Dig.

The monster charged with its sharp claws straight. The floor of the conference hall caved in with each giant step.

A flying attack. Millia threw herself as hard as she could to avoid it.

In the place where she had just been, there was a huge pit, as if a meteorite had hit it. Even though mana was wrapped around his body, he gave goosebumps. If it had been hit properly, it would have probably disintegrated its limbs. It was such a destructive force that no joke.

Of course, Milia didn’t just run away.

As the monster was large, its movements were sluggish. It was desirable to take advantage of the long interval between attacks.

like right now

“Wow!”

Millia quickly threw down the sword containing mana. What he’s aiming for is his wrist.

The sharp, bluish blade of the sword pulsated and ripped off the monster’s flesh.

“Krururururuk!”

The monster, shuddering in pain, reflexively twisted its body to attack, but Millia avoided it by simply bending her upper body.

A heavy wind brushed my face. Even at that moment, her two pupils accurately caught the gap. With the centrifugal force that bent his body, he swung his sword and severely cut off the monster’s arm.

squeak.

Kruheek.

I fell a few steps away from the monster that let out a tearing cry.

“Whoa.”

Millia caught her breath. Sweat ran down his cheeks and formed on his chin.

It’s a situation that has been continuing this death chase for tens of minutes already.

‘It looks like everyone else has evacuated.’

Millia thought so as she looked at the monster in front of her and the woman behind her who was staring at her with a subtle expression.

The woman in a black dress had no idea what expression she was making as her hair covered half of her face. However, it was obvious that he was smiling when he saw the slight twitching of his mouth through his hair.

‘Is it the leisure of the strong?’

Milia clicked her tongue.

As Milia jumped in to slash the woman who identified herself as an assassin, a huge monster emerged from her shadow. At the same time, little monsters came out from all over the conference hall and started attacking people.

Immediately after that, a purple curtain enveloped the meeting room.

It cut off outside aid. Although it was an enemy, it was a clever ploy.

In this way, the help of the knights and battle mages, including Lautrec, is not available. It was said that until they destroyed this veil, they had to hold out only with the troops inside the conference hall.

“Huh.”

Millia let out a heavy breath.

The black and wispy monster had an upright head that reached to the ceiling of the second floor. A formidable enemy with overwhelming power commensurate with its size.

The guy was also strong. I’ve already fired dozens of attacks, but none of them could be called effective.

The monster is still standing still, glaring at Milia.

It is too powerful to be called a familiar, and terribly evil to be called a spirit.

The woman who serves such a monster must also be quite strong. She even set up a powerful curtain and summoned small monsters throughout the meeting room.

Each of the spells she performed rivaled that of great magic.

The woman was using an unknown sorcery that Millia had never heard of before.

I thought I had a pretty good understanding of magic thanks to my family background.

He fixed his sword and focused his mind. Milia’s body cannot guarantee survival even if the monster allows only one attack.

However, the speed battle was a field that Milia could boast of. He was as slow as he was strong. Although the wound on his leg hadn’t healed yet, it wasn’t too difficult to avoid the attack if you knew the direction of his shoulder muscles and waist.

As long as my stamina allowed, I intended to hold this monster as long as I could. And let’s wait for Lautrec’s support. Fried must have been busy escorting the princess.

Millia tensed up and waited for the next attack.

However, instead of attacking, the woman who was standing at a distance slowly walked out and said.

“Are you stronger than you thought?”

mate.

The woman came closer and smiled broadly and clapped her hands. In response, the gigantic monster grins and claps along with it. Every time the house-sized monster moved its palm, a huge gong sound rang throughout the conference room.

“That is amazing! This is the first time a knight has lasted so long against Sepia. I was honestly surprised.”

“… … What are you up to?”

Milia lowered her body without lowering her guard.

That monster’s name must be Sepia, Milia guessed.

“I’m just complimenting you.”

Looking at Milia who continued to look at the situation, the woman shook her head gently.

“So, what is your name?”

“Milia Liantour.”

“Hmm. Wasn’t the Liantur family a magical name? I didn’t know there would be such an outstanding article. Have the times changed a lot?”

Millia’s eyes narrowed. A woman knows her family. It’s nothing strange, but it’s also true that it’s borderline.

The woman put her hands on her white breasts and slightly lifted the hem of her skirt.

“Milia Liantour, I will formally greet you. My name is Arwen, simply put, I am an apostle.”

“Arwen.”

Millia repeated her name.

An apostle of the sect wrapped in a veil. Favored by foreign media, they heard that they were gifted with great power in exchange for eternal loyalty.

Are you one of them? If so, this division can also be explained.

Arwen grinned at Milia who was thinking deeply. The eyes looking at Milia were as clear as a naughty boy who found a fun toy.

“Anyway, I thought everything was going to collapse, but the empire is still standing. I never dreamed that articles like this would exist. Except for Iscobal and the old man, this is the first time a knight has fought so well.”

Arwen’s praise. She tried to ignore it, but Millia’s sensitive ears naturally filtered out the familiar name in her words.

“Iscobal? How do you know Sir Fried?”

“You know Iscobal, too? Is it natural that he’s a knight?”

“Answer any questions I ask.”

Apparently, that woman said it was Iscobal.

And it was clear that the last name referred to his fellow knight, Fried Iscobal.

Arwen answered in a playful voice.

“Everyone knows. You are my faithful henchman.”

“gibberish.”

It’s not worth listening to anymore.

Millia spurred the ground and thrust out her sword.

Her sword filled with mana made a crackling sound. A sword that rushes forward with a flashing light.

It was a blow of conversion, but without fail, Sepia’s massive body blocked the sword path. Her sword bounced off powerlessly.

“Really? If you’re curious, why don’t you ask Iscobal directly?”

Instead of answering, he fired a second sword strike.

Of course, this time it was blocked.

“Keugh.”

“Looking at you, you must have a lot of trust in Iscobal?”

Arwen gave a smirk.

“Is it because you’re handsome? The flies are a bit twisted. I am jealous.”

The last words swayed in the air for a while before disappearing.

Arwen’s expression hardened.

“I think the fuss will be enough. I’m in a bad mood, so I’ll finish it soon.”

Arwen gestured. Then, Sepia, who was only receiving the attack, sped up and jumped into Milia.

Power enough to make you feel dizzy. However, Milia was confident enough to avoid it.

It was the moment when he wrapped mana around his ankle and was about to leap.

Paaah.

“Ugh… … !”

A sudden, shattering headache hit Millia’s head. Her body was unbalanced and staggered.

When she looked up, there was Arwen, who was chanting a spell with his hand outstretched toward her. As Arwen’s mouth grew fiercer, Milia’s pain also intensified.

The moment she saw that, Millia’s vision reversed.

Sepia’s attack had just been hit directly.

I thought that a sense of emptiness was approaching, but an indescribable shock came soon after.

Millia broke through the wall of the central conference hall and rolled on the floor while being pinned to the inner wall of the corridor.

“It’s black.”

Blood gushed out of his mouth. Every bone in his body screamed, and his clenched fists trembled on the floor.

“… … Is it witchcraft, cool.”

“Why are you suddenly like this? There’s no way you could have become an apostle just because you knew how to control a sluggish monster, right?”

Arwen climbed on Sepia’s shoulder and waved.

“This is also possible.”

In response, a black mist crept in from the other side of the corridor and flowed into Sepia.

After absorbing the mist, Sepia increased in size. Now his head reached the skylight-shaped ceiling.

It was only after seeing that appearance that Miria realized.

that’s the body Until now, the main body had been cut into pieces and sent to the entire conference room, so it was possible to deal with them alone. Now that she’s revealed her true self, Milia won’t even be able to compete with her.

“Five! are you getting up?”

However, Milia struggled to stand up from the floor.

Although the sword in his grasp is tattered, it is still functioning properly.

There is no odds. But both legs could move.

Yes. Milia was still able to fight.

“You are the epitome of a knight. I looked again.”

“… … It’s noisy.”

Millia glared at Arwen while holding her sword horizontally.

“On the subject of a filthy whore.”

“what?”

When Arwen asked back, instead of answering, he spat bloody phlegm.

A disrespectful thing that the usual upright Milia would never do. But a subtle sense of exhilaration took hold of her mind.

Right now, Milia had only a seething fighting spirit, rather than a normal accident.

“Did you like the power you gained by opening a dirty hole for foreign media?”

“… … You, do you want to die?”

“well?”

Saying that, Millia narrowed one eye and stuck out her tongue. It was a rough but clear answer.

It was an obvious provocation, but Arwen’s eyelids fluttered in anger.

“yes. I’ll do as you please. sepia!”

As Arwen shouted in a cracked voice, Sepia raised her hands together and raised them above her head. The wind shattered the ceiling of the conference hall, and it was clearly visible that a purple curtain covered the sky.

Against the background of that sky, Sepia’s fist descends slowly.

Millia held out her sword with her last energy.

“uh?”

Once again, the view reversed.

But there was no shock like last time.

Koo Goo Goo.

Looking to the side, I saw the spot where Sepia’s attack had landed.

If so, how did you get here?

At first I thought it was out of body. Maybe the body is already dead, and only the soul is floating in the air.

However, Millia felt the cold touch wrapped around her thighs and waist.

“… … .”

When he raised his gaze, a man with sharp-edged features was looking at him.

Eyes reminiscent of the pale moon, and hair the color of a handful of silver powder mixed with lye.

it was free

“Sir Fried… … .”

“It’s fine?”

There was unmistakable thoughtfulness in his low voice.

Upon hearing Fried’s voice, Millia’s saliva went down her throat involuntarily.

What I was trying to say was this.

“… … hello?”

“I guess I didn’t say goodbye.”

To Milia’s greeting, Fried responded with a flustered expression.

“hahahaha. I see.”

Milia was relieved immediately.
