146 – Defense Battle (4)

“Erina won’t be able to protect me today.”

Then Celica looked around her with a surprised expression.

The Demon King’s army was advancing at a fast pace.

“Celica. Never come in front of me. Got it?”

“Seohyun, please be careful too.”

Celica asked me with her worried eyes.

And the same goes for Kayla.

“The poison hasn’t healed yet. “If you overdo it…”

“This much is okay.”

I hugged her gently to reassure her.

Then Kayla quickly closed her mouth.

Although my body felt a little dull.

It is not to the extent of interfering with the battle.

Then Celica came closer and gently stroked my waist.

“The skin is still hard…”

The part that was stabbed with a poisoned dagger.

Fortunately, the wound healed, but her scar remained.

If she received Celica’s healing, she would have her new skin sprouting right away.

Her healing was progressing slowly due to the paralyzing poison.

“I’m really fine.”

“…”

“Let’s focus on the battle now.”

I am grateful that you care about me, but this was all for naught.

I checked her sword and shield and headed to her lead.

The sight we encountered as we passed through the numerous knights.

A group of monsters rushing in with dust.

It felt like a black wave was washing over me.

Catherine stands at the center.

He was commanding the monsters while riding on the back of a huge chimera.

And her numerous demons to protect her.

Will we be able to stop them all?

At the same time, I checked Erina’s location.

Unlike me, who was located on the right side of the battlefield, I was standing in the exact center, waiting for the Demon King’s army.

While her soldiers also looked at her with puzzled expressions.

Erina was only focusing her eyes on me.

Because the distance was far away, I couldn’t clearly read their expressions.

I could see that an infinitely cold energy was radiating out.

‘Will it be okay…’

I was worried that the passive attitude I showed yesterday would repeat itself.

Since we were always together, the empty space felt even bigger.

But now I can’t go to her side.

As I was looking at her for a while, her Kayla gently came towards me.

And then she spoke quietly.

“I will definitely protect my lord.”

Kayla maintained her distance with her subtle sense of distance.

Definitely different from Erina.

Without my knowledge. Kayla was also changing little by little.

“Erina is stronger than us.”

“…”

“So don’t worry.”

He even smiled and reassured me.

But the reason why the agitation in my heart does not go away.

This is because Erina’s vacancy was never filled.

‘Have I also been influenced by Erina?’

I always tried to shake off her obsession.

After falling, I couldn’t hide the feeling of emptiness.

While I was lost in thought, there was a commotion right next to me.

“Sister. “You must not go forward today.”

“Yes. “I understand, so just take care of yourself.”

Did he realize that he had no chance of winning if he just rushed forward?

As of today, Catalina showed no signs of rushing forward.

I just quietly waited with the knights.

Despite her answer, Malcolm stayed by her side as if he was anxious.

These two people are always the same no matter what.

Still, as the Demon King’s army approached, the amount of talk began to decrease.

The Demon King’s army finally reached the halfway point of the ridge.

As soon as they came within range of the archer, Tyria raised her voice.

“Everybody fire!”

At the same time, a barrage of arrows covers the sky.

However, not many arrows reached the Demon King’s army.

It’s just blocked by the magic barrier or missed. It didn’t work very well.

At least a few arrows hit the mark.

It was not enough to stop the countless demon king forces.

And the knights were each holding a weapon amid tension.

When Eric finally gave the order to charge.

The charge began with shouts.

Elves and knights running wild.

Among them, we are the ones at the forefront.

After the collision occurred, screams and cries began to mix.

I heard the cries of pain for a week.

Monsters and humans fall accordingly.

Among them, a group of small giants appeared before my eyes.

Wearing heavy iron armor and wielding a great sword, they dominated the battlefield.

Even if Celica was healed, it would be of no use if she lost her life in a single blow.

Most of those who were hit by a large sword were not safe.

“Kayla. “Aim from the front!”

Even before giving her command, Kayla was already preparing her magic.

A fire butterfly blooming from a magic circle.

As the small butterflies formed a large phoenix, a huge phoenix appeared in the air.

As they flapped their wings, countless fire moths burned the earth.

The giants floundered and were consumed by the flames.

Kayla also set fire to her body and rushed forward.

Unlike before, where I always assisted with magic behind the scenes.

This time, he was actively moving forward.

I couldn’t stay still either.

It released magic power and froze the surrounding air.

I realized one thing from yesterday’s defeat.

The ability is used too limitedly.

Other than freezing the weapon and changing its shape, there was no other use.

Also, weaknesses were revealed in group competition.

So far, I have only faced fifteen enemies at most.

Therefore, when faced with a large number of people, our shortcomings were revealed.

‘A different method is needed.’

I squeezed out the magic power inside my body and let out a chill.

Frost and cold air covering the surroundings.

But this was not enough.

Freezes the armor surrounding the body, including the weapons.

Interfering with the air flow, a cold wind blew around.

Nostel Memories of the snowy mountains.

I remembered the strong wind and snowstorm that blew while climbing the mountain.

And the snow woman we met at the summit.

Cold ice spears and huge icebergs.

And the avalanche that swept away even Erina.

Although her magical power was lower than hers, it was impossible for her to be that powerful.

Wouldn’t it be possible to at least imitate it?

As I strain my strength to the limit, the space around me begins to distort.

The magical power hovering around began to fall as snow.

“Seohyun… !”

“Celica. “Never fall.”

She immediately grabbed her shield and ran towards the giant.

“Master! Danger… !”

Before Kayla could stop her, she jumped into the air.

She climbed up to the giant’s shoulder and stabbed him with her sword.

A giant twisting its body to throw me off.

Let’s shake off her chills by sticking her sword into her shoulder blade.

With a burst of drinking, the giant’s body was torn apart.

And fire butterflies fluttering around.

Kayla, her entire body burned, came next to me.

An endless horde of monsters.

It was difficult to deal with each person one by one.

“Kayla. “Can I blow brass?”

“Yes, I understand!”

It immediately burst into flames and burst into flames.

Fire spewing out violently.

A strong wind wrapped around the blade in the same direction and hurled it forward.

A snow storm flows along the blade.

When I hit the giants right in front of me, my body went through.

At the same time, the monsters swallowed up by the demonic fire instantly turned into ashes.

Then a burning meteor flew from the sky.

Catherine’s fire magic was flying.

“Celica! “Raise the barrier!”

“Yes!”

Immediately a golden barrier spread in the air.

The burning meteorite lost its power and began to scatter.

In the meantime, let’s continue our fight with Kayla.

The group of monsters in front began to be swept away.

“Everyone charge!”

Before we knew it, the knights were strengthening their fighting spirit.

Did we gain hope by looking at ourselves?

The shouts were gradually getting louder.

Also, let Celica’s prayer spread to everyone.

The knights were dealing with monsters without hesitation.

How much time has passed?

While the fierce situation continues.

Suddenly the surroundings started to get dark.

Black clouds covering the sky.

The scenery is completely opposite to the one just moments ago where there was not a single cloud.

And then rays of light began to fall from the sky.

Lightning falling countless times.

At the center was Erina.

“…What.”

I’ve seen her wield her lightning many times.

I have never seen a technology that brings dark clouds.

And a sword wind splits the sky.

The space split in half and thunder shook the earth.

The harpy that was flying in the sky had both wings torn off.

The dwarves who were running from all directions were all charred.

The problem was that the electricity flying around did not distinguish between friendly and enemy forces.

Even the knights around him were electrocuted and fell down.

Everyone started screaming and running away.

“Erina…”

I realized long ago that she was hiding her powers.

She couldn’t help but be overwhelmed as she saw her true self before her eyes.

She didn’t know that even this might not be her strength.

Even her demons fall helplessly due to her.

Even the knights became distant from her surroundings.

Erina was left alone on the battlefield like an eye in a typhoon.

And a woman running towards her.

“You… !”

Catherine came running, leading a huge chimera.

The long sword in her hand was burning hot.

A long sword that runs and swings at breakneck speed.

But she couldn’t reach Erina.

Instead, when the lightning struck, the chimera was swept away by the lightning.

Catherine fell to the floor.

When the two finally meet face to face.

Catherine let out her angry roar.

“How can I have this kind of power…?”

“…”

“Are you really human…? !”

A scream filled with resentment.

But Erina aimed her sword without even blinking.

And then the collision occurred.

Space was distorted as lightning and fire collided.

Katrine wields flames while receiving Erina’s blade head-on.

As I watched that scene, I immediately stopped attacking.

“Kayla! “Take care of Celica!”

“Yes… ?!”

“Please. “We must fight against Catherine!”

Then Kayla hurriedly blocked me.

“Then me too… !”

“No. “You protect Celica.”

I don’t know about Kayla, but Serica is the problem.

To be honest, I didn’t have the confidence to protect Celica between Katrin and Erina.

Catherine’s fire magic is also a problem.

This is the conclusion I came to after seeing Erina’s lightning strike that burned down even her allies a little while ago.

Kayla couldn’t help but nod her head.

“…I will help you with magic from the rear.”

“Thank you. “Kayla.”

As soon as Kayla’s permission was given.

He immediately ran towards the front of the battlefield.

The moment when Erina’s long sword and Catherine’s long sword clash.

Lightning struck and fires were burning nearby.

Passing through the hot air.

We were finally able to get close to them.

“Seohyun…!”

Erina’s eyes trembled as soon as she saw me.

At the same time, the red-flaming long sword struck her head.

Immediately he pulled Erina towards him, raised her shield, and threw away the blade.

She swung her sword at Catherine, who was momentarily stumbling, and unleashed a snow storm.

Catherine immediately rolled on the floor to avoid it.

And then there was a momentary lull.

Meanwhile, Erina let out a scream while being held in my arms.

“Why did you come…?” !”

A voice full of resentment.

But she couldn’t leave her alone.

A little while ago, Katrin was repelling Erina’s attack.

Unlike the image of defeating enemies with overwhelming power.

Katrin was competing with Erina as an equal with her sword skills.

In other words, Katrin and Erina are equal partners.

The moment I saw that, I couldn’t just watch.

“Run away now!”

“Erina. “Concentrate.”

It was already too late to run away.

Since it was in Catherine’s eyes, there was no choice but to see the match.
