"I thought I made you stand still."
Pure white high elf Admiral Voznesens moved his eyebrows.
A man who never disturbs his emotions with a poker face, but it seems he was unexpected.
[Fuhahaha! Are you stopping time now? It's a funny thing...! '
With a high smile, I picked the frame of the glasses with my fingers. Furthermore, I made a small move to make others foolish.
"You."
Voznesens stopped his attack on Lentmia and turned to False Grecas.
At the very least, it seems that they managed to defy the emotions of Voznesense, who was so elegant, and to distract her.
"Why can I move?"
Voznesense hasn't noticed that Guglecus, who moves gently within the space-time barrier, is a fake (...) that looks just like it.
I saw a time outage, Fuhaha.
Funny thing.
I don't change my expression, but I obviously have doubts.
The essence of ancient magic, the magic of time stopping with absolute confidence, is not something that can be easily broken.
─ Hahaha, you're so stingy...! Looks like you're mad.
With the entry thread plug on the false Guglecus' head, Fairy Metius is doing his duty faithfully.
- Five minutes is fine. I want you to get Voznesense's attention. Distract yourself from Lentmia and Maguerna. With a flirtatious conversation.
The real wise man Guglecus listened to Fairy Metius.
--All right, wise man Guglecus.
I did not take on a dangerous mission for the sake of his beloved. It was only because I was inspired by the curious curiosity and adventure that had remained the same since the time when I was a "princess's soul trapped in the library barrier".
"Oh, my God, you amaze me."
The words were gentle, but clearly uncomfortable and angry. If you think about it, it's the expression of someone else entering the precious secret garden.
Only Voznesens and Pseudogrecas are moving in still time.
It is clear that this situation is uncomfortable and unforgivable for the white High Elves.
”O... I'm going to continue my research, study magic, and strive for the supreme wizard... so, huhaha...”
Unfortunately, you can't, Grecas.
Why?
"As a short-lived species (...), you can't reach the truth." I'm going to die before I know the highest peak of magic. "
Voznesens snorted his fingers with grace. At the same time, a small grain of red light was emitted as if it were a bean grain.
"I was going to give it to your friend, but take it instead." Promethean flames that melt iron. "
It was an "ancient magic" that bears the name of an ancient myth.
It hit Gugrecas and exploded, enveloping him with a flame of incredible shock and heat.
"Kaa...!?"
"Let's make it right. Death has just arrived."
... I mean... heh? I'm fine.
A thick glass barrier unfolded around the false Gugrecas, forming a wall to prevent the flames.
Huh?
The [Sage's Barrier] was granted to all 16 layers. It is already deployed in the strongest combat mode.
You can perform magic attacks, physical attacks including impact and radiant heat, and defensive effects against energy attacks of any wavelength. The enormous amount of magic power needed to maintain it was supplemented by the magic power contained in the fake Grecas.
Whether I can defeat this thing, fuha!
The flames disappeared, and the unharmed false Grecas laughed unstoppably.
However, half of the barrier has been destroyed by the current attack.
Is it better to put up with it one more time?
"... I see. Did you create your own barrier comparable to the ancient magic?"
I haven't noticed Voznesense yet. What we're facing is a pseudo-Grecas composed of slimes.
The Golem dolls were elaborated by growing slime cells. The magic waves emitted by Guglecus' Doppelgänger were the same, and were nothing short of magical clones.
If you approach and touch it, you may find out, but the opponent is also vigilant and keeps a distance of about ten meltes.
It would be a tough move to break through.
Next time! Guglecus Photon Cannon (Byim)...! "
Fairy Metius pressed the red button on the joystick (...) just to fight back.
Both eyes of the fake Gugrecas shone suspiciously, and the light analysis grating in the glasses was amplified, resembling Lentomia's directional thermal magic (positrol).
"Nuu...!?"
The red light sparks as it reaches Voznesens. But it was bent and ripped apart the trees behind it. In a world where time was still, there was only a gap.
"Are you kidding me? There's no point in attacking a childhood play."
The blue streaks rose on Voznesense's forehead. Her High Elves also reveal their irritability.
Oh, no. I think I provoked too much.
"I was told to buy some time, so maybe I should have extended my story...?"
At that time, Metius the Fairy was a little worried.
It's gone.
Hah!?
The figure of Voznesense is right in front of you.
"--You can stop my [Space-Time Junction] time over and over again."
A voice came from behind.
Behind you!?
When I looked back in a hurry, there was a beautiful and ruthless expression on the face of a white high elf at close range.
"It's time to be even more still." Time delay (sloor)! "
Voznesens' words triggered the movement, and even the false Gugrecas stopped.
"... is that...!?"
In the course of time, which was delayed a hundredfold, I applied more than twice the time stop magic.
The world is mostly dark.
As time draws to a complete standstill, the light intensity of the world seems to be falling and plunging into darkness.
However, thanks to the layered defense of Pseudogrecus and the magic absorption effect of countless pseudo-slime cells, only the Fairy Metius lurking in the head was barely conscious.
- Oh, I can't move! But I just have to... recognize... the next move!
Voznesens slowly approached, leaving behind an afterimage.
Then I pressed my hand against Guglecus' back. It was the magic of the red light. The blazing flame that was unleashed earlier was even bigger than the Promethean Flame.
--That's not good...!
Fairy Metius concentrates on the moment the magic is lifted. Even the fake Grecas couldn't stand it if they ate it at a super close range.
"... time moves again. Farewell, Gugrecas."
Voznesens whispered gracefully, returning his heel and distancing himself.
Eventually, the time stationary magic was lifted.
Flash and Big Bang.
C 'mon!?
Everything was filled with white light, and a storm of shock and fire covered my sight.
"G-g-gray!?"
"W-What...!?"
Lentmia and Maguerna unfolded a defensive barrier to defend themselves.
A blazing flame of incredible calorific value pushes toward you, and a bright red mushroom cloud rises into the sky.
In the sky, two dragons stuck to their right by a blast were twirling as they flapped their wings.
There was no Grecas in the vicinity of what seemed to be the epicenter.
― ― After finishing the work, you will be delayed.
Did I tell you that Guglecus had disappeared from the explosion?
"Gugrecas is dead."
Suddenly, I heard a voice.
When I turned my gaze, a white high elf, Voznesense, stood against a black mushroom cloud.
A red and black glow illuminates the white figure.
It was a bit far from Lentomia and Maguerna, and it was confronting Gugrecas.
White silky hair, snowy skin.
Only a snake-like glow and slightly open lips are spookyly red.
"Don't slap me!"
Majelna raged and smashed the magic like a bar with all her might.
"Where's Guggle!?"
Lentmia unleashed a directional thermal magic (positrol).
However, both of them were prevented by a barrier that shone like a diamond in Voznesense.
"What!? I hit you with the same output as Super Dragon Dracilia...!"
"Even the Sage (Guggle) barrier should be powerful enough to penetrate!"
The semi-structured iron bar was thumped and shattered, and the red thermal line was twisted. Even a simultaneous attack by two of the highest-ranking wizards of the Methanostadt Kingdom is impossible.
"It's no use. My" "Thousand Years of Barrier" "can't be broken by any number of people." The essence of ancient magic, time horizontal movement theory, distributes the damage along the vertical axis of time. "
Without changing their expressions, Voznesens spoke to the tongue and asked them to listen, then he turned his palm to the two of them.
There were two red lights, which glowed more and more.
"You should go to him, too."
"Ku...!"
Guggle!
"It's no use calling." I don't want him anymore-- "
... Hoo-hoo-hoo! Who... is there anymore?!
Voznesense opened her long, sharp eyes and looked back.
There's no one there.
There was just a hemispherical burst. Dirty pieces of sticky material are scattered.
Then where is it?
Up there!?
Like the High Elves, Lentmia and Maguerna turned their gaze to the sky in a hurry.
In the sky, the raw head of the black-haired glasses was floating.
"Ugh, what a monster!?"
"Guggle just at the head!?"
"The emergency escape technique (bailout) that was planned...! It's a head disengagement!" It became a whip, but ahooho... fuha hahaha...!}
Flying like a circle, he makes a high laugh.
There were four wings on the head that resembled fairy feathers. He is flying while blowing air from the cut surface of his neck.
"What ugliness...! A sorcerer's magic!"
That was Voznesense's Wrath. When he shouted to throw up, he turned to the sky and fired a bullet of red light. Two shots from left and right.
My aim is sweet! The air is my territory...! "
The flying head of Guglecus flashed like a fairy, avoiding two shots of red light.
Vo, Lord Voznesens!?
Abu, danger... ahhhh!
Two fellow dragons are engulfed in a flaming magic aerial explosion.
Ohhhhhhhhh!
"It's creepy, but it's amazing..."
"Don't do it, Guggle!"
Majelna and Lentomia were dazzlingly nagging.
"Oh, my God...!"
Voznesens was clearly losing his ordinary mind.
The third bullet of light was excited with the palm of his hand and directed into the sky.
But the glow swayed and flashed. Magic doesn't excite.
"What...?"
The [Ancient Magic] of the flame, which should have taken less than a second, flashes erratically and disappears into a distorted state.
Shortly after questioning it, Guglecus, the head of the sky, threw a ray of light from the sky in return.
Eat it, Guglecus Photon Cannon (Bye-Im)!
"If that doesn't work...!"
Zi! and a glowing diamond barrier prevented a pseudo ray magic.
But the next moment. The barrier cracked and one of the scattered blades of light burned Voznesens' shoulders.
"Ahhh!? What...!?"
The white high elf's face warps.
The invincible barrier's self-proclaimed defenses were easily broken.
Looks like it's time.
Guglecus' neck began to flutter and lower its altitude.
Either you want to escape, or you want to get to the limit. Either way, it was a chance for Voznesense to stab me.
"Do it, you guys! Kill Guglecus and his friends...!"
However, the two dragons in the sky did not respond to the magic call. I move my gaze in a hurry and look for the sky.
... what... ahhh!?
The ancient magic... can't be solved...!?
The two dragons fell across the forest as if they were entangled.
Metallic scales peel off from all over the body, bouncing off glittering sunlight. The ancient magic could not be maintained, and the dragon's figure dissolved.
"This is... what's going on!?"
Voznesens noticed something unusual.
Something unusual is happening across the space-time barrier.
Guglecus' neck fell into the arms of a person who was on the surface.
At the same time, his raw head disappeared and a blonde fairy appeared.
Oh, I was scared!
"Thank you, Metie."
"You're welcome, but it was a very pleasant and exciting time."
"That's the best part."
Dark hair, glasses, and a crisp (hail) atmosphere.
"Sage Guglecus...!? Ki, you... are such a plotter!?"
Voznesens shook his hair and squinted with a sneaky expression.
I forgot to hide my murderous intent anymore, and the graceful and elegant high elf mask fell off.
"Hmm? Come on, what are you talking about... ahhh?"
Guglecus pinched the frame of the glasses and moved them at a very high speed. Not anymore, with such a foolish expression.
"I... I-I-Is it noisyyyyyyyyyyyy!?"
