101 – Mine – 1
Who is the strongest character in the world of ‘She heals the wounded world’?
Most of the readers of the original work will pick Rex, and a small number of readers will pick Avatar’s leader.
However, this world is no longer fiction to me, but reality.
Then, changing the question, who is the strongest ‘knight’ in history in this world?
And if you ask this question, you will probably get a variety of answers.
Someone will pick ‘Arthur Axus’, the originator of the Axus family.
Someone will pick ‘Lore Tonel’, the 9th Central Knight Commander.
Someone will point out ‘Dite Rosen’ as the knight who participated the most in subjugating Class A monsters.
But most people will probably answer like this.
The current head of the Axus family, ‘Ados Axus’, is the strongest knight.
Of course, there is no clear evidence.
In the first place, in the era of ‘Arthur Axus’, the beginning of the Axus family, there were no witches, so it is difficult to compare, and there may actually be stronger players hiding.
Nevertheless, the reason people picked my father as the strongest knight in history was simple.
In the history of knights, there was a record of single-handedly subjugating an A-rank monster.
Someone quotes my father’s words at the time and demeans that it was just luck, but almost all articles directly refute such words.
A knight can’t fight without excluding luck.
Even if it was pure luck, the name ‘Ados Axus’ would not disappear from history just by subduing an A-class monster.
Well, to put it bluntly, the reason I eventually returned to my hometown is to be trained directly by my father.
Four years ago, after the incident at Leon’s debutante ball, I had a sparring with my father for a while, but it was probably nothing more than a joke to him.
At that time, I was at a level where I really didn’t know anything.
But now it’s different.
Anyway, I now have the skills of a low-level knight, both subjectively and objectively, and I have a record of sparring with the high-ranking knight Arbane.
In addition, I recently took a break from training because I was tired, but I had my own pride in training every single day until that point.
In the end, what do you want to say?
“Knowing how to keep your distance is good, but you are overly concerned.”
I thought that if I had to fight with my father again, I would still be able to endure it to some extent.
I never imagined that I wouldn’t be able to touch a hair on my head for a week.
Since Dalian started, all I could do was get hit, hit, hit, hit again and then fall down.
Isn’t this enough to be one-sided bullying rather than sparring?
That’s what I was thinking.
“The response is not bad. But your actions after letting go of the opponent’s attack are slow.”
That didn’t mean I wanted to give up.
“Sometimes there are useless movements. Always act while imagining yourself as seen by others.”
There were so many things I could learn from my father’s trivial movements, and he pointed out my movements one by one during sparring.
“Can you do more?”
The sky was already black and the moon was floating.
Today, after dinner, when the sky started to turn twilight, we sparred, so I think we’ve been doing this for more than 4 hours no matter how short it is.
But.
“Of course you can.”
Still, I have to get up.
“Good.”
There is no time to rest.
Because for a brute like me to be among the geniuses, I have to work hard enough to vomit blood.
★
The main body of Avatar consists of 7 executives and 1 boss.
Among them, in the final episode of the original work, Sofia and Leon will face Rex, S, Ed, Cron, and Avatar, a total of 5 leaders.
And the official setting is that the other 3 officers were attacked by other knights from all over the empire.
However, there is a description that quite a lot of damage occurred because it was not easy to defeat the officer of Avatar with only knights without a holy sword.
Is there really a way to reduce this damage?
“… Gather your troops and strike them head-to-head?”
No, that’s impossible.
In the first place, Avatar’s officers, except for Ed, are basically people with skills comparable to those of senior knights and even special abilities.
It was obviously impossible for Leon to neutralize them at the same time, so it was clear that the damage would increase the moment they engaged in a head-to-head match.
As in the original work, there are around 20 supporters who can fight together on the front line.
That was appropriate.
“As expected, is there no answer other than individual breaking?”
Sophia and Leon will deal with all 8 people.
It’s a way to go round, but a way to minimize damage.
If there are any downsides.
“You don’t know who the other three are.”
Three people whose names and abilities have not been revealed even in the settings that the writer solved.
I wasn’t sure if fighting them would be a good idea.
I didn’t think I would lose because I knew that I could defeat it even without a holy sword, but I couldn’t help but feel anxious.
As long as I can block those abilities, I think I can do anything.
“… Wait for a sec.”
At least one, no. Two of them had a way.
In the first place, wasn’t I the one who saw it right in front of me?
Why did I forget about this until now?
Realizing that, I immediately sent her a letter.
It contains the content of asking if we can meet as soon as possible.
★
“Did we meet again sooner than expected?”
“It’s an important agenda.”
“I was lucky. I stopped by Arcana just in time for the letter to arrive. If I was late by a day, I would have had to wait at least a few more weeks.”
“That’s a relief.”
Charlotte shrugged his shoulders as she sipped her tea.
The place where we are now sitting is the drawing room of the mansion.
“Are you training hard? You look much better than the last time I saw you.”
“Because all I can do right now is work hard.”
“Yes, yes.”
After briefly greeting each other, we settled down and moved on to the main topic.
“If you contacted me this time, does that mean that all of their information is ready?”
“There is that part, but I want to ask you one thing first.”
“What is it?”
“Can’t teleportation magic move people?”
“Yes. Because teleportation is the magic of the theory that uses mana to create a single path. And when you build the road, you have to scan the target once to get an estimate, but the flow of magic that is created at that time somehow puts too much pressure on the magic furnace. That’s why it’s not attribute magic, but it’s the only magic that brings a runaway of magic.”
As Charlotte said.
So, the targets of teleportation magic are inanimate objects and general animals and plants that do not have a magical path.
But there was an exception here.
A being that can be the target of teleportation even though it has a magic furnace just like humans.
“But some monsters use teleportation magic.”
“But that’s different from the teleportation we use, from the basic principle. It’s a form of creating a path by synchronizing the mana of the atmosphere with the body.”
Of course, as Charlotte said, the basic rules are different, and above all, such monsters are at least B-class, so the number of objects is very small.
But.
“Anyway, while the magic furnace exists, being able to teleport doesn’t change.”
“Isn’t that right?”
“And the Avatar executive who attacked us this time, Es Cruel also uses teleportation.”
“… !”
Charlotte opened her eyes and looked at me, as if she understood my meaning.
“Does that make sense?”
I expressed my doubts.
As expected, he is quick-witted.
“The way humans and monsters use magic is fundamentally different. Humans automatically produce magical energy from their bodies, but demonic beasts absorb and use atmospheric magical energy. That’s why the Witchbeast can synchronize its body with the magical power of the atmosphere.”
“However, Dean Ender said that when dealing with her, it is the same teleportation that her beasts use.”
Apparently, while she said that, she had a history of fatally wounding her after Es blocked her teleportation.
“Then, is the organization called Avatar actually a gathering of witches?”
“It might be similar.”
“What?”
“Since you asked for information, I will tell you one thing in advance.”
I thought wrong from the beginning.
I relied too much on the knowledge of the original work.
What you need to fight Avatar is Leon’s holy sword.
She believed it to be absolute.
“All of the Avatar executives to be defeated have special abilities.”
Rex’s ultra-fast regeneration.
Es Cruel’s teleportation.
Ed Cruel’s Demon Beast Control.
Cron Illusin’s body transformation, etc.
All of their abilities are not those of ordinary humans.
Rather, it resembles witches.
No, it’s literally the same.
The reason.
“They are demons who have been implanted with the blood and magic path of demon beasts.”
★
“What happened to S’s wound?”
Rex lowered her head in response to the man’s question.
“Refined magic and the magic of the 4 attributes are stirring the entire arm, including the magic furnace. Even after removing all of the inner magic, I think I’ll have to wait for natural healing.”
“How long?”
“Ed said it would take at least half a year.”
“Tsk.”
The man couldn’t help but click his tongue at Rex’s answer.
What is the reason you got this power early even though you were overdoing it?
It was to achieve the goal by striking out faster than the opponent expected.
However, since the power of Avatar is a small number of elites, a problem arises when the power of the Avatar breaks away.
Especially if it’s S, who is the only one in Avatar who evaluates to be on the same level as Rex.
“Are you the man who was evaluated as the pillar of Arcana?”
According to an objective evaluation, only three people in the Empire can face Rex alone.
The Archmage, Ender Arcana.
Imperial sword, Ados Axus.
Sage, Charlotte Isolde.
Originally, Avatar’s plan was to make those three unable to participate in the battlefield and then assassinate them when everything was over.
Of course, if you fight alone, Rex will win in the end.
However, it was clear to Avatar, who was basically lacking in power numbers, that the worst situation would flow just by those three participating in the battlefield.
“It is a good achievement to be able to completely eliminate dangerous variables, but I can’t say that it is a good situation either.”
Since it was an opponent whose basic rule was to exclude him from the battlefield in the first place, the man’s judgment was that leaving S would be more damaging.
Especially because it’s a situation where you can’t go out on your own.
“Please finish S’s treatment as soon as possible. Half a year is too long. It should be finished within three months.”
“Your Highness. That’s too much….”
“You have to overdo it. Now we are in that situation.”
The man was convinced that there would be no hope for Avatar if he continued like this.
Rex and other executives reacted to the news that Ender Arcana had died, but the man couldn’t think that way.
Because what I had to deal with this time was ‘him’, not anyone else.
Even if it is Ender Arcana, Addos Axus, Charlotte Isolde.
Even if all three of them died, the man expected that if he was alive, there would be no future for Avatar.
“… All right. I will tell Ed that.”
“Yes. Thanks.”
Rex said that, lowered his head, and left the room.
“Whoa.”
A sigh came naturally from the man’s mouth.
“… I’m sure you guys are just like me.”
The man muttered that the current situation could not be explained otherwise, and rose from his throne.
