“What—?”
As the saying goes.
Russell’s intrusion into the middle of enemy territory was not simply to inflict enormous damage on the imperial army.
It wasn’t like I just rushed in without any thought.
Rather, it was a thoroughly calculated action.
‘There was a presence that bothered me from the moment I first arrived on the battlefield.’
Magical power as if an army of troops or more had been compressed into one person’s body.
The presence of a superman.
The reason Russell stormed into the middle of enemy territory was to bring out the owner of that presence.
‘Look.’
Didn’t Count Hazen appear just as he had hoped?
Count Hazen’s face instantly hardened at Russell’s provocative remarks.
That too for a while.
He feigned calm by gently biting his molars and opened his mouth.
“Well, it’s none of my business what you were thinking, but it seems like the Archduke was overlooking one thing.”
He hid the quivering corners of his mouth and spoke with a calm face, pretending like nothing had happened.
“The plan I just made is something that will only work if the Archduke can return home safely.”
Russell’s skills, which are known to the public, are comparable to those of a 7th Circle master.
Comparable means that it is known to be comparable, but has not yet mastered the 7th Circle.
Compared to himself who became a 7th Circle Master not long ago, he is about half to one step lower.
Moreover, he is in his mid-twenties at most.
For seasoned wizards, the years they have lived can be said to be experience and experience in themselves.
As far as Count Hazen was concerned, there was only one thing Russell had ahead of him:
‘A talent that has reached such a level in its twenties. ‘I’ll acknowledge your genius.’
But… … .
‘That ends here.’
It was with that thought in mind that I spoke the words. However, Russell’s subsequent attitude was something that Count Hazen had never expected.
A chuckle escaped from his oddly twisted mouth, and Count Hazen frowned.
“What’s so funny?”
“well?”
Russell shrugged his shoulders at his question.
“I would like to ask you one thing… … .”
Then he said:
“Do you really think I would have gone out without thinking that much?”
Arrogance as if he didn’t even care about his own defeat. It has to be that way.
Russell’s level far exceeded Count Hazen’s expectations.
The amount of magical power it possessed was enough to rival that of the 8th Circle Master.
No, it was pure mana, so it was probably more than that. In addition, in the process of learning Hellfire, my understanding of 8-circle magic also increased.
No matter how much he thought about it, Russell had no reason to lose to Count Hazen.
“This arrogant… … .”
Count Hazen’s anger finally exploded as he could not hold back the series of provocative greetings.
I heard that a lot of the magic of the Red Tower is related to magma and volcanoes.
A red-hot face.
At the same time, the area beneath his feet cracks and red flames begin to rise.
Chi-ik-.
Then, the red flame that falls to the ground flows along the ground and expands its area.
“Get back! “Go away!”
“The lava magic of the Fuel Magic Tower… … !”
“This is Count Hazen’s decisive battle!”
The imperial commanders rushed to shout at the unusual heat and surging sulfur gas.
I just happened to maintain the line of battle. I knew very well that there was no way I would dare intervene in the battle between the two that was about to begin.
So the soldiers retreat in droves.
“Let’s see if you can talk like that even after all the bones and flesh of your body melt away!”
The entire area rose up like a huge mountain, centered around a bubbling lava pond.
‘It’s a decisive battle… … .’
Among the originality magics, the magic named 『Decisive Battle』 was special.
It has to be that way.
For magicians who have reached the highest level, the 『Decisive Battle』 is no different from the culmination of the magic they have accumulated so far.
Drang Hazen.
Decisive battle.
Nevado Del Ruiz.
A few decades ago, a volcano on the continent took the lives of more than 50,000 people in a single eruption.
This magic, which literally omits the name of the volcano, was Count Hazen’s originality magic that literally created a small-scale volcano.
Kugwagwagwagwagwa!

A lava lake is buried deep inside the ground that rises high, creating a monogenetic volcano.
At the same time, the ground split open and a volcanic earthquake occurred.
The aftermath of the magic being created causes an earthquake of magnitude 6 or higher, and shock waves hit the area without stopping.
Bang, blah blah blah!
In the midst of the tremors, Count Hazen stretched out his hand, walking on the lava as if riding a wave.
“Take a look!”
At that moment, part of the boiling lava lake jumped out.
It followed a meteor shower-like trajectory and hit Russell at a terrifying speed.
Nettle liquid, kwagwagwagwa!
.
.
When it rose, it may have been a lump of liquid lava, but when it fell to the ground, it was a solid rock with a hardened exterior.
Volcanic bombs continued to fall and bombard the ground.
Boom, boom, boom!
The surface, which had been weakened by the heavy impact, caved in, and the volcanic bomb that crashed to the ground exploded, causing magma and lava to burst out once again.
The power of a volcanic bomb that seems to recreate a real volcanic eruption.
In an instant, he swung his hand once more, bombarding a range of hundreds of meters.
Each time, the lava lake gushes up one after another, repeatedly spewing out meteor showers made of volcanic bombs.
Jeopuk-.
Russell, who had performed his magic, stepped into the air.
He took a few steps to the side in the air and dodged the volcanic bomb that was falling towards him.
Then, the volcanic bombs that lost their target fell to the ground and unexpectedly attacked the imperial army’s formation.
“Ugh!”
“Save me!”
“You’re so good at avoiding it!”
Hazen made his hand while screaming for help was coming out.
“Just try to avoid this too!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a large amount of volcanic ash and gas rushed in like a tsunami.
Nuée ardente.
Just as a volcano was created and a volcanic bomb was created, even a pyroclastic flow was created through magic.
Of course, if it were a simple pyroclastic flow, it would not have been so threatening.
Although it was high-temperature and high-speed, if the magic only flowed down like a landslide, it could have been avoided by flying into the air.
However, the real threat of Silkworm Ardente was just beginning.
Quaaaaa!
The shape of the pouring pyroclastic flow changed, and as if it had its own will, it soared backwards toward the sky, trying to hit Russell.
‘Is it controlled using will?’
This is an appearance that can never be found in naturally occurring pyroclastic flows.
That’s why it’s magic.
The heat of the rising pyroclastic flow passed beneath his feet, and then he moved his other hand.
“good!”
Another disaster, magma, that was flowing down the slope of the rising volcano was moved.
The magma that arose with a gurgle comes at Russell in a slime-like form.
An attack in which pyroclastic flows and magma fly from both the left and right sides.
If we had been a little late in increasing our altitude, we would have been caught in a joint attack from both sides.
Quack!
The pyroclastic flow and magma collided, creating a powerful shock wave.
Slurp, slump!
Some of the magma flew like fragments and even hit some of the imperial troops who were quite far away.
“Quaaaay… … .”
“Aaaahhh-!”
The soldiers screamed indiscriminately in pain as the bones and muscles of their entire bodies melted from the high heat.
Anyone in their right mind would have limited the scope out of concern for damage to allies.
However, Count Hazen did not do that.
Instead of doing that, he tried to catch Russell by expanding the scope of his magic.
To him, who has to kill that brat who is a spy’s disciple here, he is a scarecrow who can replace the lives of ordinary soldiers at any time.
Because it was nothing more and nothing less.
“profit!”
Was he angry at Russell’s movements, which he could not catch despite wielding volcanic bombs, pyroclastic flows, and even magma?
As he stands tall on top of the volcano and controls his magic, he spits out a bubble.
“You talk so much, but in the end, the only thing you can do is run away!”
The moment when his arms were roughly crossed and swung, accompanied by a shout that echoed throughout the area.
Kwagwagwagwa!
The movement of magma and pyroclastic flows has changed completely again.
It split into dozens or more branches, transformed into the shape of a whip, and swept the area like a storm.
Kwagwagwagwagwa!
The land, crushed by the weight of the pyroclastic flow, falls apart, and as magma passes over it, the surface melts.
An attack that extends beyond hundreds of meters and covers kilometers!
The surrounding area had long since turned into a land of heat death.
Regardless, the storm of attacks continued to rain down, and the whips of ash and flames continued to narrow Russell’s range of movement.
If this happens, Russell can’t just avoid it forever.
Russell sighed lightly as he saw that everywhere was covered in whips of ash and flame.
The opponent is a wizard who goes beyond originality and can even use decisive battle techniques.
If possible, I wanted to capture the shape and magic structure a little more clearly.
“… … “That’s it.”
“what… … ?”
A calm yet unwavering voice that makes it hard to believe that death is just around the corner.
Count Hazen, who was surprised by that voice, asked a question without realizing it, and that was the moment.
Woe!
Russell’s pupils dilated horribly.
“Since you enjoyed it, let me show you something in return.”
The vertically split pupil and eight circles rotate in unison, creating a unique sound.
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
The magic that arose pushed away the magic of Count Hazen who was rushing towards him.
Kwagwagwagwa!
A torrent of terrifying magical power pressing down on all directions. It even gives the illusion that the entire magical power of the area is under Russell’s control.
It doesn’t stop there, but the magic surrounding Russell shines like polar light and takes on a red color.
This was a dignity that could only be shown by supermen who had thrown off human limitations, and by strong people who had even broken the walls of superhumanity.
Count Hazen.
Since he was also a wizard, he couldn’t have known what this phenomenon meant.
“W-what… … ?”
Nevertheless, the reason I expressed my doubts was simply because I wanted to deny the reality I was facing.
Regardless, Russell muttered indifferently, staring at Count Hazen’s magic with cold eyes.
“The decisive battle… … .”
Hell Fire.
A new magic created by adding one’s own image to the restored lost magic.
Russell Raymond.
Decisive battle.
Type 2, Hwacheomchang (火尖槍)
The spear of red flames burned inside my grasp.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
