Chapter 417
Battle
As Snow and the vice commander clashed, the battle quickly aggravated.
Snow moved around at rapid speeds and kept attacking with the icicles protruding out its body but………as you’d expect from a vice commander of the royal knights, unlike the undeads from before, he was able to block it all with his shield.
“[Roar of the Guardian]!”
“tch, damn you’re annoying!!”
But the moment he tried to counter attack back at Snowm Ralf used his skill and forcefully pulled his attention back to himself, and didn’t allow him any chance to land an attack.
His ability was indeed real but, in a 1v1 we obviously had the advantage in every field, it was clear.
Which means there’s only one thing I need to do.
I need to completely nullify the support he was getting from the Cardinal and the Bishops.
“Esta, aim for the bishops first and attack them. Until those three get split up, I’ll focus on blocking their attacks.
“Understood. Leave it to me.”
While co-operating with Esta, I focused entirely on blocking all the holy and healing magic fired in this direction, completely nullifying the magic from those three.
They weren’t stupid of course, and they’d mix in normal attack magic in between them to catch me off guard but, unfortunately for them, I had [Anti magic] to deal with that as well.
On the other hand, Esta continued to rapid fire magic on to them thus completely sealing off the support from the Cardinal and the bishops.
“Y-you damn shitty priests! Hurry up and heal me!!”
“We are busy fighting here as well you know! Why don’t you quickly take care of your enemy already!!”
About only 5mins had passed since the start of the battle and the vice commander and the Cardinal were already having a verbal spat.
The vice commander had yet to take a clear hit but Snow’s ice attacks had slowly been robbing the heat from his body and making his body feel numb and dull with every passing moment making him panic. Meanwhile, one of the bishops got hit by Esta;s magic and had already gone down, and the Cardinal was starting to show his fear as he saw me slowly slide up towards him.
Even though they were acting all haughty just a while ago, they were already in such a complete mess with their past confidence nowhere to be seen.
To make sure they don’t heal the vice commander, I had been acting as a tank but, with the situation as it was now, I could switch it up and rush into attacking them instead.
Since one of the bishops had already collapsed, if I can take down the remaining bishop and the Cardinal, it will be our win.
From the mana senses I could feel with my skill, I knew that there were more undeads nearby that hadn’t yet joined the battle.
So I wanted to quickly finish this fight, because these guys do have the ability to recover their health after all.
“Esta, we’re gonna finish them now. Grab their attention with an advanced magic……..I don’t mind even if you defeat them.”
“Understood. I’ll fire with the intent to put them down.”
Quickly conversing with Esta, I activated some of the skills I had been preserving until now.
After activating my physical ability boosting skills, I waited for Esta to fire her magic—–
“[Twist Air Raid]”
Esta fired two strong tornado like wind magic.
The wind pressure for intense but she had it completely under her control as it first went high into the air, and then rushed down at the Cardinal and bishop with a thunderous roar.
Because the attack came from above, both of them looked up towards it, and using that as an opening, I instantly lunged in close to the Cardinal.
Seeing my move, the vice commander tried to shout and warn him but, due to the loud roaring sound of the [Twist Air Raid], it never reached his ears.
Both Cardinal and the bishop were desperately trying to use some kind of magic to defend against Esta’s magic but, seeing their defenceless figures, I quickly slashed my Vendettatein at them.
When my sword gouged into his body, he finally realized I was here but……..it was already too late.
With his back slashed by my sword, he lost focus on the defensive magic he was using, and as blood sprayed across the area, the [Twist Air Raid] crashed into him directly.
I quickly dodged backwards to not get hit by the magic as well, and then turned to attack the bishop next but…….
The bishop was never able to stop Esta’s magic in the first place as he was already lying flat face up on the ground, completely unconscious and foaming at the mouth.
The Cardinal died instantly. And with the two bishops out of order, their rear guard had been decimated.
All that remained was the vanguard, the vice commander but, he had already thrown his sword to the ground and was only desperately trying to defend against the attacks while his body shivered.
But even with him focusing on just defending, his body kept getting duller and duller from the cold and more and more harder to move, and slowly but steadily, Snow’s attacks were beginning to hit him as I could see blood stains appearing on his armour.
He didn’t even have the leisure to even check at the state of the cardinal and the bishops behind him, and was unfortunately stuck, endlessly waiting for support that was never going to come.
The moment I thought of joining in and putting an end to his misery—-
One of the icicles protruding from Snow’s body cut deeply into his abdomen, and he lost the strength in his legs, collapsing face up on the ground.
With the past bravado nowhere to be seen, he was desperately begging for his life but his body had already gone so numb that words refused to come out of his moth.
Since both Snow and Ralf stopped their attacks, I moved closer to deal the finishing blow.
For a moment I hesitated over killing a vice commander of the royal knights but, since I have Charlotte’s, the Princess’ backing, I shouldn’t get into any trouble.
Looking down on the knight, I aimed Vendettatein at him.
“If you have any last words to be sent to the royal knights, I’m willing to listen.”
“Pl-please, hel-p ——–“
I thought about asking for his final words but, all that came was more begging for his life so I simply thrust my sword into his heart.
Since he was already at death’s door, the moment the sword entered his body, he spewed blood and died.
The noisy chaotic area had instantly been enveloped in silence.
