Plain Girl Hero of Darkness
Dragon versus Tiger! - (2)

The sorcerers, whose existence is doubtful to most people— the Holy Nation of Mekia is a mysterious country that produces many of them. They may have been small, but there was a time when they ruled the continent of Dubedirica. There were as many books based on that era as there were stars in the sky, and the story captivated the hearts of many.

The most popular among women is the story of Johann Strider, depicted in the picture as a handsome man and surviving to this day. A man with lovers everywhere, he never married in his entire life. He is an exception with more love stories than tales of heroic exploits.

And popular with men is the Seventh Generation Holy Angel, Sofitia hel Mekia, known for her charisma and outstanding beauty, as well as 『Silver Beauty』 Lara Mira Crystal.

On the other hand, it is not clear if this is true — there is someone who is said to enjoy murder, known as 『Bloody Princess』, Amelia Stolast. One of the books described him as someone who would squeeze blood from an entire mass, as he stood with blood covering his entire body and a crazy smile on his face. The truth of the above depiction is doubtful, but all books have one thing in common. He was merciless on the battlefield.

Maybe people are interested in such cruelty, he has a small group of fanatical fans—

A few hours after the battle began between the Sacred Winged Legion and the Stonian army. The vanguard of the Stonians pretended to be in complete collapse and pretended to be in disarray in their formation. Amelia who was right in the commotion stabbed the back of the fleeing soldiers as if she was trying to carve their hearts—

「Now!!」

Two soldiers from both sides attacked Amelia. Amelia lowered her position and slashed down with a curved line.

「Kyaa!」

Amelia licked the tip of her bloodstained sword as she looked down at the soldiers who could not believe their eyes.

「You guys think you let me off guard? Act as a gutter rat properly and scram.」

「Chiliarch Amelia, we have divided the enemy into two parts!」

Jan shouted loudly as he swung his bloody spear with his back to the blinding sun.

Amelia glared at him.

「Rather than saying something very clear, hurry and destroy them piece by piece.」

「Good! I'll do it soon! 」

Quickly relaying orders to all units, the Sacred Guards switched to a high mobility pursuit mode. Amelia watched as she enjoyed the thickening smell of blood, a Sacred Guard kneeling before her with a gasp of breath.

「C-Chiliarch Amelia! Emergency report! 」

「……」

「Chiliarch Amelia!」

「... Very noisy, I'm in a good mood.」

Amelia frowned. If this was not a battlefield, he would 'educate' the Sacred Guards who rained down on the march. How regrettable.

「My apology! This is important!」

「Hah ... So, what's up?」

Amelia looked at the Sacred Guard. The Sacred Guards looked frightened for a moment, then started their report.

「Enemy troops approaching from behind us!」

「Enemy troops? - Describe more precisely, how many?」

「About twenty thousand!」

「Twenty thousand..」

Amelia waves at Jan, and grabs the telescope taken with Jan's initiative and offers it. He looked in the direction designated by the Sacred Guards.

In his eyes were the Stonian army closing their siege. As the Sacred Guards said, they numbered around twenty thousand.

(I'm careless ..)

Amelia snorted and returned the telescope to Jan.

Jan also looked through the telescope, then groaned.

「Wak ... Time is too coincidental. In my opinion..」

Under that pretext, Jan slowly mentions the possibility that all the enemy has done so far is to draw them deeper.

Amelia silently listened to her opinion.

「Unexpectedly the Stonia army is playing us like a fucking violin.」.

Pressing the spear in his right hand far to the ground, Jan showed a face of sadness and regret. The brave Sacred Guards attackers also sounded shaken.

Amelia planned to attack the weak point of the enemy's defense, but it was an intelligent trap created by the enemy all along. They knew nothing as the trap caught them — the commander might not even pass on his plan to the soldiers who acted as bait and fled.

If all this was planned, then Amelia would not hesitate to praise the appearance of intelligence that exceeded her ability.

「We seem to be locked in a giant cage for now. For a dog that licked the shoes of the Empire without any resistance, they did quite well.」

As Amelia muttered anxiously, the fallen old soldier flicked his finger and opened his mouth. He's alive for now.

「Death!」

Amelia raised her right arm to stop Jan from stabbing the veteran with her spear.

「Chiliarch Amelia ....」.

「The fools of the Holy Nation of Mekia .. impossible ... you can win.」

「Is that all you'll say!?」

「Listen, our Duchy of Stonia has been protected by the God of War Zorbes since ancient times .. Your protector Goddess Citresia ... Only the second level trash Goddess ... He is a league under the God of War Zorbes .. so you have no chance of winning.」

Amelia kicked the laughing veteran's head hard, and his neck was broken into an impossible angle, which ended his laughter.

「God of War Zorbes? I've never heard of that god, and I'm not interested. Goddess of Creation Citresia is the only Goddess.」

Amelia kept kicking the dead veteran. As the Sacred Guards watched with bated breath, the veteran changed shape as his white armor slowly turned black.

Jan who was watching fearfully said timidly.

「Twelve Winged Guards will never be defeated, but our vanguard will be cut off if this continues. Please leave this place to me and back off for now, Chiliarch Amelia.」

Jan said with determination, and Amelia spread her hand out in surprise.

「Interesting..! It doesn't sound like the Twelve Winged Guards should have said, are you serious? 」

「Of course I'm serious.」

Jan replied firmly, and Amelia took care of her temple and shook her head.

「Hah ... Jan Alexia's. Do not just train your body, train your brain also occasionally. We can take advantage of this great opportunity. 」

「Chance? Is this an opportunity for us? 」

「I won't repeat my words again.」

The strategy of the Stonians was successful, and their guard should be lowered at this time. If they were hit hard at this point, their morale would plummet for a variety of reasons. No matter how many soldiers they have, defeating them will be as easy as snatching candy from a baby — this is a great opportunity for Mekia.

As Jan watched in disbelief, Amelia began to explain impatiently. Jan didn't interrupt, but he didn't look sure.

「I understand what you mean ,, but it will be difficult for us to achieve that in a dire situation. As you said before, Chiliarch Amelia, our vanguard is trapped in a cage. Forget about chance, we — ?!」

Amelia grabbed her chest and pulled her closer. Strict eyes and unsteady views— two contrasting gazes meet each other.

「You've been nagging for some time now, did you mistake it? I'm just saying we seem to be locked in a giant cage 'for now', don't conclude the conversation yourself.」

「T-But if this continues ..」

Jan insisted on his gaze, which made Amelia sigh deeply. It would be easier to convince him with actions than words. It is sad, but relieving the worries of stupid subordinates is also the job of superiors.

「Retreat.」

After pushing Jan aside, Amelia injects a large amount of mana into the magic circle. The outer edge of the magic circle began to rotate, and his left hand was gradually covered by a bluish-white light.

「See left hand Chiliarch Amelia!」

「Ohh! Chiliarch Amelia will use Magic!」

The Sacred Guards started to become rowdy. Amelia who was aiming for the enemy's vanguard spread her legs, then slammed her radiant left hand violently onto the ground.

「Watch carefully. This is the beginning of the actual party.」

Light shot out ahead with Amelia's words. When it reached the enemy's front unit, the land began to tremble as the light faded away.

「What is going on? Earthquake?」

The Stonians stopped their advance. The tremors were getting stronger so they couldn't even stand up. A soldier suddenly shouted.

「Wait! Something's coming off the ground! 」

After those words were spoken, the other soldier also spoke in a surprised voice.

「What is this? The vines ?! 」

「A-What is this horrible vines !? It's ensnaring my body ?! 」

「A-I can't move!」

「Hieeeee! It sucks my blood! 」

「Ughh... Save.. I...」.

Giant vines swallowed the front row in an instant, painting a terrifying scene of hell.

- High level Magic Bondage, Thousand Dazzling Net.

(Thousands of Fascinating Mesh.)

The vines made with Magic bound the enemy, and countless spines sucked their blood. It is said that when all the blood has been drained, a red flower will come out of the corpse.

Of all the Magic that Amelia had mastered, this was the most ruthless one she knew.
