After receiving Rient’s report, I immediately went outside.
‘Have reinforcements already arrived? It’s too fast… … ‘
Various miscellaneous possibilities came to mind, but I didn’t think too much.
Because the important thing now was to respond to the situation.
That’s how I came out and confirmed the enemy’s reinforcements with my own eyes.
There was an army of about a thousand men there.
Seeing them, I was slightly relieved and said,
“… … Thankfully, you’re not from the main Allied Forces.”
Alan asked.
“How do you know?”
“I have a familiar face.”
That was what he said when he saw the woman with purple hair in the lead.
“Have you heard of Sai Yorgil?”
“Yes, definitely the next head of household… … .”
“Yes, she is the only daughter of Daid.”
The day I died in my previous life, Sai Yorgil, the representative of the Yorgil family, was present at the scene.
She didn’t fight this war and was staying at her home.
If they had come, it would have been understandable that reinforcements had arrived at this time.
“As Rient feared, it seems that the allied forces are preparing for an invasion of Mayfield.”
“It sounds like you brought only the remaining troops from the main family.”
“It is very likely.”
As Alan speculated, Sai Yorgil pulled out the power of what was left of his family.
I had heard the news that some of the marching troops would be returned to Mayfield, so I moved ahead of time.
She frowned at the current situation, when their fortress was about to fall.
“Sai, this is… … .”
“… … Did your father’s concerns really become a reality?”
Although Mayfield’s situation could not be seen in detail from where she was.
It was to the extent that they could not send a rescue signal and were captured, so it was clear that the enemy’s strength and number were not small.
“Sai, we have to go back right now.”
“Navaletta’s reinforcements will arrive here in a few hours.”
“… … .”
Sai made a complicated expression.
I agree with what my aides said, but I was reluctant to just step down like this.
You’re being invaded right in front of your eyes, so you’re retreating like this?
“Sai.”
“… … Know.”
But she didn’t let that emotion out.
Because it is impossible to defeat a force capable of capturing Mayfield with only a thousand men.
“For now, back off like this… … ?”
While I was about to give instructions, I doubted my eyes.
It was because an army that seemed to be about half of them was running towards this place.
“From the looks of it, it seems that the author is the second prince.”
“… … Does that mean they are the second prince’s personal guard?”
“Yes, Mr. Sai.”
She quickly observed her surroundings, estimating her enemies.
There was no possibility of a trap or ambush in this open space.
“… … As reported, the highest strength of the SS is nowhere to be seen.”
Among them, I could feel the strong 7 stars quite a bit.
However, it wasn’t to the extent that she couldn’t handle it with the troops led by her current 7-star superior.
“Everyone, prepare to intercept the oncoming enemy.”
“Sai!”
“Calmly judge. We have the advantage in this situation.”
I know that the power of the SS forces coming in is not formidable.
However, if only they could subdue the troops of the family he had led, that was not the case.
“And apparently there’s a 7-star intermediate there, but nothing above advanced.”
“It is, but… … .”
“If additional forces come, then retreat quickly. Are you okay?”
“… … Yes, Mr. Sai.”
In response, Yorgil’s reinforcements prepared to counterattack all at once.
Seeing that, I raised my eyebrows.
‘Okay, I’ve been caught.’
In fact, even if you say it was tricked, what did you do?
Because the power I felt on the outside was superior to that side.
For those who lacked information on this side, it was rather close to a rational decision.
“Rient, Hargalte. I will entrust the command to you two.”
“… … Your Highness, that means.”
“Yes, it means that I will fight Sai Yorgil one-on-one.”
There was a bit of tension on both of their faces.
The enemy is a whopping 7-star advanced level.
Besides, according to the information, the next family head currently has Yorgil’s heirloom… … .
“If I win, the gains are enormous.”
You can turn the situation to your advantage by capturing the next family head.
Heirloom S-class artifacts will roll in as a bonus.
“Considering my level, Sai Yorgil will definitely come.”
On the other side, there was no reason to avoid my provocation.
It was because there was a big gap in the realm, and this war itself could have easily ended if you caught me.
“Your Highness, no matter how reckless this is.”
“Yes, even normal pressure is enough to raise your criminal record.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll do my best.”
“… … !”
“That means… … .”
“Then I will not object.”
It was Alan who intervened as if to persuade them.
“I’m sure you’re going to win, so that’s the decision you’ve made. Yes?”
“Yes, as Alan said.”
“In the first place, even among the SS, there are few people stronger than Her Majesty who has done his best.”
What Alan said was true.
I hadn’t reached the 7-star Intermediate level yet, but my strength had already surpassed that level.
Darkness of Skadi, my pure magical prowess.
And the forces in the heavenly spirit made this possible.
‘Because the great families also recognized this potential and participated in the sword’s plan.’
It was a future that didn’t happen.
If I had grown up and reached the lower 8 stars, there would have been no enemies in the same realm.
Being able to handle spirits and magic together was a huge strength.
“So I trust Your Highness’ judgment, and I’m just assisting.”
“… … I will follow Your Highness’ orders.”
“That’s a good answer. The level of the enemies is not easy, so everyone be careful.”
After that conversation, he proudly left the unit.
About 10 soldiers, including Alan, followed me.
At this, I felt Sai Yorgil’s gaze pierce me.
Koo-goo-goo-goo-goo!
In response, I radiated darkness as if to provoke her.
“Sai Yorgil, how about sticking with me instead of hiding?”
“… … cheeky.”
The Yorgils were known for being emotional compared to other great families.
He was kind to allies, including those of the same blood, and merciless to his enemies.
He must be angry at the death of his uncle Brood.
“Okay, I’ll kill you directly if you want. Follow me!”
Just like me, she gave command to her subordinates and rushed at me with only a dozen escorts.
Pod!
He spurred on his saddle and ran.
In response, the soldiers following me shot arrows.
Cheak-!
She cut it off so easily.
Not stopping at this, she continued to close the distance while maintaining that momentum.
The guards quickly cast magic to keep her in check.
“Assist Sai!”
“How dare you, the lower East Continent!”
Chew!
Yorgil’s forces followed and cut off the elemental magic that flew in.
The moment when you don’t stop at this, and drive the momentum.
Do-do-do-do-do!
I fired invisible bullets at them as if to show off.
Everyone was shocked and swung their swords as the magic suddenly appeared in front of them and was ejected.
Caang!
Their swordsmanship was unable to cut through my attacks.
“What… … !?”
Rather, I lost my balance due to being pushed by the power, but I did not miss that gap.
Do-do-do-do-do!
Right before they get hit by an invisible bullet fired in succession.
Cheer-la-la-!
Sai quickly intervened in the middle and cut off all my attacks.
Then she didn’t move any more, and glared at me without a word.
“… … 2 Prince, how can you use this?”
“The contracted spirit told me about it. What’s special about it?”
“… … .”
Sai didn’t say anything more.
At least it reminds me of my previous life… … .
‘As expected, it would be best to hide the telekinetic power until it is used.’
Those who followed in between were six-star, elite soldiers.
If you look at such people, invisible magic, which has less power than attribute magic, is powerfully eaten.
I felt that there was a big difference by the level.
“Are you not coming anymore? Sai Yorgil.”
“Heh, you speak well on the subject full of thoughts of running away in the saddle.”
“Ah, yes. Excuse me for this.”
percussion.
When I came down from the Bima as if to show off, Sai rather crumpled his expression.
It was like he had no idea what he was thinking.
In response, Yorgil’s soldier said.
“Sai, I advise you to step down. Something is also strange.”
“I am also of the same opinion, going to military battle… … .”
“As you have just been through, actually the author is strong.”
They didn’t respond to her words.
Although there was an unexpected attack called invisible magic.
Even if I knew it in advance, it was because I personally felt that it was quite threatening.
“Besides, the 2nd prince also uses darkness. It is a very annoying force in battle.”
“… … That is, yes.”
Those words were also used by other dark spirits, not me.
This is because the annoyance of darkness that spreads widely and erodes enemies was famous in many ways.
“And judging by the author’s attitude, he must be hiding something.”
“then… … .”
“But it doesn’t matter. 2 Even if the prince has an A-class artifact or something more.”
clap.
Sai continued, holding another sword in his hand as if showing off.
“I have heirlooms too. So either way, there is no factor for me to lose.”
“… … Yes, Mr. Sai.”
“I am not careless. So, you too, focus on your own battle.”
Having complied with Sai’s instructions, they moved separately and started a battle with my escorts.
Then, she and I confronted each other for a long time, glaring at each other in silence.
“I heard that you recently became a 7-star advanced, is that correct?”
“Yes.”
“Did you achieve that level with the help of the Resurrection Church?”
“… … No, I reached it alone.”
“Excuse me, I didn’t mean to insult you. Forgive me.”
“… … There wouldn’t be much point in talking about it any more.”
Pod!
In an instant, her figure disappeared.
So I quickly brought out the darkness.
Caan-!
A sharp crackling sound came from behind.
It was the materialized darkness that blocked her sword attack, which in an instant pierced behind me.
Caang, Caang, Caang, Caang!
Soon after, sword attacks flew from all sides.
It was a battle that happened at the same time.
She had slashed all the invisible magic that was mixed with the darkness.
“I wrote a memorized prayer.”
Kwaaang-!
As a result, an invisible barrier was created and exploded in all directions.
I blocked the thrown memorization with this.
Blasphemy!
As if aiming for this, Sai’s sword attack tore through the barrier so easily.
After spinning around and landing, she proudly stood in front of me.
Quaang!
Then I stepped on the advance.
Sai closed the distance in an instant and rushed at me, and I unfolded the darkness to respond.
The shadow with will swallowed her, and the crystal of darkness turned into a huge blade and tried to cut the enemy in two.
Chow!
In an instant, everything was cut off.
Not stopping there, she swung her sword without hesitation.
The look was truly gorgeous, yet fierce.
Quaaa!
To pressurize her, I shot a wide spread darkness.
It made me have no choice but to move a lot.
“… … !”
In an instant, goosebumps broke out all over his body.
In response, I quickly activated multiple layers of defense magic.
“The decisive battle, Meteor Gate.”
Cheer-la-la-!
The rebellion poured out.
She ran in a straight line, but the sword didn’t.
One slash continued in another direction, forming a form as if flowing down.
Quadruped!
The ensuing sword attack mercilessly broke the created barrier.
It flew unstoppably toward my neck.
I focused my mind on this, and sensed the attack that was about to reach the end.
‘… … Now!’
Parching-!
The veil of darkness that gathered in an instant blocked the sword attack between them.
I was pouring out all the darkness I could pour out at once by concentrating it on one point.
That was just enough to block her attack.
“That’s quite right, 2nd Prince.”
Kwaaang!
I widened the distance due to the invisible bombardment, took a breath, and stared at her.
“If you have a trump card, use it now. I’ll be sure to slit your throat next time.”
“It’s not like I’m hiding it on purpose, because several conditions have to be met in order to use it.”
“… … condition?”
“I need to figure out the approximate mobility of the enemy.”
I looked around for a while.
The soldiers on both sides seemed to have no energy to care about this side because they were fighting each other.
Thanks to this, no one was fooling around between Sai Yorgil and me.
“All the conditions are in place, so I’ll show you now.”
Keying –
He spread his magic widely.
At the same time, the mana of blue color soared.
Feeling a visceral sense of uneasiness, she leaped quickly.
“late.”
rumble.
At that moment, an indigo barrier was created that covered the entire area.
In response, Sai was wary of the surroundings and looked around.
I said to her with a slight smile.
“I’ll show you my second transcendence magic, Sai Yorgil.”
