Only My Magic Levels Up - Chapter 164



Only Noblemtl

Episode 164: Hunting (5)

With thousands of them forming formation like they are now, the Wyverns were an even more difficult evil species.

The formation is formed in a circle so that it can respond to attacks from any direction, but if you look at it in isolation, it is ultimately a structure that deals with enemies coming from the front of the area in charge.

Wyverns can drop from above, and even attack the inside of a formation that is normally safe.

What about their individual specs? They fly fast so it’s not easy to catch them, and even if you catch them, their scales are so hard that you won’t be able to hit them properly unless you have the strength of a white warrior. They’re also big so if they struggle, several people will get swept away.

Out of the 2,200 members of the Wonjin, there were less than thirty Baek-ranked members, while there were over fifty flying wyverns. From the mercenaries’ perspective, it was a disaster.

‘You must have been aware of my existence.’

Sirens do not have a neural network that automatically detects the death of their own kind. They would have known that the Legion had been wiped out as a result of their reconnaissance.

If you’ve done some reconnaissance, you probably can’t miss the Vanity Flame, even if you don’t know about other magic. The burn marks are so easy to see.

Therefore, he must have thought of a countermeasure against fire magicians.

The wyvern’s offensive will also be part of that.

Fire magic was usually more suited to burning something on the ground rather than empty space.

Even if you could somehow burn the wyvern to death, that would be a problem in its own right.

The place where they would eventually die would be above the heads of the mercenaries, and considering the size of the evil spirit, it would be no different from a burning boulder crashing down.

In short, whether the Wyvern lived or died, Wonjin would inevitably suffer damage. It was a choice with no answer.

‘You’re quite thoughtful when it comes to demons.’

Of course, no matter how much Siren racks her brain, it is useless against a force that destroys common sense.

Galen, who was grumbling, followed the movements of the wyverns with his eyes.

The wind that was blowing around him was too gentle compared to the amount of money he had invested, but it was an intentional breather.

Galen’s will, which had been slowly spreading along the gigantic yet secretive current that was a mixture of half the magic of the spiral vortex and half the power of the stars, finally gained momentum the moment the first wyvern swooped down to the ground.

“Euaaaah… ahhh… … ?”

The mercenary, who was about to scream in fear at the sight of the wyvern’s rapidly expanding, hideous maw, could only trail off into silence.

Hooooooooooooo!

This was because I saw the wyvern, which had been roughly slammed down, lose its balance and flounder as it was pushed back by the strong wind that surged up from below.

From that moment on.

A typhoon began to blow over the mercenaries’ heads.

Wheeeeeeeeeeing!

Above the head, of course, did not mean directly above the head, but rather meant the sky above the head at a height that even if a white warrior stomped with all his might, he would not be able to reach.

However, the wind was so loud that it made an eerie sound that was vividly transmitted to my ears.

“Keeeeeek?!”

“Kiaaaa?!”

The wyverns were able to fly through most winds with their weight class, but the spiral vortex was no exception.

The wings and all were meaningless. The body was being pushed away while floating, so there was no way the wings could withstand it.

Kwaaaaaaaah!

A point in the sky designated by Galen. The magical power that revolves around that point.

The moment the starting point and ending point meet and connect, taking the form of a whirlwind, the true form of the spiral vortex is revealed.

A whirlwind that would never stop until all its magic power was gone greedily devoured the sky.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

Now the wyverns couldn’t even scream. No, it would be more accurate to say that they were screaming, but their screams weren’t being transmitted outside the vortex.

It spread its wings forcibly and they were torn to shreds, and even though it lost its wings, it could not fall. The wyvern’s heavy body was blown away like a leaf.

Then they collide with each other, bounce off each other, and then collide with other guys, and then they can’t control their bodies and flounder around and end up getting hit by their own tails.

Galen suddenly thought of Earth’s washing machines. The laundry spinning inside the whirlpool would probably be handled more gently than that.

“Uh, crazy… … .”

“What, what is that… … .”

The mercenaries inside the circle trembled, and the mercenaries outside the circle who were welcoming the evil spirits also kept looking upward.

Everyone knew whose work it was without any explanation.

Of course, among the less than thirty Silver-ranked mercenaries, there wasn’t a single one who was a magician. There were only a few who were Bronze-ranked, but if Bronze had become like that, magicians would have been worshipped as gods.

“You were a wind wizard?”

“I think I heard it was fire… … .”

“I, I saw it in the first village? Burning the evildoers to death!”

There was a brief moment of confusion, but the simple mercenaries quickly accepted that a good thing was a good thing.

What’s the big deal when those scary wyverns are rolling around like toys? No matter how scary the magic is, if it’s on our side, it’s a winner.

The wyverns, who should have been the vanguard that destroyed the garrison, ended up being sacrifices that further boosted the morale of the mercenaries. This was the atmosphere Galen had wanted.

‘I think this will suffice.’

Actually, I have to say that even if I wanted to do more, I couldn’t.

Even though the spiral circulation is right in front of the jewel, it is not a jewel, and the wyvern is an evil species that can easily be treated as a top-tier silver.

It is impossible for one gold player to unilaterally control fifty silver players. Gold is not that strong, and silver is not that weak.

This is a super-large technique that requires pouring all of your magical power into it and even borrowing the power of the stars, and will exhaust you after using it once.

Just like the giant clay doll I made by pouring all of the magic power of the Territorial Advance into it when fighting the Orc Wizard a while ago.

This was the crucial difference between Galen and other magicians.

A ‘normal’ wizard would never be able to gamble everything on a single blow, but Galen wasn’t all that.

“Just get out of here.”

Galen, who still had his arms outstretched toward the sky, muttered absentmindedly and lowered his hands, as if he were sentencing someone to death.

Wheaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

The vortex spat out a wyvern. It wasn’t just thrown out, a wisp of magic still held the wyvern by the collar.

The wyvern, already out of its mind, was unable to control its body and fell to the ground at the same speed it was thrown at.

Drawing a diagonal line not over the heads of the mercenaries, but over the heads of the evil spirits who were climbing the hill.

Kuuuuung!

The wyvern, which was not strong enough to survive until then, hit the ground and died instantly, and the evil creatures that were wandering around the place where it fell were either crushed to death or were blown away.

Galen, impressed by the excellent demonstration, immediately applied the same benefit to the other wyverns.

Wyverns flew in all directions, and each time they did, the evil spirits were crushed.

Boom! Kookook! Boom! Kookook!

When the spiral flow ended and the gale blowing in the sky died down, the wyvern’s cleaning was also complete.

If it can catch hundreds of fish by firing fifty, wouldn’t this be considered a top-of-the-line catapult?

Galen looked down at the ground, taking his gaze from the clear sky. He walked leisurely.

The number of those who rushed at the mercenaries and died as a result was in the thousands, and the number of those who were cut down by Galen and Lilia would easily exceed hundreds.

However, there were still a lot of evil spirits. This was because the three legions had merged. It seemed like there was still more than half left.

But it didn’t matter. I could start reducing it seriously from now on.

“Lilia.”

“yes!”

The answer came right back. Lilia, who had sent another evil spirit to the goal, lightly joined Galen.

The story was set in advance. Even without explanation, she knew what Galen wanted.

Galen stared ahead.

The magic power of the Vanity Flame drew out the power of the stars in place of the exhausted spiral gyre.

Kwaaaaaaaah!

A huge explosion occurred where my eyes landed. Dozens of evil spirits burst into flames and died, ripping a hole through the formation.

Galen gestured toward the freshly made, hot path.

“Let’s go.”

* * *

The addition of the three sisters did not completely mix up the legion.

Because of the nature of their ability to control demons by infusing their voices with magical power, if they were mixed incorrectly, interference would inevitably occur due to each other’s voices.

That’s why we decided to split the camps, with the second taking charge of the left army, the third taking charge of the center army, and the fourth taking charge of the right army, and attacking the humans from three directions.

That was the original plan.

As the third was seriously considering changing the plan, the second and fourth came to the central army first, taking only a few of the most important demons.

“You came at a good time. I was going to call you.”

“Is it because of that person?”

The third sister nodded to the second sister’s question. All the sisters, including the fourth, felt the same way.

The third one stared at the battlefield with eyes filled with displeasure.

I was momentarily bewildered by the wyverns that I had thought were a decisive blow and were swept away so pointlessly.

The flamethrower that had been the top priority began to advance.

No one could stop it.

Kwaaaaang! Kwaaaaang! Kwaaaaang!

The ceaseless sound of explosions was now heard from a place that could not be said to be very far away. That means the enemy was that close.

He was a crazy person in terms of both skill and personality, who only walked straight ahead and burned or blew up any demons that got in his way.

The momentum did not subside at all even after time passed, so the second and fourth stopped watching and came running.

“It’s fortunate that the wind-blown half-brother isn’t interfering.”

“Didn’t you use up all your strength? The technique you used to wipe out the wyverns was honestly on an unbelievable scale.”

“The problem is that the servants next to me are also quite powerful. There are only two of them, but they can’t even get a single bite… … .”

The flames of the half-widow were powerful but not delicate, so it was possible to use the dying demons as sacrificial lambs to make other demons approach.

And all the demons who approached like that were killed by the servant’s hammer.

In the first place, they were too strong to be considered a mere escort, considering that they had come this far alone.

“I was too swayed by those two. I should have fought them with my strongest force from the start and attacked the hill with the rest. There have been almost no casualties from the humans so far.”

“I don’t know. If that were the case, those two might not have left the hill.”

“Fine. It’s already in the past. Although it’s a shame to waste the demons, at least we’ve saved the magical and holy power. Aren’t those two worth more than the thousands on the hill?”

“Yeah. It’s not too late now.”

The three sisters have eight core demons in total. They are so rare that even if you wanted to control them, you couldn’t because they were invisible.

An ogre is a creature that can even eat a small amount of gold, and even a tauros or direwolf can match the gold.

Since the magical power of the half-blood that was used up on the way here will probably be enough to handle it, it is possible to predict the odds of victory.

“Go and kill those two.”

The three sisters sang. The demons moved majestically.

I wonder how those two will react. They are a little far apart, but close enough that they can recognize each other’s faces.

“huh……?”

Soon a wrinkle formed between the third’s eyebrows.

By now, you should have definitely spotted the approaching demons.

The humans neither despaired nor were indifferent.

The man was having fun, and the woman was having a blast.

I blinked a few times, thinking I might have seen things wrong, but in that short time, the expressions on their faces no longer mattered.

“What, what is that?!”

It seemed like the man was pulling the woman towards him.

The ground beneath their feet suddenly rose upward.

The pile of dirt that continued to rise eventually took on a human-like shape.

Of course, the size was not as big as a human. The clay doll was much bigger than an ogre. The two people were standing on the clay doll’s left and right shoulders.

The demons were somewhat embarrassed and their actions were somewhat slow, but the order to kill the humans was still valid.

“Wow!”

One Tauros, who was slightly more clumsy than his compatriots, bravely attempted to attack the unidentified monster.

First, like a bull’s head that is about to take a beating, it lunged headfirst into a clay doll that was larger than itself.

Kwajik!

A hole was made in the body of the clay doll where Taurus’ horn had forcibly penetrated. The impact spread to the surrounding area, causing a small crack to form.

That was it.

The clay doll, not being a living being and therefore not caring whether its body broke or not, just lowered its arm.

Phaaaak!

Taurus’s body jerked violently after being hit in the back of the neck.

Regardless, the clay doll’s fist struck Taurus once more.

Snap!

Taurus, with his neck broken, fell to the ground.

No matter how stupidly he was hit, Tauros was taken care of in just two hits.

At that moment, the direwolf that had been waiting for an opportunity rushed forward like the wind. Its leaping power was extraordinary.

Wisely, the attack was aimed at the man on her shoulders, not the clay doll.

Phew!

Unfortunately, it seemed that she had not even considered that the man was not the only one riding on her shoulders. The wolf, who had been hit hard by the woman’s hammer, flew into the air.

Kwaaang!

And then he burst into flames in midair and died. His charred body rolled on the floor.

The second son, who had been watching until then, spoke in a serious tone.

“Let’s step back.”

“What, what?”

“Let’s push in all the remaining demons and escape. We can’t kill them with our current strength.”

“Ha, but there are still ogres left… … .”

“My sister is right. I don’t have the luxury of watching until the end.”

The fourth one gritted his teeth and muttered.

“Can’t you see that half-ass is using two techniques at the same time? The flames are still there, and he’s even pulling the doll out of the ground!”

The third one, who had been hesitating, suddenly came to her senses. She had forgotten for a moment because Taurus and the direwolf had died so easily, but the fundamental reason she had been surprised was what the fourth one had said.

“Maybe even the wind from earlier was that guy’s technique. If you’re not careful, you might not be able to escape even if you ride a wyvern.”

“Damn it, how can a human… … .”

I was furious, but my sisters were right. I had to give what I had to.

There were three wyverns left that had been set aside for riding. The three sisters quickly moved and picked one out to ride.

The wyvern flapped its wings. The demon’s body floated into the air.

That was the moment.

“Ah, in front!”

The second one shouted urgently. The third one reflexively looked forward.

The servant who had clearly been on the clay doll’s shoulder just a moment ago was now running at a terrifying speed.

The demons who were supposed to block the road with their bodies were unable to do anything.

Because the servant was running through the air above the demons’ heads.

“What is that?!”

“Scatter! Scatter!”

In a scream-like cry, the three wyverns each turned their heads in different directions.

But there was no way the wyvern, which had just begun to flap its wings, could gain its speed.

Phew!

Before the flight had even begun in earnest, the servant arrived and mercilessly beat up his first prey.

“Fourth!”

“I told you to run away! Hurry up!”

The third screamed at the sight of the fourth flying away in a blurry shape. The second screamed.

Even the wyverns, feeling an extreme sense of crisis, flapped their wings like crazy.

Even so, it was only a matter of time before he was caught. Soon after, the second one also died after being struck by a merciless hammer.

Only the third wyvern managed to gain acceleration from the time it took for its younger and older sisters to be attacked.

“Ahhh, ahhhh!”

He was alive, but he was not happy at all. As he turned his back on the rapidly receding battlefield, the third shed tears of blood.

“I’ll kill you… I’ll definitely… kill you―”

“Me?”

The voice full of sticky curses was cut off by a clear voice.

Before the third one even properly recognizes the fact.

Phew!

Her body, shocked to the point of shock, bounced off the wyvern’s back.

The body that had been floating for a moment soon began to fall down without warning.

“If you keep doing that, you’ll look like a pitiful victim.”

The last thing I heard in my rapidly fading consciousness was the servant’s taunt.

“On the subject of the perpetrator.”
