Chapter 158 – 6-Academy (96)
The Paladins and Priests were unable to take their eyes off the fierce battle taking place in front of them.
Huge lightning strikes constantly, striking the black figure in the air, and the black figure emits a sharp aura with dark red energy from its body.
Wow! Kwagwawang!!!
In a situation where the heavens were angry and judged, there was no one who was willing to step forward.
The saintess who usually frowned and showed her anger whenever news of Artel came in. Even though she frowned at the sight of her causing her lightning several times in the sky, she always kept her eyes closed. I couldn’t even get the words out.
She is a saint, but she is not a foolish fool.
The current situation is clearly incompetent, forming a structure of the successor of a ducal family with tremendous skills who is fighting against the church that is one step behind.
Here, she, as a saint, was enraged by her handling of lightning, which was her divine right and power, and she knew that no one would take her side even if she brought up her inconvenience.
Besides, the first princess was looking at the boy with an expression full of interest and anticipation, and the second princess was looking at the boy with an expression full of love and relief, so she didn’t even think that the current battle was a go-stop.
Of course, even if it wasn’t for the two princesses, they wouldn’t be able to take lightly the situation where lightning raged, dark red auras flew around, burning each other, and trying to cut them down.
However, Artel and the Black Knight, who are currently fighting fiercely, are fighting without using their full power, although they have different circumstances.
This battle isn’t a joke, but it’s just an intermediate shortcut to quickly get a result that doesn’t kill.
The reason Artel fights now is not to avenge people’s enemies, nor is it to subdue demons.
It’s just one of the operations for yourself.
And, unfortunately, there was not a single person present who could notice this.
———————–
The black knight and my sword collided in the air, and powerful magic raged in all directions.
The enormous magic power contained in the demon sword had the momentum to cut the black knight in two, but the black knight’s sword was also a considerable thing, so it was blocking my demon sword well.
“Huh!”
[Come!]
Kwaaang! Quaang!
The huge roar, like a cannon firing, told me how strong the power of the black knight and my sword was.
But obviously, I had the upper hand in physical ability, so I put more strength into the sword, and with my strength, I pressed the black knight down while the swords were colliding with each other.
Bang!
In response, the black knight flew to the ground like a black meteorite and crashed into the ground, but his hard armor showed no scratches or scratches.
And when I got up right away and saw myself still floating in the air, I once again exclaimed in admiration, which made me feel very relaxed.
So I started acting while listening to the words of the black knight.
Haha! Great. Very good! It’s amazing that you have more strength than me at a speed that I can’t react to!]
“Shut up and die! I will kill you and give you a bloody funeral to pay for making this place like this!”
[Yes… ? Ah! That was the story OK, I’ll fit the story!]
While fighting the black knight, I intentionally shouted out loud, full of anger and resentment, and now the black knight seemed to have roughly understood the situation and laughed and said he would respond properly.
The reason we fight now is not to kill each other, nor is it because the black knight is a villain.
It is a kind of show that fights only for the purpose of raising my stock price, and that is why we must look like enemies who want to kill each other.
And the black knight, who understood Inje Yai, acted properly and emitted a strong black energy from his body, making him look like he was wrapped in a black mist.
I had a hunch that it would be a very good publicity story because the appearance was an evil monster itself, and at the same time, it was also letting me know that the black knight was not an easy opponent.
That’s why I strengthened my body even more and raised my fighting spirit.
Our fighting spirit and mana quickly spread out in all directions and collided, and none of the paladins flocking in all directions were able to intervene in our fight.
The tension that would cut you right away if there was even the slightest gap, and the momentum to cut it if you saw the slightest gap, everything made me feel hot.
Perhaps if this battle hadn’t been half a lie, I was so excited that I would have tried to incinerate the whole area by scattering lightning with all my might.
[Ego… Come! I will reap the price of killing the demon that was my purpose with that life!]
“You’re laughing! I’ll kill you just like I killed that demon! The second-ranked great demon!”
[Whoops… Haha! Yes this is good too! Very good! You could even call this a kind of entertainment! Really… It’s a pity that I can’t stick with you as a body!]
I stretched out my hand toward the black knight who shouted proudly at me, whether he knew my feelings or not, and a powerful lightning bolt flew from his hand to the black knight like a storm.
As it was a check attack not to kill the opponent, but to deceive the eye, he lost his strength more than usual.
But its power was also great.
Reminiscent of a lightning storm, its power, which split the earth and rushed rapidly with thunder, was not weak at first glance.
Pajijijik!!! Kwagwawang!!!
However, the black knight lightly offset the thunderbolt with black energy, so I spurred my seat and quickly shot towards the black knight.
However, the black knight, whose vision was blocked for a short time during the check, threw away his lightning and shouted confidently, and I was right in front of the black knight’s nose.
[Thunderbolt! But that won’t kill me!]
“I didn’t even think that I would get hit by something like that in the first place.”
[! What!]
The black knight was astonished at the sight of me moving right in front of me in the moment when the black knight offset the thunderbolt and his line of sight was blocked.
And I grimaced at the sensation of hitting hard ore, which was not a living thing, spreading all over my legs.
Quaang!
After receiving the kick, the black knight flew away as fast as a cannonball, but I frowned at the slight numbness I felt in my legs.
“Use it…! The armor is dirty and hard!”
[Looks like that black knight’s armor… It’s not an ordinary ore!]
Darkness said something like a warning, but the blow containing strength and agility of 100 properly crushed the black knight’s side and blew him to the place where the paladins were gathered.
But my attacks do not end here.
“My legs hurt, but not so much that I can’t move!”
[Great! Let’s go, Artel!]
I rushed to the place where the paladins were flying faster than the flying black knight, and I raised the demon sword with both hands as if it were a hammer and struck hard.
The Demon King’s sword, which contained tremendous strength, pressed down on the black knight’s stomach and drove it to the floor.
Aaaaa!!!
[Ouch… That bastard’s hard armor hits me, but it hurts so bad!]
“…What… What are you doing! Bind that monster that Artel-sama caught!”
“Yes, I understand!”
At the sight of the black knight pinned to the ground, Darkness shouted swearing at the black knight, and the paladins around them seemed to have finally come to their senses and moved to arrest the black knight who didn’t move as if he was dead.
However, the actions of the paladins were the worst.
That was also true, since the black knight had neither fainted nor died.
Kuwaaaaa!!!
Dark red magic soared wildly from the body of the black knight and spread out in all directions, and the bodies of the paladins who approached were instantly turned into corpses.
People were taken aback by what happened in an instant, but I put magic into my sword and swung it at the dark red magic.
As a result, the dark red magic disappeared as if it had never happened, and the ground was melted by the tremendous amount of heat from the lightning, leaving a huge pit emitting heat.
The black knight crawled out of the pit, looked at me, and stroked the distorted and melted armor.
And he said in a slightly serious voice.
[…It’s not the main body, so it’s said that it’s an armor that was brought in haste, but I can’t imagine that it’s so lightly twisted and melted… It’s beyond my imagination]
That said, I couldn’t help but be surprised.
Even though I didn’t hit it with all my might, the armor was so hard that even I felt a slight numbness.
But that armor was worn for temporary soldering… What the hell is the body armor made of and how hard it will be, I can’t easily predict.
That said, it doesn’t seem like he’ll lose when fighting the main body, but he won’t win easily either.
[By the way, even if it’s not the main body, the damage is too much… I think I want to fight more, but I have to go now!]
Having said that, the black knight quickly left the front line.
I thought about catching him and killing him for sure, but I remembered that I had left Russell and the gazes of the paladins and princesses looking at me, so I decided to leave it alone for now.
Rather, the first thing to do is to think about what to do next while watching the Paladins start cheering after seeing me.
