Chapter 300: Iron Fairy Subjugation (10)
“Hilde, Alice!”
KABOOM!!
Behind Rachnil, two women burst through the weakened floor, wielding a scythe wrapped in frost and a sword imbued with the power of nightmares.
Frost Dragon Hilde and Heart Queen Alice Carroll had arrived.
Moments earlier, the students had opened the vault on the first floor, securing one of their victory conditions. Isaac knew this thanks to a mental report from Hilde.
All the students were waiting at the Märchen Academy base. After securing their safety, Hilde and Alice waited for Isaac’s orders from an appropriate location.
CLANG!!
In an instant, two greatswords materialized, intercepting Hilde and Alice’s surprise attack.
[Useless.]
Rachnil thought Hilde and Alice would continue their attack, but for some reason, they kicked off the ground and retreated.
Following this, a sacred bird of light soared toward Rachnil. It was the five-star light spell, [Apostle of Light], born from Ian’s sword trajectory.
Rachnil scowled.
[You think that will...!]
Rachnil tightened his grip on the greatsword, iron mana coursing through it.
Just as he was about to strike the [Apostle of Light], a plant magic circle abruptly formed around him.
Slash!
Thick, glowing green vines sprang from the magic circle, swiftly entwining Rachnil.
The density of mana within the vines was so immense that even Rachnil couldn’t react quickly enough.
However, it wasn’t Kaya’s magic.
“Sylphia...?”
Kaya instantly recognized it and was taken aback.
In no time, the [Apostle of Light] struck the immobilized Rachnil.
CHAAAANG!!!
An iridescent light source shimmered.
KABOOM!!!
The explosion of Divine Power engulfed Rachnil, spreading the dusky glow of the setting sun.
Rachnil screamed.
The blessing of the Twilight Fairy.
Isaac recognized the nature of that power.
The fairy power passed down through the Fairytale family. The blessing of the Twilight Fairy, Nurix.
If the power of Nix, the Night Fairy, controlled the Sanctuary and commanded the fairies, the power of Nurix, the Twilight Fairy, was immortality and end.
That power activated at the dramatic moment when someone other than a demon killed Ian. The opponent received the Curse of the End, and Ian would escape death’s clutches.
The important thing was that any fairy power, by default, could effectively strike a fairy.
Clang!!
The formidable Iron Knights, weapons raised, charged at Isaac and his group in unison.
[Humans...!]
As the explosion of Divine Power subsided, Rachnil, with a face full of rage, sent heavy iron pillars toward Isaac from all directions.
At that moment, a strange energy enveloped the Iron Sanctuary.
Four meteors breached the sanctuary’s outer walls and penetrated inside.
KABOOM!!
The four meteors each took their own form.
Each was a mysterious being.
They shattered the Iron Knights and obliterated Rachnil’s magic as they stormed the Iron Sanctuary.
It happened effortlessly as if it were the most natural thing.
[Hello, Rachnil.]
[You wretch...]
Rachnil’s eyes blazed with murderous intent.
Standing before Kaya.
It was mana that mixed with the mana flowing in Isaac’s body, temporarily empowering him. A kind of buff.
It was the victory condition for ❰Magic Knight of Märchen❱ 「Act 11 Scene 3, Fairy War」.
[For a moment, your power will become stronger than ever before.]
“Why are you giving this to me?”
This power was originally intended for Ian.
[We judged that you are the most suitable to wield this power. That is the only reason.]
“...”
There was no need to question it in the first place.
He had embarked on a quest to defeat the Evil God himself in pursuit of a happy ending.
Hadn’t he been meddling in everything all this time?
So now, Isaac vowed to shatter everything himself.
“Thank you.”
Vibrant magic flared up around Isaac.
A strange pressure enveloped his whole body. The chill of light mana merged with his ice mana.
He felt certain he could unleash terrifying power at any moment.
His senses roared as the magic surged violently.
It was quite an exhilarating feeling.
KUUUUUNG!!
The sound of the sky being torn apart echoed as the greatsword descended toward the Iron Sanctuary.
[Cheers!]
Ares, the Strife Fairy, flew towards the giant Rachnil.
Rachnil swung his iron mana-infused greatsword, its sheer force threatening to cleave everything in its path.
In response, Ares swung his fist fiercely.
KAAAANG!!!
Ares, the Strife Fairy, stood at the pinnacle of pure strength among the fairies.
Ares’ fist deflected Rachnil’s greatsword. As Rachnil’s balance faltered, a plant magic circle spread under his feet.
Grrrrr!
The magic circle glowed, and thick verdant green vines slithered up and tightly constricted Rachnil’s body.
It was Sylphia’s plant magic.
Simultaneously, an iridescent barrier formed in the sky. Elaine, the Rainbow Fairy, intercepted the descending greatsword from the center of the barrier.
[Hehe.]
Elaine’s cheerful laughter.
As the descending greatsword struck the rainbow barrier, it screeched loudly, and fierce sparks flew.
The power to instantly deflect any impact. This was Elaine’s unique ability, “Reflection”.
As the greatsword clashed with the rainbow barrier, Clady, the Cloud Fairy, soared up and formed a massive cumulonimbus cloud inscribed with a magic circle above Rachnil’s head.
The cloud, created by the fairy’s immense mana, was overwhelmingly powerful.
A silvery-white downpour soaked Rachnil. Sizzling, smoke rose as the iron corroded. The
Rain of Desire hungrily attacked the iron giant.
Swish!!
Countless greatswords hovered menacingly, then swung fiercely at the fairies. The fairies gritted their teeth, using their magic to fend off the relentless strikes.
“Phew.”
Isaac, Hilde, and everyone except the enemies were enveloped by the [Frost Barrier], shielding them from Isaac’s ice magic.
Frost Dragon Hilde unleashed a hazy [Frostwind]. The [Frostwind], imbued with the power of the [Nightfalls’ Edge], began to engulf Rachnil.
Isaac sheathed his Obsidian Blade and, using the power of the [Ice Sovereign], unfolded three pairs of icy wings.
Fwoosh!
And then he took flight.
