There were many poisonous forests in the land of the Arcalin family.

Even if they are the Calderon family, one of the five great families, giving away valuable land is a different story.

Draken advanced, crushing the flesh zombies blocking the forest path.

I followed him and traced Libra’s traces.

The dagger she used had a short blade, so the flesh zombies she killed were clearly visible.

“It’s over there.”

It wasn’t long before we found Libra.

As the Marquisares were not far away, it didn’t take long for her to find him either.

“… Wait. Stop for a moment. Something seems strange. ”

Libra was standing in the middle of the forest, staring blankly into space as if her soul had left her.

Draken slowly approached her.

“Hey, are you okay?”

“… … .”

Libra, who discovered Draken, slowly turned her head towards him.

As Libra’s empty eyes caught sight of Drakken, she drew her dagger.

“It seems like your worries were true. First, we have to stop that kid.”

“… … Please help me survive.”

“Is there a way to break the mind control?”

“If I can subdue her, I can release her.”

To break the mind control, you must defeat the Marquisares who used the mind control, but there is another way.

[Guardian Oath Ring] obtained by defeating the Guardian.

If she can just put this legendary item on her hand, she can also break the mind control.

With Draken’s skills, it would be possible to subdue Libra.

“Cain Calderon. Why don’t you draw your sword? ”

Draken stabbed me where it hurt.

Why don’t you draw your sword?

That’s because no matter how hard I try, I can’t put magic into my swordsmanship.

My fighting power using the Heart Sword is at the level of a farmer who works out too hard.

From the knight level, everyone can infuse magic into their swordsmanship, and their destructive power is incredible.

But it’s something I can’t tell you the truth.

“… … If I use my power, she dies.”

“What is that… … ”

Kang-

At that moment, Libra attacked Drakken.

“The story will come later. I’m not confident in putting my hands on it.”

Draken let out a short sigh as if he was dumbfounded, but soon drew up his magical power.

Even though he has a human form, he is truly a dragon, and he puts his own breath into the sword.

The heat emanating from the blazing sword began to heat up the surrounding area.

“It looks like it’s hard to subdue the body.”

Libra was the first to move.

The movements that were usually visible were fast enough, but now it was difficult to follow them with the eyes.

It seems like she is pushing her body to the limit with her unique trait [Libra].

Libra slowly dodged Drakken’s sword and slowly ate away at his health.

When the blazing sword blade, shaped like a dragon, brushed against her body, her skin turned red.

“… … Did it also have healing powers?”

Minor wounds and such were completely healed by her unique characteristics.

Drakken was limiting his power so as not to kill her, but he still did not give in easily.

Even Libra’s dagger, which moved in a flurry, could not touch his body at all.

However, that does not mean her actions were meaningless.

The experience of fighting someone who was overwhelmingly stronger than her was not an easy one, so her dagger became sharper the more she fought.

As the dagger slashed past Idraken’s face and cut through the air, the second dagger soon reached Idraken’s neck.

The faster it gets, the more you have to give up.

Libra’s dagger had no magical power.

A herbivore without magic power is only half-baked.

Such attacks cannot even cause a small wound to the body of the dragon Indraken.

Drakken didn’t think there was any need to dodge, but he still dodged the dagger by turning his neck.

Instead of having a lifespan, gods and dragons sustain themselves by dividing their own existence into nutrients.

Even if there was a small wound on his body, it would drain his vitality, so even that would be a waste.

at that time.

Hurrah!

Suddenly, a purple flame rose from the tip of Libra’s dagger.

It wasn’t that the dagger couldn’t contain magic power.

Paint. A trick to make Draken let his guard down.

It was truly an assassin-like thought, but even this came as a fresh shock to Draken.

It was a new type of thing that could not be seen in the fight between transcendent beings.

Drakken dodged the dagger with a short whim, but if he hadn’t, he would have lost a lot of his presence.

From Draken’s perspective, who is preparing for the final war with God, every single bit of his existence is precious, but he almost suffered great losses from an unexpected source.

“That’s fun!”

Draken felt his body heating up for the first time in a long time.

He even forgot the purpose of the battle and started swinging his sword with the flow.

An explosive burst of magical power erupted, burning all living things in the vicinity.

But the battle did not last long.

Libra. She has placed her physical abilities and Draken’s physical abilities on Libra as her unique trait.

There is a huge gap in the physical abilities of the two.

While maintaining polymorph, Draken’s physical abilities were significantly reduced, so Libra was able to balance his physical abilities with her own.

However, that only lasts for as long as the remaining magic power allows.

As all the remaining magical power in her body was used up, her body began to turn red from the overload of magical power.

“… It’s too bad. If it had bloomed a little more, it would have been a good match. ”

Kang-

The dagger of Libra, struck by Drakken’s sword, flew into the sky.

Libra immediately jumped back to gain some distance, but she was running out of magic power and couldn’t keep up with Drakken’s speed.

Her body sagged with a thud.

“It’s a mild faint. Don’t worry. ”

Draken looked at me and said.

“… I only receive help from Kyung.”

” It’s done. Rather than that, try to release the mind control. ”

Instead of answering, I walked towards Libra.

Since she’s an assassin, she may have pretended to faint, but she’s still in Drakken’s hands, so you can rest assured.

“No, no, no. Child. You follow me.”

At that moment, I heard a voice like a swarm of bugs behind me.

Archbishop Marquisares!

I immediately jumped back to put some distance between me and him.

However, the Marquisares were faster.

“Come with me to Him!”

Zwww!

Marquisares shot a black magic with an ominous aura towards me.

[!] Mental attack detected.

-The Guardian’s Oath Ring resists mental attacks.

-The protective film is damaged, causing a temporary reduction in output.

-If you are continuously exposed to the same magic power, you may suffer fatal damage.

-Current contamination rate: 46%

“Cain Calderon! Are you okay!”

“Kuuu. No mortal can resist his magic. Come, follow me. Draw your sword and kill them! ”

“… … .”

I drew my sword without saying a word.

“Now… Show your strength, child. You too have been chosen by Him… !!”

“That’s not even funny.”

Crunch-

Marquisares fell down without being able to react to my sudden attack.

This was possible because his protective shield was lifted, as he was currently using all his magic power on producing flesh zombies and mind control magic.

A fallen priest, he was just an old man, unless he protected himself with his bloody shield.

“Uh… How can a mere human be able to use his magic… … ”

Archbishop Marquisares let out a gasp of disbelief.

Now he has only one follower left.

If he is resurrected this time, he will never be resurrected again.

So the next time we meet will be his last life.

“… Are you okay?”

“As you can see.”

“… … It’s amazing. A child like you can resist Belmagor’s magic. ”

I did not answer Draken’s words and accepted Libra.

The reason I was able to resist mind control was thanks to the legendary item, the Guardian’s Oath Ring, but there’s no telling how Draken will react if he finds out about that.

NPCs were also able to obtain and use items.

From Drakken’s perspective, who is preparing for war with God, the more powerful the item, the more he would want to give it to his qualified confidants.

Since Drakken has the ability to detect lies, no conversation regarding items should be held.

“Can you step away a little?”

“Hehehe… You really are a secretive kid. Someday, you’ll have to tell me everything.”

Draken clicked his tongue in disbelief, but left the seat without asking any more questions.

Only then did I take off the ring I was wearing and put it on Libra’s finger.

Then, the pure white jewel in the ring turned black as if black paint was rising.

The Guardian’s Oath Ring absorbed all of Belmagor’s magical power that had permeated her mind.

If the damage exceeds 100%, permanent damage occurs, but the first time I was hit by Marquisares, I took 46% damage, so it should be okay up to twice.

“… … … … !!”

Let’s wait a moment, Libra, who had come to her senses, slowly opened her eyes.

She quickly assessed the situation and immediately pushed me away.

“… … Go, too close… … .”

“It’s okay to whine, but I want you to give me back what’s mine.”

“… … ?”

Libra, who only then discovered the ring on her hand, was startled and took it off.

“… … Archbishop?”

I said, pointing to the body of Marquisares lying on the floor.

“I killed him. Looking at his condition, it looks like the next one will be the last.”

“… … .”

“Are you sad that you couldn’t kill me with your own hands?”

“No. I was lacking. However.”

Libra smiled faintly as she handed me the ring.

“I won’t give in next time.”

“Yeah.”

“Are you done?”

We cleared our seats and stood up at Draken’s urging.
