The Branded Female Fencer
The Hall of Return, Part 25 - Spreading Damage
"Don't let it get you down, kid. Let me tell you something good about this brother."
"... what?
"Attack magic, can you use it?
Jake shook his head. The attack magic of the sacred system is the exclusive patent of Arnelia. Only temple knights and others who still serve Arnelia after school are allowed to master and use them. In Gloria, you can be taught witchcraft that drives away your initial opponent, but you can't be taught witchcraft that has direct killing ability.
Jake himself was heard to have qualities for witchcraft, but he naturally hasn't mastered offensive witchcraft. At the moment, all Jake could use was a sorcery that sanctified the weapon and a primary defensive sorcery that kept the evil spirits away. It also seems that mastery took considerably longer than people.
Jake explained that to Brandio, but Brandio laughed off haha briefly.
"Relationship ahem. The time to acquire and the talent have to do with it. The kind of magic you will be able to master depends on how close you have become with the Spirit to use the magic you want to master. I mean, life reflects.
If you're already a holy knight too, don't worry, even if you shut up, you can make contact with the Holy Spirit. Yeah. The supreme bishop should have performed the ritual so that it would. If I don't do anything wrong, I'll be fine. "
"Brandio's a bad thing, it's full of it, though."
"Ha ha! They took one of these!
Brandio laughs more and more at Jake's words.
"Exactly! Then Wai learned not only holy sorcery, but other sorceries as well. The mastery of holy magic will be capped once Wye's life is done. These days, the Spirit of Holy Class has turned to us. I can even worship Beppin's face. Wye is a sinful man."
"(So that magic of power...)"
To Brandio, who laughs heavily, Jake remembers a bit of a threat. I still don't see the bottom of this guy. And vessels as people.
And having finished laughing, Brandio promised Jake.
"The next time I take a break, I just want to teach you some offensive magic. I know the basics of evil. If I do it, I can just use the trick or something. Boy, don't tell the Gloria teachers?
"Fine, but... my name's not Boy, it's Jake. Remember."
"Ha! With a really busy kid. I like it!
Brandio stroked Jake's head to the next place as he brutally stroked it.
"Ghaaaa!
"Fall back while forming a circle! Injured, lower back!
"No! There's a rookie in the rear, too!
"I'll do that one."
Renatica responded first to the cries of the monks, who were also close to screaming. When she cut in like a disease, she finished off four Hekatonkails in an instant. And to an offense that stopped for a moment, Renatica signals Aristotle at the behest.
"All right, back off!
Under Aristotle's decree, the knights retreated simultaneously. From behind one of the previous rows being cut together, one attack magic after another is released. Aristotle and Aristotle retreated using the gap they had been able to make.
Fortunately, there was no enemy pursuit. Because the retreating hallway was narrow, once the enemy loosened his hand in the attack. When Aristotle checks the perimeter for safety, he builds a simple base and reports it to his men.
"How many wounded?
"Four dead. It's Knight 1, Monk 1, Sister 2. Another almo with one arm dropped is seriously injured. Malu is also deeply cut off his left leg. Whether to connect on this occasion..."
"Well, you got pretty fucked. But I didn't destroy them all, so thank you."
"Or. Thank you to Lisa and Lord Lunatica"
As the knight who reported to Aristotle said, it was close to a miracle just to spare the total annihilation. There was a raid when Lisa and Lunatica beat up about 70%. Even Aristotle was attacked by more than 50 enemies while he was still conscious. It wasn't weird that half of them were dead.
Moreover, the enemy was a mixture of Hekatonkail and the army of the Demon King. I don't know what would have happened by now if Lunatica hadn't driven against the Demon King, who has the nature to absorb attacks and witchcraft, and thrown the explosives she has on her back sword.
But when the demon king died, Hekatonkail's offense did not stop, causing much damage. And what Aristotle sees as a threat was Hekatonkale's organized move.
"(Unlike the report... I thought Hekatonkail's move was more cluttered. How about that? It was an organized move of sophistication as if we were fighting the most elite in some country. Only one soldier with a different appearance was behind him. Was that the Admiral?
Aristotle recalls Hekatonkail with a large, horned helmet who was watching the battle go without joining the battle. Who didn't just make it slight, but just stared at this one. Aristotle turns around to see if he was a commander, but now there's no way to be sure.
Aristotle looks around at the wounded soldiers. Exactly. Arnelia's elites were blue-faced, yet doing the work they could do right now. I guess no one talks extra and can always move by Aristotle's decree. Aristotle saw the trained soldiers and learned reliability.
Lisa and Renatica, on the other hand, continue their discussions with Hiccup.
"(Luna, are you hurt?
"(It's a scratch, no problem. What about Lisa?)"
"(Thanks to you, it's intact. But I don't know what will happen any more. I was wondering if another raid of the same magnitude would be a very bad thing)"
"(Yes, Lisa is right. And that can happen anytime)"
"(Yeah, that's right)"
With that said, Lisa and Lunatica had the same thoughts. The discomfort I have felt ever since I entered this hall. Lisa and Renatica were aware as soon as possible of that gaze, which they felt licking around. The Lord of Sight sees himself everywhere. Lisa didn't stop moving forward because she realized that fact.
"(Long-term battles are unfavourable. Because they are the owners of this hall)"
"(Oh. Overwhelmingly advantageous in battle is the set-up. Whenever you like, you can start a fight)"
"(That's true, too, but that's not all. The true abilities of the enemy will probably be demonstrated when we sleep)"
"(What?
Lisa's words were heard, and Renatica rarely listened back. These two relationships are basically preserved by Renatica's submission to Lisa.
"(Okay, Luna. I just realized when I slept a little...)"
Lisa almost said that much, and Renatica got up all the time and pushed Lisa down. On top of that, an arrow passes with fierce momentum.
