Chapter 246. (3) “Then, wouldn’t it be okay
if I didn’t use an aura? What the hell did you train your sword for, Genga!”
“I tried that too.”
However, it seemed to not only parry ordinary swords, but also bounce back soldiers' spears.
The soldiers fell, spurting blood, astonished that the spears they had stabbed at the enemy had instead pierced their stomachs.
All attacks do not work.
I can't attack, so there's no way to get my hands on it.
In the end, the Paladins couldn't even get a scratch and had to give an urgent order to retreat.
The aristocrats, who did not believe his report at first, eventually had to accept it as other knights also testified about it.
“How is that possible?”
“Isn’t that a trick?”
The nobles tried to discuss countermeasures, but even that was not feasible.
I didn't even think of the sharp number of them.
It's just embarrassing to ask his aides.
Armor and shields that deflect any attack in the first place!
never heard of
“Magic! How about attacking with magic!”
“Drink that horrible sound.”
Another noble reproached the opinion.
Hanilton agreed.
“What will happen if even the magic is repulsed? We must not launch an attack hastily.”
At his point, everyone shuddered as if giving goosebumps.
Attack magic differs in power, but when multiple magicians cast it, it is powerful enough to annihilate a large army at once.
What if the fire returns to them intact?
My shoulders trembled.
It gave me goosebumps.
Only then did everyone have to admit that it was a foolish suggestion.
‘It's a big deal.... What if they attack instead of defending?'
Hanilton broke into a cold sweat from the bad feeling.
Due to the existence of Paladins who already bounced off anything, further siege was impossible.
If so, will they really stand still?
“omg'?!”
....It was then that I felt sorry for myself.
“hurry! Hurry up and postpone the display!”
“What do you mean! How could I have met Her Highness after retreating from here?”
At the insistence of retreat, the nobles frowned and spoke reluctantly, but there was no time to persuade them one by one.
“It doesn't matter now! As it is, is it already too late?
When Henryton was about to shout urgently, a soldier hurriedly entered the barracks and announced an urgent message.
“It's a surprise!”
Oops, something has come! Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com
I felt the blood go away.
“Those who come ambush... are the Holy Knights!”
Upon hearing the report, the aristocrats panicked and panicked.
They managed to manage the confusion and ordered a retreat, but it was already after they had suffered significant damage from the surprise attack.
In the end, the advance party of the Ernesia Kingdom had to give up the attack on the border fortress first and postpone the display.
after.
The rearguard arrived at the front.
When Arel arrived, all he saw was the appearance of the vanguard, who had barely retreated in a mess.
He was silent for a moment, then rubbed his forehead and murmured.
“Yes, you made an accident!”
“...now I will summarize what I have heard.”
Did you hear the really absurd news as soon as you arrived?
I deliberately erased the smile from my face and glared at the trembling nobles who knelt in front of me.
They were at a loss as to what to do, unable to come up with even the slightest excuse.
“Before I even came, you guys attacked first by yourself. And retreated without preparing a countermeasure against the strange power of the Holy Kingdom? Even after losing close to a third of the troops?”
I summarized the report I received as follows.
It is truly absurd to witness the miracle of 150,000 advance corps becoming 100,000 in an instant.
As I stared at them, each nobleman lowered his head.
For some reason, something feels dirty.
“Let’s try it.”
When he said that he had to see the phenomenon himself, another knight drew his sword and cautiously stepped out to demonstrate it himself.
I know it will bounce, so I have to be careful.
Everyone on my side was also nervous in preparation for an emergency.
“Take it as lightly as possible. All you have to do is watch it bounce.”
“yes.”
The knight nodded and applied a faint aura to the sword.
“Suck!”
For now, he showed only the most monotonous swinging of his sword.
It was because it would be difficult if an accident occurred after performing complex swordsmanship.
The moment the aura-clad sword touches the shield.
“Ugh?!”
The knight hurriedly leaned back.
As soon as it touched, the sword energy was immediately reflected and bounced off.
The sword energy that bounced off flew back and tore apart a poor tent.
“oh! It bounces off really neatly.”
Unlike me, who applauded and watched with interest, the complexion of the aristocrats was not very good.
It must be gloomy because there is no countermeasure on how to do that.
“...Next is magic. You haven't tried magic, have you?”
“Yes, I will buy it. But...
who is the magic...?”
When Henilton looked around, the wizards in other territories were embarrassed and couldn't come out easily.
Reluctantly, I blinked and Dia stepped forward without a word.
“Are you okay?”
“No problem.”
Dia answered casually, then stood in front of the shield and chanted a spell.
Then, the magic of the weakest power was fired.
The moment a small fireball flies and hits.
I felt the wave-like wave from the shield, and it was reflected in the same way.
Dia used a different defense magic almost simultaneously to block it.
Apart from the effect of the shield, some wizards burst into admiration.
“Good work Dia. How do you see it?”
“Yes, the magic is returning with full reflection. It's just...
“Hmm?”
“From my point of view, it seems that the mana that makes up the attack magic turns around and returns as it is.”
Dia reported exactly what she felt.
Actually, I felt the same way.
The moment he felt the wave of courtesy, the magical mana that Dia shot went around the shield intact and was reflected as it was.
“In other words... fundamentally changing the trajectory of mana itself?”
“Yes, I guess so. To be precise, it seems to purely disassemble and reconstruct the phenomenon of mana or shock and shoot it in the opposite orbit...
Then what about that?”
Dia, as if guessing something, came up with an opinion.
“You want to say that?”
“yes.”
What she is talking about is the strange tool that prevented the proper use of magic and aura that had been circulating in the previous manor.
“In other words... is it the finished version?”
Compared to this shield, the effect is similar, but its principle and precision are completely different.
Well, it must have been that the unfinished version was spread on purpose in order to come up with an erratic countermeasure.
“I never thought it would be completed like this...
“What I am concerned about is that it is not magic.”
Dia rarely frowns in embarrassment.
Although this absurd phenomenon occurred, it was not an effect of magic.
“No magic... nothing, what the hell is that... I do not know.”
“Hmm... let’s find out about that slowly. For now, I know about that shield. I'll think about what to do next.”
First of all, I have something to think about, so I told everyone else to leave.
And I was alone in my quiet thoughts.
First of all, the shield is lying on the table because it needs to be examined further.
The reason I'm worried now is because of this bastard's shield.
