Was Bought by the Demon King Right Before the Ending 25

Chapter 25 – Avalanches

My counterproposal to Dorothea was to set off an artificial avalanche by setting off a huge explosion from the top of the mountain.

She asked if it was a completely unexpected idea and how to implement it, and I introduced the specialty of Patlash, the 5th tier mage I used as a disguise.

“Non-attribute magic?”

“To be precise, it is magic using the artificial element ether.”

I gave a brief outline to Dorothea and Eva in front.

Actually, it wasn’t too difficult.

Using incredibly powerful magic, he caused an avalanche, and the snow that flowed down from the top of the mountain hit the human fortress.

Well, that was the plan.

If it was feasible, of course we would be able to cause great damage, and we had nothing to lose.

I just wanted to give it a try since I came this far.

My plan was immediately adopted as a strategy plan because the general decision maker was here, and I started preparing to use magic in earnest.

Kooooo-

The virtual magic furnace inside the body began to violently suck mana from the air.

In fact, ether is both a man-made element and a natural element.

You might ask what kind of bullshit this is, but it’s because the element called ether itself was created by simply highly compressing mana that hadn’t undergone any conversion process in the body.

Those who believe in the existing theory of the four elements criticized the magic of the five element systems, including ether, as strange magic, but like the national rule of martial arts, the formula of ‘incantation = something you don’t know’ is established, so it is one of the new generation wizards. Did not care about such an evaluation.

The etheric magic I developed myself was quite different in that sense.

In general, ether has a repulsive property with the four existing elements.

So even when mixed with other elements, it only stacked once, and most wizards took it for granted.

But I had a slightly different idea.

If ether can only be mixed with other elements because it repels other elements, isn’t it okay to make magic with only ether?

What was developed like that was the non-attribute explosion magic.

A spell that continuously overlaps pure ether without the intervention of other elements.

The magic completed by simply continuously overlapping high-density artificial elements created within the body created a softly shining white sphere in the sky.

Maybe it’s because it’s quite a distance, but it looks like a basketball size from here.

Dorothea, who was watching the whole process of casting my magic, tilted her head.

“Is nothing happening?”

“Wait a little. I need some supplies.”

Saying so, I handed over the sunglasses and earplugs I had just made through alchemy to Dorothea and Eva.

Eva raised her sunglasses with both hands and asked if the first thing she saw was strange.

“What is this?”

“Ah… Those are things called sunglasses. They are special glasses that block the sun’s rays.”

After hearing my explanation, Dorothea immediately put the sunglasses on his face.

“Ohhh! Awesome! The world looks black!”

I told Dorothea, who was making a fuss like a foreigner new to modern culture, to quickly put on earplugs, and then took my share of sunglasses and earplugs.

Eva, who was behind me, also wore the same full set after seeing what Dorothea and I were doing.

“Then, let’s start soon.”

I poured the mana transformed into the element of fire towards the white sphere that was just floating in the sky.

This is a kind of fuse.

A switch that will detonate a bomb made of ether containing an enormous amount of mana.

Yet-

Aaaaa!

Another sun appeared in the sky over the Vulkan Mountains.

It flickered white, greedily sucking in everything it touched and burning up.

That was just magic that raised its destructive power and functional beauty to the limit.

Dorothea, who watched from beginning to end as the snowy mountain peak touched the tip of the sphere of light collapsed helplessly, exclaimed with a face full of joy.

“Kyahahaha! What is that! It’s hot! I like it!”

She asked in a high-pitched voice, like a child receiving her unexpected gift.

“Patrasch! What’s the name of the magic you just used!”

I answered the question with a shrug.

“My name is Little Boy.”

***

Kurleung!

The ground cries.

With a loud sound like lightning falling to the ground, the ice caps piled up on the top of the mountain began to slowly crumble.

And the snowballs pouring down began to gradually accelerate as they rode the slope.

Koo-goo-goo-goo-goo!

A roaring sound, as if an earthquake had occurred, emanated from all sides.

Snowdrifts weighing thousands of tons are pouring at speeds of over 130 km/h.

Like mud mixed with muddy water on a rainy day, the white torrent that started from the top of the mountain swallowed up the entire Vulkan Mountains.

It is an avalanche of unprecedented scale.

In front of the great Mother Nature’s wrath, humans were mere creatures.

Hunters who had been out for hunting were caught up in it.

Soldiers running in the woods for training were also swept away.

Without knowing anything, the family’s house, which was living a normal life, was swallowed up by a snowdrift.

The result of a single magic, a single explosion was truly beyond imagination.

All trees, buildings, humans, and animals in the path of the avalanche were equally crushed.

The eye itself has a huge mass.

If they were swept away by such things, there was no way that creatures with fragile flesh could survive.

Standing on the top of the mountain, watching the whole scene, I calmly inspected the damage.

‘Part of the southern wall of the fortress has collapsed.’

Originally, it was a wall that would never have been broken.

In order to break down that castle wall reinforced with all sorts of magic, the Demon King’s army would have had to spend a lot of time and effort.

However, in front of the huge physical force of avalanche, no matter how strong the castle wall was, there was no ability to withstand it.

Since it was first built, a hole has finally been made in the walls of the fortress, which have not been broken once in over a hundred years.

This was nothing short of a golden opportunity.

As if I wasn’t the only one who thought so, Dorothea, with one foot resting on a rock and a pair of sunglasses tucked over her nose, muttered something very amusing.

“If I do this well, I’ll get through it?”

Her lieutenant, Eva, was of the same opinion.

“Looking at the scale of the damage, it is not something that can be remedied in a day or two.

“In addition, to regain the original level of defense, we will need the help of many wizards.”

Originally, it was the time to temporarily withdraw troops in preparation for next year.

However, this will change the story a bit.

‘Maybe I can win.’

You get caught up in that thought.

It wasn’t even a possibility at all.

The opponent who would normally have the tremendous advantage of a strong castle wall temporarily lost that advantage.

It is common knowledge that, in general, to capture a castle, the attacking side must prepare three times as many troops as the defending side.

However, there was no way that demons, who reproduced slower than humans, could satisfy those conditions, and this incident overturned that premise from the beginning.

When the positions of the attacking and defending sides are equal, a simple killing competition begins.

It’s wild nature for the stronger to survive.

We went straight down that road.

Maybe now was the time to move quickly.

Strike first before they prepare.

This is the basis of Seongdonggyeokseo.

***

The bald, Kaiser-bearded middle-aged man, called the Marshal of Hamburg by those around him, salivated at the sight before him.

An abnormal phenomenon that suddenly appeared in the sky.

As if another sun had risen, spheres of impossibly dazzling light filled the blue sky.

Those who looked directly at the light went blind temporarily, and those who did not suffered hearing loss due to the roar that followed.

Even the Hamburg Marshal sitting here saw the dazzling light coming through the window while he was working at his official residence, and was still suffering from tinnitus from the unbelievable roar he heard the moment he got up from his chair.

Beep beep—-

‘I’m going to die.’

It’s been quite a while since the anomaly occurred, but it still feels deafening.

The Marshal of Hamburg looked down at the walls, which were at least in good condition, thinking that he would have to see a doctor when the church’s priest arrived at the fortress tomorrow.

“Hey! Watch out!”

“There are people here too!”

“Quickly bring me a stretcher!”

It is literally a mess.

The anomaly itself, which occurred in the sky dozens of kilometers above, did no damage to them, but the avalanche that followed swept away everything east of the Vulkan Mountains.

It is the first large-scale avalanche he has ever seen, even for those who have lived here for 40 years since he was born.

Fortunately, the village where his territories live was farther back than the fortress, so he did not suffer much damage, but the soldiers who periodically went to the forest in front of it for physical training, the hunters who went hunting, and the few families who built houses with permission All buried under the white snow.

‘Does it have about three hours before the sun goes down?’

At night, the temperature in the Vulkan Mountains gets lower.

Perhaps even if there were survivors who miraculously survived, they would soon freeze to death in the cold snow if they had no means of starting a fire.

I really wanted to find their corpses, but after tonight there was no more time to waste searching for survivors.

It was obvious that the evil demons would come after smelling the corpses.

Before that, he had to rebuild the walls that had been broken beforehand and prepare for the enemy invasion.

He couldn’t bear the disgrace of having the kingdom’s shield, which had never been pierced in over a hundred years, be pierced in his own line.

‘I miss you more today. Rachel.’

Remembering the face of the clever eldest daughter who had followed the hero, the Marquis turned his back.
