Chapter 48 : Showti
“Right, you did well.”
I nodded simply.
Because Sherazade had actually completed what she promised very excellently.
“I, can make people fly freely in the sky.”
The mont I heard the hidden card Sherazade presented last, a month ago.
I ca up with the optimal strategy to deal with Kelbes and the royal guard Sub-Dragons.
And now that the battle with the Sub-Dragons has begun,
“I will take the neck, Milton you take the shoulder, Maris I don't know about you! Just stab anywhere!”
“That guy is swinging his tail! Watch out. You will die even if grazed!”
Haken, who beca pouring teors embroidering the battlefield.
They were engaged in a fierce battle, clinging to each targeted royal guard Sub-Dragon.
Vroom!
“Hiek!”
“You bastard! Won't you open your eyes properly! Do you want to die here?!”
Pierce, who snatched a colleague who was almost hit directly by the tail swung by a Sub-Dragon, grabbed the colleague's nape and growled.
“Kek, kek. Big Brother, it looks like I will die by your hand first rather than the tail, so please let go of this hand…….”
“Tch, stupid bastard. Hey, shut up and it is fireworks. Get ready!”
Pierce grabbed one colleague in each hand and then applied strength.
Then Pierce's triceps, which were already huge, swelled up with fierce montum.
“Eat this!”
And then he threw the two colleagues with all his might.
Rip-!
The swords of the Haken Knights, which beca fireworks shot in the void, pierced through the royal guard Sub-Dragon's wings as they were.
“Kaaak!”
The Sub-Dragon lost its wings in an instant.
A scream burst out in heaven and earth.
“Haa!”
At that ti, a young knight holding a greatsword twice as large as that of regular soldiers attempted to charge at the Sub-Dragon that lost its wings with fierce montum.
Crunch!
The greatsword flashing blue light pierced the Sub-Dragon's neck as it was.
The young knight drew out all the Blade Aura he could draw by concentrating all his strength, and using the recoil of jumping in, he threw his whole body as it was.
Rip rip rip!
Along with the dull sound of skin tearing, the Sub-Dragon's neck was torn left and right.
The mont the first casualty among the royal guard Sub-Dragons occurred.
The knight who cut its neck raised his hand high and announced the news of victory.
“What! Is Vice-Commander Ismael first?”
“That one just now is invalid! Vice-Commander Ismael snatched what we even seasoned. That one just now is invalid, invalid!”
I, who was watching that appearance from beginning to end, nodded.
‘Even if they have lived for a long ti, they wouldn't have experienced a raid falling from above their heads.’
Operation na ‘teor Shower’.
The day Sherazade made the mbers experience the aerial assault firsthand for the first ti with a single finger.
I smiled with my arms crossed in front of the mbers who turned pale.
Like that, at the end of hellish training repeating dizzying falls thousands, tens of thousands of tis, Haken finally fully mastered the movents necessary for the assault operation.
“Where do you dare to flutter your tongue!”
Pierce cut off the tongue of a Sub-Dragon opening its mouth to spew fire with the axes held in both hands.
I sensed that the ti to wrap things up was slowly coming.
“Seems like you overdid it.”
“Actually a little. Hehe.”
“Not much is left. Focus until the end.”
People's gazes were all focused on the Haken Knight Order.
I closed my eyes and entered into chanting a spell.
Shhh-
Then blue light began to spew out centering on Sherazade.
Soon her body floated gently in the void.
“Uh! Look over there! Light is coming out from the Princess's body!”
The gazes of the soldiers, who detected the abnormal phenonon occurring in her body, focused.
“Everyone, this is the last strength I can give you.”
Sherazade closed her eyes.
And after gathering both hands together like offering a prayer, she shouted in a clear voice.
‘It is now!’
At that mont when I confird that all soldiers' gazes were focused on her, I finished the spell.
Gooooo-
Light.
Trendous light that could not even be compared to until now burst out drawing concentric circles centering on Sherazade.
“T-The wounds all disappeared!”
“Strength is overflowing in my body!”
Stamina and mana were recovered starting from the places the light passed.
Exclamations burst out from the soldiers' mouths.
The 7th Circle Unique Spell ‘Arc Hill’ I cast showed its effect.
Slide-
“Then…… please take care of the rest.”
At the sa ti, Sherazade showed a faint smile and collapsed on the spot.
Before anyone knew it, a thin stream of blood leaked from the corner of her mouth.
“P-Princess used recovery magic and collapsed!”
“Princess for us!!”
“These beggarly lizard bastards! I will kill you all!!!”
Sherazade's appearance right now was the beautiful ‘Saintess’ herself who collapsed after doing her best no matter who looked at it.
The morale of the soldiers who witnessed this beautiful scene reached the very peak.
And inside my head who directed this show.
[I did well, right? I did well, right?]
The voice of the lead actress who perford amazing passionate acting rang out.
‘She acts better than I thought.’
I nodded with a deliberately satisfied expression.
‘Well, fine. Since this kind of showmanship is also necessary.’
The biggest reason I planned the show was to hide the fact that I use magic, but that was not the entire reason.
“The Princess's miracle moved to the Young Master!”
Before anyone knew it, the light that dwelt in Sherazade's body wrapped around my body as it was.
I flew up into the void to finish the show rushing towards the climax.
Clack.
Soon after, as if covering , harpoons shot by soldiers flew in again aiming for the Sub-Dragons.
“Karek!”
The harpoons, which fully recovered their energy thanks to Arc Hill, dragged down the remaining Sub-Dragons that were not yet shot down.
“Caught one! This back belongs to us!”
Matching the timing, the royal guard Sub-Dragons, which were being chopped up by dozens of Haken Knights, also began to fall to the ground one by one, two by two.
-T-This makes no sense. By re humans…….
Watching his colleagues falling helplessly like fallen fruit on a stormy day, Kelbes eventually spat out a sigh close to a scream.
-Lord! Save us!
However, he could not save the dying colleagues with just sighs.
“Kiaaaaaak!”
Eventually, around the ti the number of colleagues who filled the sky decreased to less than twenty. Kelbes made a choice.
Flap, whoosh-
After stirring his wings largely as if causing a gust of wind once.
He ran away.
Of course, if other Sub-Dragons had run away in front of lowly humans, Kelbes would never have forgiven them.
However, as death reached his doorstep, Kelbes chose to run away without hesitation.
Just when Kelbes, who broke away from the battlefield at the maximum speed he could produce, reached the edge of Sherazade's barrier,
“To think the last move chosen after losing all colleagues is running away.”
It was a black-haired swordsman who greeted Kelbes near the boundary of the barrier.
Blaze!
The flustered Kelbes unwittingly spewed a breath filled with flas.
However, that turbid breath was swept away by the blue light surrounding and scattered in all directions.
“Truly an appearance befitting a dirty traitor.”
-S-Sherazade!
Kelbes, who grasped what situation occurred only after seeing the blue energy ford on Axion and hearing the word traitor, ground his teeth and examined the surroundings, but her figure was nowhere to be seen.
“Please take care of it, Young Master!”
“Commander! Finish him off!”
All that entered his ears were cheers of soldiers rooting for .
All Sub-Dragons except Kelbes were shot down.
-Ah…… Ahh!!
Kelbes, who fell into panic in the crisis situation, opened his snout wide to spew flas reflexively.
And the mont Kelbes's snout opened to the maximum, I flew up above the Sub-Dragon's head.
Blaze!
Clang!
I, becoming a ray of light, cut through the flas and plugged down into Kelbes as it was.
“W-What! What happened!”
“The smoke is too thick to see!”
At a quite far distance, the flas Kelbes spewed burned too fiercely.
The soldiers who could not grasp the situation imdiately waited for with sweat in their hands.
And,
“Waaaaa!”
They let out exclamations all at once.
A golden body falling down the mountain range with all strength lost.
The golden body, which ‘was’ once Kelbes's, disappeared by being thrown into the strong currents wrapping around the Baskal Mountain Range.
Splash!
Between the foam that soared as if touching the sky.
Even though Kelbes had set, the blue light was still burning clearly.
“Young Master finished him off!”
“We won! We won!”
Soon, cheers of soldiers as if the entire Baskal Mountain Range would float away rang out.
“Long live Reichart! Long live all of us!”
“Black Lion! Black Lion! Undefeated Black Lion Hein Reichart!”
“Long live! Long live!”
With the cheers that seed they would never subside at the end, the desperate struggle with the Sub-Dragons ca to a close.
***
“You say it is around here?”
“Yeah. Near here should be correct…….”
Dawn the next day after the bloody battle with the Sub-Dragons finished.
At the ti when everyone fell asleep drunk on the joy of victory, there was a pair of a man and a woman groping the Baskal Mountain Range.
“Let's see…….”
A blue-haired woman, who was sitting downstream of the river flowing while wrapping around the mountain range and concentrating her mind, clapped her hands and shouted.
“Found it. It is here!”
The woman gathered her hands while rejoicing as if to jump.
Bubbling.
A mont later, sothing soared along with grand bubbles cutting through the middle of the indifferently flowing river stream.
“Ah! I missed you! My body!”
What revealed its appearance cutting through the river was Sherazade's body, which was struck by today and sank to the bottom of the river.
Sherazade, who had the reunion she looked forward to at the end of thousands of years of waiting, imdiately hugged her body.
A mont later, her form supported by the power of the soul scattered into the void.
Wooong-
Hundreds, thousands of fragnts of light soon perated into the body that was originally hers.
I, who was watching this spectacle from beginning to end, threw a question to Sherazade who regained her body.
“Is it all done?”
“Yeah! Thanks. Being able to regain my body, and being able to take revenge, it is all thanks to the Master!”
“You can also speak in that form.”
“Of course! Do you think I am a Princess for nothing!”
Whether to fully feel the emotion brought by the reunion with the body, Sherazade spread her dazzling wings and lightly embraced her body drawing elegant curves.
‘Interesting. The feeling is completely different.’
Watching that appearance, I admired it unwittingly.
Of course, Sherazade's golden body was beautiful enough even when Kelbes was occupying it.
However, Sherazade's body that t its original soul was truly dazzlingly beautiful.
The water droplets ford on Sherazade's body received the radiance spewing from the body and sparkled like jewels.
Watching the truly picturesque appearance, it seed I could know that Sherazade's words emphasizing that Sub-Dragons are a harmonious race were not empty words.
“By the way, have you decided where to go?”
Since the battle with the Sub-Dragons was finished successfully, it was ti to keep the promise.
“…….”
“I say this out of concern, but if you intend to go on a trip to a place where humans live, you had better act carefully. Because people's gazes will focus just by your breathing.”
“…….”
Although it is until my call, a trip with a free body.
Whether soaked in emotion, Sherazade who always chatted was silent unlike her usual self.
“Then do not cause trouble.”
I, having finished everything to say, left the quiet Sherazade alone, turned my body, and headed to where the horse was tied.
Rustle rustle.
The remaining ti of the pledge is 30 years.
How many more tis will I et her during that ti?
I got on the horse promising a reunion with Sherazade, not knowing when it would be.
Rustle rustle.
And just when I grabbed the reins of the horse,
“……Yeah! I think the Master's words are right. Being too conspicuous is a bit like that, right?”
“…….”
“So first, I intend to learn how to ride a horse starting tomorrow.”
“…….”
“By the way, Master. Do you happen to know what is served for breakfast tomorrow? Listening to what people said earlier, they say a victory celebration banquet will be held. Starting when can I eat the food served at that banquet?”
Sherazade, who followed behind with quick steps, sat on the back of my horse as if nothing happened.
“……Did you not say you would go on a trip?”
“? When? I asked for a vacation, but I never said I would go anywhere? Ah, want to give Master one too?”
Sherazade took out candy from the pouch tied to the saddle with familiar hand movents, put it in her mouth, and then held it out towards .
“……Did you not say you are going to see sothing interesting?”
“Yeah. Sothing interesting, I am going to see the most interesting thing in the world.”
“Then why are you doing this here?”
“The interesting thing is here.”
I, feeling sohow the conversation was going in circles, frowned.
However, Sherazade smiled brightly and extended her finger.
The place that finger pointed to was exactly the middle of my forehead.
“Right now, I think the seat next to the Master will be the most interesting compared to any other place.”
“…….”
I, who received an unexpected confession from Sherazade, was silent for a while.
“No? Is it that I cannot be next to you because I eat too much? Then starting tomorrow, only a little, no, still very little would not be it but…….”
Whether she took my silence as a rejection, Sherazade fell into contemplation with a serious expression for her.
“No, can there be a reason why not.”
I, who organized the situation by letting out a short sigh, grabbed the reins I had let go of for a mont again and said.
“Instead, you will have to pay for your als properly from now on too.”
“Yeah, that is of course!”
Sherazade, who heard the answer she was waiting for, put the second candy in her mouth and held my waist.
“Hiya!”
“Heeeen!”
I pulled the reins, and the horse carrying two people let out a vigorous cry and began to run down the road.
Dawn before the sun rose yet.
The dawn wind touching the body regained after a long wait was very refreshing.
