326

Cal made a tense expression as he looked at Leo, whose expression had disappeared.

‘Leo.’

For Cal, Leo was the first friend he made after entering Lumern.

‘Meeting you was incredible luck for me.’

Cal had barely managed to enter Lumern by the skin of his teeth.

But he never thought he would be able to last long at Lumern.

That’s how clearly he knew his own limits.

In reality, Cal’s school life was always a series of limitations.

Outwardly pretending to be calm.

Acting smoothly.

But he always felt the difference between himself and other students painfully.

In the midst of all that, Leo was always by his side.

The grade representative and unprecedented All-Class student.

On top of that, the youngest Student Council President in Lumern’s history.

Cal, who had always watched Leo receive the spotlight from beside him, knew better than anyone.

How much Leo, who acted as if he had no limits in others’ eyes, pushed himself beyond his limits.

Leo’s appearance of endlessly striving and running forward had a great impact on Cal.

Having watched Leo like that, Cal knew.

‘It’s not impossible for you guys to bring Leo down.’

Cal, positioned in the rear, took a deep breath and looked at Leo.

He recalled the memory of fighting against the Erebos fragment that had recreated the appearance of Kail, the Hero of the Beginning, in Dweno’s World.

“Ready to feel the difference?”

Avad raised his staff with his characteristic gentle smile.

“Leo, I’m sorry to you, but that difference… I’ve already felt it painfully.”

Rummmmmmmble-!

As Avad swung his staff, the surrounding ground began to shake.

Rummmmmble-!

Rocks from underground rose up.

It wasn’t telekinetic magic.

He had controlled the wind to lift the stones.

Whirr-!

A magic circle appeared in the void.

Avad’s unique magic, Tempest, was activated.

Whoooooooosh!

The massive rocks clumped together to form a giant pillar.

The rock pillar accompanied by fierce winds struck down at Leo.

Crash-!

A massive shockwave swept the surroundings, centered on where the rock had directly hit.

Rumble rumble! Crack-!

Cracks began to form in the rock pillar that had directly hit Leo.

Crackle! Snap! Whoooosh-!

Rocks broken into fist-sized stones circled around Leo.

Leo looked at Avad and said with a smile.

“I don’t need them, so I’ll give them back.”

Whoosh- Crackle crackle-!

A barrage of stones, now on fire, struck down at Avad.

Whoosh-!

Then Eliza, who had summoned a Wind Wyvern, quickly picked up Avad and flew up into the skies.

Seeing this, Leo narrowed his eyes.

‘I see, so they’re going to focus only on attacking as a rear dealer.’

The greatest advantage of the all-around type is being able to take position anywhere.

Like Chelsea, they can be active as a Battle Mage at the very front, or like Chloe, they can be active as a battery firing powerful magic from the very rear.

Or they can move between both sides, supporting whatever position is needed.

Close to all-around, but even so, there are still biased tendencies.

‘Avad is closer to the traditional type like Chloe.’

The advantage of the traditional type is overwhelming magical power.

But the disadvantage is mobility.

Eliza was supporting Avad to compensate for that weakness.

‘Well, Eliza isn’t just supporting Avad though.’

Leo looked at Chelsea and Woreden standing in front of him.

Around them were two people who had received the blessing of spirit beasts.

Earlier.

The situation was different from when they had faced Leo as a hastily assembled team.

They had clearly concluded that Leo was an enemy they needed to work together to defeat and had made full preparations accordingly.

There’s a difference between being prepared and not being prepared.

Spirit power wrapped around Leo’s arm.

“What are you doing?”

As Cal muttered with a panicked face, Woreden answered.

“It’s spirit arts.”

“Everyone be careful! With that much spirit power in spirit arts, something incredible is definitely coming!”

At Cal’s shout, everyone made tense expressions.

Leo, who had gathered the spirit power that began to glow blue at his fingertips, struck the ground.

Crack-!

The spirit power that seeped into the earth soon disappeared without a trace.

“…”

“…”

Chelsea, who had been making a very tense expression, soon looked at Cal with a deflated face.

“Nothing’s happening though?”

“…He summoned something.”

Woreden narrowed his eyes.

“What did he summon?”

“I don’t know that. But it would be better to bring down Leo Flobe quickly.”

Woreden armed himself with Spirit Armor.

Whoosh-

A fire spirit settled on Woreden’s body like armor.

Seeing this, Chelsea also gripped her staff properly, lowered her stance, and released the magic she had been preparing.

“Hot Wind.”

Whoooooooosh-!

Intense wind began to swirl around Chelsea.

Seeing this, Leo narrowed his eyes.

‘Chelsea’s unique magic.’

A field magic like Chloe’s unique magic, Ice World.

The difference is that Chloe’s unique magic is an area magic that freezes the entire surrounding area.

With powerful cold air, it could attack enemies as well as slow down enemy movements to create a battlefield favorable to allies and pressure opponents.

But Chelsea’s Hot Wind is different.

By itself, it doesn’t have much attack power.

However, what’s troublesome is.

Whoosh-!

Chelsea quickly charged toward Leo.

Leo summoned Ranchea and swung it.

His purpose was to keep Chelsea in check using the spear’s long reach.

Whoosh-!

At that moment.

Chelsea’s body moved irregularly.

Like a fish swimming freely through water.

She dodged Leo’s attack with movements different from usual.

“Wind Sword.”

A blade of wind formed at the tip of Chelsea’s staff.

Clang-!

The wind sword and flame-wreathed spear crossed.

Leo reached out his hand to grab Chelsea.

Whoosh-!

But as expected, Chelsea dodged with amazing movement.

Whoom-!

When Leo tried to chase Chelsea, wind blew in to interfere.

Hot Wind was magic that dramatically increased Chelsea’s combat power in close combat.

That wasn’t all.

The one who had control over the wind in the surrounding area.

Leo raised his head up.

Eliza was controlling the wind using the Wind Wyvern and spirit arts.

A battlefield perfectly advantageous to them.

“Even Leo oppa won’t find it easy to overcome this coordination!”

Chelsea shouted triumphantly.

Whoosh-!

Woreden, who had approached right up to Leo’s nose, threw a punch.

Kwaaaaang-!

Leo blocked Woreden’s fist with his hand.

Thud-!

Leo’s feet dug deep into the ground.

Leo counterattacked by kicking Woreden in the abdomen.

Whoooo! Kwang-!

The flying Woreden crashed into the ground.

Rumble-

Woreden brushed off the dust and got up, then cracked his neck a few times.

Crack- Crack-

Light bone-cracking sounds could be heard.

“Are you okay?”

When Cal asked with a fed-up expression, Woreden glanced at Cal.

“Don’t worry about me and focus on commanding. Your predictions are hitting the mark perfectly.”

“Got it.”

Cal looked at Leo.

‘The frontline is definitely the biggest unstable factor.’

Chelsea was a Battle Mage with overwhelming frontline combat ability.

Woreden’s close-range attacks using Spirit Armor were also at a thrilling level.

But even so, compared to Selia or Duran who could professionally handle the frontline, they were definitely at a disadvantage.

Even now they were barely managing to hold Leo back.

If they made even the slightest mistake and either one of them fell, the frontline would be annihilated.

And Eliza and Avad would immediately become Leo’s targets.

‘Or I would become the target. No, even just Chelsea alone would be finished if she lost to Leo.’

Harmony’s King, Chelsea.

Having such a Chelsea face Leo on the frontline was an incredibly dangerous thing.

Cal urgently put his hand to his ear.

Woom-! Communication magic activated.

“Chelsea! Woreden! Leo’s going to use magic! Create distance!”

Kwagagang-!

Along with those words, an explosion occurred around Leo.

“Avad! Now’s the time!”

Avad, who was riding the Wind Wyvern, raised his staff.

Whoooooo-!

“Cutter Storm.”

As he released the magic, a massive tornado arose and flew toward Leo.

Kiaaaaaaang-!

A spine-chilling sound echoed from the wind.

Sharp wind blades rotated in each layer of the wind.

It was literally wind whose very existence was like a giant blade.

Whoosh!

Avad’s Cutter Storm engulfed Leo.

“Impressive.”

“As long as the wind is on our side, Chelsea and I can become even stronger.”

Avad smiled and winked at Eliza.

Just as Eliza was about to snort.

Boom-!

“…!”

The Cutter Storm disappeared with a massive sound of tearing air.

“…It’s shocking that he doesn’t have a single scratch.”

Avad gave a bitter smile.

“But you’re doing well! Leo’s weakness is his unavoidable mana capacity! If we endure, we can win!”

Cal’s voice came through the communication magic.

“Hmph, Cal. That’s your problem.”

Eliza snorted.

“We joined forces while enduring humiliation.”

Eliza pulled on the Wind Wyvern’s reins.

“Win by dragging out time? We don’t need such an unsatisfying victory. Even if we lose, unless we face Leo Flobe’s power head-on… I won’t be satisfied.”

At Eliza’s growling words, Cal said.

“You probably don’t need to worry about that.”

Rumbllllle-!

A pillar of flames shot up from Leo’s body.

Whoosh-!

Cal broke out in cold sweat.

“He’s coming.”

Whoosh-!

The flame aura swirled violently.

Chelsea retreated in shock while Woreden became a shield for her.

Along with that.

“-!”

A massive roar flowed from Leo’s mouth.

“Kuk?”

“Hiik?”

Woreden, who heard Leo’s voice, flinched and stepped back, while Chelsea trembled for a moment.

“Howling?”

Avad muttered in disbelief.

“What can’t that human do!”

“There’s actually quite a lot.”

“…!”

A reply came from above in response to Eliza’s outcry.

Whoosh-

“I can’t do everything, you know.”

In the instant their bodies stiffened from the howling.

Leo approached at tremendous speed and launched a kick.

The flickering flame aura from Leo’s foot caught Avad and Eliza’s attention.

Bang-!

At that moment, Woreden flew in quickly and blocked Leo’s kick with his arm.

Whoooooosh! Bang-

Unable to withstand the impact, Woreden crashed down to the ground.

Flicker-

Leo readjusted his grip on Ranchea.

“Come to think of it, you two both received death rulings from Ranchea, didn’t you?”

“Yes, that spear… I hate the sight of it!”

Screeeech!

The Wind Wyvern made a sharp sound and opened its mouth wide.

Wind Breath engulfed Leo.

The moment the two created distance in an instant.

Flap flap flap-!

With the sound of flapping wings, dozens of small birds swarmed Leo.

Caw caw caw-!

Their awl-like sharp beaks seemed as if they would pierce right through Leo.

“Reflection.”

Leo deployed shield magic.

Thud thud thud thud thud-!

In an instant, the beaks of the incoming birds struck Leo’s magic.

“…Wind birds?”

Familiars created using magic to make sparrows.

However, wind birds have almost no attack power.

Leo turned his head.

Chelsea was standing there.

“Those are my familiars.”p>

Chelsea grinned.

“Hot wind magic gives power to those children.”

The wind birds gathered around Chelsea.

“Don’t worry, Leo Flobe. We won’t engage in stalling tactics.”

Woreden raised his spiritual power.

“We’ll use our full strength to bring you down.”

Avad said while chanting numerous spells.

‘Excellent.’

Despite feeling the wall, they charge forward without hesitation.

Even knowing the difference, they don’t spare themselves to secure certain victory.

They never fear moving forward.

They squeeze out everything and thrust their blade tips forward.

“I don’t particularly mind if you stall for time.”

Leo smiled slightly and raised his palm.

“Before that happens, I’ll win.”

Leo’s hand swung down from above.

***

‘…Even for Leo, handling the power of Phoenix and fairies simultaneously is difficult. Momentary overwhelming combat is possible, but it won’t last long. Since we know about the fairy’s existence, we have plenty of countermeasures on our side.’

Cal was lost in thought.

He predicted Leo’s attack patterns and gave commands.

The four people being able to perfectly coordinate their breathing was possible because Cal was giving commands from a distance while watching Leo’s movements.

Thanks to that, they were fighting an equal battle against Leo.

But….

‘Why… isn’t he using summoning magic?’

Leo has powerful magical beasts called Phoenix and fairies.

They’re probably Leo’s strongest cards.

But since entering combat, Leo hadn’t used summoning magic even once.

‘No, he used it once.’

For a brief moment.

He used spirit magic once.

‘What was that….’

Rumble rumble rumble rumble-!

The moment Cal felt bewildered.

The earth shook.

Roaaaaar-!

Along with it, a strange sound was heard.

‘…Wave sounds?’

Cal, who realized the identity of the sound, urgently turned his head.

And his jaw dropped.

“Hey… even so, this is….”

Cal, who spoke as if sighing, let out a scream.

“This is too much!”

Roaaaaar!

A massive tsunami engulfed the battlefield.
