70 – The Seed of Darkness(?)

The gaze of a woman in black who has turned into an ugly figure scans the battlefield.

From the first party of Veronica and the leader, who are dealing with Drake,

The knights are pushing back the remaining hound dogs and dire wolves on the battlefield.

Evileye’s bloodshot eyes slowly began to roll.

-… I found it.

Smile.

As soon as our eyes met precisely,

The movement of the pupils stopped.

“… Me?”

Wait. Why me

– Flutter.

The wings of the giant davil bat spread out,

It started flying toward me at high speed.

“Uh… Huh?”

This isn’t it.

“Hello, kid.”

“…”

“What about the stolen item?”

At the same time as Burimi’s words, Leah floating in the air is seen startled and startled.

The woman’s eyes are fixed exactly where Leah is.

‘… Can you see it?’

You can identify fairies…?

… If so

She means that she noticed that Leah was gone.

Breathe mana into the holy sword held in her right hand.

“It’s stolen… Is this what you mean?”

-Peeing!!!

Intense light bursts from the holy sword,

A light shined on the battlefield that was starting to get dark.

-…!!

In the distance, I can feel Veronica turning her head to look at me.

‘… Help!’

Night is coming soon.

At this point, it’s possible to waste time, but…

Sir.

An unpretentious smile begins to appear on Burimi’s face.

“I don’t know about that shiny sword… But he’s a good kid. He even came to visit me to return things like this.”

“Well…”

-Ugh!!

I can feel the mana of light vibrating along the blade of the holy sword.

Now I instinctively know that I don’t have much mana left.

‘But…’

Because I have to buy as much time as I can now.

“I only came after receiving a report that a thief had entered the house.”

“…Was a cheeky bastard.”

Until at least 1 party defeats the named monster,

Burimi’s feet must be tied.

-… Rai.

“It’s okay, Leah.”

“What? Did you even give the light mass a name?”

Ahahahahaha!!

‘Looks like you can’t see it closely.’

If at least you can see the fairies properly,

You should have known that it was a member of the opposite s*x that could communicate.

‘Sure…’

“He was a real kid…”

That last word.

Booung-!

Burimi swung the arm of a huge beast.

‘It’s huge…But not fast.’

-Kaang!

…Not fast enough.

“Ugh…”

A tingling feeling on your fingertips, as if you had struck steel.

But it shouldn’t end here.

Pour the mana harvested from her eyes into her veins.

Soon after, with a transparent haze rising around her body.

-Suddenly!

“…What?!”

Cut off her wings at high speed.

‘Because moving in the air would be cumbersome.’

Buri Mi’s shocked expression catches her eyes.

Yes,

Because Burimi has never seen the speed with which I used Blood Ghost.

Put more strength on your wrist.

“Where!”

Tung-!

“Sheesh.”

It’s a waste.

I tried to cut off the upper body with the same momentum that cut off the wings…

Cracked gray hexagonal scales on the beak’s skin.

‘Is it covered with the scales of an ink-colored armadillo…’

“…You!”

‘…But.’

I’m weaker than I thought…?

Honestly, the attack would be so easy…

“Oh.”

Looking closely now, Burimi’s eyes are not mine,

Aiming at the holy sword that emits light.

‘… It’s a light.’

In that case.

‘Flash bomb ahead!’

-Peeing!!!

“aaa!!”

‘It might be easier to capture than I thought…?’

Let’s avoid the tail of the scorpion swinging at random, and spread the distance.

Just like before, the sharp hand of the huge beast is flying.

The moment you lightly duck down to avoid it.

“…!”

– Awesome!!

A branch of the World Tree was flying at the place where I was leaning.

“It’s big…!!”

-Huh!!

With an unpleasant feeling of floating, the body begins to leave the battlefield at high speed.

‘…Undo what you just said.’

Kaga Gaga River!!

I managed to avoid flying far away by driving the holy sword into the ground.

At some distance, an angry burimi is flying after me.

With the branches of a huge world tree.

‘… It’s ruined.’

I feel like I’m too picky.

**

“I don’t have time! Hurry up!”

Destroy the last named monster,

Veronica was rushing the first party with a rare scream.

‘… Please.’

I hope nothing is wrong with that child.

A woman who freely manipulates the body parts of a monster that looks unusual even at first glance.

She is probably the main villain of the world tree incident.

To entrust such a dangerous person to just one student…

So is Miss Elena, who is running alongside me now.

She wondered if the child, her close friend, was seriously injured. She gritted her teeth and followed the pace of the 1st party.

Kook.

Around the time you start to feel the taste of blood from your tightly pursed lips.

Sir Elint and Kungel, who were running alongside, opened their mouths.

“… Even though the escort is a student, he has unbelievable strength.

Don’t worry too much…”

“That’s right. It must be all right.”

It must have been to reassure Veronica.

But for Veronica in her current state,

It sounded like the words of a cowardly adult justifying Rai’s sacrifice.

“That’s right now…!”

In the first place, I wasn’t bringing Rai to the Elven Forest.

Even if she was chosen by the Holy Sword, she would have been just a first-year student,

I don’t know if it was at some point, but she took it for granted that the child would fight alongside me.

She sees that Rai will participate in the expedition with Miss Elena,

She honestly thought it was a little reassuring.

‘What are you doing… Veronica.’

Because that child and Jade seemed to overlap?

Because she was skilled enough to win first place in a martial arts competition?

‘…All of these are just excuses.’

I am nothing more than an incompetent academy principal who neglected students in danger.

“Please.”

.. If the worst has happened,

I will never forgive myself for the rest of my life.

“… Over there!”

“That’s…”

The sun has already set.

Rely on light magic

At the place we arrived after stepping on countless corpses of hound dogs.

-…Huh… Uh…Huh…

With the Holy Sword, whose light is flickering now exhausted, stuck on the ground,

I could see Rai barely supporting his wounded body.

The figure of a woman taking out a griffon’s wings instead of tattered wings from a slightly distant position.

Veronica’s heart thumped. And fall

“Rye!!!”

Miss Elena ran out screaming.

“… Start supporting!!”

The final scene of the knights belatedly grasping the situation and throwing their bodies.

Veronica also ran towards the child with her fists clenched.

**

-Rye!!!

‘… You’re here.’

I’m glad.

I was just about to run out of energy.

-Kaang!!

I can hear the approaching Sir Kungel and Sir Elint engaging with the Burimi.

‘Others… Must be retired.’

At some point, the branches of the World Tree began to stop flying.

From afar, Riden and Ciriel began to incapacitate the regular knights with the branches of the World Tree.

Now, only Sir Hind and a few high-ranking knights will be left to deal with them.

Puffed up.

“Sorry Leah. I used the holy sword as a staff.”

-At the time to say such things, from the wounds…!

“Rye!!! Are you okay?!”

“Helena…?”

From noble mtl dot com

“Your whole body is full of scars…! Start with treatment quickly…!”

It was then.

Buck and go.

‘…Veronica?’

Veronica was walking behind Elena with a helpless expression.

‘What is it? Was the fight very difficult?’

What’s the status…

“…Are you okay?”

“Ah… It stings a little… But you know. It’s sturdy.”

“Drink this.”

Oops!

Veronica took out from her bosom a bottle that glistened preciously,

He thrust it towards me.

‘… This.’

Isn’t that a healing potion?

The potion making technology is still under development, so

I know it’s very expensive…

The condition of Veronica who actually hands you the potion doesn’t look very good either.

“… I’m fine, so head first.”

“Don’t drink.”

For some reason, I was handed a potion from Veronica, who had a coercive attitude.

“…Ah.”

Tung!

‘… Oh dear.’

I forgot the potion bottle.

About 1/3 of the contents of the potion were soaking the floor.

Elena hurriedly picked up the dropped potion bottle and fortunately didn’t spill it all.

‘Why is my hand suddenly so strong…’

The moment I spread my trembling hands upwards.

The answer was quickly found.

‘That’s right.’

It’s night now.

As night fell, his physical abilities were reduced.

“… Gee.”

It was familiar to me, but

Elena’s expression, which she had never seen before, was tinged with bewilderment.

“…Rye?”

-Sueuk.

Veronica took the bottle of her potion from Elena’s hand and poured it into my mouth before opening her mouth.

“…As expected. The side effects must be severe.”

“Yes? Side effects…?”

“You’ve used the Holy Sword for too long… Rest for now.”

In an instant, the wound heals as if it had received a healing magic.

However, the trembling hands still lacked strength.

“I’ll be back.”

With that said, Veronica also ran out to join the battle with Burimi.

All that’s left is Elena and I, who look puzzled.

‘…’

I thought I was done with what I had to do, but…

“…Rye? What do you mean by that? A side effect?”

Veronica planted the seed of darkness in Elena and left.
