Chapter 83: Subjugation (4)
[Physis POV]
On top of the Ice Wall Citadel, each of us finished our preparations and gazed at the other side of the wall with tense expressions.
The monsters were gradually forming their forces, and the sight of countless dark figures gathering was so terrifying that it was beyond description.
This is no joke.
Everyone nodded at Adiluns words.
But it will be fine.
I hope so. Well then, lets begin.
Adilun closed her eyes for a mont and then cast the complete invisibility spell she had previously demonstrated on all of us.
Strangely, while under the effect of invisibility magic, we could still see each other.
However, as we suddenly disappeared, the soldiers who were seeing us off began to look puzzled.
Oh...
Even Sir Aidan, who had witnessed this before, couldnt hide his surprise at the sight.
Adilun eventually lightened the bodies of everyone, including herself, and made us float in the air, then slowly lowered us down the Ice Wall.
There was no sound or trace. We nodded and dashed forward.
There was no ti to deal with small monsters. We had a ti limit of two hours.
We planned to use Adiluns mass teleportation for the return, so we needed to leave so mana for that. Because of this, Adilun agreed to use only support magic for us in advance.
She wanted to deal with the monsters using high-powered magic, but that could quickly drain her mana, so I had to console her and make her settle for using less powerful magic.
With each step forward, the wind surrounded us, and the scenery around us changed in an instant. The monsters, unaware of our charge, just stood still.
It was a fascinating experience. Facing incredibly dangerous monsters right in front of us but feeling no threat at all. At this level, it could truly be called grand magic.
Our goal was to deal with the high-ranking monsters commanding the other monsters. They were at the superior or near-superior level, and the other monsters couldnt dare approach them.
Of course, right now, they couldnt see us at all. So, dealing with them shouldnt be too difficult.
Surprise attacks were always threatening, let alone when the enemy couldnt see you... The impact of such a surprise would undoubtedly be trendous.
I watched the monsters figure. My eyes pierced through its essence, revealing its weaknesses at a glance.
Moreover, just in case it reacted to this surprise attack, its retreat route was already blocked by other knights.
This should be enough.
I stepped into the attack stance and infused my fist with mana.
The mana resonated and surged into my fist, and my strength grew. At that mont, the top-tier monster started to look around, sensing sothing strange.
But it was already too late.
Before it could notice , I had already extended my fist in front of it.
- Kwang!
The gauntlet, condensed with mana, struck the monsters chest, and at that mont, its insides burst and exploded due to the mana.
The surrounding monsters seed bewildered by the sudden turn of events.
Its okay. They wont hear any sound even if we move.
Adilun said, floating in the air as she looked at the knights taking battle positions.
We quickly moved away from that location towards where other high-ranking monsters were present.
Looking back slightly, we could see the chaotic monsters losing control and attacking other monsters.
Watching them rampage, I felt that things were going quite smoothly.
***
The small ripples we caused had thrown the entire monster forces into confusion.
When the monsters no longer followed the commands of the superior monster we initially dealt with, they began to wander around attacking other monsters. It was not just a minor disturbance; it quickly turned into a significant battle.
Slaughter between monsters had begun. Adilun looked at it and made a slightly regretful expression. Apparently, she wanted to directly pour her magic on the monsters.
Taking advantage of the chaos, we actively targeted and exterminated the monsters.
Sir Lucas, without the enemy noticing his presence, thrust his sword, imbued with frigid mana, at the superior monster.
Caught off guard by the sudden sword strike, the monsters heart was pierced, and the penetrated heart began to freeze.
If Sir Lucas could land a blow on the enemy properly, it would be a fatal wound that would lead to an imdiate fatality.
Since he stabbed his sword into the weakness of the monsters I had told him about, the work had to be carried out easily.
Perhaps it was due to the fact that we were all selected as skilled knights, our battle progressed very smoothly.
Of course, the enemy couldnt see us, and we were free from all their senses, so it was only natural that we achieved such results.
Gather. Its ti to go back.
The situation was entirely different from what we worried about, and as the scheduled ti was coming to an end, we imdiately gathered around Adilun.
Just as the transparency spell was about to be released, at the right ti, Adiluns mass teleportation brought us back to the Ice Wall.
As soon as we arrived at the Ice Wall, we realized that Adiluns transparency spell that enveloped us had ended. The soldiers who were stationed on the Ice Wall looked at us with surprised expressions and then saluted.
Thank you for your hard work!
Yes! The monsters are currently engaged in battles among themselves, so there has been no damage on our side of the Ice Wall!
In response to Sir Lucas question, the soldier yelled with a tense tone.
Great, then lets return imdiately. You guys have endured a lot.
Alright !
Lets go. Princess Adilun and Sir Physis.
Yes.
We imdiately headed back to the command center. When all ten knights returned without a scratch, Sir Aidan looked at us with amazed eyes.
...Impressive.
It was all thanks to the princess magic. They had no idea where we were, even as their bodies were hacked to pieces by swords. Moreover, after losing their higher-ranking monsters, the monsters started fighting among themselves, and that chaos began to spread throughout their forces. Perhaps only if the king personally intervenes can the situation be brought under control.
I see. Its hard to believe that all of this happened in just two hours. I cant even imagine how much the soldiers sacrifices will be reduced thanks to this. Anyway, everyone did well. Thank you, Princess, for your hard work as well.
...Yes.
Seeing Adilun looking sowhat tired, Sir Aidan seed to notice it and said to her.
Well, you seem quite exhausted. Rest now. Thanks to the magic you perford for two hours, the threat approaching the Ice Wall has significantly diminished.
Then, Ill go back to my room now.
Thats right. Rest well. You all did a great job.
Yes!
The expressions of the knights who returned from the successful mission were bright.
Sir Aidan felt the sa way. Even though the mission was made easy thanks to Adiluns magic, the battlefield was always unpredictable. So, it was truly a relief that everything ended safely.
We headed straight to our room.
Thank goodness no one got hurt.
Was it tough?
Uh... not that much, but Im quite tired. I want to take a bath and sleep right away.
Then, go ahead and take a bath. I think Ill prepare so light refreshnts.
Okay...
As soon as Adilun entered the room, I quickly prepared a simple al and returned to the room. Although it was only around lunchti, since we had risen early in the morning, it felt more like evening.
How much ti had passed? Adilun, who had finished bathing, ca out of the room with just a towel wrapped around her.
Ah...
With a refreshed expression and a smile, she looked at with sparkling eyes, as if her tiredness from earlier had disappeared.
Are you going to take a bath, Physis?
Of course. Ive prepared a simple al, so eat up.
Thank you.
Youre welco.
I quickly finished my bath and ca out of the bathroom. Adilun, now wearing a light negligee, was eating the simple al I had placed on the table.
You bathed quickly.
n are like that.
Huh, really? Anyway, we dont have any more schedules for today, right?
Probably not.
Hehe. Then, will you spend the whole day in the room with ? Im not sleepy, but Im still tired... being close to you would be nice.
Its my pleasure.
While having a chatty conversation during the al, we headed straight to the bed after finishing. Not because we were planning anything intimate, but simply to feel each others warmth.
Ah, good. Now I truly feel like resting.
too. By the way, your horns seem to have grown a bit.
My horns?
Yes.
Hmm... really? I havent noticed any significant changes.
Ive been feeling that way for a while. Arent the horns uncomfortable?
No, theyre not heavy, and theyre light. Sleeping isnt particularly uncomfortable either. Sotis its a bit awkward when they hit sothing, but Ive gotten used to it. Theyve been there since I was born, so Ive always had them.
I see.
I nodded as if I understood and gently stroked her horns.
Huff... dont touch them too much. It tickles.
Because you tempt so much, I want to make you a little uncomfortable too.
If you keep it up, I might just pounce on you.
That sounds very promising. But will you have the chance to pounce on ?
What? Why?
Before you can pounce on ... Ill have already pinned you down so that you cant get up.
Hehe, really? Is that a promise?
Even without a promise... it will definitely happen.
Ill be looking forward to it. Honestly, its a bit hard for to resist too.
Thats the sa for . Once this situation is over, lets go on a trip together.
Sounds good!
We snuggled up to each others warmth and rested comfortably.
We wanted to quickly deal with the Demon King and then go on a trip together.
