Solo Clear – Chapter 38: Stage Five #7



So sorry for the lack of updates! Stuff happened . But here it is~

We observed the Great Priest’s actions .
He didn’t have shining gold hair like the other Elves, but had white spiky hair and beard .
Unlike Kalax, who became the leader of the Orcs at a young age, the Great Priest maintained his position for over 10 years, which would explain his elegance .
The natural beings around them greeted the Great Priest and moved as if they were dancing .

“Let’s go!”

They lost the lead due to the Orcs running out all of a sudden .
Kalax and the other soldiers ran out with all their might, but I didn’t run with them .

The Great priest had a smirk on his face as if he knew .
A cold wind blew around him, which froze everything that was around them .

The magic was similar to the Elf that I previously fought, but there was a difference between the activation time .
During that time, the temperature within the area dropped and that’s when the magic was activated .

“Damn it . It’s too fast . ”

Tapping the floor with just their staff was enough time to prepare everything .
Even though it was the enemy that was performing the magic at a fast rate, it was impressive .

Among the soldiers, the sorcerers that’s been chosen out of them have been defeated many times by the Great Priest’s magic .

They were stuck within an ice pillar and they managed to move their eyes, asking the others to save them .

Thankfully, the clan leaders were completely frozen and were enduring it .

“Gah, I can’t seem to move . ”

All of the clan leaders’ legs were frozen .
They moved violently to break free, but the Great Priest commanded his underlings to use their bow and arrows .



“Mother Nature has informed me . That you guys were near here . I’m not sure how you savage Orcs found out that I was going to be here today, but it all worked out . I’ll finish you off for good . ”

The Great Priest had a boring look on his face, but his comment gave me chills .

“It’s not over yet . ”

There was a reason why Kalax was the leader of the Orcs, because he was the only one that dodged their magic .
He attacked the Great Priest with his axe, but it didn’t touch him .
It seemed like the Great Priest calculated everything perfectly, because unlike the ordinary sorcerers, he dodged it with ease .

“You’re still young . The leader of the Orcs . You aren’t as skilled as the previous leader . ”

The Great Priest was holding a ball of fire in his hand and when he released it, it looked like a dragon was spitting it out of its mouth .
Kalax missed his chance to dodge, so he tried to endure the fire, but it looked like he was having a hard time enduring it .

Swoosh!!

I threw my sword from afar and as it landed beside the Great Priest, a small crack was formed on the transparent shield that surrounded them .

“Who was that? It was a pretty impressive wind magic . ”

The Great Priest used his magic again and sent Kalax flying when he noticed Kalax was still in front of him .
And then he quickly turned his attention towards me .
He must’ve been angry about cracking his shield, because he had a serious look on his face .

“It’s not wind magic . It just cut your shield . ”
“Cut it? Stop joking . ”

He looked like he didn’t believe what I said, so I threw another sword to show him .
The sound of the wind cutting could be heard, which could make one think that I used wind magic .

Crack!!

The same thing happened to the shield .


The Great Priest’s calm and serious expression changed .

“Is it that surprising that a sword can cut the shield?”
“It is . I heard about what happened at Ericsson . You must be the human that helped take back the base . Ha ha, it seems like you’re skilled with the sword, but you still lack a lot . ”

I didn’t say anything and instead, I focused on closing the distance between us .
The soldiers behind him were ready to shoot their arrows as soon as the Great Priest gave them the signal .


“Stand down . You could get caught in my magic . It’s been awhile since I had to use my power . ”

When he rolled up his sleeves, he had bulky muscles, despite of his old age .
The Great Priest waved his staff around and was consuming the mana from Mother Nature .
Because of that, trees that haven’t been fully grown and the grass suddenly changed colors .

“Elves love nature, so this is something that an Elf shouldn’t be doing . ”
“They understand how I feel, so they’re helping me . Ha ha . But, it’s surprising that there’s still a human that’s willing to help the Orcs . ”
“Is that so?”
“…Interesting . ”

The Great Priest had a disgusting look on his face .
It seemed like he was unsatisfied and was trying hard to remember something .

“Something like this happened before . It’s odd that during a battle, when one side has the advantage, the other side somehow is able to turn the table around . If that didn’t happen, this war would’ve been over a long time ago . One side would’ve won . ”
“…”
“I really don’t understand . Let’s end the conversation here . ”

The Great Priest mumbled to himself and despite of feeling unsatisfied, he entered the fight .
After raising both of his hands, a ball of fire formed above him .
He put together two fireballs into one, which created a large ball of fire .

“A swordsman will never be able to perform this kind of skill . ”



Like he had mentioned, there were a lot of things a swordsman couldn’t perform, but it was possible with magic .
There were many sorcerers that obtained their confidence from that .
However, that wasn’t a reason for a swordsman to lose .

“You’re not running away . I’m sure you know that you’ll die if you get hit . ”

Of course if I got hit with that, it’ll be difficult to stay alive, even for me .
If that ball of fire hits me, then everyone within this stage will be busy retreating .
However, I didn’t run away .

“No matter what you do with the sword, the result will be the same . I’ll encase you in an ice pillar just like the other Orcs . ”
“If you keep looking down on me like that, you’ll get hurt . Great Priest . ”

He must’ve thought it was all over because I saw a lot of openings .

The fire ball moved at a faster rate than I expected, but that was it .
I noticed a small dot inside the magic and cut it .
Then, the spell lost its form and naturally dispersed behind me .

The Great Priest’s expression changed .
Cutting through a spell was something he’s never heard of .

Spell Breaker .

It seemed like I was the only one within the stage that succeeded in learning this skill .
Using a skill that could cut through spells was the worst skill for a sorcerer .

“You cut through it using a sword? That’s not possible . ”

If he was a bit calmer, he could’ve used his fast casting ability and prepare the next spell .
However, despite of gathering all the mana from Mother Nature, I was able to cut through it easily, so it’s obvious that he would panic .
In order to stop me from approaching closer to him, he chose to extend his staff out towards me .

A special spell was used on the Great Priest’s staff, so it was stronger than steel, but it wasn’t enough to go against my sword .
The staff was cut and due to losing his concentration, the shield around him weakened .

“Wa…wait . ”

Humans, Elves, Orcs displayed the same expression right before their death .
He started shaking and his expression was asking me to spare him .

‘How unfortunate . ’

No matter how skilled someone was, if they become careless, they won’t be able to use their power to their full potential .
It was his fault for looking down on me because he thought I only knew how to use a sword .
If he used the information he received from his underlings regarding the battle at Ericsson, he might’ve been more careful .

He probably thought about different excuses regarding why he lost, but it was already too late .
He wasn’t going to be given a second chance and my sword was seconds away from slicing his head off .

Clank!!

There was something that was blocking my sword .
I thought it was the Great Priest’s magic, but that wasn’t it .
Someone with wings managed to block my sword with just one finger .

“Your main mission was to take back the bases and create a balance between them . Did we ever ask you to take the head of the Great Priest?”

Their overwhelming presence intimidated me .
I felt the same overwhelming feeling before and it was when I met the Manager during the third stage .

“You really are an unpredictable human . You even stole an item from Aris before, right? This is the first time I’ve seen your type . ”

I sheathed the sword that was near the Great Priest’s neck .
And spoke to the presence that was in front of me .

“You’ll need to give me a reasonable explanation regarding why you blocked my sword . You’re a different manager . If you don’t, then I’ll use this sword to cut you down instead of that old Elf over there . ”
