Chapter 55 – Meteor Impact
A field strewn with innumerable gray armor and fragments of various weapons.
“It was a good fight.”
—Wheek!
In the middle of it, I swung my sword into the air and brushed off the blood.
Only the faint scent of blood lingering on the tip of his nose told him what had happened here a little while ago.
‘The Unity Knights were really formidable opponents.’
If it had been a classic team fight, my men would have been swept away in an instant. Or it may have been rather an obstacle to using a wide range of technologies.
Fighting alone was obviously an impulsive decision, close to a half-gamble, but in the end it turned out to be the right choice.
I had to deal with the enemies with all my heart, without measure, to see them regrouping and charging at me not long after being hit head-on by the lion’s roar.
In addition to the blind fighting spirit reminiscent of the berserkers of the north, the enemy’s characteristic of not losing morale as the number decreased, but rather becoming stronger, was definitely quite threatening.
‘I think I was a little excited… ‘
Even so, I wondered if he had fought too violently against the loyal knights of the empire, not the enemy to be eliminated.
Even those whose heads were blown off, and those who were completely fleshed out, were all wrapped up in the light and returned to their healthy state when they disappeared, so it would probably be okay.
Lord Kairos, who survived until the end, looked up at me, covered in the blood of the Unity Knights, with an expression of disbelief.
“Cool…! Truly, it’s a power outside the standard. Then that arrogant disposition is fully understandable. Did it all come from confidence, not pride…!”
I approached him, who was bleeding profusely with a hole in his stomach.
At first, I thought he was a young and unlucky person, but when I saw him facing swords, he was more exciting than I thought and had a manly side.
At the last moment, it was particularly impressive to see him wielding a tremendous force by concentrating the energy that had greatly increased the fighting power of his men into himself.
Thanks to that, the bad first impression has already been blown away.
“Your skill was also excellent. I thought you were the type of person who only trusts your subordinates and takes form from behind, but your body is also quite powerful.”
“Ha! Listening to such a thing, there are so many things I want to say. Even if you try hard in a defeated position, it will only become ugly.”
“Rest now, Lord Kairos.”
“Damn it…”
— Hwaaaaagh!
Soon after, he, too, became light and disappeared. He was fortunate that he didn’t have to kill for confirmation.
“Whoa…”
After completely defeating the Unity Knights. I was able to take a deep breath only after belatedly.
He didn’t bother showing off because he was in front of his enemies, but dealing with hundreds of superhumans alone was very burdensome on both sides of the mind and body.
The armor received from the enemy’s attacks was severely damaged, and it was inevitable that pain was felt throughout the body.
Fortunately, injuries heal quickly due to the nature of this space.
If you sit down and rest, you may get better faster, but you shouldn’t rest just yet.

‘Are your subordinates going to be safe? Please… ‘
The way back to the temporary base with all your feet in an uneasy mind.
Just as expected.
—Whee-oh-oh… !
I clench my teeth and speed up even more at the white snowflakes blowing from over the hill and the sound of the chilling wind in my ears.
Since they formed an allied army, they predicted in advance that they would inflict a siege.
However, if the battle had already taken place, how long could the allied forces without the leader survive?
Considering the fact that Lord Liddell, the leader of the Frost Knights, is one of the most powerful people among those who possess the Image of the Manifestation, he may have already been annihilated.
—Kkuguguk… !
It’s a waste of time to climb the hill. When you’re gathering strength in your legs to jump over it all at once.
“Captain, you’re all right! It’s a relief!”
The 3rd Centurion Commander, Sir Karl, who had been dispatched as a messenger to propose an alliance between the Knights of Corvo and the Knights of the Temple, stopped me.
To come back so early And the battle seems to have broken out, but what the hell are you doing here without hurrying and joining the allies?
There are many things I want to ask, but first, the core.
“The situation is urgent right now. What happened to the alliance? Just report the results quickly.”
“Yes. The alliance has collapsed. Why don’t the two knights suddenly fight each other and destroy each other!”
“What?”
However, the answer was so absurd that I had no choice but to pause for a moment.
“It looks like they weren’t on good terms with each other in the first place! We succeeded in arranging a three-way meeting, but the commander of the knights of the temple suddenly quarreled with the commander of the knights of Corvo, saying evil powers and all…”
Shit, what the fuck is that?
Anyway, the alliance itself was impossible in the first place. I was very curious about the whole story, but I didn’t have time to listen further.
“Enough, that’s it. Do you have any idea how the battle situation on the ally’s side is going?”
“I don’t know! I just arrived too.”
“Okay, then excuse me for a moment.”
“Yes? What do you mean?”
I wondered why I was here alone, but it was difficult to ask anything more because I had just arrived.
Now I had to go back to my men. I held on to Lord Carol’s breastplate with my right hand and gathered strength in my feet again.
—Quaaaaang!
Mighty leap. The air above was very refreshing. I quickly looked around the battle situation in the air.
“Aaaaagh! Captain, what is this?!”
I could feel the strong momentum of the two people in the localized blizzard where a tremendous chill was felt.
The Frost Knights and our forces were divided into two due to the raging snowstorm.
I know roughly how it works. If so, it is an immediate plan revision.
I straightened my stance by tossing the centurion, Carol, who was floating in the air at the friendly formation.
“Uh uh uh! It’s falling!!!”
The original isn’t such an ignorant technique, but this is the result of my own tweaking.
He probably wouldn’t have anything to say even if Master got angry.
Become one with the wind, play in the sky, and come to the ground.
Like a bird snatching its prey, it pierces the enemy sharply… Instead.
—Koo-goo-goo… !
Turn your body upside down and aim your sword at the ground.

It spurts the air with all its might and descends toward the ground.
— Aaaaang!
An earthquake occurred with a huge explosion. The ground was hollowed out as if a meteor had really fallen.
The spreading shockwave hit the Frost Knights’ forces that were huddled together.
“Aaghh?!”
“Meteorite, meteorite fell!”
The enemies in the center have already turned into light and disappeared, and those who survived are unable to control their bodies.
The original is not like that, but this technology I remodeled is very poor in practice.
It is a problem to reveal the hideous portents in the air between preparations. After all, wouldn’t everyone run away from a distance in advance or protect their bodies by wrapping mana around them?
It is a skill specialized in attacking enemy lines, but it is impossible to attack. There is no other contradiction like this.
If the attack went futile, there was no way to avoid being thrown into the middle of enemy lines afterwards.
However, right now.
—Whee-oh-oh… !
Thanks to the blizzard created by Frost Knight Commander, who possesses a powerful manifestation world image, almost all of the shortcomings were offset.
Thanks to this, I was able to create ideal results.
—Kooung!
After sweeping through the remaining troops, I entered the blizzard area.
The whole area was dyed in white, which made the senses a little confused, but it wasn’t enough to make the two men lose their momentum in the midst of battle.
Still, my body is getting dull due to the cold, so I’ll have to finish the situation quickly.
As he continued to walk, suffering from the cold, soon a battlefield of snow and ice unfolded before his eyes.
By the way.
“…What the hell are you?”
“That’s what I’m going to say. You, whose knee are you kneeling right now?”
—Bad… !
As he looked into the direction of the battle, his anger boiled over.
Vice-captain Agnes’s appearance was truly miserable.
She was on her one knee, her head bowed, resisting, constantly creating ice as blood dripped from the corners of her mouth.
“You’d better quit right now.”
The head of the enemy stared at him while burning an aura on his sword body.
It looks like everyone is trying to finish it. Even if it was a fake death, I couldn’t see the vice-captain die in front of my eyes.
“Just then, an earthquake apparently occurred outside. And the presence of more than half of my men disappeared in an instant. Did you do all of this?”
“Then what will you do? I can send you to my subordinates right now.”
“Sigh…”
After openly revealing his intention to live, Frost Knight Commander sighed and shook his head slowly, gaining momentum.
It looks like he’s trying to avoid a fight. However, I was not vigilant because I did not know when it would change.
The blizzard that swept the surroundings began to subside gradually, and Knight Commander Frost took out a mirror-shaped artifact and carefully looked inside.
“Sir Kairos, you’ve been attacked. I wondered where the mighty leader of the Knights of the Black Lion left his men and disappeared, but did he really deal with the Knights of Unity alone?”
“Yes.”
Even though they were located in completely different battlefields, they quickly figured out the whole story of the incident with limited information.
Frost Knight Commander, Liddell von Glasiel. It was the first time I had met her in person, but she was a woman with a very sharp brain and senses.
Judging from the momentum he felt, his skills were by no means inferior to that of Lord Kairos.
While he was contemplating whether he should attack and decapitate even now.
“It is surrender.”
“What?”
The declaration of surrender was unexpectedly heard.
