Episode 257. dazzle (3)
“Wow really! “It’s annoying!”
Set, who was clenching his fists, stuck out his tongue and shook his head.
“Is this because they are the knights of the front lines?”
Senior knights basically have superior physical abilities and mana management skills than other knights.
In addition, there was an overwhelming amount of practical combat experience accompanied by systematic formation of camps and systematic tactical operation.
It was truly the unit that best learned how to win a fight.
“Unless this thing causes complete chaos around here, it will be difficult to break through with normal methods, right? What will you do, princess?”
“Even if we escape this scene, there is no retreat route for us in Belias! “We must subdue them all here and now!”
However, contrary to Arin’s wishes, one by one, the faces of the tour group showed signs of exhaustion.
Although there were no casualties or serious injuries yet, the situation of the war was leaning unfavorably toward the tour group. On the other hand, the will to fight burned in the eyes of the frontline knights.
At this, Lunav glanced around for a moment out of the corner of her eye.
“Senior Set. “Please buy me some time.”
“huh? “What are you going to do, junior?”
“I think we need to divert the attention of those knights.”
Runab immediately opened the magic book in his hand.
“I will attract the knights’ attention using space transfer magic. Please provide a breakthrough in the meantime.”
“But then, Lunav, you…” … !”
“I am not the person the princess needs to worry about right now.”
Arin was momentarily taken aback and was left speechless.
“Senior Xian would definitely have said this, right?”
Lunav smiled naturally as she looked at Arin.
“This is the place where there is an agreement, right? “Then let’s start with me!”
Set, who jumped out to the vanguard, immediately took a posture of gathering energy by clenching both fists and slightly pushing his hips back.
Then, a sharp wind blew through the calm surroundings.
Soon, large grains of sand erupted from Set’s entire body.
The knights who encountered the sudden sandstorm immediately took a step back.
In response, Lunav also tried to shout out a spell by manifesting mana, but
-widely
After reciting the incantation, I suddenly closed the book.
“what? “Are you asking me to buy you some time?”
“Yes, but it is no longer needed.”
The people around me just stared blankly, not knowing what was happening.
“I think it came. Our savior… … .”
“Kaaak!”
At the same time, the screams of the knights erupted from behind.
“You finally showed up!”
Set also smiled broadly.
One would think that they were reinforcements to help the tour group, but strictly speaking, they were not a group or group.
Just one person.
The best assassin on the continent, capable of taking on 100 high-ranking knights on the front line alone.
Sian Berth has finally appeared.
-Shuuk
Xian immediately jumped into the air as if trying to attract everyone’s attention, and immediately spread black fog from his body like a smokescreen everywhere.
“The brilliant light of guidance will illuminate the darkness… … !”
In response, one senior knight quickly cast a spell to prevent his vision from being blocked.
-Suddenly
The sphere of light failed to rise into the air and plummeted to the ground.
Even though other drivers also tried to respond quickly,
-Push!
I couldn’t withstand Xian’s quick movements.
The Knights’ fortress-like camp was collapsing helplessly.
“All members of the tour group! “Don’t panic and move!”
Arin, who thought she had caught the flow, immediately gave instructions, and the tour group formed camp again and began to move.
“A former knight! “Retreat inside the border gate!”
Then the frontline knights stopped fighting and suddenly retreated to the border gate.
It was a contradictory response to just a moment ago, when it seemed like they would fight to the end with the spirit of a desperate battle.
“Where are you running away from?”
Set followed suit.
The knights quickly moved inside the border gate without even looking back, whether he came or not.
Eventually, the moment all the knights who could move had completed their retreat, a spell was recited from the mouths of several magic knights.
“I will draw a forbidden line that cannot be crossed… … .”
Then, a transparent purple aura began to flicker in the center of the boundary gate.
Lunav, sensing the strong flow of magical power, quickly shouted towards Set.
“Step back, Senior Set!”
However, Set, who did not hear this, recklessly chased after the knights, and at last, when his body was about to touch the border of the gate,
-Kwasik!
Purple lightning soared in front of Set.

“Wow!”
I quickly pulled it out with my quick reflexes, but I wasn’t able to dodge it all, so one of my elbows got blackened.
“W-what is this?”
“do not touch!”
After being taken aback by the unexpected obstacle for a moment, Lunav ran after him and pushed Set back.
“It’s a limiting barrier. It also involves a very complicated and dangerous technique… … .”
Given the circumstances, it seemed like a plan that had been prepared even before the tour group arrived.
A situation where all enemies blocking the way have fled.
I turned my attention again to deal with the remaining enemies, but
“It’s over.”
The situation in the back has already been sorted out.
“… … .”
The person responsible for the incident is, regardless of what the tour members think of him or not.
He was silently watching the condition of the knights he had defeated.
* * *
“Si, it’s food!”
When the rescue warehouse was released, people lost their senses and ran.
“Please follow the order!!”
He held up his hands to calm them down.
However, these were words that could not have been heard by people who had starved for several days.
Schurz’s eyes were precise.
The residents of Belias territory had not even had a proper meal for nearly two weeks, and had fallen into a situation where death from starvation could have occurred one after another if it were just a little bit late.
The reason was simple.
Harsh taxes and conscription to prepare for war.
It is said that they went from house to house and swept up everything that could be used as military supplies, and it was said that there were even people who wanted Mist to appear and assassinate Duke Berthe.
The demonic beasts wandering around Belias were also following Duke Berthe’s instructions.
The duke said that he wanted to release the hellhounds captured on the front lines to attack the people in the area near Belias, thereby instilling fear in the people that demonic beasts were roaming the lands of the empire.
“Even the corrupt nobles who committed all kinds of exploitation in the past were not to this extent! This is a betrayal of humanity! You must be sufficiently punished in the name of the imperial family. Princess!”
Recimus, who confirmed the seriousness of the situation, asked Arin to judge the culprit.
“punishment? Yes, you should. Of course I should… … . But who should I do it to?”
“Of course… !”
Resimus could not easily reply to Arin’s calm question.
“What is the status of the knights?”
“We are continuing to interrogate the knights we captured alive, but… … “Most people just keep repeating that they don’t remember much.”
We simply followed the duke’s instructions.
However, there was no intention whatsoever to follow suit.
We just moved without memory, like dolls that moved according to someone’s taste.
The knights all repeated the same thing.
“At this point, I’m honestly starting to get scared. “I think something even more terrible than this may be being planned somewhere that we don’t know about.”
Arin let out a long sigh and expressed her honest feelings about the present.
In order to end the situation, they also had to move to the front line as quickly as possible.
“What’s going on Lunav?”
“They say they are continuing to look at the barrier at the boundary gate.”
“Then let’s go there too.”
Arin and Resimus headed to the border gate where the incident occurred earlier.
At the border gate, blood stains and smells that had not yet been erased were widespread everywhere.
However, despite this uneasy atmosphere,
Lunav continued to have a vicious snowball fight with the purple, transparent barrier.
For some reason, it felt like I shouldn’t talk to them.
Arin looked at her awkwardly for about 5 seconds, wondering what to do.
“Are you here?”
Lunav was the first to welcome her.
“uh! Yeah, yeah! “Don’t worry about me, just keep doing what you’re doing!”
Still, as if she knew it wasn’t polite, Lunav took her eyes off the barrier and stood up, carefully rubbing her eyes.
“how is it? “Did something come out?”
“I have fully grasped the flow of the magic in the barrier. However, because it is so complicated, I think it will take some time to unravel.”
“Then how long will it take?”
“If I start solving it now, I think it will take about a day. “For now, I will try my best.”
“no. “Don’t overdo it.”
Lunav, who had been staring at Arin blankly for a moment, suddenly tilted her head.
“why? “Is there a problem?”
“Weren’t you with Senior Xian?”
They say that when people hear something so out of the blue that doesn’t fit the situation, they can’t even react properly, and that’s exactly what Arin was in right now.
“Oh, no! You saw it too! Came without a word and disappeared without a word… … .”
Arin quickly waved her hand and expressed her denial.
Xian actually just rescued the tour group that was under siege and then left without saying a word.
“He probably won’t be seen directly next to us while the tour lasts. “It would be better for both sides.”
“So you wanted a senior assassin, not a duke’s son-in-law?”
Arin responded with silence.
Lunav nodded as if he understood.
“And now that I think about it, I don’t see Prince Set either?”
“Well, he said he had nothing to do, so he would at least train… … .”
Runab suddenly turned his gaze to the long stone wall that runs along the border gate.
“You could be having a conversation between sweaty men.”
* * *
“It’s been a while since I’ve seen you. Why don’t you say something?”
Say anything?
Why don’t you look at the way you are now and say something like that?
If I were to compare it, it would be like watching a wild beast that is about to pounce on its prey.
I couldn’t help but reluctantly say something.
“Why did you come?”
“Why did you come? “Is that what you would say to someone who came to help you?”
Even when he spoke, he kept nagging me, asking why he always said such meaningless things, which was unbecoming of his size.
“That stubborn junior called me! “He asked me to help you!”
Are you saying it was Lunav’s doing?
I wasn’t too surprised because I roughly expected it.
I glanced at his whole body for a moment with deep eyes.
I knew from the beginning that he was a big fool who only knew about strength,
It feels like it got twice as big while I wasn’t even looking at it?
Not only was his physique unusual, but the flow of energy that sporadically erupted from within him was also unusual.
“Anyway, regardless of what you think, you owe me? “When this is over, do you have to listen to one of my requests?”
“Aren’t you tired of sparring anymore?”
“Hey, how dare you call me a fool who only knows how to fight… … !”
The guy who was standing tall like a strong tree suddenly fell down on one knee.
“Mr. Ha! “Did he suddenly go crazy without any signal?”
At the same time, he started talking to himself inexplicably.
It didn’t look normal at first glance, so I decided to keep quiet and watch for now.
“hey! It seems like my lover, who is holding on to me so hard that he can’t leave, wants to say hello to you. Anyway, it’s very arbitrary!”
“Can you explain it so I understand?”
I frowned and asked for an explanation, but soon realized there was no need.
He bent his knees, straightened his back proudly, and made eye contact with me.
With a completely different atmosphere than before.
“It’s been a while. “Heir of the Fog.”
Sabulom, god of sand.
He, the guardian deity of the Kingdom of Spania, once again appeared to me through the set.
