Chapter 46 - Volume 3 (2/2)

Speaking with a relaxed voice, Nia rushed out ahead of the Holy Knights, and stopped 【His] attack with the Golden Blade (Nyanko Blade).

The attendants’ magic powers were starting to run out, but if Nia used 【Absorption], she could still take 【His] attack.

” ” “OOOOOOOOOOH” ” ”

The Knights expressed their astonishment as they witnessed a 12 year old lady knight receive the attack of that Demon Beast.

Since it couldn’t be helped so that the collateral damage would be completely nullified, it was  too conspicuous if they thought too much about it, so had to make a decision quick.

“Noel~, get back here!”

“Lucy?”

When I caught him trying to get on the front line, Noel returned obediently even though he had a doubtful look.

“Lucy, what’s wrong…?”

“No, well, just wait a moment. …Fannie.”

As I called Fannie, she reverently presented the golden Demon blade that I had made as a spare.

“In the name of Yurushia-la-Verusenia, I bestow upon you this [Holy sword]. Receive it, Noel.”

“……Yes.”

Noel who had been taken aback for a moment knelt down, and received the [Holy Sword] (temp) like a Knight.

For some reason Rick, who was next to him, looked sullen, but I don’t care.

The Knights were fighting surprisingly well.

With the additional protection of my 【Radiant Shield], Nia receiving 【His] attacks, and Noa and Tina assisting them with ‘normal’ magic power, the result is obvious, even if I say so myself.

“Yurushia-sama, shall I go as well?”

“Not yet. That said, I’m thirsty, so please serve up some tea. Ah, go heavy on the souls.”

“Yes~”

Since Rick’s already gone to give instructions to the knights, I just changed to watching mode, and waited, fully prepared.

As the Holy Knights fought, they healed their companions with the Holy Magic 【Cure], and my attendants were assisting them by shaving off 【His] magic power. I instantly healed those who were seriously injured as the timing I was waiting for drew near, and finally the moment came.

“…【μυα]…”

Speaking the [Spirit of Light’s Language] as he had done previously, the power of light condensed within the Golden Demon Blade in Noel’s hands, and he swung down at 【Him] as 【He]exposed a slight gap.

“[Splitting Light, Holy Sword]…”

Aiming for that exact moment, I reinforced the 【Shining Sacred Sword]magic on Noel’s Golden Blade.

Although the spell 【Holy Sword]exists in Holy Magic, my magic is of the highest caliber, and the power of it was a complete order of magnitude greater.

“Perish, Demon!”

“[GuoooooooooooOOOOOOO!]”

When Noel swung down the sword, it emitted a bright light and turned into a huge golden sword, forcing 【Him] to fall back dozens of meters.

…… To not have taken much damage even from that attack, he’s really really far out of their league.

“[……Guu…]”

Nonetheless, its power exceeded his expectations, and for the first time in the fight, 【He] became wary of a human, setting Noel who was wielding the golden demon blade firmly in his sights.

“……That… not enough…”

“Noel’s attack seemed effective, so are you going to do it again?”

“Yes……”

As Rick spoke to Noel, he took up a position beside him, readying his sword.

“………”

When I finished drinking my tea, I approached them quietly, putting myself one step in front of them so as to protect them, and showed a [Sly] expression that nobody but 【Him] noticed.

“[……Gugu…]”

When I heard the sound of 【His]teeth grinding together, I finally noticed how unfavourable my position was and leapt up into the sky, as he stared at me from a distance.

I could feel the anger, but I can’t feel 【His] will to fight anymore.

He’d been defeated once by me (pet), albeit while I was being protected by my attendants, and after which he couldn’t defeat even a single human being, as I acted like a [Human] and lived amongst them, finally causing 【Him] to break down.

It was bothersome in various ways……

I wish I could just return to the Demon World happily as it is………

Staring at 【Him] with that thought, as I turned away from 【Him], he finally called me by my 【Name] and not just【Golden Beast].

“[YurushiaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! I will definitely bring you back to the Demon World the next tiiiiime!]”

…… Has he not been broken completely yet?
