Episode 242 – The Great Mage’s Pride

The Red Legion and Hwanung’s summoned beasts clashed.

Styx’s magic, now gradually coming together, split the air.

Phage, phage, phage!

His lightning magic moved forward quickly like a horizontal bolt of lightning.

[Analyzing… … .]

Data sent by the crumbling Rubinos forces.

The composition of mana, its conversion, and how it attacks, what are the principles… … .

All of those things were entered into Hecate’s head.

It was such a highly developed system that even the heavens proposed cooperation.

Kwaaaaang-!

The clash has begun, and the false queen has made her move.

She began swinging her sword with flashy movements.

“Kuaaak!?”

“This guy is no joke!”

“That’s… our swordsmanship!?”

R-rated swordsmanship or sword techniques used by warriors were displayed at Hecate’s fingertips.

And that’s not all.

A truly advanced swordsmanship that perfectly complements even the weak points has been demonstrated.

Even though she was a dummy, she was a being with all the powers of a queen.

No ordinary summoner could stand in her way.

There were screams and N-rank summons were summoned back in droves.

I guess one person will have to take charge of marking that.

“Godric, can you stop that guy for a moment?”

“Of course.”

Godric, who received the order, moved immediately.

Lucas was the best at capturing enemies, but he’s not here now.

Now it was Godric’s turn to take up the role of steadfastly blocking the enemy’s attacks.

“What should I do, my lord?”

“I’ll ask you to start by cleaning up the surroundings. While you’re at it, analyze that guy’s behavior from time to time.”

“All right.”

Narae was given the task of sweeping up the leftovers.

Since we also needed time to figure things out, we decided to solve the problems one by one in order to come up with a plan for victory.

Time passed relentlessly, but I believed that Behemoth and the Guardians would endure it.

[Analysis Subject: Grey Apostle Godric]

[We begin to analyze against each other.]

“Well, they are truly mysterious. On the other hand, it also seems like cheating.”

Godric muttered to himself and created a blade of light.

The weapons previously received from the Waterloo Mountaineering Club are now starting to be used in earnest.

Kwaaang-!

The attack and defense were so fierce that Hecate’s new form was forced to retreat.

Unlike Godric, who stood firm, the fake Hecate, who was pushed back by the mass, could not hold out.

But that was only a one-time thing.

The fake Hecate immediately moved, and the bodies of several Rubinos machine soldiers disintegrated.

[Strengthens physical strength.]

[Creating an auxiliary arm.]

“Wow, this is so annoying.”

A queen with such fraudulent abilities that she could be used as the main character in a novel.

Clang, clang, the self-disassembling machine soldiers transformed into new parts for the Queen.

Clash again.

Kwaaaaang-!

This time, Hecate’s body was only pushed out a little, proving that she was making up for the shortcoming in a short period of time.

Godric gradually increased his power to capture the fake queen, while Gina fired her magic in the meantime.

“Where did my sister go-!”

[Call Lightning]

Kwajijijijik-!

A pure white lightning strike aimed at Hecate, who had moved away from Godric after the clash.

But then something amazing happened.

[Intercept]

[Mana Release]

The descending lightning turned into mana particles and was cleanly dissipated.

Gina’s body froze for a moment, surprised by the fact that the 5-circle magic, Call Lightning, had been instantly destroyed.

Surely this isn’t the result of that analysis?

[Target: Gina]

[Magic analysis completed.]

“Huh, these kids are just going to let me see… … .”

Gina’s face distorted at the fake Hecate’s words, which came out as if they were a mechanical voice.

Sticks, who knew her choleric personality well, spoke to her slyly.

“Gina, you know that a wizard must always be calm.”

“Haha… … Of course. But, right now, my pride has been seriously hurt!?”

“… … .”

Sticks sighed softly, knowing that he couldn’t stop her at a time like this.

I’ve been telling you to fix that since you were little, but you’re still the same.

Now that she was at an age where it was difficult to scold her, Sticks thought he would just have to help her with her actions.

Passing by, his eyes sparkled and he gathered more mana.

Yeah, I know.

Up until now, I’ve only handled mana according to the formula, and used magic only as it was written in the magic book.

‘But, if you’re a great wizard, you can’t do that, right?’

He is called a magician because he walks the path of magic.

And the fact that it has [?] or [Grand] in front means that it is a magician of a higher level.

Since Jinna thought of herself as such, she honed and studied her abilities to that extent.

Wouldn’t someone be called a great magician if they could control their mana at will?

“I’ll test how well your analysis works.”

Phage crackle-!

Gina prepares the same magic this time.

However, it added other properties than pure lightning magic.

This is what it means to handle mana.

“Mr. Godric! Please do this again!”

“hmm!”

Godric raised his auror again to push away the charging Hecate.

The weaknesses of those with excellent learning ability were very clearly revealed.

If you press and hold it before you can learn it, its existence will disappear.

But the reason Hwanung didn’t do that was because he was feeling Jinna’s feelings.

I guess this is work necessary for growth.

Because I felt that if I just stamped out that fake queen here, Gina’s growth would also be delayed.

That’s exactly why I wanted to cook it step by step.

‘Show me, Gina. How much you can grow.’

Hwanung felt Jinna’s anger keenly.

And I believed in her extraordinary genius.

Kwarrrrrrung-!

Clearly, pure white lightning struck, but the mana that made it up was clearly different.

Hecate hurriedly reached out and began to analyze.

In a split second, analysis and dismantling of mana occur.

[Mana Disintegration]

[error]

[The composition of mana is different.]

Kwajijijijik-!

The fake queen, who was engulfed in pure white lightning, collapsed and knelt on one knee.

“How dare you touch the pride of a great wizard… …?”

Hmm-!

Gina snorted and started weaving her magic spell again.

What mana composition should I attack with next?

Let me guess where it is.

“It looks like a replica made in the image of my sister, but my sister’s talent wasn’t all that great.”

[Analysis… … in progress… … .]

Phage crackle-!

Gina’s eyes gleamed fiercely.

Even in anger, he remained cool-headed.

Rather, the emotion of anger served as fuel for faster and more sophisticated magic.

‘I was seeing things wrong.’

Seeing Gina like that, Sticks was convinced.

He is under the summoner Hwanung, and is now an emotionally mature magician.

It could be said that not losing one’s composure is the first virtue of a wizard.

Because magic is like a work of art that must be created perfectly in any situation.

“I’ll help too. Let’s test out what we’ve researched together.”

“Okay, Master.”

Who became a better wizard?

Who conceived a more efficient magic?

Since I happen to have a living test subject, I plan to experiment with magic to my heart’s content.

There was a faint emotion in Styx’s eyes as well.

It was an emotion he would vent on Rubinus, who had dared to insult one of his disciples.

While the fake queen was blocking Hwanung on the ground, he was also facing a new formidable enemy in the air.

Instead of a giant transport ship modeled after Behemoth, a giant weapon that can attack on its own has appeared.

It looked as if it was modeled after a dragon.

The fluttering wings released a great deal of mana, lifting the heavy body into the air.

Although it was clearly a machine, the power it felt was comparable to that of the Guardian.

Nia stood on top of Behemoth and laughed.

“This is really too much. When did you make and prepare something like that?”

It seemed like he knew why Manus had sent him here.

If such things were being mass-produced, they would soon flood countless worlds.

It will come as a huge disaster, just like what happened in his own world.

‘I have to stop it.’

As Nia watched the giant weapon slowly approaching, she heard the voices of Nergo and Behemoth.

[Is that a guardian?]

[No. It’s probably something made like a guardian. It steals the guardian’s essence… ]

A formidable foe that makes Behemoth tremble in fear.

However, Nia showed her competitive spirit and Nergo showed his fighting spirit.

“If you deal with things like that, your skills will improve a lot. I’m looking forward to it.”

[I will work hard too. There is a reason why I have to absorb the Guardian’s power!]

[Everyone… … .]

Behemoth was reminded of those who were now his former comrades.

The sight of them confidently heading towards the battlefield overlapped, and I instinctively tried to dodge.

[Above, it’s dangerous, wouldn’t it be better to avoid it? We just need to buy time… … .]

[We can’t just run away forever. We came here to fight.]

“Yes. I don’t know how hard your comrades fought or how they died, but in order to make their deaths worthwhile… … you must win no matter what.”

How long are you going to run away?

Behemoth wanted to run away in fear, but it was already too late to escape.

Because the things chasing him were attacking from all sides, and the speed of that giant weapon was very fast.

“You just focus on evasion and survival. It’s not that hard, is it?”

[… … .]

“We’ll take care of the rest.”

[Koooooooooo-!]

I heard a roar that rang in my ears.

Everyone was tense at the loud noise that was either a roar or the sound of a machine running.

At the same time, Rubinos’ troops landed on Behemoth’s back.

[Behemoth identification.]

[We will move to attack Behemoth’s reverse scale.]

[Fierce resistance is expected.]

Behemoth with near-infinite defense.

Only by finding and attacking its only weak point, its scale, and extracting the essence within it could this powerful guardian be brought down.

The giant weapon [Artificial Guardian] that was created was only used to hold Behemoth back so that he could not escape.

“Coming.”

“Yeah, I’m ready anytime.”

And Lucas and Miho, who are guarding Behemoth’s scales, have finished preparing to face the enemy.

If this place is breached, everything is over.

So, we must protect it unconditionally.

[Okay, please take care of it!]

“I will protect this place with my life, Guardian.”

Lucas raised his sword as he looked at the approaching enemies.

A golden aura emanated, and [Guardian Defense Battle] began.
