Chapter 153: The Night of the First Day on the North Continent (2/2)
One person jumped and kicked by tearing through the soaring snow curtain. The opponent was a magician who assisted the body with physical strengthening techniques, although I put my shoulder to resist. I was blown through the wall into the airship.
”Gut … shit …!”
I held down my left shoulder.
When I was kicked, I guarded in a half bend position and resisted with the shoulder. Thanks to that, the AK47 didn't break, and my dominant arm was fine, but my left arm was numb, and I wouldn’t be able to use it well for a while.
”Lute-sama?”
When I was called out, I turned my gaze, Meiya was getting up from the bed in her sleepwear. The nightwear was like a yukata made of thin fabric. It's close to what we call a ‘Juban’ in my previous life. Perhaps because the fabric was thin, I could see her sharp limbs.
Furthermore, because she slept until a while ago, her white skin was exposed to the starlight with her hem and chest exposed, and it was strangely sexy.
After breaking through the wall, I got into a private room assigned to Meiya.
She was so excited that I could see it in the dark her face flushing face red. Then she held her cheeks with both hands.
”Lute-sama, I'm glad you're here this late at night! Oh, my first time will be taken here… Let’s mark this evening as an anniversary event that shines brilliantly in the history of Peacemaker and the New Pure Maiden Knights and pass it on to future generations! ”
”Meiya, stupid! You’re half asleep!”
While she was saying stupid lines, the enemy who kicked me off, the enemy in white full-body armor waved left and right. Blades popped out of the arms like a fish fin. It's not a magical device, but such a gimmick.
Because his face was covered with a tight full-face helmet, I did not know the expression, but I felt a strong murderous intention.
I pulled out a knife from my waist with my right arm and face him. Of course, physical support was provided by physical strengthening. The general vision is strengthened at the same time.
”Meiya is dangerous, so don't move from there and lie down… Ku!”
The enemy's right arm flashed.
As soon as I held the knife in my right hand, the opponent's left arm blade approached. I avoided it at the last minute. I tried to attack, but my opponent's arm was wielded, and I could only overcome the blade with a knife.
The opponent's right foot stuck into the flank.
”Ugh!”
I endured with guts and fought back, but the opponent easily avoided it. I was slowing down. I understood that the enemy's fighting skills were high, and the left arm is still numb and unusable.
(Shit, d*mn magicians… No, ‘the better the magician, the better the fighting skills and swordsmanship’, El-sensei once said.)
The enemy charged crossing his arms and sliced the blade like a guillotine. I inserted the knife between the neck and the blade to block it. Sparks scattered in the darkroom.
”Guu …”
The opponent put magical power on his arm and tried to cut off my neck.
I grabbed the knife with both hands and stopped the blade that the other person pushed in. Of course, I put magical power on both arms. However, my magical power was overwhelmingly smaller than my opponent. Endurance was only death.
I saw his eyes through the full-face helmet. There were no special feelings there. It's a murderous eye that didn't raise any special feelings.
I can be killed by such a guy!
”Shit!”
I put my foot between the enemy and me. I poured a little magical power into my leg and forcibly kicked to distance myself.
The ”H & K USP (9mm model) tactical” that hung from my waist was pulled out and fired! However, after all, it was a 9 mm. The opponent creates a shield and easily avoided it.
”Lute-kun! Are you okay !?”
The door opened and Snow rushed to help.
She immediately turned the AK47 towards the enemy and squeezed the trigger. The white enemy created a shield in a hurry, but his shoulder was injured by a power different from 9mm.
He escaped out of the hole I created.
”Sorry, I'm late for Lute-kun's support.”
”No, it's nice timing. Thank you Snow, please help me.”
When I picked up my AK47, I thanked Snow.
”First of all, let's go outside and join everyone. Let's go, Meiya.”
”If so, I'll change my clothes now.”
”There’s no time for that! Let’s go!”
I took Meiya's hand and dragged her from the bed and out through the hole. Snow followed afterward.
”Onii-chan, You’re safe. I’m glad.”
”I'm glad neither Lute nor Meiya were injured.”
”Sorry, young master. I noticed the enemy's approach too late, and you have to take the initiative …”
As soon as we got out of the hole, Chris, Liz, and Shia called out. Everyone was holding their weapons in their hands.
I also replaced the empty magazine with a new one.
”Don't worry, Shia, I'm glad everyone was safe. What's the situation here?”
”Yes, there are three attackers. There was no damage here, but I couldn't kill the opponent. They are a lot of skillful magicians who can't even get caught by our own senses.”
”There was no particular damage here either. There were three attackers, all magicians.”
(In other words, there are 6 people in all… There may be other reserve forces waiting.)
”What are we going to do? Do we fly the airship and leave here?”
”No, the opponents are magicians. If we are shot down while flying, the damage will be bigger. For the time being, everyone will be alert until the morning.
The magical power was so dense that even I, who was not a magician, could understand it.
When I turned my eyes, six assailants gathered and focused their consciousness. It's probably non-chanting magic because they didn't raise their voice.
However, the non-chanting magic is slower than the normal magic method, its power is reduced, and it consumes a lot of magic power. It is a technology full of disadvantages. However, there are many situations in which ordinary magic cannot be used when voice cannot be produced.
The assailants didn't want us to hear even the slightest voice. The problem was that six sorcerers were trying to cast non-chanting magic at the same time.
Only one would not very powerful, but if six people increased their power by adjusting the timing like one human being…
It was already on the verge of activation. I didn't even have time to fire the AK47 and get in the way. Why didn't I notice until this happened!??
”Everyone! Run away! Evacuate the airship!”
Snow and the others started running at the same time as I shouted. Snow jumped off the airship with Chris and Shia with Liz.
I took Meiya's hand and evacuated after them. Almost at the same time, the magic was completed.
A fire magic fire landed on the deck where we were. It exploded, the pillar of fire raised high, and the flame wrapped around the airship.
The first day of arrival in the North Continent began in this way.
