Trick or Trap! (4)

The commanders gritted their teeth as they gazed at the 2,000 troops of Allendia.

“Do you think we’ll make the same mistake twice?”

This time, after finding out where they were, some chased after the detached troops, and some fired air shells at the Wyvern.

It was an impeccable response.

At that moment, various fireworks sprang up from them. It was Genovia’s magic.

Red, purple, and blue bullets.

That was a signal.

-Return to your positions and keep the siege intact.

‘You want us to stop the chase?’

‘Can we do that?’

She meant to let the enemy go.

Frustrated, the commanders followed the order. Thanks to that, they missed the rest of the Allendia forces completely.

The only ones left were the silver-maned Wyvern and incarnation’s party.

Turning over the battlefield, Effir wondered.

“That’s too easy.”

Artis felt the same.

“You don’t even want to go after us? No matter how selfless people are, it can’t be this much.”

The winds blew stronger.

The shaking air currents soon swirled and turned into dozens of vortexes.

Whirlwinds soared throughout the sky like pillars of steel.

Boom!

They knew they would fall if they got caught by those. Leon Hart issued an urgent order.

“It’s a spell of the Archmage! Get out of its range!”

“Yes!”

Effir zigzagged between the whirlwinds quickly.

At the same time, a huge light burst from the enemy’s main camp.

Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Soon, a huge Black Dragon appeared.

It was too far away to be confirmed by the Guideline, but they could guess how strong it was just by looking at its energy.

It had to be level 140 to release that much energy.

The Thunder King and the Archmage climbed on its back.

Garhan spoke.

“Your turn, Manakiras.”

The Ancient Black Dragon spread her wings wide. The giant beast then flew into the air, creating a gale.

“After them.”

* * *

A region of thunderstorms with frantic whirlwinds.

The Wyvern escaped, swiftly maneuvering through it, as the giant Black Dragon followed her.

Looking back, Ryu Han-bin wondered.

“Are they going after us this time?”

Only the Thunder King and the Archmage were on the Black Dragon’s back. There wasn’t anyone else.

Leon Hart shook his head.

“No way.”

Indeed, it was as he said.

Allied forces of the Kaldris and the Mado Kingdom were spread all over the battlefield.

Light shot up continuously throughout a wide range.

Faaaaaaaaa!

Dozens of beams soon revealed colossal Dragons.

All of the Ancient Dragons belonging to the Upper Draconium had revealed themselves.

“Growl!”

Releasing roars, they laid their wings on the floor, and, seemingly practiced in advance, knights quickly climbed on their backs.

Carrying twenty or thirty people each, they soared into the sky.

Dozens of Ancient Dragons began to flutter and slide through the storm.

It was a magnificent sight.

Genovia smiled, gloating.

“There was a reason why I let them rest.”

The reason for putting a reasonable force on standby was to ensure they could go where they needed to be at the right time.

Carrying 1,000 of the finest troops, they displayed a full fleet of Dragons!

Dozens of Dragons formed an armada and flew through the storm region. Just that alone caused roars everywhere.

Woong Woong Woong Woong!

The target was a Wyvern that was retreating from the battlefield quickly.

Effir shone as she saw the army of Ancient Dragons rushing from all sides.

“They don’t all have Anti-Polymorph Necklaces, do they?”

Then we can humanize most of them back!

Effir was about to turn around.

Leon Hart urgently stopped her.

“No!”

“What? Why?”

“If you turn, you’ll lose that much speed! The Thunder King and the Archmage will catch up!”

Even now, Manakiras, carrying Garhan and Genovia, was chasing Effir at full speed. And they were constantly obstructing her flight by laying within a few kilometers of the storm zones’ radius.

There was no difference in speed between Effir and Manakiras.

“Polymorph Necklace has a range of 20 meters.”

Garhan murmured as he chased while maintaining his distance.

“We’d appreciate it if you could come near us to use it.”

To neutralize that necklace, Genovia created a separate anti-magic magic tool.

But Garhan had a different idea.

“Why would its power matter if we can get rid of the use situation itself?”

At that moment, Han-bin’s party had only one option.

Leon Hart shouted.

“Keep running! That’s the only way for now!”

* * *

The moon and stars often illuminated the clear night sky.

At that moment, however, it was filled with dark clouds and gusts of wind. Vortexes surged, explosions flashed, and countless destruction followed.

Boom!

The Wyvern flew through it all.

“Ugh!”

Gritting her teeth, Effir flapped her wings frantically.

Genovia was chasing her using the Black Dragon Manakiras. Her calamitous spell also continued to follow them.

Due to the storm, it was hard for even Effir to speed up.

However, the Ancient Dragons of Upper Draconium were not affected by it.

They were big and heavy. Though they had high levels, they couldn’t fly faster than Effir.

However, the influence of the winds on them was relatively weak.

A light speedboat could travel through the sea quickly, but the wave shook it.

Large sailboats, on the other hand, could cope with heavy winds on their own.

Glancing at the dozens of Ancient Dragons that followed, Genovia murmured.

“The speedboat is still a little faster.”

A magic formation appeared around her.

“Unless something attacks it from behind.”

Heatwaves and light beams, each powerful enough alone for her to be shot down, constantly flew through the wide-ranged spell.

“Ugh…”

Effir grumbled, avoiding the offensive.

“Is it just me, or am I the only one suffering these days?”

The other party assuaged her diligently.

“It’s not just you.”

“You’re going through a lot.”

“But if you don’t, you’ll die.”

“… Is that meant to be comforting?”

Despite the grumbling, Effir sped up even more.

If she didn’t, she would die. How could she argue with them?

“Yaaaaah!”

* * *

With his arms crossed, Garhan talked to himself.

“How long will she be able to escape?”

He didn’t mean to repeat Hollien’s mistake. Hence, he had been patient even though the bait continued to lure him.

However, he did not intend to let her disappear. It was an exercise in futility.

Regardless, to capture the incarnation of darkness, shouldn’t he chase her?

“There’s nothing to worry about with this much force, no matter what traps they’ve dug up.”

There were as many as 40 Dragons over level 110, carrying a total of 1,000 soldiers on their backs.

Not only that, but the soldiers’ lowest level was 80 or higher.

Garhan had chosen only the best of the Kaldris and the Mado kingdom, leaving the Aliens out on purpose.

He was not foolish enough to bring men he couldn’t expect loyalty from in such an important mission.

“What do you think?”

Genovia nodded at Garhan’s question.

“That Wyvern is getting out of hand.”

Not only she but also other Ancient Dragons were launching a ranged offensive sequentially. Thanks to this, a huge curtain of fire was forming around the Wyvern.

Boom!

“Honestly, it’s a miracle that the Wyvern has avoided every attack so far.”

Eventually, their winged opponent began to lower her altitude to avoid the offensive.

She folded her wings and went down to the ground. Dozens of Ancient Dragon followed her.

Between the dark mountain ranges, the sunken basin terrain was revealed through the clouds.

Garhan smirked.

“It’s a good terrain to set up traps.”

He didn’t know what kind of traps there might be, but it didn’t matter what would happen.

He gave a signal to the Dragons around him.

“Go after her.”

The incarnation’s party disappeared inside the basin.

Along the way, the Ancient Dragons of Upper Draconium began to scatter.

Once they put down the troops, they flew back up then slowly exited the basin.

They constituted aerial and ground sieges throughout the area.

Genovia was gloating.

“That should be enough.”

At that moment, it was no longer viable for them to maneuver and prepare for any powerful traps.

She studied all of Latna’s magic and seal, which allowed her to reach a conclusion.

Throughout all the magic that ever existed in history, there was no trick to upset this power difference.

She could affirm in honor of the strongest Mage on earth.

“Well, since she is the incarnation of a Goddess, she might have mobilized wisdom that isn’t allowed to the mortals…”

There was no possibility of that either.

“If there was such a trick, would they have come to this situation? They must push us all the way.”

It was a completely dominant siege.

In the meantime, the level 141 Ancient Dragon slowly descended.

The giant Black Dragon landed in the center of the basin, and the Thunder King and the Archmage gently set foot on the ground.

In the middle of the place was a shabby mountain village.

There was no light at all, and the darkness was so thick that it seemed to have been deserted for quite some time.

At the mouth of the village, the incarnation’s party was seen.

Garhan, the Archmage, and Manakiras slowly walked towards them.

Gradually, the distance between the two sides became shorter until, finally, even in the darkness of the night, they saw each other’s faces.

Genovia gave a hardened look at the black-haired beauty standing among them.

“Kybriel.”

* * *

“Garhan and Genovia.”

In a serious tone, Kibie spoke.

“This is how we meet again, after all.”

Garhan wondered.

The incarnation’s expression was a little different from what he had expected. At least she didn’t look desperate at all.

“Looks like you’ve got something ready for us.”

He was curious.

“What are you going to do now?”

Standing in front of them were the absolute powers: Thunder King Garhan, Archmage Genovia, and a level 141 Ancient Dragon.

A little away from them, four Ancient Dragons with Anti-Polymorph Necklaces guarded each side with 1,000 level 80 to 90 elite troops.

Beyond that, as many as 40 Ancient Dragons patrolled the skies, spreading an impenetrable siege.

“I’m really curious. What the hell can you do to defeat us?”

Kibie, who was staring at the sarcastic Garhan, replied strangely.

“I’ve been thinking a lot.”

“Hmm?”

“About what to do to lure you away and set you up.”

She had mobilized the wise men of the Churches to work out all kinds of tricks and tactics until she reached a conclusion.

“None.”

Such a scheme could not have existed in the first place.

How could she lure those who were already determined and prepared?

“Still, one thing is certain.”

At that moment, a smile of repentance came to Kibie’s lips.

“With the army in tow, you’ll fall into a trap even though you know it is a trap.”

The incarnation of darkness, who descended to the ground with fierce eyes, lifted her long spear.

“I finally got you, you traitors!”
