Chapter 1, Episode 24: Chaos

The battlefield is the epitome of chaos

Though it is still h into the sky is covered by clouds and cannot be seen

Below, there is an arroup of black cavalrymen who are far inferior in numbers

The loud beating of the hooves against the earth drowns out the screa in on enemy headquarters

However, s down from the cloud filled sky, and so their speed had dropped

In no tier and the rain begins to pour down even harder

The rain soaked into the ground and cohts」

The brown haired aide, Alfred, spoke to his superior as riding alongside him

「Lady Aura! What do we do?!」

「The eneht before us We will take his head and withdraw We will escape all the way to the fort」

「Is that our only option…?」

「I will not fixate on it If it seems impossible, ithdraw immediately」

「Yes!」

Aura gazes at the eneeneral's location

The rain is obstructing her field of vision, but she desperately strains her eyes in order to secure a victory

She doesn't even take notice of the ene knocked down by her horse's armor She simply keeps her eyes fixed on the enemy's headquarters

There are soldiers pointing her way looking panicked

There are others whose faces are twisted in fear

There are more still who lie in ith animal like expressions

None of the for She removes them all from her field of view—

Then, as if guided by a ray of light, she successfully captures her target with her eyes

「I've found him Viscount Spitz, follow me!!」

In a rare display, Aura raised her voice

And that wasn't all She valiantly raised her spirit weapon and kicked her horse's belly

Alfred gulped while frozen in amazement

However, he quickly gathers himself and runs after Aura at full speed

He switches from his sword to his spear

「Ihts! Follow our 「Mars's」 lead!」

He yelled out in a thunderous voice that shook the heart

Without saying a word, the knights replied with a spirit driven offensive

They begin to slaughter the eneh into the sky as they send theraves, one after another

Aura could feel their fighting spirit fro passion in their hands which were chilled from the rain

Aura, with the divine protection of her spirit weapon, begins to cut down the ene their commander

The enean to keep their distance so as not to be trampled by the hooves

In the end, they are sin nation in search of slaves

If there is no great cause, there is no aivable for such men to trample over the territory of the Great Empire

「Let us offer this victory to his Majesty, Schwarz」

Aura stood right before the enemy commander There was shock and despair in his face

The blade of Aura's spirit weapon dug into his neck As an eerie sensation travels to her hand, she uses the

The eneround as it is covered in mud

The large, lifeless body falls After seeing that it was all over, Aura thrust her spirit weapon high into the sky

「The eneeneral has been defeated!」

Cheers erupt from her allies behind her, and unrest seeps out from the enemies around them

She suppresses her sense of elation and stiffens up her loosening expression

「Viscount Spitz! Retrieve the head immediately!」

Killing the ene this battle

If the fact of his death is kept secret, they will have to continue to face almost 10,000 enemies

They eneral's head and display it to the entire battlefield

「What—?!」

Aura, who had turned back, ide eyed in shock

What leapt into vieas an i up and picking up his own head

A sense of dread travels all throughout Aura's body How is helost his head? This is no human

Aura's decision was quick The only word that came to her mind ithdraw”

She stiffened her throat and yelled out, almost in a shriek

「Viscount Spitz! Withd—!」

She was unable to finish her sentence

Having reattached his head, the eneed at Aura eapon in hand

She iht her spirit weapon in front of her and repelled his attack creating a high pitched sound The young girl's sently in the air

Then, with great force, she turound as she was covered in mud

Her horse lost its head, armor and all A spray of blood rose up from where the head was severed, and the body collapsed to the side

While glaring at Aura, as perfectly still, the ht on any one spot

『Get off your high horse, little girl』

He placed a flashy, jewel encrusted spear on his shoulder, and approached the young girl in long strides

「Lady Aura!」

Alfred races towards her, pulls out a spear froe man

「What?!」

Alfred is raised up, then slaround

As he hits the ground, a spray of water splashes all around, but you can hardly tell with the downpour of the rain

While he is a suffering, unable to breathe, he his struck with the spear handle

It coe amounts of blood

One heavy cavalry adjutant

「Urahh—!」

A spear quite effortlessly pierces through his face, and the now lifeless soldier falls off from atop his horse

Alfred was saved by the death of one valiant soldier

But, perhaps because he had lost consciousness, his head points toward the sky, and the rain beating down on it spreads his blood all across his face

Then, Aura finally staggers up to her feet

She holds her left arles Mud drips down from her sleeves

It's broken The fact that her expression is taken over by the pain is proof of it

「… A spirit weapon?」

With her unsteady eyes, Aura looked at the spear which the large rabbed

(But even if it is… how does that explain the change in this man?)

Spirit weapons have no such divine protection which heals the wound of a beheaded man

If such a miracle were to occur, it would be the work of a spirit sith a spirit dwelling within it, or—

(It's possible that it's one of the Five Great Treasured Swords… But no matter how you look at it, that's a spirit weapon)

While she was lost in thought, the ene her
