Chapter 143 – Duties of Nobility
Large monsters appear.
The news rang out from a soldier who rushed into the command post late at night after the first round.
“What?”
“That, that… !”
The soldier in front of him stuttered his words with a blue face.
Sorry.
Recovers the mana that spreads around.
“Heo-eok, hee-eok!”
“Hey, bring me some water.”
“Yes!”
They gave water to a soldier who was about to choke to death.
Oh my. How in a hurry would you drink like that? I’m sorry.
“Fat… Gulp! Consideration… Gulp!”
“Yes, yes. Are you calm?”
“Coke! Yes, Coke! Coke! Yes! Gee, calm down! The water is done!”
It’s true that I’ve come a long way No matter how you say it, it will be a difficult road.
Tsk tsk. As he clicked his tongue, he picked up the glass that had fallen on the floor and threw it away.
“So, what?”
“It is said that a large-scale monster has appeared.”
… Fuck.
Followed
Large-scale monsters. Even if its main habitat is the Great Mountains, it does not mean that it does not exist elsewhere.
This vast continent.
It doesn’t dominate all of them.
At most a major city and its vicinity.
Merchants didn’t just hire adventurers to accompany them.
Even more so in the southern provinces.
It is called the land of peace, but even here there are rough lands, and there are forbidden areas.
What matters is where you appear.
“Where?”
“This is Larson Manor. The observer said it was near Rhinoe. That’s all I’ve been contacted!”
… It’s a bit suspicious.
Be sure to be there at this time. One of the roads monitored by Rhinoe.
At that place, at this timing, even the news that they had moved a while ago, suddenly a large-scale monster?
It’s not like it wasn’t a coincidence, but…
Knock knock.
He tapped the desk with his fingers and fell into trouble.
The Yeongji War isn’t over yet.
If you knew it would be like this… Can’t say
We can’t just throw away our precious talents.
“Has there been any contact from Triana?”
“Yeah. Not yet. When I heard the news of the monsters appearing, I ran right away.”
Write.
I should make a walkie-talkie soon.
For me living in a modern society, it is very difficult not being able to communicate over a long distance.
But…
“I get it.”
“Are you okay?”
Isabelle, who was next to her, said, hiding her concern behind her words.
“You have to trust her.”
Triana Müller is also an aristocrat.
She cannot be pampered and nurtured like a flower in a studio forever.
She wouldn’t want that in the first place.
Nobility is such a person.
Even if the woman you love is in a dangerous place.
She has to make a sober choice.
“We are focusing on Yeongji War. And the observation of large-scale monsters is given top priority. Isabelle. Send one knight to Müller. Increase the number of observers immediately.”
“All right!”
Yes.
A nobleman had to do that.
So do your best, Triana.
* * *
It devours the earth, devours trees, and devours stones.
Plants and animals were also swallowed.
“Run away!”
Instinctively withdrew.
It had to be. Discomfort that makes you sick to the stomach.
“Miss Sasha!”
“Yeah…”
Sasha looked at the monster with trembling eyes.
It’s bigger than the being she saw, and the magic she feels is incomparable, but the unpleasant magic she feels from that thing is certain.
“It is similar to the test subject I saw then… !”
“All right… ! Power! Back off!”
Judging by the wriggling movements, it was not yet in a perfect state.
At least I had to block this guy until all my allies ran away.
“… Can I stop it?”
I looked at the guy who kept wriggling and growing his body.
The ominous magic power is getting stronger.
… I must attack now.
Match!
The sound of applause echoes. The shield, now nine, soared into the sky.
He still has 9 shields as his limit.
Triana lowered her shield, hoisting it over a chunk of her flesh.
No, I was trying to take a picture.
Fighting!
“The shield… !”
The advantage of materialized mana is that it is difficult to interfere.
It had its pros and cons, but unlike the twin petals, it attacked with the judgment that even if it received the power of nullifying magic, the effect would be less.
However, the shield shot in the air lost its power as it approached the monster and bounced off with only a light sound.
Booooong!
“Kuk!”
Immediately, she concentrated her magical energy and summoned a shield while barely holding on to control. The shield that started the attack barely maintained its shape as it swayed.
‘To the extent that a shield once materialized loses its shape!’
Triana’s gaze turned to the monster.
“Kkeuk!”
Even in that short time, the monster is starting to grow its body.
I felt the unpleasant mana and the waves getting stronger.
“If this doesn’t work… !”
Thump thump thump!
After summoning her shield, her magic power is temporarily retrieved.
The weakly falling shield fell like building a wall around Triana.
And after she had only the bare minimum of strength left to hold her form, Triana spread her hands forward.
“Haaaaa!”
It compresses the indigo magic that gathers at her fingertips.
The ominous mana he felt surpassed the power of the magic nullifier measured by Müller.
It’s getting bigger At least the current state of magic is kept to a minimum, and it is a medium-sized class. If it gets bigger…
‘Before that happens!’
Kiyiying!
The maximum power that Triana can produce is gathered at her fingertips.
Mana released to the limit. Triana concentrated on her as much as she could, feeling a stream of her bright red blood flow from her mouth.
What I am reminded of is the extreme attack power that pierces everything.
‘In other words, like the edge of a shield!’
“Goaaaaa!”
Geeeee
The end of the huge magic power that was strongly united became sharper and sharper. Its shape is refined with the single thought of penetrating the barrier that nullifies magic to the limit.
And it shoots!
Aaaaang!
The recoil sent Triana’s body flying backwards, and the trees and rocks around her were crushed.
“Ha, ha, ugh… !”
Triana grabbed her trembling arm.
Her magical power beyond her limit crushed her arm with just the recoil.
She looked straight ahead at her as she began to heal, holding her arm with a little bit of magic power.
Oh oh oh… !
I could see the shadows creeping up over the dust-covered area.
“You couldn’t catch it with that blow?”
Triana immediately looked around her.
It was seen that the allies had captured Purple’s members and withdrew.
“Miss Triana! We must back down too!”
“But…”
Triana’s eyes fluttered at Niña’s words.
The reason the trianas here were dispatched was for clear evidence.
Especially when the lord is away from the manor, the act of using her hand is dishonorable.
Evidence of cooperation with the red blood there.
Above all, even the medicines that his lord, Leoric Franz, personally informed the kingdom.
“You can’t miss that one!”
“But it is already unstoppable. The mana I felt reached almost that of a nobleman.”
“Then I can deal with you! I am also a noble! I can do my nobility duty!”
“Miss Triana!”
It’s not just them.
From the original Müller around her to her men who were beneath her, they dried her up.
But!
“I can’t disappoint Leo-sama’s expectations!”
Yes. It is not just an ornament.
As a nobleman, as a legitimate subordinate, this is the first dispatch mission.
No matter how strong your opponent is, there is a big difference between accomplishing a mission and failing.
“I don’t think Leo-sama wants you to overdo it, Triana-sama!”
“… But!”
I know what Niña said.
That he doesn’t care about that.
But there are eyes around. It wasn’t just Leo-sama that she wanted to be acknowledged.
It was not easy to step down if it was to continue to maintain the already ruined Müller family.
“Ha!”
Blows away dust with the wind generated by magic power.
“Please leave first.”
“Miss Triana!”
A huge lump of flesh appeared.
He could see that the wound from the previous attack was regenerating.
Magical power was consumed to heal, but magic did not change much compared to the size.
“It’s not that the blow a while ago was ineffective. I will try to block it as much as possible. Gentlemen, take prisoners and return to Müller first.”
“… Then this!”
At Triana’s words, Niña seemed unable to remove the necklace from her own neck.
A jewel that appears with a clattering sound. The mighty magic power that lies dormant there.
“It will help!”
“… Thank you!”
She looked at the monster in front of her eyes, clutching the necklace she had received from Niña.
“Kreuk! Kkeuk! Krrrr!”
It wriggles and increases its size, but from the aristocratic level, size doesn’t matter. What matters is magic attribute.
His magic power was greatly reduced.
It wasn’t that Triana’s attack didn’t work.
“If that’s the case, a stronger blow is enough! Going!”
Match!
Triana’s palms met, and her claps echoed through the forest.
Whoops!
The magic crystals embedded in the bracelet on Triana’s wrist and the necklace in her hand shined and flowed into her triana.
‘Leo-sama!’
Leoric Franz.
Incarnation of the sun.
Like the warm sunlight felt under a clear sky. Warm magic flowed from the magic crystal and began to permeate her body.
Broken bones cling to each other and consumed magic power is restored.
“Use Leo-sama’s magical power as a power source!”
And that’s not all.
Triana’s hands met once again.
Fluffy, the shield that floated in the air began to cling to it.
Like a gigantic battery, they pointed their shields vertically at the monster.
Match!
Once again, the hands clap.
What I’m making this time is bullets.
Another shield appeared, laid sharp edge forward, and set it on top of the turret.
Kiyiing!
The magic stone burns.
Kiyiying!
Rattle!
The materialized shield trembles. Müller’s magical power suppresses the distorted shape as much as possible as if it cannot withstand the injected energy.
At the same time, the shields that have turned into cannons aim at the gigantic monster unshakably, while at the same time suppressing it with their bodies.
‘Leo-sama said it.’
The sun is said to be the best source of energy in the world.
Kwajik!
The moment the magic stone releases its mana as if it were burning.
As a signal, the shield that had been swinging on top of the cannon disappeared.
No.
Aaaaagh!
Shot out!
