Emiya's face darkened as she watched the Platinum race against the waves on its side high in the sky. She took a deep breath and said, "Now, it's the final stage! All airships will return immediately after completing the rescue!"
Every plan still has an inevitable flaw.
Their previous preparations must be able to repel the wild spirits.
However, whether or not this can be done does not depend on them.
-----------------
"...Mustafa." An elder from Haligad, one of the unlucky guys who had just lost his airship, leaned against the side of the ship tremblingly, looking at Tachi Al Mustafa with a complicated expression.
Naturally, the elders of Haliqad generally followed the former Zlaqi al-Mustafa, but this following was far less resolute, so when Zlaqi finally defected, they all chose to stay in Haliqad.
Now they are in crisis again, and the one who saved them was another Mustafa group in the capital. It can only be said that fate is really wonderful.
"Thanks are unnecessary," said Taqi Al-Mustafa.
Now, everyone can realize that after this war, the situation in Halrua will inevitably be turned upside down.
Of course, Tachi wanted to gain influence in Haligard at this point in time, but unfortunately he did not really save the elder himself, he only rescued the surviving crew members and their bodies.
This favor is not enough to win support - but it can win enough impression points.
At least he should make up for the sin of standing against the goddess for a time.
Looking back now, the one who seems to be the least vindictive among Emiya’s group is the stern-faced captain Emiya.
So, he has to seize every opportunity.
Obviously, a team that can travel with the Seraphic Servant will appreciate people who cherish life more.
Tachi said calmly, putting all the intrigues behind him.
In addition, the most crucial thing is how we perform in the upcoming decisive battle.
He said, "Zelrich, just as we were rescuing you, Elder Emya had already issued a call for us to withdraw from the battlefield and return to the vicinity of the Platinum."
Zelrich, who had just escaped a life-threatening situation, reacted a little slowly, but immediately became serious and looked towards the side of the ship.
There, the wake of Frustana roared past beneath the boat—the very wake that had nearly wrecked him less than a minute before.
Tachi continued, "Just in case—the people of Haligad probably haven't forgotten how to cast the Ring, right?"
Zelrich was silent for a moment, then couldn't help but smile: "Sure enough, the Halayah people also used it?"
-----------------
The whole process of the Ring Method can be called the Magic of the Ring.
An ancient art found only in the most prosperous magical kingdom in Faerun.
The high magic of the elves was once able to move mountains and fill the sea, cut off continents, modify the memories of mortals all over the world, and open the door to the kingdom of the gods - such great power is almost unattainable by human magical civilization.
The highest achievement of human magic was probably Karthus's folly, attempting to steal the power of the Demonic Weave with a single spell.
However, even the high magic of the elves could not actually accomplish such a feat by a single person. According to records, such large-scale magic often required a terrifying number of high elven wizards to self-destruct as the price of casting the spell.
Ultimately, the power of one person has its limits - if you want to accomplish something more amazing, you must concentrate the power of many people on one person.
This skill exists.
It is called Ring Magic, and its effect is very simple: it concentrates the magic power of multiple mages into the host. This allows the host to release more spells. This magic effect lasts for one day.
However, this magic's scope of application was limited—the Halruans, after all, held a much higher moral compass than the Cyrans, and the elders weren't so shameless as to routinely drain the students' magic. Halruans rarely traveled far, so threats to the Halruan elders were even rarer.
Of course, there's a more crucial point: the stronger the devotee of Ring Magic, the more benefits the host will receive. However, powerful devotees are often no longer students, but other elders. They have no reason to give away their magic power and let themselves be slaughtered within a day.
And today is the only exception.
In preparation for today's decisive battle, the elders of Halrua specially set aside time and came up with a solution.
Use simulacra.
Each elder who came to the meeting performed ring magic multiple times, with the sole purpose of increasing their power to the limit.
The biggest problem with Ring Magic is the source of its devotees. They are willing to sacrifice their reputation for the sake of their impression in front of Metatron.
The devotees each host receives are simulacra of the other elders.
In other words, the devotees each elder receives are simulacra of other elders, and in a sense, the devotees are often stronger than the host himself.
Nayef glanced at the box in his hand and took a deep breath.
And all this, just to deliver the greatest blow in Halrua's history.
Airships were rushing back to the Platinum from all directions.
The once glorious fleet was now in a state of disarray—nearly one-fifth of the original fleet had been lost, and many of the rescued crew members had been forced to stay on other airships. Even those airships that were still able to fly had suffered heavy damage, their engines compromised.
This was only less than ten minutes of fighting with Frustana.
At this moment, Frustana finally stopped her attack because the Water Spirit could no longer bear Metatron's harassment.
The rain of arrows from the Seraphim's servants whistled down from the Water Spirit's head like a forest. Even the Water Spirit didn't want to let Metatron go unchecked, so it slightly relaxed its control over the Torilian, giving the airship a chance to dodge.
Emiya's voice echoed from the crystal ball: "Right now, we're about seventy kilometers away from Florustana. If she hadn't absorbed all the moisture, if we weren't so high in the sky, if Florustana hadn't transformed into a gigantic monster, we wouldn't even be able to see her right now."
"At the speed of a Type 1 airship, it will take nearly ten minutes to bring the Water Spirit back into range," Emiya said. "Our approach will arouse her further vigilance—with all due respect, this process will reduce the number of Halrua's Elder Council by at least half. So, as we discussed before, we will use the magic method to resolve the problem in the final stage."
His voice paused, and the elders' beards couldn't help but tremble.
The details of this plan have already been discussed, and now it is just the final mobilization.
At this moment, the mysterious silver-haired girl spoke, "I've read Halrua's history. The last time this nation used Ring Magic on a large scale was nearly a thousand years ago. At that time, the Mage King, Macontyr, gathered the power of his students and destroyed the enemy who dared to invade Halrua with a single blow, but he disappeared. Now, Halrua has come out in full force, and the enemy you will face is one that many of the newly born gods have never seen before."
Silver thought for a moment, raised his fist, and waved, "—Keep going! The dignity and future of Halruaa, Faerun, Toril, and even the arcane and magic should be revealed in this battle!"
It was quite strange. Yin was naturally not proficient in any kind of public speaking skills. Even so, looking at her youthful appearance, which could barely be described as childish, and looked like the elders' granddaughter for countless generations, the magic power in their bodies really began to boil slightly.
"In this battle, time is of the essence. It determines the success or failure of this battle, and everyone's safety." Emiya took a deep breath. "Then, everyone, take your positions and begin!"
All the airships have now been arranged into a wonderful array, and are parked steadily in mid-air without moving.
The spaces that should have been occupied by the damaged airships were left vacant.
This array had already been carefully designed.
Everything is for the next decisive blow.
All the Nine Ring Mages began to chant in unison.
“—Time stops!”
The same spell was released nearly a hundred times in succession at the same time.
When Nayef opened his eyes again, everything had stopped.
Even, including the water spirit dancing in the distance.
Among the wizard's arcane spells, there are countless extremely powerful spells, but Naif's two favorite spells are time stop and gate to another world.
It represents a brand new world.
Teleportation, floating in the air, the target is the sky 70 kilometers away horizontally,
However, when Nayef arrived at the location of the designated attack array, he couldn't help but feel discouraged.
He saw that in the empty sky, another old wizard had already appeared in the array. An extremely eye-catching force field frenzy had already erupted in the direction of his fingertips on Frustana's head. However, the moment of the explosion was frozen in time, and Frustana didn't even have time to show fear.
The old wizard was naturally Nayef’s old rival, Tachi Al Mustafa.
In the end, Tachi finished the recitation and completed his work before him.
Nayef sighed and took out a severed finger.
That had been his own finger.
Arcane spellcasting consumables vary widely, but generally speaking, higher-level spells don't necessarily cost more. Nor do higher-level spells necessarily consume more.
However, McContyr's final blow, this great nine-ring spell is in a sense the spell that the bards in the tavern love the most.
Its effect is incredibly simple - drain all the magic power from the caster's body, use it as a fuse to detonate the magic power in the world in one go, bringing destruction to the enemy.
In the long history of the arcane, there is no spell more brutal than this. Even Fireball is more elegant than this.
In a sense, it is pure enough.
This magical shock, similar to that generated when breaking a wizard's staff, can even directly penetrate the magic resistance that various creatures are most proud of.
Therefore, after completing the preparation, even the method of release is quite similar.
His spell material is a finger bone of a nine-ring wizard, which must be worn on a platinum ring and placed in diamond dust worth 5000 gold coins to complete the ceremony for further processing.
But that's all preparation.
At this moment, there is only one thing Nayef needs to do.
He saw that Tachi was aiming at Frustana's right eye, so he would aim at the left eye of the water spirit.
Then Nayef broke the finger bone.
In an instant, all the magic power in his body gushed out like a water pump, rushing through his body - he felt as if all the blood vessels in his body were breaking at the same time.
At this moment, the rioting magic power seemed to be appeased by something, and the damage it caused to him was suppressed to the minimum range.
Even so, he could only finish casting the spell, and then simply tilted his neck back.
He passed out from the recoil of the spell, and the statue around his waist broke.
Chain triggering technique, the target is his own airship.
Time began to flow again.
Then, stop again.
This was repeated hundreds of times.
Until finally, Theodore, the most famous prophet of Halygad, completed the spell and came to Frustana's side.
He looked at the members of the Presbyterian Church who were like stars in the sky, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
“…Eighty…One hundred…”
"Why, I'm the slowest one in chanting the spell?!"
The Day Sixty-Two Wild Spirits Fell
The battle that the Fritia Alliance had originally expected was that Dragon King Kearney would lead them to defeat the Wild Spirits and overthrow the Holy Elemental Church - if Dragon King Kearney had no chance of winning, why would he appear here?
His attitude and his behavior all prove that this must be his intention.
Even Kearney originally thought that he had a good chance of defeating the wild spirit.
He was able to fight his way through the siege in the era when the Holy Church of Elements had to worship nearly twenty wild spirits. Now, facing a weak wild spirit Stavrid, how could he lose?
Even if we take a step back, there is no way he will be at a disadvantage.
It is precisely because of this that he came here after realizing the specialness of the Thunder Flower.
But after actually fighting, he realized that everything was completely beyond his expectations.
Why is Stafford so strong?
Kearney had fought against wild spirits before. Back then, the wild spirits that led the Holy Elemental Church were powerful enough to have battled the gods. Kearney couldn't defeat any of them.
He was indeed very strong - so strong that he was able to escape from the hands of the Wild Spirit.
That’s it for now.
In the previous war, he had fought with several wild spirits, and he was very sure that the power of the wild spirits was declining with each generation.
The former Wild Spirit was born from the elements and chaos, but now it is trapped on Abel. It can be said to be a fish out of water, and its power will only weaken day by day.
Stafford and Frustana are the two most immature among all the wild spirits.
Even though these two wild spirits are still stronger than Kearney, they can only be in a stalemate with the Dragon King.
However, as soon as the two sides exchanged the first blow, Kearney realized that something was wrong.
The form of the wild spirit's power was completely different from what he expected.
It's not just the strength itself, but the potential of all elements is being developed to the extreme.
Stavrid's true form was an endless thundercloud, which was not known for its agility. However, once the battle began, the thunderstorm in the sky seemed to have accelerated time, rushing across the sky at a speed that Kearney could not even reach.
Kearney's breath wasn't originally that afraid of the Air Desolate Spirit - his force field breath could gather the movement of all surrounding matter and pull them towards the center, and all of this was achieved by the powerful tearing of the force field.
