Chris's Faith of Fire

He inserted the sword into the demon's body before being penetrated by the spear.

"Looking like death!"

The knight behind filled the gap, opening a hole in the monster group.

Then the knights were swallowed up by the swarm of monsters, which seemed endless... but the warriors behind still kept going.

"for Motherland!"

Tell the demons in front of you that even heavy rain and thunder can't extinguish Garnet's last flame.

"For my wife and children!"

Don't let them be defiled by these orcs.

Killing his wife and running away before massacre is a cowardly act...

Knights only seek victory and never think about what will happen after defeat.

"For the civilians behind you."

The nobles were proud, they admitted.

Eat better food than the average person, sleep on a softer bed, and wear better quality clothes.

Therefore, when necessary, you must throw your life away to protect those who support you.

But for the blond girl knight, there is another person who is more important...that is a girl who is more important than her brother, her father, and even this country.

Ingrid recalled the proud appearance of a girl named Ladia. She was always so lonely with silver hair.

She protects her motherland, alone and weakly.

Ingrid thought to herself that it would be better if she was born a man.

Tall and broad, with a broad back, he can wear the giant armor left by his ancestors.

That way she can raise her shield and stand in front of the princess...

The first time she saw Latiya, she was deeply attracted to the girl in front of her.

I don’t know if this feeling is a bit strange.

So cute, so suitable for the dress, but glaring at herself.

She herself was wearing the same light and airy clothes, and the two girls met at the beginning of their lives.

My father often mentioned Ladia's name and said to her, this is the person you want to protect.

So she tried to get close to this troublesome princess.

Stubborn, with evil eyes, and no kindness towards him at all, his father said... In the eyes of the king, everyone in the Leerbal family is his enemy.

Every time they met, they glared at each other, argued and fought where adults couldn't see.

Her well-groomed hair was messed up, her dress was torn apart... the unseemly appearance made the adults sigh when they saw her.

Even so, they eventually became friends, and they had the same ideals. As girls, their father sighed, and the two took a step towards being no longer ladies since they started growing up.

Ingrid smiled at the thought.

If it weren't for the invasion of the Demon King's army, the two of them might really have turned against each other.

The gap between the families is getting bigger and bigger, and King Garnet is constantly weakening the power of the Leerbal family. If this continues, there will be a war.

But now, Ingrid is proud that they still have a chance to fight together, but it would be nice if she were stronger, so strong that the silver-haired and stubborn little girl no longer has to cut her hair short or wear a jacket. Plate armor that didn't match her beautiful body.

She hoped that Ladia would always be like the first time she saw her, walking at the banquet in a gorgeous dress, and that she would be a knight guarding the princess's side.

Is this weird?

As a girl, I have special feelings for girls.

Is it really something unforgivable?

Thinking about unnecessary things on the battlefield will dull the blade of your sword, but Ingrid is different. Her sword is already ready, and she is willing to make it sharper for the sake of the princess behind her.

Amidst the heavy rain and thunder, the blood stains flowing from her body were quickly washed away, but the girl knight still felt a steady stream of power pouring out.

Today she is like the God of War reincarnated.

"For Her Royal Highness, the knight's greatest obligation to the royal family is this."

The girl shouted loudly, then chopped down the demon in front of her.

◆ ◇

Ladia did not look behind her, she knew that her best friend was already fulfilling her obligations.

Then you must never give in.

The black knight pointed his sword at the girl in front of him and raised his left hand.

The monsters behind them all retreated and formed a circle among the knights. They did not attack, but they dealt a fatal blow mercilessly to the attacking humans.

The eyes of these monsters are bright red, and they appear to be completely obeying the orders of the black knight in front of them.

Latiya understood what he meant. This demon general wanted to challenge him in a one-on-one battle.

"What a chivalrous spirit. If the Demon King's army were all like you, maybe we could make peace."

"..."

He was speechless in the face of the girl's wisecracks. He didn't know whether it was because he didn't want to say more or because he didn't know how to speak at all.

She didn't want to worry about it anymore, and the two of them took butterfly steps in a circle, as elegant as nobles dueling in the square.

After Ladia took off the armor on her upper body, she felt that her whole body became relaxed and there was no pressure at all.

Although it can't take a hit like this.

But she also understood that any armor was just decoration in front of Dawn Star.

Prove your courage here!

The moment she thought of this, Ladia's steps started to move.

Her whole body was so cold that she couldn't feel any warmth. Only the fire of fighting spirit warmed the girl's whole body.

The tendons in the legs that seemed to be glued to the steel seemed to be torn apart.

The girl's hand tightly grasped the hilt of the sword and slashed in the direction of the black knight.

The opponent effortlessly blocked it with the Dawn Dawn Star, and his effortless attitude was worthy of that of the terrifying Demon General!Ladia felt complete fear the moment the weapons met.

The girl continued to chop, using her strong sword blade to attack the opponent's weak sword blade, and stood firm.

Judging from her swordsmanship, her performance today was definitely not bad. Although she was not used to holding a long sword, she had already used the sword to its full capacity. Ignoring the weight of the sword, the girl hit the black knight with a storm-like combo. , without any gaps at all.

However, the other party is much better than Ladia in terms of weapons attainments.

The black knight's movements were crisp and neat, and every move seemed to completely ignore the weight of his black armor.

When Ladia was slashing horizontally, he raised his sword to defend himself. When Ladia was slashing vertically, he took a step back and slashed upwards. The Holy Sword Princess felt strenuous for this heavy blow, and her hands were almost numb. She It took a lot of effort not to let the sword fall out of his hand.

The attack must be continued without any let-up, and must be done with all your strength.

The girl realized that once he was given a chance to fight back, she would be completely powerless.

The guy in front of me is a demon, but he doesn't use magic.

Don't you know how to use it?

Or do you just want to compete with yourself in swordsmanship?

Princess Holy Sword is still at a disadvantage in her own strengths, let alone her magical abilities.

She felt that this demon had unfathomable strength, and this idea became more obvious with each confrontation.

Finally, after a slash, Latiya revealed a gap to breathe.

The black knight immediately raised his hand, and his body collided with the girl. The dawn star drew a silver arc, and the sword in the girl's hand was knocked aside.

Firmly inserted into the earth.

At the same time she also fell into the mud, landing on her back.

general...

The Black Knight seemed to speak silent lines.

The girl could say nothing more.

She was ashamed of the big words she had told Ingrid earlier.

Being pointed at by his own sword, luckily there won't be any wounds on his back in the end.

Sweat began to form on her forehead, and Ladia clasped her fingers hard on the stones on the ground, letting her nails split open and blood flow out.Her bright red eyes stared at the dark death in front of her.She was unwilling to give in. She had used 100% of her power, but she still couldn't defeat the demon in front of her. In this battle, she killed hundreds of monsters and dozens of demons alone. This achievement would be her mark even if she fell into hell. A guiding light on a dark road.

The girl had already gained enough glory, but she still gritted her teeth, frowned, and her delicate face was filled with regret.

What was the reason for escaping from Lodculosaint in the first place, and why was the mother and Catherine sacrificing their lives to save themselves?Thinking of this, she tore open her shirt top and held the citrine necklace hidden there tightly in her hands.

"prakaash."

My body felt warm under this burst of light.

The full power of the citrine necklace was emitted, and golden light enveloped the entire surrounding circle.

The wounds on the soldiers' bodies gradually healed.

"This is my last resistance!"

The girl left these words, and the gems on the necklace shattered into powder.

She was ready to die and had done everything she could.

Latiya feels she has no regrets.

Even if he died under the "Dawn Star" that was once his beloved sword, he would not feel ashamed.

"..."

She didn't close her eyes and looked at the black knight in front of her.

However, the opponent has quietly changed...

The Black Knight retreated...

Are you afraid of light?Ladia was puzzled, but there was no explanation for the behavior of the demon knight in front of her except fear.

He covered his helmet and let out a groan-like roar. He dropped his sword, retreated... and fled towards his mount.

The monsters under the Demon Knight also stopped moving.

The few warriors did not give up this opportunity and severely wounded the monsters in front of them.

The black knight rode his horse farther and farther.

The knights watched the monsters retreat. They were almost frightened, but at the same time they were filled with ecstasy.

This is the first time the demons have escaped.

They didn't plan to pursue them in depth, they just killed a few enemies in front of them and then retreated.

I don’t know if the reaction time was too short...or if they thought it was all just a dream.

Ingrid took the princess's hand and returned to Leerbar City.

There are only about 100 remaining soldiers.

But they fell on their knees in the halls of the castle.

The identity of the princess in front of her has been revealed with Ingrid's announcement.

Ladia raised her sword, and then swung it down violently... The blood stained on the mithril sword spread black stains on the carpet.

Ingrid knelt down on one knee.

"Queen of Holy Swords!"

She was the first to say.

"Queen of Holy Swords!"

The knights behind started to respond.

"Queen of the Holy Sword!" "Queen of the Holy Sword!"
