Chapter 888 – 100 Days – A Person Who Hates the Princess So Much
Flash!
The lightning bolt that Arisa threw accurately pierced the body of the Zodiac Knight Commander.
The jewels and magic stones that were constantly spinning stopped, and the armor that was emitting light also became quiet.
“Venus! How are you? Are you okay? If you’re seriously injured, get back and have Grace treat you!”
“It’s just a little soreness in your shoulder, so don’t worry!”
Lightly brushing off the dirt from her feet, the princess says her words and looks at the leader of the Zodiac Knights.
It was hard to think that he would be alive after being hit by a spell that emitted a blinding flash of light.
“As expected!”
After making her cry, the princess struck down the rain of arrows raining down from the sky with a wide swing of the great sword in her hand, creating her own wind.
─Gigigigeek!
It was the leader of the Zodiac Knights who made the eerie sound that made her feel goosebumps all over her body.
Arisa, who had not become a hedgehog due to the princess’s activities, frowned as soon as she saw that.
“What, what happened to this? It shouldn’t be armor that moves like this, right?”
“What on earth is going on? What did you do that made the commander’s movements slow down?”
“Did you really not know? You can tell by looking at that armor! It uses the magic stored in the gems and magic stones to create power that no living thing can produce!”
“Isn’t there a case where a gem is embedded in such a way that it emits light?!”
The frightened princess had no time to be more surprised.
With a clanking sound, the body of the Zodiac Knight Commander began to move again.
Rather, the jewels and magic stones embedded in the armor spun faster than before and spewed out pure white steam, as if they had absorbed the magic power from the lightning bolt thrown by Arisa.
“There’s something strange about this…! It’s not working at the level I think it is!”
Arisa, with her eyebrows furrowed, broke the magic circle drawn on her palm and tried to draw it again, but it didn’t work out as she wanted.
‘How did this come to be? It’s clearly armor made in a magic tower, but the operating principle is completely different, right? What’s wrong with this?!’
Arisa, who proudly introduced herself as a genius, was so embarrassed that sweat broke out on her forehead.
“Arisa! Step back!”
Arrows are pouring down once again.
The princess quickly grabbed Arisa’s waist and fell behind her, and her golem’s hand, which rose from the ground, stopped the movement of the Zodiac Knight leader for a moment.
“It’s laughable!”
The leader of the Zodiac Knights, who had cut off her golem’s hand like a loaf of bread, began to approach the princess, blowing out pure white steam once again.
“It seems like I have no intention of staying still.”
Arisa clicked her tongue and stepped behind her to see that the ‘Knights of the Zodiac’ over the horizon had begun to move.
The arrows aimed at Arisa were also fired by them.
‘Can you shoot a bow from that distance? You fired accurately while forming a barrage?’
Arisa, with an unpleasant thought creeping in, checked the arrow that had fallen on the ground while the Zodiac Knight leader was attacking her princess once again.
‘It’s an arrow with runes engraved on it. There’s nothing to look at in detail. This one has the magic of silence engraved on it. But… The arrowhead is a magic stone, right?’
Of course it was possible to make arrows with magic stones, but it was not profitable.
“Emperor Jupiter, you were planning to kill Venus and us.”
Arisa clicks his tongue and takes a step back. It was never a good thing for the pitch black band that filled the horizon to slowly approach.
“Venus! The knights have started to move!”
“Ugh!! I’m sorry! I… Ugh! I don’t have time to think!”
Every time the knight leader, who was spewing out pure white steam, swung his sword, the ground on which the princess stood caved.
The princess was able to withstand her incredible strength with her unique sense and agility, but the situation was not much different from her tightrope walk.
“I’m embarrassed to say this wouldn’t happen! Really!”
Arisa clicked her tongue and gave up interfering with the armor worn by the Zodiac Knight Commander.
She drew her magic circle again with both hands and grabbed the ground with her hands.
“A maze in another dimension!”
The moment the princess steps behind her, the body of the Zodiac Knight leader begins to tremble.
A huge hole that could not be easily perceived by humans appeared, and the body of the knight commander immediately began to twist and be sucked into it.
“What on earth is this…”
“It’s a maze that a normal person can never escape from!”
Arisa wiped the sweat from her forehead with great difficulty.
“But it can’t be like that. Jupiter isn’t a fool either!”
Elaine appeared with a sharp voice and in her hand was a sword wrapped in burning flames.
As if it was only natural, she ran all the way here, grabbed the maze that Arisa had created with both hands, and swung her sword at the head of the Zodiac Knight leader, who came out with an erection.
─Kyaang!!!
“Ugh…! How on earth did you get that armor?! It’s not completely resistant to magic, it’s immune to it!”
Arisa, horrified, took a big step behind her. For a wizard, there was nothing more foolish than fighting an enemy she couldn’t fight against with magic.
「… Princess Nous, I will get better!」
The princess, who was barely able to escape the attack from the leader of the Zodiac knights, sighed at the voice coming from her earring.
“Jade Aubert! The Knights of the Zodiac have begun to move. Is the army ready?”
“Of course not. Queen Hestia has already gone out and is directly commanding her army.”
“If the knights approach you, there is nothing you can do, but never fight first!”
“We know that they have powers beyond humans, so don’t worry too much. “I will buy you as much time as possible.”
The princess bit her lip tightly at Jad Aubert’s words.
‘Shit! If this happens, won’t the Knights of the Zodiac end up slaughtering countless soldiers?’
Even if we ultimately win the war, countless lives will be lost here today.
‘The Knights of the Zodiac are also guilty of something…!’
I’m not standing here because I want a sacrifice or for something evil.
The princess felt bitter toward them who were here because she was supposed to protect the empire where the sun never sets.
But, she couldn’t run away.
This is the path Venus Holympia chose. It was inevitable that my hands would get bloodied one day, and I decided to save as many people as possible even if it meant being stained with blood.
“How on earth did this power get lost?!”
Elaine, who was suddenly wielding two swords, was struggling with the leader of the Zodiac Knights, but he was sweating profusely.
“You are no match for me.”
“This is so funny and embarrassing!”
The Zodiac Knight Commander took Elaine’s sharp swing of the sword with great ease.
“You woman who was seduced by Venus Holympia’s nonsense. Die. Die. Don’t even think about interfering with my revenge, but die as a source of revenge!”
Once again, pure white steam erupts from the body of the Zodiac Knight Commander.
As soon as Elaine saw that, she laughed and threw flames from the sword in his hands, throwing his sword aside in a show of strength.
“You didn’t give up the emperor’s position just to joke around with Jupiter, did you?”
Elaine nimbly dives into the body of the leader of the Zodiac Knights and swings her sword at the jewels and magic stones embedded in his armor.
─Two bang!!!!
They exploded, emitting rainbow-colored flashes, and Elaine was caught up in the force and fell back significantly.
“You did something ridiculous.”
Since the jewel has been shattered, the strength of the armor must have been weakened.
Elaine thought so, but Arisa was not surprised for no reason.
“What kind of nonsense did you do…”
Elaine was surprised to see the flames on the sword in his hand gradually fading.
At the same time, I frowned as I saw the jewels and magic stones embedded in the armor that had clearly been shattered completely filling the grooves where they had been.
“No way… That Jupiter guy… What are you trying to do to this guy who could be your daughter…”
Elaine was openly agitated.
Thanks to this, a large gap was created, and the Zodiac Knight Commander did not miss it and swung his sword aiming quickly and accurately.
─Kaang!
“Elaine!! Don’t be fooled and step back!”
The princess urgently dug in between them.
‘It’s clear that Elaine created a gap…!’
Although it was only a little, the power of the Zodiac Knight Commander had become unstable.
Maybe he aimed for Elaine’s stomach and stabbed too deeply.
The princess swung a large sword and made the sword held by the leader of the Zodiac Knight fall to the ground, and she stepped on the sword with both legs.
“First of all…!!!”
The princess, who is jumping high into the sky, looks at the leader of the Zodiac knights and looks behind him at the same time.
The black band that filled the horizon is now close enough to be clearly visible with both eyes.
If you defeat the Zodiac Knight Commander, the Knights will disintegrate.
If there is no one to give orders, they will not engage in crazy slaughter.
“I’ll smash that stuffy-looking helmet first! Shouldn’t I be able to clearly see the face of the being trying to kill me!”
Shouting, the princess struck down the sword she held in both hands, radiating her magical power.
“Ha, haha…!”
With a bizarre laugh, the Zodiac Knight Commander lifts the sword from the ground and catches the princess’s sword.
─Fighting!!!!
The moment the sword and sword collide, dazzling magical power erupts and sparks are created.
The two fought so ignorantly that a huge storm was created, and unfortunately, the princess’s sword could not reach the Zodiac Knight Commander’s helmet.
“Ugh…!”
In the end, the princess, who had once again done some somersaults in the air, landed next to Elaine, who had retreated behind her.
“Even if I couldn’t hit your head, I could still see her face.”
The princess, barely able to calm down the aftereffects of the power felt from her sword, let out a deep breath.
“Ha, ha… This face… I wonder if you missed this face so much, princess…”
The helmet that covered the face of the Zodiac Knight Commander, who was slightly lowering his upper body, was in pieces.
Even though the blades did not touch, the two swords met at a distance of less than a span, unleashing magical energy and engaging in a battle of strength.
The helmet, caught in the aftereffects of the storm, shattered with an unpleasant sound and fell to the ground.
“Oh…?”
Tuk, Tuk, Tuk…
The shattered pieces of metal were soaked with bright red blood.
Since the helmet was damaged, it was not unusual for blood to flow from the face inside it.
“You… How did this happen…”
The moment she finally saw the face of the leader of the Zodiac Knights, her hands trembled.
She had no choice but to do so.
“Did she say she could handle it…”
“This is…”
“Now, look at my face and say it again. Venus Holympia.”
The Commander of the Zodiac Knights does not even straighten his white hair stained with bright red blood, and speaks while looking at the princess with murderous crimson eyes.
“Do you still not understand why I want to kill you?”
