Chapter 576 – #118_Betrayal (5)
#576
One.
The old-fashioned look of the palace disappeared like a mirage, and a huge chapel was created.
Majestic, holy, or divine.
There are probably many words that can modify a chapel.
However, the first thing that came to mind of the word ‘huge’ was its majesty.
The ceiling you have to look up at.
This space, reminiscent of a prophet’s dream rather than a realistic building, seemed to have no shortage of being a battlefield for witches.
As confirmed before, the nun’s uniform that Dorothy always wears is not an ordinary item.
It is an artifact worthy of being called a body-wearing fortress that has excellent defense performance in itself.
Of course, that was nothing more than short-circuited speculation.
I didn’t notice that detail.
And the moment Dorothy’s hidden barrier completely engulfed her in all directions, she understood the full role of the nun’s outfit.
The pillar connecting the floor to the ceiling was as thick and tall as the World Tree.
However, what supports all this space is not that pillar, but Dorothy’s nun’s uniform.
She herself became an axis and the center of a newly drawn world.
There is no way I would do such a troublesome thing without calculation.
It seems to be a backside barrier that has been remodeled in some way, like Ea Sadalmelik’s ‘water bottle’ or Bianca’s ‘Arena flag’.
And that alteration would work in Dorothy’s favor.
“…….”
Swallow the indescribable bitterness and recharge your mana.
He put on his armor and erected a red branch.
In fact, I know that feelings like this are extravagant.
It is not because we are afraid of fighting that we become discouraged.
Her disappointment in Dorothy stemmed from placing some of her expectations on her.
“What happened to Your Majesty?”
“If you’re that curious, why don’t you check it yourself?”
Even as she asked the question, she was half convinced.
Dorothy’s actions are overly bold.
If she escapes her carelessness and runs away, she is preparing to show off her skills.
That too, in the deep sea that was no different from the realm of Rruye, and especially in the kingdom of Nukelaby, which was no different than the main base.
This indirectly implies that Leruhe has become unable to intervene in battle.
It was not difficult to predict the circumstances before and after.
It would be similar to the situation in which a dog who is obedient to people approached the dog owner without any warning.
Perhaps, as she did to Siu, she calmly approached and let go of her knife.
“Why?”
Knowing that she is meaningless, she asks one last question.
Dorothy giggled as if this was all a joke.
“I finally found a toy I liked,” She said. You didn’t accept the Scout offer, did you? Judging from the Queen’s reaction, it seems like she won’t even give permission~ Can you tell me anything else?”
“For just that reason?”
For just that reason.
Anger was brewing.
Does it mean that merit is not even recognized?
Leruyet’s trust in Dorothy was blind enough to be dangerous even from her side.
He didn’t care about his achievements in the slightest, and he treated him generously as a friend.
To stab such a Rruye without hesitation.
Isn’t Leruye even a disciple of her friend who passed away not too long ago?
“Oh, you are scared. Do you know how to make a face like that?”
I manage to control the feeling of wanting to shout all sorts of swear words.
“I told you very clearly. I only know how to do it.”
Dorothy speaks calmly.
It was such a trashy excuse that I didn’t feel worthy of an answer.
It redefines all her judgments directed at her thus far.
She is no longer a friend of Leruhe.
Nor is it the gray molecule that made Siwoo fall into complicated thoughts.
A true enemy.
It is nothing more than a dangerous person to be excluded.
That’s why you need to be more cool.
A confused mind affects battle.
In the first place, Dorothy’s words and actions, acting casually, may have been an intentional provocation.
The body and mind go into battle mode.
As usual, the situation between the two sides and the good and bad were listed.
It’s something you always do before a battle.
It was different when I dealt with Bianca the other day.
Neither Sioux nor Dorothy have much information about each other.
Even though I was not strong enough at that time, I was able to grasp Bianca’s magnetism magic and courtesy and fully prepare.
But as of now, nothing was known.
Because of the lack of information, the options are divided from the moment you try to exchange the first move.
There are two choices here.
One is to keep a distance from Dorothy and use the ribbon to figure out her magnetic magic before approaching.
Two, to induce the most confident close combat by suddenly closing the distance.
Each has risks and returns.
In the case of the former, it is a slightly safer prudence.
Attacking without any information is no better than running through a minefield without any equipment.
Therefore, it was a great advantage to be able to identify and rule out certain risks by using the ribbon as a tester.
However, this is no different from giving information to Dorothy, and when a rough estimate comes out, it is highly likely that it will be very difficult to narrow the distance belatedly.
In the case of the latter, it is a surprise strategy to get the head start on the first attack.
The fact that there is no information about Siwoo is the same as Dorothy.
From experience and common sense, this is the best time to dig into it.
However, there is the problem of having to respond to all situations improvised, and in addition, it is accompanied by the risk of not being able to respond to the traps that Dorothy may have prepared.
“Bloom.”
The time to worry was short.
Dorothy is in the 22nd rank.
It is of the same rank as the mighty witch of desire, and it is a feat that has experience in battle with many witches.
Even if Siwoo, who has become incomparably stronger than before, attacking only with the straight attack method has a low expected value.
Player win.
It is best to induce close combat using the red branch as Siwoo’s greatest strength.
Siwoo’s body disappeared in the air with a blue light.
The place that reappeared was Dorothy’s back, mid-air, and the back of her head was clearly visible.
In addition to her magical enhancements, her body’s vigilance, sensitized by the excitement of her battles, can pick up even the slightest fluff on the nape of her neck.
I swung the spear as hard as I could toward a vital spot that was fatal to both humans and witches.
The blade of a spear wraps itself around the nape of her defenseless neck, as if licking it.
Even for a short moment, I had a premonition that I was going to lose weight.
“It really reminds me of the terrifying Pink Duke. You said you were a disciple, so is that true?”
Dorothy’s body moved slightly.
As if she was dancing her waltz and turning gracefully, she took a light step and spun around.
With minimal movements, without even looking at Siwoo, she dodged an unexpected blow from behind.
No need to panic.
All you have to do is use the deviated force intact to add rotational force.
The sharpness of the spear in his hand was showing a vast difference from a month ago.
– Breakup liquid!
A blow far more powerful than before collided with Dorothy’s pure white sword.
– Empty!
-Parts, parts, parts!
The white light that breaks and scatters beautifully, and the barrier that spreads wildly like sparks.
“Ouch!”
That moment.
Starting with the wrist, an ominous sound came from the waist as the rotational force increased along with the impact that the entire arm was about to be smashed.
The pressure that shakes the intestines.
Going back to being human and wielding an iron pipe with all your might on a giant alloy cube would feel the same.
The fact that there were no broken wrists or cracked bones was purely due to the strength of the spiritual body.
I stumbled backwards, trying to understand the incomprehensible situation.
There is not a little experience of facing arms in battle.
He already had a lot of experience with himself in the ordeal, with the enemy knights, and with his master.
However, there has never been a case where such a phenomenon occurred when each other’s weapons collided.
“Are you surprised?”
Again, reflect on the situation a little while ago.
Dorothy only defended Siwoo, who was wielding her spear with all her might, by gently sticking out her sword.
At that point, something happened that defied the laws of physics.
Dorothy’s sword did not move even a millimeter from where it was originally extended.
Her body is also in a defensive posture deeply rooted in the ground.
Not even a single strand of her hair fluttered.
“Try it one more time. I’ll give you a chance.”
Dorothy looked relaxed, her arms open, her sword in her hand.
It didn’t seem to have been affected in the slightest by the previous clash.
“Whoop… !”
She senses something is wrong, but she has no choice but to bump into it anyway.
But this time she was a little more careful, and wrapped the ribbon around her wrists and joints as if she were banding the inside of her armor.
It was to dampen her shock as much as possible.
Pretending to dot her top, stabbing from top to bottom.
It’s a simple stab that doesn’t look like much at first glance, but it’s a quick blow that can hardly be countered if you look at it from the front because it’s mixed with feint action.
-Bang!
-Parts, parts, parts!
“Keugh… !”
However, even with a different method of attack, what came out was the same result.
At first glance, Dorothy’s posture seemed unremarkable.
As if she hadn’t trained swordsmanship professionally, at first glance, her posture was full of gaps.
Still, she sniffed out Siu’s paint and just brushed it aside as if she were pulling away her cobwebs.
The trajectory of the spear, loaded with fierce force, was completely distorted by just that amount of action, and I received a shock as if my internal organs were being crushed.
On the other hand, Dorothy’s sword was swung with an even movement that did not change an inch from its original movement, and the distortion field generated in the process was easily neutralized by the nun’s uniform.
The result is a movement that seems to completely ignore action and reaction.
What I feel is the difference between the sense of weight and absolute strength facing Mt.
I forgot about it for a while because there was no outward splendor like before Bianca.
The opponent is in the 22nd rank.
A strong person who climbed two steps higher than the realm of a great witch who twists the natural order.
“Are you done? I’m coming?”
Dorothy stands up as if she was waiting for Siwoo, who was almost about to fall, to straighten up.
His voice, which always seemed meaningless, overflowed with the dignity of a strong man.
After.
Her sword was swung.
