“Hilde, Alice!”
KABOOM!!
Behind Rachnil, two won burst through the weakened floor, wielding a scythe wrapped in frost and a sword imbued with the power of nightmares.
Frost Dragon Hilde and Heart Queen Alice Carroll had arrived.
Monts earlier, the students had opened the vault on the first floor, securing one of their victory conditions. Isaac knew this thanks to a ntal report from Hilde.
All the students were waiting at the Märchen Academy base. After securing their safety, Hilde and Alice waited for Isaac’s orders from an appropriate location.
CLANG!!
In an instant, two greatswords materialized, intercepting Hilde and Alice’s surprise attack.
[Useless.]
Rachnil thought Hilde and Alice would continue their attack, but for so reason, they kicked off the ground and retreated.
Following this, a sacred bird of light soared toward Rachnil. It was the five-star light spell, [Apostle of Light], born from Ian’s sword trajectory.
Rachnil scowled.
[You think that will…!]
Rachnil tightened his grip on the greatsword, iron mana coursing through it.
Just as he was about to strike the [Apostle of Light], a plant magic circle abruptly ford around him.
Slash!
Thick, glowing green vines sprang from the magic circle, swiftly entwining Rachnil.
The density of mana within the vines was so imnse that even Rachnil couldn’t react quickly enough.
However, it wasn’t Kaya’s magic.
“Sylphia…?”
Kaya instantly recognized it and was taken aback.
In no ti, the [Apostle of Light] struck the immobilized Rachnil.
CHAAAANG!!!
An iridescent light source shimred.
KABOOM!!!
The explosion of Divine Power engulfed Rachnil, spreading the dusky glow of the setting sun.
Rachnil scread.
The blessing of the Twilight Fairy.
Isaac recognized the nature of that power.
The fairy power passed down through the Fairytale family. The blessing of the Twilight Fairy, Nurix.
If the power of Nix, the Night Fairy, controlled the Sanctuary and commanded the fairies, the power of Nurix, the Twilight Fairy, was immortality and end.
That power activated at the dramatic mont when soone other than a demon killed Ian. The opponent received the Curse of the End, and Ian would escape death’s clutches.
The important thing was that any fairy power, by default, could effectively strike a fairy.
Clang!!
The formidable Iron Knights, weapons raised, charged at Isaac and his group in unison.
[Humans…!]
As the explosion of Divine Power subsided, Rachnil, with a face full of rage, sent heavy iron pillars toward Isaac from all directions.
At that mont, a strange energy enveloped the Iron Sanctuary.
Four teors breached the sanctuary’s outer walls and penetrated inside.
KABOOM!!
The four teors each took their own form.
Each was a mysterious being.
They shattered the Iron Knights and obliterated Rachnil’s magic as they stord the Iron Sanctuary.
It happened effortlessly as if it were the most natural thing.
[Hello, Rachnil.]
[You wretch…]
Rachnil’s eyes blazed with murderous intent.
Standing before Kaya.
An exalted being with fluttering verdant green hair greeted in a noble voice. Her clear skin emitted a soft glow, proving she was no ordinary being.
Dressed in verdant green adorned with flowers. Tall and slender. She smiled brightly.
“Sylphia…!”
Kaya, astonished, was overwheld with emotion.
The figure before her was Sylphia, the Erald Fairy, who had claid Kaya Astrea as her kin.
[Kaya, it’s been a long ti.]
“What brings you here…?”
[Rachnil was acting suspiciously, so I was saving my strength.]
Isaac observed the fairies that had arrived with Sylphia.
Elaine, the Rainbow Fairy.
Ares, the Strife Fairy.
Clady, the Cloud Fairy.
All of them were level 200.
[Have you co to interfere with …?]
Rachnil, surrounded by Isaac’s group and the fairies, ground his iron teeth.
[We couldn’t care less who dominates this world. Whether humans fall and demons rise doesn’t concern us. If that’s the way of things, we’ll let it be. However…]
A red rose adorned one of Sylphia’s eyes, while the other glead with a mysterious light.
[We shouldn’t be doing this among ourselves. Especially for personal reasons.]
[Damn bastards…]
For fairies, the world’s order was not centered around humans. To them, humans were just the dominant species of the current era.
Whether demons ruled the world in the future or another race took over, fairies simply let the world follow its course.
However, fairies directly disrupting the order was not sothing they could tolerate.
Those gathered here were followers of Nix, the Night Fairy. They had assembled in response to Nix’s power.
[I will expand my sanctuary here. And… I will rise to the sa level as Stella and bring that child down.]
Stella is now a fairy…
Shut up.
CRACKLE!!
The iron mana from the sea and his heart swiftly converged at the core of Rachnil’s body.
A heavy shockwave of mana reverberated in all directions.
Rachnil’s body glead and swelled, forcing Isaac’s group to hastily evade or shield themselves with the fairies’ defensive magic.
[Do not stand in my way.]
Rachnil transford into an iron giant, growing until he reached the high ceiling, glaring down at Isaac’s group and the fairies. His form was like that of a knight clad in armor.
In his hand, he held a gigantic greatsword from which iron mana erupted violently.
Countless greatswords hovered in the air once more, aiming at the humans and fairies.
SCREEECH!
The sanctuary’s ceiling opened, revealing an enormous greatsword shrouded in dark clouds, ready to descend.
The overwhelming mana pouring from the sky pounded Isaac’s group’s senses relentlessly.
Isaac laughed plainly at the grand sight.
“So, this is phase 2.”
Isaac gathered ice mana in his right hand. A pale blue magic circle appeared above it.
[Are you the new Elental King of Ice?]
“So what if I am?”
[Take this.]
“What?”
Following the lead of Ares, the Strife Fairy, the fairies extended their arms toward Isaac, channeling their mana into him.
Isaac felt the mysterious mana coursing through his body and was taken aback.
This mana wasn’t ant to embody the power of the fairies.
It was mana that mixed with the mana flowing in Isaac’s body, temporarily empowering him. A kind of buff.
It was the victory condition for ❰Magic Knight of Märchen❱ 「Act 11 Scene 3, Fairy War」.
[For a mont, your power will beco stronger than ever before.]
“Why are you giving this to ?”
This power was originally intended for Ian.
[We judged that you are the most suitable to wield this power. That is the only reason.]
“…”
There was no need to question it in the first place.
He had embarked on a quest to defeat the Evil God himself in pursuit of a happy ending.
Hadn’t he been ddling in everything all this ti?
So now, Isaac vowed to shatter everything himself.
“Thank you.”
Vibrant magic flared up around Isaac.
A strange pressure enveloped his whole body. The chill of light mana rged with his ice mana.
He felt certain he could unleash terrifying power at any mont.
His senses roared as the magic surged violently.
It was quite an exhilarating feeling.
KUUUUUNG!!
The sound of the sky being torn apart echoed as the greatsword descended toward the Iron Sanctuary.
[Cheers!]
Ares, the Strife Fairy, flew towards the giant Rachnil.
Rachnil swung his iron mana-infused greatsword, its sheer force threatening to cleave everything in its path.
In response, Ares swung his fist fiercely.
KAAAANG!!!
Ares, the Strife Fairy, stood at the pinnacle of pure strength among the fairies.
Ares’ fist deflected Rachnil’s greatsword. As Rachnil’s balance faltered, a plant magic circle spread under his feet.
Grrrrr!
The magic circle glowed, and thick verdant green vines slithered up and tightly constricted Rachnil’s body.
It was Sylphia’s plant magic.
Simultaneously, an iridescent barrier ford in the sky. Elaine, the Rainbow Fairy, intercepted the descending greatsword from the center of the barrier.
[Hehe.]
Elaine’s cheerful laughter.
As the descending greatsword struck the rainbow barrier, it screeched loudly, and fierce sparks flew.
The power to instantly deflect any impact. This was Elaine’s unique ability, “Reflection”.
As the greatsword clashed with the rainbow barrier, Clady, the Cloud Fairy, soared up and ford a massive cumulonimbus cloud inscribed with a magic circle above Rachnil’s head.
The cloud, created by the fairy’s imnse mana, was overwhelmingly powerful.
A silvery-white downpour soaked Rachnil. Sizzling, smoke rose as the iron corroded. The
Rain of Desire hungrily attacked the iron giant.
Swish!!
Countless greatswords hovered nacingly, then swung fiercely at the fairies. The fairies gritted their teeth, using their magic to fend off the relentless strikes.
“Phew.”
Isaac, Hilde, and everyone except the enemies were enveloped by the [Frost Barrier], shielding them from Isaac’s ice magic.
Frost Dragon Hilde unleashed a hazy [Frostwind]. The [Frostwind], imbued with the power of the [Nightfalls’ Edge], began to engulf Rachnil.
Isaac sheathed his Obsidian Blade and, using the power of the [Ice Sovereign], unfolded three pairs of icy wings.
Fwoosh!
And then he took flight.
