarrassed expression, then nodded.
“If it is really possible, do it as soon as possible. It seems that the limit has been reached for the Guardian Knights.”
As far as Barton knew, ‘Space Explosion’ was a magic that could not be neutralized.
‘If this kind of blood clot was magic that could destroy it, then the many warriors who had died from their bodies exploding while challenging Kelliac had done nothing.’
However, it was difficult for Jin to shake off the ominous feeling as he had caused many surprises and miracles since his cadet days.
Barton was the only one among Ziple’s spies in Runkandel who reported directly to Kelliac.
Even so, he did not hear an explanation of how Zipple would stop him in Ventica.
The moment I saw the space explosion, I thought it was a trick. It was because there was no magic enough to create a justification for resigning. Also, the fact that Keliac shared the power of fire with Veradin gave me goosebumps.
‘If the Twelve Horsemen do indeed neutralize the Space Blast, the plan will be disrupted. If it’s at a serious level, I’d rather induce the situation to properly send the Zipple back.’
While Barton organizes his thoughts.
Jin was drinking.
As blue flames spread from Jin’s palm, the eyes of all the wizards in the sky rushed to Jin. because it felt The aura of the alien blue flame.
Gaaaaagh…!
Tess.
The owner of the flame system was roaring as he passed through the dimensional door.
My body is much bigger than before I went to Lapla Rosa. The appearance of two huge wings fluttering was similar to that of a dragon, but it was nothing compared to the red dragon’s superficial intimidation.
As Jin’s magical power grew, Tess’ energy also grew stronger.
The wizards had no time to do anything about it, and blue flames of heavy pressure were covering the air. Thousands of blue flames whirled and drew circles, almost covering the entire battlefield in an instant.
The air got heavy. Not just representations, the battlefield was literally weighed down by heavy-pressure flames.
The wings of the dragons slowed down, and the magicians controlled their breathing and unleashed magic.
The Guardian Knights did not have to bear the heavy weight. Tess has perfect control over even the smallest embers of this wide-spread blue flower. Don’t let Jin’s allies get hurt.
However, even though Kojek was exposed to the heavy pressure the most, it seemed to be unaffected at all.
“It is over, Sir Barton. Let the mission continue.”
Barton didn’t ask Jin what that meant.
It was because as soon as Tess appeared, the space explosion stopped like a lie.
Barton was not a wizard, but he was able to recognize immediately that Beradin did not stop magic just because of the sudden appearance of the phoenix.
A realm of absolute blue flame.
Unless it was used by Kelliac Ziple himself, no Shinu’s flame could penetrate it.
Rather, there were no major restrictions on general fire-type magic that did not borrow Shinu’s power.
Likewise, Tess’s flames also did not recklessly aim for Beradin. Even a person who did not know the relationship between the flame world and Shinu could recognize that the blue flower was spreading away from Beradin.
Fragments of sword weapons and naval guns were engulfed in high-pressure flames and dyed blue.
“Fourth Horsemen, please take care of the injured Guardian Knights. And Lord Barton.”
Jin raised his head and looked for Beradin.
The red dragon carrying him was flying towards Kojek. Since Tess has appeared and cannot use Space Explosion, the safety of Veradin can no longer be guaranteed outside Kojek.
Beradin did not pay attention to Jin. Her eyes, still glowing red, harbored empty hatred.
“Don’t miss the Beradin Zipple. This is your last chance to decapitate him.”
At that moment, there was only one option for Barton to choose.
Attacking Beradin Ziple with full force. If you show hesitation, you are admitting betrayal yourself, so you had to jump with all your might.
None of the Jiples present knew that Barton was their spy.
‘Sir Barton will never kill Veradin. I’ll pretend to fight with all my strength.’
That was the reason why Jin told Barton, not Dipus, to bring Beradin’s supplies.
Taking care of the lives of the Guardian Knights is at least for Dipus, who is on the side of the real Runkandel.
It is to Barton Vichena, who is on Ziffle’s side, to take care of Beradin’s life.
“Protect the young master!”
“Stop the black knight…!”
Suppressing the leap of a 10-star knight without space explosion was closer to impossible.
All kinds of attack magic is pouring down like a waterfall, but Barton seems to be securing the attack path with only his sword, their efforts put to shame.
The faces of the wizards were getting tired of seeing Barton, who started flying using his sword skills as a driving force.
However, it was impossible for Barton to reach Beradin in the shortest straight line.
Chasing after the flight of the red dragon carrying him was not an easy task, and the closer the wizards got, the more desperate they became.
“All Phoenix Contractors, summon the Phoenix! 1 Team 2 beat Jin Runkandel and keep the rest of the Black Knights in check! You must not touch the Bocchan…!”
As a commanding mage aboard the Kojek shouted, dimensional portals opened all over the sky.
Following the numerous magics and fragments created by mixing them, nearly thirty phoenixes covered the sky of Ventica.
Colored energies were swirling, obscuring vision.
The wizards who did not have excellent eyesight were literally unable to see an inch in front of the shield, and even the guardian knights could not swing their swords recklessly.
Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Tess let out a wild roar at the newly summoned Phoenixes.
‘If Murakan had been there, he would have been sarcastic. Anyway, human beings fearlessly summon phoenixes to attack the owner of the flame world.’
Jin also burst out laughing. That didn’t make sense.
Tess was only known among wizards as one of the strongest phoenixes. Not many wizards knew that he was the only absolute in the flame world.
It is information that only those who have actually been to the flame world and are related to gods or equivalent beings can know.
Unfortunately, there was no such person among the wizards of the midnight sun currently aboard Ko-Jek.
Among the phoenixes summoned by the wizards, there were several well-known phantom beasts. The phoenixes did not follow the will of the wizards and just wandered the sky in a daze.
A look of fear was evident.
Because of this, the Phoenixes of the 12th group, which were originally supposed to attack Jin, continued to head towards Barton.
As the situation was a situation, the wizards did not have time to figure out the cause of the phenomenon.
What Jin wanted. Thirty phoenixes would have been nothing more than a device that made Barton’s false threat more realistic.
‘If I do well, Barton will be able to fall with moderate injuries.’
Barton was now swept away by the flames of the phoenixes and could not be seen at all. Veradin, too, could only glimpse the tail or wings of the red dragon that burned him through the flames.
In the midst of the confusion, Kojek was loading his guns. The target was Tess.
“Four riders!”
Difus turned his head at the loud call.
He was just about to get the wounded Guardian Knights out of the battlefield and return to their original positions.
Jin pointed at the gun with his finger.
meaning to cut off. It was not a gesture that the 12th Horseman would give to the 4th Horseman, but Difus ran without saying anything and prepared for the defense.
The key to this mission was recognizing that it was Jin, not himself or Barton.
I hate to admit it, but that was the reality.
Difus was not the kind of person who would make foolish choices just because his ego was hurt.
“How did you stop the space explosion? Is it Tess’ power? If I had this ability, I wouldn’t have stepped forward right away…!”
Although he said it as if he were scolding, Difus had never seen his youngest brother look as pretty as he did today.
Jin replied in a cold tone.
“Shouldn’t I say thank you first?”
“Because I am not used to it. thanks. I mean it.”
“Continue to slash the guns until Lord Barton returns or goes down. The space explosion will start again the moment Tess is summoned after being hit by the ship’s cannon.”
Dipus nodded.
Jin took a stance, preparing for a new magic.
Now it was the turn to turn the tide.
‘This magic will be used on Ziple first.’
The final form of the annihilation, cancer, and flame jade.
The magic that Jin will unleash is the legacy of Riall Zipple.
