Finally, it was Reiger...
Well, he had already started to solo.
He seemed to be quite infatuated with the feeling of instantly blowing everything around him away with a "Nuclear Explosion", every time a giant guard rushed out from the city, he always teleported directly to the densest part of the enemy with a "High-level Teleportation", and then it was a "Maximum Enhance·Nuclear Explosion" that exploded on the spot.
Under the effect of this explosion, which had a very wide range, and among all the rank magic, it was considered one of the top in terms of attack range, Reiger honestly felt like he was facilitating a nuclear flattening of the world. Once a "Nuclear Explosion" went down, everything quieted and became peaceful.
In such a scenario, even if the giant guards had extremely high "endurance", comparable to Lv.7, they would still crumble directly in the massive explosion.
Originally, "Nuclear Explosion" did not have such great power, but who would have guessed that it possessed a half fire attribute?
Because of this half fire attribute, this magic, quick to activate, with a wide effect range, and able to induce various abnormal states, one of its only downsides—that it lacked sufficient damage—was directly compensated for.
The remaining downside, which was that it did not discriminate between friend and foe, merely required Reiger to make sure to avoid our main group before using the magic, and to shield himself with a "Radiant Green Body"; then, it was as if this downside did not exist.
So, , using it over and over, Reiger really became addicted, feeling that this magic was even more thrilling to use than the area-of-effect instant death magic "Banshee Scream".
If it weren’t for the fact that there were people from the Meipros family around, and even Liz the little princess, Reiger would probably have used not "Maximum Enhance·Nuclear Explosion" but "Max Range Increase·Nuclear Explosion."
You should know, if Reiger used range increase to enhance the "Nuclear Explosion," its attack range would definitely be large enough to blast the giant guards, Liz, Nipede, and everyone from the Meipros family into the sky.
This made Reiger increasingly feel.
"Maybe, I’ve really touched the edge of a strategic-level magician."
With Reiger’s current level and "Magic Power" parameters, the strongest magic he used, after being doubly enhanced by "Magic Guidance" and "Magic Chanting" development abilities, and further enhanced by the "Sun’s Pioneer," was definitely earth-shattering.
The super-ranked magic "Skyfall" is an example—before Reiger had leveled up and gained the "Magic Chanting" ability, he had managed to blast through the heavily guarded first three layers of Nasalik Underground Tomb. Now, not only had he leveled up and gained the "Magic Chanting" development ability, but even "Magic Guidance" had been enhanced; what kind of spectacle would it be if he used the super-ranked magic "Skyfall" again?
What if he used "High-level Victory Sword," the area-annihilation magic?
This magic, personally taught by the strongest magician of Oural, was not only fire-attribute, belonging to the enhancement range of "Sun’s Pioneer," but also capable of large-scale attacks, its power comparable to the super-ranked magic "Skyfall."
"In terms of firepower, damage, and output intensity, ’Skyfall’ might be higher."
"But in terms of attack range, as an area-annihilation magic, ’High-level Victory Sword’ is superior."
"And super-ranked magic can’t undergo magic enhancement, but Earth Mistake World magic can."
Before, Reiger had used "Un-chanting Magic·Arc-shaped Beam," proving that Earth Mistake World’s Blessing magic could be enhanced with special skills from the Overlord World.
But super-ranked magic could not undergo magic enhancement—it was a magic system setting of "YGGDRASIL," one even full-level pure magic chanters like Ainz could not defy.
However, magic born from the blessings of Earth Mistake World was clearly not included.
Thus, Reiger could completely enhance area-annihilation magic like "Simultaneous Fire Spear" and "High-level Victory Sword," increasing their effect range and power.
"’Maximum Enhance·High-level Victory Sword’...?"
Reiger had a feeling that if he wielded this magic, then its power would absolutely far surpass the tactical level.
By that time, could he use this magic to destroy a large city, or even a small country?
As long as he could, then Reiger would be the ninth strategic-level magician in the continent of Akasha!
"Strategic-level magician..."
Reiger hovered in mid-air, his expression flickering.
He had no interest in becoming the highest-ranked magician in the continent.
For him now, even becoming a strategic magician regarded by others as a weapon of war, desired by nations, he believed that the Ginas Kingdom wouldn’t dare restrict him with the same methods they used to restrict Yuri.
However, if his strongest attack truly reached strategic-level firepower, he probably had one target in mind.
Thinking this, Reiger looked around the cavernous room, at the ground beneath his feet, and then at the ceiling, his lips curling slightly.
"Now is not the time..."
With that judgment, Reiger activated a teleportation magic, and took back several autonomously flying guardian cores he had prepared.
Reiger’s actions naturally attracted considerable attention.
"Is the crystal that flew out from the body of the giant guardian of any use?"
Nipede found a moment, and asked Reiger this question.
Reiger did not hide anything.
"This thing is the core of the giant guardian. As long as you have this core, you can regenerate giant guardians directly using certain construction magic."
Without caring about the shock this statement caused, Reiger explained.
"To be able to directly generate giant guardians...!?"
Upon hearing this, the people from the Meipros family, including Revin, could not help but covetously gaze at the crystal Reiger held tightly in his hand.
They were all too aware of how strong the giant guardians were.
If they could control these giant guardians and deploy them on the battlefield, how formidable would that combat force be?
In the chaotic battlefield, such high-attack, high-defense, and highly durable giant guardians would certainly be a key weapon in siege warfare, wouldn’t they?
Thinking this, Revin and others naturally felt tempted.
However, just as they were getting excited, Reiger suddenly threw cold water on their hopes.
"Don’t get too excited yet."
"First, we don’t know the method to create giant guardians, just as you must learn a certain construction magic to create certain objects."
"Secondly, even if the giant guardians were created, they would only act according to the magic programs set at their creation—that is, they would follow the purpose for which they were created and not do anything beyond that."
"The purpose of these giant guardians was clearly to protect this Ancient City."
"This is a magic program set when the cores were created - it cannot be altered, cannot be replaced. So even if you were to regenerate the giant guardians, using them for anything other than protecting this Ancient City would be impossible."
This cold water quenched the flames of desire in the hearts of the Meipros family.
What Reiger did not tell them was that, after regenerating the giant guardians, starting them up required a huge amount of energy.
This energy was actually the radiant glow invested in the core when the giant guardians dissolved magic beasts and worms in their internal space while feeding.
And apart from this place swarming with magic beasts and worms, where else could one find so many magical creatures to feed the giant guardians and convert into energy outside?
"Therefore, they only have some research value left."
Reiger weighed the crystal in his hand and said this.
"Let’s not think about this anymore. It’s more important to proceed."
Hearing this, everyone nodded and began to move faster, expediting their progress.
