Chapter 70 (2/2)

I say and show the Soul Absorption Necklace on my neck. However, Elfion shook his head.

“I suppose it is true that your magic power increases thanks to that, but that should also be cursed. Aruji-dono, who is sustaining that and remaining composed, is admirable”

……I'm somehow being praised terribly much though, is there something to it? As I'm looking with slightly doubtful eyes

“What, I just thought that I am glad that I responded to your voice. Even amongst us Demihumans, the Elf is a race that lives for several hundred years even at the very least. It is just that although I unconsciously become unfeeling as I age, I got unbecomingly excited for my age”

‘Fuu', Elfion who made a smile and headed inside the Empire soldiers as it is. A good-looking guy is cool no matter what face he makes huh, oi. Well, whatever. It's useless even if I'm jealous. I'll go as well.

I make 10 short swords flutter around me and enter the inside of the Empire Army as well. I usually make it so that they react half-automatically because I'm afraid of surprise attacks, but I'll make all of them move on my will.

The zombies that arise one after another; the Living Dead Army that possesses the strength that is in a different league than the other dead spirits; Liscia, Elfion, Relcend and Lo, my subordinates who possess the strength that easily surpa.s.ses that.

The Empire Army's front line that's attacked incessantly by them is in such a horrible state that it no longer maintained the file's original formation. That after-effect spreads to the Empire soldiers who are behind. I proceed inside in order to make that after-effect bigger.

At the same time as that, explosions due to magic occur on both sides. It's the Demihumans who cast magic from the side. I guess it should be effective if it's now when they're restless and ready to flee. I guess I'll also go with the flow.

I move the short swords that dance in the air with my will and tear the Empire soldiers to pieces. It's harder to move it than when it's on automatic, but this is also good in its own way. I can aim where I want to aim.

I control two short swords to one, I pierce somewhere on their legs to stop their movements, create an opening, and aggressively cut their necks. I stab their hands that held the sword and tear apart their face. Un, it feels good.

I spin the short swords around myself, at the soldiers, who try to encircle and approach me. By the short swords that go around like they're drawing a circle, their swords are broken, their s.h.i.+elds are pierced, and they die one after another,

“UOooo! Die!”

a soldier, who's a size bigger than the other soldiers, carries a mace and approaches, but I release 5 short swords. He tries to block them with his s.h.i.+eld, but naturally, they penetrate it and air holes open up on the soldier's body as well.

The Empire soldiers surround me. But perhaps they're fearful of me, they kept a distance and won't come closer. In the next instant when I thought that I'll be the one to initiate, something descended from the sky. I jump back from that spot, and the thing that descended, a man who carried several swords on his back, was looking at me and a.s.suming his stance.

“Empire Army, Sword Saint Suzaku1. Arrives”

……Something appeared.

Suzaku: スザク. It means Vermilion Bird, one of the Four Symbols of the Chinese constellations
