Chapter 191 - INTENSIFICATION (3) (1/2)

Blade-like wings headed down.

It headed to his head.

Its force tried to smash Gaël’s head at once.

Adelia screamed.

Because it seemed to her that it was an attack that could not be blocked or avoided.

And her judgment was not wrong.

Most Royal Guard Knights would have no choice but to be hit by such an attack.

But Gaël was different.

The sword of wind he learned did not allow it.

Do not block. Do not avoid.

Let it flow.

Like the wind.

Like a breeze and not like a gale.

An instantaneous change of position and wrist movement, a skillful adjustment of the angle of his sword, and a sword move peculiar to the sword of wind that allowed his power to flow.

All of that combined saved Gaël’s life.

Saluzia’s attack hit the ground instead of splitting Gaël’s body.

But that was it. Gaël dodged the attack with all his power, and in that short moment, he lost all his strength and became defenseless.

It was a very short time, but it was enough time for Saluzia.

Saluzia’s hand moved.

It wasn’t a simple push, but a sharp attack that would cut and tear Gaël’s chest.

One stroke.

Blood splattered.

Gaël escaped death again, but a scream erupted from Adelia’s mouth.

“Gaeeeeeel!”

He was hit and fell to the ground. Gaël’s left arm was torn off and rolled over the ground.

Adelia dashed towards him.

In that situation, her reason was gone, but her combat experience gave her the correct answer.

She made use of other magic spells instead of ones that could cut or destroy the wings.

The ground shook.

arth Wall>.

The earth rapidly soared and pushed Saluzia away as Adelia pulled his right hand. Instead of attacking Saluzia, she moved the ground and pulled Gaël towards her.

Saluzia was not flustered.

She spread out her wings as she soared and swung her arms towards Gaël and Adelia. At that moment, dozens of magic spears were launched at the same time they were created.

Babababababang-!

A literal bombardment.

Gaël clenched his teeth and swung his sword.

He couldn’t properly control his body due to the shock of his arm being ripped off, so he shot a surprisingly fast and strong aura blade that he had created in a moment.

Booom!

The aura blade and magic spears collided.

It exploded, and as Adelia flung herself at Gaël, she stretched out her arms to cast a shield.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The magic spears did not only point to the two. It poured down like rain towards the wizards of the Royal Guard Magic Corps and the Royal Guards, and the front line collapsed in an instant.

This was the power of a high-ranking demonic human.

Saluzia once again spread out her four wings.

She looked down at Gaël and Adelia wriggling like worms under the shattered shield.

And she widely smiled.

She knew who the two were.

Because she already knew that they were the older sister and brother of the two children who interrupted her in everything.

‘It’s just the beginning.’

What would happen if the Lord Protector destroyed the barrier tonight?

It would be the beginning of the real plan prepared by Saluzia herself and Koros that would bring about the ruin of the Sälen Kingdom.

‘But you first.’

Then your younger siblings.

A rain of magic spears poured down at the flap of her wings. Adelia’s mana flowed back in the aftermath of the shield’s destruction, so she could not use her magic, and Gaël had to choose.

Would he escape alone, or would he save Adelia?

He did not choose.

His body naturally moved.

Gaël put all of his spare strength behind his back and hugged Adelia.

“Gaël.”

Adelia said, and Gaël gently smiled as he stared at Adelia. Magic spears poured on Gaël’s back.

The impact.

The blood.

Gaël lost the light in his eyes.

“It can’t be.”

Adelia said.

But it was hopeless. Gaël’s body collapsed. When the magic spears disappeared, his blood endlessly flowed all over the place.

Adelia’s hands that groped Gaël’s back turned red. Tears fell down from her eyes without end.

Although he was still breathing, his injuries were severe that it wouldn’t be strange if he died anytime.

“Aaaaah!”

Adelia stood up and screamed as her mana exploded. The invisible force became fierce blades of wind as it swept towards Saluzia.

But it didn’t work.

Her power was definitely great, but even if she was in control of it, she wouldn’t be able to do anything to Saluzia.

Saluzia wouldn’t be hit by an attack that was recklessly shot like that.

Her four wings crushed all the waves of magic power that Adelia let out.

And in a few seconds.

Having exhausted all her strength, Adelia fell on her knees. Her trembling hands fell on top of Gaël, and she was unable to lift her hands anymore.

Saluzia smiled as she gazed at those two. She imagined the future of Jude and Cordelia in the figures of the two.

“I’ll be merciful.”

I’ll at least let you two go together without pain.

Saluzia moved her hand. She finally fired a magic spear towards the lightly trembling and powerless Adelia.

And at that moment.

Just when the magic spear left Saluzia.

The night sky shook.

The ground rocked.

The whole place – no, the world literally shook.

It was a moment, but all the magic spells in the area were nullified.

The one who made it that way.

A person who could exert that much power.

Saluzia looked up in a hurry.

Above the city walls.
