"Oops!"
"Everyone, get out of the way—"
A dark crimson glow suddenly exploded, and the next moment, water was released at a speed undetectable to the naked eye. From the massive divine beast's mouth, an incredibly fine stream of water erupted, like a laser beam formed from water. The powerfully compressed water stream swept horizontally, aiming at Meredith's height.
Oscar unfolded the "Holy Death" with the black umbrella. With a snap, a sound like glass breaking was heard, and Oscar's hand holding the black umbrella was hit hard.
"Ugh—a single strike can break the partial deployment of the Holy Severance!?"
If the black umbrella hadn't been made of the world's hardest Azantium ore, Oscar might have been split in two. Seeing the three-pronged spire, which could be said to be the symbol of Andica, tilted and tilted, Oscar's cheek muscles twitched.
"How is that possible... the armor feels like paper..."
The Knights also suffered heavy casualties. In the previous attack, 30% of the knights were cut in half.
"Oh...everyone...take shelter..."
"Miledi!"
Meredith managed to speak. Oscar knew Meredith wanted him to lead the people of Antika to refuge. Meredith had already reached his limit, but in this situation...
The beast launched a second attack, Oscar poured in more magic power and launched "Holy Death" again.
"Move the airship back! Deploy multiple barriers!"
Ross barked out his orders. True to their reputation as a knightly order, the Knights quickly erected double and triple layers of defense, taking a defensive stance.
Then, the beast fired the same water jet again, and this time it was continuous and uninterrupted, as if it would continue until death, and the laser stream swept across the void.
“Grr, if this continues…”
Oscar gritted his teeth and tried his best to protect Meredith. The light in Meredith's eyes finally began to fade. She was about to lose consciousness due to the depletion of her magic power!
"Xiao Mi!"
When the younger sister is in danger, the elder sister comes to rescue her. The heavy rain gathers into a stream, and Mei'er comes along.
"Mei, Er..."
"Don't talk! Keep up the magic—"Keyong"!"
The outer surface of the light black sphere that covers Meredith is also covered with a layer of morning glow magic.
That's magic that regenerates the state of the previous second every second.
"This should hold up for a while."
Mel said as she hooked her arm around Meredith, pulled her out of the black sphere, and then hugged her to her chest. Meredith seemed to be already conscious and could only let Mel do what she wanted. Mel immediately used regeneration magic to help her recover.
"Yeah, Mei'er-sister! Hurry up and take everyone to shelter!"
"You don't have to worry about that!"
As if to prove her right, a voice echoed throughout Andika. It was Bahar's voice.
"Bahar Devat warns all citizens of Andica! Andica is about to sink, and time is running out! If you don't want to die, immediately run to the square in front of the palace or the nearest port! If you see any glowing oval-shaped light film nearby, jump in! Got it? Act now!"
Bahar's instructions were spread throughout the island through magic items.
At the same time, huge films of light—portals—appeared one after another in the major ports in the north.
Nitze is now moving around the island, setting up portals to the port.
His plan was to transport the residents of Antica aboard boats, then transport them and the boats above the "sea wall" to escape the island. Through the communicator, the leaders of the Devat Family outposts across the island had received instructions to guide the residents to evacuation.
The sky was obscured by dark clouds, a raging storm, thunder and lightning, and the roar of mythical beasts shook the atmosphere. A hole had opened in the sea, and the island within was gradually sinking. The towering wall of water was a symbol of despair, a scene resembling the end of the world.
However, people were resisting, people were daring to stand up and resist. Once they heard the instructions, they, who were clearly people living in the crime capital, helped each other, brought the elderly and children, and entered each house to inquire, fearing that someone would not have time to escape.
Why is this?
Because of the screams of the girl who had just flown in the sky, the ripples in the sky, and the bright light connecting heaven and earth.
Without exception and without any reason, every resident of Andika feels that someone is protecting them and wants them to survive.
The swirling black vortex still hung high in the sky, and mysterious gates of light appeared one after another. Bahar cried out desperately, all of this to save them. Someone wanted to save him, abandoned by the world, chased to the ends of the earth!
Then how could I not stand up and resist, how could I give up, how could I indulge in despair!
I want to be like the girl who shines like the sun in the storm!
This impulse drives the residents of Antika.
“Ahh…”
Seeing this scene, Meredith was filled with indescribable emotions.
But the time for indulging in sentimentality seems to be over.
“Guaaaa!”
Oscar screamed in pain and was knocked back.
“Oh!”
Meredith and Mel worked together to catch him.
It seemed he had barely managed to block the beast's spray, but the price he paid was his black umbrella being cut off and a deep scratch on Oscar's chest. If it weren't for the protective power of his coat, he might have been cut in half.
Mei'er immediately used regeneration magic.
"Thanks, Mei'er. Where's little sister Tigne?"
"She's fine now, thank you, Oscar. What's more important now is—"
Mel's gaze was fixed on the beast, which seemed to be roaring in anger because it couldn't swat the fly. Meredith and Oscar also looked at the beast, and then Meredith said:
"We have to get rid of that giant snake."
"Dealing with monsters isn't my forte, so I'll just deal with them."
Oscar repaired the black umbrella with his alchemy, then turned his attention to Ross and the Knights.
Although the number of the Knights has been further reduced due to the continuous water jets, and there are only about thirty people left now, the knights are still looking here with fighting spirit burning in their eyes.
Even in this situation, no, they think this situation is a good opportunity.
This is simply insane. To them, God's will is everything, and martyrdom is an honor.
"Miledy! Mel! Go ahead!"
"Okay! I'm counting on you, Ao!"
"Oscar, I leave it to you!"
Mireddy and Mel headed towards the divine beast, and although the knights wanted to chase them, Oscar stood in their way.
"This road is closed to traffic."
"Are you also a 'Liberator'?"
In response to Routh's question, Oscar held his head high and gave his name.
"Yes, I'm Oscar, the 'Liberator' Oscar Orcus, just an Alchemist."
Oscar stopped talking midway.
"wrong."
He denied his own words, pushed his glasses up, smiled arrogantly, and changed his words:
"I am an alchemist stronger than the strongest knight order."
"Then prove it to me."
"Of course, I'll prove it with your defeat—bring it on."
He raised his index finger and hooked it, making the same provocative gesture as Meredith.
The first attack was Rouse's "Soul Charge", an invisible penetrating shock attacking Oscar.
"Sorry, I already have a solution for this."
Oscar was hit, and although he showed a slight pain on his face, he did not lose consciousness. He used the Ten Styles of "Holy Absolute" to defend against Erim's "Holy Flame" that attacked at the same time.
After the Battle of Ship Island, Oscar asked Meredith to improve Black Coat's patience.
The moment the "Holy Flame" dissipated, Ross appeared before him. He swung his staff, intending to smash Oscar and the "Holy Flame" together.
"What!"
A burly man wearing full black armor suddenly appeared in mid-air and blocked the attack from the staff with his tower shield.
Even Laws couldn't help but feel surprised. He stepped back and dodged, avoiding the counterattack from the armored broadsword.
Portis circled behind Oscar, but another full-body armor appeared and counterattacked, sending him flying. Although he was not injured thanks to his inherent magic "Fortress", he could not hide his inner turmoil.
"Is it a golem?!"
"That's right."
On Oscar's left hand, from the black glove, which was originally a divine tool for manipulating metal threads, extended a sunlight-colored thread, connecting to the full body armor.
——Artifact Black Knight
It was a combat golem, capable of free movement, controlled directly by magic using metal wires. Its armor, made of Azantium, was infused with various magic comparable to that of the Black Umbrella.
As if to protect their master, the two black knights used the same principle as the black boots to stay in the air.
A large number of arrows seemed to penetrate the Black Knight's defense and headed towards Oscar.
"I'll fight numbers with numbers. I won't give the arrows a chance to track."
Countless "small magic swords" appeared in the air, forming a barrage to meet the arrows.
"I can see it clearly."
"Me too."
April glided closer, relying on her inherent magic, Revelation, to intuitively predict Oscar's movements and swing her rapier, but the hem of her black coat automatically protected her.
"It's meaningless even if you can see it."
The metal wires of the black gloves instantly spread out like a net. Although April took evasive action before being caught, the lightning from the black umbrella struck her where she dodged.
"Idiot! Don't be careless!"
"Captain! I'm so sorry!"
At the critical moment, Ross rushed in and used the power of his staff to offset the lightning strike.
The knights took action together. Some surrounded and approached, some attacked with their inherent magic, and some ignored Oscar and chased after Miledy and the others.
The Black Knight blocked most of the attacks, the Black Umbrella launched a fierce attack, and the metal wire prevented the enemy from approaching. The "Small Magic Sword" attacked the knights chasing Meredith, preventing them from advancing. Not only that—
"The archery guy, you're so annoying."
“Hey, wait!”
Brigade commander Leleille held her bow, trembling. Her uncharacteristic panic was due to the swords that appeared above Oscar's head. Small magic swords? No, those were all great swords, and magic swords at that.
——Artifact Great Demon Sword
The destructive power they possessed was certainly not comparable to that of the "Little Magic Sword". The blades of those swords were aimed at Lelaye and then fired at the same time.
"Dodge! Lelaye!"
Rouse warned, as even the "Little Demon Sword" possessed terrifying destructive power.
Considering that the volume is ten times larger...
"Don't even think about it!"
Portis jumped into the firing line and activated his inherent magic, "Fortress." Then, a swarm of great demonic swords struck the brigade commander's impenetrable defenses that had so far withstood all attacks.
After the impact and roar, large raindrops scattered radially, and the flames of the explosion dotted the dark clouds below with bright colors.
“Guah…”
After the flames of the explosion were blown away by the storm, Portis appeared with his eyes rolled back.
His tower shield and armor shattered, his body stained with blood. Even his defense couldn't completely stop the Great Demon Sword. I didn't know whether to admire the might of the Great Demon Sword or praise his defense for surviving the attack prepared for the apostle.
"There's still room for improvement."
With a snap, Oscar fired a sniper arrow from the tip of his black umbrella at Portis. The arrow pierced Portis's heart accurately, and Oscar, taking advantage of the situation, unleashed his lightning strike ability. Portis had no power to resist, his heart stopped, and his body collapsed to the ground.
"Notice to all personnel! Treat Oscar Orcus as an enemy on par with Meredith Lessen!"
