Chapter 396: Fall of Magic (2)


    The theme of the second half of Arcadia''s crisis.


    Invasion of mechanical civilization.


    Those who first faced thiste crisis did not realize it.


    [Hey, how dare you be arrogant on the subject of metal chunks.]


    [I''ll show you the fear of organisms. It''s a trivial tool shack lol.]


    [This is a matter of pride. How can they


    talk about annihtion in front of the lord of creation?


    But.....


    Kukukukung. Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak.


    The bombardment of photon cannons pouring down from afar.


    As a result, users who were dyed gray and copsed before they even got close to it. The attacks that flew from a long distance where weapons such as swords and arrows could not even reach were powerful and boasted a terrifying 100% uracy rate.


    [Detection of biological reactions. Operation of the bombardment system operation.]


    [Photon bombardment charging..... firing.]


    “Kuh..... isn''t this aplete scam?”


    “No, you should be able to fight a little, this is a total dog death!”


    A battlefield that is not a battle, but just a one-sided massacre. Users with empty faces stare at the bombardment of countless photon cannons falling from the sky, turning gray and disappearing. And the bombardment continued without stopping.


    Completely demolish the strong castle wall.


    Completely destroying a city.


    Until the moment when all the biological reactions remaining in it disappear.


    The bombardment ceases operation only afterpletely eradicating everything without leaving a single one behind. Only then did the reconnaissance drones begin to move, followed by something new busily moving in what had just been human territory.


    [Energy supply chain construction..... Signal receiver instation.....]


    Construction drones building a production base to secure the resources and energy needed to produce an army of machines. As such simr phenomena took ce in various parts of the Japanese continent, the scale began to tilt little by little.


    [Machine civilization''s erosion rate is 9%...]


    [Completed construction of antimatter power nt. Energy avability rate increased by 1200%.]


    [Building a drone production factory. Additional creation of drones begins.] As


    the most essential facilities arepleted one by one and the area is expanded little by little, the machine corps rapidly increases ordingly. Unlike before, robots designed only forbat and obliteration have emerged from the production nts and started to move about. And the faces of Arcadia''s Crisis Management Response Team, who were watching it in real time, turned pale.


    “Isn’t this... expanding too fast?”


    Two weeks after the second half crisis began and the entirepany dered a state of emergency.


    In that short time, the Gestalts took control of most of the Japanese continent and built their own civilization. Seeing the speed of their expansion and the ever-increasing number of machine corps, their faces were filled with worry.


    “How much is the difference in power roughly?”


    In response to Executive Director Myeong-Han Kwon''s question with a serious expression, General Manager Kang Tae-Hoon checked the data while manipting the tablet in his hand, and answered with a firm face.


    “Considering that the average level of users is 150, thebat exchange rate per drone is 19:1. 19 people need to be attached at the same time to barely deal with one drone.”


    Statistics derived from analyzingbat data of users colliding with drones in various areas. Just looking at it, it was clear that these machines, which had just appeared, could not be handled by the level of the current user.


    “However, in the case of wizards, the exchange rate has been significantly lowered. If you can concentrate your firepower at a 2:1 ratio, it seems like you can take it out quite easily.”


    If warriors, pdins, and dark knights with swords shed bloody tears and cut the average exchange rate, wizards are the only ones standing out. However, at the words of Kang Tae-hun, managing director Kwon Myeong-han sighed and replied.


    “Then what should I do... I’m getting helplessly blocked by that psionic disruptor or something.”


    As if they knew what their weakness was, they used Dermian''s dragon heart to install the Psionic Disrupter as their top priority and started operating. And when the disruptor was activated, the wizards instantly turned into a level close to ordinary people who couldn''t do anything.


    -Isn’t that psionic disruptor debuff crazy?


    -Really;; I''m a 5th circle, but if I get hit by that debuff, I instantly turn into a 3rd circle wizard.


    -Is that a problem? Due to the doubling of the casting time, he died before he could even cast a single spell.


    -That''s a nobleman. Have you ever used 4 circle magic? I just went crazy.


    The magicians whose power is rapidly reduced by an enormous penalty that they have never experienced before. In particr, the video of the penalty applied to the person who cast the 4th circle was buying a huge amount of resentment.


    [I''m originally in the 6th circle. The magic that can be used after being hit by the debuff of that psionic disruptor is the 4th circle. See? But look what happens when I cast the 4th circle magic here.]


    And the rhythm game suddenly started.


    He was ying with his fingers like crazy, pressing the 8 notes and 1 turntable that came down at the right time at the right time. And it was only after a fairly long time of 3 minutes that I was able to cast the 4 circle magic.


    -Is that the penalty or what?


    -Crazy bastards hahahaha What kind of rhythm game is this all of a sudden in magic?


    -What is the difficulty...? It has 8 notes and even a turntable, but if it''s insanely fast, it''s absolutely impossible to clear even a decent master without practice.


    A level of difficulty that is absolutely impossible for ordinary people. It was a situation that users had never experienced before, but in fact, this was a system that existed from the beginning.


    [You can use super-high-level magic just because you only got a magic book? that''s not fair Let''s not dare to use even the user from the 7th circle magic, which is a stage that people with tremendous talent achieve over their lifetime. It was a restriction created with the intention of preventing the reckless use of


    magic that is so powerful that it can be called a disaster. Because of that, even the top rankers, who were the most usable forces, couldn''t project 100% of their firepower.


    “Wizards were the only weapon, but if this is the case, there is no other way


    . ”


    Although it was a self-talk, when the person with the highest rank said such a thing in a situation where everyone was listening, the atmosphere in the control room instantly became gloomy.


    “.....”


    No one said anything, just the staff with their heads down with dark expressions. In that awkward and gloomy atmosphere, someone opened the door and entered the situation room.


    “oh. Why are you all standing there doing nothing?”


    “Sir boss.”


    Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han was taken aback by her sudden appearance. But before he could say anything, President Lee Mi-yeon hinted at it with a strange smile as if he knew everything.


    “Looking at all the dark expressions, it seems that he has already given up. Things aren’t better than you thought, are they?”


    “That''s... that''s right.”


    Even if you look at this situation positively somehow and think about ways to ovee it, there is no situation at all. That''s why Myunghan Kwon started talking about the seriousness of it honestly.


    “The entire continent of Japan has fallen into the hands of that mechanical civilization. The production facilities of thosebat drones werepleted and mass production began, and as energy supply and demand became smoother, not only closebat, but also long-range artillery drones began to appear, and the bnce copsed rapidly. Even the wizards who were thought to be the only opponents are panicking about the psionic disruptor.”


    A situation where everyone, including the Mage Tower NPCs and even wizard users, were at a loss as to what to do. That''s why Kwon Myeong-han, executive director, looked at President Lee Mi-yeon and said.


    “Now, if we start expanding beyond the Japanese continent to other continents, we will not be able to stop it. Starting with the central continent of Korea, all continents will be eaten by that Gestalt.”


    President Lee Mi-yeon, who was silently staring at executive director Kwon Myung-han, who spoke as if he was predicting a definite future. She smiled slightly, then scolded him in a yful tone with a slightly rxed face.


    “Is it okay for the executive director to be so pessimistic?”


    “It''s not pessimistic, it''s the truth.”


    Managing Director Kwon Myeong-han says that his judgment is correct. However, President Lee Mi-yeon shook her head as if not agreeing with him.


    “no. Even at this moment, many people are fighting. The reason is obviously different for everyone, but they are clearly moving to protect this world they are in.”


    “That''s why we can''t despair and give up like this already. We have to work harder than anyone else to find the possibility to solve this situation and find a way to help them.”


    CEO Lee Mi-yeon fiddles with an employee''sputer for a while and suddenly maniptes the monitor in the situation room. Those who inadvertently turned their heads toward therge screen with curious eyes at her sudden action froze in astonishment.


    [Shoot! All fire!]


    [Hahahaha! Taste the power of the magic turret! You damn bastards!]


    [How dare you cross our Gael Federation? Search everything!]


    [Kukuku kung. Kwakkwakkwakkwakkwa.]


    Crowds of red light pouring far away from the huge castle wall. The Gael Federation serves as a gateway and bridgehead connecting the Japanese continent and the Korean continent.


    Just recently, due to the war with the Shoen Empire, the mechanical corps approached the ce, which was perfectly defended like a fortress, and they were showing off the hot taste of the Cannonphilia school''s special artifact, the magic turret.


    A situation where countless drones are helplessly destroyed by the destructive magic that explodes with a tremendous roar. There was minor damage, but over thousands of drones were destroyed, and they were pouring out cheers like shouts of victory.


    [Louder! stronger! Firepower is the true path of magical engineering!]


    [Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! Canonphilia school! Long live!]


    [Firepower! fire power! fire power! fire power! Gorgeous!]


    “What the heck is that...”


    “I can’t believe that... was that...?”


    just a few months ago.


    The Gael Federation, which has brought about a huge issue as a reenactment of Japan''s historical tragedy and a national humiliation. Everyone froze in astonishment as they saw those who won the war against the drones with the magic turrets that were born there.


    “Everyone knows the Canonphilia School, right? You told me the other day that the magic turret was fraudulent at the level of bnce copse and that it needed to be lowered somehow...”


    Managing Director Myung-Han Kwon grabbed President Lee Mi-Yeon by the crotch of his pants,ining that it was not that, and tried to cut it. The magic turret that made my eyes red. But at that time, Lee Mi-yeon, who had endured without batting an eye, looked at Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han with a strangely proud look in her eyes and asked.


    “Doesn’t it seem like you did well not to do that?”


    “.....”


    A magic turret that was obviously problematic in terms of bnce.


    But now, in the face of this great crisis, the magic turret was showing a new hope.


    And everyone in the situation room saw what was happening in the Gael Federation and began to have the slightest hope in their hearts.


    [Tush! Tush! Taste the magic bullet. You goddamn machine Cherries!]


    [How dare you try to rece humans? I''ll make them out of scrap metal and attack them!]


    Watching the former users as canon shooters who project magical bullets through revolvers defeat the remaining drone remnants without too much difficulty.


    And...


    [Firebolt. Firebolt. Firebolt. Firebolt...]


    [Quaang. Perong. Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak.]


    Watching a person wielding a huge iron bar that looks hideous just by looking at it, destroying drones at once, firing circle 1 magic firebolts, and turning hundreds of drones into scrap metal by himself.
