< Chapter 123 - Meteor Strike #2 >
&
The Pleiades had magic, and so the concept of air combat was established, even though there were no aircraft.
The existence of flying wizards and flying mounts such as griffons, pegasus, and wyverns.
Therefore, even if Uder used unfair means, he did not think that he would be able to settle into the system safely just by ‘flying’.
Because just flying towards the system normally would have been like screaming for it to be shot down.
So what should we do?
“There is no choice but to fly strangely.”
Uder’s idea was as follows.
“After ascending to a height where the enemy cannot or will not observe, proceed with forward maneuvers and dive at high speed in a near-vertical flight path over the heads of the regime.”
It was a similar idea to dive bombing.
A meteor crashing down on the heart of the system.
Hence Operation Meteor Strike.
Of course, it was difficult and at the same time reckless.
Even if it was Archangel’s Ship Erotica, if it had done something so reckless, it would have had to be scrapped after just one flight.
But it didn’t matter.
“It’s disposable anyway.”
If it’s just one one-way flight, make it a grand one.
Upon hearing Uther’s story, Landius burst into hearty laughter, and Lucas smiled awkwardly, almost like, “I don’t know, but if that’s how you are, then that must be how it is.”
And Adelaide, who was in charge of controlling Erotica, smiled brightly and said.
“I love it! I really want to do it!”
It was an answer worthy of a four-dimensional character representing Hero Chronicles 2.
Uther and Cordelia, who had never thought that she would reject them in the first place, looked at each other and smiled happily.
And now.
In the erotica that soared toward the sun, everyone felt what it was like to defy gravity.
“Ooooooooooooooooooo!”
Adelaide roared with a breathtaking beauty, Scarlett and Kaisa screamed but were not screams. Red Wind almost- no, he just started crying.
Higher, faster.
Stronger!
Pure white trails decorated the sky.
It soared with lightning speed and reached areas that would never be reached by normal flight.
“Whoa!”
Erotica began to draw gentle curves as Adelaide alone screamed.
A world above the clouds, where there are not even any clouds.
Everyone, who had been able to collect their wits thanks to the brief moment of quiet flight, looked straight ahead and let out heartfelt exclamations.
A height that even Scarlett, who ran around on the rooftops as if it were flat ground, Landius, who flew around kicking the sky, and even Lena, who had wings and could fly freely, had never reached.
The boundary of the stars.
The line that divides the sky and space.
Of course, it didn’t touch the line.
There was still quite a distance to go to the line.
But it was true that among all those who had lived in the Pleiades, they had entered an uncharted territory that no one had ever reached before.
Uther looked back at Cordelia.
As if it had been a promise, Cordelia also looked back at Uther.
The battles unfolding on the ground.
The disasters were strong.
Each and every one of them was like a natural disaster.
But strangely enough, I wasn’t that worried.
The words of Count Bayer and Count Chase came to mind naturally.
I realized the difference between my past lives and now.
[The world today is not weak. It will never succumb to disaster.]
I nodded to Velencia’s whisper.
The Black Star of the Stars.
Gail and Adelia.
Seven-Slaughter Sword and Sword Guardians.
Princess Leica.
Elune.
Illyana, Queen of the Sirens.
Count Bayer and Count Chase.
It wasn’t just them.
There were more.
Warriors of the wild lands led by the wild avalanche and red gale.
The leaders of the Order of the Holy Cross.
Although we weren’t able to form a deep bond, we were able to meet Sarah and Leon, and the cute Kirara who is struggling on the ground.
There must have been fighting everywhere.
In order not to succumb to disaster, this time to stop the great summoning.
Uther and Cordelia took each other’s hands. They lightly interlocked their fingers and then burst into laughter without anyone saying anything first.
“This is the last fight.”
“Let’s get married when you get back.”
“Didn’t I tell you not to raise the flag? Huh?”
Instead of answering, Uther kissed her, and Cordelia smiled and accepted his lips.
We had accepted each other several times over the past few days, and even last night, so as not to leave any regrets, but I couldn’t help but feel special.
“let’s go.”
“Okay, let’s go.”
For a perfect happy ending.
Uther and Cordelia whispered softly and looked straight ahead.
With Adelaide’s cheers, the trajectory of erotica changed once again.
A nearly vertical descent.
An incredible journey with the help of gravity, something we’ve all been defying so far.
“Hold on tight!”
Adelaide smiled coolly and pulled the joystick.
Scarlett and Kaissa screamed as the ship suddenly tilted, and Lucas also gasped for breath. The five Paragon heroes did not take it lightly either. It seemed as if Red Wind had half fainted.
“Let’s go!”
Operation Meteor Strike.
A pure white meteor hurtled towards the system.
&
Gail and Adelia looked up.
Count Bayer and Count Chase smiled bitterly.
Princess Leica saw it.
Elune looked up to the sky and shouted.
A pillar of red light pouring down towards the system.
A pure white trail added on top of that.
Ambassador Manuela also noticed.
He raised his head and opened his eyes wide as he presided over the ceremony deep within the palace of the system. He cursed at the presence of erotica pouring down from beyond the ceiling.
“Shoot it down!”
The order was given.
The demon followers who were guarding the system looked up at the sky.
Demons and mines fired magical barrages to destroy the pouring meteors.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
A loud noise followed.
The sky seemed to be falling apart as the explosions continued.
But the erotica didn’t stop there.
The fall – no, the descent speed was too fast to be shot down by magic fired from the ground.
“Hey, stop it!”
“We must stop it!”
Now it wasn’t just about stopping the descent.
Fear of the pure white meteor itself began to engulf the institution.
Of course, even in the midst of all this, Ambassador Manuela did not forget an important fact.
He was able to draw one conclusion after seeing at a glance that the pure white meteor was erotica.
“It’s not an attack, it’s strength.”
Inside there would be the five heroes of Paragon and the demon slayers I hate so much.
So, there was no need to worry.
That pure white meteor would have killed its own speed.
Aim for that moment.
Shoot it down when it’s slow enough!
The idea of the ambassador permeated the system.
The minions and demons understood his thoughts.
When you look at it rationally, it was the right thing to do.
But right after that.
Soon the mines and demons realized.
I screamed at the reality that ignored things like rational reasoning.
“Shoot, it’s pouring!”
“Don’t stop!”
Didn’t slow down.
Rather, the speed gradually increased.
Acceleration due to gravity.
The driving force of erotica itself.
Ambassador Manuela’s face became blank.
The minions who remained in the system could no longer even think about shooting down Erotica. They were busy turning their backs and running away.
“damage!”
“Run away!”
I split the binge.
A loud noise tore through.
A pure white meteor rained down from the sky and struck the Imperial Palace of the Empire!
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh …
The heavens and the earth shook.
The earth shook with such a tremendous impact that the surrounding area was turned upside down as if a real meteor had fallen.
Operation Meteor Strike.
And the grand explosion that caps it all off!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Erotica exploded.
The final flight ended in a glorious conflagration, burning down the system.
Crazy stuff.
No matter how much erotica was thrown at the system, or how much of a huge explosion was caused, it could not blow up the entire system.
While they were able to destroy parts of the palace protected by powerful magic, it was absolutely impossible to bring it all down or kill the Archbishop located deep within.
But why?
Why such a dog death?
bang!
At that very moment, there was another loud noise.
And a huge magic circle covered the sky.
Bellastine’s magic circle.
It was disposable.
The duration was not very long.
But it was enough to buy time for landing.
The mines were finally able to see.
Ambassador Manuela could understand what those wicked men had done.
Just before Erotica begins her steep dive.
Adelaide pressed the button in regret.
After separating the cockpit from Erotica, I followed Erotica’s butt, which had turned into a pure white meteor.
Cordelia and Lena’s magic.
Added to that is the flight of the Phoenix.
Everyone was focused solely on erotica.
All eyes were captured by erotica.
The result of this.
The erotica that destroyed the system’s defenses and the cockpit that leisurely landed in the gap.
“Operation Meteor Strike.”
If it was just strong, it wouldn’t have been given this name.
“Fuck, bang bang bang!”
Cordelia shouted cheerfully and ran out of the cockpit of the Erotica with its open front.
From here on, the group had to carry out their respective missions once again.
“I wish you good luck.”
Lucas said as he set up Clausolas.
Uther also nodded, and Cordelia responded by clasping her hands together.
Not everyone turns to the ambassador.
Uther, Cordelia, Landius, Lena, and Kamael.
Only five of them head to the center of the palace. The rest of the group stays here to prevent the mines and demons from interfering with the final battle.
This story was possible thanks to the special structure of the palace and the descent ritual currently taking place.
By colliding erotica, a path opens up leading to a single intersection, and blocks that path.
“Sister, I believe in you. I believe in you too.”
Red Wind said, clenching his fist.
Belkian and Fran smiled at Landius, Lena, and Kamael.
“It’s the same as before.”
“Show me a miracle this time too.”
Fight in the Paragon Royal Palace.
Landius, Lena, and Kamael fought against the Demon Prince, while Belkian and Fran held back the Demon Prince’s army.
It was the exact same structure as the fight back then.
“May your muscles always be with you.”
I hope that this greeting will never be the last.
Landius, who left a greeting with a smile, did not look back. He ran ahead, and Kamael and Lena followed behind him without hesitation.
Uther and Cordelia looked at Lucas, Scarlett, Kaisa, Red Wind, and Sun Song for the last time. Instead of saying anything, they greeted them with their eyes, then turned around and started running.
“Okay, let’s play.”
Belkian took off his plague doctor’s mask.
He smiled with a wrinkled face and waved his hands vigorously.
“Today is the last day.”
The biggest and final fight.
So I won’t spare anything. I’ll pour out my all at this moment.
Following Belkian’s hand, numerous green circles appeared in the air.
Inside, countless undead poured out, roaring.
The death knights sang and took up their swords.
The Death Wizards – Those Liches summoned clouds and covered the sky.
The vampires bound by the oath to Belkian appeared, each leading their own retinue.
And one more thing.
The masterpiece of the necromancer Belkian.
A heavenly disaster that will turn even hundreds of thousands of undead into henchmen.
“Kurularararararararararara-!”
A huge roar shook the system.
It was a gigantic, massive body that sent shivers down the spines of all who saw it.
Ancient Bone Dragon.
The greatest and strongest undead in the history of the Pleiades, created using Malekith as material.
“You’re like a crazy old man.”
Fran burst out laughing at the absurdity of it all. Instead of looking up at the two hundred meter tall giant that towered over her head, she stared straight ahead and waved her hands.
Nature answered Fran.
Although the land was oppressed by demon followers, Velasti’s magic circle still had its effect.
The spirits of the earth rose up.
The wind spirits gave me strength.
Water spirits rose from deep underground and guarded Fran.
Hundreds and thousands of undead and hundreds and thousands of spirits.
Red Wind was slightly intimidated by the magnificent sight, but soon regained his energy. He clenched his fists and sent Phoenix flying.
Scarlett and Kaisa also laughed.
I felt both joy and bewilderment at the sight, which made it hard to believe that only a few people had infiltrated the heart of the enemy lines.
Indeed, the five heroes of Paragon.
The scale of your work is different.
But that was it.
Scarlett and Kaisa never thought that they wouldn’t be needed in this fight.
The demon followers who remained in the system suddenly flocked in.
Numerous monsters rushed in, and powerful mines and demons each showed off their power.
One of them.
A warning left by the swordsman.
The reason he came here with us.
A being who made Lucas guard the crossroads instead of participating in the fight against Archbishop Manuela.
“Maximilian de Avis.”
Representative of Archangel Auriel.
The most gifted being in the Pleiades.
He covered his entire body with celestial weapons and raised the holy sword, Barisada.
Lucas responded by holding Clausolas, and Kenshin also grabbed the Ultimate Six – the final sword, Balkazad.
“Disciple.”
The swordsman called out softly.
But Maximilian did not answer.
He charged forward, spreading the wings of the reverse angel.
Lucas blocked Maximilian’s path.
The upright light of the Holy King blocked the wrong light.
The final battle that will determine the fate of the world.
The fight for the system has begun.
