Chapter 475
When it comes to illusion magic, most people think that simply fooling people’s five senses with magic, but what the parties are pursuing is not such a simple deception.
Their ultimate goal is not simply to deceive the brain, but to deceive the surrounding environment and even the natural laws of the area. Just as there was a precedent in the imperial academy’s sparring ground, this was not an absurd sound, but was clearly a feasible realm.
Of course, it requires an enormous pre-work and preparation like building a huge building for this… but it’s so easy to destroy it.
Like the buildings built by real mortals. It is because of this aspect that illusion magic has many metaphors related to architecture.
So, the nickname of Calais, who is said to be opening a new horizon for the school, is also ‘the one who builds the tower’. Perhaps, in the distant future, if this study completely hardens and spreads as an orthodoxy, it will be remembered as the owner of the tower or the one who completed it, not the person who built the tower.
Some considered even that to be an empty dream, but Khalesi was confident of attaining such a future. Even the warrior who received God’s protection could not resist his magic. The clear performance was sufficient as a basis for her confidence.
Of course, it goes without saying that there was much more preparation for this than what appeared on the surface.
After collecting information from previous generations of warriors, establishing hypotheses, preparing for variables, and not missing the legendary story of beings from another dimension among them, the decisive piece that was able to be captured is the warrior’s ‘memory’.
Even with the power of an evil spirit, it was never easy to secretly send a familiar while the hero was asleep, intervene in his mind remotely, and examine the fragments of the past that remained in his memory. If he could have killed the hero in one blow or cursed it with his secretly infiltrated familiar, he would have done so right away.
But even if I wanted to, I couldn’t.
Even monumental familiars that were completed at astronomical costs could only activate simple water illusion magic after meeting all the conditions for infiltration. Even that was only illusion magic that worked like a precision machine that could be activated with just a small amount of mana based on the groundwork that was tighter than a spider’s web.
If everything else was included, all of them could not withstand the magic and divine power and disappeared, so it was Khalesi who somehow got a hint from the operation that would have been scrapped, dug into it, and brought it to where it is now.
Although it was a cornerstone built on dead demons and stolen divinities, Khalesi took firm pride in the outcome he had put out, carried out the operation, and firmly believed that it would soon succeed.
Until a two-handed ax flew towards him.
“Kyaaak?!”
If it wasn’t for the protection magic that was wrapped around the body, everyone reacted one tempo late to the perfect surprise attack that would have been pierced by an ax and flew far away. The Demon Lords were frightened by the magic contained in the axe, and she and other illusion wizards were horrified that the ax had reached Khalesi’s face.
From the moment they appeared on the battlefield, they had manifested their ‘sanctuary’. A group of enemies, including the hero, were in the sphere of influence, and even if they were in this area, even if they were aiming and attacking themselves, they had to aim for a completely different place.
It was not only a part that the illusion wizards put the most effort into, but it was actually a magic that had been tested several times on the battlefield. Otherwise, how could those who had no lifelong relationship with war survive on the battlefield?
At least you have to be a warrior to be able to try a proper blow. Other than that, you have to be a priest or high-ranking wizard to overcome the illusion and deal damage, and even if a sword master comes, it is difficult to destroy it unilaterally, he even proved through direct experiments.
Even that is a story when attempting close combat, the projectiles cannot even approach because they cannot penetrate the illusion that distorts the space properly. Nevertheless, the ax thrown by Eldmia flew very accurately to split Khalesi’s torso as if it were natural.
That alone was surprising, but after noticing that the protection magic that had been doubled and tripled through the dregs had been completely blown away with the single blow, Khalesi glared at Eldmia, feeling the cold sweat running down her back.
Although Eldmia had no interest in the confrontation, which was just staring at her.
“Keep your eyes open, traitor.”
50 meters away, as if it were less than 5 meters, in an instant, as if it were less than 5 meters away, everyone who saw the sight of the ax that had shown terrible power returning to its owner’s hand while figuring out the meaning of a word he said before approaching Each acted as if they had promised.
Realizing that the situation was different from yesterday when they were able to engage in battle by leaving the party of warriors and their escorts to the welcome wizard unilaterally, some of the Demon Kings moved with courage to block the wizards, and the army of the Humans moved at least one such Demon Lord’s army. To kill more, they split left and right with Eldmia in between and pushed forward like waves.
If it had been as before, it would have been a clash that should have led to a close fight without retreating an inch, but today, even that, the result was different.
“Damn it! What are you guys doing! Fight!”
“Don’t be seduced by the words of the Humans! If the demons abandoned us, how would the illusion wizards use their divine power!”
Everything went wrong with the appearance of humans who were certain to be able to use magic and divine power.
There were more people who couldn’t move easily than those who dared to step forward to become meat shields while intuition that if Eldmia’s approach was allowed, the illusion wizards who had recently shown excellent results as warriors could be slaughtered on the spot. They hesitated as they sought God, chained by suspicion and fear not of death but of an unexpected charge of apostasy.
Of course, Eldmia wasn’t even interested in that.
Eldmia, who cut down two more demon lords who quickly approached to block the road while firmly closing the distance while the surroundings were going to be messed up again, threw an ax without hesitation at one wizard with a particularly large magic response. He fixed the toothless sword with both hands and gripped it.
“Uh…”
The whole scene felt so unreal that the action stopped temporarily, but Khalesi’s head began to spin more violently than ever.
Even the hero couldn’t unilaterally and instantly pose a threat to himself. Even the sword masters sent in from the Empire could not properly attack within the sanctuary of her and her subordinates.
Khalesi, who instantly came to the conclusion of the reality that he had penetrated it and what it meant to be the target of calling himself an apostate, stretched out his magic power toward the two subordinates who caught his eye.
“clear.”
The two men, who were showing signs of erosion, were still intact, but they were cards to be discarded on this battlefield anyway.
Thanks to this, Khalesi was able to cast magic without any hesitation, and the restraints on the magic tools worn by the two wizards, her targets, ran out of control, and the remnants of the evil spirits began to run rampant.
◈
Even if it was fake, there was a lot to find out, so I didn’t intend to kill it.
However, I didn’t need limbs when I spoke, so I thought I’d cut off that much, and the moment I was about to swing my sword, the poop-colored hair cast something on another wizard who was my subordinate.
At first, I didn’t even know it was magic because it was such a minute movement of mana that I wondered if I was gathering mana to cast magic. However, even if he was a flying and crawling genius, he couldn’t cast fatal magic with just that much magical power, so he didn’t care and tried to cut off the two arms of his shit-colored hair first.
The cost of that judgment, which was too unfair to be called carelessness, was great.
In a short time of taking a single step, the runaway axe Mk.2 and Mk.3 were created at the same time.
“Eldmia!”
It was faster to dodge the fists from both sides to crush me than to hear Siegfried’s cry.
“Aagh!”
Without even a chance to whistle, I move the needle and present it to the two monsters who are glaring at me with bloodshot eyes and swing my sword. Fortunately, they screamed and clenched their fists as the enchanted sword cut off the monsters’ fingers in a completely different sensation.
It’s similar to an axeman, but different. Perhaps because the axemen are warriors, they have the mentality to chew on pain and fight, and because these guys are magicians, they may not be immune to pain.
It was a very positive discovery, but the situation quickly reached the edge of the worst, so I suddenly ran out of time and urgently called Zeke and asked for help.
“Zeke! Help!”
“At a time like this, you come up with a joke like that!?”
There are times in life when people can’t stand a joke if they don’t joke due to extreme stress, but that’s all right now dude.
Although they may not be immune to pain, they are not deformed with physical abilities. The fist he had just swung was very dangerous. Unless these two were special individuals, it was obvious that if that damn shit-colored head made up its mind and sacrificed its own men, there would be very disastrous results.
It is a year that I will devote my life to and from, and at the same time, I will devote the rest without hesitation.
“Fuck.”
In this situation, I had roughly two options.
Until the moment when the allies who haven’t even approached me take the aggro of the monsters, avoiding the damn thing’s attacks, not only blocking the magic cast by the shit-colored hair, but also paying attention to the chatter of the rest of the illusion wizards, while occasionally approaching Don’t forget to put a knife on the demon king.
Either leave it all to Zeke and run away.
“I’d rather die than get sick.”
Sadly, the options were so out of balance it wasn’t even worth worrying about.
