Falling Mage and the Power of Divergence

Episode 165: Dacrya's Counter Strike

This year's Leirian Magic Games were forced to be cancelled due to Dacrya's intrusion. Everyone was temporarily anxious from the bottom of their minds about what would happen, but not so much damage because of the work of the good Leirian kingdoms magicians if they opened the lid.

But not everyone is a good magician.

Gin and Kyld acting with the water fairy Undine, Dion acting with the seiya with heretical powers, Ranya and Luca with Serena using the 'Phoenix', Real and Zill acting with Youre able to use the sacred attributes.

Together, they never panicked, despite the unforeseen circumstances, because they were acting together with the magicians in the Dark Territories, who were also experiencing combat in Dacrea.

If I hadn't acted with the magicians who had hands-on experience in Dacrea, even if I had the strength, I wouldn't have settled down so easily and moved into battle.

Speaking of which, they were lucky.

But not everyone is able to act with the magicians who are going through the battle in Dacrea.

There are currently a total of twenty student magicians left on this island of Lapis. Of these, only six are leading Arsenian School of Magic athletes with real-time experience with Dacrea.

Near the sea area are Lily and Aisi, and there are Jin and Kyld as well.

In the dense forest area, there is Seyya, and Dion is acting together.

In the Rock Mountain area is Serena, acting with Lagna, and Luca.

There was Youre in the desert area, and there was Real and Zill.

Twelve magicians can confirm at this point.

And the two of us at Camaelina School of Magic are still unable to move by Morna's magic.

Fourteen student magicians so far.

There are six magicians left. And that includes Morna, who is going through combat in Dacrea, but if Morna is asked if she is able to rendezvous with all the other five, the answer is no.

Moona was acting with the two magicians at this point.

One is a red-black haired boy in the same Saladitius School of Magic uniform as Jill, whose name is Adan. Adan noticed something strange when he was fighting Morna in the strong wind area and has been acting with Morna ever since.

And the other is a brown-haired girl in a St. Lucifer School of Magic uniform in the Central Kingdom. Her name is Harna, she is two years younger than Morna, and she is one year younger than Adam, or Aisi or Dion.

Harna ran into Morna and Adam while traveling through the strong wind area, and when she heard about the anomaly, she was acting with them.

So far, the survival of seventeen magicians could be confirmed.

And there are three remaining student magicians.

Two of them were in battle with Dacrea magicians in an urban area centrally located on the map.

"Ha ha, what am I supposed to do"

Large tears were shining in the eyes of the girl running out of breath. Incredible sights I suddenly visited, and situations I don't know what to do.

The girl had already lost her cool.

A girl who manages to hide in the shadows and wonder how her people are doing.

"Are you okay?"

"Oh, I don't know. Bad."

"Never mind."

The boy's face lying in front of the girl is blue and white, and at a glance he can tell he is not feeling well. But there's nothing a girl can do about it.

When it comes to what a girl can do, the stab wound in the boy's abdomen will be suppressed with a cloth to prevent bleeding.

So the girl desperately holds the boy's wound with a cloth in her hand.

"Good luck, 'cause we're almost there for help"

"Oh."

The girl encourages about the boy anyway. Do you really have help coming in a little while, you know, the girl doesn't know. I was just desperate to keep the boy conscious now.

"Good luck. Almost there..."

"Ah."

The boy's voice gradually sweeps away. But it won't be impossible either. Because with the boy stabbed in the abdomen, he's already been running for over an hour, and on top of that, he's bleeding a lot.

It was the limit already.

"Almost there... Almost there..."

"Ah..."

A boy who is still going to lose consciousness.

"Hold on, hold on!

…………

As the girl called desperately, the boy lost consciousness and quietly took his breath away. The girl calls desperately to shake the boy's remains, but the boy never wakes up.

He was the first victim on the Leirian side of this Dacrea invasion.

"Oh no..."

A girl who loses her word to an incredible fact. The girl begins to cry as she clings to the boy's remains. It was hard to lose a dear companion we had come this far together.

But at this point, the girl should have set aside the boy and started moving again.

This is war already.

There's no way the other side can give me time to immerse myself in the death of my people.

"I found it. Whoa, are you dead already?"

Shown up in a fun voice was a young man with burnt skin with white hair holding him to bear a big sword. His name is Detodelion-Belzebub, and he is one of the seven demon kings in Dacrya, the mastermind of this invasion of Leiria.

And he is the Teng himself who took the boy's life.

Before the boy's enemies, naturally the girl cannot regain her calm. When the girl stares at Detodelion, she summons Rapier to launch an attack.

"You are, you are."

Girl slashed by Detodelion with a carefree look. The move was as simple as if you were telling me to slash it, and Detodelion, the Demon King, couldn't have missed it.

Miscellaneous fish.

Detodelion waves his arms at the impending girl. But that arm is not the right arm where the great sword is held, but the left arm where nothing is held.

Detodelion's left arm, shaken without futile motion, pokes straight at the girl's heart.

"Ugh..."

Detodelion's left arm stabbed deeply in the girl's chest. From his fingertips slowly the girl's blood travels, falling to the ground one drop at a time.

"Boring."

Detodelion looked bored, out of the girl's chest.

Dossa, and the girl who makes noises and falls to the ground. There is already no light in those eyes, and a tremendous amount of blood flows out of the chest wound.

The girl's life was already broken at this time. You got your heart pounded, so naturally.

Detodelion, who stabbed him about the girl, did not give him a glimpse into the two carcasses and quietly leaves the scene. The purpose of this invasion is to reduce the Leirian magician's golden eggs by a little bit and achieve merit.

You can't be stopping either way.

Detodelion walked out of the city area in search of new golden eggs.

The four Aisies, who had finished a fierce battle near the sea area, had only a brief break.

In the meantime, Lily, who has been an adult version since earlier, was trying to contact Seiya, who is in the dense forest area, using a mindset that is a by-product of a full contract.

(...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

We're finally connected.

Lily managed to successfully connect with Saiya, although it was difficult to connect because she was further away than usual.

Even Saiya stops moving and focuses on reading in order to check the safety of her companions.

(Lily, are you okay?

Yeah, we're good.

(That way of talking...... are you switching?

(Sort of)

Seiya recognized from Lily's tone that Lily was an adult version, but there was no surprise there or anything. Because I didn't have time to keep secrets because of an emergency right now.

(Seiya, are you okay?

(Oh, for now)

(Yes, good for you)

Lily, who hears Saiya's safe and relieves herself.

Then they start sharing information with each other.

(Lily said it was this one coordinates... what is the sea area?)

(Yeah, that's right. Seiya, you're in a dense forest area.)

(Oh)

First, check each other's location information, and then share with those who are acting together.

(This one is acting with one of Holkinaar's magicians right now, how about that one?

(This is Aisi, and then there's the two of us at the Senavian School of Magic.)

(Senavia? Who?)

Heard of Senavian School of Magic, Seiya's face tense for a moment. Seiya, who is already face-to-face with Zach and the others, has stuck with the Lord for a long time.

But Seiya is not what she used to be today. Soon Seiya switched.

(Eh, a kid named Jin and Kyle)

(Gin and Kyle? No problem with those two)

Seiya hears the names of Jin and Kyle, and the two decide that this raid will also be a force of war. Senavian School of Magic's appearing members. Seiya I don't know, but to some extent I could have predicted.

Seiya, who hears the names Jin and Kyld and thinks that they are probably coming with members who have changed little from last year.

But no matter how much Seiya, I don't think Real is competing. Had he known that Real was there, Seyya would have pushed Real on all this issue.

But Seyya doesn't know that Real is out there. That's why we were looking for early solutions, even using dark attributes.

(So, what do we do now?

Lily's question is, are we going to rendezvous, or are we going to move on with a different action?

If Lily, the water fairy, and Seiya, who can use the dark attributes, join together, they will be quite a force of war and will not struggle so easily. But at the same time, it means endangering the others.

Usually the only Sayers who can use their readings under this circumstance would rather act differently and recover a little more survival instead of rendezvous. But this time the other guy is Dacrea and I don't know what he's going to do.

Ah, when I think about it, it's also true that it's easier for the two of you to be together to deal with it.

Either way, this is a choice that has its disadvantages.

The answer to Saiya for such two choices was immediately decided.

(Go with a different action)

(Okay. So where's the rendezvous?

(Desert area. By then, Lily and the others will be able to recover their survival in the woods and winds and destroy their enemies)

Got it.

There's a vision in their heads of when they rendezvous immediately.

I'll call you when I get to the desert area.

(Oh. Be careful.)

(Seiya, so are you)

That said, the two of you broke up.

Lily tells Aisi and the others that Seiya tells Dion about her upcoming policy.

"Dion, we're going for the desert area."

"Is it a desert area?

Dion raises questions about the term desert area. But I don't know what the reading is about, so naturally.

So Seiya explains.

"Meet your friends in the desert area"

"Wow, I get it"

I wasn't entirely convinced by Saiya's explanation, but Dion took it personally that if he got to Saiya, he would be fine. That's why Dion decides to keep quiet with Seyya.

"Then let's start with the Rock Mountain area."

Seyya and Dion walked toward the Rock Mountain area.
