Chapter 1247 – 1247. The Dark Moon
The celebration of the 82nd anniversary of the founding of the country was held in a new town development area a little away from the capital. It must have been a ulterior motive to publicize the new city by aiming for the 82nd anniversary event to be broadcast on TV.
Well, the place where the commemorative event is held is on the outskirts of the new town.
Unit 667, to which I belonged, had to stay in the dormitory all the time except for a brief moment during the morning rehearsal. Even if people already know, Unit 667 was an unofficial unit. Of course, the Battle Mage project that Unit 667 is working on cannot be disclosed to the public.
Under the instructor’s control, we sat on chairs and watched the broadcast of the commemorative event in a daze.
Several countries are expected to attend the celebration. Starting from a small city-state with a population of less than 1 million, the diplomatic corps of the Republic of Hafeil, which is currently under truce, the Heist Empire, which currently possesses the strongest power in the world, Divine France, and Neo London attend. First of all, the diplomatic corps that attended were splendid.
What I paid attention to was the Heist Empire.
This country, known as a robber, is notorious for gangster diplomacy. All other countries are criticizing the Heist Empire. Lately, I’m on the quiet side due to internal problems. The motif of Heist Empire is modern Germany.
‘According to the contents of the original game, the Kaiser must be slowly declining as he repeats the purges.’
The Heist Imperial Diplomatic Corps was seen on TV. He is wearing a black military uniform.
‘50% of the reason why the original newbie player chooses Heist Empire is because of that military uniform.’
The camera mainly focused on the blonde woman.
‘Bridget. I never thought that woman would attend the celebration.’
She is a woman with radiant blonde hair and blood red eyes. Throwing her black coat over her shoulders, she looked all around her with her arrogant eyes.
And the camera eventually turns towards the sky. An airship with a red cross of the Templars on its surface flew up and landed on the ground.
The door of the airship opened and the Divine French diplomatic corps appeared. All are dressed in black and wear red cross badges.
In the center was a woman with long green hair. It is a hairstyle that covers her left eye.
Divine One of the Divine Saints of France, Patron Saint Martha. She is wearing a black suit. She wore a tight-fitting jacket and pants. A glimpse of her upper chest and pelvis is visible. She oozes an aura like a mafia boss somewhere rather than a saint. A red cross badge is attached to her black jacket.
She had a cigarette in her mouth as her camera was filming, quite naturally.
‘Not only her appearance, but her personality is far from that of a saint.’
After she gets into the luxury car, the screen moves back to the sky.
Haha!”
With a lively laugh, London’s number one sword, Puck Shibal, appeared. The mechanical horse he rode was galloping through the sky. He is wearing full plate armor to match his horse, and has a greatsword on his back. His brown bobbed hair is blowing wildly in the wind. He was a pretty handsome middle-aged man, just by looking at his face.
He is a member of the Neo Round Table, the highest-ranking institution in Neo London, and is London’s first sword, Puck Shibal.
Watching the broadcast, I felt a strange feeling. Because in my memory, they were just NPCs. The NPC is moving as a human. They are exhaling from the same sky. I suddenly realized that I was in the world of the game.
Afterwards, the King of the Kingdom of Freecell appeared and began his speech. He is a middle-aged man in his 50s who has little impact compared to Brigitte, Martha and Puck Fuck.
“Now, the full-fledged celebration will begin.”
Said Instructor Vinubis, who was sitting nearby.
The celebration was splendid.
Thousands of soldiers marched through the city with tanks, displaying firepower as dozens of tanks opened fire simultaneously. Then, a splendid performance by a world-famous idol girl group followed.
He boasts of a new weapon that he painstakingly made, and gives medals to nobles who have made some achievements. I can bet my right wrist that those medals were made with money and connections.
“Rooms 31 and 211. Get ready. It will be your turn soon.”
Number 31 and I got up from our seats. First, I checked the outfit and put the mask on my face. As for weapons, he took a pistol, a knife, and an attribute sword.
After finishing our preparations, Unit 31 and I followed Instructor Vinus to the training ground. It was close to the playground.
After being guided by a soldier, Unit 31 and I walked to the center of the training ground and looked at each other.
“We are installing broadcasting equipment. It won’t take long, so please wait.”
Onlookers slowly gather. Kings and nobles are not visible. They want to see it on TV, not in person.
It was rather fortunate for me. Being close to tall people is too burdensome.
Eyes met with number 31. She looked more serious than ever. No. 31 will sincerely engage in this Dalian. I had to give her a decent fit and defeat her.
‘… Even so, I can seriously work on it until the first half. Even so, I have no intention of showing any level 4 or higher magic.’
I simulate how the 31st will come out in my head.
‘No. 31’s main specialty is wind attribute magic and taijutsu with a focus on mobility. The fighting style is very aggressive. Kill before you get hit It’s a feeling.’
Officially, excluding the instructors, the strongest in the unit is No. 31. She had her fighting talent.
“Preparations for broadcasting are complete. Members of the Magical Special Forces, prepare for battle… Announcer!”
“Yes! Shall we begin?”
A beautiful announcer came running from behind. A skirt that was short and tight enough to show her thighs, and her voluptuous bosom. She was a popular announcer these days.
She was a bit different from the announcers I knew based on my common sense, but she was an announcer that was pleasing to the eye anyway.
“Start!”
Said the camera director. A red light came on the camera he was carrying over his shoulder.
“Hello viewers! This place is a bit far from the venue….”
After the announcer’s short explanation, the camera comes out and takes a picture of #31.
“There will be a combat demonstration by two members of the Magical Special Forces!”
Right after the announcer finished speaking, Instructor Vinubis’ voice was heard from the mask.
– The battle begins.
It was No. 31 that struck first. She lifted her right arm up as she raised it. A strong wind that can be seen with the naked eye gathers over her right palm. And in an instant, flames rise up around them and mix with the wind.
Double casting. It is also a magic of wind and flame attributes that are compatible.
‘It is within the expected range.’
Spread of flame through wind. She wants to rule the space first.
I couldn’t stay still. I responded in a similar way to #31. Open Astral and calculate the formula.
[Air ball]
I use the 3rd grade wind magic that No. 31 used just before on my palm. The wind gathers. Of course, this alone is not enough.
[Torrent]
Transparent water is mixed and compressed in the air ball.
As the 31st attack came, I also threw the prepared airball. Two airballs hit the air and exploded.
Flames and water spread in all directions along with strong winds, fighting for territory. In the aftermath, pure white steam spread thickly like morning mist. This is not a normal phenomenon.
‘Maybe they’re holding back the steam with magic.’
The broadcast will look fine. Cameras in this world are more powerful than expected, so steam is not a big problem.
Attacks are flying towards me. It is a window made of wind. The shape of the wind is clearly visible thanks to the water vapor.
[Barrier]
After blocking the attack with a barrier, he took out a pistol and pulled the trigger 3 times to the point where the attack came from. Three bullets pierced the steam and extended. There is no sense of being hit. I didn’t expect much, so I’m not disappointed.
[Detection]
He spread mana everywhere and used detection magic.
I held my breath. Two on the right, one in the front, two in the back. A total of five reactions were detected. It was disturbed by using a second-class magic, decoy.
‘You’re going to keep fighting in this steam?’
It was as soon as the words were over.
Bang!
An air boom rose next to me with a heavy drink. The barrier that protects my body is shattered. As I stepped back, I used the barrier again. In the aftermath of the air boom, some of the steam dissipates, and Unit 31’s purple hair appears briefly before disappearing.
Quaang!
This time, an air boom occurred from the rear. The barrier broke again. I activated the barrier again as I should have. Maintaining the barrier was the basis of a battle mage.
‘This is enough. Now let’s fight back.’
As the steam slowly dissipated, the approximate location of Unit 31 was revealed. It is most likely a decoy, but there is no problem. Anything in doubt should be attacked.
He opened his left hand wide. Grip support. Electrical current flashed from the center of the palm.
[Electric Whip]
A whip of blue lightning is swung around and strikes the figure of number 31. In-young disappeared without a trace. It’s a disco I rotated my body and swung a lightning whip right next to me.
There was a response this time. The whip collided with No. 31’s barrier.
‘Explode.’
Pop the electric whip. This isn’t magic, it’s using my superpowers. Well, from the viewer’s point of view, it will look like magic.
The electric whip exploded, and thunderbolts spread in all directions. Water vapor disappears I saw No. 31 wearing a mask running towards me with a knife in his hand. A barrier is superimposed on her body.
‘Are you planning on fighting melee?’
It’s not bad. It is difficult to maintain barriers in close combat. There will be no need for useless power struggles.
Other ordinary wizards would call me crazy, but I and No. 31 are battle mages. The preparation for close combat is, of course, made.
Kiyin.
A blade of wind emerges from #31’s knife.
I put the pistol in my hand and pulled out my knife.
[Water Blade]
A long blade of water emerges from the short knife. The blade of water was moving at high speed, increasing its cutting power.
Originally, it would not engage in melee combat. Because of my dull body, I have no talent for melee combat. Among my peers, I am the worst at close combat.
‘Usually, at times like this, I actively use magic to widen the distance….’
I must lose this battle.
Therefore, in close combat, you will be moderately defeated.
‘If I use magic a bit desperately, it won’t look like I’ve been defeated on purpose.’
Fortunately, I was confident in acting.
Issue 31 is approaching. The blades of wind and the blades of water collide.
Aaaaa!
A huge explosion sounded out of nowhere, and I and Unit 31 stopped the battle at the same time. The place where the sound of the explosion came from was the place where the king and other distinguished guests were gathered. That meant that something outrageous had happened.
“Terror! Some madmen committed terror!! Scoop! What are you doing, announcer! Get ready to move right now!”
The cameraman exclaimed. It was a voice filled with maddening joy.
