Volume 12 Chapter 4 - Mountain of Olympus (Part 1-3)
Part 1
Someone whom he wondered ‘Is it okay to trust this kind of person’ appeared in the middle of this desperate situation.
The Norse knights jumped down from the ship like Vikings and reinforced Japan. And then, Skidbladnir folded up into a small shape and vanished into Hrotsvit’s palm.
“Fufufu……Haa―hHA-HA!!”
Fu Xi laughed loudly.
“Gathering in one place for us like this only shortened our effort that much! To be able to suddenly strike down two Kings right here is exactly what is called a godsend! You can prostrate yourselves before us, you savages!!”
Fu Xi’s petite body soared largely. She passed over the Magika Stigmas of Russia towards the front lines where the swordsmen and Systema users were clashing――.
Fu Xi was chanting a spell.
“Flame element!” Kazuki Foresighted the magic power and commanded his comrades. It would be a disaster if they were late even for an instant. Magic power to a repulsive degree was whirling in Fu Xi’s small body.
“O eight dragons of China, become the blazing field that reside in Shangdi’s hand! Kyuuryuu Shinkatou!!”
Dragon avatars of eight colors were emerging one after another at Fu Xi’s surroundings. Because Fu Xi herself was clad in a Magic Dress that was like a dragon, it was like nine dragons were flying in a group.
The dragons of eight colors were twining on each other while converging at Fu Xi’s hand, becoming a single treasured sword. The radiance of eight colors were compressed into that huge treasured sword that was almost as big as Fu Xi’s height.
“Prostrate yourself! No, die!!”
While yelling unreasonable things, Fu Xi swung around the sword. At a glance it was clear that her sword skill was like an amateur. However, the treasured sword that was carelessly wielded spouted out intense winds of flame with each swing.
A fierce heat wave was turning the surrounding rainbow eucalyptus into cinders one after another without any time for the flame to even spread!
“Freeze Barrier!”
Kazuki was the first one who deployed a barrier of cold. His comrades also continued after him and invoked their defensive magic.
Nevertheless, the swordsmen at the frontlines were blown away altogether with Russia’s Systema users like wood chips by a blowing flame. The vanguard was crumbling!
‘This is bad’, from behind Kazuki who was impatiently thinking that――the silver queen was swinging down her sword at him. The enemy wasn’t just Fu Xi alone. He must not forget this girl too. Kazuki evaded by rolling forward.
“My soldiers also got swallowed together with them.”
Ilyailiya directed a chilly tone to Fu Xi while attacking Kazuki from behind.
“It cannot be helped. Attacking little by little like that doesn’t fit our character.”
Was it just his feelings that faint irritation was visible on Ilyailiya’s expression?
And then, one more HrotsvitKing that rushed over here was――.
“Beatrix, go bite her.”
Hrotsvit commanded as though she was ordering a hunting dog. Beatrix said a single “Ma’am-!”, and then she rushed at full speed without any fear towards Fu Xi, rather it was like she was being rewarded.
Beatrix sent a brief glance at Kazuki for a moment. But she didn’t say a word.
Hrotsvit herself held a mace as her weapon and cut in between Kazuki and Ilyailiya.
“……Ilyailiya, I have a proposal.”
“?” Ilyailiya obediently stopped her attacking hand and entered a listening stance.
“How about forming an alliance of Germany-Russia-Japan for the time being and defeat Fu Xi who is isolated alone like this. Thinking about the future, I believe it’s better to eliminate that first and foremost.”
Hrotsvit talked so without knowing that just a little while ago Ilyailiya was saying almost the same thing to Kazuki.
“Plijie Zvezda.”
In exchange of a reply Ilyailiya dropped down meteorites. Hrotsvit Foresighted the trajectory of the meteorites and evaded leisurely.
“Why? Isn’t it a rational proposal?”
“You are……”
Ilyailiya was staring at Hrotsvit with a look that was different than what she directed at Kazuki.
“Among the people congregating on this Atlantis, you are the one who cannot be trusted the most. It’s a different matter if it was a proposal from Hayashizaki Kazuki.”
“My my, I’m even lower than Fu Xi over there and Loki? It cannot be helped. Then Hayashizaki Kazuki, you believe in me right?”
Hrotsvit turned at him abruptly. When Kazuki was unable to reply immediately, she was making doubly sure by saying “Right―” while still smiling. It was a pressuring smile.
“Ye, yeah……really it’s this kind of situation. I feel really thankful.”
“My alliance partner, Hayashizaki Kazuki. Fu Xi possesses vast power, but the way she wields that power is not polished. She had never fought except in the way of kicking around small fries. That’s why if the enemy in front of her eyes is tenaciously facing her then her field of vision will turn narrow. Beatrix is a masochist so she is surely able to attract Fu Xi’s attention with utter gutsiness. You too, please send someone from your camp that is the most excellent in martial arts. In that way she will surely show an opening no matter how vast her power is.”
Hrotsvit proposed a [strategy] with rapid talk like an otaku that suddenly became a fast talker when talking about the story that he liked. The contractor of the god of war Odin……
“Kanae, Karin, Kohaku! Cooperate with Beatrix and stop Fu Xi!”
Certainly even if normal swordsmen fought Fu Xi by ganging up on her, they would be unable to do anything and would only increase the number of casualties. [Strength of number] without every single person possessing the minimum standard wasn’t a practical story. And when the opponent was Fu Xi, that minimum hurdle became terrifyingly high.
“Yes, Nii-sama!” Kanae replied with energy and she took along Kohaku and Karin with her.
“The both of us who have a wide field of vision will push Ilyailiya back while aiming for the opening Fu Xi will show.”
Hrotsvit was talking with a vague hint of cheeriness coloring her words.
Indeed, there were four people in this place, but there was no need to equally fight two against two.
Concentration and dispersion of battle strength. If it was with Kazuki and Hrotsvit then they could conduct themselves quite advantageously. It meant pushing off that Fu Xi to his other comrades but……certainly Fu Xi looked like someone with a personality that would be at a loss against Beatrix’s persistence and Kanae’s nimbleness.
While attacking Ilyailiya with the two of them, they would aim from the side at the opening that Fu Xi would surely show.
However, it was a way of fighting that would be accompanied with sacrifice. No matter how many advantageous conditions his comrades could pile up against Fu Xi this wouldn’t be over with everyone safe and sound. He had the feeling that he could see the true quality of the person called Hrotsvit with that moment of command. ……No, perhaps it was also an expression of trust towards Beatrix.
Fu Xi was a monster. To push her back wasn’t just an ordinary danger.
“Onee-san!”
Beatrix raised a joyful voice after ascertaining the girl who came as reinforcement. She liked fighting against strong warriors more than anything, but she also liked fighting side-by-side together with strong warriors.
Kanae lost her temper with ‘funyaa―!’
“Every last one of you, there is no reason for me to be called sister-in-law by you guys-!!”
Kanae who was once called ‘nee-san’ by Mio too was unwilling.
But both Beatrix and Kanae, at that time they mutually thought of each other as reliable.
Fu Xi who was swinging around the treasured sword called <Kyuuryuu Shinkatou> was at the center of a tornado of flame so getting close to her carelessly was impossible. The might of that tornado of flame was on a different level from what one would imagine from the word flame. Furthermore, while doing that, Fu Xi was chanting even more spells.
The able warriors named by Kazuki and Hrotsvit had to do something about this situation ASAP.
“What is the meaning of this, presenting small fries instead of the King in front of us!”
Fu Xi raised an angry voice and swung her treasured sword to Kanae-Kohaku-Karin who arrived before her. With a single swing, a wind of flame that would swallow all three of them together blew. But the three of them were notorious warriors. They Foresighted and sensed the simple magic phenomenon and were able to escape from place to place.
“You bastards, so you understand our movement before hand!”
Fu Xi was―with a glance she perceived the true nature of her opponents’ movement and raised an irritated voice.
“Be careful, it’s dangerous to get hit by even one attack!” “Yes, Kana-nyan-senpai!”
Kanae aroused caution and Kohaku answered.
This was exactly a fight of heavyweight class against lightweight class. Fu Xi’s wind of flame was evaded nimbly by Kanae and the others, at a glance it looked like an even fight, but everything would end if they received even a single attack.
Beatrix was laughing joyfully “Fuhahahaha!”
“This peerless formidable enemy, a joint-struggle with heartening allies, it’s really thrilling! But……nothing will start if we don’t get close first!!”
Beatrix charged straight at Fu Xi while guffawing. Fu Xi naturally swung her treasured sword to meet her attack. BeatrixThe berserker that jumped right from the front into the wind of flame caused Karin to scream “That’s reckless!?”
Karin directed the defensive magic that she was chanting to Beatrix in panic.
“Mark in hand, truth in mouth, resignation in soul……the defense doctrine of ancient times that repels disaster right here……Abolishment Samskara Klesha MantraOnkirikakusowaka!”
Karin’s contracted Diva <Tamamo no Mae> was known as an apparition, but she was a fox that was revered with faith as a god in the ancient Japan. Karin’s spell chant――no, perhaps it should be called [prayer] here. With that Tamamo no Mae exhibited power as a god and gave rise to winds of protection.
Beatrix who was rushing headlong was enveloped in wind that repelled disaster.
The wind that attacked Beatrix right from the front was weakened in momentum at that moment.
“My gratitude fox kid!”
Beatrix leaped into the winds of flame that was weakened only for an instant and held her ground even while her magic power was being shaved off grindingly before she rode across. And then she crashed her large sword at the treasured sword that was the source of the flame.
“O divine protection of valorous man, whirl in my body and double the Megin! The will of god that spurs me to infinite fight, in this body! ……Meginjord!”
Blade and blade was pushing hard at each other while Beatrix invoked reinforcement magic.
Blade locking contest. Now that it became like this Fu Xi became unable to swing her treasured sword anymore.
The whirl of flame that turned the surrounding area into a blazing field finally stopped with that.
“Now……Shin’iki!!”
Kanae immediately plunged in. Fu Xi right now was in the timing where her chanting was going to end anytime.
Surely this must be an unknown special move for Fu Xi.
Shin’iki――by perfectly reading and understanding the magic power wave of the spell chanting and by swinging the blade at a perfect timing, a small wound would be gouged at the most important framework of the magic power stream that composed the spell. With that single small wound, the magic phenomenon that should be completed would be crushed into pieces――it was a [chanting disruption technique].
It was unrelated to how vast the magic power that Fu Xi had. With one attack of a small black cat, the magic of Fu Xi that was on the verge of completion right now was dispersed.
Losing control of the whirling magic power, it melted into the air and vanished completely.
“Just now, what’s that!”
Fu Xi whose reset button was pressed from the side in a development that she had never even imagined leaked out a shocked voice.
“I will do a good fight, welcome a good death, become a person who wishes to participate in even more battles of heaven! The divine protection of blood color in my eye! Berserk!!”
Beatrix jostled the treasured sword while piling up even more reinforcement magic.
However――Fu Xi’s treasured sword was unmoving like a boulder. Fu Xi’s arm strength……wasn’t the cause, the vast magic power Fu Xi’s whole body was clad with was the cause. Fu Xi pulled herself together and smiled smugly.
“Hmph, you all, are you planning to stop us? Fufufu, I sense you who are in front of our eyes. How your magic power is being shaved grindingly even just by matching blades like this. Do you understand now? You who are desperately enduring the weight of our blade, are under the control of us.”
The more someone was under the control of Fu Xi, their strength would be stolen from there――that was exactly the King’s Authority possessed by Fu Xi.
That wasn’t something limited by country’s territory. If her standpoint towards the enemy in front of her eyes became dominant, the enemy’s strength would be stolen gradually by that much. Smile was fading away from Beatrix’s expression.
“Shin’iki!” “Shintoukei!” “Getsuei no Tachi!”
Kanae, Karin and Kohaku, the three of them simultaneously assaulted Fu Xi whose sword was locked against Beatrix.
But the attacks of the three, all of them were repelled by something unseen.
Fu Xi wasn’t moving――the three martial artists sharpened their senses to detect just what in the world had blocked their attack. And then their eyes opened wide in shock.
A colossal magic power was floating behind Fu Xi, it was forming the shape of a human.
As though it was the guardian god of Fu Xi.
“Fufufu, understand that the density of our magic power is different with you all. This is not Summoning Magic at all. The great force of will of us gave birth to one more us……”
The Enchant Aura enveloping Fu Xi’s body detached from Fu Xi’s body as it was and moved independently, it was protecting the unmoving Fu Xi.
“Something like that is useless if the trick is known!”
The three of them quickly released the second wave of attacks. But Fu Xi’s shadow clone was hindering them, there was no way <Shin’iki> or <Shintoukei> would succeed. Kohaku’s <Getsuei no Tachi> perfectly hit, but that attack that was specialized in hitting didn’t have that much strength.
While they were doing that Fu Xi was restarting her chant once more. The countdown of terror began once more.
“Because our close aides are not at our side protecting us, even chanting is a pain but……no matter, surely even a low level magic like this will be enough for the likes of you all.”
Even though she said that it was a low level magic, but it was a magic phenomenon that was invoked with Fu Xi’s colossal magic power as the trigger.
――The invocation couldn’t be prevented. Kanae, Karin, and Kohaku leaped back with maximum vigilance. Only Beatrix didn’t do that. She was left behind while stopping Kyuuryuu Shinkatou and endured patiently.
“O history of China’s four thousand years wartime fire……become five swords with blades filled with grudge. China Five SwordsChuuka Goken!”
Five treasured swords were created along with light of five colors at Fu Xi’s surroundings.
Those swords were like birds with their own will, they flew around with wind cutting sound.
“First sword, Hitou!”
One of the swords swooped down at Beatrix that couldn’t make any movement.
“Shintoukei!” Karin jumped in to cover for Beatrix and struck the side of the flying blade with her palm heel. She read and understood the flow of magic power of the <Hitou> and then she poured in magic power that ran counter to it to nullify the magic power while her palm heel conveyed shockwave to the blade――<Shintoukei>. The Hitou was smashed into small pieces suddenly.
“Second sword, Gokouken!!”
The five swords were moving in turn――the next one moving was a large two bladed sword.
It did something unexpected and split vertically right in the middle, becoming twin swords with single edge each and flew towards Beatrix from both sides.
“……Wind God PositioningFujin Sokuitsuke!” This time it was Kanae who jumped in while rotating like a spinning wheel and swung her katana from right to left and caressed away the intersecting twin swords. With a speed that handled left and right at almost the same time, Kanae repositioned the swords with the minimum strength. <Gokouken> was shifted from Kanae and Beatrix to miss by a hairs breadth and stabbed into the ground deeply.
“Third sword, Konmeiken! Go!!”
In succession the third sword moved. It flew to the wrong direction and stabbed into the ground where there was no one. Kanae and the others readied themselves instantly wondering what it was planning.
The next moment, pitch black mist spewed out from the sword that stabbed the ground like a grave marker. The mist was enveloping not just Kanae’s group, but even the allies in the surroundings and also the Russian knight order.
All at once the people lost their strength as if their whole body was ravaged by a nerve poison. Several people fell on their knees weakly. Even Beatrix that was locking swords with Fu Xi right now was swallowed by the black mist and groaned “guh”, it weakened her herculean strength and she was gradually being pushed back by the pressure of Kyuuryuu Shinkatou.
If Beatrix was outpushed then they would be exposed to the threat of the flame storm once more.
At that time from the battlefield that was covered by the mist of curse, Shouko who was straddling the divine beast <Shifuzou> was flying high to the sky swiftly.
“That become the whip of god that shoot out the soul! Awaken the surge that disturbs the origin god right here! Dashinben!”
Shouko swing down the thin wooden pole from the air towards the black mist. The wooden pole that hit empty air *DOON!* reverberated throughout the surrounding area with striking magic power.
That was a special surge that obstructed every kind of magic power wave and magic phenomenon.
At once the black mist dispersed and vanished. The people recovered their strength.
Beatrix also recovered her strength and pushed back the Kyuuryuu Shinkatou with a strain.
“Hmph, so you came through that, how troublesome. Fourth sword, Bakuya Houken!”
Without almost any time to rest, the fourth treasured sword emitted fierce light.
That white light blinded the eyes of all people who were present there. It was a light that disregarded even when the eyesight was strengthened with magic power.
The people lost their eyesight temporarily, <Bakuya Houken> became the very streak of light and flew towards Beatrix with the speed of light. It was truly an attack that wouldn’t let one see through or defend against it.
But at that time a darkness that seemed to swallow that light was enveloping Beatrix protectively.
“O god of destruction Shiva, pull down the curtain of jet black right here! O calamity, rotate! Great Darkness of ReconstructionBairava Mahakala!!”
The contractor of Shiva, Silirat of Ryouzanpaku emitted [darkness]. That was the darkness that symbolized Shiva’s cycle of destruction and regeneration――the enshrouding phenomenon was immediately dismantled as an error.
When the darkness swallowed the treasured sword that emitted light, the treasured sword lost its light and speed and turned into a blunt sword immediately. Karin shouted “Haa!” with spirit and smashed it apart.
Fu Xi’s both eyes became sharp like a dragon, her eyes goggled at Shouko and Silirat that suddenly appeared.
“Heh! It’s shocking that tyrant-sama is properly remembering the faces of us lowly people!”
Silirat bared her teeth and talked back provocatively.
“I really ain’t got any duty to be the ally of Japan, but I had long awaited for this day where I can face you like this yeah, Reborn Emperor Fu Xi!”
Shouko also yelled at Fu Xi with a fierce grin.
The expressions of Shouko and Silirat were filled with happiness of finally confronting the hated enemy.
Both of them lost their birthplace because of China’s invasion, they were war orphans that formed Ryouzanpaku.
“Fuh, that’s because we also have smart minds! Those guys that are slightly better even amidst the small fries, I remember them!”
Fu Xi’s young face burst open into a smile and she puffed up her chest with a proud huff ‘ehhen’.
It was a really innocent smile even towards opponents who were directing glares filled with killing intent at her.
“Shut up you demon!”
Silirat pointed the tips of her <Trisula> at Fu Xi and took her stance.
“That’s right! You are the bad one!!”
Suddenly Karin also raised a yell of hatred.
“Nee-san wasn’t bad by any means! I also wasn’t unfortunate! Everything……everything was because of you, the source of all evil!!”
The smoldering feelings inside Karin’s chest that didn’t have any place to vent to was suddenly realized towards the enemy before her eyes.
Being raised as a puppet without affection to be a spy of China, in the end she parted with her step-sister without being able to exchange any feelings at all. Even so Karin was unable to resent her step-sister.
To give it up as a mere misfortune gave her a feeling of loss that just was too heavy. ‘Just why did it have to become like this’, that emotion which didn’t have any outlet to vent out to had been inside her all this time without her understanding it.
And then right now, she herself overlapped with the figures of Shouko and Silirat and she was finally able to understand.
Chukadou, King of domination, Fu Xi.
This girl’s urge for domination was what was made her whole lifedestiny into a mess!
The naïve Karin was pierced by a hatred so great, one which she had never harbored towards anyone until now, that it made her tremble. Her small body was boiling strongly with the heat of rage.
“We are bad you say? Foolish, ignorant people. Whether it is good or bad, it is decided by us!! The sin of saying that we are bad, deserves a thousand deaths!!”
The last sword shined dazzlingly.
“Fifth sword, Seikoui Tenken!!”
“Silirat, its light element again! Do the one just now one more time!”
“Say that after you bought me time for chanting you idiot-!”
Kanae yelled and then Silirat yelled back.
The last sword――Seikoui Tenken was shining brightly while climbing up to the sky. All the swords until now were rapidly increasing in power corresponding with the increasing turn. Then surely this would be the strongest sword.
When the sword was absorbed to the sky, with a flash the clouds split and light was overflowing down.
“Bridge to the surface from the sky, o rainbow of supremacy path! Mow down the worms!!”
Fu Xi yelled, then rainbow colored light was pouring down from the sky.
Red, blue, yellow……any of those colors were a laser beam formed from compressed magic power. It made their hair stand on its ends. All the lights were heading accurately to Kanae and Beatrix respectively.
“Block and endure, <Taroutachi>! Battou Kaikon――Taiju no Shinogi!”
Kohaku poured magic power into her Sacred Treasure and enlarged it until the limit and protected the overheads of her comrades.
The roof of thick steel blocked the colorful rain of light. But Taroutachi endured only for an instant. It used up its power at once and it withered back to its original size.
But thanks to that instant, Shouko’s chanting made it in time.
“O evil lurking in the sand pattern, shut the surge and scatters the light! Wind Scattering FlowerTao Art - Kazesange!!”
Shouko controlled wind and compressed the density of the atmosphere overhead. The clump of air compressed by soaking it with magic power became a shield that obstructed every element of attack. The air isolated the temperature, blew away material, and then the light――was being dispersed while being refracted.
When the rainbow laser passed through the wall of air its vectors were refracted, its accurate aim was slightly shifted. Due to that the target barely escaped from being hit.
The heat ray passed through by a hairbreadth right besides them. However, just the radiating wave from that smashed their defensive magic power with a colossal amount of heat and it blew away the swordsmen everywhere.
“ “ “ “ “UWAAAAAAAAAAAAH!” ” ” ” ”
“NUOWAAAA-!”
Even Beatrix who was blocking Kyuuryuu Shinkatou while being protected by her comrades had her back burned by the radiating waves of the heat ray, her knees finally slumped down.
She was already unable to block Kyuuryuu Shinkatou and became exposed powerlessly in front of that tyranny.
“Hahahahaha! That’s as far as you go!”
Fu Xi kicked the slumping Beatrix and sent her flying, then she largely swung up Kyuuryuu Shinkatou in order to swallow her up with flame wind.
“You did well enduring this long, but you are finally devoured! And then prostrate yourself!! No, die!!”
――But at that time Fu Xi’s field of vision had exactly shrank down. She became absorbed with the prey in front of her eyes and separated her eyes from the existences that she should originally pay attention to the most.
And that was creeping unnoticed, from dead angle to dead angle, while killing the presence of its magic power.
“――!?”
The shadow creeping close was finally noticed by Fu Xi when it reached the stage where it swelled up its magic power, she turned behind her. She was too late.
“Near Death Roulette!!”
“What the!?”
Kazuki swung down the scythe of the death god.
Part 2
“Hayashizaki Kazuki, on the fifth move!”
Hrotsvit yelled while fighting.
“I get it!” Kazuki also returned a nod.
That was the moment when Fu Xi used the first sword <Hitou> among her five treasured swords.
Fu Xi didn’t do something like [launching the five swords at the same time]. It was reasonable to think that the magic she used wasn’t something where doing such thing was possible. Those five swords couldn’t be handled at the same time.
From now on Fu Xi would launch her five swords in turn. Even though she would not need to chant any spell during it, but her action until five moves ahead had became definite.
Kazuki and Hrotsvit noticed that fact at the same time.
In the case that their comrades defended against those swords one after another until the fifth one……Fu Xi will surely lose her temper. She would lose her cool. She would perform an act that they had predicted beforehand without her cool.
――This was the extremely rare chance where her field of vision narrowed. There would be an opening created without fail.
The problem was how far their comrades could defend themselves. Kazuki who aimed for the surprise attack couldn’t chant defensive magic in order to help his comrades.
That was a gamble but there was no time to feel hesitation. Even if they had predicted her action five moves ahead with certainty, it didn’t change that it was like watching someone pulling the trigger of a gun filled with five bullets ‘bang bang bang bang bang!’
Retreating from the battle against Ilyailiya that was jumping and flying around, Kazuki rushed towards the direction of Fu Xi.
“……I won’t let you go.”
Ilyailiya who changed her right arm into a silver blade tried to block Kazuki’s path.
However, having predicting that high speed movement, Hrotsvit cut in with her body.
Hrotsvit was also able to perfectly foresight the killing intent of Ilyailiya.
Precisely because she didn’t have eyesight that she was even more sensitive to it than Kazuki.
Wisdom. Prophecy――those were things that symbolized Odin.
“You won’t let him go? Do you really think so?”
Ilyailiya was repelled away by a powerful body blow, Hrotsvit then swung her large thorny mace *buun!*. Ilyailiya barely blocked it with her silver shield and her movement was stopped with the strength of the two reaching equilibrium against each other. Kazuki successfully retreated from there.
“……Domovoi!”
Ilyailiya summoned spirit of flame and sent it at Hrotsvit.
“Calamaity has already been reflected on my blocked eyes……Hidden Letter of ProtectionOrto Rune!”
Runes were shining red while emerging at Hrotsvit’s surroundings as if to protect her, the fire spirit clashed against it and both magics offset each other.
“Automatic defense magic in response to the foresight……!”
Ilyailiya analyzed with a clear face and voice.
“You can see as you wish any unforeseen attack.”
“I wish I could do that―. You, since a while ago you were completely devoting yourself to defense weren’t you? Sometimes you counterattacked but you only kept using the same magic like an idiot that only remembers one thing. Are you underestimating us? Or else……you too are someone with a considerably cunning personality?”
“……”
Ilyailiya didn’t answer and put her strength into her silver shield in the attempt to push back.
“A safe mode that thoroughly protects your own body without showing your trump card at all. It is an annoyance that no sufficient damage is inflicted on you after fighting you with the two of us……hey, were you really thinking of [won’t let him go]?”
Ilyailiya didn’t answer. Hrotsvit showed a smug faint smile and peered into Ilyailiya’s eyes.
“Your true intention is to [do her in], am I wrong?”
――And then when the fourth sword was launched, Kazuki rushed until nearby Fu Xi and the others.
At the fifth swords, with effort he endured the feeling of wanting to protect everyone with defensive magic. He believed in his comrades.
And then, while he sensed the movement of Fu Xi’s eyes, he was rushing from blind spot to blind spot.
While he was inside a battlefield where attack magics were bursting everywhere in all directions, his magic power was endlessly thin. He didn’t even let a drop of sound leak out from his footsteps by using Psychokinesis as a cushion.
He emitted his presence only for an instant when he invoked magic using Zekorbeni.
His comrades were desperately defending. They somehow pulled through the fifth sword too. However, Beatrix finally fell on her knees and Fu Xi brandished her Kyuuryuu Shinkatou. He couldn’t postpone it for even an instant more.
“Hell King DressMode Asmodeus!”
At that moment, Kazuki made it in time.
“The five stars shining at the interstice of life and death, pillaged by the circling whim of the god of death, become an unspeakable wretched clay doll! Near Death Roulette!!”
Magic power exploded in his palm and a huge scythe was created, he swung it.
“What the!?”
Fu Xi noticed and turned around but――she was already too late. From Fu Xi’s shoulder until her lower body, the black scythe cut her up without any resistance. There wasn’t even any reaction from defensive magic power.
This scythe didn’t posses even the tiniest bit of attack power.
In exchange, every single attack would randomly plunder one of a human’s five senses.
The moment the scythe cut up Fu Xi, his two hands felt weight that he had never experienced until now. Rather than a physical weight, the weight was resounding in his mind. It was a weight that he had never felt when using this magic until now. Kazuki immediately stepped back and took distance.
Fu Xi who was full of composure was shaken up for the first time.
“You, you bastard, what did you do!?”
Fu Xi flapped both her hands and she stamped both her legs on the ground as though to make sure of the ground’s feel.
……Perhaps the sense that was stolen was her sense of touch. Fu Xi was supposed to feel uneasiness as though her whole body was floating in space. Actually he wanted to steal her eyesight but……
Nevertheless what was with the weight of this scythe?
{That’s just how heavy the thing that you stole is.}
Asmodeus’s voice resounded inside Kazuki’s head.
Certainly, he was using this magic against an opponent that was on a different level compared to all his opponents until now. In the first place, Kazuki hadn’t used this magic all that much until now.
However, hadn’t Kaguya-senpai been able to easily use this scythe skillfully? She was able to nonchalantly steal several senses from a great number of opponents as she pleased. No matter how much out of the norm Fu Xi was as an opponent……
{Kukuku, that’s because the compatibility of me and you and this magic is lacking. You are thinking that you don’t really like using this magic right? It’s not your style.}
Now that he was told so, he had no choice but to agree.
{Though the compatibility between me and my cute Kaguya is perfect you see.}
Kaguya-senpai who was being favored until this much by this female ero demon king……
<Near Death Roulette> stole one of the senses with each attack, the sixth attack would sever the magic power itself. However……with the scythe getting this heavy from just one attack, he guessed that that really wasn’t realistic to carry out.
“Now! She is feeling shaken!!”
Kanae gave the command and then she started attacking together with the comrades who had fixed their stance.
“Chih……o flame of Nanden, burn the vigor and work the mind, fill the full scope of heaven and become the sun god. Exiting divinity from Taizoku, change shape into garments that is one with origin! Tempering God Purple Ribbon Hermit ClothesReijin Shiju Sen’i!!”
It seemed that Fu Xi was spewing out a large amount of magic power from her mouth, but that magic power was enveloping her whole body and became a garment that repelled the all-out attack of Kanae and the others.
“Useless…… attacks from the likes of you all are useless against us! ……That’s how it’s supposed to be……yet, what have you done you bastard!?”
Even while showing such an overwhelming defensive power, Fu Xi glared at Kazuki with a look of rage.
The girl had received an unknown attack that she couldn’t recover from.
Most likely two words of [temporary retreat] were also flashing inside Fu Xi’s head.
It wasn’t a bad point of compromise to have her retreat after this little skirmish.
In the first place she should be bearing a risk too, having China’s main force acting separately from her continuously like this. ……Now that he thought about it, where was the main force of China?
Kazuki looked around once again and grasped the situation. Thanks to the reinforcement of ten people from the Norse Knight Order, Japan could oppose Russia in a superior position. However Russia’s side wasn’t really damaged that much. ……Right now Kazuki noticed, that Russia as a whole was putting importance on defense.
Perhaps in this situation, the one who was being forced into exhaustion the most was Fu Xi alone.
Needless to say, the one who arranged that was obviously Ilyailiya.
It looked like this was a battle of two against two, but the truth was that it wasn’t like that.
……*Shudder*, Kazuki suddenly felt a chill.
He looked up to the sky. On the battlefield Kazuki was constantly honing his senses towards magic power. Kazuki who was doing that was sensing a magic power wave from a direction he didn’t anticipate as a [bad premonition] and [chill] instinctually.
“Everyone, be careful! Something is coming from the sky!!”
He didn’t understand at all what it was, how was it coming and who it was aimed at, but anyway he yelled.
Something was sparkling in the sky――in was approaching in the blink of an eye.
It was an arrow wrapped in magic power! The moment he understood that, that arrow pierced Fu Xi who was in front of his eyes.
“……What the!? Whose work is this!!”
Fu Xi’s [Reijin Shiju Sen’i] had cracks running on it.
It wasn’t just a single shot. With that as the start *hyun hyun hyun*……arrows were flying in succession. Those arrows’ aim weren’t limited to Fu Xi, the arrows were flying accurately at many people.
The knights who were right in the middle of battle were falling into panic.
“……” Taking advantage of the mayhem, Ilyailiya’s figure vanished. Hrotsvit was facing the sky and her attention was shifted from Ilyailiya which made an instant of opening.
She rushed around between the knights of Japan who were in disorder and were preparing to flee, there was no doubt that she had the ulterior motive of chopping up everyone like a slasher. Kazuki too was late in his reaction.
But the instant Ilyailiya moved, an arrow accurately flew as if it had beaten her to the punch. Silver armor broke and magic power light was overflowing. Ilyailiya stumbled her step and stopped still.
The arrows were also aiming at Russia. They were flying here without discrimination between Japan, China, or Russia.
“Which interloper is firing these arrows!!” Fu Xi raised an angry voice.
Kazuki and Kanae Foresighted the trajectory of the arrows with senses that were nearly like prediction, they protected the nearby allies. However, when their attention got fully occupied by the arrows, Russia’s knights came in assault with their Systema. Those Russian knights also became the victim of those arrows. The battlefield was displaying a state of chaos.
Kazuki recalled the silhouette of a mountain floating on the other side of the sky he saw before. This was……
“We are being sniped from the top of that mountain. The highest place in this battlefield is being occupied.”
Hrotsvit talked with the same thinking as Kazuki.
“Arrows that are hitting perfectly at the same time numbered as far as two. There are two shooters.”
Hrotsvit nodded back at him after Kazuki said so.
Two arrows were flying here simultaneously, however the speed of the rapid-fire was terrifying. The power wasn’t that high but it was annoying with the huge number of the arrows. Indiscriminate……that meant, they couldn’t see the appearance of the people here?
“I never even imagined that someone would attack from the top of that mountain.”
In a place that was enshrouded by a magic power cloud this thick the attacker was able to snipe this accurately.
In the first place it was difficult to fill projectile weapons with magic power. Even the Summoning Magic of Divas couldn’t cause magic phenomenon outside the range of perception. This was a long range attack that should be impossible.
“This is really outside of common sense……however, come to think of it, there are two Divas that might be able to do this sniping that is like foul play on this Atlantis.”
Something suddenly came to Kazuki’s mind.
“……So this is an interruption from Italia!”
Hrotsvit nodded.
“The strongest bow users in every mythology of all ages and countries……Greek Mythology’s Apollo and Artemis.”
Part 3
The scenery the girls were looking down at was enveloped by a sea of clouds. The sea of clouds weren’t white, but were faint blue clouds filled with magical power.
It was at the peak of the mountain. The rainbow eucalyptus forest spreading at the lower world was completely covered by the sea of clouds, no matter how great the clairvoyance one had the situation inside the forest couldn’t be peeked at. Even sensing magic power was impossible.
It was like a mountain where the hermits were living, that place was a world that was completely isolated from the lower world.
That was how it was supposed to be. With the exclusion of just two people as the exception.
“The arrows, are they hitting the target properly?”
Vera Garibaldi softly asked the two who were earnestly firing arrows rapidly above a steep boulder.
“Hahaha, of course we don’t know that. We cannot see after all.”
The contractor of <Apollo> Valextra Versace laughed showing her shining teeth.
She was a handsome and tall female that possessed both good spiritedjovialness and gallantness like the sun. Her air was like Hoshikaze Hikaru that was made into a westerner as she was. Her body was wrapped in a bright red Magic Dress.
“It’s not like we are going easy at shooting them. Believe in us and rest assured Vera.”
The contractor of <Artemis> Diana Versace admonished Vera calmly.
She was a clearly transparent beautiful female possessing both refreshing coolness and calmness that was like the moon. The atmosphere of this one was like Ryuutaki Miyabi who was even quieter. She was wearing a champagne gold Magic Dress.
In the first place there was much beauty among the Magika Stigma, yet even so, these two were a duo that looked picturesque.
Vera whose atmosphere was a little plain compared to the two was pressing on her chest with a look that was kept in tenterhooks.
“I’ll recognize that I’m worrying too much……it’s just that everything progressed too smoothly exactly as planned. But there is just one thing that I want to properly confirm……those arrows didn’t hit Regina-sama inadvertently did they? The current Regina-sama will die if she got hit by an arrow you know……”
“Hahah, that would be amusing too.” Apollo’s Valextra laughed large-heartedly.
“You cannot laugh that off-!”
“This bow of Apollo……<Light Arrow of God SlayerAganaverea> will shoot accurately through magic power from a far distance. It won’t react to the current Regina.”
“This bow of Artemis……<Shadow Arrow of Beast SlayerGinekaverea> detects fast movements from a far distance and shoots it through. Though if Regina is moving quickly than this bow will react……”
When Artemis’s Diana said that coolly, Vera raised a voice “hieh” that sounded like a hiccup. Valextra laughed heartily saying “Hahaha, your voice just now.”
“But it won’t aim at an object that is moving independently. It’s attached with that much distinction. It will only aim at keen and nimble movement in a group……in other words only at people that began fighting.”
“Is that so? The two of you……you two are lacking in loyalty towards Regina-sama so I’m worried.”
“Hahaha, loyalty to Regina you say, hahaha.”
“Fufufu, loyalty to Regina you say, fufufu.”
“Why are you two laughing about that! Regina-sama is an amazing person. I’ll report this to her you know!”
“That’s scary that we are going to get reported isn’t it.” “That’s scary that we are going to get reported, yes.” “That person, she is short tempered after all.” “That person, she is someone that cannot be joked with.”
Towards those three talking people, one more [top brass] was approaching with brisk footsteps they were familiar with before that person joined the talk.
“Don’t slack down at your shooting because of doing stupid talk, both of you. Are you two planning to make the strategy go to waste?”
Vera’s expression slackened down in relief.
“Zenia……your loyalty is also questionable, but it helps that you are serious.”
“Don’t look for loyalty every single time.”
The contractor of the god of war Athena, Zenia Veneta replied with a hard voice.
“You know that we <Olympia’s twelve gods> especially don’t have that kind of relationship.”
She had hair that was cut and evened up shortly with a sharp and cold look that had no opening at all. Iron woman, female sergeant, she was a female with that kind of atmosphere.
“I’m not telling you to show respect to Regina-sama because she is Zeus-sama’s contractor. Everyone ought to respect the magnificence of Regina-sama as an individual more, that’s what I believe.”
“If you are talking from that point of view, then I cannot understand at all even more. Regina is a mere eccentric.”
When Zenia frankly cut down what Vera said, the Versace sisters also raised “hahaha” “fufufu” chuckling voices like the chirping of little birds.
When Vera heard Regina getting talked about badly, she got dejected as if it was herself that got deprecated.
‘Certainly Regina-sama also has aspects that is a little bit like that but, I think she is a wonderful person, yet……
Regina-sama won’t listen well to other people’s opinions, but if she is not acting that overbearingly, then she surely won’t be able to unify and lead these members who are like this. I’m thinking of that as even more true now that I’m made to be the substitute leader.’
“Don’t be so down like that Vera.”
One more person joined the conversation with a tone that sounded somewhat viscous.
“Even though with their mouths everyone is talking like that, in actuality they should love Regina. And then more than anyone else……I love Regina-sama. We are in love with each other. Super love chuu chuu Regina haa haa”
This time Vera was turning at the owner of the voice with her eyes getting damp behind her glasses.
“Diadora…… Zeus and Hera are a married couple of gods, however, I don’t think that means that you and Regina-sama are also a married couple.”
The contractor Magika Stigma of the goddess <Hera> that was the wife of Zeus, Diadora Fermani was breathing roughly ‘haa haa’ with a sexually perverted look.
“Fufufu, [Heifer’s EyeDuorasis]……my eyes even now are reflecting the figure of Regina-sama. It cannot be helped that my breathing got somewhat disordered.”
“For some reason I feel like Regina-sama is being dirtied……”
Talking about Zeus, he was a god that was like the synonym of infidelity, but Hera that was his wife was a goddess that was the most yandere in the world.
Hera wouldn’t fail to notice Zeus’s infidelity by any means, she absolutely wouldn’t forgive that infidelity partner.
The magic that was modeled after that legend, the [Duorasis]――it was able to look from a distance at the figure of Regina who was the contractor of Zeus from anytime and anywhere no matter how far it was.
It was the ultimate observation magic that ignored even the dense magic power cloud of Atlantis as though it was nothing.
That Regina separated from Italia’s knight order and took independent action by herself.
She was moving around Atlantis freely by transforming into various animals. ……It was common knowledge that Regina could transform into an animal, so if Regina wasn’t thought of as being already dead, perhaps Fu Xi and Ilyailiya would kill every animal that entered their sights.
But right now, where everyone was under the impression that Regina was already dead, Regina who transformed into an animal was completely turned into a blind spot.
Kazuki named Ilyailiya as the strongest scout, but the current Regina wouldn’t lose to her at all. With the appearance of an animal and her magic power erased into nothing, there was no one who could catch a sight of Regina.
And then the scenery that Regina was seeing was shared with Hera’s Diadora so that she could also see the same scenery.
Regina hated Diadora’s stalking ability and her personality from the bottom of her heart, but for the sake of victory she had resolved herself to use any kind of method.
Perfect spying action and information delivery. The ultimate that was demanded from scouting was in their hands.
“Aah……the happiness of being able to observe Regina’s figure without any reservation……”
Diadora’s expression had surpassed ecstasy and turned criminal.
Vera renewed her determination “I have to support Regina-sama……”
Putting aside the personality of her comrades, the strategy was going perfectly.
Regina was freely moving around and communicated the safe route that had no enemy to Italia’s knight order’s main force, and so their main force could climb this mountain at full speed without anyone being alerted and made the spot their base. It wasn’t a difficult mission in the first place because it was only Apollo and Artemis who found tactical value for this mountain, but nevertheless everything was going smoothly.
Firing their arrows from here, naturally the enemy immediately noticed that they were being sniped from atop of the mountain.
However……
From the steep cliff before their eyes, someone was flying up vigorously and landed before Vera.
“Vera-dono, Hermes’s ninja corps’ deployment and the placement of the trap, everything has been completed gozaru.”
“Thank you Faraone. But I think that you and your subordinates aren’t actually ninjas though.”
The contractor of <Hermes> Faraone El Shaarawy.
Hermes was a god of ingenuity, swindling, and a messenger that was the swiftest in the world of mythology.
His activity was exactly like a ninja.
Faraone changed this mountain into an impregnable fortress with Hermes’s trap magic.
If some force became eager to stop the arrows and tried to climb this mountain, the troublesomeness and the unpleasantness of the god called Hermes would be taught to them until the depths of their flesh and bone.
“The time that the ninjutsu that this lowly self had kept training to finally become useful……is truly this lowly self’s long cherished wish gozaru.”
Faraone was a maniac of the Japanese ninja.
However, with the severed diplomatic relations and the faith’s influence, her knowledge about ninjas was a little dubious, she was wearing an outrageous hairstyle that was a mix of a Mohican and a topknot.
She was a good person, but Vera couldn’t understand her sense of aesthetic even a little. Vera averted her eyes. She couldn’t look straight at her. Even though her face was completely beautiful but with that Mohican topknot hairstyle, it made Vera’s brain fall into mayhem looking at her. If a male looked at her face then surely he would writhe and groan saying “Why is a beautiful girl like this doing that kind of hairstyle!”
“Fu-fu-fu, everything is going smoothlyswimmingly.”
The contractor of Athena, Zenia was also chuckling with a slightly slackened expression.
“Yes, it’s perfect. ……Everyone! Everyone everywhere is underestimating us because they are under the impression that Regina-sama is dead. However Regina-sama is alive……even though Regina-sama is not here, but we will make them realize how terrifying the united power of Olympia’s twelve gods is!!”
Vera yelled so to her comrades in order to heighten the morale of the knight order.
After a silence that was still as death “Hahaha, Olympia’s twelve gods uniting she says, hahaha” “Fufufu, aren’t we a Mythology that is the farthest from that, fufufu” the Versace sisters laughed as though chirping.
“Regina-sama……every one of them are all problem children but, this right hand of Regina-sama, <Poseidon>’s Vera will unite them well without fail……! Please watch over me!”
Vera clenched her fist tightly.
“Don’t say something like that out loud but say it inside your heart.” Zenia pointed that out coldly.
“Please look over there? No, I am looking at Regina right now. Haa haa……Regina that is turning into a white bird and flying inside the forest of rainbows……what elegance and grace that is……hauuun!!”
Diadora was shivering all over.
Putting aside their power of unity, Italia’s knight order was at their best form above the mountain.
It was chaos. The battlefield that welcomed Japan-Russia added with Fu Xi of China and Hrotsvit of Germany together with ten of her elites had lost the order even more due to the indiscriminate attacks of arrows from the sky.
When everyone there thought that they didn’t want to accumulate damage in this early stage, instead their attention was taken completely by the arrows from the sky and they became unable to concentrate on the enemies before their eyes.
The one who especially became noticeably unmotivated was Ilyailiya. She was expressionless even at the best of times, but now that she had drastically lost her motivation and both her eyes became exactly like that of a dead fish.
Hrotsvit suddenly pushed her shoulder on Kazuki and whispered.
“Did you notice?”
“The regularity of the arrows you mean?”
“You said that there are two right―. ……Fufufu, I want to be spared of having an alliance with a person of bad judgment but, you are unexpectedly a partner that is easy to work with.”
Hrotsvit nodded as though to say ‘that’s exactly what I think too’.
“There are two kinds of arrows here. One is flying the moment to where there is magic power growingswelling.”
“And then the other arrow is flying the moment someone tries to move quickly and it flies towards that movement.”
Hrotsvit nodded with a friendly grin.
Kazuki and Hrotsvit who excelled in [seeing through] had no more fear at all towards these two arrows the moment they saw through the regularity, It was easy to deal with it if they understood where and when the arrows were going to come.
Kazuki communicated this regularity towards his Chouki magicians using telepathy. From them, the way of dealing with the arrows also began to permeate towards the whole Japanese Knight Order.
“Eei, annoying! Annoying! We cannot chant magic like this!!”
In contrast Fu Xi was irritated.
The arrow that aimed at the moment of magic power inflation aimed frequently at Fu Xi who was the magician with the strongest magic power in this place. And then, each time she was hit by an arrow the shock of smashed magic power shook her whole body. Fu Xi who had lost her sense of touch on her whole body was inflicted with confusion each time her body received an impact. At the time her body shook violently, both her legs didn’t have the sensation of stepping on the earth. Only her sight was shaken. Just that kind of thing was really confusing her mind.
And then the other arrow that was flying with aim towards fast movement was flying a lot toward Ilyailiyas whose distinctive characteristic was her speed.
The cause that made Ilyailiya waft off the mood of war weariness in her expression was that.
Be that as it may it was difficult to give damage to Ilyailiya when she was in preparedness to flee. It wasn’t skillful to expose your trump card to an opponent that was devoting herself to defense……when Kazuki and Hrotsvit thought like that, the lack of motivation of Ilyailiya also infected the two of them.
The battle was losing its direction.
“Is your main force heading to this place right now?”
Kazuki asked Hrotsvit. That was an important factor that decided the state of the war.
“I inserted runes as a substitute for path signs while advancing through the forest with my ship. ……However it will take some time before they come.”
“It will be our victory if the reinforcements come……we cannot really say that easily huh.”
“The other side also has the main force of China after all.”
……Was Germany’s main force really heading here?
Suddenly a doubt floated inside his head. Perhaps they wouldn’t come. If China’s main force arrived here first……surely Hrotsvit would make Kazuki’s group as a decoy and quickly retreated using <Skidbladnir>. When he noticed Hrotsvit had already gathered her ten elite knights causally at her side. What a really amazing cunningness.
Perhaps there was a need for him to hurry. Perhaps he should tear down either Ilyailiya or Fu Xi without giving a care to the damage.
But if he used up all his cards here, most likely Japan’s chances of victory would decrease drastically……
“Your face is stiffened you know?”
Hrotsvit whispered.
“Your Beatrix is also considerably exhausted yeah.”
Kazuki immediately talked back. Beatrix took charge of the close range combat and bore the brunt of Fu Xi’s [Kyuuryuu Shinkatou] continuously. The contractor of Thor shouldn’t be a light combat strength that could be easily used up before abandoned. Beatrix should be the most important card for Hrotsvit.
“……The opponent is Fu Xi. It cannot be helped.”
Hrotsvit’s forehead was also trickling cold sweat unpleasantly.
“Eei, Ilyailiya! Link up with our elites and crush the bunches at the top of the mountain!! Underhandedly aiming at us is unforgivable!!”
“Affirmative, we will retreat for the moment.”
When Ilyailiya replied like that, Fu Xi’s whole face became bright red in fury.
“Retreat you say!? Are you saying that you are turning your back to us!”
Even though it was herself who was ordering to go to the mountain, she reacted excessively to the word [retreat].
“I am not turning my back on you. While the whole army is retreating, You and I will shake off the opponent’s pursuit as the rear guard. That is not an act of turning my back to you.”
“Mu!? ……………Is that so! Tis’ no problem!!”
After Ilyailiya replied soothingly, Fu Xi accepted her explanation comparatively easily.
And then, Russia’s knight order began to retreat like the pulling back wave from a beach.
Fu Xi was standing at the end of the line in full vigor and wielded her might as the rear guard.
If Fu Xi was standing at the rear, then Japan too couldn’t possibly pursue recklessly.
Kazuki and the others moderately launched attack magic while seeing them off.
……Thus the first battle came to an end.
“Now then, what are we going to do from now on.”
Hrotsvit said. When the battle ended the arrows stopped coming.
“First it’s best for us to link up with your main force that still hasn’t arrived yet. After that we need to link up with Arthur.”
Kazuki was thinking that Hrotsvit might have reservation towards Britain, but Hrotsvit only nodded calmly saying “I guess so.”
It seemed that she was completely unconcerned with the incident at the British Museum.
“It seems that Britain is not together with Italia, so most likely Britain is moving independently. It would be dangerous for them if we don’t quickly link up.”
If Italia was together with Britain, then Arthur wouldn’t allow that kind of indiscriminate arrows. However, he was wondering for what reason Italia was acting like that.
“Was Italia thinking to make us into enemies firing their arrows like that, or did they think that if it’s me and Hrotsvit we would be able to deal with it, we don’t really understand that. Russia and China are heading to the mountain but, should we go help them or not……”
“They attacked in a way that let others know about their location and in such a manner that it can’t be helped if it was thought as indiscriminate, then surely they won’t mind even if they are left alone. They should have prepared a way to escape by themselves. Perhaps that mountain is full with traps. We also suffered damage, but with this China and Russia will be forced to exhaustion more than us.”
“……Ilyailiya seemed like she noticed the regularity of the arrows in the middle. Despite so she didn’t tell it to Fu Xi. She is also planning to act in a way that exhausted Fu Xi.”
Most likely after this Russia would move in a way that pushed the damage to China too.
Kazuki taught Hrotsvit about the [Direction Witch]. After they were able to link up with Germany like this, the string of red light was supposed to point at Britain without doubt right now.
Hrotsvit made a complicated face.
“……Your force is looking mediocre somewhat, but you have an exceptional magic that lets you move advantageously even in this situation isn’t it. It’s dangerous to think that it is only us who can steal a march like this.”
……In this situation, what kinds of moves and strategies were Britain and Loki using currently he wondered.
