Chapter 122: Called Up Silence
“Magic item?”
When he heard Shien’s voice, Baydr’s eyes flashed and his frown became more pronounced.
“Could it be that they still have some kind of trump card?”
Baydr’s expression became unbelievably dark. He even started to contemplate retreating.
Shien, Vivian and Diere were already three unexpected variables that completely ruined the plan that he had previously thought foolproof. Now though, now only did they fail to save Jillian, he himself even received a nearly mortal wound. If his opponents still have other cards to pay, then Baydr wouldn’t want to stay here despite his hatred and anger.
After all, he’s not lacking in time. He’ll have a chance to come back in the future when his injury was healed and make everyone here pay for today.
Especially Shien.
He definitely had something to do with Jillian’s betrayal.
Thus, it was easy to imagine the amount of hatred he bore for Shien. Not taking revenge for that is a complete impossibility.
Therefore, Baydr had already starting considering retreat.
However, what had happened next had Baydr rather dumbfounded.
“It’s finally time!”
That level 68 knight captain Balon, who wasn’t any use up until now, acted as if he found an opening or finally remembered a finishing move. He glared hatefully at the Old Demon Faction while pulling out a tattered piece of parchment.
It wasn’t just Balon either. Everyone else also hurriedly pulled out tattered pieces of parchment and set their aims at the Old Demon Faction.
“Diere!”
“Got it!”
When they say this scene, Vivian and Diere exchanged a glace. Then, one pulled back her shield, the other sheathed her blades, and both started retreating.
Those happenings made Baydr react with caution.
“Ready yourselves!”
Baydr immediately gave the order, and all the Old Demon Faction members who were about to chase after Vivian and Diere also put up their guard.
Both sides dropped into a strange situation. Both were glaring angrily at each other without a word. The air was filled with a sense of the calm before the storm.
Finally, Balon was the first to break and raise the “magic item” in his hand high up into the air.
“[I’m a pig! A pig with a dream! Come kill me if you dare! Come on!]”
A clear incantation echoed across the burning camp.
“Defend!”
The Old Demon Faction member who acted as the head of Baydr’s direct subordinates instantly reacted and yelled out. All the other members chanted defensive magic together, releasing waves of magic power that formed into barriers or walls of magic power before them.
They reacted quite quickly.
Only…
“Whoosh————!”
Where everyone thought that there would be a titanic clash of power, instead, all that happened was a gust of wind blowing past, kicking up some dust.
“Eh?”
Baydr and the rest of the Old Demon Faction were completely full of question marks.
“Cough…”
Balon’s face turned red with some embarrassment.
Nothing had happened.
Just as Baydr was feeling confused, two others walked forward from behind Balon.
Those two were Leon and Eudrice. When the Old Demon Faction attacked, they happened to have been with Vivian at the time and was thus protected by her, so they had managed to avoid being killed.
When Vivian had arrived, the two of them had also followed along and mixed in with the crowd. Only now did they finally show themselves.
“Allow me! Sir Balon!”
“That’s right! Those who dared to attack our camp! Allow Leon and I to make them pay for it!”
Leon and Eudrice gave a declaration of justice as they held up their own “magic item”.
“[If you’re a man, then do me already!]”
“[Yamete!]”
Both of them loudly shouted in a clear voice.
“Defend!”
That Old Demon Faction subordinate once again gave the order, and the other Old Demon Faction members once again chanted and activated their defensive magic to take the oncoming attack.
However, once again, nothing happened at all.
“…”
The field sank into an awkward silence.
The second after, every knight and adventurer with a “magic item” all started loudly shouting out.
“[My Fucking God! Grant me power!]”
“[I am with my King! Mine King’s name is Billy! Shake in terror! Brats!]”
“[Love is a flash of light! You’ll turn green in a panic!]”
“[For the Horde!]”
“[Flame Dragon Armor! Henshin!]”
In that moment, all the humans there started wildly chanting those “magical incantations”, and all of them loudly at that.
However, all that such loud and vigorous shouting got them was complete silence. All that they called up was complete silence.
And yet, everyone only thought that they weren’t yelling loud enough, so they just kept on shouting louder and louder, to the point where their faces were turning red with exertion.
“Pff!”
Shien couldn’t hold it in anymore and started laughing uproariously.
The members of the Old Demon Faction just looked at one other before finally turning to Baydr.
Baydr’s face fell. He felt like he was being toyed with. The anger in his eyes turned fully into killing intent, erasing all thoughts of retreat from his mind.
“Kill them all! We’re not done until each and every one of them are dead!”
Baydr’s brain had been completely overcome by sheer rage.
This time, the Old Demon Faction no longer hesitated and charged forth once more.
Vivian wanted to meet that charge in defense, but Shien held her back.
Shien observed the Old Demon Faction charging at them in a rage. Then he took a look at Baydr, who was completely blinded by anger, and quirked his lips.
“Now is the time for the real thing.”
Under Shien’s observation, the Old Demon Faction attackers descended.
Leon and Eudrice, who just came out of the crowd to act, became the first targets of the vicious butchers coming at them.
The two of them were terrified and hurriedly shouted.
“[If you’re a man, then do me already!]”
“[Yamete!]”
“[If you’re a man, then do me already!]”
“[Yamete!]”
All that those shouts with all their might got them was the attackers lethal strikes.
How that they’ve confirmed that it was all just a bluff, the Old Demon Faction no longer hesitated and just attacked head on.
“[If you’re a man, then do me already!]”
“[Yamete!]”
Leon and Eudrice’s voices had already turned into high pitched screaming.
In that instant…
“[Tinder]…”
The real deciding blow had finally come.
“Boom!”
With a thunderous explosion, violent flames swept out from behind Leon and Eudrice. It swept forth like a crimson wave, avoided Leon and Eudrice, and swallowed up countless members of the Old Demon Faction.
“Aaaahhhhh…!”
All of the Old Demon Faction members, being completely unprepared, were consumed and burned away by the flames.
“No!”
Baydr finally showed a shocked expression and screamed out.
However, all that Baydr’s shout got him was silence. In the end, it did absolutely nothing.
If the Old Demon Faction were still on their guard, activated their defensive magic, and were spread out, it would have been impossible to cut all of them down with just that single spell.
However, since they were all charging in without any defenses, with how close they were and with such good timing involved, the only result that awaited them was compete annihilation.
That was Shien’s real goal here.
For the sake of not letting a single one of the Old Demon Faction escape, and for the sake of not allowing Baydr to retreat, Shien crafted such a theater.
And the result was that all of the Old Demon Faction members were turned to charcoal and killed.

Shien is truly a pig teammate, and I like that.
