Chapter 1276: Wings of Flame and Divine Sword Imitation

「「「 Haaaaaaaah! 」」」

「Impossible... My ultimate barrier...!」

Thanks to the coordinated attack of the Red Knight Captains, Laranflura’s protective barrier shattered.

Simultaneous divine-attribute attacks from four directions were evidently too much for her to handle.

Considering the sheer power involved, I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a massive explosion, but it seems the barrier had absorbed much of the force. The impact on the surroundings was only a faint breeze and slight tremors. The inaugural upload of this chapter took place via N0v3l-B1n.

That said, Laranflura took the brunt of the attack, so she fell to one knee.

「Grah! Holy Mother! What are you doing?! Hurry up and reinforce the barrier!」

「Agah!」

Immediately after Laranflura’s shout, the Holy Mother let out a pained cry. And just like that, the barrier was reconstructed.

However, Laranflura’s expression remained one of anger.

The new barrier was significantly inferior in performance to the one that had protected Laranflura earlier. The thinness of the mana and distorted shape were obvious to see.

At that moment, Apollonius closed in at an insane speed. True to his alias, “Wings of Flame,” the fiery wings on his back produced an astonishing acceleration.

Moreover, he held a gigantic spear made of flames in his hand.

「Eat this!」

Having transformed himself into a massive flaming javelin, Apollonius collided head-on with Laranflura.

He easily pierced through the new barrier as if it never existed.

Laranflura guarded with her left arm, which got sent flying from the impact. The red javelin had pierced straight through her shoulder. Though not a mortal wound, Apollonius had gouged out a portion of her body.

Laranflura’s thin barrier completely vanished, and her movements came to a halt.

Sibylla and Yuvel’s long-range attacks continued flying in, shaving away at Laranflura’s flesh.

Avenger remained vigilant by Persona’s side, realizing that his offensive capabilities would be lacking. When push came to shove, he seemed to have chosen the role of a meat shield. Given his personality, that’s a surprisingly astute decision.

However, Forrund was nowhere to be seen. I did a frantic scan, and noticed he was just behind us. It seems he was hiding with the power of a sword for perfectly concealing his presence and magical energy.

Was he hiding because he was injured or something? No, there was something unusual going on.

I could tell with just a glance. The deep red magic enveloping his entire body was anything but ordinary.

「To me.」

「...Nn.」

His exchange with Fran was still as inexplicable as ever. However, Fran obediently stepped back, clearing Forrund’s line of sight.

「Hah... May the gods bear witness. My power unveiled, befitting your favor and...」

Forrund began a lengthy speech, or rather, a verbose chant. In response to the words, he began radiating a divine aura. And at the end...

「Divine Sword Imitation.」

Within a pillar of red light, Forrund forcefully clasped his outstretched hands in front of himself.

That became the trigger, and complex magical runes made of red light formed on the back of his hands.

A vast amount of mana was discharged like lightning, and converted into divine energy. Light overflowed from his clasped palms.

Finally, the divine aura dyed the surroundings dazzlingly as it turned into a flash. When the light subsided, Forrund held a massive metal object in his hands.

It was a peculiar weapon, resembling a gigantic sword with a massive hammer attached. Perhaps it would be more fitting to describe it as a siege weapon than a sword.

And we recognized that colossal weapon.

「Gaia, the Grand Earthblade...」

『Yeah... there’s no mistaking it.』
