Raydor Holy Sword War Journal
184. Knight's Curse
"Lord Leidor... and one more thing to report... go-go-go-go-go!"
Gordo's men opened their mouths again as they coughed.
"We, the soldiers under Captain Gordo's umbrella..." And many of the evacuees who lived here have developed strange diseases. Besides... unexplained starvation (er), even dryness "
The soldier says that and strokes his throat.
"... apparently, an unexplained illness is spreading. You are getting sick every day and you can't stop coughing, and some of your buddies have been spitting blood. And no matter how much you eat, your stomach won't be satisfied."
"Oh, that's the ultimate knight's ability." Was there still a "plague" and a "famine" coming? "
Neimilia pushed her mouth across Raidor's shoulder.
“Their power is to put a curse on the land itself, not on a specific individual. The ability of the [plague] is to make disease prevalent. The ability of" Famine "brings unmet hunger and thirst. Both can have a very wide-ranging and massive effect.”
"Speaking of which... the evacuees who passed by along the way were feeling sick, too."
Many of the evacuees heading east were as thin and pale as the soldiers in front of them. Apparently, they were also affected by the aptitude of the Doomsday Knight.
"Plague and famine... I see, that's a terrifying ability."
Raydor frowned and contemplated.
The ability of "Plague" and "Famine" is also a power connected to the Holy Sword Derinslaive. However, in terms of the number of people who can influence at once, the Knight's ability will be increased.
Darlinslave's curse could only be placed on the enemy in front of him, who was slashed with a blade of passion. In contrast, a knight's abilities are extremely troublesome because they can also be effective against humans who are far away.
"We're already in the effect range, aren't we?" It's not surprising that at any time, some of our soldiers show up with diseases and starvation. "
There will be no greater power than that of the one who leads the army, the one who rules the people.
[Plague] and [Famine] - both monsters must not advance any further into the Kingdom.
"That's right. Even in the [Taishu disaster] 300 years ago, the western part of the continent turned into hell." Fortunately, their abilities are not immediately effective, and it will take some time for them to be effective. ”
Neimilia leaned her neck and replenished it.
"The curse on the land becomes stronger and stronger over time." It's not the ability to be effective overnight, but after enough time, the effect of the curse will increase. "
In other words, it's a quick move. We need to take out two knights as soon as possible.
"That's right. It looks like the curse has already spread to this land, but at this stage, it can be contained with my help." I'm going to be devoted to curse suppression, so I won't be able to take part in the battle..... "
"Never mind. The enemy will take care of it with me and my soldiers."
What Raydor feared most was that his soldiers would be crippled by disease and starvation.
It's like leading a sick soldier to the battlefield and offering a lamb before a wolf. It must have been ravaged in an instant.
Since the enemy forces are immortal, they can invade without worrying about damage, but we are living people. It is not easy to change.
Victory must be based on the premise of minimizing the number of people killed in action.
"Decursing the effects of the curse is of paramount importance." Even if I were to take you out of the fight, I would have to prioritize my efforts. "
"Ok. Now let's..."
Neimilia hugged Raydor's waist, her arms turned forward and embraced her.
Then ─ ─ she chanted the words of the spell while pressing her lips against the back of the Lord.
"Fallen, saint, blessed be the darkness -" "Corruption Sanctuary" "Lilith Sanctuary" "
At that moment, a gigantic magic circle emerged, centered around Raydor and Neimiglia.
Inside the circular geometry is an ancient language that is difficult to decipher, emitting a pale light and expanding.
The light eventually swallowed up the entire kingdom army, but it still spread to the western part of the kingdom without settling down.
Hmm, this will do fine.
Neimilia exhales with Raidor in her arms. At the same time, the magic circle and the pale light disappeared.
There is no change in the surrounding scenery. There is nothing visible that has changed.
However... the heavy air that had drifted around before was being wiped out, and Gordo's soldiers, who were supposed to be suffering from disease and starvation, looked better.
"Now the power of the curse on this land has disappeared." The knight's influence should be contained for a while. ”
Neimilia's expression was so clear that she had just finished her work. She pressed her face against the back of the Lord and snorted her nose.
As usual, it was a nervous attitude... but Raydor was amazed by its incredible power.
Neimilia applied her magic to a vast area that stretched over hundreds of kilometers. I couldn't imagine how much magic I would be able to activate on such a large scale.
It used to be Neimilia, who was sealed by the ruins and lost her power, but she also regained her power by passing through the "Witch's Resurrection Sacrifice".
"I wanted to say thank you... but did you have any reason to hold on to me?"
Of course! You can't help yourself without replenishing your master's ingredients!
Neymilia naturally asserts herself and strengthens her embracing arm.
The appearance of asserting selfish reasoning is like a child, and it seems very unlikely that he is a witch who has just exerted overwhelming power.
"... what kind of reason is that?"
Raydor sighed and dropped his shoulder as he rubbed his body against Neimiglia as if he were claiming ownership.
