Transported In Another World as a LOL Champion Summoner

Chapter 172: Aftermath

[Kingdom of Avalon]

With their opponent's escaping and their target gone, both Asmodeus and Adlefried breath out a sigh of dejection as they somehow failed thier primary objective and just like Adelfried's description, the swordman himself was quite a troublesome opponent

As Adelfried was beginning to head out and search for the target, Asmodeus on the other hand felt his mana suddenly becoming unstable due to him being integrated with the raw power of the Aquasphere for too long, if he doesn't retract his offensive now, he would end up exploding to pieces due to his body unable to withstand the power

After all the only reason why he could somehow endure the power till now was all because of his sycthe easing the burden of his body, but looking at his own weapon it wouldn't take long before it finally breaks into pieces and overload

With such conditions before him, he then finally made a firm decision to withdraw and all he had to do now was to convince his very own partner

"Quick! We need to find those royalties, as long as we could get rid of them, we would finally be able to reclaim what our organizations lost" yelled put Adelfried

"Wait" called out Asmodeus

"What? Whats wrong? Don't tell me your chickening out?" Asks Adelfried impatiently

"As much as your offer too attractive to pass, I'm afraid we would have to withdraw" said Asmodeus

"Withdraw? Why? Why now? Why now that were almost at our goal?" Asks Adelfried

"I... I can't continue any longer, I've underestimated the usability and strength of the Aquasphere, its power is just too much for my body to handle... if we continue I'm afraid my body wouldn't hold on and explode as the power of the Aquasphere overload my body" answered Asmodeus

"Are you frickin kidding me? What about your weapon? You can mitigate any damage done to your body towards your weapon right?" Insisted Adelfried

"It's no use my weapon is at its limit, one more push and it would crumble to pieces... I know that this is a crucial moment but we really need to retreat or else everything we've accomished so far will be for naught"

Hearing Asmodeus concerns, Adelfried grits his teeth in frustration as he made his decision

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!!!! Call back everyone! Order them to regroup and retreat!!!"

"Understood!"

With that Asmodeus disappears to relay the order of Adelfried towards everyone as the latter was left behind all alone in that particular place

With a gritted teeth and an unwilling attitude, he then left the area as he retreated out of the kingdom's capital walls

*********

With the retreat of the attacking force, the pressure around everyone that is protecting the kingdom was lifted as everyone who was at the brink of death was spared from death

All in all aside from the numerous casualties on the enemy's side at approximately about 405 dead members, the forces that were protecting the kingdom also sustained a considerable amount of casualties of about 200 dead soldiers, 10 dead elite members, 30 dead normal citizens, and about 125,000 injured people (combatant and non-combatant included)

With such drastic numbers, everyone then gathered at the portside of the kingdom, seemingly the only place that hadn't been touched by the enemy forces and stationed everyone who is needed for medical attention

Of course aside from every injured people being brought into this specific place, this part of the kingdom's capital also served as the evacuation part of kingdom, but due to the population of the capital, numerous ships were filled with refugees from the attacks as they all served as refugee camps and emergency take off vehicle if the enemy ever attacked the place

This was done in order to save as many innocent bystanders as they can, after all a battlefield is a unpredictable ground wherein numerous events and situations may occur at the same time

With the complete retreat of the enemy forces, everyone finally breathe out a sigh of relief as everyone gathered over to that site, naturally Captain Kalego himself brought Akito over to that place after successfully escaping their opponents

After dropping him off towards a medical tent, he then naturally saw the royal family of the neighboring kingdom, Holsteia Kingdom inside the tent as they tend towards the injured crown prince

Not only them but even the Duke of the neighboring kingdom itself Duke Alan and his wife Cecile were inside as they tend towards both Shun and Sephiria who were still unconsciousness from the battle against Asmodeus, naturally they were brought here by Merlin after they somehow escaped Asmodeus clutches, luckily for them Merlin himself is a master of escaping pursuit

At that moment when Captain Kalego brought over Akito to the medical tent, everyone who knew him were actually shocked to see his condition as Iris suddenly went over as she worriedly and hurriedly tend to Akito's injuries while conducting some questions on how he got the wounds on his body

In that sense compared to Crown prince Cedric of the neighboring Kingdom, the three people such as Shun, Sephiria, and Akito were in much dire state as they all seemingly got cut by a sharp object

With that scenery, Captain Kalego once again firmed himself that they had indeed lost and somehow failed to protect their natural treasure

In that very moment Captain Kalego then turned towards Merlin as he asked him how they escaped the enemy's pursuit

"Where were you?" Asked Captain Kalego

"Ahahaha!!! Well I was caught in a unprecedented situation, in fact I was near the location of the national treasure" answered Merlin

"You were at that place? Why didn't you do anything to stop the enemy forces from acquiring the national treasure?" Asks by Captain Kalego

"Well actually we did try, in fact i even tried to apply an illusory magic around the place, unfortunately the enemy was just too strong and somehow took out a strange weapon which could counter hard an attack in a single swing" said Merlin

Hearing his words Captain Kalego simply nodded as he somehow recognized that description towards the person who joined the fight in the castle walls later on

"At that point we don't even know what the weapon could even do, thus when the time he counterattacked, we were totally caught off guard, thus the state of those two guys" said Merlin as he pointed out towards both Shun and Sephiria

Seeing the location where merlin was pointing, Captain Kalego then further conjectured

"They fought against the opponent?"

"Yep! They did as much as they could to stop the enemy from taking the treasure, unfortunately the enemy was just too strong and cunning"

"Then why didn't you joined in?"

"Naturally I'm a mage not a fighter, I tried my best to aid them you know... unluckily the fight was out of my control, one wrong move from me and I could have been done in just like them, by then our escape would drop to 0... by that time we would most likely be killed"

"...."

"But I've gotta admit I did somehow do less in that situation... my bad"

After hearing Merlin's words Captain Kalego simply sighed in dejection as he suddenly got called out by both the kings of the two kingdom, King Hendrick and King Hassan
