The “Master swordsman” who was reincarnated, wants to live freely - Chapter 146

“Huh…….we’re getting by for now.”

I let out a small sigh and let myself relax a little.

There was no sign of Lusa nearby – at least not as a magician, she was probably the best I’ve ever fought.

If I hadn’t been caught off guard when I blocked her attack, the battle might still have continued.

The only defensive technique that I used with the 《Silver Spirit Sword》 was the 《Silver Flash Shield》. It was a release of the magic power sealed inside the sword, and instead of calling out the Silver Spirit Sword itself, it was used to prevent the sword from bursting out with magic power.

This was also a technique that he could use, but this was the first time he had actually used it in a real battle.

I thought that if it worked, the attack would reach her, but…… it was still not easy.

In the end, I was able to use Return Air to deal some damage.

‘The Invisible’ wasn’t in range to reliably kill it, though, so I had to use a magic I don’t often use.

After the battle, the knights behind me, including Cashel, collapsed to the ground.

“You’re saved……?”

“Haha, you’re shortening your life span…….”

It would be unreasonable to expect them to move immediately in such a state.

I stand in front of the collapsed Cashel.

“Can you stand up? Miss Cashel.”

“Oh, ooh,… I’m sorry……. But was it magic that prevented Lusa’s attack earlier…?”

“It’s a secret.”

Even they, who were waiting behind me, could see the silver glow.

However, I didn’t take out the Silver Spirit Sword – in some cases, I could have considered releasing it, but this time I was able to get away with it.

However, if there were several other mages of the same class as Lusa, it might have been necessary to release…… silver spirit sword.

For the time being, we succeeded in getting rid of Lusa, and that was good enough for me.

“Well, Lady Cashel. There are a few things I need to ask you.”

“…….”

Cashel’s expression darkened at my words.

Lusa said she was the head of the Blue Faust, a “magical cult”. In addition, Cashel is not a “he” but a “she”……, both of which are probably true, judging from the exchange we just had.

Let’s talk about it in detail after we break the wards – just when I was thinking that, the wards covering the sky suddenly cracked.

The wards collapsed as if they were crumbling away, and I saw a clear sky.

Apparently, the attack on the four locations had been completed almost simultaneously.

You can still see the demons flying a little further away, but the knights will take them down soon.

“I think I know what you want to hear……. I’m sure I’ll have to explain to you what’s going on. There’s not much I can tell you, though.”

Cashel said to herself. – The fact that she had been betrayed, as Lusa had said.

As the head of Blue Faust, she is a decoration, and this incident was caused by the people of the organization on their own……. That’s how it should be.

However, the words and actions of Lusa are a bit questionable.

Why did she have to speak in front of me?

There was no need to explain, and if she was going to abandon Cashel, it would have been more reliable to go after her in a hurry.

This makes me wonder to what extent Haylon, the leader of the Knights of the Holy Armor, is aware of this fact.

I’m sure he would have cooperated with me if this ward had been broken.

“We’ll secure the area first. We’ll talk afterward. Is that alright with you?”

“……Oh. That’s fine. Are you sure you don’t want to go to Iris?”

“I’ll be there in a while. But I don’t think it’s time to let my guard down.”

“…… Oh, really?”

Unlike before, I couldn’t hear any energy in her voice.

For Cashel, the fact that she was betrayed by her trusted subordinate might be too much.

Until the knights are able to move satisfactorily, I’ll work to secure the area.

As long as the wards are broken, the town is safe for now, but it will be treated as a…… large-scale “terrorist incident”.

If Cashel is complicit in this, then the Ramberg family will first of all be removed from the list of candidates for the “king” – or is that what they are aiming for? There is no answer to this question when I think about it, but it seems that this country is in a very fishy state, as Remyll said.

And I’m sure that Iris is one of the people at the center of it.

Without needing my assistance, Iris seems to have defeated one of the magicians manipulating the wards.

She may have collaborated with Mariel.

However, it also reminds me of what Chloe had said.

Mariel is trying to test Iris. For that purpose, she borrowed a sword from the Knights.

I don’t know what kind of sword she borrowed, but at least I know a lot about her abilities.

Her tone is usually calm and gentle, and she is elusive, but when it comes to her sword skills, she is one of the top people I know.

Iris is certainly growing up, and she’s getting better – now she’s finally good enough to be a good competitor.

But I was the one who admonished Chloe to trust Iris.

So I’ll do what I have to do.

Because I believe that the Iris of today will be able to pull through.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
