Even if he could easily put aside his emotions and think rationally in the midst of a battle, Sir Leinster was a mortal after all, not a calm machine. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Since he is a mortal, there will always be times when flaws are revealed, especially when a lot of mana has been consumed in the previous confrontation, even if he has a moonstone fragment as support, he needs to take a moment to recover his strength. What's more, the old crow is not young after all, and has long passed the heyday of physical strength and energy, and can no longer maintain a strong concentration after trying his best to usurp the method.

The "natural disaster" created by the other party caused immeasurable damage to the earth, from the barren wilderness on the outside to the various facilities inside the manor, all of which were destroyed by the amplified power of the spell. On the ground where the serpent passed, there is still a scorched black path that proves that it once existed.

In particular, the dead mages deliberately used the nodes he set up to extract a large amount of magic flowing in the leylines as the basic structure of the spell, which would have a lot of effects on the natural environment that was originally formed under a specific cycle of mana. If it weren't for Sir Leinster's channeling of the remaining magic from the disintegration spell into the leylines, the damage caused earlier would have been even greater.

However, concentrating on channeling the grand magic of the moonstone fragments was so stressful that he seemed to have aged ten years in the fierce confrontation in just over ten minutes, and even seemed to be a circle smaller. So he finally breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the wave of destruction that had swept through the wasteland finally dissipate, and the cold fog that had almost engulfed the entire land began to fade with it.

Although he had managed to win with great difficulty, and the hostile mana reaction was no longer visible in the surrounding wasteland, he did not let go of his grip on the mana until he was able to confirm it with his own eyes. Soon, the fragments of the moonstone were taken back into the wooden box by him, and the expanded magic power also precipitated, only the Rubik's Cube, which protected this room, did not stop operating, and remained vigilant against the outside at all times.

Uls Leinster, on the other hand, was a battle-hardened mana, and even Frick could tell that he was tired, but when he withdrew his mana, he could barely leak. The magic that wandered around the periphery suddenly turned back into the moonstone fragments, and the rest of it slowly contracted in an orderly manner.

I don't know if it's because of the arrogance of being the leader of the Crow Society, he still didn't show his weakness in front of his subordinates after all. The magic under retraction control was smooth and majestic, and although there were occasional flashes of unbridged loopholes due to fatigue, it was far beyond the level of most of the wizards present.

Perhaps the leader of the Raven Society doesn't need to be as powerful as some underground organizations, and he doesn't need to make his men fear him more than anything else, but it's still necessary to show that he's strong enough to control the big picture. After all, the head of this society is not only the one who guides the research direction of the members, but also needs to be the leader of the mages when fighting with other forces.

The exhaustion had taken a deep toll on him, and he was now clearly using his last strength to support the finishing touches. It would not have been easy for Uls Leinster to do this by human standards, especially since he had dismantled an extremely dangerous spell a few moments earlier.

But that was only for ordinary people - their enemies were far from ordinary, but rather they were a being far greater than all the dangerous enemies they had ever come into contact with. Even if the flaw is only exposed for a short moment, it is enough for those who have premeditated to target that moment to attack.

If you look at what happened in hindsight, perhaps half of the blame can be placed on Ulles Leinster, and it is precisely because he exposed some flaws after coming into contact with the right method that the matter took a turn for the worse and finally developed to the point where it was difficult to control.

Because at the moment when Sir Leonster's retracted magic shrank to the point where he was about to cross the last line of defense, "something" lurking in those magic powers was activated.

It was clearly a trap set by the other party long before the spells were usurped by Urs Leinster, and because the construction of these spells was so inconspicuous and the magic of the composition was so complex that the old crow didn't even notice its existence. When the extremely scattered trigger points hidden in the disintegrating magic were activated one by one, it was too late for him to destroy them immediately.

Boom -

A deafening sound resounded in all directions, followed by a vibration that shook the large house with several layers of defenses, and the "explosive bombs" distributed on the inner and outer sides of the shield were detonated at the same time. For a moment, a piercing cracking sound almost filled Frick's ears.

A wave of roar and flash of light flooded the hall in an instant, shaking everyone to the ground once again. Frick can assert that the explosion was far more powerful than the previous collision, especially since the explosion of pure magic caused massive damage to the mechanics that relied on magic power.

Not only the outermost wall made of magic, but also the heavy masonry wall was torn down, and the falling shards rained down on the ground, causing many mages to hurriedly prop up their shields to protect themselves. However, they soon realized that their knee-jerk self-preservation had only further exacerbated the power of the long-prepared trap - because the magic they had unleashed in their haste had undoubtedly contributed to the further expansion of the mixed magic.

When they found that their magic was mixed with the machinery that was still resisting the internal and external attacks, it was too late to make any moves to turn the tide. The different unblended magical powers forcibly merged together in a very short period of time, and then broke down together due to the unstable chain reaction.

Fortunately, Urs Lyonster still had the power to control the outside world, and if he hadn't done his best to reconcile the conflict magic that had already begun to react violently because of the conflict, the hall would have been demolished entirely. But even so, the constant cracks had already destroyed its entire structure, and it would not have been long before it collapsed if it had not been for Sir Leinster's mana to force it up.

As he watched the serpent-like "Scourge" spell be controlled and dismantled, Frick was relieved for a moment, believing that they had successfully stopped the attack of the enemy group, and that everything was under the control of the old crow. Perhaps the instinct hidden in his heart had warned him, but he was carried away by the joy of victory, and he did not pay attention, or even notice the traps hidden in the magic.

So it wasn't until he watched the direction he was facing almost collapse, and the cold wind outside the wall poured into the hall along with the cold mist in the wall, that he finally realized that the enemy was more dangerous than he had imagined. The spells set up by the Raven Society did have good defensive capabilities, but the defense system that was once considered extremely strong was breached, and they were completely exposed to the ground.

"Damn, that's what they're really for!"

Sir Leonster, who was relieved, barely managed to squeeze out a few words from between his clenched teeth, and then raised his voice and shouted to the surrounding magicians: "While I can still control the situation, you will withdraw from the hall at once! This is a signal that they are ready to launch their next attack, and everyone be careful not to be exposed to the enemy's vision - they will only attack when we show our flaws!"

Even if Urs used all his strength here, he could barely maintain this hall to the point where it would barely collapse. After all, after consuming a lot of physical strength and magic power in the previous battle, his remaining spirit was no longer able to weave more complex spells.

In fact, while the eruption seemed massive and caused substantial damage, it was by no means an attack by the remnants of the enemy. Just as Sir Lines had expended a great deal of mana in his previous battles, the Order had undoubtedly paid a price.

The fact that the enemy did not attack as soon as they were in chaos is a sign that they did not have the power to act as they pleased. Perhaps the best thing to do now is to retreat immediately to other locations outside of the enemy's field of view - at least that would reduce the chance of being sniped by the enemy.

The problem was that there were a number of difficulties with implementing this proposal, especially since some of the mages were injured by the surprise attack. It is true that many people still retain mobility, but it may not be easy for them to escape over the crumbling stairs to the lower floors with the same ease as those servants.

The hall was in a state of chaos, the explosion causing far more damage to the house than the impact of the Scourge had been, and those who had fueled their lives for their spells had been taken by these humble traps instead of what they had achieved in the final work.

I wonder if the mages of the Raven Society never considered that someone would destroy the entire defense of the manor by attacking the defenses inside and out, but when the walls of the hall were shattered, most of them also lost the ability to strengthen the surrounding defenses.

More than half of the delicate machines placed on the nodes were affected by the anomalous magic, and black smoke and sparks were emitted from the sudden increase in pressure. Of the mages standing near the machines, none of them were injured by the outburst, but at least two-thirds of them temporarily lost control of their magic.

One can imagine how panicked these people who usually concentrate on the study of spells lost their most powerful specialty, and although they will also do proper physical training according to the rules of the Academy, it seems that this is not enough to develop the ability to move freely in complex environments.
