Book 20 Chapter 12
Episode 182
“Senior Sarandis's military accomplishments recorded in history are numerous, but there are almost no detailed records of them.”
Lystar's party didn't come to this grand plaza without any preparation. Since they had information about the enemy's identity, there had been a prior discussion while breaking through to the grand plaza.
“Most of them are summary descriptions like, 'When Lord Sarandis drew the holy sword, all situations were already over.' In my opinion, that's not a summary or an exaggeration.”
“Lystar, are you saying…!”
“Yes, Naiseimon is Shirphen's twin holy sword, so it probably used the same time-series ability. Perhaps that ability is even stronger than mine.”
“No way, even so.”
“They say Senior Sarandis received 30% of the dragon spirit from each of the five True Dragons. In other words, their soul itself possesses power equivalent to 1.5 times that of a True Dragon.”
“What? Can a human body even endure something like that?”
“After several such trials and errors, the current Fae Warrior training system was established. It was a first experiment, almost suicidal, a prototype, so to speak.”
While Sarandis Alter Naiseimon was like that, the combat data of the other three members of the 'First Hero Party' was quite extensive.
Among them, the information on Jurak Keppel, the founder of crystallization magic and the [Grand Mage of the Hero Party], was regarded like a saint in the magic world, with an unparalleled amount of data.
If you look at all of that, you'll realize that while Sarandis's party was clearly a prototype of Lystar's party, their combat style stood in complete opposition.
“We prioritize coordination, don't we? We fight by focusing on combining and maximizing each other's skills.”
“So, Sarandis's party felt like they were completely playing solo? Even though they were a party?”
“Of course, cooperating against the same target was the same, but they fought in a way that didn't suppress each other's individuality at all.”
The point to note is that when it was time to deliver the decisive blow, they primarily favored giving Jurak time to cast high-level magic.
Why was that?
Talents who aimed for the absolute peak during the Great Demon Subjugation Operation a thousand years ago? The [First Hero Party], who were said to be so arrogant that they preferred fighting according to their own individuality rather than cooperating?
“So, if they left it to that old man Jurak, they always won…”
Lystar nodded at Friede's sigh.
“I can't accurately gauge how powerful that firepower is, but perhaps we can assume it's similar to the magic Rin poured out during the <Langbard> siege? Since they're both grand mages.”
“No, hearing that suddenly makes me want to run away. How are we supposed to stop that?”
“There's no choice. We might have to directly face firepower we've never heard of or seen before—no, firepower we've only indirectly experienced through Rin's support fire.”
