The opponent is the 7th Circle Master.
He was a perfected superman who had reached this level more than several decades ago.
The 6th circle magic he unleashes, Ragna Blade.
It was a magic completed with Blaine’s originality.
The power contained within it was already far beyond the scope of typical 6-circle magic.
────────Quaddeuddeuddeuk!!!
At speeds exceeding the speed of sound, destruction occurs before sound.
The ground peeled away just from the impact of the blade.
Grumble!
Then, the split-second moment when the pitted ground turns black!
Flash!
The blade of flame had already reached Russell’s eyes. Faster than the blink of an eye!
Nevertheless, the reason Russell was able to respond to that speed may be due to two reasons.
The first of these was that he never let go of his tension from beginning to end, and the second was—.
Solomon’s crown.
(Solomon’s Crown).
‘─Active!’
The air distorted and a golden crown floated over Russell’s left shoulder.
A small crown, about the size of a fist.
Whoa!
The mental power I had stored up was rushing in at a rapid pace.
‘Tsk… … .’
The cognitive range of the brain has broken the existing framework and expanded beyond its limits.
Tsutsutsutsu-.
With that, the clock in Russell’s eyes split at a rapid pace.
In an instant, in the flow of time divided into smaller units, Russell’s eyes followed the movement of the five flame swords.
────────!
‘It’s best to let it out. But… … !’
Behind him were the Royal Knights and soldiers who had not yet formed a formation.
Beyond them, there were also survivors and Hecate on the first floor who were unable to evacuate.
If you avoid it, the damage will be done to them.
‘Then—!’
Accept it!
As soon as the decision was made, five spears of flame appeared over Russell’s shoulder.
Grumbling!
Gay Bolg.
The red magic spear spewed out terrifying heat and radiated light.
Gurgling!
A collision occurred.
Five Gaebolgs ran at once and collided with Ragna Blade.
Quack, boom, quack, quack, boom!
A deafening roar.
The heat wave soared high into the sky.
The aftermath, which should have originally exploded backwards, only surged upwards.
“Cluck.”
Blaine clicked his tongue lightly as he caught a glimpse of the sight.
‘At the moment of impact, the shield was manipulated from the point of attack to channel the aftermath of the explosion upward.’
The reason for doing such a thing is obvious.
To protect the personnel in the back from the shock wave. But guess what?
That such a pitiful heart is the shortcut to hastening death.
‘If you don’t know… … ‘I have no choice but to let you know.’
Cluck cluck.
Before he could finish clicking his tongue, the tip of his wand flashed.
Gurgling!
A red thunderbolt instantly struck Russell.
It’s a magic that combines fire and lightning into one, and the sand dust hasn’t even settled yet!
It was then.
bang!
A thick stone wall rose from the ground, blocking the path of the red thunderbolt!
Stone fragments fly in all directions, and the advance of the enemy fire is blocked by the layered stone wall.
‘Huh!’
Blaine was involuntarily impressed by the sight.
‘It follows my casting speed in that short moment… … .’
For wizards, the difference in one circle was not at most a difference in the amount of magic power.

Even more so in the 6th and 7th circles.
It was a state that transcended human barriers that could only be overcome through enlightenment.
There was an incomparable difference from before in not only the proficiency and power of the magic itself but also the casting speed.
But I never thought it would catch up with that speed.
‘Hehe, even though I didn’t give it my all.’
Let’s take a look – Blaine thought as he gradually increased his casting speed.
I still didn’t feel a reason to give my all, but I still couldn’t see how far I could chase it.
I became curious as to what that method was.
The ground seemed to crack and flames erupted like lava, and then a huge dragon fist wind blew from the sky.
Kugwagwagwa-!
Not only are the flames blown up by the blowing wind, but the ground is torn apart.
Kuggeuggeuung!
The moment the light flashed, a shock wave rushed out and struck the area indiscriminately.
In the aftermath alone, several buildings in the area collapsed, leaving only their structures behind.
No matter how expensive the stone was, it could not withstand the impact.
Kurrrrr, thump thump-.
Tons of stone fall and the area shakes violently as if there was an earthquake.
Stone dust flew everywhere.
How many times have I seen sand dust, or rather a fog of a size that could be called a sand storm, rise high and then be scattered by strong winds and flames?
The fight between a superhuman and a powerful person close to him was just as fierce.
If the fight continues, it will be possible to destroy the palace in half.
Man-made disaster, that was a disaster in the shape of a human being.
If not only ordinary criminals, but also quite a few Auror practitioners, get caught up in their fight, they will be torn apart without even leaving behind a body.
“Maintain the line. “Don’t approach those two if possible, and fight back any enemies that approach!”
Hecate raised her voice as she quickly read the battle situation.
Although she could not wield a sword at the forefront due to her status, she was also a member of the royal family.
She was as skilled in the art of warfare as she was in swordsmanship.
“I will split the group into four! Groups 1, 2, and 3 protect the front, and Group 4 evacuates personnel!”
“The port formation is broken! Team 3 will assist, and in the meantime, reorganize your battle lines!”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
The good news was that the aftereffects like mine did not necessarily have a negative impact only on our allies.
Enemies… … .
The effects were also felt on the wizards who followed Blaine.
“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”
“Damn, my arm is on fire!”
“My leg, my leg is stuck!”
The scale of the damage was even greater than that of the royal family.
That’s because, unlike the Royal Knights and royal soldiers who moved in perfect order under Hecate’s command, they had no one to lead them.
“Don’t miss it!”
“Use this opportunity to suppress the group of weightlifters!”
As the fierce battle continued, Hecate slowly turned her head.
He muttered worriedly as he caught a glimpse of a fight he couldn’t even follow with his own eyes.
‘My dear… … .’
.
.
Gurgling!
Lightning rains down like an arrow and strikes in front of my eyes.
The ground exploded and melted.
Russell drooled as he saw the vitrified particles bouncing in all directions and the bright blue discharge phenomenon turning his eyes white.
“Tsk… … .”
It was a shame because I was able to dodge by lightening the gravity for a moment, but if I had been hit head on, my body would have just burned up.
Even if he survived, it would be difficult for him to function as a human in the future.
My left arm felt like it had been hit by a hammer.
Although I avoided being directly swept away, I was unable to do anything about the aftereffects of the lightning that struck my body at close range.
Russell, who was using mana to drive away the pain, took a long breath.
“Whoo, whoo.”
The sound of breathing became much heavier than before. Besides, the body wasn’t all that healthy either.
As if a fire had passed through him, there were burn marks left on his waist.
Thighs cut by the blade of wind. Although it was not deep, the long wound did not stop bleeding.
“Indeed, Daria. “It’s a talent that that monkey bitch would covet.”
Unlike Russell, who was completely on the defensive, Blaine’s voice was calm.
It has to be that way.
Because the gap between him and myself was clear.
Holding on like this was only possible because he wasn’t doing his best.
‘If I collide with Blaine who gave his all… … .’
You won’t be able to last even 5 minutes.
‘Should we use acceptance?’
For Russell, acceptance was the last and best means he had kept hidden.
If you compare it to poker, it’s like a joker. but… … .
‘Not yet.’
Even if you play a joker card, it is meaningless. Because the opponent had the power to destroy the poker table itself.
‘I can no longer use gambling moves that have clear limits.’
I wonder if there is something else that can complement the gambling numbers and increase the odds. It is still time to hide and save numbers.
Russell quickly finished his thoughts and grabbed the air as he prepared for battle again.
Grumbling-.
Gaebolg appears once again, still emitting vivid flames.
‘Hmm.’
Blaine seemed a little surprised at the sight and slowly rubbed his chin.
‘I still have that much energy left… … .’
He is by far the most outstanding among top level wizards.
The amount of magical power and purity were outstanding, but what I liked most was the flexible thinking and casting speed to cope with various situations.
‘That’s probably why he has the ability to find a gap even in situations where he should have been knocked out several times already.’
The more I look at it, the more I crave it.
Daria, if it weren’t for that bitch’s hand stains, I would have wanted to raise it myself.
Although there was a secret story connected to his father, former Earl Raymond… … .
‘What does that matter? ‘Cluck.’
It would have been quite nice to see him serve as a teacher without knowing that he was an enemy involved in his father’s death.
‘But, that can’t be possible.’
Since he was already under the control of the monkey woman, there would be no way for that child to come under him.
‘then… … .’
A flash of light.
‘It would be better to enjoy it now.’
Blaine’s eyes glowed sinisterly, forgetting their original purpose.
* * *
Although it was a fiercely fought battle, it was safe to say that the outcome was somewhat decided from the beginning.
The only problem was how long it took.
Quack!
Intense shock waves hit the body. Russell’s body, which was flying through the air with him, crashed to the ground like a meteor.
bang!
“Wow!”
The shock that seemed to bend his spine wasn’t enough, and Russell’s body, which had bounced out of the collapsed pit, was pushed backwards.
Kugwagwagwa-!
It bounced off, creating a long furrow for tens of meters.
“Cough, clack…” … .”
Russell, who barely managed to stop himself, vomited out blood along with his heavy breathing.
“Weeeeh… … .”
Should I say it was fortunate that there was no black blood or internal organs mixed in?
‘I think I broke a few ribs… … .’
Every time I breathe in and out, the pain that starts in my lungs continues to pierce my brain.
‘When did we end up here…? … .’
Grinding his teeth and enduring the pain, Russell slowly checked his surroundings.
Perhaps because he was confident of his victory, Blaine did not pour out a series of attacks.
What looks closer than that is… … .
‘When did we get here?’
It was the royal troops and Hecate who formed the battle line. I was pushed all the way here due to the impact of the bounce.
“Russell!”
Hecate shouts as she rushes towards Russell, who is struggling to get up.
chuck-!
Blaine’s mocking voice followed by a hand supporting him.
“Cluck. Since you two were lovers, I will let you share my place.”
“f*ck that bullshit… … “Wayeeek!!!”
Before he could stop yelling, Russell vomited blood again.
“Gwae, are you okay?”
Hecate muttered in embarrassment as the blood soaked her hands and front cuffs, and Russell clenched his fists.
Even with empty words, it is impossible to say that it is okay.
‘I can’t do it anymore.’
Even in a situation where we were pushed to this point, Yonginhwa could not be saved.
Whatever it was, it was time to try gambling, even if the odds were slim.
The eyes of Russell, who was thinking like that and trying to accept it.
“uh… … ?”
Something was reflected.
A green gemstone necklace hangs around Hecate’s neck.
“… … swimming. “Kate.”
“… … ?”
Hecate tilted her head at the call, and Russell barely licked his lips.
“I… … “You can believe it, right?”
