"Bang ——!!!"

In a cavern deep in the canyon, a violent explosion suddenly appeared without warning, sending flames from it and scorching everything around it.

"Get out!"

Vivien held a shield in front of everyone, helping everyone block the invasion of flames, while shouting behind her, and rushing out of the cave with everyone.

However, just after rushing out of the cave, another burst of flames struck.

"Bang ——!!!"

The explosion sounded, causing a fierce flame to burn on the road in front of Vivien and the others, blocking their way.

"Don't let them run away again!"

Georido roared at the nobles and knights around him.

"Give it to me! Whoever kills Thiel Elbein will be rewarded with a thousand ducats! ”

Jeorido's instructions made the knights look fierce and rushed forward without hesitation.

As for the nobles, they all raised their wands or wands and chanted magic in the back.

"Sister Vivien!"

"Captain!"

Lumia and Melika looked at this scene and were a little panicked.

"Don't be nervous!" Vivien immediately said in a deep voice, "Merika, you prepare the magic, Tierle and Lumia are by the side, and I'll take care of the rest!" ”

Vivien's instructions quickly brought the women back to their composure.

Without hesitation, Merica began to chant the magic, and Lumia raised her fist to the side, looking nervous.

As for Thier, he was the calmest of the all, raising the blades in his hands while staring coldly at the enemy rushing ahead.

But they obviously couldn't make it to Thier.

For there is the shield of the kingdom before them.

"Decoy!"

"Resist!"

Vivien used two of her skills to make her magic shine through.

Under the influence of that magic power, all the knights who rushed over involuntarily concentrated in Vivian's direction, as if they were enraged by Vivian, and as if she was the only one left in their eyes, they raised their weapons and beckoned over.

"Boom Boom Boom...!"

In the clash of gold and iron, countless weapons slashed at Vivien's shield one after another, rubbing into bursts of sparks.

"Magician! Get ready to unleash your magic! ”

In the rear, Jeorido, who saw this scene, was not surprised, but shouted loudly at the people around him who were preparing magic.

Vivien's face immediately changed.

[Provocation] is a very good skill, which can lure enemies within a certain range to their position, and attract all attacks to themselves, which is a necessary skill for defensive strikers in the adventurer team.

But this skill is not without weaknesses.

First of all, it has a limited scope.

Secondly, it is also ineffective for beings with a higher level than the skill level.

For example, if [Provocation] is upgraded to level 5, this skill will be effective for existences of about level 50, and the range is not small, but when facing existences above level 60, this skill will not be effective.

Vivien attaches great importance to this skill, so she has raised it to level six, which is effective against beings around level sixty, and the range can envelop everyone within a radius of sixty meters.

The nobles and knights who attacked Vivien's team were all below seventy, and they did not exceed the scope of Vivien's skills.

However, they seemed to have figured out the scope of Vivien's skills, and they kept a considerable distance.

In other words, Vivien will not be able to attract the next wave of attacks.

Georido, however, gave the order mercilessly.

"Put!"

Under its smirk-like voice, the magicians unleashed their magic one after another, causing the barrage of magic to explode from dozens of meters away.

"Freeze Whirlpools!"

Just then, behind Vivien, Merika's shouts rang out.

With a surge of magical power, a cold wind blew up, turning into a vortex that froze the atmosphere, and appeared in front of Vivien.

"Bang bang...!"

The rain of magic that came fell on the cold vortex that froze the atmosphere, but it could not penetrate it, only stirring up bursts of snow and ice crystals.

"Whew... Whew..."

Merika sat down on the ground as if exhausted.

"Merica!"

Vivien reacted immediately, and couldn't help but call out.

The attackers were stunned.

"Actually blocking the attack magic of so many of us alone?"

"Could it be that she's using a superior freeze-based defensive magic?"

"Impossible! That's just mid-level magic! ”

"How can defense be so high?"

"Even if she's an elf, she can't do it!"

One by one, the aristocratic magicians were in an uproar.

They also cast mid-level magic, but they were all blocked by Merika with the same level of defensive magic, no wonder they felt incredible.

They didn't know that during this time, Merika's magic power had been climbing, and the speed was getting faster and faster, and now, the magic released by it had faintly had a power close to that of high-level magic.

It's all backed up by magic.

It's just that with such a powerful magic, Merica's magic power is naturally greatly consumed.

Jeorido sensed this and hurriedly spoke.

"Attack that elven mage first!"

The knights accepted the order.

They rushed in Merica's direction.

Vivien tried to stop it, but her magic was running out of power, causing her to stagger and fall to one knee.

As a result, it was Lumia who made a move.

"No... Don't hurt Merica! ”

Lumia shouted, raised her fists, and rushed forward.

Two knights of about forty levels immediately confronted Lumia and entangled with Lumia.

The rest of the knights wanted to bypass and attack Merika directly.

Pity...

"Buzz!"

In the tremor of the air, a pair of sharp blades, red magic light flickered.

"Get out!"

Tiyer swept forward like a gust of wind, and the blade that had applied the [Magic Sword] in his hand was suddenly swirled by him, and he unleashed a large whirling slash.

"Boom!"

The weapon that touches the Sword is cut off.

"Poof!"

One of the knights who had the misfortune to fall within range of the attack had his chest slashed to the ground.

All of a sudden, the knights wailed one after another, either seriously wounded and fell to the ground, or their weapons were broken, and they were kicked away by Thier.

Until...

"I've finally got my chance."

An ecstatic voice reached Thier's ears, causing Thier's pupils to shrink sharply.

The next moment, an arrow pierced the air and shot straight at him.

"Poof!"

The arrow pierced Thier's flank, unable to react, splattering blood.

"Tiyer!"

Vivien, who knelt on one knee, Merica, who collapsed on the ground, and Lumia, who was entangled, all saw this scene and couldn't help but let out a sad scream.

"Ahem...!"

Thierle coughed up blood, her eyes trembling as she looked in the direction the arrow had come from.

There, the bowed Jeorido was still grinning.
