Episode 138: Piercing Spear of Lightning
The forbidden spell ``Dragon Fang Lightning Lightning'' is a spell with high attack power. However, the attack range is narrower than normal forbidden spells. However, Iris thought this was half-hearted.
If we were to narrow the attack range and increase the current density, it would be easier to use it if we further converged and raised the attack power to the maximum, making it an anti-personal magic.
The result was ``Thunder Spear Gungnir''.
By the way, the name is Shu.
(Damn...how...)
Even with the magic sword and magic shield in between, Lazard was still able to endure the piercing lightning strike by gritting his teeth. If it weren't for his magical physical protection, he would have already passed out.
“Gah...that’s it...――――――! ? ”
"Lisel!"
My vision turned completely white and I couldn't see anything.
The enemy search team that was ahead of them to climb the tree and the subsequent extermination team were lined up in a straight line. However, this brought out the magic called ``Thunder Spear Gungnir'' to its fullest potential.
Since it is a magic with high penetrating power, the ideal situation is when the enemies are lined up in a straight line, one above the other. It caused almost no damage to the Great Tree, and only brought lightning strikes to the Holy Knights.
The annihilation team set up a temporary position at the base of a large tree and waited for the report from the enemy search team.
The enemy search team, which was hiding in the branches and leaves and aiming for the top using the magic of "Sky Fly", fell prey to "Thunder Spear Gungnir". Lisel's communication was cut off.
"Gah... everyone's alive!"
As soon as the lightning stopped, Lazard confirmed the safety of the holy knights and knights. The holy knights are safe thanks to the lightning rod of the magic sword, the protection of the magic shield, and the physical defense and magic equipment of magic. However, the knight had three victims.
"Lisel, Risel...response."
Lazard called out while abandoning his magic sword and magic shield. The power of ``Thunder Spear Gungnir'' is tremendous, and his magic weapon has melted and deformed to the point that it is no longer usable. Unfortunately for him, it saved him and his friends. It's cheap.
However, there was no reply from Holy Knight Risel, who was entrusted with the leader of the enemy search party. If his magic equipment manipulates sound, he should be able to understand Lazard's voice as well. However, if there is no such thing, there is a high possibility that it was done. The enemy search team didn't have a magic sword to act as a lightning rod.
“Lazard-sama… probably already.”
"It seems so."
After being told by Mika, Lazard also admitted it.
Hearing this, the other holy knights and knights almost gave up on the survival of the enemy search party. At the same time, he exploded in anger towards the being who activated this magic.
"You...you monster!"
"I will absolutely destroy you. Let's go!"
"ah"
"I will definitely take revenge"
With the loss of three of the knights, only nine holy knights and knights remain. Even though Lazard, an S-rank holy knight, is there, it is becoming the last line of safety when dealing with disaster-class monsters. If multiple Disaster-class Disasters appear, it is inevitable that there will be casualties on the Holy Knight side.
However, no one would be foolish enough to retreat at this point.
Normally, it wouldn't be strange for them to be given an order to rebuild their posture, but the Eris Empire's army is still fighting. If only the Holy Knights retreated of their own accord, the influence of Demonism in the Eris Empire would be greatly reduced.
"From here on, I'll do my best."
Lazard created a magic hand that was a little bigger than normal and grabbed nine holy knights and squires, including himself.
What to do after this is simple.
Throw it.
Even up to the top of the tree.
“Are you all ready?”
It was blasted by the highest-ranking holy knight.
I can't shake my head. There's no such coward here.
The next moment, nine warriors jumped out with great force.
◆◆◆
“What happened just now…! I didn’t expect it, Iris-sama! Why did you intervene!”
Alerianne glared at Iris with a scary face. But Iris remains unfazed.
"I'm not just a woman to be protected! And I'm not just a doll to listen to what you say!"
"But an attack like that caused damage to the forest..."
"It's under proper control. I didn't just use magic without thinking."
"...It seems like that. We succeeded in destroying the humans who were climbing the tree. However, there are still nine people left at the root. This magical power..."
A deep, strong magical power that I felt involuntarily. It is the infinite life force emitted by the awakened magician.
Alerianne, who felt Lazard's power, trembled.
“Iris-sama, how about the rest of your magic?”
"I've used up a lot of my magical power..."
"Then stand back. I'll take care of the rest."
Alerianne was also starting to realize her foolish plan.
(Gather at the Great Tree Temple)
Yes, it sends telepathy to the entire fairyland.
They decided to ignore the Eris Empire army that was rampaging in various places and concentrate their forces on the Great Tree Temple. First, spiritual monsters that can pass through the air and move through the air begin to gather. Gradually, fairy-type monsters from all over the world rose into the sky and began to gather around the tree.
"We have determined that the only people who pose a threat are those below us. We will lure them into the Taiki and use its power to annihilate them. Iris-sama, hurry back inside..."
"--Looks like I don't have time to say that anymore. I'm coming."
Nine magical powers rapidly rising and approaching.
Alerianne also noticed it right away. It took a few seconds for her to reach the Great Tree Temple. You can't run away. There, Iris deployed a magic circle, and Alerianne communicated with the parasitic tree.
The two prepared for battle on the terrace of the Great Tree Temple and took an interception stance.
And a few seconds later, nine shadows suddenly appeared from below. The force of the throw from the magic hand was accurate, and the speed just dropped to zero around the Great Tree Temple.
Lazard, who was at the head of the Holy Knights, supported his eight companions in the air with his magical hands and changed direction.
"You are……"
“It’s 《Thunder Shot》!”
“Go away, human!”
Lazard looked at Iris and realized that it was the witch Iris. Since he is also a high-ranking holy knight, he has some knowledge of those wanted by the church. Especially when it comes to the witch who disappeared with Hades, he even remembered her face well.
That witch was in the fairyland.
I can't blame you if you stop thinking even for a moment due to an unexpected encounter. However, in battle, that moment can be the difference between victory and defeat. Iris' ``Thunder Shot'' was fired in rapid succession, and Alerianne's attack, which had been waiting steadily, also hit the Holy Knights directly.
“Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!?”
"Gi..."
The holy knights and knights who were directly hit by Iris' magic lost their balance and fell with such a scream.
Alerianne also commanded the great tree to swing its boughs like a whip, instantly crushing the holy knight. Such a precise attack would be impossible unless you were within Alerianne's visual range, but once you were within her range, you would have to withstand a fierce attack that would make it difficult to approach.
Lazard deflected Iris's lightning strike with his magic hand, but was unable to block the attack from the branch. He was in the air, a difficult place to tread, and was subjected to a mass attack that was more than he could normally withstand. Lazard also gets blown away and gets slammed into another bough.
"Grrrrrrrr... rrrr..."
Despite suffering heavy damage, Lazard was still lucky.
If I hadn't hit the branch, I might have fallen straight to the ground and died. Normally, it would have been an instant death, but it was only a bruise, so it was still better. And because of his magical power, even if he got slammed, it only resulted in a few bruises.
Lazard quickly regained his stance and supported his body with his magic hand. Since the magic hand can be controlled freely in the air, it is also possible to pseudo-fly by riding on the palm of the hand.
"Die... die!"
It is defined when the leaves of a large tree are covered with magical power and become like blades. Since thin leaves can sometimes cut the skin, the idea was expanded and the leaves were used as blades.
In other words, a large amount of leaves rained down like pseudo-shuriken.
Alerianne's magic depends on the large tree, and conversely, as long as the large tree is nearby, her hand expands.
"This...be careful! It's not just a leaf!"
“Then leave it to me.”
The Holy Knight, who possesses an extended magic weapon called Wings of Flame, releases each of his wings one by one. Each one shoots down a large amount of leaves and burns them in a mass of flame.
As if they had regained their composure, the other holy knights also started attacking with their own magical equipment.
“Pierce it!”
“Crush!”
"It's prey to fire magic!"
Bow magic that specializes in piercing, area-type magic that creates and manipulates rocks, and fire magic. They attack Iris and Alerianne.
Allerianne blocked all of those attacks. She communicates with the tree, and the tree continues to wield its branches and leaves to protect Alerianne and Iris. The tree itself does not have a will. However, Taiki and Alerianne share the same thoughts. If Alerianne wishes, Taiki will respond to it. No, act like that.
Thick branches deflect penetrating arrows, repel large rocks, and blow out flames.
Alerianne itself was not that strong, but the large tree was strong due to its mass.
"Don't be afraid!"
Lazard inspires the Holy Knights.
"There's an evil monster there. And it's Iris Silverbullet, the witch who sold her soul to the monster!"
Hearing that, the color of the holy knights' eyes changed.
The witch Iris is a special person to the demon religion. Not in the sense of being important, but in the sense of heresy. There are many heresies designated by the church, such as necromancers who blaspheme souls and those who worship the devil. However, selling his soul to the monster of the ``King'' is an extraordinary heresy.
The highest level and the greatest heresy. In other words, this is an opponent that must be subdued with top priority. Iris is also known as an immortal magician. It is not considered that he will die in his lifespan.
"Kill me"
That's what Lazard ordered.
The fact that he noticed Iris shows his excellence.
But unfortunately that was all he could do. Because Iris was here, he didn't realize that Hades was also there.
◆◆◆
Although Shu was sealed into a floating star, he was not running wild.
“Is this enough?”
I muttered that and stopped the continuous firing of ``Gluttony Black Crystal Belze Material''.
Shuu was firing continuously in hopes of destroying it from within. But that's not the main thing. The true purpose is to recover magical power.
The recovered magical power is used for a certain magic.
"《Divine Flame》"
The space in Shu's palm shook and distorted.
