59 Episode 59: Sky Knights and the Wings of the Sky Dance

"" "" "To, man came down from the sky without wings - whoa!?" ""

It was us who came to the skyman's village, but for some reason I was surprised by the skymen.

"Yeah, it's nothing. It's normal enough to fly, right? You're flying down into the sky, too."

"No, that's true, but you were flying without wings."

My uncle, an astronaut who was nearby, points out as he points to his back in a hip-pulled manner.

"Yeah, with flying magic, you can fly about empty."

"Hih, flying magic!? You mean the lost ancient magic!?"

When I hear of flying magic, the place becomes noisy.

Or the lost ancient magic?

Funny, the astronauts are supposed to fly in the sky with feathers on their backs, but I'm surprised to hear these people have no feathers on their backs, and what magic they've lost their flying magic.

If you can fly the sky on your own, you won't have to be surprised by the magic of flying.

"Maybe you guys can't fly?

Maybe, but are these people and the astronauts of another race?

"And there's no way you can fly. We're not like the knights."

After all, apparently, an astronaut refers to feathered people called knights.

But then what the hell are these people?

"Uh, who are you guys? Are you different from an astronaut?

"Who the hell are we? We're astronauts. Who the hell are you?!? I've never seen anyone like you on this empty island!?"

Is that it? Are these people Skywalkers, too? But you don't have wings, do you?

What the hell is this all about?

"I've never seen anyone use flying magic before. Could you be from another empty island?

Apparently, he thinks we're astronauts from another empty island.

Well, I wonder what you answered.

"No, we're adventurers from the ground. I came looking for the sky continent."

I didn't have to keep it a secret, so I decided to tell the villagers what I was trying to do.

"Sky...... continent?

Hmm, dull response, and was this a waste of time?

I'm not likely to get any information on the sky continent, and here's another question: Do you want to hear about the astronauts?

I wonder why you don't have feathers, why you are so cautious when this village is a skyman's village, and why the skyman is a skyman in the first place.

"It's this village, by the way..."

And when I tried to ask about the village, the villagers looked up into the sky and raised their voices.

"Here we are, my knight!

When we looked over the sky in the same way, the knights who had grown the feathers we saw in the town on earth the other day came down from the sky.

"Knights, those are them."

The village's inhabitant grandfather is pointing at us and talking to the knight.

Could this have been reported?

"Those two! You've illegally entered our Sky Nation! What are you doing here?

The knights' commander-like man interrogates us.

Hey, you look like you're being treated like a clandestine immigrant, so let's just say I'm honest here.

"Hello, Skyman. My name is Rex, and this is my fellow traveler, Liliera. We came to this land looking for the sky continent. The sky continent is supposed to be around here, don't you know?

But the commander of the knight said with his neck tied to our words.

"You think it's a sky continent? It was crushed and doomed long ago!

"Yes!?"

Such an idiot!? There is no way that that ridiculously big sky continent can be crushed so easily.

Or what would you do to crush that big continent!?

"Anyone living in this sky knows the legend that this sky island floating in the sky is a remnant of the former sky continent! Boring excuses don't work!

"Yes!? An empty island is a remnant of the sky continent!? What do you mean?!?"

What the hell is going on here?

But the knights don't answer that, they put up a spear and surround us.

The tip of the spear erected by the knights is filled with light, presumably a magic item that emits the attack magic of light attributes.

"If you tell the truth, you will be extinguished by the light of judgment emitted from the holy spear. You're more spies than any other empty island, aren't you?

Why would I do that?

"No, we're from the ground."

"I told you not to lie. There is no reason for an inferior earthly man without wings to ascend into the sky. The only people who can come here are the people of empty islands with the same power as us!

Hmm, apparently these people don't believe us because they don't know we can use flying magic.

Then I'll actually fly through the sky to prove it and show it to you.

"I'm really from the ground. I have proof."

"Evidence?

"Yeah, see, this is how I flew through the sky with flying magic."

I activate the magic of flight and float into the universe.

"Stupid!? He said he flew through the sky without even using his feathers!?"

"Hey? You're flying, right?

"Now, you guys, you're flying with a feather force different from ours! What the hell are you using!

Hmm? I wonder why you don't believe in flying magic.

I mean, use it? Aren't you flying with your own feathers?

"So it's flying magic."

"I was doomed long ago by those who could use flying magic! Yes, it has to be!

Does it have to be? So it's inconvenient to have someone who can use flying magic?

I don't know what it is, but there seems to be some complicated circumstances.

"Get these people! You can kill me if you want to resist!

Wow, you're motivated.

"What are we going to do? Fight or get caught quietly?

Liliera asks me if I have a policy to fight.

"Um, because I don't think you'll believe this story if you get caught quietly. Shall we shake off the burning powder that will come down here?"

They'll come after you even if you run away.

"Right. Obviously they don't make sense."

When we lay our weapons on our backs, we burst into the knights in front of us.

"Resist! I don't care. Kill him!

"Keep your head down!

"Yes!"

Liliera behind my words. [M]

All of a sudden, we bowed our heads and crouched, and the knights surrounded by spears attacked each other at the front.

It is attacked by a companion and its extravagant armor is heavily damaged.

"Captain, you will hit your side!

"Fool! Attack the enemy!

Well, this naturally happens if you surround it from all directions.

I mean, I was surprised because I really put it on my side.

I thought so, but don't these knights have too little experience in action?

Mr. Liliera saw their siege, so much so that he immediately understood my intentions and invited the knights to fight each other.

"Ha!!"

When I jump into the knights' nostalgia at a rate enhanced by physical strengthening magic, I destroy the opponent's armor and weapon, then inflict a degree of blow that won't kill them with a sword pattern and disable them.

"Because!"

Unlike me, Mr. Liliera relentlessly attacks the knights.

While paying the opponent's spear with his own, repeat the shallow attack into small pieces to strike the gap in the enemy's gear.

"Wow!"

"Stupid! That our weapons won't work!?"

The knights seem surprised, but I think this isn't about the performance of the weapon, it's about the experience in action.

Honestly, it's not smelly enough.

This is how we trump the knights one after the other.

"Oh, no... our king chose the Knights of the Skies..."

"All I need is a spear of light."

One of the knights shines a spear light at us over and over again.

"Spear of Light?

I don't care if you hit me all the time, I don't care how you look at it. It's not that powerful.

I try to intercept the light of a knight's spear with my own magic.

"Photon Lancer!"

The light of the knight's spear was easily destroyed by my magic and, on the contrary, it was destroyed at once without being offset in a busy fashion to the spear that the opponent had.

"It was brittle than I expected."

"If so, stupid!? That the spear of light was destroyed!?"

"Ah, yes! This is the weapon the king gave you!?"

"Um, that magic item isn't very strong, is it? Up below, at best, to a certain degree of performance, right?

"Hey, what is it!?"

"The power of the weapon we gave the king is above us!?"

The knights look stunned at their weapons.

"Cu!"

And so when Mohmov jumped on one of the knights I had just defeated, he bit that feather.

Come on, you can't eat those people.

"Pep!"

But for some reason, Mohmov stopped spitting at the knight's feathers and threw them away.

"Is that it?"

Did the skyman's feathers taste bad?

Either way, we turned back the knights lightly enough to clap them out.

It was a little unexpectedly weak.

"Oh, such an idiot..."

"This is the skyman? I don't know what to expect."

Mr. Liliera is also more vulnerable and perplexed than expected by the Heavenly Knight.

"Kiki, the knight's been hit!"

And the villagers watching the battle fled in a hurry because the knight had been hit.

"Oh, my God, they're all gone."

Well, there's no reason for us to resent the villagers, so we don't have to go after them on purpose.

"Mr. Liliera, were you okay?

"Yeah, we're done here."

"Exactly, brilliant"

I complimented Liliera on her battle, but Liliera looks delicate.

"I'm glad you're complimenting me, but I wouldn't be very happy to let go if I watched you fight."

Oh, no, it's still a stoic way of thinking.

I wish I was a little more comfortable.

"Well, let's talk to them."

I didn't kill the knights because it was just a misunderstanding.

Looks like Liliera was careful not to take her life, too.

"Uh, the commander earlier..."

I'm looking for a knight who spyed on this one. [M]

"Is that it?

Yes, I didn't see the commander who was giving the order until just now.

Did you get away with this?

"No...... Huh!

I turn my body around and dodge laterally. [M]

And shortly afterwards, a ray of light passed where I was.

"After all, you hit me by accident!

I reflexively put my magic on my sword and unleashed a slash.

A slaughter born by magic hits and blows at a knight who was hiding.

"Phew, punch."

Flying slaughter created by magic can adjust the power with user adjustments.

It's a convenient attack that won't inadvertently cause major injury if you fight back in reflex.

... it was supposed to be.

"Wow!?"

Even so, for some reason, the flying slaughter easily destroyed the knight's armor and even cut the knight's back feather in two.

"Wow!? Sorry!!"

Shit. Too much, we need to do some healing magic fast!

My healing magic is not enough to heal the mutilated flesh.

"What, that?

"What's the matter, Mr. Rex?

I panicked and tried to cure the fallen enemy commander's feather, but there was no red blood flowing from it at all.

On the contrary, the contents of the feathers were neither meat nor bone.

"This feather, this is a magic item"

"What!?"

Yes, the contents of the feathers were packed with metal and a magic catalyst, and the winged parts like creatures were fakes of the crop.

"What the hell is going on?

Apparently, the identity of the skyman is not as mysterious as we thought.
