124. Battle of the Fortress (5)

Ainel’s sword that cut off his wrist shook with vicious blood. Shining ghost energy was overlaid on Ainel’s pure eyes.

Her pupil is a demon who faces an enraged knight despite his wrist being cut off. To be precise, he was aiming for his defenselessly exposed neck.

An attack that strikes in a straight line. Ainel’s sword crossed the devil’s wrist and fell down.

She immediately took a halt and prepared for an unexpected counterattack from the devil.

Still, she teased her feet. In an instant, the distance narrows, Ainel’s mana and the devil’s demonic energy collide, and a battle begins. Clash of ranks. The two gathered their energy to seize the space and become the losers who would have an absolute advantage in this battle.

“You are doing nonsense on the subject of disgusting demons.”

That majestic aura is because Ainel has surpassed a mid-level demon. Ai Nel pushed her right foot into the space that her demon was ruling over.

Left foot sweeping the floor, followed by the right foot. Now in time she raised her sword.

Ainel’s sword drew its blade to sever her demon’s head. If he doesn’t respond like this, his head will soon fall off the wall.

“… A brave knight.”

Unfortunately, however, the devil was startled to notice at least one of his own deaths even in the face of endless boredom.

The guy with a crumpled expression pulled his body back in an instant to avoid the child Nel’s sword. A small line formed on his uvula, and black blood flowed down his neckline.

“Tsk.”

Ainel clicked her tongue. Judging from the twisted corners of her mouth, she seemed to regret not being able to drop his head in one blow.

Certainly, if I had poked it a little deeper, it would have yielded meaningful results. Her mind was vaguely understood.

But that’s it.

Ainel, who started fighting the devil, went as Ainel. And as Shione’s attendant, I am my own. More than this, as much as I have to do the work assigned to me without any time to look at it.

I caught a glimpse of my mother’s fragmentary inaction for a moment. For a moment, I grabbed the hand of my master, who was fascinated by his lofty realm, and led me.

“Ainel-nim gave us time to run, so we must hurry and avoid it.”

“But… Shouldn’t you help her mother?”

“Even if we get into a fight right now, it won’t help much. Rather, it would only be a hindrance. Sione-nim, are you confident that you won’t get involved in that fight and get caught up in the devil?”

At my words, Shione quietly nodded his head. Fortunately, this time, unlike the festival day, I didn’t have to worry about what I said.

“… It would be better to fall back and gather the paladins and knights.”

Rather, until I came up with the answer I wanted. For the first time in a while, I felt that I agreed with Shione.

That was the moment she was trying to get rid of her body.

“That hair and even the ominous energy. I remembered. Caina… You were the descendant of that crazy woman.”

The devil’s demonic energy begins to spread even thicker.

That bastard was full of anger. Kayna Cianella. Seeing as she mentions the name of her first head of the Cianella count family, it seems that her bastard has a connection with her.

Looking at him having seizures like someone who made a mistake, it seemed that the past between him and the first family member was not very beautiful.

Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to make such a rotten expression.

‘It’s become a nuisance.’

I reflexively hurriedly turned my mana. Such a thick demonic energy eats away at people’s bodies. It’s right to make sure you don’t get drunk and suffer.

Since Shione has the power of annihilation, you don’t have to worry about the demon’s erosion. Because the Hunter who had the power of the demons was a person who didn’t mind wandering around the damned devil’s realm with her bare body without any preparation.

Even if the authority is a little faded, the magic energy emitted by a mediocre demon will not be able to help Shione.

“There are priests over there. Ray, hurry over there—”

As expected, Shione walks around the castle wall casually even during the Magi.

It was not demons that blocked her steps, but monsters that climbed up the walls.

“Gurrureung… ….”

“Kie-e”

From noble mtl dot com

Demonic spirits surround me and Shione as the center.

Those who climbed up the wall were drooling as they were led by the strong demonic energy of the intermediate level. The problem is that we are caught in their sight. In the end, these bastards start licking their lips at me and Sione.

“The retreat is blocked. It’s difficult…….”

Shione took out an arrow from her quiver and held it up.

Still, she looked at the priests over there. As monsters flocked to us, they had time to spare.

In fact, some of the combat priests and paladins are aware of the seriousness of this side and are approaching, so we should be able to just withstand their attacks here.

But just holding on all the time didn’t suit my temper.

“Ray?”

“You are watching. I will clear the way.”

I took out an arrow and took a step forward.

I also cut the lower level demon’s lifeline. There is nothing more embarrassing than having to struggle with these unreasonable henchmen.

Shortly thereafter, my magic consumed them.

* *

“Kaina… How do you know the name of the first head of the family?”

“At least a demon involved in this dimension would have no choice but to know. So many demons fell at the hands of that damn b*tch. However-“

The devil’s eyes narrow. The ugly face, the corner of his mouth rises sharply, causing even greater rejection.

“Even though that b*tch was amazing. The descendants are not up to par.”

The strong demonic energy burst out.

The monster chases a special energy to one side of the castle wall. Gather to the place where Ainel and the devil exist.

The monsters who were intoxicated with takgi ended up becoming monsters who were buried in just chewing flesh and drinking blood.

In the first place, the devil did not assume the idea of fighting with Ainel.

Ainel quickly widened her sights and confirmed Shion.

She didn’t get very far from herself, and she was covered in a tidal wave of monsters.

‘It’s fortunate.’

Since Shione’s side is trustworthy, Ray is attached.

If he had evaporated a demon the other day, he would be able to protect himself while taking care of Shione somehow.

As proof of that.

Whoa!!!

The silent castle wall. Above them, turbulence began to swirl.

A phenomenon that appears when Ray uses magic. I saw with my own eyes the powerful magic created by these turbulent streams. That group of monsters will be an ordeal that Shione and Ray can overcome.

That’s why Ainel stopped focusing on them.

She has only one blue eye. She headed in the form of a hideous human with black horns.

‘I’ll cut his throat as quickly as possible.’

There’s nothing good about letting Magi eat the wall. Moreover, he intended to raise the soul of the dead with his head.

“Whoa—”

Breathe in and relax your muscles for a moment.

My breath flutters in my mind. The bodies of the soldiers cooled down by the devils and monsters. Like the soul of an ally who escaped from that hardening body.

It was then.

“Kreureung!”

The four-legged monster thrust out its sharp claws.

“Suck!”

Ainel held her breath.

She squeezed her muscles in an instant and swung the sword.

His body was split in half by the clean, diagonal attack.

My shoulders are heavy and my heart is always stuffy. She has been like this ever since the beginning of preparations for the Susu Temple.

The head of Count Cianella’s family. She is the descendant of a knight who slayed demons more valiantly than anyone else. A legitimate successor to the spirit of his ancestors. All the words that referred to himself, the weight of it weighed on his mind.

However, retreat does not exist for oneself. Carrying the spirit that her ancestors fortified into her body, she must always make choices worthy of Cianella.

“I am the head of the count family.”

Literally, I am the head of the count family. Because he is the head of one of the best families in the kingdom of God.

The first queen and the Count must keep the covenant. As a knight who serves the lord of the kingdom, the monsters and demons in the demonic world must stop here somehow.

“And soon my name is the Cianella of the day itself.”

The deceased head of the previous generation. As a person who inherited the Yuji 遺旨 inherited from his mother, he had the duty to prevent the tyranny of demons.

“Even if my individual actions fall short of those of my ancestors, I have inherited that spirit without lacking.”

Ainel kicked the ground.

The soaring aura reverberates through space.

“I intend to kill you to restore our spirits and honor the sorrow of the dead.”

Dozens of demons and Ainel continued.

Ainel had a sword more poisonous than Siabelle’s. It was a characteristic of Cianella’s swordsmanship.

A sword forged with the soul of a demon to catch it. In that chilling attack that wickedly tried to sever the lifeline, the alien being summoned a monster.

The fierce battle continued.

Ainel made fun of the sword. She suffocates the attacking monsters and keeps the demons in check. Sometimes, they deliberately create gaps to counterattack.

Ainel’s swordsmanship gradually began to be perfected through battles with demons.

If it’s just a problem.

“…… !”

The fact that they were so outnumbered.

Finally allowed the first attack. A monster with sharp teeth driven into my thigh. A burning pain rises to the leg.

Pooh!

Ainel hurriedly plunged his sword into his throat. However, that alone was too much for him to release his strength from his snout. It was only after twisting the sword to cut out the throat that the leg was freed.

“You look pretty weak for what you said so vigorously.”

“… Shut that mouth.”

Ainel growled. The demon simply split the thread and enjoyed its wrath.

The fact that one attack was allowed meant that there were more. Ainel began to feel that her body was falling apart little by little.

One did not stop the sword. This time was different.

Now she voluntarily used the sword based on herself as a knight, not out of a sense of duty as the head of the count’s family.

Maybe because she cut down countless demons. She felt her stagnant swordsmanship move toward the final essence. As she did, she took the direction of the sword she would pursue and hone her whole life.

“… The ancestors became demons to be true to you. My sword now is proof of that.”

I was out of breath. The right leg, which had been bitten earlier, was already stained with blood. A lot of injuries and shocks were accumulated in the body due to several fierce fights with other monsters.

“However, I am a little different.”

The monologue continued.

To clear my mind.

“I will cut the damn moonlight and night instead of the devil.”

Slowly!

A giant monster attacked Ainel and fell down after losing her head.

“Without the need for me to become a demon, I will cut down the moon and night, the sources of demons, and send you guys down to the pit.”

The wall collapsed.

A step forward.

Ai Nell stepped on her stride. She then twisted her back and drew her sword horizontally across her.

Ilseom. An aura that shined more brilliantly than anyone else on the castle wall drew a half moon. The mighty blow that rises from this imprints on everyone the existence of one person in the chaotic battlefield.

Space is distorted. The new model of the monsters located in the Distortion collapses, and the demon hiding behind it appears.

Ainel took a step forward.

She didn’t lose her grace despite her condition getting lower and lower.

One sword.

The moonlight was cut by the elegantly swinging sword. In the night of the world, Ainel’s realization reached the devil’s neck. It was proved Her own sword cut the moonlight as she wished, cut off the night.

The night sky of the kingdom in the cold battlefield. A new star rose in the sky of the kingdom.
