48 [41] Crisis of the Kingdom of Humanion ④ ~ Cunaria VS Listiane ~.txt (1/2)

The sound of metal striking each other violently could be heard incessantly.

The ones who are hitting each other to the extent that sparks are scattered all around them are Kounaria, a girl of small stature and wielding a large axe twice as tall as her own height, and Ristiane, the female knight of the Humane Kingdom, who has empty eyes like a ghost, but does not try to hide her anger.

Although Kounaria is superior in terms of the length of its benefits, Ristiane ignores defense and evasion against attacks other than slashing and rushing in, so she is not able to take advantage of that advantage very well.

In addition, it seems that he or she doesn't feel any pain, just as he or she was unconcerned even after receiving Vilm's fist a short time ago, and he or she doesn't show any signs of being frightened, so Kunaria is also struggling to attack.

”Sassato, sotto voce!

'No! I'm not going through here!

This is already the first time they've exchanged several times.

He uses his great axe's reach well to block the path of Ristiane, who is trying to force his way through with a discarded stance, and pushes back with a force that doesn't suit his small stature.

If they can't break through and launch an offensive, if they can't break through, then it will be an all-out strike, so the army goes to Kounaria, who uses the Vilm style body enhancement technique.

The fact that they couldn't force their way through and couldn't defeat anyone who got in their way, Listianne gradually increased her anger voltage.

In contrast, Cunaria calmly observes Ristiane's movements and fights while anticipating her.

Compared to the movements of the seemingly unpredictable master (Virum) that she receives in her daily training, it probably isn't difficult to read the movements of Listiaane, who has lost her sanity and can't even make a decent decision.

''Guh! Hurry up, Nevaeh. I don't want to tell you that you're in danger, Princess. I don't know what that bastard will do to me while I'm gone!

'The Master has gone to help Master Lumeria! Please don't speak ill of your master based on your own assumptions!

”He is not cursed to bring in trouble! I don't know why you don't know why you're here!

'Master saved me and Mel, who were about to be enslaved! It was your teacher who helped me heal my body, which was hard to do even with a little exercise! I can be a bit brusque, but I'm not that dangerous!

The normally quiet Cunaria is raising her voice unusually loudly, probably out of frustration at Listiane, who doesn't even try to understand her own respected teacher (Virm) just because her hair and eyes are black (which fits the condition of an abomination).

'Annoying! You can't trust her, Miko! You have to save the princess, and I will save you. I don't want to be a part of this!

In contrast, Listiane refuses to acknowledge Wilm's stubborn refusal to acknowledge her as a ”dangerous abomination,” perhaps because of her ”dangerous abomination,” but if anything, it's more a response to the fact that her madly beloved master (Lumeria) has no small amount of affection for Wilm. Jealousy is stronger.

Furthermore, Virum has the ability to easily twist even himself (Ristiane), who is said to be the best in the kingdom, and the feeling of anxiety that he will lose his master (Lumeria) if he doesn't do something about it also contributes to his jealousy (that).

Listiane, frustrated by the perpetually parallel conversation, numbly charged at Kunalia again.

Wielding her long sword, she strikes more than she had attacked earlier, but her accuracy and power are significantly reduced.

Listyanne's body, which had been continuously exerting the maximum amount of power a human could produce with her brain and body limiter off for a long time, had already begun to break down.

The body was ravaged by high fever due to overuse of the body beyond its limits, muscle fibers were torn in many places, and there were not a few places where bones were cracked.

But even so, the reason why Ristiane is able to move is because she is unable to detect any physical abnormality because her sense of pain has been paralyzed.

Of course, Cunaria is also aware of Ristiane's abnormality.

The feverish body is dyed red to the point that it does not match the empty eyes, and in addition to the movement that became slow all at once, it is strange to see her suddenly lose her balance as if she had lost her strength and not notice anything.

Naturally, in such a state, the body will not listen to what she says against her will.

Ristiane, who tries to move forward while staggering, doesn't feel the slightest bit of the sharpness from earlier, and finally dropped her own beloved sword.

”Princess, princess, I don't want to be a part of this...

'Isn't Lady Lumeria, not Lady Listy, in need of Lady Lumeria?

What, Dato...?

The extreme fatigue and fever have flooded Ristiane, who is delirious, and Cunaria puts into words exactly what she feels.

I've only known Listi-san for the past few days. But the actions that Listi-san took for the sake of the princess are not doing Lady Lumelia any favors. It's all just Listi's smugness.
