I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive - Chapter 603



56. The Insight Fairy that Probes Weaknesses

Magnus, as a wind fairy, showcased her ability—absolute, impenetrable defense—perfectly at this moment. After wrapping her cloak around herself, she faced the torrent of fire from Adev’s advanced black-tech firearms, and when it was all over, not only was she unharmed, but she also managed to keep Ludwig safe!

But now was not the time for me to marvel at how strong the enemy was. Before setting out for the Prussian Kingdom, my fairy queen had warned me: if I encountered Ludwig, it was perfectly acceptable to make a quick escape. But given the current situation, I had no choice but to flee with Kephir.

Originally, Ludwig in the script was just a “wild monster,” but this time she had directly interfered with the main storyline, and I could only adapt to this unexpected turn!

“Kephir, the power of the wind fairy is ‘strong defense.’ It seems Ludwig can directly utilize the existence of fairy powers, so be careful…”

Not to mention, after witnessing the reactions between Kephir and Ludwig, I realized: their grievances could not be settled so easily.

I immediately signaled Adev to retreat with all the “extras,” including myself, away from the core area! Because, no matter how many “helpers” appeared in the protagonist’s script, they would merely be cannon fodder.

【Kephir wants to defeat Ludwig!】

I wouldn’t stop this script of Kephir’s, nor did I have the chance to.

Ludwig, who had already transformed her “great sword” into twin blades, certainly wouldn’t let “Kephir,” the one who didn’t cause her trouble, slip away. In the next moment, she wrapped herself in the black cloak that had become Magnus, and as she raised a sword with one hand, the lazy expression of the past had vanished without a trace.

“Kephir~ I’m so glad~ you finally have such thoughts~”

“……”

“Don’t understand? But acting out these things unconsciously is even better~ Don’t you feel it yet? To pursue clear power relentlessly, to eliminate all obstacles in the way of obtaining that power, is the best way to sharpen the sword. Such growth is much faster than just thinking about men~”

“Nonsense!”

The magic sword Alsace in Kephir’s hand crackled with lightning; she wouldn’t suffer the same loss again this time. The presence before her was the most dangerous of strong foes, the Elven Sword Saint, an unknown danger that had already surpassed the so-called “ninth tier” confinement…

“We are merely protecting the fairies of Pruliss, and I… am just stopping the chaos you’ve caused. The fairy by your side is evidence; you… have teamed up with Nilu, haven’t you?”

“Just working part-time, after all, my hobby is maids. As for her orders, they’re too troublesome, so I can’t be bothered to listen much. The reason I’m here, even to disrupt what seems like troublesome fairies, is to make you a bit more ‘serious.’”

As she spoke, Ludwig’s silver blade suddenly filled with azure moonlight, clearly the power she had taken from the Moon Fairy!

“So, as a qualified ‘opponent,’ let me see how far you’re willing to go for power this time~ Don’t let me…”

“Be too disappointed!”

The overflowing moonlight transformed into a torrent, sweeping away the ashes from where Kephir had just stood, then crashing into the solid wall, creating a deep dent! My plan succeeded, yet it also failed!

I successfully saved Icarus, but unexpectedly gained an uncontrollable factor like Ludwig! She didn’t care whether Icarus was destroyed; she was here for Kephir!

This time, Kephir had no intention of holding back from the start. As she hurriedly dodged the moonlight power from Ludwig’s twin swords, she also conjured a row of cannon-like turrets that spewed forth moonlight, granted by the Moon Fairy!

“You’ve mastered the power of the Moon Fairy quite quickly~”

The dazzling “lasers” were effortlessly slashed down by Ludwig, who then lowered her twin swords, spun, and leaped toward Kephir. Although the roaring lightning briefly passed through Ludwig’s body, perhaps due to Magnus’s presence, Ludwig within the cloak was largely unharmed, directly swinging her sword to force Kephir back several steps.

“Don’t say I’m despicable, okay? Kephir, power is something that should be used when you have it; that’s what makes it power.”

“Do you think… we’re just playing house!?”

The howling ice froze Ludwig’s legs. Although it only trapped him for a moment, it allowed Kephir to regain her composure!

“Exactly! Battle is inherently unfair, and you understand this much better than your teacher. Little Jasmine always complained about fairness; it sounded like such a hassle.”

Wherever I looked, the two shadows had already obscured what they were doing.

Even so, there were some things I could clearly see from the script!

[Ludwig has harnessed Magnus’s power!]

[Kephir’s magic is ineffective against Magnus!]

It was the power of the wind fairy! Although Kephir would never complain about fairness, I couldn’t feel at ease! Because: this Ludwig, just by wielding Magnus, was already able to use the power of the wind fairy. Why was he… able to master it so quickly!?

The chaotic script began to shift in a direction unfavorable to Kephir, and just as I was getting anxious, the insight fairy Icarus, who had been silent since I saved her, finally spoke up.

“Kephir cannot penetrate Magnus’s attacks. In this situation, her chance of winning is… 0.32 percent.”

“I don’t need you to remind me; I can see that!”

What time is it, and you’re still analyzing data? I’m not the type to expect miracles!

“However, there is a way to raise her chance of winning to fifty percent.”

“What!?”

After a brief moment of surprise, I immediately understood what Icarus meant! After all, if what Kephir was experiencing now was a “crisis,” then the script that would allow her to “level up” was right in front of us, wasn’t it!?

“Then I’ll thank you on her behalf; I’ll find her an opportunity!”

The insight fairy Icarus was precisely the ‘treasure’ that Kephir should have in the Kingdom of Pluris! The script had already made it very clear: the power of the insight fairy is the power to “see” everything, and I believe this power can help Kephir see her opponent, to see the “weakness” of the wind fairy Magnus, who was providing absolute defense for Ludwig!

Although Icarus hadn’t agreed to give Kephir her power yet, I couldn’t afford to be polite at this moment!

Focusing on the script, my gaze fell on Kephir. Finally, at the moment Kephir was pushed back by Ludwig’s dual swords, I pushed Icarus out and shouted!

“Kephir, get ready to receive ‘Power’!”

Danger is danger, and accidents are accidents, but… isn’t this precisely the “level-up moment” reserved for the protagonist!?

【Kephir has temporarily gained the power of the Insight Fairy Icaros!】
