Chapter 97

97Fire Acolyte Zereah(3)

The sudden appearance of a third party. The electors did not hide their wariness at the appearance in the air..

'That… Black Eagle's Family.'

'How can the family of a beast god follow a man?.'

'It's not about following people. are being dominated Could it be that the family of God was corrupted??'

Even though they are lowly beasts, being connected to God is not a matter to be taken lightly..

But how can that be possible for a mere mortal?.

But those doubts were also understood when she took off her veil..

The high bridge of the nose, thin face, and slightly open mouth reveal a subtle smile, giving off a strong feminine scent..

The charming appearance with coquettish gestures and bewitching eyes is not at the level of fascination... something that corrupts.

"this…!"

Realizing the identity of that power, the Electors each cast a mental barrier spell..

<Nullify mental interference>

<Double strength strengthening>

It was only after the Elector Counts' successive mental strengthening and interference blocking spells were applied that the creatures of this land were barely able to escape from it. Even Lionheart’s convoy of relics… Even chimeras.

"That's rude. She exudes magical power to seduce men like a prostitute. Genga has no pride in being a magician.."

Even though he said so, the Pope's pores became so irritated that cold sweat ran down his spine..

Although he said he was wearing all kinds of mental barrier items, the soldiers were almost possessed by that demonic magic. If even the soldiers were as fascinated as that black eagle, things would have been a headache..

That's a male... No, there is a magical power that is like a curse that corrupts life..

"I am sorry. I guess it's something I was born with.."

"joy…!"

The wizards did not believe that. This much magical power, this much power of corruption. It is no exaggeration to say that it is almost a 'magical phenomenon'.?

If there is such a thing, isn't it truly a devilish nature that the malignancy of pleasure and corruption would covet?.

'But before that… As a wizard, your abilities are not average..'

The magic that nullified Dean Stathout's &lt;Ramantha's Thunderbolt&gt;..

The magic that goes beyond high-level elemental destruction that dissolves even most holy magic is surprising even to archmages..

"By the way… That chimera was made by wizards, right? It was so crude that I suspected it was from an orc.."

"It's crude?"

For a moment, the exasperated Pope frowned..

The root of the problem was the imperial wizards' choice of the word "crude" for Chimera, the essence of biotechnology..

But even in the face of those intense gazes, Beatrice responded with a smile..

"Yes, it's overly promiscuous... It's not classy. Those are things you could use to torture demons alive or just to kill time.."

"under… ! A wizard is only obsessed with appearances.."

"First of all, they are royals.."

Beatrice glanced at the chimeras accompanying the orcs at the rear of the convoy..

Poor beasts that synthesized all kinds of living things. Beatrice frowns at his bizarre appearance and unfortunate fate..

"Even a lowly animal like that has to be used... I guess I know the level of magicians in this world.."

She gestured. At that moment, a dark purple energy poured towards the chimeras..

-Cookie?

In an instant, a cloud of fog enveloped the chimeras. The chimeras in charge nod and lower their heads, then raise their heads with hazy eyes..

The orcs intuitively felt the crisis..

"kill them──!"

An intuition that was exactly right. Chimeras began to attack the orcs.

"Tsk… Did you notice?."

The king clicks his tongue while looking at that scene..

Chimeras certainly have great physical abilities, but their intelligence and anti-magic power are low. It is particularly vulnerable to abilities such as mental interference..

"But it's a handshake. You reveal your own cards. God of dreams and death... No, is it the new director’s class?."

"Kingdom guys. They said they would only send one Holy Grail Knight, but I never thought they would have hidden a saint.."

"That's strange. The new director of this major FL would have been a man, but that woman was not included in the list of key figures in the intelligence department.."

Hari's presence alone was surprising, but I never expected a new director-level person to show up..

But the empire's electors still had some time to spare. There is only one opponent in the end. In addition to the two archmages, there is Division Commander Wolfhard, a leader-level knight..

There are three strongest forces that the empire boasts of. Nothing changes just because one priest is added..

"It would have been better if there had been a surprise attack.."

<Ignition&gt;, &lt;Enveloping Flame&gt;──&lt;Fireball>

A huge fireball thrown by the Pope flew towards Beatrice. Beatrice pulls the reins holding the black eagle and performs an evasive maneuver..

The speed of the fireball was considerable, but not enough to match the mobility of the flying beast, the Black Eagle..

"joy…!"

<Speed ​​ Enhancement&gt;, &lt;Movement Induction&gt;, &lt;Auto Tracking&gt;, &lt;Magic Shape Change&gt;── &lt;Burning Eyes>

At that moment, the shape of the fireball changed and began to run through the air like a thin beam of light. The speed far surpasses the mobility of a black eagle..

Beatrice points her beautiful finger toward the burning gaze..

Magic &lt;hexa shield)>

The transparent hexagonal shield deployed by Beatrice blocks the burning gaze. Fierce flames battered her shield, but her defensive magic was extremely strong..

"It stopped."

At that time, Dean Startout unleashed his magic. The thunderclouds that are still dark in the sky are about to rain down lightning..

Almost at the same time, the binding spell that the Pope shot at the black eagle was successful..

"Hmm?"

He cast a binding spell on the black eagle, not on himself, who possesses counter-magic power. The next moment Dean Startout's lightning struck..

Giant Magic &lt;Ramanta's Thunderbolt>

Tsushima &lt;SUPER ELEMENTAL CANCEL)>

Beatrice nullifies the thunderbolt once again. But the attack doesn't end just this once..

Pope and Dean of Stout. The two people poured out their magic at the same time..

Huge flames, rays of light, thunderclaps, and chunks of rock struck Beatrice from all directions..

The two archmages used their magic in succession as if they were attacking each other, but Beatrice just unfolded her magic with a relaxed look in her eyes..

Physical attacks are blocked with hexagonal shields, and lightning falling from the sky is completely nullified or struck by lightning rod magic..

If it was the Elector Counts who were clearly attacking, it was they who seemed to be at a disadvantage as time passed..

'What kind of ridiculous magical power is this?!'

'You can block the continuous attacks from both of us by yourself.!'

Beatrice quietly opened her mouth to those who were confused..

"Statutory law is the force that enforces concepts. It is a change in a phenomenon that comes from faith. Clearly, magic is an inferior technology compared to holy magic.."

"Four years… ! How could a proud wizard make such a foolish move?!"

"Magic is in no way inferior to sacred law!"

It was the evil of the wizards of this world..

They must be indignant. A miracle achieved by exploring knowledge, formulating formulas, and investigating phenomena..

This power, which has become a symbol of the wise, is not as good as the holy law that even the poor farmers on the streets use just because they believe in God..

They were able to mix a rainy season with a dry sky and cause lightning to fall..

Even a little bit of oxygen was enough to start a fire and nourish the depleted land so that crops could grow..

However, the believers of the faith prevalent in this land were different..

They make lightning strike, start fire, make crops grow, and cure illness just by wishing..

Just by wishing.

Just by believing.

Even common and common things benefit from miracles..

How could this not be infuriating?.

Power and knowledge symbolize a person's value..

It is natural for wise people to lead society and manage knowledge and its benefits, so why should their power be compared to that of the mean?.

Moreover, it is the most shameful and unreasonable thing for those ignorant fanatics to have on top of their own heads..

It was natural for many wizards to call for independence from divinity..

"It feels like a lot of hard work and anger.."

Beatrice was about to continue speaking when she noticed the background of the other person's intense reaction..

Of course, the power of Holy Law was quite an unreasonable power from my perspective as a magician..

but──

"magic… No, is it magic in this world? In the end, it's no different from the magic of my world... I don't know how you use it so 'vulgarly'.."

"What?"

magic. That is, it is a type of technology.

Beatrice was not mistaken about the scope of law and technology..

If sacred law is the power to change laws,,

Magic is the power to twist providence.

Using the fifth element called magic, he creates fire in places where there is no fire, creates waves in calm seas, and shoots rays of light by manipulating particles..

In other words, theory and imagination… A secret technique that allows anything to be possible using all of that..

"You are so obsessed with magic that you ignore the possibility of magic. I don't think I understand you any more.."

The next moment, Beatrice stretched out her hands wide..

Tsushima &lt;Magic circulation>

A lot of magic that has been poured out so far. Even nullification and defensive magic were deployed to prevent this. Concentrates and recycles the scattered magical energy into one place..

The magic power concentrated was at a level that even the Elector Counts, who were great wizards, were astonished. Such enormous magical power, compressed power... It is uttered through pure white fingers.

Tsushima &lt;The Death Eye of Destruction)>

A black ray shot out. The Pope used the power of the circlet.

Pure concept &lt;barrier>

The power to produce miracles comparable to the sacred law handed down to the electors..

The miraculous power that the archmages had been trying to mass-produce for so long, but ultimately failed, blocked Beatrice's terrifying anti-mage sword..

"Is this a concept of defense? Even compared to His Majesty's defense of the Holy Law, it is no less impressive. but… If you can't break through, just bypass it.."

The dark clouds, shaken by lightning, began to fluctuate in golden color. Dean Startout was astonished..

"Oh, I can't believe the magic I created…!"

Take advantage of a phenomenon created by the opponent. Blooms with his own magic. much stronger than before.

As evidence, the dark clouds that flashed with the occasional thunderstorm turned golden due to the endless thunderstorms..

Tsushima Island &lt;Lightning Heavenly Punishment&gt;)>

Ring out, space. Strike it down, lightning!.

Bloom in full bloom, flowers of light.

A pouring thunderstorm. Although the Elector Counts did their best to deploy all kinds of defensive magic and pure concepts, the power of natural disasters could not be stopped by blocking only one side..

Absolutely terrible destruction.

Overwhelming destruction struck the two archmages and the imperial army..

* * * *

A wild dance of thunderbolts.

Beatrice limited the range of continuous bombing of Tsushima Island, perhaps in order to avoid harming the convoy of holy relics..

However, in front of this formidable Tsushima Island, even the Holy Relics convoy could not help but get tired of it, because even the Holy Grail Knights, who were quite capable of developing and scaling its power, could not compare to it..

"Off……."

Zereah, who died after being attacked by the Pope, was younger than before and now looked middle-aged rather than old..

When he opened his eyes, he immediately assessed the situation. As an alter ego, he already knew that he was an alter ego from the past and that he was currently carrying out a mission to transport the relics..

'This is thanks to the fact that the necessary information was sufficiently transplanted from the ‘main body’..

"It seems the Empire has betrayed us.."

"We were escorting a holy relic, and were in danger of having it stolen by an imperial conspiracy.."

Stella, a kingdom knight, approached me with her injured shoulder healed. She quickly explained the situation and Zelea was convinced..

"But I don't think you need to worry. I don't know who he is, but he will be able to defeat the profligate empire.."

There was no one who denied this statement. It was true. Because Beatrice was completely overwhelming the imperial army..

[Can you hear me??]

It was then. The message sent to Zereah and the convoy of holy relics was.

"Yes, queen?!"

Hari was startled and answered the voice in his head. The sound of laughter coming from beyond as if it was cute.

[Miss Hari, and everyone in the convoy. Request support from your allies right now.]

"yes? I'm totally winning right now……."

The current war situation was such that Beatrice alone was overwhelming the imperial army and the three electors. But Beatrice thought differently..

[I felt a strange power from these so-called electors. If it goes on for a long time, it will be difficult for me to endure it alone..]

"All right."

It was Zereah who answered. He seemed to understand Beatrice's message correctly..

"Lady of Dreams and Death, I will do as you command.."

Stella asked.

"Lord Zereah. Are you thinking of going back to the canyon??"

"No, it's too far. I don't even know what's going on there.."

"then……."

At that time, Koo Dae-seong, who was checking the system message again, shouted.

"Kingdom border... ! If we get there, everything will work out, right??"

Even though he said that, Koo Dae-seong was confident..

The main quest of this gate. Escort the holy relic to the kingdom's border..

The quest to defend ‘Lord Zereah’s main force’ has already been successful. In other words, someone… Regardless of whether it was Yappy or Leon, the submission was cleared..

In other words, if you only succeed in this main quest, the gate clear conditions will be fulfilled..

"But how can we get through them and reach the kingdom?."

"I'll pave the way!"

Hari stepped forward. She is the goddess of Poma and Petos. As long as there is no interference from the Elector, the firepower is the best here..

"Good. Sir Stella, please organize the convoy. I don't have much time left either.."

"yes? what is that."

"Hurry up and get ready."

Zereah gathered his words and raised his lance. He turned his horse's head towards the imperial army, which was panicking due to Beatrice's magic bombardment..

"If only we could reach the border... He will be there."

That alone settles the entire situation. If Beatrice can hold out until then, if the convoy of the relics is not caught..

"Let's go!"

The convoy of sacred relics resumed. Dozens of horsemen started running.
