# Chapter 778: Jörmungandr!
Jörmungandr.
This was the secret weapon that the 'King of Fun', King Joseph of the Gallia Kingdom, had spent many years researching and developing with his subordinates.
It was a product combining Earth Element Alchemy Magic and the Elf Race's Ancient Magic, and it was a 'Steel Puppet' that had reached the 'Square' level.
It was the same type as the 'Bronze Golem. Valkyrie' that Guiche often used.
Simply put, it was commonly known as a 'Magic Puppet'.
The moment Mima Amatori arrived on Albion's Flagship with Valter, before he could even exchange a few words with King Wales, who was in charge of the command,
He witnessed from above five 'Jörmungandr' charging straight through the Hail of Bullets and Artillery Bombardment, striding into their Military Formation and swinging the Steel Greatswords in their hands, sweeping through the Great Army.
Mima Amatori noticed that any of their attacks, whether it was the bullets poured out, the cannonballs, or even various Magic like Flame, Whirlwind, and Ice Spike, would be blocked by a layer outside their bodies.
This layer only temporarily appeared as Colored Ripples when attacked, forming an Invisible Shield that blocked the attacks. Some attacks were even Reflected back.
What was this?
To his doubt, King Wales provided an answer.
"That should be the Elf Race's Ancient Magic, 'Reflect'. As the name suggests, it can Reflect any attack and Magic. It's a troublesome Magic that only powerful Elves can master!"
"Ancient Magic, Reflect..."
Mima Amatori pondered, then gained a general understanding of Ancient Magic under King Wales' simple introduction.
The so-called Ancient Magic and the Five-Element Magic used by Humans belonged to two different Magic Systems.
As mentioned before.
The principle of Magic used by the Nobility in various countries on the Continent was to consume their own Mental Power to mobilize the Magic Power in the air, and then cast Spells through incantations and Magic Wands.
This was the so-called method of changing the 'Principle', whether large or small, that existed in This World through personal Consciousness, thereby producing Supernatural Effects.
However, the Elf Race, who used Ancient Magic, did not need Magic Wands, nor did they need to consume Mental Power.
As for Spells, they had similar ones, but what they chanted sounded more like prayers, praying to the Spirits of Nature.
This meant that Ancient Magic utilized the power of Nature itself.
However, this did not mean they had no consumption at all. Ancient Magic consumed the Spirit Power of a Zone.
The denser the Spirit Power in that area, the greater the Power of the Ancient Magic would be.
Similarly, if the Spirit Power was very weak, the Ancient Magic would appear very weak.
For example, casting Fire Magic near a River would result in very weak Flames being summoned because there was very little Fire Spirit Power in Nature there.
And if too much Water Magic was used near a River, causing the Water Spirit Power to decrease, it would also result in less Water being summoned.
Overall, these two Magic Systems each had their Pros and Cons.
It was difficult to tell which was Stronger or weaker, as although Ancient Magic had Magic like 'Reflect', Void Magic was also one of the Five-Element Magic.
Oh, according to King Wales, it wasn't only the Elf Race that could use Ancient Magic.
It was just that they had researched Ancient Magic the most and could unleash the greatest Power, making them the representative Race.
Besides them, other Demi-human Races could also use it, such as the Winged People Race, and the Rhyme Dragon Race, which was Tabitha's Familiar.
"So, the Gallia Kingdom has at least one Elf Race Powerhouse with extremely high Ancient Magic proficiency..."
Mima Amatori smiled slightly, finding it interesting.
He had been curious about the Elf Race for a long time, and now it seemed he had a chance to see them.
But before that, he had to deal with those five unruly Steel Puppets, otherwise, Albion had no Method to counter them.
Hmm... perhaps Louise could do it.
However, to ensure her Safety, Mima Amatori had specifically ordered Princess Henrietta to strictly forbid her from leaving Tristain Academy of Magic.
He had to ensure that he handed Louise over to the World Government completely intact.
"Valter, wait here."
After casually giving the order, Mima Amatori mounted the Griffon that originally belonged to the other party and flew off the Flagship's Deck, rapidly descending towards the chaotic Battlefield below.
Seeing this scene, Wales, Valter, and the others felt their Hearts tighten.
Could they finally see this person go all out?
Although King Wales and the others were affected by the Magic Charm of Andvari's Ring, it didn't mean they had lost their Memory, nor had they lost the ability to Think.
Yet, they were unconditionally Loyal to Mima Amatori. It had to be said that Magic was indeed incredibly mysterious.
【Roar!!】
The nearly ten-meter-long Steel Greatsword slammed heavily onto the Earth in front of the 'Jörmungandr' as it swung down.
The violent Strength instantly compressed the surrounding Air, creating a Strong Wind that completely pulverized the Soldiers and Mage within a radius of over a dozen meters, along with the Ground.
The splashing of large amounts of Blood made the already pervasive bloody Scent in the Air even stronger.
Speaking of which.
Although these 'Jörmungandr' had the double Protection of Fine Steel bodies and Rebound Magic in terms of Defense, their Attack Methods were too simple.
They just relied on their huge Volume and Brute Strength to smash, smash, smash, somewhat like the Giant Tribe wearing Iron armor and having their own Protective Shield?
But even so.
Without Void Magic, the 'Jörmungandr' that King Joseph, this 'King of Fun', had concocted could indeed sweep through the Great Army of all Kingdoms in This World.
However.
This World happened to have Otherworlders like Mima Amatori...
Just as this 'Jörmungandr' withdrew the Giant Sword it had swung out and raised it, preparing to swing it again in another Direction, it suddenly sensed something and stopped its movement.
But the moment it raised its head, it saw a crescent-shaped pale blue Energy Blade tearing through the Air along its path and slashing towards it.
【Buzz————】
As expected, about three meters outside the 'Jörmungandr's' Body, a layer of colored horizontal Ripples appeared out of thin Air, blocking it.
"Interesting, it can even block Tempest Kick..."
Mima Amatori stood on the back of the Griffon, raising an eyebrow, letting his long pink hair flutter in the Wind.
"Then I'd like to see if your Rebound Magic has an Upper Limit~"
As soon as his words fell, he disappeared from his spot with a 'whoosh', and in the next second, he appeared in front of this 'Jörmungandr'.
At the same time.
The 'Jörmungandr' also confirmed that Mima Amatori was an enemy and immediately swung its Sword fiercely towards where Mima Amatori was, the Sword Edge sweeping through, causing a Strong Wind to rage instantly.
However, Mima Amatori's Gaze remained completely calm, without any Ripple.
As if he hadn't seen the Commotion above his head at all...
At this moment.
The Higher-ups of both the Gallia Kingdom and the Albion Kingdom focused their Gaze on Mima Amatori, their eyes mostly filled with shock.
They were shocked by the Speed he displayed, and also by his Ability to stand on Air.
So, what would happen next?
