Chapter 199.2. Royal Guards’ Power
-Gotou’s POV-
They’re Nidhogg’s soldiers, wearing magic armor Agito and holding a staff.
“Captain! We have confird enemy soldiers specialized in magical warfare!”
“Have they spotted us? All units draw their swords!
He draws his sword and deploys his mana. He squints his eyes, cloaks himself in an aura of killing intent, and shouts with mana in his voice to raise his fighting spirit.
“Attack! Don’t worry about the small fry, cut them all down and push forward!”
[Brave Lion]
The mana-infused magical shout improves his n’s spirit and erases their fear.
“Oooohhhh!”
The n shout the battle cry, their will to fight improves, and they each formulate their mana, ready for battle.
The opposing enemies hold their wands in the air and gather their mana to form a purple magic circle.
“Intercept!”
A man who seems to be the leader of the enemy soldiers gives orders, and magic bullets are fired rapidly from the magic circle.
Gotou clicks his tongue abhorrently at the magic bullets that form a barrage to fill the space and clothe the approaching purple particles.
“[Acid Bullet], huh? What nasty magic!”
[Acid Bullet] is magic known as magic barrier counterasure magic. It’s magic that sticks to the magic barrier and gradually destroys it.
Its power is low, and it cannot harm magicians themselves, who have high magic resistance. Its speed is slow, so people rarely use it.
However, it can be effective when fired by many soldiers simultaneously. Destroy the magic barrier with [Acid Bullet]. After that, the plan is to use powerful magic for the finisher.
“But that’s against ordinary magicians! It’s useless against the Royal Guard!”
He concentrates the mana in his body on the sword. Mana particles are sucked into his sword and discharged, clad in lightning.
[Takemikazuchi]
He holds up the sword, draws his arm, and exhales sharply. Lightning was released as the aura blew from Gotou’s body like a wind gust.
With a deafening roar, thunder filled the space. The lightning easily canceled out corrosive bullets that touched the enemy soldiers, striking them as soap bubbles.
The super-heated lightning touched the enemy soldiers and destroyed the magic barriers with enormous destruction energy.
“GWAAHH!”
All the enemy soldiers deployed in the sky were burned and crashed to the ground.
“Did you think a bunch of soldiers from a cult could stand a chance against our Royal Guard?”
After clearing away enemy soldiers instantly, Gotou proceeds without slowing his flight speed.
Gotou’s unique magic [Takemikazuchi] is powerful enhancent magic that greatly increases lightning magic power and improves physical abilities. It’s the trump card that makes Gotou the Royal Guard’s captain.
.
Gotou and his team moved forward through the sky at an arrow-like speed. However, further ahead, a ball of light flew from the forest and drifted into the air.
The bee discharges and the light ball deploys a web of electric shocks in the air.
“[Sky Mine]? We’re moving to ground combat!”
“Understood, sir.”
Magic against aerial combat takes ti to eliminate and is targeted from the ground. Goto and his team give up flying at high speed and move to the ground.
They plunge into the trees and run as if they’re stitching down to the ground.
Suddenly, new enemy soldiers wearing skeleton masks and black magic armor appear from the shadows of the trees, swords at the ready, and slash at us.
“Hmm? Not Agito? Not just Nidhogg’s soldiers? Solomon’s guard soldiers?”
He frowned and puzzled at the magic armor he had never seen before. But the puzzlent was fleeting.
“Convenient. It ans there’s a significant person ahead of us.”
[Lightning Flowing Slash]
Lightning covers Gotou’s body, and he rushes toward the enemy soldier with lightning speed. In an instant, he passes by the enemy soldier as he raises his sword and slashes at him.
Gotou cuts down the enemy soldier with a frightening sword speed that is almost too fast for the eye to notice.
“Guhah!”
The enemy soldier’s magical armor gets slashed with a sharp slash, and he falls to the ground as fresh blood spurts out. Pushing forward at a sharp angle between the trees, Gotou took down the enemy soldiers who stood in his way one after another.
The other Royal Guards also cut at the enemy soldiers, but the difference in skill was obvious, and they took them down without danger.
The battle unfolded with the sound of tal hitting each other violently. However, the superior skill of Gotou’s elite Royal Guards gave them an overwhelming advantage.
“We have confird the internationally wanted Surtr on the front! There are other enemy soldiers in Solomon and many more!”
Gotou nodded as one of his n, who had moved quickly to the front, reported back.
“Okay, let’s keep moving, mmmm?”
Gotou was about to order his n to advance, blood dripping from his sword in his hand.
After reacting sharply to the powerful mana’s power, he turned his head forward.
“Who are you?”
The enemy soldiers who were intercepting him wore a custom type of jet-black magical armor. The upper half of his face is covered by a silver mask, giving him an air of mystery.
“…Captain Gotou. Serious and honest, you are the Emperor’s loyal samurai.”
“You seem to know . Drop your weapons!”
“That’s why you are strange.”
Despite the advice to surrender, the man took his sword from his hip.
“But it’s inevitable. I’ll force you to change it.”
“Mm?”
Gotou also held up his sword, since he didn’t think he would surrender.
“Let’s change the casting here. I’ll find a replacent for you.”
“Replacent?”
“That’s right. I’m changing your role.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about!”
Gotou closed the gap and slashed at the enemy who told him sothing unintelligible, and the battle began.
