Physics The Greatest Magic - Chapter 312

“EHHHHHHH!?!?” Satire shouted out as they soared through the clouds

The strong gust of wind, knocking onto their skin, gave them a refreshing feeling as the snowy mountain scenery looked as if it had come straight out of a fairy tale. It was phenomenal.

Unfortunately, there was little to no time to appreciate it, as they had bigger concerns on their mind.

“Calm down, we’re nearly there.” Said The Bright Sword

“T-THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!! YOU KNEW ANCIENT FLIGHT MAGIC!?” Shouted Satire full of surprise and amazement

The shadow platform which they stood on, had now suddenly started to descend at fast speeds, scaring the wits out of her. Shera and the Bright Sword on the other hand, were doing just fine.

In fact, the Bright sword seemed to have his eyes focused on something beneath them, but there were too many things going on for the others to notice.

“We’re here.” Stated John

“Hey… John… That’s not fair…” Muttered Satire as she held in her urges

Confused, John tilted his head as he faced her and she shook her head in response. Now wasn’t the time to get distracted, and she knew that clearly.

“Flight too…? How overpowered can you get?” She whispered

The Dark platform they were on, suddenly stopped in the middle of the air out of nowhere. They were all alarmed, but they quickly went to check the edges of the platform to see what was happening as barely any time had passed since they first got on to the platform.

However, when they did, they felt their stomachs sink. Beneath them was the village and there was only one word in that moment, to describe what they were seeing.

“It’s Chaos.” Said The Bright Sword

Many of the buildings were covered in a dark flame, some guards could be seen panicking while others could be seen actively trying to put out the flames with water magic, however it was ineffective.

However, that wasn’t even close in comparison to the bone chilling sight of the burnt corpses and screams of pain coming from all over the village.

‘Where are the adventurers?’ Shera wondered as she scanned the area

Her eyes widened at the sight along with the others as they saw that the adventurers guild was engulfed in flames. Upon seeing this, a cold glare was formed on her face as she aimed her sights on the strange figures moving from the within the guild to the outside.

“What are those…? Shadow summons?” Satire asked

They were strange shadow figures, submerged in the ground, their shapes were irregular but humanoid, each of different sizes. Some had risen from their shadows and were slaying anything in their sight, in one clean sweep.

As she watched this, Satire realized that they weren’t what Satire had originally considered. After getting a closer look, she realized something odd about these shadow figures. However, before she could tell them, she noticed Shera was already on the verge of leaping off.

“Wait those aren’t regular-”

*Swoosh*

Before Satire could stop her, Shera leapt off the platform which was over 100 meters in the air, heading straight down on the adventurers Guild.

As she did so, she gave a quick scan of the surrounding once again and in that instant, she found them.

The adventurers, they were all gathered up near the entrance of the village as there seemed to be an even greater threat there.

*Crash*

She crashed straight into one of the food stalls, landing safely in the process. She then gave a quick look around, and noticed a bright crimson glow coming off from the entrance of the village, alongside the adventurers.

A smile was formed on her hidden face as she muttered. “I’ll leave it to you…”

She then let out a sigh, letting out a strange purple breath as her purple eyes began to glow. She then gave a quick look around before grabbing onto her daggers which were also glowing.

She was surrounded, by strange shadow figures with a glowing white core implanted in their c.h.e.s.ts. She didn’t know what they were, so underestimating them right now with the village undergoing destruction wasn’t an option.

She was going to go all out.

“No civilians nearby, check… Sacred Treasure First Form…” She muttered

Purple mist began to gather around the young girl as her daggers began to glow more and more. The mist engulfed everything around it including the girl, causing her figure to disappear within it, along with the shadow figures.

“She just charged straight in…” Satire muttered in disbelief

“Ha ha, I should probably get going too.” Said the bright sword

“About that… Will she really be fine? Splitting up is a bad idea… Those things… They’re not regular summons… They’re lesser demon summons…”

Lesser demons were a race relative but inferior to the of demons and great demons. This race, like other demon races, could be summon via a dark ritual involving dark magic. Although as a summon, it would be significantly weaker.

“Who, Shera? She already finished them off.” Said the bright sword as he pointed at the ground.

Despite being a simple fog, it rampaged through everything like a wild beast. It even appeared to take the form of a strange dragon-like creature who’s shape was undefinable.

What was more bizarre about it, is that once it got near to civilians, the fog would clearly make it’s way around the civilian to avoid it, so that they wouldn’t get killed by the cross-fire.

“Y-You’re telling me, that’s Shera…?” Satire asked

“Yeah… It’s thanks to her sacred treasure… It comes at a great risk though…”

“Risk?” Satire asked

“You don’t have a sacred treasure yet, so you wouldn’t know… The first form can only be achieved when confronting your Sacred Treasure.” Said The Bright Sword

‘Confronting…?’ Satire wondered

“That said, It’s about time I join in… Shera and other adventurers are handling the lesser demons in the village… So I guess I’ll do some searching… Satire, you’re good with long range spells right? Stay up here.” Said The Bright Sword

Before Satire could reply, The Bright Sword suddenly leaped off the platform. Heading straight down into the village.

“I see… understood.”
