Chapter 94

Thud! Thud! Thud!

...Kieeek!

The soldiers who rushed out mercilessly stabbed the demons who had lost their sight.

At the same time, the mercenaries rushed out and tied up the panicked residents.

Despite being a makeshift operation, the situation is proceeding quite smoothly.

Of course, this smooth sailing didn\'t continue.

Shwirrrr!

Among the demons, there were some who were not affected by the super-large flashbang.

For example, like the [Giant Demon Cobra] that is currently rampant in front of us.

The [Giant Demon Cobra] is a creature that perceives the world using senses other than sight, such as its tongue that senses heat in the surroundings and its skin that senses vibrations.

Because of this, no matter how powerful the flashbang was, it couldn\'t have much effect on it.

However.

That doesn\'t mean that the existence of the [Giant Demon Cobra] is threatening.

With the other demons incapacitated, what can it do alone?

"Ah, that\'s the one that can see! Kill this one first!"

"Attack it all at once!"

"Uwaaaaah!"

Shwiii... Shwirrrr!

Slash!

When dozens of soldiers and knights rushed at it at once, the [Giant Demon Cobra]\'s head was cut off before it could even counterattack.

No matter how unnecessary sight was, and no matter how thick and dense its scales were, there was no match for a group attack.

Anyway.

"Okay, then I\'ll..."

I can\'t just stand by and watch.

With that thought, I came out of the temporary outpost.

The mana I used while detonating the super-large flashbang has now recovered to some extent.

It was time for me to step up.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Just in time.

"M-Mr First Place!"

Thompson came to where I was, bringing Kayla along.

I don\'t know how he found me in this large crowd, but it\'s amazing timing.

"Are your eyes okay, mister?"

"Huh? Uh... thanks to you signaling us to lie down. Was that magic just now done by Mr First Place?"

"Yes, I\'ve reached a new level of enlightenment. My understanding of light magic has also increased a lot."

"I see..."

Thompson looked at me with a subtle gaze.

It\'s a look that somehow feels like awe...

"What\'s wrong?"

When I asked why, Thompson replied like this.

"No, I\'m just surprised. I heard that your skills had improved, but I didn\'t know it would be to this extent."

Indeed, it\'s understandable for Thompson to feel that way.

In reality, my skills have improved remarkably compared to just a while ago.

It\'s all thanks to Ani Persson.

\'It was truly a stroke of genius for me to seek him out.\'

Although there are some strange rumors about Ani Persson that worry me, apart from that, seeking him out was one of the best things I\'ve done in this world.

...This was because Ani Persson\'s knowledge of light magic was far superior to what the rumors said.

Every single word he uttered brought enlightenment about light, and thanks to that, my level of light magic has risen tremendously.

Whatever his purpose may be, if I hadn\'t sought out Ani Persson, I would have regretted it for a long time.

In any case, that worked out well.

"Isn\'t it normal for you to be surprised?"

Come to think of it, there was no need for Thompson to overreact.

I heard from the Dean that Thompson had also grown as much as I had.

Not only his basic magic control, but also the variety and intensity of his magic have changed in many aspects.

Especially the \'Body Transformation Magic\' that Thompson newly mastered.

It was practically a secret art of Asion Gale that couldn\'t be passed down due to the lack of a suitable successor, so it was worth looking forward to.

Does Thompson know that fact too?

"Haha, is that so...?"

He scratched his head with an embarrassed face.

Judging from his expression, which doesn\'t look too bad, it seems he knows that he has grown quite a lot himself.

And fortunately, he doesn\'t seem to be worried about his growth rate like he used to be.

Catching on to that, I brought up the thought I had been having.

"So, how about you come with me to the front? We can show off our skills."

"Ah, to the front?"

"Yes. I\'m thinking of going to the crack and taking care of the demons that are forcing their way out."

Dealing with the demons that have already been directly hit by the flashbang is no problem at all.

However, the demons coming out of the crack after that are in perfect condition. We could suffer casualties while dealing with them.

If we take care of those demons coming out of the crack before that happens, we can prevent unnecessary losses.

\'And rack up some achievements along the way.\'

Above all, as a Magic Swordsman, I specialize in fighting on the front lines.

The same goes for Thompson, who handles Earth Magic.

It\'s more efficient to be at the front than to blindly shoot magic from the rear.

When I explained this point.

"...Shall we?"

Thompson nodded his head with a positive expression.

Thus, a two-person frontline dealer team was formed.

The only one left was Kayla.

"...What should I do?"

Just then, Kayla asked with a hesitant expression.

She still seemed bewildered by the current situation.

It\'s not strange at all, considering that people from her hometown suddenly popped out of the crack and attacked, and I subdued them with my wide-range magic.

It wouldn\'t be easy to fully accept this, as it was something completely unexpected.

Therefore.

"Kayla, you move to the outpost we were at earlier and provide support fire."

It was right to place Kayla in the rear.

This would reduce the risk stemming from her unstable mental state and maximize the effect of her specialty, long-range casting magic.

"Okay."

After assigning each member their roles.

Thompson and I approached the knight commander, the current commander of this place, and explained the situation. As expected, the knight commander looked flustered after hearing our story.

"...You\'re going to fight on the front lines? The two of you?"

"Yes."

"Huh, this is the first time I\'ve heard a mage say such a thing on a battlefield."

I fully understood the knight commander\'s position.

What kind of crazy mage would ask to be sent to the front lines?

Two of them, no less.

He\'d be more likely to send them to the rearmost position. This was a first-time experience for him.

However.

"Alright. I permit it."

Getting the knight commander\'s permission wasn\'t that difficult.

There wasn\'t any special reason for that...

"Because a mage of your level wouldn\'t be trying to die."

It seemed the knight commander had a certain degree of trust in me.

Apparently, the super-large flashbang magic I displayed had given him faith.

"However, if I give the order to retreat, you must follow it. This is an order."

"Yes, I understand."

With the knight commander\'s repeated reminders, I officially became a mage allowed on the front lines.

Without delay, we immediately went through the shield wall formed by the soldiers.

And then, the true spectacle of war came into view.

It was completely different from what we saw from the distant outpost.

Kieeek!

Gurg! Gurgle!

Groooo...

Bizarre-looking demons endlessly poured out of the crack, and the sounds of blood, flesh, and metal clashing filled the air.

A living hell where death and killing were repeated.

"Hoo."

Looking at the scene, I slowly exhaled.

Now.

"Are you ready?"

"Ah, of course!"

It\'s time for action.

***

Elbert Tyran, the 7th Knight Commander in charge of defending Sector 6\'s wall and destroying the crack.

Tap!

He paced in the air with the power of Aura, stroking his chin with a complicated expression.

"Hmm."

Thanks to his high jump, he could see the chaotic battlefield at a glance.

How many demons were left, how many casualties were there on our side, and what the current state of the war was.

He could grasp everything.

And the reason for his complicated expression wasn\'t because the situation was bad.

"It\'s easy. Too easy."

Although it was only the first day of the war, things were going too well.

It was so different from the wars he had participated in before that it felt strange.

Elbert Tyran knew the reason better than anyone else.

"It\'s all thanks to that young man\'s magic."

Yuhan, the 5th Circle mage who suddenly visited him and insisted on carrying out a rescue operation.

He honestly scoffed when Yuhan said he could neutralize all the demons here at once.

A mere 5th Circle mage incapacitating hundreds of demons in one go? Who in the world would believe such a ridiculous story?

Based on his many war experiences, it was something that could only be done by at least a high-ranking mage.

It\'s not a realm that a novice mage, a mere 5th Circle, could ever reach.

But then.

-Don\'t worry about that. I have a way.

The look in his eyes wasn\'t that of a liar.

Having met countless people as a commander and soldier, Elbert Tyran knew that look exactly.

Conviction.

It was a look of conviction that only someone who believes in themselves could possess.

So he took a chance...

"And he succeeded spectacularly."

He really did neutralize hundreds of demons with a single spell, creating an opportunity to save the residents of Sector 7.

In fact, most of the remaining residents have now been captured alive.

No matter what anyone says, it was a perfect success.

So how could his feelings not be complicated?

He had thought it was absolutely impossible for a 5th Circle mage.

One question kept tormenting Elbert.

"...Was my judgment wrong? Or is he just special?"

This was a rather important question for Elbert Tyran.

Placing competent soldiers in the right places is an essential virtue that a commander must possess.

Not being able to do that was practically the same as not being qualified as a commander.

"Hmm?"

Elbert Tyran\'s gaze fixed on one spot.

He tilted his head as if he had seen something wrong.

"...What am I looking at right now?"

Where his gaze was fixed, there was a mage fighting tirelessly right in front of the crack.

Slash! Slash! Slash!

He wasn\'t seeing things.

A mage was really fighting in that dangerous place, engaging in direct combat.

And even holding a shining sword.

Whooosh!

The sword, emitting a dazzling light, was clearly a magically created sword.

Even though Elbert Tyran had experienced countless battles, he had never seen or heard of a mage fighting like that.

"I knew he was going to the front, but I didn\'t expect him to fight like that..."

Moreover, the mage had even enveloped his body in magic, pushing his physical limits.

And that\'s not all.

The truly amazing thing wasn\'t his novel fighting style or the never-before-seen magic sword.

Having risen to the position of Knight Commander, Elbert was second to none in his knowledge of swordsmanship.

That\'s why he could see it.

Just how amazing the swordsmanship of the mage fighting in front of him was.

"...Is that really a mage?"

The trajectory of the sword, the power put into the movements, the concentration, the flexibility of the attacks, the accuracy, and so on.

Everything was outstanding, even when evaluated from the perspective of a Knight Commander.

With that level of skill, most of the knights he taught wouldn\'t be able to match him.

\'I want to fight him.\'

Even though he knew his opponent was a mage, this thought kept coming to mind.

That he really wanted to cross swords with him.

It was the competitive spirit that only arose when he discovered a truly outstanding talent.

Silently watching his battle in a daze, Elbert soon came up with the answer to the question he had earlier.

"Indeed, that guy is special."

A 5th Circle mage who can perform wide-range magic and swordsmanship exceeding that of a knight.

To be able to do such a thing, without a doubt...

Only that guy, Yuhan, could do it.
