Spera looked at Rey with a worm-eaten expression.
It was the first expression Spera showed after meeting, but Rey made a sick sound as Spera did it or not, covering her face with both hands.
‘Is this my jaw problem?’
I just muttered whatever came to my mind, and the words immediately turned into seeds.
Looking back, this wasn’t the only time this happened.
In the past, when Jimmy asked the meaning of the dragon head bone, he played a silly pun once with “dragon princess lair”, but a few years later, his red-eyed little brother didn’t even come out.
Rei was pulling her hair out of her growing irritation and suddenly stopped moving.
‘Am I right now?’
Ernst would not have known that the raid would be carried out at this hour.
However, he must have had in mind the possibility that Sperana Warpgate could be targeted.
In such a situation, tying Rey with Spera and sending them to a place where the warp gate exists was a call to play the role of a turret at the same time.
‘Am I right…!’
In the Earl of Phillips, Ray was always accustomed to hitting others.
But not everyone in the world was like Jimmy.
Spera looked at Rey, who was suffering alone, with a grim expression.
Rey, who came to his senses after a while, took a deep breath and shook the jewel Ernst had given him.
“Girl, first of all, let me quickly explain what exactly this is.”
*
Jenkinson was startled as he drove the horse calmly.
Suddenly, sharp forces began to flow from all directions.
All those who were escorting the wagon drew their weapons.
After a moment of silence.
The shields of the raiders besieging the wagon were removed.
A hundred or more troops surrounded the carriage on all sides.
Everyone, including Jenkinson, confirmed their enemies and couldn’t hide their embarrassment.
‘What the hell is this…!’
In order to completely conceal and move such a large number of troops within the Empire, countless pre-works, including the help of a high circle wizard, were required.
Even then, the chance of being caught would be half.
However, they arrived successfully and besieged Jenkinson and other members of the Phillips and Frislans.
As Jenkinson was raising tension with his sword, Ray approached and stuck right next to him.
“master.”
“Lay…!”
“Ha, I’ll turn.”
Rey frowned upon checking the momentum of the enemies besieging him.
I was expecting it to be that the number of heads was filled with ordinary soldiers, but when I saw the momentum, they were all high-class soldiers.
It must have been a military force that had been secretly replaced by people for a long time.
‘There are four graduates, and the remaining knights are also elite when looking at their momentum and armament, and many of the wizards even have paladins.’
The combination was well-equipped, and the magicians on the other side were already ready for battle.
If this is the case, the difficulty of the battle soars sharply.
‘…he’s there.’
Rey looked around the enemies and found the owner of the red eyes with silver hair tied up.
was the royal family.
Ray confirmed that his guess was roughly correct, and muttered a swear word.
‘f*ck.’

Now, I don’t know Spera, so please send it to me~.
Moreover, it was obvious that they would execute those who were not needed, except for Spera, at any time sooner or later.
The clash was to be expected, and there was no way he could hide his skills in this situation.
“…”
Rey was worried as he touched the hilt of the sword.
Rey was going to use all of her power, but she didn’t want to expose Luna to the outside yet.
‘Can we finish the battle with only the help of the spirits who contracted with Luna?’
As Rey struggled to find an answer, Aftel suddenly appeared next to him.
[master.]
“…?”
[That human… is the one in memory.]
Aftel pointed to one of his close associates standing close to the imperial family.
Ray asked tremblingly.
“…remember who?”
[Resina’s memory.]
A person who remains in the memories of the elves who were active 600 years ago.
Of course, there was no real ‘person’.
If the person in Resina’s memory and the person Aptel points to are really the same person…
“Are you an elf?”
[no.]
“…A demon?”
[That’s right.]
“Oh, it’s getting more and more Taesan.”
While Ray frowned.
Aptel retrieved data from the obelisk and inquired about the identity of a human wearing a white robe next to the imperial family.
The opponent’s name is Relief.
He was from the Kingdom of Esilon, and was the chief wizard of the White Magic Tower and a genius who achieved high achievements in a short period of time.
Of course, it was clear that it was an identity for camouflage.
[The original race is unknown, but it is an extremely dangerous demon. Part of the body can be reconstructed into any shape you want, and you can use magic that goes beyond reason, and you are good at deception. Two kingdoms almost annihilated because of that demon 600 years ago.]
“Wait a minute.”
Rei used her powers to look at the person with the status of ‘Relief’.
At first, it looked no different from other humans, but when his powers were manifested powerfully, the figure of Relief was peeled off in two layers and reflected.
After seeing something covered in a shell, Rei turned off her powers.
“You’re not human. But you said you could change the shape, so you brought the same face you used 600 years ago?”
[Not as it is. To be precise, only the lower tube part matches the data in memory ‘exactly’.]
“…you were lucky.”
It seems that only the upper part of the lower tube was re-sculpted because it was bothersome when changing the face.
Even then, no one would have noticed that I was the same person. Moreover, there was a 600-year hiatus.
However, Aftel caught the tail because it was possible to accurately contrast the fully preserved Resina’s memory data with that face.
[I missed it 600 years ago. I hope I can catch you and kill you this time.]
“So, how strong is that?”
[It is comparable to a Lord-class within the Demon Sword.]
Rey wrinkled her brow as she could, and looked back at Aftel.
Aftel added an explanation.
[Outside the magic realm, the maximum is 20% of the power, but considering the current time, it may be possible to achieve even 50% in a short period of time.]
“…So, 600 years ago, you were comparable to the Lord class?”
Aftel, who understood Rey’s intentions, shook his head.
[Getting infinite time against the law does not mean that you can become infinitely strong. Individuals who have embraced the power of the devil and evolved into demons, without even knowing it, are buried in their ego and eventually fall into the level of a demon doll whose behavior is programmed. Therefore, it would not have made significant progress compared to the past.]
“…”
Ray opened her mouth after contemplating.
“Luna.”
Luna, who was waiting right behind her, took a step closer.
Ray whispered in the lowest voice possible, bringing Jenkinson and Mohammed also closer together.
“Luna, for now we’ll surrender and be captured. But if the enemies are about to execute any of us, move right away. Summon all the spirits and put the most powerful magic available on their command line. I’ll solve it.”
If you fight like this right now, you will be surrounded and beaten by magic.
So, pretending to surrender and then counterattacking to induce a melee could be a good strategy.
However, what Rey was really aiming for was not a counterattack here.
“If they don’t execute us right away and take us to the Warpgate, then you’ll have to do something else.”
After that, Rey, who finished the detailed explanation, handed the icosahedral jewel-like object that Ernst had given to Luna’s hand.
“Please.”
Luna hesitated and nodded.
Jenkinson asked, pretending to keep his surroundings in check, without even looking at Ray.
“Will things work out that way?”
“We have to make it work out.”
A number of defense forces were deployed at the warp gate.
So, if you drag the enemies to the warp gate, they will naturally lock you in.
If the enemy could not use only the warp gate, he could cut off the escape route and annihilate the enemies with the help of the defensive forces.
It was a much more favorable condition than to crash into this place where the electric power car was striking.
Of course, if things didn’t work out as expected, I had to draw the sword right away.
Rey gathered her thoughts once more and shouted at Shay as she confronts her enemies.
“Stop putting down your sword and let’s surrender!!”
“…!! Stop talking nonsense!!”
“You’re many times more numerous than us, how do you fight?! You want to be killed here? Just surrender!!”
“That nerd bastard…!!”
“Because we surrender!”
Ray shouted out loud, and there was a commotion around him.
Shay vomited his anger, but Spera stopped him.
“Shay, put down your sword. The power difference is too big.”
“Lady, I am ready to give my life to protect you, and that is my honor. Please do not tarnish my honor.”
“Shay, I beg you. If you don’t want me to live with guilt for you for the rest of my life, lay down your sword for me.”
At Spera’s continued persuasion, Shay trembled and threw away the sword.
Starting with Shay, everyone threw away their weapons one by one.
When surrender was confirmed, the enemies approached.
Ray raised the tension as high as possible.

No one knew whether the enemies would wield their swords at all costs to those who surrendered.
The moment that happened, Rey was planning to pull out Moros and strike the head of the royal family.
“…”
amidst the tension.
Enemies began to seize those who had surrendered in sequence.
Arrests started from the knights judged to be the most threatening.
After disarming all the knights, the enemies filled them with thick and heavy tools on their wrists and necks.
The tools filled by the knights were made of special metal that explodes when reacting with mana, and when the knight wearing the tools activates mana, the molds are made to explode inward.
It was impossible to kill the knights when they reached the grade level, but it was absolutely impossible for the knights who suffered major injuries to their wrists and necks to continue a proper battle.
After the captivity of the knights who were wearing metal armor was finished.
Most of the remaining people were bound with something like rope.
Ray muttered to himself.
‘You’re lucky.’
The enemies actively inspected Spera’s party.
They tightly bound them, retrieved their weapons, stored them separately, and searched the wagons carefully.
On the other hand, the Count Phillips and his party were rustic from the level of the carriage to the way they looked, which made the enemies vigilant.
At first glance, young girls such as Yohana and Luna were captured relatively lightly, and Rey’s sword was mixed with other cheap weapons and moved roughly in one place.
Rei was relieved that he and Johanna had swapped their swords in advance.

No one knew the true value of the sword hidden in the cheap scabbard because he had not pulled out the sword.
The situation was quickly settled.
When the captivity was over, Brantley, the imperial family who would have led this situation, approached Spera.
“You are Spera Frieslan.”
“…”
“Be quiet. If you do it in vain, I’ll cut off your limbs and take you away.”
Brantley grinned as he looked around the battlefield that had ended without a drop of blood.
“All I really need is you… What about the rest?”
It is said that there is nothing wrong with bringing even the officials of the Frislan family, but the people of the Counts of Phillips really had no place to use them.
“Should I dispose of these here?”
Yes, that was reasonable.
Ray also agreed, so he prepared for a sharp rotation of the core and circles.
‘Pull out Moros, and hit that guy on the neck first.’
At the moment when a cold life began to flow in Rei’s eyes, Spera opened her mouth.
“Wait a minute.”
“…what is it?”
Spera turned her head to the side of Brantley and looked at Rey.
Rey was a little scared that Spera would say that we don’t know each other by now.

Now, in the eyes of others, Rey had to be acquainted with Spera in order to live .
