Now that true God-level power and Bair's regular army had appeared, Rorschach's battle would no longer have anything to do with this battle.
He was only a level 5 mage who had just recently used up all of his mana. He would be far too useless on such a battlefield.
Unless he was insane enough to use another forbidden spell.
"… Even if I use it, it'll probably be meaningless."
Rorschach searched through his own spell list and discovered that even if he could use forbidden spells, they wouldn't be much of a threat to Bair. Instead, it would be possible for him to sink all of Bair's nearby armies into the sea.
His forbidden spells were all simulated natural disasters, which would have a large area of effect while dealing little damage to a single target … Rorschach couldn't think of any natural disasters that would be able to threaten this monster that could control nature.
Most of all, forbidden spells were meant to instantly kill noobs to begin with. A large area of effect and a large area of effect would be a common problem for weak individuals.
In that case, how would a high-level mage deal with a powerful individual?
There were two methods. The first was to go far enough down the path of magic. Black hole attacks, internal explosions, four limbs gravity reversal, soul guidance, life projection attacks, and so on were all methods that even the Gods would have to be careful against. Mortals would have no chance of surviving such attacks.
The second method was to utilize a mage's intelligence and knowledge advantage to analyze the enemy's information and find their weaknesses. Then, the mage would use targeted magic attacks and physical attacks to achieve twice the results with half the effort.
What was the point of programming on the spot? Mages who could create spell models on the spot and research new spells were the ones who truly deserved respect and admiration.
However, Rorschach didn't know how to deal with either of these methods … He was only a novice mage in the world of mages.
He had to admit that mages were probably the Aishi's strongest job class that was closest to the real world. Just like the Gods, mages used natural laws and knowledge to fight. Since mages didn't have any convenient divine power or Divine Concepts to cheat with, they had already surpassed the might of the Gods after countless years and generations of experience.
However, the uniqueness of this job class became even more apparent after the development of mana pools and magic armor technology. A mage's maturity and strength no longer depended solely on their mana. Instead, it depended on their studies, research results, and how much of their research results could be transformed into actual combat strength.
Rorschach had only been in this world for six years. It had been even shorter since he had completely chosen to bind himself to his spellcasting profession. Furthermore, he had become an unorthodox mage midway through his journey. His accumulation and comprehension were still insufficient. Not to mention the results of his research, he had not even determined the direction of his research.
His way of using magic was more like that of a dragon or a warlock. Casting spells depended on luck, luck, and luck. Especially recently, he had inexplicably advanced continuously, which showed that his luck was really good.
However, this was obviously not a long-term solution. Casting spells with one's face might progress smoothly in the early stages, but later on, if there was a gap in knowledge or a bottleneck that was impossible to cross, it would force you to go back and make up for all the missed lessons.
And the reason why Rorschach had always lacked a sense of direction when it came to power … was because he believed that his past was chaotic, and that he would be unable to create a path of his own.
Now that his Soul Imprint had been confirmed, and his path had been coincidentally confirmed, Rorschach realized even more how shallow he was.
Just a moment ago, when he had faced off against the Titan God by himself, he hadn't had a suitable method to deal with him. He had barely managed to create a Wood God, but he hadn't been able to use more than 50% of his power. He lacked a suitable method to deal with even slightly stronger opponents.
"… Perhaps it's time for me to find a place to make up for all the missed lessons."
Industrial design, mechanical engineering, architecture, natural disaster theory, geography, botany, and so on. Just by slightly expanding, Rorschach discovered that there were so many lessons that he needed to make up for in his future path.
Could he not learn them? Of course he could. However, he would never be able to learn what he didn't know. Even if he tried to figure things out by himself, it would be far less efficient than learning from a systematic course.
Actually, Rorschach already had a feeling that the creation of his steel army would also need to follow the principles of machinery and material science. Using divine power to do all sorts of "thinking on your own" methods wouldn't be a long-term solution.
His inability to create a magic engine was the most obvious proof of this. There were far too many technical problems that even divine power wouldn't be of any use. He could only rely on external forces like a marionette, which would consume several times or even several hundred times more energy.
But now that he had truly entered actual combat, he had fewer and fewer methods to use, which made him even more aware of his own inadequacies.
"… If it's Ansorenne's physical body … No, there shouldn't be any difference. Without the support of divine power, the cost of creating his steel army would be even higher, and the upper limit would be even lower … Is it too early for me to go to the Northlands right now?"
At this moment, Rorschach was truly considering finding a place to make up for all the missed lessons he needed.
"You're awake? Not bad, you're the one with the best physical qualities in this batch … Don't hit me! You can't even joke about it! I just saved you! "
Judging from how the dark elf on his shoulder had just woken up and had the strength to punch him with her tiny fists, Su Nanna was probably fine.
"Where did you come from? How's the battle situation? "
The first thing Su Nanna asked after waking up was the battle situation.
Rorschach tilted his head and wantonly told her to see for herself.
The battlefield was now in complete chaos. The monster that appeared to be the reincarnation of the Queen of Storms was currently in a frenzy as the Bair Squadron attacked her.
Although the Bair Squadron had suffered significant losses, the gigantic divine magical creature wasn't having a good time either. Her physical injuries could be swiftly healed, but her movements were becoming increasingly sluggish. This meant that she was tired and had used up too much divine power.
After all, she wasn't a True God with a Divine Kingdom (as opposed to an unlimited amount of divine power). Divine power was a type of energy storage that accompanied her body. Not only would it be used up, it would be used up quickly.
"She's trying to escape again! Hurry up! "
Rorschach could only helplessly shake his head when he heard this from behind him.
"It doesn't have much meaning. When one's life is in danger, the accumulated hatred is meaningless."
"… I know. But how can I be satisfied without trying? Stop wasting time. We're on the same boat right now. Helping me is the same as helping you."
Rorschach sighed helplessly as he reached out with his left hand, causing his broken sword to appear once again.
The next instant, the gigantic divine magical creature that had been somewhat dispirited and even faintly retreating suddenly became spirited. Her eight tentacles unleashed a flurry of slashes that forced the attackers around her to hurriedly retreat.
Her four eyes also began searching all around her, but she was destined to be unable to find her target.
Rorschach put away his broken sword once again. However, this delay meant that she no longer had a path of retreat.
This wasn't the first time this had happened.
Previously, when the divine magical creature discovered that its prey was difficult to deal with, she had retreated once. Originally, no one would have been able to stop her. However, Rorschach suddenly had an idea and took out his Roland sword, which indeed had a miraculous effect.
This was already the third time this had happened. However, Rorschach still didn't think that it would be so easy to succeed in hunting down a divine magical creature.
Although this was Bardi's regular army, they were only here to carry out a search mission. They only carried some conventional weapons, and they weren't the famous ace armies. They lacked top-level combat strength and high threat ability to deal damage to God Equipment. They would have no problem against ordinary opponents, but they obviously weren't strong enough to deal with the giant God in front of them.
"If she's really determined to run away, we won't be able to stop her. You can't expect her to risk her life for some unreasonable grudge."
It wasn't that Roland didn't know what to do. However, the princess was truly unwilling to give up. She had taken a wrong step, and the difference between heaven and hell was right in front of her. How could she possibly be willing to give up?
"There might be a chance. Perhaps a powerful individual who needs a Divine Concept will hear the news and come here to hunt …"
However, Seviala still wasn't a qualified hero. She didn't have the viciousness to trade the lives of her own subjects for an opportunity. After confirming that it was highly unlikely that the army's weapons would be able to stop this gigantic divine magical creature, Seviala also made up her mind and prepared to give the order to retreat … but actually, this order was no longer needed.
The gigantic divine magical creature suddenly paused for a moment, and then turned around and ran away as if it had gone mad. It left behind huge waves and whirlpools as it directly dove into the deep sea as if some demon was chasing after it.
Soon, the sky to the northeast gave everyone an answer.
Two special wooden airships had arrived. Although the airships were as exquisite as works of art, the two airships didn't conceal their powerful elemental fluctuations at all. This made everyone feel that the airships had power above that of a True God.
