Chapter 236 – Seven People in the Wilderness
Buuuuu!
The sound of the trumpet rings out on the battlefield.
Ridge! Ridge! Ridge! Ridge! Ridge! Dung!
What you soon hear is the sound of a loud drum.
The reason military bands exist on the battlefield is to accurately convey commands from commanders, which are difficult to hear due to physical distance, to front-line soldiers.
The moment the flags with the symbols of each country flutter in the wind and the soldiers who were walking in an orderly manner stop,
A dead silence fell on the plain.
Immediately after,
Waaaaa!!
Soldiers on both sides let out shouts and everyone starts running forward.
The ones at the forefront of the elf army are the cavalry, known as the flowers of the battlefield.
It was a group comprised entirely of Equites, a class of elf knights, and its breakthrough power could be considered to be at the highest level in the world.
“Prepare for a power crash!”
Soldiers of the Demon King’s Army raising their shields according to the orders of the field commander.
However, unlike the Elven Wood army, which was unified with standard weapons, the appearance of the Demon King’s soldiers wearing different types of armor was truly crude when viewed from a third party’s perspective.
“Tsk! We’re all in a defensive posture too!”
The commander of the dwarf army clicked his tongue at the sight, put on a horned helmet, and raised a shield made of adamantium.
Then, using their unique small bodies, the dwarf soldiers piled up shields layer by layer, like building a tower.
Eventually, the two groups collide in the middle of the plain.
Bang!!
Although it was clearly a simple lance charge, a sound rang out as if a bomb had exploded.
“Don’t retreat! Stay on display until the end!”
“Keeeeek!”
“Boohi profit!”
However, despite the commander’s desperate encouragement, low-intelligence races such as goblins, orcs, and trolls were busy breaking away from the ranks and running away.
‘There is no such thing as a ragtag group.’
As I watched the scene from behind, I clicked my tongue and spoke to the Demon King standing next to me.
“Then from now on, I will follow the strategy explained in advance.”
“I see.”
After receiving permission from the Demon King, I immediately flew high into the sky using flight magic.
Then, the attention of the enemies instantly focused on me.
Since it is an open plain and the weather is clear today, I will be able to see myself very clearly.
I looked down at the soldiers in the midst of fighting and stretched out both hands toward the enemy line.
“Let’s go fancy from the beginning.”
Howl, gale.
Ring out, lightning.
Mana with different properties gathers in the left and right hands.
Then, in response to my magic, dark clouds began to gather in the otherwise sunny sky.
“#@!!%!”
“*^$%@!”
The elves on the ground were talking about something when they saw the weather changing, but they couldn’t hear it well because of the surrounding noise.
Wedge!
At that time, an arrow flew from the ground and tried to pierce my neck, but I had already expected it, so I blocked it with a quick kick and broke the arrow in half.
But perhaps this was just the beginning, as all kinds of sniping magic and arrows started flying from the ground, targeting me in the sky.
Normally in a situation like this, I would stop casting and start with an evasive maneuver, but I had some faith in it.
Coo coo coo!
A pile of dirt on the ground rises into the sky and turns into the shape of a huge palm.
My palm, which blocked all the objects that were aimed at me, soon touched the ground and slowly other body parts began to form.
One of the proprietary magics of Glinda, the earth mage,
It is “Procúrsus gigante.”
The enormous scale of magic that was previously shown at the outpost of the Great Forest showed its majesty this time as well, and the giant golem that was over 30 meters tall naturally made viewers feel intimidated.
Anyway, thanks to Glinda’s cover, I was able to finish casting with peace of mind and sprinkled the completed magic on the ground.
Hepta Spell
“Storm and rage”
Previously, it was used in a reduced range for anti-personnel use in order to subdue Sophia, but it is originally a magic that shines when dealing with 1:many opponents.
As countless thunderbolts began to fall from the dark clouds that had gathered in the sky, the elves, who had opened their eyes and looked like their main camp was about to be robbed, also became impatient, so the magic corps waiting in the rear quickly came forward and struck the barrier.
However, in the world of magic, the difference in hierarchy is absolute.
In order to completely block the 7th level Hepta Spell, a mage who can equally use the Hepta Spell must step forward.
The barrier that the elves used as a group saved them some time, but in the end, they were unable to overcome the difference in hierarchy and the shield was broken, so the wizards who were directly hit by lightning began to fall one by one, screaming.
“The feeling of hitting isn’t that bad.”
As I was looking at the sight from the sky with satisfaction, I heard an unpleasant tearing sound typical of the sonic boom phenomenon.
Quaaaaa!
“Have you finally arrived?”
The one who broke through the giant golem’s barrier and flew straight from the elf army was a white-haired elf mage.
It was a familiar face.
That’s because it was the woman who was assisting a red-haired elf named Akkad by her side.
The woman with wind wrapped all over her body asked, looking at me with interest, asking if she was a wind mage like me.
“Human, which school do you belong to?”
“First of all, they call it the Jangbaek faction.”
“Jangbaekpa?”
“If it’s difficult to call you, you can call it Eternal Snow. Master said it’s a name taken from the birthplace of the school.”
“Hmm, that’s a good name.”
The female elf nodded her head and then asked me.
“As a human and mage, what is your nickname?”
“It’s a storm.”
“I see. By the way, my nickname is Mizar of the Snow Wind.”
“… I’ve been curious about this for a while now. Why do you keep asking the enemy for this information?”
It was so easy to forget that we were in the middle of a battle, that I felt a sense of loss as we exchanged carefree conversations without any hostility.
Then the elf woman, who introduced herself as Mizar, tilted her head and said.
“As a scholar before being a wizard, isn’t it natural to be curious when encountering an unknown life form?”
Looking closely, it seemed like this woman was not treating me as an equal person, but like a mysterious animal.
“Then it wouldn’t be such a bad experience to lose to that unknown life form at least once?”
“I decline that. I have already promised victory to Master Mayer.”
The elf woman cut off my recommendation in a stern tone, and began to gather wind mana in both hands, as if she finally had the will to fight.
Judging by the fact that the surrounding air has begun to cool, the nickname Snow Wind must have come from his usual fighting style.
After fully assessing the situation, I saw that the rest were moving according to plan, and struck first at Mizar, who was caught off guard.
“Sweet storm!”

Sophia couldn’t come to her senses from the endless feast of buff magic.
Did about 5 minutes pass like that?
“It’s all over now.”
The sage is breathing heavily due to depletion of magical power, probably due to using a huge number of magic spells in a short period of time.
Sophia, who was looking at the wise man with a strange look, checked his physical condition and said.
“I understand why Kaldrashu called someone who was working as a maid in the Demon King’s Castle to the battlefield.”
It feels like my overall physical ability has almost doubled in an instant.
If the power of Trinity was added to this, it seemed like he could approach the legendary level of Grand Sword Master.
“Hehe…”
A wise man who is always scolded because he is bad at writing lyrics, and feels embarrassed after hearing someone compliment him for the first time in a long time.
Then, perhaps because he remembered it too late, he hastily added an afterword.
“Ah! By the way, the buff only lasts 30 minutes, so you have to come back to me when the effect wears off!”
“That’s enough.”
Although she now works as Kaldrashu’s exclusive maid, her original occupation was a warrior.
I was able to kill quite a few opponents within the time limit.
Slam! Slam!
Since she was unable to prepare full armor, Sophia wore partial armor over her maid uniform and finally held the divine sword Adria and the protection of Taros, the badge of a hero.
Then, infinite power filled my whole body.
Feeling a sense of omnipotence that she could not get used to no matter how many times she experienced it, Sophia spoke to the wise man.
“The battlefield is dangerous, so please wait here.”
“Well, is that okay?”
When the wise man asked that with a shrinking face, Sophia nodded her head.
“It’s okay since Kaldrashu entrusted your treatment to me.”
With that said, Sophia lifted the tent to go out of her barracks, and as if she had remembered it too late, she turned her head and spoke to the wise man.
“I’ll be back before this buff cools down.”
She was witty in her own way.
***
The warrior is strong.
Although it is a spicy and simple proposition, for those who walk the path of nothingness, there are very few words that touch the heart as much as this proposition.
An unconventional being who can gain strength in one or two years at most, something that some people cannot obtain even if they spend their entire lives.
That was the hero.
Of course, it was inevitable that she would have to become stronger in such a short period of time to kill the Demon King with only a fleeting life, but even among those monsters, Sophia was the owner of the greatest talent of all time.
She taught herself and reached the level of a double master in just two years of study.
Perhaps, if she had been given just a little more time, she wouldn’t have been able to assassinate the Demon King by herself.
However, Sophia even got her hands on the ‘Trinity’, the symbol of her heroism.
Of course, even with her considerable skills, she could not be stopped.
“I never would have thought that such an ambush was hidden in the Demon King’s army.”
Therefore, the one who went to the battlefield was one of the seven members of the Septentrion,
It was Alcor, Mizar’s twin younger brother.
“Are you my opponent this time?”
When Sophia, who defeated 50 Equites single-handedly, said so and aimed the tip of her sword, Alcor said, Kat! He smiled and stretched out his right hand.
Then the ice that shot up from the ground changed into a spear shape and was caught in his hand.
“Okay, I’ll join in this time.”
Dance as much as you want.
