Section 13 Receiving Enemy

Magic falls into three broad categories.

What you exercise with the help of the Spirit.

Something that invokes and causes the Spirit to exercise himself.

And what the Spirit himself exercises.

"Caroloo!! I'm getting close to that sphere!!

The shield of confusion is ineffective against magic that has a physical action. So the magic of dissolving and magma the stones used by that sphere is probably also unprotected.

So we need to stop that magic by another means.

"Mm-hmm..."

Speaking that way to Carol, who is nearest, she looked behind.

Your sister Gnome is holding the hand of her sister Gnome, who laid her body on the towel. Mr. Rosé continues to utter words of prayer with a serious expression and is in the process of treating where he has once collapsed.

It's going to take a little longer to fully heal if it feels like I saw it. So I can't have Mr. Rosé follow me yet.

"Fine. I'm protecting you here in Atashi and Goltmund, so go. But Saluena and Toslin have to stop their enemies at both ends, so get Ritzereich and Eichel to take them."

"Okay."

Nodding, I take a deep breath.

Jump into over a hundred Bold Loire herds from now on. This becomes a genuine, life-threatening assault because we do not know how far the defensive junction of unicorns can withstand.

……

But I don't have a choice not to go. If I saw that look that worried my sister and desperately wished her well, I couldn't help but move.

"Let's go, Laplice!! Don't fall down!

I grabbed the hyena and ran the unicorn. A hoof slaps the hard floor and the child sounds pleasant.

"Come on, seriously. If this is the case, you should have gotten on Gortmund."

"Don't say that. Laplice is the only one who sees magic."

It's the kind of magic that that sphere uses, but of the first three I mentioned, it's unlimited to be the first.

I don't care how you look at it. Except for the story, if that was like Ritzereich's demon-guided outer shell, and he was just a person wrapped around it, it looks pretty much the size of an impossibility for one person to enter.

"Rizzelaich!! Master Eichel!!

He jumped over the fallen Bold Loire, scratched (or snubbed), and rushed right over to Ritzereich and Lady Eichel.

They beat and cut each other up a little further away from each other depending on allowances. The cavalry statues wave down their weapons from all sides, but they are doing all of them. It's like he's got eyes on his back, too.

"Irie zuck!? Did you come to show me who you are!?

"I don't know!! Take Iris near that sphere!!

"... I see, you keep me from using magic"

I can feel room for both of you when it comes to being in a state of turmoil. Boulders are brave men and vice presidents of the White Lily Knights.

"Yes, so I'm sorry..."

Kickin '! And there was a noise from the side. The sound of Bold Loire's huge sword being held back by Unicorn's defensive junction.

Now I know I can take the offense, but on one of them, Pisces... and a crack ran.

"Yeah, I can't stand it more than once."

"I don't know. Well, the Iris relied on me for that. We have to live up to that expectation...

When Ritzereich reaches out, the arm of the exorcist shell protrudes in tandem with its movement. When I wondered if a thick metal finger had gasped Bold Loire's head, I tried to rip it off and smash it.

"Laughing and snapping his neck off, he can't do it."

Surrounded by giant knight statues on all sides, I kind of learned the illusion that I had become even a dwarf.

In the dark, the giant knight statue, illuminated by lights and floating, is deeply engraved with the shadows created by the light, more powerful to see. If I were so alone, and surrounded by more than one, I would surely stand up for nothing with fear.

I can barely ignore that fear because I have company. Because there are people who can protect me.

"You don't need to defeat me, Eichel. You just have to break your legs and let them sleep."

"Okay."

Ritzereich directs, and Lady Eichel obeys. I still don't know much about the relationship between the two of them, but I just feel shitty that they're people I can count on.

"Do you know where it is?

Ritzereich knows I can borrow Phoenix's sight. That's why I wanted to.

"Yeah, that way"

If you borrow her eyes flying overhead, you won't lose sight of your destination even in this place filled by giant statues as far as you can see.

Pointing in one direction of the sphere, Ritzereich began to run in the lead.

"Well, here we come!!

She punched the foot of a statue like a great tree that was closest to her and slipped right through it.

"Don't be underneath when you're late, keep up!!

Zushin, Zushin and the Knight statue arrive to eliminate us from trying to get close to the sphere. But the big body is disastrous and can't capture us moving quickly.

"It's off to the right!! Turn left a little bit!!

He sometimes directs Ritzereich as he pushes his enemies down.

Floor swayed by the self-weight of the giant statues. Perhaps it would even be difficult for me to stand. Still, Mr. Ritzereich and Eicher proceed without going through with it.

Unicorns also lay boundaries on the floor and are not affected by shaking because they move on top of it. The number of junctions to turn to defense is decreasing for that matter, but since Ritzereich is kicking the stuck knight statue at tremendous speed, you don't seem to have to worry about running out of numbers

"Oh, I see it. It looks surprisingly big when you look nearby."

From the clearance of the forested giant statue, a sphere was seen floating about a few meters from the floor. That looked black in the distance, but it is illuminated by the light of unicorns and phenicons. It is deep blue and has a structure like a combination of bricks. Now, the surface was glowing like polished out.

The size, I don't know exactly, is about a meter in diameter. I knew it wasn't the size that people would let in.

"Laplice, how's it going?

"Oh, it's not weird whenever magic is activated. It builds up magic. Whatever your sisters are, it's not good if they're after Norm. If you're gonna do it, you better hurry."

If such magic strikes an injured and immobile gnome, they will drink it. There's a dozen more meters from the blue sphere, but this distance also delivers my magic.

"Ritzereich, go here!!

"Copy that. I'll take care of the destruction of that sphere. But only in the center and the number of enemies is terrific. If it's not my daughter-in-law's wish, I'll be back on my heels and immediately dispersed."

Rizzelaich spilling stupidity, but I can't afford to be poking around right now. I ignored it and saw Master Eichel behind me.

"Dear Achel, if you'll excuse me, I'd like to stay with you a little longer."

"We're friends. Friends are helpful things. So don't worry about it."

She said so with a refreshing grin and even winked. What a princess trick. If I were Charlie, I would have had my eyes in my heart.

"Thank you"

Develop defensive junctions in a way that surrounds us and inhibits Bold Loire's further proximity. Naturally the enemy will try to destroy it, but there is now a little temporal respite to be destroyed.

In a little while, destroy the blue sphere. That's the surest way we can take it now to save the damaged Gnome.

"Whoa, the magic is swelling up! Iris, stop it!!

As I said, physical magic is hard to prevent with a shield of confusion.

Spears of piercing cannot dispel magic that does not require connection with the Spirit.

So what can we do to counter the magic exercised by the Spirit, or by the Spirit itself?

"Yeah, okay"

The technique was also written in a book entrusted to me by my grandfather.
