732 The Barbarian King’s Death
The sea is safe. The orcas will no longer be a problem. And after Graham defeated a master level wind mage who was also a tamer, more monsters were freed.
There were still some monsters belonged to other tamers, and some others who still fight everything out of rage even after being freed. But the others won’t be troubled much by them.
The real problems were the master level mages, and other strong monsters who were still under the control of the enemy’s tamers.
But after Graham defeated a tamer, it became easier for everyone. Not easy. Just easier.
Everyone continued fighting. Other than those who were injured and needed healing.
But now that everyone is fighting, the enemy’s master level mages didn’t have any chance at all to use their powerful and destructive magic like before. And other strong tamed monsters also couldn’t do such attack as well because they were ordered not to attack their masters.
The monsters, such as dragons, have powerful attack that could be considered as strong as the master level mage’s destructive magic. But fortunately for Roy’s group, the tamers didn’t expect that their order would backfire. And that made things easier for Roy’s group.
And those tamers also didn’t know that they should order their tamed monsters to not care about their own master. And even if they knew, the monsters would just happily attacked their masters and kill them if possible.
There were many things that the enemies should do but didn’t. Especially the enemy’s tamers. Which made Roy’s group gained some advantages.
.....
Even the, winning is still difficult. The others couldn’t easily defeat the enemies they were facing.
It’s because of fatigue. The rest they took before raiding the lawless country was not enough to recover their stamina fully. And even if they had Mana Potions, it’s not like they can drink them anytime they want. And some even had their bottles of Mana Potion destroyed during a fight.

The only thing they can rely on to recover their stamina is the angels’ healing. As for Mana, they can only use magic sparingly and use their most powerful magic only when they are confident that they could kill the enemy in front of them.
And there’s another thing to do. It’s to raise the morale.
Everyone is too tired. But if their morale raised, they could have more strength to continue fighting.
And there’s already a situation where they could get their morale raised. By killing the Barbarian King.
One person is already trying to do it. Alone.
She’s Angela. The person who got recognized as the strongest mage in the continent because of one tournament. Though that tournament didn’t have any master level mage participating. So it could still be said that Angela is the strongest mage below master level mage.
And in fact, right now, Angela is fighting a master level mage, the Barbarian King, equally.
The Barbarian King was unlike any other master level mage. Even if he only has ice element which has reached master level, he was much stronger than any master level mage that Roy and his friends has ever faced.
Not only he was stronger than any other master level mage. The Barbarian King was also someone with a lot of fighting experience.
The Barbarian King had been a king ever since he defeated the previous king of the lawless country. The pirate who founded the country.
Ever since, he accepted many challenges from other powerful mages. But he defeated them all with just his ice magic.
Even then, all his experience couldn’t prepare him from the fight against Angela.
Whenever he attacked with his ice magic, Angela would protect herself with fire magic. And it’s not just fire magic.
She made a barrier from wind and fire magic. Which protect her and melt the ice. And she also could combine other elements she has. Like earth and fire. Or even ice and fire. Which made the Barbarian King’s simple attack couldn’t reach her.
And when he was about to cast slightly more powerful attack, Angela would try to intervene his casting by using her fastest Wind Slash. Combined with earth element to made the Wind Slash more durable, and also fire element to made her Wind Slash melt the Barbarian King’s Ice Shield which he made in a hurry.
“What is this? A burning wind? Burning earth? And even burning ice? What are you?!”
The Barbarian King panicked seeing such use of magic for the first time in his life.
“I’m a human. A mage. The person I love called me genius. So I guess I’m a genius,” Angela said as she continued attacking the Barbarian King.
“But you’re still just an expert level mage!”
Angela’s attack were blocked by the Barbarian King who this time used Ice Shield and pushed through. Using brute force.
The Ice Shield melted a bit, but it’s still enough time for the Barbarian King to reach Angela even though she tried to retreat.
The Barbarian King is a master level mage. With stronger physical attack than other people. Even more when he sometimes trained in it. By killing those who challenged him for the title of the king without using magic.
A bit like Roy, he had explosive speed enough to reach Angela who had wind magic in split seconds. Even if it’s only useful in short distance, it’s still enough to reach Angela.
“I bet you never fought a mage like me before.”
The Barbarian King confidently said that as he about to throw a punch at Angela. But he would never expect what’s coming at him.
Angela swiftly dodged his punch and stood right in front of his open chest.
She then cupped her hands together in front of his chest, and four different elements gathered together there as she was about to release her magic.
“A mage like you? Never. But I have trained in a fight against the strongest fighter,” Angela said as she released her magic.
Four elements clashing together concentrated at one point, and exploded right in front of the Barbarian King’s chest.
The Barbarian King managed to cover his chest with ice, but the damage was too big. Not on the outside, but his inner organs were destroyed.
“Ugh... what... magic is that?”
“Something I prepared for a close-range fight that I might get a lot in the future. I have been practicing with angels, vampires, and werewolves. Strong humanoid monsters who can fight really well. And also an Aura user. I don’t know if we will have to fight others in close-range in the future, but I’m glad that I practiced with them.”
Angela replied to the dying man’s question. His heart has been partially destroyed, and it’s a miracle he could still talk for a bit longer.
“What is... your desire?” the Barbarian King asked.
“To be the strongest mage and achieve everything that I want to get with everyone I love and protect them,” Angela replied.
“...That would be difficult. But I hope you who defeated me can achieve your dream.”
The Barbarian King finally breathe his last breath. And Angela achieved Victory after a hard battle.
Soon after Angela no longer sensed the Barbarian King’s life, she fell on her butt to the ground. Fighting him took everything she got. And she even coughed some blood after overusing so many magic.
The result needed to be announced. But Sonia was still busy fighting other ghosts. So she signaled everyone that the Barbarian King is dead.
She raised her finger to the sky, and with the last bit of Mana she had, she shot a fire that exploded in the sky.
Seeing the firework, everyone paused for a bit before someone finally shouted.
“THE BARBARIAN KING IS DEAD!”
It was Jewel’s voice. She was ordered by Roy to shout as loud as possible after seeing the firework as a signal. Telling everyone that the Barbarian King has been killed.
Roy told Angela and Jewel about that plan right before they approached the Barbarian King and the Archbishop. Letting the loudest person other than him to raise the morale of the group.
Roy himself saw what happened. But he was still busy fighting the Archbishop who was surprisingly stronger than anyone he has fought.
That’s why he couldn’t say anything. He could only observe everything while busy fighting with the enemy in front of him. He couldn’t say anything to raise the morale of the group.
The Archbishop was someone very strong. Even after fighting so long, he wasn’t tired. Neither was Roy. But the end of the battle still couldn’t be seen.
The two were fighting fiercely. Somewhere far from where the others were fighting. But still close enough for Roy to watch the situation with his Divine Vision.
“So this is how strong an Aura user is, huh? I’m kind of disappointed. I’d like to talk more with you, but since he died, I have to get serious before the others can come here,” the Archbishop said.
“Don’t worry. I haven’t been able to use my full strength since I was observing the others fight. Though it is surprising that you’re far stronger than anyone I ever fought. Let’s end this, shall we?”
