Chapter 258
Episode 258 The thing called mana (1)
Henea and Prelia, who tried to ask for cooperation from the military, but were rejected at once, eventually headed for the hill by themselves.
However, when they arrived, it was right after the battle between the army and the monsters had already taken place.
Faced with the monsters, their movements became busy.
Under the command of the centurion, the tens of commanders command their respective soldiers.
“Get your display ready! Small monsters are left to the avant-garde, and the rear guard is to take on the large monsters!”
“Never scatter! If you fall, you die!”
“yes!”
With a spirited spirit, the avant-garde soldiers lifted their spears.
Chaeeng-! visor-!
With that alone, considerable resistance was formed, and the charging monsters met their deaths as they were pierced by spears.
“Queueek!”
“Kiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
Despite the screams that seemed to scrape the vocal cords, the soldiers did not get scared.
It can be said that it is a very well-trained army.
As a centurion, she raised her sword with her own hands.
“Shoot the arrow! The rear guard attacks the monsters in the back!”
As soon as the words run out, the arrows leave the demonstration.
An arrow shot out with a terrifying sound pierces the body of the monsters and takes their lives mercilessly.
It’s fighting pretty well against hundreds of monsters.
If things go on like this, it doesn’t seem impossible to annihilate them one by one.
However, as large monsters took the lead, the battle situation began to change little by little.
A rain of arrows couldn’t inflict enough fatal wounds to knock down an ogre, and since the following trolls were ignoring their bodies and attacking, maintaining the display was daunting enough.
The soldiers who struggled with their shields were swept away by two or three by the ogre’s arm, and the remaining soldiers had to take their place.
Eventually, the Ten Seals grabbed their shields and swords to block the vanguard.
“Don’t be pushed! If the front line is pushed, the display collapses!”
Even at the lower end, is a commander a commander?
The situation got better as he kept his position and pressed the monsters.
As the confrontation between the army and the monsters continued, Henea and Prelia intervened.
Grab your sword and join the battle line.
“I don’t know who it is, but I’ll say hello later!”
To give command or to deal with monsters.
The hectic chieftains spoke without turning their heads, but instead of answering, they nodded once.
Thanks to the joining of the two dhampirs, they were able to block it somehow.
Whenever they had time to spare, they glanced at the hill once.
‘At this level of numbers, he must have died…
‘
Something heavy came from a corner of my heart.
At least if the three of us had fought at the time, we would have endured even a little longer.
With that thought in mind, the hand holding the sword became heavier.
The priests took turns pouring divine power.
“Give me the power of life! Heal!”
“Heal!”
Bright energy gathers and heals wounds.
However, the pace was very slow.
If it continues like this, the first thing to do is to stop breathing.
Had there been a priest or chief priest, this situation would have been avoided, but unfortunately, there were no priests here, let alone experienced priests.
So, when the priests gathered and tried to use recovery magic, there was a limit.
Compared to the wound, the recovery is slow, so my breath is getting weaker.
As if responding to him, the monsters drove their momentum and pushed in.
As the number of large monsters increased, it reached the point where it could no longer be blocked.
Not only the soldiers, but even the decembers withdrew little by little, and the rear guards also could not maintain their formation.
“Keueueueugh…”
“Captain Bae, the damage will increase if things go on like this. It’s better to retreat now…”
Her eyes trembled at the words of the Ten Commander.
Carrying it will open the wounds and leaving it alone will bother me.
‘What should I do?’
As a commander, leaving it behind is the right choice.
It is impossible to leave a hero who sacrificed himself to stop the monsters one by one.
When she is at a crossroads of choice.
The vibration that started from one side of the battlefield gradually grew and began to fall to the ground as before.
When resonance occurred with a huge flow of mana, the soldiers’ attention was focused while dealing with monsters.
Someone stepped out of the center of Mana.
Brilliantly white hair and blue eyes like a lake.
Did God make the sculpture himself?
Its graceful body moves gracefully, bringing a sense of heterogeneity like a flower blooming in a bloody battlefield.
“Eh elf…?”
“…What kind of nonsense is transfer magic…”
The eyes of the Ten Seals and soldiers opened wide.
“Kuaaa!”
Seeing the sudden appearance of a woman, an ogre threw out an angry arm.
Then Aira waved her hand as if to drive away flies.
With that light movement, a group of monsters exploded like balloons at once.
Chow-!
Blood splattered everywhere thanks to dozens of monsters turned into meat, but not a single drop of blood was visible on her body.
She looked around, then hardened her expression as if she had found something, and flew towards the hill.
They occupied the distance in an instant and approached swiftly, but no one in the army could stop them.
Whether the soldiers peeked at her appearance or not, Aira’s interest was only in the young man in the white mask.
Even if you put on a mask and a cape, you can’t fool your own eyes, nor others.
How did it come to be like this?
She urgently cast a healing spell.
Powerful mana rushes in and caresses Ray’s body as if kneading it.
“Recovery.”
When the highest level of healing magic, which says that only a saint can use it for a short time by borrowing the power of divine power, his body began to change into a normal state as if time were turned back.
Severed flanks and penetrating wounds in the shoulder.
Even the fractures of the abdomen and legs are recovering.
Her feeble breath returned to normal, and her pale complexion turned bloody.
Only then did Aira feel relieved and draw a magic circle in the air.
The magic circle that was drawn at high speed soon became magic and swallowed Ray.
Uh-uh–
With a resonant sound, teleportation magic is manifested and moves him somewhere.
After safely carrying Ray to her bed, she murmured coldly.
“…I almost lost my friend the same day I lost my friend. hybrids.”
Along with the horse, the monsters everywhere exploded due to excessive mana.
Kwaaaang—!
The sight of the monster’s corpse fragments flying around reminded me of a map of hell.
Aira’s anger was great.
What would have happened if he hadn’t come?
I don’t know, but maybe I’ll never see his face again.
Besides, what about the appearance of nature trampled by monsters?
There is not much difference between the life of a tree and the life of a human to an elf.
Considering all life equal, I was angry at their merciless slaughter.
The angry heart soon became Mana and responded to her call.
I didn’t use any magic, but the group of monsters were forcibly crushed by mana.
Even Ray, when the mana load was fine, had swallowed his saliva, pushing the enormous mana as it was, and not long after, over two hundred monsters were scattered as a handful of ashes.
Everyone in the army, including the centurion, opened their mouths as they looked at the monsters that had literally disappeared without a sound.
After tidying up her surroundings with a single gesture, she turned her back as if she had finished her work, and the centurion summoned courage and spoke up.
“…thank you for your help…
.”
“By the way…if it doesn’t bother me, may I ask where you took the man?”
Baekjang also doesn’t think she will harm Ray.
I don’t know what kind of magic it is, but it’s supposed to be quite high-ranking magic, and it’s a special relationship enough to restore the body to its original state in an instant.
Aira’s expression wrinkled slightly as if she felt something from him.
“I don’t need to know.”
With one word left, her new face disappeared like smoke.
* * *
When I opened my eyes to the pleasant fruit scent, Ira was watching with her chin resting.
why am i here Looking at her face, she opened her mouth.
“This time, it almost got into trouble. Didn’t I tell you before It’s better not to overdo it with your current physical condition.”
Judging by the slightly protruding shape of her lips, she must have been quite worried.
“sorry. When I came to my senses, I was already surrounded. Leaving it as it was was a situation where the town of Billo would be destroyed.”
It is said that the feeling is still extraordinary, but the gap between when you use mana and when you don’t is significant.
Even monsters that would have been wiped out insignificantly before had to be dealt with with all their might.
“It’s good to get rid of the habit of thinking about others first. Shouldn’t you be there before others?”
“I will be careful in the future.”
“Whoops. You can trust me this time.”
He leans his head on his shoulder while talking.
She, who was purring like a cat and expressing affection in the middle of it, quietly opened her mouth.
“By the way, a monster of that size. There must be someone controlling it from behind.”
“It’s a similar situation to when I was in the Holy Kingdom before. In particular, the appearance of invading nearby villages while commanding monsters is very similar.”
Perhaps it was the work of the same person.
At that time, I inadvertently missed it while dealing with the Necromancer and the Bone Dragon, but if this was also the work of the same criminal, it seemed necessary to find it.
In the worst case scenario, there are more than two necromancers in mind.
The Bone Dragon was summoned in the middle of Selonia, as well as the demons that were entangled in Proxia.
If you think about it, each one is just weird.
“The monster tamer is a troublesome guy. If we gather monsters and attack the territory little by little, the small kingdom will disappear within ten years.”
“I guess so. Still, it would be fine if it was the Kingdom of Celia.”
“If we leave it as it is, there will be many things to do. But your body won’t be able to move freely like that.”
“….”
Instead of answering, I looked at her and Aira smiled cutely.
“To do that, you need to regain your strength.”
At her words, Ray shook his head.
“I tried, but no progress at all. Even if I tried to make a mana rod from scratch, there was no response.”
“Once lost, the mana rod cannot be restored again. But the key is ‘use of mana’ not ‘recovery of mana rod’. To put it simply, as long as the mana can be used again, the means are fine.”
Having said that, it must be that there is a way.
When I got up from the bed and straightened my posture, Aira raised her eyebrows.
“It will be difficult, but you can get it back. It will be a completely different flow than before.”
“Mana is everything. The kind of desire that makes you want to think or sleep is also possible with the help of small mana, so to speak.”
That’s a pretty complicated word.
As I tilted my head, Aira continued.
“To put it bluntly, the will you have in your heart can also be said to be the flow of mana. So it can be seen that all living things are using mana knowingly or unknowingly.”
“Then that means…”
“It is to make the mind itself into a mana rod. It’s a fluid method that the great tribes used a lot in ancient times. Originally, if you were an ordinary human, you wouldn’t even mention it…
”
“I think it is possible if it is you who I have seen so far.”
