146 – White Dragon Hunter 6

The resistance of the burning Sliva Castle engulfed in white flames

And, the square in front.

There, the two armies clashed.

A witch and a mage who wield wands filled with wild mana folded into life.

And, in response to this, the guards who practiced swordsmanship with a simple but firm feeling of battle and defense.

“die! Dogs of the Holy Empire!”

“Heretics who go against the will of God! This is your grave!”

Although the number itself was minuscule compared to previous clashes of 10,000 powers. These are the places where top-notch masters from both countries gather.

From the sharpness of the condensation he was using, it seemed as if he was wielding a weapon wrapped in flames.

-Jijijijik!!-

The sharp sound of collisions of magical powers can be heard from everywhere.

Although witches and mages were one step ahead in their ability to handle magic, the SS were superior in their ability to handle weapons.

In the midst of such a tense battle with each other. In the center of the plaza, two men and women were engaged in a bloody battle.

-Pig Jiji Jik!-

Andersen is fighting a match against two swords dancing in front of his eyes.

Elios, too, is different from when he was playing with Ophelia before. Literally, with all his might, he was engaged in battle with the sole purpose of killing the opponent.

Basically, Elios shows off his swordsmanship as if he were dancing by actively utilizing the physical strength that overwhelms humans and at the same time the flexibility unique to women.

At first glance, it was even beautiful, but from the point of view of Andersen, who was dealing with it, there was no room for it to be seen as something more than just a gesture of death.

A series of fast yet strong attacks based on overwhelming physical ability and overflowing magic power.

A swordsmanship that covers all gaps with only continuous offensive attacks without considering defense at all.

An ordinary person would lose his life without attempting to stop it, and even a decent master would be the first to fall off his neck in the process of trying to find a gap in his opponent.

But at this moment.

The person facing Elios, who was taking an almost flawless offensive like this, was not a person who could be called a simple master.

-visor!-

“!”

In an instant, Andersen squeezes through the momentary gap between attacks and attacks.

Elios, who had been wielding his sword without hesitation, lost his balance for a moment, and Andersen took advantage of that gap and thrust his sword precisely into her heart.

at that time.

“Kuk!”

-Damn!-

“Chit..”

The next moment, Andersen leans back while reaping the attack.

Seeing that, Elios lightly clicked his tongue.

“It’s a pity, if I had tried to retract the attack, one arm would have evaporated right away.”

The place where Andersen had been standing just before had a blackened pit, as if it had been roasted in flames.

Distinct ground changes that can be seen even without hearing any explosions.

Literally, it looked like the ground had completely evaporated.

At the same time, what Andersen could see were three or four blue magic circles floating in the air around the White Dragon Princess.

As he gazed at the scene, Andersen’s forehead began to trickle with cold sweat.

‘I feel it every time, but that magic called photon bombardment. It’s a truly terrifying skill…’

Along with the breath of the dragon of white flame he knew, the strongest magic photon bombardment possessed by the White Dragon Princess.

Like dew in front of the sun, Andersen knew very keenly about its power to evaporate everything in an instant through several battles.

In fact, it was impossible to deal with other than evasion, and if there were no magical treatment, it was an attack with enough power to kill him several times over the past few years.

In addition, starting to take it out meant that the White Dragon Princess would do everything in her power, so from here on out, she also needed to be prepared.

If that’s the case in general.

‘It can be said that there is nothing more hidden than the fact that the White Dragon Princess started using photon bombardment. Even if there is, it won’t be such a big risk…’

In the first place, Andersen… No, to be precise. The number predicted by Bahamut, who had read the movements of the White Dragon Princess better than he could have imagined, was roughly up to this point.

Due to her nature of caring for her subordinates, she will never push this far by force, and in the meantime, she will definitely try to move a small number of elite troops to capture the emperor.

In order to prepare for this, Andersen, like now, selected elite troops and prepared them in advance, and as you can see, this was a perfectly hit situation.

‘indeed. The more you look at him, the more he is a great person. The one called Bahamut. I didn’t become the continent’s greatest colossus for nothing. I know almost exactly the nature and mindset of the main characters of the continent, and how they will move through this.’

While admiring Bahamut again, Andersen slowly prepared to move on to the next operation.

And

-bang!-

The next moment, a loud explosion was heard from behind.

As a result, those who were fighting in the square began to shake at once.

Immediately afterwards, Andersen shouted to them in an urgent voice.

“damn! It’s a retreat! It’s a signal that His Majesty is in danger!”

“Protect Your Majesty! Full army retreat!”

Andersen and the SS escaped like the ebb tide, stopping the battle as they shouted in an urgent voice.

Eleos felt a little embarrassed, but at the same time began to recognize that he had to make his own decisions.

‘Is the emperor in danger? That means… Does that mean that our troops, who were slowly attacking from the outside, earned something? Either that or…’

Unfortunately, there is no way to directly contact them right now.

First of all, the last order she gave to the generals under her command was to attack slowly from the outskirts, but never rush.

However, if you get swept away by emotions during the war, such an order may not be followed well, and this was a part that Elios also took into consideration to some extent.

‘Those who prepared to that extent to catch me retreated so quickly at this time when the balance was still tight. That means that something must have happened… No way?’

In some cases, the allies who were attacking the outskirts could have really captured the emperor alive or endangered it.

However, such an optimistic thought did not come to Elios’ head.

Andersen and the SS, who were competing almost equally with themselves.

If those with that level of skill were to deal with the relatively weak allies who were attacking the outskirts, there would be no reason to lose.

In particular, if it was set in a narrow and complicated place like this place, the risk of being broken from all walks of life was very high.

‘Depending on the situation, the allies who liked to corner the emperor could be annihilated on the contrary. Even if it’s not… I have to track them down first.’

The crisis of an ally that might not be possible.

In addition, now that it is very likely that they are going to the place where the emperor is, it was absolutely impossible to miss from Elios’ point of view, who had the emperor and Bahamut as the final targets of this war.

“Chase! We must go after them and capture the emperor alive!”

“Yes! All right!”

So, according to Ellios’ order, her subordinates immediately started chasing after the SS with her.

And, at that moment…

As they watched, smiles began to spread slowly on the lips of those who were hiding in the dark.

“And.. indeed. It started moving as expected.”

“As expected, our new master’s ability is really great. I can’t compare to the incompetent and sassy noble scumbags. All that remains is to have fun as planned.”

“All quiet. Keep talking, but don’t be careless.”

“Yeah right. Of course, I am also excited about the prey that I met after a long time. Whoops.”

They said a word in a low voice as they watched the Drago and Imperial troops follow the guards into a narrow and dark alleyway.

Immediately after confirming that the desired angle came out to some extent.

their leader.

A quiet order fell from Echid’s mouth.

“It starts. Make no mistake.”
