Chapter 171: Silvery Lightning
The moment I saw Elna got blown away, my mind became pure white.
In that state, I turn toward the Spirit Turtle.
What are you doing to my childhood friend..!!
Muttering so in a small voice, I gather magic power in both of my hands to prepare arge-scale magic.
However, I got stopped by Orihime.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING! HURRY UP AND GET THEM AWAY FROM THERE!!
Hearing Orihime, I turned my eyes to the ce where the children were..
Inside the barrier Orihime erected, the children are still there, crying.
Seeing that, I managed to regain a little of my calm.
They are the children that Elna was prepared to die for. It was because Elna stood her ground that Orihime managed to protect them in time.
I cant let her effort go to waste.
Kuh!
When I went to the childrens side using transfer magic, I found a boy and a girl.
The strong-willed looking girl is crying at the scene of disaster before her eyes while the boy is trying tofort her.
The soldiersaid that we would be saved if wee this way..!!
D, dont cryeverything will be alright..
For some reason, this scene ovepped with how I and Elna used to be.
I have always been the one that cried but there are times that Elna cried as well, in a time like that, I tried my best to suppress my tears.
It was because I felt that I needed to do something.
Its alright now.
Gently put my hands on the childrens heads, I opened the transfer gate. This gate will transfer them to the city Leo and the others escaped to.
After you go through here, shout for Prince Leonard. If you do that you will surely be saved.
The girl kept crying and couldnt reply to me.
Thats why I look at the boy.
You can do it, right? You have to be the one who protects her now.
..Un!
Replying so, the boy takes the girls hand and enters the transfer gate.
Now, one problem is gone.
After seeing them off, I use the transfer again to go to Elnas side.
Elna..!
I rush over to her as I call out her name.
Elna was lying down, unconscious.
To not let go of the holy sword even in such a condition, as expected of her huh. As far as I can see, she didnt suffer any heavy injury but if shes unconscious then she cant fight anymore.
When I was trying to get her away from this ce, I was suddenly crushed by gravity.
Tsk!
Clicking my tongue, I set up a barrier around Elna and me.
It saw a chance to attack because Elna is unconscious huh. Well, of course, it did.
I would never let an opportunity like this go too.
After I set up a barrier to lessen the effect of the crushing gravity, I turned toward the Spirit Turtle.
The Spirit Turtle also turned toward me while opening its mouth.
Trying to finish us off with a full power ze huh.
As expected of an SS-rank monster.
Seems like it knows when it should attack.
But since it is a monster, there is something that it doesnt know as well.
Thats how I want it.I will take you head on..!!
Sometimes human beings also do unreasonable things.
Facing it directly would be disadvantageous for me.
In a time like this, avoiding it would be better. I know that well.
However.
I pay you back in full here, Spirit Turtle! When its time for payback I always return it twofold!!
Elna is my important childhood friend.
When we were children.
She was the one who always protected me when I couldnt use ancient magic. I couldnt count how many times I got saved by Elna.
It was because she was there that I am here.
It hurt her, not to mention that it took the chance when she tried to protect the children.
It may be strange to get angry at a monster but even if she wasnt at her full readiness, it did hurt her.
Even if she wasnt fully prepared, Elnas pride would be hurt by that.
Elna is always strong and confident.
Someone that taints that figure of her is unforgivable.
[[I am one who know the principle of silverI am one who has been chosen as the true silver]]
Whispering themon chant of Silver Destruction magic, I stretch my hands out and release my magic power.
Something like a ze, I will just annihte it.
[[Silver thunder appears from the skyDescend down and razes the earth]]
Perhaps it understands what I am intending to do, the Spirit Turtle also gathers more power into its ze to match my magic.
Its eyes are saying that a mere human shouldnt get in its way but what I want to say in return is Dont get cocky you damn turtle.
[[The heat of this Silver Thunder is the symbol of heavens mightThe sound of this Silver Thunder is the word of God]]
A huge magic circle emerges from my hand and Silver Thunder begins to make a crackling noise.
On the other hand, the Spirit Turtle is beginning to release its ck ze that is far stronger than what it shot out before.
It would bepletely different from the one it just released.
That is probably how dangerous it judges me and Elna to be.
Fine by me.
Bright Heavenly Lightning of DestructionDark Heavenly Lightning deO Silver Thunder roaring within my handShow the Will of the Silver Heaven]]
The magic circle grew even bigger and the silver lightning showed its formpletely. Joining my hands together, I shout out the name of my magic.
[[SilveryLightning]]
A huge silver thunder is shot at the Spirit Turtle. At the same time, the Spirit Turtle also released a ck spherical ze from its mouth.
Both made contact at the space between me and the Spirit Turtle. The ck and silver collide and emit enough energy to terraform the surrounding area.
Kuh..!!
But I have a little disadvantage here.
Silver Destruction magic does not exert its full power unless you spend enough time to let it umte magic power.
This Silvery Lightning is about 80 percent of its power. Itsck of power is undeniable.
Even so, I will push that ze back with what magic power I have.
Perhaps it found me troublesome, the Spirit Turtle strengthens the gravity on me and Elna.
Feeling the effect of the strong gravity, I dispel the barrier around myself and strengthen the barrier around Elna.
With the sudden heaviness, my knee hit the ground.
Despite that, my focus was never interrupted. If I lose my consciousness here, Elna would be swallowed by the ze.
And the undefeated legend of Silver will end.
If the two greatest powers of the Empire disappear at the same time, what waiting for the Empire would be hell.
I am carrying the future of the Empire on my shoulders.
I thought so for a moment andughed.
Ridiculous..like hell I would care about the Empires future
In the first ce, that is not like me at all.
It was because I hate things like that I became an adventurer to live freely.
What I am always trying to protect is those that are important to me.
The Empire is important but it is not what I most care about.
I raise from my knee.
Remember who I truly am, I regained my energy.
Come at me as hard as you wantI have already decided that I will not let any harm be done to those around me!
The silver thunder that was gradually pushed back little by little push back against the ck sphere all at once.
It then prates through the ck ze and reaches the Spirit Turtle.
However, the silver thunder weakened by the ck ze would not damage it.
With no damage done to it, the Spirit Turtle looks my way.
However, that is a mistake.
It paid too much attention to us.
To not notice even when I am this close. Silver must be that dangerous in your eyes huh.
Egor takes a stance with his cane on top of the turtles shell.
His sword sheathed into a sword drawing stance.
Then.
Why do you think people call me the Sword Saint?
After that question, Egor draws his sword and shes at the shell with the speed of god.
Its because there is nothing I cant cut.
GUGAHHHHH!!!!!!
A long andrge wound runs on the shell of the Spirit Turtle and blood gushes from it.
Egor retreats from the thrashing Spirit Turtle but now there is a gap on its absolute defense.
Just one more push.
At that moment, I heard a voice from behind me.
..Al.?
TLN: So this is arguably a better cliff right? Muhahahahha
