180. The Final Battle (1)

“Ugh, my head.”

“―!”

Marquis Balton, who had been unconscious for a long time, came to his senses.

Marquis Balton was horrified when he saw his children lying beside him.

“Cedric, Cedric! Wake up! Evelyn!”

“I think it would be better not to wake him up.”

At the voice as cold as the North Sea, Marquis Balton raised his head.

“Are you planning to make your children suffer like this too?”

“You, you… … !”

He looked at Cayenne’s face and became thoughtful.

“Master.”

Cayenne winked at Roselia.

The intention was to ask for permission to at least get rid of the Marquis of Balton.

“……okay.”

As Roselia nodded, Cayenne’s men gathered around him.

“Why are you doing this to me! What did I do wrong?”

“Why are you doing this?”

Cayenne straightened up and approached Marquis Balton.

A sharp dagger emerged from his arms.

“Hic!”

He thrust a sharp knife into the neck of the Marquis of Balton.

“Because of your petty experiments, I’ve lived a life worse than a dog’s. Until you pay me back for it all, I can’t leave because I feel wronged.”

“I, I’m sorry about that! But didn’t I give you a chance?”

“……what?”

Marquis Balton pointed to Roselia.

“I saved you from being held captive by that princess! I gave you a chance to live as His Majesty’s child! If you had just behaved well, you could have been recognized as His Majesty’s bloodline and lived the rest of your life like a doll, but you were the one who threw that away!”

Cayenne’s face became incredibly cold.

The Marquis of Balton was furious.

“Why are you XXing me now! I can’t die like this, I can’t die!”

Marquis Balton, who had been screaming in agony, took out a palm-sized vial from his trouser pocket.

An ominous green liquid sloshed inside the vial.

“Stop the author!”

“Crunch!”

Marquis Balton desperately twisted his body to avoid the hand and threw the vial onto the magic circle.

Clang!

The glass bottle shattered and the liquid inside spread across the magic circle.

Then, the magic circle that had been glowing blue turned a black color like filth.

“I, that’s… … !”

The magic circle, which had changed color, began to writhe strangely. Tentacle-like limbs sprouted from it, which had been writhing like maggots.

Wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle.

In an instant, they grew in size.

“Keeeeeek―!”

“It’s a monster, everyone run away!”

Cayenne hugged Roselia in one breath.

Meanwhile, monsters that had grown to the size of houses were spewing venom in all directions.

Weapons and armor that could not withstand the poison melted away.

“Eww!”

A terrible scream echoed through the laboratory.

Cayenne ran out of the lab carrying Roselia.

“Could that monster be… … ?”

“Yes, you’ve probably seen it too, Master. It’s a mutant monster created by Marquis Balton as part of his homunculus experiments.”

“!”

“My men will buy you time. You’d better get to a safe place, Master.”

As Cayenne ran towards the entrance, a heavy spike struck his leg.

“Ugh.”

“Cayenne! Are you okay?”

“I’m fine, Master, you go first.”

“But the blood… … !”

Crimson blood flowed like a waterfall from Cayenne’s legs.

Roselia put the necklace she had on her neck on Cayenne.

Then he created a protective shield using a defensive magic tool and surrounded the two people.

“As long as you have the shield, you will be safe from the demons’ attacks.”

The shield lasts for thirty minutes.

She had sent a letter to Ikart when she set out south, and she hoped he would come here as soon as possible.

“Kuaaaah!”

Then one of the men fell down, screaming in agony.

Cayenne’s men and the duke’s knights joined forces to try to subdue the demon, but they were outnumbered.

Even the best-trained knights were no match for the demons pouring out like a waterfall.

“Ugh.”

Cayenne rose from her seat with a start.

“Master, can I borrow that for a moment?”

“what!”

He snatched the soul-slicing sword from Roselia’s hand.

Then he jumped up like an arrow and stood in front of the demon.

He gathered all the magical power in his body and focused it on his sword.

“Haat!”

The sword flashed with a brilliant light.

The moment a sharp blow pierced the demon’s heart.

“Keeeeeek!”

“―!”

His sword bounced off the demon’s thick hide without being able to penetrate it.

Roselia looked at it and realized.

That his magic power is no longer what it used to be.

“No, Cayenne!”

“Ugh… … .”

At that moment, both of his knees buckled.

From a distance, the sounds of knights with a fever could be heard.

* * *

Meanwhile, Ikart, who had formed a scout party, had been searching the south since dawn.

However, even after wandering around for a while, it was not easy to find Dean Octavius’s whereabouts.

Eventually we reached a deserted beach, but it was already too late.

The duke’s knight spoke cautiously to Ikart.

“Your Majesty, it’s getting late, so how about we wrap up our schedule for today here? It would be better to resume the search as soon as dawn breaks tomorrow.”

“Damn… … .”

Ikart let out an annoyed sigh.

Are we going to lose Dean Octavius ​​like this?

That was when I was thinking that way.

Philip called him urgently.

“Oh, oh …

* * *

Thud, thud, thud.

At that moment, as they were being attacked by ferocious demons, knights advanced from afar.

“Brother?”

Roselia looked at him with joy.

But the person who actually showed up was someone far beyond her expectations.

“… … Lord Brecht?”

Dark brown hair and bright green eyes.

A sturdy man appeared with a silver badge fluttering in the wind.

It was Brecht, the Crown Prince’s bodyguard and the Empress’s secret attendant.

Behind him were the imperial guards.

“Your Majesty!”

Brecht was about to run straight to Roselia, but stopped when he saw the demons pouring out like a tidal wave.

“These mutant demons could not possibly be… … .”

If it was a mutant demon, he had already seen it.

He opened his eyes wide when he saw Marquis Balton at the center of the demons.

“All forces, repel the demons!”

“yes!”

While his men were dealing with the demons, he looked at Marquis Balton.

“Oh, how did the Knight Commander get here… …!”

The Marquis of Balton tried to run away in confusion, but tripped over his son’s foot and fell.

Meanwhile, Brecht cut down the demons with his awesome sword aura.

He calmly made his way forward and approached Marquis Balton.

“Oh, no!”

He took another vial out of his bosom and sprinkled it on the magic circle.

“Keeeeeek!”

Then this time the demons became even more vicious.

One of the beasts, running wild, started spewing venom indiscriminately.

“damage!”

“!”

As the venom that had been spraying everywhere aimed for the knight’s head, Brecht threw his body and pushed his subordinate away.

Fortunately, the venom avoided the knight’s vital points, but instead melted Brecht’s arm armor.

“Ugh… … .”

The skin under the armor, which had been hit directly by the poison, melted as if it had come into contact with hydrochloric acid.

His face twisted in pain, but even then his other arm was swinging his sword.

Bam!

“Lord Brecht, are you okay?”

“Your Majesty!”

The surrounding area was devastated by the explosive magical tool thrown by Roselia.

The demons around Brecht have become rags, but soon more demons will be created from the magic circle.

To end this war of attrition, its source had to be eliminated.

He caught a glimpse of the Marquis of Balton.

“Haaaah!”

Brecht, who ran like a storm through the remains of the demon’s body, swung his sword.

“―!”

Margrave Balton desperately tried to escape, but Brecht’s fierce sword cut off his leg first.

“Ahh, ahh …

Flesh was torn apart and crimson liquid spurted out like a fountain.

Marquis Balton struggled desperately.

If we got caught here, it was all over.

“How did I get up here, how did I… …! I can’t just go down like this!”

From the moment he encountered the Knight Commander, his doom was foretold.

Marquis Balton crawled up onto the magic circle, writhing as if burned.

“―!”

As the bloodstain splattered on the magic circle, a bloody glow shimmered across the magic circle.

Soon his body began to twist grotesquely.

“Turning into a demon beast… …!”

In an instant, his entire body seemed to be covered in armor-like scales, and his eyes became slits like those of a snake.

The wingtips tore and huge wings sprouted.

It could no longer be called human.

“It’s an evil dragon, get out!”

The evil dragon roared ferociously and devoured the sacrifices.

It is an evil dragon that appears in ancient magic books and has manifested through the power of powerful sorcery.

“All forces, prepare to attack!”

Brecht swung his sword without stopping.

But even his fierce swordsmanship could not pierce the heart of the evil dragon.

“Kwaaak!”

Other knights joined in, but they were barely able to restrain the dragon’s feet.

“Gasp, huh.”

Cayenne, breathing heavily, gripped the sword tightly.

My whole body was gradually losing strength.

If I had to die this way or that way, I couldn’t just sit still and die.

This was the last chance for the Imperial Guard Knights to buy time.

Then someone grabbed his arm.

“Are you going alone again?”

“… …Master?”

Roselia placed her hand on his hand holding the sword.

Cayenne’s magical power, which I had never felt before, flowed like an electric current over the sword.

A faint but definite vitality.

She channeled her magic power over the sword.

“―!”

Different and heterogeneous magical powers surged through the sword.

“This is… … .”

“Maybe I could do it now.”

She shouted at Brecht.

“Lord Brecht! I’ll aim for the dragon’s heart, so get your attention!”

“Your Majesty? It’s too dangerous—”

At that moment, the evil dragon spewed out lava-like flames. Overwhelming attack power.

Every time the dragon’s breath passed by, the knights fell in vain.

“There is no time to delay! Hurry up!”

Brecht quickly reorganized his ranks.

“All troops, aim for the dragon’s legs! We must attract as much attention as possible!”

“yes!”

Roselia took the potion out of her bag and drank it in gulps.

It was a potion that temporarily greatly increased agility, strength, and magical power.

As I drank the liquid to the end, an unknown power surged through my blood vessels.

“let’s go.”

Roselia took Cayenne’s hand.
