Chapter 82 – #18 La Tarajue, La Saqat, for That’s a Warrior (4)
–Help me. I have no one to ask for but you.
‘Really, I don’t know if the devil has an idea or not.’
Probably not.
It wasn’t just the situation right now, but from the beginning Emilia wasn’t a person who thought deeply before moving on.
That was the evaluation of a person named Emilia as seen by Mona.
Of course, it wasn’t that Emilia’s brain was bad. Nor is she lacking in thinking.
But she must have been alone for a long time without taking responsibility for anything,
And the fact that she passed through easily solving any problem with the power of her hero must have made Emilia what she is today.
It’s okay to say that her lack of life experience is.
Leaving aside the position of Mona, who has lived for hundreds of years, even from the point of view of an ordinary human being, Emilia is still a newbie who lacks her life experience.
Right now, Mona is flying rapidly through the garden in front of the imperial palace.
On the way, he found a group of knights who had already been slaughtered by the black knight, and packed all their swords that had become terrifying corpses.
The swords stored in the shadows can be transferred at any time through the linked shadow of Emilia.
Even now, while fighting the sword knight, Emilia, whose sword is breaking, takes out her sword in real time, but
The large amount of swords he had collected by the corpses of the knights were about to show up on the floor.
‘Really, what is this?’
‘I think I’m going to get scolded by the owner.’
In the end, Mona came to grant her Emilia’s 『Request』.
Please, please, let me fight the black knight.
Perhaps it was Emilia herself, rather than her own will, that she pushed her back with her divine protection inscribed in her soul unit.
It’s at a level that even Mona’s magical dominance can’t suppress,
If Mona tried to suppress it with her magical power, conversely, all of her magic on Emilia could have been shattered and canceled.
‘Because that’s the worst. I must have been cut before that stupid Death Knight.’
In the end, since Mona had no other options, she had no choice but to do what Emilia asked.
In addition to that, since she couldn’t just let Emilia die, she decided to do her utmost to help.
‘But it’s not just a bad story.’
‘Anyway, that Death Knight has just been released from the seal, so his performance won’t even reach half of its peak.’
‘I did.’
Mona was bound by a different kind of seal than her black knight,
In any case, after being freed from the seal that had been restraining her for hundreds of years, the performance of her abilities had declined excessively for a while.
In addition, it will take a lot of effort and time to replenish the magic that has been emptied with the seal.
Although she is still young and has little experience, Emilia, who is on active duty, might be able to deal with her.
Yes, As long as you have a weapon.
As long as there is a weapon that can properly fight against her opponent and take full advantage of Emilia’s power, there is a chance of victory.
And the reason Mona is flying so swiftly now is to procure weapons for her Emilia.
‘Even though it’s a request, it’s that she wants something from her demons.’
‘We are the race of contracts. If you want one thing, of course I’ll get the corresponding price.’
It was this point that made Emilia’s rampage this time not all that bad.
In exchange for accepting Emilia’s insistence, Mona can demand a price from Emilia.
In return, Mona’s magic that controls Emilia becomes even stronger.
The power that governs it, and various influences besides that.
Because of this incident, I realized once again how dangerous [The Hero’s Protection] Is.
If it was the power of that divine protection, it might have been possible to shake off Mona’s witchcraft at any time.
If this incident strengthened the ability to control the magic, and if the magic settled in Emilia’s body and soul more and more as time passed, the power of divine protection would no longer be a threat.
Anyway, you need to keep an eye on it.
‘…’
“… As expected, that blessing.”
Mona muttered lowly as she flew through the air through the woods and headed for the shortest distance towards her target.
What she remembers is Emilia’s [Protection].
Clearly, that divine protection had the strength and will to shake off Mona’s sorcery.
However, when Emilia was dominated by Mona, she wouldn’t have been much of a help.
As if it didn’t matter whether it was or not, Emilia’s divine protection didn’t help much and she fell off the pacifier and rolled and rolled.
And now, with the advent of the dangerous old aristocratic Death Knight, it has begun to show efficacy.
More than anything else, it made Emilia burn with her will to fight with an abnormal attitude.
Not for herself, but for others.
Not for myself, but for others.
Such a heart, forcibly stirs up.
It’s like–‘Curse’Feels close to
“… See.”
Hiding her body with phantom magic, she escapes the eyes of the guards and goes inside.
Fortunately, the space she was aiming for was not currently locked.
The place where Mona arrived is the castle’s armory.
In a neatly organized space filled with swords, spears, axes, maces, shields, and all kinds of armor, Mona stood still floating in the air.
There were a couple of soldiers in her arsenal, but the sleeping incense she spread with her magic put her to sleep right away.
There is no one to stop her now.
“No matter what happens, you have to survive, Leah.”
“Leaving aside everything else, I want Leah to live as long as possible.”
Mona landed on the floor.
The shadow at her feet wriggled like a living creature, expanding her area in one breath and covering the inside of her arsenal.
She had no intention of sending it all away.
It is worse than not sending an intermediate weapon.
A little more inward, a little more treasured things.
The weapons used for special missions and given to special knights are covered with shadows and sent to Emilia in their entirety.
“I mean, I really liked Leah ♪”
Inside the silent armory.
In a place where no one stopped, Mona muttered mischievously as she stole her weapon without a sound.
That bewitching smile of hers showed her wickedness and innocence, which were not lacking in her, to say that she was a demon.
* * *
Strange shadows spread widely in the banquet hall.
From the shadows that seemed to pulsate and tremble with strange magical power, all sorts of weapons were slowly rising up.
Morning Star with sword, spear, ax and huge weight.
It rose from the shadows, and it had a strange glow and strange aura that was different from an ordinary iron sword.
One of them, Emilia, grabbed her sword that had risen near her and pulled it out.
Shuohohong―
The sound of the blade cutting through the air is light.
As if weighing the weight of the sword in her hand, Emilia tightened and then withdrew her hand from the grip several times, then held the sword with both hands and headed for her black knight.
The shadows that covered the floor and swayed quickly faded and disappeared.
However, all the weapons that sprouted from the shadows remain standing there as if waiting for their owner.
“―――――――!”
Shh!
Silver light and glittering gold ran through the banquet hall with a roar.
Despite the speed and momentum that ordinary people would not even be able to properly perceive, the black knight responded without delay by lifting the greatsword that had been inserted into the ground.
However,
Wooooo!!!
『… ?!』
The black knight’s foot broke the floor and was pushed back by the intense shock and a completely different weight than before.
–What?
――The weight of the blow has completely changed… ?
Go by way… !
Emilia’s sword and the black knight’s sword.
With the two swords touching each other, they enter into a contest of strength.
Until now, Emilia’s tactics were hit and away with light and fast footwork.
In addition to that, when it was unavoidable, she used all her strength to parry her attack to the side and let it pass.
Even with this difference in physique, it must have been a tactic adopted by Emilia in any case as she was clearly being pushed back by her muscular strength.
–By the way… Why…
But why did you come and attack me from the front like this?
Even with swords facing each other like this, Emilia was definitely being pushed back.
Somehow, her strength is lacking.
That fact is obvious, but why on earth did he come and attack from the front now?
The black knight had such doubts and was puzzled, but
As if Emilia, who had been pushed back, still had no worries, she uttered a familiar incantation with a serious expression.
“【Roar].”
It’s a simple yet short statement.
It’s sloppy to call it a spell, and it’s a short recitation that makes you want to be nothing more than a simple encouragement or cheer.
However, the results were extraordinary.
『… !!!!』
Oh oh oh oh oh oh–!
The sword body, which had been glowing silver with Emilia’s energy, was entwined with an indescribable colorless storm.
Little storm.
There is no other way to say it.
It’s only large enough to cover the area around the sword,
However, the storm that rages violently within that small range is not something that can be ignored.
Perhaps, if swept away by that air current, there was a savagery that would undoubtedly tear a creature to pieces.
Kiki, Kiki, Kiki, Kiki!
The greatsword of the black knight that was facing each other is separated from the opponent’s sword and shakes unsteadily.
In this way, there is no point in fighting.
Now, what is trying to crush him and tear him apart is not the individual Emilia, but the storm she leads—!
“Under…”
“Haaaaa!!!”
A long sword made of mithril that is completely different from normal iron swords in strength and magical conductivity.
With the magical powers imbued with it and the storm that raged with it,
Emilia overpowered the black knight for the first time and pushed her sword away.
