Plain Girl Hero of Darkness
Battle of Nobis

The man's face turned into a demon, and launched a lightning attack. Every attack shook Ellis up to his skull. He managed to block a few attacks, but Ellis knew he would not last much longer.

(Well then, I'll bet.)

Ellis pulled away, took out a dagger and threw it into the man's face.

"Little trick."

The man swung his sword and dropped the dagger. Ellis used this gap and slashed the side of her stomach.

Just then, Ellis saw the man smiling mischievously. He quickly realized the reason.

“Ughh..”.

Before he knew it, the man unsheathed a short sword to block Ellis' attack, and thrust his sword into his thigh.

“Haha. What's wrong? Hehe."

The man pulled out the sword with a satisfied face, and blood spurted from Ellis' wound. The pain made her legs limp, and she fell on her butt.

"Enough. You're a big deal, that's how far you can go. Your movements are mediocre, but unfortunately, it's just a weak attack from a woman."

The man looked at Ellis and praised his victory. Ellis looked at him with condescending eyes. He insisted on doing things until the bitter end, and would not beg for mercy.

“Why are you so happy to beat up a woman? Stop babbling and end this. Didn't anyone tell you you weren't man at all?”

“... Hmmp. Acting tough before death, yes. As you wish."

He slowly raised his sword.

(Sorry, Olivia-Oneesama. This is the end for me ..)

Ellis closed her eyes calmly.

But the sword did not come. Confused, Ellis peeked a little — and saw a silver-haired girl blocking the man's sword.

“Olivia-Oneesama !?”

"I'm sorry I'm late."

Olivia smiled, then tilted and said confusedly, “Hmm? Olivia-Oneesama?” The happy Ellis is interrupted by a blonde man running from the side.

“Fiuh, I made it in time. Don't be reckless.”

“Cih! I wonder who it is, so it's just Evansin. Who gave you permission to interrupt my happiness !?”

“Kakak, please. Don't be hurt during a time like this."

Evansin breathed heavily. On the other hand, the man whose sword Olivia was facing snickered:

“So you are the real Death God Olivia, huh..

"Is that so? —It's okay, whatever. Evansin, can you take care of Ellis?”

“Ya Mdm!”

“Fufu. It's up, huh. It must be God's will for me to face the real one here. I, Chritoph, swear on behalf of the Raptor family, that I will kill the Death God Olivia today."

Christoph retaliated, and formed a cross with his sword and short sword. It seemed like it was a style he mastered.

Christoph then unleashed a more violent combination of attacks before Olivia—

(Aahaha! Olivia-Oneesama is amazing!)

Ellis watched Olivia fight up close from the first time, and she was so fascinated that she forgot the pain in her thigh. Christoph gave Ellis so much trouble earlier, but Olivia repelled all of her attacks easily with just one hand. Christoph was used to fighting Ellis, but now, she was sweating profusely and out of breath.

Ellis was somewhat confident in her sword skill, but she could not imagine how much effort it would take to reach Olivia's level.

“By the way, your attack is weak and light.”

“Hah, huh... You.. call my attack weak?”.

"Yes. There is no power behind your attack. Are you eating right?”

Christoph's face wrinkled as she heard that. Ellis held back her laughter with all her strength. The man who called the woman's sword weak, got the same judgment from Olivia who was also a woman. There's nothing more fun than that.

“Hey, I need to take care of Ellis' wound, can I kill you now?”

"Shut your mouth!!"

The enraged Christoph raised his sword and prepared to attack. Instead, Olivia threw blood on her sword, and sheathed it.

After which, Olivia turned around and walked casually towards Ellis. Evansin was surprised, and grabbed his sword.

“Olivia-Oneesama !?”

“Do not worry. He's already dead. "

Both Ellis and Evansin were stunned by the incredible sight before them.

*******

Broken arrows and broken spears scattered across the Freiberg Plateau, and the setting sun dyed the blood-stained ground with a deeper red color. "Death eating vultures" spread ominous purplish red wings and swirled in the air. Under the shade of the forest, "Night eyed white wolves" that were salivating appeared en masse.

They're going to party tonight. The land that contained the corpses was a banquet for them—

After defeating Sun Knight Patrick, Olivia's group quickly joins Brad's forces. The blonde beauty who was greeted by the cheers of the Second Army surprised Liz.

“Old no see, Liz Ploise. The last time we met was at the academy graduation, right?"

“Claudia Jung! —Are you not a First Army member?”

"I was transferred to the Seventh Army one and a half years ago as Major Olivia's executive officer."

“So... By the way, you sound very far away, Claudia. This is the reunion we've been waiting for a long time."

Liz puffed her cheeks unhappily, and Claudia replied firmly:

"of course. I'm a First Lieutenant, and Liz is a Captain. So you're my boss."

“This is an order from your boss. Talk to me like before."

Liz smiled faintly, and Claudia frowned.

“... You are as cunning as ever.”

“You too with your stubborn attitude—”

Liz looked at the sword on Claudia's waist before continuing:

“—And retarded swordsmanship.”

“Hmmp, retarded parts no need.”

They stared at each other before laughing and hugging. They are classmates at the Military Academy, and seeing them smile reminds Brad of the late Ritz and Linz.

After a short hug, Liz turned serious and bowed towards Claudia.

“Thank you, Second Army made it out of danger. I'm very, very grateful."

“Please lift your head! Isn't it natural to help our allies !?”

Claudia sounded a bit confused. Liz slowly raised her head with a face that was a mixture of relief and surprise.

“Fufu. Your serious nature is still the same. I'm relieved."

“Hmmp, it's only a few years, one's character will not change easily.”

Claudia looked away shyly. Liz flicked the hair around her ears with a mischievous smile.

“—Sorry to have interrupted your reunion, but it's time to move on to the main topic.”

Claudia quickly saluted when she heard what Brad said.

"My apology! Sorry for the late introduction, this is Major Olivia.”

Claudia introduced herself proudly, and a girl in dark clothes walked out. The emblem on his armor matched a black flag, with a skull and two scythes. The officers who had gathered to catch a glimpse of the rumored girl all flinched.

Olivia stood up straight, and saluted:

"It's nice to meet you! I'm Major Olivia Valedstorm."

Brad held back his shock and countered respect:

"I'm Lieutenant General Brad Enfield. Allow me to begin by thanking you for your timely help."

“Ya, thank you Sir!”

“By the way..the double body is already an amazing beauty, but the actual reality is even more impressive.”

Brad looked at Olivia, and suddenly felt pain from his hand. A surprised Brad looks towards the source, and finds Liz pinching the back of his right hand.

“Captain Liz !?”

“It's amazing that Major Olivia is so beautiful. But he's still young. May I call you Lord Pervy McPervface from now on?”

(Pervy: Flirty.)
