The fight was going well and Tai wouldn't let that happen.
Aided by the effective buffer provided by the summoned creatures, magical artillery fire, and the discipline of the defenders, Leonis's forces succeeded in repelling the invaders on this front. The giants hadn't even reached the city walls yet. At the same time, he glanced at the fire near the city gate and knew that he faced a dangerous battle to defend the bridge.
This is a good result, but not satisfying. So, when he drank a potion to replenish his SP, the Necromancer mentally ordered one of his followers to move towards his position and gave the explicit order to kill all but himself, Lady Yseult, and A
Everyone except ie.
Having already slaughtered Morgan's team, his [Hell's Ice Elemental] crashed through a house towards Madame Salt's team of summoners, trampling a pterodactyl and pinning it to its more Powerful body underneath. The sudden appearance of this creature disrupted the formation of the mages, and even Annie and her team interrupted their magic barrage.
Most importantly, they no longer summon allies.
Lady Selt, in the process of summoning another [Winged Daughter of Balder], had her spell disrupted and nearly found herself crushed by the rampaging creature. "Come down!" Ty yelled in mock surprise.
The Necromancer skillfully guided his servant mentally and "heroically" rushed towards the priestess and grabbed her by the waist. Before she could recover, Ty forced them both to the ground and "carefully" dodged a nail aimed at the woman's head.
Cliche to the rescue!
The truth is, the monster won't hurt her, but having an excuse not to cast the spell will only help Tae Yi's plan.
"Stay away from them!" Anne, ever the willful witch, turned to the monster and unleashed a powerful thunderbolt; that clever girl, she guessed that whoever summoned the creature would protect it from [fire] . The attack staggered the elemental, but also drove it to attack Annie's units...
Follow the order.
Ty used this calculated opportunity to drag Mrs. Soult to safety and help her to her feet. "Are you okay?" the Necromancer asked the panicked priestess.
"Yes, thank you, my friend," she said, regaining her composure, and immediately shot a ray of light at her icy assailant. Tai cast the basic buff on her so he would have an excuse not to summon additional support.
[Hell Ice Elemental] slaughtered adventurers and defenders simultaneously, destroying the magical cannon fire. Powered by demonic energy, the creature transforms from a neutral force of nature into a brutal killing machine. The corpses hanging from the icicles formed a terrible shield that struck fear into all who saw it.
However, with explicit orders not to harm Annie, the elementals found themselves repulsed by her intensive spells.
It's a delicate balance. Ty didn't want the giants to raze Lyonnes, but he also didn't want the defenders to gain a complete victory. He would not have to kill the princess or the governor's servant who died today. The Necromancer hopes for a pyrrhic victory, as his own armies remain intact and all opponents are too weak to stand against him.
in A
Left alone under ie and Yseult's spell, the monster eventually exploded into shards of ice and snowflakes, but the damage had been done. With no magic to back them up, the giants closed in.
One of them managed to grab hold of the wall with both hands, crushing an archer who, because he was too unlucky to run away in time, raised his head and passed the fortifications. Wulong immediately shot him in the eye, causing him to faint, but more people tried to break in.
"Things are getting out of hand," Lady Se said, going from summoning to destroying the intruder with a bright beam of light. Meanwhile, Annie and the survivors of her unit return, blasting the giants with comets and other spells. "I'm worried about Her Royal Highness and your disciples."
Yeah, not that much.
In fact, his servant soon returned to him and stayed with Morgan. It didn't take long for him to guess what was going on, and the relieved smile on his face came from the bottom of his heart. "We survived," Laufey said, pretending to be exhausted. "We managed to survive...that monster."
"Lauffy saved me," Morgan said, massaging the newly healed scars on her back. Although she looked genuinely distressed, the Necromancer noticed a hint of twisted joy in her eyes. "I used magic to close the wound, but I need to heal."
"Okay, take it." Tai Yi took out a bottle of potion from his belt and handed it to her, looking at the girl's shadow calmly. It flickered briefly, revealing its wings, then quickly returned to normal. The witch confirmed his thoughts by drinking the potion greedily as if it was her first time.
The experiment was successful.
And to his surprise! She didn't burn in the sun or reveal her true undead nature! Ty wondered how a soulless vampire vessel and a disembodied shadow demon interacted, but his theory was dismissed Proved correct. The binding successfully blends the two into a perfect whole.
But after surviving this battle, he will have all the time to work on his new creation.
"We have to reinforce the main entrance," Mrs. Sert announced as the explosion in the area resonated throughout the city. "We can't let them get a foothold here."
"I'm leaving," Tai announced, casting a [Acceleration] Charm on himself to increase his speed. "Lauffy, Morgan, you manage this place and protect Anne and Mrs. Searle."
They were the only ones he liked and couldn't be invaded.
"My friend, you cannot go alone!" protested Mrs. Soult.
"I could call for help," he said, before running recklessly toward the second line. The priestess summons him, but finds herself forced to go back and kill the giant. Meanwhile, Laufey and "Morgan" smiled maliciously at him from where no one else could see. "I want to help the princess!"
In other words, he would make her die faster.
As he hurried through the deserted streets, civilians already running towards the few castles in the city, Ty regretted having to maintain his disguise. If he could show his true abilities, he would fly across the battlefield with his magic and kill everyone.
Now, he has to run, and agility has always been his weakest attribute.
When he arrived at the other front, he found that the situation was much more serious than when he left.
As expected, the giants burst through the main gate. While Lyons' guards pulled the bridge out of the water, a giant witch froze part of the lake, creating an ice path that armies could walk across; though it was too small to have more than one giant at a time Enter, but trolls and ice orcs are already pouring in. Thanks to the barricades, the city guards, including Percy, heroically held their ground, but the trolls returned again and again.
To make matters worse, the leader of the giants has entered Leonis and carved a path of destruction through it. He now engaged the defenders near the market area.
…
His shop! His experiments!
At this moment, nothing else matters. Not the princess, not the battle, not the city. Ty's mind was completely focused on saving his store from destruction.
The necromancer climbed on top of a house and ran across the rooftops of the city to avoid barricades, the sidewalks littered with corpses as orcs gnawed on them. He soon reached the market area, or rather the place where he had survived the Titan's rampage.
He stopped at the edge of a house, which was very close to his shop.
The good news is, his home is intact.
The bad news is that the princess is still alive and she joins the elite warriors in fighting the nearby giant leader. Tai noticed a knight wearing golden plate armor and wielding a silver spear, whom he assumed was the leader, a masked witch, and a number of other warriors who radiated power and experience. His gut told him that most people were in their 40s.
They mainly focus on destroying the giant leader with spells or fending off the ice trolls that follow him, while the titans try to smash the princess with their war hammers. The royal changed her clothes into sleek silver armor and a sword of light, allowing her to move with incredible speed and agility.
From what he observed, the situation seemed simple. The giant may have singled out the princess as the leader of his enemies and focused his attention solely on her. He tried to trample her underfoot, rain down destruction on her with his war hammer, and destroy nearby buildings in an attempt to crush her like a bug. The princess was on the defensive, moving around the behemoth, trying to confuse it by taking advantage of its natural slowness and lack of open space.
While most of his troops fend off the trolls, the leader supports the princess by bombarding them with spears of light. He mainly aimed at the gap in the giant's legs, trying to knock him down; but his [light] magic failed to destroy the monster's magical ice armor, turning the situation into a tense blockade. The archers tried to support their lord, but their projectiles bounced off the giants, causing no damage.
He was growing restless.
"Fear the wrath of Utgard, lord of the Jotuns!" the giant leader roared in his native tongue, understood only by his men and Tai. "My roots are mine, little people! It's my right! In the name of Heim!"
This gave the alchemist pause.
Helm, one of the five catastrophes prophesied to bring Ragnarok, is also the potential conqueror of Jotunheim. Huge winter queen. Could it be that she ordered the invasion for more than just plunder? Is Convergence really a natural disaster?
Tae promised to investigate after he won.
"Ice bomb." The giant raised his war hammer and his body sprayed icicles in every direction, destroying houses, tearing people to pieces, and destroying sidewalks. Even the giant's orc slaves were not spared. The Goliath's intentions are clear: create more open space to maneuver while rapidly injuring "smaller insects." Because his trolls can regenerate from wounds, they always stand up.
While the leader managed to create a barrier of light to protect his allies, the princess simply ducked, running around the giant's ankles and piercing his armor with her sword. Although the Titan was angry, he didn't seem hurt. He attempted to overpower her in retaliation, his weapon shattering the house and nearby warriors but failing to hit his primary target.
Level 20 means nothing! She lied about her true power, this woman who doesn’t trust others! She needs to at least get to level 30!
in spite of. From his position, Ty had a perfect angle to shoot her in the back. Fireball went awry and was a distraction at a crucial moment. The Necromancer gathered his forces and prepared to launch a coup.
"[Muspelflame]," he said, his magic condensing into a tight sphere of lava that burned with fire in his palm. All he has to do is aim.
The princess walked directly in front of Ty, and the giant leader raised his hammer to crush them both.
His shop!
Acting entirely on instinct, the Necromancer hurriedly changed his target and shot the Jotun Utgard in the face.
His fireball shattered his ice helmet from the side, blasting the giant's head into a shower of ice, brains, and colorful blood. The force of the explosion caused the Colossus to roll backwards and crash into its own troops, making a terrifying sound.
Tai Yi was speechless for a moment, realizing what he had done.
Almost immediately after that, the cracks in “convergence” stopped widening and, in fact, began to narrow. The trolls were horrified and shocked by their leader's sudden death and broke formation, fleeing the spells and weapons of their defenders.
The necromancer glanced at the princess, who looked at the giant and then at Tai himself, seeming to recognize him. "You...you killed it..."
Tae also couldn't believe he missed his chance to kill her.
"You!" The knight in armor shook his fist at Taiyi to show his pride in brotherhood. "You saved us all!"
……No.
No, no, no!
"This!" To make matters worse, a spellcaster who frequented his "boiling cauldron" recognized him. "It's the alchemist!"
Now that they have seen him and recognized him, he has no chance of killing the princess secretly!

A shouting pure ice horn appeared in Tai Yi's empty hand, proof of his failure.
"Around! Aspects! Aspects!"
The cheers from the defenders made him want to vomit with embarrassment.
After the tragic death of their leader and the end of the Convergence, Jotun's war effort completely collapsed. Some giants scrambled to retreat before the rift could be closed, while others, like the trolls, were left in disarray. When royal troops arrive to rescue the Lyons, they find the city has been victorious, leaving only the stragglers to kill. The eldest witch was killed by Anne's comet, while the youngest fled to Broxhamde Forest with a few survivors. The day was won.
Princess Gwen Haifa did not die like a martyr, but lived like a hero.
Being the magnanimous royal that she is, she gathered everyone in the city's main square to pay their respects in all directions. As he stood with the day's heroes in front of a crowd of cheering townspeople, Ty noticed Laufey grinning at him among the supporters, "Morgan" beside her.
She knew that cursed elf. She knew how he screwed up, he hated it, she thought it was funny.
"You must be glad she survived," Anne said beside him, her cheerful smile making him relax a little. The young witch had the highest kill count in the battle so far, Take
u follows closely. The Necromancer hoped she could take a few levels from it.
On Tai's other side, Percy smiled happily. "I'm just glad there weren't too many casualties," he said, and his defense of the city gate earned him more respect than he ever had as an adventurer.
"I really wish Morgan was dead," Taklu muttered beside Annie, and the witch squeezed his shoulders. "What? She's an arrogant bore."
Ty couldn't agree more, but with a demon at the helm, the redhead's behavior would only improve.
At length the princess came up to them, followed by Lady Searle and the armed chief. She first placed a gold pin on Wu Lung's head, praising him for his rigorous defense of the city walls, which the Japanese man accepted stoically. Then she walked over to Anne, the two women exchanged bright smiles, and Her Royal Highness fastened the shining pin to her coat.
After Princess Gwenhyfar is done with Anne, she confronts Ty.
"Last but not least, Walter Tay." Although the woman's words were gentle, the crowd's applause could not be louder. "You have proven your valor by slaying the evil Utgardians and saving Leonis from destruction... and my life."
"Thank you for saving this city and your Highness." "Know that the Kingdom of Avalon will always be grateful to you."
"I just want to save my store," Tai answered bluntly. Anne and the crowd laughed because they took his words as a joke. Even Mrs. Soult laughed.
However, the princess remained as serious as ever. Her face is like a pristine mask, as if any expression of emotion betrays her vulnerability. Still, she pinned the gold pin to his shirt. "I may need your help soon," she said, low enough for only him to hear.
People applauded Tai as the princess started decorating Percy next. But most of the crowd was only focused on the Necromancer, the hero of the day.
He hates this. Fame meant scrutiny and the end of his quiet, methodical routine.
However, when his eyes fell on Morgan, the Necromancer remembered that he had an ace up his sleeve.
The day has passed and a long night is approaching.
