Decisive Battle (2)

Preleu, let your power enhance my movements!

Leon Hart flew up with the winds. He then charged in and galloped over the band of monsters.

He targeted the blonde black beauty wearing a red robe.

-Ectoplasmic Spear!

The silver-haired girl then swung her twin blades head-on and rushed through the monsters.

-Magic Swordsmanship: Howling Thunderstorms!

At the same time, the red-haired Mage lifted the Fire Dragon Kings Staff.

Mass Flare Cannon!

Genovia flaunted the Staff of the World.

Everyone, burn.

A firestorm appeared, burning a few tens of meters radius. She tapped the ground with the tip of her weapon.

Force Field.

A turquoise shroud surrounded Genovia.

All the incoming spiritual arts, raging magic swordsmanship techniques, and fiery spells were blocked.

Boom!

Despite the failure of their offensive, no one was disappointed.

They didnt give it their all.

They had to fight through the monsters, delivering attacks, burning things around them, and bombing them. The same went for those who could not concentrate their strength.

As they stepped back, Effir and Artis caught their breath.

Our mission is to buy time!

We just have to keep doing this!

Hence, Genovia was relaxed.

She mumbled, staring far beyond the basin.

I dont understand

She was in the middle of a battle, looking at the Upper Draconiums Ancient Dragons. He had the same question as Garhan did.

Why is there such a difference when their levels are similar?

Leon Hart gently explained why.

Considering the nature of the Guidelines, its not incomprehensible.

They were in a position to hang in there for another second.

The opponent asked for a conversation first, so there was no reason to miss such a good opportunity.

Theres probably no distinction between them and us from the perspective of the Alien monsters. Were all opponents to them. But even at the same level, isnt there a difference in the range?

If the opponent was a human being, they needed to reach at least 20 meters to figure out the level with Guidelines.

However, depending on their size, Dragons could be identified even when they were more than a hundred meters away.

And the level-measuring function of the Guidelines were derived from the energy grasp of Alien monsters.

Connecting those two characteristics led to a conclusion.

Dragons are five times wider than humans, which means theyll attract more creatures.

In other words, even at the same level, Dragons were recognized as a much larger prey than humans for Alien monsters.

In addition, that meant the perception range was also five times bigger.

It was not just that five times more of them attacked the Dragons.

The area is the square of the distance, so the actual number has to be tens of times larger, right?

Due to that, Han-bin and his group attracted only the ones that could fight with proper vigilance around them, but there were so many of their kind that it was hard to protect themselves at the same time.

That was why it didnt matter what the number of the Anti-Polymorph Necklaces was.

Because were not going to fight them anyway.

Of course, the power gap would have widened to the point where a powerful Dragon wouldnt even be able to lure it here if there were more than 20 monsters

Fortunately, thats not it. Thank you very much for your laziness, Mado Queen. Hahaha.

With a smile on the outside, Leon Hart was delighted.

All right, weve bought enough time!

Genovia looked shocked.

Was it

She hadnt even thought about that.

She was proud that she had studied the Guidelines more thoroughly than anyone else in Latna.

Damn, I have nothing to say about that. You have fooled me.

Genovias eyes changed with a bitter smile.

I admit it.

The arrogance disappeared.

I got bested.

With a serious face, she raised her right hand.

Prismatic Draco Rune!

A golden whirlwind soared into the air. Then it turned into seven rays of light and struck the earth.

Along with an explosion, all the lands within a 100 meters radius exploded.

In an instant, only Leon Harts party was left in front of Genovia.

Boom

With a roar, the earth vomited colorful light dragons.

The light dragons rippled all over the place.

Since youre so smart, we should fight properly against you!

The light dragons raided Leon Harts party in unison.

Everyone turned pale.

Gasp!

Her concentration and destructive power were different.

Freaking out, Leon Hart and Effir flew away. Artis tried his best to unfold a defensive barrier.

Boom!

Barely out of range, Effir was in tears.

Eek, you dont have to admit it!

Artiss expression was also stiff.

Did we show off too much?

Genovias attitude was completely different from what it had been a while ago.

Even if it meant resulting in excessive force, she tried to drive all the surrounding monsters away and do her best against Leon Harts party.

It would make Genovia even more fatigued, but it would also increase their risk of losing.

How long can we hold out against the strongest wizard on earth?

I pay respect to you for pushing me this much

Pointing with the staff, Genovia gave a stern look.

In return, Ill end you all here!

* * *

Grrrr!

Manakiras front foot hit the earth.

The ground cracked, and a dark red Aura burst out like a geyser.

Boom!

It was a trick that Latnas Aura Dragons usually used, pretending to miss their opponents and making a follow-up hit.

Of course, Kibie read through it.

Humph!

It wasnt difficult to respond to it if she had prepared in advance.

She had already slipped away with somersaults and was out of range before the Aura soared.

At the same time, she emitted a pitch-black Blade Aura from the tip of her spear.

-Aura Smash!

The attack hit Manakiras front foot. Her scales broke, and her blood spilled.

Ugh!

Moaning, she recoiled back.

And Manakiras stared at the little beauty in front of her in surprise.

Youre reading my trick completely.

Now you realize it?

Showing composure, Kibie swung her spear sideways.

Even though the opponent was an Ancient Dragon around level 140, it was easier to deal with her than expected. It was all thanks to Platers support.

In terms of the spiritual arts, he is better than Leon Hart.

Leon Harts tactics of beating the enemy directly as a Spiritist were, of course, powerful. However, he wasnt as strong as a supporting unit.

Then

Kibie glanced at Genovia.

Unlike before, everyone seemed to be fleeing.

As expected, they were no match to the Archmage if she did her best.

I need to get rid of this kid and join them over there!

Kibie held her long spear firmly to finish the battle.

Manakirass long neck suddenly bulged.

Youre good at fighting Dragons.

She also brought her front foot to her chest with her back bent.

But I havent revealed all my power either!

Kibie was surprised.

It was her first time seeing such a pose.

The Dragons she knew never posed like that in combat.

It wasnt a typical behavior

Why is she pretending to be an angry cat?

Manakiras shouted.

Let me show you what Dragons think of humans!

The reptilian giant began to step from side to side.

It was not a grand slam. She raised her toes and straightened her tail to act as the center vertebrae as she moved insolently!

And

Grrr!

She raised her front feet with a roar and tapped the ground slightly!

She pounced at Kibie several times in an instant.

Barely avoiding it, Kibie was confused.

Huh? What is this?

That wasnt how Dragons fought.

But it wasnt the first time she had seen it.

Isnt that the posture a cat takes when catching a mouse?

What nonsense

It was impossible to counterattack because it was the first time she had seen that technique all her life. All she could do was get away from it.

Gasping for breath, Kibie shouted in astonishment.

Are you crazy! Wheres your dignity, and how can you pretend to be a cat?

Manakiras was still quiet.

If youre a truly wise being, you should know that you can learn something even from a child!

She shouted without any shame.

This is the most effective way for Dragons to fight against small humans. Why should I be ashamed?

The Black Dragon cut through the air again.

As expected, she thrust her paw quickly!

Ugh!

There was a cold sweat on Kibies forehead.

It was a funny posture

But its really hard to deal with.

The techniques actual power was not a joke. It was the result of studying how to fight equally with humans.

Why are you even trying to fight against humans equally?

The mysterious Kibie soon got the answer.

Oh, the Top Four

Manakiras smirked.

I, once a foolish beast, made this tactic to kill Genovia.

That specialty was why she was chosen to be boosted instead of the others.

Manakiras could fight more efficiently than anyone else in the Upper Draconium if humans were the opponents!

Grrr!

She began to attack in earnest.

Kibies expression was crumpled by a barrage of forefoot jabs from all directions.

I I cant predict this!

* * *

The Sword King and the Thunder King, the two absolute powers, continued to clash.

Red flames blazed, and blue lightning sparked.

Argh!

Argh!

The horrendous screams of the monsters rang incessantly.

Countless beasts were dying while the two of the strongest beings were fighting.

Of course, it was just background noise for Ryu Han-bin, who focused as much as he could.

-Crosscut!

He attacked Garhan in every gap he could find.

He focused on the offensive, but he still held back to defend himself, preserving enough Aura for protection.

I need to figure out your skills a little bit more.

Once the Valtaras Fighting Spirit was activated, a time constraint would be activated as well. Therefore, he needed to get as much information as possible while other colleagues held out.

That way, he could raise the odds even a little bit

I can guess what youre up to.

While fighting, the Thunder King spoke calmly.

Youve learned well from Leon Hart. Thats how his tactics work.

Reading as much information as possible on this site and winning a clear victory on the spot.

Ryu Han-bin turned dark.

Garhan was still invulnerable.

Though Han-bin had already launched several attacks, Garhan was fine.

While paying attention to monsters around him, his swordsmanship was subtle and detailed enough to hold Ryu Han-bin back.

Han-bin couldnt read his techniques.

The other colleagues situation wasnt good either.

They seemed to be doing pretty well before, but now they were all in danger.

Im not going to lose before using my fighting spirit!

Ryu Han-bin increased the distance. A blazing fire rose from his whole body.

Garhan, who felt the momentum, raised an eyebrow.

Hmm, youre already using that? I dont think its the right time.

Han-bin replied while condensing the Aura.

Sometimes its better to push recklessly!

Vast Aura gathered endlessly. It simply converged to one point infinitely and became the seed of great destruction.

It looked like it would last that way forever, but in fact, it changed within a moment.

The seed germinated and turned into power.

-Valtaras Fighting Spirit!
