Chapter 299: Iron Fairy Subjugation (9)
Chapter 299: Iron Fairy Subjugation (9)Above the iron sea that filled Aldreque.
Those who couldn’t evacuate to shelters fled to higher ground.
Thanatos the Ruination scattered annihilation mana as he glared in the direction of Aldreque. It had the ferocity of a beast that had found its prey.
“If only Charlotte had been here...!”
If Charlotte, the number one magic authority in the Zelver Empire and archwizard, had been here, she might have been able to protect Aldreque from those demons somehow.
However, Emperor Carlos had brought only his elite forces to Aldreque. No one, except for those who orchestrated the event, could have foreseen such a disaster.
In the distance, eerie mana began to gather in the mana stone attached to Thanatos’ staff. Emperor Carlos swallowed nervously.
It was grand. A magic circle of immeasurable size unfolded, ready to cast a spell of destruction.
Thanatos extended his staff in the direction of Aldreque.
“Your Majesty, at least evacuate Princess Snow White, if only for her sake!!”
“No... Stop it. There’s no other way.”
“But!”
“Relay this to everyone in the frontlines of the Imperial Wizard Unit! Even if it means exhausting their mana, they must pour out their mana at full power and protect Aldreque!!”
“I will... obey your orders...!”
The Imperial Wizard, who had barely regained his senses and was casting a healing spell on himself, replied.
It was merely a healing spell for emergency treatment, but it was enough for him to force his body to move.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
The Imperial Wizard barely managed to stand, threw himself through the breached outer wall, and used wind magic to lift himself and fly somewhere.
And then.
[Graaaahhh!!!]
Thanatos roared.
The condensed mana in his staff seemed ready to shoot at any moment.
It was a power that killed instantly upon contact and even burned the soul.
The undeniable and terrifying mana ripped through the ground and blanketed the sky, striking fear into the hearts of humans.
Aldreque held its breath.
Emperor Carlos felt it in that instant. The power couldn’t be stopped. Even if the Imperial Wizards there deployed a barrier at maximum output, it wouldn’t be enough.
...It was then that the strange event occurred.
Rumbleeeeee!!
Boom!!!
A blinding flash of light.
Afterward, a vast expanse of purple lightning rained down on Thanatos from the sky, like divine judgment.
Unlike lightning that vanishes in an instant, the lightning blast raged like a storm, relentlessly engulfing Thanatos.
The strike radiated a dazzling brilliance, even from afar.
Crackle!!
A man formed from lightning mana appeared before Thanatos, floating in midair.
A billowing black coat billowing and purple hair.
From Aldreque, his exact form couldn’t be discerned, but it wasn’t hard for anyone to recognize who could wield such powerful lightning magic.
His mana could be felt even from far away. He was already a wizard beyond comprehension.
“The Lightning Sovereign...?”
The Lightning Sovereign, Jaul Dragoniac.
The Elemental King of Lightning stood against Thanatos.
Fwooooo!!!
A swirling water magic of brilliant colors merged with the lightning.
The pressure of the deep sea weighed down on Thanatos. Its power was more than enough to devastate the entire area.
Another water vortex appeared around Thanatos and gracefully spread, revealing a beautiful woman inside.
Her blue hair flowing, she smiled.
It was the Water Sovereign, Siren Silivian.
Whhooooooo!!!
A terrifying tornado mixed with the lightning and water vortexes, amplifying the momentum of the elemental magics.
This level of Mana Mastery was beyond imagination. In the world, few could perform a joint spell with the magic of an Elemental King that if one were to count them on one hand, they’d still have fingers to spare.
A petite woman enveloped in light green wind appeared. A thick arm, formed of dense wind mana, materialized in midair above her head, gripping a massive bow made of wind.
The bowstring was drawn, and an arrow formed of wind mana aimed directly at Thanatos.
The woman blinked expressionlessly. She was Erin Campbell, the Wind Sovereign.
Whoooosh!!!!
Crimson flames surged, engulfing all the elemental attacks of the Elemental Kings.
The ultra-high-temperature flames intertwined with lightning, exploding incessantly. As the flames and lightning evaporated the water, intense steam explosions ensued. The tornado utilized the resulting aftermath as part of its attack, leaving nothing unused.
Space warped from the astronomical mana. The layered joint attack was nothing short of a disaster.
An elderly wizard, wreathed in flames, walked forward slowly, his wizard robe fluttering, staff in hand. Behind him, countless fire magic circles unfolded.
Like fine wine, his mana, condensed over long years, weighed heavily on the area.
No, she simply wanted to protect Isaac.
She clutched her head as a violent headache throbbed. Her breathing became rough, her mouth dry. She felt like she would vomit at any moment.
Merlin tried to support White, but she extended her arm to block her. She needed to focus.
“I’ll... help you...”
White extended her hand toward the Iron Sanctuary.
Closing her eyes, she focused on the mana coursing through her.
Thanks to the painful mana mastery training she had endured with Isaac, she could vividly feel the mana flowing through her mana circuits.
The days of training under Isaac’s guidance, shedding sweat and blood, and her firm resolve to protect him, heightened White’s concentration to its peak.
Her racing heart slowly began to calm down.
Her breathing became steadier, and her mana came under her control, responding to her will.
White transferred another stream of mana circulating inside her body to her fingertips. Soon, vivid mana gathered at her fingertips.
The navy blue mana held a glow of white light as if plucked from the night sky.
“White, what is that...?”
Emperor Carlos was astonished, but White paid him no mind.
She could sense the terrifying presence of creatures spread across the world.
She opened her hand. Somehow, she felt like she could grasp the iron mana floating in the air.
Slowly, White was stepping into a new realm.
“If you’re going to protect the people...”
White’s eyes slowly opened.
A strange blue light hovered in her eyes.
“I will protect you...”
At last, White clenched that hand tightly.
Fwoooosh!!!
Starting from White, gentle navy blue mana fluttered like a butterfly’s wings, spreading rapidly.
Startled, Emperor Carlos and Merlin stepped back.
The mana was a power imbued with the energy of the night, a blessing from the Fairy Nix.
The Iron Sea was steadily devoured, and the Iron Sanctuary was engulfed by the mana of the night.
The reclaiming of the sanctuary.
It was the power of the Night Fairy.
From all directions, fairies turned into colorful meteors, streaking across the sky and simultaneously heading toward the Iron Sanctuary.
At the Iron Sanctuary, Noah had already pushed himself to his limits and was on the verge of collapsing.
Before Noah fell, Isaac had activated the power of his obsidian blade, [Rock Sovereign’s Barbican], which had a long activation time.
Isaac’s party, including Noah, who was slumped down and gasping for breath, was protected by the beautiful rock fortress walls.
Kakakakakrak!!!
Rachnil’s iron magic was gradually growing in intensity. There was no doubt that he had recovered to the point where the accumulated damage seemed meaningless.
Unless certain conditions were met, it would be impossible for a human to defeat a Fairy within their sanctuary.
With a greatsword swinging through the air, Rachnil, holding a single greatsword, charged toward the [Rock Sovereign’s Barbican].
A high concentration of iron mana permeated the greatsword with tremendous force.
[You’re merely a human brat!]
As Rachnil prepared to strike the [Rock Sovereign’s Barbican] with numerous greatswords...
“Thank you, White.”
Isaac’s calm monologue.
Suddenly, Nix’s magic swallowed the Iron Sanctuary, and Rachnil’s magic lost much of its strength.
[Why... the sanctuary...?]
Everyone present could feel it.
Rachnil’s power over the area was dwindling at an alarming rate.
The power of Nix, the Night Fairy. The reclaiming of the sanctuary.
Rachnil had lost his control over the sanctuary.
Kwakakakang!!!
[Urgh!!]
[Rock Sovereign’s Barbican] shattered, and at the same time, Isaac appeared, swinging his obsidian blade at Rachnil.
Startled, Rachnil blocked the rock blade strike with the greatsword in both hands, but he couldn’t stop the devastating shockwave.
[Stone Breathing-First Form] — Yellow Wave Slash.
Rachnil flew back like a ball and smashed into the wall, while the greatswords floating in the air shattered into pieces from the shockwave of the rock mana.
“Now...”
Isaac gave Rachnil, who wore a bewildered expression, a cold glare.
“...It’s time for me to fight back.”
