Chapter 1191 – #281_All-Out War (6)
#1185
1.
Showers.
In a desert where even drizzle is difficult to see, years’ worth of precipitation pours down in tens of seconds.
If someone were to see this heavy rain from afar, they would think of a silver curtain covering a wide area rather than a raindrop, and would feel a sense of awe for Mother Nature.
However, Amelia’s shower seen from the witch’s point of view is not a product of Mother Nature.
Even greater than that, it is a bombardment of highly refined magic particles.
-Shoo!!!!
Amelia uses wide-area magic like Lruye, but their styles are completely different.
If Leruet is strength, Amelia is skill.
Amelia carefully controls every particle contained in hundreds of millions of raindrops.
This area is ruled by Amelia.
If the bombardment starts here where all the prominent archwitches are gathered, it is natural to prepare measures to prevent the projectiles from being stolen.
However, the particles that covered the son-in-law completely ignored the ballistic missile’s defense measures and penetrated as if they were seeing in.
“Commencement of interception.”
At the same time, the librarians of Valentinus’ Secretariat pulled their bowstrings toward the sky.
The arrows that flew against gravity towards the sky were scattered in search of their target like a bunch of needles.
Sometimes in a straight line, sometimes in a flowing curve, it penetrated all of the targets.
-Kwagwagwagwagwang!
If it were a normal missile, it would have ended here, but this target is humanity’s worst weapon, vaporizing a wide radius with just an air explosion.
The Verdant Witch’s artifact ‘Black Fruit’ mounted within it will hinder this attack so that it cannot be countered with magic.
This is where Amelia’s magic came into play.
-Tak
The moment Amelia’s fingertips pluck with a clear sound.
As soon as it is intercepted, the black flames that are about to explode and explode disappear all at once.
A ballistic missile that should have originally brought only terrible radiant heat, a huge sphere of light, destruction and death…
-Fuuuuuh!
It fulfilled its role as a spectacular fireworks display by scattering beautiful wild flower petals and embers in the air.
Thanks to this, decorations like a wedding hall were added to the dreary battlefield.
Black flames spread ravenously from a ballistic missile that fell to the ground without exploding properly, but was soon beaten by rain and completely extinguished.
“Wow, you really stopped all by yourself…”
“You’re stopping it alone? We assisted with ‘suppression’ techniques.”
“It’s not appropriate to say this, but… It’s really pretty. It’s pretty magic.”
The school of librarians, who had been watching anxiously, breathed a sigh of relief.
She blocked the enemy’s secret move without taking any damage.
However, this is only the position of each witch standing on the front line.
When looking at the war as a whole, it is interpreted differently.
“The Verdant Witch forced me to exchange it for an artifact she had prepared along with a modern weapon.”
“I understand. “It could be that the witch of perfume is on high alert.”
Eloa perceived reality more calmly than anyone else.
Count Gremory also expressed his agreement.
Amelia, who had floated in the air and cast a spell, landed softly.
“Miss Amelia, you have worked hard. It’s been a while since I’ve been dressed in uniform.”
“I didn’t have anything to wear these days because I was taking care of Mallika.”
After exchanging small talk, the two got straight to the point.
“How much is the consumption?”
“It’s pretty big. The composition of the black flame was more difficult than the sample I received in advance. “I’ll probably stop it once in the future, but I think you need to be prepared for more than that.”
“There might be a follow-up bombing, so would you please wait?”
“Yes.”
Eloa organized the situation.
The battle was reminiscent of a turn-based card game, or chess.
The situation is that they are exchanging each other’s moves alternately.
Both sides advance their familiar legions.
Hexennacht, sensing his inferiority her, presented a card called Nuclear Weapon + Artifact of the Verdant Witch.
Against him, Gehenna used a card called Amelia.
It can’t be said to be a very pleasant exchange on Gehenna’s side.
Amelia’s wide-area magic, which reaches the 23rd rank, denies the basis of the tactical doctrine of one-on-one confrontation between witches.
If used at the right time, he is a Joker who can take on enemies that are dozens of times his size like Lruye.
The only way to deal with her bombardment at the lowest cost was Amelia, so I was forced to use it.
Even though the Verdant Witch herself did not step forward, a major exchange occurred for one major piece.
Right now, Hexennacht feels like a satisfactory exchange rate.
“Miss Sharon, can you hear me well?”
[This is Sharon Evergreen, 1st Bombardment Battalion. Sensitivity is good! Ms. Amelia was really amazing, wasn’t she?]
“Let’s talk about winning the war and enjoying it leisurely over dinner. Are you ready?”
[Ready. I’m in really great condition today. We can’t lose either. Should I take a hit?]
“It will be a signal.”
However, it would be a mistake to say that only Hexennacht was prepared for war.
In preparation for the Gehenna War, several academic societies came together to prepare a ‘project’.
The ‘Reverse Netherlands’ project, which creates a sea in the desert through alchemy and creates Lerué’s home ground.
And now, the ‘Big Acorn’ project is being carried out by the 1st Artillery Battalion of the Central Army, which Sharon is leading.
“1st Bombardment Battalion! To the designated location!”
“Yep!”
“Ready scroll check! Check the power source!”
“All confirmed!”
Jeonmaji with geometric patterns engraved on the flat sand is spread out.
A magic formula so dense and delicately manipulated that even if a Persian carpet craftsman was brought in, people would wave their hands and say, “I can’t do this.”
This is a very large magic formula that borrows the symbol of the sacrifice and converts it into fire elemental magic.
There were about ten witches attached to five magic circles, and in addition, there was enough magic power to operate the ‘door’.
This war is not just about the fate of Gehenna.
It is an important battle that Gehenna must win, even on the human side.
Various countries naturally handed over decisive weapons to Gehenna under the pretense of coincidence or mistake.
That is the mechanical device that is strangely placed in the middle of the magic circle.
“Evergreen. I’m ready!”
“Please start.”
Sharon, who had previously welded the gates of Hexennacht using a nuclear warhead as a sacrifice, took advantage of that experience to become the leader and executor of this project.
The output of the borrowed ‘door’ is replaced with a large amount of magic water and the magic power of several witches,
Yeonsan, who received help from Siwoo, searches his memory and replaces it with a systematically created magic circle.
The bombardment witches all raised their magic power.
Like a computer processing processes in parallel, the information processed by each person is gathered to Sharon.
“Balance.”
The large rubies that Sharon had scattered irregularly at her feet lose their red glow and color and turn into transparent crystals.
-Gurrrr
What formed at the end of Sharon’s wand was a small white fireball the size of a child’s fist.
‘Pure fire’ that returns everything born from ashes to ashes.
Let Sharon wave her arms like a conductor to the climax of an orchestra.
-Qurrrr!!!
It was dark and became bright as daylight.
The pure white ray that brought about temporary daylight, originating from a small fireball at the tip of the wand, moved forward, burning everything in its path.
A straight path appears as if struck by a blowtorch in a corner of Hexennacht’s familiar army, which was as black as a swarm of spiders.
Where the fire swept directly through, hundreds of meters deep melted to form a lava canyon, and even in places that were not in direct contact with the flames, terrible hot winds burned the monsters caught up.
-Kwagwagwagwagwang!
And the second explosion, which follows the path taken by the brilliance and soars up into the sky, sentences the monsters who were barely able to breathe to death.
With this alone, 5% of Hexennacht’s familiar army was destroyed.
“Ha… Ha…”
Sharon caught her breath.
Cold sweat is streaming down her forehead.
Sharon’s role is to take charge of all calculations and magical power of this great magic.
Even though so many people are helping, it is not an easy task.
That’s when she realizes how crazy what Si-woo had done was.
Just now, the aim was off and some of our friendly’s familiars got caught up.
However, without being able to rehearse, only two artillery shells were prepared.
There is no next chance.
This time, the flame of the image is depicted more accurately in a clear and refined form.
“Balance.”
-Kugugu!!!
This time, not a laser, but ‘pure fire’ in the shape of a round sphere was fired at the Hexennacht camp.
Although some attackers tried to block or intercept it belatedly, pure fire burned and melted all resistance and advanced.
This is completely different from the method of using nuclear weapons that Hexennacht had prepared.
Unlike Hexennacht, which relies on the power of the nuclear explosion itself by adding a black fruit that undermines magical defense, the result of the ‘Big Acorn’ project is a magic that uses a nuclear warhead as a sacrifice.
It is common knowledge among all witches that magic with properly controlled power is more destructive than a nuclear explosion.
It is nearly impossible to block this attack, which is as good as creating the sun in an instant, with the power of just one person.
The moment when the magic of the artillery barrage brings the largest mushroom cloud in history to bloom in the desert.
-Uuuuun!!!
Space has opened.
There is no more appropriate expression than this.
An incomprehensible void spreads out behind the wide-open void, like the shape of a giant ‘eye’.
The void created blocking the path of pure fire swallowed the fire and soon closed.
Someone realized the identity of the magic and let out a sigh.
“Space magic…”
“Oh my god… Like that…”
“I thought you could even use dimensional magic?
A person who can blow pure fire with such concentrated power into a gap in an unobserved dimension.
There is only Blanche Erelim.
