　He pulls the sword out of its scabbard and holds it ready.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The sword is a magical sword that no one can see except for its handle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He aims it with his magical power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nadja has defeated her brother Baito, and has since attacked others.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　From the looks of it, it's not really a fight.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nadja is no longer an ordinary immortal, but a king of the immortals.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The black magic overflowing from Nadja's body was corrupting everything around her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was impossible for those who were attacked to deal with it at all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even if they attacked with the weapons in their hands, their attacks would not reach them due to the black magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If Naja approached and touched them, their bodies would be stained and sore, regardless of whether or not they were wearing protective gear.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The only thing to do is to run away from the approaching Nadja.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But that is not an option.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The current Naja has taken power from the apostles of God in the Divine Realm as well as from all the humans in the Holy City.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The amount of her magical power has grown to such an enormous amount that she is able to maintain her body as it was when she was alive, even though it has been invaded by unholy magical power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In other words, no one had the legs to escape from the overwhelming magical power of Naja.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Is Nadja conscious?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They chased and killed everyone they could find, as if it was their habit to chase after anyone who ran away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Most of them were killed by a single blow from a naja attack, and in some cases they became immortal, having been invaded by an impure magic power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So this was not a battle at all, but rather a disaster of such irrationality that it seemed as if we were in the midst of it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Shhh!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He swings his sword at Nadja.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The sword is a magic-powered kuzaeken, capable of long-range attacks from a distance without even leaving the spot.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's a completely invisible slash.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nadja, who had focused all of her attention on chasing her pathetic prey, could not avoid the attack, and it hit her dead on.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It should have.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hey, Ars. What are you doing?　It's not working. You missed."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... No, I thought I hit it. It didn't work, did it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The attack with the sky-blanketed sword must have hit the target.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But Nadja does not seem to have changed at all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Why?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I launch another attack, wondering about the situation I don't understand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But the attack was also unsuccessful.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My senses tell me that Kuzeken's attack hit the target.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But it didn't hit me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I tried another point, but not Naja.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The attack cuts through the ground at a distance from Nadja, so it seems that the power of the sword is not ineffective.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Holy knight, isn't that Commander Naja?　I thought I was back, but I've turned into an immortal."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"The vice-commander. Yes, Nadja has been immortalized. And that's near the worst of it. She's as nasty as the King of the Immortals, and for some reason her long-range attacks are ineffective."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Long-range attacks?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. This sword can cut an opponent at a distance. But it's not working on Naja.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ah, it might be magic. If you use the magic called "Demon Barrier Wall", you can prevent the attack by magic power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"[Demon-proof barrier]?　I see, the magic of the House of Gizania. It's a defensive magic with no offensive power, so it's the reason why the neighboring Hekail family stayed indoors even after the Mercenaries of Marshel destroyed them."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. Yes. Commander Naja collected the barrier from the knights of Gizania and made it available to us mercenaries. With that, we gained an overwhelming advantage in our battle against the Hekail family."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"d*mn, you've got some nasty stuff here. I mean, can you still use magic in that state? Yes. If the barrier nullifies magic attacks, can't the mercenaries use it to challenge Naja and win?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Don't be absurd, my dear knight. The [Demon Barrier Wall] only consumes your magic power and nullifies your opponent's magic attack. If you get attacked too many times, your protection will be removed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Does that mean we have to repeat the attack until Naja's magic power runs out?　Are there any other weaknesses?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"[The barrier] can only protect against magical attacks. It is ineffective against physical attacks.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, I mean, even the holy sword is corrupted by physical means. That's impossible."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What do we do?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The sword of Kuusetsu is of no use to me at all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If the sub-commander is right, Nadja's magic power is blocking the magical attacks, and if we repeat the attacks until the magic power runs out, the barrier will disappear.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, the poor fuel consumption of the sword has become a disadvantage here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Kukesutsuken uses a lot of magic to attack at long range, but it seems that even if it hits the target, it does not seem to reduce Naja's magic power that much.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is as if the sword consumes 10 magic power and reduces Nadja's magic power only by about 1.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that the amount of magic power reduced by a single attack is obviously greater for me than for Nadja.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even if I am attacking from afar in a war of attrition, I will probably run out of magic before Nadja does.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, it seems to me that everyone here will be dead or immortal by the time I have time to do that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Any other ideas?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No, my brain cells.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Yes, how about using Valkyrie, for example?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Naja took power such as [Sharing] from Valkyrie and became able to use [Light of Judgment].

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This means that Valkyrie has a magical connection with Nadja.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, if Valkyrie uses magic until it is completely exhausted, the magical power of Nadja's side will also be reduced, right?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No, no.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I had already considered this idea before, and had come to the conclusion that it would have little merit.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Valkyries always share magic power with the whole flock.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, that does not mean that they will always share magic power with Naja.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Valkyrie's unique magic called [share] is a voluntary magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is just that Valkyrie is always using the magic of [share].

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In other words, Nadja can intentionally turn off the activation of [Sharing] with Valkyrie.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In that case, no matter how much Valkyrie uses the magic of [Sharing], Nadja will not be able to access to it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, it is dangerous for Valkyrie to try to use all of Nadja's magic that she has [shared].

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There is a possibility that Nadja, who realizes that the amount of her magic power is being reduced from the outside, will cut off the [shared] status.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then, Nadja, who has [collected] power in the Holy City or the Divine Realm, and I, whose magical power path with Nadja has been cut off, will be far apart in power relationship.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In other words, it may be a dead snake.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I must make Nadja continue to use the [shared] power as much as possible without her being aware of my relationship with Valkyrie.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Otherwise, I won't be able to use not only [sanctuary] but even [purification].

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then, what should I do?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Do you have any other good ideas?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was while I was thinking about this and that countermeasure.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nadja looked at me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe she could sense that she had been attacked, even if there was no damage.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If not, there was a very active person standing there, not running away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe it looks like a tasty prey is lying around.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nadja turns her head toward us and stares at us with stagnant eyes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The next moment, I was attacked by Nadja, who came running toward me with explosive acceleration.
