    Year 2851 | Month 3 | Day 6


    When I get to the closest battlefield, I immediately set out to begin killing the enemy soldiers on it while trying again to master mana manipulation. And, of course, I make sure to stop every now and then to work on that new spell. But I don’t just focus on the spell since I know I won’t be able to use it right now anyways.


    So several days begin to pass slowly as I work mostly on my mana manipulation but also that spell a little. During which time the enemy forces gradually begin to pull back. Most likely due to my presence pushing them back.


    And the noble forces fighting them along with me cheer at this turn of events.


    But I ignore all of it to focus on my mana manipulation, which I haven’t gotten much progress on throughout this.


    We continue to push the enemy forces back more and more all the way until we push them back to the border of the current territories between us and the territory they’ve claimed thus far. Then I decide to change things up a little and jump straight past them, heading towards one of their fortresses where their important figures are for the war.


    I’m not making much progress on my mana manipulation right now, and these enemy commanders are all just sitting safely in their fortresses. So it would probably be a good idea…


    I stop as I’m in the middle of pulling out my sniper rifle. And after a brief hesitation, I go ahead and put it away. Then I continue moving towards the shores of the Kingdom of the Fallen, where I find Hardlight’s ships all moored.


    Before I deal with the commanders in the fortresses, I should deal with these ships.


    So without any further hesitation, I enter the water from a ways away from the ships. Then I begin to swim upwards when I get close to them while coating myself in death energy to avoid any sort of life sensors.


    Although I can’t really avoid devices that detect movement down here. But doing it this way should at least convince them that I’m just debris floating up to the surface or something.


    I continue to swim upwards before finally reaching the edge of the ship. Then I fly out of the water and onto the side of the ship. Where I quickly set about preparing numerous explosives all around the ship. And after that I move on to do the same thing to all the other ships.

    Of course, enemy soldiers occasionally catch me, and I’ve been caught on numerous security cameras by now. But these ships aren’t manned with enough powerful magicians for it to matter.


    To the point that I honestly just end up ripping the throats out of everyone on the later ships when it comes to some of the ships that found me almost immediately.


    Unfortunately for these battleships though, they’re made to defend against outside threats. Not to defend against intruders inside of the ship that got in before they could stop me. And even the ones that did find me before I got on board still couldn’t stop me for obvious reasons.


    So over the course of several hours, I manage to go through each and every ship setting up explosives. No doubt making the enemy leaders back in the fortresses and on their own homelands aware of my actions by now.


    But I don’t really care if they’re aware or not at this point. I just quickly begin to make my way back to the fortress where I set myself up high in the sky with my sniper rifle out. All the way above the clouds.


    Then I aim at the closest fortress to search for high ranking officials and higher Class magicians. All with a little screen pulled up in front of me showing me the faces of several of their higher Class magicians.


    And the moment I get one in my sights, I activate the explosives in one of the ships and pull the trigger on a death flames enhanced bullet. Blowing up one of the ships entirely the moment the bullet fires and penetrates through the skull of the magician.


    Then I move on to the next high Class magician or officer and do the same thing. Blowing up a ship right as I pull the trigger.


    One after another. All with only a small amount of the enemies even being aware that their leaders are being sniped one after another.


    Because they can’t hear the sound of the gunshot over the explosives. And I am trying to take out the leaders that are alone or almost alone first.


    Of course, this only lasts for so long. Both because there aren’t an infinite number of ships, and because there are some who see their leaders getting sniped and report it. So I eventually find myself being fired back at even as I move between different fortresses the moment I finish up with the enemy leaders at any particular fortress.


    But through this, I manage to kill off a large majority of the enemy forces by the time I blow up their last ship.


    Overall, I’m rather proud with this little job. Even if I probably wouldn’t have been able to pull it off if the enemy’s Class S magician was here.


    The enemy’s Class A magicians would’ve caused some annoyance, but that’s all they would’ve done. Unless they all came out at once.


    But I made sure that wouldn’t happen by doing it the way I did.


    Eventually I return to working on training my mana manipulation while just running around their armies on the ground. Armies that are in complete shambles now. And as I do that, I hear through my terminal’s connection with the nobles here that they are registering more enemy reinforcements being set out from Hardlight.


    Too bad I doubt they’ll make the same mistakes again.


    A pity.


    Anyways, back to training.
