Episode 584: All-out War (2)

The consumable artifact [Square Distortion] prepared by the Society destroyed two space movement magic circles believed to be the work of Baloch, and also blocked the source.

The coordinates are exactly two places: near the northern border and the upper part of the western continent.

Although the number of times [Square Distortion] can be used is reduced by two at a time, this makes it impossible to teleport to the upper and middle parts of the Western Continent and the lower parts of the northern part of the Continent for a certain period of time.

As if a wall were blocking the way.

There is no way to move in or out of this space other than by entering directly or by receiving permission from the owner of the [Square Distortion] to move through the space.

So the magic circle related to the location presumed to be Sandhir Paen, which was not marked on the stereoscopic map in Baloch’s personal laboratory, was disconnected.

The fleet of Bohemian Tower was able to cross over.

‘The Black Hour and the Spectral Procession will collide soon. The magical battle in the sky will be clearly won by the latter.’

The difference is purely in the size of the aircraft.

But it is just a meaningless gap.

Anyway, the battle format won’t be an air battle.

Verden mentally sorted out the situation.

‘The overall flow is smooth.’

Taking full advantage of the surprise attack, he killed Rawen Seedgar and Pierie, two members of Itium who had been caught off guard.

With almost no damage.

I think it’s safe to say that we’ve achieved this level of success. We’ve definitely gained the upper hand from the start.

However, it is too early to feel relieved.

The real show starts now.

‘The problem is this variable.’

Sandhir Payen.

The bastard’s spatial coordinates are close to the Black Hour fleet. At least when comparing the entire Western Continent.

‘If a 5th-rank wizard were to cast a combination of and to travel a long distance, it would take several days… … But Sandhir is a transcendentalist who specializes in speed. If he wanted to, he could travel the wave in just a few hours.’

It must be stopped.

Even the slightest misstep increases the damage exponentially. The isolation of the Transcendent determines the victory or defeat in an all-out war.

Verden said.

“Reinforcement will arrive from the Grand Hall soon. However, it will take time for the remaining personnel, including the front line, to arrive. So rearrange the route. Abandon the destruction of the Spectral Matrix and enter a long-term battle, and the officers within the fleet… … .”

───My lord.

Adrian Chanvers spoke over the communicator.

In a stronger tone than usual.

───Please trust me and leave it to me.

… … Among the plans I had made, the current situation was also included. Two countermeasures were prepared in direct response to this.

First, it splits the fleet’s power so that it can engage in a less favorable engagement with the Spectral Procession instead of facing Sandir.

Second, by isolating Sandir with only the ‘best forces’ within the force and holding him out until additional support arrives, the odds of victory in battle against the Spectral Procession are significantly increased.

Adrian is hoping for the second.

‘It’s the best from a power perspective.’

Fleet casualties will be significantly reduced, and the chances of annihilating the remaining Itium elders leading the spectral procession will increase.

‘In return, the burden on the top powers will increase.’

Especially to Adrian.

Standing at a crossroads.

Then the guy added:

───I will do it. Definitely.

I felt no fear. I felt no hesitation. Above all, I did not volunteer to sacrifice myself for others.

Filled with pure determination and a strong conviction of victory… … that was Adrian’s choice.

And likewise, the decision maker, Verden, also made his choice.

“I’ll leave it to you.”

───Yes, I wish you good luck.

Adrian cut off the communication. The dice started rolling. Whether a 1 or a 6 would come up depended on the individual’s ability.

It’s not luck.

Next, we connected the communication device to the Ostea Tower Lord, the Guardian Sage, who was located on the cliff stronghold at the front line of the Western Continent Tower Alliance.

Not long after, a voice came from the bracelet.

───Is it now?

“okay.”

Verden takes a step forward.

“See you soon. With Robelyn.”

* * *

Adrian boarded a small flying machine alone and left the fleet.

Cain, who was staring at his back as he moved away to the left, calmed his nerves by caressing the handle of the magic sword.

“Fighting a transcendent being with a small number of people? Wouldn’t it be better to ask our seniors now and join forces to increase our chances of victory?”

“It may be high. It may be a meaningless number, though.”

Grave, sitting on the box, answered while trimming his dagger and short sword.

“If the other officers are to be of any direct or indirect help in the war against Sandhir Paen, at least five top-tier players must be there to block him from the front. He could be killed in a single move. Otherwise, he’ll be a hindrance.”

“… … If it weren’t for the saturation of the pancreas, I could have done something.”

The magician’s saturation of the pancreas, following the dynamics of intelligence and the matrix of spectra.

Considering the elders of the Magic Tower, including him, and even Croden, concentrating all power in one place is not the right direction.

“At the end of the day, we just have to do our assigned roles. So that no one in other battlefields will have to worry about us… … I don’t know if it’ll work out well.”

The all-out war between the new Black Hour and the Bohemian Tower, undisclosed to the world, will be brought to an end by a few.

The best forces including Adrian and the wise men and Sandhir Payen.

Verden and Baloch Besias.

‘You can’t win in just one of the two battles. You have to win in both. That’s the outcome everyone wants.’

Although the objective view looks at it with hopeful optimism.

Still, I truly hope so.

Grave has spent too long as a straggler of the Black Hour. He has lived as a mercenary who lives only for today.

So now I want to dream of tomorrow. Even if it’s too greedy.

“It’ll be okay, sir.”

Ophea Rogentena, who had come closer before we knew it, smiled. Not only her, but also her comrades who had been with her during the early days of Black Hour.

The Society pledged to protect the safety of the new generation, Cain.

Levana and Aldevan, who had served as upper and lower officers under the Darkmoon, glanced around while checking their strategy.

As such, each person’s thoughts and determination were different.

However, the will to survive by trampling on and overcoming the enemy was the same.

“… … We’ve arrived. Let’s get ready.”

Levana nodded.

Everyone’s eyes were focused on one place.

Far above, high above the clouds, a group of flying machines revealed their majesty by releasing their magical cloaks.

The matrix of spectra.

The main magic group of the Bohemian Tower, consisting of magicians who have mastered multi-elemental magic, has arrived with a fleet.

A large flying boat was leading the formation at the very front, and at the front of the fleet, a sharp-eyed woman was standing proudly with her arms folded.

Aldebaran frowned.

“Luminaria… … .”

One of the top three magicians in Itium.

The leader of the spectral matrix.

A rare talent possessing innate suitability for all elemental attributes.

Ophea took hold of her staff.

“I don’t see any other elders. They’re not at the forefront, so I guess we can assume they’re not there?”

“That’s right. Since they have brains, they won’t make the foolish decision to pour all their energy into this.”

The Bohemian Tower was literally raided from all over the continent and suffered significant losses. It is natural to feel confused.

You can’t help but wonder what the enemies’ next move will be and what they are after.

That is why Baloch cannot go outside the tower and take action himself.

We must be wary of Verden, disguised as Dark Moon───, who is currently appearing on the front lines and making suspicious movements.

“By the way, when I saw it in person, it seems like there are more people than I expected. Since it was related to an unofficial laboratory, I think they only dispatched internal personnel.”

“If the power of Jin-Hye is added to that, there will be only a handful of forces on the continent that can handle it. It’s not for nothing that it’s ranked second in the Magic Tower military hierarchy.”

Even if it’s just the spectral matrix, if the fleets were to fight each other, there’s no doubt that Black Hour would be at a disadvantage.

The presence or absence of a large-scale flying boat that concentrates the technological prowess of the Tower is a very important factor.

Yet no one flinched. Some even raised the corners of their lips and tried not to hide their smiles.

Phew─────────!

A wave of magical power passed by. At the same time, the flying ships in the spectral line began to flash with various colored lights.

“Is that the multi-element bombardment of the Bohemian Tower that I’ve only heard about… … . It looks like it’s quite angry since it’s about to attack right away.”

“Or maybe they’re just really confused by the situation. The range of the fire seems quite large. How much of the impact can our shields withstand, Beta?”

Beta finished his calculations at Levana’s polite question.

[I estimate a maximum of 1 minute. And I estimate that it will take approximately 59 seconds for the entire spectral matrix fleet to enter the ‘operation area’.]

It was as expected.

Closely.

Black Hour’s fleet took up a defensive formation.

The magicians aboard the 10 ships, 3 medium-sized and 7 small-sized… activated the shields on the ships themselves, then overlapped the elemental curtains and strengthened them with magic.

Magic items were not spared either.

Will they be suspicious when they see this?

As soon as I thought that, an eerie wave came crashing down on me along with a vibration.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaah!

The translucent magical shield rippled and created a violent ripple. The hull shook violently due to the amount of impact that could not be blocked.

As if that was the beginning, various elemental magics that decorated the sky poured down in countless amounts like heavy rain, drawing a rainbow.

“Is this a tactic to first suppress them with force from a high altitude? Sounds reasonable. Small airships, lower your altitude a bit more!”

“yes!”

The medium-sized ones can at least withstand it, but the small-sized ones are dangerous.

Because the moment the protection system collapses, it’s over.

[The spectral line is accelerating. Reduce the remaining arrival time to 30 seconds.]

I held on, trying my best to repair the shield damaged by the bombing. It only lasted a few dozen seconds, but it felt like a long time.

Thump-thump-thump!

A spinning piece of stone suddenly shot out and pierced the weakened area. The blow passed through the shield and even went through the deck.

Grave’s cheek, which he barely avoided, was cut shallowly and blood began to form.

A sharp gaze pierces the senses.

I raised my gaze along with my head, and saw Luminaria aiming the head of her stylish two-handed staff in my direction.

The sound is transmitted through the atmosphere.

“Black Hour. What are you guys hiding your intentions now?”

“What is it?”

Grave revealed it.

“It’s a trap.”

[The entire spectral matrix fleet has entered the range without exception. Now.]

Cain quickly bent his wrist.

A tiny mirror held in the palm of one’s hand reflected the world.

“Reflect, reflect.”

A two-phrase starting word.

This is an ancient artifact [Mirror of Representation] owned by the guardian sage, Medrant Keden.

It is a magical relic passed down in the Ostea Tower that can completely implement the characteristics of the environment it previously reflected into any space.

The whole area began to change into the same scenery that had occurred when the three wise men faced Verden.

Yes, that’s right.

Now, this is a desert of silence.

An unexplored area where the success rate of space travel drastically decreases and all , including magic, becomes impossible.

──!

The plane began to tilt as it lost its level. Then one, then three, then three, then seven, then seven, then all of them.

“Hold on tight! Brace yourself for impact!”

Graves gripped the handrail he had previously installed on the wall. The others also took their assigned positions and held themselves firmly in place.

As planned.

“It’s falling!”

A feeling of buoyancy enveloped my whole body.

A total of more than twenty aircraft lost their balance simultaneously. Their centers of gravity shifted. Their altitude dropped rapidly.

The wizards of the Bohemian Tower, who were slow to respond to the sudden situation, were left floating in the air.

I tried to write in a hurry, but of course it was useless.

“what…….”

It was the moment when Luminaria opened her eyes wide.

KWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH …

There was a loud noise and an earthquake in the harsh terrain of the mountain range, where the cold air from the north barely touched. The fleets of the two forces collided with the ground.

Several aircraft were engulfed in flames as explosions occurred, particularly those involving a parade of spectral objects that fell from a great height.

The wizards who were thrown from the ship fell to their deaths in an absurd manner.

Although some managed to land by using magic to cushion the impact of the fall, many were injured.

“My, my fleet… …?”

Luminaria stood up, holding onto the railing of a large flying machine that was stuck diagonally on the side of the mountain, with a bewildered expression on her face.

What the fuck, what is this?

A cheer is heard.

The magicians of Black Hour and Society, who had already prepared for the impact and minimized the damage from falling, formed a formation and advanced.

Levana screamed.

“Erase them all!”

The spells fell in a curve, and soon the Bohemian Magic Tower fleet landed in the area they fell, creating an explosion.

Slurp.

Cain and Grave each grabbed their swords and charged forward.

The ground war between wizards who were unable to fly began.

* * *

“… … Contact with the spectral matrix has been lost.”

There are two cases.

Either something is interfering with the large flying vehicle that Luminaria is on board, or something is blocking the teleportation.

Whatever it is, it’s the worst.

“I…….”

The voice trembled slightly. The presence responded to the intense emotion.

“What are you missing?”

Baloch, who suffered defeat after defeat in command of his forces, began to suppress his arrogance and question his power.
