Episode 19. Operation to exterminate knapul (7)
“It seems that this is a city in the viscount territory.”
Iris said looking up at the city walls. It was already night when she arrived at the Viscounty.
Perhaps it’s because some time has passed since the death of the Marquis, Ariel heard that we became the official wanted criminals of the Aium Kingdom, and that the imperial envoys are currently imprisoned.
Thanks to Naiad over here, I was able to keep in touch without having to use the forwarding scroll. As the situation was, Naiad decided to help us too.
“Go straight to the viscount’s house.”
With that being said, the entrance was guarded by knights. As long as he became a wanted criminal, he couldn’t go through the entrance normally, so he had to choose the next best thing.
That was jumping over the wall.
But my body was weak. No matter how much I jumped, 1 meter was the limit. If you possessed Phasma, you could jump a little higher, but it was impossible to jump over the wall.
“Are you jumping up? If it is this high, I think I can go up in one room.”
“…… Iris, I have something to tell you.”
As I watched Iris strike a pose, I quietly got lucky.
* * *
“hehehe… hehehehe!”
“Don’t laugh.”
Iris rocked her body with her hand on the crook of my leg.
“Ha, but what if it makes me laugh out loud!”
…… Do you also look like Tina?

It was very embarrassing to see him smirking as he turned his head toward me. Are you sure you were the one who was very depressed just a moment ago?
Iris put her chin on Iris’s shoulder, feeling her ears heat up for no reason.
“Shut up and climb quickly.”
I’ll tell you in advance because there’s going to be a misunderstanding.
I told Iris to carry me on my back, judging that my body wouldn’t be able to jump over the wall, let alone hang on to it.
It was never intentional.
“This is unavoidable! I can’t help but smile when I think of Master sitting on my back!”
I didn’t ask.
“Does Master think so too?”
Don’t ask me for sympathy…….
“But Master, you can’t climb this wall?”
“I can’t climb.”
“Why?”
‘Because I’m weak.’
“I cannot climb a high wall in one go. But you can climb in one go. I just decided that asking you would be more efficient.”
Why do you say “Weak” For so long?
“Is that so!”
It’s a bright face. It’s like saying I’m weak, so I might be disappointed, but the reaction was that it was good. Do you feel bad about something?
“Whoops, I will help Master!”
In the end, I entrusted myself to Iris.
With the sound of her clatter, a crack formed around the ground she was standing on, like her web, and her dirt rose up.
She kicks off the ground and climbs up.
“I have arrived.”
I reached the top of the castle in an instant.
[Prause, it’s a bit like being carried on the back of a little girl… It’s ugly.]
“… Shut up. Neither do I.”
I climbed down Iris’ back, covering her heated ears.
“Please carry me next time!”
“…… Done.”
How much do you plan to play numerically?
“Let’s go to the viscount house quickly.”
“Yes.”
Coming to think of it, shouldn’t you also have to be carried on your back when going down from the wall?
Damn it.
* * *
“Are you here?”
“Right.”
Maria answered as she landed on the roof where Tina was standing.
Maria was currently borrowing Orient’s eyes. She shared her senses, empowering her to perceive Magi much better than before.
Accurately capturing the subtle magic felt inside the county’s building, Maria prepared her barrier.
“This time, I’ll put up a barrier to make sure they don’t run away.”
“Isn’t it enough if you don’t even give me a chance to escape?”
Tina said as she put on her hood.
“To cut down the entire building?”
“Other people could die. They’re going to die anyway, but we don’t have to deal with them.”
“Then how?”
“You just have to move faster than that demon.”
It was a simple idea like Tina, but Maria subconsciously understood it. Because she knew very well that she had the power to make the absurd come true.
Mana begins to leak from Tina, who pulls out both ends of her manmul. The mana that leaked out of her soon covered both ends of her creature, and aura created her sword.
Seeing her aura much clearer than before, Maria noticed that Tina had grown again.
“Close the barrier. Just in case.”
“You… Are you angry?”
Maria asked Tina with a stronger accent than usual.
“Um…… Little? Because Iris is the first friend I made since I was born. Can’t stand her friend being bullied. Ah, but you are my second friend? Aren’t you sad?”
“Why are you upset about that… ….”
“Okay then. hehehe.”
A short laugh came from inside the invisible hood, as if a black curtain had been drawn.
At the enmity that leaked through the hooded T-shirt, Maria spread a wind-attribute barrier over the entire county.
It was an 8th level barrier that the Spirit King could install. Not to mention the Magic Guildmaster, it was absolutely impenetrable to most demons.
“If it wasn’t for the city, I would have imprisoned it in a barrier and fired magic at it.”
Maria said, biting her tongue.
“I’ll take it out. Prepare the binding magic.”
“Okay. It is located in the basement of the largest building.”
“Yes.”
After answering that, Tina stepped lightly on the ground. With the sound of cutting the wind, she stormed into the Count’s house in an instant.
Quang!
Tina, who broke down the door of the Count’s mansion and entered, frowned at the unpleasant scent of Magi.
‘You mean the basement?’
Tina raised her sword high.
“「Nakhwa」!”
Kwaaang!
Once again, an explosion.
The entire building shook from the impact that pierced the entire basement at once, and knights from the outside and servants from the inside of the building began to bounce around the noise one by one.
“What are you? At some point…… !”
Kyo-Kyo, who has come out of the dust, is shocked to see Tina who has intruded.
“I will become the disciple who came to kill you.”
Tina, moving without a sound, closes the distance with her Kyoko.
‘This bastard, isn’t he much faster than the beastman I saw during the day?!’
Boom!
I aim for Kyokyo’s neck and swing her sword, but I manage to avoid it by twisting her neck. But she couldn’t escape completely. Bleeding broke out in Kyokyo’s throat.
Due to Tina’s sudden surprise, Kyo-Kyo, who failed to cope with her, hurriedly steps outside the Count’s house. Then chains fell from the sky.
Kwakkwakkwakkwa!
“Don’t avoid it, you trash.”
Maria escaped from the knights in her count’s house and poured her chain, but Kyokyo avoided it by protecting herself with her magic.
“「Entwined Chains」.”
A restraining magic that activates again.
Kyokyo hesitates at Maria’s momentum.
‘This is the disciple of the warriors? Damn! If things go on like this, the plan that Habito-sama had in mind…… !’
First of all, with the idea of avoiding the body, Kyokyo quickly flew up, but was blocked by the barrier set by Maria. She knew that a barrier had been erected around the Count’s house, but she forgot to avoid Tina’s attack.
“Damn it!”
The unexpected barrier was released right away, but there was no way Tina couldn’t close the gap.
“On the subject of garbage. Run away again?”
“Sheesh! 「Magical Condensation」.”
Putting the accumulated magic on top of Tina’s sword blade, it distorts her trajectory.
Pang!
The Magi and the Aura push each other and rebel against each other.
“…… !”
‘Did you deflect the aura?’
Tina, who was thrown out, grabbed hold of the two ends that she almost missed. She’s apart anyway, but it’s attached, but it didn’t matter to her. Because.
“If you can see it, you can cut it.”
Wields a sword in the air.
“「The End of Everything」.”
If there was a target in the path of the sword, no matter how powerful the demons were, her sword could not be blocked.
Kyo-Kyo, cut exactly from her chest to her side, was cut in half. Splattered with her blood and organs, Kyo-Kyo plummeted to the ground, giving her no chance to resist.
“Okay, got it.”
Approaching Kyokyo’s sprawled corpse, Tina removes her mask. Her features exist beneath her mask, but her skin is completely ruined by something like a burn.
“Did you think I would die this easily?”
Her upturned pupils returned and her body began to glow black. Tina hastily picks up Kyokyo’s head and spurts her to the ground, but she is too late.
“[Magi Explosion]!”
Kwaaang!
* * *
“Damn it, I have to hurry up and replenish my demon energy and report it to Habito-sama.”
‘I have to let them know that these guys are formidable enough to go ahead with the plan…… !’
Kyokyo grabbed her by the sides, recalling that her main body would have been cut in half if she had been too late to release her barrier. Blood was leaking from her body. Because she was cut by an aura, it was not easy for her to recover.
She was the one who saved her life thanks to having her coordinates set so she could teleport in case of danger, but she was still in danger.
“Damn it, but how did the apprentices of that hero know I was hiding in the Count’s house?”
As she muttered and tried to raise her body, the demonic energy leaking out of her body suddenly disappeared.
“What is it, suddenly Maggie…… !”
Iris appeared in the dark, wagging her white hair and tail.
“I was waiting for you.”
“What… ! How did you get here?!”
“You won’t be able to escape this time.”
The beast’s eyes flashed in the dark, and at the same time her sword swung toward Kyokyo’s neck.
“What—”
Suddenly!
A fountain of blood gushed from her throat, which had been cut so lightly that she was limp.
“I almost got hated by Master because of you.”
“Uh, why is my Maggie…….”

Kyokyo looked at the pure white sword embedded in her floor just before her life ended.
“Thanks to the sword that protects the sanctuary.”
Prause walked out of the darkness and said.
The second function of the absolute realm, a skill possessed by the guardians of the sanctuary.
It was to dissipate all demonic energy within a certain range when the sword touched the ground.
“Go away, Kyo-Kyo.”
Wow!
Without a word, Iris stepped on Kyokyo’s head and blew it off.
