96 – Decide, and Persevere (3)

‘Since my father stepped in, there’s no need to worry about that side.’

It’s just that I didn’t stand out in the shadow of me and Aisha, but when it comes to court mages, it’s a title that only exceptional mages can get on the continent.

Of course, it is not a position determined simply by the strength of magic or mana.

Even if you have a fighting style that is not like a mage like Hilde Sernai, if your level and uniqueness are recognized, even a swordsman can get the title of a mage.

At that time, rather than the word mage, they were called by the nickname given to them by the emperor.

‘I just need to focus on this side…’

Just in case, I took a look at the faces of the members of the Marsh of the Five Elements who were drawing their bowstrings at us.

But as expected, the black eyes I was looking for were nowhere to be seen. I don’t know if I should call this a relief.

“What should I do, Tyr? Shall we wipe it all away?”

“Umm…”

A quick glance revealed that there were a little over 100 people gathered there. If they had been able to use mana, they would have been able to gauge how skilled they were.

Most of Aisha’s evaluations are crude, so it’s hard to know properly. What to do with this

“First of all… Let’s thin it out.”

Among them, there will be a difference in skill, so she brought up her words with the thought that it would be fine to focus on those who had blocked Aisha’s attack at least once.

Quickly deal with rubbish mobs and focus only on the target you need to focus on. It’s a basic playstyle for gamers.

As if waiting for my words, Aisha spewed mana.

“Okay!”

Then, as if each of her fingers had her own will, she began to complete her incantation at breakneck speed, drawing separate runes.

It’s difficult to draw a triangle with the left hand and a square with the right hand at the same time. Aisha drew a completely different rune at the same time with her ten fingers, then repeated her erasure.

Up to intermediate level magic, you can easily use magic by destroying the chant.

“Shoot!”

The swamps of the Five Elements let go of their bowstrings in unison, releasing black beams of light. There’s no way you’ll give the wizard time to sing.

But we have Aisha’s magic barrier and an excellent tank named Serien.

“I will stop it!”

Serien stepped out in front of Aisha and raised her two shields.

Kaga Gaga River!!

Once the arrows were blocked by the magic barrier, they ricocheted. Even if it was pierced, it flew towards us with its power drastically reduced.

She is Serien who even blocked the arrow that was just shot in the first place. He was able to block the flimsy arrows without difficulty even while standing.

Aisha, who had completed her magic in just a few seconds, raised her hands to the sky and shouted with all her might.

“Pruna Knox! Tempestas!”

Aisha, who activated two magics at the same time, put a stronger barrier around us so that we wouldn’t be caught in the aftermath of the magic.

Kururureung!!

Right after that. A bloody blizzard hit the Swamp of the Five Elements, making it impossible to see an inch ahead. At the same time, a cloud accompanied by a thunderstorm came and began to engulf them.

Part of the vacant lot was instantly transformed into a landscape resembling a frigid land as the snow piled up with tremendous momentum from the great magic that shook the spirits.

Frozen by the sudden cold wave and stranded in the snow, they did not even get the chance to escape satisfactorily.

And then, a heartless thunderbolt strikes over their heads as they become immobilized.

“aaa!!”

His body, weakened by the cold, was given an intense thunderbolt. No matter how much mana was wrapped around her body to defend herself, she would not have the ability to withstand it.

Serien, who had been staring at the scene blankly with her eyes wide open, murmured in a small voice as if in a state of fascination.

“This… This amount of magic in such a short time…”

Huhu, isn’t our Aisha amazing? I was so proud that I inflated my chest.

To fend off the army of dragons alone, of course, it is important to fire powerful magic that covers a wide area.

So, the true value of Aisha’s magic only stands out when she uses wide-range magic that releases mana that seems like she’s going crazy.

Aisha narrowed her eyes and stared at the place they were at. With the naked eye, nothing could be seen as it was blocked by the snowstorm, but Aisha’s eyes must have seen a completely different landscape.

“There are a few… there are those who hold out.”

“Those guys seem to belong to the strong axis. How is the devil?”

“I’m fine.”

As expected.

“What should I do? Shall we drive away like this?”

They’re not the kind of people who would spit out information just because they’re interrogating you. Rather, it could be like making seeds for a swamp of five elements in the imperial castle as an interrogation.

As I was about to tell Aisha to wipe it all away, an idea came to my mind and I paused for a moment.

It bothered me that ‘that guy’ I had been looking for as an assassin was still nowhere to be seen. I don’t know why, but I wanted to talk to him a little more.

“I just need to kill all but one.”

“One person? Who?”

“Anyone.”

Since we’ve already figured out that there’s no black eye there anyway, it’s enough to leave one messenger to go back to him.

“It looks cold, so warm it up now.”

“Very… Good idea!”

Aisha smiled innocently like a child, and she chanted a spell that didn’t go with that smile at all.

“Ignis Lectio!”

The high level magic of the pillar of fire that always spews out from under my feet hit the swamp of five elements.

If what I suffered was a pillar of fire, it is a pillar of lava rising from under their feet. Forcibly hit by Iwilby, they couldn’t even scream and melted away.

How easy it is. I want to be like this.

While the situation was being sorted out step by step without lifting a finger, Aisha furrowed her brow.

“Hmm…? It’s strange.”

Isn’t it? Can’t it be that easy?

“What?”

“Except for the devil… Not two die.”

“Didn’t you intentionally leave one person alive?”

“Since those two were still alive, I killed the one I was trying to keep alive.”

It was an unexpected situation, but this is not a large margin of error. Wasn’t it just that there was an enemy stronger than we expected?

“How about using magic one more time?”

“All but the two of us have already been annihilated. Even though I’m concentrating firepower, I’m not dying, so there’s no need to use more.”

Then, suddenly, an assumption crossed my mind.

‘What if there wasn’t just one devil?’

At this point, I couldn’t make a mistake, so I started to assume the number of worst-case scenarios.

The condition for demons to manifest in this world is to absorb ‘sufficient wealth’. She couldn’t ignore the possibility that after Serien killed her own brother, her Boyle’s hopelessness would spring into her reality.

I asked Aisha in a low voice so that others could not hear her.

“Can you confirm that they both have the devil mark?”

Aisha shook her head with a single click.

“That’s nothing but dark clouds. At least, I can only spot the one whose demonic presence has become stronger because of his closeness.”

I had expected it to some extent, so I wasn’t too disappointed.

The cold is the dragon, the dark clouds are the devil, and the heat is the vampire.

As each Archwitch has magic specialized for the strongest species, she cannot show the strength of her natural enemy against other races.

“For now, let’s assume that those two might have the Devil’s Mark.”

“…I get it.”

Realizing what I was guarding against, Aisha nodded her head heavily, holding up the dagger of dark cloud she had received from her emperor.

Even if the two demons manifested, they would not pose a great threat to Aisha. The problem is that in that case, you may really have to be prepared to disappear.

‘One is not enough.’

Considering the worst case scenario, there are three potential demons, including Ufait. However, we have two daggers of dark clouds.

‘Should I use it?’

You can temporarily create an item such as the Dagger of Dark Cloud by using the Mana of Dreams in the Yukanis Storage Box.

However, this is an item prepared in case the black-eyed assassin appears, and in case a demon appears.

Isn’t it a little ambiguous to use the things you brought to prepare for 100 in the situation of 10? It would be a waste to use the elixir brought by the spleen to recover 10% of your health.

Moreover, there is no guarantee that those two are demons.

‘What can I do…’

I was put in a situation where I couldn’t do anything.

—–

The place where the Archwitch’s magic passed through was very clean. The corpses of that many people were all frozen and shattered, even a single trace of blood, and melted away in the lava.

There were only two people who had fallen on the floor and a brother who was standing with a rather heavy look.

The shock of witnessing the destructive and ferocious magic of the Archwitch for the first time in his life was put aside as soon as he saw his brother.

I have work to do.

“Brother…”

From now on… You must pierce your brother’s heart with a dagger.

I put his foot towards him.
