The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live a Normal Life - Chapter 269
Chapter 267 First Continental War (5)
At first, people didn’t realize that the white-haired wizard used 8th circle magic.
because I hadn’t heard of it.
Even at the time when the sky was shining, they believed in the ability of the magic defenses layered on the castle wall.
flash
the sky shone
From the sky full of dark clouds, a single ray of light hit the castle wall.
Quaang!
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
It was a huge explosion.
A magic defense formation was formed and dozens of magic shields were formed in the air, but the Cairo Dmitri Alliance soldiers lost their balance and sat on the ground at the lightning that exploded as if to break them.
Looking up at the sky with a bewildered face, it was like a harbinger of destruction, and the magic shield and lightning caused a violent collision and covered the entire sky.
the problem is.
It was just the beginning.
The sky, which was turning white, struck lightning in succession as if it were venting its anger.
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Quaang!
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwam!
It was a truly overwhelming sight.
The wizards who installed the magic defenses boasted that they could hold out for at least 10 days even with the 7th circle magic, but every time lightning struck, the magic shields cracked and began to break one after another.
Even those who were ignorant of magic could understand what the turning scene meant.
At this rate, it was clear that the magic defense would not last less than 30 minutes and would be completely destroyed.
at that time.
cried the Marquis of Vandenberg.
“Maximize the output of the magic defense formation! Even Kronos’ mage couldn’t keep the magic for a long time! If we buy time, we will definitely have a chance!”
It was a struggle.
Hope in the realm of common sense, not based on hard facts.
Wizards stepped forward.
They created magic and infused magic into the magic defense, but the reality they faced was hopeless.
Quaang!
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
“Cheer.”
“Wow.”
The wizards have gone out.
The act of infusing magical power meant a link, and the impact of the magic defense was transmitted to the wizards, albeit very weakly.
With that alone, the wizards couldn’t stand it.
Some collapsed screaming, others vomited what was inside.
In particular, magicians with low circles lost consciousness as their circles were broken with an indirect impact.
sure
You won’t be able to stand it.
The power used by the gray-haired wizard completely shattered the common sense that Marquis Vandenberg had experienced.
‘… Did Count Fabius mean this?’
end the conversation
Count Fabius explained to the leaders what Duke Bamford had said.
It was a truly arrogant statement.
The statement that he lost interest in war after learning Kronos’ true power was considered a threat to subdue the opponent’s initiative.
But the scene in front of me was different.
Cairo and Dmitry’s coalition had no choice but to watch helplessly at the opponent’s attack and could not come up with a way to counter it.
at last.
Like a death row prisoner who gave up his head, he watched blankly, knowing that the magic defense would break.
I swallowed dry saliva.
It seemed that he finally realized what the war against Cronus meant.
‘The magic that the gray-haired wizard uses is definitely beyond the 7th circle. If he is truly a magician of the 8th circle, the Kronos Empire was called the greatest power on the continent without revealing his existence to the world.’
I was out of breath.
The Kronos Empire is a country that can speak of conquering the continent with only its apparent military power, but if even its undisclosed military power is beyond imagination, this war has no chance of winning.
Roman Dmitry was clearly a historical figure.
Despite being from a weak country at that young age, considering the steps he has shown so far, it can be said that he is the only existence that can stand against the Cronus Empire.
but.
The history of Cronus was piled up one after another, and there was clearly a wall that no single individual could overcome.
That moment.
Quaang!
The magic defense was broken.
And the lightning that struck right away exploded on the wall, and the wall, which was believed to be an iron fortress, collapsed at once.
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
The walls collapsed.
Only 10 minutes after the war begins.
The Cairo Dmitry Alliance faced a bleak reality.
* * *
The moment the walls collapse.
Duke Bamford issued a thunderous order.
“All-arms attack!”
“Attack!”
“Waaaaaaaaaaaa!”
The imperial troops rushed in unison.
The presence of magicians in the war was overwhelming, but in the end it was the soldiers’ melee battle that decided the end.
As long as the meaning of the wall’s existence had been lost, there was no reason to hesitate any longer.
Even the Cairo and Dmitry alliance could not stand still as the soldiers rushed forward.
Papa papapat.
arrows were fired
The arrows rained down on the soldiers of the empire, screaming in agony and falling down, but it was not enough to stop all the enemy forces rushing in like waves.
The number of enemies was too many.
Archers who fired arrows shook their hands and knew that they would face enemies at this rate.
It was then.
Wizards came out on top of the wall.
“Burning.”
Hwareuk.
Roaring.
They were the wizards of Felix and Phoenix.
Felix’s presence flared up and he released powerful fire magic.
“Fire Storm.”
It was a magic of 7 circles.
In the meantime, Felix has polished his magic and borrowed the power of Burning to be able to temporarily use the 7th circle magic.
A storm of fire raged. It was a disaster that even the Cronus Empire could not avoid.
Rurrr rrr r r r r r r.
Kwak Kwa Kwak!
“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah”
“It’s hot!”
Enemies caught in flames.
Those who came into direct contact with the flames were charred, and those who existed in the realm of flames fell to the ground, clutching their necks as the flames consumed their prayers.
The wizards of Phoenix also continuously manifested magic.
Flames erupted from all sides, and the troops rushing in like waves seemed to evaporate in an instant.
Phoenix.
Certainly, in terms of magical power, they were upper-class wizards.
The reason why the leaders of the Western Front were convinced of Mercury was because they trusted the perfect preparation and the existence of the Phoenix wizards.
Under normal circumstances, their magic would have sorted things out.
However, there was a variable called the gray-haired wizard. He manifested magic in the activities of Felix and the wizards.
“Wind Storm.”
Whiing.
Whoa!
The wind blew.
The strong gusts of wind blazed fiercely as they encountered the firestorms raised by Felix.
Whereby.
Firestorm didn’t do its job.
Fire Storm’s ability is to sweep the surroundings with flames accompanied by the wind, but Wind Storm held onto Fire Storm so that it could not move anywhere.
And that wasn’t all.
In the world of wizards, the difference between circles was absolute, and at one point the Wind Storm’s wind swallowed Fire Storm as it was.
Pat-
The wind has dissipated.
As the flames flew, the leaders of the Western Front realized that even magic could not stop them.
A white-haired wizard.
It was an overwhelming presence.
He proved before his eyes what kind of a mage a wizard is on the battlefield, and that even a wizard of the 8th circle can change the tide of battle with just one person.
The realm of the outside world was different.
The magic defense was destroyed, the walls collapsed, and Felix’s magic was rendered useless with a single spell.
at last.
“Enemies are coming!”
“Stop!”
The imperial army rushed into the wall.
Just as they were about to attack the troops on the Western Front with ferocious faces, a lightning-like aura fell from the sky.
Quaang!
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
“I can’t go any further!”
An explosion of powerful aura.
The identity of the being who swept away the enemies at once was Count Nicholas.
* * *
The man who was once called Cairo’s No. 1 Sword.
he appeared
Blocking the front of the enemies rushing in, he raised an aura and cut down the enemies.
Flash.
Blood gushed out like a fountain.
Not only that, but Count Nicholas rushed forward and cut indiscriminately to prevent enemies from entering the castle.
As a single soldier, it was helpless.
A whopping 5 star inspector.
It was also called Cairo’s No. 1 Sword, and he was excellent in swordsmanship, and when he blocked the road, the intruders were blown away.
Ranking match against Roman Dmitri.
That day, Count Nicholas was mortally wounded.
Although the injury was so great that he had to concentrate on recuperation for a while, it rather served as an opportunity for him to put his mind down.
The title of number one in the rankings.
The pressure was considerable, knowingly or unknowingly, and as Daniel Cairo perfectly seized power, he had his own time away from complicated matters.
like that.
The body was completely restored.
No, the presence of Count Nicholas exploded with more powerful skills than then.
“die!”
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
The knight of Kronos rushed.
It wasn’t one or two.
Two in front, three on each side.
They pressed Count Nicholas, each raising an aura of 3 stars and 4 stars, but Count Nicholas calmly blocked the enemy’s attack with concise steps.
The light flashed.
There was a violent impact, and Count Nicholas seemed to be pushed back at first glance, but with each collision, the opponent’s neck was blown off.
“… ?!”
I couldn’t even see it properly.
The fact that Count Nicholas was blocking it, the moment I tried to attack further, I let go of the string of consciousness.
And then.
The other aura swordsmen also collapsed, spraying blood.
As wine ripens, Count Nicholas’ swordsmanship blossomed.
at the same time.
“Keep down!”
Flash.
Over the head of Count Nicholas.
The wind has passed.
He was Chris.
After the operation with Roman Dmitri, he and his men immediately returned to the Western Front.
The only person left behind is Roman Dmitry.
Chris helped Count Nicholas by manifesting an aura when the castle wall collapsed.
It was fast.
Count Nicholas glanced at Chris’ face.
‘Is Chris like this?’
Leave the difference in aura.
It was a blow that was so fast and so perfect that even I couldn’t guarantee that I could block it with certainty.
It was as rumored.
People said that Roman Dmitri’s subordinates were no less monsters.
Even though Chris was still young, the swordsmanship he showed meant a brilliant future.
After that, Dmitri’s swordsman appeared one after another and blocked the castle wall.
The castle wall collapsed earlier than expected due to the variable of being a 8th circle wizard, but the enemies rushing in like a tidal wave were not sharp enough to penetrate the narrow space.
yet.
It was a situation worth doing.
Count Nicholas raised an aura and shouted with mana in his throat.
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
“Soldiers of Cairo Dmitri! Don’t give up! The Western Front will not fall like this!”
* * *
On the rampart.
Flora Lawrence surveyed the battlefield.
Tak tok.
The Kronos Empire’s army tried to enter the castle wall by walking on a ladder.
In the sky where dark clouds arose, lightning fell all the time, and fierce battles took place on the ground with enemies trying to enter the collapsed walls and those trying to break through the gates.
The situation was not good.
Flora Lawrence actively fired arrows while analyzing the situation in her head.
‘We need at least three days to implement our plan, no matter how fast. It was judged that it was possible enough to stand up against the wall, but common sense calculations mean nothing if the wall collapsed from the first day.’
furthermore.
There was a problem.
The existence of the 8th circle wizard watching the situation from afar could have brought the current situation, which was considered the worst, to the bottom of the abyss.
Perhaps Kronos’s card wasn’t the only one.
The gray-haired sorceress was an unknown great sorceress, and the possibility of additional powers beyond imagination had to be considered.
Kronos Empire.
It is a country that dominates the top of the rankings like Valhalla.
In the absence of Roman Dmitri, if rankers appeared, the chances of winning were not so great, even in hand-to-hand combat.
then.
I had a question.
‘Is it right for us to hold the western front to the end? What Roman Dmitry wanted was enough time to carry out the operation, not necessarily defending the Western Front. Protecting the collapsed walls is a job that requires greater sacrifice than expected. I’d rather make a quick decision.’
War with Kronos.
They were incomparable both qualitatively and quantitatively.
Even though they were strong, if they responded in the same way to those who used human-made tactics, they would have no choice but to be cornered one day.
For her, this situation came as a real horror.
Although hope was lost in the overwhelming existence of Kronos, he believed in the existence of Roman Dmitri.
he.
will cause a reversal.
That’s why it was necessary to buy time somehow, even if it was only three days.
puck!
He put an arrow between the foreheads of the enemies who climbed the wall.
Then he ran quickly and headed for the Marquis of Vandenberg.
“Commander!”
that too.
participated in direct combat.
When the bloodstained Marquis of Vandenberg checked on Flora Lawrence, she said urgently but firmly.
“At this rate, the odds are out! Abandon the Western Front and order Plan B!”
Plan B.
In the worst situation, a decision was needed.
