Return(3)

“Who would have guessed that this would happen?”

Mason, the Master of the Magic Tower, muttered in a dejected voice.

‘Tower owner, please prepare for the attack of the demons.’

‘attack? To Abanrat?’

‘Yes.’

One day, he came to see him and said with confidence.

‘The Witchbeast will hit this place soon.’

He didn’t even believe in the spoils the demons gave him.

Because he understood their disposition to the deepest depths, he knew how to doubt even the victory he had won.

He foresaw the attack of the monsters, and even knew that there would be an ambush behind the main unit that had advanced.

“Isn’t this just a prophet?”

It’s not just about knowing witchcraft well.

The booty was the bait, he foresaw the demonic attack, and he knew everything about the distribution of the troops to attack.

This is beyond the meaning of stratagem.

It would be right to call it ‘prediction’ rather than prediction.

Rather, it would make more sense to say that a spy was planted on the Witchbeast side.

“How is the charter?”

“You’ll know when you see it. They say you’ll win easily.”

Next to Mason was Renoir.

Yujin Kang’s position is tactical officer.

The power of his title was so great that it moved even the elders.

He laughed cheerfully as he watched the Spider Tribe being pushed back by the Allies.

“This is true. The more I look at it, the more amazing it is, right?

“Cluck. I must have opened the lid of the emperor’s head.”

Until now, it was considered that the tactics of the witches were controlled by the ‘Emperor’.

The emperor’s tactics are notorious for their subtlety and meticulousness.

It wasn’t easy to even predict, let alone parquet.

However, Kang Yoo-jin was one step ahead of the emperor’s strategy.

As if he knew exactly what he was thinking.

“I’d believe it even if it was the emperor himself.”

“No matter how dark the world is, that’s beyond speculation.”

“Heh heh heh.”

Looking at the battleground where victory and defeat were divided, the two old men simply laughed.

*

The return of Kang Yu-jin completely turned the tide of the war.

The rift disappeared and people’s power rose rapidly.

Even the tactic of pulling the stage to be achieved in the future was effective.

All of the people gathered here are people who have reached or are about to rise.

Having brought the future of such talented people, not only their power rose exponentially, but they were also able to boost their morale.

Because there is no great person in the world who would not like to enjoy seeing himself grow up.

“This can’t be…”

Ouroboros couldn’t believe it.

It was a plan I thought was perfect.

When he heard the emperor’s edict, he thought that there would be no such perfect strategy.

But Kang Yoo-jin.

A guy like that wall window will finally destroy even that strategy.

If you look at that figure, you will even have a disrespectful thought that his strategy is ahead of your master’s.

“…Is it really the human who captured the two corps commanders?”

I had no choice but to admit it.

At least with this expedient, Kang Yoo-jin could not be killed.

There is only one way to kill him.

The only thing you can do is to attack it head-on with overwhelming force.

If so, there is no need to hesitate.

As he started to move, Yujin Kang pulled out a revolver and pushed Laniakea back.

“I’ll take care of this.”

“Yes? But it’s too dangerous to deal with the corps commander alone.”

No matter how inner-dimensional, Ouroboros is strong.

It would be difficult to hope that the good fortune of catching Balthazar would work this time as well.

Furthermore, Kang Yoo-jin now lacks magical power.

There were mountains of concern, but he only responded with a faint smile.

“Trust your apostle.”

“·······.”

A voice full of trust and goodwill.

Faced with that, Laniakea lowered her head.

“…Yes. I believe.”

She thought Kang Yu-jin was concerned about her power.

It must be that Raniakea wants to release her power and prevent Avantrat from collapsing.

Just as he was blaming himself for not being able to help despite his strength, Kang Yu-jin grabbed Laniakea, who withdrew.

“Please wait with all your strength. There will soon be a situation where you will need to step in.”

“I… am I going? But-“

“You don’t have to worry about Avantrat. Probably, you won’t even have time to do it.”

It was a meaningful statement, but Kang Yu-jin did not explain further.

It was a truly disrespectful attitude to the Constellation, but Laniakea accepted his words without saying anything.

Sadly, he always gave Raniakea good advice.

“be careful.”

“Yes.”

She backed off, and he accessed the sympathetic nervous system.

The person you are looking for is Adeline.

To her, who was looking for him, Kang Yu-jin gave a command ahead of greetings.

Perhaps that will be the winning strategy.

「Prepare the amount of Imae Mango」

*

-DDDDDDDD…

“·······.”

I was quite surprised, but the reply that came back was an alien language.

It seemed like he was asking roughly where he was, but he didn’t have time to give a leisurely answer.

I urged the opening of the sympathetic nervous system, and instead of answering, she obediently connected the nervous system.

The sympathetic nervous system of the Balaur.

“You’re going to fight me alone, do you want to die?”

“None of the guys who said that in front of me killed me.”

The sympathetic nervous system of the Balaur was connected, and he took out a revolver and gathered mana.

The chamber rotated and the circle began to emerge.

My revolver went through a step evolution as it was exposed to the magic of time and space.

The exact performance still needs to be evaluated, but according to Skadi, the ability to draw vast magical powers of space and time has been added.

If so, the lack of mana should also be covered there.

“”come””

The son-in-law is engulfed in the widening shadow.

I could feel the forest holding its breath, and the being lurking in the abyss opening its eyes.

Did you feel that it was not serious?

Ouroboros led a huge body and charged towards me.

It was an unbelievable rapid speed for a body comparable to a mountain.

Breaking and crushing forests and rocks, the serpent that invades opens its mouth wide.

A mandible glistening with fangs shot out to devour me.

The moment the mouth of the guy who had reached close to me hung over my head and tried to swallow this place whole.

A shadow rose.

─────!!!

A dragon emerged from the shadows and bit the snake’s neck.

Diablo’s shadow, resurrected by this madness, pressed down on Ouroboros, ramming his huge body at random.

The ground overturns and the rocky mountain collapses.

While biting him, a huge demonic energy condensed inside Diablo’s mouth.

Destruction created by the mixing of light and heat.

Diablo’s ‘Dragon Breath’ shelled Ouroboros’ body from zero distance.

aaa!!

A huge flash of light and an explosion take away all five senses.

Diablo’s beams mercilessly swept the whole area, including Ouroboros.

The one who had been burned by super-high temperatures comparable to that of a star lifted his battered body and let out a powerful roar.

“Kyaaagh—!!”

Ouroboros’ yellow eyes radiated a radiance.

The intense movement of demonic energy suggested that it was a harbinger of something.

In the blink of an eye, I reconnected to the human sympathetic nervous system and inquired about his technology.

The pattern of boiling demonic energy and the yellow flickering eyes.

Perhaps it was a famous technique, Laflis and Roshua, who had read the situation, delivered the answer.

Its name is ‘Evil Eye of Destruction’.

A wide-area skill that Ouroboros possesses, it is a demonic eye that turns all targets within its field of view into ashes.

Gathering information several times faster than a second, I immediately responded through Diablo.

“「Protect me」”

It was a judgment that he believed that his durability would withstand that.

However, Diablo rattled and did not move.

Its mighty ego is rejecting my control.

「────」

His thoughts increased their momentum to consume my consciousness.

Indeed, the consciousness of the corps commander was fatal, even if it was a thought.

I grabbed his aching head and suppressed his consciousness with mental control.

I squeezed the revolver, which was already hot, and subdued Diablo at my feet.

“… be careful.”

Enduring a shattering headache, I suppressed his ego with the power of ‘domination’.

The guy who started listening to the command again spread his wings and wrapped himself around the people behind him.

Shii-i-i-!!

Everything Ouroboros’ gaze touched turned to black ash and crumbled.

A wave of ashes hit this side, and Diablo’s wings that blocked it blazed up.

If left as it is, the wings will all burn.

He hurriedly gathered his mana and concentrated it on his revolver.

The magic power of the revolver is already being used to implement Diablo, so it is only slightly useful.

The recent spell meant that most of it had to be covered with my magic power.

“Kuh…!”

My heart complained of a sharp pain as I tried to forcefully roll the circle that had already been scratched all the way to the floor.

I endured it, and squeezed out every last drop.

There is only one magic formula, only the rune of [Diffusion] is engraved.

I buried the magic of time and space that rejected all interference into the bullet, engraved a rune of diffusion, and triggered it.

bang!

Thin traces of the spectrum cross the air.

Brilliantly colored bullets pierced the skin of the thin wings as they thinned and touched the demonic eyes of destruction.

Kwaaang!!

Light broke out in the jet-black ashes.

The magic power contained in the bullet spread forward along the ‘spread’ rune.

The magic of time and space that refuses to interfere will be able to scatter all external forces by itself.

And as expected, it was seen that the spread spectrum pushed away the power of the demonic eye of destruction, even for an instant.

I couldn’t completely annihilate it, but that momentary break was enough for me.

「Establishment of the formula」─

It reverses Diablo’s magical structure and constructs a new expression method.

The high heat of the breath is converted into a wave form, and the power of the demon’s eye is repelled with the area intact.

“Analysis” “Expansion” “Amplification”—

Innumerable runes interlocked to form a camp.

Just as he was about to abuse the Circle once again to deploy the newly created conversion technique, someone else’s magic intervened via the sympathetic nervous system.

“Because it was you who taught me the sympathetic nervous system?”

It was Skadi’s thought that contained a pinjan.

She read my spell through her nervous system, and before I was able to scrape it off, she used her own magical power to ‘replace’ the spell.

The revolver aimed forward contained the spell that Skadi had drawn.

“thank you”

After giving a short thank you, I pulled the trigger towards Diablo’s wings.

bang!

At the same time as the flash of the impact flashed, Diablo’s breath powerfully hit the wings.

aaa!!

The breath transformed into a shockwave destroyed the power of the demon’s eye in one fell swoop.

The fan-shaped waves burned all the monsters, including Ouroboros.

Of course, this is not the end.

Modify the previous spell and remove the remaining runes except for “Amplification”.

Then, in the vacant place, the spells of [Penetration], [Destruction], and [Extinction] were inserted.

It is truly an amplification technique with one-sided firepower.

If you are a normal Dragon type, it is so powerful that your neck will be broken by the recoil as soon as you shoot it.

But Diablo didn’t care.

It was just a shadow that brought the dead back to life anyway.

Geee-

Mana gathers, and its four legs stand firmly on the ground.

In front of Diablo, who stretched his neck out and took a perfect bombardment stance, the magic circle of the magic formula I created came to mind.

This, too, was my spell developed by Skadi.

No, this time there were several people besides Skadi.

“This is Roshua. I will help.”

“Do you know that pretending to be cool by yourself is a little uncomfortable?”

“You guys! Don’t take away my role!”

In turn, it was Roshua, Laflis, and Skadi.

They, in turn, worked on the structure of my magic formula, adding their own magical powers.

“···under.”

They say they are like wicked people.

Did you already use it?

I laughed out loud, but from the point of view of teaching, it was more about being proud.

Feeling that a corner of my heart was strengthened, I focused on the goal in front of me.

Beyond the ashes that rose thickly, I glared at Ouroboros, who was preparing for the second attack, and raised his hand to point at him.

“”Shoot””

With those words, the bound demon is released in an instant.

aaa!!!!

A gigantic light beam extended in a straight line, repeatedly amplified by the magic formula, pierced through the fog of ashes and shot out.

Across the moment, the light that reached Ouroboros at a distance cut off his waist with the ultra-high heat and light.

The legionnaire’s hard scales and fabric burned and melted as he let out a scream of pain.

“Kyaaa namesa namesake!”

the snake falls

At the same time, Diablo’s neck bones cracked as he fired his breath.

It could not withstand the recoil of the breath that had been amplified to its limit.

The neck breaks and the body collapses.

The trajectory of the breath curved along the collapsing body, and it hit the hillside rising in the center of the island, scraping the ground of Abanrat roughly.

Then, it pierces the ridge as it is and blows it away.

In the place where it was swept away by the destructive high-temperature storm, only the land where everything evaporated above the shore remained.

“ha···.”

dizzy.

The condition of the body was unreasonable.

I fell to the ground as if I was tumbling down, and Laniakea accepted me.

When I turned my head, I saw Diablo’s huge eyes rolling on the floor looking at me.

「I will not forget」

His thoughts left such a curse and returned to the shadows.

After that, Ouroboros’ huge body collapsed, and the battle ended like that.

“Laniakea.”

“Yes. Please tell me.”

Ouroboros has fallen, and the imminent threat…maybe gone.

So, now I was able to ask the question I had buried in a corner of my heart.

I feel like the only person who knows is her.

Despite my awkwardness, I asked a question.

“‘The Trial of Ascension’…do you know what it is about?”

For a moment, she took a deep breath.

It was a sharp breath that was clear even in my hazy consciousness.

“…Laniakea…?”

The reaction is a little different from what I expected.

Doubts arose, but it was difficult to maintain consciousness any longer.

It’s like asking a question first and then passing out… As an apostle, I have no face.

I felt the sound of her heart beating exceptionally loud.
