175 – Do you still think of yourself as a princess?
The girl blood demon’s throat began to boil.
The sight of a headless body slowly being restored to its original state was not a pleasant sight to see.
“….”
Flan lifted her spirits without saying a word.
She drew on Hera’s energy and began designing in her mind. How many times will she have to repeat a certain task to put her opponent’s breath away? She guessed it.
Soon the procedure was completed.
By the time Flann sheepishly pushed up her eyelids, across from her was a girl, Hyeogwi, who had already restored her hair.
However, because it was a high-level magic, there were restrictions on its activation. This magic circle would only be effective if the girl blood demon first manifested magic.
It is convenient to think of it as a kind of counterattack magic.
“It’s simple. Is this the end? Human.”
The girl blood demon put a sneer on her lips and her eyes lit up. She started bleeding in the air. It was a characteristic of black magic that used life force as a medium.
“It’s a simple attack.”
Flann nodded her head.
It is true that it is simple, but simplicity is not a disadvantage.
He also understood how to subdue such an arrogant blood demon. Even from the previous world.
“You refluxed my blood the other day, right? It was fun. I hope you get it too this time…. How is it?”
Hwareuk─!
The blood of the blood demon burns and a magic circle appears. Thanks to that, Plan’s magic also met the conditions for activation.
The six-mangseong star glowed blue on the ground where the girl blood demon was standing. A speed that no one would be able to recognize the beginning.
There was no need for Plan to intervene. The counterattack’s magic circle was implemented strictly according to the blueprint.
For a moment, it seemed as if the world had stopped, and the blue cylinder rose upward without knowing the end.
Quaaa—!
The blood demon’s body floats in the air and is cut down.
Inside the blue cylinder, there are countless magic blades. One of them cut off his head again. It doesn’t stop there, it cuts the center of the body vertically.
Once, again, once again.
Precise cutting is repeated in a similar manner. The stomach is split horizontally into the upper and lower body, and even the organs that are flying are chopped up like food.
Wrists, ankles, fingers…. Soon, even the terminal nodes are cut in detail. The cutting speed is far ahead of the speed of recognizing something.
“What….”
The girl blood demon muttered with her severed head. She was helpless inside the endlessly rising cylinder, and her body was suffering endlessly.
Kwadeuk─!
However, Plan did not even allow observation. The magic blade shattered the girl’s brain and exploded her eyeballs.
It was around that time that Flann opened her mouth.
“I would have definitely mentioned it.”
From noble mtl dot com
She said simple things and never told a lie.
“I will kill her.”
The girl blood demon tried to manifest “Rebirth”, But then Plan’s magic also manifested. The blue cylinder rose again and cut down countless girl blood demons.
The elves, who had not yet completely left their place, were mesmerized by the sight.
◈
Aurora was still suffering from the sensation of a foreign body.
This was true even though the situation of the war slowly changed in our favor.
Court wizards and imperial wizards were by no means incompetent. They immediately formed a solid phalanx to deal with the blood demons and successfully protected Aurora.
It was an opportunity to feel that the members of the imperial family had not received wasted training. If not, he would have given his head to the blood demons by now.
Of course, I still couldn’t feel at ease. Unless you can escape this dark red barrier, you won’t be able to be sure of your safety. Aurora let out her sigh out of habit.
“Huh….”
It was strange.
This was especially true for the monster called ‘Blood Dog’. A being created by embodying invisible fear.
Because it was a monster created through abstract senses, it was impossible to observe the future of the blood dog. And of course, that gave Aurora a foreign feeling.
Compassion and confidence come from ‘knowledge’.
In other words, information is ‘power.’ Data collected through observation and measurement naturally increases the status of the person who possesses it. It’s bound to turn the situation to your advantage.
But Aurora is currently unable to use her power.
Even though the battle situation seemed to be in her favor, Aurora could not help but feel her anxiety. She had lived her life comparing answers all the time, but now her answer sheet had disappeared.
“….”
Aurora obsessively examined each person’s face.
I can see the future. It’s not visible. See. Can’t see…. She was on the verge of going crazy.
Humans have become unable to observe the future due to their entanglement with Plan, and they cannot even look into the future of blood demons who do not have common sense. Aside from her imperial lineage, she had nothing left to herself.
Perhaps recognizing Aurora’s embarrassment as she broke out in a cold sweat, her escort knight Ban interrupted her with her cautious manner.
“Princess, are you okay?”
Because her voice was not small, the voices of the palace wizards and even the soldiers reached Aurora.
How Aurora felt was her entire concern here. Because they had to follow the princess’s orders in one way or another.
Aurora calmly took a deep breath.
If she shows herself weak, her confusion will be doubled. She will also be belittled. So even in extreme situations, she should never lose her dignity.
“… “Are you asking the obvious?”
Of course, even after hearing that answer, everyone carefully looked at Aurora. This was because, unlike usual, she did not look well at all as she was sweating profusely.
But there was no one who dared ask her back out loud. She said that if Aurora was like that, she had to move on.
Half of the escort knights opened her mouth.
“The surroundings seem to have been cleaned up. “The barrier is being deciphered, and I think it would be okay if you gave me additional instructions.”
Aurora was worried for a moment.
The dark red barrier was the size of the academy’s stadium and confined only the members of the imperial family.
She didn’t really have anything additional to order, and looking at everyone’s tired looks, it seemed like even if she did give something, it wouldn’t be effective.
Finally, Aurora nodded her head.
“Take a break. “When the barrier is lifted, it moves again.”
I also chose the safest move. Her headache hadn’t subsided, so she actually wanted to get some rest from Aurora.
Sounds of relieved breathing came from all over the place.
Blood dogs were monsters that were beyond common sense. No matter how many imperial figures they were, they couldn’t help but feel out of breath as they faced the ever-increasing numbers.
That’s when everyone started focusing on rest.
“Wow… !”
I heard someone’s breathing stop.
Aurora did not attach much significance to the sound. It must have been someone who was very tired and was drinking water when he heard a problem.
Oh my!
But the sound I heard next was something I couldn’t ignore. This was because it was a cool sensation that made my instincts ring an alarm, and the sound of my body being cut by a blade.
Everyone’s eyes turned to the source of the sound.
And for a moment, he made a stupid expression.
“….”
A trustworthy knight with bangs covering his eyes.
Aurora’s guard knight, Ban, had cut off the head of one of the soldiers. Aurora had to blink a few times at the unrealistic sight.
Drop─ Drop─
Drops of blood fall from the tip of the blade held by Ban.
“Half?”
Aurora narrowed her eyes and called the knight’s name.
Among the soldiers here, there was no one who had not gone through training with Ban. So the shock was enormous. Because there were people who were more loyal to Aurora than anyone else.
“….”
Ban just quietly adjusted his sword.
Those eyes were no longer human.
It seemed that Aurora was not the only one who felt her inexplicable coolness. One of the court wizards shouted urgently.
“Attack! Right Now!”
However, despite the shouts, many people were still frozen. The court wizard quickly created a magic bullet and fired it.
However, Ban avoided it with just her movements. She cut down the wizard, his sword dancing like water.
And at the same time, everyone felt a sense of discomfort.
“… !”
When you swing your sword, a red afterimage remains. It was clearly an aftereffect of the ‘life force’ possessed by blood demons.
The question of why on earth an afterimage of Ban’s vitality remained was passing through her mind. Ban’s body and sword moved quickly several times.
“Whoop, whoop!”
“aaah!”
Soldiers who have cut vital points fall like straw. What unfolded before my eyes was a cruel and one-sided massacre.
“Counterattack!”
The well-equipped palace wizards quickly responded by firing magic. Each of the magic bullets that were elaborately crafted from mana was like a beam of light.
But half destroyed it.
When he swung his sword, the wrists of the court wizards were separated from their bodies at once. It was only a beat later that blood and flesh splattered everywhere.
“Live, save… !”
“Ugh!”
Similar screams were repeated, and the imperial figures fell one by one. There was no hesitation or guilt on Ban’s face as he murdered his comrades.
He was as calm as cutting down a training scarecrow.
Finally, when only Ban and Aurora were left.
Aurora asked with a confused look on her face.
“Half…. What are you doing now….”
It didn’t take much time for Aurora’s breathing to become rough. Even though she couldn’t see Ban’s future, she felt an infinite sense of ominousness right now.
“What is this? You must be….”
“You are certain.”
The class burst into laughter, making a snickering sound.
“Humans really like that word. You must be, you must be…. “That’s what happens when you think you know the other person.”
The guard knight’s eyes turned to Aurora.
“Blood… ear… ?”
Goosebumps ran down Aurora’s back. There was nothing like this in the future she had ever seen. Now she didn’t know how much to trust.
Ban took a step towards Aurora.
Aurora took a step behind her.
The two repeated that, and at some point, Aurora’s back touched the dark red barrier. Now there was nowhere to retreat.
Aurora muttered.
“Half…. “Don’t come any closer.”
“Second princess, Aurora.”
The guard knight stretched out his palm and swept his face from left to right. Then half of her face disappeared, leaving behind a ghost wearing her mask.
“Do you still see me as your escort knight?”
A future she had never seen, a reality that Aurora could not understand at all, was currently unfolding before her eyes.
A sound of laughter was heard from behind the mask.
“Also, do you still think of yourself as a princess?”
the end somewhat nice, too bad we still need the money bag
