SPELLCRAFT: Reincarnation Of A Magic Scholar

Chapter 855 Final Clash [Pt 2]

?

Neron took in a deep breath as he watched Jared leak out a malevolent grin while glaring at Ciel.

'As expected, they think this is Lady Ciel's doing.'

So far, they had kept most of their individual ability and growth hidden from Jared and his forces. They knew very little about their group, so the most likely choice of attack was Ciel. She had been seen as the powerhouse of the group for so long now.

However, Neron was waiting for something else. Something he knew Jared would soon ask him.

"Where is that new member of yours? The one with the blue hair."

'I knew he would eventually ask about him. Thankfully he doesn't seem to know anything about our Jared.'

If he did, he wouldn't think Ciel was the perpetrator behind the multiple portals and their army. Based on his calculations, Jared and his forces would concentrate their abilities on stopping Ciel.

'We'll have to use formation B, after all.'

"I don't know what you're talking about." Neron answered with a shrug.

"Liar. It's obvious. By the way, how were you able to build all these Golems? I doubt the Outers have any industrial site to use for constructing… ah, wait… I see now…"

Neron decided to keep quiet and let Jared's imagination run wild.

"Why didn't I notice it before? Kukuku… So that's how it is."

The answer was pretty simple, but Neron couldn't allow himself to be a wet blanket. He too was curious about what Jared would say.

"You and the Midas Race have been collaborating for a long time, haven't you? Yeah, that makes sense. You attack our bases and factories, steal materials and blueprints, and then give the Midas Empire to build these things on a large scale. Considering how long the Outgroup has existed and started their insurgence activities, that makes sense…"

Neron's smile widened as he shrugged. "Who knows? Maybe."

"You can't hide the truth from me, Neron. You think you have the upper hand? We shall see."

'Well…' So far, things had mostly gone according to plan. All the Outgroup had to do was ensure they saw things through to the end.

"We're at the climax, everyone. The final battle between good and evil. The fate of this world rests on our shoulders."

The moment Neron said this, everyone around him stiffened, and their expressions turned serious.

"This is the most important fight of our lives. Let's give it our all." He glanced at the Outers who were with him.

Not all the members were present, but he still gave his warm smile to everyone he saw. Some were already dead, while others were carrying out other missions. It was a shame they couldn't all be here for the final showdown, but…

"... Let's make sure to kick ass for the sake of all our comrades!"

And then, in a loud battle cry that resounded with excitement, the Outgroup commenced their final clash.

>BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!<

In mere moments, the battle became a complete and utter mess.

First, it started with the sudden appearance of the Ultimate Golem Of Destruction, Hugo, and his equally malevolent partner, the Ultimate Automaton, Gawain—both on the side of Jared and his evil empire.

Their sudden appearance and charge over Jared's soldiers commenced the clash between both sides, wreaking havoc and chaos on everything around.

In a flash, the entire capital became a swirling mess of nothing but destruction.

A good number of the Automatons scattered around in order to protect the powerless people who were around—paying more emphasis on evacuation, in order to prevent any casualty.

The rest of the Outgroup's forces focused on fending off the enemy's resistance. Since they were mostly machines, their destruction wasn't problematic. However, for the ones who were sentient beings, they did their best to render them unconscious or immobile rather than kill them.

In such a battle of utter anarchy, with the brunt of the attacks meant to target Ciel, the Outgroup executed their strategy which forcefully diverted the full force of Jared's army.

Executing Formation B of their strategy, each Outgroup member selected their targets, deciding to go after them so as to occupy them, reducing the number of enemies focused on Ciel.

In no time at all, the plan was implemented, and the Outers split from each other in order to catch their designated prey.

Division wasn't usually advisable in a team, but this was mandatory.

"Tch… so I'm stuck with you, huh? I'll make this quick." The Beast King, Gerard growled at his opponent.

The young man with long auburn hair, who chose this particular opponent on purpose, smiled as he gave him a gentle gaze.

"You caused my friend a lot of suffering. I'll make sure I pay you back in full… for Vaizer."

"Bitch, do you really think you stand a chance against me?!" Abellion said, glaring at the other Demon in front of him with contempt.

"Shut up! Traitors like you have no right to speak." Karlia responded, forming a fist already. "I'll pummel you to death."

***

"I suppose I'll handle the big Golem. Hugo, is it?" Z'ark smiled as he watched the massive construct trod along. "What about you?" He stared at Kido.

"I think I'll just help out where I can." The golden-haired Midas answered, looking very carefully in the direction of Kuzon.

"I might be needed soon…"

***

"So, you're the one I'm fighting." Elrich smiled as he watched the very leader of the Outgroup approach him. "Isn't this unfair? A seasoned Mage against an Inept?"

Neron shrugged off the question, maintaining his expression of absolute confidence. "Maybe you're right."

However, his demeanour alone told a different tale. It was clear that this man did not have any intention of losing.

***

"Looks like I'm the only one who got to you. I'm not sure how powerful you are, but… I'm going to do my best to eliminate you."

The one who spoke was Jane Ursula, and she was standing directly in front of Ciel. The latter had a calm demeanour on her cute face and her gorgeous eyes were narrowed in caution.

"You overestimate my capabilities." She said, almost at the point of exasperation. Still, resolution remained etched on her face.

"I won't lose, though. Prepare yourself."

***

With everyone fighting their own battles, being lost in the seemingly endless swirl of chaos and devastation, two individuals found each other.

One had golden hair and the other's hair was white as wool. They both stared at each other, each with contrasting expressions.

"Jared… finally, I have you within reach." Kuzon, the Absolute Emperor grinned like a maniac as he stared hard at his opponent.

"Urgh. It's you. Stay out of my way, weakling." Jared responded with a frown, no, more like a look of disgust.

Despite this, however, Kuzon would not back down. Never!

"I've come this far. I've mastered my family's secret techniques, and I've honed my abilities… all for this moment."

"I don't care."

"You will pay for what you did, Jared. I will make sure you die in the most painful way imaginable."

At this point, Jared was already rolling his eyes.

"Right here, right now; I will use my all to end your life!"
