Chapter 165 – Flowers in the Snowy Field (1)
Leticia Scarlett.
With her appearance, the war situation changed in an instant. Leticia’s shadow, which invaded the battlefield while Sabnak was careless, became a blade and tore her demon army to pieces, and even Subnak’s body was pulverized like tofu.
“The damn bitch…」
A ferocious intent to kill dwelled in the devil’s eyes, which quickly regenerated his body. It was a failure caused by the fact that she did not notice Leticia’s approach because her mind was distracted by the enormous power that overwhelmed Savnak’s feelings from afar.
“Vampire Princess… !”
“Leticia-sama!”
Anna and Eileen welcomed Leticia. The nickname ‘Vampire Princess’ was a bit embarrassing and she wished she hadn’t called her, but Leticia only slightly turned her head, wondering if she was saying something to Eileen, who was looking up at her with her twinkling eyes.
“I’m sorry I’m late. You’ve worked hard, so the two of you can rest now…”
“—No.”
“… Huh?”
As Leticia folded her wings and landed on the ground, interrupting her words, Anna said firmly. Anna stepped in front of Leticia, who was slightly flustered.
“… Can you please leave it to me?”
Standing in front of Leticia, her confidence seemed to have weakened slightly, but the meaning was clearly conveyed. Leticia opened her eyes wide and smiled as she raised the corner of her mouth.
“Can I trust you?”
“… You don’t have to be alone, do you?”
Leticia and Anna’s eyes turned to Eileen. Eileen, who wanted to catch her breath now, was startled as the two looked at her.
“Oh, yes, yes! Let’s catch it together!”
I accidentally spit it out and regretted it inside. ‘… Catch that demon together? Why? Evil!’ Of course, it was only a cry that neither Leticia nor Anna could hear.
“These arrogant things…」
Savnak was also offended by their conversation.
Leticia said she couldn’t even guarantee her victory. No, when she looked at it calmly, her win rate would be less than 30%.
Why don’t you call such a monster and get help?
Besides what catch? At the expression as if he was treating prey, Savnak became enraged.
“Insignificant things that don’t even know how to do it…」
However, he calms down his anger inside. This must be the difference between a demon who surrenders to anger and a noble devil.
For Savnak, it would be a good thing if Leticia didn’t intervene. Apart from his own displeasure, Savnak had no intention of letting his emotions sway his work.
Instead, I would feed on my boiling anger and chew on two cheeky human bitches.
‘I’m staring at you…’
Eileen’s face hardened as if she was nervous. She only knew that she had come this far and that she couldn’t back down, so she pulled a long staff from her robe and grabbed it.
“That?”
“〈 Sea Road 〉… Friedrich’s Treasure.”
Leticia answered Anna’s question after seeing the staff member with the shining blue jewel.
Although there was no reason to use a staff, a tool of wizards because it was a knight, but apart from that, it was a well-crafted Noble Phantasm that, as expected of Friedrich’s treasure, gave a thrill.
She said, “I heard you can’t use it unless you’re an arch mage.”
When Leticia muttered something interesting, Eileen smiled bitterly.
“Is it because it’s been so long since I’ve known Cepes? I know too much.”
Conversely, Friedrich also prides himself on knowing more about Tzepes than anyone else.
As Leticia said, she is not yet qualified to handle 〈 Sea Road 〉 with Eileen.
But.
“If you simply use it, you can do it. Because it’s ‘Friedrich’.”
Considering only the risk after use, Aileen, the legitimate successor of ‘Friedrich’, could borrow that power as the owner of 〈 Sea Road 〉.
At her reply, which showed her pride in her own family, Leticia nodded her head instead of saying more.
“Then I’ll trust you two.”
“Please leave it to me.”
“Good luck.”
Leticia spread her wings. Leaving Eileen and Anna with Savnak, which she should have dealt with originally, she headed to the battlefield where a melee was still taking place, although her momentum declined with the appearance of Leticia.
“⋯⋯ Then.”
“Yes.”
Anna and Eileen. The two nodded their heads as if they were connected somehow, without even looking at each other.
Demon Savnak. As soon as Leticia left her seat, the devil, who seemed to be immobilized for a while due to Leticia’s appearance and check, ferociously inflated her momentum.
“When there is an opponent who seems to be unmatched, he will be considerate, and when he is easygoing, he will growl.”
Eileen muttered in a tired voice. To Savnak, it was blatant ridicule and provocation. Actually, Eileen’s inner feelings just leaked out because of her nervousness.
“…」
Savnak did not easily succumb to provocations. It was a very obvious trick. If it falls for things like this, it would be a pity for the name of the Great Devil who is favored by the demon king——.
“I can guess the level of the Demon King who has such a naive guy under him.”
Taang!
Savnak’s new model popped out. Like a knight enraged by being insulted by his lord, he rushed towards Eileen, putting his enduring insult to shame.
“──.”
Eileen did not avoid it. She stood upright, her lips licking as she held her 〈 Sea Rod 〉 with a hard face. As she chanted at high speed, green mana swirled around her.
It’s not that I’m not afraid, or I didn’t avoid it because there was a way to deal with a nearby demon.
“Where… !”
Anna quickly stood in Savnak’s charging path. The center of gravity is lowered, the posture is set, and the sword is only for shedding, not cutting.
“Get out of the way!”
“Are you going to get out of the way!”
Anna shouted. As far as her strength was concerned, she couldn’t afford to scream at her in her yard, even if she gnashed her teeth.
So it’s just a combination. With evil, squeezing her lungs, hitting the devil’s cry and good.
“Your opponent… It’s me… !”
Kaga gak gak! Savnak’s claws, no, something as sharp as an awl, slashed dozens of pieces of flesh hanging from Anna’s sword.
“What… !”
In the end, as Anna’s sword blew through Savnak’s massive and fast body and completely changed its trajectory, Savnak shouted in bewilderment.
She was a woman who was desperate to block her own attack until Leticia immediately stormed in.
Even that, because of Eileen’s buff, she barely endured. Then, the fact that Anna, although she was now overwhelmed, finally parried her attack gave Savnak a sense of crisis.
“‘You can’t leave it like this… !'”
It’s a monstrous rate of growth.
If you leave this woman like this, you don’t know what will happen.
「’I will kill you here!’」
Because I had no doubt that it was for the sake of Baal, the demon king I worshiped.
Savnak’s momentum has changed.
“Quit!”
Anna swallowed her moan. As soon as she received her intensified spirit head-on, sweat formed on her hand as she held her sword.
However, I can’t back down.
There is a strong determination in her eyes.
It is an opportunity that was obtained through her stubbornness.
Savnak is a tough opponent for Anna. Leticia couldn’t have known that either.
Even so.
“Brother and sister as a pair, driving people crazy really… !”
Deflect incoming attacks. The explosive murderous intent madly stimulated Anna’s survival instinct.
Can’t win
But.
‘Can I trust you?’
‘I’ll believe it.’
She said nothing. To be honest, she thought she would be rejected.
She didn’t even say ‘I can’.
It was also something that Anna could not bear to say. Without Eileen’s support, she would have had a hard time even holding out against Savnak for a while.
“Haaaaa… !”
A blue aura rises. The aura that had been burning like crazy had been infinitely refined before I knew it, and it was shining like a white light.
Scarlett asked Anna to stay.
If he was a person who pretended to know everything in the world, he might have predicted that the devil would descend here.
No. Probably predicted
Anna had that certainty.
Therefore.
Therefore, the fact that Scarlett left this place to Anna.
And, instead of Leticia stepping out on her own, she entrusted Anna and Eileen with Savnak’s opponents.
“I.”
Power enters her hand holding the sword. And, slowly loosen up. It drains power not only from the grip, but from the whole body. Balance your legs, twist your back, from strong to weak.
“Blizzard——!”
Just in time, Eileen’s magic was completed.
〈 Sea Lord 〉’s power was created, the highest rank magic in the Ice Barrier World.
“… !”
In an instant, Savnak’s entire body froze. Anna, who was engaged in close combat with him, was also affected by her coldness, but she did not care about Anna, who fell into a trance at the moment.
‘My arm hurts.’
This is because the area around the joint is frozen. Anna forced her body to move. She is the one whose Aura attribute is ‘freezing’ from the beginning.
It might be a coincidence, but it was in stark contrast to the fact that Savnak, who had a good relationship with ice, couldn’t get out of the ice that had imprisoned his whole body.
Blasphemy! When I forcibly moved my frozen body under the influence of the cold air, my skin was torn. Even the falling drops of blood freeze. In the extreme cold, Anna’s body moved gracefully, drawing an afterimage.
I am not in good shape. Shocks were accumulated here and there, and no matter how similar the attribute was, it was affected by ultimate magic at close range. No matter how blessed Anna is with her talent, when she came this far, she wasn’t at the level of overdoing it, and it wasn’t strange when her body jerked to the brakes.
But.
‘… It’s light.’
Something, something
It seemed as if he could touch her hand. Only in this moment, coincidence upon coincidence, luck and blessed talent combined.
Move your strangely light body.
Only one moment now.
Anna’s swordplay became a flash of light.
“───Kroychev Ryu.”
Secret meaning
Snow Flower
Full bloom.
So-so—.
The devil’s neck, arms, legs, and limbs were severed, and ice flowers bloomed on top.
