Everyone, well now begin aerial combat!
I shouted at the sa ti that Noble Blood, which had transford, soared high into the sky. The enemy had the ability to fly in addition to powerful magic attacks. We needed to engage it in mid-air so that we wouldnt be one-sidedly attacked from the sky.
Flying Dance!Sky Walk!
Kouga and Alma, who were responsible for attacking, took the lead and flew into the sky.
Samurai Skill: Flying Dance
Assassin Skill: Sky Walk
Both are Skills that make moving in mid-air possible. Flying Dance allows the user to create footholds in mid-air using magic power, while Sky Walk allows the user to move freely in mid-air through anti-gravity.
Summon Pegasus!Servant Valkyrie!
Leon and Hugo werent able to fly through the sky by themselves. However, they had Skills that summoned ans of transport that had the ability to fly.
Knight Skill: Summon Pegasus
A Skill that summons a winged Pegasus. Equipped with silver body armor, the Pegasus has the ability to fly and strong individual fighting abilities as well.
Puppet Skill: Servant Valkyrie
A Skill that creates a puppet soldier shaped like a marine ray that has the ability to fly. Although it has almost no offensive capabilities, its possible for people to ride on its wide, flat back. Its a puppet soldier thats mainly used for transportation.
Leon got on the Pegasus, while Hugo rode on the back of the flying soldier. I didnt have any aerial combat Skills myself, so I jumped onto a flying soldier that Hugo had summoned additionally. Then, as each of us took to the air, Noble Blood raised a fireball so massive that it could be mistaken for the sun high above its head.
You insects!!! Be turned to dust!!!
The mont the fireball, which had been released at high speed, hit the ground, a huge explosion occurred. An ultra-high temperature heat wave swept through, not just the square, but the entire abandoned capital, devastating it like a hurricane. And then, the center of the explosion, which had beco a vacuum, drew back the blast waves that had expanded outwards, further deepening the scars that the explosion had left on the land.
We had managed to escape to the sky in the nick of ti, but spread out before our eyes was the sight of the abandoned capital that had been turned into an expanse of boiling red magma. Even the buildings that were a long way from the center of the explosion had collapsed due to the blast waves, and the one-ti tropolis had beco nothing more than a vacant lot.
It was plain to see, but a Lords strength was trendous. It didnt have enough magic power left to use ti-stop magic, but its attack power far exceeded ours.
However, that wouldnt change the fact that we would be victorious.
Kouga and Alma, press Noble Blood with attacks! Leon, support both of them! Hugo, re-summon the puppet soldiers!
Okay!Leave it to !Understood!Ill do it imdiately!
Making full use of their mobility, Kouga and Alma closed the distance in one breath and dauntlessly slashed at Noble Blood.
Leon deployed barriers on the two of them while riding the flying Pegasus, and further provided covering fire using spheres of lightDivine Impact.
However, as fast as the wind, Noble Blood avoided all of their attacks. By manipulating gravity, it had the ability to fly in its human form, but now that it had grown wings, its mobility was incomparably better.
Legion!
Grandmaster Skill: Legion
A Skill that creates multiple puppet soldiers at once.
As a Puppeteer, Hugo was one of the strong who had reached A Rank. And, controlling an army was undoubtedly the ability of the Grandmaster, the A Rank Job of the Puppeteer series.
60 puppet soldiers were created anew. There were 20 long-distance types, 10 support types and 30 flying types to carry the other puppet soldiers. After creating the puppet soldiers, Hugo imdiately went to help the three of them. A salvo of long-distance attacks using bows, guns and magic of various attributes rained down on Noble Blood.
However, even Hugo couldnt so much as lay a scratch on Noble Blood, who had dodged the entire salvo.
As I thought, that precognition is troubleso
Noble Blood, who had mastered all magic, could even control space and ti. I had been able to seal off its ultimate ability, which was ti-stop magic, but that wasnt all there was to Noble Blood. Controlling space and ti also ant being able to see the future. In other words, precognition was also one of its abilities.
No matter how many thousand slashes Kouga sent out at once, or how much Alma tried to pounce on it while moving at extrely high speeds that surpassed the speed of sound, the two of them posed no threat to Noble Blood, who had its precognition activated constantly. Noble Blood kept on avoiding the attacks by a hairs breadth, and even tried to counter-attack using its stout arms that had their power amplified through manipulating gravity.
Kouga and Alma were indeed avoiding direct hits, but just the shockwaves from Noble Blood's attacks alone were capable of causing fatal wounds. Each ti they avoided an attack, the barriers that Leon and Hugo were continuously deploying shattered in their place.
The battle situation was overwhelmingly in Noble Bloods favor. Moreover, although Noble Blood was enraged, it stayed very calm. Noble Blood would have been easier to fight if it had lost itself to anger and did sothing like firing off powerful magic consecutively, but since that attack with the fireball after its transformation, it had limited its magic consumption by focusing on fighting hand-to-hand. I tried to disturb its thoughts by provoking it, but that didnt seem to have the desired effect. If the battle continued without change, we would probably lose as we were inferior in terms of stamina.
Having said that, I had no intention of being defeated like this.
Just like how Noble Blood had precognition, I was also able to predict the future by increasing my thinking speed. Ever since the battle started, I had been going up against Noble Blood by constantly predicting the battle situation.
Of course, my ability to predict the future was severely outclassed in terms of performance. My ability didnt show the future itself, but rely allowed to predict what would happen one instant into the future by analyzing the information that I had sensed. Furthermore, there would be a ti lag when conveying the results of my predictions to my allies even if they were communicated directly via Link, so the accuracy of my predictions would drop.
However, even if my ability to predict the future was inferior, I had sothing that Noble Blood didnt. That was my vast library of battle knowledge. My predictions were reinforced by the countless tactics for the weak to vanquish the strong that Noble Blood, who held overwhelming power, would never have thought of.
Kouga, dodge an attack coming from your left front two seconds later. At the sa ti, activate Rain of Cherry Petals. In addition, use Swallow Reversal to create a continuous barrage of slashes. Alma, launch a surprise attack three seconds later using Kougas barrage as cover. Appear diagonally to the right and 50 ters above the enemy. Leon, stop deploying barriers for just five seconds. Continuously fire Divine Impact towards the front. Lead the enemy into the path of Almas attack. Hugo, concentrate your barriers on Kouga for 3 seconds. After that, imdiately provide covering fire for Alma. Secure the path of her retreat after her surprise attack. Kouga, imdiately leap backwards 30 ters. Alma
All of the instructions to my allies were issued simultaneously using parallel thinking and Link. 30 minutes had passed since the battle started. My allies were avoiding as well as countering Noble Blood's attacks using the most efficient movents, all the while receiving instructions based on the results of my predictions. If I made even a split second mistake in my predictions, soone would die, which would then lead to our annihilation.
The load from continuously making predictions had already pushed my brain near its operating limits. Not only was I experiencing a splitting headache, I had severe nausea, and blood was coming out of every orifice on my face. Even my heart felt like it would stop at any mont.
But, what is sothing of this degree?
Oh, destiny
No matter the pain, no, even if I die, its not a reason for to stop moving forward. Dont flinch. Keep on thinking. Beat the Lord at reading a perfect prediction of the future. Cling on to victory. If you shrink back, your allies will die. Youll lose everything. Rember the words you swore to your grandfather.*
I promise, Grandpa. Ill beco the strongest Seeker
Kneel before
And then, beyond the prediction that surpassed all predictions, a ray of light broke through.
I saw it!!!
It was a ray of light as narrow as the eye of a needle. But it was a sure chance of victory.
Hugo, concentrate your barriers on Leon! Leon, Nightmare Charge!
Okay!Understood!
Kouga, from that position, target the enemy below you with Sword of Ice! Alma, maximum deploynt of Shadow Arm up towards the sky!
Alright!Got it!
Following my instructions, Leon turned the Pegasus towards Noble Blood and charged.
Knight Skill: Nightmare Charge
A Skill that is used when the user is mounted on the summoned Pegasus and charges the enemy while deploying barriers. The charges destructive power will be multiplied by the speed of the Pegasus and the toughness of the barriers.
While being protected by multiple layers of barriers that Hugo and Leon himself had deployed, Leon charged at Noble Blood with the speed of a teor. Even Noble Blood would take a great deal of damage if it suffered a direct hit from the charge.
Tch!
Noble Blood, who could see the future, dodged Leons deadly charge even as it clicked its tongue. However, imdiately after that, a huge iceberg fell from the sky, and shadow hands attacked it from below. Noble Blood had clicked its tongue because it had seen this coordinated attack.
And, our onslaught wasnt over yet.
Hugo, activate Union Burst, then fire a salvo of sweeping attacks! Leon, Seraphim Blade! Well decide the battle here!
Union Burst!!!Seraphim Blade!!!
Hugo activated Union Burst on all of the long-distance type puppet soldiers. In exchange for the puppet soldiers falling apart, they attacked with their maximum power. Leon brought the Pegasus to a sudden stop and turned it around. Then he raised his sword high in the sky and concentrated all of his magic power into it.
No matter how far into the future Noble Blood could see, it wouldnt be able to escape if it was surrounded by attacks launched at the sa ti. Between Noble Bloods precognition and my limited prediction ability brought about by high-speed thinking, I was the one who had won at predicting the future.
Don't look down on , you shitty insectssssss!!!
Noble Blood shouted in rage and fired a terrifying lightning strike at Leon. It couldnt avoid all of our attacks. For that reason, its aim was to prevent the activation of Seraphim Blade, which had the most destructive power, along with killing Leon. Resigned to the fact that it would get hit, its plan was to inflict even greater damage in exchange for taking damage. But I had predicted sothing like that.
Leon, Conversion! Invincible, activate!
Tactical Skills: Conversion
A Skill that targets allies that are activating a Skill, it has the effect of allowing the user to forcibly activate another Skill.
Due to the effect of Conversion, the magic power that had been poured into Seraphim Blade, which was on the verge of being fired, was converted into the activation of Invincible. A Knight's absolute barrier, which could be used only once a day, that reflected all types of attacks just one ti.
Impossible!?
The lightning strike that had been reflected by Leon's Invincible lashed out at Noble Blood. This outco was sothing that Noble Blood had not been able to predict. The reason for that was because it had inadvertently stopped its precognition due to the agitation and frustration that it had felt from being cornered by attacks that couldnt be avoided even by relying on its precognition.
In the palm of my hand, dance, go mad, and then die!!!
All attacks, impact.
In addition to our attacks, Noble Blood was also hit by its own lightning strike and was engulfed in a huge explosion of energy.
You insectssSSss!!!
Noble Blood had deployed a barrier. It was able to survive the rampaging energy, but it had lost its right arm.
It's over!!! Kouga, Alma, finish it off!!!
I wasnt going to miss this chance. I ordered the two people with the highest mobility to pursue.
Tactical Skill: Assault Command
I activated the trump card that increased the power of all attack Skills by a factor of 15.
Iai Slash!!!Quick Attack!!!
Kouga, from above, and Alma, from below, tried to land a killing blow on Noble Blood. Noble Blood defended against their attacks by deploying yet another barrier.
GUOOOOOOO!!!
Drops of blood sprayed out as Noble Blood howled. The last of its magic power was already about to run out. As the final move, I closed my right thumb, ring and little finger and stuck out the remaining index and middle finger. It was a hand gesture calledsword sealin the Orient.
All creation, fall prostrate before my dreadful damnation! Curse!!!
I shouted as I swung the sword seal down toward Noble Blood.
