Chapters Chapter 207: The Imperial Princess (1/2)

It was an ancient, long-forgotten spell.

Metamorphosis!

A spell created by magicians to overcome their weak physical status, metamorphosis was a super high-ranked skill even for the best of the ancient magicians.

It was because only those who could use metamorphosis could achieve a perfect balance of both physical and magical abilities.

Sssssss….!

The Imperial Princess, enveloped in rainbow light, started emitting an immense amount of energy.

The transformation began from her physique.

Her b.r.e.a.s.ts enlarged, and her legs became long and slender.

Her waist became slim, and her arms became longer.

Her buttocks were as firm as that of a grown-up’s, and her h.i.p.s widened accordingly.

Arshelly, who was barely 140 centimetres before, instantly grew to 165 centimetres.

Swirl!

Arshelly’s hair also changed.

Her beautiful black hair grew long enough to cover her back, forming a princess cut hairstyle.

Transformation!

Yes, that was indeed a transformation.

In order to overcome her weakness of having a child’s body and to fight to 100% of her abilities, she forced her body to mature instantly.

In other words, Arshelly had awakened as an Arch knight, the final form of a magic knight!

Sararaak!

Arshelly finally completed her transformation and landed on the ground.

“My Princess…!”

“Goodness me!”

“Oh wow….”

“Oh my god!”

The maids who witnessed the whole process were flabbergasted. They directly collapsed on their knees.

The sudden transformation was indeed shocking, but the beauty of the matured Arshelly was just incomparable.

A pretty face along with a perfect body.

If Arshelly was just a cute ten year old before transformation, now she was a beautiful grown-up lady.

She was probably 17 or 18 years old… Being in Pangea, she did look more mature than her age, however.

“I will protect everyone.” Arshelly the arch knight clenched her two fists.

In her ruby-like red pupils, there laid a great resolve to protect the things that mattered to her.

“I will be back. Please hide yourselves.” Arshelly began to leave after saying these words.

“P-Princess!” The oldest, and the most experienced maid grabbed Arshelly.

“Please don’t!”

“Huh?”

“Please do not go there!!!”

Was she worried about the Princess’ safety?

The maid struggled to stop Arshelly with all her might.

She was determined to not let Arshelly go, regardless of what it took.

“I have to go!”

Arshelly raised her voice.

“If I don’t go now, many more people will die! I can’t just stand here watching!”

Every second was precious to her.

At this very moment, Rothschild could be killing many more people. For Arshelly who just awakened, she was feeling anxious!

“Even so, you can’t go!”

The head maid stopped Arshelly once again.

“My dear Princess, the head maid is right!”

“Please heed the words of the head maid!”

“Yes, my Princess!”

The other maids also agreed to the head maid’s words.

They even stretched their arms to hinder Arshelly from going forward.

“Move!” Arshelly frowned.

“I know you are worried about me, but I’m not weak! I can defeat the bad guys alone….”

“Princess!”

“...!”

“Didn’t we tell you to never ever go after Rothschild!?” The head maid’s thundering cry cut Arshelly’s speech off abruptly.

“In that case....”

Arshelly bit her lips slightly and said, “Well then, there’s no choice! Please don’t resent me!”

“P-Princess!”

“When father is not around, it is my duty as the Princess to protect the Great Fortress Laputa!”

Befitting of Kang Chul-In’s daughter, she had a great sense of responsibility. She was determined to even use force if the maids continued to stop her.

“Hu….” The head maid let out a big sigh.

“My dear princess… We are not stopping you out of concern for your safety.”

“…?”

“Well it is certainly true that we are worried about your safety, but it is a battlefield. Why would we stop you from fulfilling your duties as the Princess?”

“T-Then why…!?”

The head maid shook her head and spoke the truth.

“My Princess….”

“Yes?”

“Armor aside… Don’t you at least need to wear some clothes…?”

“What do you mean?”

Arshelly seemed confused.

“… Your rapid growth caused all your clothes to be torn apart.”

The head maid closed her eyes and spoke to her.

“R-Really?” Arshelly, startled, glanced quickly at herself.

“Kyaaaaaa!” She let out a cute scream.

She was totally n.a.k.e.d, just like what the head maid had told her.

It turned out that metamorphosis, although it was powerful enough to upgrade the user’s physical abilities to the maximum, had no effect on clothes.

***

The Laputan army managed to take over two peaks and advanced to within 2 kilometres of the final peak within a short time period of 2 hours since the first battle.

But that was no surprise.

The soldiers of Laputa received harsh training daily and were hence armed with a robust military mentality. They became bloodthirsty monsters on the battlefield, chasing away the enemy allied forces.

Part of the credit also went to the enemy’s poor defense.

“Bombardment squad, ready!” Kang Chul-In ordered, with the third peak in sight. There were 12 magic engineered artillery in total, which amongst eight were Lee Chae-Rin’s.

He planned to bomb the enemy’s base before the battle for high ground.

“Ready!”

“Start charging!”
