Chapter 291 Marin’s Wails 4

Part 2

“Ganbare! Anthem, super ganbare!” (Cry)

“Uooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh!” (Anthem)

The Hunters and knights who surrounded the barrier magic circle couldn’t do anything because of his excessive rampage. It was probably because they were afraid to be caught up in the middle of Anthem’s rampage.

However, only Lucia, who is a member of the same Party as Anthem, mercilessly used her technique.

“『Hailstorm』 !” (Lucia)

A tornado containing grains of ice generated from the palm of her hand grows in the blink of an eye and swallows the magic circle along with Anthem.

This is the Magic that Lucia specializes in. It is an Advanced Magic that is perfect in terms of power and range――And it is also the most visually appealing, so I remember praising her for its excessive coolness when she showed it to me the first time.

She is treated as a showy Magi because she flies on a broomstick, but Lucia is a splendid Magi.

There was a *gogo* roaring sound of the wind mixed with a *garigari* grinding sound of something being scraped away. Lucia, who swallowed his companions with a wide-range annihilation magic, was looked at with astonishment by those who did not know their way of fighting, and then she coughed a little and said as if to make an excuse for herself.

“If it is only this much, there is no problem for Anthem-san.” (Lucia)

“Uh...... Ooooooooooooooooooooooh!!” (Anthem)

A large shadow was moving while shouting in the midst of the raging ice storm that was shredding the monster.

This is something she is――――Familiar to.

I think it is okay for Anthem to complain about it once in a while.

“............ Is he really a living being? Desu. He is moving inside an Advanced Class Magic, desu.” (Kruz)

Kruz says this with a tense look on her face. I don’t mean to sound too harsh, but I also, well, sometimes I can’t believe how small he used to be......

Lapis squints and says with a difficult expression.

“However, with how things are, we can’t make any move......” (Lapis)

“Look, Yowaningen! Ark is also troubled, desu!” (Kruz)

Not only Ark, Franz-san and the others are also troubled too. Because of Lucia’s Hailstorm, long-range attacks can’t reach them and it became harder to narrow down the target.

But well, in the first place, when Anthem is here, you can’t attack unless you are used to it.

Gark-san, who was the head of the Hunter group, yells at me for some reason.

“Cry, think for a minute!” (Gark)

“I don’t know what to say...... I am sorry about our Lucia............ Because, see, we always fight like this......” (Cry)

“..................” (Lucia)

With a desperate look, the curse let out a wail of lamentation. The sound alone can freeze your soul and stun the priests who have surrounded her to stop her. All I can do now is laugh.

*Yareyare* Good grief, it has always been on my mind, but...... It is because you don’t equip yourself with Barrier Rings that you all end up like that!

I crossed my arms and looked down at Marine’s Wails as she flew here. Time stretched out and one second felt like ten or twenty seconds.

I will not run or hide. I already know――You guys will probably come after me whether I run or hide, aren’t you!

Marin’s Wails flees. Anthem chases behind them like a beast, and Ark’s, Lucia’s, Lapis’ and the others’ offensive Magics fly from all directions.

So this is――Hell on earth, huh.

However, there is nothing that I can do!

Marin’s Wails reaches out to me as if seeking salvation. As she reached out her hand, I instinctively held out my hand as well.

It was completely one of my bad habits. But Marin’s Wails opened her eyes widely, and for a moment, her movement certainly stopped.

And then――Marin’s Wails, who had stopped in mid-air, was skewered by chains flying from behind her.

Marin’s Wails looks down in dismay at the chain of light protruding from her chest.

Just like that, chains flew from all directions and pierced through Marin’s Wails and the black knight she was carrying. It is the chain type Relic, 『Shield Breath (Pillar of Light)』 which Priest-san showed us as a precautionary measure earlier.

When I looked into the box, I thought it was a very long chain, but it seems that it was a Relic with a set of multiple chains.

When I turned my gaze, Priest-san was about to throw the last chain.

A chain made by weaving light together penetrates the back of Marin’s Wails head. Her mouth *pakupaku* fluttered, but no voice came out. At some point, the air returned to normal.

Priest-san breathes roughly and wipes the sweat from his forehead.

“*Yareyare* Good grief...... I ended up using it. On top of that, even though it was inevitable, I had to pin them up in the air...... Because of this, setting up the Magic Circle will be difficult. What do we do...... Looks like we will have to confine this place for a while.” (Priest)

“Uuuumu......” (Anthem)

Maybe because Marin Wails had been stopped, Anthem groaned as if he was at a loss.

To be able to completely seal the power that even the most advanced Multi-Layered Barrier Magic Circle could not suppress, as expected of a Relic.

“Cry, I was wondering why you were sitting in that place, but――As expected of you. Good job stopping them!” (Gark)

Gark-san, whose eyes are only here for decoration, yells loudly and praises me.

Marin’s Wails was pierced by chains in the air and was restrained but she looked at me with a resentful gaze.

Don’t look at me like that...... I am not at fault, okay? Don’t be surprised when I reach for you when you are the one who reaches out first!

TL notes:

Thanks for reading!

Love how Lucia got shy after everyone yelled at Cry for attacking Anthem.

And Cry holding out his hand to Maring remind me of Riku holding out his hand for Sora in Kingdom Heart

Cry is totally giving salvation to Marin by holding his hands out!

Tchao à plus!
