Genius Wizard Hides His Sword Skills [EN]: Chapter 148

148. The End (2)

‘I knew something was off…’

The situation had been resolving too easily.

The forces that swarmed the Ego Forest were insignificant compared to our strength.

‘This was the real trap.’

But then Telos suddenly appeared. Its massive size cast a huge shadow over the prairie.

It was as if Gillium and the others were just bait to lure us out.

“You will all be annihilated here!”

Gillium wore a relieved expression.

[He was waiting until everyone in the Ego was lured out.]

Gillium’s eyes gleamed with joy as he looked at Telos.

KWA-AAAA!

The flare beam fired from the ship began to sweep across the prairie.

‘This…!’

The alien races were caught off guard by the sudden bombardment.

“Don’t stay in one place!”

“Scatter!”

“Kkyaaaa!”

The formations that had easily pressured the mages began to break apart.

The situation was infuriating.

‘How dare they do this.’

My gaze was inevitably drawn to Gillium.

To fight Telos, Liu and Angel’s help was essential. I had to quickly end their fight and help the alien races.

Wooowoong!

Hastily using Blink. After a brief shimmer of light.

Poooook!

The Myrillic Dagger was swung.

“Keuh, keuheok!”

It pierced Gillium’s neck. Still reaching towards the sky, he lost his balance and fell.

Poooowoo…….

Gillium was sucked into the still-raging ant hell. His expression showed no regret.

As if he had fulfilled his mission, he closed his eyes peacefully.

‘So, his only goal was to draw us out and call the ship.’

He, the strongest force of the Magic Tower besides the Tower Master, was gone.

“Ian!”

And Liu approached me. Our eyes immediately turned to Guarr.

Chwaaaaaak!

Liu’s Aqua Bomb flew towards Guarr’s back.

“You fools! Do you think I’ll yield to terrorists!”

Instantly, Guarr enveloped his entire body in a shield. The Aqua Bomb exploded on it.

Poooook!

Again, the Myrillic Dagger pierced his heart. Using Blink, I had caught him from behind.

“H, how!”

That place was also shielded, but.

Wooowoong!

The low-vibrating aura could penetrate it.

“A knight like you!”

His bloodshot eyes turned to me. But his face was full of injustice.

Koooowooo!

His necklace glowed brightly.

[Suicide attack.]

As if he had come here determined to die, Guarr had a magic bomb around his neck.

“I’ll take you all with me!”

He struggled.

“Sorry to disappoint you.”

Kwadeuk!

The necklace was easily shattered by the Myrillic Dagger.

“Breaking that is too easy for me.”

“Kkyaaaa!”

A scream was immediately let out. I could tell it wasn’t from pain. He must have been filled with bitterness because he gritted his teeth in defeat.

‘Farewell.’

He was an enemy, but I didn’t have any particular ill feelings.

Seogeok!

The dagger swung again, quickly taking his life.

Angel briefly bowed his head.

“…Thank you.”

“What for? I would have subdued him anyway. I just intervened because we’re in a hurry.”

That was true. Angel was also fighting with ease.

“Let’s go quickly.”

We had to join forces quickly to stop Telos.

Kwaaaa!

The flare beams continued to explode across the prairie, and.

“Burn them all!”
Mages aboard the ship were pouring down various spells.

[Those crazy bastards! Are they planning to kill their own allies too!]

Even though the Magic Tower’s mages were among them, they were firing attacks without hesitation.

‘They’re not going to let a single one of us escape.’

They were determined to annihilate everyone here, even if it meant attacking their own allies.

“Let’s go quickly.”

I stepped towards the hellish scene unfolding before my eyes.

* * *

“It won’t be easy to approach like this.”

Liu’s expression hardened as he quickly reached the lower part of the ship and looked up at the sky.

It was difficult to approach because of the barrage of magic that thousands of mages were constantly firing.

Koooowooo!

Stenos’s Blizzard targeted them, but.

Kwaaaaa!

It was not enough to break through the defense magic circle that the Tower Master had directly set up.

“Uncle Liu, and Angel.”

I nodded to the two with hardened expressions.

“I’ll go.”

“Do you have a plan?”

Liu looked worried.

“It’s too dangerous. The Tower Master’s magic circle is strong.”

Angel had the same reaction.

‘A plan…….’

I just nodded to them.

“Just cover me, so I can concentrate.”

And before the two could answer,

Tooowoong!

I kicked off the air and soared.

[What are you planning? It won’t be easy to break through with just anything.]

Oberon, too, narrowed his eyes.

‘What other way is there? I’m just going to smash everything.’

[Huh?]

Before I knew it, the eternal iron dagger was replaced by a longsword in my hand. Pragarakh was vibrating softly.

‘Let’s have some fun.’

Tooowoong!

The speed of my movement gradually increased. I wasn’t discouraged by the pouring magic attacks.

Chwaaaak!

Whenever magic was about to hit me, various defensive spells were deployed.

Liu and Angel were simultaneously covering me, so I could fully trust them and focus solely on my sword.

Uuung!

As I controlled the muscles in my right arm holding Pragarakh, auras bloomed. The powerful energies were sent towards Pragarakh. Now, I had enough aura to use Pragarakh without difficulty.

Moreover, there was a difference from my past life.

‘It’s definitely better to control it with muscles.’

Unlike a thousand years ago when it took all the aura in my body, now I could send only as much as I wanted.

[KiyoOOOOOO!]

The ear-splitting voice of Pragarakh burst out. I hadn’t summoned this guy to cut anything since fighting Snow King.

[You damn master, give me something to eat!]

The starving sword was screaming.

‘Okay. Please, destroy everything.’

Before I knew it, the massive form of Telos was right in front of me. I swung Pragarakh towards the blue barrier surrounding the giant ship.

[Kiyaaaaa!]

Kwaaaaa!

Along with it, an explosion erupted. An unimaginable roar, unlike any magic ever created, echoed across the prairie.

And then, a scene unfolded.

Whether it was the prairie or the ship, everyone present began to witness a shocking sight.

Crack!

The defensive barrier surrounding Telos was cracking.

[Kiyooot! Fun! Fun! Isn’t there more?]

It was a sight that astonished everyone, but Pragarakh still had plenty of power.

Kwaaaaa!

The blue barrier that covered the sky was shattering like a glass window.

‘Yes, yes. Let’s blow it away to there.’

Beyond it, a giant orb came into view. It was a shining crystal sphere attached to the front of the ship, firing flare beams over the prairie.

[Kieeee! That looks a bit tougher? I’ve already used up all the aura you gave me before!]

Pragarakh had exhausted all the aura in my right arm. I immediately pulled up a little more.

‘Hmm. Is this enough?’

I still had plenty of aura.

[Kikiki! Good, good!]

I injected twice the amount of aura into him as before.

Uuung!

At the same time, the crystal sphere began to emit light.

Kwaaaaa!

The flare beam began to burst out as it was.

‘Okay. Let’s do it.’

I, too, swung Pragarakh towards the giant crystal sphere.

[Kiyaaaaaaa!]

The light that flashed momentarily blurred my vision.

Beeeee- My ears were filled with ringing. It was because of the intense explosion created by Pragarakh and the flare beam colliding.

‘Ugh…….’

All the strength in my body had drained away. I was just falling pathetically, feeling the resistance of the air.

[……Ian!]

However, a voice grabbed my dazed mind.

[Snap out of it!]

Oberon’s urgent voice was bringing my fading consciousness back.

[You crazy bastard!]

A massive explosion unfolded in front of me. Even though the remnants of the flare beam were still burning my body, a faint smile appeared on my lips.

‘Bastards…….’

Pragarakh was still gnawing at the crystal sphere.

‘How does it taste?’

Thanks to Pragarakh, who never let go of his prey once he bit it.

Kuaaaa!

The crystal sphere exploded. The aftermath of the secondary impact spread across the prairie.

“Ian!”

A soft sensation supported my roughly falling body. It was as if soft sand was enveloping and clutching my body.

“……Professor Alois.”

“Are you okay?”

A stinging pain was spreading throughout my body, but.

“Of course.”

The corners of my lips curled up in satisfaction.

Kuuuuu…….

Due to the aftermath of the explosion, Telos was also tilting.

[Did you see that crazy bastard? How could he just bring it right into the flare beam as it was firing?]

‘But the result is good, isn’t it?’

Although my whole body was scarred, the giant ship was falling below.

Kuuuuuung!

Eventually, Telos, half-destroyed, touched the ground and was being dragged into the pit of hell.

Instead, what remained in the sky were hundreds of mages. The masters of the Magic Tower and the Five Stars had escaped Telos using levitation magic.

‘Damn bastards.’

Among them, what caught my eye was.

The Tower Master and a few figures around her. These people, who were clearly on a different level from the previous mages, were gathering mana in both hands.

‘The Five Stars…….’

They were the heads of each family, including the powerful figures.

“Ian Delema! You have obtained a strange power! You will have to pay the price for daring to touch the sealed power!”

Even though Telos was destroyed, the Tower Master was still full of composure. She and the powerful figures of the Five Stars began to take action themselves.

Krrrrrr!

The calm sky began to shake again.

[Crazy bastards.]

In the western sky, burning boulders.

In the eastern sky, hundreds of bundles of ice picks.

And in the southern sky, thunderstorms were raging.

Wide-area magic spells were competing to overturn the sky. It was as if they were trying to see the end of the world, a series of high-level magic spells.

The target of all those spells was only us on the prairie.

“……Can we do it?”

Drew, who had approached me, was already holding his long spear, unlike his worried tone.

“I will follow you until I die. Even if this is the end.”

Admoon, too, was clenching his knuckles.

I shook off the dust and stood up to face the Five Stars and the Magic Tower.

“Okay. Let’s go all the way to the end.”

Behind me, there were still plenty of members of the different races and the Circle of Origin. Even in the face of the great power that clouded our vision, our united will was not broken at all.

“Let’s see who will face the end.”

I drew aura from deep within my body.
