The Guild Master of Demon Hunters that the Empire is Obsessed With

102 – If It’s for You (7)

Isidore’s eyes widened in astonishment as he rushed up.

The Death Knights who were gathered like ants in the very center of the border slowly began to turn in this direction like liquid flowing.

“Why is it moving?!”

“I don’t know…! It seemed like it was shaking and then suddenly like that…”

“Didn’t the principality do something strange?”

“There was no such thing. What should I do?!”

While they were talking, the Death Knights’ speed seemed to gradually increase.

No, it wasn’t visible, it was really going faster.

With tattered flags waving, the Death Knights ran toward the watchtower, each holding their own weapons.

“aah!”

The fearful imperial soldiers fired crossbows and crossbows out of range.

Isidore quickly shook his head as he saw the quarrel and crossbow flying around.

The intention of why they suddenly come here is not important.

The only thing that was certain was that it was coming this way, and the possibility of passing the watchtower was very low.

Considering that the detachment they sent when they first appeared was wiped out and Leonard also attacked them out of ignorance, they are absolutely not friendly to our empire or humans.

Even if you pass the watchtower, you will eventually enter the imperial territory, and if that happens, Isidore will be finished.

The emperor himself sent Isidore here, but he failed the mission and allowed the Death Knights to enter the empire?

This is the position of imperial wizard that I gained by risking my life by blaming Leonard, and I can never lose it.

Isidore climbed onto the castle wall’s railing and spread his arms left and right and cast his magic.

An enormous current of magical energy swirled on both sides of Isidore, distorting his peripheral vision.

The pressure of the magic power itself was so severe that the imperial soldiers attacked the Death Knight breathing difficulty felt and collapsed.

The magical energy swirling like crazy on both sides rose above the watchtower and merged into one, forming a large sphere.

The sphere of light, created purely by gathering magical power, began to slowly float towards the Death Knights, covered in ferocious lightning.

The magic sphere flew leisurely and struck dozens of lightning bolts towards the Death Knights.

It is the ‘Orb of Thunder’ that only exceptional wizards among high wizards can use.

It is a high level magic that cannot even be imitated unless you are a chosen one who is born with a body capable of using extremely strong magical power.

Even though he did a dirty job of stabbing Leonard in the back, Isidore is a skilled wizard.

He is one of the strong candidates who is believed to be able to obtain the title of Grand Wizard before reaching middle age.

So he could have been selected as a member of the anti-demon subjugation team.

The same goes for other punitive force members.

Eleanor, who was cut to pieces by Leonard, was also a famous berserker in the eastern part of the empire.

The only reason he died so vainly was because he offended Leonard.

The thunder orb floated right above the group of Death Knights and rained down lightning without stopping.

Every time the lightning struck the ground, a deep hole was created in the ground and the Death Knight’s armor and bones scattered.

The force of the lightning was so vicious that the hair on the heads of the people in the distant watchtower stood on end with static electricity.

Isidore, dyed blue and white, smiled a creepy, evil smile.

The magic doesn’t work, so no matter what happens, even a Death Knight can’t do much in the face of overwhelming magical power.

But her smile she did not last long.

The Death Knights continued to charge, stepping on their broken comrades.

And those who were already lying on the floor took shape again and followed up.

The speed of the Death Knight’s advance her as he repaired her broken body her was much faster than the speed of the thunderbolt.

Oh my, damn it… !

If things continue like this, the watchtower will be completely destroyed by those things?!

Isidore hurriedly moved his hand and pulled out the thunder orb.

A storm of her magic raged throughout her body, and her feet slowly rose from the railing.

The thunder orb flew right in front of the watchtower and fell quickly.

“Everyone hold on tight!”

At Isidore’s warning, the imperial soldiers each held on to the railing or fell flat on the floor.

The orb of thunder crashed to the floor and a heavy vibration passed through the watchtower.

“aah!!”

As the entire tower shook, the imperial soldiers screamed and grabbed whatever was around them.

The orb of thunder, half embedded in the floor, rotated violently and made a roaring noise.

The sphere was surrounded by lightning and spun around, and the orb of thunder began to plow the plain between the Death Knight and the Watchtower.

Kwagwagwagwagwagwagwa-!!!

In an instant, a moat several meters deep was created, and the charging Death Knights fell into it.

The lowest Death Knight was shattered, and the Death Knights that fell on top continued to run along the moat created by the thunder orb.

By digging a ditch and creating a waterway, Isidore was able to successfully divert the Death Knight’s path before it reached the watchtower.

The Imperial soldiers, who saw the Death Knights running along the moat and slowly moving away to the north, hugged each other and cheered.

“Long live the wizard! Long live the wizard!”

“Ahaha…”

Isidore, who likes to stand out and receive attention wherever he goes, quickly felt good about the response from the imperial army.

But it didn’t last long.

The Thunder Orb, which continued to plow the ground to the north, gradually lost its strength, tilted to the side, and stopped.

The thunder orb dissipated its magic and disappeared, and the Death Knights continued to run forward through the orb.

But, as it happened, the thunder orb twisted and stopped in the west, that is, in the direction of the Principality of Tangred Fortress.

Since it was a dark night and there was no light to determine the direction, the Death Knights rushed into Tangrad Fortress.

It seems they mistook the light that appeared in front for the Zerebe watchtower they were targeting.

“You can’t go there!!”

Isidore shouted.

Anyway, you should be happy that the Death Knights went to the principality rather than the empire.

The reason Isidore is doing this now is because of Leonard’s warning.

Leonard had clearly warned Isidore in case he drove the Death Knights towards the principality through magic or other means.

And now, Leonard can easily misunderstand it.

On a dark night, a magical sphere appeared in the sky, scattering lightning, plowing the ground, and changing the path of the Death Knights.

However, it was difficult for Isidore to do anything more right now.

There was no time to take further action because it took a huge amount of magical power to create the Thunder Orb.

“You can’t go there!! Come back!!”

The imperial soldiers looked at the Imperial Wizard with dumbfounded eyes as they chased him away and then shouted at him to come back.

* * * * *

“Everyone deploy for battle!! Everyone deploy for battle!!”

Tangrad Fortress was in an uproar as it saw the Death Knights moving and an unknown sphere rising above the Imperial Watchtower.

The bell rang and the garrison members inside the fortress poured out and were assigned to their respective positions.

“What on earth is that?”

The defense team leader asked as he looked at the magic sphere floating in the sky through a telescope.

“It’s called the Orb of Thunder. It’s the special skill of the imperial wizard who came here during the day.”

“That’s the famous one? It’s really amazing.”

The leader defense was amazed as he saw the thunder orb raining down lightning on the Death Knight’s head.

“Then, is it true that the wizard from earlier is Isidore of the Empire?”

“That’s right.”

“Oh my. I heard you have an unusual hair color. What on earth are you doing that you are personally acquainted with that famous wizard?”

I answered the leader’s question with a smile.

“Wow, maybe we can stop that?”

Lucene whistled as she sat on the castle wall and crossed her legs outward.

However, contrary to Lucene’s prediction of her, it will probably be difficult to stop it.

They keep coming back and there are too many of them.

On the other hand, the Orb of Thunder is the ultimate skill that gathers all of Isidore’s magical power.

Its destructive power is unrivaled, but its duration is very short.

“Prepare to explode. The watchtower may fall.”

Just as I was talking to the defense team leader, the guards suddenly started screaming.

When I turned around, I saw the Thunder Orb crashing down from under the watchtower and moving north, plowing the ground.

All the charging Death Knights went into that pit.

Are you really going to trap the Death Knight in a pit?

But if the thunder orb scatters, it will eventually come back to the slope, right?

What on earth is Isidore thinking?

That thing is going to go off soon…

Sure enough, the thunder orb, which had been slowly slowing down, staggered towards the fortress and dissipated like fog.

And through the afterglow of the lightning, the Death Knights were seen running straight towards the fortress.

Holy shit, Isidore, you fucking bitch!?

“It’s coming this way!!”

Someone among the guards let out a piercing scream.

“Celesteine. Go to Ornette. Explain the situation and tell her to come quickly.”

“Oh, I understand!”

Celestine ran to the portal that Ornette had opened.

“Mr. Leonard! What should I do with that!?”

The defensive leader, who was thoughtful, grabbed my shoulder and shook it.

“If I let this go, I can do whatever I want or not.”

The defensive leader let go of his shoulder and looked back at Lucene.

Lucene was already standing on the castle wall holding Thundermite.

“Let’s go, Leonard.”

Lucene and I jumped out of the castle walls.

Lucene, who landed on the ground, twirled Thundermite and said.

“All I have to do is block it until Ornette comes, right?”

“That’s right. And if there’s anyone who looks like a commander, let me know right away.”

“Okay. Let’s go.”

“Instead, you should never get angry. Because I don’t want to die yet.”

“Don’t worry, I don’t deal with those kind of people.”

Lucene laughed and tapped my shoulder.

It really hurts.

* * * * *

“aah! Ornette!! We’re in big trouble!!! Wow!”

Celestine, who had crossed the portal and was wandering around the endless flower field and screaming, fell to the ground.
