“You haven’t found White yet?!”
A temporary shelter made of barriers.
The imperial knight lowered his head at Emperor Carlos’ urgent cry.
“I’m sorry, but the site is confusing and I haven’t been able to find it yet… !”
As the stage for the academy competition was wide, there were a lot of spectators. White was among them.
“Keugh… !”
Emperor Carlos was worried about his daughter’s safety.
* * *
There was a sense of incongruity that could be felt after clearing <Merchen’s Magic Knight> several times.
It felt like the timing of the appearance of different fairies in Act 11, Fairies Battle was different for each episode.
I wondered if it was an illusion, so when I looked around the community, everyone responded that they felt the same way.
It took several weeks after the release of the game for the identity of the sense of incongruity to become official as a hidden attack.
‘white… .’
The variable is Princess Snow White. To be precise, it turned out to be the child’s ability.
The blessing of Nyx, the night fairy, is given to Pien of the Eiffelto Imperial Family. More than anyone else, White was born inspired by that blessing.
Nyx was a leader-level fairy who led the fairies.
In the game, after Lachneel appeared, White sensed a way to summon other fairies.
The amount of time it took to wake up varied greatly depending on how strong she had become.
‘The other fairies must come quickly to beat Lachneel.’
Me and Ian could give Rachneel a valid hit, but he couldn’t win. The power of the other fairies was absolutely necessary.
In other words, White, who would summon the fairies here, was one of the key characters who would dominate the part of 「Act 11, Fairy Wars」.
But now, Rachneel has appeared early.
I wasn’t sure exactly how things were going to turn out.
‘Ha, the [clairvoyant] doesn’t work… .’
They are also veteran wizards.
Because of the thick barrier they developed, the [Clairvoyant] couldn’t break through.
I want to check on White’s condition.
“Familiar can’t be summoned!”
“uh? what? Why?”
“Even the minions… !”
The students were confused when they couldn’t summon their familiars or minions.
“If you haven’t summoned him beforehand, don’t expect it.”
“yes?”
“Since the great sword appeared in the sky, most familiars and minions have been blocked.”
It is the power of Rachneel.
Strictly speaking, fairies are creatures that are no different from the representatives of demonic beasts.
Originally, contracts for familiars and minions were made with demon beasts, so Rachneel could prevent the summoning of demon beasts if he wanted.
It was the reason why I couldn’t summon Dupendorf’s troops. I’ve tried summoning since before, but it didn’t work.
‘but… .’
Fortunately, this guy does.
It consumes a lot of mana and the cost performance is not good, but it was necessary to supplement even a little power to protect the students.
I stretched one arm out to the side.
“Me and Alice.”
A large amount of mana drained out in an instant, as if the faucet had been turned on for a while.
A light blue magic circle was engraved on the ground. A brilliant light shone above it, and a female student was summoned.
The students couldn’t keep their mouths shut. It’s the first time you’ll ever see a human minion being summoned.
The light blonde hair of the summoned schoolgirl swayed like waves. She was clad in magic armor, and had a Vorpal sword in her hand.
She looked at me and smiled kindly.
“Baby, is this your first time summoning me?”
Alice Carroll.
Since this is a human minion, it seemed that Rachneel’s authority had not been affected.
“Isn’t that him? Marchen Academy’s Dorothy Hartnova and the two mountain ranges… .”
“Alice Carroll?”
“It looks just like the one I heard… .”
“How did you summon someone… ? That kind of strong… .”
The students looked at us in disbelief.
We looked up at the ceiling. A crack appeared in the [fossil ice].
It would be meaningless to try to cover it with [Fossil Ice]. Rachneil will break through the defense magic and arrive here soon. It’ll just consume a little bit of mana.
“Is the enemy in the sky?”
“uh. I’ll be down soon.”
“Do you know why the soldiers are not being summoned from before?”
“Because the opponent is a fairy. It is a power that all fairies have.”
“A fairy… . Everything is coming. Then baby, what are your instructions?”
“Take care of the children here. As far as I can.”
Alice bowed her head to me, saying, “As you command.”
“Bingje-nim! I brought you!”
“Senior Isaac!”
Several students came running.
Fortunately, a student who knows how to fly with wind magic brought Abel Carnedas and Ian Fairytail.
I’m glad it came sooner than expected.
“Senior Isaac, how the hell did this happen?!”
“What about Ian?”
Ian was slumped on Abel’s back.
“I passed out earlier!”
I didn’t bother to ask why.
‘I’m glad I joined safely.’
At that moment, a sense of bristling.
The hairs all over her body stood up prickly.
“… … !”
flying air.
No matter how low their mana sensitivity was, there was no way they wouldn’t be able to sense that a monster with such monstrous magic was coming down.
coo goo!!
Kwagwawang!!!
[Fossil Ice] was broken at once, and a silver boy fell from the sky and landed on the ground.
Multiple blades floating around.
The boy looked like a grotesque doll made entirely of iron.
Collapsing [fossil ice]. The remnants of the defensive magic scattered as colorful magical powder.
oh oh oh!
As if the wind was blowing, magical energy beyond imagination was emitted.
It was magical power that seemed to engulf the whole area.
“Lachnil… .”
Noah raises his voice.
[ Iron Fairy Lachneel ]
From noble mtl dot com
Lv : 200
race: fairy
Attribute: iron
Risk level: extreme
The Iron Fairy Larkneel.
His red eyes looked at Noah.
[long time no see. It was fine. however… What are you?]
Rachneel’s bloody eyes looked at me.
Ssssssssssssssssssssssssss
The pouring rain of swords drastically twisted the track and began to pile up in layers between the stage and the audience.
The swords melted and liquefied, flowing freely and merging. As the momentum increased, the high and thick iron walls were quickly built up.
[You come here.]
Lachneel stretched out his arm toward Noah.
“Huh… !”
Iron magic gathered around Noah and formed a sphere model. It happened in an instant.
The sphere that trapped Noah began to fly towards Rachneel.
Woooooooooo!!
“Kyaaak!!”
“what?!”
“Da, land!!”
“Everyone run away!!”
At the same time, a powerful earthquake occurred, and the stands collapsed.
shaking ground. An iron wall rose from the ground with ferocious force. The students were shocked and tried to run away.
‘It started.’
There was no time to panic.
I heated up the mana circuit.
Dig!
He kicked off the ground and chased after the iron orb.
In the cutscene of <Merchen’s Magic Knight>, Ian rescues Noah from being dragged by Rachneel. Then, Rachneel is surprised to see Ian’s strength and is delighted.
In other words, in order for the “Fairy War” to take place, Noah had to be saved immediately.
When I stretched out both hands to one side, the rock magic gathered and the dark iron sword was grasped. A ring of rocks [Amazing] chased after me.
If the Dark Iron Sword’s passive skill [Dark Eating], which is an excellent defensive ability, would not take much damage even if Rachneel counterattacked.
[Recognized fairies as enemies.]
[Unique attribute [Night Blade] is activated!]
The system window popped up, and the cold light of midnight permeated the dark iron sword.
Unique Trait [Night Blade]. The ability for an ordinary elemental mage like me to give fairies effective hits.
Rock magic pulsated. [Shaking ceremony type 1], it was the forerunner of Hwangpa Island.
I swung the dark iron sword towards the surface of the sphere flying toward Rachneel.
Quagga River!!
A heavy sword strike broke the iron shield, and stone snow swarmed in all directions.
He immediately grabbed Noah’s arm and pulled him down.
“Heh, heh… !”
Noah rolls on the ground and gets into a stance.
Some of the iron mana had already been taken from inside the sphere, and he was gasping for breath.
There was no time to ask him if he was okay. I quickly stanceed and leaped toward Rachneel.
[how… ?]
I saw Rachneel’s surprised face.
Even if he wasn’t using his full power, what I destroyed was obviously fairy magic.
It seemed that he couldn’t believe that I, a mere human, had broken his magic.
‘Stay surprised as it is.’
He raised his dark iron sword.
The cold light of the [Blade of Night], the magic of light brown rocks, and the magic of ice in succession rose to the dark iron sword, and the terrifying magic spread clearly.
take it down
Quagga River!!
The cold, overflowing rock magic ferociously cut through the ground and reached Rachneel.
[Shaking type 2], Seokrang.
It was a long-range attack from the dark iron sword.
[…] That can’t reach me.]
Rachneel frowned and waved his arms.
Iron magic condensed in the air. It has the shape of five greatswords.
[Is it like this?]
The five great swords were wrapped in silver magic power, and they swung vigorously toward the ground all at once following Rachneel’s hand gesture.
Kwaaang!!
Sharp iron magic pierced the ground and collided with the pagoda.
As debris started to splash in all directions with a terrifying explosion, I hurriedly spread a rock shield to protect the students.
‘Look at my technique, reinterpret it in my own way and imitate it… .’
As we saw in <Merhen’s Magic Knight>. Among the creatures of this world, it was like a race that had reached the pinnacle.
[Awesome… . You, you have the status of a fairy right in front of you!]
Uh-huh, I heard Rachneel’s laughter.
[fun… . great. Let’s play a fun game with me here!]
It is as per the cutscene of <Merchen’s Magic Knight>.
After Ian rescues Noah, Rachneel postpones absorbing Noah until later.
And Ian entrusts Noah to hold a new tournament.
strength of the strong. It was a kind of entertainment.
Woooooooooo!!
continuing earthquake. A solid iron wall that rises in many directions and divides the space.
I aimed at Rachneil with my finger to shoot the 7-star ice elemental magic [Ice Lightning], but the iron wall soared with terrifying momentum and blocked the gap between me and Rachneel.
Kagagak!!
Reflexively, he fired a sword strike and split the iron wall, but a stronger iron wall rose as if to make up for the shortcoming.
Wow, the terrain changes with the distance.
Eventually, the earthquake stopped.
All of a sudden, the surroundings had been transformed into a space where beautiful magical energy took over the role of lighting.
‘In the end, did this happen… .’
I looked around. I fell out with the other guys.
Fortunately, Ian and Noah were close to me.
It was time to break through the wall and join the guys.
[Welcome to the Iron Sanctuary.]
From somewhere, Rachneel’s voice began to echo loudly.
[You are the glorious ones who have been chosen to accompany my entertainment until my plan is fulfilled.]
<Merchen’s Magical Knight> 「Act 11, Scene 2, Fairy Battle (1)」.
[Let’s start our own academy competition in a fun and exciting way!]
The Lachneel subjugation has begun.
