Despite Spade’s warning, the opponent was just looking at her indifferently.

Could it be that she doesn’t understand Korean?

She’s a foreigner, so it’s possible… just as I was thinking that.

“Trash.”

Unexpectedly fluent Korean came from her mouth.

It was harsh language, unlike her lovely appearance, but it was clear that what came out of her mouth was Korean.

“I knew it. I knew it. Entrusting work to barbaric and lowly criminals from a savage country was a mistake after all.”

I thought she looked taciturn, but she talks a lot, unexpectedly.

The voice wasn’t loud and the words were fast, as if she wasn’t particularly trying to let Spade hear, so Spade couldn’t understand properly.

Still, what she wanted to say, her intention, was conveyed.

‘…But, mastering the language of a “barbaric” country to the point of using it so fluently…’

‘Is it a “like me but hate me” kind of thing? A *tsundere*?’

I had puzzled feelings, but Spade didn’t hesitate and held a knife and a dark short staff in each hand.

The knife is for threatening and deflecting the opponent’s attacks.

The short staff is for direct strikes to stun the opponent.

Whoosh…!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh…!

Red energy overflowed and flowed from each weapon, scattering a fearsome pressure just by itself.

Infusing magic into weapons, which was impossible until recently.

But after experiencing several incidents and receiving guidance from No. 13, Spade’s skills have improved dramatically.

Thanks to that, she can now handle such advanced techniques without difficulty.

With weapons overflowing with red energy in both hands.

Firmly, Spade put strength into her feet.

In an instant, she kicked off the floor strongly and charged towards the suspicious foreigner.

***

The hero of 【Aius】, or more precisely, Olivia’s ‘private soldier,’ Ruby Redfelt.

A maiden who has become a fervent follower of Olivia through brainwashing-like education and reality modification using Olivia’s magic since childhood.

As mentioned before, Ruby’s likes and dislikes are basically influenced by Olivia.

In other words, if Olivia likes something, Ruby likes it too.

If Olivia dislikes something, Ruby dislikes it too.

Everything about Olivia is justice itself to Ruby.

What Olivia denies is nothing more than a crime and a heinous sin to Ruby.

And just as Olivia looks down on this country.

Ruby also looks down on this country, everything in this country.

However, the reason she learned Korean was only because she wanted to reduce the amount of direct conversation between the respected Olivia and others in this country as much as possible, and to become the most useful aide by her side.

And today.

Ruby’s disgust grew even more when she saw the pathetic sight of the heroes of this country running away instead of catching the villain she had commissioned.

‘Olivia-nim set it up with magic.’

‘But, not being able to use that opportunity properly… running away like this?’

Olivia-nim had laid traps in advance for everything with that magic, 【Real Story】.

Listening to the plans and demands of these villains, Olivia-nim directly used her beautiful and noble magic.

If it were them, they would have cried and thanked Olivia-nim just for her help, and would not have failed even if they had to give up their lives.

If they were to fail, they would have cut out their tongues and pulled out their hearts on the spot and taken their own lives.

‘They don’t know Olivia-nim’s greatness.’

‘Pathetic. Terrible. Foolish people. Ignorant vermin.’

Everyone who doesn’t respect Olivia-nim.

Fools who can’t properly carry out Olivia-nim’s orders.

Everyone is guilty.

They all have to die.

They all have to die.

This world must be filled with Olivia-nim’s things.

Everyone in this world must kneel before Olivia-nim and obey, giving their lives.

Ah, that’s right.

Hurray.

We must give cheers to that person.

Olivia-nim.

Olivia-nim, hurray…!!

***

Kwaaaang!!

It should have been the sound of metal clashing against metal, but instead there was a loud sound like a bomb exploding.

Following that, a violent storm and shock spread from the two people who collided.

What collided with each other were the weapons each held in their hands.

One was the short staff and knife that Spade swung together as if crossing them.

The other was a Western-style longsword that was clearly in Ruby’s hand, which had been empty until just a moment ago.

“Kuh…!”

The opponent’s weapon is long.

In that case, she has the advantage at close range.

Judging so, Spade moved her body nimbly and dug into Ruby’s inner circle.

Ruby jumps back greatly.

Spade was about to chase after Ruby as she was.

Whoosh!!

“?!”

Suddenly appearing in mid-air, Spade barely dodged the blade of a giant greatsword that flew as if trying to cut Spade’s waist.

“Trash. Trash. Trash.”

“Trash who don’t know Olivia-nim. Vermin.”

“We have to eliminate them all. We have to get rid of them all…!!”

Ruby, who had taken a step back, muttered with a dangerous face and waved her hand.

Then, strange particles gathered around Spade, and fearsome blades sprouted in each location, flying to pierce Spade.

Swords, spears, axes, bows.

Any one of them is a deadly weapon if hit properly.

“Ugh…!”

Spade jumped high or bent her body flexibly, avoiding all of them.

She used her knife and short staff to knock aside the ones she couldn’t avoid, changing their trajectory.

‘…【Space Transference】…it’s not. Is it 【Weapon Creation】 magic?’

She was surprised by the sudden attack, but Spade quickly grasped the opponent’s ability based on her experience.

She has encountered many similar types of abilities, but there are few people who can handle it with this level of precision and speed.

‘I’ll estimate the opponent’s potential to be around A-.’

‘…If I’m careless, my life will be blown away.’

“Die. Die. Die. Die. Die.”

Ruby moves her fingers in the air as if typing on a keyboard.

The weapons attacking Spade also increased even more.

Spade’s movements become busy.

The number of wounds increases.

But it’s still barely manageable.

There are no fatal wounds yet.

Moreover, she is gradually narrowing the distance.

Kang…

Kakang…

Kagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagang!!!

In the midst of the accumulating weapons, red light moves non-stop.

The dizzying weapons move as if dancing, yet they accurately knock down all of Ruby’s weapons that aim at the blind spot without leaving any behind.

“Kuh…!!”

Perhaps feeling impatient with that fact, Ruby moved her hands even more busily.

But she is already doing her best.

She worked hard to create weapons as if cornering a rat in order to catch the quick-witted hero, but no matter how much she increased the number, she couldn’t catch her.

The weapons that were created once, then abandoned and released, are gradually piling up in this space.

—Swaaaek!!

Poouk!!

“?!”

While creating weapons and cornering Spade like that.

Something red flew through the accumulating weapons.

It grazed Ruby’s face and was embedded in the wall right behind it.

The entire blade was gripped, leaving only the handle protruding, and it was the knife that Spade had been holding in her hand until just a moment ago.

The knife throwing with a terrifying force that she barely turned her head right before it flew, but even that would not have been enough to completely avoid it.

If Ruby hadn’t noticed the strange feeling and covered her body with magic like armor, the knife would have cut off Ruby’s ear instead of the wall.

Tsk, it felt like a sound was heard from beyond the mountain made of weapons.

That sound felt too relaxed to have barely aimed for a gap.

It felt as if she was saying she would do better next time.

That snapped Ruby’s last thread of patience.

“Ah….”

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”

She was going to use it when she was a little more prepared.

No, it won’t work. Now is the time.

With the greatest blow, I’ll finish you off right now.

Ruby spread her hands wide, then spread them out to the sides as they were.

Clang! Clunk!

Chwarararararararararararara…!!

At the same time, the weapons that had been rolling around on the floor, escaping her control until now, all floated into the air and scattered around Spade.

“Huh…?”

“Die for Olivia-nim, barbarian! Die, you barbarian!!!”

Screaming the incantation with veins standing out on her neck, Ruby brought her hands together, which had been spread to the sides.

“【Banstre Olra! Stelletrai Ompe!!】”

The moment she clapped her hands, *zzak*!

Kuuuung!!

Swaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak!!!

As if that sound was a fuse, the countless armaments and weapons surrounding Spade flew at her in an instant.

Spade cannot avoid it.

It’s over with this attack…!!

***

The weapons fly one after another, wanting to shatter her slender and soft body.

Unlike before, when only a maximum of 5-6 flew at a time, this time it seemed impossible to block or evade the weapons.

Spade seems to have given up, standing blankly in place, just looking at the flying weapons.

And.

Pabababababababababababat…!!

Cutting. Penetration. Strike. Shock.

In various ways, various weapons attacked Spade.

And.

Not a single one——managed to injure Spade.

“Eut…cha.”

Whoosh… Whoosh… Whoosh…!!

Spade crossed her arms and raised them as if protecting her head.

Around Spade’s body, the same red energy that she used to cover her weapons overflowed and enveloped her.

As if blocked by that energy, the weapons couldn’t reach Spade’s skin and flesh and were just stopped, creaking.

“Hah…aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”

Kuuuuung!!!

With a shout, Spade strongly rolled the floor and shook off the crossed arms.

Then, the red energy spread out as if exploding from her center, destroying or blowing away all the weapons surrounding her at once.

The view clears in an instant.

Freedom came in an instant.

And.

“It’s not over yet, you barbarian!!!”

In front of Spade, who shook off the weapons and cleared her vision.

Ruby, who was manipulating the weapons from the fallen position.

Holding a giant mace overflowing with white energy, she had charged and come to within Spade’s reach.
