Now, Runcandel is closely examining the battle situation. Since Ron and Kelliark were fighting in earnest, no one on the battlefield was conscious of their location.

 

The battlefield was a chaotic landscape, as if the entire sky was exploding. All the Knights of Runcandel who were watching were thrilled.

 

“Ron Hairan…..”

 

Rosa said in a low voice. Uncharacteristically for her, it was a voice full of regret. There is no other reason why she is so regretful.

 

Patriarch.

 

If only Chiron Runcandel, Luna, and the former Black Knights were here right now. And if only Ron Hairan wanted Runcandel’s help.

 

It was because of the feeling that the thousand-year war between Runcandel and Zipfel might have come to an end today. No one expected Ron to wake up so close to the genesis knight realm.

 

“Acting patriarch.”

 

The Black Knight commander, ‘Stam’, stood next to Rosa. He is the only person who could directly discuss current war situation with Rosa.

 

“Sir Stam.”

 

“How do you see it?”

 

Will Ron Hairan really be able to win the fight against Zipfel, Stam was asking that.

 

“Without Kadun and Hedo, Kelliark’s odds don't seem high. No, even if they are here...… I don’t think Ron will just lose.”

 

“I think so too. Except the patriarch, no one would be able to defeat the current Ron Hairan.”

 

“Even so, the reason Sir is still skeptical about participating in the war must be for the same reason as mine.”

 

Stam nodded his head.

 

Slowly but clearly. Zipfel is falling towards defeat. Nevertheless, they were still maintaining a war footing that ruled out retreat, and they haven't even sent anyone to Runcandel to negotiate.

 

What that meant was clear.

 

“Yes, Zipfel will have the means to turn the tide of the war on their own.”

 

“Seeing that they don’t even pretend to leave me out, it must be a very sure way. I think it's the imitation of the Orb of Origin mentioned by patriarch in the past.”

 

Chiron had evaluated that power as dangerous. It was indeed a rare case that he used the expression 'danger'.

 

“This time, we may have to go back satisfied with checking that power ourselves. What if the black knights who went to the Black Sea return without seeing the patriarch?”

 

White stone.

 

The two of them judged that the moment Ron was defeated, it would be difficult for Runcandel to have it.

 

There is also a thought that an all-out war should never be waged if Zipfel pulled out a trump card and Ron could not deal a serious blow to them.

 

“Acting patriarch.”

 

 “Speak.”

 

“Is it okay if I infiltrate the battlefield with the three black knights?”

 

Stam was concerned about Jin's survival. When Kelliark brings out a means to defeat Ron, it is questionable whether Jin can survive in it.

 

It was confirmed that the battlefield was divided into Ron and Kelliark, Octavia's spectre and Jin's party. In the first place, Stam had the perception that Jin will be in danger even before Zipfel took out its trump card.

 

“Do so. It seems necessary.”

 

“I will not intervene unless it’s on the verge of a war.”

 

“It should be. One make sure to save it.”

 

 * * *

 

Blood gushed from Octavia's shoulder.

 

Since all the magic of the spectre is centered on Octavia, their joint efforts are bound to become somewhat dull.

 

Originally, it should have been.

 

However, Octavia is a mage who can handle the 'attribute of light', which is said to have been completely lost a long time ago.

 

“Providence…… Maybe it's because you are a dragon, but you don't know much. The history of mortals, including humans, has always been an effort to go against the absurd principles and laws set by the gods. Just as we changed incurable disease into obstinate disease and obstinate into complete cure.”

 

A sphere of light the size of her fist formed at the tip of Octavia's wand. When the orb touched her shoulder, the light penetrated and the wound healed rapidly.

 

“Light magic also cut off its veins by mentioning that the god’s providence. The mortal should not have something complete."

 

Light magic is the dream of all mages.

 

The light magic passed down like legends is an attribute that can solve attack, defense, and healing at once, and its power is also different from other magic.

 

Likewise, the lost dark magic can do all of that, but it always needs catalysts and sacrifices. Light had no such restrictions. In return, only mana is consumed.

 

Hwaaak!

 

Then, the magic of light extending from her wand formed wings on Octavia's back.

 

“So don't speak as if going against the providence is a great sin, Black Dragon Misha.  It’s disgusting and difficult to listen to.”

 

As the wings of light stretched forward, there was a sharp sound of wind cutting. Sharp fragments of light shot out like a bow, and Misha blocked the attack by rotating her black spear.

 

However, fragments of light splattered in all directions caused an explosion. Misha stepped on side to avoid the explosion, and the rest of the martial artists wiped out the aftermath.

 

The position of second-in-command of Zipfel was not won for nothing. It is said that she was a little tired from enduring the battle between Kelliark and Ron, but only the spectres were greatly affected by that fact.

 

As Octavia is a mage who has already entered the realm of ‘transcendence’, her physical burden was not that much of an issue. Even by her standards, she is literally, if not against an overwhelming enemy.

 

“I don’t know why you’re suddenly mentioning the gods. Is it difficult for you to understand that what you guys are doing is against standards and feel disgusting?”

 

“Life is too short to live while caring about such things. As you expressed out of a sense of superiority, we are mortal.”

 

“And it must be you guys who erased the history of Chenmi, the archmage that Light loved the most.”

 

Swoosh-!

 

Octavia's light magic and black spear were constantly clashing. Octavia, who began to use her light magic in earnest, seemed to be completely out of touch with Misha even in her close combat.

 

Jin and Misha were in charge of Octavia, and the rest were in charge of the spectres. Murakan also tried to focus on Jin and Misha, but Misha shouted.

 

"Hey. While protecting allies, play the role of my auxiliary shadow force. If you want to catch that, it's much more efficient that way. Don't waste your shadow force by attacking.”

 

[Oh, what? Auxiliary shadow force? This Murakan? Ha! Are you crazy?]

 

“I don’t have enough time to look after you, so shut up and listen.”

 

[No matter how…… tsk!]

 

Boom-!

 

The black spear and the light awl collided again, creating a shock wave. Part of Misha's helmet, made of shadow force burst open and revealed her eyes, and rays of light poured through them.

 

Pit, the cuts under her eyes spurted out like drops of blood.

 

However, Misha also left a stab wound on Octavia's thigh, and Jin continued to press to keep Octavia from attacking further.

 

“Open the sword of overlord encirclement!”

 

As Ruyan shouted, the sword saints formed a circle and raised their aura. The reason the rest of the martial artists could fight on equal footing with the 30 true spectre was because their lives were guaranteed.

 

From then on, Murakan decided to play the role of a auxiliary without saying anything. His wide-area attack was somewhat lacking in breaking through the shield of all members of the Wraith, and there was a great deal of concern that his allies would be endangered if he concentrated on breaking through one point.

 

Black smoke extending from Murakan enveloped Misha. The black spear and armor were stained even blacker, and Misha's movements became sharper.

 

As the sword of overlord encirclement unfolded, the magic of the spectre could not be directed towards Jin, Misha, and Octavia at all.

 

The patterns on the bodies of the sword saints were getting more and more ugly. Deep wrinkles appeared on the hand holding the sword, revealing the fact that they were rapidly aging.

 

Jin was uneasy about that, but Ruyan said.

 

“Sir Jin, don’t worry about us. Until this war is over, we won't collapse with exhaustion.”

 

All heaven and earth shuddered madly with the shock of war. The aftermath of the battle in the sky hit the ground like an artillery shell, but no other shocks intervened in the battlefield between Jin, Misha, and Octavia.

 

Plutonian Battle god 4th sword technique

 

Erosion

 

Taking advantage of time bought by Misha, Jin stabbed Sigmund in front of Octavia and used battle god technique erosion.

 

A column of thunderbolt surged up, and a thousand blue dots were aimed near Octavia.

 

Right after Jin pulled out Bradamante, thunderbolts of erosion raged along the mark.

 

When thunderbolts began to fall, Octavia had already left the area where the mark was concentrated, and only an afterimage of her light remained where she stood.

 

'It's just to the point where I have to use a battle god move to create an opening.'

 

It was not easy to even create an attacking opportunity without that level of skill.

 

Fortunately, Octavia was the same. She had no choice but to use magic at the level of secret techniques to attack Jin and Misha.

 

Amidst the entanglement of thunderbolt and magic of the five elements, the three were only confirming each other's appearances through afterimages.

 

hook-!

 

The tip of Octavia's wand stabbed someone in the chest. As it was, she concentrated her mana on the tip of her wand and exploded it, and it was only after seeing the opponent tear apart that she was able to recognize who it was.

 

‘Jin Runcandel? No, it must be a shadow force doll made by the black dragon.'

 

Octavia calmly prepared for her next move. Looking around her, she could see that shadow force dolls were laid all over the place.

 

'Siege……!’

 

Octavia couldn't believe it was all bait or trap.

 

Each ten dolls were in different postures. The posture of wielding the shadow force Sword and the Shadowless Spear.

 

Which of them is real, and whether the fake sword techniques and spear techniques are just illusions?

 

Octavia had no way of knowing.

 

'It's just a problem that needs to be dealt with once and for all.'

 

A radiance hung over her grip and wand. She intended to completely erase the entire battlefield where the three were fighting with light-attribute magic.

 

“Kaaaa……!”

 

The moment Octavia let out her scream, the shadow force dolls that rushed at her exploded or melted in the shockwave of light.

 

‘Was it all an illusion? I don't feel any backlash.'

 

If so, the attack on the illusion has been proven to be an illusion. Thanks to this, she is able to remove one of trap elements.

 

At that time, Jin and Misha briefly left the battlefield while taking advantage of the opportunity to set up the doll.

 

Right next to it, to the ground where the party and the Wraiths are fighting.

 

And the two of them were able to cut off the head of one person by ambushing from the rear of the spectres that were confronting the party.

 

“It’s like watching a stupid bullfight, Octavia Zipfel. Did you really think we would focus all our energy on you?”

 

Misha said with a smile, and Jin shrugged his shoulders as he tossed the head of the spectre he had cut off somewhere.

 

“The spectre has no history of meeting me and producing good results. Now there are twenty-nine left, how many people do you think will be able to return alive?”
