Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 322

As was clearly revealed in the battle with Envelde, I do not properly recognize aurors or strong people who have trained in magic, but I have no complaints about that..

It's a bit unfortunate that others can't even think of learning a skill that they can learn with a little effort... Not only was there no reason to make a fuss at someone else who was an unprecedented user of magic power, but anyway, even in my past life, I didn't know if the other person was stronger or weaker than me. It was a problem that was usually difficult to recognize at a glance, so I can live with it..

Still, this doesn't mean that they have lost their cowardice and appear to be inferior to me. On the contrary, unless it is a very rare situation, I tend to always be very nervous....

The tension is now at its peak..

"Fuck how many are there?!?"

"Joe, you're screwed.!"

Even those who voice frustration and anxiety are innocent this time. Although there must have been damage from the magic that the dragon knights just unleashed, there were a lot of them running towards them. As far as I could see, there were dozens of them running through the fire..

Not the common barbaric Orcs, but Orc soldiers wearing leather armor and iron armor, running on top of monsters too ferocious and large to be called wolves, as Catherine said. Apart from the threat that can be felt in a deeply fantasy sense, such as understanding the degree of strength through tangible energy, the threat brought by pure quantity and mass was a form that was familiar to me as well..

Pressure as if you were facing a speeding dump truck..

Even though the dragon knights are still shooting magic up there, there are more of them running backwards? When the number decreases, the Orcs start thinking about how to survive for themselves? What it means is so clear that I can't even deny the reality..

If those guys attack, it won't take 10 minutes for the village to be devastated..

"Eld! This needs to be retreated! We can't handle that number now.!"

Just now, a particularly fast horse, presumed to be a horseman, rushed into our formation without hesitation and was crushed by Catherine's blow, but instead of boosting morale, Asilier hurriedly grabbed me and said, As I looked at her in this mood, cold sweat running down her spine even though her body was still warm from the warmth given to her by her spirit, I saw a serious expression on her face. The question passed by.

"...ld?"

I don't know what kind of expression I'm making, but it looks like an expression that's far from running away. That's what I'm thinking right now, so it's only natural. I answered with a laugh and then said to Laika..

"Laika, it's possible to get bigger?"

[As long as you have horsepower!]

"Come on, let's have some fun today."

Contrary to appearances, he is a steel dog that even I couldn't properly tank, so I guess I can tank even if I can't. Even if one crazy orc ran too early, it wouldn't take even a minute for the rest of them to rush in here, so I had to do everything I could..

Even though every time the magical energy passes, the strength in my knees also decreases and pain sweeps through my entire body..

I don't know if it was because there were still a few dozen seconds left before the collision, but I heard the murmurs of adventurers who had enough time to look our way..

"Hey, what is that again?...?"

"What the hell is going on?!"

The reaction was harsh. They're working hard to create a lifeline for themselves.

It doesn't return to the armor-clad wolf-like form it had when we first met. The Welsh Corgi simply evolves into a giant Welsh Corgi. But sometimes simple cosmetic changes are more effective..

If the Welsh Corgi has become so large that even the large Orc cavalrymen have to look up slightly, even if its appearance is not threatening, they will have no choice but to hesitate..

[Hmm? Something, something else... Okay.!]

Is it different from what you expected? Whatever it was, Laika, who had grown to her full size, seemed to think that it was not a bad outcome, and without hesitation rushed towards the Orc cavalry..

"Squeak??"

The allies were scared, and the orcs were surprised. If it had looked scary, it would have been easier to accept the situation and choose to attack Laika, but the orcs who quickly closed the distance showed embarrassment rather than hostility, and the price of such a delayed reaction was high..

"Knock, kow.!"

"Quii Iik!!"

Even though Laika's size had grown, her movements were still quick. It took less than 20 seconds for the guy, who ran at a speed that could be said to be unreasonable and instantly smashed through a tree from the side, to destroy their first line of battle with an Orc cavalry in its mouth..

The fact that their charge was faltered by that sudden attack was a great achievement, but unlike the horses, the horsemen reacted quickly and tried to dodge by rolling their bodies, so the riders were unable to even put up a proper resistance and were crushed to death beneath them. What was confirmed was a bigger harvest.

"Demon beast! Aim for the devil! Unlike horses, they try to survive even if it means crushing their rider! Don't forget that it's not a horse, it's a magic beast.!"

Even in a situation that was no different from the crucible of chaos, Karl Gulls, who witnessed the scene exactly, pounded his sword on the shield and shouted, but learning about their weaknesses did not mean that our spirit rose again. There were too many enemies for that, and no matter how quickly Laika moved, she couldn't slaughter that many enemies alone..

As I was lying on the floor watching the whole scene, there were only two options that came to mind. Somehow raise your magic power to use the needle and run away..

I'm very tempted by the latter option because my body rejected my will and hit rock bottom just because I gave Laika a little more horsepower. She's really sick.

"ld?!"

"are you okay. I'm just dizzy...."

I managed to answer to Asilier, who hurriedly helped me up, but just opening my mouth to do so made me feel nauseous. It was a strange feeling. Normally, I would have felt that my body was depleting magical power, but I didn't feel any such sign at all, but instead, all my senses felt delicious. The only thing I really feel is the intense pain and trembling that makes me not know what to do..

But it wasn't a completely new sensation. Because there was some similarity to what I felt when I crossed the gate that the demons had touched..

"Rejection due to excessive horsepower? Overreaction? The magic organ is..."

"Eh, L.D.?"

Asilier's voice sounds faint. She can't tell if she's talking to herself or thinking. Even though her stomach was turning, her body was trembling with pain, and her eyes were rolling, there was no problem with the act of moving her body itself. It was a very hectic situation, so I said a word to the worried woman that it was okay. I couldn't even afford to do it..

"But one thing is certain..."

My senses are just distorted and painful. It moves. Maybe I was mistaken for thinking I was fine due to abnormal symptoms, but maybe that would be better right now..

"Whoa, whoa... Epaga. I believe you are watching."

If you can move and use magical power, you can fight. I don't know how far the aftereffects will go, but... I have no choice but to trust only Epaga, who arranged this body..

"...Eld...!"

"Yes...l...or more....!"

The whole world is mixed up. Yes, Katrina's upper body seems to stretch like oil in her water, but then she suddenly becomes enlarged and comes right in front of her nose. Was she really coming? She seems far away.

I moved my limbs with poor vision and sense of balance, as if I was suffering from a high fever. Don't try to force your balance. I just take the pose, believing in the training I've been doing over and over again to the point of vomiting blood. Then, even though I felt like I was going to fall to the ground, I was able to stand upright..

There is no separate process of deepening the senses that requires careful control of each and every movement while drunk. I hope my movements right now aren't funny..

"...!"

Asilier's face looked distorted like a monk's scream and I couldn't tell what she was saying, but it was obvious that she was worried about me. I don't know if she really laughed because of her twisted senses, but she at least pretended to laugh..

After that, in order to stir up the boiling magic power that seemed to burn everything underneath my skin, I whistled to draw the orcs' attention to me even a little..

◈

Both Catherine and Asili stood up with difficulty and looked at Eldmia, who suddenly drew her sword and took a stance, not knowing what to do..

Clearly, Eldmia's condition was not normal just a moment ago. Not only did he not respond to the voice, he did not even recognize the orc cavalry that had rushed into close range. He remained unresponsive even as Asilier's arrow pierced the orc's forehead and Ye Katrina's war hammer crushed his demon beast's skull..

I had said that my physical condition was not perfect, but was it this serious? Or did something go wrong with the dog that was once a magic sword??

The moment Yekatrina, who was surprised, hurriedly approached and was about to reach out to the fallen Eldmia, Eldmia stood up as if nothing had happened, drew her sword, and took a stance..

"Eh, LDI?! It's okay?!"

Asilier, who was almost in tears, hurriedly checked Eldmia's eyes, but they were not in focus. She had a hard time understanding what was happening. The movements Eld Mia showed were by no means those of someone who had been lying on the floor just moments before, unable to even get up properly. The process of drawing her sword and assuming the upper posture was as natural as flowing water and there was no shaking at all..

If you had seen it from afar, you would have believed Eldmia was fine..

"Eldmia! Do you hear me...? No, am I sane??"

Catherine was equally upset. It is true that her attack was delayed thanks to Laika's rampage, but that was only a 'delay' and not a 'stop'. The cavalrymen who had avoided the fire and Laika were already rushing in and attempting to attack..

As Orcs who risk their lives in the fight right before their eyes, the only consolation is that there are no people running past the camp and running to the village. Their charge is different from dealing with cavalry, so even the mercenaries' square is at risk..

I had to decide between picking up Eldmia, who was in bad condition, and running away, or leaving her behind... but what he showed me just added to the confusion..

The posture is perfect. But I have no idea what state my mind is in. Just as she was starting to wonder if it was just something her body remembered and moved, Eldmia looked at Asilier and smiled..

"ld?"

No, it seemed like he just raised the corners of his mouth like he was smiling..

Are you conscious? So, are you doing this to reassure me? Doesn't the fact that you can't even speak and your eyes are still out of focus mean that it's not normal? Does it make you laugh? I'm worried too, but I'm just smiling over there?

-PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!

Hundreds of thoughts came to mind, but Eldmia suddenly blew out a whistle and all of them were blown away. It was a whistle so loud that the attention of those who had a moment to spare in the fierce battle were focused on Eldmia. While some were looking at it, wondering if it was a new signal, and others wondering if something else had happened, ten needles came out from Eldmia's waist and started flying above his head..

It was a strange sight to those who did not know it, but the only thought that most people who saw it in a serious situation had in that brief moment was the trivial sentiment that the whetstone for sharpening the blade would turn more smoothly than what is visible to the eye..

Only the two people who knew what that meant looked at the spinning needles and Eldmia with a different sense than others..

"Oh Epagai."

Meanwhile, a small but clear murmur came from Eldmia's mouth that could only be heard by Ekatrina and Asili, who were in close proximity. Catherine was quite taken aback by the name of the demon god that came out of nowhere, but that wasn't the end..

"The coming-of-age ceremony hasn't passed yet.."

Without the two of them having time to think about what that meant, the dry muttering was used as a signal and the needles shot forward, making a booming sound..
