"C-Clementine! The Beastmen… they're charging!" Before everyone had fully recovered from the unprecedented magic Elizabeth had unleashed, Bel 'Lu' pointed towards the Beastmen camp and shouted.
"Hmm?" Elizabeth had just finished casting Holy Healing on that suicidal Adventurer. She turned her head and saw the distant Beastmen main camp. A group of Beastmen, brandishing their weapons, charged out. Leading them were cavalry riding lizard-like magical beasts. They charged immediately after being bombed. Indeed, these Beastmen were quite intelligent! Elizabeth thought.
"Immediately send people to reinforce the city gate! Where are the archers! Archers, prepare quickly! All Adventurers, please prepare to face the enemy!" The Captain immediately gave commands with a tense expression.
"Little sister! While your magic is indeed powerful, it has completely enraged those beasts," one of the Adventurers beside her said with a helpless smile, then picked up his weapon.
After witnessing a single attack that could annihilate nearly two thousand, the Beastmen commander could no longer sit still. Launching an immediate attack was indeed the most sensible course of action, as magic of such power, based on the natives' common sense, shouldn't be cast repeatedly, right?
If they dragged it out for too long, once the opponents recovered, another explosion would be very troublesome, so they chose to launch an all-out assault?
However, they were facing Elizabeth, who was beyond the common sense of the natives! So! Bring more, let me accumulate more experience! Elizabeth thought, then once again leaped onto the edge of the city wall.
"Hey! Little sister, are you crazy?!" The Adventurer beside her was startled by Elizabeth's actions, fearing she would be targeted by the Beastmen's archers or druids. He quickly tried to pull Elizabeth down.
"Don't worry about me, and you don't need to be nervous. They can't hurt me… Arrow Flight Defense activate," Elizabeth said confidently, turning her head to the Adventurer at her feet. She activated a scroll for resisting ranged attacks. These were all prepared by Elizabeth beforehand and could be activated directly. She had to be prepared for ranged attack methods.
"They're within range! Archers, prepare!" The Captain saw that the Beastmen cavalry had already charged within range and immediately gave the order.
"This number… it's not good, Captain!" The guards holding bows began to tremble as they saw the overwhelming number of Beastmen charging towards them.
The Captain could only silently look at Elizabeth, who stood on the edge of the city wall, still wearing a confident smile. Perhaps this child still had some trump card she hadn't revealed.
"No need, you just stay and watch…" Elizabeth turned around and said with a smile.
"Eeeh… I'm going to be eaten, I'm going to be eaten," Bel 'Lu' huddled in a corner, trembling with her head in her hands. This guy is really something.
Well then, it's time to act. They've charged so close, some cavalry have already started shooting arrows at me. Their response is indeed well-done, using cavalry with archers to charge and eliminate the ranged magic casters?
Unfortunately, the arrows only flew up to Elizabeth and then seemed to hit something, useless, useless… Even arrows shot by Beastmen, who are known for their strength, couldn't break through Arrow Flight Defense.
"Then let's have another one! Magic Range Expansion activate! Huh??" Elizabeth wanted to use the Magic Range Expansion scroll, but nothing happened. Ah! Right! She had already used it when saving someone just now! Elizabeth's expression changed as she remembered this.
The other Adventurers saw Elizabeth, who had been smiling, suddenly change her expression, and they thought the situation was bad. Their expressions also turned grim.
Uh… this is difficult. The first shot already gave me a rough idea of the attack range of my Explosion Magic. Even with the secondary damage from the heatwave, it's not enough to eliminate so many Beastmen in one go. Should I take out a scroll from my bag in front of these Adventurers?
Setting aside the issue of exposure or not, my (self-proclaimed) setting is that of a great magic caster, yet I'm using magic scrolls. And this scroll cannot be made with the natives' technology. Moreover, there are several Adventurers who are magic casters standing right at my feet; they would definitely be suspicious.
Then should I use that? With its power, even if it doesn't clear out all the Beastmen at once, it's enough to leave them with psychological trauma. Although there's also the option of casting Explosion Magic repeatedly, if the range isn't enough, then make up for it with quantity!
Although one Explosion Magic spell would completely deplete Elizabeth's MP, with her special constitution, it only takes three seconds to recover to full after being depleted, so casting it repeatedly is very easy. But wouldn't doing so be too low-class?
It's not romantic at all. And currently, I'm still under anti-detection status, so Astrology Thousand Miles can't see me, but it doesn't matter if they do.
When I encountered Death Knight in Wu Da Forest, I already tricked Death Knight by starting with Ultimate Magic. The old veterans of Theocracy should also know that I can use Ultimate Magic.
Then… it's decided. I'll return the experience points from those two thousand people to you! Elizabeth thought.
"Hmph hmph! Heh heh! Wahahahahaha, I gave you a chance!" Elizabeth, who had been standing on the edge of the city wall, was agonizing there amidst the arrow rain, then suddenly burst into confident laughter again.
"Now… let me show you true magic! Ultimate Magic… Activate!" Elizabeth raised both hands to the sky, imitating Ainz. Of course… activating Ultimate Magic doesn't require any 'activation' or anything; it's for romance, romance!
At this moment, Elizabeth was surrounded by circles of magic arrays emitting pure white light. Everyone on the city wall was stunned.
After all, they had never seen such complex magic arrays. It was mentioned earlier that for offensive magic, the size and number of the magic arrays generated during casting could largely determine the power and effect of the magic.
However, the magic array for this 'Ultimate Magic' cast by this little sister… had already exceeded everyone's imagination.
The Beastmen, seeing the white light suddenly flash around the human standing on the city wall, also realized something was wrong. Almost all their firepower turned towards Elizabeth.
Unfortunately, neither arrows… thrown stones nor magic could break through Elizabeth's defense. But even so, they still did not retreat; instead, they charged madly towards the city gate.
How could I let you approach the city gate! That magic is completely different from the previous Explosion Magic; this is direct damage magic, with no secondary damage like storms or high heat.
And because this was only the third time Elizabeth had used this magic, she wasn't very good at controlling its range, so she set the bombing target at the entrance of the Beastmen's main camp.
Based on the last time she bombed her own arena, the range should cover the central part of Heigen, but those who charged to the city gate would definitely not be affected. Although it's a bit wasteful, I'll crush one here!
Elizabeth, still posing, reached into her upper pocket and pulled out the hourglass Ainz had given her. Although it was a consolation prize from a gacha, this item was one less each time it was used. In the future, she should think carefully before deciding which magic to use!
This time, it was her own miscalculation. Crush it!
Elizabeth thought, then directly crushed the hourglass in her hand…
