Chapter 84.3
The battle between Flare and the King and Crown Prince moved beyond the grounds of the Academy of Magic and shifted its battlefield to the skies of the Royal Capital.
A battle between great spirits who had protected the royal family for 100 years. Several members of the Royal Guard were chasing after the king, who had fled the scene, but even if they were to join him, they would not be able to inflict any decent damage on the Great Spirit’s contractors with their normal attacks.
Like in the operation that captured Flare, the only way to do so would be to use a weapon with great firepower like a siege weapon or to aim for a momentary gap using great power, but all three were flying as high as a ten-story building, so the knights’ attacks could not reach them.
But such things were not a big problem.
The King was accompanied by a great spirit of wind, and the Crown Prince by a great spirit of water.
Even if Flare was the most fearsome of all, there was no way she could fight against two great spirits with her weakened body that had been imprisoned in the dungeon for three months. Yes, not only the knights, but also the King and even the Crown Prince Julio thought so.
“Hohoho! Chirp, you swine!”
“Guooooh!”
“Father!”
A huge swirl of flame broke through the King’s wind barrier, but Julio’s water extinguished the flames and healed the King’s burns instantly.
“Perish, Flare!”
Julio brought his raised arm down and a huge puddle of water was created in the sky above and started to fall down on Flare like a huge waterfall, like a 7th class water magic [Water Hammer].
The huge water and flames collided, and the vapor spread out as if it were exploding…
“Did that do it… Guh”
“Julio!”
A whip of flame ripped through the space as if to break the vapor, inflicting a painful blow on Julio, who had been caught off guard by his presumed victory.
“That’s all you two could do, that sow was much better than you.”
When the vapor cleared, there was Flare, without a single blemish, laughing condescendingly at the two.
The spirit that had been trapped in a magical tool for a hundred years and had been weakened, and Flare’s spirit, which had regained its power after obtaining a new contract, had too huge of a disparity in their power.
Even before that, the difference in upbringing, between a normal human, even for Royalty, and the Flare, who had been born to fight others, showed a difference in their fighting potential.
Don! Don! Don!
[Your Majesty! Are you all right!]
Sensing something wrong, the remaining Royal Guards in the castle: troops with magic guns replicated in this country: arrived and started shooting at Flare who stood high in the above sky.
“Oooooh, well done! Don’t let Flare get away!”
“Tsk.”
The King, who was elated by the arrival of the magic gun squad, ordered, and Flare, with a frown on her face, simply waved a single hand and with one move blocked the bullets with flames.
Normally, it would be impossible to shoot an enemy in the sky with a gun with such precision, but in this world, Range Skills existed, so the accuracy was compensated for. What was more troublesome than anything else was the existence of [Combat Skills].
The magic gun’s Combat Skill had a poor hit rate but was more powerful than a bow; it was aimed at the gap where Flare used a move big enough to finish a great spirit, and even a fluke hit could have been fatal.
“Fuhaha, Flare, you are out of luck too…”
[Guuaaaaaah!!!]
The roar of a beast that shook the tense atmosphere interrupted the King’s words, and several giant snake heads as big as a large building appeared out of nowhere.
[It’s a Hydra!]
[It’s too huge.]
