Volume 6 - Chapter 3 – Part 4 (1/2)
“Will shi+n and the others be alright?”
After shi+n’s party left, Lilishi+la’s group aiting in her room
In the current situation, even if they acted, they wouldn’t accomplish much As it was unthinkable that only Eline was under Bulk’s coerous
Waiting without doing anything, though, was painful not only for Lilishi+la, but also for the knights at her side
“shi+n and Yuki will not have any trouble even if they face Eline head on What we should worry about is theLilishi+la’s worries aside, shi+baid leant against the wall of the corridor leading to the entrance His words were filled with the absolute trust he felt towards shi+n
Not knowing that shi+n was a High Huht of a head-on battle against Eline Eline’s fighting ability was just that great
“Well then, it appears it is time for us to move too”
Less than an hour since shi+n’s party left, shi+baid spoke while staring at one point in the rooroup of people walking in this direction Judging fro their hostile intentions, they must be Bulk’s lackeys”
shi+baid’s words made Lilishi+la feel more anxious
On her side there were 4 people, shi+baid included Even if they were all coht be at an overwhele
shi+baid’s party left the rooot out, there was a group of people heading towards theroup was none other than Bulk hi now?”
“Nowhere that ies, but I do have business with Lady Lilishi+la If you would kindly accohness the Holy Woman would be pleased as well ”
“Kh…!”
The sly grin foroosebumps
If it was possible, she would have crushed hiround, then and there Her clenched fist and teeth expressed that wish very clearly to anyone ould look at her
Someone then put a hand on Lilishi+la’s shoulder
“Lady Lilishi+la, it appears you do not need to acco fellohere anymore”
“But…could it be that…!!”
Lilishi+la, who had understood the ed her expression
“Yes, I just received contact fro here as we speak”
shi+baid nodded strongly, and not only Lilishi+la but also the knights erupted in cheers At the sa their way
“W-what’s with those looks? Have you forgotten what it et Or rather, it’s iet”
Lilishi+la could not contain a chuckle, as her body rapped in highly densefro, drew his weapon and stepped forward
Those behind hi! Protect ? It can’t be, you too…?”
Looking at the knights before her, Lilishi+la too said that naht that was dispatched to Balic, he was not supposed to be here at Palize”
“Do not apologize I a, who had stepped forward as well, showed eyes clearly filled with regret
His struggle to stop the body that was ainst his as palpable to Lilishi+la, as also well versed in the ways of fighting
His regret was felt by the people opposing hi of you…! Or I will cut you down…!”
Konig’s arms slowly reached the blade at his waist The brilliantly decorated weapon was the legend-class ical sword 『Haufer』
『Haufer』, unsheathed with a brilliant sound of leam, in utter contrast with its owner’s will
“Is that a real ical blade, an overwhel’s body, as if to crush his opponents Despite his th did not waver an inch
Lilishi+la’s party, as prepared to fight, could not help stiffening before Konig’s presence
“Ha-hahaha What happened to all your confidence and boasting?”
Noticing Lilishi+la’s party’s hesitation, Bulk had regained his coht behind Konig
None of the’s aura of pressure
“Well then, I suppose we should start by stopping this man”
These nonchalant words were spoken by shi+baid
His equipht gear covering only part of his body
The only difference was the silver-colored gauntlet he was noearing Lines of black rain covered the whole iteinal pieces of equip is one of the most capable upper class chosen ones If I were you, I would not boast so quickly”
Bulk, enjoying the view of Lilishi+la’s party being pressured by Konig, bit back at shi+baid
To Bulk, it looked like shi+baid was just bluffing
“You petty scuered only Lady Lilishi+la”
As shi+baid uttered those words, the pressure bearing on Lilishi+la’s party suddenly vanished
Ied targets, the knights standing before Bulk kneeled to the ground
They looked as if an unseen giant was pushi+ng on theah…!”
The sight of his knights groveling had shaken Bulk, who too was forced on his knees slightly later
A pressure so strong, trained knights succumbed to it: it was iround like a flattened frog
Originally, techniques that pressure the opponent with one’s aura or spirit did not have the effect of pushi+ng the opponent down physically The pressure was felt simply on an emotional level
However, in shi+baid’s case it was slightly different
“I have heard of all your despicable acts You will not escapevoice shook Bulk’s eardru frorew even more intense
At the sa
shi+baid’s ht Its role is to be an iron wall, a shi+eld to repel enemy attacks
If ere to compare skills that attracts the enemy’s attention and pressure enemies into sub all the support characters
Against enees to pressure the…?”
Konig, the only one of Bulk’s entourage still on his feet, looked at shi+baid with disbelief in his eyes
Konig felt that Paler
“I know you are being controlled, Sir Konig As I have no way to break that collar, I will have to be soh…I trust you will understand”
“…I would rather be killed than for my blade to slay those without sin”
“Your spirit is truly commendable”
shi+baid’s words provoked an explosive acceleration in Konig’s s painted streaks of light in the air
As a weapon worthy of its “Legendary” grade, 『Haufer』 sliced through the air with little resistance, ai at shi+baid’s neck
It all happened in an instant
Being controlled allowed Konig to perfor at his ht before auntlet
“!?!”
A sharp ainst the gauntlet
The shock of the impact and the difference in quality between the teapons resulted in only 『Haufer』 to be da wide-eyed and speechless
Iauntlet, which had stopped 『Haufer』, vanished in thin air, together with shi+baid himself
“…Go to sleep”
The instant those words reached Konig’s ears, he was already drawing his blade…only to be hit vertically into the air
Where Konig was standing just before, now stood shi+baid, his fist raised in the air The ar’s life so many times on the battlefield now bore a deep dent in the shape of shi+baid’s fist
Konig, blown in hly the sa his blade
“Gwah!!”
A counter perforle bloas enough for Konig’s body not to follow its ’s chest was not surprise
Towards the existence of an overwhel with upper class chosen ones with ease, who did not accept or forgive evil
Towards the fact that a person like that appeared before hi these words, Konig lost consciousness
“If you lose consciousness, you cannot move even under manipulation, is that it?”
shi+baid went closer to Konig’s body and confirth had left it
As he did not kno the control worked, shi+baid put restrains on him to be sure
“I cahn’t, beliive it…”
Watching Konig be defeated so easily left Bulk flabbergasted
The other knights too seeerous an ene to craay to safety
“Lady Lilishi+la, could I ask for your help in restraining them?”
“Of course”
shi+baid captured the higher-leveled knights, while Lilishi+la took care of the rest Bulk tried to flee too, but he was obviously captured as well
“H-how dare you treat me like this!!”
“Your subordinate in the other room has been defeated already, did you know?”
Bulk was cut off as he was trying to talk shi+baid informed him about Eline’s capture and Hermie and Millie’s rescue
Bulk’s expression was one of utter shock Considering that Lilishi+la’s party turned against hi the truth
They did not need to endure humiliation to protect the controlled ones any more
There wasn’t a reason anymore not to oppose him directly
“You have done as you pleased er within her, a heat haze was surrounding Lilishi+la as she walked towards Bulk
Her beautiful features hid a strong aura projecting a “I will beat you till you’re an inch away from death!!” vibe, was abundantly clear to anyone ould look at her
Her pressure was so fierce that even the valiant knights present stepped back
“I-I don’t deserve to die in a place like this!! Teleport!!!”
Under the weight of Lilishi+la’s pressure, Bulk frantically chanted the keyword
It was the same teleport crystal stone that shi+n had used before
“No! Wai-”
Bulk disappeared before Lilishi+la could prevent it It was as if he never was there in the first place
“Kh…! To think that he had a teleport crystal stone that was supposed to be lost…!”
Lilishi+la’s expression was distorted by regret The other knights too were left stupefied by Bulk’s sudden disappearance
Differently fron of apprehension
“Do not fret, Lady Lilishi+la Bulk hasn’t escaped us yet”
“But he already coh Human’s – Cain’s – base A crystal with such low purity can’t teleport outside its walls”
“I-is that really true?”
“I have lived my share, you see I have had the chance to learn about this Pal trying to escape right now”
shi+baid nodded with confidence, which let Lilishi+la feel at ease
Some time later Lilishi+la, who had reunited with Her akin to Bulk’s screams reached her ears
◆◆◆◆
“Your co Lilishi+la’s party while the main force is headed to the Holy Woman Thatopponent in wait for the will be accompanied by other upper class chosen ones! No ht be, they too surely have their li, a warrior close to Eline in ability, was heading to Lilishi+la’s location shi+n did not know Konig very well, but he was not worried in the slightest about the possibility of shi+baid’s defeat
“If that Konig is close to you in terth, as you say, then it will be child’s play”
Even if there was another chosen one on the same level as Eline, shi+baid would not have trouble defeating him It was a definite fact
shi+n spared no expense to reinforce his support characters, his companions were not to be trifled with
“Well then, now that you know that there is no way left to stop us, let us talk about what to do with you”
“Eek!”
shi+n walked closer to Eline, slowly The latter, re the punishment he had just received, let out a cry and tried to flee
No matter how h time had passed for him to recover The type of movement available to him was on all fours at most
Maybe because all he had in mind was to run away as fast as possible, Eline crawled aith a speed shi+n and Wilhelm did not expect He could not truly escape, obviously shi+n gradually closed in on the distance between the to a chosen existence such as I!!!”
As if he failed to grasp his current situation, Eline wassenseless words
Eline had advanced for severalwildly, with jerky moveoing on?”
shi+n was puzzled at Eline’s sudden strange ah…why? N-no…NOOOOOOOO!!!”
Eline screa so a short sith a black blade in his hand After that, right before shi+n and Wilhelm’s eyes, Eline stabbed himself with that same blade
“What the!?”
