Chapter 308 – #2-75 I Will Protect You (2)
Kang! Kang! Kang!
Quick! Kwa-ang!
Ride, ride, ride! Coo! Gagakak… Wow!!
Gold and blue light collide with each other and fall apart repeatedly.
Gold is Noah. The blue color is blue sapphire.
The cliff that Blue Sapphire had been supporting and embracing just a moment ago was currently looking down from an ice platform made in the air.
If you’re in that position, you don’t have to worry about being exposed to stray bullets.
Also, even if the warden tries to do something useless, he won’t be able to reach it.
‘So now.’
You only have to defeat this magical girl, the enemy in front of her.
“【Le Rem Sapphire】!!”
Blue Sapphire, who had just opened the distance with a loud collision, swung her staff at Noah.
Then, pillars of ice rose up from the floor, the ceiling, the walls, and all over the air, aiming at Noah.
A prison of ice to limit one’s actions while avoiding critical areas.
However, Noah violently destroyed the ice pillar that appeared in the air with her arms and legs covered in golden magic.
Blue Sapphire stuck out her tongue as if she was tired of the ignorant fighting methods.
Phew!!
“?!”
Breaking down her prison of ice, Noah flew towards Blue Sapphire, spurring her land in one fell swoop.
With just two leaps, Noah arrives right in front of Blue Sapphire.
Poop!
She managed to guard Noah’s flying feet with the staff she held in her hand.
However, Blue Sapphire’s body was blown away, unable to withstand the leg force of her golden magical power.
Only after knocking down several tables in the banquet hall and being buried between them noisily did Blue Sapphire’s flying body stop.
“Blue!”
The scream of a flying cliff.
And Noah took his stance again, as if he would never give her any time to rest.
She was about to run, but her movement stopped for a moment.
Before she knew it, her feet had become one with the ground and were frozen.
‘… ?! When… !?’
When I think about it, the thing that is frozen now is the leg I used to kick Blue Sapphire a little while ago.
Blue Sapphire cast her magic right before being kicked by her foot, freezing it in time.
Her ice did not break easily, as it contained quite strong magical power.
However, in the face of the ‘reinforcement’ achieved by consuming not only the magical power I currently have but also the magical power stock I normally saved, even that barely produced a delay of about 1 second or 2 seconds.
A very brief gap was created like that.
When Noah shattered the block of ice that bound her feet with the golden magic he had once again gathered.
In the direction where the blue sapphire flew in front of Noah, she felt an unusual flow of magical energy.
‘This… ?!’
“【Pure White Plain, Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows】”
“【Here is a white garden overflowing with white roses, here is the judgment of the ice kingdom】!!”
Along with the sonorous chanting voice, a chilling wind blows.
Several tables in the banquet hall were smashed, and the blue sapphire flew as if buried between them.
Rather than trying to remove the obstructive table that was weighing down her small body, she chose to chant her magic in that crouching position.
It looked unsightly, with leftover food on its legs and someone’s leftover alcohol poured over its head.
But Blue Sapphire’s blue eyes shine, and she points the tip of her staff, which emits the same blue light, towards Noah.
“【Swallow, freeze everyone――Windroom Tempestas]!!”
* * *
The magic court expands around blue sapphire.
And those lips create magic.
“【Everyone freeze–Wintroom Tempestas】!!”
Noah urgently leaps and runs toward the blue sapphire.
But than Noah reaches Blue Sapphire.
Blue Sapphire’s magic was activated faster.
――――――――――――!!!
Booooot!!!
What is swirling is a huge storm that swallows and freezes everything.
Noah’s body, which flew like an awl or a bullet toward Blue Sapphire, was swept away by a fierce snowstorm that turned white before her eyes.
Her golden-colored body is blocked by the swirling storm, and soon she is enveloped in a pure white fog filled with snowflakes and flies away.
Ice powder that freezes even the atmosphere flew in, covering the area around the Blue Sapphire and its front.
“Ah… “
“Aaaaa!!!”
A voice like the roar of Noah, pushed by a storm, was heard, but it was also covered and erased by the blizzard that froze and tore through the air.
The storm didn’t just blow Noah through the wall, it made the entire banquet hall creak, eventually collapsing the front wall and flooding the room beyond.
Booooo… !!
In this way, the cold storm that had been swirling for a long time throughout the banquet hall and the space beyond slowly subsided and calmed down as the blue sapphire’s magic faded.
After the completely unrecognizable white storm subsided, what remained was a world of pure white ice that covered the surroundings and front of the Blue Sapphire like a fan.
Although such a powerful storm raged, other areas of the banquet hall, except for her front, were fine.
The reason Blue Sapphire used this great magic now was not just because it had created a loophole for Noah.
There were still magical girls who were unable to evacuate inside the banquet hall, and they had no choice but to carefully choose the location and angle to avoid harm to those magical girls.
During a high-speed battle that felt like your eyes were spinning, you thought about it, checked your surroundings, found the perfect location, and even though it was half a coincidence, you even took advantage of the opponent’s attack to create the composition you wanted.
Although Blue Sapphire doesn’t seem to be aware of it herself, it can be seen as an innate fighting sense that makes her stick out her tongue.
Fighting… Fighting…
Quick… Damn…
A world of ice with no more life left, a pure white frozen land.
The ice crystals fluttering like flower petals in the sky reflected the light and sparkled.
The wall that had collapsed in the storm and its surroundings were also frozen white.
Noah couldn’t be seen because he flew far away.
It was a storm that froze everything in her, but she would not be completely frozen as she was protected by her golden magic.
However, there may be no more magical power left that can be used. Blue Sapphire was a bit optimistic, but decided to think that way.
* * *
Rattly
Blue Sapphire stood up, shaking off the table and other objects that were blocking her.
Then, her body stumbled and almost fell, but she somehow managed to support her body with her cane and avoid falling.
Is it because I used too much magical power? Or it may be because I have been overly abused by the warden over the past week.
Anyway, feeling an incredible sense of helplessness pressing down on her body, Blue Sapphire slowly approached somewhere.
“Ugh… Ah… Evil… !! My, my legs… My legs… !”
The direction in which Blue Sapphire walks unsteadily.
There, the prison guard, who until now had not escaped but was simply denying reality, had collapsed.
Unfortunately, he was narrowly caught within the range of Blue Sapphire’s magic, and thanks to that, one of his legs was completely frozen.
You won’t be able to escape with those legs. Blue Sapphire was satisfied and slowly walked towards him.
But before Blue Sapphire could reach him, someone came down from the air.
The cliff that had been taking refuge on the ice platform made by Blue Sapphire has just come down in front of the guard’s nose.
“It’s your defeat, Warden Bennell.”
“Huh… Omg… W-what… ? Defeat… I… ?”
The guard was covering the leg that was still frozen, not knowing what to do, and asked back as if he did not understand what Dan-ae was saying.
This time.
Only this time he thought he would succeed with words.
After being hit hard by the cliff and experiencing the spicy taste, I thought something like that wouldn’t happen again.
His thoughts were correct to some extent.
Having suffered a serious burn once, he was cautious until the end, and unless it was only for a moment, he covered Dan-ae’s eyes so that she could not resist.
If the only person he had to worry about was a cliff, his plan would have definitely succeeded.
He would safely make her his exclusive slave, and forever play with her in his hands, treating her as his toy and plaything.
It should have been like that all my life.
However… A woman named Blue Sapphire.
A variable called Blue Sapphire ended up pouring cold water on his plan.
No, not just blue sapphire… Someone else who disabled his weapon could also be seen as a villain who sabotaged all of his work.
“That can’t be possible… No way…”
“I, I am a failure… Still, I…”
The warden blinked his toad-like eyes in disbelief and denied reality.
He shakes his head and mutters to himself that he shouldn’t do that.
The voice that was chanting like that soon becomes louder and turns into vicious swearing and accusations directed at the cliff and Blue Sapphire.
It’s like a situation where a hedgehog puts up thorns here and there on its back to protect itself.
Of course, the hedgehog is 100 times cuter than that chubby alien male like a pig.
And.
All that was left was Prison Chief Bennell, who was denying reality.
Deeply――
“… ?”
I had no idea when or how a pitch-black knife ended up stuck in the back of my neck.
I just opened my eyes and saw the handle of a knife sticking out of my neck.
And I could barely make out that the tip of the knife was being held in Danae’s slender hand.
“Ugh… Wow…”
Slurp…
The chief jailer collapsed on the spot, blood foaming at his mouth.
Dan-ae avoided falling in a position that made it seem like he was trying to hug Dan-ae by taking a couple of steps back.
On the floor, Warden Bennell is lying with a knife stuck in his neck.
And through the wound, dark red blood spreads on the floor.
The person in charge of the 『Facility』, And a genius in brainwashing and mind manipulation that is superior to anyone else in Mekrak, Chief Warden Benel.
A man who had ambitions and plans to become the king of Mekraq by obtaining magical girls and the “Liberation Front” They gathered together.
However, compared to his grand ambitions, his death as he fell alone on the floor seemed very shabby.
“Bye. Still, it was a pretty refreshing experience. “I don’t want to meet you again.”
“Please, go to hell.”
Dan-ae just looks down at him with calm eyes as he collapses and dies in front of her.
Her slowly spreading blood eventually reached the position where she had taken a couple of steps back, and faintly wetted the tips of her toes…
