Chapter 414 – Attacking the Floating Fortress

Chapter 414 Attacking the Aerial Fortress

That time.

Bang! Quaang!

“Block, block!”

Inside the aerial fortress, ‘Sword of Adim’.
This fortress, named after Archangel Adim, the general whom Ahumaz, the lord of the sky, hated the most, was attacked by two angels in high-leg white leotards.

Bang!

“Stop that red-haired madman!”

The knights of Catherine’s army rushing in.
All of them are talented.
At least centurion level or higher.
The battalion commander level is also full.
Even though it was a place where melee forces were unnecessary, it was a technically sensitive place, so each faction placed carefully selected articles.
Knights Templar, Alberic’s Storm Troopers, Marquis John’s Bodyguard, etc.
Ironically, they, who were deployed to keep each other in check, banded together against the intrepid intruder.

Chukak! Spaw!

“Mom!”

“Don’t waste your magic, stick behind me, my queen!”

Rumika hides Stella behind her back.

‘Ugh, did those three times more full?’

For some reason, it feels like my stomach is rumbling due to inertia, so I don’t like it.
Rumika unknowingly wraps her stomach with one hand.

“””Plasma Slash!”””

Kwak Kwah Kwah… !

Pillars of light rising from the ground.
I’m used to it now

‘Dad mom.
Watch me.
A daughter who never listens to her father and marries her teacher, but she will live happily ever after.
What if there was some blood mixed in?
Me and my brother, we really like each other.’

Poof!

Rumika undid the long cloth in her hand.
A double-edged longsword in her hand.
A sword that is entirely black and the center of the blade glows red like charcoal.

‘I’ll definitely win with my father’s sword.’

The sword of annihilation hell, the favorite sword of the former demon lord.

[Daughter.
After inheriting the authority of fire someday, you too will be able to draw out the true power of this sword.
Until then, do your best in training.]

‘I will definitely do it!’

“Jinmucheonji rupture!”

Goong!

He held it upside down and plunged the knife into the floor.

Softly… Damn!!

The floor cracks in the shape of an X, and sparks and explosions arise from the cracks as if swallowing a plasma slash!

So-and-so… !

“Ah!”

“Keugh!”

“Cheuk!”

Courage! Quadang!

Enemy knights falling out while spraying blood.
It’s literally a hundred per day.
No one dares to stand in front of Rumika’s sword!

“I do not have time!
Break through right away!”

“Yes!”

Way to the engine room.
It flutters through the narrow hallway with its wings.

“What floor is it now?!”

“The ninth floor underground!
The 10th basement floor is the engine room!”

There is a reason why the air fortress Adim’s sword exists even in the land below the fortress.
As you can see from the stone pillars embedded in the middle of the site, the lower part is actually an artificial building constructed based on celestial technology.
It’s just dirt on the outside, it’s not just a lump of dirt, it’s an underground fortress.
So, the engine room is located in the basement.

Flutter, Flutter!

It flies so fast

Coo-kung-!

“What?!”

“I don’t know!
Just fly!”

Stella flinched and looked up at the ceiling.
Rumika grabs her wrist.

Kuddudd… Kukkoom!

“Kyaaak?!”

“Quit!”

The ceiling is broken,

Coo kung!

“Hey, I met you again pretty girls.”

Alberic holding the Angelic Alliance blocked the front and landed.
He blocked the way to the engine room.
This time, in addition to the Angelic Alliance, he appeared wearing the goddess’s knight armor.

“Should I pay off the debt I owed last time?”

It’s like that.

“Who would say!
Didn’t you really harm Obama and commit such a shameless act against her sister, and not only start a futile war and pursue private interests?!
Yes man! Aren’t you afraid of the white sun!
Today I will kill you, I will spit on that corpse!”

Rumika blocked Stella with her left arm.

Gulp.

An unavoidable tension.

“Queen.
Find a detour and go to the engine room.”

“Yes?! We must fight together!
If you assist with teleportation… !”

“The hallways are narrow, and there is no time.
I will take care of that person.”

Pudeuk.

“Come on.”

“… Good luck.”

Flutter!

“Where!”

Shukak!

Damn!

In an instant, combined with jumping and flashing, Alberic appears above Stella’s head and wields the Celestial Sword.
Rumika blocks the transparent holy sword with the sword of annihilation that looks like it was made by solidifying flowing lava.

“Song!”

Flutter, Flutter!

“… Under.
I’m losing my temper
Well, let’s go in turn.
By the way, I don’t care if I’m married?”

“Know.
Having an affair with the former Queen Grace.
You always take the lead in doing dirty things.”

“… What do you mean?
It’s romance.”

“That way, no one will always be by your side.
Jim’s spouse did not stop loving her uprightly even in the face of betrayal and trials.
Your filthy humanity is what gathers filthy people to your side.
Catherine, Bellondel, Philip…
It is as natural as flies on rotten fruit.”

Rumika’s cold provocation, sword-to-sword.
After Alberic was forcibly summoned here, he touched a painful wound that he always worried about.
Alberic’s face contorted with bitter grief and anger.

“At the end of the fourth year, you will have to take responsibility.
If you win, I’ll crush that boat!”

“Your snout is hanging.
I guess Jim was right!”

Cacan! Visor! Damn—!

Hallway leading to the engine room.
The sound of clashing knives echoed here and there.

***

“Hey, heck!”

Flutter, Flutter!

Stella evades the hallway blocked by Alberic and flies through another hallway.
All Valkyrie armor is good, but when transforming, it consumes a lot of mana, and those with low physical abilities consume their eyesight at too fast speed, so their eyes get tired.

“The map… Here!
Back here… !”

There can’t be only one way to the engine room!
And the moment you turn around.

“Catch it!
The fake queen is here!”

“It’s here!”

“!!!”

Dada dot!

“Kuu… !
Clairvoyance!”

Look beyond the hallway with clairvoyance magic,

Shush!

Instant movement.
If you don’t know what’s on the other side of the wall, you might get stuck in an object.

“Hey, here, to the stairs!”

Narrow.
You have to run.

Tak-tak-tak!

Avoid the battle as much as possible many times.
The engine room that arrived.

“This… A magic attribute response engine?”

The red orb on Rumica’s shoulder, or the pink orb on Stella’s shoulder now, was originally a fist-sized, transparent magic response engine.
The magic reaction engine in the engine room of Adim’s sword felt like something was hanging from transparent marbles the size of a house.

Flutter, Flutter!

I flew and got closer, now I know.

“Oops—!”

Hanging glass bottles.
In a preservative… Is the pituitary gland
As Sister Agnes had delivered to Kamyu, the words that he extracted her mana until her brain burned.
It was a fact, not a metaphor.

“Whoops, whoops, whoops, whoops, whoops…
Quickly, the joint… !”

Crunches! Clap!

Three transparent marbles the size of a house suspended from the ceiling with chains.

“Kuu, why is it so hard… !”

Despite the strength augmented by the Valkyrie Armor, it is hard to break the main chain.

Hard!

A chain is strong against pulling force, but weak against twisting force.
Trust the Valkyrie Armor and get an iron rod and twist it.

Tangang!

One by one the chains were broken.
Let’s barely cut off several,

Whoo!

Falling down.

Gee-ing!

Open the dimensional door and transmit.
Steal the engine.
Yes.
From the beginning, it was intended to capture, not destroy.

“Whoa, one.
Then…”

Wiping the sweat from my forehead, I stare at the next engine.

Tak-tak-tak!

“There!”

“… !”

Got caught
There is no time.
Stella is a person whose direct combat power is close to zero.

‘What can I do?
Escape? No.
The Demon King is holding on.
Attack? Reinforcements will come during the fight.
Then one answer…’

“Dimension door!”

Gee-ing!

Gee-ing!

Two portals open at once.
Level up in the past.
Magical power amplified by Valkyrie Armor.
The magic of the archmage Rousseau I recently witnessed, Mass teleport.
The strength I practiced with my husband every evening.
A new level of dimensional magic seen there!

‘It’s not like Mr. Rousseau did it, but if he did it, I can do something similar!’

Creates 2 portals at once on the Magic Reaction Engine.
And the generated portal… Move down and swallow the engine!

‘If I can’t move a stationary object in the direction of gravity, I can move the portal in the direction of gravity!’

It’s not that nobody thought of it.
I couldn’t because I couldn’t.
People and objects move everywhere, but the door doesn’t move.
And so far Stella has also failed

Deuk deuk… !

There’s no way the dimensional gate has cutting power, and the chain that carries the engine endures with a strange sound.
It is forcibly transmitted beyond the dimension, and transmitted again.

Tak tok tok!

“Besieged!
If you catch that girl, it’s a second-class special promotion!”

Aaaaa!!!

Knights of battalion commander level power running terrifyingly.

“No time, please… !”

Even now, outside, the castle is being attacked by arrows and rocks raining down on the walls of Adim’s sword, and right upstairs, Rumika is fighting Alberic at the risk of her life and baby.

‘As the days go by, the dissolution is approaching, Demon King, fighting my enemy!
I’ll do it too… !’

Deaf deuk… !

Pacan!

The dimensional door greedily puts even the chain into the dimensional door,

Gee-ing!

Gee-ing!

Two portals each open an engine… Swallowed!

Ugh…

When the engine is gone,

Cood deed deed… !

A roar echoed, and Adim’s sword tilted.

What a profit… !

The floor had a steep slope.

“Ughhh?!”

“Ahh!”

Cudangtang!!

Thanks to this, the knights of Catherine’s army, who were aiming for Stella, lose their balance and roll on the floor.
A flying fortress without an engine will inevitably fall.

“I have to go and save the Demon King!”

However, during the fall, Lumica’s location coordinates keep changing.
If you teleport incorrectly, it will lead to a big accident!

“Clairvoyance!”

Hwaaak!

As Stella closed her eyes, the scene of Rumika fighting to the death caught her eye.
Losing their balance, the two kicked the walls and ceiling and clashed their swords with all their might.
Meanwhile, Rumika held her stomach with her left hand and swung the sword with her right hand.
She bit her lower lip tightly.
Then we see Alberic wielding the Celestial Sword with both hands.
One-handed vs two-handed swordsmanship.
A tough fight, of course.

Whoop… !

Breathe in, teleport.

‘Coordinates are to predict!’

Shush!

Dig!

“Eww?!”

Thankfully, it appeared under the ceiling right behind Lumica.
Even if the coordinates were calculated just a little bit wrong, the stone would have gotten stuck in the ceiling and entered the intestines!

“Demon King!”

Since the magic engine disappeared, the shield also disappeared.

“Where!”

Whoo!

Shush!

Stella, who held Lumika’s hand by a short distance, teleported out of Adim’s sword.

“Damn it!”

Kuddudd… !

With the sound of Alberic’s teeth, the floating fortress crashes.

Cuckoo Cuckoo!!!

***

“Why is the messenger sent to Alberic still not returning?!”

“Maybe… I think you might be ignoring it.”

“Maybe.”

Marquis John thought hard, and brushed his amber hair.

“Then… Ride a messenger on the griffon and send it to Adim’s sword.
Get away from the enemy’s castle right now, and go over the mud.
I will send our troops into the air fortress.”

“Yes!”

‘The space is small, but it can be transported continuously using the piston method.
Seeing rescuers raises morale!
After that, you can transport your troops directly from the air fortress to the enemy’s castle and fortress.
If I can send my close combat troops directly to each fort, my allies can fight on bare ground!’

It made sense.
Until the aerial fortress crashed.

Coo kung… !

“?!
Marquis, look over there!
Adim’s sword… !”

Kurur…

“Chu, it’s going down!”

Cuckoo-!

“Adim’s sword has crashed next to the enemy’s castle!”

“Fortunately, the altitude isn’t high, so it doesn’t seem like a big shock…”

Aaaaa!

The Demon King’s army would have wanted to do something about the fallen aerial fortress, but it was absurd to conduct a siege while stepping on mud.
Even though Adim’s sword landed on the plain, it was located higher than the demon king’s castle.
That’s also true, because the part of the land under the fortress is very thick.
Still looking down on the castle from above.

‘Should I consider putting in reserve forces?
There are still rear troops on this side of the river.
Sequential input is inefficient… Yes, building a pontoon bridge again.
The flow has slowed down.’

“Hello… Hmm?”

Flutter, Flutter!

“Prismatic Dragon…
Wasn’t he dead?”

Flutter, koo-ung!

Chin.

Alberic came riding the Prismatic Dragon before he knew it.

“Look.
How many times have I sent a messenger…”

“Ah, I didn’t know because I went to protect the floating fortress.
Anyway, as you can see, it crashed.”

“…”

“Don’t look at me like that, Commander.
Did I try my best to protect it?
If you hadn’t gone all the way to me, you would have fallen earlier?”

Pudeuk.

“Yeah man… !”

Marquis John gnashed his teeth and opened his mouth, but Alberic raised his hand to stop him.

“For a moment.
Right now our troops are dying in the mud.
Is there a solution?”

‘Let’s be patient a little longer.’

The Marquis calmed his bubbling stomach and opened his mouth.
He had seen so many rude people in his lifetime.
One more time to be patient and pick up on your weaknesses. Something you can do anytime.

“I will build a pontoon bridge to secure a retreat, and defeat the enemies individually with dragon air support.”

“No no.
My dragon was injured 2 times, and this dragon can never die even if it lives.”

Alberic did not yield a word to Marquis John’s remarks.
One of Marquis John’s adjutants, impatient, stepped forward.

“Warrior!
No matter how much it is a state letter, what kind of nonsense is that in front of the Commander?!
Operation authority is held by His Excellency Commander!”

“So what?
The dragon made a contract with me.
It’s not like you’re the commander.”

“Who do you think took care of the obese lizards that eat 20 cows a day?!”

“Hey, lieutenant.
Be patient, be patient.”

Marquis John sat in his chair and pretended to stop, inciting him further.

“Hey, if I say more, will you really hit me?
That’s why I’m here to save you.”

“””?”””

“See our troops huddled on the riverside dunes right now?
If left alone, it’s guaranteed to be massacred.
Even if you rush to make a pontoon bridge now, it will be too late.”

“””!!!”””

“This charter, I turn it upside down.
So do as I say.”

“What?”

“Ruler.”

Alberic pushed out the wooden box he had brought to Marquis John.

“Listen carefully from now on.”

Alberic’s cruel smile.
It is unknown whether it is smiling or showing teeth.
Explanation that follows.

“” “That, that… !”””

Marquis John and his lieutenants were appalled at Alberic’s strategy.

“So what.
Won’t you?”

“””…”””

“Are you going to be defeated like this?
Or will you go down in history by winning as I said?”

“This… It will go down in history in a different way.”

“Then you died miserably here~
Your estate will soon be trampled on.”

“… “

Marquis John took the wooden box with his trembling hands… Received.

“Marquis!”

“Commander!”

“Dismissal!”

Despite the cries of his adjutants and vassals, the Marquis continued the operation… I had no choice but to accept it.
