Episode 139 Two suns
The battle in Fairyland was extremely fierce.
“Magic development!”
The Eris Empire army was advancing toward the Great Tree little by little using group encirclement tactics. For them, who have trained to cooperate in battle, the monsters of Fairyland are no match for them. Even though the monster had better magic power, it was superior in combat ability.
Although not as good as the Holy Knights, they are also progressing smoothly.
The magical flames burned the fairies.
"Don't miss it!"
The 300 Imperial soldiers are all excellent sorcerers or magicians.
The monsters are defeated one after another by magical equipment and magic, and the magical power is dispersed.
“Destroy! That is His Majesty the Emperor’s order!”
Most of the soldiers were inspired by those words.
However, there were only five people among them who were acting under orders different from the emperor.
“Is that the little fairy that Her Highness Empress Eris desires?”
"Let's catch him now, okay?"
"No, we'll have to wait and see. Besides, there are still a lot of little fairies."
"Understood"
They are trying to obtain a fairy-type monster at the request of Empress Eris. Although there were only five people, they were the ones who received the real orders. However, if that was discovered, he would definitely be executed. This is because, on the surface, the emperor's order is to annihilate Fairyland. For that reason, they have no choice but to be cautious.
“Your chance is coming soon.”
The battle is going well.
Most of the soldiers are excited.
Eventually, you won't care if someone disappears. When the time comes, they will move.
◆◆◆
Although Lazard lost many of his magic swords to ``Thunder Spear Gungnir'', not all of them disappeared. Mika kept some of them as spares.
"Lazard-sama! Take this!"
Mika took out three magic swords from the magic space and threw them. Normally, we shouldn't treat it carelessly, but right now we're in a battle. Some recklessness is allowed.
Lazard also received the magic sword in his hands and launched an attack on Iris.
"You troublesome human..."
But Alerianne won't allow it. The thick branch of the tree blocks her sword fight and protects Iris. Leaves that turned into blades rained down and attacked Lazard.
Also, Iris is not only protected.
Continuing to thwart the attacks of the holy knights, mainly using first-tier magic. I've already lost most of my magical power to the ``Thunder Spear Gungnir'', so I can't use great magic.
The Holy Knights were forced to struggle against just two people.
And for the Holy Knights, that was humiliating.
"There's only two of us! A witch and a monster!"
"The tree is in the way...I can't get close to it."
"Can't we do something?"
"Why...you witch..."
The most troublesome thing for the Holy Knights is Alerianne's manipulation of the Great Tree. Unfortunately, the human species dies easily. Even if he were the strongest holy knight in the world, he would die from one fatal wound. In other words, you can't fight casually. Blades of leaves flying in all directions, boughs with unpredictable trajectories, and the exquisite hindrance of iris. These things make the holy knights nervous.
I just can't attack.
They get in the way at critical moments.
“My name is...”
The Holy Knights are suffering from the lack of one more move. Even the reliable S-rank holy knight Lazard can only use a simple magic weapon that creates magic hands. His magic equipment is useful, but it lacks direct attack performance.
Even if he tried to use magic, his large-scale magic would be blocked by Alerianne. The weak magic that can be used without chanting is blocked by the great tree and cannot reach Iris and Alerianne.
However, salvation came to these holy knights.
The sky suddenly turns dark.
The sky is always gloomy when it's covered in fog, but now it's even darker, as if something is blocking the sun.
"I've kept you waiting, Lazard-dono. And everyone."
Galan, who had sealed away the Hades, finally appeared.
◆◆◆
The Eris Empire army continued its advance, and its excitement had reached its climax. Basically, demons are subjugated by Holy Knights, so soldiers have few opportunities to fight them. Some even experience it only a few times during their active duty. Under such circumstances, subjugating many monsters and continuing to advance was a kind of drug for them.
It feels good to use the magic armor to your heart's content.
It feels good to be able to blow things away with magic without any hesitation.
"Go ahead! Go ahead!"
In response to the captain's shout, the soldiers let out a battle cry.
I don't care anymore even if someone disappears.
"It's about time. Let's go."
"ah"
The five soldiers who were receiving the real orders quietly left the formation. Then, he quickly runs through the forest and begins exploring in order to accomplish his goal.
Their goal is to capture the little fairy Fairy.
We have prepared various things for that purpose.
"Raid, please sense it."
"Understood."
One of the soldiers, Reid, is a magician specializing in sensing. Even as he ran, he sensed the location of the magical little elf Fairy.
“It’s over there.”
Reid pointed in the direction of the tree.
When I looked up at the sky, I saw that spirit-type and fairy-type monsters were gathering around the large tree. In response, the platoon leader expressed concern.
"It's troublesome when they gather together. Find as many individuals as possible."
"I got it"
"You don't get many chances. Make a decision, Lou."
“Leave it to me.”
"We'll clean up the dew. If it's a minor problem, we'll get rid of it."
The battle taking place on top of the tree can be determined from the size and sound of the magical power. This is the kind of opponent that a Holy Knight, a professional demon slayer, would struggle against. I don't want to jump into that kind of place. Moreover, it would be suicidal to jump into a place where so many monsters were gathered that they could form a swarm.
They don't possess any special powers.
He's a magician just like the other soldiers.
"I found one. One is a little fairy, and one is a higher species. This one seems to be the easiest to do so far."
"Okay, I'll aim for that one."
They follow Reid's guidance without hesitation and finally find their target. As Reid sensed, there were a small fairy, a fairy, and a forest fairy, an elf, who was a superior species. At first glance, forest fairy elves look similar to humans. However, his inhuman beauty and pointy ears indicated that he was a fairy type monster.
The target fairy, Fairy, is riding on the shoulders of the forest fairy elf.
"Listen! I don't mind killing the forest fairy elf. Make sure to capture the little fairy fairy!"
At the command of the platoon leader, he and another person pounce. I attacked him with my sword's magic weapon. The forest fairy elf who was just running was caught off guard. He reflexively avoids the attack of the platoon leader who stands in front of him. Even with this, the forest fairy elf is a higher-level greater class monster. He has some physical ability. However, his fighting ability was low, so he did not notice the attack from behind.
The forest fairy elf whose back was cut open fell down, and the little fairy fairy who was sitting on his shoulder was also thrown to the ground.
"Gah..."
“Fumyu!?”
Then, the platoon leader mercilessly dealt the final blow to the forest fairy elf.
In addition, Lou captures the little fairy Fairy using the magical thread magic outfit. His threads have the effect of disrupting magical power, and can even stop weak monsters from moving.
"Captured"
"Alright, let's go home. Ron."
"Aiyo"
A soldier called Ron uses magical equipment to create followers. It was a huge bird.
First, the giant bird family grabbed Ron with its beak and swallowed him. After that, it swallowed the soldiers, including the platoon leader, and the little fairy Fairy one after another.
This magic armor is special.
The inside of the giant bird's body is a living space, and as long as it stays inside, it benefits from the mobility of the magic armor. The plan is to use this mobility to escape from the fairyland on its own.
“Keeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!
The giant bird chirped and flapped its wings, flying up into the foggy sky.
◆◆◆
Lazard was delighted with the appearance of Holy Knight Galan Regaldo.
I thought this would help me overcome the situation.
"Hmm. A witch?"
Garan looks at Iris and whispers.
"I was considering it as a possibility because Hades was there, but...as expected."
The fact that Fairyland is the home of Hades Arclight. This was not known at the planning stage of the Fairyland subjugation operation. And although Hades' surprise attack that occurred in the fog chilled my nerves, I was relieved now.
The Hades is trying to seal it with magical equipment and banish it to the ends of the sky.
The floating stars are already hidden in the foggy sky.
Alerianne, who heard Galan's murmur, was shocked and screamed.
"You're such an idiot. King Hades is like that..."
“What happened to Shu-san!?”
"Hmph. It was sealed away beyond the heavens."
Garan pointed his finger upwards and spoke calmly. To be honest, I don't have much leeway since I'm constantly consuming most of my magic power for sealing. However, his imposing attitude placed a mental burden on Iris and Alélianne.
In a panic, Alerianne orders Taiki to remove the fog barrier.
In order to confirm the ruler of the fairyland that humans have sealed away.
There was no particular meaning in this case, but normally it would be foolish to let the enemy's words fool you and destroy your own advantage.
However, there was an amazing sight in the sky.
"Two suns...?"
Iris leaks those words.
It wasn't an illusion or a delusion, it was a fact. There are two burning stars in the sky. One was the sun, and the other was a floating star that Galan launched into the sky. However, that floating star was burning intensely white.
"I see. Hades...you'll even destroy my trump card!"
It was reliable for Iris and Alerianne, but terrifying for the Holy Knights.
The second shining sun.
Shu: “It was so unexpected that Iris would use a forbidden curse and lose all her magical power.”
Iris “Tehe☆”
Shuu: (silent grisly)
Iris: “It hurts (>_<)”
