Chapter 112
RATH 112
TL: Eevee
12. Its not over til its over (10)
Fight him as if you were going to kill him!
With the princesss shout, the knights all swung their swords.
Five swordsmasters, the beings that could be said to be the beginning and end of swordsmanship.
With this number of swordsmasters, they had enough fighting potential to destroy the capital of a small kingdom with an ambush.
But.
Kuuuuuugh!
One knight was struck on the wrist, shoulder and ribs in that order and collapsed with a scream.
The reason why I feared swordsmasters despite wielding the self-proclaid strongest and proclaid by others as the worst weapon, the tal bat, was because of the sheer amount of mana they possessed that allowed them to wield sword aura.
And they would use that man to further raise their physical capabilities.
Sword aura?
Honestly the tal bat could even take sword aura slashes so I wasnt too scared of it.
Since I didnt have any magic power anyway, whether I died to sword ki, sword aura or a simple unboosted stab, the resulting reality of my death wouldnt change.
But I had no way to deal with the strengthening of the body that ca with it.
The common perception is that the reason why swordsmasters are called superhumans that have transcended the limits of humanity is because they can use sword aura, but it is actually because they have physical abilities that transcend humanity.
Even if without sword aura, they could cleave a rock into two.
If they wanted to, they could move even faster than magic.
And reactions speeds that allowed them to freely use that magic.
Even if the tal bat is all-purpose, I, the one wielding it, am not.
Swordsmasters possessed speed and reflexes to dodge every single one of my attacks, and power to make it feel like I would drop my weapon with every attack.
Even if I was holding the tal bat, if the basic specs are different, even if I tried hitting them then everyone else dodges and Im the only one that gets hit.
But if they have no magic power?
Then of course everyone gets a fair tal batting. Fack it!
What the hell are saying in a situation like this!
What am I saying, it ans that I can get all of you with the tal bat!
Sloppy.
Kuwaaaghhh!
Sloppy. Let alone their sloppy postures, with their dulled movents as well it would be hard to believe that these people were swordsmasters, but they would hardly do anything about it, either.
The beings called swordsmasters are ones that have achieved perfect unison between their mind, body and magic power, and right now, one of those three had disappeared.
The mind orders it, and through the use of magic, the body carries it out.
So what would happen if the magic power these people had normally been using so freely disappeared?
Their bodies specs have fallen but their mind still orders them to work like normal.
But since they have no magic, their bodies cannot work the way their minds want to.
Because they were at such a high peak, the mont a single deficiency appears, they cannot adjust to it and they collapse like a house of cards.
Compared to them.
-But, your almighty
is an invincible goddess who dont care about no magic power! Hurry up and praise , owner!
Indeed, hurrah for the tal bat!
This gods divine weapon that cannot be checked even with this device that freezes all the magic power in this area!
Although if one were to ask which god it was the majority of the people around it would na it as the evil gods weapon!
Haap!
Ohh!
The female knight that helped
so very much leaped through the air and chopped at .
Although it was probably a desperate, futile attempt because the mont she failed to capture
was the mont a bleak future at the hands of Her Highness awaited her.
The most up-to-date nov_els are published_here >
Futile things are futile!
The direct downward strike from the air is a powerful one, but there was no way Id be hit by that unless there was a major discrepancy in skill.
Although of course her main objective was to probably give the two behind her an opening to attack.
Theres no way Id get caught out
Shiik!
What?
I predicted the approximate area and landing position of her attack, as well as the two knights follow up, and just when I prepared to finish off another knight I instinctively felt sothing flying towards .
Having barely overco the danger of my legs getting cut off, I could only stare bug-eyed at the imperial princess.
Because
Wasnt it impossible to use magic? Hyah-chah.
Hiik!
To the female knight who seed to have sold her sense of chivalry sowhere to attack
from behind while I was talking to the imperial princess, I gave her another swing of the bat.
Its the power of love.
On the sword of the demurely speaking princess was an incomplete but definite sword ki.
Was it even possible to use magic in a space where a magic-sealing device had completely frozen the movent of magic itself?
Unless you were a dragon, the creatures called the race of magic power, it was impossible.
But
How are you throwing out sword ki like its perfectly normal?!
Following the path of the sword cutting through the air, waves of incomplete sword ki flew at my ankles.
Get him.
Her emotionless appearance as she threw around sword ki without a single care for the knights fallen around us made
fear that Id see it in a nightmare!
Small fry can stay out of this!
I swung the tal bat at the knights who ran in at the princesss command, but they dodged it by the skin of their teeth.
Damn it. Itd only been a few minutes, yet their magic-less bodies had already adapted this much, one could say they werent the imperial princesss subordinates for nothing.
But I need to live as well?
Judging by the imperial princesss expression, the mont I was caught, Id lose at least my legs.
Seeing as the sword ki flying towards
were mostly aid at my lower body, if things went badly I could get hit in a very poor place indeed.
-Impotent? My owners an impotent?
-Not yet!
Please get caught, Sir Ast!
As knight #1 pleaded and struck at the sa ti, I blocked the attack with the tal bat.
Kuhk!
The mont the sword t the tal bat, he whimpered, and I didnt miss the opportunity and drumd him with the tal bat.
Kraaaaaghhh!
Damn it, Peshell!
Abandon him and press the attack!
Two knights didnt even think of saving their comrade who was screaming from the tal bats pain and ran at .
To these things not even have a sense of camaraderie.
-Owner, did ya ever teach ya kids the aning of camwadewie?
-Your life is lived out by youself.
-And ya still lookin for camwadewie?
Now that I think about it, the person who deleted that useless thing called camaraderie under Her Highness was none other than .
Under the motto [You fight alone, every man for himself!] I did my best to make them work but to think even the knights copied that!
I offer my body, for Her Highness!
Are you so zealot!
Like a zealot that ran into a minefield shouting my life for Aiur,(1) the final remaining knight who seed to have lost his fear of the tal bat ran at .
Take this, my ultimate sword throw!
Hmph! Without magic power your swordsmanship is the hell? Do you have no pride as a knight!
I dodged the charging knights ultimate in a state of shock.
For a knight order made up entirely of swordsmasters each and every one of them were adept in zealotry.
What kind of knight throws away his sword?
In the end this lot managed to achieve the triple crown of knightly sha in attacking soone from behind, abandoning their comrades and letting go of their sword absolutely flawlessly!
A knight carries out his masters orders! I prioritise my masters commands over my own pride!
You might as well say outright that Her Highnesss grudge is scarier than your sense of pride!
Because I couldnt predict that this knight would throw his sword, as the price for dodging his sword and the princesss sword ki, I allowed the knight to get a grip on my ankle.
Let go!
N, noooo!
Was it because of the fact that despite his body being perpetually boosted by magic, as a swordsman his body was still tempered as a given?
Despite screaming at the tal bats beating, he held onto my left ankle in a vice-grip.
Kuaaaaaaagh!
Let go of !
A chance!
Thanks to this atshield which took one, two, three strikes, the princess found another opportunity to throw sword ki my way, and at the sa ti the last remaining female knight also aid for my back.
Iya. One of my legs are caught, and behind
is a sword, and in front of
cos sword ki aiming for my legs.
-Where ya gonna block?
-I need to get rid of this leech first.
Kuaaaaaagh!
I gave the knight clinging to my leg a finishing 7 hit combo of the tal bat who fell with an ear-piercing screech, and jumped into the air as high as I could.
I barely evaded the sword ki, but there still remain the sword of the female knight running at my back.
This is the end!
Dodging this attack while I was already in mid-air was impossible!
So I stabbed down the tal bat as hard as I could, but the female knight dodged it with ease and swung her sword once again at the arm holding the tal bat.
Really, you all have zero hesitation in cutting off other peoples limbs!
As the sword ca at
without a shred of hesitation, I too, unhesitatingly gripped the tal bat in my right hand as hard as I could.
Hup.
Using the tal bat, which had already touched the ground, as my support, I turned my body around and headbutted the sword.
Huh? Do you want to die!
Its cause I want to live!
Thankfully, because of her order to capture
alive, she tried to change the path of her sword but couldnt change it properly because of her lack of mana, and.
Kghhh.
-That wooks wike it hurt.
My forehead struck the flat of the blade!
I staggered montarily at the impact that shook my brain, but thanks to the tal bat I managed to avoid the princesss follow-up attack.
-This is exhausting
-And scawy. That pwincess thats shut right up and been glaring at owner the mont she couldnt use magic is weally, weally scawy!
The princess, who was even now still forming sword ki and waiting for an opportunity, her eyes were like a lion on the verge of starvation.
Her appearance as if she so desperately wanted sothing did not resemble the princess I knew at all.
-That ans she wants ya that much, owner! Say it honestly! Just what did owner of that ti do to that unni while I wasnt thea!
-Why is it confird that I did sothing to her?!
-Well then, ya didnt do anything and dat unnis like that? Then Ill apologise.
-Sorry.
I actually did do sothing.
The problem is that even I dont know what it is that I did.
I only flailed around to try and live, I only realised the next day when I consulted the emperor that ah, I went and did sothing~.
-There there. This benevolent goddess can forgive all your sins. Scough up. Why that unnis got th eyes of a falcon locked on its prey!
be very curious!
Differently from before, the tal bat pressed for
to confess as if she was so cop from a drama bringing in the beef bone soup Id requested.
-Well
-Well?
-I dont know why. But apparently I stole sothing she valued like her life?
-Wazzat?
-If I knew Id have returned it to her would I be so insane to hold onto it? All I know is that its sothing important to the empire.
-Hm. Lets see. Owner said its been nearly ten years since ya bid bye bye to that unni and owner supposedly played around in the imperial palace for a fair while how old zat unni?
-Was she twenty-six now?
-Alwite. So if I do the math when ya t that unni, that unni was about 10 years old?
-She was nine when I first t her.
-Hm ho. Hmmm
As the tal bat hmd and humd over sothing, in the anwhile the female knight dodged the tal bat 12 tis and I dodged the imperial princesss sword ki around 7 or so tis, the tal bat screeched loudly enough to nearly upturn my consciousness.
-Kaaaaaaaaaaahhhh! My owners a lolicon! Hes a pedophile! Hes a pervert among perverts, hes unsalvageable burnable trash!
-What bullshit is that!
-What bullshit, its that owners a downright asshole! Ah! Now that I think about it this is the reason that owner made my voice loliloli as well! Ya put ya own desires into this goddess!
So ridiculous misunderstanding had started up.
Although there was no longer any threat from behind, now wasnt the ti or place for this when we still had that oddly fast female knight and the princess who was staring at
focusing really really hard!
The mont the magic suppression tool is taken down, Im a pincushion!
-So I will very concisely tl;dr it for you. I am not a lolicon!
-Not a lolicon! You stole a girls precious thing! A girls purity you pervert!
-And like Im saying, why is that her purity!
-Course. What else would be important to a 10 year old girl? That princess isnt doing this because you stole her teddy bear!
The imperial princess in tears because soone stole her teddy bear. What, the. Thats scary?
Guaahhhhh!
While I was racking my brain to beco victorious in this cold war with the tal bat, a sharp scream found its way into my ear, and as I focused back in front of
once again.
N, no
Too late!
Unlike my mind, my body which had been on autopilot finally found its mark on the female knight, and the mont I noticed I imdiately struck ho with the tal bat.
I, Im a woman!
Oho! A knight caring about genders. And its alright. This doesnt leave any wounds.
Gaahh! Th, thats not haaah! Hwu!
One hit, two hits, three hits, four hits.
I wondered how long shed keep twitching I an how many hits of the tal bat she could take as I kept on swinging, and she endured a whopping 11 hits before she finally departed honourably.
Its over, now
Its over, now
Hm?
The only one left was the imperial princess.
As I thought where even Sir Reia was absent, and there was no way I would lose to Her Imperial Highness with her barely coherent sword ki, soone else said the exact sa thing I did.
Of course the only people present in this place were the knights that were lying like corpses, myself and the imperial princess, so my eyes automatically sought her out.
Holy shit?
This is the end.
As she said so, the waves of silver that flew towards
were undoubtedly sword aura.
A veritable torrent of sword aura slashes that were created despite the presence of the magic-sealing device, rained torrentially down onto .
