Chapter 154 – One Step From Hell

“Over there!”

“Teleportation!”

Back in front of the magic circle,
The scenery you see is the abyss itself.

“Cuckoo. Hold on. Kiruk.”
“Monstrous, monstrous, monstrous, rororororo, woah, woah, woah, woah!!!!”

Tuck! Kwak! Wooddeuk, jeop jeop jeop!!

“Knock. It’s ugly. Kkeuk.”
“Outside outside outside the outside, Lororororo!

The two tentacle monsters run wild.
Most of the human forces are steadily attacking the tentacles.
Devot and Jacques and Ludwig are there in the corner
With the moving castle open, he is concentrating only on defense.
There will be no end to this

“Princess. Can you teleport right into that magic circle?”

“No. Movement is blocked.
You have to get close and destroy the djinn with magic.
It cannot be done through physical force.”

“Stop by Lord Devot, let’s help counterclockwise.
There are three wizards including me, Ludwig, and the princess.
We have to join forces.
Teleport me to the side of Sir Devot.”

“Now I don’t have much magic left.
… Be careful.”

After seeing my actions earlier, Princess Stella’s voice sharpened.

“Yes.”

Shush!

“What?!”

Shuuk! Caang!

“Zach! It’s me, Kamuda!”

As soon as you teleport and appear next to Devot
I almost died from Zach’s sword attack!
How futile is it if you die from a misleading attack?

“Oh, sir! Be surprised
Show some signs and move!!”

“Okay, sorry. I’m keeping this too.
It’s an extra class special.”

“… It’s Bellondel.
… You cut it after all.”

“Master also told me to do whatever I want.
The one who drew the knife first.”

“That… No.
You did a really good job. Leader.
Your achievements are legendary now.”

“It’s too much.
Devot, get some attention from the humans.
Not a tentacle monster.
Ludvik. When I signal, to that magic circle
Blow strong magic You have to break through the magic circle.”

“Captain. Would it be possible?
Right now, the royal magicians and priests are killing each other near the magic circle.
There is no way until you put them away.”

“Listen to the tentacle monster.
The eyes of the monsters must be focused on the Royal Knights and the Templars.
Now when one more pillar of light rises,
The gold dragon summoning begins.
I do not have time. Go right away!”

“Good luck.”

Tat tat!

With Princess Stella in a swaddle,
Run towards the magic circle.
Run counterclockwise across the shrubbery
Approach to some extent.
But when I go near the magic circle, I get caught without any countermeasures.

“What, that bastard! STOP!!”

“Magic Missile!!”

“Frost Ring!”

Run zigzag to avoid the green light rays,
Ice ring extending from the right
Avoid with a full-body jump.

And Ludvik’s support attack that follows.

“Fire Wall!!”

Roaring!!

“Aaaaagh!!”

“Oh, no! Over there!
There is a wizard hiding inside the armor!!”

Ludvik was caught.
A wall of fire engulfs some wizards and priests,
I spurt out tongues of fire to keep the soldiers from coming to me.

Good.
Eliminate the wizards and priests on this side of the wall of fire,
Just unlock the magic circle!!

“Acceleration! Cat’s steps!”

Self-hypnosis, muscle strengthening!
Strengthen muscular endurance!
Cardiorespiratory Endurance Enhancement!

Magic, Taoism, and even hypnosis.
Apply the buff again and run to the limit.

“Hurry! Throw it!!”

Looking closely, someone wearing a blue robe and a hood gave instructions.
Wizards put chests and treasures full of gold coins in magic circles.
Stack next to Princess Anne.

Squeak.

The purple aura that spreads from within the magic circle
Secretly wraps around the treasures.
The dragon beyond the summoning magic circle is checking the sacrifice.

Five pillars of light.
Summons are imminent.

“Quick, throw quickly!”

… The woman wearing that blue robe.
Looking closely, I saw that she was wearing a fancy dress under a robe.
Gorgeous platinum blonde hair exposed outside.
That… !

“Catherine yiyin!!!!”

To the roar that erupted from behind my back
I flinch without even realizing it.
Thank god.
You haven’t taken the herb out of your ear yet?
I almost went deaf.
Have to take it off now

“S-Stella?! How are you here!!”

“Shut up!!!
How dare you protect my dad and sister!!!!
This dog bitch!!!
Stay there and wait!”

“Yes, you bitch!
Wash your neck and stay still!!!”

I’m definitely helping
It cuts down priests and wizards outside the magic circle.

“Ugh, ugh!”

“The protection of the sun!!”

“Death Blow!”

The shield is fixed.
Since the point is fixed,
The death blow, which puts full weight and speed on it, hits easily.

Doo doo doo… Quaang!

A rushing slash hits,

Fain!

The priest’s shield is broken.

“Sick Princess Ooh!!! Wait!!!
We are going!!!”

“Sister Yii!!! Wait a minute!!!”

I really do my best.
Even if the race is different
Was kind to me,
For a sick princess.

“Stellar… Mr Kamu…”

Anne smiled sadly at us.

Quack!

But Queen Catherine, who was by her side,
Take off her hood and grab Anne’s hair.

“Do not be ridiculous!
A bitch who dares to stand in my way!
Tell them to become a dragon’s meat urinal!!
Or not… Breakfast would be nice too!
Haha!
How did my husband taste?
Now you can even taste the dragon?!”

“Shut up!! You bitch!!!”

Stella exclaims furiously at Catherine’s sarcasm.

“Ice rings!”

“Ice Missile!”

The magic of the royal wizards rushes at me,

“After!”

“Teleportation!”

Shush! Shushuk!!

At my back, Amity has the best authority on teleportation magic.
Just as we matched in the Battle of Bellondel,
It flies right behind the attacking mages.

Hooked! Spaw!

“Heuk!”

“Ouch!!”

Tidy up in no time
Queen Catherine screams at the sight.

“Kyaaaaa!!! Sister Agnes!!! Come fast!!”

Sister Agnes? Who is it?
I point my sword at the center of the magic circle.

“Lud Viiik!! Shoot!!
In the middle of the magic circle!!”

Send a signal.

“Hell Fire!”

Aaaaang!!!

Originally, it was a 4th stage fire magic, and the effect compared to the amount of magic used was bad.
However, since the magic circle is large, it receives the wide-area damage intact.
Also a flame-type special judge.
The hit range is wide, so make good use of the high efficiency.

“”Dispel!!””

Ludvik’s attack magic and me and Stella’s magic cancellation.
There must have been a hole in the magic circle because the three magics overlapped!!

“After!”

If you teleport inside… !

“… Not yet! I didn’t get it!! I can’t get the coordinates!!”

“What?!”

At Stella’s
I run through a cloud of dust that rises up.
You still haven’t gotten it?

I soon realized why.

“It was close.
I’m back, Your Highness.”

No way… !
Come to think of it, the blind nun hasn’t been seen since a while ago!!

A blind nun blinded by a silver guide in a cloud of dust
She held out her left arm, which did not hold her long scythe.
Was forming a barrier.

This… !!

“Sister Agnes, handle it!”

After Catherine’s words,

Blood shot!!

The last 6th purple ray shoots up into the sky,

“You guys end here too.”

Blind nun Agnes quietly holds out a transparent marble.

“That… No way… !!!”

Agnes, dressed in a silver nun’s uniform, spat out words nonchalantly.

“Valkyrie Armor, Saint On.”

Flash!!

A dazzling light surrounds Sister Agnes,

Chark.

Instead of a nun’s uniform and a nun’s cap
Armed with a white leotard, a pair of wings, and a garter belt
A black-haired female warrior appeared.

This… Damn it!

To make matters worse, a change took place within the magic circle.

Ugh… Ugh… !!

The purple energy swallowed the gold coins and treasures and disappeared to the ground.
And under the seat where Princess Anne stood
A hole like an endless darkness was formed.

“Aaaaa!! Sister!!! Nope!!!
Teleportation!! Teleportation!! Why, why not! “

“Sick Princess!! Just be patient!! I’ll try to do something!!!
Stella!! Set the coordinates behind that fake angel!!”

Stella and I cry,

“Kyahahaha!!! Bugs!!!
Where will you see how long you hold on to vain hopes?
How are you, Ann?
Your brother and that herbalist are so mad,
Why don’t you shout “Fighting”~~?”

Only Catherine’s sarcastic voice resonated within the magic circle.

Shushuk!! Kacan!! Visor!
Shush! Kaga go go go!!

Even if I aim at the back with continuous teleportation,
Sister Agnes pushed me with her incredible physicality.
Just like Angela in Valkyrie armor broke her arm in her arm wrestling.
In the first place, I, exhausted from the series of battles,
It’s not an opponent to do.

Ann shed tears quietly as she was tied to the rope.

“Thank you… Everyone.
… I wrote a lot.
Thanks, Stella.
I really… Loving… My little brother…”

Eventually, a purple aura spread out from under the magic circle.
Wrap around Anne like an ominous hand,
Slowly, slowly… I was dragged down into the darkness of the floor.

“Aaaaa!!! Nope!! Sister Hey!!!
I’ll save you!! I will definitely save you!!! Wait!!!
Kamu Ball! Jebaal!!”

Kagagakak!!!

“You’re holding up pretty well.
But what about this?”

Kirik.

Sister Agnes twists the middle of her tall scythe.
Her scythe is separated,

Tsuzuzu… !

Blades also grow on her handlebars,
Replaces with two medium-length scythes.

“Second-level magic tool, ‘harvest scythe’.
Calling the second form.
You admit it.”

Whoops, whoops.
I don’t have enough stamina or magic power, but an unfamiliar weapon…
Besides, if I had to… Little by little, the length of the limbs is decreasing…
In the past, I just dismissed it as a side effect of magical power…
I know these symptoms now.

When Dark Blood holders begin to run out of magic power
Bodily reactions that occur.
Like when Rumika came to my herbalist,
I am getting younger too.

Hoo-wook, Heo-eok.
In magic tournaments and battles, I tend to rely on swordsmanship and taijutsu.
I’ve never had my mana run out like this…
When I felt depleted, Master recharged my mana.

Seven maps were too big a variable to summon.
It’s a national treasure artifact…

“I’m Princess Anne!!!”

Whoops!!

Devot came running and threw a spear, but

Tup!

“!!!”

Sister Agnes did not change a single expression on her face.
The ‘fingers’ of her scythe-clasped hand snatched her spear… !!

“Oh, no!”

“Users can’t keep up with Artifact’s performance.”

Whoop!! Booung!!

As Sister Agnes pulled out her spear,
Devot being dragged along the wire.
No, I’m deliberately using the enemy’s power to rush!!

“Haaaaa!!”

Devot rushes in and activates the moving castle.
Inflate the armor.
The swollen armor parts clump together like a fist and stretch out!

Booooong!

Tup.

“!!”

Sister Agnes put out her foot and blocked her man-sized fists of steel,

Quaang!

‘Stomp’ on one’s feet

… Valkyrie Armor.
I know it’s a fraudulent performance, but…
That’s really too high.

“I see you’re working hard, so I’ll do my best.”

Jjoong!!

In front kick of Sister Agnes,
Devot flew through the air with his shield on and landed somewhere.

“Phoenix’s…”

Fuck!

Ludvik, who was secretly hiding and trying to throw a pitom,
Approaching with a single flap of her wings, flying with one blow of her fist,

“Under!”

Visor!

Sneak up on the side
Zach, who aimed at her side, is also easily blocked.

Poof!

A middle kick from Sister Agnes over her defense.

Blah-billion! Cudangtang!!

“Turn it off…”

Jacques was blown away and imprisoned in one shot.

“After!”

Shush!

Take advantage of this opportunity to teleport back!
Deathblow on the back…

Jjoong!

“Big… !”

With the back of the hand holding the scythe, without looking back
You hit me in the back!!

I flew through the air even though I was hit on top of the baby commander’s armor
On the floor… You can’t get stuck in it!!!
You’re carrying a little princess on your back?!?!

“Aww!”

Convulsively turn over,
Miraculously falls forward.
Front line fallout fishing!!!

Kwadangtang!! Supportive!!!

“Big… !!”

It feels like my arms and legs on the floor are getting crushed.

“Kyahahahaha~~!!!
Our poor Anne!
I’m struggling to save you
You should say hello~~?”

I want to rip the mouth of that crazy bitch who is sarcastic.

Ann…
Suddenly, up to her chest, into the darkness of the floor
It is sinking.

“Thank you… Even if it’s the last time, I…”

“What is the last thing to freeze to death?!?!
Sick princess, I promise you!!
I’m going to save you!!
I!!
I’m going to save you even to the end of hell!!!
I’m waiting for you!!!”

“Sister!! Me too!! I’ll go too!! Wait!!!”

Squeak.

Princess Anne’s face descended into darkness… Sinking,

Flash!! Push! Push shot!!!

Six beams of light flashed,

“Kyahahahaha!!! Come, Guardian Dragon!!!
To me, your contractor, Katherine Amitie!!
Give strength to the rightful queen!!”

Ugh… !!

A magic circle like the one on the ground is drawn in the sky,

Crow, roll, roll, roll, roll!!!!

The dragon… I slowly stick my head out of the magic circle.
A majestic roar unparalleled in the world,
Echoes in the air

“Oh my god… Oh my god… Sister…
I’m sorry, I’m sorry sister…”

Princess Stella weeping on her back
Pat on the head

“Don’t worry. Little princess.
I had a wonderful idea.”

“Hey, hehe… Uh, what… ?”

I can’t see the expression of the star princess on my back,
I know you’ll look at me astonishingly while weeping.

I don’t know if it will be me or not.
The important thing is to make it happen.

“Catch Queen Catherine.”

“What? Heck, that’s it, hehe, what… ?”

“A contract with the dragon is not a contract with the country.
It is a contract between individuals.”

So the previous demon king died
The black dragon, Karamit, goes straight to the demon realm.
Didn’t you go back?
It’s not a contract with the demon king,
It’s a contract with the former Demon Lord personally.
When the contractor dies, they return.

“Of course you can’t kill me.
Because if the dragon goes back, Anne can’t be recovered.
… Take Katherine hostage,
Exchange with Anne.”

“?!?! Saying that now… ?!
Even that nun couldn’t do it, so we…”

“I have no choice but to do it.
If the dragon returns to its lair like this
Do you know what to do with Ann?
This is the only way to get the sickly princess back.
Or kill the dragon.”

I try to stay calm, but my legs are shaking.
Sister Agnes also heard the dragon’s roar,
Now looking into the sky with invisible eyes.
You have to decide right now.

“I just said it.
You promised
I’m going to save you even to the end of hell.
Therefore…”

Master. Lumica. Angela. And Marie.

Sorry.
Just saying I’m sorry all the time
For always doing things I’m sorry for
I’m really sorry.

“I do it. Trust me.
I will definitely bring you.”

Let’s take it one step further.
To hell.
Now… One step to hell.
Today I.
Crossing the death line again.
