Chapter 47 – Shadows (3)
*
A carriage painted with gorgeous golden roses was running. Even the carriage horses were graceful white horses.
According to him, there was only one unit of knights escorting the surroundings.
The protagonist of the splendid procession was the Empire’s first princess, Beatrice.
“… Do you really have to go?”
Beatrice’s escort knight asked with a gloomy expression.
“Billman! How many times do you ask me back! I’m definitely going! Must! I will go no matter what anyone says!”
“…”
“Think about it. Don’t you think the only person who can save me is the hero?”
“You were never in danger in the first place, but… “
“Billman…A fool who only knows this sword! The hero you only saw in novels has actually appeared. It’s an obvious cliché for that hero to save me, the princess!”
“So. The princess said it wasn’t dangerous in the first place…”
“I am very dangerous right now. If I’m wrong, I’ll end up marrying my fat, clumsy fiancé!”
“What does a marriage and a warrior have to do with it?”
“If the hero proposes to the princess… Your father might change his mind and cancel the engagement. Don’t you know that too? Silly! Silly!”
“…”
Whenever Beatrice imagined the dignified hero, her face naturally blushed.
I haven’t heard anything about the hero in detail yet, but he must have been as strong and handsome as the hero in the story.
Beatrice, who was terribly dissatisfied with her fat and foolish fiancé, regarded this as a fate given to her by heaven.
“Why don’t we call a warrior to the castle instead? It’s too dangerous to go looking for it yourself.”
“What is the danger? Billman has too many worries, so it’s Tal. Do you bring a lot of knights like this? There are so many articles, can’t you keep just one?”
“I followed the orders of the emperor, but… Honestly, I want to go back.”
It was as soon as I said that. The twin wicks in Beatrice’s eyes flared up.
“… Billman. Are you saying that now? Let’s go back like this, at least once in a while…
How are you going to take responsibility if I marry that ugly, stupid pig? Can you take responsibility? Are you there!”
“…”
“Whoa. Really! Rather, why is the wagon so slow! When the hero is in the magic city, I have to meet him quickly.”
“It is still running at full speed. It will take well over a week to reach the magic city.”
“Ugh. Too slow! Stuffy. If I can’t marry the warrior because I’m late…
Billman! I will reside you for the rest of my life!”
‘Why is that my fault!’
Billman had a headache. However, he did not want to be resentful of Beatrice, who had been escorting him since childhood.
In the end, he had no choice but to wipe out his men, who were already running at full speed.

It is an abandoned mine where Lina and her party are. It wasn’t long after Kerry sent an urgent call to the wise man.
The elite wizards of the Mage Tower, who had been waiting, began crashing into the abandoned mine.
“Don’t let any of the traitors live!”
“”Wow!””
Wizards in blue robes are coming.
Ghouls and traps rained down from the depths of the abandoned mine, but it was not enough to stop the wizards.
In the end, the general wizards and the wise wizards had no choice but to collide.
“Reena. The president is sneaking away!”
“Yes. Has confirmed! Kerry is here. Natasha! Let’s stop this guy together. Victoria, please protect Kerry!”
“I will.”
Victoria stands firm in front of Kerry. Victoria’s appearance with her shield and sword was unremarkable.
“Kerry. Stay behind me I won’t let anyone hurt you.”
“Thanks. Victoria.”
The battle was terrible. The ghouls and magics that charged with maggot-pinned faces flashed lights, making the abandoned mine noisy.
Victoria slashed out all the approaching ghouls. And she also blocked the occasional flying magic with her shield.
Is it a magical shield? You are strong.
The safety of this side is abnormal. Kerry looked at Lina and Natasha. Before I knew it, Lina and Natasha were constantly pushing the president.
The president was also holding out against the two, as if he was trying to live up to his name.
The only thing I could do was open the shield and block it, though.
In fact, the movements of the two were invisible even to Kerry from a distance.
Some afterimages came and went, and sparks flew wildly on the shield.
If he had formed a proper party and fought, the president wouldn’t have been so powerless.
But since she abandoned her men and got caught while fleeing alone, there’s no way she can do anything about it.
“It’s smooth.”
“Don’t be alarmed. Kerry.”
Said Victoria as she slapped the neck of one of her ghouls.
“A cornered mouse bites a cat too.”
That’s true it’s scary to say Isn’t the president of the Mage Tower too big for a rat?
It was then.
The commander’s shield began to crack little by little as Lina and Natasha wielded their swords relentlessly.
“Keugh! These bitches!”
The president was clearly being pushed back. If that shield were to break, the chancellor might be hacked to pieces by swords so fast he couldn’t even see.
The president’s tense expression seemed to know that. And finally, the president’s shield was broken.
Chaechaechaeng!
A shield that shatters like pieces of glass. The president, contemplating inside, closed his eyes tightly.
But the pain I was worried about didn’t go away.
However, the upper part of his hand that was holding his staff was just missing.
Lina said as she aimed her sword at the president’s throat.
“This is the end. Rector. Surrender.”
Our Lina is gorgeous! Now that the captain is captured, the henchmen will give up. The chancellor screamed as he watched his severed wrists gushing blood.
“Haagh! My arm… My arm!!”
It was only for a moment that the president’s face was venomous. Suddenly, the president’s body turned red and he began to transform into a huge monster.
“Aagh!”
The general turned into a huge monster and started attacking at random. Lina and Natasha had no choice but to withdraw for a moment.
The game might be over if you hit the neck with one shot.
However, there was no way that such a thing would be possible with Lina’s personality.
The president gradually grew larger and changed into a demonic form. Then he began to stretch his mighty arms toward his men.
Tentacles protrude from his arms and pounce on his men.
“Aagh! No! President! No way!”
“Help me! Eat, I hate being prey!”
The general begins to absorb his subordinates one by one. Not only his subordinates, but also nearby ghouls were being sucked in by the president.
At that time, the president’s disgusting size grew bigger and bigger.
Is it similar to a fusion ghoul?
It looks less terrifying than him. At least it felt like a creature.
But the pressure was much greater.
“Crukreuk. Once you become like this, you can’t go back to being a human… But there’s no choice. Because it’s better than dying.”
“…Even his own men…You despicable bastards!”
“Don’t be ridiculous. The world is a world of weak meat anyway. This is no different from a human killing and eating a pig.”
Pudeuk
The sound of Lina’s molars clenching seemed to come all the way from here. It’s been a while since I’ve seen Lina so angry.
The chancellor stretched out his huge arms and started attacking Lina and Natasha.
However, attacking with a huge body was a trap. The real attack of the president was different.
Kerry could see that.
[Skills – Hell Flame, Ice Awl, Lightning Chain, Flame Orb, Ice Wall, Mysticization, Barrier, Fire Arrow, Breath, Binding, Poison Cloud, Hypnosis, Lightning Storm…]
The magic was still there in his skill window. It meant that he could use magic even in that state. It’s dangerous.
The wand he lost only serves to amplify the magic anyway. That guy became a monster, but he was still a wizard.
“Lina-sama’s trap! He might use magic!”
It was after Kerry screamed. A magic circle began to rise around the president who had turned into a monster.
“It’s already too late!”
That bastard ate his subordinates and rapidly raised his magic power.
To use magic with that kind of mana? I didn’t want to imagine what kind of power it would produce.
But there was nothing Lina and the others could do.
It was because he had already pulled his body back one turn because of his random attacks.
It was too late to rush in and stop the magic cast.
It was then.
Kerry took out her magic storage orb. The flame magic engraved by the white witch was contained in the bead.
The image is a mass of burning flames.
It was as soon as Kerry imbued her magic storage orb with her mana and took her image.
The air temperature around Kerry began to rise rapidly.
And a sphere of flame was shot forward.
The fire fired by Kerry hit the face of the president who was forming a magic circle.
Fire-!
It was only enough to burn the face of the president who had grown huge, but that was enough.
“Aagh! My face! Face! What a bastard! Wow!”
The gnome’s magic casting was canceled, and the president was tormented by the fire on his face.
Lina didn’t miss that chance. In no time at all, she rushed at the chancellor. She and she began to hack around and hack the huge body of the chancellor.
Every time Lina’s sword cuts the president’s body, blood spurts out. Natasha also attacked the president with a quick move.
“This, these damn bitches!”
The chancellor reached out to grab the women smaller than his fist, but there was no way he could catch them.
The chancellor raised his huge fist, his face burning. And he hit the wall.
One wall of the abandoned mine collapsed with the president’s fist, and the abandoned mine began to shake greatly.
Kwak Kwah Kwak-
“This is what will happen, everyone will die with me!”
It was the president who ran amok in the form of a monster.
However, no matter how rampant the chancellor was, Lina would not retreat more than a certain distance, and she never gave her a chance to use her magic.
At that moment, Kerry’s and the president’s eyes met.
“Because of you! If only it wasn’t for your magic! It’s already over! Wow!”
Fuck. Why are you yelling at me all of a sudden?
The president’s fist, which has turned into a giant monster, flies toward Kerry. I had to dodge.
But for some reason, Victoria, who was in front of Kerry, didn’t budge. What are you going to do with that big fist?
“Kerry! Don’t move behind me!”
Could Victoria hold up her big fists three or four times more than her own body? It was normal to not be able to stop it.
At that time, a transparent film began to form in front of Victoria. Victoria’s body was of course huge enough to block her surroundings.
Victoria braced herself and prepared to receive her massive fist.
Bang!
Victoria’s and her chancellor’s fists collide and a roar rang out.
The inside of the mine shuddered.
But Kerry could see that the huge fists that had attacked him did not budge.
Rather, the fist was crushing as if it had been beaten with iron.
“Ouch! This guy!”
Victoria had perfectly blocked her chancellor’s gigantic fist. After all, the former companion of the hero!
Victoria was a reliable tank.
“Kerry! Are you all right!”
“Yes. I’m fine. Victoria.”
“Okay. Thank god.”
Victoria’s back looked really cool.
Lina approached the president as if to finish her off.
“This is the end. President.”
“Don’t come any closer! He said he wouldn’t die alone! One blow from my fist and this place will completely collapse!”
The chancellor let go of his threat and stepped back.
It looked like she was frightened by the little blonde knight with her gigantic body.
Lina’s eyes brightened as if she was trying to see the gap in her president.
At that time, a low voice rang from the dark alleyway of the abandoned mine.
