Please Do Not Abandon the Adopted Heroine

147 – Towards Undine

Undine didn’t say much and immediately cast teleportation.

I already knew the direction in which Undine, who quickly disappeared into a bubble, was headed.

Ignis’ role is to give her time to find the right attack point.

It won’t take that long.

While smoothly deploying his magic power, he also opened his mouth towards ‘that’ that was in the form of a human being.

“Hmm… “Do you think it would be a good idea to call this a long time coming?”

“… Keck… Cr… Ugh… Ah… Pfft… .”

“I don’t think it would be the right way to say it in a situation where you don’t even know if you are being eaten by a holy sword or if you are already a holy sword. I thought the Second Holy Sword had the worst personality, but I guess that’s not the case again. At least Shinwol didn’t look like an animal like you.”

“Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Pfft… ”

“… “You won’t be able to hear it anyway.”

Twisted joints. Skin with bluish bruises. Muscle tissue that rises up unevenly and becomes ugly and distorted, as if it were a huge boil.

As if he couldn’t control his bloated body properly, he moved forward, shakily, shakily. There was a moment when the Fifth Holy Sword dragged helplessly on the floor and then bounced off the stone. It is now.

“Kruk!”

“『The desired front line. “A spiral twisted on a twisted axis, measured in steps.”

Space-time magic. The fifteenth vision of the Disizu family.

Although it is a magic with a slightly cumbersome center margin design, it is a perfect magic for instantaneous benefits due to its short duration.

Lines twisting the space open one after another in the direction the man jumped in like an animal.

Quad Deuk!

A majin that spawns by collapsing trees into pillars.

“『Below the gap, in the mirage, eavesdrop on the whispers』”

The chanting of fantasy magic itself gives suggestions.

A brief hesitation in responding to an illusion can sometimes be the starting point that determines victory.

“Cruk! aaah!!!”

The Fifth Holy Sword rushed towards the roots with movements that could hardly be considered a living human being.

Ignis was in no hurry. It only takes a moment. If you can temporarily divert his gaze with an illusion, that will be enough.

Northeast direction.

A sniping point with a clear view between distant dark trees.

There is no way to sense Undine’s magical power.

Peeee… huh… !

The projectile, which was a transparent fluid, flies without warning, eventually breaking the speed of sound. The explosive exploded with a loud noise and a shock wave, hitting the 5th Holy Sword directly.

The upper body, which was torn off without leaving a trace of blood, oxidized without a trace, and the strangely twisted lower body continued to take a few steps ahead, but then stopped standing still.

There are no body parts remaining above the waist. A situation in which most organs, including the heart and brain, were lost. If it were an ordinary organism, all life activities would have stopped at that point.

However, Ignis did not let down his guard and immediately refined his magic power and prepared for battle.

“The value of the Fifth Holy Sword is the mercy of rest. That power is healing. If it was the Fifth Holy Sword that swallowed that body… Tsk… I knew it.”

It was ambiguous to even call him ‘he’ anymore.

A spine protruding from a cross section of the monster’s lower body. The ribs, shoulders, collarbones, and joints instantly form a skeleton, and the blood vessels and muscles begin to tangle together. It is a scene closer to the mechanical expression ‘recovery’ rather than ‘healing’ or ‘regeneration’. The priority was to slow down that monster’s recovery even a little.

Ignis connected the central margin and auxiliary margin and operated as is.

A spell that can deliver the most lethal blow in a short period of time.

“Forget it. A ray of wrath engraved and embossed on a painting that dares to imitate the sky.』”

A ray of light rises silently.

As the afterimages of hundreds of poisonous snakes converged at one point, a roar erupted.

I thought a sharp wind was blowing through the air, but the blade of the holy sword was already touching right in front of my nose.

He swung his sword as if his eardrums would be torn apart. Ignis’ teleport is cast in the nick of time.

Space-time magic. Teleport.

Past the spot where Ignis’s afterimage was scattered, a series of sniping fires from the other side of the forest.

Every time the 5-star sword caught them, it was pushed back a couple of steps.

I can feel the ejection interval getting closer and closer. Undine has narrowed the range down to a very close range. His body exploded and recovered repeatedly from directionless bombardments and lightning strikes coming from all directions.

Ignis adjusted the rescue technique to suit his younger brother’s needs. But the Fifth Holy Sword is one step ahead.

thud! He struck the ground and flew high, exploding his magic power into his holy sword.

It would be too monotonous to think of it as simply the pressure of power.

All the trees within a radius of several hundred steps around him are bent and broken as if they were being crushed by a huge force. The previously dark peripheral vision becomes clear, and he looks through the crushed trees with sparkling eyes. This is not an action to show off power. The Fifth Holy Sword already knew Undine’s location.

When the 5th Holy Sword lightly flicked his hand, a series of explosions of immense magical power occurred. Ignis reacted immediately to the sword, which drew a straight line without any hesitation and devastated the forest. At the end of that direction was Undine. Must be kept.

Imperial standard version. Type 2 defense technique.

One pursues Undine, and the other pursues the sword energy of the 5th Holy Sword, which is already gone.

Left and right, maybe back.

Immediately, magic power was injected into the margin that had been stocked in advance.

There is no bird to dwell on the reverberations of lightning flashing along nearby metal.

Allowing distance will lead directly to defeat.

Even while chanting, dozens of sword strikes covered the area, but hesitation was not tolerated.

“『The desired front line. “A spiral twisted on a twisted axis, measured in steps.”

You cannot step into the cut off space. There is no reason in the sword wielded by the Fifth Holy Sword. The magic was arranged in a disorderly manner, and piles were scattered along its trajectory.

I hoped that at least one of them would be caught, but the 5th Holy Sword charged, shattering the margin with its monster-like sword power.

Where on earth is this damn little sister and what is she doing? That was when Ignis briefly clicked his tongue.

“Brother.”

match!

Clapping breaks out among fallen trees.

Three ice spears. Undine rhythmically threw ice spears high into the sky. That was the beginning. The empty space with the ice spear cracked like a glass window in an aquarium breaking, and a large stream of water suddenly began to pour out. It was like a waterfall pouring from the sky.

“Now.”

Following Undine’s signal, Ignis reverses the arrangement of the central margin and auxiliary staff. The nature of magic changes in an instant. The price was significant. Magical power that instantly flows back and surges backwards can become fatal poison the moment you make a mistake.

The sky was as dull as wet dough, and the earth was rising as if the earth’s crust had been distorted. The Fifth Holy Sword immediately rushed towards the concave folded surroundings. He knew that the moment he failed to pick up speed, he would be fatally injured.

“『The frozen razor sharpens, to zero point.』”

As soon as Undine’s chant ended, Ignis canceled the magic synchronized with the magic.

The distorted space bounces back elastically and tightens again to regain its original form. The stream of water, pouring like a waterfall from all directions and circulating towards the end, finally reached a point of falling water. Eventually, the space curved elastically, and the concave picture expanded into a convex shape.

The round pool of water slowly began to rise and swirl along the limited space.

Each water molecule vibrated as if it was boiling and bounced in all directions, then accelerated in an instant and bounced in all directions along a specific orbit.

Auxiliaries are elaborately added along the central margin to add horsepower.

“『Water Jet』”

Undine’s signature phantasm. Waterjet.

Heavy rain mixed with a typhoon. Water droplets embracing the air.

From all the elements of water, finely broken blades of water, almost like light, extend out and fill the surroundings. The body of the Fifth Holy Sword begins to be stirred and mixed mercilessly. The moment it touched the water jet, the bones and flesh were shattered into powder and scattered. It spreads like fog, making it difficult to see ahead anymore.

The Fifth Holy Sword had no way to even respond to the series of processes.

The water pressure, which exceeded its limit due to magical power, not only decomposed and shattered bones and flesh, but also began to completely erase their shape.

Ignis was about to take the victory and prepare for the finish,

It was right then.

Strange shadow.

It’s not a beast.

“… … Brother! behind!”

“… … ..?!”

There was no need to cast teleportation.

The new hero infiltrated without warning and grabbed Ignis’s back.

First, a cold sensation.

The cold metal that tore through the intestines and protruded from the front of the abdomen was not the Fifth Holy Sword that I had seen just a moment ago.

A beat late, Undine’s water jet changed direction. But that wasn’t a smart decision.

Confused by the sudden interruption, she completely forgot about the existence of the Fifth Holy Sword, which had miraculously survived and had just begun to regenerate. Undine bit her lip and briefly muffled her scream.

“… … … ah!”

***

Hahyeondal’s room in the Magic Tower.

The ceremony didn’t take long.

I could tell that an enormous amount of magical energy was turning my entire body upside down and breaking it down.

The fishy eyes looking at me belonged to Ha Hyeon-dal. He asked me sarcastically.

“How do you feel? “I feel like the handcuffs have been released for the first time in years.”

“Well, that’s fine. “I’m not sure.”

“Not knowing grace and being spoiled is the same as it was then and now. done. Can you fight properly now? “It won’t be half-assed like last time, right?”

Ha Hyeon-dal growled fiercely as if he would attack at any moment. The person who stopped him was Manwol, who was just busy opening a new bag of snacks.

“Ha Hyeon-dal. stop. Anyway, you don’t have any magical power left right now, right? “What are you going to do?”

She continued talking while munching on her chocolate.

“More than that, Eugene. Why don’t you check first? Yes horsepower. “We need to see if the seal on the Holy Sword has been broken.”

“… what.”

“check.”

“How do I check? “Do you really want me to fight with that thing?”

“Fuhuhuhu! no. “You know that we didn’t release the magic for free.”

Manwol exaggeratedly flaccid his sweltering body. Cecilia accepts the body that has intentionally lost strength. Manwol said, pointing his finger at the sky.

“The moon phases of our magic tower are taking up too much magic power to maintain that these days.”

“… “We are also providing Brisingamen, where Freya gathered the power of charm, on time.”

“You know that the old moon supports the genjutsu well~ What I am talking about is the collapsed moon that is being held back by the genjutsu. The significance of the existence of the Magic Tower and the meaning of the phases of our moon. A tremendous amount of magical energy is being poured into the margin that supports the moon. “I knew right away that it was volunteer work, but it’s hard work.”

She yawned as hard as she could.

“I don’t have enough magic power. Well, I don’t know if I just eat and sleep and eat and sleep again, but if I’m bored and use magic, I’ll just fall asleep from exhaustion. Recently, Crescent Moon has been standing in front of Majin exclusively and only pouring out his magic power. “At this rate, no matter what the emperor does, the Magic Tower can’t do anything.”

“So, I’m going to release the magic seal, so you’re telling me to just shut up and add more magic…?” . First, I’ll do an experiment to see if it works as you said. … Hmm. “What magic should I use?”

“Where is Undine, sir?”

At that time, Cecilia asked, wagging her tail.

Undine is tracking the whereabouts of the hero of the 5th Holy Sword, as reported by the Crown Prince and the 3rd Holy Sword.

“Okay, should I contact Undine? … Let’s see. It’s been a while since we’ve contacted each other like this. “It’s a huge waste of mana.”

There is no need to hesitate. Cast magic right away.

But it wasn’t long before I couldn’t help but frown.

“… … “Undine?”
