Chapter 425

"We have to run!" Elelris shouted like a seizure, and Daegong and Herriot finally regained their senses. Yes, run. If there was a meteor of significant size among those falling, we should worry about planetary-scale disasters. But even if it wasn't that big, it was clear that a tremendous disaster would sweep the area. Where and how should we run away? Long-distance space travel is impossible due to interference barriers, and even if it were possible, casting time would not allow it. How can we avoid hundreds of burning meteors falling from the sky that would turn the ground upside down? Can we protect our bodies from the shock wave of meteorite impact with a barrier? Herriot gritted her teeth. As if she had to do something without knowing what to do. Blue magic lines began to boil all over Herriot's body. Yes, casting magic as quickly as possible in this urgent situation would only be possible for Herriot. But how can we cope with this situation? -Woo-woo-woo-woo! Numerous runic characters, as well as the necklace hanging around Herriot's neck, were emitting fierce light. -Charruk. Not one but five power cartridges. They were all emitting fierce magic and replenishing Herriot's magic. If space travel is impossible, can we use auxiliary power cartridges? Are we trying to release the barrier and use mass teleportation to move us to the outskirts? -Woo-woo-woo-woo! I saw the biggest meteor that emitted the most light suddenly disappear among the hundreds of falling meteors. I could clearly see a circular crack in the meteor's fall orbit. Herriot opened a dimensional portal the size of a meteor in the meteor's fall path and sent it somewhere. One meteor disappeared. "Ugh...." Herriot gritted her teeth and cast a spell, sweating coldly. After the biggest meteor disappeared, hundreds of meteorites pouring down lost their light one by one and disappeared. Herriot creates a dimensional portal in the sky. Not to withstand the collision of meteors, but to send them somewhere. One by one, and soon dozens at a time, hundreds of meteorites pouring down disappeared without touching the ground. The genius magic calculated meticulously to destroy and the overwhelming magic for it. I realized that I was underestimating the greatest genius in magical history. If only we run away, everyone here will be exposed to that meteor. Someone will die, and there will be innocent people among them. Herriot tried to save everyone from disaster. Mastery of dimensional portals through research so far. Through this, Herriot had come up with the idea of not defending against attacks, but erasing them, and was putting it into practice. I, Elelris, and Daegong were watching Herriot alone erase a huge disaster in a daze. "Ugh...." But Herriot's mana is not infinite. No matter how much power cartridges they had, the number of dimensional portals they had to open exceeded hundreds, and even though they were sending the falling meteors somewhere else, there were still meteors falling beyond Herriot's calculations. The power cartridges hanging from Herriot's necklace were losing their light one by one, like batteries running out. Daegong, who understood the situation, placed his hand on Herriot's shoulder. Magicians can replenish their mana using siphon mana, just like Elelris replenished Ellen's mana in Dark Land. Daegong shares his mana with his daughter, who is doing something beyond her limits. It's not an easy task to use one's own mana, power cartridges' mana, and Daegong's mana, which is being replenished in real-time, to cast spells. But Herriot is doing it. She pierces through the dark sky with her magic and uses the replenished mana to open dimensional portals and erase the falling meteors. Even with Daegong's mana support, there was a limit due to the scale of the task at hand. Elelris, struggling to speak, asks Daegong to share his mana with Herriot. Elelris and Daegong help Herriot erase the meteors. Herriot erases dozens of meteors in an instant as the two magicians' mana is replenished. When the crack in the sky disappears and the light from the falling meteors disappears, Herriot collapses from exhaustion, and Daegong, who is also close to running out of mana, embraces her. Except for a few, none of the meteors hit the ground directly. Elelris looks at Herriot, who is now exhausted, with wide eyes, unable to understand the situation. Herriot, who was once struggling to cast fireballs at orcs, has now saved everyone from disaster. It wasn't me who saved Herriot. Herriot saved everyone in this place. Herriot made the wish that no one, neither the Empire nor my forces, would die, come true. The battle seemed to be coming to an end. From the moment the sky opened and the meteors began to fall, the battle had practically stopped. The magic, known as the magic of the gods that appeared in myths, was cast, and the Imperial Army, as well as the Council and the Black Order, all deployed large-scale defenses. Everyone felt the darkness in the overwhelming and vast magic with tension. There was no way to survive hundreds of meteors falling to the ground. However, all of those meteors disappeared due to the response of an unknown magician. And the magician who summoned a large number of meteors with the intention of killing everyone in this place. Arcritch, who had accumulated tremendous knowledge and magical power over a long period of time, used up his last remaining magical power to bring about the destruction of everything. The power of Arcritch, who cast a magic that even ordinary humans and immortals could not cast, is needless to say. However, he was thwarted by a magician who had not even turned twenty. The crack in the sky disappeared, and the light from the falling meteors disappeared. Herriot collapsed from exhaustion, and Daegong embraced her. None of the meteors hit the ground directly, and the battle seems to be coming to an end. "I don't know how Arcritch's meteors were thwarted," Sabiolan Tana said. "But it wasn't the Empire's doing. If it was, we would be risking too much by fighting against unknown entities without our full strength and losing everything to Arcritch's magic. He is a traitor to the Empire and a top priority criminal. If they retreat quietly, we won't pursue them. But as an order, we must capture Rose Dwin." Sabiolan Tana made concessions, but she couldn't understand why they were chasing Arcritch if they were likely to be part of the demon race. The old vampire in a suit and tie stood at the front with a cane, looking clean and tidy despite the fierce battle. He only stared at the fallen Arcritch. "Lukren," he said, seemingly uninterested in Sabiolan Tana. "Did you come all the way here to show off your mythical magic skills?" The old man asked why they did such a thing, even though their amazing magic was thwarted, and even if it wasn't, they would only die with them. Antirianus was struggling to understand the situation. "Antirianus..." the fallen Arcritch said in a split voice. "Do you want Akasha...?" Antirianus smiled at his words.
