chapter 25
25 – Great Magic
Found it
The guy who kept interfering.
The guy who kept giving me unpleasant feelings.
But I can’t use my hands.
So.
Go away, you beasts.
Bite him to death.
The minimum number of soldiers to escort the refugees and the refugees were evacuated.
Speaking of monsters, most of them are low-level monsters such as wolves and goblins.
Because they are weak demons, they cannot even survive in the harsh North.
However, having gathered that many monsters together, the whole body is full of tension.
“Boss, wouldn’t it be better for you to leave with the refugees?”
Captain Dixon, whom his father had put on his throne, recommended that, but I shook my head.
“My father will kill me if I say I ran away, leaving the soldiers behind.”
“hahahaha, if it’s the count, that’s enough.”
I was joking around like this, but when the monsters narrowed the distance to a small distance, tension was evident among the soldiers.
A lot. Too many too many
“I will hold out until the cheering force arrives, or until all the refugees evacuate if that doesn’t work! Be prepared!”
“Four!”
All the soldiers fixed their weapons and shields and prepared for the horde of monsters.
I hoped that the rescue request would arrive quickly.
Emilia Silvrate was running.
The goal is Arianrod Fortress, which can be seen in the distance. The purpose is to deliver the situation and request salvation.
As for her role, Emilia stepped forward to assume it herself.
Since she was a child, Emilia’s physical abilities such as strength and fighting skills were inferior to those of her peers, but she was confident in her running speed.
Above all else, she had a strong desire to help her hometown and the territory.
‘Forward… A little…!’
At first, she summoned her own summoned beast, her silver ring ‘Bent’, and rode it on, but it seems that she did not have enough magic power to ride her Emilia and run for a long time. Summoned back
However, having managed to shorten her distance considerably, she ran the rest on her own feet.
Fortunately, there was no sign that the monster was chasing her.
She seems to have run for a while and her breath is up to her throat. She had to go
Report the situation and ask for help.
Kyaaa!!
At that time, a monster’s cry was suddenly heard.
The figure of a large monster entered Emilia’s eyes as she turned around in surprise.
Snow trolls are definitely one of the monsters that live in the northern forests.
I was a little relieved that I had already left the forest.
Emilia, who could not fight with magic because her magic power had already run out, decided to run as it was.
The snow troll, who had already found her Emilia, chased after her with menacing speed unsuitable for her size.
But just a little, Emilia was faster.
Even though she was in a hurry, Emilia felt a little relieved. As it is, she only needs to reach the fortress…
But was it a mistake for her to be so relieved? Emilia felt her own body tremble.
Her body leaned.
‘I can’t believe it…I’m almost there!!’
Feeling the cold touch of the snowy floor on her body, Emilia sighed inwardly.
If you fail here, her family, the refugees, and the cow fighting the demons are in danger…
Right behind Emilia, who was about to get up from her seat, the footsteps of a large monster came thumping.
Caught up. That’s when Emilia, who immediately felt that way, tried to avoid her body.
“Down!!”
At the same time as that voice was heard, something like the sound of wind was heard above Emilia.
aaa!!
At the same time, the scream of the monster, Emilia rolled on the floor several times with the momentum she was trying to avoid, and jumped up from her seat.
I saw two people confronting monsters.
“Snow troll… Why did he come out of the woods?”
A black-haired boy was confronting a monster with his sword drawn.
“Hmph, it would be nice to become the victim of this bloody wind.”
A girl with light green hair was holding an unknown form behind him.
It must be reinforcements!
Emilia felt that way and shouted.
“I…I’m Emilia from the Native Village! I’m being evacuated and I’m being attacked by a large monster and I want to ask for help…!”
After talking that far, the two of them immediately changed their complexion.
Among them, the black-haired boy’s expression became serious.
“Damn it, then I need to finish it quickly… Kino, let’s finish it quickly.”
“Leave it to me!!”
The battle ended really quickly.
It was a problem because the process was too radical.
“…Then talk and then write.”
The light green haired girl strikes a strange pose, and then she uses her magic to grind her snow troll in one blow.
…With such force that if the black-haired boy hadn’t hurriedly rolled to the side, he would have been crushed together.
“I calculated and wrote that you could avoid it. Asta.”
“…Don’t talk.”
To the two of them who were saying that, Emilia said.
“Thank you…For saving me!!”
“No, it’s okay, of course it’s something we have to do… More than that, is it really true that we were attacked by monsters while we were evacuating?”
“Yes…Four!! The soldiers are leading the refugees, and Sogaju is stopping the monsters with the remaining soldiers.”
“Huh…? Oppa?!”
The girl who used to speak in a low voice under the atmosphere, asked like that of an ordinary girl.
“Yes? …Could it be that you…?”
“I am Asta Wentos, the second son of the Count. Although he has a strange appearance, he is the younger sister, Kino Wentos.”
“No, you more than that! Is my brother okay? Is he okay?!”
Asta Wentos stopped Kino Wentos, a girl who asked with the momentum of a run.
“Calm down Kino, is your brother going to die so easily?”
“… Excuse me.”
“I need to organize reinforcements quickly. There aren’t that many soldiers left in the fort, but it’s better than nothing.”
Emilia saw the count’s children immediately thinking of countermeasures.
She felt relieved inwardly and felt her body loosen up.
“Are you both alright!? I don’t think you’re hurt, but…”
And there, another person’s voice was heard.
Emilia’s weakened body regained strength. Because it was the voice of someone he knew.
“The person being chased is fine… Uh…? Emmy?”
“Riel…”
It is none other than Riel Ignis, a classmate at the academy, who became a friend on the way here.
As she was running towards this side she found herself.
Emilia was relieved inwardly, but when she saw Riel’s surprised expression, she realized.
She knows that now, her ears and tail are not hidden at all.
How long has it been since you fought with the monsters?
It seems like they fought for an hour, but surprisingly, none of the soldiers died.
It was a ridiculous situation, but it was a possible situation.
These monsters, for some reason, are only targeting me.
“Protect the young master!!”
The demons paid no attention to the soldiers and charged towards me, and the soldiers were desperate to protect me.
Maybe that’s why I wasn’t without injuries while protecting myself, but all direct attacks came at me, so there were very few fatal injuries.
I was about to die.
“Uhhhhh!!”
A goblin that was about to attack me was stabbed to death by a soldier charging from the side.
From far away, a forest troll screamed and ran at me in a straight line before being pierced with arrows and javelins.
…I never thought I’d see forest trolls, not even snow trolls, in the North.
“Don’t underestimate a troll’s regenerative power! Make sure to finish off the corpse…”
“No, Bocchan. Take a look at that.”
At the words of Captain Dixon, I saw the troll’s corpse again.
There is no sign of regeneration at all.
“It’s frozen. Its regenerative powers are meaningless in this cold.”
…Well, that’s probably why there’s a snow troll.
And other monsters are no exception.
Most of the non-monsters in the north, they couldn’t adapt to the cold, so their movements were sluggish, and many just froze to death.
I and the soldiers would go crazy with the cold even if we were wearing fur clothes under our armor, but what should we do when we are naked?
But still, these guys have been charging at me.
What is this? The monsters from the neighboring territory came together as a group. Really why
At this rate, I don’t think I’ll die at the hands of monsters, but I’ll die from exhaustion.
Indeed, the faces of the soldiers showed great fatigue.
In particular, the condition of the shield soldiers was even more serious.
“Stop the enemy while defeating Jin like this!”
As the evacuation of the refugees progressed, retreats and defenses were repeated.
But I could see the rapidity of the movement getting less and less.
I am also running out of stamina.
Honestly, I wonder if I can hold out for more than tens of minutes.
No, I don’t think it’s strange that even if I hold on, it won’t be strange if the victims come out.
That was the time.
“Damn it! Why is he here?!”
With a thumping sound, a huge body was seen.
It’s an ogre.
Fortunately, it wasn’t a variant like the ‘Prison Ogre’ living in the north, but the ogre’s destructive power is not an attack that an ordinary soldier can block with a shield.
Fortunately, since he is a guy who has not adapted to living in the north, maybe his sluggish movements are even more sluggish.
But we ran out of stamina.
At this rate, great damage will be done. It wouldn’t be strange if one or two victims came out.
At that time, I felt the movement of magical power.
“Uh…?”
That is not an ordinary movement either.
A movement of magical power that can only be seen when chanting wide-range magic.
Some of the soldiers who knew about magic had similar thoughts, so their expressions changed.
However, the movement of that magical power was shooting at the enemy from behind us.
“It’s reinforcements!!”
One of the soldiers shouted.
I’m glad. Have reinforcements arrived?
When I thought that and felt relieved, the movement of magical power grew even bigger.
Wait a minute, this can’t be…
It’s not ordinary wide-range magic, but unusual magic at the level of chanting great magic.
I noticed the true nature of magic in the huge movement of magic power, and immediately shouted out on the spot.
“Evacuate!
“I knew this would happen!”
A long and unnecessarily long magic chant that is quietly heard at the same time.
Yes, since there are so many monsters gathered like that, I understand the desire to use them.
But if you use it incorrectly, even the soldiers will suffer, young lady.
“Everybody evacuate!!”
Soldiers, feeling the unusualness of my voice, evacuated as if they had forgotten how tired they were.
In the meantime, it was quite a sight to see that no one collided with each other and evacuated in line.
I didn’t know that the proficiency of the soldiers my father trained would shine here.
“Overwhelm the enemies with the storm of judgment! Tempest!!”
The completed magic grinds monsters without mercy.
Tempest, the great magic at the top of wind magic.
It is a great magic that causes a wide range of bladed wind storms to grind enemies.
I was interested in it because it is a great magic with very high power and range, but I gave up because of the extremely long chanting speed and the ignorant consumption of magic.
However, romance itself is a great magic, so he studied hard with interest.
And I had to learn it with the uselessly genius talent inherited from my mother.
“Kinooooo!! You are real!!”
“Huhahahahaha!!! You weak monsters! Soak the pure white earth with your blood!!”
Kino Wentos shouted with a satisfied expression, despite his pale face due to the rapid consumption of mana, was visible in the distance.
