chapter 99
99 – New Artifact
It was a perfect attack.
Properly designed defense and attack.
Not only Rail, but also the soldiers who watched from behind thought so, and the colleagues who dealt with him in person also thought so.
However, everyone’s expectations began to break after the dusty wind that obscured their eyes began to subside little by little.
Meteor was hit with a direct hit, his whole face was burning, and he was bleeding a lot, but he hadn’t collapsed yet.
When expectations are high, despair is also felt.
The faces of those who thought they had perfectly defeated him start to turn into despair in an instant.
-Kleurrr!
And as if he was angry with Fenia’s attack, he starts attacking once again.
But this attack is different from the previous breath.
Hundreds and thousands of small magic circles appeared in the dark night sky.
And there, small meteorites of different sizes begin to fall one by one.
One of the dragon’s patterns that appears when the blood is shed beyond a certain level is the rain of meteorites.
Thousands of meteors hit the rail crew as well as the soldiers watching them from behind. And the meteorite fell to those who were protecting themselves in their homes.
Seeing that, Aline and Rayman jumped at the meteorite without the slightest hesitation.
Then he cut a meteorite the size of a rock with a knife.
But I can’t explode the black rock.
The only choice is to cut it in half.
But even if the rock split in half, the damage would not be reduced.
On the contrary, the huge boulder split in two and the damage only increased.
Kwaduk!
Allyne pressed her lips together.
I can feel the fishy taste of iron in her mouth.
‘The current attack will only cause more damage to the village.’
Faster.
I need to speed up my sword swing and cut enough rocks to pulverize them.
It is also not easy to turn rocks into powder on a flat land.
But now they are jumping into the air, kicking the falling meteorites and cutting them.
It is almost impossible to wield a sword delicately in the air, even to the point of turning meteorites into powder.
But neither Aline nor Rayman gave up.
It was because they couldn’t even guess how many people would die if they stopped swinging their swords.
“aaa!!!”
Raman swung his sword in the sky with a roaring spirit.
One sword. Exactly, the meteorite split in half.
But Rayman swung his sword once more before the meteor split in half and fell to the ground.
The meteorite was divided into four parts.
Mysteriously, the meteorite maintained its initial original appearance as if glue had been attached to it.
Raman’s eyes fell low as he gazed at such a gemstone.
Then he swung his sword at a speed that was incomparable to that of the moment before.
The speed was so fast that not even a single sequence of swinging the sword could be seen.
Raman’s sword froze for a moment, as if he had swung all his swords.
Then he spurred the rock, which was still in its original shape, and jumped higher.
Kwaguagua-!!
The meteorite that Rayman had kicked off instantly turned into powder and was blown away by the wind.
Raman, who hadn’t been able to pulverize rocks even on flat ground with his feet on the ground, did it in the air.
It was a good development to be a little proud of, but now Rayman doesn’t even have time to feel that sense of accomplishment.
I focused on clearing my thoughts and swinging my sword so that even a little meteorite would not fall on people.
And the person who was concentrating on erasing distractions and swinging the sword was Aline as well.
When Rayman pulverized one meteorite with a burst of energy, Aline lengthened the sword with an aura and pulverized three meteorites at once.
Overwhelming talent.
In a dangerous battlefield where life and death come and go, Aline and Rayman were quickly adapting and growing.
And you might not even notice the growing two.
That they are stepping into the realm of sword masters.
Watching Rayman and Allin erase the meteorite, Fenia quickly joined in and prevented the meteorite from falling with her magic.
I’m a bit short of breath due to high level magic, but I’m still able to use magic.
Hwiik-
Fenia swung her wand.
Then dozens of magic circles of different colors appeared in front of her.
I can feel a huge amount of magic in the magic circle with various elements such as fire, water, light, earth, and wind.
And after casting, Fenia used all of her magic at the falling meteorite, and the magic was fired at the meteorite.
Kwagwagwagwang-!!
More than dozens of Fenia’s magic collide with meteorites and explode.
The shattered meteorite starts to fall more sharply.
However, Fenia’s flame magic burned the falling meteorites, and the meteorites that turned to ashes were scattered in all directions due to wind magic.
Others also didn’t just watch.
Claire used flame magic toward the falling meteorite, and Claire used freezing magic to create an ice wall in the air so that the meteorite would not be damaged.
However, no matter how hard they tried to stop the falling meteorites, a few people could not stop all the thousands of meteorites.
And then, Rail, who was watching the scene, swallowed dry saliva.
The fact that you are the only one who can stop all the meteorites right now.
But I didn’t know how much to pay to stop those thousands of meteorites.
No, to be honest, he too could guess the cost of blocking the attack.
Death.
If you risk your life and use all the remaining mana in your body, you will be able to block it.
Anyway, if you don’t block the attack now, thousands of people may die.
But even though he had overcome numerous adversities, he could not help but tremble in front of the fear of death.
But the tremors did not last long.
There is no one other than myself who can block all the meteorites here.
The moment when Reil, who has hardened his heart, raises his magic power while watching thousands of meteorites falling from the sky.
From behind came a bright voice that didn’t match the battlefield.
“Rail!”
Then, seeing the face of a familiar girl running towards him, Rail paused to draw her mana and opened his mouth in surprise.
“Ellis?”
Rail’s eyes widened at the sight of Elise, who was supposed to be hiding her body in the mansion in the east.
But Alice didn’t seem to care about the reaction of the rails, so she came straight to the rails.
“Sorry for being late. Rail.”
“Why did you come to this dangerous place?”
Rails hardened her face and scolded Ellis.
No matter how talented she is in creating her artifacts, she’s not very helpful on a battlefield like this.
To be precise, she is too dangerous on this tough battlefield.
But Elise was looking at her rails with an expression that she hadn’t been wrong that she had come to this battlefield.
And as if to prove it, she took something of hers out of her arms and handed it to her rail.
“This, this… ….”
The item he received from Ellis was a staff slightly shorter than the one Fenia was carrying.
And unlike other wands, it was made of magic ore rather than wood, and small jewels were embedded between the wands.
“When I heard that Rail was kidnapped, I tried to run right away, but I couldn’t move until the artifact was completed. But luckily I got it right on time, right?”
Still in the dangerous situation of her meteorite falling from the sky, Elise felt no fear.
It was as if he believed that if Rail used this staff, he would take care of that meteor.
“… ….”
Rail was silent for a moment.
She rebuked Ellis for risking her own death for herself, because she was so ashamed of herself.
But Alice was not hurt in the slightest.
She also knew that Rail was worried about her, so she said that.
So, Elise just looked at her rail and said with a smile.
“The ability is the same as last time. The amount and power of magic are higher than before. Instead, instead of being able to use the accumulated magic like the previous ring, you can borrow magic from your future self.”
After hearing Alice’s explanation, Rail gave her a small nod.
And after a while, she raised her head, which had been lowered, as if she had made up her mind.
I could still see thousands of meteorites falling from the sky.
I didn’t really shake or tremble.
She then turned her head again and looked at the wand in her hand.
It’s the first time I’ve touched a cane, but it feels natural as if I’ve used it for decades.
She could tell right away how much effort she put into herself.
Rail lifted the wand towards the sky.
Attracts all the mana circulating inside the body.
The magic power, thicker than before, began to form on his staff through his hands.
And then, a chant filled with magical power leaked out of Rail’s mouth as he finished his preparations.
“Stop.”
Thousands of meteorites, each of which could not be stopped even by those called the pinnacle in their own territory, all stopped like a lie at a single word on the rail.
