Chương 245: Chapter 27: “Sacris Burns”

A wall of Magic Power deployed spherically to encase myself blocks the Dragons' breaths. My entire field of vision was dyed emerald. Forcibly solidifying the defense, I further increase the output of 《Saint Blaster》. Pushing in at once. The equilibrium collapsed. The tide is in my favor. But at this rate, I'll wipe out all ten thousand people. To avoid a direct hit, I lift it upward and deflect the trajectory. The maximum beam swallowed the opponent's attack and blew it away to the other side of the sky.

"Haa... haa..." After the roar that pierced the atmosphere, silence returns. The soldiers... at least their shapes remain. No time to be relieved. My arms are numb. Heavy as lead. I managed somehow. But that just now took most of my Magic Power. I won't be able to withstand the next one. I'm surprised myself that I could do this much. Did he see through that? Without a moment's delay, he was trying to make them repeat the same attack again. The Dragons gather breath.

The army is squeezed of energy beyond its limit again. The soldiers' bodies are breaking down under merciless torture. Like hell I'll let you do it twice. Casting Space-Time acceleration magic, I draw my Qi Sword and leap. At a speed invisible to the eye, I pounce on the Dragons dancing in the sky. Sorry. One. Two. Three. With a honed strike of the Qi Sword, I cut off the Dragons' heads one after another. There was no other way. You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.

Losing control, the Dragons spew fresh blood and crash powerlessly. Faster than the first Dragon I cut hit the ground, I had severed the heads of all the Dragons. Immediately, I check the army with 《Qi Severing Shockwave》. I fired it stronger than the first blow. This will cause deaths in their weakened state, but it can't be helped. If I hold back and leave them in a state where they can move, they will just be used by him until they really die. If that's the case. An invisible shock is generated.

The battered soldiers were rolled up one after another and blown away. Landing. This time, almost no one stood up. 『Hahahaha! You're working hard! How many died just now? 』 『Shut up. Silence. 』 While cursing, I desperately regulate my ragged breathing. I don't think this is the end. What comes next. At that moment, I felt an unpleasant flow of air behind me. Turning around—. Smoke and flames were rising from the town of Sacris.

"Wha..." 『Oh my, oh my. What a pity. Even though you were protecting it so desperately. They say they want to destroy it themselves. 』 Words too transparently false. Damn it. He could have done this anytime if he felt like it. He was toying with our fate all along. I could see intense black smoke rising clearly even from this slightly distant position. That town, so peaceful and beautiful, is burning. Because of our battle. Are Alice and the others safe? My chest feels like it's being tightened.

Since when did I become such a worrier? Here and there, people's movements are violent. It seems not all citizens are being controlled. Over a thousand strong ones are reaping the weak. Lives are disappearing. Of all people, he controlled the Swordsman Corps and Magic Corps gathered to protect the town. Calm down. Don't ride his pace. It will only make him get carried away. Even though I knew it, I couldn't suppress my emotions. 『Cut it out! Is it fun doing this!? 』 『Hahahaha! Fun, indeed! It's delightful!

』 After a beat, a sneer with implication pierces my brain. 『Seeing a brat like you writhe in agony. 』 The sound of snapping fingers was heard. Someone appears one by one at positions surrounding me on four sides. I opened my eyes wide. My whole body freezes. I wanted to look away. I didn't want to believe it. I had considered it as a possibility. I thought 'what if', but I didn't want to believe it. 『Let me introduce the strongest warriors in this country. My special make. 』"Vitterweitz!"

I even forgot about telepathy. The blood in my head felt like boiling. 『Egliff. Bassania. And—no need for introductions, perhaps. 』 Unbearable anger and frustration dominate my whole body. If I could have moved faster. If I could have warned them faster. That's why. That's why they weren't there. 『That's right. I wanted to see that face. 』 What a tasteless guy. Only at times like this, he intentionally leaves their consciousness. The "enemies" standing in front of me. The figures my eyes capture are unmistakable.

It was Inea holding a Qi Sword with an expression of agony, and Argus readying magic.
