The battle went well, and Tai did not allow that to happen.

With the help of effective buffers provided by summoned creatures, magical artillery fire, and the discipline of the defenders, Leonis's army successfully repelled the invaders on this front. The giants hadn't even reached the city walls yet. At the same time, he glanced at the fire near the city gate and knew that there was a dangerous battle to defend the bridge.

It's a good result, but it's not satisfying. So, when he drank a potion to replenish his SP, the necromancer mentally ordered one of his retinues to move towards his position with an explicit order to kill except himself, Lady Yseult, and A

Everyone except IE.

After already slaughtering Morgan's team, his [Hell Ice Elemental] crashed through a house and headed towards Lady Selter's team of summoners, trampling a pterodactyl and crushing it beneath its more powerful body. The creature's sudden appearance disrupted the mage's formation, and even Anne and her team interrupted their magical barrage.

On top of that, they don't summon allies anymore.

Lady Selt, in the process of summoning another [Balder's winged daughter], her spell was disrupted and she almost found herself crushed by the rampaging creatures. "Get down!" Tai shouted as he feigned surprise.

The necromancer, skillfully guiding his servant spiritually, "heroically" rushed to the priestess and grabbed her by the waist. Before she could come to her senses, Tay pushed the two of them to the ground and "carefully" dodged a nail aimed at the woman's head.

Cliché to save success!

In fact, the monster won't hurt her, but having an excuse not casting spells will only help Tye's plan.

"Stay away from them!" Anne, once a wayward witch, turned to the monster and unleashed a powerful thunderbolt; The clever girl, she guessed that the person who summoned the creature would protect it from [fire]. This attack crumbles the elemental, but also drives it to attack Anne's units......

Follow the order.

Tay used this elaborate opportunity to drag Mrs. Soult to safety and then helped her to her feet. "Are you okay?" The necromancer asked the panicked priestess.

"Yes, thank you, my friend," she said, regaining her composure and immediately firing a flash of light at her cold attacker. Tay casts a basic buff on her so he has an excuse not to summon additional support.

[Hell Ice Elemental] slaughtered adventurers and defenders at the same time, destroying the cannonball of magic. Powered by demonic energy, this creature transforms from a neutral force of nature into a brutal killing machine. The corpse hanging from the icicle formed a terrible shield that terrified all who saw it.

However, with a clear command not to hurt Anne, the elemental finds herself repelled by her dense spells.

It's a delicate balance. Tay didn't want the giants to raze Leonis, but he didn't want the defenders to win a big victory either. The princess who died today or the servant of the governor, he would not have to kill again. The necromancer hopes to achieve victory in a way that outweighs the losses, as his own army is intact and all opponents are too weak to stand up to him.

In A

Under the spell of ie and Yseult, the monster is left alone and eventually explodes into ice flakes and snowflakes, but the damage has already been done. Without the support of magic, the giants approached.

One of them managed to grab the walls with both hands and crush an archer, who, because he was too unlucky to run away in time, raised his head and crossed the fortifications. Wu Long immediately fired a shot into his eye, causing him to faint, but more people tried to break in.

"Things are out of control," Lady Serr said, from summoning to destroying the intruders with bright light. Meanwhile, Anne and the survivors of her unit return, shooting at the giants with comets and other spells. "I'm worried about Her Royal Highness the Princess and your disciples."

Yes, not so much.

In fact, his servant soon returned to him and was with Morgan. It didn't take long for him to guess what was going on, and a relieved smile appeared on his face, from the heart. "We survived," Laufey said, feigning exhaustion. "We managed to get out of ...... That monster survived. ”

"Laufey saved me," Morgan said, massaging the freshly healed scar on her back. Although she looked genuinely painful, the necromancer noticed a twisted hint of happiness in her eyes. "I stitched up the wound with magic, but I need to heal."

"Alright, take it." Tye pulled a potion from his belt and handed it to her, unhurriedly looking at the girl's shadow. It flickered briefly, revealing its wings, and then quickly returned to normal. The witch greedily drank the potion as if it were her first time, confirming his thoughts.

The experiment was a success.

And to his surprise! She didn't burn in the sun, and she didn't reveal her true immortal nature! Tay wonders how a soulless vampire container and an invisible shadow demon interact, but his theory proves correct. The bookbinding succeeds in blending the two into a perfect whole.

But after surviving this battle, he will have all the time to study his new creation.

"We must fortify the main entrance," Mrs. Selt declared as the explosion in the area resonated throughout the city. "We can't let them gain a foothold here."

"I'm leaving." Tae announced, and cast a [Acceleration] spell on himself to increase his speed. "Laufey, Morgan, you run this place and protect Anne and Lady Thorre"

They are the only ones he likes and will not be invaded.

"My friend, you can't go alone!" Mrs. Soult protested.

"I can call for help," he said, and ran recklessly towards the second front. The priestess summons him, but finds herself forced to go back and kill the giant. Meanwhile, Laufey and "Morgan" smiled maliciously at him out of sight. "I want to help the princess!"

That is, he will make her die faster.

As he hurried through the deserted streets, the civilians were already running towards one of the few castles in the city, and Tay regretted having to keep his disguise. If he can show his true level, he will fly across the battlefield with magic and kill everyone.

Now, he has to run, and agility has always been his weakest attribute.

When he reached another front, he found that the situation was much more dire than when he left.

As expected, the giants broke through the main entrance. Although Lyons' guards pulled the bridge down to the surface, there was a huge witch who froze part of the lake, creating an ice path that the army could walk through; Although it was too small for more than one giant to enter at the same time, trolls and ice orcs had already poured in. Thanks to the barricades, the City Watch, including Percy, heroically held their ground, but the trolls made a comeback again and again.

To make matters worse, the leader of the giants entered Leonis and carved a path of destruction in it. He is now engaged with the defenders near the market area.

…

His shop! His experiments!

At this moment, everything else doesn't matter. Not a princess, not a battle, not a city. Tae's mind is entirely focused on saving his shop from destruction.

Necromancers climb to the top of a house and run on the rooftops of the city to avoid barricades, and the sidewalks are littered with corpses that orcs are gnawing on. He soon reached the market area, or rather the place where the giants had survived their rampage.

Stopped on the edge of a house, which was close to his shop, was still there.

The good news is that his home is intact.

The bad news is that the princess is still alive, and she fights the nearby giant leader along with the elite warriors. Tay notices a knight dressed in golden plate armor and wielding a silver spear, whom he considers to be the leader, a masked witch, and a few other warriors who exude strength and experience. His instincts tell him that most people are in their 40s.

They mainly focus on destroying the giant leader with spells or fending off the ice trolls who follow him, while the Titans try to smash the princess with a warhammer. The royal family swapped out her clothes for sleek silver armor and a sword of light, moving with incredible speed and agility.

From his observations, the situation seems simple. The giants may have singled out the princess as the leader of their enemies, focusing their attention entirely on her. He tried to trample her under his feet, raining her down with his war hammer, and destroying nearby buildings, trying to crush her to death like a bug. The princess is on the defensive, moving around the behemoth, trying to take advantage of its natural slowness and lack of open space to confuse it.

While most of his troops are fending off the trolls, the leader bombards the giants with spears of light in favor of the princess. He mainly aimed at the gaps in the giant's legs, trying to knock him down; But his [light] magic failed to destroy the monster's magical ice armor, turning the situation into a tense blockade. The archers tried to support their lord, but their projectiles were bounced back by the giants and did no damage.

He was getting more and more restless.

"Fear the wrath of Utgard, lord of the Jotuns!" The leader of the giants shouted in his native language, which only his men and Tye could understand. "My roots are mine, little people!" It's my right! In the name of Heim!"

This made the alchemist stop.

Heim, one of the five catastrophes prophesied to bring Ragnarok, is also a potential conqueror of Jotunheim. Huge winter queen. Could it be that the purpose of the invasion she ordered was not just to plunder? Is convergence really a natural disaster?

Tay promised himself to investigate after his victory.

"Ice Bomb." The giant raised his warhammer, and his body spewed icicles in all directions, destroying houses, tearing people to shreds, and destroying pavements. Even the giant's half-orc slaves were not spared. The giant's intentions are obvious: to create more open space to maneuver and at the same time quickly harm the "smaller insects". Because his trolls can regenerate from their wounds, they can always get up.

When the leader manages to create a light barrier to protect his ally, the princess simply dodges, running around the giant's ankle and piercing his armor with her sword. The Titans, though angry, don't seem to be hurt. He tried to suppress her in retaliation, and his weapon smashed the house and nearby fighters, but failed to hit his main target.

Level 20 is nothing! She lied about her true strength, this woman who doesn't trust others! She's going to have to get to level 30 at least!

In spite of. From his position, Tay has the perfect angle to shoot her in the back. The fireball went wrong and was a distraction at the critical moment. The necromancer concentrates his forces and prepares for a coup d'état.

"[Muspelflame]," he said, his magic condensing into a tight sphere of lava that burned with fire in the palm of his hand. He just had to aim

The princess walked directly in front of Tay, and the leader of the giants raised his hammer to break them both.

His shop!

The necromancer, acting entirely on his instincts, hurriedly switched his target and shot Utgard the Jordanian in the face.

His fireball smashed his ice helmet from the side, blasting the giant's head into a rain of ice, brains, and colorful blood. The sheer force of the explosion caused the Colossus to roll backwards and crash into its own troops, making a terrible sound.

Tae was speechless for a while, realizing what he had done.

Almost immediately after that, the cracks of "convergence" stopped expanding and, in fact, began to shrink. The trolls are terrified and shocked by the sudden death of their leader and break the formation, escaping the spells and weapons of the defenders.

The necromancer glanced at the princess, who looked at the giant, and then at Tye himself, and seemed to recognize him. "You...... You killed it......"

Tay also can't believe he's missed the chance to kill her.

"You!" The knight in armor waved his fist at Tye as a sign of pride in his brotherhood. "You saved us all!"

…… No.

No, no, no!

"This one!" To make matters worse, a spellcaster who frequents his "boiling cauldron" recognizes him. "It's an alchemist!"

Now that they had seen him and recognized him, he had no chance of secretly killing the princess!

A shouting horn of pure ice appeared in Tye's empty hands, a proof of his defeat.

"Aspect! Aspects! aspect!"

The cheers of the defender made him want to vomit in shame.

After the tragic death of their leader and the end of their reunion, Jotun's war effort collapsed completely. Some giants hurried back before the rift could heal, while others, such as trolls, were thrown into chaos. When the royal army arrives to rescue the Lyons, they find that the city has been won, leaving only those left behind to kill. The eldest witch was killed by Annie's comet, while the youngest witch fled to the Brocksamed Forest with several survivors. The day was victorious.

Princess Gwen Haifa did not die like a martyr, but lived like a hero.

As a magnanimous royal, she gathered everyone in the city's main square to pay their respects in all directions. As he and the heroes of the day stood in front of a crowd of cheering citizens, Ty noticed that Laufey was grinning at him among supporters, with "Morgan" beside her.

She knew, the cursed elf. She knew how he screwed up, he hated it, and she thought it was funny.

"You must be glad she survived," Anne said beside him, her pleasant smile relaxing him a little. So far, the young witch has the highest number of kills in the fight, Take

u followed. The necromancer wants her to move up a few levels from it.

On Tai's other side, Percy smiled happily as well. "I'm just glad there weren't too many casualties," he said, earning him more respect for defending the gates than he did as an adventurer.

"I wish Morgan was dead." Tacoru muttered beside Anne, and the witch pinched his shoulder. "What? She's an arrogant nuisance. ”

Tay couldn't agree more, but with a demon at the helm, the redhead's behavior will only improve.

The princess finally came up to them, followed by Lady Searle and the heavily armed chieftain. She first gave Taketaka a gold pin to praise him for his strict defense of the walls, which the Japanese man stoically accepted. Then she walked up to Anne, and the two women exchanged bright smiles, and Her Royal Highness pinned the shiny pin to her coat.

After Princess Gwen Haifa dealt with Anne, she confronted Thai.

"Last but not least, Walter Tay." Although the woman's words were gentle, the applause of the crowd could not have been louder. "You have proven your valor, you have killed the evil Utgardians, saved Leonis from destruction...... And my life. ”

"Thank you for saving the city, and for saving Your Highness." "Know that the Kingdom of Avalon is eternally grateful to you"

"I just want to save my shop," Tai replied bluntly. Anne and the crowd laughed as they took his words for a joke. Even Mrs. Soult laughed.

Yet the princess was as serious as ever. Her face is like a rustic mask, and it seems that any outpouring of emotion exposes her weaknesses. Still, she pinned the gold pin to his shirt. "I may need your help soon," she said, her voice low enough only he could hear.

When the princess next starts decorating Percy, the people applaud Tye. But most of the crowd focused only on the necromancer, the hero of the day.

He hates it. Fame meant scrutiny, but also the end of his calm, methodical daily life.

However, when his gaze fell on Morgan, the necromancer remembered that he still had a trump card.

The day passed, and a long night was coming.
