I was accidentally injured by God and I just want to be an ordinary person

As if they had set an ambush, a row of Kumis armed with bows and arrows rushed out from the stairs on both sides of the hall. Without any room for negotiation, they shot arrows at everyone with the sound of breaking through the air.

“—Ice Wall.”

"Magic Shield."

Iris and Ella used defensive magic to block everyone in front of them. At the same time, Ella and the other six ran out of the hall through the three-meter-high iron gate.

"Don't let any of them go! Chase them!"

"Lotte-chan."

"I see!"

Switching Hela to physical mode, Lotte, the last of the group, turned around and aimed Hela, loaded with "Chlo's Tears," directly above the door frame of the main hall.

Pull the trigger without hesitation.

Sounds like shattering glass and exploding bricks suddenly filled the castle. The entire ceiling collapsed, blocking the connection between the hall and the outer corridor along with the smoke and dust that obscured the vision. The obvious tremor even gave people the illusion that the castle was about to collapse. If Ella had not superimposed more than ten layers of magic shields behind her before leaving, the impact of the explosion would have affected even her own side. There is no doubt that the Kumi in the hall had been turned into pieces. The magic consumables with power equivalent to that of fifth-level magic had exerted their power.

Ella ran along the black brick corridor, looking back and checking the terrain.

"Go right!"

The team immediately ran to the right, and after running for less than five minutes, the view in front of them suddenly opened up.

The dark and narrow corridor was replaced by the hazy sky. There was no other obstruction on the left and right except the towers. This was the corridor connecting the castle and the city wall, and it was also the place most vulnerable to ambush.

Before they came, the soldiers in the two towers on the left and right were dealt with by Shengan, but now it seemed that both sides had hidden their soldiers again and were waiting for their side to come over.

"On Lotte's left, Iris and Mitis's right."

"OK."

Lotte responded by firing Chlo's Tears at the tower on the left, while Iris and Mitis each bombarded it with third-level magic and Gungnir. Perhaps out of consideration for restraint, Lotte and Iris only blew off the top of the tower instead of breaking it in half - that would have been very troublesome to rebuild afterwards.

Without pausing, the group continued to gallop. What happened at the castle might have been heard by Oz at the east gate. With Oz's devotion to the saint, especially since the demon army had already resisted the coalition forces for Kumheim, everyone would definitely believe it even if they said Oz would come soon.

If it was just Oz holding the Seal of Sloth, with all the members of the Branch of Disaster already present and Mitis added, everyone would not feel that they could not contend with him. However, if there were other Kumi to help, the situation would take a turn for the worse.

No matter how powerful the Seal of Sloth is, Oz, the user, is only level 43, and the power he can borrow is limited. At best, it is equivalent to strength close to surpassing the heroic realm, just like Lotte who possesses Hela. Although Hela is a product standing at the top of magical technology, due to Lotte's own insufficient level, it seems that she is even inferior to the Pestle of Heavenly Punishment and the Arrow of Fire used by Ella, but in fact, Hela's attack performance is at least twice that of the two.

Otherwise, Lotte wouldn't have become the most powerful character in the Branch of Disaster with just her level 30 strength. Even Iris is inferior to Lotte in terms of attack power. She usually looks weaker than Iris, but that's because Hela alone can't cope with all environments. If there were a "magic fairy" who could assist in calibrating accuracy and aim at the target independently, Hela would become the most conspicuous existence.

After defeating the last ambush tower, the six people came to the city gate unhindered. Perhaps the people on the tower were causing trouble, and the city gate that was originally open a crack is now closed.

Angelica, who had planted one end of her sickle on the ground, waved her hand.

"I'll go pull the hinges."

"etc!"

Before Angeline took a step forward, Ella reached out to stop her, her brows furrowed tightly together, her expression so gloomy that it looked as if water was about to drip out.

Chapter 75: Gravity Field and Wind Protection

Before Angeline took a step forward, Ella reached out to stop her, her brows furrowed tightly together, her expression so gloomy that it looked as if water was about to drip out.

Mitis, who sensed something was wrong, stepped forward and asked.

"What's wrong? You look terrible."

Ella swallowed her saliva, spread her arms, and led everyone back step by step.

"...Oz... is outside."

"What?"

In order to facilitate movement in the castle, Ella had adjusted the terrain search to a size that was just enough to observe the direction of the passage. The display range was limited, so she failed to notice Oz who was waiting for her group not far outside the city gate.

"Only Oz?"

Iris frowned and asked, her hand holding the staff tighter. She didn't think Oz would come alone.

The facts were just as she thought.

"...In addition to Oz, there are two thousand Kumi."

"Has Oz gone mad? Taking away most of the soldiers to reinforce the castle when there's still a demon army threatening outside?"

But the fact is the fact. Even though Iris found it unbelievable, it had already happened. Iris could only smack her lips, lower her head and start thinking about countermeasures.

"Is Oz gambling that the demons won't attack the capital, or is he relying on Angelina to keep Kiru from actually attacking? No, now isn't the time to think about that. Ella-chan, can you see the back of the castle? If you can't exit through the main gate, use flight magic to leave in the opposite direction."

"There are also Kumi soldiers guarding the west."

"How many people?"

"five hundred."

"Tsk."

With enough magic potions and Ella's "Blessing of Vitality", it is not difficult to break through the encirclement of 500 people, but the problem is how to avoid being slowed down by the soldiers. If they fail to break through the encirclement before the Kumi react, the Kumi coming from the other two sides will overwhelm them like a tide, not to mention Oz holding the Seal of Sloth.

"Can't I use a teleportation scroll?"

Angie asked with a worried look on her face.

He reached out and touched the city wall, and then his finger was bounced back by the light blue light pattern, which gave a negative answer.

"No, there's a magic circle around the city walls that blocks teleportation."

"Is there only one way left?"

With a low voice, Iris took out several teleportation scrolls from the storage bracelet and handed them to Ella and the other four.

"Hurry and head in the opposite direction of the city gate. We must rush out of the castle before the Kumi and the others react. As soon as we leave the range of the barrier, tear open the teleportation scroll and set the coordinates to the hotel."

"Well, the barrier has a range of one kilometer. Once you get out of this range, you can use the teleportation scroll."

Ella, who got the information from the terrain search, added that although she had originally planned to use the state of Entarosphiel to send everyone out, it now seems that there is no need for this.

[Besides, using it would make Angeline misunderstand. I've only seen Angeline cry twice...]

One was when he demonstrated his tea-making skills to other elves at the ball at the Holy Academy and was highly praised by the elves. The other time was a few days ago when he guessed that his life span would be consumed in the Entarosferr state.

"Well then, let's get started now."

"That's not necessary."

Quack, quack, quack.

Just as everyone was about to turn around, Oz, who was two meters tall and wearing a crown, appeared before everyone as the city gate opened.

"Prepare for battle! 'Fly'."

Without any room for negotiation, Iris yelled for everyone to use "Fly" together, and Mitis carried Ella, who was unable to fly.

Oz let out a slow breath, as if he hadn't seen what was happening.

"I don't know how you secretly took the Saint away last time, but if we arrest you, we'll find out everything. Even if we spare you the death penalty for the Saint's sake, you should be severely punished for destroying the royal castle."

"Don't spread out, stay close to me."

Iris, who had already flown to the same height as the castle, shouted to Mitis and the others, and as if in response to Iris's voice, Oz, who was unable to fly, made a grabbing motion towards the sky.

"Making the same mistake twice—"Gravity Field"

"Hmph, did you think I wasn't prepared?"

Iris snorted coldly, and at the same time as Oz pulled the gem down through the air, she crushed the blue gem in her hand.

"Group Floating Technique", "Wind Protection".

A pale blue light immediately enveloped the six people, and the "gravity field" only caused them to lower a distance slightly.

Few Kumi possess the ability to fly, not even Oz. Therefore, flying magic poses the greatest threat to Kumi. After Iris suffered a loss at the hands of Oz's "gravity field" a few days ago, she devised a magical gadget the next day to counter it.

'Mass Floating Technique' can reduce the effects of gravity, while 'Wind Protection' can enhance the perception of wind elements and increase the strength of 'Flight' magic. When the two are multiplied together, the influence of 'Gravity Field' becomes so weak that it can be ignored.

Of course, this approach has drawbacks that cannot be ignored.

That means huge consumption.

Taking the gems with the "Wind Protection" as an example, the one that Iris just crushed is worth twenty gold coins. Even a Crimson Gold-level adventurer would only be willing to crush it when they are in dire straits and their lives are in danger.

However, for Iris, this was not even a hair lost. The only flaw was compensated by her wealth that was as rich as a country. In order to prepare for the plan that she had been planning since she was a child, Iris accumulated wealth that was unimaginable for ordinary people. This was a secret known only to her.

Oz raised his brows slightly, but did not show any anger. Instead, he stretched out his hand and made a pulling-down motion again.

"Have you prepared a countermeasure... 'Gravity Field: Second Level'?"

"Noisy."

Without hesitation, she crushed not one but a handful at a time. Iris looked at Oz with contempt, and the two of them distanced themselves from each other again.

"Intermediate Level: Group Floating Technique", "Intermediate Level: Wind Protection"

If the gem she crushed the first time was a treasure even Crimson Gold-rank adventurers wouldn't be willing to use, then the one Iris was using now was something found only in the national treasury. Only enhanced magic of level five or higher was considered "intermediate." At this level, imprinting magic into crystal was as difficult as pouring water into oak. Furthermore, only magic casters at level 50 were qualified to do so, further increasing its rarity.

No longer as calm as before, Oz frowned heavily.

Although it could sense that the "gravity field" had higher levels above the second level, that was beyond its control. In other words, if it didn't use other methods, Ella and her group would have escaped from under its nose. In fact, they had already begun moving in the opposite direction of the city gate.

"Where's the Silence Field? Make them stop!"

"Your Majesty, you can't use magic in this case, and it consumes—"

"Activate now!"

"yes!"

The harsh rebuke made the nearby Mountain Copper Kumi pause, his expression became serious in an instant, and he disappeared from the spot at an extremely fast speed.

After about thirty seconds, a purple magic circle appeared on the ground with the entire castle as the center, and then slowly rotated in a counterclockwise direction.

'Silent Zone'

Chapter 76 Breakthrough

"Tsk, is it the 'Silence Area'?"

Looking down from above at the purple magic circle spinning inside the castle, Iris curled her lips. Magic could not be used under the "Silence Field". It would not be long before they and their group would fall to the ground. At their current height - about fifty meters, they would definitely be smashed to pieces.

Iris looked back at Oz and the other Kumi soldiers who were chasing after her.

"Go down first. Can Lotte-chan shoot through the wall on the other side?"

"Can."

After receiving a positive answer, Iris immediately breathed a sigh of relief. When she was unable to use magic, Lotte, as a magician, could exert her abilities to the fullest.

Loading the fifth-level Kro's Tear—the last crystal of fifth-level quality—into Hela's physical mode magazine, Lotte began aiming at the city wall while descending.

Although according to past experience, Lotte could not accurately shoot at distant targets while controlling her own flight, if she used buildings as units, she only needed to aim roughly.

He skillfully injected magic power into the magic mark, and Hela, who was so dark that it seemed to be able to swallow everything, suddenly lit up with a blue light. Then, a slight metallic friction sound came from inside the gun body.

boom.

The shell casing fell to the ground, and about a second later, a roar like a collapse was heard from the opposite city wall. A few seconds before it hit the ground, a huge gap of at least five meters could be seen under the city wall.

Successful.

"Run as fast as you can through the gap, don't fight!"

Because Oz had to go around the castle, it would take at least several minutes for him to arrive, and a few minutes was enough for him and his group to run out of the range of the "Silent Field".

Like a fully wound machine, everyone ran towards the gap as fast as possible, and just as expected, it took less than a minute.

But the smooth process ended here. Hearing the roar of the city wall, all the Kumi waiting outside the wall rushed to the gap.

"Iris, there's an ambush ahead."

"Angeline-chan!"

"Leave it to me."

After receiving Iris's command, Angelica instantly turned into a blue and white shadow and disappeared at the front of the team.

Is it really okay without using enhancement magic?
