There were quite a few dragon knights surrounding Wood and his men, and as for the ordinary soldiers, their numbers were also increasing after hearing the commotion.
Although Wood's words were reasonable and well-founded, the Dragon Knights and soldiers of the Kingdom present clearly did not choose to believe him.
This is normal. To them, their king is still the same king, while Wood and Rudy are just two outsiders.
Now they've come up with some random excuse to kill their king. If we believe them so easily, then what are we, the knights and soldiers, doing?
"A bunch of stubborn fools, so I don't need to be lenient with them. If I go easy on them now, even more people will die because of that guy, the God of Humanity."
Wood didn't know what the guy, the Human God, was planning to do by controlling the Dragon King, but since it was the other party's scheme, Wood had no reason to let the other party have an easy time.
But when he saw Wood unleash powerful magic and was about to kill the knights and soldiers of the Dragon King Kingdom, Rudy quickly pulled him back.
Rudy didn't know why Wood had such a violent temper. There were at least eight thousand, if not ten thousand, knights and ordinary soldiers here.
If Wood were to take this seriously, none of the people here would have survived.
"Wood, you go deal with the Dragon King who is being manipulated by the god. I'll handle these people."
Facing hundreds of dragon knights and thousands of kingdom soldiers alone, even Rudy himself was finding it difficult to cope.
But at this moment, he had to step forward. Although everyone had different positions, as a reincarnated person, Rudy could not stand by and watch so many people die tragically at the hands of Wood. So at this moment, he could only take on this great responsibility.
"Okay, then these people are yours to handle. Your own safety is the most important thing. If your life is threatened, you can be ruthless."
No matter the circumstances, your own life is paramount. You may want to show mercy, but the other person might not appreciate it.
Rudy is a special reincarnated individual, but Wood's own situation is far more special than Rudy's, and he can understand Rudy's thoughts and actions at this moment.
Coming from a time of peace, it was indeed difficult for them to raise their knives against such a large group of people at first, even if they were stubborn accomplices to evil.
If it were in the past, Wood would probably have hesitated, but the Wood of today is far more mature than when he first started the life simulation.
Whether in the world of Zero no Tsukaima, the world of Akame ga Kill!, or even the world of One Piece, which is the main world, Wood has long been accustomed to life and death. In large-scale wars, human life is the least valuable thing.
Vibrant lives are like leeks; once they die, a whole crop of people perish.
And who can say that all those who died were bad people? It can only be said that on the battlefield, there is no right or wrong, only victors and losers.
Wood wasn't a bad person, but he was definitely not a saint either. He had already given the warning and explained the reasons. These people wanted to follow their king, so Wood could only guarantee that they could all travel together in an orderly fashion.
However, considering that Rudy's strength might be insufficient to face hundreds of Dragon Knights and thousands of Dragon Kingdom soldiers alone, Wood ultimately used a composite spell on top of his original King-level magic.
Wood pressed one hand to the ground, pouring a large amount of magic into the ice beneath his feet. As Wood's magic flowed in, the icy thorns that had been protruding from the ice surface began to grow wildly, as if they had come to life.
Suddenly, barbed icy vines burst through the ice and began to grow rapidly. As the vines grew as if injected with hormones, huge icy flower buds began to sprout from their roots.
Subsequently, with Wood's ample supply of magic, these ice buds grew rapidly at an astonishing pace until they fully bloomed into enormous ice roses.
But this was not the end. The enormous ice roses bloomed at an astonishing speed, only to wither away just as quickly as they appeared.
As the falling petals landed on the ice, small blue summoning circles appeared. Then, accompanied by the sound of armor clashing, ice knights clad in blue ice armor slowly appeared!
"King-level Ice Attribute Composite Magic: Rose Knights!"
The dragon knights and ordinary soldiers present were dumbfounded as they watched as ice knights, each nearly two meters tall and wielding a knight's sword, emerged from the summoning circle.
They weren't unfamiliar with magic, but they never imagined that its power could reach such a level.
From the moment the ice began to cover the entire area, to the moment huge ice spikes suddenly pierced out from beneath the ice, to the moment ice vines appeared, to the moment giant ice roses bloomed and withered, to the moment hundreds of ice rose knights appeared, the entire process took no more than three minutes!
If it were a regular mage, they probably wouldn't even be able to finish chanting a "King-level" spell in such a short time. But the opponent not only used two super-powerful "King-level" spells, but they were also so dazzling and far beyond everyone's comprehension!
A knight from the Dragon Kingdom, disbelieving that any mage could accomplish such a feat, believed that the summoned Ice Rose Knight was merely a figurehead, and charged forward with his sword drawn.
As the longsword in his hand was about to touch the opponent, but the opponent remained unresponsive as if it were a dead object, the dragon knight became even more convinced that the opponent was all show and no substance, a mere facade.
After all, even the strongest mage has limited magical power. If these magical creatures also possess strong combat capabilities after summoning so many magical beings, then what difference is there between the mage and a demon god?
"Ding------!"
With this in mind, the knight of the Dragon Kingdom raised his knight's sword high and leaped into the air, hoping to use the momentum of falling to increase the power of his strike.
The dragon knight's slash was perfect, and the angle and position of the attack were impeccable. However, the final result left everyone present speechless.
The leaping slash landed squarely on the Rose Knight's shoulder, but the moment the longsword made contact with the shoulder armor, it didn't shatter as the Dragon Knight had predicted...
No, it should be said that something did break, but it wasn't the Rose Knight herself that broke. Instead, the knight's longsword that the Dragon Knight had used to strike the opponent, while the Dragon Knight was completely astonished, actually broke in two!
That's right. When the knight's longsword, forged from fine steel, collides with the seemingly fragile ice, it is not the ice that shatters, but the knight's longsword itself.
As the dragon knight felt his arm go numb from the recoil and stared in disbelief at his broken knight's longsword, a huge fist suddenly filled his field of vision.
With just one punch, the seemingly quite strong knight from the Dragon Kingdom was sent flying back more than ten meters, crashing into the ice and creating a deep crater before losing consciousness and falling into a coma.
The one who made the move, needless to say, was none other than the Ice Rose Knight, who had been slashed by a sword earlier but was completely unharmed.
And this Dragon Knight also used his own experience to tell everyone that these Rose Knights are not just for show; they not only possess terrifying combat power, but can also act autonomously!
Chapter 516 The Fifth Power Joins the Battle!
Knights in the Kingdom of Wanglong are not ordinary soldiers who can serve as knights. Generally, those who can become "knights" must have at least an "intermediate" level of swordsmanship to be qualified for the honor of being a "knight".
Having the title of "Knight" means receiving a monthly subsidy from the kingdom. For example, the Grerat family, who lived in seclusion in a small rural village, relied on Paul's knightly subsidy.
The knights of the Dragon Kingdom are generally of a higher skill level than the knights of other kingdoms in the Central Continent, but they are no match for a magical creature. This result naturally surprised everyone.
Moreover, the number of these magical creatures resembling ice knights that appeared on the field was not just one or two, nor a dozen or twenty, but nearly a hundred!
Their Dragon Kingdom has carefully cultivated and nurtured people for so many years, and the number of people who can be called "knights" is only about this many. But the other party has created a combat power that can rival theirs with just a magic spell. This is simply unacceptable!
As nearly a hundred Rose Knights slowly began to move, the knights and ordinary soldiers of the Wanglong Kingdom rushed forward and immediately engaged in fierce combat.
Since one dragon knight is no match, then two or three should go at once. If there aren't enough, then use ordinary soldiers to make up the numbers.
If a few dozen ordinary soldiers are no match, surely a hundred soldiers could stop their advance.
As the battlefield gradually descended into chaos, Rudy, who had originally intended to intervene, suddenly realized that even if he remained passive throughout, Wood alone was more than capable of resolving the issue.
If he were alone, he might not have been able to stop nearly a hundred dragon knights and thousands of dragon soldiers, but Wood managed to do so by summoning nearly a hundred ice rose knights.
This isn't to say that Rudy is weaker than even the nearly one hundred Rose Knights summoned by Wood; it's just that everyone has their own strengths.
As everyone knows, mages are generally fragile and physically weak. Even though Rudy trained in swordsmanship for a period of time from a young age, he couldn't entangle his fighting spirit, so his physical abilities were only slightly stronger than those of an average person.
In a one-on-one situation, with his incantation-free magic, astonishing magical power, and the ability of "foresight," Rudy could even rival the last three of the Seven Great Powers.
However, Rudy would be at a disadvantage when facing an army or similar force. After all, it's possible for one person to defeat many others, and even a novice could overpower a master with a flurry of punches.
Once surrounded, even if Rudy uses magic to kill some of the enemies, his poor physical abilities mean he will be ambushed by enemies from other directions after he runs out of magic.
But the "Rose Knight" summoned by Wood was different. Its body and armor, formed entirely of solid ice, were exceptionally hard, and even weapons could inflict damage on it.
Moreover, because they are magical creations, these "Rose Knights" have the ability to act independently, but they are not alive, let alone have consciousness or life.
Therefore, even if they were beaten to a pulp, these Rose Knights would not feel the slightest fear; they were truly fearless in the face of death.
Its only weakness is its powerful fire magic. After all, although ice is hard, its essence remains the same, and it will melt when it encounters high temperatures.
In other words, if these nearly one hundred Rose Knights were to take Rudy as their opponent, they would be no match for him at all.
If Rudy were to unleash a few powerful, uncastable fire spells, these fearless ice knights would likely be reduced to puddles of water on the ground.
Soon, the Kingdom of Wanglong also discovered the "Rose Knight's" extremely obvious weakness, and the instructors and students of the magic academy joined the battle and began to use fire magic.
However, even though the Rose Knight's weakness is fire magic, she is still a product of "King-level" magic, so low- to mid-level fire magic generally doesn't have much of an impact on her.
Only the instructors and deans of the magic academy can seriously injure a Rose Knight. As for the students, it often takes multiple people concentrating their firepower to incinerate a single Rose Knight.
And not everyone is like Wood and Rudy, possessing an absurd amount of magical power, which can even be described as inexhaustible.
Conventional magicians need an extremely long time to chant spells, and after using a few spells appropriate to their level, they will begin to experience a state of mana depletion.
The people from the Magic Academy of the Dragon Kingdom, after expending a considerable amount of magic power using various fire spells, were only able to melt nearly half of the Ice Knights present.
Just when they thought that as long as the Dragon Knights and the Kingdom's soldiers could hold off the remaining half of the Rose Knights, and once their magic was restored, they could eliminate the other half, the dark clouds in the sky gathered again...
"Saint-level Composite Magic: Thunderous Stratocumulus!"
This is also one of Rudy's most frequently used and most proficient spells. Although it is a water-based holy magic, it also incorporates wind magic, making it close to a hybrid magic. The resulting widespread and intense rain and lightning strikes are powerful enough to flood a city.
Flames can melt solid ice, but heavy rain can extinguish flames. So when the torrential rain fell from above, the fire magic of the mages in the Dragon Kingdom was instantly weakened.
At this moment, the people of the Dragon Kingdom realized that because of Wood's two terrifying "King-level" spells, everyone's attention was focused on Wood, but they overlooked Rudy, Wood's twin, whose strength was also ridiculously powerful.
The same incantationless magic, the same simple manipulation of celestial phenomena, achieving a powerful spell comparable to a natural disaster.
The torrential rain falling from the sky quickly turned into a torrent, directly washing over the people of the Dragon Kingdom on the ground. Due to Wood's ice magic, the surrounding low temperature caused the temperature of these torrents washing over the earth to drop to an extremely low level.
As the torrents swept across the land, streaks of lightning would occasionally strike from the dark clouds in the sky, leaving terrifying, enormous black craters on the ice plains.
"No, they are too strong. We are no match for these two monsters on our own. Quickly send someone to find Lord Randolph to come and assist us."
The captain of the knights of the Kingdom of Wanglong felt a sense of powerlessness as he watched the large number of soldiers and a few knights being swept away by the flood.
Even though the opposing side only had two people, while their side had the power of an entire kingdom, it was their own Kingdom of Dragons that was being suppressed.
If you told anyone, no one would believe it. Their Wanglong Kingdom is one of the most powerful kingdoms in the entire Central Continent, but now, faced with two children who are not even fifteen years old, they have been reduced to searching for help everywhere.
It wasn't that their Dragon Kingdom wasn't strong enough, but rather that the two boys who were their opponents were simply too monstrous.
Compared to Wood, Rudy's actions were much more measured. Although he used a "saint-level" composite magic, Rudy did not harm anyone. Instead, he used the floodwaters created by the torrential rain to wash away the people around him.
If the choice was to kill, Rudy could have used his more powerful lightning magic; in terms of destructive power, no element is more formidable than the raging lightning.
Just as the Kingdom of Wanglong was unable to withstand the pressure and began sending people to search for Randolph, the "Grim Reaper" ranked fifth among the "Seven Great Powers," Randolph had already arrived here after noticing the commotion. He even rescued Pacus, who was about to be swept away by the flood, and Benedict, the eighteenth princess of the Kingdom of Wanglong.
