Chapter 87: To Confront

“Gu~ … Curse blade!”  (Elsee)

The moment Elsee speak the words, a number of black blades extended from the ground. Those things look like shark’s dorsals themselves. It crackles and comes straight to me.

A powerful “attack” containing a curse. It seems like she gave up capture me intact.

“Even only your limbs are remain, I can make use of it … I will cut you like an insect!”  (Elsee)

“… finally, you got a little serious.”  (Elsee)

Hold a manifested holy sword「Sacred Weapon」. This is a stance similar to Republic’s「Iai」. (T.N: Iai is a sword fast draw stance)

“Enchantment,「Holy」 … just disappear” (Enchanto,“hōrī”… kie nasai) (Felnote)

Cast a sacred magic on the holy sword「Sacred Weapon」 and use a magic sword skill. The swinging sword scattered a bunch of light, not a slash.

And it isn’t just skill I random released, it is a magic that automatically traces the curse and erases it.

It is a dexterous skill, it has favor attribute and it can erase the flocks of blades.

… It’s been a while that I have to go all out.

Because of create and maintain a magic weapons consume a great amount of magical power so it wasn’t easy to use. And I didn’t meet any opponent that I have to put all the power to this in the first place.

But right now, I have to use it to confront the most dangerous criminal in this world. And of course I can’t keep this for long, I have to defeat her before my magic power running out.

Rather than worry about it, I must concentrate to the battle right now. Chanting the prayer as I was taught in the past, I moved again to close up the distance.

“Blood cage!”  (Elsee)

The opponent takes out the sparkle crimson gem from the bosom and strikes the ground while retreating.

… It was in the report.

When I was in the Order, I read about it in a document.

「Blood Cage」 is a skill that Elsee is good at, and it is a rare ability among vampires that can hold living things if they approved.

Originally, due to the constraint that blood can’t be mixed with blood, living things can’t be confined in the blood.

But the「Blood Cage」creates a special space in the blood and makes it possible to put living things in it … I think it certainly was written like that.

Actually, this is for the first time I see it, but I shouldn’t be in hurry. I must concentrate and careful to deal with the demon she summon.

It was a huge dragon that appeared from the crimson gem.

The bulky thing that appeared is having black scales cover its body, reflecting the moonlight and staring at me with a burning eyes. It open its mouth and roaring at me.

Its slender and stretched tail is somewhat beautiful like an artwork and it sways like swimming in the night sky.

The body height is about 3 meters from my observation. It is quite large as a dragon.

“This is a child who has not played much yet, so I will let him play with all his heart!”  (Elsee)

“From what I saw, a Fafnir grade dragon … To think that you can even tame big things like this” (Felnote)

In rank as a dragon, it is the second from the top. Only under Yggdrasil class.

Perhaps it was controlled by dark magic that have attractive effects, but it is quite suprise to manipulate the dragon.

Usually, there are military armies under my command to defeat it, but right now, I only have myself.

“Go, Jabberwocky!”   (Elsee)

“Gyaaaaaaa!!”  (dragon roaring)

I avoid by jumping behind as the nails that are swaying from above with an annoying cry. Five of its rigid nail make five clean cut on the ground with the pressure generated. I was right to avoid it.

“You are naive to think that I will be knocked down by monter size! Materialization!”

If the opponent is huge, then I will just create a suitable blade.

With the additional magical power as fuel, the light sword stretches. (Just like Fate Illya Excalibur, see translator corner)

To combat all disasters, the trump cards that the past Holy Knight created.

Whether it is human type, large type, single body, plural. With enough magical power pour in, we can finish everything in one swing.

“Seeeeeei!!!” 

Ultra long sword, longer than 3 meters was swung down.

The body of the dragon was divided, it was eaten by light rather than being cut with a sword.

It was manipulated, it is a lot of weaker than the original dragon. It is a threat, but there is too many gap.

“Next, I will slash you”

“Ha ha ha, I don’t have anything else, but have you realized it yet?”  (Elsee)

Even the dragon was cut in two, but she just smiled wickedly.

Blood was blew out of the carcass of the dragon, as I remembered that it was cut, I realized my mistake.

“Ha ha ha… ♪ That’s right, you handled him beautifully and I was saved.”  (Elsee)

Mushy and messy, she soak herself in blood.

Her jet black frills become brilliant scarlet color, the opponent took a scoop and drink the blood.

Part of her face that got burned by my holy attribute has been restored. She is fluent in blood.

… I make a mistake.

The huge flesh with the corresponding blood stored. That is also a dragon. Magical power contained in blood is more than of humans.

If I kill such things and let the blood flow, they all become the food for Elsee.

In that situation, it is impossible to leave the dragon. Even though I know it, I have regret that I killed it. I shouldn’t kill it, but raise the speed to avoid and kill Elsee…!

“It’s been hundreds of years since I was injured by a single human … I praise you for that … I’ll admit your power. So I will become serious and crush you! Ahahahahaha!”  (Elsee)

In the huge blood puddle, the other party moved as if dancing.

“Vampires are best to bring out magical powers in the blood.”  (Elsee)

I can understand without being told.

Elsee’s magical power is clearly become enormous.

Her enormous magical power of darkness right now enough to overturn the advantage of attributes. For example, we can stop the fire with water, but the raging flame can evaporate water.

With the dragon’s life as a food, her magic is activated. Around Elsee’s feets, the red light runs, forming a magic pattern.

“Twilight Zone”  (In Katakana) (Elsee)

The moment the word was spoken, the surrounding space changed completely.

The air stagnates, the moon gathers a shining purple sparkle, the scenery is distorted.

My hands that hold the holy sword were trembling, It isn’t because I was frightening but because I was cursed even before I can engage.

The curse that I could not prevent caught on my foot. I felt unpleasant weight as if my feet was sinked in a swam.

“As long as I am in this, the power of existence like myself will increase, your power will decline. In republican way, It was「Ominous time」… “  (Elsee)

“Curse on the space and everything in it, also strengthening specific attributes …!“ (Felnote)

“In theory, it is necessary to carefully prepare before any battle, I prepare this for Argento, but … to think you can force me to use it.”  (Elsee)

“Ku~ …!”  (Felnote)

I knew about it, it’s basic to prepare before going to battle.

It is much more difficult with a enemy with a high ability, so we must deal with it carefully and plan ahead while measure about our enemy’s abilities.

“Even in this space, the power of the holy sword still be fatal to you” (Felnote)

Smile as to mock me, Elsee starts to concentrate magical power.

I trying to move my legs, if I can close enough to swing my holy sword, but it hurts, my feets are heavy. The other party is an advantageous space. The magical power is overflowing and the scale is more than ever.

“Ha ha ha! Resistance is futile! Engulf in the darkness, Fatal bind !!”  (Elsee)

An enormous amount of magic develops around Elsee and rushes to my place.

Binding is a movement sealed as usual. In other words, the opponent has changed the attack because she got the upperhand now. She is going to capture me alive to the end.

But this degree is seriously different from what I have ever had. Because the flame of the curse is raging and cover everything in the sight, it is directed to one person.

“… I will not give it up! Enchantment,「Holy judgment」!” (Felnote)

Enchant the holy sword, I put my magic power and swang down my holy sword.

The magic of the light that is emitted from it erase any flame or curse in contact.

However, there are too many in numbers. In a swing I can not deal with to many of them.

… If I have time to think about this, move it, swing more!

As I trying to swing the light sword again. The curse is already in my sight. To be honest I knew it was too late but I don’t want to give up.

“… replace” (Arge)

“Kya …!?” (Felnote)

I heard a nostalgic voice, and I was pulled from my back.

Suddenly I see silver hair appear as to replace me.

“As expected, this is really a troublesome work.”  (Arge)

As she speak, the flock of curses has fallen on Arge’s body.
