Chapter 190 - The Power of [Black Flame]

"Damn it. We can't go on like this, Leon."

"I know, Ars-sama. We should gather those who can use [Atmos Wall] as soon as possible."

"What are we going to do? I'm sure it's best if we can fortify the perimeter with a high wall, but we'll never make it in time."

"We don't need to completely surround ourselves with [Atmos Wall]. Only the walls in the direction of the catapults will be reinforced. It doesn't matter if there are gaps between them. If there are little enough gaps between the walls to prevent large rocks from being thrown, we should be able to prevent damage even if the walls are similar to combs."

"I see. Not a bad measure. Anyway, let's mobilize everyone to protect ourselves."

　Large rocks from the catapults were flying one after another.

　To prevent this, we immediately began to take action.

　The position that we had built using [Wall Construction], which creates a 10-meter high wall, would not be enough to prevent their attacks.

　Having made that decision, we immediately began to move.

　We gathered up the ones with the most mana and cast [Atmos Wall] at appropriate intervals.

　It's not very evenly spaced, but it still creates a fence-like wall that's 50 meters high and 5 meters wide.

　Having supervised the work to some extent, I watched as the large walls prevented huge boulders from reaching their destination, and then moved back inside the camp.

　I rushed to the spot where one of the big rocks had landed.

　The Uruk had made a very nasty attack.

　Even though I was moving around to prevent the large rock from flying at us, the rock that had landed inside the camp was still burning.

　It was an impossible sight to behold, with pitch-black flames.

"This is Uruk's higher-level magic, [Black Flame]. ....... It is true that the flames don't burn out until the target disappears..."

　I wouldn't have been in such a hurry if the opponent had just used ordinary projectiles.

　However, it was a different story when they were large rocks that had been affected by magic.

　The Uruk family is proud of its high-level magic, the [Black Flame] spell.

　It's a really terrifying magic, even if I had heard about its effects beforehand.

　Black flames cling to the target and continue to burn until the target is completely consumed.

　It's the same thing with the big rocks.

　The first large rock that landed on the ground was still burning even though its surface was melting into mush.

　However, it seems that [Black Flame] does not burn everything.

　This is because, although the large rock is burning, the black flame itself is not spreading to other things.

　I guess it's not surprising if you think about it.

　If the black flame burns everything and does not disappear until it is burned, then it will not disappear until it burns everything it comes in contact with in nature.

　Such magic would be impossible, as expected.

　And, if that were the case, it would also affect the Uruk side, the one who used it.

　However, that does not mean that this flame is not dangerous.

　Naturally, it is hot because it is burning, and it emits such high heat that just getting close to it might burn your lungs from inhaling the heated air around you.

　Even though the black flame does not spread to other things, it still has the effect of burning other things with the heat it emits.

　What is burned will catch fire and turn to ashes as usual.

　Just the fact that the black flame doesn't spread is astounding enough.

　Moreover, the large rocks that were burning were also adding to the damage.

　They were turning into sludge-like lava.

　But even if we poured water on them, we could not extinguish the flames.

　It would be impossible to put out the fire properly.

"I want a full report of the damage. Make sure the food and Valkyries are moved to a safe place. Understood?"

　As I said that, I put my hands on the ground and channeled my mana.

　I pictured my magic flowing into it.

　It's a good idea to have a fireproof brick building that covers the large rocks that landed in the camp and are still melting.

　I used magic to create a building that looks like a pot placed upside down on the ground, completely sealing the large rock.

　This way, at least the lava created from the melting of the rocks would not flow out, and hopefully, the black flames would be extinguished by the sealing and blocking of the air.

　But no one else could do this instant magic.

　I was the only one who could deal with the large rock that had just arrived.

　I had people bring me all the magic recovery medicine they could find and ran around the camp to contain the large rocks that were causing damage.

"Leon, if we keep going like this, we're going to run out of steam. When is Carlos-sama coming? Will he even come?"

"... Carlos-sama will definitely come, and Ars-sama must be sure of that and take command. If you don't, your allies will be upset."

"But, you know, it's already been three days since our position was attacked.　If they don't attack the encircling Uruk army from behind, we won't last long."

　Three days had passed since Barca-Graham's army had been surrounded by the Uruk army and had begun to be attacked.

　During that time, we've been resisting them really desperately.

　However, there had been quite a lot of damage here.

　This was because the attacks by the Uruk forces were more vicious than expected.

　The leader of the Uruk army, Pessi, attacked us using higher-level magic [Black Flame].

　This alone would have been difficult for us, but then the Uruk forces began their siege as usual.

　The surrounded Uruk soldiers came running towards the wall of the camp with ladders and other equipment.

　They also attacked us with bows as if to support themselves.

　Naturally, we had no choice but to deal with them.

　I hurriedly climbed up the wall of the camp and started to intercept them from above.

　However, when the situation continued to some extent, Pessi's [Black Flame] was used again.

　It seems that since it is higher-level magic, the【Black Flame】cannot be used many times in a row.

　However, with a break in between, the attack of [Black Flame] is occasionally used as if it were remembered.

　A large blazing rock flies at those who are climbing on top of the wall to intercept the Uruk attackers.

　Naturally, there will be damage to us as well as themselves.

　Then, at the timing when we were weakened by the attack of the large rocks that had [Black Flame] cast on them, the main actor of the attack was switched to the soldiers of Uruk again.

　To be honest, if it weren't for the slime pools outside our camp, we probably wouldn't have lasted three days.

　Though it seems that much of that slime has been burned.

　There was no doubt that we were running out of time if we kept defending here.

　We need to get out of this situation.

　However, Carlos, who was supposed to be the one who carried the expectations, has not appeared at all.

　The original plan was that Carlos would attack from the back of the Uruk army while we were holding out, and the Uruk army, seeing this, would withdraw their troops.

　If Carlos did not come out, this operation would not be possible.

　Should we just wait for Carlos to come?

　Or should we think of a way out and do something while we still had the strength to move?

　Wounded, we were at a crossroads in the midst of a desperate crisis.
