Chapter 66 – Royal Capital Gaul (13)
“Cheet.”
Einstein was having a hard time.
It’s not an easy opponent.
Because the damage inflicted is returned to the opponent as it is.
Although he healed his wounds with the holy sword, it was only a temporary measure.
There is no fundamental solution.
‘Is it a curse? It seems like the only way to activate it is to inflict injury.’
Then the question arises.
What happens when you attack to death?
Will it still rebound and come back?
Or will it stop?
If it’s the former, it could be a good coffin mate.
You don’t know anything about this boy.
It is an opponent that is difficult to touch.
Like a blowfish that looks harmless on the outside but is poisonous.
In the past, he might have gambled with his life as collateral.
Risking life and death, he must have found a way out somehow.
He had lived that way, and he took it for granted.
He devoted everything to killing monsters.
However, Einstein today is different.
There are things to protect, and there are beings to love.
That alone will make your body more cautious.
Because I know she will grieve for her death.
‘Have I become weak?’
As if sympathizing with that thought, sarcasm flew in.
-You’re so calm that it’s colorless to see you ran amok like a foal, hero.
The boy who pointed out Einstein’s hesitation.
The boy hit the ball.
A shadow wriggled around him and turned into a long blade.
When Einstein struck back with the holy sword, as if expecting him, a number of shadow blades rushed in.
A deterrence shot from a distance.
From the point of view of Einstein, who had to approach, this kind of containment was extremely difficult.
I’m impatient.
It’s NG even if you approach and attack, but it’s NG even if you’re far away.
It is the pinnacle of absurdity.
… He planted such thoughts in the boy.
Carelessness is always the herald of effective strikes.
A fact I overlooked because Einstein is holding a sword, but he can use magic to some extent.
It is a level that can be applied in practice to create variables.
When Azazel taught Astein her magic, she always spoke of practicality.
‘Where’s a wizard as stupid as rummaging while memorizing spells?’
It was a sympathetic word.
So Einstein asked.
‘Then what should I do?’
She said confidently.
‘Either cast in advance, or I’ll try my best to memorize it quickly.’
Einstein worked hard until Azazel liked it.
There were not a few magics he could use, but he was outstanding enough to overwhelm other wizards, at least in terms of speed of manifestation.
Kaaang!
A heavy shock rang through the body.
Muscle pulls
My body is tingling.
But not hard enough to die.
If you can endure it, it’s worth trying.
Caang!
He struck the shadow blade again.
My forearms trembled.
Caang!
He hit again
Einstein held his holy sword firmly.
Don’t miss the sword.
The time will come.
The moment you see a gap.
At that time, he intended to hit the hot thing with all his might.
Perhaps he was dissatisfied with Einstein’s behavior, which was unexpectedly calmly blocking it.
Even though the boy was a bit overbearing, he continued to attack.
A shadow blade flying from the side and a shadow blade coming from the front.
The angle is good.
Twisting the holy sword, it cut off the shadow blades flying from the side and offset the ones in front.
Wow!
He bought time thanks to his stunts close to the arts.
At this moment, the boy will try to create a shadow blade again and launch it.
Actually it was.
Therefore, there was an inevitable delay.
Einstein did not miss this.
It’s too late to run and swing the sword.
However, if it is an attack from a distance, the story is different.
The premise is that the hero cannot perform ranged attacks.
Breaks that premise.
“‘Explosion’.”
Aaaaang!
An explosion erupted from beneath the feet of the elated boy.
It’s not as big as Azazel, but it’s big.
A power that would make it difficult to take care of one’s body if hit head-on.
In addition, it was a counterattack executed while being checked.
It’s no exaggeration to say that I was caught off guard.
It must have done quite a bit of damage.
Through the black smoke, the boy came out.
His whole body must have been burned by the recent explosion, and his tailcoat was in tatters.
– I was surprised, could you use magic?
Tsk.
Einstein clicked his tongue and aimed the holy sword at the boy.
I thought he was a difficult opponent, but unlike his fragile appearance, he was overly tough.
“You don’t look so surprised, do you?”
As Einstein sneered, the boy brushed the dust off his body.
– The more wisely he has lived, the less he is shaken by stimulation.
“Isn’t it because you’re old that your spinal cord reflexes are slow?”
Einstein looked at the boy whose skin was burning, then checked his own body.
‘I thought the images would also be moved.’
I didn’t get hurt like before.
Are you saying that magic attacks are okay?
If so, he is not the one to deal with.
Azazel is the right one.
Unlike before, Einstein tried to widen the distance with a cautious attitude.
The boy who saw this was scornful.
– Did you notice this curse?
Is it also a kind of curse?
Einstein replied as he deftly knocked out the shadows approaching from the darkness.
“You only use cowardly skills like an old man.”
– Let them bark freely.
As if it had been a joke up until now, the boy’s shadow swayed and took over the space.
Intimidation.
Obviously, it was different from the people I had dealt with so far.
If you have to compare it, it’s similar to the former warrior’s replica?
At this point, even Einstein couldn’t help but wonder.
The hero raises his holy sword and asks.
“What are you doing?”
– You still haven’t introduced yourself. But I don’t have the taste of bragging about a guy who’s about to die.
“I see.”
I swallowed dry saliva.
A direct blow from the sword is not allowed.
I don’t know the specific reason, but only magic attacks can inflict damage without rebound.
Then.
How about a blow with magical power wrapped around the sword?
Haven’t tried it yet.
Power is power, so if this hit rebounds, it’ll take pretty serious damage.
‘Can I afford to hesitate?’
None.
It’s not my way to measure this and that.
Kill or die
I thought so when I caught a certain monster.
Now is no exception.
“If there is a possibility, just do it.”
Just in time, shadows stretched from all directions.
It’s a gloomy technique like a demon.
Einstein organized his thoughts.
One way or another, one way or another.
If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be better to eat at least one shot?
Loads mana into the holy sword.
Unlike the previous sword, the mana conductivity was high, so the attack was absorbed without any loss.
A sword that glows white and vibrates.
The moment you want to swing your sword.
A baptism of ice spears fell from the open ceiling.
Quagga gag gag gag!
A large number of ice spears that pierced the approaching shadows.
The shadow seemed to be closer to organic matter than inorganic matter, and the coldness of the ice spear slowed it down.
“Are you struggling?”
A nasty voice was heard.
“It’s a conceptual curse that shares all sword attacks. I will do it for you.”
I heard a voice that was more lovely than anyone else.
With their appearance, Einstein was able to see himself relaxed.
He who relied on them did not hate himself.
The sound of Bolmen came out.
“What are you doing now?”
“I don’t think the squeak I know is the one who can barely make that much of an anguish, right?”
“Who said he was sick? I was just worried about you.”
“… Heh, I guess you learned how to speak nicely after being with Aria? It’s a huge step forward.”
Incarnation of magic.
Child of talent.
Azazel.
“Azazel, focus on the enemy.”
A person who destroys injustice including curses.
A faithful being recognized by the cult of sexual love.
Aria.
Trusted comrades arrived at the battlefield.
* * *
Leon exclaimed in admiration at the intensity of the battle unfolding before his eyes.
The attacks were so intense that he wondered if he could survive even for a few seconds if he was stuck between them.
Astein is in charge of defense, and Aria is in charge of recovery and assistance.
The main blow is from a wizard named Azazel.
The expression of the magic formula and super-speed weaved at her fingertips.
“It’s a pity to see it alone.”
Even the existence that created Leon was in a hurry to block the connection.
Her laid-back look also cracked her face.
– It’s getting on my nerves!
As the boy stomped his foot, a huge, turbulent wave seemed to hit the surroundings.
But Azazel also stomped her foot, nullifying the wave.
“Me too. Throw the suicide bombers arrogantly?”
Didn’t that cause her Aria’s sister to worry?
This bastard wouldn’t know how much she struggled to soothe her weeping, her clinging to her.
– I guess you were trying to dig up some information? You don’t even know the subject?
Azazel replied in her sharp tone.
“I’ll give it back to you. Who’s the bat cub that doesn’t know the subject? If they invaded on their own, you should be prepared to stop, right?”
It wasn’t just a verbal response.
Extreme coldness directed at the boy.
Cold core.
It was a cold that even shadows with high magic resistance were reluctant to do.
Dangerous if hit directly.
Under such judgment, the boy piled up the sphere with multiple shadows.
Overlapped, overlaid.
It took many shadows to stop the blue orb.
If you try to catch your breath, the hero attacks.
“Are you more relaxed than before?”
-Don’t be cocky, mortal!
Also, if you avoid the hero’s sword attack, the wizard’s next spell will be completed.
Repetition of the vicious cycle.
A boy with infinite vitality never gets physically exhausted, but mentally it’s different.
He is feeling exhausted
At the same time as I thought, Einstein came in.
Chew!
He came in with the momentum to cut his back.
The boy tried to heal this wound.
“Do it.”
Because of the damned saintess who easily reverses curses, she couldn’t even do that.
This is why it is difficult to deal with a party of warriors with a good combination.
It’s not difficult when dealing with each one individually, but when they gather, it’s painfully annoying.
The boy realized it was time to step back.
– I’ll have to plan the future.
“Who let go?”
As the cheeky wizard said, they intend to annihilate themselves here.
But everything is arranged.
-Unlike you guys who are secluded, it’s because I’m a busy body. I only came here for a moment, and I have no intention of engaging in an all-out war yet.
The fact that there is no intention of starting an all-out war yet means that it will happen someday.
Killing them here will serve as an advantage in many ways.
Einstein concentrated mana into the sword in order to perish from this demon.
“I will kill you.”
-I’m looking forward to it, although that’s not the case now.
A black glow shone brilliantly from Einstein’s sword.
Realistically, black light cannot exist.
Because it cannot exist, it is beautiful, quaint and eye-catching.
The boy activated the shadow before the black light could erode him.
The shadows pulsate.
Before Einstein’s blow could reach, a huge swollen shadow like yeast exploded.
The blow of black light and the bursting shadows interlocked to create a new explosion.
In an instant, the light that bursts out of view flickers.
Kuwaaaaagh!
A thunderous roar echoed through the inn.
The building itself shook as if they had fought so hard.
“Have you done it?”
At Arya’s question, Einstein shook his head.
There was no taste.
It is missed
“Let’s get out of here for now.”
It was an inn that was about to collapse.
