Vs Dagruel Part 2
Adalman stood on the
back of the Death Dragon, Wenti, as he glared at the ground.
Wenti who was soaring
high in the sky with her original appearance, that of a wicked dragon, was
scattering around an ominous aura.
Human who have weak
resistance will die just by being exposed to her aura. However, on the contrary
it gives power to Adalman.
‘
Fumu
’
with a nod, Adalman began thinking.
Making pre-battle
statements would be futile as the oppositions opinion was so far off.
Against Dagruel’s army,
which already invaded and trespassed the national borders, even warning is
meaningless.
If that’s the case, he
decided that it might be okay for him to cast a very flashy extreme magic as
the sign of the start of the war.
Adalman begins to chant
the incantation.
Though he can use it
without chanting, he lengthily chants it because of old habits and spiritual
buildup.
However, this
incantation of his, he thought that chanting it properly is better than going
the easy route.
The reason why is, it
can’t be used inside the labyrinth――or rather, it was unusable due to him
lacking the magic power while he was alive――he had the knowledge, but this is
the first time he’s decided to use the magic for real.
If it’s for a flashy
magic, then it will be good. Such was his idea.
Trying not to be too
eager chanting the incantation for the first time in his life, he looks at the
ground and determine the sphere of influence of the magic.
He didn’t care whether
it will activate or not.
According to the ancient
documents, it’s an extreme magic that needs several Archmages to activate it.
It’d be funny if he
couldn’t invoke the magic, fortunately there’s no witnesses here. So, he will
just cast a different magic at that time.
(Well now, this magic
will become the signal for the start of the war. Please succeed!)
While Adalman prayed so,
the perfect magic mastery effect of the Ultimate Gift
『
Necromicon
』
is
activated.
Adalman’s knowledge is
being corrected by Seeker of Truth, and words are engraved into his mind. It
seems that if he succeed in chanting the spell in the first time, he will be
able to invoke the magic immediately for the second time.
(Ah, I see…… in this
case, I understand that chanting the incantation is not necessary.)
Filled with a pleasant
feeling of fulfillment, Adalman understood his ability.
And then ――
[1]
「
Well then, you better
experience this properly――an ancient extreme magic
[2]
――”Tempest Meteor
[3]
”!!
」
――In an instant,
glittering dazzling lights pours down from the magic formation that appeared
suddenly in the sky.
It’s as beautiful as the
wonder of a starry night……. However, it’s a dreadful light that brings forth
death and destruction.
Even though it’s a grand
magic that would need several Archmages of old to successfully cast, the
completed extreme magic of Adalman is several levels above it in scale and
power. And it’s magic that starts with Tempest in its name symbolizing their
country.
With the correction of
Ultimate Gift
『
Necromicon
』
,
he had shown this world the perfected result.
The best that the past
Archmages able to summon were just several meteorites.
Even so, it was a grand
magic of strategic-class showing a great effect as anti-army magic, but…… the
number of meteorites summoned by the magic that Adalman invoked exceeds 1.000.
The ground is rained
down by meteorites with diameter of 50cm~1m, spreading death to Dagruel’s
troops.
Even if the giants are
known for their superior regeneration power, there’s no meaning if they
received damage they can’t regenerate. The limbs that tried to catch the
meteorite are blown off, and their heads are crushed.
The giant race who
intended to invade with their huge power is at their wit’s end as they weren’t
even able to escape.
The extreme magic that
Adalman cast showed more effect than he had intended.
Only by one magic,
nearly one third of Dagruels army became unable to fight.
「
Look, Gadra. As I
expected, my magic is wonderful right?
」
Surprised by the result
having more effect than expected, Adalman boasts it to his companion, Gadra,
like it’s natural.
Because his bone face
doesn’t have an expression, he’s safe knowing that his true feelings weren’t
exposed.
Being able to boast to
the man who is his rival is the greatest thing, above all else.
It was not amusing for
Gadra who came to this war against his will, but he can’t help admitting the
power of Adalman’s extreme magic.
For Gadra-roushi who is
a newcomer, he wanted to attain some achievement.
You see, since he earned
his affiliation with Demon Lord Rimuru only by deserting the Empire, it was
painful, not being useful at all.
This war was a
competition for the hegemony of this world. He thought, if he couldn’t be
useful now, he’d end up being useless throughout in his career history.
Although he’s taken part
in the discussion of various researches, he’s not satisfied with just that.
「
Humph. Shut up! I will
show you the real extreme magic!
It’s just that, because
my magic power is not enough, could I have you cooperate with me……
(Rather, what the heck
is this guy, how can he learn such magic!? His forte should be Divine Magic and
Undead Magic though……
This kind magic is my
specialty you know…… I’m, sad.)
」
Gadra with Adalman’s
cooperation commencing the chant of the incantation while harboring an
indescribable feeling.
Gadra receives the aid
of Ultimate Gift
『
Grimoire
』
and
understand the principle of the incantation as well as Adalman.
(Indeed, this is really
wonderful! Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough energy even with my magic
power……)
Gadra regrets that he’s
unable use the magic just with his own power, but it can’t be helped and he
come to a clear decision.
He had reincarnated
repeatedly and was proud of his enormous amounts of energy, far more than most
people, but compared with the high-ranking of Tempest, he is just an
insignificant person.
There’re frustrated
feelings of being defeated by Adalman who once was his rival, but he
understands that being prideful is useless.
So he chooses the
strongest magic in his knowledge and begins to chant it.
The highest level of
darkness magic that even Adalman don’t know.
While Adalman just used
probably one of the highest level summoning spells. If Adalman is able to use
summoning arts, it’s not strange that its application usage reached the
ultimate level.
‘Then, with the highest
level of darkness magic he’s most skillful in, let’s show it in this place!’
Gadra thought so.
And――
「
Oh thou who suffers in
everlasting starvation, heed my call! “Nihilistic Hazard
[4]
”!!
」
The strongest of Divine
Magic is the ultimate anti-personnel destruction magic “Disintegration” which
is well-known.
It’s known that there’re
a few people who can use it, but its high power is guaranteed.
It’s said that person
who receives a direct hit and can survive doesn’t exist
[5]
. However, if there’s
weakness of this magic, it might be that it’s a single target magic.
The attack range is
extremely short. It was a natural reason why the magic has a high power, but
against an army it was a useless magic.
Because he’s well
informed about this matter, it might be why Adalman used the strongest spell in
summoning magic――
――And what Gadra chose
was the opposite of “Disintegration”, the strongest large-scale annihilation
spell of darkness magic.
A very large magic
formation emerges on the ground and the sky.
And, like connecting the
sky and the ground, dark electric discharge begun to appear――and innumerable
spheres of electricity were released.
The fang of darkness
that swallows all substances.
It’s darkness magic that
brings void to this world and is considered as one of the forbidden spells.
The void let loose in
the world doesn’t vanish until it’s negative energy turns null.
Everyone inside the
barrier of the magic formation that links the ground and the sky is devoured
and their existence is erased.
It was one of the
ultimate magics that was feared, as a mistake in its control can bring
destruction to the world.
「
Wahahahaha! How’s that!
Amazing right!?
」
「
You fool! What are you
thinking! If I didn’t help you, you would absolutely fail to control it you
know?!
」
「
Th, that’s might be
right, but I want to be in the spotlight too!
」
「
That’s not an excuse! To
use such dangerous magic……
」
Adalman is stunned.
Certainly, as this world
might be destroyed if Gadra fails his control of the magic, Gadra can’t make
any excuse.
He was confident in his
control, but he almost loses his consciousness as he didn’t have enough energy.
He succeeded in his
experiment before with his own energy, and the best he could do was to confine
several people inside the field. It’s only to the degree of better than an
anti-personnel spell.
It was barely a success
at that time, but it would end with casualty that a village disappeared in case
he failed in his control.
That’s because he was
only putting a little energy in it, when he put enormous magic essence to
invoke the magic like what they done right now, the world will be really in
crisis.
But, that’s only the
story if he failed.
「
We-well, it’s all good
right. It’s a success!
」
Gadra who’s not
reflecting, could be called as a degenerate mad genius.
Adalman letting out a
given up sigh as he recalled the thing.
It would be useless even
if he says anything anyway, in fact, there’s no problem since he succeeded.
Besides, they seemed to
succeed in greatly reducing the number of the enemy’s army with two extreme
magic.
As the giant race could
be said as a lump of energy, they seem not to be totally annihilated as they
can counter the minus energy.
But still, when compared
to their original number, the number had already decreased by a half. Normally
in such situation people would give up the war and withdraw.
Then what will be their
choice……?
With that thought,
Adalmans group would breathlessly witness it with their eyes.
――The Giants continue
their attack without minding the death of their comrades.
Those who avoided
instant death regenerated from their damage with their transcendence
regeneration like it was nothing ――They didn’t show any behavior indicating
that they mind about their decrease in number.
Their appearance is very
eerie and aroused fear to those who opposed them.
But that’s in case the
people who fight them had a sense of fear.
Adalman and co are fed
up after seeing the attitude of Dagruel’s army.
「
Good grief…… Do those
people didn’t feel fear?
」
「
Not at all, I guess.
Usually when thinking about countermeasures, they should have pull back
immediately.
」
Looking at each other
face, the two nod in agreement of each other’s thoughts.
「
Should
we fall back?
」
「
Yeah.
We used too much magic power. Let’s withdraw.
However, I’m glad that
my corps is the Immortal Legion, which don’t fear death.
The Giant race army,
which thought nothing of death, they’re more difficult than a mere death
soldier……
」
「
Completely.
But, it’s good that we can reduce their number here.
They’re still a threat
even with such number, but they would be defeated if the clash begins as they
didn’t know anything.
」
「
There’s
no meaning having the advantage of number. Oh well, let’s return and report it
to Shion-dono
」
Adalman caressed the
head of the Death Dragon Wenti and gave her an order to withdraw.
He succeeded in the
opening by delivering a blow to the enemy with his magic accordingly to his
original objective. There’s no need to stay too long in the place.
He comes back quickly as
he need to report the threat of Dagruel’s army.
Their fearsome points
were their immovable mind and their super regeneration.
Even though it’s
possible to revive the Immortal Legion, it would be of course impossible if
they were crushed into small pieces.
He has the premonition
that the giants with their overwhelming destructive power will trample on the
Immortal legion.
Oh well, that’s fine.
Anyway, Adalman think
that it’s good as long as they’re able to decrease the number of the giants.
(At any rate, I need to
return and discuss about this.)
Adalman returned to the
camp while thinking about what would happen later.
??????????????????????????
The total number of
Chain of Restrain Titan Army was approximately 100.000.
For his army to be
reduced by about 50.000 before the clash with the enemy main force, even for
Dagruel, it was a miscalculation
For Dagruel, however, he
didn’t feel the loss at all.
That is because the
people killed by the magic had little strength and have no luck.
It’s true that it was a
splendid magic.
But, falling back due to
what can be assumed as anti-group magic is something that a soldier couldn’t
do.
In fact, the steps of
the true main force of the people he trusted will not be hindered by anyone.
The magic a while ago
was certainly splendid.
Probably it’s the work
of that Ghost King named Adalman who visited him to construct the transfer
magic formation before.
As expected, he has a
superb ability.
And also his magician
friend who looks like a wise man, it wouldn’t be strange if the second magic is
his work.
They’re a wonderful
people. As an enemy, they make his heart excited.
It just unfortunately,
Dagruel can’t be defeated
by magic
.
Because, as a true
giant, he has the absolute ability called
『
Magic
Nullity
』
.
By activating the Anti
Magic Guard (Absolute Magic Defense), it will automatically neutralize all
magic attacks.
As long as he has this
ability, he can ignore all magic attacks.
Therefore, people who
killed by the current magic are weak and an existence which can to be thrown
away.
Suddenly, he thinks
about his sons, Dagura, Ryura and Debura, those three.
They’re going to fight
against him, but what kind of fight they will show to him?
His sons whom only have
big power because he raised them indulgently, but their actual ability is not really
much.
Everyone around Dino
said that handing over the throne to those sons are fine, though he ignored
it…..
It’s must be the work of
that crafty guy. Anyway, he let him corrupt his sons, and it might be a
compliment that he thought to add them as his subordinates.
……Or possibly, his aim
might be actually was to deprave Dagruel and making him retire after foreseeing
this current situation.
As a matter of fact, he
was anticipating the current, this situation.
――By depraving and
making Dagruel retire, is it possible to escape from Veldanava’s rule?
‘Am I thinking into it
too much?’ so Dagruel denied the thought .
That good-natured friend
of his is also affiliated with Velda. That’s right, we two can’t go against
Velda’s order.
Because it’s absolutely
impossible to go against their creator master.
But, in case of his
sons, they’re released from that curse.
(That’s right, I….. Did
I wish for my sons to live freely?)
Even so, Dagruel won’t
hold back if they stand in front of him as an enemy.
(They should be
stronger. At least, they could last for a bit against me.)
Dagruel has no
hesitation.
He only accomplishes his
mission.
Simple and frank, as he
was a soldier.
And so――
The power of the Giants
sweep over this battlefield.
