573 – 7. Jealousy is my strength (73)
Actually, Shien didn’t face the enemy alone from the beginning.
Of the party, the one who could be said to be the weakest in name and reality was the princess. Neither the Archwitch nor Elsie expected Shien to play an active role in battle.
She just hoped that she could borrow the ‘dragon’s eye’ to explore the core of the barrier.
However, the world does not flow as we wish. Just as a waterway splits when it collides with a rock, sometimes it is bound to encounter unpredictable variables.
For example, an unknown person who suddenly attacked you while you were walking down the street.
I was just in the middle of looking for a place where the core of the barrier might be located. As we headed towards the southern forest, where the core had been discovered before, a silver gale rushed.
It was a surprise attack without noise or warning. Rather, it is a covert attack that fits the expression of a formless wind rushing.
The first person to notice this was, of course, the Archwitch.
“Get down!”
It was an unexpected order.
An unskilled soldier might have hesitated for a moment, but those who are with us have experienced real battles.
Even the most immature princess had the experience of crossing the dead line in the north. It didn’t take long for the two girls to follow their survival instinct and lay flat.
Really immediately.
At the same time, a geometric figure was drawn in the air, and something striking the translucent membrane caused a heavy noise.
Boom!
The crash was quick and intense.
The bursting shockwave created a gust of wind that swept around randomly. The princess, lying flat on her face, almost screamed at the pouring dust.
Above all, fragments of light that scatter like powder.
Surprisingly, it meant that the mysterious collider dealt a valid blow to the Archwitch’s magic.
No matter how much he couldn’t use his body’s strength, he didn’t have time to sing, but he was a master.
I had to consider that beings who could even incontinence from that magic were extremely rare. And one of them has just run over the group.
The woman’s feet, which spun several times in the air, lightly stepped on the ground.
A calm landing, as if it had no mass.
The woman who left such a strong first impression of her was unexpectedly pale. Enough that she reminds me of a seriously ill sick person.
“Goodbye after a long time, sister.”
Are you in your early to mid twenties at most?
As soon as the princess glanced at that face, she had no choice but to narrow her eyebrows. Even though it is clear that it is her first meeting, it feels like she has seen it somewhere.
Someone’s face shimmered as if it could be grabbed.
On the other hand, the Archwitch and Elsie’s reaction was simple. The archwitch covered her face to see if she knew her and let out a deep sigh, and Elsie, as usual, let out her anger by clenching her fists.
“No, who are you, how dare you call our master…… !”
“I’ve never had a younger brother like you.”
Even that was stopped by the high witch’s voice mixed with sighs.
Sensing that something was going on inside, Elsie glanced at her and hesitated, fixing her cone-shaped hat. The hat was slightly crooked from being in a hurry.
A new magic circle formed in the archwitch’s hand.
I will say hello first, but it must be a sign that I have absolutely no intention of having a long conversation.
She said “I heard she ran away, did she come back?”
“There was a time when I had love fever. Because of that, she had to leave her big sister’s arms for a while… You can’t miss a good opportunity like this, can you?”
It was the first family story everyone had ever heard of.
However, while the princess was contemplating the identity of the new woman, she realized one fact. The fact that the opponent’s strength is not even comparable to that of other blood relatives.
Her presence alone made her breathless.
Even if it wasn’t so, it was a blazing hot day. In addition to the heat of the heated dirt road, the pressure that only a strong person could exude pressed on the princess’ lungs.
However, as she distorted like a haze, she even had a rising shape.
As her vision melted away from overbreathing, the princess suddenly opened her eyes at the figure that came to her mind.
They look so similar.
With her senior, ‘Seria Yurdina’, whom she knew well.
Whether or not, the conversation between the Archwitch and the woman continued.
With the cold smile of a woman.
“The head of the enemy who imprisoned us in the sweltering forest is about to be bitten off.”
“Today must really come to an end… ….”
Saying that, the archwitch quietly raised her index finger. Her fingers, which were aimed at the silver-haired woman, were thin, but the density of her magical power at the tip was far from frail.
If you don’t avoid it, you will die.
A vivid sensation like this flowed down the back of the princess, but the woman who faced it was extremely calm.
“Oh, sister, are you going to deal with it yourself?”
“My kids have other things to do.”
And while doing so, the archwitch glanced at Elsie.
It wasn’t Elsie who couldn’t notice the meaning. She immediately got her body up and ran to the princess’s side. It was only a few steps anyway.
It didn’t take long for the girl’s whisper to reach the ears of the bewildered princess.
“Wake up, we will find the core of the barrier.”
“Ha, but he… You look so much like Yurdina-senpai…….”
“Does it matter now?”
The princess had no words to answer that annoying question.
I just hesitantly stood up.
Elsie was right. Now, it was the yard ahead of the battle that might decide the future of the academy and furthermore, the continent.
It was only right to ignore trivial issues.
Because the torrent of events that began to flow was too strong to point out the facts that bothered me one by one.
There was plenty of evidence to back this up.
Isn’t that the case even now?
Bang.
With the explosion, the blood-colored light shatters the archwitch’s magic circle.
It was a blow whose origin was unknown, but its power was truly terrifying. The aftermath of her collision was enough to the extent that the princess’s body, which had managed to raise her body, fell over again.
The princess, who once again buried her head on the dirt floor, lost her mind at all. She didn’t know what the hell was going on, or why the silver-haired woman didn’t do anything, but she didn’t know why the blood-colored beam appeared.
Only the jumbled shouts conveyed the full story of the incident.
“Vampire?! Master, follow me immediately!”
“But then, that child… ….”
“I am in charge… No, this crazy b*tch is real?!”
Shouts, explosions, and glimpses of shadows through the dust.
The shadow presumed to be the Archwitch hurriedly runs somewhere. The shadow wearing the cone hat was flying as if it were entangled with the shadow of the woman who had suddenly rushed into it.
In the past, only the princess was left.
The princess, left alone in an instant, shuddered. Although she had her hands-on experience in the North, she was still a young chick. Even with this sudden development, it was difficult for her to keep her composure.
There is not even a ‘Kyung Lee’ here.
Caught in a lot of dust, Shien shivered and thought.
‘Should I go back now?’
I don’t think it will help anyway.
I thought I was stubborn because I wanted to help Ian. It was only like this that, let alone help, it would be fortunate if it did not cause any inconvenience.
However, Shien’s worries did not extend beyond that.
Buck and go.
The quiet footsteps pounded on Shien’s heart like thunder. In the corner of her startled vision, her familiar silver hair was dancing.
There was no hesitation in the girl’s gait. The princess already knew the name of that woman who left footprints in a straight line leading to her princess.
Seria Yurdina.
It was a colleague who had now become an enemy.
This was the whole story.
And now, the princess was running through the overgrown forest.
From noble mtl dot com
Boom, kwakwang!
“Kyaaa!”
With an explosion, a mound of dirt scatters.
A purple aura soaring as tall as a giant tree beats the ground like a whip. Then the earth exploded, the trees were uprooted, and the unfortunate girl’s screams grew louder and louder.
Falling trees scattered dust along with fibrous debris.
A single blow.
She was Seria, who was as impeccable as her swordsmanship. Now that she has awakened the blood of a vampire and has even equipped her breasts, although her skills have become less sophisticated, her output multiplied several times more than offsets all those shortcomings.
Who would believe that a sword could create such horrors?
Rather, it was more believable to hear that several skilled wizards had poured intensive fire on them. As much as that, the multi-meter aura that bombarded the forest without rest was overwhelming, and even took away the will to resist.
Even the princess was a wizard.
I don’t know if there is a reliable avant-garde, but in a one-on-one match with the swordsman, I had no choice but to be at an absolute disadvantage. She doesn’t even give me time to sing, but the counterattack was nonsense.
So she had no choice but to run away until her feet were sweaty.
Rather, it was a miracle that she had been able to evade the swordsman so far. If Seria hadn’t lost the same level of skill she had before because of her runaway, Shien would have already become a lump of meat and spread out on the ground.
Even in the midst of that, Seria didn’t stop talking to Shien about her.
“Why are you running away, Her Highness the Princess!”
“Please put down that sword first and tell me!”
“Blood, blood, blood… You just need to share a little blood, eh!”
And one island.
The world is divided.
