198 – Territoriality (7)

A beam of light coming down, tearing through the clouds.

When the white lightning hit the ground, it hit the chimera’s body directly along with thunder.

Seeing the sight of him collapsing without even being able to scream, the chimeras who were on guard next to him hesitated and retreated.

As Erina stepped forward, her Chimeras flocked to surround her.

It never occurred to me that Erina was at a disadvantage.

Rather, we had to focus on the chimera that caught our attention.

“Celica. Don’t come in front of me. Got it?”

“Yes. All right.”

He slowly stepped forward holding a shield to protect Celica.

There are a total of three chimeras looking at me.

They were turning sideways and closing the distance as if they were trying to surround me.

Are the three of them trying to attack at the same time?

In this situation, it is dangerous to move hastily.

I could have been caught while dealing with one person.

Instead, create an ice arrow and release it.

Dozens of arrows flew towards the camera.

The chimera reacted quickly and escaped the spot, but one arrow hit its leg.

My legs started to freeze from the area where the arrow hit me.

As soon as one was hit, the other two rushed in, but it was already too late.

He used his shield to hit the head of the running chimera.

He stuck the spear into the neck of the remaining one.

For other monsters, it would be normal for them to fall immediately.

The two chimeras did not back down and glared at me.

‘There is no need to overdo it.’

As long as Erina stepped forward, there was no reason for her to push forward.

All you have to do is deal with those who attack Celica.

When I aimed my spear at the chimera standing in front, the opponent hesitated and let out a low cry.

Are you afraid of me? But the longer the time goes by, the more advantageous I am.

As if they knew this, they tried to surround the three of them so they could attack at the same time.

Then Celica whispered quietly behind me.

“Seohyun. “Please leave the one on the left to me.”

“…How?”

“I will build a wall to block it. “Please take care of the two in the meantime.”

Let’s trust Celica once.

As I nodded her head, Serica’s prayers stopped and her healing light disappeared.

Then, as soon as the chimera group noticed the scent, they rushed over.

Celica’s prayer rang in my ears.

“Please protect us…”

As Celica said, she hurled her spear at the one rushing to the right, and she stopped one of them by piercing right between the eyes.

Let’s block the rest of the chimeras that are charging in front with the shield to block their approach.

At the same time, a horse rushed to the left with its teeth bared.

Tteong!

“Crumbling… !?”

Then, a wall dyed in golden light blocked the chimera.

When a barrier that was not visible until a moment ago appeared, the Chimera clearly looked embarrassed.

Meanwhile, I finished off the two chimeras.

The chimera, left alone, cried out in pain and struggled, but it was no use.

“Goodbye.”

He melted the ice and returned it to a pure white long sword, then plunged the blade into his head.

The chimera, which was about to die, lost its strength and fell to the floor.

After defeating all three chimeras, I looked around and saw that the surroundings were in chaos.

Erina was dealing with five chimeras alone.

Catalina was recklessly charging in and cutting down the monsters.

“Erina! “Don’t get too far away!”

“…”

Erina glanced at me as if she had heard the voice.

She turned her head and focused back on her opponent.

Are you not planning on listening to my orders? For the first time she ignored me.

There was no way Erina would be in danger anyway.

But you are blatantly ignoring what I say. This has never happened before.

“Erina…!”

“Don’t come any closer!”

When I called her once again, Erina tried to break away from me with her voice full of irritation.

Why on earth do they do that? I couldn’t understand.

As she tried to move to approach her, her magic arrows started flying from afar.

Dozens of arrows. Fairies were providing support fire from afar.

“I’ll take care of it!”

As Celica put her hands together and prayed, a huge protective shield appeared in the sky.

Countless magic arrows disappeared as soon as they touched the sacred barrier.

As I took advantage of that opportunity and approached Erina, numerous chimeras focused their attention on me.

Erina blocked my path with an urgent expression.

“Seohyun…!”

“Calm down. “There is absolutely no reason to rush.”

I don’t know why she shows signs of anxiety.

Chimera was no match for us.

But Erina gritted her teeth and poured electricity into her sword.

Sparks fly from the white burning blade.

The surrounding monsters began to howl in fear.

“Seohyun. “Please stay here.”

“No. “I will take the left…”

“No! “Please stay still and do nothing!”

Erina restrains me as if using evil.

She was holding back my actions to the point where something was strange about her.

Then, Celica seemed embarrassed and opened her mouth.

“Erina. Calm down!”

“… Shut up.”

“Yes… ?”

“Just shut up and stay still…!”

For a moment, I thought I had heard wrong.

No matter how much Erina left, she accepted what I said and followed me.

But now it was completely different.

As if ignoring my words wasn’t enough, he spat harsh words at Celica.

Without realizing it, I felt my heart pounding in my chest.

Now there were a lot of monsters staring at us.

“Erina. I’ll deal with the four on the left. “You take care of the rest.”

“No! “Go back now!”

Ignoring Erina’s words, I approached her chimera with her shield in front.

Erina tried to follow me, but others were already approaching from the other side.

If we keep quiet like this, we might be surrounded.

Inevitably, Erina and I were divided on either side, with Celica at the center.

“Celica. “Can you carry me on your back?”

“Yes. “Excuse me…”

Unlike before, there were a lot of people to deal with.

There was a risk of becoming distant from Celica, so I decided to carry her.

“Prevent the fairies’ support fire.”

“Healing is…”

“It’s okay, so just focus on blocking the arrows.”

From Noble mtl dot com

It is impossible to fight while paying attention to all the arrows flying from the sky.

I had no choice but to give up on healing and just block the barrage of arrows.

Then Erina looked at me with her anxious eyes.

“Erina. “Concentrate.”

“…”

Hearing my words, he turned his head towards the enemy again.

While dealing with her Chimera, Celica created a barrier in the sky.

As the chimera rushed in, she released her magical power.

“Master, are you okay!”

“Ha… “This is… it’s over!”

I came back out of my daze when I heard the voices of my colleagues in my ears.

I looked up and saw Kayla and Tyria running towards me.

Has the left side of the battlefield been cleared? I felt relieved.

Their appearance was beyond words.

Kayla’s clothes were all covered in blood, and Tyria was breathing heavily.

But when they saw me, they were all speechless.

Looking at his expression, he seemed scared.

I tried to ask the reason because I didn’t understand the English sentence.

After seeing what I was doing, I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut.

“…”

He was sitting on the floor with his entire body covered in blood.

And Celica got off my back and was almost crying.

“Are you okay…?”

“Yes. “There are no injuries.”

In fact, if it weren’t for Celica, there were many moments when she would have been in danger.

She almost had her waist bitten by her chimera’s teeth, and its claws even grazed her face.

But I defeated them all.

The chimera corpses scattered around proved it.

“The battle is not over yet.”

As she moved her gaze towards the Demon Lord, Catalina was swinging her great sword.

Beside her, Malcolm was also holding a sword and dealing with her chimera.

The knights still maintained their defensive formation.

Are you planning on not moving forward even though most of the chimeras are dead?

Now that it was like this, we had no choice but to handle everything.

It’s a good thing. It was an opportunity to show the knights our might.

The monsters I saw were dozens of wolves and chimeras.

Because they were split into two sides and subjugated, their numbers were not large.

If we break through from the front like this, we will be able to break through to the location of the fairy in one go.

“Kayla. Tyria. “Intercept the wolves from a distance.”

“Yes. All right.”

“I and Erina will take care of all those who come close.”

“…Yes.”

Erina raised her sword in a dazed manner.

The figure that was yelling at me just a moment ago was gone.

Now he was listening to me like a gentle sheep.

‘Later…’ ‘Let’s think about it later.’

Although I was angry at Erina’s unruly behavior, now I had to deal with her enemy.

Whether she scolds her or counsels her is a matter of later.

So my colleagues and I began to move forward and defeat the monsters.

As Tyria’s arrows and Kayla’s fire magic were rampant, the monsters were unable to approach us.

Even though she barely managed to avoid the arrows and magic and came closer, Erina swung her sword and her body was cut in two.

As soon as he got close to Catalina, she screamed and got angry.

“What! “These guys are mine!”

“Where is something like that in war?”

Even in the midst of a power struggle with the chimera, can he afford to turn a blind eye?

When I pulled out my sword and cut off the chimera’s legs, the large body collapsed.

Just like that, Catalina struck down her great sword, splitting her head in two.

“Ugh… “

Catalina spat out the blood that had entered her mouth and looked at me with her disapproving eyes.

“How many have you caught so far?”

“Well, between us, I think there would be more than 15 of us.”

It was natural for us, who had a large number, to kill more people.

Catalina roughly shook the blood off her greatsword as if she were indignant.

Meanwhile, Malcolm was out of breath after cutting down the pack of wolves.

“Ha… “Sister, please stop…”

“I understand. “I understand.”

Catalina barely lowered her voice when she saw Malcolm, sweating profusely and out of breath.

Now there are only a few monsters left. And there are only fairies who provide support fire from afar.

In fact, the odds of victory are already tilted. All that remains is finishing.

“Tyria. “Are you okay?”

“…Yes. “I was prepared.”

So far, Tyria has only fired arrows at wolves and chimeras.

Even though she was clearly within range of where the fairies were, she intentionally did not fire her arrows.

But she was no longer in trouble. Tyria also had to deal with fairies since she had decided to oppose the Demon King’s army.

“Charge! Charge!”

At that moment, Gilbert’s voice echoed throughout the battlefield.

Did they only run out now that all the chimeras and wolves were gone?

It was so absurd that I burst out laughing.

“Okay. “Let’s go too.”

With my words, my companions ran forward and headed towards the fairies.

As the distance got closer, the fairies became scared and began to disperse.
