Chapter 81 – #18 La Tarajue, La Saqat, for That’s a Warrior (3)
The corpse dragon, kicked by Emilia earlier, was staggering to his feet, but parts of his body crumbled and fell down again.
Like that black knight, he was not yet in perfect physical condition, and Emilia, thinking that it would be difficult if he went wild, put all her mana into it and drove it with all her might.
‘There are people who haven’t escaped yet.’
‘In addition, the second princess is also here.’
For some reason, Earl Meln is also here,
Even though it seems to cover the second princess, it must be an illusion.
It’s ridiculous that he saves people.
I’d just be a dog trash child.
Let’s slowly figure out what this situation is now.
Now, for now, what to do with the monster child in front of me.
“―――――Taaaaa!!”
Kakiaaang! Kachiiing!!
Letting out a roar filled with her spirit, Emilia collided with her black knight.
To the death knight in the black mist,
Emilia fought back with two beautifully shining swords.
The knight looked twice as big as Emilia, including the helmet.
She was an opponent who seemed unlikely to be able to compete with physical strength, but Emilia did not back down and clung to her.
Black and white sword lights repeatedly intersect with a loud sound.
『――――――!!!」
A roar of joy erupts from the death knight.
However, the high-pitched roar gradually turns into a profound and terrifying one.
He was still in a state where the shackles of the seal were not completely lifted.
He had just woken up, only to move like a corpse to obey the orders of the king he had sworn allegiance to.
However, he was barely facing his target, and little by little he was regaining his former self.
The black mist flowing through the gaps in the armor thickened as time passed.
As if waking up by knocking on a sleeping object, gradually his spirit increases in strength, revealing himself as a full-fledged demon king’s confidant.
Chae Ae Ae Ae!!
“Chit… !”
Once again, the jet-black greatsword and the two longswords clashed with flames erupting, and Emilia let go of her sword in her hand.
The sword I let go of had a crack in its body, and it shattered in no time.
The jet-black knight saw this as an opportunity and immediately tried to swing his greatsword, but Emilia’s hand was already half buried in the shadow at her feet.
And in time for her greatsword to strike down, she raised her hands vigorously, and in her hands were already two new longswords of the same type.
Kakaaaaa!!!
Again, clash.
The black mist and the silver lines run in the air again, crashing into each other with a loud sound and sparks.

‘Emilia… ? What is Mona doing?’
Faced with this situation, Earl Meln and the princess frowned as they distanced themselves from the two.
Emilia must have been with Mona.
Although it was an unexpected situation, the best course of action in this case was to take Emilia and hide somewhere.
Mona was not suited for such a breathtaking battle, but with her knowledge of all kinds of magic and sorcery, she would have been able to take Emilia and hide somewhere behind her.
I don’t know how Mona, who was obviously with her Emilia, sent her here.
Besides, because he was her contractor, he could tell, it didn’t seem like Mona was in Emilia’s shadow right now.
It is the same just by looking at her body, which is supposed to be covered by her Mona’s magic, that she dares to tear a curtain somewhere to cover her sloppily.
It can only be seen that it is because it is out of the range of Mona’s phantom magic.
Of course, if you try to move wildly while naked, her breasts will keep shaking, so that might be the reason.
‘Mona, where…’
First you need to find Mona.
I want to ask about her article, which is obviously related to her, and I have to find a way out for her to somehow end this fight.
“… Leah’s sister… ?”
A gentle yet weak voice tickled Earl Meln’s ear, who was lost in thought.
As she was evacuating halfway into his arms, she looked over Count Meln’s body at Emilia, who was confronting her knight.
The gaze contains the light of envy.
Earl Meln tried to hold back the feeling of sighing for some reason, and whispered to the princess.
“Princess, you have to move quickly.”
“Ah yes. Thank you, Count Meln. This grace must be…”
“Come on, move.”
The princess with a small bird-like atmosphere is dyeing her face red as if she was embarrassed by the first man she held in her arms.
As she led her and approached the exit of her banquet hall, she was able to join the few remaining knights belonging to the princess who were still alive.
While being escorted by them, he leaves with the princess.
In his heart, he wants to remain in this place where Emilia is, but there is nothing he can do if he stays like this.
‘Mona, I need to find Mona first.’
One eye of Earl Meln, who had secretly covered it with his hand, was dyed red.
Above those pupils, the proof of the contract with Mona, the 【Contract Seal】, appeared vaguely.
* * *
Chae-chaeng, Chae-chaeng!
Kakyaang! Caang! Chae ae ae ae!
――Cut, cut, cut, cut, furrigo.
――Slash, cut, block, swing, cut, bow, dodge, swing again.
A slash that erupts. Two silver swords.
Fast and sharp attacks dazzle the eyes and fly in all directions, and if one is blocked, it returns with a double slash.
If it tries to cut down from the front with its strength, it deflects the attack like water flows and unleashes a deadly attack from a blind spot to suffocate the other side.
“Aaaaa!!”
Again, roar.
As if taking advantage of the difference in height, he lowered his body like a beast and attacked the lower part of the knight.
Compared to him wearing jet-black armor, Emilia has no defense, but her body is light and she can increase her speed as much as she wants.
She counters power with speed. She doesn’t give the other person a chance to think.
Chae-chaeng, chae-chae-chaeng!
Chae-chae-chae-chae-chae-chae-chae-chae-chae-chae-chae-chae-chae-chae-chae-chae-chae-chae-chae-chae-chae-chae-chae-chae-chae-chae-chae-chae-chaechae
At close range, a desperate in-fight that will blow your throat at once even if you relax even a little.
It doesn’t allow an inch of gap, and it doesn’t push even a little bit.
Not retreating, not collapsing.
Cling to and fight
Swing the sword without slowing down.
The black knight who was receiving such attacks from Emilia was certainly becoming more agile and stronger.
However, as if responding to that, or more than that――Emilia’s momentum also did not lose, and she increased her speed and strength and clung to it.
Bakkiing! Boom!
“Ah! Really!”
Again, at a critical moment, the sword split in two and broke. One side could not withstand Emilia’s energy and shattered.
I couldn’t stand it, and an annoyed sound came out.
『――――――」
Beginning to estimate the timing of the sword breaking, the black knight immediately swung his greatsword at Emilia, whose weapon had disappeared.
Emilia ducks and avoids her.
Profit… !
There was a slight scar on her chin. But luckily that’s all.
Blame, blame, taat!
Stepping her backwards a few times to distance her,
Then, with her back flexed like a cat, she tumbled back and widened the distance even more.
“Whoa, whoa, whoa… !”
Emilia wiped the sweat dripping down her chin with the back of her hand.
Her bangs that keep trying to stick to her eyes are annoying.
Compared to her sweaty Emilia, who shrugged her shoulders and exhaled her breath, her counterpart, the black knight, seemed to be in good health.
She has no notion that she is tired of him being undead in the first place.
Furthermore, the more she fights, the more she regains her original self and becomes stronger.
That’s why her black knight had no reason to give her Emilia time to rest.
All I had to do was to drive her wide open distance, approach her at once with her own steps, and continue to drive her as she was.
Iron… !
However, half a step, the black knight stood still as he put his armor-clad foot forward in pursuit.
『… ?』
His gaze was directed to Emilia’s feet.
In the shadow at her feet, where Emilia had drawn her sword many times, I could feel the flow of her unusual magical power.
The quality of that magic attribute was familiar.
It is very similar to his colleague’s.
Furthermore, I could see traces of the same magical power, albeit faintly, in the opponent I was confronting with, and in that woman as well.
It was vividly felt in Emilia’s shadow right now, as if it were shaking.
“It’s really annoying. What is taking so long?”
“Like a slug. It’s really slow!”
Emilia muttered as if lamenting.
There was no sign of her trying to pull out a new sword.
“Monaaaaa!”
However, the shadow of Emilia that the black knight was still wary of.
The shadow at her feet swayed for a moment,
Before long, it began to spread widely around her as if she was suddenly expanding.
As if eroding the entire floor of this banquet hall, it spreads out.
『… !』
That shadow approached the black knight as if it had nothing to cover.
As if responding, the black knight stuck his sword at his feet.
Koo!
A greatsword crashed into the floor with a heavy sound.
With him, shadows no longer invade his realm,
It stops, drawing a clear line as if blocked by an invisible wall.
However, it could not reach the black knight, but the shadow continued to spread widely in a radial direction centered on Emilia.
――What are you trying to do?
The knight was still vigilantly glaring at the shadow and at Emilia.
Emilia wiped her sweat, shrugged her shoulders and still caught her breath.
Even so, she glared at the black knight with a pleasant smile as if she didn’t sense any sense of danger.
And the next moment.
From that grotesque shadow that covered part of the banquet hall centering on Emilia.
Suuk Suuk Suuuk, and countless swords began to rise.
“Okay, let’s continue, you damn tin son.”
Emilia shouted as if she was genuinely happy.
