Chapter 277 – Showdown – Part 1
I could tell just by looking at it.
The size of the magic attribute itself was not significantly different. From the beginning, from the count level, the compatibility that comes from the differences in how to fight and the characteristics of magical power is more important than the size of magical power.
But this…
“It’s a ghost town itself.”
The water is frozen. Nothing moves, as if time stood still.
It cannot be attributed to the magic of winter. It must have been fixed due to the stubborn magic that has dwelled in this land for a long time.
“It looks like a dead city.”
“Okay. It reminds me of that city.”
The medicine created by the red blood reminds me of a city where the magic of the earth has died. It meant that it was so bleak.
I especially hated Alina’s face.
“Are you okay?”
“… Okay. He’s not a kid enough to be affected by the magic around him. It just makes me feel bad.”
The cycle of Mother Nature itself was blocked by the magic of stubbornness. Just as stagnant water rots, the quality of magic gradually rots.
Alina quickly grasped the magical energy she felt in the land heavily affected by it.
“I’m sorry.”
At that time. A king appeared. King Bastien, who climbed to the top of the palace with light steps as if he had gone for a walk, looked this way as if he was happy and opened his mouth.
“It’s not a nice sight. Isn’t it?”
Seeing the sudden appearance of King Bastian, Alina and the women around me immediately retreated.
“Meet Your Majesty.”
“Hmm. Count Hyperion. No, are you a duke now? It will soon turn into a king. Congratulations It is rare for an existence to raise the level of magical power faster than you.”
“Thank you. Your majesty.”
Even though he is stuck in the capital, he is aware of his surroundings. Even though he is a mad king who destroys his own country with his own hands, does he still have subordinates working for him?
Loyalty unimaginable to modern people, but not uncommon in this world.
“Please forgive me for looking down from above.”
“Hmm. It’s okay. The sun must rise.”
While bowing his head to King Bastien’s praise, he apologized for being rude.
It’s not a relationship that can be said to be a king and a subject anymore, but you should be polite. King Bastien coolly dismissed my action and looked around.
King Bastian smiled bitterly at the desolate city that had collapsed and collapsed.
“The thought of restoring this must make my head hurt. How many documents and reports will be uploaded.”
Looking at it now, it seems normal. As if regretting what he had done, he still thinks of things to restore this situation. It’s embarrassingly lame.
“Then you shouldn’t do it.”
At my sharp words, King Bastien looked at me. Their gazes meet with the eyes imbued with the magical power of stubbornness.
“I can’t.”
Up
The earth shakes. Alina? No, it’s not her magical power.
“This funny thing.”
Hard!
The castle walls are shaking, the capital city, the city, the magic that has hardened in this area is finally starting to move after a long time.
“How can I give up?”
King Bastian speaks in a whisper and moves his hand.
Whoops!
As if the floodgates of a dam were opened and the collected water burst out, mana surged.
“Kuk!”
I can feel the waves of magical power that are happening throughout the city. In the aftermath of the pouring magic power, the prepared sun is activated.
Paaaaa-!
A cool breeze felt from below. The air cooled by the magic of winter is rising.
At the same time, the magic of winter rises. I admired the magic that moved as if it was targeting me.
No matter how obstinate magic it is, to not stop at preserving other people’s magic so far, but to move it so freely. Respect rises, but that’s it.
Right!
With the flick of a finger, streaks of light pour down from the sunlit sky.
Kwak Kwa Kwak!
The red burning light cuts away the magic of winter. Even if it was King Bastian, it was the magic of a dead man. Behind the magical power of winter, which was quickly being cut away, the hidden magical power of stubbornness appeared.
“Flaw. Nice.”
The moment when King Bastian raised his fist while smiling as if he really liked it.
My magical power, which controls the sky as a starting point, collides with the stubborn magical power rising from the ground.
Kurleung!
A deafening roar echoes between heaven and earth. At the same time, King Bastien clapped his hands once with both hands.
Match!
Cooong!
The magic of stubbornness stopped. The magical power of the burning winter disappears as if its power has been exhausted.
I narrowed my eyes at the figure of King Bastien, who backed away so easily. Suspicious
“Whoops. You. Do you know anything about war?”
“Is it war?”
King Bastien, who had once moved his magic, asked calmly. He chews the words calmly and answers while rolling his head about how to move.
“I have done a war on the floor. Like the war of the stars, or the war of the world.”
“Hmm? Are you talking about chess? Well, that’s similar.”
Even though they were demons, there were only beginners.
King Bastien, who was questioning the name of the game he had never heard of, nodded as if he had understood it in his own way.
“I always thought about what to do to win the war.”
“Is it a story of strategy?”
“It’s similar. It’s just that my hair isn’t good. I’ve overcome it to some extent by having those who are called bookkeepers by my side, but there’s a limit. I was thinking about how to move.”
“… So how did you move?”
At my words, King Bastien laughed.
“You did something the other person didn’t like.”
“…”
It was too simple for the king who ruled the country to say. The problem was, seeing King Bastien’s appearance, it seemed to be really true.
“If the opponent wants a field battle, a siege. If you want a siege, go into the field. When this side was at a disadvantage, we mainly conducted a surprise attack while thoroughly running away.”
I don’t fight on the battlefield my opponent wants. Eliminate the opponent’s advantage one by one while increasing the one’s advantage.
“Of course, it’s not as easy as it sounds, and I’ve been caught in traps many times, but to put it simply, that’s it.”
Don’t give the other person what they want.
“It still is today.”
Each.
The moment King Bastian smiled, I noticed then.
“A connection?!”
Irina, Alina and Amelia. Their connection is broken. Looking right behind her, I noticed that there was a huge wall between them and me.
Appearance is seen The figures of the girls shouting while looking at us with pale faces. However, I couldn’t feel the voice or even the sign of magic.
“Did you block the space!”
“Yes.”
Using the magic of winter as bait, King Bastian built a wall of magic around him.
“I knew about the bloody chains of the Marquis of Kilias. It’s a foolish way, but I have to admit that it’s an efficient technique anyway.”
And I won against the Marquis of Kilias. King Bastian noticed that.
Shuk-!
King Bastian pointed at the Irinas behind me.
“I can’t say I know you well, but did you really take your lovers to the battlefield for no reason? I don’t think so.”
My journey. And the magical properties of Irina. King Bastian moved his few limbs and guessed with the information.
“There must be something. It was hard to figure out what it was. But in any case, it will be to your advantage and against me. Isn’t it?”
“… Haha, that’s right.”
“So I stopped. Were you mean?”
Seeing King Bastien laughing mischievously, I laughed too.
“Haha. Because it’s a war. Even so, I wouldn’t say it’s lethal in real combat.”
“I’m glad.”
Interfere with what the other person wants, and pick and choose what you don’t want to happen to. It was as King Bastian had said.
After spending some time talking, I sprayed the magic of winter as bait and created a wall between me and them.
A skill you don’t know what… , To prevent creation.
“Ruler. Then what are you going to do?”
King Bastian opened his arms.
“The weight difference… Well, no matter what, I’m higher.”
I could see the magic of stubbornness moving faintly near King Bastian. Firm and solid
“Am I a bit at a disadvantage in terms of compatibility? Well, this is worth it.”
The source of the sun’s mana is energy. Even if the mana of stubbornness wants to hold on to my strength, it’s not easy.
Of course, you’ll have to fight to know for sure.
It is true that I am at a disadvantage. Both I and King Bastien know that. That’s why King Bastian smiled and looked forward to it.
The appearance of not having the slightest doubt that I would not quietly step down like this. Laughing bitterly at the old king’s heart pounding like a little boy, I also raised my magic.
Keying-!
Enjoying the sunlight pouring in from the sun, I spread my palms.
“Really. I was surprised.”
Construct magic on the palm of your hand. Then, I glanced back.
Amelia was seen trying to break down the wall. Due to the wall of stubbornness, you can’t even feel the magical power, but it’s definitely not an ordinary power.
“Haha.”
Even King Bastian knew that. Even so, he laughs and takes the time to watch me.
I don’t have high expectations, but even if it’s King Bastian, I can’t turn my mind off at all. Some resources will be consumed maintaining this wall.
But what about the odds of winning?
Mmm. I still want to be low
“Still, it’s not like a gacha game.”
Suffice.
Pod!
The promise is over. Above the palm. A missile made of iron that is now familiar is revealed, Little Boy.
Looking at that, King Bastien smiled.
“Whoops. You’re nervous. The source of all the power you have, which can be said to be the highest peak of the era in terms of destructive power.”
Looking at it, King Bastian also began to generate magic.
“Can I really stop it?”
“I hope you stop it sometime.”
The pinnacle of science created by an ordinary human without red blood and magical powers. The rising magic of stubbornness and the little boy who left my hand. Two forces collided.
Kwaaaaang-!!
