Chapter 75

on the day of the raid.

All of them were magicians, and a large group of 2,100 people climbed the stairs.

“Ugh, when will it end… … .”

“I heard that when we first built our tower, we climbed the stairs.”

“No, then what about the Tower of Truth? Is it up to the 15th floor? Even the higher the floor, the higher the nobles, right?”

“That’s why there are many nobles who refuse admission and go to Sorus in Liden. I heard it happened in two years.”

“Hey, at that time, the Ridens are a bit useful.”

There were no elevators, so just climbing the 15-story high barrier accumulated considerable fatigue.

“What, why stop?”

“Take a break for a while.”

“I will live for a while… … .”

Aindarok’s wizards also fully understood that part and took a break in the middle.

It wasn’t until now that they were trained, because when they first climbed the stairs, their circumstances were no different.

Eventually, they climbed over the barrier and went to their assigned seats. There were also some students who deliberately approached the edge.

“It’s really ridiculously high.”

“Hey, that’s a bit scary.”

If you look down, it’s dark.

It was much taller than the Tower of Truth, one of the tallest buildings in the empire, so it was a scenery you would never normally see in your life.

[30 minutes until air raid time.]

Coltman’s voice sank.

The students were organized into groups of three, the same as the existing organization.

Set the order as 1, 2, and 3, and the wizard standing at number 1 uses magic until the shift command is given. It was a simple way.

[To power position.]

About 900 wizards of Aindarok and about 1,200 students were mobilized.

700 wizards lined up three times in a row on four fan-shaped walls facing the north also deserves to be called a spectacle.

Unless there is a war, there will never be a gathering of wizards of this size.

I am confident in this historic moment.

For some reason, the students felt that their hearts were overflowing.

“It is quiet.”

It was said that up to 100,000 monsters were attacking, but the distant horizon was just silent.

“I heard from a soldier here that an air raid doesn’t necessarily come just because it was announced.”

“Are you going back halfway?”

“It’s like one out of three times. The monsters are so selfish.”

“I wish I had.”

“Ah, I’ve come this far, but I have to use magic.”

“right. Then there’s no reason to even train.”

“Who is responsible for our second semester grades?”

“If that happens, can I get a reward?”

Thirty minutes is not a short time even for a chat.

On top of the barrier with no place to sit. Students quickly got bored.

“When are you coming, by the way?”

“First of all, I’m most curious about Mage Derek’s magic.”

“Can I see the 8-star magic?”

“Of course you will! When else would I use it?”

“It was like that in training. Power distribution is important. You may not use it.”

“You still don’t want to see it?”

Time passed honestly.

Someone’s wish came true.

“Oh, what do you see!”

“Are you coming now?”

One of the students shouted as if he had discovered something.

After a while, it was clearly visible to everyone standing on top of the barrier.

“Wow, that’s a lot.”

Until the smile disappeared from the face of the student who playfully made the shape of a telescope with his fingers and looked ahead.

One minute was enough.

“… … Some of that.”

“Isn’t that too much?”

The weather is sunny, and there is no forest to the north, close to the barrier, so you can see far into the distance.

Other students began to respond one by one. I can see some black spots. I’m flocking

It just didn’t feel real because it was so far away.

“Ugh.”

[Ten minutes ago.]

Few students noticed that the wizards of Aindarok were keeping their mouths shut.

But now, even the students were able to read the heavy atmosphere on their faces.

“Ten minutes ago… … ?”

It seems like a black wave is rolling in.

If only it was a wave. After one rush, it would be frequent.

The black waves don’t stop. It pours endlessly beyond the sight.

10 minutes ago.

It must have been only three minutes since the monsters came into sight.

The far-flung army is advancing, gnawing away at the distant land.

until the battle begins.

There are still 10 minutes left.

“Me, over there. Wizard.”

“why.”

“How many do you see right now?”

A female student asked the wizard of Aindarlock who was standing next to her. The eyes of the students nearby were all at once.

It’s the twelfth time he’s been on top of the barrier. It was not difficult to estimate the number.

“One thousand five hundred.”

“One thousand and five hundred, iyo… … ?”

The army of monsters fills the horizon and overflows, as if filling the vast field black.

only one thousand five hundred

[Eight minutes ago.]

It seems slow when you’re far away. The closer the distance gets, the faster it seems. Several large individuals were roughly visible from a distance.

[Five minutes ago.]

Left and right are unrecognizable, and over the horizon they are still gathering, just like 10 minutes ago.

[Four minutes ago.]

The night sky seemed upside down.

Black waves pour as if a dam had burst.

The knights and soldiers of the outpost were blocking the front.

“Nonsense.”

“How can you block it?”

A form that seems infinitely helpless.

How many pieces of paper can you block the pouring waterfall? Even the word reckless was not enough.

Some of the students standing in number 1 started to walk backwards.

“This isn’t it.”

“I can not!”

Somebody turned around and threw it away.

[Do not break ranks.]

“Don’t fuck! This is suicide!”

“Me too!”

In an instant, a commotion spread.

Coltman said no more, and the wizards around didn’t catch the student.

It was because there was an order not to forcefully hold on to the wizards on the barrier rather than bumping into each other.

However, what was waiting for the students who hurriedly ran towards the exit without being restrained.

“What is it, you bastard!”

“Move!”

A first-year male student standing on a closed exit heading downward.

It was Frid Rapid.

‘According to your lord’s word.’

It was confirmed that there was only one left and one on the right side of the stairs, and that the student who climbed the right aisle last was Ainim von Longert.

“You should go back to your seat, sir.”

“I can’t hear you say Vicky!”

[Three minutes ago.]

“okay. If you want to die like that, you should die first.”

“Hey, wait!”

Staying here is nothing but dog death. There was nothing to see. What if my crab is blocking the exit?

The student raised his magic power.

“”Wil Tro Le Dura Tas”!”

3-star magic 「Wind Wave」.

I blew all three-star magic at people. Even with the 1-star magic 「Wind Blade」, you can easily kill at least one person depending on your skill level.

If it was a 3-star magic, it would definitely be torn to shreds. A short scream erupted from among the students who were watching.

“What, what?”

Whirik.

The magic that had been flying with furious momentum disappeared without a trace.

The opponent didn’t even lift a finger, let alone a step, so I wondered if it was cast incorrectly.

“I told you that you should return to your seat.”

“profit!”

Fred repeated what he had said.

Once more. The student cast the same spell and threw it away. The result was the same this time too.

the bewildered student exclaimed.

“You, what are you doing!”

“Wake! Are you guys just watching? Everyone dies!”

“Hey freshman, I don’t know who you are, but you better get out of the way!”

“I-I don’t know!”

This time, four spells flew at once. Even if you use defensive magic, you can’t block it. Even if he avoided it, it was already too late.

However, neither the hot fireball nor the sharp blade of the wind touched her.

Freed didn’t take a single step and kept his place with his arms crossed.

From the perspective of the students who cast the spell, the ghosts were about to weep.

“Eh, if the magic doesn’t work… … .”

Would it be possible to push with force?

The student who took a step forward immediately recognized that the idea was wrong.

Wizards are usually small in stature.

Although he may be born with a height, he does not do much physical activity, so he basically lacks muscles.

“I told you to return to your location.”

Freed Raspeed is different.

Her body, which had been constantly trained by the trauma of her childhood, was quite different from that of a magician.

From broad shoulders to thick forearms and log-like legs. The gaze goes down, down, and eventually crashes into the ground.

Learn to be humble.

“Bar, on the other side… … !”

Only then did I realize that there was another exit on the other side and turned around.

“What is that again?”

“It’s blocked that way too!”

It was visible from afar. Blazing fire engulfed the exit steps.

I don’t know how the barrier made of stone and iron was burning, but one thing was certain.

There is no way out now.

[100 seconds. Prepare for battle.]

Coltman’s still plain voice echoed through the barrier again.

“Everyone is insane!”

“Yeah, where did everyone die together!”

While grumbling, the students went back to find their seats.

“… … Whoa.”

Frid then took a deep breath.

I pretended to be okay on the outside, but I didn’t know that the 3-star magic would come out of nowhere.

When several magics flew at the same time, it seemed that the hairs on his body stood on end. If Rockstrin hadn’t practiced properly, the body wouldn’t have remained.

‘First of all, that’s the biggest problem, so if you just block that, you’ve achieved half of it.’

Rockstrin said well begun is half done.

The raid must begin with all students in position.

‘What should I do after that?’

‘After that? I don’t know. I’m busy doing what I can.’

‘Is that so.’

‘It depended on what the other students were doing. I can only hope that he will take care of himself.’

From then on, he said he couldn’t predict what would happen to him.

Frid returned to his original seat not far from the exit.

Frid’s turn was number 3. Looking ahead, I see a female student who is trembling as if she is about to collapse at any moment.

If you broaden your horizons, there are not just one or two students like that.

[30 seconds.]

「Fireball」, 「Blister」, 「Bulge」, 「Wind Blade」 every 3 seconds.

Repeat 3 times until Mage Derek’s magic is complete.

He complained that he kept practicing simple magic and uncomplicated sequences. There was a reason for that.

“Uh, uh… … .”

since when

Overwhelmed by the monsters that filled her vision, the girl’s head turned white.

“Fireball”, I don’t remember.

“Prepare the [Fireball]!”

Doo doo doo!

The trembling of the earth is growing.

In addition to the threat of sight, the senses of hearing and touch covered the entire area as a huge tidal wave. That’s how I practiced timing and power exactly.

[20 seconds.]

100 seconds ago, after entering ‘battle preparation’, it is strictly prohibited to speak unless it is an urgent reason.

If he forgot the magic chant, that would be an emergency situation as well.

Even he hesitated.

It felt like my legs were losing strength.

It was then.

“Rama! Mea! Tas!”

Suddenly, someone from behind screamed at me to break my throat.

It was clear that his voice, as if he was screaming with all his might, could be clearly heard even from the distant barrier.

Frid shouted again.

When Rockstrin is done with what he can do, he does what he can.

“Prepare for battle. shut up!”

“There must be no one who doesn’t know!”

“This guy!”

A nearby wizard hurriedly grabbed Frid by the back of his neck.

I will definitely be punished later, but does that matter? Fred grinned, covering his mouth.

The students’ trembling stopped.

[Ha ha ha, yes! Rama, Mea, and Tasda, you idiots! Prepare to cast!]

[…] … 10 seconds.]

Derek’s signature laugh echoed across the barrier. The heads of the students who briefly looked back also turned forward.

Magic power boils.

[Battle begins.]

““Rama Mea Tas”!”

““Rama Mea Tas”!”

““Rama Mea Tas”!”

700 “fireballs” soared into the clear sky at the same time.

drawing a perfect straight line.
