Chapter 342
Black Wave
Lightning Breath is a wide-area magic, but it's not a magic that sweeps away things on the ground like Ferda's.
Rather, it shines in aerial combat because the lightning's efficiency drops due to the preparation motion.
The staff Ferda holds changes the nature of lightning, and thus it could give a moment of light.
Power impossible for an ordinary 5th-tier mage.
A form of magic that would have been impossible without extreme mana tuning and the magic given by the First Witch.

Of course, the recoil wasn't trivial either.
'Damn it......'

In an instant, a lot of mana drained away, and his head spun dizzyingly.
It wouldn't have been strange if he'd fainted right there, but Ferda's body was supported thanks to someone's hand.
Behind him was Isabella.
She speaks with her eyes.
Е̄ n̈ ŭmä.і d
'You must stand.'
This is directly linked to morale.
Ferda, who had been leaning on Isabella's magic, corrected his posture and looked at the battlefield.
Destructive bastards with no morale to break

'Remaining mana is about 30%......'
He spun his head without rest.
Én̆u̇mа . іd̄
He forcibly heated his blood so he wouldn't even think about fainting again.
'If I use it one more time here...... and even use the Shadow Circle......'
Shadow Circle.
The moment it rose in his mind, Ferda reflexively rejected it.
He didn't want to do that.
This wheel spinning in black now just felt like a parasite.

Kugugung!!
Blue beams of light pour down beneath the castle wall.
They push back the monsters climbing up the wall, but like salmon swimming upstream a waterfall, their momentum doesn't stop.
It's a fight of who tires first between the monsters' momentum and the barrage of mana bullets.
Monsters keep climbing up, but changing magazines takes time.
"Rotate! Rotate!!"
Е̌ n̆ û m̄а̃
They tried to fill the gaps by rotating shifts before magazines completely emptied.
However, the time between rotations was clearly a gap as well.

The monsters surged up with momentum.
Geureureureuk!
A monster climbing the castle wall with a sound like boiling phlegm.
It boasted a bizarreness on a different orbit from commonly known animal forms.
E n̂ u̇m̌а̇
"Die! You things that came out of Amon's anus!!"
Kwang! Kwang!
The ones that got close were pushed back by knights with shotguns.
Beneath the castle, the disgusting smell rising from corpses and the smell of heated iron briefly anesthetized fear.

They fight risking death, but that black wave's advance cannot be stopped, climbing up like fate.
A monster climbs up and pounces on a foot soldier.
Еn_ü m̄а́
"Ugh, uwaaa!!"
The foot soldier squeezed his eyes shut.
Instead of vicious teeth and weight, what he felt was a wind like a gale.
When he opened his eyes again, there was nothing in front of him.
Kung!!
Something floating in the sky flew in like a silver flash and fell along with the monsters stuck to the wall.

"Dr, dragon!"
Someone shouted that, but immediately realized it wasn't a dragon.
It had a pair of horns and large wings, but it was because of its extremely small frame and maid outfit.
However, the vicious axe in its hand was so gigantic that none of the knights here could confidently say they could handle it easily.
The girl gripped that axe tightly with both hands and swung it widely.
Buung!
W е b̆n̈о̄ v̊.ẽ l̀ Ѐ n̂u mа
She bounced like autumn leaves, cutting enemies and pushing them back hard.
For the first time in the black wave that was like water, the ground's color showed.

"Rotate! Rotate quickly!"
The balance that was about to break was precariously maintained.
'This won't do.'
In the end, the humans would tire first.
Ê n̈ ü m а
'Good.'
Mana gathered just enough for one last use.
Ferda immediately cast magic.
"Lightning Breath!"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
The monsters stuck to the castle wall burned like moss and fell to the ground.
"Keol-eok."
Е̂ n_u ṁa
Tinnitus ringing in his ears, nosebleed and hemoptysis flowing down.
It was a dangerous gamble that threatened his life.
But there is hope.
The end of that damn wave is visible.
Reservists who learned properly lead rookies and retreat swiftly.
Knights and mages repel the monsters climbing over, buying time to retreat.

Despite such efforts, they couldn't make everyone safe.
"Kwaaaak!"
Someone's scream rings out.
Gunshots to erase the scream shout even louder.
He forcibly holds onto his fading consciousness.
Ferda's pupils increasingly shook.
Е̂n üm а
It wasn't the type where the reflected image splits in two.
It seemed like darkness was eating Ferda's eyes.

Like being consumed by Sierra's ritual.
So he struggled, shaking off the desire to rest.
-This isn't something you can endure.
Finally, that darkness climbed to his ear and whispered.
Е ǹ u m̃ ȧ .і̄d̀
It was his mother's voice.
Sierra's voice tempted Ferda again.
-Don't you need me?
He doesn't answer.

He directed his mind elsewhere as if dismissing it as a simple auditory hallucination.
Taking in this tragedy, he counted the number of dead.
Е̊ n ů m_a
'50.'
Out of 300 gathered for the defense, 50 died.
Ferda bit his lip.
'Hateful.'
He hates Sierra who made him like this.
He hates Godwin who became his root.

If only I can gain power by hating you......!
"Ferda-nim."
Ruri, who climbed up the castle wall.
Her clothes are full of traces of desperate battle.
In her eyes where fighting spirit lives, there is one girl.
"Are you alright?"
Е̃ numа́
Seeing that girl's expression, Ferda corrected his thoughts.
Hatred won't do.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Don't think you can control hatred and anger, Ferda Valdrova.
You are not a human who can do that.
Don't repeat the same mistake.
"Reinforcements......?"
Е̂ n_úm а̄
"They say they'll arrive soon. No......"
Isabella changed her words.
"They've already arrived."
Her eyes turned toward the demon's land.

Following her gaze, something could be seen flying from beyond the demon's land.
Like a shell fired with pure power, it tore through the air, dyed red.
W е ḃ n̆ о̀v̊ eľ Е̃ nû m̄ ȧ_
And it fell into the monsters' wave.
Kuuuung!!!
The earth heaved greatly.
The monsters' balance collapsed for a moment, drawing attention.
Thick hazy smoke rose inside.
Kung!
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
A thunderous sound burst and the smoke tore.
The first thing visible is a magitech shotgun shining brilliantly in gold.
In the other hand, a large club.
On his back, a shield as large and crude as his frame.
"Alberto!"
"The Immovable Fortress!"
Еnu m̈ а̊.і d
He, who went to scout the Far East situation, became a shell and flew in instantly.
-Uwooooo!!
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
The warrior's roar Alberto erupts draws the monsters' attention.
What piles up in that blood-and-slaughter-soaked depth is monsters' corpses.
At the end of it, Alberto endlessly climbs and wages a battle for the high ground.
The one-man fortress didn't shake against any attack.
Е n uṁ а́. i̊ d̆
He was fighting with monsters clinging all over his body like the form of the end that rose from the other side of hell.
Before such admiration could even set in, another reinforcement exerts their power.
Hwaaaak!
Golden light surrounding the barrier soared up.

As if the entire area was a sacred zone nothing could invade. It bounced back everything climbing up.
That golden light started from where the shell fell.

There was a girl shining like the sun.
No, a man pretty enough to be easily mistaken for that.
He was a High Elf, Rize.
"Is anyone hurt?!"
The light lumps circling around Rize gathered and rapidly swelled, manifesting in a terrifying form.
-Ugly things bothering Rize, all die!

The Wood Elves who knew that notorious reputation could only be horrified.
"World Tree's Nightmare......!"
"How is that terrifying thing here......?!"
The spirit fusion entity they thought was the elves' enemy was pushing back monsters and rampaging, helping them.
"Sorry we're late! We had to prepare thoroughly just in case!"
The last to reveal herself was Erika.
Ё nû m̆а̀
She opened a small canteen and chanted a spell.
"Go."

Dozens of hummingbirds made of water burst from the narrow entrance and charged at the monsters.
Piiiiii—.
The whistle sound made by hummingbirds moving at the speed of sound.
Like catching fish in a lake, they burrowed into the monsters' bodies and plucked out and swallowed their hearts.
Е n u̇ ḿ а. і d
As understandable for being late, the three's power instantly flipped the situation.
"Hold on! Just hold on now!"
A voice full of conviction rang out again, leading morale, and the last monster became a corpse and fell below the castle wall.
The battlefield where explosions loud enough to cause tinnitus had rung instantly fell silent.

No one cheered with the joy of survival.
Everyone just breathes exhausted breaths.
Wе̃ b̆ ǹо̆ v̆е̄.l Е̊n ū m̆ а
It felt like they'd only glimpsed the Far East's true face that no one had realized.
"Does Her Highness Valdrova fight things like these?"
People with faces that say it doesn't feel real.
But what they saw is at most a part.
Ferda knows.
Valdrova has fought alone against things at least 10 times this power.

'And......'
Such things still existed beyond there.
* * *
The incident was settled and bodies were recovered.
The monsters' corpse smell was so nauseating that even surrounding plants withered along.
Bernel's mansion, used as a fortress, immediately began repairs.
Ӗ n ŭmа̀
Workers entered repair work again without complaint.
During that time, Ferda listened to Erika's story with Hestia's assemblymen.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Erika, as Platinum Adventurer Eri, entered deep into the demon's land with her party members.
Since they just needed to respond to sudden combat, they secretly moved in a small group of about 6 to observe the situation.
She briefed the data obtained through such observation.
"The monsters that attacked this place were ones pushed out of their territory. Simply put, they're the weakest among monsters."
Е̌n ŭm̊ а̄ . і d
"Those things are the weakest......"
The knight remembered the moment wrapped in that nightmare and shuddered.
"But that's not the problem."
"Then......?"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"The monsters stopped fighting among themselves."
They didn't choose to fight each other out of destructive instinct.
E numa .i d̃
Those words sound extremely chilling.
"They finished establishing hierarchy, and they'll further fulfill their identity as chaos's crystallization. They'll move toward the Far East and attempt invasion."
"Such......!"
They started murmuring in fear.
"How much time do you think is left?"
"If no countermeasures are made, monsters from far away will swarm within a month. And those......"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Erika emphasized with a serious voice.
"Will be existences that make this fierce battle nothing at all."
"A month......"
Isabella took off her glasses and pressed her brow.
It was a headache-inducing moment.
Naturally, the assemblymen's eyes turned to the head seat.
Ē n ūm̀ ӑ
Ferda, who had been sitting at the head seat listening, opened his mouth.
"Everyone except the Guild Master and Administrator, leave."

"Yes?"
"The rest of the story will proceed with just the three of us."
At the sudden decision, they couldn't even raise questions and stood up from their seats.
They all left, and Erika spread soundproof magic to block them from hearing.
Е̇ nu m̂a. і̃d
"Is it difficult for Her Highness Valdrova to wake up inside there?"
Erika asked, knowing it was rude.
He understood because she felt the same frustration.
"The Golden Dragon said she must lie down for at least half a year."

"But an incident will break out within a month......"
Her empty seat was too large.
Ё n ü m á .id
Just as the atmosphere tried to sink into gloom.
"Ack! Thinking like this now doesn't help at all!"
Erika shook her head vigorously.
She shook it so hard her hair became disheveled.
"Speaking as someone who beat the Demon King, 'impossible' just means it doesn't help."
"......."

"Even if the sky falls, there's a hole to crawl out. I believe we'll pull it off spectacularly this time too. We have to! Understand?"
"Yes......"
It was behavior that baffled people, but thanks to that, he could shake off his emotions.
A face clumped together with confidence.
The adventurer's appearance suited her more than the elegant and noble Erika.
"How to handle it is a matter for further discussion, so—."
W̄ѐ b ṅ оv̂ е l Е̄n ũ m̄.a
Thud! Thud!
A sound resonating in the space with soundproof magic.

It was a sound like someone hitting the outer wall hard.
"Which damn bastard, while the three of us are talking......"
He released the security magic to see that face, letting the door open.
The door opened and a man walked in with heavy steps.
W еbno vе l _Е̄ n̆ um ă
A man in heavy cavalry armor giving off a fishy smell without even wiping off all the blood and monsters clinging to his body.
No, it would have been impossible to wipe all that blood.
Anyone who'd been on the battlefield would know he fought in the midst of monsters.
"Alberto?"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Erika couldn't hide her surprise at that appearance.
This was the first time he'd committed such rudeness, he who was organized as an elite adventurer party member and silently traversed the demon's land.
Е̌ n̂ u mà .id̀
He closed the door again and looked at Erika intently.
Erika cast soundproof magic again.
Then he opened his mouth.
"I know how to drive those monsters off this land."
He, who appeared out of nowhere, spoke those words.
