Chapter 330: Variable (2)

I found out today that there was an even higher rank than high-ranking demonic human… It’s top-ranking demonic human. Problem is, it seems like I’ve been translating all past mentions of it as just ‘high-ranking’. So I’ll be correcting all past incorrect translations throughout this week. Just know that Karavan is a top-ranking one and not just a high-ranking one.

The number of troops led by Karavan was around 7,000.

But these 7,000 were not ordinary troops.

None of them were pure human beings as all members of the demon follower army was either a demonic human or a demon.

Therefore, it could not be compared to normal human armies in terms of unit combat power.

They were a powerful army comparable to at least 20,000 or 30,000 troops if all of the troops’ combat power were combined.

But the two attacked Karavan’s troops alone.

Common sense would say that this was no different from committing suicide.

Even if he was someone who had reached swordmaster level, he could not survive against 7,000 opponents.

Moreover, their opponents were not just these.

There were Karavan, a top-ranking demonic human, and two high-ranking demonic humans too.

So they could not just attack.

It would be best to avoid it.

But as soon as Jude and Cordelia arrived at the destroyed Fortress Karatum, they realized almost instantaneously the moment they saw Karavan’s army marching at a high speed across the Cilates Plains.

The two could not just let them go.

They had to attack the troops right here and now.

Jude thought so when he saw such a huge army enter the Cilates Plains unobstructed, and Cordelia instinctively realized it like always.

Their time to think was short.

Cordelia knew Outboxer009 from Legend of Heroes 2.

Likewise, Jude also knew Yellow Storm who was called a human disaster.

So they knew that they could do it.

That it was not like suicide.

“Show them.”

At the moment when Jude spoke, Cordelia spread her angel wings.

As she spread her beautiful golden wings, the divinity of the sun fiercely rotated around her angelic halo. The glory of the morning that was imbued in it then intensified.

“This is my Cordelia.”

Human disaster.

One-man army.

Anti-army wizard.

A thousand magic spheres were released from Cordelia and flew in the air. The immense divine power charged along with Cordelia towards the startled Karavan’s army.

What happened next was a storm.

A golden wind that raged.

“Evade!”

Dolce, a high-ranking demonic human, shouted, but it was not heard. The golden storm created by the thousand magic spheres engulfed everything including sound.

Bababababaababang-!

The thousand magic spheres rotated.

It swept around Cordelia, smashing and destroying everything in its path.

“Evade! Evade! Split to the left and right!”

Another high-ranking demonic human, Argo, desperately cried out. The demons also had survival instincts, so they urgently ran as Karavan’s army was split into two at once.

But that did not mean that the damage had stopped.

“OOOOOOOO!”

Cordelia moved. She flew towards one of the divided troops and gripped Moonlight at the same time. She cast a powerful magic by unleashing the spell she had previously charged.

[Earthquake!]

A powerful earthquake occurred following Melissa’s guidance.

The ground surface cracked and the earth swallowed the demons. The raging storm swept the demons away.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Seven thousand was not a small number. Each opponent was much bigger than regular humans, so Cordelia’s earthquake and storm could not hit the entire army.

But the problem was that Cordelia was moving.

Like a real storm – no, like a hurricane, she swept the battlefield, and nearly a thousand opponents were incapacitated in an instant.

“Argo!”

Dolce, a high-ranking demonic human, shouted and forcefully entered demonization. The huge horns and hard shell unique to a giant beetle covered Dolce’s body, and Argo also entered demonization and spread out butterfly wings.

Their tactic was simple.

Penetrate.

They would pierce through into the heart of the storm and directly attack Cordelia.

The golden storm was obviously powerful, but it was nothing more than a storm created from magic spheres the size of a fist.

The defensive capabilities of a high-ranking demonic human would be able to withstand it.

Dolce and Argo did not waste their time. They rushed almost simultaneously towards Cordelia who was randomly sweeping the demon follower army.

“UOOOOOOO!”

The powerful magic that arose from Dolce’s entire body blocked the golden magic spheres. Argo’s roar also shook the air and twisted the trajectory of the magic spheres.

Cordelia saw the two. The figure of the demonic humans who endured and pierced through with their bodies reminded her of the rotten waters in Legend of Heroes 2.

‘As expected.’

That was the only way to respond to her attacks.

She already knew about it.

So she had also prepared some countermeasures.

Cordelia had a wild smile.

With a smile reminiscent of a seductive feline beast, she moved her hands to form hand seals.

Yellow Storm’s talent.

A crazy talent for control that only Yellow Storm could do among the numerous rotten waters of Legend of Heroes 2.

The golden storm raged.

500 magic spheres still swept around and formed a storm, but the other 500 had stopped.

It moved according to Cordelia’s will.

It rushed towards Dolce and Argo!

“Double!”

It divided at that moment. The 500 magic spheres became 1,000 magic spheres.

“UOOOOOO!”

Dolce shouted again and hardened his skin. Argo also blocked it by protecting himself with his wings.

But it a foolish move. Cordelia did not just send 500 magic spheres towards the two.

“Stop it.”

No, endure it if you can.

500 magic spheres swallowed Dolce. If each of these spheres flew at random, Dolce’s plan would have worked.

But that did not happen. Dolce realized it the moment he blocked the magic spheres with his body.

Bababaababababang-!

The 500 magic spheres did not randomly fly around. It continuously attacked the same place as if it was being precisely manipulated.

A series of pinpoint attacks were made in the same place, and the accumulated damage exceeded his expectation. Moreover, the attacks did not only strike in one place.

Five places.

Twisting his body was useless. He was attacked in the same places again and again.

Bababababababang!

It cracked the hard shell. His insides suffered from shock and he lost the strength of his arms.

A hundred hits.

Five hundred hits in five places!

“AAAAAAAAH!”

Dolce could not bear it. Far from approaching Cordelia, he was largely pushed back. His outer skin shattered and his whole body turned like rags.

Argo was the same. His defense was originally below Dolce, so his chest was crushed.

It was divine power.

The divinity of the sun in the magic spheres acted as a poison towards the demonic humans. The more they got hit, the more their defense weakened, and by the time it ended, their bodies were almost to the point of being destroyed by the magic spheres.

Multitasking that transcended common sense.

A miraculous control she created unconsciously through her instinct that could not be calculated.

“GAAAAK!”

“AACK!”

Dolce and Argo disappeared. A ring of white light formed around Cordelia, and she felt that her mana was lacking. So she absorbed mana from Malekith’s Dragon Heart and caused an even rougher storm.

A thousand swirling magic spheres.

As each magic sphere shined gold, it felt as if another sun had risen on earth.

The demon follower army that was swept away by the storm began to literally melt.

Karavan clenched her teeth.

The moment she felt the deaths of Dolce and Argo, she instantly released the power she had been storing as a top-ranking demonic human.

She did not ignorantly pierced through the storm.

She would offset the attacks and penetrate the storm. She would quickly narrow the distance and knock down the caster.

It was a correct move.

It if was the magic of a top-ranking demonic human, she could easily push away the divinity of the sun and break it into small pieces.

Cordelia knew that too. Therefore, she did not gather the magic spheres when Karavan unleashed her power.

Rather, she opened a road by spreading it over a wider range.

The plan that she had thought of in the first place.

The golden storm was powerful, but it seriously exhausted her mana.

Moreover, the enemy side also had a top-ranking demonic human, so it was impossible to finish it with just a storm.

‘But it will be fine.’

Because Cordelia was not the only one here.

In addition to Yellow Storm who was a master in army warfare, there was the strongest player in Legend of Heroes 2 here.

An invincible person.

The king of the arena.

Even the combat genius Yellow Storm had to step back from having a one-on-one match against the god of PVP.

Jude looked straight ahead. He saw Karavan running from beyond the demon follower army that split to the sides.

‘Karavan.’

A top-ranking demonic human of the Devil’s Eye.

A spider demon who was both a schemer and a wizard, and possessed a powerful poison.

Four feet sprouted from behind Karavan’s back. The feet were sharp and long like that of a spider, and deadly venom leaked from its tips.

“KIAAAAAA!”

Karavan’s red eyes glowed as she unsparingly released her power as a demonic human. Her power was so great that it shook the entire golden storm that Cordelia had created.

But why?

Why does my heart feel so calm?

Rather than it be pounding, it’s beating normally.

He actually knew the reason why.

He had numerous experiences like this in his previous life, so he was well aware of it.

“Valencia, what should I do? I don’t think I’m going to lose.”

[How arrogant, my successor. But in fact, I feel the same way too.]

Karavan’s power was seriously incredible. It was no exaggeration to say that she was the strongest among the demonic humans he had faced so far.

But he did not think that he would lose.

Only a victorious future was pictured in his mind.

“Sword Spirit Union.”

Valencia’s sword was added to Jude.

He took another step and awakened the power of Ninth Heaven’s Nine Doors at the same time.

Bang!

The energy of the seventh door was unleashed like an explosion and shook the world. It did not stop at pushing the golden storm away as it even made the rushing Karavan to momentarily stop.

Confusion spread in Karavan’s eyes.

She stopped breathing because of the immense energy.

And in that gap.

Black lightning struck.

Karavan had tried to fight in close combat in order to quickly defeat Cordelia despite being a wizard, so she had not paid attention to the exploding lightning.

Thus, it resulted into something.

“Ah?”

Karavan’s chest froze.

The skeleton horse she was riding as well as the surface on which her feet had touched were now covered with ice.

Black Lightning Covers the Sky.

The only attack that struck was lightning.

Karavan’s chest cracked.

At the same time, cracks broke out all over the frozen world.

It was only then that Karavan realized that Jude had cut her through. She belatedly turned her eyes to follow the flow of energy.

Jude stood behind her. Instead of launching a second attack, he withdrew his sword-like hand.

Twelve Snowflake Sword Art – Twelfth Snow Flower.

Fleeting Falling Flower.

Craaaaaack-

Karavan’s chest was broken. The surface split and the skeleton horse shattered. The whole place seemed to shine as thousands of shattered ice fragments were swept into the sky by the rough wind.

“Wow.”

Jude unconscious exclaimed in admiration as he was surrounded by a ring of white light.

Because even he himself found his achievement astonishing.

As he became able to see the sword horizon, his swordsmanship itself had advanced.

Even if he had caught her off-guard, defeating a top-ranking demonic human with a single sword attack was something that could only be described as amazing.

[You still have a long way to go.]

He was just lucky this time.

Jude admitted it too.

Karavan was the weakest among the top-ranking demonic humans, and was inexperienced in close combat.

If she had neither panicked nor received Cordelia’s divinity of the sun debuff, she would have responded much better.

On the other hand, Jude’s own attack was truly one of his best. It was a perfect attack that happened once out of ten times.

But that did not mean that the attack he made would not happen again.

Valencia praised Jude while snorting like Count Chase, and Jude smiled before turning to Cordelia.

The demon follower army was in confusion.

Having lost their top-ranking and high-ranking demonic humans, the mid-ranking and low-ranking demonic humans forced the demons to charge.

It was a reasonable order.

The golden storm was a magic that consumed an enormous amount of mana, so as expected, Cordelia’s mana had run out.

The storm stopped.

Cordelia collapsed in place and gasped as if she was going to die at any moment.

“Attack!”

“Now is the chance!”

Thousands of demons still remained.

As all of them blindly charged, the entire ground shook as if an earthquake had occurred.

Jude stopped in front of Cordelia.

He stretched out his hand to Cordelia instead of looking back at the loudly charging demons.

“It went as I said, right?”

“Hey, if you hadn’t defeated her with a single attack, the timing would have been completely ruined, okay?”

“So I defeated her with a single strike.”

Jude slyly spoke and Cordelia eventually laughed.

In the past, she would have somehow hit him, but she did not feel like doing it now.

She hated it but she was fine with it now – no, she was completely fine with it now as he was her scammer.

“Then, shall we go with the rest of our plan?”

Cordelia took Jude’s hand. As she watched the demon follower army rushing towards them like raging waves, she once again cast her magic.

“”

Jude had infinite stamina that made her feel exhausted for the past few days – no, it was to the point that she felt like she would die from exhaustion.

So she did not hesitate to use it.

To get as much of it for herself.

Bang! Boom! Bang! Bang! Boom!

The loud sounds were nearing. Their distance from the demon follower army was now less than ten meters.

But Cordelia was not afraid. She once again cast her magic with a bright smile.

“Sunlight Yellow Overdrive.”

A brilliant yellow light made from magic appeared.

A thousand suns soared again.

The demon follower army could no longer see.

A gold flash of light covered the world.

***

“W-we lost.”

“What?”

“Karavan’s army has been defeated!”
