Claire and Racine were standing outside of the building.
ăI heard a terrible explosion so I rushed over and met with Racineă
ăWhat is the fuss about~?ă
They must have rushed here because they are both out of breath.
ăAn Empire Magician has attacked usă
I explained briefly.
ăHe said he would annihilate anyone obstructing the Empireă
ăLooks like establishing the Magic Corps become hindrance to themă
Claire groans.
ăâŚâŚ Do you plan on fighting?ă
ăItâs good way to appeal the interviewersă
I explained how Roge-san told me to chase after the magician.
ăAlthough the opponent is magician of the Empire, you look very calmă
Racine watched me in surprise.
ăAs expected of Abel-samaâŚâŚă
Her face turned pale after muttering.
Her petite body dressed in white robes was trembling.
The Empireâs Magician is an existence that is feared by many people.
To think he can fight the whole military by himselfââ
All of Abelâs memories are suddenly extracted.
No matter how brave this girl is to volunteer to join the Magic Corps, what is scary is scary.
When I look at her shivering little figure that resembles a scared small animal, I feel like protecting her, the feelings of selfishly wanting to protect her boil inside me.
ăEvil Empire is nothing before me and my magic. No need to be afraid, Racineă
In order to decrease her anxiety even a little, I boast on purpose.
ăFuun, even though your face was blue when you fought in the villageă
Claire said with a teasing tone.
ăO, only in the beginning. I instantly recovered! I, I wasnât scared at all!ă
ăFufu, Iâm counting on youă
Claire says with a grin.
Racine starts laughing.
Surely, Claire wanted to make Racine feel better in her own way.
ăThen RadoââLetâs find the whereabouts of the Empireâs Magiciană
ăThen, let meă
Racine stepped forward.
ăI will look for his magic poweră
ăYou can tell?ă
I remember after asking.
Yesterday, she was the only one who noticed my invisible magic tentacles.
ăI canât pinpoint the exact location, but I can tell the directionâŚâŚă
Racine closes her eyes and lets out a small breath.
After several minutes, she opens her eyes slowly.
ăI can feel an ominous magic from that directionă
Racine pointed her small finger to the alley on her left.
ăThis wayă
With her guidance, we run after Radoââ
After arriving at the alley, a smell of blood drifted to my nose.
There were many dead people.
ăWhat isâŚ.. thisâŚâŚ!?ă
The need to vomit comes to my throat from the odor.
A young man in the black robe was standing on the pile of bodiesââItâs Rado.
ăYou came just in time. The summoning ritual is almost doneă
The magician calmly laughs while stomping a corpse.
As if killing people wasnât anything special.
ăWhatâs with that expression? These fellows were killed only because of the summoning. They are a sacrifice to a powerful monsteră
Rado creates a seal in front of him and starts the incantation.
ăNow, become frightened by the sight of my strongest summon! Summoning: Black-Winged Steel Dragon!ă
He shouted.
PiriâŚâŚ
A dark red rift appeared in the air.
The crack of indecent shape somehow reminds me of female genitalia, but itâs a proof of air splitting.
Guooooooooooooooon!
A huge ferocious shadow emerged from that rift.
A big body that trampled down nearby houses.
The impact caused the ground to shake like an earthquake.
A dragon big as a castle with four wings on its back.
Its whole body was covered in shiny metallic scales.
ăNo way, that isââă
Racine groans with a pale face.
ăDo you recognize it, Racine?ă
ăItâs a Black-Winged Steel DragonâŚâŚ SS grade monster desuă
ăSS gradeâŚâŚ?ă
Though I donât understand it, its strength was conveyed to me clearly.
Oooooon!
The Steel Dragon roared again and discharged pale rays from its mouth.
ăItâs a Dragon Breath, get on the ground!ă
Racine cries out.
I groveled like I was told to.
Claire and Racine were both similarly crawling.
I wasnât able to set up a proper defensive spell because I was upset by the bodies before me.
The flash of light runs straight across the main street.
A burst of laughter, a burst of flames and the detonation of an explosion could be heard approximately at the same time.
The nearby buildings converted to ashes.
A moment later, the nearby area is blown off in a chain reaction.
ăWhaâŚâŚ!ă
I stared at the scene while squinting my eyes.
With a single blow, one-third of the city was burnt down.
ăDemon General class is second only to the Demon King class Lucifer. To summon such thing in the cityâŚâŚ!ă
Racine groans with a pale face.
ăOioi, I will get embarrassed if you praise me so muchă
Rado says with a smug smile.
The seal in front of his chest still didnât disappear.
On the contrary, his chanting continued.
This fellowââ
ăSummoningă
He silently chants six times.
In the space behind him, six rifts appear.
Six Steel Dragons emerge out of there.
ăYou should feel honored! These seven Black-Winged Steel Dragons will erase this city!ă
First, he summons one, then another sixââSeven Steel Dragonâs appear in the downtown.
ăAre you sane! At this rate, you will massacre everyone in this cityââă
ăIt seems that a military force against our Empire was raised in this city. AnnoyingâŚâŚ Itâs only natural to clean the dirtă
Rado says in the tone of a fanatic.
ăItâs only naturalâŚâŚ you sayă
His tone is way too composed.
He doesnât think anything about us and the people of this city.
Therefore, he used the murdered the people of this city and used them as sacrifices for his summonings.
ProbablyââHe feels like he is using the dragons to exterminate harmful insects.
ăFor those who oppose our Empire, extinctionââThose are the orders of our Emperoră
ăAs if Iâd let you! Before that happens, I will defeat those guysââă
I stand up and concentrate.
As expected, against the strongest class monsters, I should put some effort.
Attack output, angle, aim I must attack carefully.
Oooon!
At that time, I heard something in front of me.
Another Steel Dragon is going to shoot the Dragon Breath again.
ăGimme a breakâŚâŚă
If that thing is fired again, Rashuka City is going to be destroyed.
Eei, thereâs no time to hesitate.
I started running towards the dragon.
In a single jump, I stepped on the dragonâs foot.
ăPierce the skies, Golden eyesââă
I chant.
The incantation comes out of my mouth as if it was natural.
ăSpiral Blade. Blood Crystallizationă
I wasnât taught that by anyone.
These words appeared overnight in my mind one-by-one.
I have a plenty of chants in the stock.
And now, on the Steel Dragonâs foot, Iâm chanting the one with the most destructive power.
ăSpinning Light. Twinkling Darkness. Pass through one point. From the beam of light, back to the nothingnessă
With this incantation, Iâm able to fire the strongest magic.
The power is far superior to the one without a chant.
After a moment, my incantation was complete.
ăPerishââFlash of Annihilation â Photon Blastă
The surroundings were wrapped in bright white light.\n
