Battle War; Magic, Sword and Dragon

9. Fights

Element Artor element manipulation is the most basic magic for a magician.

As an S-ranked mage, Laila could of course manipulate elements stronger than lesser ranked mages than her. If he wanted to, he could even create a fireball 10 meters in diameter to kill his enemy.

But, as an S rank magician, he somehow felt embarrassed when he saw the two firearms in both hands.

(Tch.. I don't know why I was humiliated by Fila today, but that's it, the most important thing is that I get a weapon against them.)

The firearms Laila possessed were just ordinary firearms. But where did he get it?

Fila was an iron element magician, in other words she could create iron with magic. Most witches could turn the iron they created into various shapes, but it was very rare to be able to change to such a detail

As a blacksmith, Fila could not only make swords, but could also make firearms because she knew the design of the weapon, but because of the limited materials, she could only make it with a simple mechanism. Even the bullets. Then the firearm is chosen considering that the enemy uses firearms as well, if using a sword, it is the same as taking lives.

He looked and took a good look at the firearms that each had 9 bullets. But he's more interested in the bullet.

The bullet's a little weird. Strange because it does not have gunpowder as a source for firing projectiles.

(Haha.he knows that I am a highly ranked magician, which is why he uses magic instead of gunpowder.)

Laila once again laughed bitterly.

Indeed using fire magic as a substitute for gunpowder is not impossible, even it is easy for Laila, but what makes Laila wonder is that Fila is able to think and use magic power better than him.

If you remember Ariant is the name of one of the nobles in the empire who is quite famous for magic that is able to manipulate iron, and can be said they are the strongest iron magicians in the empire. That's why when finding out that Fila can't fight, it makes Laila shocked and incredulous.

But, perhaps it was only natural after recalling the incident involving the Ariant family several years ago.

(... Each one has 9 bullets, meaning I only have 18 chances. To defeat the three of them was enough.)

He bit his lips.

That looks like an easy task. Eliminating 3 criminals with 18 bullets should not be impossible, but-

Laila had never used or shot a gun before.

He was a User-type mage armed with a fire sword, which was why all this time he had only practiced sword techniques and magic.

(Tch.this is not the time to hesitate. It can be a great experience killing criminals with firearms)

He is currently hiding behind a shelf filled with clothes in the latest model.

2 Enemies about 40-45 meters away were standing and observing the surroundings. Meanwhile Alan, their leader was standing by the window observing the fight outside the mall.

As expected, the Conferred Knights were not too many, perhaps around 50 knights were carrying ordinary shields and weapons. They must have known that the Red Crow used anticristal weapons.

They knew magic would be useless against the Red Crow. The knight made the right decision.

".... Team B1, use a bomb to take out that stupid Knight"

"(Good)"

Alan gave radio orders to his men on the 1st floor.

Alan smiled. A smile that resembled a demonic smile rather than a human smile.

"It's true, if you use firearms and shields, you will be able to hold us, but..."

The kabommmmm!!

An explosion was heard from under the mall. Black smoke soared and blocked Alan's view.

"Tch..it's useless!"

The explosion was quite violent, but none of the Knights died. Knights can survive a bomb with magic.

But, for Alan it was enough to buy some time before teleportation magic was active.

Alan was certain that the Knight would sooner or later realize that the great teleportation magic would be active on top of the mall, which was why those Knights would fight more seriously and add reinforcements.

And although the Red Crow had anticristals, not all of his men had anticristals, which led to him ordering his men to use bombs.

Moreover, if the Knights managed to break through the defenses on the 1st floor, the Knights would still have to face off against 10 of his men wearing the Anticristal armoras on the 2nd and 3rd floors. It must have been a difficult task for the Knights.

Alan then looked at the clock on the wall of the mall.

It had been 15 minutes since 10 of his men started teleportation magic. That means less than 10 minutes of teleportation magic will activate and move monsters to the city of Areshia.

That's when he heard a call coming in from his radio.

"(Team B1 to Leader, we can't hold back the Knights. There are only 5 people left)"

''... immediately retreat and join Team B2 on the 2nd floor. Tell the others to hold the Knight in about 10 minutes!"

"( Understood.)"

Then the connection is cut off.

Alan showed an annoyed face, but this he had calculated before.

Laila ran over while shooting the 2 people wearing anticristal armor.

The two men did not have time to fight back because they were surprised by Laila's attack and eventually died on the floor.

"Although I never shoot, if I shoot up close, I can kill you, right?"

Laila glanced at Alan who was standing and was speechless when she saw his men die at Laila's hands.

"Huh.. I knew that you were coming, but I didn't expect you to come and kill my men with tch firearms... Not bad."

"... thank you and accept your death!!"

Laila unhesitatingly pointed her gun at Alan. He pressed the trigger and shot.

Dooor!!

"?! Shit!"

Laila's shot misses and scratches Alan's cheek. This was quite astonishing and embarrassing considering the distance he had with Alan was only 20 meters.

(Meleset, no. Damn he dodged by moving his head movements to a minimum.)

If true, the enemy is really tough. Moreover, his enemy was a trained in real combat.

"Huh..is that your best shot, the daughter of the strongest paladin Laila Alein Fortisillein?"

"?!"

Laila was surprised when the man knew her name and identity. But it was not impossible considering that he was quite famous.

"My name is Alan Saegrusa, leader of the Red Crow . And as for me to know your name, ..well we can say we are interested in witches who might be our opponents in the future!"

His enemy had even thought of a plan that far. Bizarrely. The Red Crow should be a not-so-great organization.

"Say, what is your true purpose?!"

"Destination? Didn't you already know? Our goal has been the same since long ago. We just want equality. This is proof of the world."

As expected. This is not surprising at all.

"What is it by proving to the world? You are nothing more than a murderer!!"

"Maybe that's what we are in your eyes, but for us this is proof. Evidence of where equality could be done if the empire would. The land that only witches are concerned about is wrong."

"Is that all you want to say? Everyone is born equal, but they grow up to be different. How could it possibly be equivalent?"

"Well, someone born into a respectable family like you might understand how we feel. Enough, if you fight, just do it. I will be happy to serve you. We both know the conversation is further free."

Things are getting worse. He must immediately defeat Alan, otherwise their goal will be achieved, but before he does, there are things Laila must know.

"....I don't really know and want to know your true purpose."

That's because it may be too late, and there must be others who are also aware of Red Crow's true purpose.

"But can you tell me who's financing you? Are the nobles in the empire?"

Laila realized that the Red Crow was too weird. Where did they get all those anticristals? Besides how could that much antii enter the city of Areshia without anyone knowing?

"so apparently. You also realize there are people who gave us all of this. But baby, I don't know about him at all. All I know is she's a powerful witch, and she's called Shadow"

"Shadow? Why did you tell me all that? Isn't that a secret?"

"Yes. Because it's a secret, consider it a gift before you die."

"Tch!!"

Alan ripped off his clothes and showed what he was wearing behind them.

A thicker and stronger anticristal armor, as well as an anticristal that is used more than its men.

But that wasn't all that surprised Laila.

Alan picked up the blood-red sword on his back with his right hand and pointed his sword right at Laila.

"Anticristal sword?"

Laila could barely say what as she looked at the bloodthirsty sword in Alan's hand.

Anticrystal sword, in other words an antisyllic sword.

"Yes. Youre right. This sword is harder to make than bullets which is why we can only make three. But I don't think there's any need to give details to people who are going to die, do you?"

"Damn!!"

And a new round of fighting will take place between Alan and Laila.
