Chapter 331 – Yggdrasil (5)

“Pierce at the speed of light. Shining Ray.』”

A white laser shot from the fingertips.

The queen’s face also turned white.

“Kyaaak… !”

A high-pitched scream.

The surprise and hostility of everyone except Nariel, who reflexively closed his eyes, is conveyed intact.

I hope you don’t look at me with those eyes.

I wasn’t aiming for Queen Nariel, it was the escort next to her.

“Cuck!”

An escort who knelt down on one knee, clutching at his punctured heart in an instant.

It is armed like a traditional elven guardian with twin swords on both waists and a bow on its back, but… I couldn’t pull out any of them and fell down.

If it’s natural, then it’s natural. Shining Ray is one of the most rapid and precise human killing magics among intermediate magics.

On top of that, he added the mana he had become pure after becoming a high-ranking wizard, the mana dominance obtained through Yonginhwa, the language he was currently training, and the sun god’s favored traits.

While the chant was shortened, the speed and power rather increased, and the grotesque magic was completed.

Wouldn’t this be a bit closer to advanced magic than intermediate?

No matter how much he is an aura expert like a queen’s escort, he is wearing good armor… If I was ambushed with this amount of magic at such a perfect timing, I would have no choice but to fall behind.

“Bloke!”

Another escort drew his twin swords and stood in the way of Nariel. Now I see that Milone and Edda are also targeting me from behind.

Our party also reacts to this, preparing me for battle, and tension rises in the office in an instant.

He looked around in a bloody atmosphere and smiled.

“Why are you looking so serious?”

“You say that! How can Sir Hres…”

An angry queen peeking out from behind the escort. However, it wasn’t that scary because it was such a gentle impression.

He shrugged at her and said.

“You should be more than happy to catch a spy hiding right next to Her Highness.”

“… Yes?”

Nariel tilted her head. But this didn’t last very long.

It was because the guy who pretended to be knocked down jumped up and swung his twin swords at Nariel, as if showing the tenacious vitality unique to a cultist.

A silent yet deadly blow that combines the overflowing aura and seething authority of silence with the momentum to cut down everything it stumbles upon.

Good judgment. By defeating Fiona, I rose to the position of an authority figure in affairs related to cults.

Even if she died quietly like this, it wouldn’t be the queen herself, and the death of the queen’s escort wouldn’t be much of a problem.

I was also the one who revealed the identity of Fiona, who had been hiding better than anyone else. If he’s going to be exposed whether he’s alive or dead, he’s probably trying desperately.

Was it because of the authority of the seething calm, or did he trust his comrades that much? It was a beat late when another escort noticed the approaching sword attack from behind.

I stretch out my sword to try to block it somehow… At this rate, Queen Nariel’s body would be torn to pieces by that powerful aura.

No matter how strong a high elf is, even a queen who is fully protected by the world tree will die when she dies.

Although I won’t let that happen.

Quaang!

A roar as if it were breaking a solid wall rather than cutting a person’s skin. In the meantime, it was blocked by the prepared shield.

Of course, it barely managed to withstand the hastily made shieldra and shattered… I did everything I had to do with it.

“Damn!”

The embarrassed guy spat out curse words and quickly retrieved the sword. Even if you can’t reach instant death, you can feel the tenacity to try to cut it somehow.

However, being prepared for death does not mean that the impossible becomes possible. If you have luck and talent, the story will be different, but…

Apparently, he didn’t have either.

“Hres! You bastard!”

Caan-!

An escort who somehow manages to stop the grass from reaching Nariel with a look of betrayal.

Taking advantage of that gap, I threw the shining lion dagger with telekinesis.

Wedge-Ae-Ae-!

Even if everything is a false assassin, the guy who reacts quickly as if the level of being a sword expert was real.

The aura rose fiercely as if burning the whole body. Focusing on defense, not attack, the Aura Expert boasts the strength of a tank, but that is only when the body is in good shape.

Through the hole in the heart, the aura that should be circulating throughout the body leaks like crazy.

The flames of the aura that densely wrapped around the body went out, and another escort took advantage of the gap to swing his sword.

Tuong-

Hres’ arm flung out powerlessly and a vital part clearly exposed.

“Damn it.”

Hres, who had been stabbed in the neck for nothing, glared at me with a resentful expression. He tried to say something while biting in a foam of blood.

Flash!

Before that, the top of his neck was blown off by an additional blow from the dagger.

Well, I’m guessing it’s a rough curse, like the cultists who died at my hands so far. It’s something you don’t even need to hear.

His headless body falls to the floor, and pools of red blood pool on the luxurious carpet.

A situation where no one can open their mouth easily and only looks at me.

He said scratching the back of his head in embarrassment.

“Excuse me. If I see a cultist, I have a chronic disease of attacking them, so that’s enough.”

“…”
“…”
“…”

It was a joke, but nobody laughed.

***

“Why? Why are you looking at me like that…”

“You’re not asking because you don’t know, master?”

“As expected, was it too radical to explode the head? You can see the shock. Next time, I’ll prepare a magic that will rip the inside out rather than pierce the heart neatly.”

“… I also like the slightly shameless owner.”

She turned her gaze away from Karla’s half-resigned words.

After catching her rat and completing the original request for support. I saw Nariel squatting in the corner of the office, which had been tidied up after removing the body and wiping off the bloodstains.

The one remaining escort isn’t dangerous anymore, but they’re keeping their eyes open and vigilant.

Milone was squatting beside her, Nariel, calming her frightened woman.

I’m not sure what it’s called because there’s quite a distance… She looked at Milone’s face, which unraveled each time she stroked Nariel’s shoulder and straightened her pink hair.

The fact that her complexion, which had become dull due to her tiredness, brightened in real time. The dark circles are still there, but the fierce eyes are getting rounder. The corners of his mouth, which had been bluntly hardened, became soft.

All looked smart.

While watching the two of them with a happy heart, Fei, who had been snooping next to her, clung to her and put her lips to her ear.

Thanks to her reckless chest, it was a desirable phenomenon that her chest touches her shoulder first rather than putting her hand on her earlobe, but Fei whispers firmly.

“Brother. Speaking of those two, isn’t the atmosphere somehow strange?”

“How specifically?”

“If it’s the queen and the prime minister, aren’t they the ones who lost the real power and the ones who usurped it? I thought it would be a bit rougher… How to say It’s so affectionate.”

“I am affectionate. Well, it can.”

“Can you? Are they of the same sex?”

“Yes. It can be.”

“?”

Faye blinked quickly as if she didn’t understand my stern answer.

I can’t tell you why here, but I’m really right. That would be too… Milone likes Nariel. In a romantic sense.

Of course, Nariel is so ignorant and she is naive, so she thinks Milone is just a good person… It’s also a matter of time.

That coupling was also quite famous at H&A. Players who fell in love with her unique character and tried to seduce Milone, and not one or two people tried to capture Nariel, seduced by her cotton candy-like appearance.

In the process, some unusual conditions were discovered.

Surprisingly, the condition that it is impossible to attack with male characters…

So if I make it female at the start, can I get into the root? Of course. However, there is no single route between Milone and Nariel. I had to attack both at the same time.

A character where you can feel the firm will of the production team not to let men infiltrate the lily in the past… I thought.

I know now that I heard the whole truth in Fafnir’s Lair.

It’s just that Nariel still doesn’t know her own identity, and since they’re both steadfast lesbians and lesbians, there’s no other possibility…

It’s been a while since he tickled Fay’s chin and played with him, who grumbled that he didn’t know why.

Did the consolation end in the meantime? Nariel, who was blushing at the thought of being rude, and Milone, who had a subtle expression of relief, satisfaction, and a little guilt, approached.

“First of all, thank you for catching a spy we didn’t even know about. Thanks to that, we were able to pass a major threat without anyone getting hurt.”

“Go, thank you…”

Milone bowed her head in a fluent tone of thanks. Even with his head down, he still looks cool.

And Nariel looked at Milone with envy and nodded her head in a hurry.

As I look at the two of them, a part of my heart tickles. Maybe that’s why the coupling between the two was popular among some users.

I’m not interested in lilies that I can’t intrude, so I’m just wondering if that’s the case.

“No big deal. I just did what I had to do.”

“… The rumors are true.”

“Is it a rumor?”

“Duke Lindelheit says that you can tell a cult by looking at them.”

“It wasn’t to that extent, but… It’s not wrong anymore.”

Having seen the Nariel assassination event at H&A, I was well aware that someone was sneaking around.

But I didn’t know who it was. Moreover, there was not one escort, but two.

So, the reason I was able to distinguish the assassin this time was thanks to the cultist detection feature I got from defeating Fiona.

Until now, did Rebecca catch me before she even came near me, or did I just not let her go?

There’s no way for the cultist detection to activate, but I was giving a signal with this feeling.

While reflecting on the feelings of the time. Nariel, who was mumbling while looking at me and Milone, widened his eyes.

“Ah!”

Then, he clapped his hands loudly and shouted.

“Come to think of it, the circulating life told me to bring a guest! So I came, but I forgot!”

“Me? What the hell are you doing?”

“I didn’t hear much, but… It won’t be a bad thing. He said he had a present.”

“Let’s go right away.”

Did a set of the World Tree series come out?!
