The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player - Chapter 180
Episode 180
Bang! Pubbung!
Some of the magic that was flying towards the knights who started charging exploded in the air.
“There is no need for powerful magic! “Intercept with mana bombs and magic missiles!”
Perry also shouted loudly as the magic tower lord and poured out the magic he had memorized.
Shoo shoo shoo!
Dozens of various magic arrows formed above his head passed over the heads of allied knights and collided with the magic of the enemies.
As a seasoned 6th circle master, his command was efficient and the thirty or so wizards intercepted the enemy’s magic as much as possible.
Even though the number of people was insufficient, they were able to respond sufficiently because they were located on high ground and were still close to here.
“Our goal is wide area magic of 4 circles or more. “Wait until our allies reach the middle of the battlefield.”
Unlike the wizards who were busy shooting magic, Pierce and the knights remaining on the castle wall did not move.
Each person put a large shield in the makeshift fort to build a shield wall, loaded arrows into their large longbows, and waited.
Like Pierce, these are knights who specialize in long-distance attacks.
Having honed various archer skills such as [Long Shot], [Sniping Shot], and [Power Arrow], they turned their eyes red and aimed for the right moment to shoot.
Meanwhile, Raoul started running with the knights.
He didn’t even blink when he saw the various magic flying in like waves of light.
“Don’t worry about the magic in front of you, just speed up!”
The magic is intercepted one after another by the allies’ supporting fire.
But even to a certain extent.
After a while, the enemy’s magic will reach you through the interception net.
Before that, we had to secure sufficient speed and momentum.
Swish swish.
Raoul swung his sword forward three or four times.
The whip-like sword energy that flew from his sword cut through the magic that came through the interception net.
bang! Pubung.
And that’s also where Philip and Jake are.
The high-level knights at the front blocked the incoming magic by blowing sword energy.
And finally the knights reached full speed.
“Everyone fire! “Unleash your magic!”
The knights who followed Raoul’s shout raised their swords.
And a dazzling mana blade (sword energy) soared from the sword.
Ugh.
Dozens of sword energy shook the space and began to mix around the knights.
“Activate!”
As Raoul thrust his sword forward, the knights also thrust their swords forward.
And that moment.
A golden curtain formed in front of the knights and burned.
[Knights Assault Veil] can only be activated by experienced knights.
Dozens of knights who know how to wield mana blades.
And that their mana properties should be similar.
Lastly, a person of great power who can control that enormous power.
The season of the knights, which can only unfold if all these conditions are met, appeared here.
Pick. Crispy!
Now the distance has been reduced by half.
Now, the number of magic coming at the knights is much higher than the magic being intercepted.
However, the magic that hit the golden assault curtain was extinguished or its power was greatly reduced.
It seemed impossible for magic of at least circle 3 or lower to damage the knights.
* * *
Grumble.
Tendons sprouted in Thaddeus’ hand holding the staff.
‘Why that now!’
Templar Assault Veil.
He couldn’t even imagine that he would actually see it.
That art, which symbolized the highest order of knights, was an old technique that had almost become obsolete.
The reason is the commercialization of power armor.
It takes a long time and a lot of effort for dozens of expert-level knights to come together and hone such skills.
However, when you wear power armor, a defensive force field is created that blocks at least circle 4 magic, so who would want to practice group skills?
Currently, in the Kingdom of Leslie, the only ones that can even imitate the assault tent are the Royal Guard Knights.
‘But how can something like this be a self-authored order of knights!’
And the important thing was that there were three such ridiculous assault units.
There are at least three expert level knights, and the majority of those knights are expert level.
‘No. Looking at the Flying Mana Blade, there are at least ten high-ranking knights. Where on earth did these crazy people come from?’
To be honest, I thought that this level of power was superior to that of the Royal Guard Knights of the Kingdom of Leslie.
As I thought about it like that, I began to doubt whether they were really the knights of Viscount Raoul.
‘Could it be that the Kingdom of Ruben is plotting something to screw us over? Or Leopard or Cornelius?’
All kinds of thoughts came to mind, but now was the time to stop the crazy knights’ attack.
“Don’t use magic below circle 3 that doesn’t work and prepare for a barrage of magic! “The executives need to take one big hit at a time!”
The Skylar wizards’ movements became busier as Thaddeus nervously gave orders.
Except for some wizards who would keep the enemy in check, they moved to the prepared spot.
Jiyiing.
Ugh.
In the midst of the six wizards gathered together, the six-pointed magic circle began to glow blue.
Soon, the sphere of electricity floating above the magic circle was making a crackling sound and gradually increasing in size.
There were more than ten such magic circles, and cadre wizards of the 6th circle or higher were chanting spells to activate the most powerful magic they could use.
Thaddeus regained his composure as he felt the powerful wave of mana sweeping through the camp.
“joy. It’s surprising that something like a relic from an old era was brought out, but that’s it. There is a reason why all technologies are lost! “Be crushed under the great judgment of magic!”
And according to his hand gesture, a barrage of at least 5 circles of mass destruction magic began flying towards the First Knights.
* * *
「Large-scale mana flow detected ahead! “Sniper team prepares for battle.”
“Yes, master!”
When Raoul’s instructions were delivered through guild communication, the knights, including Pierce, finally pulled their bowstrings.
Jijijing.
The specially made large bows and arrows began to glow yellow with the knights’ mana.
Soon, magic spheres larger than a human body erupted from the Skyler Magic Tower formation and the bombardment began.
“aiming!”
Pierce, who had designated the target through guild communication, pulled the protest tautly with his eyes shining.
And the moment the magic ball rose to the top.
“Shoot!”
Empty! Shhh!
The mana arrows fired by the forty knights pierced the air, leaving a yellow tail like a laser.
bang! Kugwagwang!
Rumbling.
Large-scale magic burst out of the air, shaking the battlefield.
The sniping of knights in groups of five or six successfully neutralized the enemy’s magic.
“Get ready again! They keep coming!”
However, the enemy’s magic continued unabated.
Now, the remnants of various magic rained down like firecrackers from above the heads of the knights, who had crossed half the battlefield and were approaching the enemy lines.
After a few seconds of sniping, the knights lowered their bows.
When the range exceeded 300m, there was no power to intercept the enemy’s magic.
Only Pierce thought to himself as he continued to fire arrows.
‘Master it’s up to you now.’
The remaining distance from the enemy camp is now 200m.
The knights had to break through there on their own without long-distance support.
* * *
“Position change.”
Raoul took a step back and Kane took his place.
Kane and Jake on both sides of the formation have also switched positions with Jackie Davidson, a senior knight.
“come!”
200m.
Until now, magic focused on range rather than power, but from now on magic with strong destructive power will target them.
Moreover, it is now difficult to expect rear support.
This game could be said to start now.
But Raoul lowered his sword and relaxed.
Because he hasn’t had to use his hands yet.
“Everyone raise your shields!”
At Raoul’s instructions, the knights took out a uniquely shaped shield in their left hand.
This shield, made of ivory ore rather than metal, was a special item made in preparation for great magic warfare.
[Elemental Spear’s Anti-Magic Shield]
Rarity: Rare
Grade: A
Effect: Significantly reduces the power of magic attacks. Nullifies magic below 3 circles.
Description: A shield made from the shell of the C-rank gate monster ‘Elemental Spear’. Boasts strong anti-magic defense. However, it is vulnerable to physical attacks, so care must be taken when handling it.
Come to think of it, the barding of the horses the knights were riding also had an ivory glow.
Likewise, it was a special barding coated with the shell of an elemental spear.
“The front line mainly intercepts large spells with strong destructive power! Block minor magic on your own! “I will not forgive you for falling behind!”
“Yes Master!”
Raoul also prepared for the incoming magic with his shield.
bang! Quagwagwang!
Kane and the senior knights in the front row flew sword energy to intercept large-scale magic and powerful magic.
The power of the sword fired from the knights’ assault tent was different from that fired alone.
As if a golden whip was swinging, the sword energy flew through the air and collided with the magic, and no matter how powerful the magic was, it could not withstand the essence of the knights.
However, the thickness of the veil became thinner and the number of magic leaking in increased.
pop.
Raoul slightly swung his left arm and used his shield to explode a fireball the size of a head.
A burning sensation was felt, but there was no actual damage.
Likewise, the knights also used their shields to deal with magic flying towards them and cut down those heading towards their horses with their swords.
Grumbling.
Now that the distance had gotten closer, the aftermath of the intercepted magic felt too big to ignore.
100m like that.
As we reached the place where it felt like the enemy was just around the corner, another obstacle began to appear.
“…The terrain is changing!”
Now, it was a distance where utility magic, not long-range attack magic, could be effective.
With the earth magic, a stone wall suddenly rose up, while a [dig] magic was unleashed that caused the ground to cave in.
The ground froze, causing slipping, and a wall of flame threatened the knights.
And at that very moment.
A new card prepared by Raoul has appeared.
Those wearing robes who did nothing but receive protection at the center of the Knights Templar.
They were wizards, or [super-powers], who jumped into the middle of the battlefield on horseback instead of the knights who remained on the castle walls.
“How dare you!”
The person who took off his hood and held out his hand was none other than Palmer, head of the First Guild Mira branch.
He, a rock magician, literally crushed the stone wall blocking the front of the knights.
Also, the hole in the floor has already been filled with rocks.
Likewise, dozens of psychics riding on horses stood against the utility spells unleashed in the enemy camp.
“It’s melting!”
The ice floor that the pyromancer’s eyes were focused on instantly turned into water and melted, and the wind wizard dried the muddy ground and made it hard.
Those who used telekinesis like Raoul supported the horse’s feet and made it pass through the pit, and the wave magician swept away the dust and smoke that obscured the knights’ eyes.
The manifestation of instantaneous ability, which does not require spells, instantly responded to the various magics pouring in and secured the knights’ path.
Since they had barely entered the intermediate level, the distance between their abilities was short, but as they stood at the center of the knights, they were no different from a moving support unit.
* * *
‘Ugh, strange guys appear again! But it’s no use. ‘It’s over now!’
Thaddeus shouted, glaring at the knights who had already reached a distance of 50 meters.
“It’s the last time! Activate!”
At the same time, he and the other three Circle 6 wizards slammed their wands on the ground.
Duwoong.
As the wave spread around them, a dark line of mana appeared along the floor.
Thump thump thump.
The wizards added mana by swinging their wands at the line of mana passing beneath their feet.
And the mana line wrapped around the entire formation of Skylar wizards, completing a huge magic circle.
Jijijijijik.
Fu Chemical!
And like a blue dragon ascending to heaven, a large pillar of lightning rose into the sky.
Rumbling.
As if the clock had been turned, black clouds instantly covered the sky.
“Down! Giga Thunder Lightning!!”
The 7th circle wide-area destruction magic, the season of the Skyler Magic Tower specializing in lightning magic, has finally revealed its vicious claws.
When Thaddeus lowered his raised staff, a pillar of lightning rose up and struck the knights, including Raoul.
Gurgling!!
