My dear witch, please turn evil according to the script!

Chapter 126 Death from the Sky
Fire and thunder, hurricane and frost.

Elements surged here, hindering the ever-approaching vampire plant, Ernash.

Meteorites continued to fall from the sky, smashing Ernash, who was wielding branches covered in sharp teeth and barbs, into pieces.

Although purebred Ernash have long since become extinct, these Ernash familiars created by the Blood Demon Clan are actually only slightly inferior to purebred Ernash in terms of vitality.

Otherwise... these high-level demons that once wreaked havoc on the region would not have disappeared.

For Flam, such a large number of enemies was hardly good news.

Not to mention the panicked passengers behind them, the real trouble was the prototype being held back by Roland and Cellina on the other side!

After all, no matter how many familiars there are, they will eventually be wiped out by Flam's various large-scale destructive spells.

but……

How long can Roland and Celinina hold out?

Once he stops casting spells to deal with the prototype of the Demon King's Hand, these familiars will inevitably attack the fragile defense line formed by the shadow beasts summoned by Kalia.

Lacking means of mass destruction, Roland and Cellina were unable to stop the advance of these familiars; aside from anything else, the lives of these civilians were certainly doomed.

All Flam could do now was pray that Roland and Cellina could hold out a little longer, at least until she had almost wiped out these familiars.

In that case... Roland and Cellina, working together with Kalia, might not be able to maintain their defensive line.

The distress call was also urgently sent via magical tools, but it would take at least several hours for reinforcements from the capital to arrive.

After all, even with military teleportation arrays, one can only move between city-states and noble territories.

The desolate wilderness where Flam is currently located cannot be reached via a fixed teleportation array.

Several hours... we can only hope that Roland and that little demon girl can hold off the prototype machine.

But then again, the battle has been going on for about ten minutes now, so why is there still no movement from the other side?

Forget it, let's focus on the present. Anyway, even if we can't beat Roland, it'll be easy for him to run away.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle..."

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle..."

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Watching the massive armor that kept kneeling and getting back up, a somewhat bored Cellina turned to Roland and asked, "Where did you learn all these strange spells?"

"And what exactly did you do to it? Why does it keep squatting?"

"Don't worry about where you learned it. Can't I have more clever ideas and develop more skills?"

Roland made a comment, and then, just as the other party was about to stand up, he cast a spell counterspell.

Then, when the prototype tried to use its magic to stand up, the magic circuits inside it were melted again, and it started emitting strange hissing noises again.

To be honest, this Demon King's Hand in front of me is indeed different from the cheap, low-quality models I've seen before.

It is clearly an unmanned armor constructed with magical formulas and operated through magic circuits inscribed with runes.

But even after its magic circuits were countered and melted by so many spells, it was still able to stand up unscathed!
Its self-repair capabilities are already evident.

As Frum said, it was a prototype machine personally forged by the Demon King himself; it is indeed extraordinary.

The battle itself was rather dull.

Roland originally thought it would be a tough battle.

After all, Roland's initial attempt to influence the prototype's actions using magical interference was unusually unsuccessful!

Its high magic resistance directly exempted Roland from spell effects!

The battlefield was successfully divided thanks to Roland using a technique similar to that of the Fourth Hokage, who used Flash to remove them from the scene.

Roland originally thought that he could only rely on Cellina to absorb the damage in front, and that he could take advantage of the opportunity to use the counter-damage of Thunder Thorns to deal damage, and see if the World Tree's protection would work on this prototype and how effective it would be.

But to everyone's surprise, a single spell countermeasure allowed Roland to gain permanent control over the prototype.

Although the constant depletion of magic power was making Roland somewhat strained.

But no matter what, based on the current consumption, it shouldn't be a problem to stall for two or three hours.

Based on Frum's mowing speed, it should be enough for her to clear out that strange sea, right?

After all, from the very beginning of the battle, the sounds of explosions and terrifying magical fluctuations on the other side never ceased.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that Flam had little way of dealing with this armor that had terrifying magic resistance, Roland would have liked to switch places with Flam.

After all, those vampire plants called Ernash seem to be just created familiars.

There's a way to deal with the familiar Roland. One spell interference can wipe out a whole group, and the speed is definitely faster than Flam.

Unfortunately, this one was quite targeted.

The effect of this unfortunate armor attacking Flam is similar to how Roland is torturing it now.

After unleashing the Curse Counter - Modified, Roland looked at Cellina and said, "Hey, can you be serious for once?"

"Although this prototype doesn't seem to pose much of a threat at the moment, that Chaos Brotherhood's nine-ring legendary swordsman might not necessarily leave."

What if he suddenly jumps out and stabs me?

Cellina didn't look at Roland, but only watched the prototype complete another squat: "Are you so sure he'll come looking for you?"

"Hey, the fact that they charged at me the moment I showed up says it all, right? At least this time they're after me."

The cat that had been staying in Roland's pocket also poked its head out at this moment.

The little cat's head was full of questions.

The prototype of the Demon King's Hand is a formidable enemy that could be listed in the Dragon Clan's textbooks.

Each prototype is comparable to a ninth-ring legendary unit in terms of combat power. Considering its almost unbeatable physical and magical defense, as well as its powerful regenerative ability to recover as long as it is not completely destroyed into dust, its true combat power far exceeds that of an ordinary ninth-ring legendary unit.

But even such a terrifying and powerful suit of armor seemed about the same as Roland's own in front of him.

They were all beings to be manipulated at will. Although Roland had taken a shortcut, and so far hadn't caused even the slightest damage to the prototype.

Judging from the results, Roland was essentially toying with this prototype.

"You've got some skills, haven't you!"

"But why is it that you, as a mage, don't even know a single skill capable of causing mass destruction?"

"You should at least know how to cast a Fireball spell, right?"

Roland flicked the cat's head with his finger: "Can't I do it?"

"Who said mages can only stand still and cast spells?"

"Principal Hern said that melee combat for mages is a tradition that cannot be abandoned!"

"Can't I specialize in body enhancement techniques?"

Roland had just finished disciplining the cat when he received a teleportation spell.

"Iluvia? Contacting me at this time?"

"Could it be that reinforcements have arrived?"

With that thought in mind, Roland connected to the communication.

Soon, a scene appeared before Roland.

Iluvia appeared on the screen looking noticeably more haggard, but also very excited.

"Roland, Roland, can you hear me?"

"I can hear you. You haven't been having an easy time lately; you even have dark circles under your eyes."

"It's not Father Emperor yet... Never mind, let's talk business. Where are you now?"

"Now?"

Roland looked around, then shrugged helplessly: "I don't know, but it should be near the magic train network connecting Blackthorn Territory to the capital."

"What are you doing?"

"Ah, help Ms. Flam delay that incoming prototype machine."

As Roland spoke, he turned the projection of the communication magic around: "Look, that's the one kneeling on the ground."

"Um!?!?"

Salah III's large face suddenly squeezed out Iluvia's face, and he looked at the image Roland was showing with a look of horror.

Then he witnessed Roland casting a spell, and the entire process of the prototype squatting and standing up in place.

"Roland... what did you do to him?"

"I didn't do anything, I just malfunctioned its magic circuit." Roland explained the situation as simply as possible: "After all, it's just a machine. Just destroy the energy circuit and make it stop working."

"So, even if I had such means, my magic power is limited, and I don't know when the support will arrive."

Iluvia then pushed Salah III aside and said, "We'll be there soon. I was just asking for your coordinates!"

"Are you planning to send reinforcements? Does the Empire have this kind of technology, capable of long-distance teleportation without the aid of a teleportation array?"

"Oh, of course not!" Iluvia waved her hand, then her face lit up with excitement. "Just remember to protect yourself when the time comes. Now tell me the coordinates, which are a little more accurate."

"Okay... about the coordinates..."

Roland began to explain to Iluvia their approximate location.

After all, he had only used Flash about three times with the prototype and Cellina. Based on the maximum distance and direction of Flash, Roland could still give a rough location.

Iluvia, who had obtained Roland's coordinates, said, "Alright, the rescue will be here soon. Now, Roland, run! Just make sure that prototype can't move!"

"it is good."

Without asking too many questions, the trust between the two led Roland to decisively choose to run away after ending the call.

Of course, before running away, Roland gave the prototype a spell countermeasure modification as it was about to get up.

Meanwhile, Cellina, who was being carried away by Roland using Flash to escape at lightning speed, asked, "What does that princess intend to do?"

"I don't know. But since she told us to run, it's safer to run."

Nash also asked, "You actually have other women outside! You womanizer!"

"I meant it all!" Roland retorted confidently. After leading the man and the cat to a high point on the mountainside, Roland began to look back at the spot where the cat had left.

He was also curious about what Iluvia meant by "reinforcements".

The next moment, the place where Roland had been standing was annihilated without warning.

Yes, annihilation.

Everything on that land has disappeared; the only thing that can be sensed is an extremely terrifying spatial disturbance!

The disturbance was so great that even Roland's Flash cost increased significantly!
Just then, Iluvia's communicator rang again: "Did you see my attack? How was it?"

Roland swallowed silently: "I saw it, the effect is remarkable."

"Also... next time we launch this kind of attack, we shouldn't use it if we don't have accurate coordinates."

"It's easy to accidentally hurt teammates, really."

As he spoke, Roland demonstrated the effects of his attack to Iluvia.

Soon, Iluvia fell silent on the other end of the communication spell.

Only Salah III remembered the important matter at this moment, reminding him, "Roland, go check on the condition of the prototype."

"Let's see if it's been completely destroyed."

Roland nodded.

But he already knew the answer.

After all... the system's task was not shown as complete.
