Chapter 325: Winged Heavenly Being Subjugation (13)
“Damn...!”
“We must stop it! Immediately!!”
An astronomical amount of mana.@@@@
The Allied Forces were already overwhelmed dealing with the Heavenly rebel forces, making it difficult to hinder Vuel.
Booom!!
The ground shook violently as natural mana surged from within Black Stone.
“It’s an earthquake!”
“Everyone, be careful!”
The intensity of the earthquake was increasing. The tremors of the ground were going to spread beyond Black Stone to the city.
It was a prelude to a great catastrophe. When the Spear of Longinus was finally forged, the world would be destroyed.
Whoosh!
Crackle!!
Swish!!
Puff!!
Suddenly, the four elements swirled and converged at the crater of Black Stone.
The four Elemental Kings, Fire Sovereign, Lightning Sovereign, Wind Sovereign, and Water Sovereign, surrounded Vuel. They acted after perceiving the imminent threat of the world’s annihilation.
[The Elemental Kings, is it.]
Crash!
The Lightning Sovereign, without uttering a word, unleashed a lightning strike that bore down on Vuel. However, it failed to pierce his armor and dissipated weakly into fragments.
The other Elemental Kings unleashed their powerful elemental magic on Vuel simultaneously. However, the Divine Power swirling around Vuel easily dispelled the elemental magic.
Vuel, armed as he was, boasted extreme elemental resistance. Moreover, the effects of the Heavenly Clock were also in play. For the Elemental Kings, who had lived relying solely on magic, the current environment was akin to poison.
In the end, no matter how much elemental magic the Elemental Kings poured out, Vuel would not suffer any damage.
“Ugh, my magic isn’t working properly, it’s driving me crazy!”
“Don’t rely only on magic. Take out your weapon too.”
At the Water Sovereign’s lament, the Wind Sovereign pulled out a bow and replied in a monotone voice.
A massive bow, unfitting for her small frame, was gripped in the Wind Sovereign’s hands. An arm of dense wind mana extended into the air, pulling back the bowstring.
Whoooosh!
A heavy surge of wind mana arose around the arrow.
At the same time, the Lightning Sovereign drew a spear wrapped in lightning, and the Fire Sovereign unsheathed a sword engulfed in flames. Each was a high-rank magic weapon.
“I’ll support you!” The Water Sovereign cried out as she drew forth a harp, with water flowing from it as beautifully as a melody.
The Wind Sovereign shot the arrow, and the Lightning Sovereign and Fire Sovereign charged toward Vuel with their respective weapons.
[Flies, begone.]
Boom!
“Ahhh!”
“Ugh!”
Divine Power surged outward, sweeping away the Elemental Kings.
The Elemental Kings simultaneously deployed elemental barriers to minimize damage but were helplessly pushed back.
[...]
Vuel gazed up at the Spear of Longinus as it took shape.
The grand spear of mana was taking form. Even so, it was but a speck compared to the Heavenly God, yet it sufficed.
The activation of the Heavenly Clock’s effects and the massive natural mana embedded within Black Stone was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to summon the Heavenly God.
Exterminating all living creatures in the world was merely an unavoidable sacrifice to draw out the Heavenly Beings.
Vuel deliberately turned away from his guilt and focused all his strength on forging the spear imbued with the rebels’ hopes, recalling the countless comrades lost in the war.
[Hmm?]
With a screech, a massive hawk-shaped Magic beast flew in, hauling a transport machine.
The hawk rode the wind, racing to the battlefield, and the man standing atop it leapt down lightly.
As he landed on the battlefield with a thud...
He disappeared.
Swish!
[Guhk!]
[Ahhh!]
In an instant, the sword strikes swept through like a dance, leaving trails in the air.
A continuous series of sharp slashing sounds echoed as the screams of the Heavenly beings spread.
[Stop him! Aah!]
[How dare a human...! Ugh!]
The Heavenly Beings cried out as they were cut down, and Vuel’s displeased gaze turned toward the battlefield.
Explosive sounds rang out simultaneously, and many Heavenly Beings were struck heavily and sent flying.
Soon after, a man with silver-blue hair, dressed impeccably, appeared before Gerald Astrea, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Behind him, six magic circles spread out, each extending magnificent cold wings.
The effect of [Ice Moon], time freeze.
The man manipulated the flow of time to swiftly strike the Heavenly Beings before arriving in front of Gerald.
Crack!
Clang!
The effect of the Heavenly Clock was no exception for the man with silver-blue hair. For him, maintaining [Ice Moon] for even a brief moment was all he could manage.
However, the mere fact that he could cast such a spell was enough to show how extraordinary his level of mastery was, something no one could fathom.
“You’re late, Ice Sovereign.”
“Looks like you’ve learned something new.”
The Wind Sovereign spoke with a look of relief, while the Water Sovereign spoke with a look of admiration.
“Ice Sovereign...”
“Heh heh. Reliable.”
The Lightning Sovereign spoke with a cold expression, while the Fire Sovereign spoke with a smile.
“You’ve come.”
Gerald wore a faint smile.
“It’s been a while, Father-in-law.”
The man with silver-blue hair, Isaac, stood up, turned his head back, and greeted Gerald with a kind expression.
[Ice Sovereign... Isaac...!]
Vuel narrowed his eyes, revealing a deep sense of wariness.
The man he regarded with the utmost caution. The strongest human in the world, beyond comparison.
The Ice Sovereign Isaac had joined the battle.
Dorothy beamed, calling out, “President!” while Kaya smiled in relief, saying, “Sir Isaac!”
“...Huh?”
As Isaac arrived, Dorothy felt a strange sensation as if something were seeping into her.
For some reason, a tear suddenly rolled down one of her eyes.
At the same time, her starlight magic was being refined, and vague memories began to surface in her mind.
— Please, become my Wizard of Oz.
“What... is this?”
Overwhelmed with emotion, tears began to pour down.
Dorothy was bewildered. A woman’s life flashed through her mind like a panorama, filling her heart with pain.
It was the life of another version of herself.
It was the fate and past of a person who had perished in self-destruction alongside the Floating Island.
At that moment, Dorothy felt as though she had become one with that other version of herself.
“Student Dorothy, what’s wrong?”
“Ah, no, I’m not sure...”
When a female knight beside her asked urgently, Dorothy shook her head in confusion.
Dorothy’s increasingly sorrowful gaze turned toward Isaac.
“Isaac... just how much...”
On the surface, Isaac looked fine and immaculate. But Dorothy could sense how exhausted he must have been and the immense pain he had endured.
Isaac stood beside Gerald, glaring at Vuel.
“I’ll handle the Heavenly Beings near the crater. With all due respect, Father-in-law, please take care of the rest. Reinforcements from the Heavenly Beings will arrive soon. You only need to hold out until then.”
Gerald noticed that Isaac’s breathing was slightly heavy. He was clearly fatigued.
A quick glance at Isaac’s wrist revealed crimson blood trickling down.
His body was severely wounded, and he had yet to receive proper treatment.
Only the visible injuries had been treated hastily, while the wounds hidden under his clothes were likely severe.
That was probably why he wore dark-colored clothing and a coat to conceal it. Having traversed countless battlefields, Gerald could quickly deduce this.
Internally, Gerald found it amusing that he was worried about Isaac, someone overwhelmingly stronger than himself. He closed his eyes briefly, then opened them, focusing on the enemy.
“Hold out, you say? What a laughable suggestion.”
Gerald swung his blood-soaked sword, flicking off the blood of the Heavenly Beings.
“I’ll cut them all down swiftly.”
“That’s even better.”
“I’ll entrust that to you.”
“Understood.”
Isaac and Gerald kicked off the ground together.
