Magical Academy: Rise of the Supreme Magic Craftsman

Hilda watched Wallace and the Celestial Being finish off all the Imperial Soldiers while also holding off the combined forces of the Mech Frames.

She saw how the two beings forced the fight into close range to limit the Empire's Mech capabilities…

'Incredible… This is no longer within the limits of Mana Spells.' 

She just saw the Celestial stop the Psionic Pulse heading their way by waving its hands. Though they couldn't see the destructive pulse with their bare eyes, Avalon had detected it and warned them of this attack.

Boom! Boom!

Several Mech Frames dropped to the ground and exploded as they lost control after being attacked by the Celestial. 

These Mech wouldn't normally explode even with Mana Spell attacks so they could easily tell that the Celestial's attack is indeed very different from them.

"There are still more… Just how persistent are they… They should be retreating by now."

"That's true… There aren't even any Mech's trying to escape…" She was a bit surprised since the Nuclear Explosion that Wallace triggered just a moment ago should've destroyed their formation and killed almost half of them at the same time. 

To see them still fighting with high morale baffles them a bit. 

"Are they waiting for something? There shouldn't be any reinforcements coming at this rate." Hilda muttered but after giving it some thought, she can't really say that she could predict the Empire's actions. 

They are too focused on mining the Memory Crystals. If she's the leader of these invaders and has powerful soldiers under her command, she would surely try to eliminate any threat that may come at her before mining these things. 

"Leader! There are Mech Frames flying over 20 thousand feet above us… They must be planning something."

Stella heard one of her subordinates and he was indeed correct. There are about 20 Dragon's Warrior Mechs above them and they seem to be the patrol group that is guarding the perimeter of the camp. 

They have obviously returned as quickly as possible after the Nuclear Explosion. 

"Hilda. I'll let the Mech Frames above to your group. This is going to be a sky battle and way different from your space battle so be mindful of your mech's limits."

Wallace reminded them out of worry since he wasn't sure whether they have enough experience yet. Anyway, he had just come out of the sea city so he wasn't really entirely aware of the recent battles that have occurred. 

"Of course! Don't worry about us, Sir Wallace…"

Hilda then ordered her group to reactivate their Arcanist Phase to face the Dragon's Mech Frames. 

Beep!

[ Incoming Missiles Detected. ] 

Avalon then warned them about the tens of missiles sent on their way. It seems that these Mechs realized their plan. 

"Radiant Wave Shield… Activate."

Whom~

As soon as they activated the special feature of the Radiant Mech, a red wave that formed a perfect shield appeared in front of each Mech Knight.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

It managed to successfully defend against the missiles and they were not even pushed back at all as they approach the Mech Frames with a fast speed.

"Charge!"

Hilda then started pointing her Mech's Laser Rifles to the enemies creating a beautiful blue line directed at the enemy position.

The Laser Rifles are of course from the same principle of the Laser Focus that Wallace has patented before. Each shot from the Rifles dealt heavy damage to the Mech Frames as they were even unable to activate their Subspace Blaster!

As soon as they have gotten near, they had to start fighting in close range as they drew their swords and staves.

Unlike the Mech Frames' weapons, Hilda and her group are actually using large Mana Artifacts at the level of at least Grade A or B.

They were certainly tough enough to destroy the Mech Frames even without infusing it with their own mana…

"Do not mind their Subspace Blaster! We are already too close, just hit them quickly!"

"Alright… We have activated our Arcanist Phase anyway… Nothing to worry about."

Luckily for them, those Mech Frames with Twilight Armor System have already self-destructed and have been dealt with by Wallace and the Celestial already. It means that it would be easier for Hilda and her team to destroy these Dragon Mechs. 

As of now, normal Grade 3 or 4 Magic has no way of even scratching the Empire's Twilight Armor. It is something that was infuriating for the Magicians but they already expected this at some point.

After all, when they played the Alien Invasion where the Dorssia  Empire was the invader, they have already been made aware that there are alien techs that they could never defeat with their current abilities. 

***

Hilda and her group continued battling the Mechs in the sky for more than fifteen minutes before she suddenly received a message from Wallace.

"We'll help you… You can retreat now."

Hilda didn't say any more words as she lead the retreat after only destroying four Dragon Mechs. It is quite an embarrassing result of their charge but they are still quite satisfied considering that these Imperial Pilots have perhaps more than a decade of experience in the aerial of Mechs.

Bzzzt~

As soon as they started descending to give way to Wallace, she suddenly heard Avalon's warning followed by a sound of the electricity accumulating behind them.

Before she could even understand what was going on, they all saw a lightning bolt striking and destroying a couple of Mech Frames at the same time!

It was Wallace's Lightning Break!

The powerful spell was so strong that it almost blinded them. Thanks to the filtering capabilities of their Mech Knights, they avoided getting blinded by that strike and saw the next event…

The Celestial Being appeared in their midst and controlled a mystical blue and red energy piercing the Mech Frames. 

Hilda had previously thought that the Celestial's power is all about an invisible force that he could control by his mind. However, it seeing the manifestation of energy made him realize that the Celestial is quite similar to Wallace who has an unknown form of energy living inside his body.

"Alright… We have to hurry… Ace and the rest are waiting." Wallace announced in their private channel.

"They're waiting? I heard that they set off to kill the remaining Space Beast? Are there any problems on their side?" Hilda asked as she landed her Radiant Knight on the ground. 

"No. We will continue our momentum and end this war. This will be the final stage… Or Avalon called this as the Third Great Offensive."

The man chuckled a little as he communicated with the Celestial and relayed his plans.
