Please Do Not Abandon the Adopted Heroine

167 – Jong-yeon

Damn… !

The broken ice breaks into small pieces and scatters into the sky.

When Undine rounded her hands, the magical energy surrounding her suddenly dispersed.

“『The frozen razor sharpens, to zero point.』”

A sharp-edged piece of ice follows the enemy in a dizzying trajectory.

The two warriors skillfully dealt with them by blocking or avoiding them.

It is not ahead in terms of speed. In that case, we have no choice but to strike them down at speeds exceeding the speed of sound.

Undine immediately injected magical power into another margin she had stocked in advance.

“『Water Jet』”

Undine’s signature.

Sigh!

The moment it touches the water stream, which is divided into dozens of branches, it vibrates so sharply that it separates flesh and bones.

Normally, I would never have thought of operating it on such a wide scale. As the place was a snowy field, there was nothing to worry about. Even if the surrounding area is devastated, no one gets hurt and no damage occurs.

That’s why they continued their fierce battle with each other.

In the technical field, it is not easy to judge. In that case, all that is left is the amount of horsepower.

“… ha. ha… … ”

How much magical power is left in the future? ?

While I was assessing it, a flashing sword blade struck me from behind.

It does not contain magical power. Pure swordsmanship. However, it is already an acrobatic movement that is far beyond that of a human being. You are the hero of the Third Holy Sword. Undine immediately cast Teleport.

“Tsk… ! “You foxy b*tch!”

“Hehe. “The fox has a friend of mine. Would you like me to introduce you to Cecilia?”

I barely changed the direction of the water jet. Even though it involves manipulating magical power, it is quite a burden.

The two warriors’ movements flowed organically. The crown prince reads and fills the path opened by the hero of the Third Holy Sword. Undine managed to disperse the swords of the two warriors by letting go of her self-immolation and reverse-summoning her. The gap wasn’t so easy to find.

And that goes for them too.

Undine also had no intention of being treated quietly.

The hero of the Third Holy Sword clucks his tongue as if he is disappointed.

“Crazy b*tch. “I commend you for not being pushed back while facing two holy sword warriors.”

“Oh my, can you please tell me that I am in the process of being overwhelmed? “He is one of the few people not only in the empire but also among his blood relatives who can shamelessly borrow the power of the holy sword and join forces with those who know no shame.”

“hot… ! How dare this b*stard… !”

“You know you’re lucky. “I’m just doing it because my master said, ‘Don’t kill me,’ and subduing you is easier than blowing your nose at the tail of a fire demon.”

Undine curled the corners of her mouth.

I had to give him a nice punch, but in reality, I was starting to struggle a lot.

… I had been bragging to Eugene that I could buy time, so now I couldn’t ask for help. Undine’s pride did not allow it.

Just when I was pondering a brief conflict.

Suddenly, I heard a rustling noise coming from underneath the surrounding rocks, where there should have been nothing.

“It’s an undine! “I met you by chance while playing!”

“It’s Undine! “Manwol told me to hang out here, but I met him!”

“Where is the sick Ignis?”

“Ignis is lying down because he’s sick!”

“Wow, the heroes are attacking Undine right now?”

“Wow, I’m watching too! Two people are fighting! I learned it from Crescent Moon! That… hmm… That… all… all… “It’s Dagul!”

“The heroes are bad! “It’s bad if multiple people harass you!”

“Shall we help you?”

“If we help, there are three people on our side, including Undine!”

“Then we win?”

“Uhm… one… two… three… ? There are three! Win.”

“But we can’t fight hard right now!”

“I have no magic power! Then let’s get it from Undine!”

A corner of the magic tower. Moon phases.

The twins of the first full moon.

Why on earth are they here?

Is it a full moon?

Or was it sent by the crescent moon?

It would be natural to think of it as support from the Magic Tower.

In the current situation, it would have been an excellent power, but Undine’s face could not help but turn cold at the twins’ innocent conversation.

… They say they use magic power… ?

how… ?

I’m serious?

“Pull it out! Nothing left! Let’s make it ours!”

“Let’s pick, pick! “Suck it up and make it ours!”

You’re serious.

“city… no.”

Undine whipped around with a trembling voice.

Until just now, I thought I could somehow win.

With two holy sword warriors, it would be a struggle, but I was confident that I would win in the end. I was confident.

But that’s only possible if there are no factors interfering with Undine.

It would be a different story if the twins were to drain what little magical power they had left.

It’s taking away magic power.

These are extremely vicious and cruel words.

Winning or losing didn’t matter anymore.

If they pull out the magic, even the roots… In other words, it was clear that he would be pulled until he died.

And Undine knew very, very well, to the point of getting sick of them, that they were people who could do such ridiculous things without even changing their countenance.

“city… Sigh… no! “Sir-ra-ra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-ra-li”

“Undine is broken! “Don’t miss it!”

“Run away! Gotta catch it! “Magic bag!”

“Owner niiiiiiiim ugh…” Please help me!”

The frightened undine rolled around on the floor.

Please die. I don’t want to be disenchanted and become a mummy. Also on the same side!

“OK.”

A voice was heard from the sky.

When Undine raised her face covered in tears, Eugene was there, as if it were a lie.

“… … “What are you doing, you guys?”

“… master?”

Undine rushed in with joy. Sadness explodes.

“Huhhh… I’m telling you right now… I almost died… Sanghyeondal said, “I’m sorry…” … Same… On the same side… “Sniff!”

“”and! It’s Eugene!””

“… “I asked for a signal, but I never asked for it in this way.”

“The emperor?” Sanghyeondal asked. “Where are you?”

Eugene silently deployed a defensive technique and gestured behind his back.

Three holy swords.

The two warriors who had been quietly exploring the situation moved first. The hero of the 1st Holy Sword and the hero of the 3rd Holy Sword opened a path to escape, and in between them, the emperor appeared, tearing Eugene’s defense techniques to shreds.

As if being forcibly reverse summoned wasn’t a good thing, he let out an angry look with a red face.

“This time it’s a snowy field, so you’re making a fool of me!!”

“… … “Two feet.”

“… … what?”

A bunch of meteors cross the sky.

You shouldn’t even have time to open your mouth.

The dark sky became bright again.

***

“… what? “Didn’t you hear a strange sound at the end?”

“Concentrate! “If you have time to talk, please focus on assisting Minah.”

Reds and Blues got into a fight.

Anastasia, who did not miss that brief opportunity, lashed out with her holy sword, and a storm of sword energy flew in all directions.

Since both have murderous intentions toward the Holy Sword’s hero, both meet the conditions for the Holy Sword’s liberation.

The moment the 2nd Holy Sword and the 6th Holy Sword collided, the sword and sword were unable to overcome each other’s magical power and were separated.

Cecilia inserted her signature into the gap. The heat source that starts from a small ember grows uncontrollably in an instant.

The Reds stepped forward to keep Cecilia in check, and in the meantime, the Blues cast a dispel.

How many battles has it been already?

The good news was that Anastasia and Lee Min-ah were on the same level.

But that confrontation did not last long.

thud!

An extremely artificial roar that cannot be easily heard in a snowy field.

Cecilia is the first to react to the bizarre and violent sight, as if a huge bomb falls from the sky and explodes.

“The princess.”

“Uh, huh?”

“… This smell is a blood relative. And that person… … ”

The man who appeared through the dust was Ha Hyeon-dal of the Magic Tower.

He sighed as he smoothed out his messy hair.

“… Fuck. “The best we can do is guide signals, so we’ll have to kill Manwol at some point.”

“consanguinity!”

Parangi shouted, her voice cracking and trembling.

Ha Hyeon-dal glanced at the party members of the 6th Holy Sword with a dull look and asked briefly.

“Are you the heroes of the 6th Holy Sword?”

“Tsk… In times like this, even blood relatives… ”

“We don’t have time, so let’s go quickly. There you are, holding the six-star sword.”

Ha Hyeon-dal, who briefly called Lee Min-ah, bent his head and looked at the sky.

“If you don’t want to be attacked, pick up the holy sword. Bring out all the power of the holy sword within. “Until the moment the Holy Sword’s ego breaks.”

“… what.”

“… … Are you deaf? Then we have to search.”

“What is that… … ”

Cecilia, who had been watching the meaningless conversation from afar, perked up her fox ears.

“The princess.”

“huh?”

“Look at the sky.”

One last step.

***

“Did you plan from the beginning to neutralize my holy sword?”

“I know the Holy Sword best. Even if the warriors here gather up all the time they spent fighting with their swords, they won’t be able to match the time I spent doing all kinds of shit in the snowy fields. “I know best what the Holy Sword’s most fatal weakness is.”

“… … … ”

“The goddess’s side. In the end, it is an imperfect self that is broken from one being. It melts more easily than ice, and more absurdly than glass… “It breaks.”

“Is this a foolish experience?”

“Then this is a wise experience and advice. Of course, even if I found out now, it doesn’t mean anything.”

I said, shrugging my shoulders. The emperor smiled almost mockingly.

“under… … . My excitement is broken. The Magic Tower doesn’t live up to expectations either. “I can’t believe that these are the only tactics used by the blood relatives who nest in the snowy fields.”

“of course. All we have to do is destroy the holy sword, so why would Manwol go out on his own? “You guys have no romance.”

“I pay my respects to Manwol’s signature, which goes beyond the capabilities of the Holy Sword. But you made a crucial mistake. You just said that meteor was the last shot, right? “Manwol’s signature is now over.”

“… … … .”

“More than anything, it is true that the Holy Sword is needed for the plan that Jim dreams of, completely restoring the snowy plains, but he is nervous because the Holy Sword’s ego is only broken in this way… … ”

“If you have time to make such an assumption, wouldn’t it be better to count the remaining holy swords in your hands?”

When I interrupted the emperor’s conversation and spoke in a loud tone, the Sanghyeondal twins squealed and whispered among themselves.

“I used the Fifth Holy Sword first!”

“Next, the Third Holy Sword!”

“They said it was the 6th Holy Sword over there!”

“How many holy swords are left?”

The crown prince’s 1st Holy Sword and the stolen 4th Holy Sword are still in their hands.

As he said, the signature that Manwol promised is now over.

now… … I will have to finish it myself.

“… You’re here just in time. “The remaining holy sword.”

I asked Undine in advance.

The people on the other side, including Cecilia and Anastasia, fell one by one from the air.

“uh… what? here is… ?”

“Anastasia. “I’m borrowing it for a moment.”

I accepted Cecilia and Anastasia.

As soon as she put it down on the floor, Anastasia slowly took out the second holy sword that she was holding in her arms and leapt forward.

Anastasia was so startled that she let out a half-screamed scream.

“teacher… Oh no, Eugene! If you grab the sword… !”

The emperor smiled quietly while looking at me.

“Oh my. Are you planning to grab the holy sword? “You won’t be able to hold a sword.”

“I can’t help it. “I have no choice but to hold on for a while.”

“This is my first time seeing you swing the holy sword. Yunheohaji. Come prepared to kill me. I would feel at ease if I could kill you here. “Don’t even think about running away like before.”

“Killing people, what do you think of them… … “No matter how much my parents abandoned me, I am not a teacher whose character was destroyed to the point of killing my parents in front of my children.”

Cheeeeeek… ..

The hand holding the sword slowly begins to burn.

It is a curse and nothing more than a warning. Such a playful gesture.

It was a warning that was close to advice, not to hold the sword, not to hold it, but

Any word is just a pun.

“It’s the same for Magic Tower and me. If I had just wanted to kill you, I would have done it right away. “Because there was no way for the Empire to stop the Magic Tower except for the ‘Hero Neferna’ who killed it with her own hands.”

So, this is the last time.

“Killing you doesn’t mean much. Even if you are not there, similar guys will continue to pour in. I’m sure.”

The skin melts away and the muscles slowly begin to burn.

The blood that rebounded from the holy sword splattered in all directions, and my right arm became distorted to the point where it was difficult to think of it as a living thing anymore.

“So I guess I should do what I can too.”

How to wield a holy sword.

How to handle a holy sword.

If there is meaning to the dozens, hundreds, and thousands of days,

If the words the Holy Sword said that day had meaning,

Due to the actions of the holy sword that left me in the end,

I gave up,

And if there is meaning in the failed process,

‘The Holy Sword is a tool.’

‘You mustn’t forget that.’

‘Eugene. ‘You can’t be swayed by tools.’

One day, she, the Holy Sword told me…

The value of the Second Holy Sword is freedom.

There was nothing to hesitate about in the last glance.
