Chapter 263 – Chapter 27

The sudden appearance of Akina was something Vanes could not have expected.

She is, in a good or bad way, an aristocratic figure of the Marquis, a figure who pays no attention to anything but her own estates and foreign enemies.

But abandoning the territory and coming alone to help Lillian and the others?

Looking at the firecrackers, it was clear that this was not a sudden reinforcement, but something that had already been planned.

As expected by Vannes, Akina heard about the situation inside Lily through a communication device she had prepared in advance, and then ran out alone at the moment of decisive battle.

“I arrived at the call of the lord. Please forgive the rudeness of riding a horse and being polite.”

Arriving at Lillian’s side, she greeted Lillian and glared at Vannes and Sirin with her sharp eyes.

‘My lord? Akina swears allegiance to Lillian? Why?’

She is not unconditionally loyal because she is aristocrat, but can change her lord according to power, politics, and external situations.

But she’s Akina, and she’s not the type to betray easily just because she doesn’t like her.

Besides, she has nothing to gain from sticking with Lillian.

‘It’s a matter of course. Due to Akina’s personality, she has no choice but to participate in a fight where her master could die.’

Meanwhile, Shirin, who knew better than anyone why Akina turned to Lillian so easily, shook her head.

As expected, Akina bowed lightly to Lillian, then turned her gaze to her Kai Cent.

‘Ah♡ You’ve become more dignified while I haven’t seen you♡’

Even though he was still small and tender, his dignified figure was so lovely that I wanted to hug him right away.

-Akina.-
‘!!’

At that time, Kai Sent sent her electric tone towards Akina.

-Here is Gobi. If you do your best, I’ll listen to what you want!
‘Whatever I want!’

Kaicent’s face froze for an instant as he pulled out a blank check.

No, to be precise, it was because if I didn’t forcefully harden my face, it seemed that my expression would droop with happiness.

‘What I want is… !’

Still, Akina, who had what she wanted from Kai Sent, showed her aggression to give her all.

‘That face. No matter how you look at it, it seems like he attached himself to Lillian because he wanted it. Did the two of them have a relationship that I don’t know about?’
‘I must have been promised a reward.’

Vannes thought that there was something she didn’t know about Akina, who wanted to unleash her powers at any moment.

But Shirin could sense that Kaicent had promised her something.

The dream of statues between those who knew the true nature of Akina Karaiden and those who did not know did not last long.

‘I felt it from afar, but Queen Barnes’ power was overwhelming.’

Wearing a crimson plate, Barnes feels the power that even the strongest who have reached the origin level cannot guarantee victory.

‘Then what can I do?’

“Run!”

Previously, Akina, who rode her new horse instead of her lost favorite horse when she was teleported due to her magical runaway, used her human body gift.

Quagga gag gag gag—-

As she charged in a lance charging stance, the ground was cut away and a magical field that destroyed anything was spread.

“Now!”

At Akina’s cry, those who were confronting Vanes jumped in.

Lilith moved the most promptly.

She fired arrows that moved like a live snake and attacked her face from various angles.

However, since her armor basically had a magic field spread out, the attack that would have killed her instantly if it was an ordinary vampire bounced off in vain.

After that, Kaicent and Jinsua attacked Barnes from both directions.

Judging that the defense of the magic field alone could not withstand the attack of the two, she swung her shield towards Jinsoo and her ax towards Kai Cent.

“Die!”

Artie, who was looking for an opportunity, responded to both sides and rushed towards the front where there was a gap,

Cheer up! Caang!

Vannes’s armor shimmered and a bone protruded from within her armor, blocking Artie’s attack.

“Haha!”

Thinking he was looking for an opening this time, Lillian charged into the vacant space and pierced it with his greatsword.

Her armor made another bone and blocked the point where the greatsword stabbed her.

She was currently the weakest Lillian in the group, but her attacks were not useless.

“Sirin!”
“Akina!”

Akina and Shirin collided while Barnes’ movement was briefly restrained by Lillian’s party’s offensive.

Her spears collided with each other, but she couldn’t nullify the breakthrough power of all her people, so Shirin was pushed back by Akina’s charge and fell apart from Vannes.

“Now then, let’s try a duel that we couldn’t finish before.”
“Did you drop me and my lord? You’re wise.”

Barnes and Sirin have been working together for hundreds of years.

It was the first time they had actually been on the battlefield together, but Akina was instinctively convinced that if the two joined forces, it wouldn’t be a normal 1+1.

That’s why he dragged Shirin in order to decide the match that ended in a draw.

“Here, whoever wins will help their lord. It’s a simple rule, right?”
“Don’t worry, Akina. Even if you die, I’ll beg my lord to accept you as a blood relative.”
“Hmph. There is only one person above me.”

Akina, who glanced at her vaneth, opened her mouth to Shirin with a telephonic-like technique.

“Are you really okay? I have to fight the West?”
“The pain of tearing my heart is unbearable even if I become an undead.”

Shirin can’t be happy about this situation where she has to fight Kaicent.

“However, my loyalty to Shirin-nim does not change. If I kill him here and make him a direct blood relative of the queen, all problems will be resolved.”

A thought that is possible because it is undead.

When Akina learned her attitude, she put on a rather relieved expression.

“It’s fortunate. If I beat you, who was caught in delusion, it would only make me feel bad. Then.”

After opening her distance, Akina poised to charge once more.

“It’s a fair fight.”

Shirin also took her spear, poised to run.

Bang!

The moment the two people’s posture was completed, they shot out at such a speed that even afterimages could not be seen.

Kaka kaka kaka kakang!

The spears of the two created countless trails to attack each other’s bodies.

As if it had ten arms, the number of spears increased, and whenever the spears collided, a shockwave that would tear the eardrums was released.

In the past, the fight between the knights who had not been able to see the match due to an unexpected interference started again.

“You’ve been attacked. You thought you’d cut off the connection between me and Sirin.”

Barnes, who made a distance by defeating Lillian’s party with force, praised Shirin for creating a situation where he could not receive support.

“I don’t like it.”
“Oh my. Why is that?”
“Even in this situation, there is no tension in your voice.”

As Lillian said, she was still not nervous.

“Huh-huh. But it can’t be helped.”

Vannes unexpectedly throws an ax at Lillian.

But Artie, who has superhuman reflexes, swung her sword and knocked her ax away.

-Damage!-

He wanted to parry Vannes’s attack, but Nele Driel, who was concentrating on arranging his unit with barely gained time, pushed Lillian’s body away with his horn.

Chump chump chump!

The shape of the ax that Artie struck spread, and it turned into several sharp awls that reached towards Lillian.

If Neledriel hadn’t pushed it away, he would have died instantly as he was covered in skewers.

“For me, who is the guardian deity who protects the Cameld Kingdom and wears history itself, defeat is impossible.”
– Be careful! The power of that armor is impossible even for me to comprehend!

Rescuing her Lillian, Nele Driel warned her all as she lowered her stance so she could ride on her own back.

That time when everyone was lowering their stance to attack Barnes.

“Hey. Leave this to Kaicent and me.”

Jin-su-ah said she would handle Vannes with only herself and Kai cent.

“What do you mean?”
“Hey, Queen Candidate. I’m going to give you factual violence from now on, so bite your teeth.”

She glared at her Lillian, spitting out the truth about her that she didn’t want to admit.

“You’re just a hindrance.”
“!!”
“In addition, if you die, we all lose, so you have to be escorted.”
“Nice…!”

Faced with the truth she didn’t want to admit, Lillian couldn’t answer her even though she had a look of resentment.

“Lilith’s attack power can’t pierce that woman’s defense, and Dang Seol-yeong’s poison has created a way to destroy it. Artie is a trump card in case of an emergency.”

And although it’s the first time I’ve seen it, Akina, who is one of the strongest people I’ve met in this world, is in the middle of a fierce battle with Shirin.

“If you understand, help Frederick. Making sure the war doesn’t collapse is helping us.”

Lillian wanted to say something against the cheeky Jin Su-ah, but she just opened her mouth and couldn’t say anything.

It was because she felt that she, too, was only in her way.

“Lillian.”

Then Kai Sent, who had been listening quietly to her, opened her mouth to Lillian.

“Leave it to me from here.”
“…Okay.”

When even her chi-cent affirmed Jin Soo-ah’s argument in a gentle way, she couldn’t force herself any further.

Nelle Driel also had the same idea as Jin Soo-ah’s claim, and when she made a decision, she moved to another place without even asking.

“Above. If it’s dangerous, call me anytime.”
“Master. If it’s necessary, you can come to me.”
“Yes. I will.”

I’m more worried about Kai Sent’s safety than Lillian’s, but since her death was Kai Sent’s defeat, she had no choice but to act as her escort here.

With the exception of Jin Soo-ah and Kai-sent, everyone changed places to turn the war in their favor.

Fortunately, a great commotion broke out at the place they were heading to, and the battle situation began to improve one by one.

“Hehe. If I had a pointless pride, things would have been easier.”
“That’s what you say, but it looks pretty good?”
“Because the person who will become my close friend has proven his worth. Letting go of attachments is one of the ways to become a good leader.”

She stretched out her arm towards the multi-stemmed axe, and her stem returned to the axe shape and returned to her hand.

“Then let’s begin. Please, I hope that the power you have is stronger than I expected.”
“For our corpses to be fine?”
“Yes.”
“Haha. We look so damn funny.”

When Jin Soo-ah and Vannes were bickering, Kaicent was looking for a quiet moment to ambush.

“Because if you talk like that and get beaten up, you’ll be embarrassed?”
“If you pretend to be strong like that, you’ll be ridiculed for 200 years.”
“Ha!”

As the provocations of the two continued, Kaicent unexpectedly performed magic.

Bang bang bang!

A series of gigantic explosions centered on Vanes caused the ground to dig out.

Kaicent, who was inflicting a one-sided magic attack, witnessed something shooting out of the explosion and teleported to the instinct level.

As he disappeared, a huge magic cannon exploded in an instant, devastating the place where Kaicent was.

“I wouldn’t recommend long-distance combat. My armor is close to invincible when it comes to magic.”

When the dust disappeared due to the impact of the magic cannon, the figure of Vannes was revealed.

Most of it was her usual appearance, but a mouth with hideous shark teeth protruded from her shoulders.

‘The anti-magic resistance is amazing. Even after pouring so many attacks, there’s not even a burn.’
‘Ultimately, the use of force is the answer.’

Kaicent and Jinsua looked at each other and nodded.

Each raised their weapons and started looking for a suitable position to attack Vannes.

“We’ve accepted it so far, so this time we’ll attack.”
-Luck-dudd-d-d-
-I’m going to go to the middle of the day-

At the same time as Vannes declared an attack, strange words flowed from her mouth on both shoulders.

Then, a strange pattern appeared in a circle behind her back,

Tuhwaaak!

It shot towards Jin Soo-ah at a speed that transcended the laws of physics.

‘Porridge.’

Vannes’s ax appeared in front of her eyes even before Jin Soo-ah had the feeling of dying.

Kaaang!!

Was it because of a sense of crisis?
Or was it because of his awakened fighting spirit?

Jin-soo raised her twin swords with a speed that exceeded the human limit of reaction speed, blocking her ax from flying at her head.

Her twin swordsmanship is the perfect offensive type.

She happened to defend herself, but even in the midst of her defense, she moved her twin swords and attacked, spilling Vannes’ weapon.

However, before her sword even touched her body, Vanes’ body moved at the same speed as before and returned to its original position, easily avoiding it.

‘This… Absurdly strong… !’
‘I didn’t see it properly!’

Kaicent couldn’t move even though he witnessed Jin Soo-ah being attacked.

The two learned why Vannes was so laid-back all the time.

Because, putting on her armor, she becomes a monster capable of destroying the continent alone.
