Chapter 805 – 805. Calamity Assault (2)
What Erin felt was a really weak sense of difference.
A really small and trivial sense of heterogeneity, as if recognizing the existence of oil mixed in water.
It is also because she has a separate sense that is different from that of other ordinary people, that she could feel it beyond her clouds, which her eyes could not perceive.
The animal’s feral instinct thus sent her warning to Erin, and the warning gradually materialized into danger.
“Nera!”
However, the time when the danger struck was overwhelmingly faster than she felt with that sharp wild instinct and moved her actions.
Wow!
The aftermath of the fierce magical storm striking the barriers set up in the sky was enormous.
The shock completely hit the mage tower city inside the barrier, and the incident that made the atmosphere vibrate and the ground tremble was enough to put the city in bewilderment.
“This…”
Nera, feeling the change belatedly, hardened her face and stood up from her table.
There was no time to enjoy a leisurely dinner.
Nera hurriedly left the restaurant and stared at the middle of the street, then her gaze turned upward.
“Shit! What the hell is this!?”
“What! This vibration!?”
People’s reaction to the situation was so sudden that it was full of panic.
Hearing a voice full of embarrassing questions that no one answered, Nera murmured softly.
“The barrier… !”
Has disappeared.
The enormous barrier that surrounds all directions of this mage tower city, the barrier that protects the city itself has disappeared.
“Then that attack…”
It must have been an external attack that forcibly blew the barrier itself.
But is it really possible?
The defense barrier of the Mage Tower City is a semi-permanent, top-notch barrier created by dozens of top-ranked wizards in the Mage Tower with the motif of the sacred defense barrier of Erenium, the capital of the Holy Kingdom of Erenia.
Even if it was inferior to Erenium’s defense barrier, it boasted a solid defense that had never allowed a single outside invasion since its operation.
I’ve never experienced it before, but the defense barrier, which was theoretically designed to withstand even eight-digit high-level magic, broke after the barrier could barely withstand a single magical attack?
Since she is one of the three elders of the Mage Tower, she couldn’t easily accept this fact and put on a blank expression.
“This is nonsense… !”
“Eh, the barrier of the magic tower… !?”
If even Nera couldn’t accept it easily, it would be impossible for the wizards in the city belonging to the Mage Tower to accept the situation right in front of them.
The fact that the barrier, which was a pride and lifeline for the wizards of the Mage Tower, was broken by an external attack was enough to cause great confusion.
The wizards in the city as well as the citizens felt the sudden earthquake and the changed atmosphere and fell into confusion.
And in the midst of that chaos, Erin was the first to come to her senses and start to grasp the situation.
“Nera. Lord Nera!”
“Uh, huh?”
Erin shook Nera’s shoulder wildly, who was staring blankly at the empty space where the barrier had been broken, and awakened her spirit.
“First of all, you have to figure out the situation! There’s no way it could end with just that attack!”
Erin’s judgment was correct.
It was not a priority at this point to determine why the barrier was broken, whether magic with power exceeding eight-digit high-ranking magic really existed, and whether it was true or not.
It was a very nerve-wracking factor, but more important than that was ‘what happens next?’.
The barrier has been broken.
But who can guarantee that the situation will end with that alone?
The act of breaking the barrier by some means in the first place was just a cornerstone for the next situation.
This situation was an unprecedented situation that had never happened before in the history of the Mage Tower and the city, but it was the starting point of future disasters.
“That, right… !”
Nera immediately understood Erin’s words and gave her a hasty nod.
But what should I do?
Nera hesitated.
It was the first time this situation had happened to her.
Even during the war with the Empire, many wizards participated in the battlefield to support the Mage Tower, but Nera at the time lived only in the Mage Tower as a trainee.
Illyana, who was an apprentice but quit her life at the Mage Tower and went on a journey in pursuit of a man, was a truly unique case.
So, even though she is one of the three elders of the Mage Tower, Nera, she is one of the youngest women and has never experienced an emergency like this.
The moment he hesitated and couldn’t take proper action, the situation only got worse.
Dismissed!
“Uh?”
Erin once again felt a chilling sensation running through her body sending her warning.
She unconsciously looked up into the void.
“… What is that?”
“What… You mean?”
Nera also followed her erin and lifted her head above her, but she couldn’t see anything in her field of vision.
A great distance that can never be seen by the eyes of an ordinary person.
It was a distance that could not be properly identified due to the dark night sky and clouds, but Erin recognized it accurately.
Something was floating in the sky.
“… Marble?”
The bead, which rotates fiercely and emits light, shows off its presence even more than the countless stars embroidered in the sky.
Eventually, the orb floating in the sky began to emit intense light toward the city of the mage tower directly below.
“Ugh… !”
Facing the dazzling light like the sun rising in the night sky, the entire city, including Erin, frowned and covered their eyes with their hands to protect them.
Eventually, as the light subsided, Nera could see a blue curtain of light covering the entire city.
“This tent… ?”
At first, she thought that a new defense barrier might have been set for a while.
After about a second, Nera gave up on her idea completely.
She realized belatedly that the flow of magic power in the air was abnormal.
It’s not like a defensive barrier to defend the city.
This tabernacle was a prison that isolated the city of the Mage Tower from the outside world.
And the effects of this prison.
“The magic… It is not written.”
Blocking the source of magic using mana.
Seeing the effect, Nera’s complexion hardened.
“What, what… !”
“Why is magic… !?”
In order to figure out the situation belatedly, they tried to cast the magic they used most often and could use well, but that itself became impossible, and the wizards in the city began to panic.
Embarrassment eventually led to panic and in a situation filled with confusion, Erin also analyzed the current situation.
As a test of herself, Erin used the magic within her body to strengthen her own body, which is the most basic way to use her magic.
‘Thank god. It’s not like I can’t use magic itself.’
It was fortunate if it was really fortunate out of misfortune.
Erin let out a small sigh of relief and didn’t hesitate any longer.
“Nera. Sorry.”
“What? What!? Kyaaak!?”
After her apology and her actions, Erin suddenly took her Nera in her arms and started running through the city streets.
Erin’s speed at a gallop, even supporting her weight, was so abrupt that it caused her to let out a panicked scream.
“Uh, where are you going!?”
Nera asked, forcefully tidying up her wind-blown hair.
Erin, galloping at her brisk pace, said her own destination without her hesitation.
“The main entrance to the city!”
The reason is that she felt something creepy about her by the front door.
Not quite as much as her tremendous magic, which had just destroyed the entire city’s defense barrier, but Erin, who was particularly trusting of her senses, was certain that something was going on at the city’s gates.
And what is the reason she destroyed the city’s barrier?
It was only natural for her to recall the possibility of an invasion.
Right now, the city of the Mage Tower is in danger.
Thinking of that, Erin accelerated her pace.
A distance that would have taken her hours on foot, she covered in just a few minutes and reached the main gate of the Magic Tower City. Erin immediately recognized the situation in front of her.
Haha!”
Haha! Kill them all!”
“Damn wizards!”
“It’s looting!”
“Shit… ! Stop it!”
“Ah! What are wizards doing!?”
“The magic doesn’t work!”
“When will the support come!?”
The air was filled with the blood of intruders trying to enter the city beyond the entrance of the main gate and the blood of the guards guarding the main gate.
“Three, my God… !”
Nera was horrified to see the devastation before her eyes.
Bodies strewn on the floor.
A terrible scene filled with corpses with their limbs cut off and their bodies hacked to pieces.
It was not easy to endure the smell of blood stinging my nose and the disgusting sight in front of me.
“Ooh, ooh… !”
Despite being an elder, Nera, who had never witnessed such horrific horrors with her own eyes, eventually had to regurgitate all the dishes she had just eaten at the restaurant.
Erin pulled out the Levantine she wore around her waist.
“Whoa.”
He took a deep breath and glared at the intruders at the front door with sharp eyes.
“Please be…”
Erin fervently prayed in her heart and activated one of her secret tricks, ‘witchcraft’.
[Barbarian Witchcraft (狐族姚術)]
[Fox fire]
Confirming the existence of the blue fox fire rising from her palm, Erin’s eyes lit up.
It was really fortunate.
The nine-tailed fox magic that Erin uses is a special technique that is different from magic.
Inside this mage tower city, where she is currently restricted from using her magic for some reason, Erin has found her faintest hope.
With a blazing blue fox-fire wrapped around the Levantine’s blade, Erin ran toward her front door.
“Hey, hey!?”
Before Nera, embarrassed by Erin’s outburst, had time to stop her, Erin sprinted toward her front door.
Running straight in her straight line, Erin accelerated by maximizing the angular strength of her legs, cutting through the wind and concentrating all her power on the tip of the Levantine’s blade.
[Galahad Raise Sword]
[Gale Knight]
The flurry of sword strikes that slashed through the strong wind showed speed and penetrating power close to that of shooting in a sense, and pierced the neck of one of the intruders.
“Big, huh!?”
The intruder was not even aware of Erinn’s intrusion.
Without a chance to counterattack properly, he was pierced through the throat in an instant and died as he spewed blood out of his mouth without being able to utter a single scream.
As the penetrating Levantine blade was pulled out, the intruder’s blood gushed like a fountain and he fell to the floor.
Erin quickly stepped back to avoid blood spattering on his clothes.
“What. What year?”
“Are you strong?”
“Adventurer?”
“Did you arrive earlier than expected?”
Other intruders around her began to be wary of Erin, who neatly and quickly sent one of her own teammates to the goal.
“…”
Erin quickly scanned the area with both eyes to determine the number and capabilities of the intruders.
‘The number is 20. I don’t see anyone who is exceptionally strong. Even if it’s annoying by myself, I can try it…’
The problem was the number of intruders.
Even if the use of magic was restricted, there was no way that only 20 people invaded to occupy the city of the Mage Tower.
There must be some kind of force with more numbers behind it.
‘Or is there another target?’
Erin pondered, but no clear answer came out.
For now, the priority was to clean up the invaders in front of us.
