The Regressed Mercenary’s Machinations Chapter 699

Episode 699 This guy is a black magician! (1)

The Margrave of Falkenheim leads several knightly orders. The Wyvern Knights are one of them.

Gascott, the commander of the Wyvern Knights and the overall commander of this operation, looked at Giselle and held his breath.

‘You really have superhuman strength.’

I couldn’t believe it even when I saw it with my own eyes that a mere mercenary had reached such a level. However, I wasn’t afraid or despairing. Even if the opponent was a true superhuman, this number of people could easily defeat him.

Didn’t you take into account the possibility that the knights of Nodehill and Lax might intervene when calculating your power?

Still, I couldn’t help but feel nervous. Just feeling the momentum coming from my opponent was enough to make me suffocate.

‘He may not be a complete superhuman, but he seems stronger than the information suggests. Was he hiding his power?’

How strong must you be to fight such a large army while hiding your strength?

Ugh.

Gascott gritted his teeth. He could understand why his opponent was so confident. He must have thought that if he had hidden his strength, a force worthy of the fight would come.

I couldn’t stand the arrogance that came with that attitude.

“Everyone, hit him!”

At his shout, all the knights rushed towards Giselle.

Gascott was confident. Even if he was a superhuman, he would not be safe in a head-on confrontation with 100 knights of the highest rank or higher.

Jiselle said with a sly smile.

“Can you hold out? It’ll be a good experience.”

Julian and Kyle nodded, their expressions hardening.

In order to quickly climb over walls, you need to gain life-threatening experience. This will really help you raise your level.

Jiselle trusted the two people and began to move boldly.

Kwaaaaang!

As Giselle extended her spear, the knight who came closest was hit in the stomach and fell backwards.

At the same time, dozens of swords poured down towards Jiselle.

Kagagagagaga river!

Jiselle turned the staff and struck all the swords. However, the opponents, like the upper-class knights, were not surprised at all and retreated. Then, the knights in the next row immediately extended their swords.

It was an attack that took advantage of a momentary gap. It was so exquisite that even a superhuman living in a different time axis would not be able to avoid it.

At this point, some, if not all, of the attacks were bound to succeed. That was what everyone thought.

Bang! Tata ta tang!

But contrary to everyone’s expectations, the knights’ swords were blocked by an invisible barrier with a dull sound.

Only then did the knights realize that their opponents were not knights, but wizards.

Jiselle cast her spell by striking the ground with her fist.

“Shock wave.”

Paaaaaaaah!

A huge shockwave spread out in all directions. The knights who had been attached to Giselle were blown backwards, spitting out blood. But that was only the beginning.

“Keep the siege! Keep pushing!”

As Gascott shouted, the knights formed a tighter circle and came closer to Giselle.

Jiselle smiled, draping the pole over her shoulder.

“If you want to deal with me, you should bring a lot of wizards.”

grasp!

As soon as he finished speaking, three knights rushed at him at the same time. Jiselle swung her staff and deflected the sword of the first knight.

The sword circled around and struck the second knight in the head. Taking advantage of the gap, the third knight’s sword flew towards Giselle’s side.

Kaang!

But a blue light flashed and the shield blocked the sword. Giselle didn’t miss that moment and placed her left hand on the knight’s sword.

“Chain Lightning.”

Phage, phage, phage!

Lightning shot out from his hand and pierced through the knights who were clinging to him one after another. A powerful current flowed through the knights’ armor.

The knights nearby convulsed and fell, but the rest held on by drawing on their mana.

The shocked knights naturally fell back and other knights took their place.

Gascott’s voice echoed loudly throughout the banquet hall.

“Reorganize your ranks! Push into a three-line formation!”

The knights quickly formed a line. The speed was so fast that even Giselle, who was faster than anyone else, had difficulty reacting properly.

The knights in the front row advanced with their shields raised, followed by knights with longswords. The knights in the last row had their javelins aimed.

Completely surrounded, Jiselle clicked her tongue once and jumped into the air. As expected, dozens of javelins rained down.

Taang! Taaang! Taang!

Jiselle swung her staff in the air and knocked away all the spears. The attacking knights were taken aback by her appearance and stopped for a moment.

“What in the air… … .”

I prepared my javelin with the wizard in mind. While I might be able to dodge the sword while floating in the air, my range of movement would be limited.

However, the opponent was showing movements that were not much different from when he moved on the ground.

Taking advantage of the knights’ confusion, Giselle cast her spell.

“Frost Nova.”

Tsk tsk tsk!

The knights’ feet froze and a cold energy spread out like an explosion. Everyone’s bodies slowed down due to the sudden cold air.

Immediately afterwards, numerous magical energy blasts shot out from Jiselle’s body.

Paaaaah!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Hundreds of magical powers stretched out like streams and struck the knights. The knights, whose bodies were dulled, could not dodge the pouring magical powers and had no choice but to take the blows.

“Eww!”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

If the people of Fenris had seen the endless stream of magical power pouring down, they would have been astonished.

That’s because it was the technique used by the priests of the Salvation Church.

“As long as it’s effective, that’s fine.”

Jiselle used whatever techniques her enemies were using without any hesitation. There was no technique better for dealing with multiple enemies quickly.

Of course, the range and power were adjusted appropriately. There was no time to gather strength, and damage to Yulien and Kyle was also prevented.

But that alone left the knights with a look of shock on their faces. The shock received by Gascott, the person in charge of this operation, was especially indescribable.

“Hey, how can you use area magic so quickly?”

The reason wizards are scary is because they can cast powerful area-of-effect magic.

Of course, even if the entire building collapsed, the knights here would be fine. However, even the highest-level knights would not be safe if they were directly hit by a powerful magic spell that could even collapse the building.

So, I kept forming a line and pushing forward without stopping to use magic. Even so, my opponent was using magic too easily.

“Wow, that’s ridiculous. Just how good is your computational ability… … .”

It was a complete mistake. Jiselle was simply casting magic by sensually adding magical power.

In fact, he didn’t do any proper calculations. As Gascott had predicted, he didn’t have the luxury of using area magic.

But he used his strong will to fill in the small problems and use magic that could be cast immediately.

So, to other people, it would have looked like I was using magic without any casting at all.

“Push with all your might! Push harder!”

There were quite a few knights who held on even after being hit by a barrage of magical powers. The remaining knights gritted their teeth and rushed at Giselle.

Jiselle, who had come down without notice, cast a spell while hitting the pole on the ground again.

“Gravity Well.”

Dduk dduk!

Gravity twisted, catching the ankles of the knights rushing at Giselle. The weight of their weapons doubled, crushing them.

Giselle took advantage of the gap and danced around, turning the pole.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

With each blow, the knights fell one by one. Even so, Giselle showed the leisure to check on the safety of Yulien and Kyle.

Kaang! Kaang! Kaang!

Julian and Kyle were fighting off no fewer than ten knights in a corner. Despite facing such high-level opponents, the two were maintaining a tight balance.

It’s because the two people’s skills are great, but they also had unexpected helpers.

“I am the dark of darkness!”

Padadak!

Dark, who had received enough magical power from Jiselle, scattered in all directions.

“What is this!”

“What sparrow is talking about!”

“It’s the wizard’s summon!”

Dark’s immortal clone technique(?) was extremely effective. Dark blocked the knights’ vision and kept irritating their nerves, disrupting their concentration.

And Yulien and Kyle didn’t miss the gap and stabbed the knights with their swords, taking them down one by one.

Jiselle smiled with satisfaction at the sight.

“Good. You can already fight so calmly.”

The two years of training were not in vain. The two of them became incredibly strong.

No one in Fenris could grow stronger as quickly as they did. The two naturally talented individuals never rested and worked hard, and Giselle’s teachings were also excellent.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Jiselle ran wild without any worries. Before she knew it, the number of knights had been reduced by half.

They were upper-level knights who could obtain the position of commander or chief knight of a territory no matter where they were placed.

These alone are powerful enough to take on 10,000 soldiers. Although they cannot explode with all their might like on a battlefield because the space is narrow, it is not difficult to capture one superhuman.

And yet, everyone was falling down in vain without being able to inflict even a single proper wound on their opponent.

Gascott could not hide his trembling eyes as he commanded the knights.

“What the heck, who the hell is that guy?”

He could tell that his opponent was showing superhuman strength, but he wasn’t really a complete superhuman.

If we only consider pure physical strength, then I am definitely stronger.

But the author’s technique was so strange that he himself missed every movement.

What about magic? It seemed like there was no concept of casting at all. To use that kind of strong magic in close combat that quickly, you would have to be a 7th circle magician.

The combination of superior skill and insanely fast magic was something that no knight could possibly handle.

‘That is… … not a state that can be achieved through simple training alone.’

It was impossible to predict what kind of attack would come out. On the other hand, the opponent moved as if he had predicted all of the knights’ attacks.

It was a movement that only someone with a lot of combat experience could show. The opponent’s combat ability was that excellent.

How could she be so young, Gascott felt anger, jealousy, and awe all at the same time.

Kwaaang!

As Giselle swung her staff again, all the knights blocking her path fell down.

Gascott realized that he could no longer just conduct.

If things continue like this, there is no way to avoid total destruction. You must take action now.

“You bastard! Die!”

Boom!

Gascott exploded with mana and was launched forward.

It was to take advantage of the gap between the friendly knights falling and kill Giselle in one breath.

But before he could reach his destination, his opponent suddenly appeared before his eyes. Gascott gritted his teeth at the eerie feeling running down his spine.

“Are you going to attack me now?”

Jiselle, who moved a breath before him, smiled and reached out her hand.

Gascott threw his head back in horror as he saw the blackened hand approaching.

‘Black magic?’

There was no information about him being a warlock?

Phage crackle!

But the black energy that passed before my eyes was clearly black magic.

Gascott stepped back hastily, his mind in confusion.

He stepped back, looked at Giselle and shouted loudly.

“You! You were a warlock!”

The remaining knights paused at those words.

Warlocks are also feared by knights, because if they are not careful, their souls can be bound to the warlocks.

That is why black magicians were something that had to be subdued.

The knights looked between Giselle and Gascott with confused eyes.

“A warlock? You clearly used elemental magic?”

“If you look at the aura of magic, you are not a warlock.”

Warlocks can also use elemental magic. However, even if they use elemental magic, they cannot hide the nature of the magic power itself.

If the opponent was a warlock, that aura would have been clearly visible. However, there was no trace of warlock magic at all on the opponent.

It would be absurd to try to hide the magical energy that was radiating from it, and even if it was hidden, the knights here were strong enough to know the difference.

Besides, we haven’t fought each other directly until now. The opponent was definitely not a warlock.

However, Gascott, who was only commanding and not fighting directly, continued to shout as if he was having a seizure.

“This evil bastard! How dare a warlock hide his identity… … .”

Gascott, who had been chattering loudly, stopped talking. All the knights were looking at him. Their eyes were full of disbelief and confusion.

Only then did Gascott speak in confusion.

“Oh, no. That guy just used black magic.”

There was no way that he, who had reached the highest level, could be confused with the aura of black magic. Gascott, who was speaking with confidence, suddenly remembered that the magic of a black magician was different from that of other magicians.

“What, what? B, I’m sure I used black magic… … .”

The knights’ expressions hardened as they watched Gascott rambling on and on.

They were already in the midst of a difficult fight because their opponent was so strong. Then, when Gascott, the commander-in-chief, suddenly said something unexpected, their morale inevitably dropped.

Gascott’s actions caused a brief lull in the fighting. The knights were all at a loss.

“Gisselle shrugged and said,

“It seems like someone a little lacking has been appointed as the person in charge. It seems like there is no talent under the Margrave of Falkenheim.”

“This, this guy… … .”

“Why are you suddenly forcing a good person into becoming a warlock?”

“Warlocks can also use elemental magic.”

“So? When I use other magic, do you feel the aura of black magic? Does it make sense to use it separately? Can you just change the aura of magical power?”

“I, I definitely… … .”

“If you’re so suspicious, just weigh the duck and me.”

Ugh.

Gascott gritted his teeth. He too had heard of the popular method of identifying warlocks.

To talk about such superstitions here would be to mock oneself.

Come to think of it, there was no need to talk to this guy right now.

“Shut up! I don’t care if you’re a warlock or not! You’re going to die right here!”

Kwaaaaang!

Gascott burst out again, his mana exploding. Giselle raised her staff to block his sword.

Kang! Kagagagagang!

Dozens of attacks took place in an instant. Gascott, as befitting a knight of the highest rank, launched really fast and fierce attacks.

However, the other knights just watched and did not move. The atmosphere had become so strange that it was difficult to follow Gascott.

As Gascott, who was growing impatient, tried to urge the knights, Giselle again secretly extended her blackened hand.

Kaang!

Gascott stepped back and shouted loudly.

“Look! Didn’t you just use black magic?”

The knights, who had just come to their senses and were about to move, stopped in an awkward position again. They looked at Gascott, who was saying something strange, with confused eyes.

There was no sign of black magic. No, even if the opponent was a black magician, who cares? Didn’t they come to kill him anyway?

“This, this profit… … .”

But that wasn’t the case for Gascott. There were many knights of other nobles here.

Now he had become a worthless person to them. He, who valued honor, could not stand this situation in which he had become a liar.

Gascott cried out with a sense of injustice.

“This guy is definitely a warlock!”

He was completely caught up in Giselle’s psychological warfare.
