24. My ultimate move is to summon a wife!

I had been waiting for evidence of the counterfeit Euclid’s “self-detonation.” Finally, at the moment when I was being choked by an invisible force, the suffocation nearly causing me to lose consciousness, I lured it into saying it! After all, saving Icusis is important, but having a backup plan for myself is equally important!

Then, I wouldn’t have to suffer so much!

“Alsace!”

The ice fairy I called out swiftly flew out. In this situation, dear Miss Alsace showed no signs of hesitation or shyness, directly planting a kiss on my cheek! Then, the snowflakes fell, and the magic sword appeared in my hand, aimed straight at the opponent’s vital points!

The opponent immediately raised their hand to block, leaving a blood mark on their arm, and the invisible force choking my neck vanished in an instant!

“Woman!?”

“It’s your grandma!”

Alsace took control of my body and gave the opponent the middle finger, then with a swift motion, like a cat, she landed gracefully after a flip, the area she had just swept turned into an icy surface, and just as the opponent attempted to pursue, it exploded into countless small but sharp fragments!

A transparent floating sphere suddenly appeared beside the opponent, and thanks to the purple halo emitted by this fortune-telling-like object, the fragments were all shattered to pieces! After all this, the counterfeit was evidently enraged by my actions, their previous smugness gone!

“You…”

Before finishing the sentence, they abruptly halted, after all, with Alsace’s pose, it certainly looked like I was about to unleash some “ultimate move”! Perhaps startled by the earlier injury, they became more cautious of me, and the counterfeit, holding a yo-yo, suddenly dared not approach!

[Euclid dares not approach!]

And this gave me an opportunity!

“Alsace, let’s hit it big!”

The surrounding ice and snow surged, and in an instant, the icy wind howled, as if some ultimate move capable of affecting the environment was about to be unleashed from my magic sword—ice fairy Alsace, using my body to unleash it!

Then, as the blizzard that could almost obscure vision slowly dissipated, I ignored the opponent’s tense attitude, but… there was no significant ultimate move that emerged! The only thing I did was to immediately dash over to the Saint Icusis’s side, watching this fool squatting on the ground, holding their head as if encountering the apocalypse, staring at me in fear that I might use some ultimate move and “accidentally injure” her!

[Icusis is very afraid of the ultimate move used by Euclid!]

[Icusis is surprised by Euclid’s appearance!]

What are you afraid of!? I never intended to use any real ultimate move from the beginning!

Not to mention that in my current state, I can only hold on like Ultraman for a while, more importantly, I’m not even sure if this golden three minutes will allow me to resolve the threat in front of me! Even if I miraculously counter-killed, what if I ended up lying on the ground like a dead pig? I can’t expect Icusis to carry me back, right?

So what I needed to do from the start was to scare the opponent a bit and ensure the safety of this fool Icusis! I just made the special effects a bit too dramatic.

The counterfeit, realizing this as well, immediately chased after me in a fit of rage! I don’t know if it was because of the urgency, but this time its voice was no longer male, but a… familiar female voice to my ears !

“It seems you really are tired of living…”

[‘Euclid’ is determined to eliminate Euclid!]

The death script remains, which also indicates that I have no chance even while possessing Alsace. However, my goal has been achieved; the saintess is under my protection. As for what comes next…

“Am I clear about being tired of living? And as for you, the impostor, do you really think I’m just trying to scare you?”

“What…”

“My big move… has already been unleashed.”

Does this fool not know that some big moves take effect with a delay and have lasting effects?

In the next moment, Alsace flew out of my body, and at the same time, the impostor’s figure suddenly froze. After all, behind her, a visible danger was already approaching!

“Are you the one attacking the saintess in the name of Euclid? You have quite the nerve…”

【Kefir is very angry after discovering the opponent’s disguise!】

Look, of all the people to imitate, why choose to impersonate me and do bad things, then throw the blame on me? Isn’t that just poking at Kefir’s biggest sore spot?

Kefir, who finally arrived, had already taken Alsace and appeared behind the impostor. The second round of the summit was about to begin, and we needed to return immediately to prove “Euclid’s innocence.” Kefir, who was equally aware of this, had no intention of hesitating for a moment and was not interested in knowing what the impostor disguised as Euclid looked like beneath all those layers of shadow!

So in the next instant, Kefir struck without any mercy! This time, it was no longer the “snowing” level of my previous antics, all show without substance!

A fierce snowstorm erupted! The hard ice directly sealed off the impostor’s escape route! The moment the opponent attempted to float away to choose a “favorable terrain,” the sword’s edge had already caught up. Before anyone could blink, cracks began to appear around the sphere floating beside the impostor, then with a “bang,” it shattered, sending her flying back to crash against the ice wall!

And I had no intention of just watching the show! As Kefir faced her first enemy, I needed to help her quickly grasp the situation! Then we could settle things and leave! So even though Ikusis was right beside me, staring at Kefir with her mouth agape, I had no choice.

Coincidentally, since she wanted to pin the blame on me, I also wanted to take a good look at the impostor’s true colors.

“Kefir, this person is female, a witch using dark magic. From what I can see, she’s at least sixth tier! But dark magic has many variations; you can’t just look at the standards…”

“Next, she’s going to use control-type magic. Alsace, block for your master!”

I poured all the information I had gathered from the script into Kefir, and this completely accurate content almost caused the impostor to be caught off guard and have her throat pierced by Kefir’s sword!

I don’t know if it was because of this, but the opponent even began to have second thoughts about fighting back! Turning around, she used the sphere at her side to create a space, and when she reappeared, she was already far out of our sight!

Kefir, infuriated by the “impostor,” wanted to chase after her, but I stopped her.

“Kefir, don’t chase! First, take the saintess to the summit! The queen is still waiting for us!”

“…Okay.”

“Your Highness the Saintess, why are you still dazed? Hurry up! It looks like the summit has already started!”

From the script I just read, the identity details of the fleeing impostor sounded familiar, but this was not the time to ponder. The immediate goal was to bring the unscathed saintess Ikusis back to clear the queen’s name and also… to prove Euclid’s innocence!

I grabbed the arm of the still stunned Ikusis and ran.
