I Became a Dark Knight the Empress Is Obsessed With

171 – Millia Liantour – (3)

Kwakwakwakwang!

“Ugh, euaaa!”

A series of explosive sounds were heard above my head.

The fierce battle between the Apostle of Corruption Arwen and the Guardian Knight Millia Liantur. The aftermath was felt all the way to the ground.

At the same time, an explosion accompanied by a tremendous flash of light occurred at the distant inner castle gate.

I heard that there was a fight going on at the gate between the leader of the sect and the Guardians. The deafening explosions had been going on for dozens of minutes already.

An ordinary article would be able to maintain composure even in this total chaos.

However, Cora, who was just a mere soldier and not well trained, was an exception.

That was also quite an exception.

“Oh, why is it like this!”

thud!

The vibration rang.

The land has moved away.

No, no. He just got thrown into the air.

“Ugh, euaaah!”

Cora floundered in the air and fell face first into the ground.

Coffee was running down his nose and he could taste something like iron and dirt at the corner of his mouth. His helmet had already been torn off in the chaos and was rolling around on the ground.

“It’s the worst, it’s the worst!”

The words of the knight he serves, Fried Iscoval, come to mind.

A suggestion to leave the capital for a while until things calmed down. Cora refused, as she was a servant of the knights. She thought that was the right thing to do.

But when the attack on the church became a reality, I changed my mind.

No, I had no choice but to fix it.

“Just! Just! I should have run away!”

In the clash of two great forces, Korra was just a burden, no better than a stone rolling on the side of the road.

It wasn’t of any help, it was just like a shrimp getting its back broken in a fight between whales.

That was the moment.

Kwakwakwang!

Another explosion rang out.

This time, unlike before, black objects began to fall from the sky.

Those black objects looked familiar.

Aren’t those the monsters that Korra was slicing like crazy at National Foundation Day?

“Growling.”

“Hipp.”

A few of them rose up and began to slowly wander around.

Naturally, their attention turned to Cora, who was lying alone in the courtyard.

Swallowing her breath, Korra looked around. The other soldiers had already fled long ago. Korra was the only one left.

“ha ha ha.”

Why didn’t you run away?

Oh, that’s right. I’ll assist you, sir… … .

“You idiot! You should have been farming!”

Korra took up her sword, suppressing her anger alone.

That knight is not here now. He went to stop the apostle who appeared behind the palace with the vampire woman. The other knights of the royal guard also came out to fight the apostle who arrived at the gate.

In other words, aid is not expected.

Besides, behind where Cora is, there is a supply base. The wounded will be overflowing and receiving treatment from the priests. That means, if I die and monsters rush into the supply base… … .

“That won’t do!”

Cora vowed.

And then he slowly walked forward and swung his sword.

Fortunately, perhaps thanks to Fried’s guidance, Korra’s swordsmanship had improved by leaps and bounds compared to a year ago. Every time the sword cut through the air, the monster’s limbs fell off.

Crunch.

“Kweeek!”

“Ugh!”

He lowers his head sharply. The monster’s fist grazes the crown of his head.

But this did not even fall into the category of a crisis.

Phew!

If necessary, he would pick up a spear that had fallen on the ground and stab the guy in the stomach.

One by one, we dealt with the monsters safely.

A little hope came to me. That I could be of help. And that I could do one thing on my own.

Cora’s expectations were shattered the next moment.

“Growling!”

“ah.”

A noticeably huge monster.

Cora made a small noise in front of that body that was literally as big as a mountain.

It seemed to be the same monster that had nearly brought Korra to the brink of death during the attack on the Great Hall.

But she is in no position to be picky. And over the past year, Korra has grown significantly. She is no longer her old self.

Cora braced herself and prepared to fight, holding her sword.

however.

Then the b*stard raised his fist and swung it down.

Kwakang!

“Ah, eueeeek!”

Cora just floated up and down.

This much destructive power with just one stomp.

It seemed like that monster had grown up too.

“……ha ha ha?”

Cora sat down and watched the monster slowly approaching.

The huge body looked like a messenger of death walking towards him to pronounce his death.

In the end, that was the limit.

“Eww! Please save me!”

Cora screamed at the top of her lungs, and the sound of her scream caused even the monsters in front of her to stop in their tracks.

But after a few seconds, only silence remained.

There really was no one who could save Cora.

“Grow up.”

The monster came right in front of Korra with a mocking roar and raised its huge fist.

Tears naturally form at the corners of my eyes.

Am I going to die screaming like this?

At that moment, Cora screamed desperately.

Ugh.

Just like before, a silver line cut through the monster’s body.

At the same time, a silver sword flew in from somewhere and stabbed the monster in the chest.

“Uh, huh?”

Raise your head.

“Ugh!”

The sound of the wind howling.

A dark shape passed over Cora’s head.

Upon closer inspection, it was Fred Iscobal.

He flew straight towards the monster and raised his left leg.

Crunch.

He had driven the sword hilt into the monster’s body with a kick.

Then the monster’s body split into two, and it lost control and fell down.

“Why do your repertoires seem so similar?”

Fried said that while scratching his cheek, and Cora said what she wanted to say while sobbing.

“It’s because of you, sir! Take responsibility!”

“Me, me?”

Cora lifted her cotton-like hand and beat Fried’s chest hard.

And then, the spirit flying behind it had a rotten expression on its face.

*

First, Cora was sent to a relatively safe supply base.

It was decided to deal with the monsters appearing in the courtyard through Emma.

“Kid, then you.”

“I’m going to hit Arwen.”

I raised my head and looked at the sky where a fierce battle was unfolding.

There, Arwen and Millia, the apostles of corruption, were engaged in a fierce battle. The night sky was filled with bright lights as the dazzling magic and Sepia’s evil power clashed.

On the surface, it seemed like they were evenly matched, but Millia was at a disadvantage. Arwen never got tired due to her overflowing power, but Millia couldn’t. No matter how much of a Liantur, unless she was an Irregular like Seira, her mana capacity was limited.

‘… … Above all else.’

I hardened my face.

The worst I could have imagined was those two facing off right now.

In the original, Milia is killed by Arwen. In order to prevent this as much as possible, even Sayra was brought in, but Sayra is currently missing.

Even though I took out my magic tool and contacted him a little while ago, there was no return signal.

The disappearance of the curtain on foreign news means that… … .

“No way.”

I try to suppress my anxiety.

In any case, separating those two was the top priority.

I headed towards the spire, as it was the highest point in the area.

I ran up the stairs, one step at a time, and climbed up the ladder on the balcony of the spire to the top floor.

By then the battle was already tilted to one side.

Arwen’s all-out attack, using Sepia, slowly ate away at Millia’s protective magic, and Millia’s expression turned extremely pale, as if her mana was starting to run out.

“Tsk.”

If things continue this way, it is natural that Millia will be defeated by Arwen.

There was no more delay.

While I was putting mana into Ernst, I moved the center of the mana in my body to my lower body.

It wasn’t difficult since I had already done it several times during the workshop and at Hirings.

“Whew. Let’s try it.”

I just gave it my all and kicked the spire.

Kwajijijik!

The top floor of the spire was completely destroyed by the recoil.

But it didn’t matter. Thanks to that, I became a knight who flew in the night sky.

In an instant, it flies across the ground, or rather, the sky.

The direction I was flying was not Arwen. I didn’t have the skill to change direction in the air. In that situation, rushing at Sepia was tantamount to suicide.

That’s why I jumped into Millia.

“Milia!”

At my shout, Milia opened her eyes wide as she saw me doing a sergeant jump of hundreds of meters.

Yeah, I guess she was flustered. But I was jumping into her arms faster than she could react.

thud!

The two bodies collided, and for a moment, it felt like a soft touch.

I opened my eyes wide and wrapped one arm tightly around Milia’s waist.

Milia was flustered and tried to struggle, but as soon as my hand touched her side, she became quiet with a hissing breath.

And then, Milia and I, who had been suspended in the air, slowly, but with acceleration, began to plummet to the ground.

Phew.

The sound of a strong wind brushes my ears.

A dizzying sensation tingled and attacked my scalp.

Even if you surround yourself with mana, if you fall from this height, you will be seriously injured at the very least.

But it’s not that there’s no room for belief.

“Lincia!”

Shouted loudly.

Lincia, who controls the entire palace through the spirits, would definitely have heard my screams.

As expected.

Woohoo.

My body began to feel lighter and my falling speed began to slow down.

Looking up, I saw small, low-level wind spirits resembling wigs radiating their power as they surrounded Milia.

The wind spirit, who seemed to be the leader of the group, had the same expression on her face as when Lincia puffed out her cheeks when she was alone.

“ha ha ha.”

Perhaps, this is the expression Lincia is making right now.
