Episode 584: Destroy the Enemy (1)
The first to come to his senses was Marquis Gideon.
“Now, catch him! Get Jerome!”
The knights waiting behind ran out and picked up Jerome.
As he lay down on the floor, Marquis Gideon ran over and grabbed Jerome’s hand.
“Jerome! Come to your senses! Call the priests and wizards! Quickly!”
Jerome’s appearance was beyond words. His always lively and cute face was nowhere to be found, and he looked haggard as if death had fallen upon him.
He looked extremely dangerous, with blood continuously flowing from his nose and mouth and his chest heaving.
Marquis Gideon shouted several times in horror.
“Jerome, come to your senses!”
“it hurts…….”
Jerome clutched his chest in pain. It was clear that something was wrong inside his body.
Soon several priests and magicians came running. The priests were the first to radiate divine power at Jerome.
Paaaaa… … .
The white light spread and healed Jerome’s wounds. Some of his color returned, but his condition still looked critical.
One of the wizards who had come running spoke urgently.
“It looks like a mana burn phenomenon. I’ll take a look.”
He was a 6th circle wizard who guarded this fortress. The wizard immediately breathed magic into Jerome’s body.
The wizard who was examining Jerome cried out in surprise.
“Oh, oh! The circle is about to break! How can this happen… … .”
The wizard was confused, because the circle was not easily broken by even the slightest impact.
Even if you use power beyond the limit, your vitality is usually not consumed and the circle itself does not break.
“Just how powerful of a magic did you use…?”
The magic that seemed like a miracle had clearly shocked the source of magical power.
Marquis Gideon spoke urgently at the wizard’s words.
“Then what should I do?”
“First, we need to infuse magic power into it and hold it until the circle stabilizes.”
“Come on, do it!”
Other wizards also joined in and injected magic power into Jerome’s body.
It is not easy to protect the circle of the 8th Circle Wizards. They forget that they are in battle and continue to pour magic power into Jerome’s body.
It was an unbecoming action of a selfish wizard. But it was all done with sincerity.
It was an expression of respect for the great magician who had shown miraculous magic.
Unlike Jerome, who was on the verge of death, Gator barely survived when Jerome’s magic faded.
The giant figure made of black energy had already disappeared. He was floating in the sky with his original body.
“Ugh, ugh… … I, I’m alive. But why… … .”
For some unknown reason, the holy relic saved his life.
Why would he spare himself, who had an energy that was in conflict with divine power? And why would he spare himself, who was the leader of those who opposed the goddess?
Gatros, who had been panting for breath, soon grabbed his chest and laughed loudly.
“Ha, hahahaha! That’s right! It’s not my time to die yet! This too must be God’s will!”
There is no other way to explain it. The God you serve has shown you a new miracle.
All the energy I had collected was gone, and more than half of my own energy was gone, but it didn’t matter.
Now that Jerome has fallen, who will stop them?
Gatros gritted his teeth and shouted.
“Hit them! Right now! Trample them!”
Artrodegun, who had been dumbfounded by the astonishing magic, came to his senses at Gatros’ words.
Likewise, Count Biffenveldt, who had been in a state of shock, came to his senses and shouted:
“All advance!”
Victory is at hand. We must push through in one breath.
The magicians of the Artrode Army were the first to move.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
“The magic works! Push through!”
The Allied Forces’ high-level magicians were busy healing Jerome. The remaining magicians were blocking it, but spells that failed to be dispelled were exploding here and there.
“This, this… … .”
As the fort’s troops began to fall victim to magical attacks, the Allied magicians panicked, since they had to stop Jerome’s healing in order to stop the magic.
And if the treatment is stopped, Jerome will either die or become a cripple due to the circle being completely broken.
When he was at a loss, Marquis Gideon made a decision.
“Concentrate on treating Jerome.”
“Yes? Then what about the castle?”
“Thanks to Jerome, the priests’ power has been weakened. I will use the remaining ones to stop them.”
“Commander. We can never win if we are attacked by magic. Aren’t our soldiers inferior in terms of strength?”
Marquis Gideon nodded, then answered with a solemn expression.
“So, treat Jerome and run away.”
“Commander… … .”
“Jerome is a vital figure to the Allied Forces. Please bring him back to life at all costs.”
Losing the fortress is not a problem. When the Rutanian army returns, they will surely be able to deal with the Atrode army.
However, it is problematic if the Artorod Army takes over this place and joins with other legions.

“Our forces are also split right now. If they take this place and join forces, the Rutanian army will also suffer great losses. Jerome, if you are here, we can reduce the damage.”
Marquis Gideon still had no idea how the battle situation had changed. Both the enemy and his allies were moving quickly, so proper news was not being delivered.
Dark, who had come to deliver the news, ended up disappearing while watching the fight from hiding.
“Then it would be better for us all to retreat together… …!”
One of the wizards shouted, but Margrave Gideon shook his head. If the First Legion leaves here, there will be bigger problems.
“There are still kingdoms where the rebellion has not been suppressed. There are still remnants of the Salvation Church. If the Arthrodians escape from here to avoid the Rutanian army, it will once again become their focal point.”
The main force of the Arthrod army and the surrounding rebel forces have all gathered in the Kingdom of Grimwell. However, several kingdoms far from here are still fighting the rebels and the rift.
That’s why it was so important to hold onto Artrod here.
Fortunately, thanks to Jerome, the superhumans’ powers were all gone. At this point, it was worth risking my life and fighting.
“Move quickly! I will stop them even if it means risking my life!”
“Old, Commander… … .”
“hurry!”
At Marquis Gideon’s shout, some of the wizards moved around Jerome.
It wasn’t easy to run away quickly because I had to keep moving while infusing magic power. In addition, the enemy’s magic that I failed to dispel was exploding behind me.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The wizards moved cautiously, casting defensive magic.
Meanwhile, Artrod’s men were dragging ladders and clinging to the fortress walls.
Kwah! Kwah!
“Waaaaaaaaaah!”
Unlike the exhausted Allied forces, the Artrode forces were brimming with strength and morale.
From the beginning, these superhumans took the lead in reducing the number of troops in the fortress. The situation was bound to be better than that of the Allied Forces.
The individual skills there were also far superior. The Artrode Army began to push back the Allied Forces more and more.
Marquis Gideon brandished his sword and shouted loudly.
“We can hold on! Fight! We must defend this place!”
The Allied soldiers also regained their strength. It was thanks to the miraculous magic that Jerome had shown.
Although the Artrode army was strong, they were not pushed back as overwhelmingly as they were at first because the priests were gone.
However, it was undeniable that there was a difference in power. With the wizard who could block magical attacks gone, the Allied Forces’ defeat seemed increasingly certain.
“Stop it! You can stop it!”
“We have to inflict some damage on the enemy here!”
“This will be the final battle! So just hold on a little longer!”
The Allied forces fought fiercely and held on. They had no intention of retreating. The moment they retreated, the enemy would mount their horses and come in pursuit.
It was a dilemma. Unless the Artrode Army withdrew of its own accord, the Allied Forces had no other choice.
Gatros, who had confirmed that the battle situation was turning in his favor, looked around the fortress.
Their victory was certain. But now something more important had arisen.
“I have to kill him… … I have to kill him.”
For the first time, Gatros felt the fear of death. No, it was a fear that transcended death.
The feeling of having one’s own existence erased was indescribably horrifying.
So Jerome must be killed. In Gator’s view, Jerome was the most dangerous man in the Allied Forces.
“Even the Duke of Fenris… … and the Prince of Turian would not be able to show such a miracle… … .”
Even their king seemed unable to fully withstand that magic. Now was the perfect opportunity to kill that dangerous man.
“Found it.”
He was so exhausted that he had a hard time looking inside the fortress properly. However, he concentrated and finally found the wizards running away with Jerome on their backs.
“Phew… … .”
It was dangerous to go in there alone. My strength was not at its best. If enemy knights came rushing in, I would have a hard time.
But it was something he had to do, even if it meant risking everything. Right now, the only person who could deal with Jerome was himself.
“I can’t let you run away.”
Ugh.
Gatros gritted his teeth and gathered his remaining energy. He should concentrate on killing them and getting out as quickly as possible.
Gooooooo… … .
The black energy he had squeezed out enveloped his body. He intended to rush in like light and kill him in one breath.
But at that time.
Wedge!
Something flew from behind.
Gatros turned his head.
“arrow?”
An arrow enveloped in red light was flying.
Gatros’ face distorted.
“How dare you use something like an arrow!”
There’s no need to break something like this. Just move slightly to dodge. Just dodge… … .
Creepy!
Gator’s whole body got goosebumps.
The arrow was coming towards him as if following the thread of fate.
And that too, aiming straight for the head.
Time seemed to drag on. The arrow was moving very slowly through the air.
It’s something you can just hit or avoid…
His body was stiff and heavy, as if it were made of lead.
Knock knock… … .
My muscles screamed as I tried to move them somehow.
“Ugh!”
Gatros raised his spirits with all his might, to the point where his eyes became bloodshot.
As if crushed by the pressure of the deep sea, his body would not move as he wished.
No matter how tired I am, I can’t believe I’m trapped in another time just because of a single arrow flying by!
“Ugh… … What is this… … .”
The world seemed to be whispering to him.
You must be hit by this arrow.
The closer the arrow came, the more the flow of the world forced it to do so.
“Me! Do you think I’ll get hit!”
Kwaaaaang!
Gatros detonated his remaining energy in one fell swoop. For a moment, the flow of time returned to normal.
He turned his head to the side with all his might.
Kwajik!
An arrow passed through Gator’s ear, shattering it. Flesh splattered and blood splattered.
Gatros gasped and looked in the direction the arrow had come from.
“Duke Fenris… … You must… … .”
The one riding alone on a fierce black horse was Giselle.
He put his arrow back on the bow, this time not aiming for Gator.
He drew back the bowstring and smiled faintly.
“Our Jerome has been pushing himself too hard.”
After hearing from Dark, I ran with all my might. First, I had to focus attention on myself.
Paaaaak!
The arrow began to glow red.
It wasn’t just mana as usual. His strong will was put into the arrow. It was just what he wanted the world to be.
Soon, Jiselle lightly released the bowstring.
bang.
The arrow was shot out with a cheerful sound. As soon as it left Giselle’s hand, its appearance began to change.
Kwaaaaah!
The red light became more intense and burned like a living flame. It flew towards the rear of the Artrode Army at lightning speed.
Soon the arrow reached the rear of the Arthrod army.
Kwaaaaang!
