“What are you talking about—”
"I know I'd be in the way, but maybe it could distract him."
"Yunfa knows a little magic. Would that person be startled if he saw sparks appearing in the sky?"
Although their tone was lighthearted, their determination was serious. From their eyes, it could be seen that they were really willing to gamble their lives.
"Why? You haven't been together for very long, have you?"
"Because they are our lifesavers."
"That's right."
Sixia and Yunfa smiled sweetly, then mounted Iraku, grabbed the reins, and never looked back.
Natsu thought, they are talking about the basic principles of being human.
Because he saved my life, I risked my life to repay him.
In terms of how to behave and conduct oneself, it is certainly a great sentiment, but few people can take it for granted and put it into practice.
Then Natsu suddenly thought of it.
So, why are Sixia and Yunfa in danger of their lives?
According to the explanation, after the arrival of Bishop Argos and others, they were interrogated for heresy, and just when they were about to be executed, they were saved by Meredith and Oscar.
So why was he judged as a heretic? A possibility suddenly occurred to Nizu, and his hair stood on end.
"Wait, wait a minute, why were you two deemed heretics?"
"That is……"
"Please, answer me."
Sixia hesitated for a moment, looked at Yunfa, turned around and saw Naz's eager eyes, she sighed softly.
Then--
"Because we say, 'What's wrong with thanking the guardian of the desert?'"
"——!"
I am the culprit.
Miledi and the others were just implicated.
You think you are protecting others, but in fact you are just being protected by others.
However, do we still need to make excuses and pretend to turn a blind eye?
Are these young sisters going to risk their lives?
Natsu felt extremely ashamed.
"Well, Natsu-sama, I hope we can meet again someday—"
"Wait, you don't have to go."
The words flowed out naturally.
The sisters gambled their lives for themselves, and now they are gambled their lives for Miledy and others.
No more excuses.
This girl, who is much younger than me, can understand the principles of life better than me.
He didn't want to embarrass himself any further.
That's right, Nizu remembered. He was the son of his warrior father, Thorda Grun, and his duty was to defeat enemies who threatened the people on the battlefield!
The memory of that day still binds my heart, and the sins I committed will never disappear.
Just because it's an ominous force, just because I don't want to hurt anyone anymore.
So could he just watch the two people who asked him for help and the courageous sister die without helping them?
Of course not! Using the past as an excuse to escape is not an acceptable behavior.
If I really do that, I will be ashamed to face my family this time.
and so--
"I'll go."
"Natsu-sama."
"Natsu-sama!"
Sixia opened her eyes wide in surprise, and Yunfa looked excited.
"Thank you for sheltering me. Just wait, I will bring Miledy and Oscar to see you this time."
Although there was still a hint of pain in his eyes, Natsu's eyes were filled with strong will.
Seeing his eyes, Sixia and Yunfa expressed their gratitude and prayers to their patron saint with hearts full of joy.
"I wish you a successful return!"
"We will be waiting for you, Master Natsu!"
A thunderstorm started several kilometers south of [Libu Village].
“Guuuu!?”
「!?」
The air was filled with lightning and thunder, and Oscar and Meredith struggled to withstand the deadly rain.
The black umbrella in its unfolded state let out a mournful cry, and the "Absolute Disaster" that could absorb and compress all kinds of attacks was on the verge of critical point in the blink of an eye.
But they had no time to be discouraged, because even a moment of slackness would lead to death.
"Don't underestimate me!"
Oscar shot out countless short swords from his arms. They were the sacred artifacts, the "Little Magic Swords." The magic swords flew everywhere in the air, attacking Esther from all directions as she was struck by lightning from above.
"I've seen this move before."
Before the little magic sword could hit her, it was all shot down by the feather arrows that flew out from her silver wings.
There was an impact sound in the air, flames spread, white smoke dissipated, electric currents surged, and the air frosted and fell.
"But we've successfully created a gap!"
Meredy instantly "fell" into the sky. She landed above Esther and launched a massive gravity ball.
Esther crossed her sword over her head. Normally, even a huge block of iron would be crushed into an iron plate by the gravity ball, but she took on the heavy pressure in mid-air.
Although Meredith's cheeks twitched slightly, she ignored it and continued to increase the pressure.
At this time, Oscar ran into the air with his black boots and stabbed out a black umbrella from the side.
"—Ninth Style 'Heaven's Burn'! Maximum Output!"
Previously, due to the performance-to-consumption ratio, the Nine Styles were limited to the advanced magic "Lightning Lightning." However, with the help of Milady, the Nine Styles have now evolved into the highest-level lightning magic "Sky Burn."
The umbrella surface turned outward into a concave shape, and thunder balls appeared on the umbrella beads. Each thunder ball was connected to each other, forming a larger thunder ball at the tip of the umbrella, which fired a strong thunder and lightning bombardment.
White flashes merged. The atmosphere vibrated, clouding the horizon. As if responding to the opponent's attack, a top-level attack magic, unleashed in near-instantaneous fashion, engulfed Esther's form.
Although he was thrown backward by the recoil, Oscar managed to regain his footing by relying on the barrier of his black boots.
“Oh!”
“It hit! But—”
Oscar couldn't continue.
With a loud bang, the gravity ball and lightning bombardment were destroyed.
When he came to his senses, two big swords were like huge scissors, slashing towards Oscar's neck.
Thanks to the black glasses' ability to expand perception, Oscar raised his black umbrella in time to block it.
There was a clang, the sound of metal clashing. Then, a slight pain was felt on both sides of the neck.
Oscar was saved from decapitation thanks to the black umbrella that blocked his path, but the sword's blade piercing his neck was no joke, and the shock certainly shortened his life by ten years.
"...Surprisingly, you're holding up well."
Esther's cold eyes were right in front of her, blue eyes similar to Meredith's.
Although now wasn't the time to think about such things, Oscar thought their eyes were completely different. Meredith's was the color of a clear sky, while this guy's was a colored glass bead.
The pair of glass beads shone slightly, gazing into Oscar's eyes from a very close distance.
“Oh!”
Meredi released a sharp wind blade.
Esther showed a slightly surprised expression, turned her body, and performed a roundhouse kick on Oscar's abdomen, while counterattacking the wind blade with her greatsword.
Oscar crashed to the ground before he could even let out a scream.
"Ahem, ahem, this is no joke."
Oscar sprawled on the ground, vomiting blood. Despite the black coat's ability to cushion the blow, he still sustained severe damage from the blow. Without the coat, he might have died...
At this moment, a mournful cry came from above.
“Aaaaaaa!?”
"Miledi!"
Oscar whipped his aching body and rushed towards the falling Meredith.
The impact of landing on his back caused gastric juice or blood to surge up from his stomach, but Oscar forced himself to hold it back and would never let go of Millardi in his arms.
"Wow, thank you, Ao."
"You're not...it seems you're okay."
It seemed that Mireidi was cut from the shoulder to the chest, and blood dripped from the gap in her palm where she pressed the wound. Although it was not a fatal injury, it was still a serious injury.
Oscar glanced at the black umbrella. It was caught between the two swords, the blows nearly penetrating the handle, which was clearly made of the world's hardest material.
Oscar mentally checked the cards he had.
The chains couldn't restrain her; this had been tested; with her strength, she could easily break free. The same went for the metal wire of the black gloves. I wonder what her body is made of; even her neck only left a shallow cut, unable to be severed. Her "Little Magic Sword" had also been used up.
Even Black Umbrella's most powerful attack, "Sky Burn," was ineffective.
"What a monster."
"Ahaha, really."
Oscar could only smile wryly. Any attack would likely be blocked by the automatically deployed barrier, and even if it could break through, the opponent would be able to block it with their equipment and physical defenses.
She can fly freely in the air, her physical performance far exceeds that of humans, her magic power is inexhaustible, and her combat skills are top-notch. She can be said to be a monster.
"Are you willing to die?"
The Apostle of God flapped his beautiful wings and looked down from the sky.
"No, I have no such intention at all."
"I don't understand what you're saying. Onee-san, could you please speak human language?"
The two men replied with irritating expressions. Though sweat streamed from the pain of their wounds, their expressions betrayed no trace of pain.
Meanwhile, Esther, feeling provoked, watches Oscar.
"...As expected, it's ineffective. Charm magic is quite powerful."
The gleam in her eyes just now seemed to be proof that she was using dark attribute brainwashing magic.
"Hmph, what a waste of energy. My glasses—"
——It has the function of invalidating dark attribute magic.
Before Oscar could finish his sentence, Meredith spoke up:
"How dare you charm Ao!? You thieving cat! But unfortunately! Ao has been completely bewitched by Xiao Mi and is completely ignoring you! How do you feel now? You used magic to charm her, but she completely ignored you. How do you feel? Tell me, tell me."
Meredith provoked the Apostle of God without hesitation. She seemed even more annoying than usual, or perhaps she seemed genuinely angry...
Esther raised her greatsword.
