The Branded Female Fencer

Battle in the Seeker, Part 9 – Ice Swordsman

[Seal the demon at the bottom of purgatory, and let the ice test (sign) dwell in my sword, O chains of ice]

Curse Ice Sword (Coquitos Sabre)

Louis’ sword wrapped in thin ice. It is very fine ice, not normal coarse ice, nor does it cover the sword thickly in vain. A blade of ice that reflects light and shines white. With further sword changes, Louis’ hair color changes to blue, which is also close to white.

Yes, she is also a magical swordsman, just like Alphilis. However, unlike Alphilis, Alphilis uses witchcraft in the form of chanting releases, whereas in Louis’ case it is used in a form that adds a magical effect directly to weapons and protective equipment. Of course Louis can release and use it, but I’m not very good at it. By the way, the attribute of ice indicates that it is a superior attribute of water and quite a high-ranking surgeon. That can also be seen from the fact that the hair color that should have been dyed dyed quickly (usually the change in hair color is something that magic pigments permeate and change, so it takes time. So the faster the higher the surgeon changes). Moreover, the magic sword used was not a normal thing either, but a system of dark magic.

Alphilis, Fenna, who is familiar with witchcraft, and Miranda, who is experienced, found that out, but not Lisa or Nia. But it was immediately understood that Louis was not. And that you won’t need backup or anything.

“Lexus, I’ll let the exposures go”

Copy that.

Louis continues after Lexus, who kicks gently to the ground and runs out. And you recognize your enemies, tree demons stretching out many branches to you two like spears. At that moment when they thought they were going to skewer,

“Sweet.”

As Lexus grinned invincibly, he slashed off the branches coming at himself and Louis in an instant. He doesn’t use it consciously himself, but it was a sword speed that should be called a two-dagger union. From behind, Louis chops him down. But there must still be a long way to go to the target.

“Sword flashes!

With Louis screaming, the blade of ice released from the sword cleaves the wind. Under one sword, amputate the part that was also supposed to be the house on the left hand side of the demon.

Demons also make a stuffy rampage at the shock.

“That’s awesome…”

Miranda shrugged unexpectedly.

“I see… sure, that’s what we’re all about.”

“But don’t you play it?

“I don’t think so.”

To Nia and Lisa’s doubts, everyone was surprised because Alphilis said it so clearly.

“How can you say that, Alfie? If you’re a wooden demon, isn’t fire magic more damaging?

To Miranda’s best question, Alphilis shook his head, though.

“No. That sword freezes the slashed surface, so it won’t stick until it’s thawed. Because fire carburizes and collapses, it is easy to regenerate itself from within. Either way, ice is definitely harder to regenerate. Besides, it’s a system of dark magic, and it’s superfluous. Indeed, when stuck, fire is the accelerating motion of the molecule, while water and ice are the stopping motion of the molecule. So they tend to think that fire systems with no upper temperatures are stronger than ice systems with absolute zero degrees present, but since the magnitude of power depends on how quickly they interfere with molecular motion, it doesn’t generally mean which is stronger.”

I couldn’t keep everyone’s head on the theory that Alphilis talks to Pepper. Except for the humans who have learned magic professionally in the Sorcery Church, such as the crap of molecular movements in particular, you will have no idea. This is a theory because Aldrius taught it, but he doesn’t know that the public doesn’t know that about Alphilis.

“… it’s refreshing to Lisa what the big woman is talking about”

“Don’t worry, I don’t know either”

“I managed to…”

Everyone speaks their thoughts. And at the end, Miranda.

“Alfie, are you unexpectedly knowledgeable?

“What a surprise!

It was a bit of an alphilis to the word, but I recalled my master’s hellish classes, and I shook up unexpectedly. But I won’t teach you anything in vain. I’m still grateful to her. For those who deal in sorcery, knowledge is synonymous with treasure.

But in the meantime, there were already many of them. Louis and Lexus were two different strengths. Already every part of the demon has been frozen and slashed, nearly half its original size. And now it was precisely where Louis stepped on the head of the demon and struck a stubborn blow.

The demon also fights back with leaves flying like blades from all directions as his last resistance, but all slashed off with a cool face on Lexus who refrains behind Louis. You knew what Lexus was doing, Louis doesn’t even try to look around. Usually, these two trust each other in their combat skills.

“… I’ll freeze you to the point of a shard of leaves”

Louis pierces the Great Sword into the demon’s head with a low voice that makes him sober, and the trees freeze around it. Demons stretch out branches and try to grow, but obviously freeze faster. And with the freezing sound of pakipaki, the whole demon finally froze. It is the completion of a huge tree ice.

Admitting the lack of demonic resistance, Louis waves his sword and tucks it in his sheath, and Louis and Lexus turn back. And I walk over to Fenna.

“I’ll give it to you, Elf.”

“… Huh?

“Make up your mind. If you don’t like it, I’ll do it, but what?

Louis looks straight at Fenna. Fenna also stayed somewhat between,

“… okay. Thank you for your consideration.”

And slowly Fenna set up a bow and arrow, releasing the arrow. The frozen tree demon, which had already turned into tree ice in that blow, collapses. It became a fine particle of ice and collapsed. It was uncut, delicate, and beautiful.

“Goodbye, Father, Mother…”

As it is, Fenna is facing down. Alphilis and the others can’t even find the words to call. Now Fenna will have lost everything in her hometown. Apparently, the dead were buried as a minimum courtesy by the soldiers of Krums, even in their form alone, but the ground was dug back with demonic roots, without even their graves or traces. And the house where Fenna grew up, all turned into demons. The place that was now in the Seeker can only be seen as just a big huddle. There were no shadows to see, such as the sight of the Alphilis when they first stepped in.

And Alphilis gently steps over to speak to Fenna about something.

“Fenna…”

“… on a tree, it was marked.”

“Huh?”

Fenna whines as she nags.

“In me, there are a lot of rare young seekers in the elves. They were all alike around the age. So I was comparing, competing, talking… comparing my back a lot. I’m a short one for an elf, and everyone used to tell me I was a chick. I couldn’t help it because my age was also at the bottom. But that’s what I regret about being young, and whenever the moon toured the sky one was tall and marked with stone on a tree…”

“Yes… what?”

“Where else did you fly the arrow for the first time, after you hit it and broke the door, or make a blanco out of a twig on a tree branch… there were so many memories in here. But, but nothing more… it’s gone.”

“But it’s crazy. I’m supposed to be sad, but I can’t cry… do you know why, Alphilis?

Fenna twirls and turns toward Alphilis. He has a very sad look, but at the same time a face that says he doesn’t understand his emotions in the bottom of his heart.

“… maybe that’s because my mind hasn’t kept up with what’s going on.”

“My heart?

“Yeah, my master said there are times when humans can’t cry on their own, when they don’t even realize they’re sad. That’s why creatures make friends. The master said it failed him. He said he couldn’t cry when he should, because he didn’t have the presence to call himself a friend. Soon, he said he even forgot how to cry. When I was a kid too, I think I was. But I had a master. So Fenna… you can cry whenever you want in front of us, even if it’s not now. I don’t know, I can’t say it well, but…”

At that time, a glimmer of tears fell from Fenna’s silver eyes.

“Yes, what… thank you, Alfilly, su… gu… hiku…”

Fenna covered her face with her hands and began to cry. Alphilis gently hugs that fenna.

“Me, for a while… can I cry…?

“… I think so.”

“… sorry”

“So you’re not sorry, are you?

“Yeah… thanks…”

For a while, Alphilis and Fenna held each other together as they were.

He smiles faintly when he sees those two, and Louis and Lexus try to follow the scene. Miranda spoke when she saw two people trying to leave silently on the spot.

“You’ve given it back quite a bit.”

“Not really. It was a demon that went well with the eagles fighting. That’s all.”

“Looks like we borrowed it. I don’t feel so good.”

“Really? Then someday when we meet again, you can buy me a drink.”

“I hope we’re not enemies when we meet.”

Louis says nothing to Miranda’s words and answers with a flickering wave of his hand as he backs off. Lexus left with a light hand imitation of every salute.

A little distance away from the Alphilis and the others, Lexus speaks to Louis.

“That’s sweet of you, Mr. Tsubaki! Even so, it’s unusual for Mr. Tsuge to care about someone. I feel like I’ve never seen it before.”

“… maybe. But not that elf, wondering and wondering about a kid named Alphilis. I wonder why.”

“Will I see you again?

Lexus rarely utters a word of anticipation. Looks like Louis wasn’t the only one who liked the Alphilis.

“Probably. Right, that kid gets stronger. If that happens, we’ll meet even if we want. Enemy or ally.”

“Let’s not die before then. For the moment, the demon king seems to be the target.”

“Naturally.”

Louis laughed with his nose. I guess I can’t imagine myself defeated by this swordsman. Seeing her as usual like that, Lexus also returns to her original light personality.

“So, can I jump into your chest to reward you for what you just did??

“… before you fight the Demon King, you’re going to die here now.”

Louis pulls out his sword.

“No, no, he said it was a joke! Why are you using a magic sword?!? Hey, it’s dangerous!

Lexus escapes screaming. Apparently these two aren’t even going to die for the time being.

And this one is above. The three people who were in the air are the ones who are not amused by this result.

“You’re acting like a three-sentence play.”

“Right. Hard to say a good spectacle.”

“Damn it! What, that woman of unruly strength! Such a magic sword ant!?

A rough voice clings to the junction.

“I knew it would be a bad idea for you to perform.”

“Shut up!

Ironic and treading the estate in the air is a seemingly active boy who is not even trying to hide himself now. He suddenly returns calmly when he steps on a squatter of waste.

“But surely… that woman is strong. Or is that all those mercenaries are?

“Speaking of which, you two never saw it in person. That mercenary regiment is like that. And that mercenary regiment’s troop numbers will show strength as they are.”

“That means Squad 1 is stronger?

A seemingly active boy raises his voice in amazement.

“It’s just as a squad, though. In an individual’s combat abilities, that woman could be as strong as the captain.”

“Shit… if my master only gave me permission to get my hands on them, I’d make them ground beef (mince) in one minute!

“Unfortunately, this is not the time. Patience.”

“I know!!

Along with the vomit-dropping words, the boy’s shape is awesome. It’s a momentum that could kill a curse just with your eyes.

“So, how strong is that captain?

“Definitely one of the strongest on the continent. We’ve been contacted from the west side, but apparently we can’t wait for the crew to arrive, and the captain has already hunted two demon kings by himself”

“Whoa. Such a monster, what are we going to do about it?

I look at the youth like an old man was frightened.

“My master is going to wake me up. I was wondering if it would be compatible.”

“Is that it? Sure, it might be, but can you control it?

“It depends on how you do it. If you make a mistake, you can fang this way.”

“But isn’t there someone who can beat me or something?… stupid, though.”

“Is that where the whimpering bucket thing and the stupid thing confront each other?

“What are you trying to say? So, it’s time to pull it up? Which one of you…?

An active boy noticed something crawling downstairs, three making sure there was no one else to move, fluttering down to the ground.

Crawling like a potato bug on the ground was Prince Muster. His legs weren’t knee-to-bottom, but he still can’t throw away his obsession with raw, making sure he crawls on the ground with his hands and moves on. But it won’t be long from that amount of bleeding either. His consciousness had already begun to cloud.

Standing in front of him like that, the active boy speaks out like a shudder.

“What, Prince Sama, are you alive?? Bad luck is the only thing in the world.”

“Wow, the eagle can’t die… the eagle is right, the eagle is right. At the end of the day, the eagle wins…”

“… it’s a gift to be so stupid.”

“Yeah, I thought it was too ugly and vice versa beautiful”

“Why are we all the same… why are we doing the same thing as my brother and only despise me… why, why…”

In fact, this prince lacked something important. He has no idea the difference, but what he broke the branches around was the tree in the venue where he was going to welcome ambassadors from other countries to dine. Moreover, it was not one broken bottle, and the landscape was completely damaged by the fact that many branches were broken. It goes without saying that the King and the Krums side were greatly disgraced by guiding the ambassadors to that venue.

He also intends to punish the servant with his brother, but the circumstances are completely different. My brother only hit 20 munchies in the back against a servant who worked stealing. Originally, the prince himself spared the trial by striking the neck in the light of the law. This could have been called a warm act.

but this third prince is different. He simply munched through the face of a maid who spilled a drink in a coarse phase. As a result, this maid’s right eye is losing light. This kind of setup is nothing but brutal, but this prince doesn’t know the difference. He lacked something important as a man before he could be smart. That’s because the vast majority of humans are over-prepared as a matter of course, so they don’t realize it’s falling out the other way.

Had such a person been a civilian, he would have had the opportunity to be tried for a crime or something at an early stage, but unfortunately he was royal. I lived this far unnoticed by its absence, and without being brought to justice. This is a tragedy not only for the surroundings, but also for the person. Maybe it’s a distortion or something. I should add that his responsibilities do not disappear.

And three overlooking mustards about to lose consciousness.

“What do we do?

“Right… did your brothers and sisters burn this prince in anticipation of this far? If so, don’t be a little respectful.”

“My brothers and sisters are more thoughtful than we think. Perhaps less powerful than us.”

The youth uttered their words emotionally. The active boy talks with a mustard in his foot, even though he says he’s not interested.

“So, what do we do? This prince, you use it? I think I’ll be a good demon king material, demon king producer (satan maker)??

The active boy turned around like an old man while saying so. The boy answers instantly.

“Yeah, of course I’ll bring it back. With a mouth seal.”

“You wouldn’t expect the heads of state to see demon kings being produced at the hands of people everywhere.”

A young man smiles with pleasure. But the old man denies it with pleasure. I still think his fun is coming. But I told him so.

“No, no, no, that’s not where the final goal is.”

“By the way, how many savings do you have right now?

An active boy asked the old man. The old man answers very well, just waiting for the word.

“I can get 100 units up and running instantly at the moment, but they’re still in the research stage. Once the achievements of the demon kings on the western side are achieved, the direction of production can be set more specifically. Until then, I need you to experiment.”

“Heck.”

“If we can get our hands on it directly, it’s a sea of fire on a continent like this in no time…”

Dull, the young man laughs. The laughter seemed like a real pleasure, so the other two would be in for another moment. And no matter what they look like, he also firmly recognizes that they are alike again.

“Hehe, surprisingly, you’re also belligerent… but maybe the time will come sooner than I thought?

“Stay tuned”

“I want to go wild soon – look forward!

That’s how the three laughed invincibly and disappeared with Prince Muster. And a few days later, there would be a firehand of war up in the Middle Plains, but no one had yet realised that it was just the beginning of the great war that was about to begin.
