The ghost who cried

“Unlike you, I didn’t have a talent for magic, so I can’t use the water attribute as well as other wizards. I can manipulate the water that already exists, but I can’t create new water with my magic.”

“…………”

“So instead, I took my ability to manipulate water to the extreme. Now I can manipulate the water in my enemies’ bodies to make them explode, and I can even turn my own blood into swords like this.”

“A bloody sword, eh……?”

Justy turns his attention to Angelica’s shoulder. There is a cut on her shoulder that looks like it was made with a blade, staining her plainly designed dress red.

It seems that she cut herself and made the sword with the blood that flowed from the cut.

“Don’t think it’s just blood. You may not know it, but there’s a lot of iron in our blood.　You can manipulate it…. to your advantage”

Angelica flips her bloody sword. The remnants of the stone wall, which haven’t broken, were cut into pieces like paper.

“This sword vibrates in small increments by magical manipulation. It can easily cut through stone and steel. And because it’s made of water, it can even change shape like this.”

“……!”

A chill went down his spine and Justy jumped out in reflex.

The sword in Angelica’s hand plunged into the ground where Justy had been with a snake bite motion. The ground was gouged wide open by the thin, long, stretched blade of blood.

The sword, made from Angelica’s blood, is flexible and extendable. The sword can be extended to attack enemies at a distance.

“I see…….You slashed my back with that sword. I see you’ve been saving your trump card for some time now.”

Muttering with a shiver, Justy tightened his grip on the spear in his hand.

“Captain……!”

“Stay back! No one else is allowed to touch her!”

Justy sharply ordered the soldiers who had gathered.

With Angelica now a half-hearted attempt at rescue would only serve to slow him down. It is always much better to deal with one person than to add to the number of useless deaths.

“I’m not going to be rude to you, Angelica, I’m not going to take you alive anymore. I will do everything in my power to kill you.”

“I have always intended to do so. It’s too late to be serious.”

The light in Angelica’s right eye is as deadly as she became insane. Justy looks straight back at it and kneads the magic in his body.

“If we are lucky, His Highness Raidorl may hear the sound of the battle and come running to us…… No, I won’t hold my breath. We’ll just kill each other.”

Justy decided that he was ready to kill Angelica for real.

“Pfft, Ku,ku,ku…….”

Angelica also read Justy’s seriousness.

She had a ghostly expression on her face, and the corners of her mouth lifted up in a spine-chilling smile. 

With blood on their hands, they prepared for the moment when they would give it their all.

The soldiers around him are watching, breathless, as the fight to the death is about to begin.

“………..”

“……….”

They stared at each other for a very short time and made their move.

“Wait!”

But the voice of restraint came from an unexpected source.

A young boy stepped forward from the crowd of soldiers who were watching the battle and intervened.

“Sven……!”

Justy calls out the boy’s name.

It was Sven Arbeil who interrupted their fight, the military commander of Raidorl’s army.

“The town of Caltris has already been surrendered to His Highness Raidorl and is under his control!　Know that any private fighting in this town is a disgrace to His Highness!”

“Stop it, Sven!　Angelica is in no condition to talk to you right now……”

“Sven Arbeil……!”

Justy tried to hold Sven back, but Angelica moved faster than that.

She kicked the ground with her right foot and used it as a shield to get to Sven, who was standing in front of Justy.

“……!”

Sven’s eyes widened.

In an instant, Angelica moved in front of the boy and flipped her blood sword with her right hand.

“Sven, ……!”

Justy shouted.

A high-frequency blade of blood, cutting through steel, swung down at the boy.

“Sven……! I’m glad you’re alive!”

Angelica threw the dagger with the hilt of the blood blade and embraced Sven head-on.

She cradled the boy’s head in her ample bosom and embraced him with both hands.

“Ha….?”

The spear spills out of Justy’s hand and rolls across the ground with a clank.

Angelica hugs Sven even tighter, ignoring the person who she fought.

“Oh …… Sven!　Thank God you’re alive!”

“Heh, ah ……, uh, Angelica?”

“I heard that the Earls of Arbeil were destroyed, but I’m so glad that you’re still alive!　What a wonderful day this is!”

Where was the bloodthirsty fury of just a few minutes ago? Angelica is crying from her safe right eye.

Her motherly face was the very woman Justy had once admired, and he forgot all about the situation.

Raidorl, who has heard the commotion and emerges from the house. Behind him are Darren and his bodyguards.

“….. Hey, Justy. What is this situation? What’s our shorty doing?”

“So, Your Highness…..what can I say about this,……?”

Justy is stunned by his lord’s questioning. While bleeding from a cut on his back.

And, for some reason, the boy is being held by a woman with bandages on her face, and she is crying and wailing.

It would have taken the wisest man on the continent to have been able to predict the exact situation.

“I wonder if this isn’t the scene of an affair?”

Brad Ilkas, who had caught up with them a little later, murmured.

“We’re newlyweds and I’ve already been cheated on by a young man. It has opened my eyes to a new sexuality. I don’t have that wide of a strike zone myself.”

The fox’s voice sounded seriously troubled, which was unusual for an aloof fox.

“Thank God you’re okay……!Sven …… thank god ……!”

Angelica Ilkas cried like a child as the men looked on in disbelief.
