Book 7: Chapter 134: Magic Sword ~ 42

The pillar of light that had appeared at the Ares exit of the valley of Horwood for a mile in diameter suddenly disappeared, just as it did when it appeared. The grass and trees within the area where the pillar of light had stood had completely withered away, and the difference between the area and the surrounding area was clear. The color of the soil has changed as if the small amount of magic power contained in the soil has sublimated. The area where this pillar of light used to be will probably become a barren space where no grass or trees will grow for several hundred years to come.

The circle has disappeared!?

Rico, who had been running along the pillar of light, suddenly stopped dead in her tracks at the sudden change. There were only two practitioners who had been eliminated so far. Perhaps Solor, who had escaped from her predicament, had taken out the other practitioners, and as a result, the circle had vanished?

There is a subtle sense of disappointment that Rico could not save Satoru and the others with her own hands, but in any case, if the magic circle has been lifted, then it is a very significant event. Now Leia, Minerva, and Liz would be safe. Rico took a sigh of relief, saw someone flying toward her, braced herself, and immediately released her tension.

Solor!

The figure was a fellow who had taken on four swordsmen to get Rico out of the circle. Her appearance was unchanged from the moment they parted. That wound must have been fine, too, because no blood was spurting from the wound he had sustained on her shoulder.

Solor also recognized Rico's appearance, stopped her Flight, and landed beside her. Although her voice and expression did not show it, she seemed to be relieved that Rico was safe.

Are you safe, Rico-sama?

Sort of. This circle was it, is it Solor who crushed those practitioners?

Solor shook her head from side to side. "Eh?" Rico shouted unexpectedly.

I just took care of those four who got in the way. Isn't it, Rico-sama?

I took out two of them, but the circle didn't disappear right after I took them out.

Rico and Solor looked at each other. Both of them thought that their fellow had finished off the practitioners. But they were wrong. Something happened that was not in their control that's all they can think of.ViiSiit novelbi/n(.)c/(o)m for latest novels

This type of circle is controlled by the main practitioner after it is activated. Probably, something must have happened to the main practitioner. What shall we do, Rico-sama?

Rico thought quickly in response to Solor's question. In whatever form, the circle is ritual sorcery. It would take a lot of magic power to cover such a large area. Since she had already killed two of the practitioners who seemed to have participated in the ritual, it was highly unlikely that they would be able to set up the circle again. If so.

...... Let's hurry back to Satoru. If the circle has indeed disappeared, then I don't think there's a problem.

Rico and Solor are not the only ones who have confirmed the disappearance of the circle. Sheryl and the others, who were watching from a distance outside, of course, saw the scene as well.

The circle has ...... disappeared!?

It is true that the sword sucks magic power. It returns that magic power to the user, so the user can continue to maintain a high level of skill without worrying about the decrease in magic power.

But the secondary effects are different.

For example, in the Scorching Sun (Flame Road) that Leia unleashed against the army, that sword can absorb the flames generated by the magic power, but it does not absorb the tremendous heat together with it. Although the magic power provided by the Holy Sword increased her recovery power, she would probably suffer enough damage to be burned badly. And Leia Lwenstadt is aware of this.

Gritting her teeth, Isolde looks out for both Leia and Satoru. Her left shoulder is still dislocated and useless. The pain is being treated with art, but it's too much for her...

And.

Leia. Don't interfere. And don't look at her. Protect Minerva and Liz.

Satoru's voice rang out. Leia regained her composure at the sound of that voice and turned her head in the wrong direction.

......Understood

Minerva, Liz, you do the same. Don't look at her, don't interferer with us.

Both Liz and Minerva nodded and looked in the same direction as Leia. The occasional glances in this direction would be unavoidable, but if they were not interrupted, that would be appreciated but Isolde was burning herself with rage.

Gughh......You've really underestimated me!

It's true that she's been pushed this far.

But Satoru brushed off Isolde's gnashing of teeth with a single snort.

That's not right. I'm just paying my respects to you for not messing with them.

To be honest, if the attack had been directed at Leia, Minerva, or Liz even a little, Satoru would not have been able to fight so comfortably. If the attack had been directed at Leia and the ward had been broken, Minerva and Liz would have had their magic power sucked out of them, and there is no doubt that they would not have survived. Leia was concentrating on her art, and thus looking away from the battlefield. Even Satoru could not have been able to overcome all the attacks directed at Leia and the others. Although he could have afforded to do so, he still suffered minor wounds.

However, as she had promised in her name, Isolde did not touch Satoru's magical slaves.

Her own sense of beauty may be there, but it also helped.

If she is also a samurai, Satoru is also a descendant of samurai.

I don't want to be the only one who is a coward. Now, come on! Let's get this over with!
