190 Botis Poison (1/2)

Shirone the Maiden of Swords

'Nonsense!　You're moving better?

Zafarada, the princess of fresh blood, screamed in the air.

At first, Zafarada had the upper hand, but once I and the silver-haired Kuna with white hair got better at coordinating our efforts, the form reversed.

We're in the middle of flying and fighting over the forest.

''You!''

A red light, emitted from Zafarada, flies towards me.

However, that red flash is blocked by the magical shield made by Kuna.

In the meantime, I closed the distance and slashed at Zafarada.

Naturally, I am caught by the claws.

Zafarada's power is stronger than mine and his movements are faster than mine.

So if I continue to fight him head-on, I'll eventually lose.

But it won't happen.

Kuna, the silver-haired white-haired child who has transitioned with a glowing butterfly, attacks Zafarada's rear by surprise.

Of course, this is not an opponent that can be defeated by that.

Zafarada's red bat wings prevent Kuna's scythe, but there's an opening there.

''Silone!''

I know!　The Heavenly Winged Slaying Demon Sword!

Answering Kuna's call, I hold the sword on my shoulder and rotate my body to deliver a desperate blow.

Of course, my claws prevent me from doing so, but I swing straight through!

The sword slashes through the claws and cuts through Zafarada's body.

''Ughhhh!''

Irresistibly, Zafarada moved away from us.

We couldn't defeat her, but she still managed to do quite a bit of damage.

She shoots out a red mist from her body, preventing us from getting close.

That fog is tricky.

It has the effect of sucking the life out of the surrounding creatures and restoring Zafarada.

That's why Kuna and I attack while blowing away the red mist with magic.

However, since it's while blowing it away, the attack is delayed.

In the meantime, Zafarada recovers.

The battle goes like this.

We have the upper hand, but we can't defeat Zafarada.

In the meantime, the forest is a mess.

We want to get rid of them quickly, but what should we do?

Sirone. Looks like we have a winner.

Cuna says something like that when I'm distressed.

Kuna is looking in a certain direction.

Out of the corner of her eye, she sees something huge.

It's a huge deer with golden horns.

'That's the deer god of the forest!　You came out!

Zafarada exclaims.

Kellununnos, the deer god of the forest, is the deer god of Kellunea.

He is quiet and doesn't usually come out of the woods.

It is said that he controls the seasons, and when his antlers fall off, winter begins, and when his antlers begin to grow again, it is spring.

The fact that the quiet deer god comes out in the open seems to indicate that he is very angry with Zafarada.

And if you look closely, you can see the trees moving in the forest.

It seems that the green men (green men) have also come to join us.

Many arrows of light fly from the horns of Kellununnos and attack Zafarada.

Zafarada is unable to prevent them and takes damage.

Apparently, the Deer God is pretty strong.

The wind blows as the Green Men (Green Man) and the others glow green and blow away the red mist.

This made it difficult for Zafarada to recover.

'You've lost, Zafarada. The originally neutral ones are coming out.

Coona shouts.

I look around the battlefield and see that the orcs have fallen and the goblins are fleeing.

Even in the heavens, the serpent princes seem to be starting to retreat.

It would be impossible for Zafarada to continue fighting in this situation.

''Hmph, not yet. Botis's venom is still there!　You guys are going to have to watch the resurrection of the wesen with your fingers in your mouths!

When I say that, Zafarada moves away from us with great speed.

He seems to have escaped.

'What do you mean by Botis poison?'

I nod my head.

'That's probably the one you're talking about, Silone.

Coona looks towards the scythe pointed at him.

A certain part of the forest is covered by what looks like a glowing dome.

That part of the forest must have been home to a dwarf village.

''What the hell was that!''

I don't know. But I don't think they're done with you.

I nodded at Kuna's words.

For now, let's meet up with Chiyuki and the others.

◆Chiyuki, the black-haired wise man.

Botis leaves.

We meet up at the fort of Carthaghov.

The orcs and goblins on the ground have fled.

Up in the sky, the serpent prince has retreated.

In other words, we've won.

As it should be: .......

Even the angels can't seem to break those wards, can they, Mr. Chiyuki?

I nod to Reno.

The magical images show the angels trying to break the wards, but it's not working.

'Yes, Reno. The serpent princes' target is the dwarf village. The attack on the elven city was all just a stepping stone to set up that ward.

You're right, but isn't that pointless?　It's true that rescue is difficult, but even the enemy can't send enough troops to attack,

All those present looked at each other at Nao's words.

Indeed, Nao is right.

There is no indication that the serpent prince has sent enough troops towards the dwarf village to drop it.

There are only wolves.

The dwarves have sent a large number of troops to the elven city as relief, but I hear that they still have quite a bit of strength left.

If it was only the wolves, they should be able to defend it.

It was at that time.

Suddenly the forest seemed to shake.

'What?　Now?

When he returns, Shirone stands up in surprise.

'Powerful waves!　The Wesen is about to wake up!

Nia, who was at his side, also had a surprised look on her face.

Along with the wave motion, I thought I heard the roar of a wolf.

This is despite being blocked by the wards.

''Ko, isn't this tasteless?''

Nao, who had been watching the video, spoke up.

'Don't wince, boys. There's nothing to worry about. It's true that the snakes must have been doing something. But they must have miscalculated, too. That there is the strongest wall in there.

Coona, the silver-haired child, looks at the wards and laughs.

She doesn't seem to be worried.

What does that mean?

I was looking at the wards.

Dark Knight Kroki.

Suddenly a ward was formed and they found themselves trapped.

And it seems that a pack of werewolves is coming towards the dwarven village.

Myself and the dwarves decide to gather in the conference room to discuss the situation.
