375 Because it's an ally
When we teleported to the plaza in front of the castle in the Duchy of Brange, we saw that the landscape leading to the castle had been gouged out by the aftermath of Master and Lionel's battle with the knights clad in miasma. , on the wallA holecrackmoved in, and it was in a state of disrepair.
In particular, if you look at the square where the battle took place, you can see scattered pieces of what appeared to be swords, armor, and other weapons that have been carbonized and lay casually on the ground, testifying to the ferocity of the battle.
“Is this castle really the same White Emperor Castle where the Duchy of Brange was proud of its beauty?”
I can kind of understand that Rumina-san is in shock.
He's from the Duchy of Brange, and maybe he's even seen this castle before.
The greater the gap between the memory and the memory, the greater the shock.
Even so, judging from the fact that I couldn't see my master and Lionel, there was no doubt that they were the two who did this.
If that happens, it can be concluded that the two were not seriously fighting during the mock battles in the Labyrinth of Plots and when raising their levels.
However, in that case, those two were such strong opponents that they had to be serious.
I'd better hurry up and meet up with these two.
"A group of knights covered in miasma was ambushed here, but I feel like the number of knights was much smaller than what I saw at that time. Master and Lionel fled to the castle and fought in an environment that was comfortable for them to fight. I believe that the knights chose to pursue them."
Didn't the two of them run away while they were talking on their own, but the knights ran away due to the onslaught of the two, and then chased after them? That thought occurred to me.
Well, there's no doubt that those two entered the castle due to the circumstances, so there's nothing to worry about.
"Luciel, it's fine to chase those two, but before that, what should we do with that magic circle?"
“The sanctuary barrier has been set up, so there will be no problem even if demons are summoned.”
“But what does it take to maintain that barrier with magic…?”
The Sanctuary Barrier is already out of my control, but I guess it's strange that it still hasn't been lifted.
However, it may be a while before we can answer that question.
It must have sensed that we had teleported to the plaza.
This is because knights covered in miasma, soldiers who had turned into undead, and non-combatants who had half-heartedly turned into demons came out of the castle.
“That sanctuary barrier is special, so there is no need to worry about maintaining it.Moreover, the knights clad in that miasma have been strengthened, so we may not be able to do anything about it.”
To prove that, I activated a purification wave only for the knights.
Then, the knights stepped forward and raised their shields, trying to block the purifying wave... but it seemed like they couldn't block it completely, and pale white flames erupted from the arms holding the shields and the areas that couldn't be covered by the shields. has risen.
Apparently, his ability was different from the knights who fought alongside his master and Lionel.
In a situation like this, it would be better to forcefully break through and cause less damage.
"Luciel-kun, I think it can't be helped to purify the knights and undead soldiers covered in miasma. However..."
"It's a strange coincidence. I thought so too. That's why I decided to force my way through. Is that okay with you, Pope?"
"Hmm. I don't know if it can be restored, but I think it's better to leave at least a small possibility that it can be saved when everything is over."
After receiving permission from the Pope, I took out the magic tool, the pursuer's eye, from my magic bag, poured magical power into it, and held the string with the hope that it would sting me on the forehead of the evil god who sowed despair just by confronting him. I let go.
Then light emitted from the pursuer's eyes, and the light passed through the knights and soldiers and entered the castle.
"It looks like you're inside the castle. We'll fly after this light, so the two of you should concentrate on controlling your aerial posture while preparing for an attack."
"Hmm" "Understood"
"[Holy dragon, become a light that purifies impurity and wrap yourself around us] [Wind dragon, become wings that fly freely in the sky] Now let's go."
The holy dragon that I activated swallowed us and became a barrier-like sphere, and wings of wind appeared from the sphere that the wind dragon wrapped around us.
This sphere moves according to my will, so it floats up lightly and passes over the heads of the knights, following the light guided by the pursuer's eyes.
Of course, the knights didn't let us pass easily, and some of them launched attacks and even jumped at the sphere.
However, when those attacks touch the sphere, they are repelled with a sound like being touched by static electricity, and those who attack are blown away as if they were reflected.
"Thank you, Luciel-kun. It's a terrible barrier magic, but with this, the damage will be minimal."
Rumina-san said some words of admiration while looking at this scene, but as a result of prioritizing defeating the evil god over saving people, she was just doing her best not to hurt anyone.
So all I could do was laugh vaguely.
"Luciel, don't hold it too much."
Apparently, the Pope had already seen it.
"If we can't restore the original state even after defeating the evil god, I will bear the blame as well."
However, Rumina-san, who gave me the words of admiration, must have already guessed that.
In order to repay these two and my friends who have been on my side, I will continue on the path I believe in without hesitation.
"I think the evil god is strong, but hearing Lord Rainstar's story about how he was able to banish it gave me hope. This time, I will banish the evil god from this world."
That's why I will try to be as strong as I can until the very end, at least in front of my allies who believe in me.
Even so, the inside of the castle is filled with miasma. There was no one left, and it wouldn't be strange if monsters or demons suddenly appeared.
It's also a relief that the light is in a straight line and you won't get lost.
As I was thinking this, an unusual miasma-tinged slash approached from the point where the light was extending at a tremendous speed.
I thought I could dodge it, but thinking there might be a second attack, I quickly pulled out my fantasy sword and unleashed a slash imbued with holy attribute magic.
The next moment, the miasma-tinged slash and the slash I fired collided, and for a moment they appeared to be competing with each other, but the miasma-tinged slash could not be stopped and collided with my sphere. --.
Well, I knew I was going to lose, and I figured that if the miasma-tinged slash's power was reduced, it wouldn't be a problem even if I was hit by the sphere, so I escaped unharmed.
However, the expected second slash never came, and when I looked closely at the place where the slash was thought to have been fired, I saw flames and wind moving as if I had been waiting for this moment. was there.
Thank you for reading.
