"Greet them! Stop the beast in its tracks with your spear!"

　The Valkyrie I am riding gallops after the path the Valkyrie made for me.

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

　The momentum of the Valkyrie is unstoppable, and at last it catches Guido.

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

　Guido, after the first words were exchanged, produced a Black Death Butterfly.

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

　It seems that Guido was keeping his distance from us as he cast the Black Death Butterfly in order to effectively use his magic, which can force his opponents to bleed.

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

　With the support of Kiku's squad and Valkyrie's advance, I succeeded in getting close to him, but Guido was already waiting for me there.

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

　It seems that he was thinking the same thing.

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

　After distancing themselves from us, they decided to use the wall.

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

　But it's not wall-building.

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

　It is not a magical wall, but a plan to prepare for a battle in this town.

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

　Once Guido had gained distance, he was in the street between the taller buildings on both sides of the city.

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

　The soldiers were positioned so that they were spread across the width of the road.

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

　All of them held out their spears at once.

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

　It is called a line of spears.

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

　By throwing their long spears forward as a group, a defensive wall like a needle mountain was completed in an instant.

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

　Even though I already had Guido in my sights, the distance between me and Guido was still too great to reach with my sword.

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

　Many spears were held out in front of me.

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

　I kept my eyes fixed on them, but I remained strangely calm.

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

　I let the magic flow through me.

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

　I distribute the minimum amount of magic power to my arms, legs, and torso, and I fix my body to the Valkyrie I'm riding.

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

　Especially, I hold the Valkyrie's torso firmly between my left and right legs, so that the Valkyrie will not be thrown off by any movement of the rider.

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

　Then, he concentrated most of his remaining magic power on the head.

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

　The magic is divided into the eyes and the brain.

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

　The magic power that I have developed improves my eyesight and speeds up my thinking at the same time.

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

　Spears are being thrust out and are about to pierce me and Valkyrie's bodies.

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

　As I look at them, I try to determine which spear is a threat.

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

　It is true that the bedding of spears is effective against a rushing attack by a mounted rider.

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

　Since there are horses in the east, the mounted assault strategy should be used sometimes.

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

　It is not wrong that Guido chose this defense as a countermeasure.

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

　But, however.

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

　I think he miscalculated that I was the only opponent this time.

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

　I think that Guido may have read in his mind that I would attack with other mercenaries.

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

　The attack by the Black Death Butterflies will not help if Guido is not defeated.

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

　Normally, they would have launched a desperate rush attack.

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

　It can be said that they were right or wrong this time.

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

　After all, it was only me and Valkyrie who rushed forward.

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

　In effect, it was as if I had come at them single-handedly.

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

　It is true that the bed of spears is a defensive shield that combines offensive and defensive capabilities, but that is only if the opponent is a group.

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

　Guido's men use long spears to stop their rushing attack.

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

　This is probably because too short spears may be broken through with their own momentum before they can stop the thrusting attack.

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

　But on the other hand, it could be said that it is not easy to maneuver.

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

　Many of the soldiers only prioritized to hold their spears out in front of them, and never pointed their spears at me who was charging at them single-handedly.

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

　Therefore, their aim was not good.

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

　Even though there are countless spears, a spear merely sticking out in front of me is no better than a branch on a stationary tree.

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

　Deciding that there is no need to improve my eyesight any further, I let more magic flow into my brain.

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

　In this way, I was able to slowly perceive the information of my vision.

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

　It was as if a second had been prolonged.

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

　By being able to perceive a small amount of time longer, I was able to find a way to make the best use of it.

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

　I only see the spears that are in the way of the Valkyrie on which I am riding.

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

　Then I attacked with my spear against the spear.

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

　My spear, straddling the back of the Valkyrie, knocked down many spears that would have blocked its path.

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

　The tip of the spear was frozen.

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

　The ice spirit spear.

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

　I had brought it with me in my magic bag when I came to the East after I was expelled from the Kingdom of the Sky, though I had never used it before.

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

　I think it was made by synthesizing the steel and ice-absorbing stone that Brother Ars made in Barca.

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

　I had received that magic weapon, which is standard equipment for knights of Barca, from my father, a knight of Barca.

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

　Such a mass-produced magic weapon is not bad to use.

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

　When you put magic power into it, a spear made of ice is formed at the end of the spear.

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

　In other words, it extends the length of the spear.

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

　This was very useful when the Valkyrie was mounted on it.

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

　With the extended range of the ice spear, he would knock down any spears that got in the way of his path.

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

　Then Valkyrie jumped.

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

　Valkyrie and Valkyrie, who had been running in a straight line toward Guido, had changed their angles when they saw the flying spears on the road, side by side.

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

　And while I was knocking down the spears, they each leapt toward the walls on both sides.

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

　I remembered that the goats on the farm in Vulcania used to jump like this.

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

　The Valkyrie jumped as big as the goat's leap, landed on the side of the wall of the building, and kept running without losing momentum.

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

　I guess you could call it wall-running.

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

　I was amazed that he could do such a thing.

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

　However, I guess he could not run such a long distance.

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

　But it was enough.

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

　What would you think if suddenly something like a horse that ran across the bed of spears, and you thought it was going to hit the wall, started running along the wall?

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

　I am sure that we can only look at it, not knowing what to do with it.

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

　I am sure of it, because that's what happened to me.

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

　The soldiers who were protecting Guido with their spears outstretched could only watch in amazement while following the Valkyrie's wall-run with their eyes.

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

　And it looked like a big gap to my eyes as I kept my body from being swept off from Valkyrie with both legs.

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

　My body swung around in an unsteady motion, but I was okay.

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

　I am still working out hard.

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

　The core muscles of the torso create a single core around which the body twists and turns.

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

　Using this twisting motion, he thrusts out the ice spear.

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

　The ice spear still extends from the tip of the spear.

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

　This ice spear, which is longer than the one in Guido's line of defense, can reach Guido in the middle of the road even while he is running along the wall.

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

　He increases the speed of the spear as he undoes the twists and turns of his body that he has built up enough strength.

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

　This time, which seemed reasonably long to my stretched-out mind, might have been a moment for the other soldiers.

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

　With none of the soldiers nearby able to react, my ice spear is thrust into Guido's body.

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

　It felt good.

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

　Guido's body fell to the ground at the same time as the Valkyrie, which had finished running on the wall, landed on the ground and ran through.
