149-Episode 17: Behind the Back




 I - the wizard Magnus - breathed in a lung full of the heavy moisture and air of war while being hit by the terrible rain shower.

 In the dark forest of Terralwalt, a muddy war had begun.
 Amidst the torrential rain that made it difficult to keep your eyes open, the Golem Legion and the Chimera Legion clashed with each other.

 The Six-Arm Grizzly stands there like a champion of the forest.
 The Shadow Panther leaps from the tree tops.
 A mutant worm suddenly appears from the depths of the earth and bares its fangs.
 And from the skies, reinforcements such as gryphons and wyverns attack one after another.

 The Stone, Iron, and Silver Golems, commanded by Sharon and the others, solemnly return fire to these fearsome Chimaira.
 The Gradius Mk-II that I lent them stands in the vanguard of the battle and works like a lion.

 But--
 Like the rainfall that was getting stronger by the minute, the Golem Legion was visibly getting outnumbered.
 In the first place, the advantage of the ground lies with the enemy.
 The dense forest is the territory of the magical beasts.
 On the other hand, the big-bodied golems are restricted by the trees.
 In addition, this heavy rain.
 The ground was muddy, and the golems were trapped by their own weight, sinking to the ground.

 If this continues, we'll be forced to run for our lives sooner or later.
 No.........
 Furthermore, with this foothold, it was unlikely that the slow-moving golem army would be able to escape.
 All of them would be annihilated.

 We must counterattack.
 We must counterattack and give these chimera an effective and thorough blow.

 But a fire gauge won't do the trick.
 I'm not going to be able to get my hands on them.
 They thought we were going to use the fire-gasometer, so they took countermeasures.
I'm sure it's the "rainmaker" described in the strategy book. Perhaps they were waiting for a witch who could make it rain.

 Just as you would expect from them, and not even they know it!

Are you ready, gentlemen?

 Pauli gave a command to the Demonic Firepower Support Unit with a strangely well-polished and calm voice amidst the sound of this heavy rain.

''Haha!''

 All the troops under his command responded with a loud voice that was stronger than the sound of rain.
 And then all at once, they took out the magic catalyst inside the bag.

I'm not talking about the Fire Lizard Tongue, but the Fire Lizard Tongue, which amplifies the power of the fire system for a single time.
A mithril coin that only increases the power of the Thunder system for a single time.

Tilt-har-un-del-e-rhen!

 All of them simultaneously chanted the Series I and Series II "Thunder" and shot at the monster beasts.
 Roar! Roar! Roar!
 And a torrent of extreme flashes of light.
 The countless serpentine lightning strikes the monster beasts and electrocutes them.
 It's also raining heavily.
 The drenched animals have their resistance to the lightning attribute debuffed.
 That's what is known as the providence of the universe.

 That's why the magic catalyst strengthens the lightning magic.
 The magical resistance of the magical beasts weakened by heavy rain.
 The simultaneous arson by the directly controlled magic fire support unit overwhelmed the witch's attendants in an interesting way.

''Tilt-ha-un-del-e-ren!

 And I'm going after Thunder IV myself!
The Mithril Coin can only amplify the power of Type II magic.
 I'm not going to be able to get a magic catalyst that can amplify type IV magic, only a level 30 or so witch or alchemist can create one, and it's virtually impossible to obtain one.
 Therefore, I'm the only one who doesn't use a magic catalyst - well, there's no need for one.
 With a crowd of magical beasts at this level, and with their resistance debuffed, I can eradicate all the enemies within the range of my Thunder IV with a single blow.

 The magic firepower support unit under my direct control also fired two and three simultaneous thunders, demonstrating the full extent of their combat power.
 Everyone has prepared a sachet full of Mithril coins, so there's no need to be stingy with them.
 I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to do anything about it.
 She was determined to get praise from Pauli!

I'm gonna go through the motions in one fell swoop.
""Ha!"

 Under my command, all the troops under my command chant the spell at once.
 I chant along with them and fire a new Thunder IV along with everyone else.
 The magical beasts that were exposed to the fury of the thunder were in turmoil.
 Aside from their lack of intelligence, the magical beasts they use must be stunned by now.
 After all, they thought we were coming with a fire gauge, so they made it rain and thought they had it coming. How does it make them feel to know that the plan we were preparing was a lightning strike with mithril coins?
 With Ellis Barlack, "How did this happen! And that's what you're trying to wrap your head around?
 Hahaha!
 It's funny to imagine it, isn't it!
