"Die to atone for your sins, bastard!!"
"——!"
The greatsword swept across, bringing with it a fierce destructive force, striking Katie. In a moment of panic, Katie crossed her daggers and took the blow. Katie didn't have time to pay attention to the sharp metallic clash of the daggers; she leaped back desperately.
Although she thought she had minimized the impact, the dagger was still shattered, and she felt the bones in both wrists were also shattered.
Katie couldn't even utter a cry as her back crashed into the barrels. A loud thud followed, and pieces of the shattered barrels flew everywhere.
Puelle uses her inherent magic, "Devotion," to fortify her body with the magic she's stolen. Puelle possesses a greater aptitude for support magic than recovery magic, granting her, originally weak, exceptional strength through body-strengthening magic.
"Repent, you bastard!"
Puel heaved his greatsword over his shoulder and cursed Katti with anger and contempt. She looked like she had a split personality, but the surrounding knights didn't seem to mind; they all praised Puel.
However, this brief moment of carelessness cost the death of a relatively young knight.
"--"accelerate"!"
"--ah?"
Facing Puelle, the man who had first praised her uttered a small questioning sound, and that was his last utterance in this world. The dagger pierced his medulla oblongata, bringing about absolute death without any chance of treatment.
"! You! Why are you okay?!"
Puel's eyes widened in surprise. The one who had killed the young knight with a single blow—Katie—was unharmed, standing erect. And not only was she unharmed, she was even holding the same dagger as before.
It was as if everything that happened just a moment ago was an illusion.
"I almost died."
Katie pushed the young knight aside and wiped the cold sweat from her chin.
At the same time, even the pirates who had just fallen got up one after another and attacked the knights.
"impossible……"
Puel, though confused, raised his greatsword once again and took a stance. Then, as if to deny reality, he shouted and rushed towards Katti.
"Mei'er, hurry up and get rid of the leader of these guys..."
Katie gave a wry smile, thinking she was really asking too much. But she quickly straightened her expression, relying on her two daggers and acceleration, and rushed into the storm of greatsword slashes.
On the other hand, while non-combatants boarded the refugee ships, Ned and A Kuang, who were responsible for defense, were in a fatal crisis.
"Phew, what nice gear they're wearing!"
"When we win, it'll be time to reap the spoils!"
Despite joking, Ned and Ah Kuang were both covered in wounds.
Other pirates have also produced a large number of seriously injured people, with not enough fingers on both hands to count, and the number is still increasing.
"Repent!"
The bald knight, Captain Bartos Goldi of the White Light Knights, rushed forward, brandishing his knight sword.
Ned's face was grimacing. Bartos possessed the inherent magic of 'Heavy Duty,' allowing him to alter the weight of whatever he touched. The amount of weight he altered seemed proportional to the amount of magic he was using, so in combat, he could only increase it gradually. However, this situation put Ned, skilled in close combat, at a disadvantage. Ned had originally been equipped with gauntlets, but now they were gone.
In order to assist Ned, Ah Kuang fired a flame spear with enhanced penetrating power.
The flame spear's speed was like an arrow shot from a strong bow. Bartos was unable to avoid it and was hit in the chest by the flame spear, sending his body flying. However, after Bartos made a defensive move, he immediately stood up. Although he was breathless due to the impact, it was only for a moment.
"Is it not possible to increase penetration?"
Ah Kuang's expression seemed a little bitter.
The reason for this is that the "Breastplate of Impossibility," one of the standard equipment of the Knights of the Three Lights, is a breastplate that constantly casts a magical barrier. Other members of the Knights of the Three Lights also equip the "Handguard of Impossibility" and the "Shield of Impossibility," each of which also has a magical barrier effect.
In addition to their incredibly strong defenses, most of them are equipped with one of four types of weapons: a knight's sword, a greatsword, a spear, or a bow. Each weapon can enhance physical abilities, and is endowed with a high adaptability to light attributes and powerful lethality.
"Do you still have time to look around?"
The huge body approached like a cannonball.
The opponent possessed a massive, almost human-like frame, nearly three meters tall. His body stretched like a wall, clad in a muscular armor fortified to the limit, devoid of excess fat. The tower shield he held was longer than a normal person's height. To him, it was an ordinary sword, but to others, it was a greatsword.
Ah Kuang countered with a thunder bombardment, unleashing the advanced thunder magic "Thunder Storm." Ah Kuang wasn't just looking around, though he didn't speak, he was chanting. This was Ah Kuang's skill.
At first glance, it seems to be without any chanting, but in fact, after careful chanting, Ah Kuang's "Thunderstorm" has the destructive power to evaporate ordinary people without leaving any bones, but——
"snort!!"
"What!"
Before they were about to be hit, these giant-like knights were enveloped in magical light. The magical light quickly spread to the tower shield, and then his entire body, including his equipment, was shining with light.
Portis Bon, Captain of the White Light Knights, possesses the innate magic of "Fortress." Portis possesses an incredibly strong body, a magical barrier created by his innate magic, and the defensive power provided by his equipment. When these three combine, he becomes an "Invincible Knight."
Just as his title suggests, Portis took the "Thunderstorm" head-on. Although his steps stopped, he did not take a single step back.
Then, at the moment when the "Thunderstorm" dissipated in the air, Portis rushed forward again.
The approaching tower shield was like a wall.
Ah Kuang was so surprised that he was too slow to react. Even so, he managed to open the barrier before being hit. As expected of a demon who excelled in magic. And among demons, he was a genius with the natural vocation of "magician".
That being said, it's not that easy to withstand the brutal might of a brigade commander.
“Guaaaa!”
Ah Kuang felt the impact like a battering ram, and was thrown back along with the barrier, crashing into the mast. Then, he was struck by Portis's tower shield, and Ah Kuang's barrier was instantly covered with cracks. Ah Kuang was trapped between the tower shield and the mast, unable to escape even if he wanted to.
In order to save A Kuang who was in desperate situation, his pirate subordinates attacked Portis together.
"Open your eyes and look! This is the power of faith!"
Then, Portis exploded. No, it was the impact of Portis that gave the illusion. He must have caused the magical barrier around him to expand instantly. If I had to describe it, it was like a full-scale shield attack.
A Kuang's subordinates were also knocked away. Some fell into the sea, and some hit the edge of the boat and fell to the ground.
Then, Ah Kuang was blown away along with the shattered and scattered masts.
"Ahem! Phoo!"
Ah Kuang vomited a lot of blood and fell to his knees. Although he was not dead yet, he was seriously injured and could not continue fighting.
"Ah Kuang!"
Ned, who was also blown away by the impact, wanted to run over with a nervous look on his face.
"it's useless."
All I could hear was an emotionless female voice, so close that it made me shudder.
A slender knight's sword stabbed at Ned's side. Although Ned tried his best to dodge, the sword seemed to know where he was going to hide and changed its trajectory, piercing Ned's side.
"Gu! Don't underestimate me!"
"it's useless."
The same words as before. The person who made the thrust was a beautiful woman wearing glasses and with a sharp gaze.
Ned contracted his muscles to grip the rapier, then swung his fist. Ned had no inherent magic, but his strengthened body and diligently trained fists could even dent ordinary metal armor, allowing the impact to penetrate deep inside.
Ned's strategy was to fight with all his might, but he miscalculated.
The woman seemed to have known his thoughts for a long time. She dodged the fist lightly, then drew her dagger and stabbed it into the other side while turning.
The severe pain made Ned unable to help but relax his muscles. The woman took advantage of the gap to draw out her rapier and swung it at Ned's face with a sharp thrust dripping with blood.
"hateful!"
Ned dodged with his head swinging, and kicked upward with one foot.
"it's useless."
Sure enough, she seemed to have known Ned's move for a long time. She avoided the kick and instead slashed Ned's foot with her dagger.
The woman stepped closer, and Ned took a deep breath as he gathered his strength. His chest suddenly expanded, and then—
“Aa ...
"——!"
Ned simply roared, but Ned's full-throttle roar was a roar, enough to paralyze an eardrum at close range.
The woman was not hurt because she had covered her ears a moment earlier, but she still stopped.
"Hey, hey, sis, you're really wasting your pretty face by twisting your body in strange movements and having such a blank expression."
Perhaps he was trying to endure the pain, so Ned deliberately spoke eloquently, but the wounds on both sides of his abdomen were undoubtedly serious.
In fact, although his feet were holding on and not falling, they were constantly shaking, and he didn't seem to be in a condition to take a step.
The woman looked at Ned with cold eyes through her glasses.
"It's no use trying to be brave, because I know you'll die."
The inherent magic of "Revelation" allows one to understand the best course of action at any given moment, or perhaps it could be called intuitive magic. Suddenly, an idea pops into my head, and I know what the best course of action is.
"My best action is your death. You cannot escape death."
This female knight always chose the best action to kill her opponent. She was April Iropos, the Grand Captain of the Knights of the White Light. With a rapier and a short sword in hand, she pronounced death on Ned, whose breathing was disordered.
Ned also saw Ah Kuang who was forced into a desperate situation and leaning against the side of the boat, unable to move. In front of Ah Kuang's sight was Portis holding a greatsword high.
The situation is hopeless.
At this moment, a gurgling stream came from the deck.
While the knights were unaware, the water had already flowed through the injured Ned and others, as well as the bodies of the fallen pirates, and the power gradually seeped in.
"Then you're wrong. We, the Melkine Pirates, are quite resilient, right?"
“…Nonsense.”
April seemed to not want to talk to him anymore and approached him quickly like the wind.
She probably thought that since Ned could barely stand, it would be easy to kill him.
"snort!"
"What!?"
The rapier was impacted, and Ned crossed his fists and hit the enemy's sword to break it. This move shattered April's rapier in half.
Not only that, the sharp kick that didn't look like it was caused by an injury immediately hit April, but April slid under the kick in time.
"It's not that simple after all."
"What exactly is going on……"
April was confused, but that was understandable, as Ned was unharmed.
Ned's pirate subordinates also stood up one after another, still full of fighting spirit and rushed towards the knights.
In addition, accompanied by a sound that shook the atmosphere, a huge mass of fire appeared, emitting a brilliant glow. It seemed that Ah Kuang had seized the opportunity and created the mass of fire above Portis.
Seeing that Ah Kuang didn't smash the flame block down, Portis was surprised, but then he immediately pressed his hand to his throat, revealing a painful expression. He was seen using an all-round shield to blow away the flame block and retreated desperately.
Portis fell to his knees in despair, gasping for breath.
What Ah Kuang did was very simple. He used fire to make Portis fall into a state of oxygen deprivation.
If Portis had reacted a little later, he would have probably been forced to faint, but it can only be said that he was worthy of being one of only six brigade commanders in the White Light Knights.
Ned slowly moved forward and approached Ah Kuang.
April seemed to be on guard against some incomprehensible phenomenon, keeping her distance and not daring to get close, but she also didn't want to stop Ned's actions.
"Hey, Ah Kuang, can you defeat them?"
"no."
"What a straightforward answer!"
"That strike just now was my ultimate weapon, but it only brought him to his knees. I feel like crying."
It seems that the knights' strength is beyond imagination.
"Haha, there's no point in feeling sorry for yourself. At least we need to let the kids escape."
"Of course, I will do it even if it costs me my life."
The two men bumped fists with each other, their faces showing firm expressions, as if they had realized something.
Humans and demons fought side by side on a battlefield that was destined to be a deathmatch.
