Chapter 434 – Wave (3)

He quietly raised his index finger.

Then, as if tracing the horizon, he drew a straight line from left to right and chanted.

“Shining Ray. Burst.”

All monsters on the trajectory exploded.

“What, what, huh!”

The Crown Prince, who was admiring my Yonginhwa form from behind, was so startled that he jumped about 2 meters in place and landed on his knees.

… Doesn’t my knee hurt?

I thought that if you have a good body, your reaction when surprised will also be greater… It is clear that the crown prince is a strange person, as not only the great warrior who is stronger than the crown prince, but also other similar elite warriors just gape and open their mouths.

But. Because I don’t jump up and down just because my physical specifications have improved.

Smiling, I looked at the plain that had become empty as the monsters had been swept away, and the barrier that was shaking precariously, perhaps due to its great power.

I wondered if it would be possible to break the barrier with this level of power, but it doesn’t work either.

Anyway, it seems to be affected, so if I mix it with dragon words and cast it stronger, I might be able to break it… No matter how much I do, it would be too much of a waste to throw all my energy into every barrier I encounter.

It’s okay to waste some magic power, but it takes some time to recover mental power, so you need to use magic without overdoing it.

Here, too, there is no choice but to enter the barrier of interference, even if it means taking a small penalty.

… Anyway, wasn’t I really cool a little while ago?

As I was feeling proud, the Crown Prince got up from his knees and started making a fuss.

“Duke! What on earth is that?! What kind of magic is this? The monsters were wiped out with just one gesture?! “I guessed it would be around 200!”

“What… It’s nothing special. “I just swung it sideways, continuously emitting a laser that explodes when it touches my hand.”

“Exploding laser… ? So what kind of magic is that again?”

“Shining Ray is a variation of magic that focuses light into one point and shoots it out.”

“What kind of magic is Shining Ray?” .”

“…”

What? Since there were only people around me who knew how to use magic, I didn’t really feel it, but basically, magicians are rare.

This would be especially true in a beast-human society that reveres intuitive strength.

Perhaps this is a common reaction. So I decided to explain it from the crown prince’s perspective.

“It’s a magic that involves swinging gunpowder attached to a very long sword.”

“Huh! It was that kind of magic! “It’s amazing!”

The Crown Prince exclaims as if he finally understood. … This works.

His subordinates seemed to have finally figured it out and started whispering to each other in surprise.

“Half-dragon, you’re using Death Beam!”
“Praise… !”
“I saw it! “When the Duke opened the dragon’s eyes, they were all dead!”

Of course, some mercenaries mixed in among them. In particular, the wizards looked like they were looking at something uncivilized.

Maybe that’s why the relationship between wizards and knights is so bad?

There is no way that a structure where wizards ignore knights, calling them ignorant, and knights despise wizards, calling them a bunch of self-indulgent people, could have been created in just a day or two.

However, there is no need to worry about that. All we need is for internal strife to not break out until this battle is over.

While sighing lightly. Iona came over with a big smile.

“You know, you know. “Did you just use grandiose magic on purpose, student Yandel?”

“Yeah, whatever. “Now we’re going to start fighting in earnest, so we need to keep our morale up.”

“Yes? Was that the reason? I also thought that Yandel was suffering from the second-year disease of being pretentious and only interested in strange spells or flashy magic…”

“… “It’s not like that, is it?”

I never thought there would be something similar to the second year of middle school here too.

He shook his head and assumed a familiar fighting stance, holding a dagger in one hand and a staff in the other.

Then, not only my group but also the flirting crown prince and his subordinates all raised their weapons.

Tarla, who had no weapon in particular, just looked at me with an interested expression.

“Hmm… Hehe…”

I don’t know what’s so funny, but you can ask me about that later. Because the monsters that were once wiped out are starting to gather again.

“Let’s get over quickly before they come rushing in again. “I will clear the way this time too.”

If you’re simply pouring out magical energy without consuming your mental energy, I’m perfect because I have monster-like regenerative power thanks to my dragon heart and various blessings.

“Goes. Just stick close and follow me. “Don’t get lost while doing something else.”

“Oh? Are you telling me not to leave your side? Do not worry. This time, I will be right by your side, Yandel.”

“… ?”

It’s a bit difficult to keep saying meaningful things, but judging by the tentacles wriggling behind his back, he seems to be motivated anyway, so it’s okay.

I turned my gaze away from Tarla and glared straight ahead.

A translucent curtain that can be seen when you concentrate. The moment we cross this road, a full-scale war will begin.

But rather, it was the sea I had been waiting for.

It’s different from before, when I was first beaten by an evil spirit and then somehow got through it by crying and eating mustard. I will attack first… !

“How many times have I already been hit by a monster wave alone… “I will return the same on this opportunity.”

“You. “There’s a bit of a back end?”

She snorted and refuted Elisha’s words.

“Joy! “This is not an afterthought, it’s a matter of good memory.”

Anyway, that’s it.

***

The sky burns red.

It was not because of the sunset, but because flames covered the surrounding area.

“Keeeeek!”
“Shaat! Shaaaaat!”
“Gweeeeeng!”

Monsters scatter in all directions, each screaming loudly.

Most of them are Lamia and Mountain Turtle, which are representative members of Crooked Leisure, and you can also see a few monsters like Evil Mushroom and Rolling Stone in between.

Although they are of different races… At this moment, they were running away from me with one mind and one intention.

Crawling on the floor, moving slow and heavy feet, riding on the back of another monster, rolling around on the floor, etc.

Watching them desperately run away fills me with satisfaction deep within my heart.

“Huh, haha!”

I think it’s a pretty evil laugh. But I can’t help it. I didn’t know that it would feel so good to take the initiative in attacking and then see the enemy running away!

Because, excluding small-scale skirmishes, this is the first time.

“Look! “Monsters look like trash!”

“… Haven’t you become stronger? “If I had known it would be this bad, I don’t think there would have been any reason to go into hiding.”

She shrugged her shoulders at Tarla’s half-tired voice.

“No way. Not to that extent. “If a really big guy comes along instead of a random guy like that, we won’t be able to push this overwhelmingly, right?”

“It sounds like you can win anyway.”

“You can actually win somehow.”

Of course, mental resistance is limited to evil spirits, but I also have power resistance and area resistance.

As long as I rely heavily on the barrier, the army of curved leisure will not be much of a threat to me.

Anyway, I defeated hundreds of monsters with just one hit for the first time, but this is the home of a curved leisure like no other.

Of course, it wasn’t long before more monsters flocked in.

But no matter what, they are just idiots. When I decided to fire the magic, it just evaporated before I could get close.

Even though this is a curved realm of leisure, I have gained authority through the title of God Slayer and by ingesting the essence of the World Tree… In particular, it has gained enormous resistance to the power of evil spirits.

I don’t know if it’s an errand, but they can’t impose a proper penalty on me just by interfering.

No, on the contrary, it became even stronger as it received all kinds of bonuses just because it was within the evil spirit’s domain.

As a result. I became a perfect magic launcher that fired high-level magic without interruption.

“Fire Phoenix. Thunder Break. Frost Gigant. Obsidian Thorn.”

In the sky, a blazing firebird chased and burned monsters, the one that clumsily avoided being hit by lightning from the sky and turned into a pile of charcoal, and the monster that saw and avoided was crushed by a huge ice giant’s punch.

The lucky one who survived was pierced to death by the obsidian skewer that sprouted from under his feet, so it could be said that he practically defeated all of them except for those who had not yet attacked him.

Fire Phoenix is ​​a magic I made in the past because it looked cool and used it because it was useful, but the other magic was something I just thought about in my head and used for the first time.

What I felt while watching Elisha and Iris’ magic, what I realized while controlling the giant golem that Fay made, and even the magic that imitates Iona.

All of them are powerful, but I was a little anxious because they were experimental spells… A note of incorrect answers recently handed over by the chairman.

Past research logs were of great help. Thanks to this, we were able to greatly reduce trial and error.

And now. This is how the results were achieved.

Instead of becoming stronger by receiving the power of the evil god, the monster becomes mentally abnormal and harbors unwavering hostility in any situation.

However, the monster that should have been bravely attacking with a one-sided killing intent is running away… !

“Well, it’s not like you’re really scared and running away.”

“I guess so. “Maybe those who survive now will band together and attack from the deep end, which is a more advantageous place.”

“In other words, you have to kill as many monsters as possible before reaching the core?”

According to my will, more magical power began to circulate through my body.

The waves of magic that follow will be even stronger than before.

He raised the corners of his mouth and muttered softly.

Ruler. Who’s the wave now?
