The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player - Chapter 81

Episode 81

‘This is crazy. Does that make sense?’

Viscount Plank cursed under his breath and continued to chant magic spells.

The guy who had been buried in a barrage of magic just moments ago and couldn’t move was blocking the magic with great ease and heading this way.

‘What on earth is this?’

Although it was possible to become an armor user at a young age, rumors suddenly circulated that he was a messenger from God.

I thought the reason such ridiculous rumors were floating around was because the nobles were working behind the scenes, but I never thought they would actually unleash a wide-area sacred spell.

I was able to understand even there. It’s not like there aren’t cases of people becoming sacred knights at a young age.

But suddenly it’s ‘magic’?

From the beginning, it was the established theory in academia that divine power and magical power were polar opposites.

Divine power, which is the power to follow nature and God’s providence, and magical power, which manipulates the flow of nature, were completely different from their origins.

It was common sense that wizards could not use divine power and priests could not use magical power.

‘But what on earth is that guy? As a knight, you use divine spells and even use magic?’

Moreover, the level was not low. Either way, it was natural for Viscount Plank to be surprised since he was showing such skill that he was said to have jumped over the wall.

But the surprise ended there. Anyway, all I had to do was catch him and check for myself.

‘It was rather good. It’s a very good test subject. If I do well, I might be able to improve the soldiers…’

If I did that, I didn’t know if my rank would rise and I would gain the Emperor’s trust.

Viscount Planck’s face smiled again.

Before I knew it, Raoul was nearby, but he didn’t look particularly worried.

From the moment they were not accompanied by a proper wizard, their defeat was certain.

‘You idiot. What did you think would change if you got this far? ‘Kkkkkk.’

Viscount Planck leisurely casted the fly spell while looking at Raoul, who was rushing at him with all his might.

He shouted as he lifted his body up into the air.

“Land beggars have to live attached to the land. “Regret for the rest of your life that you dared to attack the wizard, the great orchestrator of nature!”

And it was Viscount Plank who started pouring out magic again as if laughing at Raoul.

The wizard’s power armor basically had several spells built into it.

Representative examples were the 5-circle magic, Fly (flight) and Blink (short-distance movement) magic.

It was an essential magic to ensure the survival of a wizard who was a rat in close combat.

Of course, it consumes a lot of mana, but since you can escape the enemy’s threat and attack unilaterally, depending on the situation, it is no different from fraud.

Especially when there were only knights in the enemy camp like now, a one-sided attack was literally possible.

As expected, the boy who climbed the cliff targeted the remaining subordinates, not him.

Well, unless he had wings, how could he attack himself while he was floating on the ceiling of an underground cave?

Psyung.

An arrow flew from somewhere and was aimed at him, but it wasn’t power armor for no reason. The arrow failed to penetrate the defensive force field and bounced off.

‘Let’s enjoy the entertainment up to this point and summarize it now, shall we?’

Even magicians had a time limit on their power armor.

Since we had widened the distance anyway, it seemed better to finish it slowly.

Red tattoos began to cover Viscount Planck’s face beneath his brass mask, and he began casting the most powerful magic spells he could muster.

* * *

“Ha!”

Raoul arrived at the top of the cliff and without thinking twice, he swung his greatsword wildly from right to left.

A 2-meter-long sword strengthened with power armor swept across Raoul’s front.

As a result, five horsemen and two wizards standing within a 3.5 meter radius were cut down at once.

Just before he arrived, Viscount Plank escaped using fly magic, but Raoul didn’t even pay him a glance.

The guy said something, but Raoul didn’t even listen and instead targeted the remaining enemies.

‘There’s no need to deal with him first. After all, my purpose is to disperse the enemy’s attacks.’

Boom!

There was no need to worry as Ravel was intercepting the magic that Viscount Plank fired in the air.

Raoul repeatedly swung his great sword and even used his telekinesis to launch his daggers, defeating his enemies.

All of the enemy armor users were clinging to Philip, so there was no one who could block Raoul’s path.

Raoul, who had cut down about 20 horsemen in an instant, headed to the left where Jake was, and the magic there was dispersed towards Raoul.

As a result, Jake’s legs gave out and the Imperial Hound’s front line began to collapse uncontrollably.

As Jake approached the cliff, the wizard power armor user on the left also tried to widen the distance with blink and fly magic, but at that very moment.

Wow!!

A yellow flash of light rose from below and pierced the wizard’s power armor.

“Ouch!”

The identity of the yellow flash was Pierce’s arrow.

Pierce, who reached the expert level, was able to fully store mana in his arrows, and the resulting skill was [Piercing Arrow (A-)].

In order to activate the skill, you had to concentrate your mind for about 20 seconds while wearing power armor and inject mana into the arrow, and the recoil was so severe that you could only shoot three shots a day.

However, as you can see, the result boasted tremendous power that could even penetrate power armor.

The enemy wizard who was pierced in the shoulder fell to the floor without being able to maintain the fly spell due to his loss of concentration, and was killed by the arrows of the knights below.

The broken balance was out of control.

As the stranded armor users climbed onto the cliff one after another, and ordinary knights also began climbing to join them, the Imperial Hound troops without armor users seemed to have no way to fight back.

The problem was that the enemy leader, Viscount Plank, was casting magic while floating near the ceiling of the underground cavity, and the amount of mana gathering at his side with his tattoos activated seemed unusual.

However, Raoul, looking at Viscount Planck, only had a pitiful expression and did not seem to feel any sense of crisis.

‘I heard wizards are usually smart… What on earth is that idiot thinking?’

No matter how threatening Raoul is, he abandons his men and runs away alone.

And if I had already secured the distance, I should have casted a big move from the beginning.

What is the reason why I started casting it so late that I was just talking to Raoul about magic that didn’t work?

‘Besides, what on earth do you believe in and prepare such a long and grand magic? ‘Do you really think you’re safe if you’re floating over there?’

The place where it is located is in the air, almost 100 meters away from the cliff.

Under normal circumstances, it would have been out of the knights’ range, but they knew that Raoul could use magic, so why didn’t they know that the place was not safe at all?

“Tsk.”

While Raoul clicked his tongue thinking it was pathetic, Ravel opened his mouth.

“hmm. The expected magic is ‘Fire Storm’, a 7-circle range magic. “There are about 30 seconds left until casting is complete.”

Like Raoul’s analysis, Ravel had the ability to see through the opposing wizard’s magic. Thanks to this, Raoul was able to not worry about what Viscount Plank was doing.

“They looked at us like water. “It’s a 7-circle magic that takes just 3 minutes to cast.”

“Shall we shoot Master?”

Pierce was already aiming at him with a piercing arrow below.

“The javelin is also ready.”

Philip, who had already swept the surrounding area, was holding a small javelin in his hand.

“Just get ready. “I will organize it.”

“Shall we prepare the flight magic?”

Ravel asked, but Raoul shook his head.

“are you okay. “There’s something better than that.”

Anyway, there was only one threatening enemy now, Viscount Planck. Raoul activated Regnator without hesitation.

And as he concentrated his mana on his back, beautiful golden wings sprouted. It was Regnator’s special skill, [Illusion Wings], which was recently released.

“Wow~. Are you flying with these wings?”

Ravel asked, stroking Raoul’s wings with sparkling eyes.

“no. Unfortunately, these wings are for ground use only. Still, it’ll be fun to watch, right?”

“…?”

Contrary to its appearance, [Illusion Wings] was not a flying technique but a type of charging technique.

If you spread your wings and activate the skill, you will rush forward at incredible speed as if you have activated a booster. At this time, your wings will become a kind of mana blade and cut down all enemies in your path.

There was a reason why such a rush machine was brought out in the current situation.

‘If this is combined with telekinesis, it becomes an amazing combination machine.’

Raoul smiled slightly and spread his wings. Then, I slightly bent my body to get an angle and shouted in my heart.

‘Phantom Wings Rush!’

Then, Raoul’s body glided towards Viscount Planck, drawing a smooth straight trajectory like a golden falcon.

The reason it flew in a straight line even though it was originally supposed to fall downward was because it used telekinesis to support its falling body.

And the speed was so fast that it took less than 3 seconds to reach Viscount Plank, who was over 100 meters away.

Skag. Suddenly!

Before Viscount Plank had time to react, Raoul passed by him and his limbs fell in the air along with a fountain of blood.

“Kwaaaaah!!”

Viscount Planck screamed in pain that came too late, and his body, with all his limbs cut off, began to fall awkwardly.

* * *

The battle is over.

Funnily enough, none of the enemy’s remnants could escape because Viscount Planck had blocked all entrances and exits at the beginning of the battle.

And, except for Viscount Planck, the entire enemy command was annihilated. This is because the drivers took bold action for fear of runaway or suicide.

While his men broke through the blocked entrance and searched for prisoners and survivors, Raoul looked down at Viscount Planck, who was barely alive with his arms and legs cut off.

“You… you bastard. “How dare you do this to me… and think you’ll be safe?”

Even when everyone was dying, their spirit was still alive. Of course, Raoul didn’t really care.

“I won’t answer, but I’ll ask out of courtesy. “Who is your boss?”

“Sigh. “I have nothing to say to that dirty nobleman.”

“okay. I knew it would happen. Kane!”

“Yes Master.”

Raoul, who didn’t want to waste time on a guy he wouldn’t even talk to, coolly handed him over to Kane.

In the past, I couldn’t get information because I didn’t have an expert in this field, but now that I have a capable subordinate, shouldn’t I use it?

Besides, Kane lost many of his subordinates who were like brothers to the Imperial Hound, so he will take care of it without having to say anything.

“Do whatever you want, just don’t kill.”

“Please leave it to me. “I will make you vomit out all your memories of when you were a baby!”

At that time, the Viscount spoke with a mocking laugh.

“Tsk tsk tsk. Do you think you won? Love it to the fullest now. Because tomorrow, all the royal families in this country will have withered away. “Will you be able to smile even then?”

“Take it away.”

When Raoul ordered without even pretending to hear, Kane grabbed the Viscount by the hair and dragged him to the floor.

“You bastard. Didn’t you hear? Your king is dying? All the royals are dying! Hey~~!”

Viscount Planck shouted until the moment he disappeared, but Raoul never looked back.

‘So what?’

Raoul just chuckled.
