〈Episode 313〉 The Battle of the Thousand Wings (1)
* * *
Black stone.
It is the largest black-gray volcano in the world, and its elevation and area are incomparable to any other mountain.
The wilderness that the floating island once swept through is also just a part of Black Stone.
If a human were in the middle of that mountain, he would feel as if he were in a plain, because the mountain itself was so large.
However, as you get closer to the crater, the slope becomes steeper and steeper, forming a high hill that makes you feel like you are actually in a mountain.
The air was so thin near the crater that it was very high up in the sky. It was difficult for ordinary people to breathe.
Phaaaaaaah.
Somewhere in Merchen Academy, the Celestial Clock glowed and sent pure white waves across the world.
It happened in an instant. The flow of everything that dealt with strange powers, including magic, became entangled.
The function of all magical tools that had been circulating in each city stopped.
“It’s a beginning.”
Near the crater of Black Stone.
At a height where they could still breathe, the combined armies of several nations formed ranks and prepared for battle.
The Imperial Knights of the Gerbert Empire, the Holy Knights of the Holy Kingdom of Bardio, and the Frost Legion of Dufendorf.
Among them, the commander of the knights of the Gerber Empire looked up at the sky filled with pure white aurora and said.
Now is the beginning.
Hwaaaaah!
The heavens opened, and light poured down toward the crater of the Black Stone.
“All troops! Prepare for battle!!”
“Prepare for battle!!”
The Alliance forces all drew their weapons at once.
─ ‘When the Heavenly Clock starts working, it becomes difficult to properly handle magic. Fight as if there was no magic in the first place.’
Azabel Silverwolf, the commander of the Dufendorf Legion, recalled Ice Emperor Isaac’s instructions.
“The magic is entangled. It is as my lord said.”
Magic power does not circulate cleanly as I wish.
It felt incomparably more difficult to transmit cold magic to the two-handed axe, Parahon, than usual.
The Alliance’s Grand Army was organized according to Isaac’s instructions, with an emphasis on pure physical prowess. The wizards merely assisted in the journey to the Black Stone.
“Come!! Get the Black Stone!!”
The sound of flapping wings.
Celestial beings wearing silver armor descend on the light of the sky.
They each held a weapon imbued with divine power and charged towards the Alliance forces on the human side.
In order to create the Spear of Longinus using the mana flowing within the Black Stone, it was necessary to deal with the obstacles first.
War was inevitable.
Kuuuuuu!!
“Is it an earthquake?”
The mana inside the Black Stone stirred and the ground shook.
As the center of the alliance’s army was disrupted, the celestials took advantage of the gap and swung their swords and spears.
The knights responded immediately.
Chae-Ang!! Hwaaak!!
As their weapons clashed, a flood of divine power caused a secondary impact, pushing the knight back.
The Celestials were also entangled in divine power due to the effects of the Heavenly Clock. However, most of the rebels of Buel, who were exceptionally skilled, were barely able to raise their divine power to a level where it could be used in battle.
The knights’ screams echoed and blood flowed.
Gulp.
Green magical roots sprouted from the ground and healed the injured knights.
Kaya Astreang’s plant magic. She helped heal allies while under the protection of the Alliance’s great army in the rear.
The effects of the Heavenly Clock made it difficult to properly use magic, but it had less of an effect on the power of fairies.
Kaya’s role here was as a healer, as plant magic was at the top of the healing line.
Charararang!
Dorothy’s starlight magic covered the celestials.
Although the power was greatly weakened and did not have much effect on the armor of the Celestial Army, the attack was still effective compared to most elemental magic.
Dorothy’s role was supportive, as her starlight magic could dent the celestials’ armor or affect their movements.
“Writing magic has become so damn difficult!”
Dorothy forced a smile and drew on her magic.
The two female students, who were part of the Fairy’s household, joined the Alliance army under Isaac’s instructions. They each fulfilled their roles faithfully.
Chae-Ang!!
Azabel blocked the slaughter of a celestial with the blade of her large axe.
[What are you guys? Are you all the work of the Ice King?]
“You call my lord ‘that guy’? You can’t help but talk nonsense about someone with a pierced mouth, you damn bitch!”
A cross-shaped vein suddenly appeared on Azabelle’s forehead.
Isaac was great, a living legend. Azabelle felt honored to have him as her lord.
How dare you call such a person so vulgarly. Azabel couldn’t hold back her anger.
She poured her strength into pouring out her icy magic.
“Know your topic!!”
Kaang!!
Azabel swung her Pharaoh violently and pushed the celestials away.
The cold air spread fiercely, but had no effect on the celestials.

Azabel threatened like a wolf, showing her sharp teeth with her fangs protruding.
“Magic really doesn’t work. You troublesome kids.”
The armor of the Celestials maximizes elemental resistance. This was information Isaac had shared with the Alliance forces.
“Don’t give up!! Protect the Black Stone!! For the Ice Emperor!!”
Azabel swung her Pharaoh towards the celestials and shouted.
Dufendorf’s legions shouted in unison and fought against the celestials.
Meanwhile, in Düppendorf’s solitary cell.
One of the Celestials knocked down all the guards and opened the cell door.
Light came into the dark cell.
An empty room. Metel Valencia was sitting there blankly.
I was able to escape from the nightmare. The power of the Vorpal Sword was intertwined with the effect of the Heavenly Clock, allowing me to wake up from the nightmare prison.
But he was not in his right mind due to the nightmare of war that repeated countless times.
[This is Lord Buell’s order. Maetel, arm yourself and follow me immediately.]
Maetel looked at the male celestial wearing silver armor as he spoke towards the open door.
[Mr. Buel…?]
Metel, who had been staring blankly into space, recited the name and her eyes regained their vitality.
The Celestials fought endless wars with numerous races under the command of the Celestial God.
The deaths, suffering, and tears of countless comrades were all treated by the gods as expendable items.
Their gods must be brought out. Today was that golden opportunity.
Metel stood up from her seat.
As a rebel, she would give her life.
All over the world, people were gaping in amazement as they looked up into the sky where pure white aurora danced.
Instructor Ronjinus prepared to leave Merchen Academy.
He looked down at his own hands. The divine power was entangled and not working properly. The power of immortality was now useless.
Today, you must be prepared to die.
By now, the rebels following the vice-captain at Black Stone will be fighting.
It was okay. As long as they weren’t up against monsters like Ice Emperor Isaac, the Celestials were far stronger than humans.
It would not be long before the Black Stone’s mana bursts, and the Kings of Heaven would likely join in.
It didn’t matter either. Buell was confident he could beat them all.
Boom!
Two celestials burst through the outer wall. Pure white feathers scattered across Instructor Ron’s office.
They bowed down on one knee and paid homage to Buell.
[I have come to fetch you, Master Buell.]
One of the celestials was holding a blood-covered Cheshire cat in one hand.
While the strange cat was watching Buell, he was suddenly attacked by the celestials while he was off guard.
[Nioong…, it hurts so much…]
[What should I do with this demon? Should I kill it?]
When the Celestials asked with a strange expression, Instructor Ron shook his head.
[There’s no need to do that. Just let it go.]
[yes.]
If we create a spear to bring out the Heavenly Spirit, all living things in this world will lose their lives.
Unless there was an inevitable disruption or unavoidable sacrifice, Buell had no desire to commit murder.
The celestials understood this ironic attitude. They were tired of the war and wanted to draw out the celestials. This was a fight to end the slaughter that was to come.
The celestials threw the cat against the wall.
With a thud, the cat hit the wall and fell helplessly to the floor.
[Nioong… Alice, Isaac… ]
The strange cat wanted to reverse summon himself, but due to the effects of the Heavenly Clock, even if he constructed a formula for reverse summoning, his magical power was entangled and he could not do anything.
He just recited the names of the masters he wanted to see.
[egg plant.]
Instructor Ron, or Buell, transformed into his true form and walked towards the open outer wall.
Two celestials followed Buell.
Buell spread his four pairs of wings. Feathers glowing with divine power fluttered in all directions.
They kicked the ground and flew towards the sky.
Boohoo!!!
In the blink of an eye, they disappeared and a sonic boom occurred.
They cut through the air at incredible speeds, heading towards the Black Stone.
The moment I left Grim Merhen Academy.
Whoosh whoosh!!
The power of nightmare spread like flames from the sky, blocking their path.
Buell reflexively swung his divine power to protect himself and his subordinates, then stopped in midair.
They flapped their wings and raised their heads.
A black dragon wrapped in red flames was looking down at them. It was the Nightmare Dragon – Jabberwock.
The one standing there riding the black dragon and holding the Vorpal Sword was Alice Carroll, the ruler of Wonderland.
Her cold eyes glared at Buell.
[Is this an interference? Deal with it.]
[yes!]
One of the Celestials’ subordinates rose toward Alice.
That moment.
Phew!!
[… … !]
Another celestial was kicked to the ground by a kick imbued with wind magic.
Buell turned his eyes in bewilderment at the unexpected surprise.
What I saw was a blond boy I had never seen before.
[What are you?]
A very ordinary, ordinary wind magic wrapped around the body.
I didn’t even detect the magic, when did it happen? Was the detection too late?
No. It wasn’t that the magic detection was late.
As soon as the boy unleashed his magical power, he reached the celestials and attacked them.
It was such an absurd speed that even Buell was surprised.
The boy reached Buell in one breath like a shotgun and swung a fist that swirled the wind.
Buell lightly caught the fist and blocked the attack.
Phew!!
The wind magic that had been condensed in the boy’s fist exploded, but it was useless against Buell.
But Buell felt that the boy in front of him was annoying.
It does not rely entirely on wind magic. It has excellent magical power efficiency, so much so that it can still skillfully handle magical power even when the effect of the Heavenly Clock is in effect.
There, they even cover their power with close combat.
It wasn’t the fighting style of an ordinary wizard. It was also different from that of a magic knight.
If the students in Class A were those who stood out in a classic way, the boy in front of him was a magician who pioneered his own path.
“Ha! Now even the instructor is an enemy?”
The blond boy, Tristan Humphrey, let out a haughty laugh.
“You never get tired of it!”
Tristan then kicked Buell.
