Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 550
[550[Tuesday] Witch of Fire
It has been several months since Levien was robbed by the humans, and the Demon King's army that had surrounded Levien was slowly being pushed to its limit..
The reason why the Demon King's army has never once taken Levien since it was usurped through a surprise attack when the war broke out is not simply because the Demon King's army is strong, but because the city of Levien was specialized in defense..
It is not for nothing that Levien has been called Itisel's shield for a long time and has played its role. No matter how demonic it was, a huge amount of resources and troops had to be invested to retake Lévien..
However, the resources and troops were becoming insufficient..
Even if all preparations are perfect, it will not be an easy fight, but the situation is getting worse, and an uneasy atmosphere is in the air in the cities that supported the military. The city, which had served as a supply line until just two days ago, showed strangely sluggish movements, and the very next day, it took the side of the cult and looted supplies that were supposed to come to the front line..
It's not that there aren't supplies that manage to arrive safely, but in Levien, there are demons that select the locations where such supplies are and attack them..
Now, the flying dragon unit, called the Crow, was created for the sole purpose of raiding the rear and destroying supplies..
-profit!
"Damn crows! emergency! emergency!!"
In the Demon King's Army, no one whistles because they are bored and have nothing to do. Then, I was pathologically tormented by the kingdom's flying dragon unit until I reached a point where I had nothing to say even when a colleague on duty slapped me..
No matter how much I prepared and defended myself, the enemies were flying in and out every day, and it was of no use. In the beginning, wizards were mobilized to somehow spread a surveillance network and be on guard, but now they fly around with magic tools that interfere with observation magic, so there is no way to find out in advance other than checking with the naked eye..
That alone is a pain in the ass, but they are becoming more and more vicious..
Among the fifteen drakes spread out across the dark sky, which had not yet dawned, a flame that rose like a small sun and began to burn was one of them..
"Fuck, fuck! Wizard! Bring in the wizards! Levien's crazy bitch!"
Ragnis Lien da Levien.
The protagonist of the song says that when Levien was taken away in the past, he barely escaped with his life and eventually regained his land. I didn't want to know, but the protagonist of the cursed song, whose lyrics I had to memorize because of the humans singing instead of military songs, was approaching..
At first no one cared.
Even when Levien was taken away, the only thing the Demon King's army cared about was the flute knight and the flying dragon unit under him, and they didn't even think about Madame Face, who was no different from a scarecrow. So, I didn't care that she was appearing more and more on the front lines, and I saw the fact that she was gradually being observed from the front rather than the rear as an opportunity to eliminate her central point..
On the battlefield, where I had decided to attack the childish girl who appeared at the front, it took less than an hour to realize that all the hypotheses and judgments were nothing more than a complacent illusion..
Margrave Levien turned the battlefield into a burning hell as red as her own hair, and soon came to be called the 'Fire Witch'..
Although now she is more commonly called a crazy bitch..
"D, dispel..."
"It's defensive magic, idiot.!"
The veteran wizard, who corrected the misjudgment of the wizard who had recently arrived as a supplementary troop, broke into a cold sweat and prepared all the defensive magic he knew..
There are many reasons to break out in a cold sweat simply by preparing magic. Either the enemy's magic is so strong that you don't have the confidence to block it, or you're afraid that the enemy will interfere with your casting and leave you exposed to the attack. That's roughly the cause.
"come!"
Sadly, Levien's crazy bitch was both of them..
Even though the fireball had not yet been thrown, there began to be a clear divide between those who understood the meaning of the signal and those who did not..
"Wow!"
"Ahhhh!"
There are more wizards who bleed blood or have their magic reflux and the magic they are preparing explode than there are wizards who complete a spell and deploy a shield. It is a truly terrifying sight for those who pride themselves on having a magic system far superior to that of the human race..
Dispel is basic and essential in fights between wizards..
There is no wizard who does not know that he must build his magic more elaborately and solidly than his opponent's so that he cannot interfere with the completion of the spell, and then interfere with the enemy's ability to cast magic..
In the beginning, there was a time when people could not intervene in each other's magic due to the gap between mana and magic, so it was advantageous to quickly complete the magic and throw it blindly, but that is now a thing of the past. No matter how new they were, there was no magician working on the front lines who could not interfere with the magic of the human race..
It was like that.
Until Levien's crazy bitch showed up.
"If you feel like the spell is about to break, don't try to fix it, just give up! Turn on the magic tool! The opponent is the fire witch.!"
Normal-level wizards sent to the front lines cannot interfere with her magic..
A wizard who confronts her head on will never be able to perfect his magic..
Margrave Levien may not be second-class as a warrior, but he is close to being first-class as a magician. He plays with the magicians of the Demon King's army by showing off his incredibly detailed calculations and speed for a mana user..
Even at this moment.
"the magic comes!"
Without any time to calm the confused wizards, a fireball the size of a drake was launched like a catapult. The senior wizard, who was somehow able to complete the analysis of the spell, poured out all sorts of curses on the fire witch who had completed such magic in such a short period of time, and deployed the defense magic he had managed to complete..
Fortunately, he wasn't the only one who completed the spell. The veteran wizard, who had weighed the double and triple magic unfolding and the fireball flying beyond, sighed in relief..
It's only the beginning, but we can stop that magic....
"...?"
Because of the blazing fireball, the flying dragons beyond it sway in the haze. Because of the dark sky, it was difficult to properly identify it, but thanks to the fortunate sun that had begun to rise, the senior wizard was able to clearly see the strange event that had occurred beyond the shimmer..
The incomprehensible sight of the fire witch throwing a fireball kicking the dragon's back and soaring into the sky..
"flew...?"
In a sight that went beyond common sense, the senior wizard could not take his eyes off the fire witch who was soaring higher than the flying dragon, even as he saw the fireball collide and destroy the shield. Did it really fly? Can that bitch fly that high in the sky? If that's the case, why on earth did you come riding the flying dragon? No, why is it taking off now??
Forgetting the chaos and noise around her, the fire witch turned her back on the real sun and rose with unidentifiable flames as if she was about to ascend to heaven....
It suddenly glowed red..
"ah."
The sunlight was not reflected by the armor worn by the fire witch. Her armor, helmet, shield, and spear glowed red as if they contained fire itself..
What was followed by a light so strong that it could be called a flash was a fire that seemed to cook flesh, an impact that shook the ground, and piles of dirt flying mixed with snow that had not yet completely melted..
-Kwaaang!
The sound was next. Maybe he heard the sound first, but at least that's how the old wizard felt..
But that wasn't really important. The bigger problem was the life-threatening flames that erupted as if they were going to eat him while he was falling with a shock wave that made it impossible to control his body..
"Oh, she's a witch! a witch appeared!"
The sound of someone shouting from far away feels even more stupid..
The veteran wizard, who had completed his defensive magic and was belatedly protecting his body by detonating a one-time magic tool that had not been used yet, but was unable to stand on his own two feet for a while, finally managed to steady his body and raised his head. A nightmarish scene that he did not want to see even in his dreams had already unfolded before his eyes. It was behind.
"Ahhh..."
When they didn't yet know that that crazy bitch was a crazy bitch, the Demon King's army gathered skilled warriors and formed an assault force to attack the Fire Witch who fearlessly came to the forefront..
There was information that he was a wizard, but there was no record of him actually being active on the front lines, so no one felt he was a threat. I heard that his mentor and greatest threat, the battle mage Rad Nelvandes, was staying in the castle to defend Levien, so he felt he had enough to do..
They stand by among the ordinary soldiers, but the moment the commander goes to the front line to boost their morale, they suddenly attack and eliminate them..
It was a time-honored tactic that the Demon King's army had often used to attack commanders patrolling the front lines for a long time, and it was an effective tactic that made people just give up patrolling the front lines rather than finding a way to deal with it..
The senior wizard at the time did not understand what process led to such a tactic failing. All he saw was a terrible scene of flames suddenly rising high into the sky and spreading in all directions, engulfing the elites who had rushed out for a surprise attack..
Looking back, it seems like Levien's crazy bitch shone like a blazing red light back then, just as it does now..
-Peek! profit!
A dragon knight jumped over the head of the wizard, who was looking helplessly at the sight of the dragon knights jumping beyond the fire witch, who was straightening her back against the sun and holding up a spear with the family crest on it..
Although his magic tool could block the flames, it could not block the knight's sword..
