The World of Otome Games is Tough For Mobs - Volume 9 - Chapter 6.1

Chapter 6: The Strongest Knight
Part 1
"This guy is a cheater too!"

In Arroganz's cabin, I cursed as he chased after us  the movement of the  magic armor.

It reminded the figure of the old man who called himself the Black Knight.

That old fort, who should be called the official cheater that appeared in the first game, at the end, he took the fragments of magic armor on his body and turned into a monster to fight the kingdom.

Driven by loyalty, revenge, and various motives, the old man was more troublesome than any opponent I had fought with.

He is an annoying old man who made me aware of death despite having Luxon by my side.

I remembered that old man because the guardian knight of the Empire is more troublesome than him.

Arroganz, whose performance has improved since those days, was in tatters when he faced true magic armor.

"Luxon, missiles!"

[Launching missiles. Master, the remaining ammo for the missiles is now zero.]

Fleeing from the magic armor, Arroganz launched six missiles as he opened the hatch of the container on his back.

Seeing the six missiles, Finn made a long black sword appear in his right hand. It seems that the buzz and discharge are apparently due to the fact that the blade is covered in magic.

"You think you can shoot down a missile with a sword like that ......”

When Finn swung his magic sword to the side, an electrical discharge spread around him. A yellow light was released like a great sword slash, and as it discharged and spread, all six missiles exploded.

"...... Can you even attack from such a distance?"

I didn't expect a core magic armor to be so annoying.

Even if it's a little stronger magic armor, I'm mad at myself for being naive enough to think he would lose to that old Black Knight.

And by the way, I was in a cold sweat.

[There are no more missiles. The rifles and machine guns have been scrapped. The battle ax and the scythe were also discarded. All the drones have been lost. Master, the only one remaining weapon is the sword.]

I had used up most of my weapons in previous battles and only the sword remained.

"I don't want to fight hand-to-hand with him."

Arroganz had the sword equipped, but he couldn't imagine how to beat Finn with it.

[This is not the time to joke.]

-I'm not kidding. Whoops !?

During my usual conversation with Luxon, Finn approached Arroganz as he brandished his long sword against him.

I dodge it, get up and run, Finn chase me too.

The magic armor chasing me spread its wings and fired an electric discharge from the tips of his fingers like lightning.

"I'll leave the back for you."

[Forced avoidance.]

I left some of the control to Luxon to avoid electric shock.

However, some of them grabbed Arroganz and his shoulder armor melted slightly.

"Does electricity melt armor when it touches it !?

[They are not actual electric shocks, but electric shocks generated by magic ......Emergency evasion !?]

Luxon chimed in with a serious comment, but Finn didn't give me time for that.

Reviewing the image behind, he could see a series of large discharge spheres floating around Finn.

When they are released, they will follow Arroganz.

Even if he avoids them, the tracking bullet that changes direction and returns was quite powerful if struck. It seems that it is so powerful that even Arroganz cannot bear more than one shot.

[Master, I request permission to use the main body. Even if you refuse, Master, I will prioritize protecting you by launching an attack.]

Luxon said that he couldn't take it anymore and he started negotiating with me to have a last chance.

"What will happen to the royal capital if your body tries to defeat the magic armor?"

[The damage will not be little]

"Then no ... but if you do, follow me to the end."

[What are you going to do?]

"My usual move!"

I reversed course from Arroganz and accelerated towards Finn who was heading straight for me.

Finn's magic armor was addressing us holding a long sword without hurry.

Directly towards each other ...... As we closed the distance to decide the combat, Arroganz brandished his sword.

However, it was easily broken by the discharge from Finn's longsword.

Finn thought that he had won and drew his longsword, cutting the chest point of Arroganz ...... heading towards me.

[It's over.]

In the cockpit, I thanked Finn for his softness.

"It's over for you!"

Arroganz right arm struck Finn's chest with his fist. The hit, which should being quite powerful, it didn't seem to have done much damage to the magic armor.

Finn may have thought of this as my last attempt at resistance.

However, when Arroganz's right fist lit up red, a shock wave of great power directly hit the inside of the magic armor.

[..... Impact.]

At Luxon's words, the magical armor recoiled and plummeted.

Perhaps because Finn lost consciousness, all the tracking bullets exploded and disappeared with a huge explosion and electric shock.

However, I realized that I had failed when I saw Finn's magical armor fall.

"Does it still retain its shape even though I hit it with all my might !?”

As there are no enemies that have not been shattered by Arroganz's shockwaves,

I got impatient and scared of Finn.

The attack should have passed, but now I don't know when he will wake up and attack.

I tried to bring Arroganz closer to Finn to chase after him, but I felt like I could see a light on the edge of the monitor.

Drawing my attention towards the Academy, I could see a pale white barrier that was being deployed by Livia.

-What is happening!?

I asked Luxon to confirm, but communication problems had delayed the transmission of information.

[There are riots in various parts of the royal capital. A group of alleged sky pirates. They are also storming the Academy.]

"Tsk ......! Let's go back right away.”

[I can not do this.]

I was momentarily angered by Luxon's refusal, but soon realized it and did go back to Arroganz.

Finn's electrical discharge passed where Arroganz had been floating.

Finn's magic armor had cracks on the surface, but it worked well.

"You are too tough."

However, his breathing was erratic, probably because Finn was in pain.

[That's my line. But for Mia's sake, I'm going to defeat you for repeatedly using an artificial intelligence to kill people.]

As Finn lifted the longsword from him, I waited.

-You got to be kidding! You're the one who's been pulling the strings behind the scenes getting people to kill each other with pieces of magic armor!

[...... What are you talking about? I did nothing.]

As we argued, I heard Kurosuke's scream from the magic armor instead of Finn.

[Companion! The Academy is in trouble! there is an aircraft boarding !?]

[W-what !?]

Finn wasn't being cautious with me, but he didn't get rid of his stance with his longsword.

[If I don't hurry, Mia ...!]

[I know! But you can't turn your back on this guy.]

I didn't defeat him, but it seems like I did a lot of damage to him.

I took a deep breath and then made a proposal to Finn.

"Hey, let's make a deal. I also want to go back to the Academy right now."

Finn, who was in a ready-to-attack position, didn't reply, but I kept talking.

"Let's make a temporary truce. There is someone you want to save too, right? I also I have people for whom I want to go back and save.”

After a brief pause, Finn relaxed his posture.

[...... Agree. But I'll do what I want.]

Saying this, Finn spread his wings and flew towards the Academy.

-As you like.

I also led Arroganz towards the Academy, but Luxon got tough.

[Are you insane? you can't make a deal with magic armor. they Definitely will betray us ]

"You are persistently annoying. If we save everyone, I will accompany you as many times as you want later, so be patient.”

[......Good. But don't forget what you said.]

"If I remember ... Give me Schwert."

As he stepped on the gas, the situation at the Academy gradually became visible.
