77 – Revenge (9)

“… ?”

The noise increased suddenly.

Not much time had passed since the sun rose. In other words, it hasn’t been that long since the battle started.

Nevertheless, the presence of so many troops in the garrison meant that something was wrong on the battlefield.

grasp-

I immediately got up from my seat and went out of the tent.

“what… ”

It was chaos outside.

The troops who had gone out peacefully in the morning were being brought in as wounded in large numbers.

The commanders were busy shouting as they redeployed the troops they had sent to other battlefields because they had free time in the recent battle.

It meant that something unusual had occurred on the battlefield where Helia’s main force and the Empire’s main force faced each other, that is, where Yuuna was located.

“What is going on! Why are there suddenly injuries… “

“The King of Helia, that crazy wizard is back! I was told that I wouldn’t be able to use magic anymore… “Thanks to you, everyone is dying!”

“… yes?”

He grabs a soldier who was running around frantically and asks him.

The words he uttered were words I never dared imagine.

Yuna started using magic again. He said that and ran frantically with supplies.

“Magic… “You used it?”

It was ridiculous. If I did that, not only would I be unable to use magic for the rest of my life, but I could also become crippled or lose my life.

It was an act no different from suicide. The medicine I gave her was definitely effective.

It was also something completely unexpected.

From what I’ve seen of Yuuna, her affection for Helia was not that deep.

The fact that she risked her life to lead the war to victory was, frankly, incomprehensible to me based on my previous experience.

“this… ”

I quickly put on my armor and got on the horse.

It was not simply a matter of who would win the war or not.

The Empire believed that I would prevent Yuna from using magic, so they started this bold war.

If the empire was defeated, I would have ignored the empire’s and the first princess’s expectations, and if I made a mistake, I could have been misunderstood as if I had intentionally created this situation.

Yuna’s magic is much more powerful than expected.

The Empire may have started the war with the expectation that it could win to some extent, but if Yuna can continue to use magic, there is no telling what the outcome will be.

It was possible for the empire to be defeated in an instant.

If I did that, I could have been suspected or reprimanded.

It meant that everything was in vain.

“Yuuna… how… “

First I had to find out what was going on.

I rode toward the battlefield.

*

“Lord Ben!”

“What happened! Yuna uses magic again… !”

I quickly arrived at the battlefield and immediately found the second prince, Makan.

He also seemed to be out of his wits due to the sudden incident.

Commanders, including him, were busy trying to control the damage.

“Suddenly her magic started to take off. Although basic preparations were in place, initial damage was heavy because many troops were diverted to the outskirts. We would like to ask you something. “Wouldn’t that mean you couldn’t use magic anymore?”

“Of course it is. I did, but… ”

The good news is that the situation is starting to settle down a little bit.

Reinforcements hastily requested from other battlefields began to arrive, and the rapidly losing battle was regaining its balance a little.

“… Even if I were to use magic again, it wouldn’t last long. “Right now, Yuuna is using magic by reducing her own life force.”

“Certainly, as time passes, the number of magic attacks increases exponentially… “It will definitely have to be that way.”

Coogung-

As soon as Makan finished speaking, a huge tremor was felt on the ground.

Even though the command center was quite far away from the center of the battlefield, the shaking was felt significantly.

“what… !”

Macan took the lead and went outside, and I followed behind.

“this… ”

The damage was so massive that it was visible to the naked eye.

An explosion so massive that it felt like a meteorite had struck.

Even though they must have installed a magic-blocking field, even that had no effect.

It would probably be no exaggeration to say that half of the troops on the battlefield were blown away by the attack just now.

“It is a power that cannot be defended against! “The hastily deployed magic-disruption field is of no use!”

“Ugh… You shouldn’t wait for the other side to get tired first. “Has the target’s location been determined?”

“We are trying… “The enemy’s resistance is so fierce that it is impossible to explore the ridge!”

“damn… ! If I get attacked like this a few more times… ”

The situation was going against the Empire.

There was a possibility that Yuna would fall first, but with the attack just now, it was difficult to expect that.

From noble mtl dot com

If they were hit with that kind of magic a few more times, the imperial army would suffer irreparable damage.

It was a situation where a decision had to be made.

Either figure out Yuna’s location somehow and keep her in check. Then, we were able to reduce the damage caused by Yuna’s magic and establish a different strategy.

Or retreat for now. However, if they retreated incorrectly and the front line was pushed to the empire’s camp, the empire’s main base could also fall under Yuuna’s magic.

As of now, the front line is tilted towards the Allied Forces, so Yuna cannot attack the Empire’s main base in the rear, but there is no telling what will happen if the Allied Forces advance.

If Yuna retreats while she still has the power to use magic and is chased down, the empire’s main camp will be at an end.

“… I will go. Please hold on just a little longer. “It will still take time until the next spell comes.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“I will go into the enemy camp myself and find out Yuna’s location. Please give me a signal. If I find Yuuna, I will fire a signal at that location. “Concentrate your firepower there and bombard it.”

“that is… what. Are you saying it’s possible to penetrate those enemy forces in the first place? If you stay there… ”

“it’s possible. I will do it. They will run away immediately after shooting the flare. “There is no other way now.”

“That’s for sure, but…” ”

Since we already knew all of the Allied forces’ tactics, we were able to think of ways to squeeze in. Of course, it’s not easy.

There was no other way than this. If we can’t stop Yuna like this, everything will go to waste.

Then there was no reason to live. It meant that it was a situation worth risking one’s life for, or rather one that one had to risk one’s life for.

“Be prepared to focus your firepower at any time. “I will go.”

I snatched the signal flare from the soldier’s hand and climbed on my horse.

The Macan no longer held me. He probably knows that there is no other way.

And for me, there was nothing left but this.

***

Yuuna endured the tearing pain and used magic again.

It was the most powerful magic ever used.

There would definitely be great damage, and a few more spells like this could have resulted in a complete victory.

“Keuuu… Wow… !”

However, Yuna’s physical condition was also getting worse every time she used magic.

Although he was barely able to maintain the path of mana circulating through his body and prevent the circuit from collapsing, he would soon reach his limit.

However, Yuna prepared one more magic. I really thought I could die, but without Ben, it would have been the same result.

-Quaaa!

Terrible screams are heard from the battlefield. Everyone was dying.

And he himself was dying and killing himself.

Meanwhile, he was looking at the battlefield with his eyes, looking for Ben.

Without him, all of this was meaningless. We had to quickly break through those imperial forces and find him. somehow.

“Ugh… !”

I prepared the magic once more, but this time it wasn’t really easy.

The pain did not go away and only continued to grow. Just enduring that pain was overwhelming.

A lot of time has passed since the last spell was used. Maybe this magic would be the last.

And he didn’t know whether he would survive at the end of this spell or not.

However, Yuuna circulated mana again. Because I would rather die.

After sending Ben away like that, I couldn’t possibly live like before.

I boiled up my last mana, determined to die.

Doo doo doo doo doo-

You can hear the sound of horse hooves getting closer to you.

It was incredible speed. And there was one.

Perhaps it was a friendly soldier, or a scout sent by the enemy to find his location.

It didn’t matter what happened.

Making this magic successful. Because that would be the end of everything.

“… Yuna. it’s crazy?”

“uh… ?”

The mana that had been gathering in huge amounts stopped momentarily.

And I barely manage to catch my blurry vision and open my eyes. Then I turn my head in the direction of the familiar voice.

“Ben… ?”

It was Ben.

His entire body was covered in blood, as if he had penetrated the friendly camp and killed numerous knights.

It wasn’t like a fantasy. He was clearly walking towards him.

“I really feel like I’m going to die. “I can’t believe I used magic until it got to that point.”

“Ben… Sorry… Do not leave. First of all, first of all… Please don’t leave… please… ”

I raise my trembling hand and try to grab his arm.

It felt like my whole body was being crushed, but it was better than losing Beryl right now.

The circuits that were collapsing due to lack of concentration accelerated their collapse again, but I didn’t care about that either.

grasp-

“… Do not touch.”

But Ben strongly pushed away her weak touch.

Yuuna collapsed on the floor and looked up at him with despairing eyes.

“Ahh… ah… please… Ben… Ben please don’t… I was wrong… ”

pop-

Ben fired the signal flare he was carrying in his arms.

And he looked down at her with emotionless eyes.

“… It’s a shame. I should have killed him with my own hands. “I never thought it would get ruined like that.”

“Huh, huh… Ben… Ben… … “

Soon the imperial bombardment would come here.

Ben fell to the floor and looked for a moment at Yuna, who was now unable to see properly and was struggling with her arms as she searched for him.

It was something I had longed for, but strangely, it didn’t feel pleasant.

An indescribable, complicated feeling of disgust and a desire to tear out one’s hair.

That unpleasant feeling was very unpleasant to Ben.

Doo doo doo-

This time, the sound of horses’ hooves was heard from the main camp on the Helia side.

The owner of that sound, which quickly got closer, was a familiar silver-haired lady.

“Ben… ?”

Syria, who had been watching Yuna from afar, rushed over when he appeared.

“It’s really Ben…” ?”

She slowly walks towards him in disbelief.

Yuna, who was floundering beneath her feet, didn’t even care.

Swish-

But Ben turned around. I turned around and got on my horse.

I heard Syria’s lament, but I didn’t pay any attention to it.

In the first place, we had to leave because artillery fire was going to come soon.

“… “You damn b*tches.”

Without even paying any more attention to them,

Ben ran, leaving behind the huge magic bullets flying from the Empire.
