Brilliant golden hair, tied together at the back of her neck, glowed even deeper in the orange glow of the setting sun.
Located at the heart of the armor she was wearing, the pattern of the royal family symbolizing the Gargantua dynasty melted into a dark shadow because Serena turned her back to the sun.
I don’t know if the shadow on her face was simply because she had her back to the sun, or if it was because of Serena’s ferocious spirit.
But it was never a situation that could pass normally.
In Serena’s right hand was the World Eater that had been pulled out of its scabbard. As if he was already fully prepared to fight, blue mana shimmered in the blade.
The left hand, which trembled while holding it tightly, clearly showed how much anger Serena was feeling right now.
The blue jewel-like eyes were fixed on me, not giving a single glance to anything else.
All sorts of emotions were mixed in her eyes. Happiness, loyalty, joy, joy, sadness, anger, hatred, etc.
The positive ones were towards me, and the negative ones towards Charlotte.
With each step Serena took, the stone pavement cracked open as if she were walking on thin ice. The people around them were busy running away after seeing it.
Since Charlotte isolated the space around her, no one could see Charlotte and me except for Serena, who could read the flow of mana in detail.
But even they could see Serena.
I was able to see the royal family pattern on Serena’s armor.
This place belonged to the shadowy area, and it was a place where people with bad backs and groups of people who calmly committed various crimes gathered.
There was no reason why the lord had to use his energy to pull out the roots, so a strange symbiotic relationship was formed.

Just a few days ago, the five people who had been arguing against me were rather counterattacked and died.
It’s a zone where no one says much even though 5 people have died, and conversely, a place where people who die after attacking without knowing their subject are treated as idiots.
That place was right here.
So, the mere fact that the Royal Knights came to such a rotten place was enough to cause panic in the surroundings.
Moreover, even more so if the knight is in a situation where he is furious from head to toe.
There are a lot of points where I am stabbed at what I did wrong, but the knight of the Royal Knights who came here seems to explode if I touch it. The reason to run away was the level of garage overflow.
Those who don’t know the inside story that they came looking for me and found me and Charlotte stuck together and their eyes turned upside down, so they probably think they’re here to catch someone.
That is, someone who makes the Royal Knights so angry.
The people on the street ran away in a panic, and the roadside became empty without realizing it.
Only two women glaring at each other with the world’s savage expressions and a boy who was stuck in between and wondering how to overcome this embarrassing moment remained.
“My lord.”
Serena was the first to break the silence. Two clean, uncluttered syllables echoed across the empty boulevard.
It was clear who the word lord had just come out of his mouth was referring to, Charlotte or me, but there were two things Serena hadn’t thought of before.
The first was that Charlotte and I were together, and the second was that Charlotte was also quietly furious at the fact that her time with me was interrupted.
Enough to say anything to scratch Serena’s insides.
Before I could answer that I was listening, Charlotte jumped ahead and opened her mouth first.
It seemed that he had even used a spell to prevent me from speaking, because my tongue was so stiff. He stopped just as he was about to open his mouth to answer.
“Your queen is listening. I will allow you to speak, Serena Elizabeth, the First Commander of the Royal Knights.”
Hearing those words, Serena’s eyebrows twitched.
Even though I clearly knew who Serena’s lord meant, the meaning of the act of answering instead of me, insisting on emphasizing the position of the Royal Knights, was clear.
Trying to scratch Serena’s planting somehow.
The effect of Charlotte’s provocation was unparalleled. It seemed that the amount of mana overflowing from Serena had doubled.
Even though there was no wind, her hair fluttered, and now not only the clenched fist of her left hand, but the tip of the World Eater’s blade visibly trembled.
It seemed that he was barely holding back his anger.
“What did you just say?”
“Since your ‘lord’ Charlotte de Gargantua is listening, I said that my knight, Serena Elizabeth, the 1st Commander-in-Chief of the royal family, has given permission to speak. Didn’t you call your ‘lord’ Jim?”
Charlotte deliberately emphasized the word ‘lord’ and said it clearly. twice as well.
That was the decisive blow.
Before I could move my tongue that was barely stiff enough to tell Serena to calm down, in the blink of an eye, my body was flying through the air.
It took me a while to understand why my body was floating in the air. And it was only before I hit the ground that I could barely remember what had just happened.
‘The body was thrown to the side.’
In the place where Serena had been standing just before, a shower of tile fragments along the street that had been smashed in the direction of the setting sun were scattered.
The floor was dented as if some kind of explosive magic had exploded, and the pavement, cracked like pieces of broken glass, rose upward as they couldn’t rub themselves against each other.
It was a trace of Serena kicking off the ground and jumping out towards Charlotte.
Serena is the one who has the ability to fight on the water without causing a single wave on the surface of the water, but to the extent that she made up her mind and jumped out while plowing the ground like that, her eyes really turned upside down.
Or just not interested in whether this place is broken or not.
When I thought this far, my right shoulder hit the ground first. It was because the body was turned upside down halfway through and flew away.
As soon as my shoulders hit the ground, the weight of the rest of my body slammed to the ground, unable to handle the weight and shattered with a thud.
Soon after, my shoulder was smashed to the bone and I sat down, and my chin sank to the floor, and I felt that one side of my face was completely sunk. The vision in the right eye went blank.
A tooth pulled out of the gum penetrated the roof of the mouth and lodged in it. A piece of tongue that had been cut between the teeth protruded out. I could feel the bitter taste of blood in my mouth.
My body rolled back two or three times, and I stopped abruptly as if my head got caught in a crack somewhere.
With the sound of a shattering pop, something hard dug into the skull and stirred the brain. I thought my eyeballs would pop out from the shock.
However, my body had no intention of stopping, and the inertia of being pushed backwards was still acting on my body.
The neck vertebrae jerked clockwise, and the skin around the neck was pulled numbly. The vision I could see with only one eye vaguely passed my back.
‘If my neck turns around, I feel strange when I recover later.’
When the neck turns clockwise or counterclockwise about three turns, the head usually spins when recovering, but it was quite strange to recover in that way.
Still, thanks to the back of his head being pierced by something protruding, he was able to see what had just happened.
In the distance, I saw Serena and Charlotte fighting each other with swords against the magic circle.
The space that Charlotte had isolated herself from with magic shattered like blue glass as Serena broke it and invaded, scattering its shards in all directions.
Serena was half floating in the air. The World Eater, held obliquely with both hands, slowly dug into the magic circle blocking his path.
With one hand forward, Charlotte protected herself by creating a defensive magic circle at the tip of her hand that was almost as tall as her height.

Judging from the complex patterns drawn on the inner edge of the magic circle, it was probably a top-tier defense magic circle.
Serena breaks through the isolated space itself and intrudes into the magic circle of the hierarchy that can defend against meteor impact magic little by little, and Charlotte casts the highest level defense magic circle at a speed close to instant in that short moment without even chanting.
It was obvious what the outcome of the clash between the two would have been.
All objects within a radius of more than 10m were blown away by the shock wave alone. Of course, I was included in the category of all those objects.
I could see the building next to Serena and Charlotte creaking and twisting due to the shock wave created by the World Eater and the defensive magic circle.
The outer wall of the building was cracked, and only sharp pieces of glass were left on the windowsill where the window was blown out.
Only now did time begin to flow normally.
In front of Serena, who charged with all her might, and Charlotte, who blocked it, the time in seconds was like crawling like a slug.

Just as I was about to move my half-cut tongue and several missing teeth to yell at both of them to stop, something large fell over my head.
The sight went dark with the sound of the upper body being crushed.
Fucked.
who will stop that
