'Operation Synchro' is a go!

OVER and OUT!]

The moment that Duke Charles's command came through, the commanding officers on ground issued orders to their respective forces; commencing the operation with the opening act by the Mages and A-ranked Adventurers.

The early morning sky was brightened up by a plethora of multi-coloured lights flashing in the sky, with Evan looking up to see an array of tier 2 and 3 magic circles in the sky.

All the spells were simultaneously activated, raining down various things, ranging from flaming rocks to lightning bolts, water streams, earthen spears and many more.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

Looking at the sight of the colourful spells raining down on this ruined town, a certain thought popped into Evan's mind, one which he voiced out loud.

"It's beautiful…"

***KAAABOOOOOOOMMM!!!!

Even after the rain of spells crashed into the northern part of the town, resulting in a large explosion of blue-coloured flames and black smoke.

"Wait up! Didn't my chemistry teacher say that blue flames aren't supposed to produce smoke? Then what the fuck am I looking at?!"

It was honestly a miracle how Evan was able to think about such a thing after seeing the sight part of the town in flames.

The majority of the adventurers and soldiers around him had their jaws drop in shock as they had never seen so much destruction happening in a single instant.

One had to understand that this ruined town was a relatively large one, on the verge of being promoted to be called a city.

Unlike the one where Evan and Lensa fought, this one covered an area of nearly 300-kilometre squares, and the combination of Tier 2 and 3 magic spells fired by the A-ranked adventurers and the mages, had already wiped out one-third of said town.

It's only understandable that they were momentarily shocked by this. On a side note, the Tier 3 spells used weren't even remotely close to the most powerful things in the arsenals of the A-ranked adventurers who launched said spells, and yet, they still dealt much more damage than most master-level existences could at full power.

In fact, the ones who managed to keep their cool definitely deserved an award for being able to manage that feat.

However, before the shocked ones could recover, the second wave of magic spell circles lit up the sky once more, taking advantage of their higher elevation to accurately target strategic points in the town with high numbers of clustered presences.

"Fire!"

With the Major's command, the second wave of magic spells was launched towards the town, and just when the foot soldiers were wondering if they'd have anything to do at all, something happened.

Multiple curved thick layers of black light manifested above the areas the spells targeted, shielding the town, the undead, and the demonic hand members who managed to survive the first set of spells from further harm.

The spells exploded upon contact with these magic barriers, however, the barriers remained sturdy, barely cracking as they prevented even the smallest bit of further damage from coming to the town.

Naturally, this alarmed everyone watching, as even the ones who had been shocked to a stupor by the earlier explosions recovered their wits almost instantly.

Seeing this, Evan's expression narrowed in displeasure as he tossed all thoughts of his chemistry class out of his head.

"Liches…"

"Definitely Liches."

He heard the voice of the light green-haired A-rank adventurer, moments before a singular figure floated up into the air and gazed at the attacking force over the cliff with its glowing red inferno sights.

A quick look at it confirmed the presence of a distinct miasma of death flowing out of it. Looking at it caused overwhelming pressure to take hold of the hearts of the weaker members of the attack force.

Its body was a skeleton, with its bony fingers covered in multiple rings glistening with a bewitching shine that Evan could clearly make out with his enhanced vision.

It wore a black robe, darker than the night itself along with a trio of magic artifact necklaces.

Evan appraised the monster, with his eyes widening as he grabbed the transmitter on his ear and shouted into it.

"Cover your ears! Use magic to cover your ears!! Give the order now!!!"

The boy's magic-amplified voice was so loud that a lot of soldiers heard him and reflexively did as he said without having to wait for orders from their superiors.

Even the A-rank adventurers who were initially confused immediately did as told the moment they noticed the lich's teeth chattering abnormally.

"KIIIIIIIYYYYAAAAAAEEEEEEEEEKKKKKK!!!!!!!"

The next thing that resounded across the area was a loud screech that made Evan wonder if this lich had banshee blood in it when it was alive.

There was a weird ringing sound that reverberated in the ears of those who weren't fast enough to protect themselves, disorienting them and even making the weaker ones drop to the floor and bleed from their ears.

Tisha who was beside Evan, instantly reacted, shooting into the air with enough force to crater the ground where she stood as she dashed towards the lich while chanting and activating multiple light magic spells.

However, in response to the multiple incoming Tier 3 magic, the Lich just stopped its weird screech and rose its chin slightly before opening its mouth and speaking with a bone-chilling voice.

"You are not the only competent mage here, woman."

It rose its bony fingers and summoned a crooked staff which it waved in front of its body while weaving spell formations.

**BOOMM!!!

The darkness and light spells exploded into a cloud of grey smoke that signified the start of an aerial battle between the two mages.

Before the shock of the two grandmaster-level existences fighting could even properly set in, there was another loud explosion from the town, coming from the parts destroyed by the original spell barrage.

The dust cleared up to reveal a 7 feet tall headless armoured knight, with a dark aura of death emanating from its entire being, dragging a large cleaver on the ground in one hand and holding a helmet in the other.

Evan didn't even need to appraise it to tell its grandmaster status, and neither did he even have the peace of mind to as the Dullahan rose its large cleaver in the air, filled it with an enormous amount of death magic power and swung it downwards all in one swift motion.

A large black slash was released in the direction of the attack troops, tearing a straight line through the town as it headed right for the centre of their forces.

However, a muscular dwarven shield master blitzed into the path of the slash and slammed his large shield down on the ground, generating another larger shield construct with magic power just in time for the slash to reach.

**BOOOOOMMM!!!

The explosion resounded at the same time as the explosion in the sky coming from the battle between the A-rank adventurer Tisha and the Lich Beg'dikeec.

The dwarven A rank adventurer was pushed back slightly, but he stood his ground and glared right at the Dullahan, with another A rank adventurer jumping over his shield and beelining straight to the undead monster.
