On the Tsushima Fortress, the soldiers of the Great Asian Alliance retreated in an orderly fashion under the cover of naval gunfire. Only after the shelling ceased did the Japan defenders emerge from their bunkers. Finding the Great Asian Alliance's attacking forces had withdrawn, they breathed a sigh of relief, but looking at the devastated battlefield and the military installations shattered by the artillery fire, they simply lacked the strength to continue.
Just then, a magician caught a glimpse of the figure that had suddenly appeared in the sky and immediately turned to look at it.
"Who... who is that person!?"
Upon hearing the magician's exclamation, those around immediately looked over. The soldiers with guns pointed their weapons at the sky, watching the person floating in the air through their scopes.
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out, followed by a sniper's terrified scream. Just moments before, his gaze had met that of someone in the sky through the scope of his weapon. In a panic, he pulled the trigger of his sniper rifle, but the scope he was holding in front of his eyes inexplicably shattered, and shards of the scope pierced his eyeballs.
Looking at the panicked people below, Yunyi's expression remained unchanged, but the emotions churning within him were considerable.
Although this is just another world, a parallel world derived from a novel, there is no red dragon standing in the east, nor are there any descendants of the dragon suffering from war.
But on the battlefield, when Yunyi saw soldiers in Japan, he could still recall those memories from his past life. Those memories made this body, which had no bloodline inheritance, tremble and resonate.
The Fool's domain unfolded silently, completely enveloping the battlefield below.
The moment they were enveloped by the " Fool's World," the mages on the battlefield below were thrown into chaos. Their unusual behavior further alarmed the ordinary soldiers. It should be noted that the Tsushima Fortress had been able to hold out against the suppression of the fleet's artillery until now was due to the fortifications of the island's military facilities and the role played by these mages.
But now, with Yunyi Psions the domain, these mages, having lost their source of power, are less effective on the battlefield than even an ordinary soldier.
Just then, a sudden downpour of snowflakes began. This scene stunned most of the people below. It was October, and given the latitude of Tsushima Island, it shouldn't be snowing.
This unexpected snowfall wasn't a normal natural phenomenon; it was Yunyi's Strategic-Class Magic "Snow," enhanced by his Domain Magic! As the magic was activated, the snow's intensity gradually increased, quickly reaching the level of a massive blizzard. On the battlefield below, the falling snowflakes were enough to obscure visibility, causing those trying to escape to collide with their own allies after only a few steps, plunging the scene into even greater chaos than before.
As the blizzard continued for longer, the temperature on Tsushima Island dropped rapidly. Soon, the temperature had fallen below minus twenty degrees Celsius. The Japan soldiers, who had just fought a battle, were already exhausted, and the previous chaos had further damaged their morale. Now, this massive blizzard was pouring down on them, ultimately burying their lives in the white snow.
From the retreat of the Great Asian Alliance forces to Yunyi's arrival above Tsushima Island to unleash Strategic-Class Magic and annihilate the Japan garrison in the fortress below, it took less than fifteen minutes in total. Compared to his previous annihilation of an entire fleet, this time it might have taken longer. But this was simply to test the effectiveness of Strategic-Class Magic on the battlefield.
Upon receiving feedback from the Domain Magic that the defending forces below had been completely wiped out, Yunyi stopped casting the spell. Just as he was preparing to return to the flagship, a sense of crisis swept over him. He turned his head to look in a certain direction, and through the still somewhat dim sky, he saw a helicopter hovering a few kilometers away.
The helicopter door was wide open, and a person was aiming a sniper rifle at him. When Yunyi saw who the person was, he raised an eyebrow.
"They arrived pretty quickly," Yunyi muttered to himself.
Besides the pilot, there were three other people on the helicopter. Two of them were Katsuto Jumonji and Masaki Ichijo, who had been ordered to lead a team to support the Tsushima Fortress. The one holding the gun was Masaki Ichijo. However, what he was holding was not a sniper rifle, but a specially made CAD long gun.
Using the long-range aiming assist system, Masaki Ichijo had already targeted Yunyi. And without hesitation, he pulled the trigger, activating the Ichijo Family's " Rupture ".
Unfortunately, Yunyi, who had just finished the battle, did not dispel the Domain Magic. The Psions around him remained under his control. No matter how many times Masaki Ichijo pulled the trigger, he could not harm Yunyi, who was inside the domain.
"It's been a long time since I've seen the Crimson Prince, so I should at least give you a gift, don't you think, Masaki Ichijo?" Yunyi chuckled.
"I demand thunder and Electric Light." The lightning bolts emanating from his fingertips shot out in an instant, hurtling towards the helicopter hovering in the air. Just as the lightning was about to strike Masaki Ichijo lying in the cabin, several magical barriers suddenly materialized in the air, blocking the surging Electric Light several meters away.
The Katsuto Jumonji. Facing Yunyi, he dared not be careless and directly used " Phalanx "! The lightning pierced through the first few layers of the array barrier, but it was completely blocked by the barrier that was continuously added afterward. However, the lightning that scattered when it hit the barrier startled the people in the helicopter.
Yunyi was surprised that the magic was blocked. The " Electric Light " spell wasn't particularly powerful to begin with, especially at such a distance. It was expected that it would be blocked by the " Phalanx " that Katsuto Jumonji. Moreover, this attack was merely a return attack on Masaki Ichijo's " Rupture." If he really wanted to shoot down the plane at this moment, he would have chosen to use the much more powerful and penetrating " Japan Annihilation."
"Let's retreat. Let's go back and rendezvous with the support troops first. With Tsushima Fortress fallen, we need to prepare to defend the coastal areas." After blocking Yunyi's offensive, Katsuto Jumonji immediately ordered the pilots to return to base. Given his and Masaki Ichijo's current situation, facing Yunyi would be too disadvantageous for them.
