Episode 715: The will to unite (3)

“hmm?”

Salesin made a sound without realizing it due to the unfamiliar sensation.

The identity of that feeling was a sense of crisis.

Crisis? Is it possible for you to feel in danger?

Salesin’s gaze naturally turned to Ludger.

Salesin felt a strange feeling as he looked at the sight of the wounded palm being held out in this direction.

I didn’t use magic, nor did I struggle to open the blocked heavenly gate.

He just cut his hand and sprayed blood into the air.

That was all, but Salesin felt something was wrong.

At least the Ludger he knew was never the kind of person who would do such a meaningless act.

There was a reason for every action.

‘Something is coming.’

The moment when Salesin completed his preparation by further strengthening the divine power around his body.

A huge heat source was felt beyond.

It was red lightning that cut through the dark clouds and pierced Galaharad Fortress.

Gurgling!

Because it flew faster than sound, an ear-piercing noise rang out only after the red lightning struck.

Clinton’s eyes widened at the sight.

That red lightning was a strike that seemed simple at first glance, but the elements that made up magic were packed with so elaborate and complex techniques that even a 7th rank magician found it difficult to guess.

Moreover, the source of the magic was so far away that it was impossible to guess.

The fact that he couldn’t detect it even with his excellent magic detection ability meant that he had to assume that it had at least come from outside the island.

‘Is this 8th level magic? Was he alive!’

A smile of joy appeared on Clinton’s lips.

Not only did he witness the legendary magic with his own eyes, but the fact that the being he admired so much was still alive made his heart beat.

Just as Clinton, a 7th rank, recognized the aesthetics of magic contained in blood vessels, 6th rank wizards also had something to offer.

“Wow, crazy… … .”

“This is magic? What on earth… … .”

Caroline and Elisa couldn’t close their mouths with faces filled with shock and admiration.

The same was true for Sedina, Casey, and Marias.

Even to the magicians of color, this magic felt like the essence of magic that they could not even dare to imitate.

There was no need to mention its power.

The red lightning struck and left nothing behind.

The joint magic between Sedina and Casey that imprisoned Salesin also disappeared without a trace.

Red flashes flashed hundreds of times per second to the point where it hurt my eyes.

The air rang with just the noise of lightning, and the entire space vibrated.

There was no smell of something burning.

In the face of overwhelming firepower, even the smell completely disappeared, leaving nothing behind.

It was a level of magic that literally created an empty space.

But surprisingly, despite such transcendent magic, Salesin did not die but was alive.

“This was honestly dangerous.”

For the first time, the smile on Salesin’s face was gone.

Despite all the attacks, Salesin, who seemed fine as if he existed in another dimension, received the first real blow.

The robes on his right arm were completely burned away by lightning, and his fully exposed right hand was also full of burns and small wounds.

Grander’s magic was so effective that even he, who was capable of recovering from all sorts of wounds, could not recover easily.

“okay. Jinhyeol’s vampire remained. “I thought he was an empty shell, unable to do anything because his soul was damaged, but I never thought he would have left behind this secret weapon.”

If I hadn’t prepared for the shock because I felt uncomfortable seeing Ludger’s actions, I would have suffered a more serious blow.

But Salesin did not die.

I suffered a major injury to my right arm, but at this level, it will recover naturally over time.

“On the other hand, you threw away the most important card here. “You didn’t finish me off with that, so what do you plan to do now?”

Salesin asked, frowning at Ludger.

Everyone held their breath and watched Ludger’s reaction.

Ludger was standing still and staring at Salesin.

I wanted to say something, but he reacted as if he were a stone statue.

The person who felt a slight sense of discomfort was none other than Clinton, who was the highest ranking person in the magic hierarchy.

“Now… … .”

Clinton realized that Ludger was not glaring at Salesin.

It was true that they were looking in the same direction, but what Ludger saw was something completely different.

He was now following the reverberation of magical power with his eyes.

Only then did Clinton realize that the magical power still clearly remained around Salesin.

‘No matter how powerful the magic is, the reverberation is this deep and lasts this long?’

Something was strange.

The next to notice the abnormal phenomenon were the color wizards, who see the world from a different perspective than others.

In their eyes, the traces of magical power engraved in the air after Grander used them looked like manuals kindly left for someone.

To be precise, it is the blueprint that makes up this magic.

How to use it and how to unfold it.

It was so deep that you could feel the kindness of the person who used the magic.

‘A blueprint.’

Casey didn’t deny the example that came to mind without realizing it, but he couldn’t help but have doubts.

That’s an 8th level magic.

No matter how kindly the instructions were given, there was no way I could follow them.

If everyone in the world taught magic and implemented it as it is, there would be only archmages left in this world.

In the end, talent mattered.

In particular, the reality is that there are only a handful of people with the talent to rise to the level of a great wizard, even if you look around the entire continent.

But Casey Selmore suddenly remembered a man.

Isn’t it true?

A man with incredible talent that cannot be guessed.

After crossing countless lines and training to the limit, he has grown to a point where it is difficult to estimate his depth.

Everyone’s eyes turned to Ludger.

Hwareuk.

A shadow appeared on Ludger’s body like a flame.

The shadow that instantly engulfed his shoulders starting from his toes eventually gathered on his outstretched right arm.

Chii Iik.

Even though he was Ludger, this was a different case, and his palms began to burn.

But Ludger did not stop.

Constructing spells, concentrating and rearranging magical power, and endlessly overusing the brain.

Is it because I put together hundreds of pages of complicated blueprints and circuits in my head using only mental calculations?

I felt the bitter taste of blood in my mouth.

But Ludger did not stop.

It was a terrible process that felt like my mind was splitting apart and my head became mussed.

Still, I didn’t give up and kept going and finally completed it.

Salesin, seeing that scene, widened his eyes.

“That’s impossible.”

This was Salesin’s reaction when he saw the mass of black flames on Ludger’s right hand.

“You can’t believe you’re using magic that goes beyond your rank. “That is realistically impossible.”

“Have you forgotten what magic I use?”

Ludger smiled bitterly at Salesin.

“It’s difficult for me to construct this using only techniques according to the rules. So I added a little trick. “I added a little bit of ancient magic that works with just faith, belief, and miracles.”

If Ludger’s magic was one giant puzzle, his magic would have been in a sloppy form with several teeth missing.

The shortcomings were simply filled with expedient methods.

However, that does not mean that the 8th level magic will fade.

Even if it was created in an expedient way, the 8th rank is still the 8th rank.

“this… … !”

Salesin pulled out the sword of light in his right hand and tried to swing it.

However, right after, he felt a stinging pain in his hand and belatedly remembered his wound.

‘That vampire!’

Are you taking advantage of this situation in the meantime?

Salesin’s arrogance, which he thought would never be hurt as an absolute being, was what held him back at this moment.

The subtle delay in response gave Ludger the opportunity to use magic.

“Anyway, take this too.”

8th tier original magic.

[Dark thunder]

A black flash engulfed Salesin.

* * *

Silky lightning split the sky, extending beyond the clouds and echoing throughout Bretus.

The soldiers who were doing maintenance on the shore as the sea water receded stared at the scene with dumbfounded expressions.

Following the red lightning, this time black lightning struck.

I couldn’t imagine what was going on in that Galaharad fortress.

Even if I went back to my home country and told this truth as is, people would not believe me.

“What on earth is going on over there?”

Queen Catherine, who participated in the crusade under the pretext of supporting the Allied Forces, looked up at Galaharad Fortress and muttered.

I don’t know what’s going on.

All I knew was that there was that man inside.

‘I don’t think you are the devil. There must have been something going on.’

Ekaterina was in a healthy state and had not been brainwashed.

It appears that the leaders of many countries were brainwashed, but some, including Catherine, were not.

It was thanks to the priests.

Salesin sent the priests to use the power of brainwashing, but the priests did not listen and only pretended to use the power of brainwashing.

The priests could not refuse Salesin’s orders, but they could act at their own discretion if it was the order of the person who corresponded to him.

And of course, it was Catherine who gave instructions to the priests to just pretend to brainwash them.

It’s not that they weren’t completely brainwashed, but they were cleverly made to follow Salesin’s orders with only a very faint pretense.

Thanks to that, Catherine was able to go to the battlefield after hearing all the facts.

‘Nothing will change if you worry like this.’

Her role was to establish a defensive line here and prevent the Allied forces from advancing.

The overwhelming army of Cryptids soon began to decrease in number and soon became invisible.

Therefore, there was nothing for those left behind to do, and they could only pray earnestly and wait.

In fact, some soldiers were kneeling in their seats and praying.

Ekaterina looked at them with pity.

Do they really know?

The person they respect and serve so much actually treats everyone except themselves like insects and wants to rule over them.

‘Be sure to win.’

So, let’s pray at least for ourselves.

Towards the man who is continuing his fight more fiercely than anyone else.

I hope that only peace remains on the road ahead.

* * *

Ludger’s magic had a huge impact.

There was a hole so large that the outside scenery could be seen beyond the cavity.

Tuk.

Salesin’s burned right arm, which remained in the air, fell helplessly to the floor.

Only his right arm was injured by Grander’s magic, but this time, everything disappeared, leaving only his right arm.

Salesn was a person who broke away from the laws of the world, but the 8th rank was also a magic that surpassed laws and principles.

It was enough to become a sharp spear that reached his heart.

“Write it. ha.”

Ludger was breathing heavily.

Cold sweat ran down my entire body. In order to use a single spell, he really had to exert all his might.

It was such a painful process that I wondered if this was really possible, but I was very satisfied when I saw the result.

“Heh, heh. “I never thought I would see the 8th level magic so close in my lifetime.”

Clinton let out a laugh.

“If this is the case, should I call you Archmage?”

“It’s a burden, so just call me normal.”

Ludger said while catching his breath.

When I looked at my palm, I saw a terrible burn. It was a wound caused by not being able to completely control the lightning, but in the current situation, even this was willing.

It was a natural reaction, as the blood leading to the next level had been opened.

“Finally, did you win?”

“oh my god. “I still can’t believe it.”

Even those who survived responded that they could not tell whether this was a dream or reality.

Still, it was a time when I felt relieved that it was all over.

Ludger narrowed his eyes at the strange sensation that shook his mind.

‘what?’

Anxiety washed over him like a tidal wave.

Now that Salesn has fallen, there shouldn’t be anything left to worry about, so why?

Ludger’s gaze was directed at Salesin’s right arm, which had fallen to the floor.

It was almost at the same time that the arm wriggled as if it were alive and pointed its finger in this direction.

“Avoid everyone!”

As soon as Ludger’s warning was issued, a huge light erupted from Salesin’s right arm.
