Hilda!

　Reinhardt caught Hilda as she tumbled down the hill.

'I'm sorry ... Edward is ...'

　Hilda slowly got up, but her expression was weak.

''I know ... I know. Don't talk anymore, you rest.

　Reinhardt wasn't the only one who could sense the magic on the hill, but many others could sense the magic on the hill.

''I'm sorry...''
Reinhardt!　Your sister!

　Then Sierra shows up.

'It's okay, don't worry.'
''Well, Reinhardt... well, I can't feel Edward's magic, but...''
Don't worry about it now. More importantly, it seems he's ready to show himself.

　An S-ranked monster, the Leo Wolf, rode down the hill.
　Gid was riding on the back of that huge white wolf.
　And behind him was another Leo Wolf.
　The Orc King and the Earth Golem could be seen as well.

''We, the Empire, will take this country!

　Guido walks down the hill with a big smile on his face.

''The Painful Ball of Charity (Mademoiselle Payne)!

　I heard a thick voice that seemed to be disturbed by the flesh of my neck.
　Immediately after, a deep purple sphere appeared in the sky above the battlefield.

''Guys!　Avoid!

　One of the adventurers noticed and shouted with all his might.
　But by the time the adventurers around him had a question mark in their minds, the giant magic ball fell into the center of the battlefield where many adventurers were returning fire.
　The sound of the explosion was so loud that the screams faded away.
　A cloud of dust so thick that the adventurers and kingdom knights could no longer be seen.
　Many were swallowed up by Madame Fran's magic.

''Oh my goodness, the adventurers in this country are so poor. And where in the world were they planning to go on this adventure?

　Fran landed on the battlefield with her parasol in her right hand, floating fluffily.
　Meanwhile, Gid jumped down from Leo Wolf when he reached the battlefield.

'Go away!　We must chew them out!

　The unleashed leowolf sashayed across the battlefield, and Gid was rubbing his palms together, looking around and examining the target to see where to start.

'You!　You killed Edward! --

　Then Lade appeared and swung his scythe at Gido.

'Oh? --Say!

　A small magic ball was released from the middle finger of Guido's right hand.

''Gaha!''

　The raid created a wall of magic power in his belly as he foresaw his initial move, but he was unable to kill the impact and was blown backwards.

''That's strange. It's as if I'm an idiot, isn't it? I've spent so much time thinking about it, vomiting blood, and I've come to this day. So what, you're going to be blown away by that level of magic?　I wonder how light their lives are.

　The Raid rolls as if scraping the ground, but regains its position and gets up.

''【Fire Armor】!

　And as soon as he chanted, the raider's body was wrapped in flaming armor.

I'm not a fan of the magic armor. I'm not going to be able to get it right.
How do you know my name?

　The Raid was surprised.
　Radshausen was a small country, and although his name was well known, the White King Knight was only a knight of a small country.
　In addition, the White King's Knights don't usually show themselves.

I'm going to look up the names of the people I'm going to kill. But I only learned them from Fran. The former commander of the ash group, the raid of the mad flame. But it's not as good as the name. Are you as broken as I am?　

　Lade's feet moved at those words. And his expression is filled with anger.

'You're persistent--say!
Haha!

　Unable to see past the initial movement of that magic, which simplified the chanting, Gid's magic ball was mired in the Raid's belly again.

'Why can't you avoid it? --You look like you want to say that, don't you? That's because I have a good eye. Trainers observe their opponents. I've been watching your movements from above. You were really arrogant when you were standing there.

　Once again, the magic ball hit the raid.
　The raid was sent far away and fell as he spat out stomach liquid.

''Thunderbolt Strong Arm (Tonikium)!

　A buzzing sound was emitted as he wore an electric shock on his right fist, and then Daniel appeared.

'Go f*ck yourself!'

　But the fist that seemed to hit was easily dodged by Gido.

'Silly, I must have been aiming for a blind spot.

　Daniel was surprised and pondered the reason why he had been avoided.

'How can you call yourself a knight with such exaggerated movements? Are you kidding me or is that pure white armor a decoration?　I understand!　There's nothing there, so white!　Is that what you mean?
"Oh, you bastards!

　The move seemed to be emotionally driven, but Daniel's head was calm.
　But Gid saw through even that.

'Your acting is terrible, isn't it? Then I'll teach you how to use your fists here - 《Juiken》!

　Gid's fist dug into Daniel's stomach.
　Daniel falls to the spot, spitting up stomach juices, as does the raid.
　It's not magic, it's just a thrust.

'This is Imperial martial arts!　The foundation is different from yours, the foundation.

　Then Cyclops appears and lifts Daniel's prone body.

"Ha, let go....

　Daniel struggled to fight back, holding his aching belly.

'Slap him away,'

　With a yell at Gid's words, Cyclops threw Daniel, who was holding him in both arms, to the ground. Daniel was in the middle of a temporary stiffening of his body due to the recoil, and he was knocked to the ground, unable to break free from his restraints.

''The Iron Ball of the Earth (Ground Fell)!

　Then Guido took up behind him and Emily Anderson's mace swung at him.

'I can see that. You all seem to like the big swing, don't you?

　As he said, Gid dodged the attack from behind and Emily's mace stabbed into the ground with the momentum.

''This isn't the end.''

　Emily muttered softly. Immediately after, a crack appeared under Gid's feet and the ground split wide open.

''Nah!''

　For the first time, Gid showed his impatience here.
　But Gid's movements were quick, and he was able to escape to a safe zone that was out of reach of the ground cracks.

''Is that an earth attribute magic?　That's very unusual.

　Gid looks at Emily and smiles.

'I didn't know there was someone here who could use earth magic, and I'm looking forward to killing you.
I'm not so sure about that--
Wow!

　Reinhardt attacked Gid with his straight sword.
　Gid took out his dagger and dealt with Reinhardt's sword.

''This is the first in the White King's knight's hierarchy, the strongest in Radshausen--Dono Reinhardt.
....
'Where did you find out? --You look like you want to say that, don't you? To tell the truth, I don't know either.

　Reinhardt is stopping Gide while Daniel and Lade are unconscious and unconscious.
　Hilda is in retreat and Edward is dead.
　The only remaining White King Knights are Reinhardt, Emily, and Sierra.
　Sierra, along with Toa and Nem Nem, are dealing with A-ranked monsters and can't keep their hands off of them.

''Vikings' Heavenly Armor [Hetun de Rey]!

　A red aura covered Emily's legs and arms.
　It produced acceleration and enhanced physical attacks.
　She received Reinhardt's sword and jumped at Gido, who looked in limbo, with a mace at the ready.

'Are you also a magician--say!

　But the defense was lax, and the moment an opening arose, Gido's magic ball hit the back of Emily's leg.

''Guh!''

　Emily bit her lip as the magic of her right leg disappeared and she bit her lip as she endured the pain.
　The bones in her leg broke and she stopped moving.

'It's not that I am strong. You are weak.'
Chevalier de Caske, the knight's regalia!

　Numerous white veils appeared on Reinhardt's legs.



　Gid said, "You're in my way," and spun around and kicked Emily in the side of her head as she stopped nearby.
　Emily was sent farther away from there and stopped when she collided with a group of adventurers.

'What are you doing this for...'

　Gid and Reinhardt's blades crossed.

'If you beat me, I'll tell you. That means you will die without knowing it.

　Around them, adventurers and kingdom knights could be seen fighting against S-ranked monsters such as the Orc King, Earth Golem, Leo Wolf and Cyclops.
　But they couldn't compete, and they were being reamed off one after another.
　There were still a few A-ranked monsters such as Cockatrice and Wyvern left, and the only White King Knights who could move were Reinhardt and Sierra, and they were in a difficult battle.

''At this rate, your friends will die, right?

　Reinhardt glared at Gide over the blade as he crossed swords with him.

''I'm telling you to shut up...''

　Gid smiled happily at those words.

*

　The faces of the adventurers were exhausted.
　But they could not rest their swords.

'Cedric!　There's something else coming!
I know!　Yogi, cover that side!

　Cedric and Yogi were also in limbo.

Toa!　There's another monster coming!

　Then Sierra shouted out.
　The Toa turned around.

''Well that's Leowulf.

　Out of Toa's gaze was the looming figure of Leo Wolf.
　But the Toa stood still and didn't move.

''Toa!''

　Sierra wondered about the Toa and shouted for him to call out to her.
　But for some reason the Toa didn't move.
　In the nick of time, Nem slammed into Toa.
　The Toa lost his stance and had to roll on the ground with Nem, but he was able to avoid being rushed by Leo Wolf.

'Toa!　Get a grip!　
Nem...

　He seemed to be out of his mind.
　The Toa was in a state of abandonment.

'At that time, because of my father........'
Tor?

　Toa blurted out in a whisper.
　Nem stared at Toa's face with an anxious expression.

''Nem, one more Leo Wolf is coming!

　Sierra joins him there.

''So much for the S-rank........''

　Every time they heard a scream, someone would die.
　Sierra and Nem stared at the battlefield.
　Reinhardt was dealing with Gid, and the adventurers in the center were Fran and the A-ranked monsters.
　The rest of them are fighting back against S-ranked monsters.
　But it wasn't even a battle.

''At this rate........''

　Sierra was speechless at the sight, unable to express herself, and could only repeat her breathing on her shoulder.

'Ladies!　Watch out!

　That's when they heard Yogi's shout.
　Nem and Sierra turned around, and when they did, they saw the figure of Leo Wolf from earlier.
　It's as if he's running at a speed that cuts through the sky.
　Sierra stood in front of Toa and Nem with her sword at the ready.

'No, girl, get out of here, you'll get beaten up with your body like that!

　Yogi pleaded with her to flee, but Sierra did not.
　It was a quick decision for Sierra.
　Her body moved naturally and she found herself protecting them.
　By the time I realized that I should carry the two of them and run away, I was hit by Leo Wolf's rush.

'Sierra! --

　Nem shouted as he saw Sierra's body hovering in the air.
　Yogi and Cedric were speechless, watching the scene as if they couldn't believe their eyes.
　Toa in a state of abandonment.
　Sierra's body fell to the ground.

'd*mn it!'

　In response to Yogi and Cedric's cries, the adventurers around them, raising their voices, ran towards Leo Wolf.
　These were the ones who had been fighting with Sierra for this short time.

'My biggest! -- "Blanch!

　Yogi thrust out a glowing fist.

''The Demon Sword of the Gale (Feathered Fel)!

　Cedric wore a swirling wind on his sword blade and ran.
　The adventurers chanted the greatest magic for each of them and headed for Leo Wolf.
　A yell echoed across the battlefield and the earth vibrated with the heat, but the difference in levels was too great.
　Cedric's sword broke and shattered the blade the moment it struck Leo Wolf's body.
　Yogi's fist made no sense and stopped only to make a small sound when it touched LEOWOLF's body hair.
　It was like a pebble hitting a large bear's body.
　Leowulf didn't even look at the adventurers' collective attack.
　But he could feel it.
　Realizing this, Leowulf turned around and lightly raised his paw.

''Hey, you're lying...''

　Cedric stiffened, unable to move.
　Immediately after, LEOWOLF slammed his right foot hard into the ground.

''Guhaha!''

　With a shockwave, Yogi, Cedric and the other adventurers were sent flying.
　The adventurers moaned as the impact of the fall sent intense pain through their bodies.
　LEOWOLF saw Nem trembling in front of him.
　Next to him is also Toa. His eyes are empty.

　LEOWOLF gingerly approaches them and raises his right leg in the same manner.

''Master........''

　A single tear ran down Nem's cheek. And that's when he prepared to die and whispered softly.

''---------'' ------Nem, stay down.

　A familiar voice disappears from somewhere, and a single black feather wavers in the air and falls to the ground.

　It was an instantaneous event.

　LEOWOLF's body popped up, splattering pieces of flesh and fresh blood, as if he had poked a balloon with a needle.
　The adventurers and knights in the area leaned back with a gust of wind that pushed all the dust and smoke that filled the area out, as if to change the air of the battlefield.

'Good thing we made it in time,'
Master....

　But that wind pressure didn't affect Nem, Toa, and Sierra, who was lying a little further away.

'Nem, I'll take care of the rest. Rest up.

　--Masamune appeared on the plains, carrying a huge red-black wing on his back.
　Nem wiped his moist eyes and stared at Masamune.
