Chapter 211 – Encountered Fellowship (2)
Episode 211 The Expedition Encountered (2)
“Why are you with the expedition?”
“Is that the only question?”
Melissa raised the tip of her chin. Despite her cheeky attitude, Lesilia calmly grasped the situation.
‘The range of hallucination magic is wider than I thought.’
Even the signs and traces were changed to someone else’s.
If Lesilia didn’t know about Worm Slane properly, she would have been fooled.
As the sea-blue braid swayed, a hallucinatory figure shone through.
‘Delphine-sama didn’t do it.’
The great sage is only good at 8th circle elemental magic.
Even if he used hallucination magic, he wasn’t skilled enough to even change someone’s senses.
“Is Duke Agares attached to the new saint?”
As if responding to those words, a sharp blade dug deep into the nape of her neck.
There were scars on her and drops of blood formed on her, but Lesilia’s face showed no fear.
“As expected, you act like an unscrupulous and disrespectful tribe.”
According to the original scenario of Artis’ world, the duke would be just an NPC with a name in the episode.
Duke Agares betrayed his master and became attached to Saint Etia.
And he was also behind the expedition that helped the expedition escape from the castle.
Realizing this, Lesilia felt uncomfortable.
Delphine flinched as well, confronting her eyes full of contempt for her treachery.
“You are caught. Do you think it would be better for both of us to surrender?”
“Nyaaaaang… ! I was so tired from hiding!”
“Hero, please give me an order.”
As the transparent curtain was lifted, members of the expedition team appeared one by one.
Nancy, rubbing her tired eyes with the back of her hand, trimmed her sharp fingernails, and Olivia, with her aloof posture, was shooting her arrowhead into Lesilia’s heart.
Hallucinated, they mistook Melissa for a hero.
Although he didn’t show up, Duke Agares was also watching shadyly from somewhere.
The blade Melissa had raised was digging into her fragile skin.
It is a situation where everyone seems to rush at it even if it is straight away.
Lesilia remained expressionless as she continued her situation.
As if she saw something unpleasant right in front of her eyes, she wrinkled her brow.
“It looks like the expedition is being manipulated. Was this also done by a new saintess?”
“No, it was originally my expedition, but I just got it back.”
“Your expedition?”
“Yes, it is a truth that even you, who moved with your own free will, do not know.”
She speaks as if she knows everything.
Lesilia was quite annoying.
Her holy power had a special power to screen out the aura of living beings.
The members of the expedition are the bodies that have signed a binding contract with the demon king.
However, an unknown force controlled their binding contract and locked it like a padlock so that they could not absorb demonic energy.
As Lesilia talked, she scattered her holy power so that her expedition would not notice.
When she reacted in harmony with the unknown power, she realized that it was the same holy power.
“Melissa, even if you don’t know what New Saint Etia did to you, your expedition will die if you continue like this.”
Without absorbing demonic energy, the body that contracted the restraint is dangerous.
Contractors who have only become the owner’s will lose their minds and bodies if they do not consume demonic energy in time.
Like Daphnell, their souls may perish.
Melissa glances over at her expedition and then tilts her head.
Gradually closing the distance, he drew closer to Lesilia so quickly that she could feel the cold breath on her face.
“Even if I die, it doesn’t matter because I will be resurrected.”
“… !”
“You know best, don’t you?”
One corner of Melissa’s expressionless mouth went up without hesitation.
The image of her who had committed mass slaughter right in front of her eyes came to mind.
Chills ran down Lesilia’s spine as she felt the cruel evil hidden behind her shadow.
“Melissa, was it you who terrorized the Temple of Gaia in the west?”
“Do I have to ask? A forgotten saint.”
“… You were the one who told me to beware of the new saint. I can’t hide my disappointment at the changed attitude.”
Instead of answering, the blade of the sword that was pressing down on the neck was strained.
Then Lesilia put her hands together and prayed.
When her holy power stored near her heart was released in large quantities, Melissa protected herself by stepping backwards.
“I am very disappointed in you now.”
The blue eyes that had been rolled up were bright red.
It upsets Melissa to pretend to be a warrior in front of her expedition, and to have her use her blessings at will.
“And Tia, the new saintess, is also angry with Goddess Gaia for giving her blessing to such a saintess.”
She couldn’t understand her new saintess, who was the culprit behind everything, and the Goddess Gaia, who loved her now.
Emotion naturally went beyond anger to contempt.
The overflowing holy power soon dominated everything around him.
The extremely sacred and lofty appearance awed everyone in awe.
“You may be a hero recognized by the new saint, but I am not.
Artis The world does not want arrogant warriors who pursue their own interests.”
“… “
Melissa secretly swallowed a heavy silence.
It was the first time Lee Da-ji felt afraid after he appeared in this world.
Huge holy power overflowed, and it hovered around and threatened each person as if to judge them.
It’s like a crushing pressure on your heart.
“I don’t approve of you.”
The air is heavy.
Kuw, Melissa lets out a little breath and puts her hand over her trembling hand.
Power was added to the end of the Amand sword, and artificially created divine power appeared.
“It’s not enough that you terrorized the temple in the west, do you just make the expedition members you claim to be your colleagues die? ‘Resurrection’ has been removed in a world that is about to perish.”
Lesilia was genuinely furious, and Melissa opened her eyes as if she had heard something unpleasant.
Thud!
The swirling holy power created a sword shape large enough to cover the ceiling of the sky.
Came to her senses, Melissa quickly switches to her attack stance, boosting her divine powers.
“It’s the beginning of an all-out attack!!”
All of them rushed together in line with Delphine’s leading command.
Kwaaang!
At the same time, Melissa and the expedition team disappeared into the dirty smoke.
Puck! Shuuk- Bang!
The sound of battle was heard mercilessly, but their battle was invisible like a shadow.
“Nyaang! I can’t see anything!”
The smoke cleared at a slightly slower rate. The first to complain was Nancy, who had good eyesight.
The smoke entered his eyes relentlessly and looked around with blurred vision.
ㅡuuuuu
A tremendous boat horn pierced my ears.
Nancy quickly covered one ear and looked up to find the source of her sound.
The ceiling of the sky was covered with holy power and emitted artificial light.
Nancy would already be blind if her gray cloud hadn’t wrapped her holy power.
The dirty earth smoke slowly settled.
After clearing her throat a few times, Delphine exclaimed with her eyes blinded by the sky.
“It’s a wonderful sight to the point of chilling your back… !”
The sky opened.
The shape of a sword that is larger than before has appeared, and its tip gazes at Melissa and sharpens its blade.
“The new saintess didn’t covet your power for nothing.”
Melissa clenched her fists and drew her rapier sword from her side.
Crossing her two-handed sword, she suddenly amplifies her divine power.
“… It is very dangerous.”
Sitting on her knees, Lesilia kept her eyes open.
Melissa, who read her clear anger, also spurred on quickly.
“We see that our fighting spirit is boiling. It would be good to join the war.”
[Wouldn’t it be better not to?]
“… ?! Who are you!”
The voice echoing in her head is familiar.
Olivia and Nancy were also surprised to see if only Delphine had heard it.
[If a person answers, you have to talk. Is not it?]
“I asked who you are!”
Olivia pricked her long ears and shouted into her air.
The voice so familiar to the expedition did not come out to the ‘hero’ who was confronting Lesilia.
“Oh, brother… You don’t seem to understand?”
[Why did he have to be resurrected with a holy sword… Guys, can you hear my voice?]
Lucy appeared in front of the expedition, which was looking around in bewilderment.
Lucy shuddered and cherished the sword in her arms.
“What is that… ?”
[Hey, it’s me! I, the hero Rex Etia! Retina!]
“Um… ? As the sword says… It’s a mysterious sword.”
[Nancy, don’t play around!]
It seemed that the sword the girl with bobbed hair was holding was talking to her.
A strangely familiar voice and tone.
“?! Warrior? But the hero is over there… !”
The first thing Olivia noticed was her Melissa and her holy sword.
As if I couldn’t believe it, my pupils trembled violently.
Perhaps she was embarrassed, but she did not notice the sign that appeared again.
“Duke Agares hallucinated. You have more strength than before.”
“!!! Devil!”
Next to Lucy, this huge space opened up, and Ikarut, who came out through the gap, fluttered the hem of her cloak.
As soon as they saw the Demon King, the expedition showed tremendous momentum and entered into a battle posture.
[Ha, what is that woman again? Did I resurrect myself that I don’t know about?]
“It is not. Since you were resurrected with the holy sword, that woman must be a different being.”
“That’s right. Oppa Rex, you couldn’t be born as a woman with such big breasts and skinny.”
[… Isn’t that comforting?]
Ignoring the soon-to-be rushing expedition, they cut off their peaceful conversation.
Kwakkwakkwakkwa!!
In the meantime, the battle between the saintess and Melissa began.
Lesilia was fighting the battle with the most terrifying appearance among all the saints Ikarut had ever seen.
‘I’d better not touch it now.’
Holy power and divine power collided with each other, creating a roar and an explosion.
Lucy’s shoulders trembled spontaneously at that terrifying force.
[Ikarut, let me ask you one favor.]
“Reject.”
[Do not kill your colleagues.]
“My life depends on what those guys do to me.”
[… Damn, I don’t think it’s the demon king. Fake or real, both are the same.]
“When did I say I was dealing with your colleagues?”
Faaat-
Ikarut caught the spittle flying into the back of my head with his two fingers.
At the tip of the thin and slender saliva was a mark of a lily, symbolizing purity.
“Heh heh, I still can’t reach one of Ikarut-sama’s toes. You’re quite good at penetrating hallucination magic at once.”
“You look pretty fast. Sir Agares.”
Duke Agares, who quietly showed his presence, showed a wrinkled smile, but
He was hostile to the Demon King with cold eyes.
