(…… Charlotte, retreated?)
Uncomfortable.
The escape of the girl with the most ability. From there, a discrepancy with my own perception arises.
Nevertheless, the threat appeared in front of me in this space.
A boy whose entire body is covered with black armor and a knight who appears as if leading him.
His body is more than twice as big as theirs, and if you look closely, you can see that the knight is made entirely out of plants.
(It feels strange ……, but it also makes sense.)
The atmosphere is somehow different from the one he showed in the intrusive battle.
Even if it is magic that he has seen before, a strange atmosphere is emanating from Adele.
From the moment they exchanged swords and were cut off, he could sense it.
“What’s wrong?”
The boy takes a step forward.
Then, as if in mockery, he stuck up his middle finger.
“You coming again or is it two-for-one special time?”
Julius and Charlotte moved.
Running on the ground at the same time, they closed the distance to strike a sure blow.
But standing in front of them were knights, probably created by Adele.
Raising their huge swords, they would surely block their escape route with just their size and reach. However, it is a large swing. Julius slid to his feet, evaded them, and ran on the ground again.
This time from right beside him. Another knight’s sword swung at him.
But the sword slips through Julius’ torso…
“Two against one, are you still going to win?”
In fact, Julius had slipped once more into the feet of the other one when he got out from under his feet.
Julius that was coming straight at him was a false image created by Charlotte.
And is it the same for Charlotte? The sword that the knight swung directly above her also slipped through the girl’s body.
So where did the main body go?
…he’ll just disappear and hide.
“On the other hand, if you don’t have such a handicap, you probably won’t be able to give in to your insolence, huh?”
Immediately after, Adele’s arm becomes enlarged.
It is about three times the size of a human arm. Of course, it is a metaphor, not an actual swelling of Adele’s arm.
What is bloated is the jet-black armor Adele is wearing.
Adele swung it around by twisting himself.
(T-that’s messed up. ……!)
Julius, who was hiding, quickly caught it with his sword, but in spite of his efforts to stay on his feet, the momentum continued to reach the wall.
“Don’t let your guard down, master …….”
Charlotte, who had appeared, appealed to him with a sideways glance, her cheeks twitching.
“The man you’ve entrusted me with to hold you back,……, he doesn’t seem to be serious yet!”
He never thought Charlotte would say this much.
She is a perfectionist and thorough. Therefore, although he’s not originally on guard,…… honestly, he still can’t shake the feeling of discomfort even though he is sure he is convinced.
(…… Oh, I see.)
The black-and-green knight’s head that looms over him is cut off, and Julius realizes the true nature of his discomfort.
(Is there a discrepancy between the image and the reality?)
To be honest, Julius is aware that he is strong.
He is so aware of his own strength that he thinks he can pull off a victory not only against his peers but also against adults.
And he cannot see a future in which he would lose by pairing up with Charlotte, whom he honestly believes to be stronger than he is.
He creates a false image of himself, disappears from his opponent’s field of vision, and sneaks into his opponent’s back.
Combined with his outstanding close combat ability and Charlotte’s magic, which she handles without chanting, it is unthinkable that he could lose.
That’s why it’s so disconcerting to see the rushing look on Charlotte’s face.
(In reality, there is no way that this knight alone will be able to imitate falling behind. ……)
Cain was sunk by a single blow, but he has not fallen behind even though he has been wielding a sword relative to him since a while ago.
Indeed, a new knight is growing in place of the knight he cut down. Even though it was unclear how far they could produce, it was unlikely that the board would change no matter how many more knights there were. Despite their power, their motions are large because of their huge size. An ordinary student might sink, but to him it looked like an opening.
In fact, Charlotte, who was reflected at the edge of his vision, was also accurately crushing him by burning his huge body.
So, there is no problem…
“How can there be no problem?
Adele’s huge sword thrusts into Julius’ side.
“!?”
“That’s it, the main body.”
Julius’ body rolls on the ground.
He hadn’t felt the floor in a long time. Julius immediately gets up, but the force of the blow makes him cough.
“The magic of this person is tricky, but if you see them hitting each other, you will know it is the main body. I’m finally getting used to it.”
A false image is just that, a false image.
It is not doing anything about the main body, but is only camouflaging it.
At one time, he was able to determine the entity by the feel of the forest he had spread out, but that would have been burned away by Charlotte’s magic.
The power would be lousy.
If that were the case, he would have to go directly to her…
(But then, how could he get used to that in the first shot of practice? ……!)
It’s a two-on-one situation.
In addition, both he and Charlotte are more than capable.
Who would have thought that someone would be able to reflect and attack the moment he spot an entity in such a situation?
“Charlotte!”
“I know!”
Julius’ body disappears.
If the moment the entity floats, the attacker will respond to it, then he should have hidden it for a long time.
It’s a cheap solution, but it shouldn’t be handled.
The forest is not spreading out under their feet. If that is the case, there is no way to confirm it by feel.
Julius gripped his sword and with a single leap, he dived into Adele’s back.
If he had been an ordinary student or an adult, the game would have been over in this one moment. Even if he had eyes that could handle it, it would be meaningless if he could not see him.
In fact, Adele’s eyes were looking in a different direction from him, and he didn’t seem to notice…
“Y-You idiot! Don’t approach me carelessly, it’s the beast that cornered!”
Charlotte’s words echoed.
What are you talking about, he said. A question rose in Julius’ brain.
What element is there to be cornered if he hasn’t noticed?
Even if he had noticed, this pause. He could react even if the plants he showed in the melee attacked him; he could strike even if he responded with their swords.
And yet, don’t get too close? cornered? he doesn’t understand. Still, Julius swung his sword with all his might.
“Let me talk about something a little obvious ……”
Gagyaaa!
The sword was blocked by the fangs floating on the armor.
“What?!”
“Family is supposed to be important. What are you really trying to do to hurt them?”
The trajectory of the sword he was wielding. A mouth is emerging from a part of the armor.
The mouth gradually protrudes and begins to bloat.
Nothing comes out of its voice.
At any rate, the enlargement gradually forms the shape of a beast, large enough to fill a dungeon…
“Completed, the Green Beast.”
“GYUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!!!!!”
A cry echoed through the dungeon.
Then, the blackened arms of the plant beast mercilessly blew away Julius’ body.
“Bah!”
It does not bounce.
Just like that. Really as it was, with no bouncing, Julius’ body broke through the wall and was slammed into the wall further in.
His consciousness is reaped …… in an instant.
“Damn ……!”
Charlotte shows the tongue to Julius, who no longer seems to be getting up.
“……Well.”
Julius was blown away, without turning his head to the other side.
Adele’s gaze through the armor falls on Charlotte.
When Charlotte heard this, she couldn’t help but gasp.
“Last one. I’ll get this farce over with quickly, if you don’t mind,……, genius who lost his master?”
