Chapter 23: Marie Dunareff (4)
TC5The Warsky Mercenaries earned money by hunting demonic beasts and ghosts, and Dorron was one of the top powerhouses of the group.6hc
AJTjdEven though there were guardians assigned to the task of dealing with demons, they were few and far between. In the distant barbaric lands that were too far for guardians to reach, Dorron had spent his life decapitating demons.3vhw
wrG3He was one of the so-called geniuses. Using his innate telekinetic ability, he floated his swords and supported them with acceleration spells that were simple yet powerful.DILSQH
Gkzn3He was only 13 years old when he became the right-hand man of the captain of the mercenary group.3yv5w
vzLEAgNo-one in the Warsky group was stronger than Dorron as an individual, but there was a reason why he didn’t bother aiming for the position of a captain.Gto6VWs
jc0Fights weren’t simply decided by one’s strength. He understood through his experiences that there were more factors apart from strength.buQed9Z
YhiTAw“An owlbear approaching from the side. Use a fireball. Yuel, hold it back with tree roots. 1 second is enough.”tKz30Dc
1GvKUsing the low-grade spells of the support, he kept the beast in check. In just a matter of second with the owlbear stuck in place in a fluster, a spear accurately pierced through its neck.XFsAtUQ
G8Q97“Kieeek!”sn8K
a2ajCWithout getting greedy to end the life of the demonic beast, the man unhesitatingly retreated to his original position to protect his teammates.liT
BwuThere was an overwhelming number of demonic beasts. Even though none of them was over Grade 2, the sheer number of those monsters was enough to make Dorron nervous despite his experience.971U
YRRBesides, he could only use two magic swords right now. His experience as a mercenary told him that this party would definitely crumble in less than 30 seconds but…3y4F
ywvt6V‘It’s not crumbling.’xAMd
3JH4Q“Jaeger, don’t go too far! You’ll be surrounded!”Vi6am
CwKcR“Y, yeah!”zOl
mXu2FiIt was him.JDto
LA1The Grade 5 nobody who gave him trouble at the forest – a strange guy whose intention was hard to see through.uW7JeSg
5TSxIn this chaotic battlefield, he was the only one that remained calm. Without being repressed by the demonic aura of a Unique Grade demi-human and as if the roars of the bellowing demonic beasts were nothing, he stayed firm like a boulder.U7E4
ErtZ‘He’s just like the Captain.’9vyVbYI
HgxThat Grade 5 Knight was the one keeping this party alive. Like the veteran captain of the mercenary group, he was controlling both this party and the battlefield.y51
PRptoDoFighting, tactics and support… there was not a single thing he couldn’t do. Not only was he strong as an individual, but he was also like a veteran leader and a strategist.aqN
qWnu5How was that even a Grade 5 Knight? There must be something terribly wrong with this Academy’s grading test.o7tl6G
NLjFbp“Huuk…! Huuk…!”Jxuc
Rpa“Jaeger. Take 3 steps to the back.”DBNqU1
GGXSK“Huh? I, I’m still fine!”l4yWu
Aubl“There is no need to hurry. We can slowly reduce their numbers.”kFsd
taQ7rjd“But…”oiYVwv
96TEqzQJaeger turned his gaze over to the other side of the wave of monsters. He gasped for breath as his eyes displayed the fear he had for that fallen demon.5KdVTv
weNIEveryone in this place knew, that the fight would be in the favor of the enemy as soon as that unmoving demon moved itself.QRM
6vpOhaGThat was why they were in a hurry. Their trepidation was forcing them to move their bodies, with their brains telling them that they had to get rid of as many demonic beasts before that as possible.Ukq302M
qWrgnhBut the leader of the party, Korin Lork, was not swept away by it.nmRAS
sLKBDon’t hurry. Calm down. Step back.j8A
DSyXAlthough an attitude like that was something that every party leader needed to have, there were a bunch of them who couldn’t do anything similar to that. Despite the disadvantageous shift in the battle, he did not pant a single time nor was he devoured by the surrounding atmosphere.EDP2h
h9l“Yuel. Don’t do anything for the next 15 seconds. Otherwise, you’ll pull the aggro. The spirits can just cloud the vision of the demonic beasts.”ujiV
DRLZ“Lark. Fire three magic missiles to the front. Target the small ones that are trying to sneak in.”bcIAz
Qm2e1Q“Jaeger. Hold that big guy for as long as possible. Dorron. Strike that same guy on its head with the heavy iron sword while Jaeger is holding it back.”sonumuE
yYVYRHe was the only one that wasn’t showing any regard for the Unique Grade monster.P5mk
0nWlrZQIt was as if he was certain that she wouldn’t ever attack them. His composure and that unknown confidence was what allowed him to lead the party forward.dxtaxi
BLEhOXMBoth Dorron and Yuel were strong yet unique people, and yet he was skilfully controlling them as if he had fought with them multiple times already.GFQJ
oXMu8‘Even though I only have 2 swords now.’zH1
sWfDTA1The three swords that served as his main weapons were already broken. Even though Dorron was a user of flying swords, right now, he only had a normal Grade 4 magic sword and the heavy iron sword which could only be used for something simple like striking down from above.VFJ5E80
tBuDespite that handicap, Korin was giving him appropriate orders at the right timing.hrCwG
VicsBesides, he himself wasn’t weak either.8AE
iF32cvp– Kuwaaa!lbZ7c2
TP5xdeJ｢Six Ways of the Spear｣Mw8
F6jV｢Third Style, Trap and Stab｣4Bv
ScZZBy flexibly blocking the incoming attacks of the demonic beasts, he pierced through their weak points in an instant. All the monsters attacking Korin Lork were done in by that same pattern. That simple technique had been mastered under his hands and the beasts couldn’t do anything against him.vqn
YLpThe intricate techniques of a martial art were there to make others powerless if they didn’t know how to deal with them, and Korin was doing a wonderful job.cnvJSxb
uACv8LOn top of that, his spear was incredibly fast and heavy for a Grade 5 Knight and all the demonic beasts were oppressed under his spearmanship.iuddP
2bKOS6There was an enormous horde of demonic beasts under Grade 3, but it was nothing in front of a well-balanced party that was led by an experienced leader.2CQY
jrzB“That’s the last one!!”MdTCa
ardxXd“As I’ve said, don’t kill it!”4GP
M7p“I know!”MMqD8
l4Q“Kuwoooo…!”kEru
hIqw41Jaeger dashed into the roaring owlbear and struck down with his heavy mace.5dng7L
FG1GHe aimed it at the knee. After having its knee crushed in the blink of an eye, the owlbear collapsed, only to have its other leg also broken very soon.AfUCUR
4A0“Huhu. Is this enough, Korin?”YKZj
qKLHHa“You idiot. Come back.”1jTjsw
645jUs3Dorron rebuked him, who appeared to be under the impression that everything was over already. Everyone apart from Jaeger knew that this was only the beginning.pW7dTWK
RZq“Agh, ahh… Ughhh……”d7lBavF
ZvcA beastly groan echoed across the woods. They were all familiar with the senior who used to give them baked potatoes with a bright smile.35gdD
HtP“……She’s crying.”B0hvI
iFlYuel said while gazing at Marie who appeared to be weeping in the midst of all the blood. However, Dorron was unmoved.GN7Z0
fND“That doesn’t change anything. We will subjugate the demon.”4CGDG
g4rMuWDorron’s telekinesis and the acceleration spell were activated in the blink of an eye.bwCD
12KEciTThe heavy iron sword that had been floating in the air fell towards Marie’s head with the help of the acceleration and the gravitational force.SpP
kJE6r3F“Uah…?”IvnFp
GLvThe unfocused mage instinctively turned towards the sky, but it was too late.0iu
oNHg9t– Kwaang!GOTL
WBF48v4Backed up with enough gravity and acceleration, the heavy iron sword was both simple yet powerful at the same time.iVI888u
fqIFiZHAlthough it was made with cheap ingredients, the magic sword had a tremendous weight that made up for it. A clear strike with the sword was enough to drive Grade 1 demonic beasts unconscious but it was blocked by something.Eqh
owfcrnM“What?”qe4q
HQuK1It was blocked by something that scattered blood into the surroundings as if protecting Marie.o3J
JlqjVLx“A f, familiar?”0lq
JHZzR9The well-informed Lark was the first one to recognize it.95i22r5
2ffuYix“What do you mean?”af4u
x9Svh6R“A familiar formed from the blood of a vampire! How could a newly awakened vampire already have a familiar…?!”oTg
0d3XaKRFamiliar.7JBmq
UYdThey were the strongest level of summonings that were formed through the blood and mana of vampires. Even the weakest of them were at the level of a medium-grade elemental.edzCCtS
Q5juFWVThe familiars of old vampire elders were like the materialized forms of disaster.cWLJVz
E1fRKDConsidering how the creator was a Unique Grade vampire like Marie Dunareff, it was unthinkable what kind of ability that familiar would have.T4Qt
V48“There’s no need to be scared. It’s a baby that was just born with not enough blood and mana. Without the blood supply from its mother, the best it can do is probably block.”J3W
nIx“That would offset the biggest weakness of a mage though? That is definitely quite scary.”lfIu
BgBuzDorron gave a realistic comment but Korin replied with a nonchalant command.7T2qXKr
woc“It’s fine. Anyway, there will be a large AOE spell coming soon. Yuel, take out the thing we prepared.”HYL
Lu1S“Alright.”r39GRCU
nzQ– Ughhh…OsO
kjeA groan reverberated across as everyone turned towards Marie. The girl drenched in blood screamed in agony while wrapping her arms around her body, before suddenly emitting an explosive burst of mana.1OKNK
bLRSNe“…away.”pFLK9
wneiWThe mana was so heavy that it was suppressing the entire area. An unprecedented amount that should have been too enormous for an individual entity to have made the dimension wobble with its might.PEt
Otz“Go awayy…!!”OcPa
YUI❰Blood Bomb❱BxKKA
SfTDozens of blood drops budded in the air. It was nothing but a low-grade spell, but the sheer amount of it was enough to terrify its recipient.rL3HrO
VaV5jd“Yuel.”2ji
N8F“I, I, I know.”cNc0w
KmVUZdAs someone who had already experienced being bombarded by Marie, Yuel gulped while requesting aid from the trees of the forest. Her mana grew the trees in the blink of an eye that formed a defensive fortress in an instant.sEafSdu
eEVwTAdded with the blessings of the forest spirits, it became tougher than the thick walls of a castle.z8D
aieOSzIt was only possible because it was Yuel in the forest.J7uP4
6QW– Kwaaang!1azqi
dBvBombs of blood were poured out on the roots that were covering the party members. Those bombs that tainted its surroundings in blood struck the old trees, with each of them resulting in thunderous thuds that echoed through the entire world.P0BxZ
IzyB2“U, uahhk…! A, are you sure this is not going to break?”ZY1ZHK
DHT3Ua“D, don’t jinx it, Jaeger!”mnb
cNCNY“…”iYzhQJ
xmLQJaeger and Lark, as well as Yuel the Druid herself were all very uneasy, but Dorron silently stared at Korin.l6yJOjp
RB91“Huu…”daS
wG4w4He was calming his breath.bCzA
aiQjecGLike a beast ready to pounce at its prey.RMEoRZV
3DcQG“Yuel.”ZVhBM0c
5tvTi1B“Huuk… huuk… What is it?”eQ81
4bZUWEH“You’re about to reach your limit, right?”nKr
KQM6UOEven though she had only been using a small amount of mana until now while focusing on support, that defensive move just then had cost more than half of her entire mana pool.OazyqJ
kwmlHer chest, where the mana heart was located, was aching in pain. The injuries that she had gotten at the practical lesson were starting to ache again due to the excessive movement of her mana.JhNhf9
QazyAs a mage that needed to focus on theory and intuition, pain was a detrimental element that interfered with their casting process.Zg44By
U7wtfL“……And?”IezBH
7KaHowever, she still held her ground. Yuel also knew that she had to stand her ground here as much as possible.uaHHTu
KP6More than anything, this boy…VxX
AXelb“Everything’s going according to plan. The flow of the battle will be in our hands in less than 5 moves. So just hang in there for me.”E7RDd
uGk1This boy had made a ridiculous promise.duCD1P
XRny“Is that really possible?”0kdkR
RBplz“It is. Against the current Marie, that is. Dorron, Lark, Jaeger.”wthbZV
BjzEmThe party members gathered together. In front of their eyes was someone who seemed unbelievably peaceful despite being in the middle of cracking roots.STS
6oWOh****p5WSSK
rKJMeThe boss fight against Marie Dunareff the Vampire was divided into four phases.dN0
KYruU5Phase 1 consisted of the surrounding demonic beasts attacking the player party. After defeating all the demonic beasts, Marie would step up which marked the start of Phase 2.RRB3pak
s43SzZHWe had to reach Phase 4 all the way from Phase 2 in order to reach the final mechanic of the boss. Marie would never be on the full offense until the final phase, and would not even attack a single time in Phase 1.fMr
VaoThis was the same in both the game and the previous iteration.aaH
N7VSYRf“She’s coming. Lark. Fall back.”030IKF
SDmL7“I, I can still fight!”kK2E
Oc8“You can only use one or two more low-grade spells, right?”HzfN1st
NP6M“How did you know that?”8xF
15ILjylBecause I’ve been calculating it.LyOljzd
nFVr1vZ“You’ve been great. Yuel will join you in a while. Distance yourself as much as possible until then.”SXip
YcvWXx“…Alright.”GqHs
FzzaJZjLark separated himself from the fortress of trees and fell back as the Blood Bombs constantly raged at the defensive tree wall.nNoH0
Urr– Rumble!grGLlBO

JxT6oThe Blood Bombs were noisy but they weren’t anything serious. The real threats were the combination spells.T3XPIoZ

PQzdj❰Combination Spell – Frost❱n4T0
qJCa– Crack!w1dgF0
Kc0WDqAll the moisture within the layer of blood expanded and became fangs of a venomous snake that pierced through the wall. Like how waterdrops broke through a boulder after decades and centuries of repetition, the blood that seeped into the nook and cranny of those intertwined tree roots expanded all at the same time and destroyed the wall.O57IN
JRve1UNeedles of ice came raining at us like a rain of blood as soon as the wall was destroyed.YHWhQ
FuKw8UThe sheer number of them was absurd. It was an overwhelming difference in power that made resistance seem futile and the downfall of ice rain would drown us before we could even retaliate in any way.mOYPyw1
9WP1IHowever, we didn’t let that happen.g6A
gFo1t5E“Earth, the mother of crops and trees. A heap of ashes feeding the gods, bugs and the world.”iEaGB

GBc8XThe Ogham alphabets responded to the Druid’s prayer.LW3
TJbbxlAlthough I was the one that engraved them, only the pure-blooded druids were able to make them function as a miracle. That ancient alphabet, which was similar yet different from rune letters, morphed under Yuel’s prayer.zUaTo7
iKoIt was the strongest move of Yuel, the Druid of Avelorn, who would later become the next Sage of the forest, and was only obtainable towards the end of her storyline.frp
88ZI was making use of that knowledge to make her use it ahead of time.1FMouME
gSf3– Ruuumble!!kjsq9U4
nYZk1gkThe ground quaked. Lands shifted themselves up and down as thick veins appeared on top. The willows that had been growing for centuries gathered into a coarse cluster before turning into a large giant.SpV2E
6nobB“What the…”81f3jzJ
I5bEven the teammates were both flustered and confused.pMst
3wEEHThis enormous willow giant was none other than the Wicker Man – a thousand-year long secret move of the Sages of the forest, the spokesmen of nature and the race beloved by the forest.GYhZZnm
Fd2“It, it actually appeared…”8NCOfP
dnHEven the summoner herself was perturbed by the unbelievable miracle. After swallowing the surrounding cluster of dirt and trees, the monster raised its 14-meter tall body.Bia
KBLltiN“Jaeger…!”m4DWLFI
qwQZZ“Y, yeah!”baWBA5H
7iuAs we had planned beforehand, Jaeger grabbed on the captured owlbear with handicapped legs. Using the superior physique of a Knight, Jaeger held on the unmoving legs of the beast and rotated himself in circles before throwing it at the Wicker Man.gJZch
lRlaSO– Kuwooooo…!!!UZO
aQxhC6NThe owlbear landed inside the Wicker Man alongside a scream. It soon became the living sacrifice supporting the Wicker Man and was scorched by the flames surging inside the giant.7le21
eObXynWicker Man – a large tree golem weaved from branches. It was a magic golem that could move forever until the sacrifice inside its wooden prison was completely combusted into ashes.X35
x9IxRyo“Go. Wicker Man!”3hClk
vR88Along with the agonizing screams of the demonic beast, the Wicker Man turned ablaze as it advanced onward.7spe
JqUi4ApA falling squall of blood rain was pouncing at the Wicker Man but breaking a real boulder was not an easy feat for mere drops of blood.pkm
DrC5– Hwaruk!dKc
C0JrBesides, the flame burning inside the golem was setting both the Wicker Man and the rainfall ablaze.7emI

xShsAll the attacks that attempted to stop the giant were in vain. The large giant ignored those insignificant attacks so this time, gigantic walls popped up while trying to stop the giant in its tracks.GTWSeF
CtfIn response, the Wicker Man raised one of its arms and struck down with its burning fist.jXto
sQy1– Craaack!pPBmYDQ
rvW04trThe ice walls were shattered into fragments. Those walls could do nothing but buy a little bit of time against the colossal giant.VwvsY6
MWWuSon“Gaasp… Haah…!”P6kvQsC
NNWVBut at the same time, Yuel, who was controlling the burning willow giant, had to gasp and groan in pain.drl
5R2xdxThere was nothing that could be done though. The Wicker Man was supposed to be the final secret move of Yuel after she became the ‘Sage of the Forest’ near the end of her personal storyline.NrBa
PKxaxxcThe difference between a normal druid and the Sage of the forest was like that of heaven and the earth. Considering her current abilities, it was doubtful if she could maintain the Wicker Man for over a minute.E6o4AF
Fpsc94V“Yuel! Don’t stop! We’ll all die if you stop now!”vfeP
4PRwKSG“I, I know that!”oYZ
s1duThe Wicker Man advanced forward. After perhaps feeling threatened by that intimidating approach, Marie started focusing her mana.bwK
oZVBLAnswering her call, the air quivered around her. No-one was able to keep their mouths closed after seeing the water droplets rising all across the forest.hNFfv
Qsr3D“That’s impossible…”Zxuf
VmMIt was an extremely beautiful and marvelous show of power. It was as if she was the ruler of the entire forest.X03Yz
Tjk“How…”dCIO6hN
B39XfThey couldn’t comprehend the scene in front of their eyes in time, and I was the only one who did, thanks to having more knowledge than others. All the moisture in the air was heeding to her call.C0Qj
q7F❰Combination Spell – Blood Ice❱e5Oz
7c5OrsSBloodstained shards of ice formed with her amplified mana flared across the air and covered the ground, before speeding at the Wicker Man through the dense trees.m2Q9QQ
utrCBK– Crackkk!sQ2Ht
MGHnyThe fragments changed into one crimson spear of ice and pierced through the Wicker Man. However, the Wicker Man was a structure and not an organism, and thus did not falter despite the hole in its body.uf2GrN
pfj6– Guuuwoooooo—!!y7D0Xfs
jxpTrOEven larger flames soared out of the Wicker Man along with the piercing scream of the sacrificed beast, as it attempted to melt the ice that was restricting its movement.Bbz0GG
CYEQv9It was a battle between the blood-coloured ice and a scorching blaze. Even though the victor should be obvious, the ridiculous amount of mana forced a turn of events that deviated from common sense.6SHR3q
mZJ“That’s impossible!”EwAZhQ
oD88z1wBucket-loads of water poured out from the spear of ice that was melting due to the parching flame.GYQ
Bjj4AKONormally, the destruction of the spear of ice should have decided the victor, but Marie’s spear was still being supplied with both mana and moisture.ST1Uza
S7kLbX– Chiiiiikk!EM6dG
PbJXhcAt last, the bucket-loads of water that was gushing out of the melting spear extinguished the flames of the Wicker Man.IX6y
