Chapter 473 – Gap (5)

Even while Iona and I were flirting for a bit, Ajidahaka was quickly getting closer.

Confusion continued as the territory residents, who had finally realized the identity of the incoming enemy, screamed and collapsed, or tried to push others to enter the teleport gate.

The deacon and other Gasols, who are supposed to calm them down and sort them out, are also in a half-crazy state.

Write it. I can’t help it. Although it may lack a bit of output, it would be better than exposing the general public defenselessly to Ajidahaka’s energy.

“Professor Iona. First, the blood.”

“Huh.”

Since it was no longer the time to joke around, Iona nodded with a more serious expression than usual.

Tarla’s expression frowned a little as she naturally climbed onto my lap and bit the back of her neck… Right now, I can’t afford to take care of the poor Solo who saw the salting process.

She focused her mind, feeling the familiar vampiric high. It’s still far from being fully charged, but I still managed to concentrate most of the accumulated mana on the castle wall. And…

Kugugung-

With the sound of something heavy being dragged, a huge amount of mana takes shape on the castle wall.

A barrier built by intricately shaped mana crystals interlocking precisely. The confused residents of the territory stopped at the sight of it not just covering the top of the castle wall, but completely blocking the sky in the form of a dome.

And then I looked up at the sky blankly… Perhaps because he was assimilated with the entire Yeongju Castle, he could even be heard muttering softly.

“This is the former lord’s…”
“But now the Duke is only Lindelheit in name, and he is not related by blood.”
“Miss Carla! It must have been opened by Lady Carla!”

Is it because I am free from the influence of the deathly energy that deeply penetrates my mind even though I am far away?

Youngjimin has finally regained his sanity. Likewise, Gasol, who had come to his senses, took advantage of this moment and quickly led an evacuation.

… But maybe I didn’t like this sight? Ajidahaka, who was far away, twitched the corner of his mouth.

-Under. This shield is worth looking at, but the only thing trying to protect it with this much magic are scum.

Madness shines in the cloudy eyes, and then the large mouth opens to reveal the inside.

Sharp teeth. However, what is missing sparsely does not seem very threatening. Of course, Ajida Haka didn’t open her mouth to bite on this street.

Gooooo-

A torrent of mana so strong that it can be seen with her eyes is concentrated into Ajida Haka’s mouth. At the same time, a red-hot flame rises.

The light was so strong that it looked like a small star from a distance.

As if its body is trying to withstand the recoil of something, it assumes a stiff posture with its head and tail straight. I woke up to something I had seen recently.

“No, that crazy bastard?”

Breath blowing from the very beginning?

Breath is not a skill that can be used recklessly even against dragons. This is because the Dragon Heart is overloaded to release mana, so it is burdensome in many ways.

… But if you think about it, the current Azida Haka is an undead, so there was no need to worry about her physical damage.

If you can fire a dragon heart whenever it stabilizes, it would be more efficient to start by launching one right away. From the perspective of the victim, it seems like a dog.

“Tsk. “If it comes out like this, there’s nothing we can do.”

At the same time as maintaining her barrier, she activated her magic cannon. This one also doesn’t have enough charging time, so you can only shoot once… You have no choice now.

The output of the current wall was a bit low, so it didn’t seem like it would be able to block the breath. The power needs to be offset at least a little.

Some of the bricks that made up the castle wall began to fall off and be assembled onto the surrounding gun barrels.

Instead of slightly reducing the thickness of the castle wall, it changes to be able to withstand high-output magic cannons.

Among the completed gun barrels, magical power is simultaneously drawn into the five front ones that can target Ajidahaka.

Ugh-

Unlike the breath, which uses both the mana of the Dragon Heart and the mana in the atmosphere, it only uses the mana within the castle, so there is less outward noise. At most, a slight resonance.

However, the power contained within it is not weak.

We can see it now because we are connected to all these systems. Rather than simply condensing mana and shooting it out, it induces repeated random rotation and diffuse reflection internally.

Similar principle to Dragon Breath. Actually, that would be true. Instead of reproducing the compression force of Dragon Heart, it was rotated.

The range will be a little shorter compared to the mana used, but it will be able to tear everything it touches to shreds.

Of course, each one is inferior to Dragon Breath… If there are 5, it’s a different story.

And Ajidahaka would also know this well.

The eyes of the guy who was preparing his breath calmly sank.

-Indeed. Did you say that you are a family with the blood of a dragon? That’s great. But did you think you could beat the original with such deteriorated blood!

The magical power rushing towards Ajidahaka becomes even stronger. It feels like the breath is going to come out at any moment.

“Tsk.”

Clicking his tongue lightly, he also took aim at the gun barrel. And the moment everything is ready.

The breath and magic cannon were fired almost simultaneously.

Quagga gagagak-!

A storm of magical power that burns and crushes the atmosphere. The blue light of the magic cannon shoots towards the breath that is like the essence of destruction.

Cooooo!

Five thick lines crossing the air with a dull vibration. It doesn’t feel as overwhelming as the breath, but it spreads out smoothly.

The moment the two collide like that. A shock wave spreads out in all directions along with a deafening roar.

———————!!

Although it clearly hit from a fairly high altitude, the impact was so strong that the ground collapsed slightly. Of course, the shock to the castle was quite significant, but this level could be prevented with a wall.

Blue magic cannons and bright red breath fight fiercely. But was it still not enough?

The magic cannon, which held on well at first, gradually got pushed back, but was quickly consumed by the breath, and began to be pushed back steadily.

“Master! “Are you sure that’s okay?!”

“… Are you okay. I didn’t expect it to be completely blocked from the beginning. “The rest can be handled with a wall.”

In fact, the breath’s momentum was noticeably weaker than before. Ajida Haka also seemed to have already used up all of her condensed mana, so she was unable to continue her breathing further.

In the end, the magic cannon was completely pushed back and the breath began to burn and grind down the wall.

Card clutter.

The barrier, which was interlocked with a complex magic power pattern, had some cracks, but was holding up well. That’s a good thing.

As soon as possible, I need to infuse my magic power and strengthen the shield in preparation for the magic that will follow.

It was a moment when I raised my magic with that thought.

Haha! Who dares stand in the way of dragons and their descendants!”

Vlad, who had been quietly hanging on his front paw like a pet doll, had already approached the castle wall.

A guy who slashes his own wrists with a grin that doesn’t match his pale face like a sick person.

A large amount of blood began to ooze out from the fairly deep torn wound. But the energy is unusual.

“It’s all Jinhyeol… ?”

The amount of blood that vampires handle is enormous. It goes without saying, but you can’t keep all that blood in your body.

Therefore, the condensed essence is made separately and is called jinhyeol.

Thanks to this, it is possible to mass-produce ordinary blood by diluting part of the true blood with just a little magical power.

Usually, a vampire’s status is determined by the purity of Jinhyeol, and the total amount of power is determined by the amount of Jinhyeol…

Right now, Vlad is drawing out the true blood and using it like normal blood. Even the purity is similar to that of Iona, who has been drinking my blood every day.

I hurriedly tried to increase the speed of mana injection, but it was too late.

Because it was faster for the spurted blood to change into the form of a giant hammer than for my magic to convert and flow in to reinforce the shield.

Hematology. This is the alpha and omega type of blood magic that Iona frequently uses.

Although it was easy to use, the magic, whose power increased infinitely depending on the vampire’s level and skill, struck the gold-covered barrier.

Kwaaaaa!!

The cracks on the shield became even darker due to the impact, which was too powerful to have been simply struck with force. Perhaps the hammer itself has various effects.

“It’s going to spin, really.”

As magic power was poured in in earnest, the gold quickly adhered and the shield began to become stronger…

Haha!”

What’s so exciting about it is that I can’t keep up with Vlad’s speed as he hammers like crazy. If things continue like this, the barrier will be completely broken.

This is difficult because it takes more magic attribute and time to rebuild than to reinforce.

So, it was a car that was determined to pour out its magic attribute.

“No, no. Yandel students, don’t waste your mana on something like this.”

“Professor?”

Iona shook her head, taking my hand.

“I will deal with that guy alone.”

“… Is that okay? I know very well that Professor Iona has become stronger these days, but the opponent is the opponent. “How about going with Helena?”

“I agree. Although it now has a good relationship with cooperative vampires, the Church of Gwangmyeong was once at the forefront of the war against vampires. “It will definitely help.”

Helena quietly drew her mace and helped, but Iona’s attitude did not change.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. If you think about it that way, the Church of Light is also a specialist in dealing with the undead, right? Please stop Ajdahaka with the Yandel student, not me. … “I’m confident that we can hold out until the punitive force arrives.”

“Ah.”

Yes. I was a little late because I couldn’t cast it as fast as Iona, but the punitive force will arrive soon.

It means that not only Iona, but also this side, just needs to hold on somehow. At that level, Iona is worth doing what she said.

“Great. “I will do as Professor Iona says.”

“Yep! “Leave this to Professor Iona!”

Iona twitched the corner of her mouth playfully, as usual.
