Vs Dagruel Part 2

Adalman stood on the

back of the Death Dragon, Wenti, as he glared at the ground.

Wenti who was soaring

high in the sky with her original appearance, that of a wicked dragon, was

scattering around an ominous aura.

Human who have weak

resistance will die just by being exposed to her aura. However, on the contrary

it gives power to Adalman.

‘

Fumu

’

with a nod, Adalman began thinking.

Making pre-battle

statements would be futile as the oppositions opinion was so far off.

Against Dagruel’s army,

which already invaded and trespassed the national borders, even warning is

meaningless.

If that’s the case, he

decided that it might be okay for him to cast a very flashy extreme magic as

the sign of the start of the war.

Adalman begins to chant

the incantation.

Though he can use it

without chanting, he lengthily chants it because of old habits and spiritual

buildup.

However, this

incantation of his, he thought that chanting it properly is better than going

the easy route.

The reason why is, it

can’t be used inside the labyrinth――or rather, it was unusable due to him

lacking the magic power while he was alive――he had the knowledge, but this is

the first time he’s decided to use the magic for real.

If it’s for a flashy

magic, then it will be good. Such was his idea.

Trying not to be too

eager chanting the incantation for the first time in his life, he looks at the

ground and determine the sphere of influence of the magic.

He didn’t care whether

it will activate or not.

According to the ancient

documents, it’s an extreme magic that needs several Archmages to activate it.

It’d be funny if he

couldn’t invoke the magic, fortunately there’s no witnesses here. So, he will

just cast a different magic at that time.

(Well now, this magic

will become the signal for the start of the war. Please succeed!)

While Adalman prayed so,

the perfect magic mastery effect of the Ultimate Gift

『

Necromicon

』

is

activated.

Adalman’s knowledge is

being corrected by Seeker of Truth, and words are engraved into his mind. It

seems that if he succeed in chanting the spell in the first time, he will be

able to invoke the magic immediately for the second time.

(Ah, I see…… in this

case, I understand that chanting the incantation is not necessary.)

Filled with a pleasant

feeling of fulfillment, Adalman understood his ability.

And then ――

[1]

「

Well then, you better

experience this properly――an ancient extreme magic

[2]

――”Tempest Meteor

[3]

”!!

」

――In an instant,

glittering dazzling lights pours down from the magic formation that appeared

suddenly in the sky.

It’s as beautiful as the

wonder of a starry night……. However, it’s a dreadful light that brings forth

death and destruction.

Even though it’s a grand

magic that would need several Archmages of old to successfully cast, the

completed extreme magic of Adalman is several levels above it in scale and

power. And it’s magic that starts with Tempest in its name symbolizing their

country.

With the correction of

Ultimate Gift

『

Necromicon

』

,

he had shown this world the perfected result.

The best that the past

Archmages able to summon were just several meteorites.

Even so, it was a grand

magic of strategic-class showing a great effect as anti-army magic, but…… the

number of meteorites summoned by the magic that Adalman invoked exceeds 1.000.

The ground is rained

down by meteorites with diameter of 50cm~1m, spreading death to Dagruel’s

troops.

Even if the giants are

known for their superior regeneration power, there’s no meaning if they

received damage they can’t regenerate. The limbs that tried to catch the

meteorite are blown off, and their heads are crushed.

The giant race who

intended to invade with their huge power is at their wit’s end as they weren’t

even able to escape.

The extreme magic that

Adalman cast showed more effect than he had intended.

Only by one magic,

nearly one third of Dagruels army became unable to fight.

「

Look, Gadra. As I

expected, my magic is wonderful right?

」

Surprised by the result

having more effect than expected, Adalman boasts it to his companion, Gadra,

like it’s natural.

Because his bone face

doesn’t have an expression, he’s safe knowing that his true feelings weren’t

exposed.

Being able to boast to

the man who is his rival is the greatest thing, above all else.

It was not amusing for

Gadra who came to this war against his will, but he can’t help admitting the

power of Adalman’s extreme magic.

For Gadra-roushi who is

a newcomer, he wanted to attain some achievement.

You see, since he earned

his affiliation with Demon Lord Rimuru only by deserting the Empire, it was

painful, not being useful at all.

This war was a

competition for the hegemony of this world. He thought, if he couldn’t be

useful now, he’d end up being useless throughout in his career history.

Although he’s taken part

in the discussion of various researches, he’s not satisfied with just that.

「

Humph. Shut up! I will

show you the real extreme magic!

It’s just that, because

my magic power is not enough, could I have you cooperate with me……

(Rather, what the heck

is this guy, how can he learn such magic!? His forte should be Divine Magic and

Undead Magic though……

This kind magic is my

specialty you know…… I’m, sad.)

」

Gadra with Adalman’s

cooperation commencing the chant of the incantation while harboring an

indescribable feeling.

Gadra receives the aid

of Ultimate Gift

『

Grimoire

』

and

understand the principle of the incantation as well as Adalman.

(Indeed, this is really

wonderful! Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough energy even with my magic

power……)

Gadra regrets that he’s

unable use the magic just with his own power, but it can’t be helped and he

come to a clear decision.

He had reincarnated

repeatedly and was proud of his enormous amounts of energy, far more than most

people, but compared with the high-ranking of Tempest, he is just an

insignificant person.

There’re frustrated

feelings of being defeated by Adalman who once was his rival, but he

understands that being prideful is useless.

So he chooses the

strongest magic in his knowledge and begins to chant it.

The highest level of

darkness magic that even Adalman don’t know.

While Adalman just used

probably one of the highest level summoning spells. If Adalman is able to use

summoning arts, it’s not strange that its application usage reached the

ultimate level.

‘Then, with the highest

level of darkness magic he’s most skillful in, let’s show it in this place!’

Gadra thought so.

And――

「

Oh thou who suffers in

everlasting starvation, heed my call! “Nihilistic Hazard

[4]

”!!

」

The strongest of Divine

Magic is the ultimate anti-personnel destruction magic “Disintegration” which

is well-known.

It’s known that there’re

a few people who can use it, but its high power is guaranteed.

It’s said that person

who receives a direct hit and can survive doesn’t exist

[5]

. However, if there’s

weakness of this magic, it might be that it’s a single target magic.

The attack range is

extremely short. It was a natural reason why the magic has a high power, but

against an army it was a useless magic.

Because he’s well

informed about this matter, it might be why Adalman used the strongest spell in

summoning magic――

――And what Gadra chose

was the opposite of “Disintegration”, the strongest large-scale annihilation

spell of darkness magic.

A very large magic

formation emerges on the ground and the sky.

And, like connecting the

sky and the ground, dark electric discharge begun to appear――and innumerable

spheres of electricity were released.

The fang of darkness

that swallows all substances.

It’s darkness magic that

brings void to this world and is considered as one of the forbidden spells.

The void let loose in

the world doesn’t vanish until it’s negative energy turns null.

Everyone inside the

barrier of the magic formation that links the ground and the sky is devoured

and their existence is erased.

It was one of the

ultimate magics that was feared, as a mistake in its control can bring

destruction to the world.

「

Wahahahaha! How’s that!

Amazing right!?

」

「

You fool! What are you

thinking! If I didn’t help you, you would absolutely fail to control it you

know?!

」

「

Th, that’s might be

right, but I want to be in the spotlight too!

」

「

That’s not an excuse! To

use such dangerous magic……

」

Adalman is stunned.

Certainly, as this world

might be destroyed if Gadra fails his control of the magic, Gadra can’t make

any excuse.

He was confident in his

control, but he almost loses his consciousness as he didn’t have enough energy.

He succeeded in his

experiment before with his own energy, and the best he could do was to confine

several people inside the field. It’s only to the degree of better than an

anti-personnel spell.

It was barely a success

at that time, but it would end with casualty that a village disappeared in case

he failed in his control.

That’s because he was

only putting a little energy in it, when he put enormous magic essence to

invoke the magic like what they done right now, the world will be really in

crisis.

But, that’s only the

story if he failed.

「

We-well, it’s all good

right. It’s a success!

」

Gadra who’s not

reflecting, could be called as a degenerate mad genius.

Adalman letting out a

given up sigh as he recalled the thing.

It would be useless even

if he says anything anyway, in fact, there’s no problem since he succeeded.

Besides, they seemed to

succeed in greatly reducing the number of the enemy’s army with two extreme

magic.

As the giant race could

be said as a lump of energy, they seem not to be totally annihilated as they

can counter the minus energy.

But still, when compared

to their original number, the number had already decreased by a half. Normally

in such situation people would give up the war and withdraw.

Then what will be their

choice……?

With that thought,

Adalmans group would breathlessly witness it with their eyes.

――The Giants continue

their attack without minding the death of their comrades.

Those who avoided

instant death regenerated from their damage with their transcendence

regeneration like it was nothing ――They didn’t show any behavior indicating

that they mind about their decrease in number.

Their appearance is very

eerie and aroused fear to those who opposed them.

But that’s in case the

people who fight them had a sense of fear.

Adalman and co are fed

up after seeing the attitude of Dagruel’s army.

「

Good grief…… Do those

people didn’t feel fear?

」

「

Not at all, I guess.

Usually when thinking about countermeasures, they should have pull back

immediately.

」

Looking at each other

face, the two nod in agreement of each other’s thoughts.

「

Should

we fall back?

」

「

Yeah.

We used too much magic power. Let’s withdraw.

However, I’m glad that

my corps is the Immortal Legion, which don’t fear death.

The Giant race army,

which thought nothing of death, they’re more difficult than a mere death

soldier……

」

「

Completely.

But, it’s good that we can reduce their number here.

They’re still a threat

even with such number, but they would be defeated if the clash begins as they

didn’t know anything.

」

「

There’s

no meaning having the advantage of number. Oh well, let’s return and report it

to Shion-dono

」

Adalman caressed the

head of the Death Dragon Wenti and gave her an order to withdraw.

He succeeded in the

opening by delivering a blow to the enemy with his magic accordingly to his

original objective. There’s no need to stay too long in the place.

He comes back quickly as

he need to report the threat of Dagruel’s army.

Their fearsome points

were their immovable mind and their super regeneration.

Even though it’s

possible to revive the Immortal Legion, it would be of course impossible if

they were crushed into small pieces.

He has the premonition

that the giants with their overwhelming destructive power will trample on the

Immortal legion.

Oh well, that’s fine.

Anyway, Adalman think

that it’s good as long as they’re able to decrease the number of the giants.

(At any rate, I need to

return and discuss about this.)

Adalman returned to the

camp while thinking about what would happen later.

−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−

The total number of

Chain of Restrain Titan Army was approximately 100.000.

For his army to be

reduced by about 50.000 before the clash with the enemy main force, even for

Dagruel, it was a miscalculation

For Dagruel, however, he

didn’t feel the loss at all.

That is because the

people killed by the magic had little strength and  have no luck.

It’s true that it was a

splendid magic.

But, falling back due to

what can be assumed as anti-group magic is something that a soldier couldn’t

do.

In fact, the steps of

the true main force of the people he trusted will not be hindered by anyone.

The magic a while ago

was certainly splendid.

Probably it’s the work

of that Ghost King named Adalman who visited him to construct the transfer

magic formation before.

As expected, he has a

superb ability.

And also his magician

friend who looks like a wise man, it wouldn’t be strange if the second magic is

his work.

They’re a wonderful

people. As an enemy, they make his heart excited.

It just unfortunately,

Dagruel can’t be defeated

by magic

.

Because, as a true

giant, he has the absolute ability called

『

Magic

Nullity

』

.

By activating the Anti

Magic Guard (Absolute Magic Defense), it will automatically neutralize all

magic attacks.

As long as he has this

ability, he can ignore all magic attacks.

Therefore, people who

killed by the current magic are weak and an existence which can to be thrown

away.

Suddenly, he thinks

about his sons, Dagura, Ryura and Debura, those three.

They’re going to fight

against him, but what kind of fight they will show to him?

His sons whom only have

big power because he raised them indulgently, but their actual ability is not really

much.

Everyone around Dino

said that handing over the throne to those sons are fine, though he ignored

it…..

It’s must be the work of

that crafty guy. Anyway, he let him corrupt his sons, and it might be a

compliment that he thought to add them as his subordinates.

……Or possibly, his aim

might be actually was to deprave Dagruel and making him retire after foreseeing

this current situation.

As a matter of fact, he

was anticipating the current, this situation.

――By depraving and

making Dagruel retire, is it possible to escape from Veldanava’s rule?

‘Am I thinking into it

too much?’ so Dagruel denied the thought .

That good-natured friend

of his is also affiliated with Velda. That’s right, we two can’t go against

Velda’s order.

Because it’s absolutely

impossible to go against their creator master.

But, in case of his

sons, they’re released from that curse.

(That’s right, I….. Did

I wish for my sons to live freely?)

Even so, Dagruel won’t

hold back if they stand in front of him as an enemy.

(They should be

stronger. At least, they could last for a bit against me.)

Dagruel has no

hesitation.

He only accomplishes his

mission.

Simple and frank, as he

was a soldier.

And so――

The power of the Giants

sweep over this battlefield.
