The Branded Female Fencer

Battle of the Dark Forest, Part 5 - Karevan ① -

"I'm alarmed, damn it! It's not a normal forest, for sure."

"Sorcery?

"I guess that means I got hurt. If it was just a physical attack, it would have been a diversion."

"I see, it's certainly not an ordinary forest"

Titania had also detected the anomaly of this forest, pulling out the sword on her back. Because the woods are even more killer, and sometimes they are approaching them. It was as if the forest had wandered deliberately like a creature, approaching the lifeless.

I laugh as Lifeless sees interesting things.

"Doom, let's hear one thing. Which do you prefer to burn or erase?

"Um, personally, I think it's the way to burn it"

"Come on."

Answer but quickly, Lifeless was releasing fire balls in all directions, turning the forest into a sea of fire in an instant. The leaves burned off in an instant, and the branches made a crisp noise and broke, but the great trunk was not so easily frightened by fire. That's where I came forward: Titania, Dortmund, Lissy, Ridil and Osiria.

"We'll take down the big trees."

"King, I'll take care of the exposures."

"Tetra, can I pull it out too?"

"... destroy"

"Doom, I'm gonna smash you."

"" "I left it to you" "

When Lifeless and Tetrastine, and Doom's voice, chanted, a whirlwind-like sword trident left no tree approaching to shred. Lifeless and Tetrastine unleash fireballs as they sew between the swords, burning the woods one after the other. Their attacks were not met, they were not disturbed, they were led, and they crushed the woods as if they were one creature.

And when the forest, which is alone in sight, burns down, Lyrefs advances.

"You don't seem to be resistant."

"Good luck with that."

"It was a medium attack. I don't think one of us could do it to that extent, but if that attack continued, we might have been forced to retreat."

"Right. Doesn't look like he was really attacking us, or maybe it was meant for our retreat."

In one word of Tetrastine, a common gaze gathers.

"What do you mean?

"Lifeless, you'll see. We also use the magic of tree attributes. This attack is witchcraft. A very high-ranking sorcery that moves the forest itself. There is the magic of using a tree to capture an opponent's" bondage tree (Thornbind), "but I guess that's a higher application. A little bit, it could be a magical realm. They'll hurt us enough to keep us from moving, but probably not kill us. Anomaly will be safe by now.

The problem is that someone let this go. He's probably Calevan, but if he is, he's a pretty dangerous guy. When it comes to using magic enough to stop us... "

"Coming."

He stared at a point and crawled on all fours like a beast, as Riddill suddenly reacted to something. Everyone's attention is drawn ahead of Lidil's gaze.

There was certainly a shadow of someone walking slowly toward the lifeless.

"People...?

"Is that Calevan? You're small."

Dortmund doubted my eyes, and Doom accidentally divulged his honest thoughts. There was something walking in the form of a person slightly smaller than an adult man. Just because the figure was far from a person, with two hands on his bipedal foot, and a people-like expression had bare eyes, no nose, no mouth, no hair, and a figure of a wooden doll creeping out into a people-shaped walking. He wears green everywhere on his arms and body-like areas, and small animals glance at him from what looks like a puffy, empty body. At first glance to its peaceful appearance, Doom laughed unexpectedly.

"What the hell? Trent would be funnier. You lost it in anticipation of what kind of monster because you're the subject of a legendary crusade, huh?

Doom asked everyone on the spot for their consent, but no reply was received from anyone. That's how Lifeless crossed the limits of patience, he opened his mouth with a laugh.

"Hahahahahahaha! Doom, don't talk lightly. I'm so stupid I don't know how strong it is."

"... Shit. So, how long is it?

"Right. A good battle with the Great Demon King I once did... no, stronger than that? I thought it was a boring job, but I'll give you a compliment, Doom. Apparently you console my boredom a lot!

"Uh, yes, yes, is that right? Good luck with that, then."

When Doom left it to Lifeless to try to back off, he bumped into someone behind him. When Doom looked up, Titania stood there, more murderous than he'd ever seen.

"Doom, where are you going?

"Um, is it everyone's backup?

"I can't allow it. Fight on the front lines."

Titania was brief and told to order a word. That's right, Doom gets cocky, too.

"Come on, you want to give me an order? You have every right to..."

That's good. Doom drank his words. Because the Titania in front of me looked like something else. There is no such thing as the usual beautifully flamboyant Titania. He was one swordsman who was called the Sword Emperor and shook the continent.

Too compelling, Doom even stopped resisting with words.

"This is not an order, Doom. As a fighter, I'm not sure you were behind this. I don't want you stabbing me in the back during the battle."

"... why are you so worried?"

"I'm sorry, but I don't trust you with this either. To the untrustworthy, I am not stupid enough to keep my back. Besides, you can't worry about your back while fighting that enemy.

That's why I want you to fight shoulder to shoulder. Then I don't have to worry about you. If you say you can't do that... "

Titania's words had a difficult weight to defy. You don't have to listen to the rest of the words. If you say no, Doom will be wiped out on the spot. Doom himself does not know what method to use to die, but only the certainty was strange.

"Okay, I'll fight you, too."

"Good bye."

Doom leaned forward reluctantly as he followed Titania's words in a cold sweat. Titania also follows Doom.

And it's Lydill who cuts ahead. It was very doubtful whether Riddill would have any more reason as a person, but he was in a forward leaning position, pulling out his sword and slightly dropping his hips, as when he was called a brave man, taking a poking stance.
