Against the World II: Transgression
Chapter 15: Duo Monster, Part 1
...**********...
The thrust of the orichalcum spear shot sharply through the air that was between the owner and the target. Not just one, but several. However, the target of the spears played with not too bad it can be avoided with a minimalist movement. He even used one spear tip to block the other spearhead—which successfully made a growl out of the mouths of the spear owners.
Utilizing Xavier who was busy dodging the barrage of attacking soldiers from the front, the two soldiers moved quickly and attacked the commander from behind with two sword slashes. But Xavier had first lowered his head, making the two swords hit their comrades' spears. And, before they had time to react, Xavier had already smashed both his elbows on the stomachs of the two warriors behind him—then his hands quickly snatched their swords.
The two warriors bounced strongly with their mouths open releasing groans, at the same time Xavier crossed both of their swords to block the lance struck from top to bottom forcefully. Although almost even ten of their number, but their energy failed to make the commander bowed. Instead, they were the ones who crashed down as he slashed firmly at his two swords.
Simultaneously, a barrage of black spears manifested in the air and rained down on the bodies of all the soldiers who had come to attack Xavier— - a dozen in number. The screeching pain spontaneously invaded the air, but it only lasted for a short while because the black flames were preying on it quickly.
“Cih! All of you, attack!”
Along with that cry, a foot rush hunted towards Xavier. A dozen of the soldiers who had come forward unleashed a wave of water spell that swept away the black flames that were still burning. The fire was of course not extinguished, but washed away like wood thrown into a stream. Xavier himself was also encouraged, because the combination of dozens of water waves was not small.
A sudden lightning spark accompanies. Dozens of warriors had utilized the water their comrades had created to create their lightning fields. Dozens of other warriors had surrounded him from three directions. Spells from the magic of fire, wind, and land flocked to attack the commander who just silently let his body shocked the lightning field.
All of the spells hit the target successfully, causing a crash and a bang, which spontaneously created smoke and dust puffs that blocked the view.
The dozens of other soldiers who had been waiting for that moment instantly released their combined spells. The ball of light fell from the huge magic circle that was tens of meters above the puff of smoke and dust, instantly giving rise to a bigger bang—which released air shocks in all directions.
“Heh, it turns out he was just bluffing. Bizarre.” The highest-ranking warrior among the hundreds of them let out a disappointed sigh, then turned around and stepped away. “You guys, clean up that mess then to—”
“Not bad.”
The soldier's mouth was spontaneously silenced and his legs reflexively turned around. Lost all traces of attacks by his soldiers. There is no dust and smoke that pollutes the air. No fire and water marks were visible. There was nothing but a dark red-haired man standing without the slightest wound.
“You guys are quick. Your combination attacks are good too. Overall, you deserve a score of 3 on a 5 scale. It was higher than the Imperial Army, but unfortunately still lower than Chiron Army.”
That guy's sass! The chief soldier was enraged, and he was not alone. The superior pretentious attitude displayed by the sinful man really makes them ride black. The head soldier himself had already pulled out a sword and pulled the shield from his back.
“Good reaction. You must not be satisfied if it has not been the best.” The young man bore to his own words and created two blue fire swords in both hands with a thin grin on the lips. “Well, now we continue, what about your readiness in defending? Let's find out the answer.”
Dugs. The head of the warrior's head hit the ground, twisting without a clear direction. And, when the head stopped, the soldier's black eyes met the brown eyes of his subordinates. Neither he nor the soldier could produce even a single word; the blue flames burned their heads to skulls.
And, those two were by no means the last. Head after head again fell and ignited the fire, as if they were withered leaves that fell on the hearth—had burned unceasingly.

Rossia's eyes opened reluctantly; her sleep was interrupted by cries calling out her name from outside the tent. He had just fallen asleep less than half an hour ago, his head feeling heavy. He snorted and was about to open his mouth shouting that they all might shut up and get rid of themselves. However, his consciousness instantly returned one hundred percent when the word “we were attacked” successfully translated his brain.
Rossia swiftly got up from the mat where she lay, pulled out a platinum stick and immediately rushed out of the tent. He had absolutely no need to look at his clothes; he had slept in his clothes.
“What? Who attacked? Favilifna Kingdom is aware of our invasion, even though we have gone the extra mile to avoid their sight range?” rossia asked in tears, her golden yellow irises looking intently at the dozens of soldiers before her.
“No idea, Captain! Currently some of the soldiers who are guarding first are handling it. Me and the others were tasked with waking everything up.”
Rossia snorted, refraining from absorbing the incompetent. “Command everyone to get there,” instructions. “If in ten minutes anyone hasn't been there, I'll make sure he'll never be there myself. That includes Ekralina Army.”
Hearing the “ready coating, ma’am!”, Rossia immediately shot into the air with her [Flight Magic]. I carried myself at high speed into the air, only to stop when it reached a height of half a kilometer. Rossia's eyes looked sharply down there. The high position made the blood red haired woman to be able to see what was really happening.
“Dia..Twelfth Commander Imperial Army…. Has Favilifna predicted our invasion?”
That's honestly not hard to believe. Eternity had heard the news of the Knights Templar's movements, so they left Etharna. The reduced strength protecting the capital opened up an opportunity for the other party to attack. Even if Favilifna did not deduce the Knights Templar would attack the capital, they would certainly be cautious of the Ekralina Kingdom.
“And, who else is more appropriate to ask for help other than enemies from your enemies?” Rossia grieving. “Basic of weak, useless, perverted creatures, only pollute the air. But, yes, this was precisely good for Emiliel Holy Kingdom. There was no way the empire would expect the Holy Kingdom to remain silent after this intervention. They provoked Emiliel Holy Kingdom to start a war.”
Heh, not bad; as can be expected of the Vermillion Empire. Rossia smiled amusedly. “For now, let's see if the information about Xavier von Hernandez who had destroyed Undead Thevetat is indeed not overstated.”
Rossia is advancing.
