Chapter 97
Raid
Two men were watching the village from a distance.
"That place is Hestia Village."
"Right."
"Can it change this much in just a few months?"
The large man expressed surprise.
Е n̂ú ḿ а
The Far East, where no one sets foot.
Seeing a proper village built on that land near the borderline among them, the feeling was new.

"Wasn't it said that until a few years ago, a new village taking root in this land was impossible?"
"Impossible. Because the perception of the Far East is that bad."
"How is that possible?"
"One can only say he has good capability. With the Pascal Company's full support, the alliance declaration from Iorga's side, and even the Southern Halim region merging, isn't it like he performed alchemy?"
Еn̆_u m̈ а́
"Alchemy... Well, since it's a place where money gathers, calling it alchemy isn't wrong."
Transforming this wasteland into a place piled with gold mines, it was beyond surprise.
"Moreover, everything was done under the name Ferda Valdrova."
"He's a dangerous person. If he expands his power like this, the plan will become problematic."

"Hmm..."
The man looked down silently.
Ё ń u m̈ а̇ ._ï d̀
The bulky man watching his back suggested.
"How about revealing ourselves even now?"
"No. That doesn't fit our plan."
He answered sharply with cold judgment.
"From the start, what we need is Valdrova's isolation. If we openly step forward and smash Hestia Village, what would happen?"
"Wouldn't they lose centripetal force?"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"No, they'd unite. Like during the Dragon-Demon War."
Dragon-Demon War.
The man who heard those words also calmed down his excitement.
For the demons, there is no event as humiliating as that one.
"For humans, a just cause is a frightening thing. Humans have gathered under the name of exterminating demons. Even now, with only remnants left, they're trying to exterminate those too."
"Right."
Е̄n̊ u ṁa
"So we must leave them be. So that descendants lose their vigilance against demons."
The man muttered as if reciting poetry.

"What rusts the sword is peace, what ages the castle walls is also peace, what dulls humans is also peace."
The bulky man also agreed to that plan.
However, there was no way to handle this anxiety settling in his chest, so he ended up throwing a question at him.
"Still, if we leave it like this, won't their power grow?"
Е ńü ṁ а. і̆d̀
"Of course. That too is something that cannot be overlooked."
If we break it, the big picture breaks; if we hide like this, it adds strength to centripetal force.
Everything began when Ferda Valdrova accepted the engagement.
"So throwing some seeds isn't bad, right?"

The man showed fingers hidden in his robe.
His fingers were very thin and white.
Wе b̌ n o v̌еl Ĕṅ u m ǎ
That finger drew a vertical line in the air.
Then, a shimmering crack of various colors opened before him.
What revealed itself from there was a wolf.
-Grrrr...
No, they were monsters in the shape of wolves.
They came out of the crack one by one slowly and stood in a line.

They all had eyes that lost reason, but they were obedient.
They waited like puppies serving the robed man as their master.
The man ordered in a polite tone.
"Sweep them away."
-Woof! Woof!
Monsters rushing out the moment they heard the man's command.
Е ń u mа̌ . і d̆
Beings filled only with malice to destroy ran toward Hestia Village.

"Combat situation! Summon all soldiers and notify the adventurers! I repeat. This is a combat situation! All officials evacuate the residents, and soldiers capable of fighting gather!"
Isabella, who had authority as commander in emergencies, shouted.
"Number approaching?"
"15 of them."
Ènú m ä .i d̃
"15, huh..."
Isabella was busy with telepathic communication for summoning.
In the meantime, Erica closed her mouth and looked down at the floor.
'Strange.'
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
She stepped back further and looked at this situation broadly.
'Sudden monster appearance. And 15 of them at that.'
Е ṅu̇m̄а̄
Recent incidents and situations.
And even if it might be somewhat forced, she doesn't hesitate to make leaps of speculation to find the answer most fitting for this situation.
'Perhaps...'
Erica looked at Isabella and said.
"Bella! Will it be okay without me?"
"Won't you participate in the battle?"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"There must be a ringleader behind this monster invasion. I intend to find that ringleader."
5 telepathic communications were constantly piercing Isabella's ears.
She frowned deeply and replied with a fierce glare.
"The children of Great Iorga-nim are watching the rear. Please don't worry."
"Thanks."
Erica calmly grasped the situation and unfolded a magic circle.
Е nũ m̈á
Unlike ordinary humans drawing one magic circle, five circles were revolving around her.
That was the capability of Erica, the renowned Blue-Eyed Tower Master and head of Blue Dragon Spawns.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
Multi-casting.
She can chant two spells at once and prepare five spells.
Erica manifested the first magic circle.
"Go, become my eyes."
Е̌ n̄u mа . i̇ d̄
Mana condensed in the magic circle scattered in all directions as dozens of blue sparrows.
Those with motion detection magic and mana detection attached tracked those with suspicious movements.
As befits the title Blue Eye that monitors all magic, no one can escape that tracking.
Something caught the sparrows' eyes that spread instantly past the village to the dense forest.

"Found it."
Erica immediately unfolded one prepared magic circle on the floor.
Е n üṁa .ї d̃
It was teleportation magic.
She set coordinates in an instant and dropped onto the blue sparrow caught by detection magic.
What was only visible as a form of mana began to be properly visible to the naked eye.
Erica didn't hesitate or worry.
Because she decided to treat those who release monsters as demons without exception.
She immediately cast the prepared magic circle at the visible target.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"Binding Time."
High-level magic that makes time at a designated point infinitely slow.
For a mage of Erica's level, stopping it completely was possible.
Everything affected by that magic stopped in place.
Two spells remained.
Those two magic circles assimilated to form a new form of geometry.
Ẇ еb̌nōṽ е̌ l̇ _È ń u mӓ
That strange magic could only be handled by Erica.
Elemental Demolition.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
A destructive and barbaric magic that uses the repulsion of two opposing elements to blow away everything in the area.
It was destructive to the point of being excessive, but Erica didn't care at all.
That was not lacking for demons who once tried to rule the continent, and it was the will to leave no room for the remnants.
However, Erica's sixth sense sharpened while preparing magic.
Е̌n ü m а.
Dragon Spawn's developed five senses.
Among them, something reacted sensitively in her field of vision.
'Impossible.'
Literally, time was stopped.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
If within range, nothing can move there.
But she didn't blindly trust her rational judgment.
Еnû mӓ.iď
That was the correct answer.
Something flew toward this place from within a space where time shouldn't have been flowing due to Binding Time.
A black large object with a ferocious face extended a hand the size of a pot lid.
Erica instinctively knew the moment she saw that hand.
The moment she's caught by that hand, she'll die helplessly.
The ferocious hand grabs her leg.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
No, what it grabs is the spot where an afterimage remains.
She had already escaped that danger with teleportation magic.
Erica landing on the floor and fixing her posture.
Analyzing what happened a moment ago came before the thought of preparing a magic circle.
'Was the stop magic nullified?'
Even the trembling of leaves, crawling insects - all stopped there having lost color.
Wӗ ḃ n̊ о̃v е̊ l Ѐ n u m̊ а̄
The magic was still operating.
But there was one thing moving in that space.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
A man wearing a gray robe.
Only that man ignored everything and looked at Erica.
'How is that possible?'
To block Binding Time, unfolding resistance magic is typical.
Е ń ů ḿа
But there was no resistance even at the moment of activation.
Everything stopped; it was a defenseless state.
That's why Erica tried to land a decisive hit.
How can one move alone in a stopped space?

"You seem very surprised."
That man's voice rang clearly in her ears.
W ё bǹ o_v̀è l Е n̊ ůmă
"You're a descendant of Great Iorga and the Wisdom of the 12th Expedition, yet this isn't your first time facing demons."
The man's voice sounding like he's mocking.
Erica collected herself and showed a composed appearance.
"True. It's surprising that I still have things to be surprised about."
"That's good news. That we haven't regressed."
Shortly after, the bulky man who flew up into the sky landed on the floor.

*Kuwung!*
The floor's vibration was deep, befitting the heavy mass.
The man was kneeling behind that man.
The man asked him without looking back.
"Failed to strike a vital point?"
"Situation judgment was faster than expected."
Е́ n û m а̂ .і̂d
"Isn't it natural? The opponent is one of the 12th Expedition and the Blue Eye Tower Master, so it would be strange if she just took it helplessly."
The man's eyes hidden in the robe are briefly visible.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
Black pupils shining like obsidian and red pupils.
The composure and contempt within stimulated Erica's deep anger.
'I should kill them all...'
Unlike her heart, reality isn't easy.
Е̌ n û m̀.а.іd
The price of failing to cast high-circle magic was too great.
Due to that mana recoil, not only did she simply lose mana, but the mana inside Erica's body was also scattered.
'Can't be helped.'
She puts human magic aside for now.

Erica carefully pulled her hand back.
The water flask fastened to her belt.
W̃ е̌ b̃ nо vе̃l̇ E.n úm̌ӓ
To open the flask's opening.
*Pop!*
The moment the opening opened, the contents inside swam along her fingers.
The full water became a ring surrounding her.
One of the bulky man's eyebrows shot up.
"What's with the water ring?"
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
"Iorga is not just magic but also the Water Phase."
"Hmph, what can you do with mere water?"
As the bulky man sneered, Erica extended her hand forward.
Part of the water ring became a water droplet and floated on Erica's hand.
"I can do things like this."
The moment she flicked her finger, the water droplet became a bullet and flew in a straight line.
Е.ñu.mа
The bulky man extended his hand forward to block that water bullet.
"Mmph?!"
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
The water pressure bullet cleanly pierced through, even digging into his heart.
"Kueok!"
It pierced the chest, penetrated the back, and flew trying to pierce even the young man standing behind.
But it couldn't penetrate the mana protection wrapped around his body and bounced off.
Е̇ nû m а̊
"Kkeueuk... What is that? Just a water droplet..."
"Didn't I say? Iorga is the Phase of Water and Magic. Moreover, it's magic wielded by the head, so piercing your skin is natural."
"You should tell me things like that quickly."
"Don't you prefer feeling it directly?"

The bulky man with a face unable to hide surprise.
But the one even more surprised was Erica, seeing those two chatting calmly.
Е́_nu̇ m а.í_d̄.
'I shot intending to kill both...'
Her water droplet boasts lethal power.
When piercing the heart, it should have been twisted by rotational force and water pressure and shattered to pieces.
Even if they're demons several times stronger than humans, a fatal wound is unavoidable.
But the pierced demon treated it like a minor wound as if stabbed somewhere and stood up abruptly.
'Besides, couldn't even pierce the demon behind.'
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
The mana protection simply wrapped around the body was at that level.
'Demons remnants, yet at this level.'
At least Noble-class.
Even Noble-class approaching Emperor.
Now that both Binding Time and Elemental Demolition failed, there was nothing left that could be called a means for her.
'Only choice is to promise and come back prepared.'
W̌е b̄n̂ оv̌ е̌ l̇ Е̇ nũ m̂а̂
She unfolds a teleportation magic circle.
The magic circle manifests and wraps around Erica's body.

But her body didn't teleport.
"Kueok!"
Instead, blood spurted and poured from her mouth.
Not knowing why, she coughed blood and writhed in pain.
Е̃ n ǔ m̈ ӓ
'My insides... feel twisted.'
She knows what that side effect is.
It was a phenomenon that occurs when casting imperfect teleportation magic.
'Did I implement the magic circle wrong?'
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
That can't be.
Erica lived over a thousand years and used teleportation magic hundreds of thousands of times.
Еn u m̄ӑ
Erica was so masterful she'd draw teleportation circles in her sleep and move somewhere.
'That means that man used a trick.'
She got tricked like a fool.
Erica looked at that man with a resentful expression.
"Did you think you could leave whenever you want, just like when you entered?"
A deep smile could be felt in the voice.

Whether to get angry or cold, she had to do something, but she could only lean forward and groan.
"Since the Tower Master greets me so enthusiastically, I should give an answer too."
He raised a finger from within his robe.
His hand wasn't black but pure white.
That finger pointed forward and drew a vertical line.
Cracks of various colors occurred and spat out what was inside.
Е_ǹ ūḿ а
-Kureuk.
-Kureuk.

They were monsters modeled after wyverns.
They flapped their wings and rose into the air.
Their number was at least over twenty.
An endlessly desperate situation for cornered Erica.
E̊ń u m̌ а̂.i̊ d̃
The man's finger pointed at Erica.
"Cut off her breath."
-Kiyet!
The wyverns all flew at Erica at once.

That was when.
A heavy gust rushed toward them.
Ẃ е̃ b̂ n о v̌ е̂ l̇ Eṅ um а
An object large enough to block Erica's view became a wall.
The flying wyvern monsters died in one hit.
*Kuwung!*
Dust soaring up as it slammed into the floor.
Erica opened her eyes and saw that object.
It was an axe.

A war axe with a blade so large it seemed like a giant would use it.
Erica knew the owner of that axe.
A petite build unlike one handling a ferocious axe.
But a silver-haired girl with outstanding martial arts enough to bear the title Nightmare of Frost Giants.
"Hello, Erica-nim."
It was Ruri Silverwind.
W е b̃ n o v ē l Ё ń u ḿ а̄
"I heard you visited the territory and came running barefoot, but was it unnecessary meddling?"
Erica wiped the blood on her mouth with her index finger.

"I've shown an unsightly appearance to Valdrova's maid."
"I don't mind. But from now on, it would be better to compose yourself more properly."
There was no need to express deep doubt at Ruri's words.
Because she soon felt the presence of someone walking here.
Ën̆u̇.m̌ å ._i d̆
Pitch-black black suit with gray hair and blue eyes.
Tall, but a fragile-looking figure catches the eye at once.
But no one could think him weak.
His eyes faced the enemy without a single tremor, as if backed by an army of thousands.

Ferda Valdrova.
He stood beside Erica with a dignified bearing.
