Ascendance of a Bookworm

"Gettylt!"

Multiple shields appeared before me again the moment I was pointing my weapon at Raobrut. Ferdinand deployed more than one shield while staying away from Eckhardt and Justkus, who were taking healing pills. In the same vein, be wary of earlier attacks, and shield the proximity, including Haltmoot and Clarissa.

Shortly after confirming that there were more shields before me, Raoblut shouted as he was in a position to defend the altar as he grabbed his weapon and poured more and more magic into it.

"Eliminate true Zent enemies! Capture the Virgin of Aerenfest! You have to be the Virgin of the Central Temple for Jürgenschmitt!

The Central Knights, who were all around him, moved in three parts. Part of the left ran out to Anastasius, who was unable to move while falling because he was out of the healing range I had gone, and Heishitze, who was giving them healing pills or protecting them.

Part of the middle keeps an eye on Raobrupt's movements, while setting up a weapon. Part of the right immediately started shooting with a bow of stamp.

"Huh!?

The arrows were directed against Ferdinand and his surroundings, not against me. Multiple arrows are fired one after the other. The moment I realized that Ferdinand's shield had already been put out before me and took a heck of a breath, Eckhardt stood up with Justkus, then the knights of Arlensbach around them hurried out their shields to ward off the arrows.

"Master Rosemayne, have a shield too!

Leonore raises a sharp voice. It wasn't if the Ferdinands were relieved that they were managing to protect themselves. I can see Raoblut waving his sword down at the edge of his sight. He flies for himself with the momentum of a rainbow mass of magic growing.

"Gettylt!"

I couldn't afford to put up a Szeri shield with words of prayer. It hits me as I destroy a shield with a number of big rainbow lights. Brother Cornelius and Laurenz, who were shielding in the front row, raised their bitter voices as Ferdinand's shield disappeared so that they could play and managed to endure it.

"Angelica, Matthias! Take turns back and forth! Master Rosemayne will have the wind shield at once!

Leonore gives instructions quickly. Szczeria's shield was put out while also preventing a first-hand attack with Gettylt when Ditter with Dunkelferger. It is important to create a somewhat safe place. I pray.

"Szczeria, the goddess of the wind, who presides over the guardian..."

The escort knights take turns back and forth, and Brother Cornelius and Matthias reach for the recovery pills. But before that, the knights, who were waiting with their weapons around Raobrut, struck out one rainbow lump of light after another. A mass of magic, large and small, of varying rainbow colors, strikes irregularly one after another. The two shielded themselves before reaching for the recovery pills.

Some things are not so caged, others are quite magical. Now that Ferdinand's shield has been destroyed, that corrugated attack is pretty harsh. I keep praying as I feel my magic be sucked by Gettylt's shield.

"... the shield of the wind that keeps harmful things out of my hands"

There was a hard sound that echoed around Kin, completing the hemispherical Szeerian shield. A glowing column of yellow precious colour stands, and the men of the Central Knights pay attention, as they were astonished. Maybe many knights are not very familiar with divinity.

For one thing, this should do something about the magic attack. The escort knights, who were exposed to a series of rainbow light attacks, lose a little power over their bodies.

"Don't fail to be vigilant and get your recovery pills right away. We're dealing with the Central Knights."

Leonore gave instructions as he glanced at the laobroots in front of the altar with blue eyes. Despite how many coups have reduced the number and quality of the nobles, the Central Knights consist of distinguished knights drawn from within each territory.

My escort knights, young and strong in Aerenfest, still can't beat experienced uncles and fathers. The Central Knights, who have experience, are arguably quite formidable enemies.

"I'd like you to join us, but Master Ferdinand doesn't seem to have much room either."

The Ferdinands are not just arrows, and the magic equipment is thrown in one after the other to obstruct their rendezvous with this one. I saw magic equipment bursting overhead and struggling with magic equipment with silver needles popping up without magic. Probably something crossed from Lanzenave.

"Dear Rosemaine, Maintaining the shield is paramount, but if possible, can't you wish Princes Anastasius well? When they can move, their power changes dramatically."

He said Anastasius has knights he can't attack, and his escort knights are the Central Knights. I didn't like the fact that it was quite an important force. If Anastasius and the others can move, the Heishitzes, who are trying to recover from them, will also be able to move while dealing with the Central Knights.

... I know it would be best if I could do that...

I nodded cocklessly at Leonore, feeling one rainbow light after another on the shield of Szczeria.

"... I'll try. But don't each put up a shield. The attack of the Central Knights has a strong magic power, but it also has a strong feeling and impact that is different from previous attacks."

When I confirmed that the escort knights would set up their shields, I put out the staff of Fruitraine with my eyes closed. Chanting is more accommodating than magic formations of demonic paper that are not included in the range except for the object specified in advance. Though we will need some leeway to chant for a long time.

"Lungshmer, the goddess of water, the goddess of healing of the family of Fruitraine."

I can see magic flowing through Fruitraine's wand. The Ferdinands will need healing, not just the Anastasius and the others.

"Hear my prayers, give me holy power, and give me the power to heal my side..."

"Angelica, Matthias!

Brother Cornelius' sharp voice echoes in closed sight in the middle of prayer. At the same time, Leonore shouted, "Dear Rosemaine, please concentrate". I don't know what's going on and my throat gets sore and my voice is about to break. I keep praying as my body trembles and I feel my heart beat harder.

"I offer you the blessing of purifying by throwing the ripples of the Holy Examination."

As soon as I'm done chanting, I erase the wand and open my eyes. Brother Cornelius was blown away by a knight in front of the shield of Szczeria.

"Hey, what's up!?

"While the Central Knights were attacking, it seemed they were shrinking their distance, trying to break into the shield of Szeria with a silver cloak at the same time that Master Rosemaine's chant began. Mathias, Angelica and Cornelius are responding."

Leonore answers. It seems that the central knights came in a silver weapon and a cape-wrapped part, even though I had no sense of being invaded by the enemy at all with the shield of Szeria. If I don't knock it out before it's completely in, my escort knight risks being more ejected, as he did when Lestillaught broke into me and Eudit was ejected.

"Please leave! I will not tolerate your disrespect for Lady Rosemaine, the incarnate of Mestionora!

As Clarissa said so, she threw her magic gear at the knights in front of the shield, jumping lightly on the run. Shortly after the van and magic implements burst at close range, the red powder splashed and the knights held their faces down and coughed, hovering around. Is it a magic trick stuffed with negarosi?

"Clarissa, next time, this and this without interruption!

"Leave it to me!

Hartmoot is handing one magic tool after another to Clarissa, who laughs so well as she sees the knights around. I saw the one with the altar. Though giving instructions to the knights, Laobruto does not move from before it to protect the altar on which Jervagio comes out.

... Eudit's throw would have arrived.

I bite my teeth into remorse as I see the distance from Raoblut. It is unfortunate that Eudit was underage and could not be taken out.

"Sounds like Haltmoot's magic equipment works better for a silver weapon. Matthias and Angelica step back. Me and Laurenz are coming forward."

Leonore and Laurenz came forward and Angelica and Matthias came back down. The two begin to take the recovery pills they received from Haltmut near me.

"To be honest, I didn't think any of the differences in experience would struggle this far because of the gods blessings Lord Rosemaine gave me. It's like there are so many Bonifatius."

Matthias, who took turns with Laurenz, looks remorsefully at the Central Knights as they take their healing pills. I shook my head slowly, looking on the side of Matthias, a dark sense of despair, that there was so much difference even with the blessings of the gods.

"Matthias, we're not the only ones who get multiple blessings from the gods. Isn't it Aerenfest and Dunkelferger who announced how the knights could get their own blessings? Maybe it's already in the Central Knights."

They were practicing to be used by the Knights of Aerenfest when defeating the Lord of Winter, incorporating the service dance performed by Dunkelferger. Since territorial rivalries involve both royalty and their proximity, there is no wonder that the Central Knights use the service dance presented as a result of their research.

"Shall we use the ritual of the goddess of the sea?"

Once you return all your blessings to the gods, and then bless your allies again, you will have a little advantage. I hope I don't give the Central Knights room to dance their service dance again, so it's going to be worth a try.

"Dear Rosemaine, I'm joining you now!

Heishitze and the others raised their voices the moment I put out Starp. Apparently, Anastasius and the others have recovered and returned to the front. This will give you a little room. What appeased me to my comforting voice was a moment.

"Crush it before it merges! That's the weakest one over there!

Raoblut began to obstruct the rendezvous by striking a rainbow light at the Heishitzes as he ordered us to concentrate our attack.

... if we can reduce the attack power of the Raobroots at all...

I give out a stamp and draw the seal of the goddess of the sea, closing my eyes and chanting "Straitkolben" to change my wand, hoping that the Heishitzes will join me safely.

Fairfulemaire, goddess of the sea.

Swing your wand as you celebrate. In the hustle and bustle of the battle I hear there, I began to hear the noise of the tide.

"Do what!? Stop it!"

"My body's suddenly heavy!

"At least let your allies know beforehand!

Everyone was fighting with blessings. Suddenly, there appear to be many people out there who have moved strangely because they are deprived of their blessings. Though I hear a hasty voice, I will continue the ritual as it is.

"I offer my magic with a prayer of gratitude to the gods who blessed us."

Celebrate and put up the Fairfulemare wand toward the sky high. There was a sound of Don and a pillar of light standing.

... That's it. Later, if you lay a blessing on your side......

And I lifted the deformity of my staff, and opened my eyes. Exhale softly at the fever of battle and the state of the quiet auditorium, forcibly deprived of blessings from the gods.

In the meantime, I felt strange pressure.

Though difficult to describe in words, I find there is something. As I began to look around, Leonore asked me, "What's wrong, Master Rosemaine?," he asked.

"... it feels kind of weird. Strange pressure or signs from around there..."

As I said so, I pointed to the top of the altar. One man stops, who seems to have been slowly advancing his feet to a position where he can be welcomed by the Supreme God. Jervagio will be the only one out of here. I couldn't see well in the distance, and I strengthened my vision.

...... Dear old Ferdinand with silver hair!? Which looks more like Master Airvermeen?

Jervagio was about in his mid forties with silver long hair all in one on his back, a man I would only describe as "old Ferdinand". Similar enough to allow you to check your blood ties without bothering to get confirmation. Ferdinand's distant brother of the year, or so much so that I wonder if he's his father.

Jervagio looked down at this one from the top of the altar and opened his mouth.

"What the hell is this, Raoblut?

Heavy voices descended inside the auditorium where Singh and the quiet at a time as if waiting for the battle of the auditorium to subside. It would also be due in part to the fact that it was shortly after the ritual of the goddess of the sea ended. It would also be because it was the voice of those used to commanding. Those who were in the auditorium paid attention to the Lord of his voice at the same time.

"... oh, Master Jervagio! Please do not show us the Gluthris Heights that the gods have given us as a testament to true Zent!

Raoblut raises his hand against the altar as he says so in a playful voice.

Jervagio put his hand forward and chanted "Gluthris Height". The same form of scripture appears in its hands as Mestionora's Divine Fixtures. Where sandwiched by the statue of the supreme god, the man putting up the gluthris height was Zent from wherever he saw it.

"He was chosen by the gods and is a true Zent. Jürgenschmidt was saved!

Raoblut's voice sounded like he was impressed, and an enthusiastic voice rose from some of the Central Knights. Anastasius and his escort knights are turning bright blue. However, the most common blurring that spread to the auditorium was the voices of those who compared Jervagio to Ferdinand.

"... Dear Rosemaine, is he Jervagio?

"It came out of there, so I think it is"

"If you're related to Master Ferdinand, right?

"It's very similar, so there may be a relatively close connection.... but Master Ferdinand is a clan of lords of Aerenfest, Leonore"

I am to know nothing about the departure of Adalziza, nor about the birth of Ferdinand. I laughed and deceived Nicole.
