Chapter 88: Stalling the Wyverns

T

"DOMAIN OF BALMUNG!"

The barrier erected immediately around us causing the incoming fireballs to hit the barrier instead of us. It was one of the most dangerous times I was in since I became a magician. However, I always managed to get a stop of the situation before it gets too worse.

The entire area is now bombarded with flames that I can feel the whole place shaking too much. And even if I am not the one being hit by the flames, I can feel the hotness being emitted by the bombardment in my barrier. The pressure is just too great that I can't have the barrier last a few more hits. But I endured or the bombardment will just be too dangerous.

Then I just remembered. Yuto has the ability to teleport to a certain location right? And on top of that, he can transport other people too as long as I can supply him mana. I have a little bit of power left in me and I can still maintain the Domain of Balmung a little bit more time.

"Yuto! Teleport them back to the cave again where we came from! I will supply the mana you need to channel the teleportation magic to teleport everyone! Just teleport them and I will keep the Wyverns at bay while you do it!"

"Master! What are you saying!?" Yuri looked confused.

"Just trust me! I can't handle the barrier any longer!"

Yuri was still about to say something and stop me from doing so when Maple stopped her.

"No, don't do it. I know your master has a plan and if you did it, you will just ruin his plan!"

"Miss Maple is right, sister. We have to keep Anya and everyone else to safety. And besides, our master is not someone who will easily die from something trivial like this!"

I want to contradict what Yuto said but this will just ruin the whole moment of my glory so I decided to just keep quiet and focus on maintaining the barrier while limiting my mana consumption as little as possible so that I have enough mana to transfer on Yuto.

Yuto nodded and prepares his spell. Seeing him do the final preparations for casting the spell, I started doing the mana transfer to Yuto in a small but steady amount of mana. This allows me to recover mana slowly while transferring the newly generated mana to my familiar. The process of maintaining the Domain of Balmung and transferring the mana is exhausting and taxing my health. I felt dizzy from the constant loss of mana and I am afraid I will pass out after this. And besides that, doing the mana channeling and keeping the Domain of Balmung intact is harder than multitasking 10 works at the same time.

The Domain of Balmung's defenses is slowly wavering since the mana maintaining it is slowly getting drained and I made sure that I am minimizing it. But it is not enough for the wyverns to break in yet. I noticed that the magic circle beneath everyone's feet started to spin crazily and sparks appeared on the borders of the Magic Circle. Yuto's eyes glow red and his wings spread out of his back. Anya wriggled a little bit out of Yuri's embrace and shouted.

"Come back safe! Don't die!"

I pat her head and transferred the mimic to her arm in case I won't make it. Before she can say anything, Yuto slams his palms to the ground and he finalized all of the processes.

"MASS TELEPORT!"

BOOM!

The surroundings around the magic circle made a loud noise and I saw everyone disappear. I grinned after seeing them teleport out of the area safely. But the sudden pain in my head caused me to almost collapse. Still, I didn't want to fall over and let the wyverns kill me. I am not that weak.

"Hey, Kazuma, are you sure that is the best choice you can do? Surely you can have them with you in the battle right?" Blue started to speak.

"Oh, you are still here huh?"

"Have you forgotten? I can't walk, I am inside the phone so how the heck would I move? Even if I want to run, I really can't. The phones have no legs, to begin with."

"Haha, you are right."

"Why are you acting like this is something from a movie where you can create a noble sacrifice and die for your comrades? It doesn't suit you one bit," Blue sarcastically said.

"The hell?! Who said I am planning to die here?! I am not going to die yet! I still wanted to experience many things! I have not even got a single girlfriend so I refuse to die here!"

"Pfft, as expected of a virgin guy. Let's see how you pull off this battle okay?"

"As if you have something to contribute!"

I removed the gloves in my hands. Although the barrage of attacks is still raining towards the barrier, I didn't bother much, sooner or later, I will remove the barrier anyway, so might as well let it collapse and keep calm. I still remembered the words of the dragon about the mark he bestowed on me.

"That is not a curse. It is something of a mark I gave to you as a blessing. It is a mark you can use to borrow a little bit of dragon power from the mark despite you being a pure human. If you want to use that power, use it moderately. The power of a dragon on a human hand might occur trouble for you so minimize the usage of it."

Borrowing the power of a dragon is something I really want to avoid. I don't want to be a dragon in the very end but this situation is desperate already. I no longer have much mana left and it is enough only for me to stay awake barely. My raw power as a human is not even close to the strength of a wyvern so there is literally has no choice for me in this situation.

"Seventh Seal Unlock!"

The moment I muttered that the mark on my hand glow red and my whole arm started to get covered with black scales and judging from the scale, my hand started to be defined as something really sturdy. The Domain of Balmung started to waver and the wyverns relentlessly attacked. It didn't take a few strikes before the barrier fell down. The wyverns started attacking but I did not panic, instead, I feel fine. One of the wyverns gets close enough. In my mind, I am still lacking in raw power but my hand didn't have that mindset. When the wyverns were about to strike, I punched to the direction of the wyverns in one go and before I knew it, the wyverns attacking were reduced to ashes all of a sudden.

I didn't expect that and before anything else, the wyverns did not get to survive the shock wave my punch gave. All of the wyverns died in one hit.
