"But Miss Ella—"
"Lotte should know, right? That guy can even use tenth-tier magic. It was Ella who broke Iris's 'Sloth Curse' earlier. He'll be fine."
"Why don't you stand up, Miss Ella?"
"Hmm...it's probably battling the seal in the spiritual world. If we just wait patiently, it will definitely recover on its own. Furthermore, this seal can be broken by the holder of the Seal of Sloth."
"Then grab the Seal of Sloth! 'Fly'."
"Hello!"
Breaking free from Mitis's restraints, Loti flew straight to the highest sky. At the same time, the three people on the ground also exploded.
"Frenzy"
The clear sapphire eyes suddenly turned red as if they were about to drip blood. Angeline's hand holding the scythe turned blue in an instant because of excessive force. She jumped to the highest point of the earth wall created by Oz in one step, holding the scythe at an angle, and golden light particles slowly gathered all over her body.
Charge
If you want to cause damage to Oz who holds the Seal of Sloth, you can only bet on the strongest attack. The most effective one is "Charge", which can consume a large amount of magic power in a short period of time and pour all the power into a single attack.
"Xiao Shengan, buy me some time."
"Um."
Oz once said that only the person holding the Seal of Sloth can lift the "Curse of Sloth". It is very obvious what to do next, that is, to defeat Oz and hold the Seal of Sloth in one's own hands.
Very rarely, Fukagan began to chant the spell in incomprehensible words.
Dragon Language: Shadow Dance
Dragon Language: One Hit Kill
Dragon Language Curse
Though barely noticeable in the darkness, it was still clear that two identical figures had materialized beside Fuka. A standard Shadow Dance could only summon a single clone, which vanished upon attack, so few warriors would waste their time on such a useless spell. However, for assassins, Shadow Dance was practically a must-have skill, and chanting it in Dragon Language had a profoundly different effect.
Not only has the number of clones increased, but even the defect of dissipating after being attacked has been compensated. As long as they are not fatally injured, the clones will not disappear. Except that maintaining the clones requires additional magic power and spirit, and weapons cannot be transformed, it is no different from suddenly having two more combat forces.
As for "Curse", it is one of the assassination techniques that reduces the enemy's reaction speed.
He ordered his clones to attack from both sides to distract Oz, while Shen Gan himself eliminated his presence, jumped into the air and prepared to launch a fatal blow from above Oz's head.
"Earth Shield."
Chi.
The clone's attack first struck the rising earth wall, but it only left a scratch less than a finger deep. Even when Fukagan himself swung with the Curse of Undine, he only managed to cut into the "Earth Shield".
Shen Gan retreated immediately after one strike, without giving Oz any time to react. However, what was puzzling was that Oz himself did not seem to want to fight back. He stood there motionless, as if he was thinking about something.
As for Iris, she was running towards the place where Ella fell. Perhaps she felt that chanting magic one by one was too slow to deal with Kumi, so Iris directly used magic props to clear a path, and all the places she passed were craters left by the explosion.
"The God of Death—"
"Angelina, get out of the way!"
Before Angelini could finish preparing her magic, Mitis swooped down from the sky and picked up Angelini who was resting on the earth wall by the waist. As for Shen Gan who was standing beside her, he jumped straight towards Iris as if he had sensed the danger.
His sight shifted to about a hundred meters in the air.
Magical power was injected into Hela's magic mark, and strange blue lines suddenly appeared on Hela's black gun body. Without hesitation, Luti loaded one of the three magic consumables into the magazine.
Eye of Loki
Corrodes everything it touches.
Previously, Lotte had used it in the mansion of Marquis Sepro in the Kingdom of Baris. As a result, the ant-hive-like underground space collapsed completely, creating a crater hundreds of meters in diameter throughout the capital. Ella had deemed it a tool that could only be used on buildings, but now, Oz had become her target.
The Mark of Original Sin is so solid that even super-level magic cannot destroy it, so there is no need to worry that Oz's death will take the Mark of Sloth with it. In this way, the Mark of Sloth can be obtained to free Ella.
"Repent for your ignorance."
Closing her fragile eyes, Loti gently pulled the trigger. If Mitis hadn't reminded her that Ella would be fine, Loti would have definitely done something more extreme. But after learning the solution, her top priority changed from revenge to rescue.
The recoil was accompanied by an orange-red flash from the cartridge.
The dull and inconspicuous "Eye of Loki" flew straight towards Oz, but due to the huge fluctuations of the magic power contained in it, Oz discovered its existence the moment the projectile appeared.
"Tsk, fifth-level magic."
At this point, Oz had to take it seriously. If it were a wide-area annihilation spell, the entire army would be annihilated if they weren't careful. Rather than searching for the attacker, Oz chose to confront him.
The crimson-gold body slammed heavily onto the ground, and with the rumbling of the earth, Oz rushed straight into the sky—it would be very troublesome if the fifth-level magic were to land on the ground—and then, his two-meter-tall body instantly became ten meters in size, and his entire body was lit up with a dazzling crimson-gold light.
"Crimson Gold Guardian"
This is the easiest spell for Kumi to learn, and it's also the strongest defensive spell they can master. For example, the Mithril Kumi, when in the "Mithril Guardian" state, can ignore all second-tier spells. While this spell only lasts less than three seconds and can only be used once a month, it can still turn the tide of battle.
When applied to Oz, the effectiveness of "Crimson Gold Guardian" skyrocketed to an outrageous degree, blocking any fifth-tier spell of any attribute within five seconds, and it could be used five times a month. While this might be considered excessive in isolation, considering the sheer number of Crimson Gold Kumi, it made sense. Currently, Oz is the only Crimson Gold Kumi in the Kumi clan.
As if time had slowed down, the bullet, so small that it was almost invisible, collided with Oz, whose whole body was shining with crimson-gold light.
呲——
It wasn't a loud noise that would make you cover your ears, but rather a strange corrosive sound that seemed to penetrate into the soul. If there were humans standing nearby, they would definitely tremble from the soul at this sound.
In a stalemate, the dark green light representing the Eye of Loki and the crimson-gold on Oz's body competed with each other. Whenever the dark green light wanted to spread, the crimson-gold would surround the dark green like a tide. The stalemate lasted only less than a second, but it felt like a century.
Finally, Oz, unable to fly, fell to the ground due to gravity, and his ten-meter body slowly shrank to its original size.
『Eye of Loki』was counteracted by 『Crimson Gold Guard』.
If Oz could sweat, he would be sweating profusely now. If the magic just now had lasted a little longer, the power of the "Scarlet Gold Guardian" would have disappeared. Oz could even feel the tingling pain at the point of contact, which was a symbol of his body being corroded. Even the so-called most solid scarlet gold would be corroded after being touched. It was really hard to imagine what the result would be if the blow just now fell to the ground. I'm afraid even the so-called immortal Kumi would dissolve in an instant.
Who is it and what kind of magic is this?
Oz looked around but found no signs of magic circles emerging or magic fluctuations. Generally speaking, when a magic caster chants magic, some magic will leak out, and at that time he can rely on perception to find the source and interrupt the chanting of the spell. However, the attack just now appeared near him without any warning, and by the time he noticed it, the magic had already been formed.
Could it be that the other party is someone who can perfectly control magic power?
Oz didn't think this was possible. If it was ordinary first-level magic, it was not uncommon for people to be able to perfectly control the magic power and not let it leak out. But if the target was changed to fifth-level magic, Oz believed that there were simply few people on the continent who could do it, unless it was Entalosphiel who defeated him with just one blow a few days ago.
What is certain is that the other party is only looking for a person named "Dorothy" and has nothing to do with this war. It is not that I believe the other party's one-sided words, but the accurate information I have obtained from various sources.
Then who was the person who chanted that magic just now?
Chapter 80: The Mage of Pojun
No one could answer Oz. The instigator, Lotte, had changed her position after firing a shot.
Flying magic has a limited ability to rise to a certain height. At Lotte's level, one hundred meters is the limit. To conceal herself, Lotte used the "air pedal" from melee magic. Although the pedal's duration as a fulcrum is limited, as long as she creates the next pedal before it disappears, she can continue to move upwards. Of course, the prerequisite is that she has sufficient magic power.
After drinking another bottle of magic potion and feeling the surging magic power filling her body, Lotte moved slowly while staring down.
"Were you resisted?"
If Iris was there, Lotte would know how Oz blocked the attack just now and could prescribe the right remedy. However, things that don't exist don't exist, and it's impossible to achieve them even if you wish for them. Now you can only rely on your own speculation to decide the outcome of the battle.
Was the attack just blocked by Kumi's innate magic or the power of the Sloth Seal? If it was the former, then we can continue to consider it. But if it was the power of the Sloth Seal, things become extremely difficult. At least from what we just saw, the Sloth Seal can achieve continuous fire.
"Consider the worst-case scenario..."
Is there any way to break this predicament? He only has two "Wrath of Hephaestus" spells left, equivalent to fifth-tier magic. He has never used them, so he can't tell their power, but Ella said it's a spell that focuses on power and is even stronger than Chloe's tears.
But are these two shots really enough?
It’s not that Loti doesn’t trust Ella, but the next action cannot afford any mistakes. Loti frowned and ignored the lavender twintails blown away by the morning breeze.
If there were any useful tools left...
Suddenly, Luti thought of a prop that Camisia had temporarily lent her a long time ago when she was still in the Western Demon Tribe.
"One-hit secret treasure"
Legend has it that a former demon king once used the "One-Strike Secret Treasure" to shatter the supposedly unbreakable World Tree's barrier. According to Camisia, the "One-Strike Secret Treasure" is a single-use consumable item for ordinary people, as it takes centuries to recharge, a feat that ordinary people simply don't survive. Furthermore, the weapon's power depends on the user's abilities, so in her own hands, it might not even possess the power of a fourth-tier spell. Therefore, Lotte has kept it as a token of Camisia's trust. Initially at the Sacred Academy, Aisi, tasked with capturing Ella and returning her to the Demon Tribe, possessed the "One-Strike Secret Treasure," though, of course, he never used it.
"I didn't expect it to be used here. No, I have to trust Miss Camisia's decision."
Loti took out a crossbow that looked like a black box from the dimensional backpack behind her. The dark color made Loti think of a ferocious beast that would choose its prey.
With only one option left, there was no room for hesitation. After briefly considering the attack sequence, Lotte decided to use the "One-Strike Secret Treasure" as a follow-up attack. While theoretically, saving it for the middle attack before knowing its true power would be wise, the recoil generated by Hela's physical state meant it was impossible to pick it up with one hand. Therefore, she had to use Hela's attack first, then immediately put it into the dimensional backpack, and then use the "One-Strike Secret Treasure".
Lotte used Hela's scope to lock her target on Oz, who was still standing still but surrounded by many Kumi soldiers.
"Do you want to use yourself as a shield to protect the king? If possible..."
Luti couldn't help but glance in the direction of Ella, but because the distance was too far, she couldn't tell with the naked eye.
She took a deep breath, and the sunlight from the top of the mountain shone on Ruthie's face.
"No matter where you go, I will follow you—"Wrath of Helstos"
The crimson bullet, trailing a long flame, instantly cut through the sky at a speed that seemed to penetrate the core of the earth. However, this wasn't the only attack. With such skillful speed that it was astonishing, Lotte fired the second one.
Quickly putting away Hela and switching to the "Secret Treasure of One Strike", Lotte placed her hand on the black box in the middle of the crossbow and injected a little magic power into it. Then, just like a paper basin with a huge hole smashed in it, the magic power in her body poured out like a stream of water.
He would definitely exhaust his magic power, and would definitely fall to the ground.
But Mitis should be able to catch her. Just when Luti thought of this, the black box suddenly released a purple light, and an arrow as thick as a finger swooped down at a speed so fast that it was impossible to see clearly.
First hit.
A crimson-gold light shone from Oz's body, and his body grew larger again, swallowing up the attack that should have covered the entire training ground. The second attack that followed was also blocked in the same way.
Until the "Secret Treasure of One Strike" appeared.
While looking at the last purple arrow flying towards him, Oz turned his head slightly to glance at the human falling straight down in the distance.
"Is that you? I don't know what method you used to conceal the fluctuations of your magic power, but, for Kumi to be your opponent, your magic compatibility is too poor!"
"His Majesty."
"No problem, let me do it!"
The purple attack was obviously more powerful than the previous two attacks. Not only the innate magic "Scarlet Gold Guardian", but also all the "Blessings of the Holy Spirit of the Earth" of the Seal of Sloth were used by Oz.
A layer of pale yellow light shield appeared in front of the enlarged Oz, covering most of the training ground.
next second.
Click.
The purple arrow flashing with electric light penetrated deeply into the light shield, and tiny cracks instantly spread all over the earth, but the arrow did not lose its power due to the resistance of the light shield, but continued to rush towards Oz.
"'Scarlet Gold Guardian'!"
clang!
Like a high-speed truck crashing into a castle-sized bell, a dull sound echoed throughout the entire field. Even the "Scarlet Gold Guardian" that Oz trusted could not completely block it. The purple arrow pierced steadily into the left half of Oz's body. A crack appeared on the scarlet gold body, visible to the naked eye, but the power of the arrow ended there.
"You're a worthy opponent for being able to harm me with magic. However, using magic is a foolhardy decision. With the Mark of Sloth, no magic can work against me."
"Oh?"
"Who?"
The voice that seemed to appear in his ears startled Oz all over. Without hesitation, he poured a bottle of unknown liquid on himself, and the cracks created by the purple arrow disappeared. But what surprised Oz was that it seemed that he was the only one who heard the voice, and the more than a thousand soldiers waiting beside him did not react at all.
"Your Majesty? What's wrong with you?"
"...Did I hear it wrong?"
"No, I just don't want an ant-level person to hear my voice—well, since you attacked my lovely sister, it means you are mentally prepared to accept my wrath, right?"
A blonde girl who looked about sixteen years old appeared nearly twenty meters above Oz. At this distance, Oz only needed to use his "Gravity Field" to make her fall, but the enormous pressure emanating from the girl, especially the silver-white crown on her head, made Oz feel as if he could not even raise his head. It was not racial oppression, nor the gap in class, but the pressure accumulated over a long period of time, from the eternal pressure. Even Oz, as the king, could not help but feel a little frightened by this breath.
Oz glanced at his subordinates beside him. Like him, they all stared at the girl in mid-air while holding their weapons tightly to gain a sense of security.
Suddenly, Oz felt that the Mark of Sloth on his head was no longer just trembling, but was conveying fear to him, an emotion of retreat, shrinking, and even a bit of submission.
"Who are you?"
Ignoring Oz's call, the girl looked at the girl in her arms whose long lavender hair had spread out and seemed to have fainted.
"Is this Lotte...? Even after the magic power of the secret treasure was absorbed by a single blow, the soul was still intact. Her talent is pretty good, right? Speaking of which, it's not my own body, so I'm not used to it."
The girl moved her shoulders and neck, and then, as if she had discovered something, her purple eyes looking at Oz were full of teasing.
"What's wrong?"
“How, how is this possible!?”
In the field of vision, Oz was pointing the Seal of Sloth in his hand at Ella, no, to be more precise, it was Chloe who had borrowed Ella's body and transformed into a girl's body after passing through the Crown of Mistin.
