Chương 244: Chapter 26: “One vs. 10,000”

10, 000" First, I'll "flip over" the vanguard. If I crush their opening move, their advance will slow down. Quietly, I thrust out my left hand. With my palm open, I aim forward. Keeping my arm extended, I slowly draw an arc horizontally. This is a preparatory motion. Following the trajectory of my palm, I am creating an invisible mass of Qi in front of me. After deploying immense energy in the air, I pull my arm back once and clench my fist. I put fighting spirit into my clenched left fist.

While I was doing so, the enemy was raising clouds of dust, closing in to crush me, who stood alone blocking their way. Don't panic. Strive to be calm. Opening my clenched fist, I thrust out my left hand again.

"《Qi Severing Shockwave》" The mass of Qi already deployed all over the front is fired as an unavoidable shockwave. Gouging out the ground, rolling up grass and soil, it heads toward the enemy at a speed exceeding sound. Impact. The cavalry, numbering over a thousand, were all"flipped over" at once as if blown away by a hurricane. Along with their Rhinos, the pitiful soldiers depart on an unwanted journey through the sky. The aftermath of the attack extends to the Magic Tank corps behind them.

Dozens of vehicles overturned, their gun barrels snapped, turning into useless junk. Furthermore, many of the infantry behind them were blown away, and the formation collapsed completely. First, this much. Staring at my thrust-out palm, I clenched and opened my fist two or three times as if savoring the certain response, then lowered it quietly. I inhale deeply and exhale. I gaze forward again. I cleaned up the front row nicely, but there still seem to be many who can fight in the back rows.

If I used full power, I could have involved more. But if I increase the power any further, I'll tear apart the bodies of those hit and kill them all. Those soldiers aren't committing atrocities of their own will like the Masked Group. They are just being controlled by him. If possible, I want to avoid killing them. Even so. I was surprised myself. I intended it to be a reasonably big move, but I have more leeway than I thought. Since being beaten by Vitterweitz, my Qi seems to have risen extraordinarily.

With this growth power—. But there is no time to immerse myself. I take a stance again. Just as I put Qi into my palm to fire the second shot. 『Hoh. You're not bad. 』 His voice was heard from nowhere. But it's strange. His Qi, which I could feel enough to make my body tremble if he were close, cannot be felt anywhere now. Feeling unidentifiable eeriness on my skin, I asked while being maximally vigilant of the surroundings.

"Where are you? Where are you hiding?" 『I am speaking directly to your mind. It's called Telepathy. 』 『... I see. 』 I also send my thought back. It seems different from my way of using the'World of Heart', but he seems to be able to do something similar. 『You came out after all. Yu Hoshimi. Otherwise, it wouldn't be interesting. 』 『I have no hobby of entertaining you. 』 『Kukkukku. Don't say that. 』 His laughter echoes in my head. Annoying voice.

A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation. 『I lined up this many for you. Quite an entertainment, isn't it? 』 What entertainment? Don't screw with me. Manipulating innocent people just to kill time. 『Even so—your fighting style is quite soft. You haven't killed anyone. 』 『So what. 』 In a bad mood, I replied with a cold voice. That doesn't matter. 『Hey, hey. What happened to the cruelty you showed with the Masked Group? 』 『I hate useless killing.

I'll kill if necessary. 』 Then, the laughter disappeared from his voice. There was a somewhat heavy silence, and what I heard next was a man's voice filled with cold boredom. 『Hmph. With your eyes and that face. I expected you to be my kind. Disappointing. 』 『You say that after expecting on your own. I declined your worthless way of life from the beginning. 』 『I see, I see. You talk big. 』 The atmosphere clearly changed. This guy. He intends to kill me. Immediately after.

Words confirming that conviction echoed in my mind. 『I don't need a guy like you. Die. 』 The soldiers who should have been knocked out stood up swayingly as if manipulated by strings. They have no proper consciousness. The guys in the front shouldn't have been in a condition to stand up. He is abusing the manipulated humans beyond their limits. He doesn't think of people as people. 『Even if you gather numbers, it won't work on me. You come out yourself. 』 I'm reluctant to deal with fodder any more.

Next, someone will probably die. If only he took the provocation, I could deal with him alone. But it didn't go that easily. 『Fuhahahaha! Your motivation is first-rate. Brat! You say you will "fight" me? 』 An underestimating attitude. He is saying that it won't even be a fight between him and me. As long as he thinks so, he will surely continue this ridiculous entertainment forever. Anger boils up. Intending to glare at him, I glared at the front where soldiers were standing up one after another.

『But indeed, attacking normally was rude. 』 『... What? 』 『Then—how about this? 』 The mages all ready their magic at once. That's not all. Surprisingly, the remaining swordsmen—all drew Qi Swords. Qi Swords? Most of them shouldn't be able to use such things. How. 『This level is a piece of cake with my power. 』 [Domination]. Just how far does a FabL—. And what is this. This abnormal rise in power. The power overflowing in them was far beyond the realm of fodder.

Each of them has enhanced their power to the level of a first-class warrior, or even Argus or Inea, or perhaps even surpassing them. Clearly forcing them. If he does something like this. Magic Power and Qi that could no longer be controlled began to run wild immediately. Starting from the weaker ones among them, their arms became hot, inflamed, and began to swell bubbling. Even from a distance, it looks too painful. Yet as if feeling nothing, they continue to increase their power calmly.

Some even began to die, unable to endure and running out of strength midway. Bodies causing thermal runaway melt into mush. It was a gruesome sight to behold. Doing such a thing half for fun, the man is completely amused. I couldn't suppress the anger welling up. 『You. I won't let you get away with this. 』 『Try it if you can. 』 Rapidly increasing energy causes a fierce wind toward the troops. The atmosphere was trembling biribiri. Just facing each other like this, I feel something chilling.

I silently readied my right hand. Concentrating Magic Power in my palm, I increase it quietly. 『What's wrong. Not dodging? You can dodge if you want, you know? 』 Hateful sneering shakes my head gangan. Shut up. Even though you know. Don't screw with me. You bastard. I was about to snap. Where do you think is right behind me! If I dodge here. Sacris won't get off lightly! Knowing that fully well, this guy is...!

However, no matter how much I hate the enemy, the opponent I have to deal with now is the one in front of me. Even if I am moved as he pleases in this place—I have no choice but to intercept. I put Magic Power into my readied hand with all my might. Wind Super-Advanced—no, with just magic, the power is totally insufficient. I decided to bet on the magic I devised recently.

"《Saint—" Magic for about five thousand people, and Qi for about five thousand people. The surge of ten thousand combined creates an intense light that could be mistaken for the sun on the ground. Unlike the sun, the magic of each attribute combines to depict a beautiful shine like a rainbow. How good it would have been if this were a show. There was no doubt that the power squeezed out beyond each individual's limit possessed overwhelming destructive power sufficient to erase Sacris. There is no hesitation.

A desperate attack was fired from the puppets. Seven colors of light intertwine. To that, the white light of immense Qi is added. A torrent swallows everything.

"—Blaster》!" Intercepting is just a single beam of light. The original deep green color of Mana, the same as the atmosphere, lit by highly condensed Mana. By daring not to change it. By compressing it as it is. Energy loss can be kept extremely low. The most simple and primitive magic with the most powerful force. Just a Mana energy wave. To counter the tremendous area, I increased the output at the tip of my palm and spread it forcibly. Colliding torrents. Light and light.

I receive the attack of ten thousand people single-handedly. Tremendous recoil attacked my whole body.

"Gu... gi...!" Tight. I feel like I'll be pushed back. My hand is hot as if burning. I brace myself desperately. Cracks appear in the ground. My feet gradually sink into the soil. Me and the ranks. The things colliding in the center swell and scatter intense sparks. I didn't understand anything else. I was desperate. If I don't push this back. I lose. Sacris too. My fate too. Squeezing out even more Magic Power, I put everything into the beam. Gradually recovering—. —A chill ran through me.

Sky—an unpleasant presence— When did they— As if surrounding me, they descended sharply from the sky. Thunder Dragon, Wind Dragon, Earth Dragon, Water Dragon, Light Dragon, Black Dragon. The strongest natural creatures on this planet. Hey, hey... All at once? Except for the Fire Dragon, whom I strongly told to hide and be cautious. All are being controlled. They have no will. No pride. Just as commanded. Toward me who cannot move, they gather breath simultaneously. Thunder, Wind, Earth, Water, Light.

And the strongest Black Flame breath attacked all at once. Omnidirectional simultaneous attack. There is no escape. 『He must be dead this time. 』 When I heard his sneer. I could no longer suppress my intense rage. Don't underestimate me. Like hell I'll be defeated in a place like this!

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!" I scream frantically. I explosively unleashed the Magic Power sleeping within me.
