183 Beating in
"What!? What's happening!"
“Bring the light!”
I leisurely cut through the chaotic courtyard of the mansion. I'm using night vision magic, so I can see the enemy's movements from here.
"Flame Absorb"
The flames of the torches and lanterns that were brought out were absorbed by the flame counter spell. The surrounding area has returned to darkness, and we can't rely on numbers to attack us.
Those who are unable to prepare for an interception are put to sleep, or knocked down and restrained. But above all the others, Randolph should be the one to aim for first. He also knows where he is.
“According to Isabella, Randolph himself is quite a fighter. Apparently he doesn’t show much fighting because he’s secretive, but… he was there!”
Randolph was trying to escape to the basement floor through a hidden door in the courtyard with his guards.
“Who are you!? I bet you know who I am and are doing this!?”
When Randolph recognized us from a distance, he became furious.
I don't carry any kind of light with me. In other words, there is a magician in the group over there, and they are using night vision magic.
"--There must be something familiar about my face."
Sheila takes off her hood and shows Randolph her face. Randolph tried to glare at her, but after staring at her face, her eyes widened.
"You... Bartolo and Lucia's daughter..."
Randolph said it with a dumbfounded look on his face, and just shut his mouth.
"I won't tell you that I don't know about the carriage incident."
This is a kamakake by Sheila. It's shaking. Hearing Sheila's words, Randolph burst out laughing as if he had realized that he couldn't hide it if he let it out with her attitude.
"Ha! If you think about it, you're just rehashing the old story. You've done everything so far. Don't think you'll be able to go home alive!"
It roared like that. The hair on Sheila's ears and tail stands on end.
--The same is true for the reasons that will trigger the outbreak of conflict in the future. It must have been said that it was a "betrayal of the previous guild leader." It is not unreasonable to think that disrespecting the rules is a betrayal, and in fact, it may be the basis for a backlash...but the trigger for the conflict itself is probably different.
Due to the nature of the organization, stories involving the Thieves Guild have a hard time coming up with proper names even in BFO. However, it was Isabella, the daughter left behind by the previous guild leader. Or... Sheila, someone among them noticed what Randolph was doing. That must have been the beginning.
This time, I started to be wary of Dexter, but once the situation started rolling, Sheila would eventually realize it. Now all she has to do is go where she wants to go.
I don't even know who will die in the conflict. Many people died on both sides, and in the end, the previous guild leader won. That's all you can see from the outside. I don't know if Sheila will be included in that, but she will definitely be involved. If so, she has no intention of overlooking it.
“Randolph, I am.”
"Understood. I'll support you."
Sheila says. She looks into her eyes and she nods.
If you have the power, you should do it with your own hands. I can understand that feeling, and I want to make it come true. Standing shoulder to shoulder with Sheila, I poured magical power into Ouroboros and turned it like a windmill. The roar and glow of magical power, and the joyous voice of Ouroboros echoed in the darkness.
Circulation. Refine your magic. The brilliance of Ouroboros increases even further.
Sheila and I thrust into each other almost at the same time. Taking this as a signal, his friends also move.
There is a magic stone at the base of the long sword held by Randolph. Just as I thought the magic circle was glowing, a magical light appeared, illuminating the surroundings.
"Do you want to use magic too?"
Sheila and I fly wide, splitting into left and right. After a moment's delay, a fireball from Randolph's sword exploded where we were. It's called magic light, it's called fireball...first of all, it's to ensure the visibility of surrounding companions. Clever. Does that mean he's not acting as an executive of the thieves guild just for the heck of it?
“You hungry ghost!”
A huge man with a battle ax lunges at me.
“Get out of the way!”
He parried the ax with his Ouroboros, then returned the staff and struck the upper arm. Feels like bones are broken. However, the giant man didn't seem to mind and swung his battle ax up from below with all his might. Avoid it by shifting your body half a step to the side.
“It doesn’t work!”
The man laughs and swings a battle ax with one hand. --It's medicine. Is it because of Skugslow? Or is it another drug? Not only does he feel no pain, he also exhibits stupid strength. But what happened?
"Trample Thorn"
“U-oh!?”
It was entangled with the tree magic trample thorn, and wrapped in a sphere of thorns, leaving only its neck.
It's not magic that can be done with just muscle strength. I hit them with Levitation, and then threw a lump of thorns at the group that rushed towards me.
"There are people who don't feel pain. From now on, we'll treat them like monsters."
"Yes!"
Reply from Grace and the others. The action guidelines are simple and clear. It does not take into account the fear caused by the sensation of pain, and instead launches attacks that incapacitate the enemy.
A cloud of sleep was blown from Ashley's hands, surrounding the enemy group. Then, it fell down with a flop as if a string had been cut. Ice ran from Lavine's feet, freezing the sleeping people and sticking them to the ground.
Irmhild's arrow shot overhead and shot through the top of the opponent's foot, sewing it to the ground, and Marlene's saucer flew in and hit him in the head, cutting off his consciousness.
In the case of Grace, she doesn't give in to her strength, so she leisurely pulls her down to the ground and crushes her leg bones.
"--Fall."
The figures of those who stepped into the magic circle centered around Claudia disappeared.
The men who were blown into the air by teleportation magic fell down screaming. ……I see. Is the sky above the city also part of the labyrinth?
There's no problem with Miriam either. If an opponent shows no signs of flinching from the whip, he wraps it around their legs and pulls them down, then strikes the back of their hand away, robbing them of their fighting ability. There are also archers, but Seraphina's horn crushes all the arrows that fly at them.
"Disturbing"
The members of the guild were heading towards Sheila, but just as the pearl sword's sparkle flew away, the tendons in their limbs were severed and they flopped onto the ground.
"Magnetic Wave"
“Oooooooooo!?”
A magnetic force is applied to the battle ax of the man trapped in the trample thorn, and he swings it around. I'll take this opportunity to make use of this man. He lunges at Randolph's guards.
As I swung the mass of thorns around as if mowing them down, many of the people who were not using drugs were covered in blood and screamed.
"Tch! There's a monster!"
Randolph clicked his tongue and cursed.
"I'm your opponent!"
Sheila rushes into Randolph. She intercepts Sheila's sword that cuts straight into her, and at the same time Randolph's kick jumps up. Sheila deflects her upper body and spins backwards as she flies. A knife from Randolph's toe. There's a lot going on in magic and dark magic.
As expected, Randolph follows Sheila's movements as she flies through the air. Is it possible to control the shield that deploys at your feet? If he can use both swords and magic, there's no reason why he wouldn't listen and learn.
“Kukuku, you have a good hunch!”
Sheila uses the air as a foothold and charges as if bouncing back. Randolph catches Sheila's sword in the air. She uses her strength to shake off Sheila, who is inferior to her in weight, and at the same time unleashes her fighting spirit blade, and fires a fireball with a deviation shot that fills her evasion target.
Blocking the blade of fighting spirit with the shield of her magic tool, Sheila rushed forward in the shortest distance. She dodges and gets hit by the fireball, but the blast blocks her vision.
"It's a big deal! Is that something you inherited from your parents?"
"You...!"
Sheila reveals her anger as Randolph smiles mockingly.
"No, I had a hard time. Your parents were also unusually sharp! After all, if you messed up, they'd find out! After thinking about how to kill you, they had me put a golem under the carriage. That’s why!”
A small golem is created and rushes towards Sheila. The pearl sword is wrapped in fighting spirit and slices the golem into circles. Randolph throws a small sword to hide it in the shadows. Randolph swung his sword down from the top at Sheila, who tilted her head to avoid it.
The high-pitched sound of swords colliding with each other echoes. Perhaps judging that she couldn't block it with one hand, Sheila threw away her sword and held it with both hands. This is not Sheila's usual behavior. It's her usual to parry or dodge.
This is Randolph's strategy. Just listening to it is poisonous.
"Seraphina"
"Yeah!"
Seraphina sensed my intention and took away the words from Randolph. Randolph tried to say something with a smile on his face, but no sound came out.
Seraphina is collecting Randolph's words. You look at me with hatred, but it's pointless.
"If there's any truth to it, I'll tell you."
Randolph was momentarily distracted. But by that time, Sheila was moving. When Randolph's thrusting motion of his sword flowed along his blade, it cartwheeled away like flowing water. Her cloak exerts its power and her figure disappears.
A pearl sword flies out from under Sheila's cloak, emitting a sparkle. A pearl sword was thrown at her feet. Randolph had a shocked expression on his face, but he didn't even seem to react and jumped back to avoid it. But...
"I won't let you escape"
Adhesive thread on the pommel of the pearl sword. The blade, swung like a whip, drew a wide arc and mowed down Randolph's thigh.
If you lose your mobility to Sheila, it's the same thing even if it's over.
"That's it!"
Sheila tried to close the gap all at once, but what stopped her was the sight of a guard strangling a servant working in the mansion and holding a dagger to his neck.
"Damn it! If you make any strange moves, I'll kill this woman!"
In order to prevent the captured people from being used like this...at the same time as Randolph was captured, they had Caduceus rampage underground.
Anyway, I don't mind being a servant at my place. So, regardless of how effective the hostages are, they are probably being cornered quite a bit.
However, in reality, Sheila stopped moving after looking at me for just a moment. Magic circles cannot be used. Even chantless would be a bad bet. I don't have much time to think about it.
Randolph bared his teeth in a grin and headed toward Sheila with a sword in one hand. He even uses healing magic with his free hand. It's a low-rank magic, so it will take some time to heal.
"There! Throw away your weapon!"
Sheila's expression clouded as she silently let go of the pearl sword at the words of the hostage taker.
There is a method. For a moment, I glanced at Irmhild. I had built up enough magical power in my body to be able to deal with most situations. Develop a technique based on that. It's an internal technique that uses his own body as a catalyst, something he did with Gardinis as well.
There are two techniques used. Leave the mirage body in place and use teleportation magic to get behind it. Use your own body as a catalyst. Forget the pain of recoil. At the same time as the teleportation, a shocking blow is applied from the back. In one move, I knocked down Ouroboros, smashed his collarbone, and then kicked him in the groin.
“Ogoaaah!”
The man's body bounces all over the place for a moment, then collapses, and the servant leaves his grasp. The servant runs away while screaming.
Randolph, who was raising his sword towards Sheila, froze when he saw this. He opens his mouth like a hooked fish, but his voice is still sealed. Well, you can probably guess what he's saying.
"--Is it okay if I listen to the loser's speech?"
After a momentary delay, Irmhild's arrow pierced Randolph's hand as he raised his sword.
Randolph's eyes widened in severe pain and he tried to use Levitation to quickly escape. It's not Sheila who misses such sloppy movements. As he pursues Randolph with speed like the wind, he cuts Randolph to pieces with the swordbore dagger he holds in both hands.
“Gi!?”
The voice returns to Randolph. A scream came out of my mouth. Blood smoke scatters. They severed the tendons in his hands and feet, killing his fighting ability, but they did not inflict any fatal injuries.
“Theodore!”
Signal from Sheila. If you're going to use magic, you'll first need to harvest their consciousness in order to capture them alive.
“Go to sleep.”
Using a magnetic wave, he pulls a mass of thorns closer to him, and uses the strength of both Nemea and Capella to jump. Jump and catch up. Directly above Randolph. Arrange clumps of thorns to cover it. Deploy the shield upwards. Kick in and fall directly below at high speed. Naturally, the thorny ball is pulled downward by the magnetic lines of force. In other words, from directly above Randolph toward the ground...
“Wait! Gebe!”
Randolph blocks the approaching thorn ball with his entire body and lets out a strange scream. They were all thrown together and slammed to the ground.
