The wife of the villains, returning to death to change her mind.
Episode 17 Base
"... I've been watching you the last few days, but there's a thousand more. Are you sure you're okay...?
That's what Gusto said as he hid in the woods bushes, peeking at the farsighted demon guides supplied by the Duke's house.
There's me and Walter in the back.
Gusto's watching is a goblin hub recently discovered, which also confirms it's home.
It was not me who discovered it, but the hunters of the surrounding villages and the scouts sent earlier by the Duke's house, based on my information, who looked for it.
My guess of knowing the future research but therefore understanding the ecology of goblins in quite detail seemed useful and was discovered quite quickly.
Well, in the first place, the scale was this big, and it wasn't that hard to find if you knew there was one.
Then there was time for the Knights to arrive, so the hunters remained in rotation with a few as surveillance.
One of them was Gusto, and he was here for a few days.
"A thousand... I originally assumed that there would be five thousand, so you mean about six thousand. Well, errors."
"Don't mistreat a thousand... how many knights are here?
"Three hundred in all."
"Three hundred!? Three hundred for six thousand... that's too little? I don't know how many goblins you're dealing with, but twenty knights on their own is tough."
"Well, that's undeniable. That's just about all I can put right into the boulder, even in the Duke of Farrence territory. It would have been different if I had had a little more time, but waiting for more is not a good idea. And... that's why I'm here. Walter, where are the knights?
"As you instructed, we're hiding over there. We haven't even found out because of your wife's hidden witchcraft."
The direction in which Walter turned his gaze is behind the Goblin stronghold.
Some goblin scouts climb high and stare at you, but they're not in your eyes, they're just watching your surroundings for a moment.
Most goblins are powerless against witchcraft, and if there are about three hundred people, I can do just enough witchcraft to hide its existence.
"He said he was going to hide three hundred people... hell. You don't even look like me in the first place..."
I said that like gusto was frightened.
It is difficult to discern at this distance if you know that you are there in the first place and do not possess some skill as a mage.
Except if you have a magic guide or the knights move big.
"I can see you even if you get closer... Anyway, it's time to start. All right, I'll go. Give the knights a signal. And walters and gusts are ready for impact."
"... we talked about bumping magic... how much. Well, fine. Do it."
While Gusto said so, Walter also waved at the distant knight and sent a signal.
Having checked them, I elaborate and chant magic.
"... O Great Flaming Elf, obey and wield my life its power to wear, melt and evaporate even earth masses. Show the cauldron to overthrow in the sky…" The Gehenom Meteorite "!
As I chant, I recall Lily's favorite use for the annihilation of a massive force.
Its power is different because I don't have as much magic power as Lily, but I can activate it, and I'm better up for control.
So you should be able to do a lot of damage to goblins......
"... Whoa, whoa! From the sky... the meteorite...!?
"..." Collapse Meteorology "... that's ancient magic. I didn't know anyone could use it...!
Gusto and Walter squeal about that as they stare at the red, shining sky.
I wanted to give you an explanation, even for me, but now I can't do it on a boulder.
It can be used, but it takes a lot of concentration to control.
Magic power, too, is considerably reduced with this one shot.
I can't fail...
Huge chunks of rock wrapped in polar flames falling at high speeds from the sky, and burst and poured just before the goblin stronghold.
A roar sounds and the screams of the goblins roar around.
control to never fall on us or the knights, but
"Whoa!
Huge shards fell nearby.
... Unfortunately, there are times like this.
You still need refinement.
I managed not to hit you critically, but apparently I over-conscious you.
The control of the "Collapse Meteorology" shells, meteorite shards has been sweetened and the rest has fallen where the Goblins are few.
Where all the shards have fallen, looking at the walter and nodding, he signals the knights even more.
From there the knights shouted and headed towards the Goblin army as they threatened.
The stronghold presented the appearance of a light fort covered with wooden piles around it, but my magic has caused many of the piles to collapse and allow them to enter from anywhere.
"... maybe a third of the time."
That's what I said as I observed, Gusto nodded,
"Well, you did about that. Two thousand in one shot. I don't know."
"... not really. A good man slaughters ten thousand with that. You're a little short..."
"Are you still not satisfied with all that tearing up..."
"The magician's path is a path of exploration. There's no such thing as satisfaction. Well, it's time for us to go too... Ah"
Due to a sharp reduction in magic, my feet are a little less convergent and I'm about to fall.
"Whoa, excuse me, ma'am"
But the walter supported me firmly and quickly, so I didn't have to stick it out of my face on the ground.
"Thank you..."
"No. Is it better than that? I understand your wife is going to be in the fight from here on out too..."
"No problem. I just fluttered a little. When you use all that magic on a boulder... but it's stable now. When it's really dangerous, I'm sorry, but I'll pull it off."
"I was wondering if that's okay. The knights won't blame your wife for taking us so far into a favorable situation."
"But even though it sticks as much as possible...... yes, both of you. I'll do it. I'll do some auxiliary magic." Body Enhancement (Prefortigo)/Dawn (Shahar) "
Along with my chant, the two bodies are filled with orange magic light.
I can make it look invisible, but now would be a good time.
"Oh, this is...!
"I have a very light body. How long is this going on?
"It's about an hour for now. I can tell because if it's about to run out, it's slowly getting weaker. Tell me then. I'll manage it here and call you back whenever I can, but there's a chance I'll forget about it."
"Okay. But an hour... is it going to take?
Says Gusto as he looks in the direction of the struggling Knights.
This magic has been applied to them beforehand, and it is difficult to call them back that way because the number is numerical, so the effect is sustained for two hours.
"... well, if it doesn't take, that's fine. Come on, let's go!
"Ha."
"Whoa, this is gonna make me fight as much as I want!
And we go into base.
