I'm really not a top magician

"This is all a conspiracy of Galandor Nelandriel."

Aozaki Touko looked ahead with a wary look on her face. "His goal is for you to break the fairy's barrier, seize the holy sword, and become the new King Arthur."

Aozaki Touko briefly explained Kailando's conspiracy to those present.

This explanation also confirmed that what the fairy said was indeed true.

"As expected of a Grand Mage, even with my massive Wild Hunt army, I couldn't stop you. Instead, you stopped me."

The figure of Kailando emerged from the smoke and dust.

It was at least ten meters tall and twenty meters long. Its enormous body had long lost its human form and instead resembled a hound. However, its body was not made of flesh and blood, but rather of an unstable substance flowing like lightning. This lightning substance surged across its surface, and one could even vaguely see something.

Those things look like humans!

Shatiao Aige was truly frightened by Kailando's appearance. She couldn't imagine that a human could endure living in such a state: "He's like this..."

Aozaki Touko lit a cigarette and explained, "He's commanded all the Wild Hunt in this area, and his soul is even beginning to attempt to merge with them. Judging by the size of the catacombs, there should be another 100 or 200 Wild Hunt waiting for us outside."

"One or two hundred?" Shatiao Aige was stunned.

At most, they only have the fighting power of three people here, and the fairies next to them not only cannot provide any help, but have even become important objects of protection.

According to Orange, once Kailando obtains the holy sword, he will completely master the spiritual veins here and he will become stronger.

The only way is to protect these fairies and the holy sword just like protecting Athena.

boom!

Roaring sounds continued to come from all around.

The surrounding walls began to shake, and then the Wild Hunt broke through the wall and came out from the gap.

Soon everyone was surrounded in the Holy Lake area.

P.S.: The closer I get to the end, the more stressed I feel. I'll definitely write an outline next time, or I'll eat it live.

Chapter 31

"Ow—!"

The Wild Hunt roared at the thundering sky, and then attacked Sha Tiao Aige and others.

But at the same time, Aozaki Orange also drew a few runes,

Together with the runes left behind by Shatiao Aige, they combined together to form a translucent green barrier that blocked the Wild Hunt army.

The Wild Hunter in the front was completely annihilated by the power of the runes after colliding with the barrier.

But Kailando will not stop attacking because of this. Under his command, the Wild Hunt army is like a group of crazy zombies, madly crashing into the barrier with suicidal attacks.

The fluctuations of magic power flowed on the barrier, and with the impact of many wild hunters, a gap was directly created in the barrier.

The wild hunters rushed in from the gap, hugging each other.

"—"

Following Orange's spell, a flame burned the rushing Wild Hunt to ashes.

But just as they eliminated the monsters in the front row, the Wild Hunters in the back row rushed in, and were then killed by Aika Shajo and Leif together.

But Orange not only has to deal with the Wild Hunt rushing in, but also has to maintain the barrier.

Under the suicidal impact of the Wild Hunt, the barrier has begun to crumble.

Just when the barrier was about to collapse, Kailando clapped his hands, and the Wild Hunt army quickly stopped all attacks and then slowly withdrew from the barrier.

"You should understand that you have no chance of winning against my army," said Kailando.

Facing Kailando's surrender, Aozaki Touko had no reaction. She just lit a cigarette silently, then turned back to look at Sado Aika:

"Sha Tiao, what do you think we should do?"

"Me?" Sajo Aika was surprised. "Why are you asking me? Aren't you the strongest here?"

"Nonsense! I know you're a lazy person, but in this situation, as a genius, you should be serious."

Aozaki Touko said this seriously, and even Leif beside her looked at her with anticipation.

Kailando, who was far away, saw them discussing, but had no intention of stopping them.

His offer of surrender was merely a sowing of seeds for this small group.

Even though she was well prepared, it was still a bit difficult for her to face a crown-rank magician, the veteran-ranked Leif, and the Clock Tower's number one genius, Aika Sajo.

It's not that we can't win, but we have to sacrifice a lot of wild hunts.

Because he has to face not only these few people, but also other magicians in Britain and even the Clock Tower. It would not be worthwhile if he loses a lot of combat power before that.

So he tried to surrender to Aozaki Touko and others.

If anyone among them has the idea of giving up, then his goal will be achieved.

The most terrifying thing about a fist is not its immense power,

Rather, it is about clenching all five fingers together and then hitting out with all its strength.

A fist that cannot be clenched is useless.

But at this moment, Aika Satiao was defeated by Orange.

How come at this point, you still believe I'm a genius?

She suddenly felt irritated and confronted Orange directly: "Orange, Leif, come here. Let me be honest, I'm not the genius you think I am."

"But a genius among geniuses?" Leif interrupted.

"Not really! And don't make assumptions or interrupt me before I finish speaking."

Sajo Aika said unhappily, "I'm actually just a very ordinary, mediocre magician. I'm not the Clock Tower's greatest genius."

Sajo Aika thought about it carefully. If she continued to let these people maintain that misconception, it would be fine if it happened under normal circumstances, but now it was a battlefield where life and death were at stake.

Shajo Aige herself felt insecure about rashly handing her life over to a rookie like herself.

But Orange didn't show any surprise. Instead, he nodded calmly and said:

"I know all this."

Now it was Aika Sajo's turn to be surprised.

She hid her identity in the clock tower for a whole year, and no one except her master, Bao Shi Weng, could see through her secret.

I didn't expect Orange to figure it out himself. He really deserves to be the crown magician.

"Orange...what's wrong with you?"

Shatiao Aige suddenly became a little curious. She looked at Chengzi, her eyes full of curiosity and relief from being out of suffering.

Aozaki Orange casually blew out a puff of smoke and said:

"Sajo, I knew from the moment I met you that you're great at everything except being too modest. I don't know what experiences you had as a child that shaped you into this character, but if you ask me, excessive modesty is another form of inferiority."

Aozaki Touko noticed Sajo Aika's dazed expression, but she probably had no idea what Sajo Aika was thinking. "If even you can't be called a genius, then there are probably no geniuses in this world. Rune magic, even after I restored the runes, few people can learn it. To put it simply, it's just a lack of talent."

"Ultimately, magic itself relies on talent. Even if you can hone your skills over time and gain experience, that experience can't change the reality of your own inferior magic circuits."

"But you are different from the others. Although I don't mean to brag, I have been considered a well-known genius since I was a child. However, after I met you, I was also deeply attracted by your talent, just like Bao Shi Weng."

"Not only did you learn the runes after just one viewing, you even created a whole new set of runes on the spot. This alone is enough to prove that you're not just a genius, but a genius among geniuses."

Facing Aozaki Touko's praise, Sajo Aika didn't know what expression to use.

You may even have faced this situation so many times that you have become numb to it and don't even feel angry anymore.

It can no longer be explained.

Sajo Aika sighed helplessly and silently accepted Orange's question:

"If it's up to me to decide, there are only two options I can think of."

"The first option is to surrender and hand over the Holy Sword to Kailando. A gentleman's revenge is never too late. Let's take Luna and flee quickly. Report the situation to the Clock Tower and let it handle this matter. If we continue to waste time here, we may die at any time."

Aozaki Touko and Leif nodded. Sajo Aika's plan was indeed the best. The power of an individual was limited, and relying on just a few individuals to resist an army of hundreds of Wild Hunts was a bit of a fantasy.

Although Orange thought that if she was well prepared, she could do it alone, but unfortunately she really didn't bring enough dolls.

So running away is the best option.

But the fairy on the side became anxious after hearing Shajo Aika's plan.

He looked at the king he had chosen with resentment, wanting to refute his orders, but he also felt that he was right. As long as the result was victory, sacrificing a small number of goblins was not a problem.

However, Sajo Aika noticed the fairy's expression:

"As for the second option, it's to fight with Kailandor, but we can't fight head-on, we can only use wits. The only way I can think of is to let Luna, who is not present, launch a surprise attack on Kailandor. According to what you said before, Orange, these Wild Hunt armies are all controlled by Kailandor, so as long as Luna can launch a surprise attack on Kailandor, everything will be over."

The second method is indeed good, but...

"Luna probably won't be able to come." Orange said simply.

"Her injury hasn't healed yet?" asked Aika Satiao.

However, she clearly noticed a strange expression on Orange's face. "I remember her magic seal had a very fast healing effect."

"But……"

Just as Orange was hesitating whether to tell Sha Tiao the truth, Kailando suddenly spoke from a distance:

"But she's dead."

"what?"

Shatiao Aige looked at Kailando in surprise, with a vague guess in her mind, "What... do you mean?"

"Literally. If you were expecting Luna to sneak up on me, I'm sorry, but I killed her."

Kailando said, "I killed her with my own hands in order to seize her magic seal. If Aozaki Touko hadn't chased after me, perhaps the child could still be saved, but now, she should have been dead long ago."

"Why?" Sajo Aika asked seriously, "She's obviously your daughter. You should also be aware of her admiration for you. She became a magus out of admiration. To help you, she worked tirelessly to help the family make money. Even the construction of this workshop is thanks to her contribution..."

"I know what you said. After all, there is nothing easier to control than someone who worships you."

Luna clenched her fists: "So, Luna has been deceived by you so far!"

"I don't mean to lie, but my hopes were taken away by the child a long time ago. I should have been the hero of the family, but Merlin's words gave me my entire life. So when I heard that Luna was chosen, I was very disappointed. From then on, I vowed to take back everything I had lost from her bit by bit! As for the father she worships, it's nothing but her delusion."

Kailando stretched out something that looked like a hand and scratched his head. "Shatiao Aige, as a senior in the magic world, let me remind you again—"

"—Yearning is the emotion furthest from understanding!"

As Kailando spoke, he picked up a piece of debris from the ground and threw it in front of Shatiao Aige.

Sha Tiao Aige picked up the fragment, which was the fragment of the Golden Arches.

This fragment is really made of pure gold,

So heavy,

So precious,

But now it is scattered all over the ground like garbage, having long lost its original appearance.

An inexplicable anger arose in Shatiao Aige's heart.

"Unforgivable."

"You are the only one I cannot forgive."

"Only today, I will chop you down!"

Aika Sajo snatched the holy sword from the goblin's hand.
