Part 12 — Reinforcements

It goes without saying, but there’s a substantial difference between standing 100 meters away and floating 100 meters overhead.

“We had them cornered, but now this! This is why I hate mages!”

“No need to fret, my sister. All they’re doing is seeking to preserve their advantage.”

Having swept through the estate where the heads of state were meeting, the three had almost finished ridding it of the enemy. At the same time, a handful of the opponents they’d cornered had escaped.

The five remaining individuals, who are likely the leaders of the attack have used their magic to fly, taking refuge in the sky overhead. Once securely in the air, they debate whether to continue the operation.

“This is unexpected... That they’d take down almost all of our assassins...”

“What do we do? Should we retreat?”

“And do what, exactly?!”

“That’s right; there won’t be any other opportunities like this!”

“This is our last chance to take advantage of the confusion within the kingdom!”

The five commanding the estate attack did wonder about the lack of security where the heads of state had assembled. However, they didn’t think it was a trap intended to lure them in. Instead, they had convinced themselves that their allies within the kingdom were indirectly supporting them.

It wasn’t an impossible scenario. Unlike the Domino Republic, which had no ability to continue fighting the war, the Arcana Kingdom had the ability to fight and win. It was, perhaps, natural that they believed the faction that wanted to win and conquer was trying to disrupt the plans of the faction that believed winning would be too costly by reducing the security at the estate. It never occurred to them that the king and Lord Caputo would purposefully create a situation where they couldn’t guarantee their own safety.

In any case, this wasn’t a situation that would present itself more than once or twice. If they couldn’t get results here, they’d lose their best chance at taking down the hated usurper.

“But what do we do...?”

Whether through wind or fire, being able to fly was the mark of a first-class mage. The five above the estate were all extremely skilled with magic.

At the very least, the three below them couldn’t do anything against them.

“What do you think we should do, Eckesachs?”

‘Nothing. You don’t have the ability to take them down right now.’

While possessing the raw aptitude for every form of magical art and having that amplified through Eckesachs, there were still obviously things that Saiga could and couldn’t do. While he could combine basic techniques, he couldn’t accomplish complex tasks that even specialists found difficult.

He could cast fire spells, for example, but he couldn’t manage the precise control necessary to fly. While his situation wasn’t as bad as Shouzo’s, his control of his power when amplified by Eckesachs was too sketchy to allow him to do something like fly.

‘The only ways to deal with a flying opponent are to shoot them down using fast moving and accurate heat or lightning spells, or to fly yourself and engage them in close combat.
