Chapter 254 – Marquis of Kilias – 5
“Then shall we start again?”
A meeting that began under the name of the Marquis Kilias Countermeasures Meeting.
Now it’s just a marquise bullying.
Charleuk!
Looking at the map spread out at the temporary base, Count Harry pointed out where we had raided so far.
“We hit several times with the aim of reducing overall power.”
The purpose is to reduce power.
It is the depletion of magical power that will ultimately be offered as a tribute to the Marquis.
“Although it’s ambiguous to call it an effective blow.”
He smiled bitterly at Count Harry’s words.
A strategy to target magical power holders only in areas where Marquis Kilias is not present. If a Marquis appears at the same time, withdraw immediately.
The first was a gamble.
Of course. There is a possibility that even Count Harry, who freely flies in the sky, can catch up with the Marquis of Killias, who uses mighty magical power. Still, it wasn’t a low-win gamble.
“Big stakes. Or else, I thought you were weak against mana control, seeing as you only used your own power.”
In fact, the acceleration that occurred in a short time was dangerous enough that even Count Harry could catch up.
Avoiding it is a zero-gravity maneuver that ignores gravity like the cobra maneuver. After catching the Marquis of Kilias, who was quickly moving away, he immediately turned around and succeeded in escaping.
Although Marquis Kilias has high instantaneous speed, he succeeded in escaping with exquisite control because it was a flight that gained momentum only with power, not magical power specialized for flight in the first place.
Of course, even so, there were no dangerous parts, so I, who had been preparing in advance and concentrating my efforts, set up a strategy to hit the chasing Marquis Kilias and run away.
Through several raids, he conceived an operation to find clues to the attack of the Marquis of Killias.
Attacking the castle took a toll on the military power, and obtaining information from the marquis was the basis of the strategy, so if it was successful, it would be considered a success.
However, the consumption of Count Harry and the Cloud Knights was intense on this side as well.
“So.”
I turned my head to Count Harry, who looked at me with a tired face and asked.
“Do you think you can win?”
“Hmm…”
Pure power.
If we narrowed the scope to violence, the current Marquis of Killias could be said to be the strongest.
Well, I’m saying this because I haven’t seen King Bastien’s sincerity.
And once the results are derived from the information obtained, as for the odds…
“It’s not that there is no win rate.”
“… Whoa. Good luck.”
Seeing Count Harry breathe a sigh of relief at my words, he smiled wryly.
It’s not nonexistent, but I can’t say it’s big.
It’s the first time in practice.
“Step. I can’t do it alone.”
The already lacking win rate becomes even slimmer.
Even if I fight 10 times, I think I’ll win at least once or twice, but it’s better to prepare as much as possible before fighting.
“When do you think we will arrive?”
“Considering the distance, we will arrive soon.”
He nodded and looked at the map.
Location of the next raid. Rather, we deliberately patterned our movements. So that they can judge for themselves that there is a high possibility of raiding here next time.
“Then there must be a high possibility that Marquis Kilias will appear.”
“You can just pretend to be an attacker according to the strategy and get out of there right away.”
I said, looking at Count Harry, who nodded at my words.
“This will be the end.”
The Marquis of Kilias, who uses the power of all magical powers in the East.
In other words, if you stop defeating them, Dongbu can be easily subjugated.
“Then let’s begin.
It is the subjugation of the Marquis of Kilias.
* * *
Quadduk!
As if a hole had been pierced in the sky, a red stake was driven into it.
Hundreds of piles pouring out like missiles.
A relentless attack as if targeting space itself.
It looks great and it does, but it’s inefficient.
Normally, controlling and guiding them one by one would save mana efficiently and have higher killing power.
Can you do it or not, or can’t you?
“I knew you would come! You stupid bastards! I’ll hit you and kill you this time!”
Putting that aside, Count Harry and the Cloud Knights, who were prepared for the appearance of the Marquis in advance, began responding immediately.
“Alpha turn!”
Seeing the counts spewing blue magic and spinning in a beautiful orbit in the air, the stakes of the Marquis of Kilias radiate even more.
A Marquis who ignorantly exudes mana, but seems to be playing with toys in a leisurely manner.
He clicked his tongue as he looked at the Marquis of Kilias, who still couldn’t let go of his arrogant attitude.
I know that attitude is possible because he is in the position of being an overwhelming force, but it is too ungodly.
When my father sees it, he will click his tongue just like me and say that he is disgracing the nobility.
Well, if it were my father, he wouldn’t like the idea of absorbing blood and mana by imprinting it in the first place.
“We do not miss this time!”
Although there was no damage, Marquis Kilias raised his voice to Count Harry, who seemed to be escaping safely from the air defense of the piles.
Aaaaang-!!
The Marquis began to fly using the overflowing crimson mana as a driving force.
No, it’s more like a launch than a flight. As soon as they saw the shock waves and roaring noises around them and started running towards them, the speed of Count Harry and the Knights of the Clouds increased even more.
“Die! You worms!”
The distance gradually decreases in real time.
And that also meant that the distance from the East was getting farther and farther away.
Count Harry passed by at a pre-specified point and his eyes met. It passed by quickly because it flew at a tremendous speed, but it was time to send a reply to those eyes.
As usual, I appear at this timing and give Marquis Kilias a shot.
It is a normal situation to run away from the marquis who hesitated for a moment and then stopped.
However, the Marquis also began to respond as if he was not stupid.
As if considering some damage, when he ignorantly began to emit red magic power, it looked like a huge comet crossing the sky.
If that thing gets stuck in the ground, it looks as if a tolerable city will fly away.
Attack and defense all at once… It’s plausible to say that, but it’s just that he ignorantly put magic on his body. Although it’s a bonus that if it gets stuck in a city, most cities will fly away as it is.
Well, good
And this is the time to move.
“It begins.”
Along with my words, the women waiting behind me moved.
“Whoops. Is this your first joint operation with your husband? Not bad.”
“Ah… ! Will my brother be okay?”
“Indeed. It is unparalleled magical power.”
He hid his magic to lure the Marquis, but looking at his appearance, he is very reliable. Hmm. These are my wives
They didn’t just get married, but in fact, they are my wife and companion, and they’re like family, so in a sense, these women are our family’s greatest power.
Oh oh oh oh-!
After passing the pre-determined spot to the Marquis of Kilias, he stood up.
“Come! He has no pride as an aristocrat! I’ll put an end to it this time so you can’t even run away!”
“What are you even talking about…”
He scratched his head as he looked at the marquis, who stopped with a sneer.
Mace is also one of the operations in war.
And there is only one pitfall.
“I’ll kill you, and I’ll kill that fly too!”
As if trying to raise a huge red stake in the sky again, seeing the huge convergence of magic power, I also radiate magic power.
Kkaduk, Kkaduk-!
My magical power erodes the world.
Originally, the time now is also daytime, so the brightness is not obvious, but the world eroded by magic begins to gradually increase its range around me.
Haha! This prank is over!”
The word playful is not a misnomer.
Because it is more efficient to block the huge pile with magic than to erode the surroundings in this way.
But that is not the purpose now.
Deed Deed Deed-!
My world, which slowly began to envelop the world, began to completely envelop the surroundings along with the Marquis.
Jjaeng-!
In a space illuminated only by the sun shining in the sky, the Marquis smiles as if it is ridiculous.
“Do you think this kind of prank has an effect on me?”
“No. It cannot affect you directly.”
Actually it is. Strictly speaking, the difference in rank is higher and the Marquis of Kilias has more magic power.
If you have magical powers lower than me, just being in this space would be stuffy and hot. Not only the temperature but also the surrounding light are not his allies.
But.
“It’s not like the magic that flows in from outside.”
“What… ?”
At my words, Marquis Kilias’s eyebrows twitched.
“In the first place, no matter how tricked you were, it was the magic of a different lineage. It can’t be said that its dominance is as strong as its own magical power.”
“You bastard… ! Joy! If so, it’s a minor level. You can’t block all of my magical powers!”
He nodded his head at the Marquis who was talking with anger as if he had been stabbed.
In fact, you can’t stop all of them.
Even now, the red magic power flowing in from the outside flows through the cracks in the world I have eroded.
Would the story be different if it was King Bastian?
With that much magical power, it seems that it can completely separate the outside from the inside.
Hmm. Well, that’s it
“But it’s a different story if I’m not alone.”
At the same time, the women waiting in the back appeared.
“The four years… !”
Even if he didn’t know his face, he must have guessed it from the magic he felt.
The moment the Marquis’ face hardened, my wives began to generate magic.
“It’s the first real test, but.”
Hard-!
The magic of my wives blends into the world I created.
“Where should I try it?”
Genesis begins.
* * *
“What… What is this… !”
The Marquis of Killias looked up at the sky with trembling eyes.
4 southern bugs. The moment they radiate magic power, the world was enveloped in darkness.
Leoric Hyperion’s voice came from the darkness.
“Somewhere there is a saying like this. The story that in the beginning there was only black space.”
But there was someone.
“Someone created the world and made the earth, the sky, and the water. And someone said.”
The land, sky, and sea appeared in the dark space.
But it was still dark.
There was nothing most important.
In that world, I looked at the Marquis of Killias.
“Let there be light.”
Brightly lit up
A world where the inside and outside are isolated.
