175 161. Storm Empress




 Lanwalker Frontier Territory
 mansion

 I point my spear at the demon women. Elise and the others make accusatory noises at me, but they don't hear me.

''Why is the demon race here, mother?''

'She was down in the demon land and Phelia saved her. Then she taught Phelia magic and helped us again this time. So, Ray, stop pointing your spear at Dorothea-chan.

'Yes, Mr Ray. She's helping us in so many ways. So,

 ...What should we do? I don't think that all demons are hostile to each other. But from this demoness.

''You're the seven demon generals, aren't you? Why are you here?

 That's right, the atmosphere similar to the other seven demon generals such as Azell, Gilgas and Benjamin, comes from this demoness.

The only thing you need to know is that you have met the other seven demon generals before, boy.

 The demon woman giggles with a rare chuckle, but

Yes, I've had some fights.

 The demon woman, startled by my words, comes over to look at me with a serious look in her eyes.

''I fought with Azel in the forest near King's Landing before the summer, Gilgas in the Arcadia Papal State around the summer, and just recently I fought the zombie hydra created by Benjal in King's Landing.

So, the boy who beat Gilgas?

That's me, isn't it?

 It's not something I have to hide, so I'm going to be honest with you. The woman of the demon tribe looks at me with a surprised expression on her face as if she is trying to price me, but I'm not sure she's convinced.

I see. Then what are you going to do with me?

 He asked. There was an air of determination in his eyes. But before I could say anything else.

My brother!

 And then I hear Phelia's voice from behind me. Probably they came because they could no longer hear the sounds of the battle. Looking towards the mansion where the voice was coming from, I saw Krona and her friends, as well as other samurai girls.

''Brother! Why are you pointing your spear at your sister Dorothea!

 And he was pissed.

'No, she's a demon, one of the strongest seven of them...'

'But you saved us! Your brother is discriminating against you just because you are a demon race!

No, it's not like that, but...

Then I want you to treat me like any other species!

 Phelia holds my hands in a spirited atmosphere with a huff and a puff, and says to me. I look at the demon woman and Phelia many times. Ugh, being asked to look up at Phelia's eyes....... The amount of time I couldn't give a d*mn about her until now is too much. It can't be helped.

'Oh my God! I get it! You! I won't let you get away with it in the unlikely event that you try to mess with my family!

 I say that to the demon woman while releasing a killing blow. The demoness nods with a bitter smile, as if she is used to it. And

'Thank you, brother! I love it!

 And he hugged me. .........haha. I'm going to forgive everything just for this. For a moment, it seemed that Zeke was also dealing with the demon woman, Dorothea-san, and it was a relief to see that Phelia was wearing a constraint collar, albeit reluctantly.

 If she left it off! I couldn't accept that, because I couldn't just accept that.

 In addition, we're checking on the soldiers who died in this break-in and assessing the damage to the city. I'm not going to be able to get any more information on this. I'm in the process of replacing the destroyed magical barrier with a spare one. There.

'Ray, I don't care what's going on here, I just want you to go to Zeke's.

 Ellis asked me to do so. But I shake my head.

''We can't leave with the situation here not yet secure. We have a spare magic barrier in place, so you'll have to wait a bit.''

But in the meantime, the war is going on. A surprise attack like this here means something could be going on over there. So it's good to be here, and for Ray...

 I didn't tell you that. I didn't come alone.

That's okay.

What?

 Eris didn't understand what was being said and tilted her head at Coten.

'Because over there, Nanor's strongest was headed over there.

 ◇ ◇ ◇.

 Lanwalker Frontierland Border Fort
"Fort Larsil.

Charge!

"Whoa!

 Shit, we're in trouble. I press down on the wound and give instructions to the other soldiers.

"Master Zeke, you must tend to your wound!

'None of this can wait! Better yet, don't let any more Regalians enter the fort! We must stop it at all costs!

 I bring my spear back up, too, and head for the regalia army that's coming up. The other soldiers are holding them back, but some of them are able to slip through. Their goal is to open the gate or stop the magical barrier.

 If we can open the gate, all the soldiers will flow in at once, and if we can stop the magic barrier, they can move in with spatial magic.

 We have to stop them at all costs! Marco was able to break through and get in. Marco struggled, but he's covered in wounds all over. Any more blood would be fatal.

 He cleaves the enemy, but again.

I'm not going through!
 
 The boy barges in. The boy's ability is probably a little lower than mine. But every time we go at it, his movements get a little better and better. It's a real pain in the ass. The more you do this, the stronger you become.

"Say it!

Huh!

 Me and the boy hit each other over and over again. The wounds on both of our bodies are growing, but neither of us are backing down. Just when I thought that this abduction was not going to happen

"Cleave the Storm Empress.

 A voice that shouldn't have been heard. It's a calm, atmospheric voice, but it's more than enough to make my body tremble. Why is that man here.....

 And this feeling of a chill down my spine. This is.........not good! I was already screaming.

"Everybody down!

 The Nanor soldiers got down on the spur of the moment, but the Regalians must have seen this as an opportunity. They attacked us with even more voice than before, but at that moment

 Dung!

 and a mass of wind that fell from the sky. The mass fell on top of the Regalia army and exploded. An unbelievable gust of wind blew, and the regalia army that was hit directly by it flew through the air with the force of the excessive wind.

 The wind was so strong that we, who were lying on the ground, would be blown away if we didn't stick to the ground. The regalia army was in trouble.

 Three more shots were fired. One was at Marco's place. The other two landed on the cloud ladder. The cloud ladder had crumpled and broken apart, its parts blowing off and creating new damage. And just getting close enough to it was enough of a breeze to almost blow it away.

My God, was that too much?

 This was the moment when the strongest of the Nanor Kingdom joined the war.
