The Little Duchess’ Home Tutor
Episode 40 Showdown! Magic City!! That ④
We were the first to reach the Marquis of Addison.
The bone dragon that was flying just now seems to have gathered in the Capitol where Arthur and Ridley headed, and there is no sign of it in the sky.
Zoey and Gil muttered as they swept through the surrounding skeleton soldiers in front of the innocent, creepy-looking Mansion.
"... no enemy soldiers?"
"Up to this point, there were no residents." Is this the only city in the world...? "
"Don't be alarmed, both of you."
I touched the ground with the stone of a wand and activated the Wide-area Discovery Magic.
Ice breezes blow, and sparkling snowflakes pour into the entire vast mansion.
... hmm?
"Senpai Allen?" "Something wrong?"
The two juniors asked half shocked and half anxious.
I waved my wand around the Mansion and taught them the results of my detection while stretching the Purification Barrier for the Skeleton Warriors.
"The number of people with the wrong magic power in the Mansion has decreased." There's only one person left. "
"... an apostle like you?" "All you have to do is hope!"
No.
I shook my head and put my left hand on the huge front gate that was closed.
When I pressed hard, I started to make a sound and open it.
"It looks like they're not messengers or 'wise men'." There's no skeletons, no magic power. "
"Well then..." "That's him..."
Gil and Zoey squeezed their faces and clasped their axe spears and great swords.
― ― Isolde Talito.
A girl who had fallen into the [vampire] herself because of Artie Addison.
After opening the main gate, I instructed the two juniors with my left hand.
Soon, Gil and Zoey came forward.
"Isolde's magic power is certainly powerful." But... she had very little combat experience of her own. And if the opponent exercises only strong magic power, you can deal with it however you want. "
"And yet, it's left alone." "I mean... it's a trap!"
The juniors stacked their body strengthening magic on top of each other.
A magical creature stops on Arthur's shoulders to inform us of the situation.
"There are countless skeletons to capture in the Capitol. Addison Mansion, expected slightly delayed arrival. A sign of some kind of a plot against the enemy. I was too cautious."
It seemed that Laranore's heroes had made the same decision.
Perhaps the apostles stayed in the Mansion knowing that they could be sensed by the area detection magic.
... So where did they go?
With Cheryl around, we can figure out how many people there are with light attribute detection magic that covers the entire city, but I'm not asking for anything.
"Senpai Allen, what do you want to do?" "... do you want to attack?"
Gil and Zoey turned around and asked me anxiously.
Compared to other college students, my juniors are diving through Shura.
Half of it is professor. The remaining 40% is due to Lydia... but even the two of them don't feel uncomfortable on the battlefield this time.
I turned the wand and smiled bitterly.
"Actually, I want to wait for Arthur and the others to arrive... but I don't think so." She's here. "
There was a girl standing in the mansion in front of her, on the roof, who had not been there before.
She wore a pure white hooded robe edged with crimson and was barefoot.
You don't have anything in your hand and you're slapping me with a tremendous murderous intent.
― ― Isolde Talito.
Gill spins the lightning attribute extreme magic "Thunder King Tiger", and Zoey holds the great sword in both hands and watches the gusts of wind. If I give you my orders, you'll be ready to charge right away.
Tell the girl honestly.
"Let's stop. We have no reason to fight you."... where are the apostles? "
"... even if it's not for you, I have it..."
Isolde's magic power increased, and her hair rose.
It was certainly powerful.
But... they were inferior to the [Wise Man] and the [Rotten Dragon].
And Isolde Talito is an amateur in combat, and the time of day.
We can't deal with the three of us. [M]
I will notify you again.
"...... I will only ask you again. Where are the apostles?"
If you want to know, just knock me down and ask!
Isolde leapt as she broke the roof.
I came down suddenly. [M]
"Let me cum!" "Don't lick me!"
Gil unleashed the [Thunder King Tiger] and slammed the wind that Zoey was holding onto the Great Sword against the girl.
A magic barrier that is unique to vampires and far beyond the realm of people unfolds, forcing the two to suppress their magic and land.
I'm going to run through the ground and I'm going to burst into it.
"That's why!" "You're licking me!"
Gil and Zoey reacted instantly.
I intercepted the girl and hit her with the axe spear and the great sword at the same time.
"Don't get in my way!!!!!!"
With the impact of magic power, Isolde rushed toward me.
She pushed her right hand out like a spear.
What's the matter!?
The ice branches intertwined the limbs and stopped in the air.
The branches are crushed one after another, but the number increases faster than that, stopping the terrible vampire from moving.
... it's a big wand.
And this way. Perhaps we can draw more strength if the inscription is found out?
When this battle is over, we must return it to Arthur.
With that in mind, I turned back to the girl with the anger in her eyes.
"... I'm sorry about Artie."
"Shut up! You said Artie's name!!!!! You killed my Artie!!!!"
"What? -"
"Senpai Allen!" "Empty!"
The sun suddenly shaded.
The sun chipped and turned into the moon as if it were stained with blood.
I can't believe it....
"I-Is this... strategically forbidden magic!?" No way the apostles weren't at the Mansion! Gil, Zoey! Fall back!! "
Y-Yes!
Soon, we took a great distance from Isolde and retreated.
The girl's eyes and hair were dyed crimson, and the magic power swelled up all at once.
Gil and Zoey were the best.
"I-It's..." "It's under the moonlight...!"
That's not good.
The icy branches were shattered, fluttering and turning away, and Isolde floated up in the air with her eyes closed.
I was defenseless, but I couldn't help it. Until then... the magic digits are different.
The girl opened her eyes slowly.
"...... Master Artie is my half-body. My life. My... beloved..."
Ahh!
The fierce wind blew, and the entire Magic City became red, red, and dyed.
The girl's back was filled with bat-like wings, and a blood sword was revealed in her hands.
An incredible outpouring of hatred.
I recall a passage from the literature that I once examined. Vampires gain strength with hatred.
"I can forgive you for taking such a person!" I'll kill you with my hands! I'm gonna kill you!! And even if my life were to be shattered here!!! "
