Seirei Gensouki's
Chapter 83: Start of the Battle
Liselotte was inside the tent that was set up as a makeshift hospital in the mansion's garden.
As for before him, a soldier gritted his teeth to endure the pain of lying down.
His stomach was bright red because of the blood.
「GUH ..... It hurts .....」 [TL: You're the right man]
The wounded soldier let out a painful groan as he held onto his wound.
「Hey, since you will receive healing, you cannot move, you know. …… 『Recovery Magic Heal』 」
As she said that, Liselotte pressed her hand on the injured part.
He continued to chant the aria and, a small magic box appeared above his palm, the healing light coming out from it was healing the wound.
「It's okay. Instant medical treatment is performed. Look, it doesn't hurt anymore 」
Even while undergoing treatment, Liselotte was still cheering on the patient.
The wounds completely covered in a minute, bit by bit, the reddish color started to return on the pale-faced warrior.
「Shouldn't matter with this」
Liselotte said that and wiped the sweat on her forehead.
The soldier timidly opened his eyes. [TL: You're the right guy]
He looked at Liselotte face in a daze for a moment and,
「EH, AH！ L-Liselotte-sama?」
The soldier screamed with a dumbfounded face.
It was probably the best thing he could do because he was enduring the pain, he probably never thought that Liselotte would apply healing magic in the open.
「O-Aduh!」
The soldier tried to raise his body in panic but, his face was twisted in pain due to the dull sensation in his stomach.
Liselotte gently pressed against the soldier's body and slowly made him lie down on the bed.
「Seee. Because your wound has just become blocked, you cannot make such sudden movements with your stomach. Because your wound is deep enough
Liselotte told him in a more friendly tone than usual.
「EH, **, Thank you ....
Perhaps because he was nervous because he was fascinated by Liselotte, the soldier bowed in an obviously chaotic state.
「Hey, if you are a man, then stay firm!」
Section 2
Liselotte unintentionally let out a laugh and rebuked the soldier.
「Y-Yes!」
The soldier replied in panic.
"good. Please lie down like that for a while 」
Liselotte nodded quite happily to him.
Now, he, along with the healing magic users working in the mansion were conducting medical treatment to the injured people.
Liselotte, her name was known as a genius magician who graduated by passing grades at the royal institute of Galwark kingdom.
Although she had not been blessed that much in her talent with the sword, Liselotte was blessed with abundant magical power that could not be compared to normal people, she said, and had a talent where he could learn all kinds of magic.
But, even with that, for her who was the duchess' daughter, in common situations it was hard to think that she would use healing magic on ordinary wounded soldiers.
But, Liselotte was not even selfish, she continued to use healing magic while sweat appeared on her forehead.
His figure that cheered softly at the soldiers at times and reprimanded them at times definitely boosted the morale of the soldiers.
However some healing was incomplete, to the extent that those who tried to return to the battlefield by hitting their chests. [TB: Not too sure–> 。。。。。。。。。。。
As he worked, someone greeted him from behind.
「Liselotte-sama」
Turning her head to answer the voice, Natalie who was Liselotte subordinate stood there.
For some reason, she brought along Rio whom she ordered to be stalked by Natalie.
「Ara, Natali ~ ………. Haruto-sama. Please explain how the situation has changed like this？ 」
Liselotte was a little confused and then asked for their business.
「This issue must be submitted immediately. I found an unknown powerful demon. Since Haruto-sama defeated that monster in battle, I brought it along 」
Liselotte eyes were slightly sharpened when she heard Natalie carrying the topic of conversation without convoluted.
Immediately set his body straight towards Rio and,
「This is ...........my deepest apologies for making you come again in the same day」
Liselotte feelings were obliged to express her gratitude.
「Don't mind that, it makes sense. Unfortunately, I have a small business. If I report, allow me to go 」 immediately
Section 3
So as not to make him feel uncomfortable, even when choosing his words, Rio said that he was clearly in a hurry to the other party.
「This place is very busy, my deepest apologies for forcing you to come to this place. Please allow me to offer my deepest apology 」
Liselotte bowed for the second time.
「Nothing, because this event is unusual. Because I will thank you if you let me finish it quickly 」
Rio said that while shaking his head for a while.
"definitely. Nonetheless, since we will talk while standing, please sit there 」
Liselotte turned her gaze to the legless chair that was set up in the corner of the field hospital. [TL: Pictures and links of legless chair] [ED: http://www.clasohlson.com/medias/sys\_master/9253743886366.jpg something like that in my opinion]
Currently the place was made into an impromptu countermeasure room.
And then, the three of them quickly decided to move elsewhere.
☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★
In the southwest of Almond, evil spirits numbering more than 100 clustered together, they approached the stone house where Miharu and co hid themselves.
Ogres, hellhounds, crazy boars, bi-kong individuals, individuals who were treated very tough among the demons attacking Almonds were seen among the crowd.
「Uwaa, although I can't see anything with this, it's bi-kong and wild boar right. Will we really be fine being surrounded by this large number of demons, Aisia-san 」
From the fact that the evil spirits that were treated as headaches among the literature that she knew were swarming in large numbers, Celia asked Aisia with a narrow smile.
"No problem. Close your eyes following my signal as I will send a signal to Haruto with a large-scale spirit art after this
After saying that, Aisia extended her hand to the sky.
In the next moment, the light exploded.
The pillar of light appeared as if it pierced into the sky, spreading bursts of odo and mana in the region.
The pillar disappeared in the next moment, even the light enveloping the surroundings also disappeared.
「Haruto should be aware of it now」
The spirit art used by Aisia was a communication tool like the flame beacon that she had decided with Rio earlier.
To the opponent, the light pillar existed and functioned no more than camouflage but, using odo bursts and mana, he could relay his message that there was an abnormal situation on Rio up to a 50 kilometer radius.
But, since the consumption for Odo had already reached its limit, firing it randomly when separated from Rio was something he could not do.
The demon that was holding its back, the advancing demon had their sight snatched away by the flash, and was disabled.
There may even be individuals who temporarily lose sight.
Section 4
「I will focus on defense after this. After that, Celia attacked the demon with magic 」
「ROGER!」
Celia replied to him in a good mood, a storm appeared around her and a giant wind barrier surrounded Aisia and her companion.
「『 Multi Earth Lance Magic Multi-Earth Glaive 』」
Touching her hand on the ground, Celia read out an aria and then a huge magic box had climbed right under one part of the demon crowd in front.
In an instant, countless earth spears rose from the ground completely like countless hedgehog needles piercing demons. [TL: Celia Lv-UP ^]
The demons that snatched their vision and could not move to escape the attack range within a short period of time before prayer were no match for Celia.
「GIYAAA」
The screams came out like the battle cry of a demon.
When the earth spear stabbed the demon to death it shattered like a crystal.
「GUGAA!」
The giant who lived outside the range of magic threw a wooden spear towards Celia furiously.
The spear continued straight, if it continued like this it would continue to pierce through Celia's soft body.
But, the next moment―― 、
「GAH?」
The trajectory of the spear deeply swayed, and it was thrown into the sky.
The storm barrier erected as if protecting the house changed the trajectory of the spear.
Turbulence like an iron wall repelled everything that was about to approach him.
Then, suddenly a blade of wind carrying magical power spread from the storm barrier.
The blades of wind that were dyed with magical power neatly decapitated the ogre's head, and accurately captured the bodies of the other demons.
「GU-GUGI ....」
The demons that tried to get close were the sword victims, and their bodies were cut in half.
The bodies increased by one, more than thirty demons had met their end, and were transformed into magic stones.
「Truly reliable not!」
Celia said that loudly while loosening her face.
Aisia would execute an accurate attack while devoting herself in defense.
Although there were still hundreds of demons swarming before their eyes, he did not feel the slightest bit of danger from them.
Although the rear guard-type mage had strict rules against taking the initiative in battle, if in this situation, even Celia could calmly use her magic easily.
Section 5
Although the type of magic in which the phenomenon of the magic box appearing in front of the user is obstructed due to the storm barrier, the magic user can launch a one-sided attack if the magic designated at the magic point is optional *. [TB *: This sentence is too confusing–> 。。。 [] [TL: My point is: applying magic inside the storm barrier is difficult but, a skilled magic user can launch a one-sided attack by using a magic box at a designated location outside the storm barrier]
The remote prayer magic box was a highly advanced skill, but, in the case of Celia being praised as a genius, she could easily make that move.
「『 Icicle Rain MagicIcicle Rain 』」
Celia read aloud aria as she raised her hand to the sky.
A few seconds later, a magic box appeared above the heads of the demons, and then a sharp ice flowed down without breaking.
「GUG」
After successfully piercing the bodies of the demons that were clumped in one place, an ice spear broke.
Even after that, they noticed their use of magic in order not to damage around the house, they continued to reduce the demons one after another in one go using long-range attack magic.
「We reduced quite a lot of them, not so」
Celia muttered while looking around them.
The swarm of demons had already reduced below half of the first wave.
If it continued like this, they would be able to annihilate them within 10 minutes.
「I wonder, what the hell is this with this number of demons？ I don't think that it's just a coincidence that they're flocking to attack this place. Active barrier right？ 」
Celia asked with a grim face to Aisia by her side.
「Uhn. One neutralized the barrier from a somewhat separate place. You can think that the barrier lost its effect at this time 」
Aisia replied while shaking her head clearly.
「That means, this situation was deliberately created by someone properly. What is the purpose of that person, from the beginning I did not even know how he controlled these demons, but, it was definitely not a joke 」
Celia said that while pouting her lips.
「The person observed us from a distance」
「Fu ~ hn. I wonder what his purpose is 」
「Not Know？ Maybe we'll know after defeating the demons in this place?」
Aisia tilted her head with an indifferent expression as she maintained the spirit arts.
"I saw. Rio is not here, chasing after that person is impossible but. We can't leave it as it is 」
Section 6
Celia sighed deeply with with Haa ~ 」, as she said that.
「Nn. Alright, let's defeat the demons in this place quickly then 」
Aisia nodded slightly.
Although the demons scattered from one place to another while letting out a scream-like sound, the blades of wind mercilessly reaped their lives.
「Ha ~, it makes you lose confidence right? Could it be that Rio can also easily perform this stunt？ 」
Celia muttered as she smiled wryly.
Even if she was praised as a genius magician, she could not imitate Aisia no matter how much she tried.
Judging from what he heard from Rio, it was because spirit arts and magic were something similar to fake, though unavoidable, for example he who used spirit arts also could not do something like Aisia did.
First of all she already had magic, since she could not use spirit arts if she lived in the area of the human race, Celia was not too interested in learning spirit arts.
It was said that Rio when he was in the royal academy already used spirit arts.
While being ridiculed by the nobles around him for not being able to use magic, thanks to his strong will that kept concealing spirit arts and deceiving the surrounding eyes by never openly using that power even once in the academy era.
（But still, I'm glad he told me about it）
Although it was natural, something secret somehow made him worry endlessly, and made him frown.
Maybe just how much relationship I built with Rio for over 5 years.
But, even in the midst of the battle, knowing that Rio changed and became even stronger strangely made Celia feel somewhat pleased with him.
And then, at that moment.
「GYAAa」
The demon that pushed into the desperate situation was crushed with a squalish "GOU" and thrown high up in the sky.
「Haruto can do many things」
「Very reliable not」
Celia smiled broadly to Aisia who replied with one sentence.
☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★
Reis peeked over to check on Aisia and joined the fight from the sky.
「U ~ hn. As I thought, that demon level would not even be worthy of their opponent. Although I came since I felt the strong spirit mark, I never thought that there was a human-shaped spirit in this place 」
Squeeze his eyes as he looked at Aisia with ama. [TL: CONTACT COPS, ADA TOM PEEPING] Part 7
「While it is difficult to believe that he can use that much power without a contractor, the magician who uses magic should not be his contractor, or that person might be hiding in that house」
Moving his hand on his chin, Reis muttered while thinking of something.
For example, the spirit of human form is a nuisance if it binds a contract with someone who can supply enough magical power to make it able to make perfect use of its power.
But, he could not see the bottom of his strength because he was only staking his strength by making it clash with that demon level.
At most he could surmise that it was receiving a supply of magical power from its contractor.
In order to ascertain his true strength, Reis might need to show himself.
「But, if the contractor is reliable, I won't be able to hurt him with this hand. Should I accept it as much as I know that it has a contractor. The other party should have noticed my presence, I guess I should have run away 」 immediately
After a humorous-like smile floated on his face, Reis decided to observe Aisia's strength for a bit more for now.
☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★
「Thank you my deepest for teaching us such a valuable explanation」
After hearing almost all the important stories from Rio, Liselotte bowed deeply.
Even though he showed his demeanor firmly, a slight color of fatigue peeked out from his face.
That's natural.
In reality, the demons called ghosts that had just appeared were really difficult to deal with.
Physical strength that far surpassed the flesh of a living human, abnormal recovery ability, brutal warlike nature.
Although even if they showed coordinated battle power to those who could not ignore it, if it was from Liselotte sight, it was not the most troublesome matter.
The most troubling problem was the fact that the ghost showed a human form just before it died.
Man becomes satan—, If that's true, then it's really a sad situation.
They could not deny the possibility for humans to turn into demons in the area if they did not understand the requirements for humans to become demons, in the end it will go back to the stars because it is something they do not know.
Even if they did an autopsy on one of them to get more information, the ghost disappeared leaving behind ashes and magic stones, even if a magic stone was left behind, he said, whether the purity or size was greater except for normal things, they returned in a complete stalemate.
With the demon subjugation at an incomplete level, he had no way out even if he were to advance the story just by guessing, as a result, it had only left an excuse for him to worry and mental exhaustion, it made his mind cloudy.
「Thank you, we can quickly give notice when similar monsters appear in the city」
Liselotte said that while letting out her best smile as if to deny that unnecessary anxiety.
While there may be some point where it is too late, seeing that there is some point that it is not too late, it is something they can do without any problems.
Natalie withdraws to give detailed instructions for transmitting ghost information to various defensive places in the city.
Around this time, he might have finished relaying information to various places in the city using a carrier pigeon.
「Nothing, at most I just do my job」
Section 8
Rio returned his thanks by shaking his head.
Once he was done with the necessary story, it was therefore not good for his mental health even if he stayed too long in this place.
Therefore, he chose this as the time to go but, it might just be his imagination but, that line of sight indirectly turned towards him as if hoping to help him come from Liselotte.
If it was from Liselotte, the current situation was where she wanted to borrow a hand even from a cat.
But, seeing that Rio was not a warrior from this city or he was an adventurer, he could not force him to fight in this situation.
Because even in the negotiation proposal he submitted rejecting as if to keep from Rio's side at first, the atmosphere might turn bad if he took out the card. [TB:. Not too sure -> , ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ]
Maybe Rio saw that situation or not.
「Then, I guess this is all part of me」
He said that as he firmly turned his gaze away from Liselotte who was peeping at him with a listless expression.
"Yes. It seemed that the demons did not attack the residential area but, the other place was dangerous. Unfortunately the home defense is also lacking, for us to be unable to provide a bodyguard is ... 」.
Although it was difficult for Liselotte who looked like she was a little depressed, seeing that Aisia was there as a guardian, but the safety of Miharu and co was lifted from her mind, if it came from Rio, but the safety of Miharu and co was lifted from her mind, he had no intention of helping the Almond defense any more than necessary.
「Don't mind that, it makes sense. Receive your feeling is enough 」
After saying that, Rio stood up from the chair without half a leg going up to one of his legs.
"Please be careful"
"Yes. In that case, we will do it right in the future 」
Rio left the hospital tent outside after saying his farewell word.
Liselotte looked at her retreating figure who was walking on the sidewalk of the park.
And then, when they were about 20 meters apart.
「E-Enemy Attacks！ Enemy attack!」
The soldier standing at the gate jumped into the garden while shouting loudly.
Liselotte expression turned into surprise.
The atmosphere of the house became busy at once.
The soldier cried out in despair as he sent out a warning to the people inside the park.
And then, the warrior who came to the park from the gate approached Rio.
「Satan is approaching this place
The soldier shouted to convey something.
But, a black ghost descended from the sky in the next moment and easily sent the warrior by sweeping him aside.
A little behind him were five other ghosts descending from the sky as they flapped their bat-like wings.
Perhaps because they weren't so good at flying, it was more accurate to say that they jumped down rather than down.
Section 9
"Fish small"
The black ghost looked at the exploding warrior while letting out an ominous laugh.
Perhaps because it was an instant death with the attack earlier, the soldier's body didn't even move.
Rio slightly knit his brows at that sight.
「N. MS？ 」
Suddenly, the figure of Rio right in front was reflected in the eyes of the black ghost.
Perhaps from recalling something, the tip of his mouth was raised happily.
「Ku-KUHA-KUHAHA-KUHAHAHAHA!」
The black ghost raised a loud laughter as if going insane.
「WHY ARE YOU IN THIS PLACE?」
Rio tilted his head to the question asked.
Because he had no memory of becoming an acquaintance with a creature like this.
「CHE. DAMN. YOU DIDN'T EVEN PUT ME IN YOUR EYES 」
The black ghost clicked on his tongue-existence which was referred to as Alphonse before bending his face.
The moment he had turned into a different being from a human into a demon, the people nearby stared for the first time and understood that his face had been turned into an ominous one. [TB:. Not too sure->, ⁇ ]
Rio had no reason to recognize the thing about Alphonse but, perhaps because he did not understand it, his heart was contaminated.
And then, at that moment.
「It .....」
Rio's eyes opened wide seeing a pillar of light emerge from the southwest forest.
And then feel the wave of odo and mana a little after that.
Rio's face stiffened as his line of sight turned sharp.
「FUhn. You Suve HaVe SuCH LeeWaY for LoOKING AWAY huh. WeLL, FiNE THEN 」
Alphonse snorted as if in a bad mood.
「OI. TWO ONLY, COME AND CATCH DIA ONLY. SiNcE I'Ll Kill HEr r
Alphonse handed the introduction with his chin to the two ghosts in the back.
Liselotte looked at the situation from behind with caution.
OT YOU THE THIRD THREE WILL INCLUDE ME. gooo ……. Don't let him go！ 」
Section 10
As if ignoring Alphonse who kept talking in front of him, Rio suddenly became rushed to the side by freely manipulating his strengthened physical abilities.
Alphonse also moved to react immediately to it.
The other giants also started acting on their orders earlier.
Three ghosts chased after Rio along with Alphonse, the other two ran to catch Liselotte.
「I WON'T LET ME DO IT!」
As if to block the ghost from approaching Liselotte, Natalie and Cosette were back to the side as her guard slipped between the two.
Thus, a battle between two enemy leaders and two ghosts begins.
「CHE, WAIT FOR RiGhT THEre!」
Meanwhile, in order to avoid a troublesome battle, Rio who chose to run without hesitation was bothered by the ghosts led by Alphonse and was more distracted than what he thought.
Alphonse's physical abilities were even higher than those of the other ghosts, he matched Rio's speed which increased his body's strength and physical ability with spirit arts.
Initially, he needed to get off the path of Alphonse and his companion to get away from the mansion regarding the situation above, as he lost the distance between them and was overtaken.
「CEH」
Rio clicked his tongue as he felt somewhat rushed.
「KUHA-KUHAHA-KUHAHA！ Are Yuo SCArEd？ IT WON'T BE GOOD FOR YOU. My MiGhT LET You Off If You Do It？ 」
Even though he said so, Alphonse stuck out his sharp fingernails to pierce through Rio's body.
Since Alphonse had come to attack him while he was being overtaken, the other ghosts also caught up with Rio immediately and attacked together.
Beleaguered by the 4 ghosts, Rio sighed in an annoyed tone.
「HOW DO YOU GO TO YOU MY MIG IS ABLE TO DIVE NEXT, IF YOU WILL FINISH THEM. WHAT, DON'T FAIL. I'D SAY THEY FULLY LOVE, AS MY TOY 」
Rio slightly furrowed his brows at the sadistic smiling Alphonse.
Overcoming the violent 4 ghoul storm attack, Rio who was being cornered into a defensive battle took some distance with a step back like dancing and then, unsheathed his sword. [TL: Rio Tour]
「Fuhn, feEl LiKE FigHTing bAcK nOw. Deceive"
Alphonse raised his eyes unhappily as he felt the tingling sensation of intimidation released by Rio ..
「…………」
Staring silently at the ghost, Rio stepped forward and then, the battle, began.
