Volume 3 Chapter 129-2 Quest： Nameless Ashura II
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
This is how a magic sword should be used.
It pierces through the enemy’s armor and sword, tearing their flesh directly.
Nizaam, a former Twelve Divine General, is said to have defeated many Western knights this way.
”Yiya”
The final strike.
In a single flash, it sweeps across Linca’s head.
Before that, Linca had teleported a short distance to the corner of the hallway, hiding behind a pillar.
However, due to a slight delay, the magic sword tore through both her eyes.
Blinded, Linca pressed her missing right arm, and blood dripped from her face.
She quickly recovered with a strong will, standing up and leaning against the pillar.
(The Restoration Curse is coming)
Kian carefully calculated the distance to Linca after examining her bloodstains.
This is a moment to be patient.
If he rushes in carelessly to deliver the final blow, Linca, who would instantly regenerate with the Restoration Curse, could pierce his heart──he would lose. That’s something Jibril would try. So, he won’t fall for it.
He acted carefully, considering her ability to regenerate. Until the Restoration Curse stops, he steadily chips away at her life.
”U, …Aaaah!”
Linca used healing magic to rebuild the torn flesh of her sliced-off elbow.
The blood stopped flowing, but her arm was gone from the elbow down.
Just to be safe, Kian instructed his Wraith to recover Linca’s arm rolling on the stone floor. He didn’t know if this could hinder the Restoration Curse, but it was worth trying.
”Haa, haa… Ku…”
Meanwhile, after stopping the bleeding from her eyes, Linca probed the pillar and wall with her left hand to confirm her position.
’────That’s enough, Linca.’
”……, …? “
Linca’s face, desperately maintaining her unyielding spirit, showed doubt.
Kian carefully looked around, staying alert as Jibril’s voice echoed again.
Do not show any weakness to Jibril.
An enemy who doesn’t know what they’ll do until the very end.
(What does “that’s enough” mean? Not using Restoration Curse? I don’t think the last one was her final attempt.)
’It’s enough, Linca.’
”Huh…? What do you mean, enough?”
’It means exactly that. It seems you cannot defeat elder brother.’
”…! P-please wait! I still can fight! Even if I can’t see, I can sense magic power──”
’I see. Then, withdraw immediately from there.’
”Wha…? Withdraw!?”
Jibril’s voice became even colder.
’I will have Elder brother dealt with by someone else. You are no longer needed.’
”Wait! Please, give me another chance! Next time… next time, I will do it well! As a top-ranked warrior monk, I will take pride in this mission──”
’Then, go immediately to the right wing of the temple and eliminate Sarah.’
”Eh……?”
’Didn’t you hear? Go immediately to the right wing of the temple and kill Sarah.’
”Eh, b-but…”
Linca looked at her right elbow, which had been slashed off.
Since her eyes were also blinded, she just turned her face.
Jibril orders her, in her blind and one-armed state, to defeat Sarah, who until 2 months ago was Azrael’s top warrior monk.
Is he serious──.
Even when Linca is in perfect condition, it is difficult to defeat Sarah, who is immune to ‘Penetration.’
Simply put, Sarah is stronger than her.
Moreover, in her current state, she probably can’t even engage in a proper fight.
’Even if you can’t defeat her, throw yourself into stopping Sarah with all your might. Stop her for 15 minutes, an hour, a day, whatever it takes. Do it.’
”────, ……”
Jibril whispered in a voice that makes one shudder, even through the magic tool.
’Linca, any reply?’
”Y-y… yes… as you command.”
Jibril’s voice suddenly cut off.
The round magic tool, with no power left, fell from Linca’s chest pocket onto the stone floor with a loud sound, as if it was already useless.
Linca’s figure vanished.
The energy she emitted was suppressed and disappeared beyond the corridor wall.
She likely planned to appear behind Sarah, who was on the right wing, after making a wide detour.
Kian could not pursue her as he could not pass through the wall.
”Linca!”
Not knowing if she could hear him, Kian raised his voice.
”It was a good fight! If there’s a chance, I want to clash with you using only warrior monk techniques next time!”
There was no reply. Kian’s voice merely echoed through the corridor.
”I will return your eyes and arm later! I wish you good luck!”
’Kian, that woman is going to fight Lady Sarah now. What good is wishing her luck?’
(…That’s right)
It was a line he should never have said.
However, Kian had begun to take an interest in Linca, who had been completely out of his sight.
He wanted to cross swords with her again.
He wanted to see more of her techniques.
If Sarah were to tear her apart, that would not be possible.
He disliked that thought, which is why he wished her good luck.
(This is not right. I need to focus on reclaiming Serena and the others from here on.)
Shaking off unnecessary thoughts, Kian returned the Misty Magic Sword to his waist.
From now on, he would use the Windsong Blade as his main weapon and switch to the Misty Magic Sword as needed.
He had come to know the power of the Misty Magic Sword well enough.
It was a wonderful magic sword.
With this weapon, he had taken another step closer to becoming the strongest.
Although it was borrowed from Priscilla, he wanted to keep it if possible.
’In that case, you will end up fighting that savage.’
(Before returning it, could I have Guy make a replica?)
He liked its appearance that much.
Unlike the Windsong Blade, it’s also good that it’s not noisy.
Thinking about such things, the Windsong Blade suddenly produced a noisy sound, as if it was jealous.
”────”
Kian let out a relaxed smile and then dashed through the empty corridor at once.
* * *
When he reached the temple courtyard, he first saw ten warrior monks on the roof.
Beyond them──on the white mountain landscape with snow remaining──were Serena, who had fainted, Lady Colinna carrying Serena, and Barghest pushing with a war mace on Lady Colinna’s back.
”Kian Vahid!”
One of the ten warrior monk──Shura──looked down at him and shouted.
Two of the remaining nine were holding something large.
That is Glen Silverwooloo.
