Plain Girl Hero of Darkness
Dragon versus Tiger! - (4)

Angelica puffed her cheeks and hugged Johann's arm. He wanted to ignore it, but Angelica showed no signs of giving up.

Having no other choice, Johann took out a telescope hanging from his waist.

「Alright, I'll lend you a telescope. See for yourself if you are curious. But-」

「But?」

Johann looked at Angelica seriously.

「Do not complain after you see it.」

「No problem!」

Angelica happily picks up a new telescope model from Johann, then quickly climbs a nearby tree, as if the Claymore on her back was just a buffer. A moment later, he staggered backwards with unfocused eyes and a pale face.

「Ughh ... How disgusting, all the soldiers of Stonia withered.」

「I told you that it would make you vomit. I had the same reaction as you when I first saw it.」

「Yeah, Magic what is it?」

Angelica pouted unhappily.

「Thousand Dazzling Net, high-level Magic that drains all of his opponents' blood.」

「Bleeahh ... That's why all the bodies are drying up. Are the red flowers around the corpse. 」.

「You understand quickly, it is『 proof 』. By the way, the magic that Miss Amelia possessed was among the most ferocious.」

「It was too cruel— Sir Johann, you can also use that kind of Magic?」

Johann scratched his head as Angelica looked at him worriedly.

「I won't, or rather, I can't ..」

The type of Magic one could use depended on one's character, interests, and talents. According to Johann's master, Thousand Dazzling Net's Bondage Type is a Magic that matches the sadistic Amelia, and does not match Johann's.

After she explained that, Angelica patted her chest in relief.

「It's cool.」

「How so? The situation should have changed by now.」

If the enemy did not lose their will to fight after seeing Thousand Dazzling Net, they would be worthy of respect. No need to worry since the beginning— Johann showed a self-mocking smile.

「Y-Yes! Lady Amelia's magic has caused the enemy to fall into confusion, it is only a matter of time before we move from defense to assault.」

「Is so. I didn't expect this to happen, but let's start this time as well.」

「You will finally use it?」

Angelica looked at Johann's left hand stiffly.

「I'm not trying to be stingy, I'm just waiting for the right moment.」

「Actual time?」

「Yes, I have to follow the intentions of Holy Angel.」

「Is this the 'achievement' Holy Angel mentioned during the war conference?」

「Accurate once. Since the Empire instigated this war, they must have had someone observing from the side. We need to show our strength properly, and tell them the consequences of antagonizing the Holy Nation.」

Johann flexed his left hand, and Angelica raised her fist with a smile.

「Please start with a blast! A big bang!」

「Hah ... you are completely relaxed.」

Johann sighed deeply and raised his left hand to the sky. As she injects mana into the fire magic circle, Angelica orders the troops to retreat.

「-Sir Johann! Withdrawal done! 」

「Then it's time ... To be honest, I feel sorry for you guys. But it's a war, so don't take revenge on me.」

With a stinging light, a huge fireball flew out from Johann—'s left hand No, it would be more appropriate to call it a miniature sun. With a howl, (mini sun) it stopped above the Stonia Army.

「Exploding!」

Johann clenched his left hand, and a ball of fire exploded, spitting fire like rain upon the Stonians.

high-level Fire Magic, Crimson Rain of the Flowery Wind.

The flames fell like misty rain, quickly engulfing the enemy into a red vortex.

This was one of the vast area Magic that Johann mastered.

「Lieutenant Colonel Lorant was killed in action!」

「Colonel Leinbach killed in action!」

「Major General Eberhart killed in action!」

The pale-faced envoys came one after another to inform of the death of senior Stonia officers. Basecamp faltered with anxiety.

(I think this might happen, and it is.).

With his back facing the noisy group, Felixus said inwardly.

Looking through his telescope, he could see countless vines binding the Stonia warriors. To the west was a scene of hellfire descending from the sky. It was obviously Magic, it was clear that the Sacred Winged Legion had at least two Magicians.

(Bondage-type magic is probably the work of Amelia Stolast. The other was Fire Magic, and it affected a large area.Of course the deeds of the good Witches, the pawns that the Mekian Holy Nation had were better than expected. I feel guilty for the Stonia Army, but this is valuable information.)

He kept his telescope and heard rough footsteps behind him. Felixus turned around and found an angry Auguste behind.

「Lord Auguste, how can I serve?」

「Serve!? What the fuck is that !?」

「That?」

As Felixus said that, Auguste gripped his collar and lifted it slightly off the ground. It would be difficult to lift a fully armed man with both hands, which clearly showed how powerful Auguste was.

At this moment, Felixus heard Theresa say with the angry tone she had once used.

「Lord Auguste! Let him go right now! This is despicable behavior towards His Majesty Felixus!」

「Silent, little girl!」

「G-Small girl ..?!」

Auguste's shout made Theresa's face flushed. To stop him from doing anything rash, Felixus tried to sound as calm as possible.

「Letnan Theresa, don't worry.」

「But His Holiness—」

「I'm fine.」

Smiling Felixus Theresa still wanted to say something, but nodded slowly.

「Lord Auguste, he is an important figure of the Imperial Army.」

The hurried Cecilia urged Auguste to remain calm. Auguste cooled his head and awkwardly let go of Felixus.

After coughing a few times, Auguste slightly lowered his head.

「Sorry, I lost my head there — allow me to ask again, what happened there?」

「Are you referring to Magic?」

「It's clear. The Sacred Winged Legion that has a Witch is a surprise to me. I doubt...but does Sir Felixus know about this? 」

The anger in Auguste's eyes turned to doubt. The feeling in her eyes was not that strong, but Cecilia directed the same gaze towards Felixus.

「Are you referring to the fact that the Sacred Winged Legion has a Magician?」

「Benat!」

Auguste's voice became insolent again, and Felixus replied indifferently.

「Ya, of course I know.」

「What…? You know but keep quiet about it ?! 」

「It's true.」

「But why! If we have that information before— 」

「If you know, you can't even do battle, right?」

Felixus cut Auguste.

「The magicians are outside the realm of humans, at least that's what the Imperial army thinks of them. The same goes for the Stonia team, right?」

「... True. Witches are monsters disguised as humans. 」

「That's why. His spirit is already low, so I assess the information from the Witch will be toxic to the Stonia army. It seems my judgment is correct. 」

Not just the Empire, almost everyone considers Magic to be just a fairy tale. There were many of them in the past, but the number of Magicians today was very limited, and it was usually treated as a booze.
