As soon as the class ended, they left the academy.
　There was no unusual movement in Noish, who had become an attendant of the snake demon race Meena in the academy. It was as if he treated her as a normal friend, as if he was back in those days.
　Once outside the school grounds, he disguised himself and flew through the air in an airplane.
　The purpose of this time is to secure Aram Carla.
　No matter how much he had the title of 【Holy Knight】, if he was found out, he would be put to death by his clan. On the contrary, the Alvan Kingdom itself would be in trouble.
　That's why the disguise.
　And even with such a risk, the reason why I took action was because I would be stuck if I didn't.
　The battle situation will change drastically depending on whether Aram Karla can be secured before the enemy moves.

I've become too famous.
　I've achieved too much and attracted too much attention, even though there were circumstances that made it so. It's made it hard to move.
　That's why I think it's so important to have another me.
　Even today, if I had a Kagemusha, I could have had my Kagemusha take a class and leave last night.

(It's hard to find the right person.)

Even if you use make-up, you have to have a certain degree of resemblance to your original face and body shape. Moreover, the big hurdle is that you have to be a magician.
　As long as you don't deliberately hide it, the magician's magic power is always leaking out.
　Even if you don't have as much magic power as I do, if you don't have at least some magic power, it will be unnatural no matter what you do.
　And with a few exceptions, the magic power holders are all nobles, and few of them are willing to become shadow warriors.

''I'll think about it.''

Depending on what happens in the future, I can't do without it.
　Even if it's a bit of a hassle, I'll figure it out.

◇

I made the distance by plane and came to the holy place where Alam Carla is.
　Its name is Phowaale.
　A small city, but a country. The smallest country in the world.
　There are sanctuaries underneath the royal capital, but here, the entire city is a sanctuary.
　In order to prepare for the demons, most cities have a protective wall, but not here.
　Instead, a ward was put up.
　Warding over the entire city is a joke. A scale and strength impossible for a human to achieve. The power of God.
　It is said that this ward is said to eliminate all impurities, and it is heard that the moment you touch the ward, the demon will die.

''Well that's not all.

He observes the divine wards and such from a distance.
　Using Touahade's eyes, he sees through the magic formula and analyzes it.
　Dia and I have spent more than ten years analyzing the regularity 《rules》. That's why I can understand most of the codes.

Even so, I can only read about 60% of them.
　That's because the magic we know is the magic that God adjusted for humans, but what we have here is the magic that God himself uses.
　The dimension of magic is different.
　Moreover, the way the code is put together is unique and complex.
　Nevertheless, I'll take on the challenge.

(God's wards, I'm learning. I want to show it to Dia.

Read the flow from the parts you can understand, apply a number of assumptions, choose the most consistent one, and guess.

All right it's not just a defense, it's a management system. It's a management system. But it also has holes.

Management System.
　Amazingly, it reads the wavelength of magic and identifies the individual.
　The admin can keep track of everyone who enters the city, everyone who leaves, and everything in between.
　The strength itself is something I can push through if I'm serious about it. It's specialized in anti-magic and can be passed through if you're a mage who counts as a top-notch mage.
　I've never been in this city before.
　That's why they don't know the wavelength of my magic. The fact that I'm intruding into the city, the fact that I'm intruding itself is known, but the fact that I'm intruding is not known.
　........or is it carelessness?
　Once, I was invited by Aram Karla to the sanctuary of the royal capital.
　The hint I felt at that time can be felt in this ward in the same way.
　The Royal Capital Sanctuary is a replica. If that's the case, then even the warding might have been replicated.
　And if the warding is a duplicate, then there's a good chance that it knows my wavelength and is shared. At any rate, the demon tribe disguised as the Pope is looking out for me.
　If they find out that I'm the culprit, I'll be in a lot of trouble.
　Of course, it's possible that I'm not registering on a wavelength. That's just a theory.
　But since there's a possibility, we can't take any unnecessary action.

Then why don't we just destroy it?

Since we can only read 60% of the formula, it's impossible to alter it, but I think we can break it by interfering with the formula. If you use the third arm that we prepared this time, that kind of trick is possible.
　That is excellent as a weapon, but it is more than that, it is the hand of God, and its true value lies in its ability to touch things that cannot be touched.
　Nevertheless, if the warding of the holy place was broken, it would cause a big fuss and cause the opponent to be wary. Once the wards are destroyed, it is certain that they will be on high alert.
　It will be difficult to secure Aram Karla.
　Then dismiss it.
　There is one move to choose from.

'We'll jump over that ward.'

The boundary surrounds the city and stretches about twenty kilometers underground and above ground.
　It's not a dome, it's just a high wall.
　The top is empty.
　They must have figured that even the winged ones wouldn't be able to rise to an altitude of 20 kilometers, which is a joke.
　In fact, it is impossible to fly over 20 kilometers by force, even if you use wind or enhance your physical abilities.
　But I can do it.
　I don't rely on the wind or my physical abilities.
　First of all, I'm going to wear the wind. This isn't for flying, it's like a protective suit.
　What I will use is........

"The Divine Spear [Gungnir].

A special magic that ejects to a very high altitude by reversing gravity.
　Essentially, a mass attack with matter raised to a high altitude. Or it can be used to blow up the enemy itself.
　But if you use it on yourself.....

(You can fly with super efficiency.)

But we can't let our guard down.
　At any rate, this thing is falling toward the sky. Its speed was increasing by 9.8 meters per second.
　It would reach an altitude of 20 kilometers in about a minute, and it would accelerate to a reasonable speed.
　The strain on the body was so great that it was difficult to maintain control of the magic in that speed range.
　If he lost consciousness in the middle of the jutsu, he would be knocked to the ground and die instantly.
　........I didn't expect to have so much trouble even before I entered the city.
　The magic is completed at the same time as I smile bitterly.
　My cheeks tug at the acceleration.
　Acceleration, acceleration, acceleration, falling towards the sky, and my cheeks tug at the same time.
　The magic ends at the calculated timing.

But the rise doesn't stop. It rises even more as it consumes kinetic energy and decelerates.
　Then, when he completely crosses the boundary of the holy place, he expends all his kinetic energy and stops, and then gravity pulls him down.

The air is thin and chilly.
　The higher the altitude, the lower the pressure and temperature, the thinner the oxygen. And the faster the pressure and temperature changes, the greater the load on the human body.
　Even Everest is at an altitude of 8,000 meters. It took me about a minute to run up more than twice that height. It could only be called suicide.
　If we hadn't prepared for the wind protection, we wouldn't have gotten away with it.
　He gathered the wind and used it as a thruster to move forward and into the air above the holy place.
　Falling with a reverse thrust of wind to prevent it from gaining too much speed.
　As he dropped in altitude, he abandoned his wind protection.
　Instead, he cloaked himself in a film of wind. It refracts the light and makes it invisible, my specialty.
　As the ground approached, I intensified my reverse thrust, almost killing my speed, and used my entire body to absorb the impact and land on the ground. I killed the sound.
　As it was, I ran into the alleyway and made sure there were no people around me before releasing my invisibility.
　I was able to break into the city without anyone noticing me.

'First step is clear. The next step is the real deal.''

I stare at the cathedral in the center of the Holy Land.
　That's where Aram Carla is.
　I've researched her schedule in advance.
　My contacts and Nevan's information are in line with mine. It's pretty reliable.

In an hour, we will have our weekly purification ceremony in the great baths of the cathedral. A bath filled with holy water to enhance the power of the priestesses.
　No one is with her at that time.
　No guards, no attendants.
　In other words, it's a perfect situation to kidnap her.

If she misses this opportunity, she will not be left alone much longer.
　That's why I didn't want the enemy to be alarmed.
　I can't let them call off the purification process, just in case.
　I blend in with the city and blend in with the crowds on my way to the cathedral.
　I'm an assassin, not a kidnapper.
　It's not my specialty to kidnap, but I'll do it perfectly.
