Chapter 266 – I’m Going to See You Now (3)

Tadat.

Iona running lightly over the building.

It was a situation where Iona was carrying all of her party by herself, but… She doesn’t look that hard because her floatation magic has reduced her weight.

As she left her body to Iona, she glanced down.

A roaring sound came from beneath her feet and a thick cloud of dust rose. It was the aftermath of the monsters rampaging around the area where we were a little while ago.

He probably knows there’s an intruder, but he’s angry because he can’t find it.

Let’s see… Three ogres, two minotaurs, two cyclops, and one orc variant?

Orc variants may be small in size, but might rival ogres in strength. The crown-like horns sprouting from the top of his head are the hallmark of the Orc King.

Then, in just a short time, only 8 large monsters have gathered.

With the support of Iris, we could defeat 2 or 3 of them, but it must have been a little burdensome to defeat the rest by ourselves.

It’s not impossible, but it’s burdensome that I’m consuming the strength to use against monsters and cultists who will come after hearing a bigger commotion.

Hmm. Also, this was the correct answer.

She nodded inwardly and looked straight ahead.

Daejeon, which is rapidly approaching. It was a time when she was slightly excited at the thought of getting closer to Helena.

“Yes? That…”

After slowing her down little by little, Iona landed on the roof of a building that was in good shape. But no one urged Iona like that.

A veil that surrounded the barrier of the Great War. The red energy suddenly swelled up and began to rise rapidly.

“I’ll turn.”

The original purpose was to enter the ceremonial scene by jumping into the upper part not yet covered by the veil.

But somehow, the speed of consciousness suddenly sped up.

It’s still enough to jump over, but…

“Did you all notice? If I fail today, I don’t think there will be another chance.”

“That’s right. Once I found the location of the altar. Couldn’t the stealth function have been canceled by accelerating consciousness?”

“Ah, that’s nice. Can I get in right away?”

“Huh. But it’s their territory down there, right? It’s hard to stay invisible like now! So…”

“If the invisibility is going to be released anyway, you’re telling me to prepare a big one in advance, right?”

“That’s right! If this was a test, I would have given it 100 points!”

Ohna, who smiled and stroked my hair. At the touch of her hand, her impatient heart calmed down.

… Are you so pissed off?

He smiled and said to the hardened paladins.

“How is it? I plan to prepare a big one and hit it right away the moment Professor Iona takes it away.”

“All right.”
“O righteous light, watch over us.”
“As you will.”
“Now I can deal with cultists instead of monsters!”

The answers were all different, but the meaning was the same.

Holy power concentrated on each weapon. The invisibility, which could be easily undone with the slightest irritation, was ripped from the inside.

It seemed to be stained with the blood of the enemies, but not tired, with a lot of spirit.

All of them are not as good as me, but it must be because they are still recovering with the protection of the sun god.

I also raised my mana with the thought that I couldn’t lose.

Ugh-

A group of mana responds to my will and starts pouring in.

As I gained mana affinity, my magical skills grew dramatically.

… To the point where I can somehow imitate what has been considered impossible until now.

“Come. A small ruin.”

A huge boulder appears at the end of the staff. Not an ordinary rock, but a rock that burns itself.

It’s not on fire on the outside. The rock itself is burning. As if it had become an ore made of flame.

“This is a punishment placed in human hands.”

The existing element combination was to divide one element into essence and form and combine the two as desired.

For example, rocks that flow like water or lightning that scatters like wind.

However, this is a forcible attachment of two properties that do not mix in the end, relying on elemental affinity and mana management.

If you put water and oil in a bottle and shake it, it looks like they mix, but in reality they are just broken into small pieces.

I guess that’s what it feels like.

Of course, there are limitations to this approach. So, in order to move on to the next level, we have to find a way to overcome it…

Fortunately, I had a good training material called Iris.

It is divided into essence and form and goes beyond choosing one by one according to taste, mixing the two essences to create one.

Not fire as hard as a rock, but magic that is both fire and rock.

It seems like a pun, and it seems like a minor difference, but this must be the next step in combining elements.

If you simply mix intermediate magic, the result will be better because the ingredients are better.

This is more like a process that evolves and results become stronger as well.

To put it simply, increasing the air gap magnification… !

“For now, wait for the right time, and grow your strength in my hands.”

Lastly, I added a holding and charging spell, overcharged my magic power, and looked at Iona.

I was quite surprised, so I opened my eyes wide and asked.

“That one. Can you keep up even if you move hard?”

“I don’t know anything else, but I am confident in one moving casting.”

“I’m glad. I’m going to shake a lot from now on.”

Iona also seemed to have completed her own preparations in the meantime, and her black red air flowed from her whole body.

In the process of giving her full strength, the floating magic was released, so I was a little worried… It would be fine if all that much mana was channeled into strengthening the body.

Because the basic specs of vampires themselves are considerable.

This time, I changed the formation a bit and wrapped my arms around Iona’s waist, and the other paladins lined up behind me and grabbed her waist.

And even then, Iona twisted her own magic and connected them together like a rope.

It’s like playing with trains, but… As much as the floating magic disappeared, the recoil on this side would be stronger, so there was no choice. If you make a mistake, it will bounce you far away.

That’s how everyone prepares their own shot with one hand, and Io and I focus her mana on her legs for a while.

Iona, who had lowered her posture, opened her mouth in a low voice.

“I’ll go.”

Momentary silence. And the explosive acceleration that followed.

Quaang!

I could hear the sound of the building I had been standing on a moment ago collapsing just by the reaction of the leap, but now I couldn’t afford to pay attention.

In a matter of seconds, the view rose to a height where you could look down on the entire Solaris. Instead, Iona’s eyes were fixed on one spot, with the previous barrier and her tent all under her feet.

Eyes that sharpen slightly. At the same time, Iona kicked her in the air. More precisely, a wall of magical power created in the air.

Phut!

Not once, but several times. Kick it several times

Phut! Phut! Phut!

If someone else saw her falling in a zigzag while shedding her energy, wouldn’t it have looked like a red-black thunderbolt?

If so, where did Iona, who became lightning, fall?

Tell me what to do Of course, in front of the altar where the ceremony was in progress.

She is about to fall completely to the floor. It’s a bit early, but I released the magic I was holding on to at once.

“Little Meteor!”

A flaming rock shot straight at the altar. Of course, it’s not comparable to the actual Meteor belonging to great magic…

When the speed at which Iona fell and the speed at which her magic flew were combined, she was more powerful than expected.

Wow!

The translucent force field protecting the top of the altar is shattered in one shot. But maybe because of that, the trajectory is slightly different?

Even after destroying the force field, the remaining magic was lodged in the man’s arm during the ceremony instead of the altar.

“Quaaaaagh!”

Was it as solid as its rugged exterior, to the point where you couldn’t tell if it was a human or an orc?

Even with that kind of shock, all she had was one arm broken…

However, the blasphemous mantra he had been reciting a moment ago had ceased. With just one shot, consciousness ceased.

I feel a little bewildered. It was probably the result of being able to add Iona’s falling acceleration.

However, it is still too early for her to rejoice. It’s just a prelude to announcing the battle we just fought.

Right before reaching the bottom of her body, Iona stretches her dark red energy toward her party.

I wondered what to do with her fall damage, but did she just want to pay for it all with Blood Shift?

Cooong!

There was no pain rising from her feet, even as the massive impact smashed her to the ground.

Iona, who received all this recoil alone, seems to be unable to move for a while because she is trying to relieve her shock…

Here she is, me and io, and there are 4 other people besides me.

As if they had been waiting, the paladins came out from behind.

It was a light step, as if it did not feel the weight of thick armor and huge heavy weapons.

Even the divine power in her weapon was not light.

The one-armed fellow, realizing what we were aiming for, exclaimed urgently.

“Altar! Guard the altar!”

“Do you think that will happen!”
“I’ll cut you down, cultist!”

A white flash of light surges and flies toward the altar. The followers of the reckless roar hurriedly throw their bodies to block it.

Quaang!

They are the ones who have received the protection of the evil god and have muscles stronger than steel… Was it too much to take in the power of the Paladins without proper preparation?

When I closed my eyes for a moment from the explosion of divine power, what I saw were half-corpses with their whole bodies in tatters.

It seems like they are protecting the altar and somehow connecting with the lifeline… That’s it.

The only one I can fight is the one who got hit by me and broke his arm while presiding over the ceremony.

Even the face of the guy distorted by anger is quite familiar.

Unbreakable Jeff.

He’s the Archbishop of the Reckless Roar, but if you don’t defeat him in advance, he’ll reappear later as a Cardinal.

Perhaps this mission was his promotion mission.

Although he possesses powers beyond the level of an archbishop, he does not reach the level of a cardinal, and is a guy whose body is only very hard now that he has not become a cardinal.

In other words, it was said that it was not enough to block the blow of Iona, who had just gathered herself.

The moment I relaxed for a moment at the thought that the operation was a success. The boy’s eyes, which had been shining with anger, regained their composure in an instant.

A reckless follower of the roar would never have. I surrendered to my intuition and forcibly raised his mana.

As if I wasn’t the only one who felt something ominous, Iona also hurriedly threw the prepared magic.

“Thunderbolt!”
“Bloody Thorn Spear!”

Dismissed!
Pug.

Jeff’s relatively fragile intestines were seared with electricity, and his throat was strangled with a bloody skewer.

But is it because of his tenacious vitality like his nickname? Jeff shouted in a high-pitched voice while biting into a bubble of blood.

“Radish… Roar Mohan! Hear my final roar!!”

Then Jeff pulls out his own heart with his normal hand.

A hand raised toward the sky as if offering it to someone. And the moment I saw my beating heart, I felt it.

That something is wrong
