An hour had passed since the Duke's knight first attacked Rid in Hevea Forest. Rid was still fighting those who were trying to kill him.
~San Lucia Art: Great Freezing Air Slash~
I attacked five n dressed as bandits with the San Lucia family technique. The attack struck them squarely, knocking them down instantly, with large chunks of ice sticking to their bodies. The ice clung to almost their entire bodies, making them feel like they were trapped inside. After I defeated them, I heard Javier chanting a spell.
~Oh great fire, bring down your fiery debris to destroy my opponents~
~Fla Magic: teorite Fireworks~
Javier raised his hand, and from it erged a massive fireball. The fireball shot upward. Once it had traveled far enough, it exploded like a firework. The large fireball shattered and turned into fragnts that began to fall to the ground. The fragnts also began to fall toward .
"He's using that technique, huh?" I thought.
I prepared to use my sword to cut through the fragnts that were about to fall toward . As I prepared to cut through the fragnts, Enzo suddenly shot toward . Enzo used his electricity magic to increase his speed. After approaching , Enzo prepared to attack with his sword, which was now imbued with electricity. I quickly blocked his sword with my own.
*CLANG
The collision occurred as our swords touched. Enzo continued to increase his power to suppress . The electricity imbued in Enzo's sword began to spread to my sword and then to my body. I began to feel electrocuted by the electricity emanating from Enzo's sword. The longer I blocked his sword with my own, the more my body began to feel the pain from the electricity.
"I'm surprised you can still hold my sword. I'm sure your body is in a lot of pain right now," Enzo said.
"Your weak electric magic won't hurt , Enzo," I said.
"I see. Then let increase the electric magic," Enzo said.
~Magic Boost 5x~
Enzo increased the power of his electric magic. The electric magic grew stronger, causing intense pain throughout my body.
"What now? I'm sure your entire body is in severe pain, and after that, your body will beco numb, leaving you unable to move," Enzo said.
After increasing the power of his electricity, Enzo looked up.
"The shards are starting to rain down on this place, so my job of weakening you is done. Die now, Rid!" Enzo said.
~Power Boost 5x~
He enhanced his physical strength with his enhanced magic and sent flying in this swordfight, sending flying quite far back. After sending flying, Enzo imdiately darted away from the area. Not long after, fiery shards from Javier's magic began to rain down.
*BOOM *BOOM *BOOM *BOOM
A loud booming sound was heard as the fiery shards struck the ground. The shards destroyed everything they hit, including trees, rocks, and grass. Even five people who had already fallen, with chunks of ice stuck to their bodies, were hit by the shards, causing their bodies to burst into flas. The entire forest area hit by the shards imdiately caught fire and was completely destroyed.
anwhile, Enzo was currently in the sa place as Javier. They were both watching the forest area that had been severely burned by the shards. Not only were they alone, but also three other "subjects" wearing elental armor were nearby. These "subjects" consisted of two n and one woman. As well as 3 other 'subjects' who had pitch black eyes and no expression on their faces. This subject also consisted of 2 n and 1 woman.
"With this, it is certain that this commoner is dead. It is impossible for him to survive after being hit so hard by that attack, especially before you weakened him, young master, Enzo," said Javier.
"Yes, I'm also sure that he's dead. But we also suffered heavy losses just to kill him. 31 knights and 2 'subjects' who were involved in killing Rid were actually killed by Rid. I hope my father won't be angry after learning about this loss," said Enzo.
"I'm sure he won't be angry about this because we have also completed this task," said Javier.
"I hope so," Enzo said.
While they were focused on watching the burning forest, sothing suddenly appeared and shot towards them.
~Flower Sword Art: Sword Dance In The Flower Garden~
I shot towards them quickly and slashed them in rapid succession. They didn't have ti to react and were hit squarely by my slashes. None of them fell from my attack because most of them were wearing elental armor and the rest were 'subjects' with Demon-like characteristics. But my slashes inflicted enough damage to their bodies that they were stunned and unable to move for a mont.
"Rid?!?! How are you still alive?!?!," asked a shocked Enzo, holding his stomach wound.
"Do you think an attack like that is enough to kill , Enzo?" I asked.
I prepared to attack Enzo, who was still holding his injured stomach, when suddenly three 'subjects' with pitch-black eyes charged at . They didn't seem to be affected in the slightest by the slash. They used elental magic attacks to attack , but I easily dodged them.
"How dare you attack again, you bastard!," said Javier, suddenly darting toward .
~Great Burning Punch~
He tried to hit with a his hand enveloped in flas. It looked much larger than his usual punch. Just as it was about to hit , I quickly moved to Javier's side to avoid it. Then, I grabbed Javier's face with my hand and slamd him into the ground, destroying it.
"Urrrghhhh!"
Javier spat out a mouthful of blood. After slamming Javier to the ground, I quickly healed my burned hand from touching his body. As I finished healing my hand, I saw Enzo pointing his sword, imbued with electricity, upward with his right hand.
~Electricity, stun my opponents with your relentless electric shocks~
~Electric Magic: Electric Rain~
Enzo fired an electric spell from his sword upward. Then, suddenly, the spell rained down on . I quickly dodged the electric spell that rained down on . I managed to dodge the electric attack, but it imdiately rained down on again. I dodged the electric spell again, but then it rained down again. This situation continued. And at the sa ti, Javier had gotten back up and attacked with his flaming slash.
"Die, bastard!"
~Great Burning Slash~
Not only Javier, the other 'subjects' also attacked with powerful elental magic attacks. The attacks aid at quickly and simultaneously. After that, there was a huge explosion caused by the collision of the many elental magic attacks.

30 minutes later, at Irene and senior Nadine's place.
Irene and senior Nadine were currently in front of a very grand residence. The residence was dominated by the colors blue and white. In the courtyard of the residence, a vast expanse of white snow covered the ground. Although the grounds were covered in snow, nurous trees and flowers still grew to enhance its beauty. This residence was the Duke of San Lucia's residence, Snow Palace.
After disembarking from the horse-drawn carriage that had brought them, Irene and senior Nadine imdiately entered the residence. There was soone waiting for them in front of the residence.
"Brother, what are you doing here?" Irene asked.
It turned out that the person waiting for Irene and senior Nadine at the residence was Commander Asier, who is also Irene's older brother.
"I'm currently on vacation, so I decided to co ho. I heard you and Nadine were coming, so I waited for you two here," said Commander Asier.
"Long ti no see, Brother Asier," said Nadine.
"Long ti no see too, Nadine. By the way, Irene, why didn't you bring Rid here?" asked Commander Asier.
"Only Nadine and I were ordered to co here to deliver the proposal, so Rid couldn't co," said Irene.
"I see, that's a sha," said Commander Asier.
"Besides, Rid is currently on his way to San Angela City to et with Lord Duke of San Angela to deliver the proposal as well," said Irene.
"Is Rid going to San Angela City?" asked Commander Asier.
"Yes," said Irene.
"Too bad, I have the day off today. If I hadn't had the day off, maybe I could have t him in San Angela City, as San Angela is under my troops' protection. By the way, who is Rid going to San Angela City with? Seeing as you two are here, Rid must be accompanied by soone," said Commander Asier.
"Rid is going to San Angela City with Enzo, the son of the Duke of San Angela," said Irene.
"The son of the Duke of San Angela?" asked Commander Asier.
"Yes," said Irene.
Commander Asier fell silent, as if contemplating sothing.
"What's wrong, brother?" Irene asked.
"Nothing. Anyway, let's go in, my father is waiting inside," said Commander Asier.
"Ok," said Irene.
Irene and Senior Nadine entered the residence. The interior of the residence also looked magnificent. The walls were dominated by white and blue. After a few monts of walking inside, they arrived at a fairly large room. Inside, Duke San Lucia was waiting for them.
"You're here, Nadine, Irene," said Duke Louis.
"Thank you for the welco, Lord Duke," said Senior Nadine.
"As usual, you're always so formal, Nadine. After all, I'm your uncle. Well, welco back, Nadine," said Duke Louis.
"Thank you, Lord," said Senior Nadine.
"Then, Irene, welco back too," said Duke Louis.
"Yes, I'm ho, Father," said Irene.
Duke Louis smiled when he saw Irene.
"I know you've co here to propose financial assistance to . But before that, Irene, you must go greet your mother first," said Duke Louis.
"Yes, father," said Irene.
Duke Louis then walked out of the room to go elsewhere, accompanied by Commander Asier, Senior Nadine, and Irene. After a while, they arrived in front of a room. They imdiately entered. Inside was a bed. On the bed, a beautiful woman lay unconscious. The woman was Duchess Arlet, who was also Irene's mother. Irene, seeing her mother, imdiately approached the bed.
"I'm ho, mother," said Irene.

At the sa ti, at the Duke of San Quentine's residence.
Currently, Duke Remy and Princess Alia were seen talking together in one of the rooms in the residence. Senior Vanina wasn't in the room; she seed to be sowhere else in the residence.
"Has there been any news from the other Dukes or Enzo, father?" Princess Alia asked.
"Not a single one," said Duke Remy.
"They should have all attacked and killed Rid by now. If they haven't sent any news, could it be that they haven't killed Rid yet?" Princess Alia asked.
"That's possible. I suspected Rid would put up a fight against them. After all, I know he's strong," said Duke Remy.
"What if they fail to kill Rid and end up being killed by him instead?" Princess Alia asked.
"I did say that Rid would put up a fight against them, but I'm not sure he can kill them all. However, I have a plan in place if Rid does manage to kill them all. You don't need to worry, Alia," said Duke Remy.
"Ok, father," said Princess Alia.
Then, Duke Remy placed his right hand on his chin, seemingly contemplating sothing.
"No matter what, this plan must succeed, and I must seize this kingdom to be mine. This is all for the sake of 'Lady' who has helped this far," thought Duke Remy.

The battle in the forest was still ongoing. However, at this mont, sothing happened that shocked those who remained in the battle. This was because Enzo's right arm had just been severed from his body after being slashed by Rid with his sword.
