Chapter 116 - Senior Holy Knight and Sunny Land [7] (2/2)

A black cloak was worn on top of white noble clothes. And a pattern which I have seen somewhere before, was stitched in blue on his cloak.

Rain glanced around and for some reason, hardened when he saw me.

「…I see. You’re the “special class force” classified by the organization – Allen Rodore. Indeed, you solely are outstanding.」

He immediately guessed my name. Perhaps information about my appearance is circulating within the organization.

「…And next to you is Ria Vesteria, right?」

And it was the same with Ria.

We gulped, understanding that an international large-scale criminal organization that disturbs world peace – have their sights on us.

「『Phantom Spirit』and『Special Class Force』- This much should be enough.」he said, not making any sense

「Hey, you guys… I’ll let you escape, so – why don’t you give Allen and Ria to me?」

He offered a nonsensical deal.

「…Hah. What a funny joke from a man with an unsociable face!」Ben-san laughed scornfully.

Rain simply shook his head.

「This is not a joke. I’m already… I’m really tired of this. I don’t want to kill pointlessly.」

He sighed loudly, and went on talking further.

「Hey, please just understand, okay…? No matter how many of you『insects』gather, you can’t beat me.」

There was no lie or falsehood in his remark.

(…That’s quite the confidence.)

A scale of one hundred senior Holy Knights, and yet – he seemed to be confident of『absolutely victory』against this army.

「Insects, huh… Seems like we’re being underestimated too much…」

As a vein popped on Ben-san’s forehead, he quickly signalled me with his eyes.

Seems like we’re getting started.

「Hammer-in〈Tree Seed〉!」

Ben-san deployed his soul dress and drew Rain’s attention single handedly – we carried out a『Surprise Tactic』.

「Invade -〈Fafnir〉!」

「Dye -〈Winter Sakura〉!」

「Melt -〈Acid Staff〉!」

Ria, Rose – and many other senior Holy Knights moved to surround Rain and deployed their soul dress.

Following that,

「-Dark Box!」

I unleashed a tremendous amount of darkness and confined Rain in a black sphere.

Immediately after that,

「-Dragon Breath!」

「-Sakura Blizzard!」

「-Acid Ocean!」

All of them poured their spiritual power into their attacks and fired long-range attacks with all their might.

(Yoshi, this decides it…!)

My『darkness』completely blocks light and sound.

Being on the receiving end of an all-out attack from a hundred people, while in a state of inhibited vision and hearing.

Regardless of being one of the Thirteen Knights of the Oracle, even he would be helpless.

That’s when I felt a “certain” reaction.

「Wear -〈Last Drop〉」

For some reason an intense chill ran down my spine.

(What… is this sensation…!?)

I don’t know what he did or what he’s going to do.

However, my sixth sense screamed a piercing warning.

(–Something is coming! I must do something.)

Thus, I cancelled the Dark Box of my own judgement.

「Wha, Allen?!」

Ben-san widened his eyes due to my out-of-operation action. At that moment, our whole field of view was filled with arrows made of clear water.

「-Fallen Drop」

Each shot of the water arrows easily overpowered, and bore through the all-out long-range attacks which everyone unleashed.

「No, way…!」

「What… the hell…!」

「Shit…」

Ria, Rose, and Ben-san – their faces were dyed with fright.

「-MAKE IT IN TIME!」

I poured all my spiritual power, and clad everyone in clothes of darkness.

As a result,

「…Hou, that was a good decision.」

I was able to clad everyone in clothes of darkness at the very last minute.

「We’re saved…?」

Someone’s whisper echoed loudly.

「That was dangerous…」

「If it had not been for the『clothes of darkness』, we would have been done in.」

Ria and Rose turned pale

「S-Sorry… You saved us, Allen.」

Ben-san thanked me, cold sweat trickling down his forehead.

「Haa… haa… No, I’m just glad everyone is save.」

Having exhausted a large amount of spiritual power at once, I kept to Seigan no Kamae.

「Hmm… Allen Rodore. You are the only one who seems to be different from the rest, after all.」Rain said, a long-sword-like soul dress grasped in his right hand.

This was how the curtain raised on the battle between us and one of the Thirteen Knights of the Oracle, Rain Glad.
