The Little Duchess’ Home Tutor

Lesson 48: The Cathedral

Gil and I entrusted the winged serpent, called the [Dragon], and Alice and Arthur rushed to the Magic City.

To be honest, I couldn't have followed them with the only physical strengthening magic I could use.

"...... I'll have to thank the dragon later."

As I jumped from the roof of the building to the roof, I clasped my wand.

Even with the thunder that I had just fired, I was sure that I had used a lot of magic power, but I couldn't see the bottom at all.

"Dragons" and "Heroes" were amazing after all - the ice birds on their heads stepped on the ground.



Apparently, I'm amazing too! The problem is Tina!! They want to say '.'

... you're making me worse than I thought.

I grabbed the magic wand from my left hand and activated sensing magic on my surroundings.

Apparently, many of the inhabitants are hiding in buildings and some are evacuating outside the city.

"... not only the soldiers, but also the Holy Spirit Knight and the Magic Soldier?" What is this, Arthur? "

"I don't know! The resistance of the Capitol was also weak!! There was no one who was the Lord!!!"

The hero who preceded me taught me how to spin dexterously in the air.

The main known enemies were the Apostles and the [Wise Men]. And the Bone Dragon that was in service. Isolde was already sealed. I thought the powerful cultivators on the heaven and earth side would appear here, but isn't that right?

Doubtfully, Alice kicked the walls of the building and pointed it out.

"Easy--all of them were made into" "" Tsubaki "" "."



Arthur and I unexpectedly chanted our words.

"Tsubaki"... the number of people on the side of the Heavenly and Earth Party is lightly over ten thousand even if they are under-estimated.

You sacrificed all those people!?

if it's true.....

"Crazy!" "That's why! We have to stop it!!"

Arthur speeded up and jumped ahead of us.

― ― In front of me, I saw a huge, old cathedral surrounding me.

It's the Holy Spirit Cathedral.

A heavy strategic barrier lies around us. It was preventing the detection of magic.

Descend to the ground and ask Arthur and Alice.

What are you going to do? Um, breaking the barrier--

"No argument! I'm pushing through!!!!"

The hero of Laranore pulled out his two swords, raised them high and unleashed a merciless slash.

I came into contact with the barrier.

"Ahh!"

Arthur's slash has cleared the strategic barrier with a roar. At the same time, the main gate of the cathedral and the stone walls are collapsed and made naked.

... the "Seven Heavens" of Laranore, that's ridiculous.

When I was a little dazed, Alice opened her mouth in a serious tone.

"Allen - This time, the expected opponent is terrifyingly strong." Never be alarmed. If it showed, I could use the Dragon Wand to crush it. In the worst case, it is also allowed to use the power of [Ice Crane] [Thunder Fox] [Flame Rin]. "

"... Roger!"

I don't have a habit of questioning the words of [Hero].

... even so, in addition to crushing the Flower Dragon's staff, it also draws out the power of the Great Spirit Three Pillars. I'm not as confident as the [Ice Crane] that's hanging over my head.

While fighting, Arthur narrowed his eyes and shouted forward.

"I know you're there!" Come out!! If you don't come out, I'll bury you in the cathedral!!! "

"...... I'm a man in May. Even though it's Rotlingen, it's very uncomfortable to have domination."

It was the man in the hooded coat who blew out the smoke. He has an ancient cane in his hand.

... this man.

I ask in a steep tone. [M]

"You're the real 'Wise Man'" "Allen, no. You're a mischief."

"...... you'll tell me. As always, being a 'brave' is arrogant."

The man threw up in agony and struck the ground with his cane.

Then a magic circle emerges and three apostles and a boy roll. Artie Addison!

The apostles were Edith and Ibsinul... the other one was reinforcements?

The messengers knelt down to the [Wise Man] as I revised the opponent's assumed combat power upwards.

"I'm ready." "Anytime."

"-Really, Apostle Elios. Really, really good, huh? If you use this magic, you will definitely die?"

"Hah! But--I am dedicated to the Holy Mother." If my life can fulfill that person's wishes!! "

"--Good job, Edith, Ibsinulu."

"... yes" "... I'm sorry, but I can't help it"

The two apostles from the last battle seem unhappy with the new apostles who show upbeat. What the hell are you doing?

Alice held it high as she turned the wand around.

Magic power gathered far beyond the realm of people, the heavens and the earth began to beat, and countless lightning struck the cathedral and wore the ground.

A beautiful girl with white blonde hair spoke coldly to the [Wise Men].

Have you finished your theatrics?

"Ah, well done, contemporary [Hero]!" Although you and [Dragon] appeared a little earlier than expected ─ ─ "

"! Arthur!!" "Oh!"

I activated Plant Magic on Elios and restrained him.

Arthur crossed his swords and slashed mercilessly. Alice also unleashed the thunderclap.

[Wise Man] raises his hood with his fingers and laughs at us with his red glowing eyes.

"I'm already late!!!!! Viola!!!!!"

─ ― From the shadows of the apostles, a girl in a grey robe popped out and clearly saw Elios' heart pierced with a long blade.

The flash runs, then the big impact runs.

Arthur's monologue pounded his ears as he stood his staff forward.

The voice of the hero... is trembling with unbelievable things.

"...... I see. Was that what you were going to do from the beginning?"

My own body began to tremble on its own, and I gripped and closed my cane painfully.

--This magic power.

Alice sharpened her eyes and touched the handle of the sword.



All of a sudden, it was unleashed.

A gruesome metallic sound echoed, and a huge steel spear thrown from the front was cut and pierced deeply into the cobblestone.

― ― Earth smoke clears up.

With a half-broken cathedral on its back, Addison floats in the air with his dull metal twin feathers. W-What is this!?

The figure of Elios stung by the viola just now disappeared, and only the fresh-blooded magic circle shone creepily. I saw the [Wise Men] entering the cathedral.

Alice uttered a bitter word.

“The Addison family was studying a lot of magic to survive the War of Independence with Eusten. Among them was Rotlingen's secret curse. It was the most ferocious and worst of them all - the expression of" Artificial Angel ". It is a mimicry of the existence of the power of God in the past, which was also the cause of the decline of the old empire that conscripted the continent.... be careful. He used to kill several [Dragons] as well."
