Ascendance of a Bookworm

"Don't wait... I have to!

It was almost at the same time that I called Matthias a voice of restraint, and a net of light descended from above. Matthias looks back at my screams.

"Dear Rosemaine!?

As Matthias opened his eyes and began to run this way with a stamp out, a chilling voice descended on his spine.

"Isn't it a familiar, scrupulous warcraft? I didn't know you were here..."

This is not the first time my Lesser Bus has been captured by Graozam with a net of light. The sight comes back to that time when he was captured and poisoned without the skill of doing so, and was to be immersed in Jurevé. But now I know what to do. You just have to believe that the escort knight will help you and not get out of the horseman. I put my strength in the hand holding the handle so that no matter what happened, I would not jump out.

"Rosemaine!"

Shortly after Brother Cornelius's angry voice sounded, the power to pull the Lesser Bus snapped. The net of light is torn apart while Angelica, who set up the shtin luke, travels to and from his sight. Sooner than Matthias came back, I was free.

"I recognize that net of light. … or Graozam"

Brother Cornelius on the beast stares up at Graozam with a harsh look.

"I only heard the name from my master. I'm glad to see you as an enemy on the battlefield."

Angelica gripping Stynrook smiles nicely with her blue eyes glowing challengingly as she jumps on the horseman. The clear impression on that smile was devoid of shards and made me feel awesome.

Ask me with a face like Matthias rushing over pressured by the two forces.

"Dear Rosemaine, what the hell..."

"It means that Graozam was the culprit in the raid at the beginning of the winter social circle where I became the culprit of using Jurevé."

"Become!? That was Geebe Joisoturk as the killer..."

Mathias opens and closes his mouth when it is ripped open. That's what's happening publicly and the case is closed, but it's actually not. It will further inform Matthias of his father's sins, which he did not know, but it is nothing to hide and do.

"What Viscount Joisoturk did was kidnap and raid Charlotte, and it was Graozam who unleashed a net of light and poisoned me in an attempt to expose me.... but that's weird. It doesn't seem like the voice I heard when I first visited Geebe Gerlach's house during my blue witch apprenticeship."

"... because there were three shadow fighters in Graozam. But is it? Was it Graozam who harmed Master Rosemaine?"

Matthias' eyes, who said so in a bitter tone, swayed loosely as he conceived his passion. Grab the sword of Sturp and look up at the balcony upstairs. There, Brother Cornelius and Angelica were wielding their swords with magic.

"Die here, Graozam!

Two magical powers that attacked at the same time in stunning collaboration intertwined and plunged into Graozam. Ba and raised his left arm so that Graozam could shelter his head. The next moment I anticipated the defeat of Graozam, who is not a knight, the light of the magic attack disappears so that it is sucked into Graozam's small hand.

... absorbed magic!?

Slowly lowering his hand, Graozam lifts the edge of his nibble and lips. I waved my right hand, mocking Brother Cornelius and Angelica, who were dismayed that the attack had not worked at all. A bright mass of blue magic pops up and strikes a wide range that includes not only Brother Cornelius and Angelica, but also the knights who are drinking Jurevé and recovering.

"Szczeria, goddess of wind......"

"Gettylt!"

At the same time a number of shields appeared in front of the balcony, bouncing Glaozam's magical attack. A white lion came later and faced Graozam standing upstairs.

"Dear Ferdinand!

The knights, who were recovering, exhale like a hoe and start putting out shields to protect themselves.

"Whoever is recovering, get away from this place!

With a number of shields deployed, Ferdinand yells. The knights set their own shields in motion. Others support those whose magic is about to solidify and who are difficult to move.

"... why are you alive!?

He shook his head like he couldn't believe it when he saw Ferdinand crossing the horseman and maintaining multiple shields.

"No way...... did you fail despite all that politely prepared downstairs? You didn't just fail, you even went to false reports to Master Georgine? I don't think she's Georgine-like's daughter. Unforgivable."

Apparently Dietrinde made a report that Ferdinand was dead. Afterwards, he started a covert operation, so he probably kept his silver costume together so Ordnants wouldn't arrive. You didn't seem to know that I saved Ferdinand.

"... but it's over now. It doesn't change what I'm supposed to do."

Buy time for Georgine to take away the foundations of Aerenfest, take away the magic of the land to make it easier for Georgine to take away the foundations, sharpen his fighting power to make it easier for Georgine to control Aerenfest, and keep one less nobleman in the way. Graozam laughed that was what he was supposed to do. I'm about to catch my breath in the madness that lurks there. I'm afraid of grey eyes that I can tell if I don't accept any persuasion.

"Dear Ferdinand, you stand in the way of Master Georgine. You have to turn it off here."

"Can I turn it off to the civilian side? The poison won't work anymore."

Brother Eckhardt sets up his weapon to protect Ferdinand, who said so.

"Civilians have a way of fighting civilians"

Graozam unfastened his cape and grabbed something as he said, "I don't need this anymore to avoid Ordnants". Immediately after, a blue flame swirls around Graozam.

"What!?

"What the hell!?

The moment everyone on the spot was blinded by the blue flames, he said, "Yikes!" Attacks were simultaneously launched from several places towards Graozam with a high voice. Hannelore unit. Magic is launched and multiple arrows strike at a glaozam wrapped in a blue flame. It was a quick attack by the Hannelores who wouldn't miss a few gaps, but once again it was prevented by Graozam's left hand.

The blue flames gain more momentum when the Hannelores attack. But Graozam, who stands at the center of it, just laughs joyfully, neither trying to heat it up at all nor looking painful. If you waved your right hand in flames, the blue flame struck Hannelore like a creature.

"Gettylt!"

Hannelore shielded herself aggressively. Ferdinand's shield moved at the same time, preventing Graozam from attacking. But Hannelore's expression is pale. Graozam smiles of derision as he grips his shield and looks at Hannelore, who opens his eyes.

"Oh, with all this magic, I think I can move enough. Thank you, Dunkelferger's daughter."

Ferdinand flies the Ordnants one after the other, staring at the blue flames of Graozam. To Heishitze on the front line, to Strahl, who went to Bindebalt to leave his captives and returned, and then the Ordnants flew to me too.

"Rosemaine, you and Matthias are the only ones who can get inside the hall. I'll attract you here for a while. It's troublesome when you use a hidden passage or something. You two hurry inside the hall and turn behind me. My prosthetic hand is absorbing magic. Use a black weapon to attack. Even if Matthias dies, you'll never leave the beast."

A whispering, quick-mouthed command arrives, and I face Mathias. I didn't think Ferdinand would order me to infiltrate. I guess that means they're all stuffed with cutting feathers.

"Let's hurry, Matthias. You know the way to that room, don't you?

"Yes, this is Geebe's office."

"Dear Rosemaine, please wait. It's too dangerous."

Leonore, who was listening to Ferdinand's Ordnants with me, stops me. But I can't take the escort knights, and I can't leave them to anyone else.

"Leonore, the appointment of Geebe is the jurisdiction of Aub. It is the Lord's family's responsibility to capture those who have taken the key at will without appointment, so I will go."

"But..."

Leonore, who opened his mouth with opposition, shut his mouth regrettably and held his fist.

"I feel sorry for my self, who is an escort knight but can only rely on the clan of lords. Please... good luck."

"Keep Graozam on the balcony until we arrive."

"Must."

When I enter the house of Geebe, I run behind Matthias with a horseman. Probably because it's a museum where I was born and raised. Matthias runs without hesitation. I could see people falling by the way. Is he a working man who has met with Graozam?

Matthias turns Starp into a sword as he runs, and even more into a black weapon in a way that can be taught in the Knights. I also prayed for the blessings of darkness when I put out a starp and turned it into a water cannon.

"O God of darkness, who commands the high pavilion sky, make the world, Father of all things, hear my prayers, give me holy power, give me my blessing to take power away from the devil, dedicate myself to my weapons, leave all the circles of magic, give me the devil's protection, give me a moment of peace to the life that is in this land."

Matthias opened his mouth when I held the blackened water cannon.

"Master Rosemayne should make it a top priority to block the door with a horseman without attacking as much as possible."

"Matthias?"

"Graozam probably doesn't know everything about what kind of weapon Master Rosemaine will use and what kind of artifacts he will handle. Keep your back as hidden as possible for times of need."

Graozam looked up on the stairs with Matthias' strong determination, because he would defeat him with this hand. Close your eyes like you noticed something.

"... there's a trap set on the stairs. I'm going to disarm it..."

"Wouldn't it be nice if I didn't have to use the stairs to jump over with a horseman? It's a waste of time, isn't it? Ride, Matthias."

When I extended the Lesser Bus to two passengers, I opened the passenger seat and gently slapped the seat with a pom. Matthias compared the stairs to the Lesser Bus several times and got in with a small laugh.

"... what's wrong, Matthias?

"No. It's nothing. Combined with intruder perception and time buying, Graozam should have set a number of traps on the stairs that must pass. I don't think I would have thought I could jump over everything like this..."

The stairs in this hall are not large enough to use a feathered horseman. That's what I could do because I'm a Lesser Bus. Without someone riding around the boarding beast indoors, this kind of avoidance would be very unlikely, Matthias said oddly.

"My Lord is always unexpected. I have been amazed when I broke down the faction walls in the dormitories of the House of Lords, and when I went as far as the children before Baptism to evade the Solemn Qing syndicate. I am glad to be able to choose Lord Rosemaine, who tries to pick up as much as he can, not Master Georgine, who orders the ravages of his homeland"

Jump up without using the stairs with Mathias on board and descend straight ahead of the desired room, which is upstairs. Matthias, getting off the Lesser Bus, squeezes his expression softly.

"I'm coming."

Matthias put his hand on the door of Geebe's office and once he took a deep breath he opened the door wide and jumped inside. When I jumped inside too, I shut the door ramblingly with Lesser's tail, making it immediately as big as a bus, completely blocking the entrance and exit.

"Was there anyone who could get in here?"

Graozam looks back at the sound of us entering. It's like putting together blue flaming armor. Once Graozam waved his right hand in a blue flame and attacked outside, he came into the room.

There is one man down in the room. Guess it was Geebe Gerlach. I felt like red blood was still spreading loose.

"Heal..."

"It doesn't help anymore. Demonic petrification is beginning."

Matthias stares at Graozam, turning his back on me and saying so. The black sword is in its hands, slowly erected. Graozam walks in with his black-glowing prosthetic arm raised, putting together the blue flaming armor.

"You don't think it's pitiful though how much for begging for your life, such as kneeling on a civilian little girl like that, Matthias?

When he saw the Lesser Bus blocking the door and me, Graozam snorted uncomfortably. Matthias chills back with no shards of agitation.

"I feel so sorry for those who fall on their knees to the invaders of other realms, harm their territorial lord candidates, and ravage their homeland and allies"

Haven't my son ever disputed it before? Graozam moved his temples tingly.

"Master Georgine is a Lord's Candidate at Aerenfest. I am not an invader of another realm. Correct me, Matthias."

"It was a clan of lords in Arlensbach. Now that Master Rosemayne has seized the foundations of Arlensbach, he's not even a family of lords anymore."

Graozam had a chilling grin as he looked at me.

"Whoever Aub Ahrensbach is, it's no longer my business. Master Georgine will be Aub of Aerenfest."

"I won't let Aub have her that only brings destruction and ruin!

Graozam slowly raises his right hand wrapped in a blue flame as he sets up a black sword and stares facelessly at Matthias, who is furious.

"I have already been registered as an Arlensbach nobleman. I mean, they're not my son or anything."

Matthias tied his lips together for just a moment.

"Just die. I won't let them get in the way of Master Georgine!

Graozam waves his right hand and attacks with a blue flame. Matthias cleaved it with a black sword. Immediately after, Graozam moves quickly and kicks Matthias in the ass.

"Guuuuuuuu..."

It was a movement like a knight with physical strengthening. Quick moves like Angelica are very much not civilian moves. Matthias restarts his sword and takes a step back to be vigilant.

"... hun. To this extent even if I say something big? A knight strengthens his body. Civilians make advanced magic equipment. Which one is stronger than the magic equipment I created or the body of the other?

Graozam said so confidently, crossing the right arm of the blue flame and the black prosthetic hand in front of his chest.
