Chapter 349 – Wizards of Nygard #1

Although the thunderbolt has been eliminated, the war is not yet over.
Still on the ground, the Demon King’s army was endlessly pushing toward the castle wall.
Although they lost their corps commander, the demon worshipers did not give up on attacking Yoensu.

“Don’t run away!”
“I will avenge Hakon-nim!”

If it was an ordinary army, the moment the commander died in front of his eyes, his morale would have fallen and he would have collapsed.
However, the fanatical devil worshipers rather burned with a vengeful spirit.

‘That means we have to annihilate all of them.’

My physical condition was limited due to the battle with Thunder Emperor, but I couldn’t escape beyond the wall alone.
Earlier, James and Delia were both shot down by Mjolnir’s current.
The place where the two crashed was in the middle of the demon army.

Even if it was James, he couldn’t leave Delia behind.

As I scanned the battlefield, I saw James and Delia lying on the ground.
James was in a state of fainting, and Delia, who was a half-elf and had high magic resistance, was at least awake.

“O wall of fire!”

Delia built a wall of flame to defeat the approaching demon lords.
Magic is blocking the approach of the Demon King, but there was a limit in front of the endlessly pouring amount.

I also have to protect the magic tower lord who has fallen along with me.
Delia was struggling alone.

‘I don’t think I can last long.’

Because of the battle with the Thunder Emperor, Delia’s magical power must also be showing her bottom.
If the blazing flame barrier disappears, he will be killed by the Demon King’s army.

During that time, as we rolled around day and night together in the laboratory, the way I saw Delia changed considerably.

It means he fell in love with that silver-haired half-elf.
I even gave her a handkerchief with her heart in it, telling her not to die, but I can’t help but feel attached to it, right?

She said she would like to talk to me in a friendly way whenever she visits the lab.

“Delia!”

I folded my wings and quickly descended to where Delia was.
Delia looked at me landing around her and struggled to open her mouth.

“Brother! How’s the concussion?”
“I got rid of it. It’s thanks to you and the mage lord cooperating.”
“It’s all good… If the thunderbolt died, the Wiseman family would have suffered enormous damage.”

The Thunder Emperor Haakon was said to be the master’s successor.
It was a great achievement, as he had killed the heir who would inherit the family.
It would be better if we could retrieve Mjolnir that had fallen to the ground.

“I-I’m at my limit now oppa.”

Delia’s magical energy was consumed and her flame barrier dissipated.
The demon worshipers who were waiting beyond the fire rushed towards us like crazy.

“There are enemies who killed the Thunder Emperor!”
“Kill them all!”

I emitted high-temperature steam in all directions and melted the running demon worshipers.
If there was one that penetrated the steam, I swung the quarter staff and froze it with freezing magic.

Water attribute magic alone is not enough!

In order to survive in a place full of enemies on all sides, he had to use great magic with all his might.
Summons ego drums to intercept the enemies, and created a storm beyond the steam with high-output telekinesis.

“Huh…”

As time went by, her magical powers diminished, making her head dizzy.
As he clenched his teeth and endured, the crowd of Demon Kings began to slowly hesitate.
The demon king’s corpses piled up around me, and they seemed to sense that something was wrong.

“Um, is that horned dreamer a monster…?”
“My countrymen have melted… Their faces have melted!”

The magic of spraying high-temperature steam had a definite effect on the battlefield.
As the enemies touched by the steam melted away screaming in pain, the fear spread to the other Demon Lords.

“Huh, uh uh uh…”

Even fanatics cannot endure the pain of their entire body melting in real time.
It was such a pain that even a devout priest would fall.

“Delia, hug me.”
“Oh, you want a hug?”
“I’ll fly up like this and return to the citadel.”

I lifted Delia from her side and held her in her arms.
Now that he had slaughtered the demon lords around him, this was his chance to fly safely.

“Huh…!”
“Why?”
“Oh, it’s nothing. I was surprised that my brother suddenly hugged me.”

With the increased strength from wearing the OPG, I was able to lift the small Delia lightly.
Delia, held in my arms, struggled for a while, but soon calmed down.

“Ugh…”

Her cheeks turned red from embarrassment.
The closer she hugged her, the more red her face became.

“I-it’s nice if my brother hugs me…! What should the magic tower owner do? I can’t just leave it like this.”
“You can use telekinesis to float it up and take it with you.”

There was no law that holding Delia in her arms prevented him from taking James.
You can use high-output telekinesis to float James up and fly to the castle together.
The reason he didn’t bother holding Delia was because she was more important to him than James.
Wouldn’t it be better to keep her close to her?

“We’re going to take off. Watch what you say, you might bite your tongue.”

I hugged Delia and lifted James up with her telekinetic powers and flew towards the sky.
While flapping its wings, it mobilized telekinesis to fly, so the speed was no joke.

“The man who killed Haakon is running away! Don’t miss it!”

The officers of the Demon King’s army shouted as they watched us rise into the sky.
Arrows and magic projectiles flew towards me in a parabolic arc.
But it couldn’t stop my flight.

“Spellbooks with wisdom, cover me.”

The ego drums flying around cast a protective spell on me.
Countless attacks flying towards the sky were blocked by protective magic and could not strike us.

I made sure Delia wasn’t hurt by the rapid flight.

“Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?”
“Gwa, gwa, it’s okay! My heart is beating a little too much, but…”
“Why is my heart beating? Where does it hurt?”
“…It’s because of my brother!”

Delia was staring at me with her hand on her own chest.

Throbbing.

I could hear the sound of her heart beating in my ears.
As long as you’re not sick, it doesn’t matter.

―Catch that horned dreamer!
―For the descendants of Laufei!

The one-eyed giants close to the wall turned around and tried to catch me.
The moment the giants’ clubs were swung, I raised my staff and activated the freezing magic.

“Snowstorm!”

A hurricane-like blizzard erupted from the tip of the staff.
The clubs of the giants flying towards us were deflected by the blizzard.

I flew leisurely into the gap between the giants and escaped their encirclement.
Belatedly, the giants swung their fists, but they couldn’t keep up with my flight speed.

“Hey brother Luke…”

As we were flying towards the wall, Delia spoke to her.

“Joe, can you hug me a little tighter?
“However much.”

At Delia’s request, he pulled her body closer.
The moment I got close to my body, Delia let out a smile with a happy expression on anyone’s eyes.

It was clear in her eyes that she was happy, but let’s pretend she didn’t know.
I think you’ll get angry if I point it out.

After a while we arrived safely on top of the wall where the Northerners were.
I put down the magic tower lord brought by telekinesis, but Delia didn’t want to leave me right away.
I was in my arms, and when Rebecca and Kate approached, I came down while noticing.

“Luke! I’m glad you came back safely.”
“What is that half-elf kid who was being held by the dreamer? I’m suddenly envious.”
“I’m not a kid! That, and I’ve worked hard, but my brother can hug me!”
“Huh? If you’re having a hard time, do you have to be hugged by the dreamer? Whoever sees you will know you’re dating.”
“Sah, dating…!”

Delia was furious at Kate’s provocation, but not when they were fighting each other.
There was still a Demon King’s army left outside the castle, so they had to be annihilated.
Mjolnir, which fell with the body of the Thunder Emperor, must also be retrieved.

‘It’s still teeming with devil worshipers and monsters.’

It was a man-in-the-middle tactic for the Demon King’s army, which still had a large number of people throwing up.
Of course, because the thunderbolt is dead, they can’t produce enough firepower to destroy the fort.

Mjolnir, which had fallen to the ground, was an object that only those with the blood of God could handle it.
I heard that even a Wiseman like me can’t just use it, but he has to go through a long period of training to deal with Mjolnir’s brain power.

In this war, it was impossible for Mjolnir to be used again by the demon lord’s army.
If you keep holding on, victory will come someday.

The siege, which began in the morning, continued until nightfall.
It was when the sun set and the sky turned red.

Reinforcements awaited on the plains outside the castle appeared.
It was a long distance, but it was clear what the identity of the reinforcements was.
All of them had thick quarterstaffs in their hands.

“Lu, rune mages! Ninggard has arrived!”
“The Archmage is here to save us!”

Chief Lawrence.
The great wizard with a fluttering white beard stood at the forefront of the rune mages.
The moment I checked Lawrence’s figure with my own two eyes, my tension was relieved.
Indeed, reinforcements from Ninggard had come to rescue Joensu.

The rune mages that appeared on the battlefield were all cavalrymen on horseback.

Chuck!

The moment Lawrence raised her arms, the rune mages lifted their quarter staffs horizontally in unison.
I couldn’t quite figure out what they were trying to do.

Are you planning to fire a bombardment with magic from a distance together?

“That’s our rune mage’s only tactic. I got a feeling when I saw it.”
“Rune mage tactics…? Is there such a thing?”

Delia spoke to me with her confident expression.
Since she was the daughter of the head of the temple, she must be familiar with Ninggard’s tactics.

“Staff charging! I’m talking about the rune mage cavalry’s charge. As you know, rune magic gets stronger in proportion to the amount of impact.”

Staff charging-!

It wasn’t lance charging, it was an unheard of tactic, but if it was a rune mage, it would make sense.
How powerful rune magic would be activated if you stabbed the quarter staff with the speed of riding a horse?

It sounded absurd to others, but to me, who understood the principles of rune magic, it was a terrifying charge!

“For the boss!”

The rune mage cavalry charged towards the Demon King’s army while bursting into loud cheers.
At the vanguard of the cavalry, Archmage Lawrence charged with a quarterstaff.

“What, what are these guys?! They look like wizards, but why are they charging!”
“I don’t know! I must be crazy!”

The Northern soldiers who did not know much about rune magic were taken aback.
However, the moment the rune mage cavalrymen collided with the Demon King’s army, a change occurred.
The true power of rune magic that competes with mass and speed was demonstrated.

Quaang!

Destructive elemental magic spewed out from the quarter staff of the rune mages.
Elements such as fire, water, earth, and wind were emitted like lasers, driving the demon army to death.

It is overwhelming power!

Due to the performance of the rune mage cavalry, the siege ended in victory.

The demon army was annihilated, leaving only corpses behind the walls of Yoensu.
The devil worshipers, the brainwashed monsters, and the one-eyed giants all died.

It was worthwhile to grit your teeth and wait for reinforcements.
