Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 99

The thoughts that passed through Esmueh's mind as he was thrown to the royal knight by Eldmia's hand were doubts..

How come demons are here??

Contrary to external perceptions, the imperial family of the empire is strong. There was no faction of hers that could keep her in check, and even her brother's faction, which was seemingly well-organized, was nothing more than a deliberate neglect to rally those who were dissatisfied with her..

Above all, none of his brothers and sisters want the position of emperor..

I don't know if he would want to put his children on the throne after his death, but at least not now..

"Princess! Are you okay??!"

It was a royal knight who pulled her out of the swamp of worry that almost deepened. Es Muert ordered, straightening her lost focus..

"Kill the demon and save the traitor.."

Since they thought it was solely the work of the demons, they wanted to keep him alive and interrogate him, but other than that, there was no reason to obsess over the demons. Rather, it is much more helpful to keep alive and interrogate her traitor, who tried to push her out of the way and crawl past her gate, even though his veins were cut by her Eldmia's blow..

Esmuet's order, which he concluded with such a conclusion, was carried out quickly despite the fact that he spoke softly rather than raising his voice..

And at that sight, the demon felt anger for a moment..

Of the five who were fighting him, three retreated and ran towards Esmueh. The anger was justified as it was clear to anyone who looked down on him..

He was confident that he could escape without dying, so he openly intervened..

It was astounding that a human being could show such unbelievable leisure when he saw himself like that in front of him..

"under! Believing that if you try to kill them, you can easily win....?"

But the SS members were different. They did not mix prejudice or arrogance in carrying out Esmuët's orders. Rather, I tended to prepare for the possibility of a mistake..

That was also the reason why two people remained. And as if to prove it, the moment the demon's fingernails and the sword were intertwined, the SS member's sword slipped through and cut off the demon's head..

The first thing that came into the field of view of the demon, who was so startled by the spinning scenery that he could not even speak, was his own back. And in the midst of the dull shock, the last thing he saw was the sight of the two remaining SS members running towards Esmuet..

It was after turning his head and checking the gate that Esmuët's expression, who had been looking at this as if it were natural, became distorted..

"Are you saying I missed this trick?...!"

The gate was twisting and collapsing..

There wasn't a magical attack, but the fact that it collapsed as soon as someone moved meant that it had been prepared in advance, like a trap of some kind..

Anger flashed in her eyes as she looked at the gate that was starting to collapse..

"I saved it."

I didn't want to show my face, which was so angry that my shoulders were shaking, so I answered the voice coming from behind without turning my head..

"Hand it over to the Royal Guard and call in an illusionist to interrogate him. Instruct them to get everything they can as quickly as possible, by any means necessary.."

It was clear that in that case, his mind would collapse and he would become a breathing corpse, but Esmu did not care one bit. And so did everyone else around her..

Esmuye calmly looked around at the academy faculty and guards gathered around him, briefly gathered his thoughts and gave an order..

"Captain of the Guard. Prepare your seal and personal letter. Professor Wade. The event is over. To bring and protect students. household troops. Bring the wizards and investigate the gate. Let them know that anyone who raises questions or interferes will be severely punished in her name.."

Esmuye, who was called the Iron-Blooded Princess, knew better than anyone else that action was preferred to answers, so even though they had been confused just a moment ago, they moved in order..

"Where is Margrave Levien?."

"You are coming."

Suddenly, I turned my head to follow the voice of the guard captain who was approaching and guarding my side, and I saw Ragnis running towards me..

He must have been following Eldmia ever since she moved, but he was far enough away to reach him now..

Eldmia sensed something abnormal from that far away and came running. I don't know how it happened, but Esmuer once again realized that he was trying to save himself with all his might..

"Ragnis. Did Eldmia have any magic tools today??"

That's why I planned to do my best to find him in Esmu..

Even if demons intervened, the gate itself is an imperial item. It is not at the level of suddenly flying to another country or demon territory..

Even if you have a magic tool that can specify the location, you can find it through magic..

"no. nothing."

Even though it was clear that it was urgent and despairing, Ragnis answered calmly and thought about it..

However, it wasn't easy because all I could think about right now was regretting buying something a long time ago and giving it as a gift..

At that time, something suddenly occurred to me in the area of ​​gifts..

Asilier.

"We need to find the person who made Eldmia's earrings.."

"You must meet the person who made Eldmia's earrings.."

Ragnis was relieved that Esmueh, who had come to the same conclusion, came out with words that were no different from his own..

At the same time, I was desperate. The place where Asilier is located is Ogwen, at the end of Itisel..

"But the distance..."

Esmuët, seeing Ragnis' apparent anxiety, grabbed Ragnis' arm..

And I answered with more confidence than ever before..

"I'll figure it out later."

◈

Man-made gates have limits on the distance they can travel..

What came to mind as I passed through the gate was the story Ragnis told me before coming to the Empire..

It may be a forced wishful thinking, but I think it's not just a matter of magic, but also a problem with the magic tools that make up the gate..

And due to the nature of the gate that connects two doors into one, the travel distance will not be increased even if one gate has good performance..

In other words, I don't know where I'm flying now, but I won't leave the imperial territory..

With the thought that it would be okay if it wasn't just a demon spirit, I rolled down on the ground as low as possible as my vision became brighter, and without any hesitation, I swung my sword at the person I felt..

Fortunately, the surprise attack was successful and we were able to cut the waist and thighs of the unidentified assailants we encountered in front of the gate..

"Wow!!!"

"Not the princess... ahhh!"

Gate is not an all-purpose space movement magic. It's just a tunnel. Of course, unless the demons suddenly intended to drop Esmuye from the capital somewhere in a random region and leave it alone, those at the arrival point are unconditionally enemies without any exception..

It was clear that I would be safe if I had to cut down at least one more person in sight while I had time to assess the situation, so I swung my sword wherever I could see it without any hesitation..

"Shit! What on earth happened on the other side?!"

"There is a possibility that the plan has been exposed! Hold on until the captain comes!"

"Are you a hero??!"

After clumsily cutting off the heads of the three men who had rushed at me, the first thought I had was a sense of relief..

My skills haven't improved dramatically compared to just a few days ago, and I haven't gotten much stronger just because I took a few lectures in the Empire for five days. The only thing that has improved is the weapon, and the armor has actually deteriorated..

In this situation where there are no other tools, it is clear that even if these guys were at the level of demons in an abandoned dungeon, they would have been at a level where they had to prepare for real death..

Fortunately, there aren't any that strong yet..

And when three people died in an instant and two suffered fatal wounds that made them unable to act, the others did not approach easily and began to notice..

Thanks to this, I was able to take a moment to look at them, and belatedly, I was able to figure out their most characteristic features..

"In life, you really can't predict the day ahead.."

The sight of humans and demons working together as if it were very natural..

At this level, I am confident that even if my life in this life is tied up with demons, there is something tightly connected to it..

In any case, it wasn't the time to take it easy, so I took advantage of the guys' hesitation and ran away without even looking back..

"uh?"

"Me, crazy! Run away! Surround! Surround me!"

I don't know what the hell I was thinking, but I hear a very panicked shout coming from behind..

Did they believe I would fight until I killed them all? Well, as if he had predicted it, he swung his sword as soon as he jumped out, so you might think he came in with the intention of killing everyone..

Anyway, thanks to that ridiculous misconception, I was able to escape before the siege was created, so I decided to be thankful for now..

"catch!"

A forest so dense that you can't even see the sky. Rocky mountainous terrain. stream etc..

I gather information about where I am, paying attention to the voices of those who are getting farther and farther away..

I was lucky because it was a forest. This may be because they were hiding in the empire's territory and could not have been located in an open area, but there was also a possibility that they were located in a cave or a dungeon, so this can be considered lucky..

That said, there was no way to know where this place was right away, but how far did I run with the thought that I would at least be able to find out where this place was later?.

I suddenly felt a chill on the back of my head and instinctively bent down..

At the same time, the tree right next to it was cut down without any sound..

"and? avoid this?"

I know. Avoid it. If I hadn't heard the voice, I wouldn't have even known where the attack came from. I feel like my sensual side is getting closer to that of an animal..

When I turned my gaze to express my infinite gratitude to the man who clearly looked down on me, I saw a guy with a seemingly dangerous aura looking at me..

Two thick horns. Although it wasn't wearing any armor, it was somewhat designed like a military uniform. It feels closer to the demons I met in the abandoned dungeon than the ones who attacked the academy..

But I don't know what kind of trick I did, but I can't feel any magical power..

"That's strange. Surprisingly strong? I don't know because I don't feel humans well.."

I don't know anything else, but it is clear that he is the most dangerous person ever, as he jumped out and attacked as if he had been waiting for him to run so hard right now..

Whether it's magic or physical power, it's far beyond my abilities..

"weird. I'm sure it would have completely killed him, but...what do you think??"

But as he was quietly examining me, his eyebrows quirked and his lips began to smile. The smile that breaks your mouth is literally giving me goosebumps..

Even if I get caught, I still feel like I got caught by a completely crazy person....

"Hey little Eldmia. nudge?"

Siyi haircut.
