The obstinate wizard

Nobody seemed to believe what the human had said, it was too surreal to be real, not even in the most incredible dreams would they think they would hear something so crazy.

A single person going to fight an army was impossible, no matter how strong he was, not even the strongest mage could do it, so the rejection of the idea was accompanied by collective laughter from the dark elves.

Three people didn't seem to laugh, Gideon knew that Satoru had a strength never seen before, enough to hit a dragon and defeat it, however much he found it difficult to predict what would happen in this situation.

The king didn't seem amused, he knew there was no better chance, and from what Gideon had already reported about the young man in front of him, maybe it wasn't a bad bet. Satoru, in turn, did not like the fact that they laughed at him, his anger was already at the limit of what he could handle, before he realized it, his fist rose and fell towards the table.

Once made of solid wood made to last a hundred years, it was now split in two, the sound of the table being smashed shutting everyone up at once.

The awesome strength of the human in front of them was something he never expected to see.

"Your Majesty, what do you say?" Satoru stood up and faced the king who was also shocked by the sudden event.

"I... I approve of your plan, Gideon summons the daemon, everyone else followed her plan, we leave the rest to you, Satoru Seigi."

Recomposing, the king began to give orders and everyone got up going to do what they were told, Satoru along with Gideon also got up and left towards the tent where he will sleep.

When they arrived they explained everything to Hilda, who looked worried, but understood what Satoru's intentions were.

"Wait, is big brother going alone?" asked Envy who was also there listening to everything.

"Yes, you stay here where it's safest and help keep everyone safe, do I trust you Envy?"

Seeing her brother speak in such a serious and direct way, Envy couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, being the first time she would ever have a responsibility of this magnitude.

"R-right, leave it." Shivering she tried to look steady which made Satoru find it funny.

"Gideon, show me the way, Envy is coming with us, and Satoru, be careful." Hilda finished getting ready and looked at everyone, when she looked at Satoru she smiled.

"I know, I'll be right back."

Happy, Satoru now really had something to protect, even though he was apprehensive about having to kill, so he just had to make sure the enemies didn't get up too soon.

Leaving the rest to Hilda and the dark elves, Satoru ran through the forest, just after passing through the illusion magic that was around the city, he stopped and took a deep breath, his entire body seemed to darken and mold itself, then a black armor formed for the second time.

Knowing that his human body was limited, this form of armor didn't seem to, the fight against Litchia showed that, with the greatsword in his fists, Satoru's face changed and the armor helmet was generated, his hair was released, giving a feeling of danger to anyone looking at him now.

As fast as he could he keep running, according to the information, it had been some time before the main army soldiers reached the forest, so Satoru stopped at a tree and analyzed the enemy army.

They were many, and they need another half hour at this rate until they reach the city. There were several ways for Satoru to start the attack, the mist would be the most suitable, but if there were several wizards who used wind magic, it would be the end, or he would have to use thick mist, but then the outcome would be uncertain.

Not wanting to waste any more time, he had to go fast with this, making them back off would be the best possible so he could go back to town and help with the soldiers coming up the flank.

On the human side, the troops advanced without blinking, the path was clear to the forest, that's why they marched determinedly, many think so many soldiers are exaggerated to exterminate a race that is already in its last stages.

But for their captain, there was little caution, so the plan was to take different types of soldiers and make a separate tour on the right side to buy time until the army could reach the forest, but of course, there was also a second reason, create a group of specialists who would combine skills to take down any defenses the enemy has.

Of course, for that, they pretended to be a simple group of soldiers wanting to buy time, it seemed to be an excellent plan, so when the larger troops arrived, chaos would already be set, they would just finish the job, with the clear order of total extermination.

But something there was something they didn't foresee, as they marched, they felt as if they were being oppressed by a greater force until suddenly an uproar started when a black figure descended from the skies.

The ground shook and a crater opened, a being in black armor made all soldiers fear for some reason. In shock, they didn't understand what was going on, or who might be in front of them, but one thing they were sure of, he hadn't seemed to mean well.

"On guard, it's just an enemy, archers in position!"

The current leader in charge of giving orders shouted and all the archers prepared arrows.

"OPEN FIRE!"

Soon after, the sky was filled with arrows, this was the true definition of an arrow shower, being impossible to run from the arrows the black figure simply pointed his sword in their direction, but to everyone's surprise, the sword turned into a giant shield that protected his entire body.

When the shower of arrows touched the shields they were all repelled without even having a chance to scratch the protection of foreign material.

Of course, the archers didn't stop shooting, once given the order, they could only stop when the target died, which was not the case. On the contrary, the figure raised the huge shield and began to walk calmly, as if nothing bothered him.

"Master Albert, what is that?" In shock the soldier looked like he was going to despair at any moment, even he didn't quite understand what was happening, his body seemed to act differently than usual.

"I have no idea, send the archers back, let all the mages take care of this." The old mage scratched his beard trying to think of something, but in the end, he also felt different, his excitement at wanting to study the enemy's magic seemed to get out of hand within him.

"All…all wizards!" In shock the current leader did not know how to react, there were a total of twelve mages present, this number alone was a unique force within the army, all against a single enemy was something amazing.

"I was not clear?!"

As if possessed by something, the wizard Albert, completely changed his attitude, placing his hands on the head of the soldier who began to break out in a cold sweat.

"EVERYONE FIGHT THE WAYS LET THE MAGICIANS FIGHT!"

In desperation, the leader shouted, causing all the soldiers to stop whatever they were doing and start to open a circle, causing all the hooded men to take up their positions beside Albert.

Not quite understanding what was going on, Satoru plans to intimidate the soldiers first, then start attacking them on a large scale as soon as he defeats most the rest will flee, but now, it looked like it had turned into a school fight with the soldiers. the back and the magicians in front of you.

Turning the shield into a greatsword, Satoru faced the hooded men, for some reason he felt it would not be so easy to deal with them.

"Land devastation!"

"Land devastation!"

Suddenly all the mages started to run, making space between them, and two of them shouted their magic. The ground between them and the enemy suddenly began to rise causing massive rocks to be thrown in an attempt to crush Satoru.

Seeing the rocks come, Satoru stuck the weapon in the ground and retracted his arms to then move each one towards a rock, causing them to be shattered without causing any damage.Taking the sword back and aiming for one of the mages, Satoru didn't notice, but two other mages prepared their spells.

“Whirlwind!”

“Incendiary Extinction!

A vortex of wind shot towards the enemy in black armor, but not only him, but a blaze of giant flames also merged with the strong winds, creating a veritable storm of flames.

Having covered his entire body, Satoru felt the flames taking hold of him, so he straightened his body and began to twirl the sword causing the mist to spread and begin to take the flames for himself, creating the mist of embers.

However, the enemy did not seem to give up that easily, taking the lead, three mages joined together.

“Whirlwind!”

“Great Rise of the Waves!”

"Glacial dystopia!"

This time, the wind vortex merged with a large wave raised by the mages who hit Satoru, putting strong pressure on him, and then the thermal sensation was severely lowered, instantly freezing all the water, making the enemy turn into a big iceberg.

Not having finished yet, the two mages who would use earth magic before, have now joined with two others, and they all lift giant rocks from the ground and have the magic hurl them towards the iceberg.

However, they didn't know that it had frozen the fog of embers which, being thicker and able to take shape, was used as a barrier by Satoru, protecting him against freezing.

So when the boulders hit him, they were divided into two each. In shock all the wizards suddenly stopped, seeing the figure walk away as if nothing had happened.

"WHAT IDIOTS ARE DOING, ATTACK ALL AT ONCE!" The one who screamed was Albert giving orders as if he were desperate.

All mages abandoned their tactics, and concentrated on a massive attack, the soldiers, in turn, saw what awaited them, and began to run trying to escape the mages' range.

Accumulating as much magic as they could, the mages created a huge vortex of wind, strong enough to drag anyone who got close, soon a huge blaze of fire ignited everything, accompanied by several huge boulders.

An attack made to pierce a city wall and still destroy much of the city was the level of this gigantic magic, which had only been used in one situation.

Facing that massive blow of power, Satoru didn't back down he ran towards him, prepared to swing his sword, if he went through that nothing else would stop him.

However, he wasn't the only one insane enough, Albert suddenly knocked down one of the soldiers who was caught off guard, then the wizard took the horse and put his hand on the horse's head, which whinnied in pain and started running towards the vortex of flames and stones.

All screaming at the same time, they made the vortex go full force towards Satoru, who suddenly felt his body getting heavy and being hit by countless debris from the boulders that were broken by the force of the impact, it was something too amazing force of this blow.

But even though it was hit several times and burned at extremely high temperatures, its body armor remained even though it was damaged, it regenerated shortly afterward, when fire dissipated some stones still flew, enough to block some of its vision.

Just enough for him to still be so preoccupied with the blow that he didn't notice the old man who was seized by such ambition and madness that he had jumped from a moving horse to the black-armored enemy.

Even with the armor being in a state of fervor due to the fire, the pain of being burned seemed nothing to the old man, who stubbornly grabbed Satoru and put his hands on his head, scared Satoru tried to take him away, but he was gone. The old man's hands seemed to somehow mess with the Void, interrupted by something in his head.

Before Satoru knew it, he felt his body lose strength and the Void stirred like it hadn't done in a long time.
