Episode 38.3 (1/2)
Knight Torog recited a spell.
”<Wall of Magic (Zak Do Boa)>”
A wall made of magic emerged out of the small shield on his left hand. It's likely invisible to ordinary humans, but Lecan can see it.
Lecan raised his left hand and turned his palm toward Torog.
”<Flame Spear>.”
A <Flame Spear> with a weak output he shot got repelled with a dazzling light when it hit the magic wall. It's an anti-magic barrier.
At the other side, Knight Torog is looking smug.
(Feels like I could break through it.)
(If I put just a bit more power.)
Knight Torog drew a sword on his left waist with his right hand. A beautiful white blade showed itself. Torog poured his mana into it. A magic blade wrapped the physical portion of the blade at once.
Knights and soldiers around are looking at Torog with admiration. Some even voiced out 'ooh' loud.
(A magic sword eh.)
(Oh yeah, wouldn't be odd if this guy had one.)
Torog took a stance with the sword. A solid stance.
(Intriguing.)
Lecan drew <Comet Cutter>.
And put mana into it. Just enough to manifest a blade at twice its length.
But he ended up putting too much mana and generated a blade thrice its length instead.
Knight Torog opened his eyes wide.
Lecan lunged forward. He instantly closed in the ten step distance at speed that surprised even himself.
Lecan swung the <Comet Cutter>.
<Comet Cutter>'s magic blade tore through the magic wall, and decapitated Torog.
The shield's barrier vanished, Torog's body fell down on the floor.
Torog also made an attempt to swing his sword but he was far too slow.
Lecan found it surprising.
(Thought he'd give a tougher challenge.)
(Felt like cutting a log there.)
(Guy must have been wallowing in self-conceit.)
People who are born in a good house, spoiled in their upbringings and put on a position where they can get all the best gear all they want are incapable of measuring up their own power, and then are led to believe they can defeat foes beyond their reach.
The knights and soldiers around them froze up at the unexpected turn of event.
Lecan recited a spell.
”<Lightning>!”
He shot a strong-ish one.
The ten soldiers got knocked out of their feet, but the two knights stood their ground despite stumbling down.

(Hou.)
(Nice equipment.)
”<Lightning>!”
The two knights couldn't stand up against the second <Lightning> and fell down the ground.
Lecan walked between the fallen knights and soldiers, and stood in front of the door to conference room.
Two soldiers are holding their swords up high on the other side.
”<Lightning>.”
He managed to cast <Lightning> beyond the door and knocked the two soldiers out.
He opened the door.
