Part Two: The Human World Chapter Thirty-Four: The Creativity of Wisdom: Killing
The howl of the wyvern sounded in the sky. Asa looked up and saw two shadows that seemed to be the size of bats slowly hovering around him in the sky.
Asa secretly screamed that something was not good. After leaving the army, a lone rider was undoubtedly the perfect target for attack. When he first left the general's army, he carefully tried to hide his traces in the woods, but he didn't see any traces in the past few days.
Unexpectedly, when we were about to reach Brakada, we encountered the shadow of a wyvern, and there were two of them.
With a howl, one of the two-legged flying dragons began to swoop down towards him. In the blink of an eye, the figure of the flying dragon grew larger and larger under the sunlight, and even from a distance of tens of meters, one could feel the fishy wind coming towards his face.
Asa dismounted from his horse and started to stir uneasily.
Although he was not actually a scout of the imperial army, he seemed to have no time to explain based on the situation. Asa carefully watched the flying dragon's swooping trajectory, seized the opportunity, stretched out his hand, and flew out with a fireball.
His timing was very good, and he accurately calculated the frequency of the flying dragon's wings and the momentum of its dive. This kind of timing is unmatched by any magician. Only warriors can have this feeling cultivated in close combat.
And only the lowest level spells like fireball can be condensed and emitted in an instant. This is why Asa always likes to use this basic spell. There is no need for incantations or condensed magic resonance. It is simple and direct, and you can seize the opportunity at any time.
Attack. Moreover, the power of his fireball is by no means comparable to that of any low-level magician. It can be used as a high-level attack magic. Even such a huge monster cannot withstand a single blow.
Seeing that the fireball was about to hit the flying dragon's chest, suddenly the fireball seemed to be moved by an invisible hand, and its trajectory was deflected. The fireball passed by the flying dragon. The flying dragon was probably injured.
Startled, he gave a cry, flapped his wings and turned back to fly high into the sky.
Before Asa could be surprised, he immediately saw an even more surprising sight. A small black dot suddenly separated from another bat-like shadow high in the sky, and then began to fall. Of course, that was not true.
Instead of a bat, it was the image of a huge bipedal flying dragon high in the sky, and this separated black spot seemed to be a person. The person actually took the initiative and jumped down from an altitude of a thousand meters with grace.
This person obviously did not use any magic to decelerate the landing, such as flying through the air. As he fell faster and faster, getting closer and closer to the ground, he became a blurry black shadow under the rapid fall. It was hard to see what was going on.
Asa was a little stunned when he saw it. At such a high altitude, even if this person was made of fine steel, he would only be smashed into a pile of rags on the rocks in the highlands. If it were flesh and blood, the result would be similar to watermelons and tomatoes.
.
Before Asa could finish being surprised, the black shadow had already fallen to the ground not far ahead.
There was an earth-shattering loud noise. It was as if the entire wild highland was shaken by the impact. Debris flew everywhere, and the rocky surface collapsed like crispy bread, leaving a large crater. Asa stared at the dust in front of him in shock, and retreated continuously.
It took several steps to stand firm. It was like a thunder flying down from the nine heavens with the power of the wrathful god of heaven.
"If you don't want to die, just stand there and don't act rashly." The voice was not loud, but it was cold and majestic. It was as awe-inspiring as the huge power of the fall. In the center of the smoke-filled pit, a figure was slowly falling.
Stand up from a half-squat position.
"Is it you?" The smoke dispersed, and the man who fell from the sky walked onto the ground and recognized Asa. His tall and slightly thin body seemed to be a perfect sculpture made of countless essences. He was elegant and yet elegant.
A face that is clear-cut and resolute.
Asa nodded slowly: "I should have thought that the only one who could survive like this is you." Even if he couldn't remember this appearance, he would never forget this almost invincible power and magnanimity. That was Commander Ou
The general of Futou's orc army, Gru.
On the flying dragon, Asa listened to the wind whistling in his ears. The trees below were like small grasses. The horse he was riding had become as big as a bug. At a glance, it seemed that he could see the vast wild highlands.
Looking back, Asa sat on a special shelf and reached out to touch the back of the flying dragon. It was covered with large lizard-like scales. He could feel the powerful muscles underneath moving. Although he knew that he would never be able to
Even though I can afford it, I still can't help but ask: "It's great to use this thing as a mount. Can you sell me one?"
"It took three years, the lives of more than a dozen lizardmen, the investment of energy, financial resources and manpower to count, and now only four have been tamed. How much do you think one is worth?" General Gru's words were concise and powerful.
"How can such a treasure Cedros be sold? It is really unparalleled in its use for transportation and reconnaissance and sneak attacks. Even the most advanced air magician's flying skills cannot compare with this big guy with wings. And in terms of combat effectiveness
"Even ten griffons probably can't compare. It's a shame that he wants to raise such a thing." The old man sitting in front of Asa said. Asa could see that the old man was very accomplished in air magic. He
Sitting in the front, even during such a fast flight, the surrounding wind speed did not blind people's eyes, and everyone's words could be heard clearly.
A middle-aged man next to him looked at Asa and said: "Young people's magic is very good. Just a fireball can be so powerful." He pointed to the old man behind. "If it hadn't been for the teacher's quick action just now,
, Mr. Cedros’s treasure suffered.”
"Oh?" Asa was a little surprised and asked: "So who are you..."
"We are all magicians from the Tower of Teeth." The middle-aged man also pointed to a few people on another bipedal flying dragon and replied. "Young man, are you from the Ironfast Empire? You look like you are dressed like this
He's from the Magic Academy."
"I am a priest in the army for the time being." Asa replied, taking a closer look at these magicians. The Tower of Fang is a place similar to a magician's guild in the religious country in the southwest of the empire. It is different from the magic academy, although it is purely
It is a non-governmental organization that has nothing to do with the country, but it is composed of very high-level magicians of various elements and is very famous among adventurers.
"Young people's magic is very interesting. Are you interested in coming to our place and studying it together?" the middle-aged man said to Asa.
"Don't poach. A young man with such potential must be a disciple of Bishop Ronnis." The old man said. "But young man, have you been to our place? Why do you look like you are here?"
Where have I seen..."
"Ah? You remember wrongly. My appearance is very ordinary, and I look similar to many people." Asa responded vaguely. He knew that this must be the effect of the wanted order from the elves.
The original journey of several days passed in just half a day on the high speed of the flying dragon. Asa also saw the army led by the general on the road. From a high altitude, it looked like a large group of ants. At dusk, these two flying dragons
Feilong sent their group to Oufu.
Cedros welcomed these magicians warmly and greeted them happily. He was also surprised when he saw Asa.
"I saw a lone soldier, and I just wanted to arrest him and interrogate him about the situation of that unit, but unexpectedly I caught him," General Grew said.
After listening to Asa's words, Cedros shook his head regretfully and said: "I didn't expect that such a situation would happen. A person's emotional loss would lead to such consequences. It's a pity for those five thousand innocent young soldiers."
"You can't say they are innocent," Asa said. He now felt an indescribable disgust towards the fanaticism of those warriors. "They also came willingly."
Cedros shook his head and said calmly: "Don't say that. Young people don't know how to see the essence of things clearly, so they are naturally easily deceived by others and carried away by passion. It is really a pity to seek death for these unnecessary reasons.
."
The leading old magician asked: "Is this why you invited us here? But you don't think that just a few of us air magicians can stop five thousand soldiers."
"It's not blocking." Cedros smiled helplessly and corrected. "It's killing them. People who are crazy about anger and hatred, even if they leave their lives and let them go back, they will only spread more hatred.
"This kind of emotion will not do any good, no matter who it is." He took a deep breath and concluded again. "So for the sake of long-term peace, we must kill them all." He turned to look at Asa.
."This is our decision. I still want to ask you...what do you think we should do?"
Asa frowned and thought for a while, only to feel an unparalleled sense of boredom. He shook his head, sighed, and said softly: "I'll kill you."
"What exactly do you want to do?" asked an air magician.
Cedros took something out of his pocket. It was a round piece of glass, thick in the middle and gradually thinning at the edges. "This was given to me by a dwarf craftsman before. It's really a wonderful thing.
I discovered some very interesting phenomena here." He looked up at the sky and said, "Tomorrow and the next two days will be sunny and windless."
Asa and several magicians faced each other, not knowing what he wanted to say.
the next day.
good weather.
The general looked up at the dazzling sun. It was a good weather for fighting. The fresh air of the plateau and the burning sun shining on the skin would make those who fought passionately more excited and braver. The orc named Oufu
The city is not far away.
Since that night, the orcs have been completely silent, and the flying dragons have only occasionally appeared in the sky. The soldiers have become more motivated because of the timidity of these orcs. Although the general knows that there should be a turbulent undercurrent behind this calmness,
But he just knew that, and his dead heart would no longer be distracted by other things. He just wanted to rush and fight, hear the wailing of the orcs, and feel the fur and bones being broken under his axe.
Shattered and died gloriously. These are what he devoted all his energy to. When he started to choose this path, he knew that there was no turning back. He never considered victory, failure, or the five thousand
The fate of a soldier.
"There is a small group of orcs ahead." During the march, the soldiers at the front discovered the target and reported immediately.
The general shouted in his loud and rich voice: "Fighters, the time has come to show our courage and sword for our honor and the hatred of our nation. Kill them all."
The soldiers responded with a roar like a wild beast and rushed forward like hungry wolves.
The small orc army began to escape, but ran very slowly. The soldiers shouted and chased, and gradually they caught up to a piece of flat land. In front of them stood a series of hills unique to the wild highlands. There were no connections around them, they just stood on the same spot.
A large rock rises very high.
The sky suddenly became dark, and the originally dazzling sunlight suddenly disappeared from the field of vision. General He looked up and saw that the sky above his head was shrouded by a huge shadow. It was not a cloud, nor any other tangible thing, that
It was just a pure shadow. The general had never seen anything so weird before. One side of the shadow was next to the huge rock in front, and it looked like a weird and huge hat on the top of the hill in the sky.
In the midst of the soldiers' shouts full of fighting spirit, a burst of screams that were as high as human beings could make suddenly appeared. This scream was so sharp that it split the passionate shouts of killing into two.
There is no other emotional meaning in this voice, it seems to be just for the sake of screaming, a scream that is instinctive, a scream that wants to tear one's body apart. Once this sound pierces the ears of the same kind, it will immediately arouse
Instinctively fearful, even the general was no exception. The general turned around and saw an incredible sight.
A dazzling circular light curtain wandered among the group of soldiers behind. Everything that could burn within the scope of the light curtain burned in an instant. The soldiers' hair, leather armor, boots, belts, and clothes,
Even skin... But these flames looked completely weak, almost invisible. Even the dark things in the dazzling light curtain reflected dazzling light spots, drowning the color of the flames.
The air was full of burnt stench. Everyone stared at the dazzling light in horror, trying to identify what it was, but it was just light, pure light. Starting from the huge shadow in the sky,
A funnel-shaped light curtain gradually shrank, and then the tip of the funnel fell on the soldiers.
Sunshine. This is the only thing that the soldiers under this funnel of light can feel.
The light that originally illuminated everything and gave warmth and life was now so strong. Even if you closed your eyes and covered your eyes with your hands, you couldn't resist it. The soldiers' eyes were all blinded in an instant, as if they felt they had received enough.
All the light you deserve in this life.
This incomparable brilliance directly penetrated their bodies. All the nerves on the skin boiled under this light, twitched, and hurt. The pain was sharp and huge enough to pierce the soul, making them scream with all the remaining power in their lives.
and roaring. Then they smelled the burnt smell emanating from their bodies and heard their muscles cracking like fried beans under the high temperature.
The sun, something that has always been so amiable and admirable, made everyone present feel terrified for the first time. Only then did they realize that this sphere that is visible every day is so huge and so powerful that it is unpredictable. Everything
Things looked extremely weak in the outpouring of heavenly power. Human bodies, horses, and objects all became an indistinguishable mass of darkness after the light. Only some swords were still glowing red, releasing the heat they had just received.
The soldiers' fighting spirit and courage just now disappeared in an instant under the mysterious power of heaven. All that was left was fear. They began to flee in all directions. But the light curtain enveloped them at an incomparable speed.
Burn them and roast them.
The general was angry and furious, and he roared meaninglessly. He could not be afraid to retreat, so he could only transform all his emotions into fanatical anger and fighting spirit. He waved his ax and roared towards the two hills in front.
, he could see a few figures there, and this was what those figures were up to. He was going to use his anger to turn these troublemakers into flesh.
But he was immediately bathed in this incomparable brilliance, and his eyes immediately turned dark, and he could hear two weak explosions coming from his own eyes.
The severe pain all over his body that should be beyond the limit of human endurance could not conceal his brave fighting spirit. He continued to shout and rush forward, but he could already hear his strong muscles drying up quickly one by one.
, making a crackling sound.
I'm going to die like a warrior... He thought crazily. But even the last remaining thought that seemed to be extremely strong was shattered by the light. With a bang, his head exploded
The boiling brain, eyes, and blood spurted out of the body, and then immediately turned into a charred mass of death along with his body. He fell down.
The last body that was still moving fell down and turned black under the irradiation of this light. With the sound of airflow hitting in the sky, the shadow disappeared, and the light curtain also disappeared. The wild highlands returned to peace.
, the sun spreads its light to every part of the earth without partiality as usual, including the scorched blackness of that place.
Asa stood on the top of the mountain, looking down at the twisted and charred bodies on the ground. Those charred limbs looked like burnt branches. Only the withered black heads connected to them exposed their white teeth, which made people feel sure.
I know what it is. A few minutes ago, there were five thousand young people who were full of life and vigor, shouting with high morale.
The screams in those few minutes will never be forgotten by anyone who heard them. It was the most piercing and painful tone that a living thing can make.
The air was full of burning stench, and Asa knew that even if he ate bugs, drank raw blood, and even swallowed live animals in the wild, he might never eat barbecue for a long time from now on.
Standing in the center of the magic circle, Cedros put down his hands that had been raised high and sighed feebly. He didn't know if controlling this magic made him exhausted.
"It's really amazing, being able to combine the air magic of so many people to control the air flow." A younger magician looked at the magic circle at his feet and sighed. "It can also be manipulated freely, using the air flow to cause the refraction of light to kill and injure people.
, this is so creative. It’s a masterpiece.”
Cedros snorted coldly, looked at his work on the ground and shook his head disdainfully. His voice was full of fatigue: "It's just a killing thing. It's nothing special."
"Amazing. Amazing." A burst of warm applause sounded from the skinny palms of several necromancers.
A necromancer carefully looked at the magic circle in the crystal ball and praised: "It's amazing. It can be named the most creative magic award of the year. I don't know whether he should be classified as light magic or air magic."
"I killed five thousand people with the sun. This old man is better than us. We at least have to use magic to throw it on people. He can actually control the air pressure." Another necromancer said with a wink.
"The magic circle is well drawn and controlled better. Although the little trick of controlling wind pressure is not great in itself, there may be no one who can control it as well as him. But... according to this method, then
Isn’t it true that there is no army that can be an enemy of his city-state?”
"It's just bullying that there are no magicians in other people's troops. As long as someone can see through this trick, just use air magic to interfere. But it's really hard to see through the hard-headed magicians of the academy sect."
"Hey, hey, hey. Everyone has seen it. Indeed, not a single orc has died." A very energetic necromancer clapped, attracting everyone's attention. "To the noble Ms. Vidnina and that gentleman.
Mark two points. And... Let’s celebrate that we are about to have two new members. This is a rare event in our Diya Valley for a hundred years.”
