CILIV.

The Circle 9 magic, originally with the ignorant name of ‘Summon Meteorite’, is a magic that, unlike other Circle 9 magics, does not give off much of a warning before being activated.

What are you talking about?

That means the Mana flow before activation isn’t that great. If it’s less than Teleport, then that’s all I have to say.

Why?

Let me give you a simple example.

There is a spell in the other Circle 9 called Meteor Swarm which is similar to the summon meteorite spell.

It is not a real meteor swarm falling, but rather hundreds, or depending on the ability, close to a thousand fireballs that are similar in shape to fireballs but much more powerful, appear simultaneously and bombard a wide area or a single target, resembling a meteor swarm, hence the name.

This alone creates hundreds of fireballs stronger than a fireball, so even simple calculations show that it takes up a lot of mana.

The same goes for the magic that summons the hellish fire that burns the flames called Hellfire. Since the ‘Mana’ directly ‘changes’ a specific element, the Circle 9 magic will cause low-level Circle magicians or low-level magicians to vomit blood and collapse just from the aftereffects of its manifestation.

However, the meteorite summoning magic is a little different.

A Call series of magic uses a significant amount of mana to summon a meteorite floating in space to a planet.

However, this mana, like the call series magic, opens a crude long-distance space gate based on conjuration, randomly calling into the universe.

So, unlike other magic, it doesn’t change the ‘surroundings’ of the caster, but rather causes a change somewhere in the universe where no one knows what will happen.

Oh, what happens if I fail this time?

What if you open a crude door to the furthest space distance and there are no meteorites around?

What should I do?

Close it, fill it up, prepare it, and open it again. Until it works. If you try hard, everything will work out.

What if that doesn’t work?

You just have to do your best.

Anyway, once the meteorite, chosen with such difficulty, is summoned through the tunnel and above the planet’s atmospheric interface, the wizard’s job is done.

I’ve explained it so casually, but using this magic just once would be enough to make any wizard in Circle 9 shiver.

Because it doesn’t show anything directly in front of your eyes or change the environment, it has less mana flow than other Circle 9 spells.

… … I heard the witch explain.

But why?

Not long after the magic began, I was almost blown away by the swirling mana.

All students already in the academy had been sent out in the morning under the pretext of ‘school closure’, and a notice had been sent out stating that access was prohibited as Dragon Lord and Gray were conducting experiments there.

But in Evergreen, there was a clear and immense flow of Mana that even an Expert could feel.

Even if they are far away, wouldn’t someone as small as a superhuman be able to jump up from their seat?

Isn’t this already a mana flow that can throw six or seven Hellfires? Or maybe even stronger.

Even a superhuman can notice it, so someone across the ocean must have noticed it already.

“This won’t be a problem… … ?? OMG.”

I quickly swallowed the words I was about to say to the witch, wondering if it would be a problem.

Huh? Why?

Because I didn’t want to reveal my ignorance and lack of common sense here.

Summon Meteorite has less mana flow than other spells in Circle 9.

That’s right.

But what if the mana flow is this clear?

That means you summoned that many, right?

When something unnatural, something altered, something corrupted appears on the continent by the ‘hand of man’, the ‘eyes that look down on the stars’ move.

And the sudden summoning of meteorites was clearly an unnatural phenomenon for this continent.

What the ‘eyes looking down on the stars’ suddenly showed me was a red-hot, falling meteorite filling my field of vision.

A walking stick?

If that had been dropped on Alfonso, the empire would have collapsed. Not only the empire, but wouldn’t all the neighboring countries collapse? By an earthquake?

“Huh? Okay, wait a minute.”

Now that I think about it, there are a lot.

The amount of falling meteorites is too much.

“Clown, May!”

“Huh~?”

“Why? Brother?”

“Help the superhumans.”

There are some superhumans standing here and there along the shoreline. It’s obvious that they are standing there to block the tsunami.

In addition, he also delivered warnings to the quasi-heroes of countries close to Zipangu by sea, such as the Kingdom of Moria, the Kingdom of Hittite, and the Kingdom of Parthia.

But I don’t think we can stop this. If all those meteors fall.

“It’ll be okay, Master.”

The witch’s voice was weak as she approached, pushing through the hundreds of wizards belonging to the Sage’s Tower who had collapsed on the ground, having finished casting their spells.

“Are you okay? No, it’s better than that?”

“Unlike the usual meteorite summoning, this is quite a rare material and is aided by a magic circle. Most of it will fall on the staff. The hit rate is expected to be around 80%. That’s enough for what you’ve prepared in advance.”

The witch assured, and the two-horned man nodded as well.

If that’s true, then I would be right, but now I couldn’t say anything as I watched the huge chunks of meteorite fall, visible to the naked eye.

It is the moment when you realize that magic is truly the most terrifying technique when it is expressed in the form of ‘If you die, I die too.’

Summoning a meteorite. I too had a flash of thought when I first heard it – perhaps because I was reminded of Japan, which had been hit by the atomic bomb, in my confessional memory. I never thought I would see such a spectacle…

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

As soon as the meteorite hits the ground, its vibrations are felt even by Evergreen.

How long will the faint, loud noise and the uneasy, continuing vibration continue?

Suddenly the sea water begins to recede rapidly.

“Tsunami! Be prepared!”

It’s a sign of a tsunami.

The fear of a tsunami can be easily guessed by its speed and wave height alone. And before that, it can be guessed to some extent by the degree to which the sea water recedes as a precursor, as it is now.

The water had receded to a point where even a person without divine power would have to run quite a distance to reach it.

And the water that had fallen began to rise at a tremendous rate. As it got closer to the shoreline, the waves quickly rose higher, as if the extremely timid AAA type was venting its pent-up anger.

“We have to block it well… … .”

◈ ◈ ◈

Nature’s wrath at the artificial introduction of something alien into the continent was terrifying.

Superman.

Beings who had shed their human skin stood calmly before the wrath of nature.

He draws his sword, holds his bow, clenches his fists and waits.

When the waves came so close that the awe-inspiring force of the waves could be felt just by looking at them, Pope Judas, who had taken up a position nearby, moved.

“Holy Hand.”

His prayer-like murmur was low and small, but it reached me through the roar of the approaching waves, even though we were a considerable distance away.

When the Halo emanating from the Pope’s small frame became a small sun and covered his body, waves crashed down in a wide radial shape centered around him.

As if the high waves of an approaching tsunami were stopped and hundreds of giant hands were crushing them.

The sight of the ‘divine hand’ expanding its area radially from the Pope, destroying the tsunami. The technique the Pope used was amazing, but the spectacle of the Pope’s immense divine power making it possible left the onlookers speechless.

The small-sized Pope Judas who caused that Shota made me guess why it is recorded in the imperial history of the neighboring Clitean Empire as ‘Rather touch the dragon!’

◈

The swordsmanship used by the Sword Immortal and the swordsmanship used by Caligo were completely different types.

If the sword of the sword of the swordsman was focused on ‘cutting’, then Caligo’s sword was closer to ‘destroying’ what was blocking the way.

As you can see now.

Even when the black eyes of the swordsman close for a moment and open, he swings them dozens of times. And then he cuts them down.

Whether it’s a wave or something else following it, it’s perfectly ‘cut’ and the cut wave loses its strength and sinks with a ‘thud’ sound.

And that clump of broken water that settles again serves to break the waves.

Every time the sword of the swordsman is swung, a wave that is an extension of his sword path collapses, like an ogre whose head has been cut off.

While screaming ‘Shooo!’

The swordsman simply swings his sword and moves quickly across the water, repeating the process.

◈

Caligo’s Black summoned a giant sword that he had seen before.

Caligo’s sword, which was made of divine power to the point that it could be called ignorant or reckless, swung it with all its might towards the high waves.

The waves break.

Kick the water and move far away.

He swings his ignorant sword again.

The waves break.

And again. And again. Repeat the movement and destruction.

The Sword of Caligo. His sword perfectly represents the character of the Caligo Order, and with its honest and ignorant destruction, it prevents natural disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis.

Rather, the sea that was hit by his sword avoided him and moved towards where the staff was, causing the subsequent tsunami to break apart or dissipate.

◈

The supermen said.

Since the Divine Bow, which uses a bow as a weapon, and the Kanviel, which uses a secret weapon as a weapon, will be at a slight disadvantage, let’s narrow down the area.

The ‘rough’ Shin-Gung didn’t get angry at those superhumans. He just laughed at them. And instead, he took charge of a wider area.

That is why the Shingung was left in charge of the Kingdom of Moria, located at the southwestern tip of the continent.

As soon as he saw that the sea had receded, Shin-gung ran with his bow in hand.

And when the waves seemed to be rising, he would run like a tsunami, rushing towards the land at the speed of a car, and fire his arrow.

This was possible because she was the fastest ‘law’ among the superhumans.

Shin-Gung did not use the powers he gained by becoming a superhuman.

However, I used the Soul Weapon and Spirit Sword that I naturally obtained when I became a Grand Master.

Soul Arrow.

She shot one arrow, but six arrows flew out of her bow.

They cut along the tsunami as it follows it, cutting it horizontally like a long, hanging banner.

Archery is a miracle and a miracle that is hard to believe even when you see it with your own eyes.

An incredible feat of cutting through the waves that rise up after the arrow fired by the archer, like the leader of a flock of migratory birds.

The nobles of the Kingdom of Moria who witnessed this skill could only open their mouths and tremble.

‘What if that woman commits assassination? Can you stop it?’

The nobles all thought the same thing and experienced the same fear.

◈

When Gray told him the true meaning of the processing team, Advakiel was not worried. Instead, he confidently asked him to save the secret.

An unimaginable amount.

And now the grand spectacle that Advakiel is showing us proves why she, despite her beautiful appearance, was given the terrifying nickname of ‘King of Death’.

Adbakiel is human, and has two human hands and only ten fingers.

That is a fact that does not change even for superhumans.

However, with each swing of Advakiel’s hand, the number of dark ki flying through the air, enveloped in ‘strong energy’, exceeds a hundred. A hundred in one hand. More than two hundred in each hand.

It crashed down the waves as if it had burst a claymore.

With each step, Advakiel’s hand swung, and with each movement the waves crashed.

A great army is often compared to a wave. What if this were a battlefield and the waves were a great army of tens or millions of people?

Where Advakiel has passed, only death will remain. Like waves scattering and overflowing, blood will become a sea.

In some dimension, is it said that if you sprinkle dark energy, the dark energy will fall like a rain of flowers throughout the heavens?

The skills that Canviel is displaying now are reminiscent of that.

◈

On the contrary, the beings who felt the most difficult were the wizards.

After that, Dean and Canviel.

Magic usually costs exponentially more mana depending on its duration and range.

If you need to shock something big enough to shatter a tsunami over a wide area for a long time, it would be impossible, unlike the inspectors.

So the two wizards put their heads together. And as befitting wizards, they ‘prepared’.

The area that Kanviel and Dean Hu were in charge of was the southern and southeastern part of Evergreen.

Then the two wizards went into the sea, waist-deep, before the tide even went out, and laid down mithril stakes very spaced out.

When the sea water recedes as a precursor to a tsunami.

Canviel cast his magic as he quickly passed the stake.

《Wall of Stone》

Although this was the magic of Circle 5, the magic displayed by the Circle 9 superhuman was on a whole other level. Furthermore, there were mithril pillars in the middle that served as the central pillars.

It wasn’t just a simple stone wall that went up.

And as Dean Hu followed Canviel where he left off, he used the strengthening magic of Circle 6 that he had developed.

《Reinforce》

And the basic magic of Circle 1,

《Enlarge》

I cast a magnification spell on the stone wall.

The embankment, which was tall and large even when it was the ‘Wall of Stone’, has now become so tall, thick and large that its end cannot be seen.

The gaps that naturally appear due to the nature of the ‘Wall of Stone’, where stones rise from the ground without any particular order, are filled in by the influence of the ‘Inraji’ magic, creating a perfect barrier.

Kwakwakwak!! Kwaang!!

The reinforced stone walls shook violently and broke in places with a sound like shells exploding, but the waves had already lost their strength.

◈

Superman.

A being that has shed its human form.

Everyone who saw this scene that day could understand why they were called ‘superhumans’ and revered.

And Muheo, who was given the position to a witch by the Divine Bow, who strongly opposed the dangerous act of entering the magic circle, was left in charge of the southeastern region of the continent alone…

He completed his mission perfectly, as waves as high as 20 meters that approached the coastline of the southeastern part of the continent, including parts of the Hittite Kingdom, the Parthian Kingdom, and parts of the Alfonsoan Empire, remained frozen for a while.

With a monstrous appearance.
