Episode 390 This is an opportunity. (4)

Raviere rolled forward and narrowly avoided the attack. The back of his head was slightly cut, but he was not injured.

When I looked back, I saw a woman twirling a dagger with a regretful expression.

"Oh my, did you dodge it? Young Master, you said this kid can't fight?"

Belinda clicked her tongue. Judging from her movements, she seemed to have no knowledge of combat techniques, but her reaction speed was no joke.

Raviere said with an angry expression.

"You dare to launch a surprise attack… … ."

He couldn't even finish his words, because this time someone came up to him and swung a sword.

'Oops!'

How dare you look away when you have enemies right in front of you. Raviere quickly rose into the air.

grasp!

I dodged it right away, but my clothes were slightly cut. This time, it was some arrogant guy swinging two swords.

"Ah, you're dodging this. It has double the attack power, so if you got hit, you'd be dead in one hit."

Kaor smacked his lips as if he was sorry.

When it came to the subordinates, not even the Master, Count Fenris, rushing in, Ravière felt his hair rise to the top of his head.

How ridiculous must you have been to think of yourself that those who lack the skills even rushed at you!

"These guys dare… … ."

Oh my god!

Raviere, who was glaring at Kaor, quickly raised his head as he felt a strong presence approaching.

Jiselle was swinging her sword with her red eyes shining like last time.

This is unavoidable. Raviere unleashed all his power forward.

Kwaaaaang!

"Ugh!"

Although he managed to block the blow, he was unable to completely offset the impact and was pushed back quite a bit.

Jiselle, who had landed on the ground, pointed her sword at Raviere and smiled.

"Look at this. I told you he's really bad at fighting."

Then the other two nodded.

"I think so. But isn't the reaction speed unusual?"

"Even so, if you get hit by my twin swords once, you'll die. You can tell just by looking at the mat that it's weak."

The three men surrounded Raviere, chattering away. It was obvious that they were planning a joint attack.

Raviere glared at Giselle and shouted.

"You! Are you planning to attack in a way that would embarrass the Master!"

"Why are you embarrassed by that?"

"what?"

"Isn't that stupid? Am I going to duel you? Is there a law that says a Master has to fight alone?"

"This, this guy… … ."

Jiselle continued speaking, swinging her sword.

"As the commander of the Northern Army of Rutania and a noble of the kingdom, I say this. You have joined hands with the Duke to plot treason, have deceived the people of the kingdom as a member of a cult, and have killed countless innocent people. Therefore, I hereby arrest you according to the laws of the kingdom. Your crime is not light, so kneel down immediately and receive the severe judgment of the law. Is this acceptable?"

"all...."

The knights heard Giselle's words and applauded without realizing it.

As expected, Yeongju could have said something like that. The only problem is that he doesn't even give a reason and always starts with a fist.

But Raviere did not take Giselle's words at face value. He was mocking him.

"this guy!"

This was a first for Raviere, who had always lived elegantly, sitting in a high position in the Church of Salvation.

The work being prepared in the capital has been ruined, and now even the most important ban has been discovered.

If you go back like this, you will have to pay the price for your mistake. The laws of the church are not very lenient.

It was all because of that guy.

Paaaaaaaah!

Wings made of black energy sprouted from his body again. Black energy protruded from his one remaining hand like a long fingernail.

I had no intention of using my strength clumsily like last time. I had to kill Earl Fenris even if it meant giving up my own life.

Kwaaaaang!

Raviere exploded with all his remaining holy power. His entire body was enveloped in a blazing black aura.

Everyone else was shocked and stood still by that power.

"Everyone, step back. Clear some space."

At Giselle's words, the knights retreated far away. Only Belinda and Kaor were waiting for their chance around Raviere.

Ravier's skills are considerably inferior to his strength. This is because he is a priest and not a combat specialist.

So, Jiselle didn't intend to fight with all her might either. There was no reason not to do it when she could have defeated him more easily by attacking him together.

The current Belinda and Kaor are more than capable of doing their supporting roles. It means that there is no need to overwork yourself to the point of ruining your body.

"I'll go first."

Pfft!

Jiselle burst out with mana and ran away. Raviere blasted black energy straight towards the front.

Kwaaaaang!

Raviere's attack didn't hit properly because his posture was disrupted as he tried to avoid the sword swung by Kaor who quickly jumped up.

Raviere's body shook and then moved backwards for a moment.

"Tch!"

Unlike Raviere, Kaor, who did not have the skill to move freely in the air, had no choice but to click his tongue and return to the ground.

But avoiding Kaor wasn't the end.

Belinda appeared out of nowhere and swung her dagger at Raviere's neck.

"Crunch!"

Kaang!

With such exquisite timing, Raviere had no choice but to raise his hand to block the dagger.

Although I didn't suffer much damage because the black energy surrounded my entire body, I felt my holy power disappearing in a lump.

Because it took that much strength to protect his fragile body.

Before Raviere could even attempt a counterattack, Belinda's robes fluttered.

Papapapapapak!

Dozens of daggers flew towards Raviere's body, moving like snakes.

"This bitch!"

Kwaaaaang!

Raviere blasted away all the daggers with a black aura. However, Giselle rushed in, taking advantage of that brief gap.

This is Jiselle's black aura blade. She can withstand it with her own strength, but if she gets hit, the amount of holy power consumed will be enormous.

Raviere again created a shield with his holy power and stepped back.

Kwaaaaang!

I barely managed to avoid it, but this time Kaor tried to attack again.

When I pulled away again, Belinda attacked me and before I could do anything, Giselle came in.

"Ugh… … These cowards… … ."

If you look at them one by one, they are weaker than you. But you are so busy blocking and avoiding that you don't have time to catch your breath.

Raviere has so far devoted himself solely to the study of the scriptures and the practice of doctrine. He has never regretted neglecting his combat skills as much as he does today.

Kaang! Kaang! Kaang! Kaang!

The four of them moved at such a speed that no one could interfere.

Still, Raviere occasionally managed to counterattack with his great strength and amazing reflexes.

Kwaaang!

"Ouch!"

Kaor was hit in the stomach by the black energy and fell down. Belinda also fell down due to the shock of blocking the sudden attack.

Fortunately, since Raviere was distracted by other attacks and couldn't properly apply his strength, the two were able to move again without taking fatal hits even after being hit several times.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At least Jiselle wasn't hit even once. She dodged them all and blocked them with her sword.

As a result, Raviere became a little impatient. Although he was able to block his opponent's attacks well, he felt his strength gradually draining away.

'This can't go on.'

If you keep getting dragged around by the enemies' attacks like this, you will eventually die of exhaustion.

I had to launch a more overwhelming attack. I had no intention of saving my strength anyway.

Kuoooooo!

As his life force began to burn, Raviere's hair turned white.

In an instant, Raviere, who had risen higher, glared at the three people and said.

"Die, you worthless insects."

The purple light emanating from Raviere's eyes grew even darker. Soon, thousands of black strands of energy burst out from his body as if they were being pulled out.

Countless black lights, like stars decorating the sky, took over the space in an instant.

And the light shot down towards the three people. Ravier, who knew that his skills were lacking, pushed forward with force.

Kwaaaaaaaah!

It was a force so powerful that it could burn down everything around it. No one would be able to stop it easily.

The three people braced themselves for the impact, raising their mana with hardened faces. There was no room to even dodge.

But there weren't just three people here. There was someone who had been waiting for Raviere to use that attack under Giselle's orders.

"Fire Shield."

A blazing shield appeared above the heads of the three. It was so powerful that it consumed half of Vanessa's magic power.

Kwakwakwakwakwakwang!

The black energy that collided with the shield of fire was unable to penetrate the shield and was dissipated. Thousands of energy strands continued to strike the shield without stopping, but the shield of fire, which contained powerful magical power, withstood the attacks admirably.

A shield created by a 7th circle magician who absorbed some of the Dragon Heart with half the magical power. The total amount of black energy was also similar, but it was spread over too wide an area to penetrate the shield.

Kukukukung!

Finally, the shield that had lost its magic power disappeared, but the black energy was weakened as well, so the three of them held on using mana.

"What is it!"

Raviere turned his head with an angry expression.

It was an attack that put most of his power into. Since this attack could not be used again, he had to make it a success, but he failed.

As I turned my gaze to follow the flow of magic, I saw a woman floating in the air above the knights who were fleeing in the distance.

"wizard?"

I thought there would be one more. Before Raviere could even come to his senses, Vanessa cast her spell.

"Fire Lance."

Zing! Zing! Zing! Zing!

In an instant, dozens of magic circles appeared around her, pouring out spears of fire.

Rather than using them in rapid succession like before, the magic was literally implemented simultaneously.

"What, what is this!"

Raviere, who saw the multi-window for the first time, was startled and tried to avoid it. However, Giselle reached out a beat faster than him.

Whoosh whoosh!

Spears of magical power that had never been used before were fired toward Raviere.

Spears of fire and magic flew in, filling the space. Raviere did not dare to dodge.

Kwaaaaah!

The remaining holy power poured out from his body like a waterfall, creating a black hemispherical protective shield.

Kwakwakwakwakwang!

"Ugh!"

The spears struck Lavier's shield relentlessly. The shield quickly lost its energy and eventually disappeared.

This was because Raviere had already consumed most of his power from the attack just a moment ago.

Although he managed to block it, he was already extremely exhausted.

He was not really interested in fighting, so he was not able to properly distribute his strength and tried to fight only with strength and speed.

Belinda's voice was heard from beside Ravière.

"If the ultimate attack fails, then I have to die?"

Scratch!

"Ugh!"

In the end, he ended up having his throat cut by Belinda, who suddenly attacked him. Although he did not die, black energy continued to pour out from the large wound on his neck.

Boom!

Raviere barely managed to muster up enough strength to push Belinda away, but this time Kaor cut his chest.

"Ugh!"

Raviere's black wings fluttered a few times and then began to fade.

I tried to counterattack again, but Vanessa's magic was faster than me.

Flash!

A flash of light appeared in the sky, and lightning struck Raviere's body.

Kwaaang!

"Kuaaaah!"

Despite having his throat cut, his chest slashed, and being struck by lightning, Raviere did not die.

With bloodshot eyes, he tried to somehow gather more strength and attack. His vitality was so great that it was tiresome.

"How dare you! How dare you come upon me, who has received the power of God!"

He summoned up his strength with bloodshot eyes, but the initial momentum had already disappeared.

Giselle smiled when she saw Ravière like that.

"You seem to have almost lost all your strength. Let's wrap this up now."

Kwaaang!

As soon as Jiselle activated the third stage of the core, a crimson aura enveloped his body.

The figure of Jiselle, wrapped in a crimson aura, was no different from Raviere, except that she had no wings.

No, his aura was thicker and more densely wrapped around Raviere's body than Raviere's. That's why Giselle was called a demon on the battlefield, just like Raviere.

Pfft!

Raviere's body froze as he saw Giselle shooting towards him with her red eyes shining.

I should have blocked it or avoided it, but I didn't even think about doing so. Not because I was scared, but because I was so surprised.

'That, that power!'

Raviere looked at Giselle with trembling eyes.

The energy surrounding his body was similar to his own sexual power. The magical power that suddenly exploded was similar to the mana cultivation method they were studying.

Jiselle uses these two powers together without any problem.

'Wow, that's ridiculous... ... .'

They searched the continent and studied everything that had a similar effect to the power they used.

But the power that Jiselle used wasn't like that. It was closer to the power they used.

I didn't notice it at first, but when the power exploded to that extent, it became clear.

At this moment, Raviere's mind was filled with his self as a researcher.

"Okay, wait a minute!"

He shouted, stretching out his hand in a panic, but Giselle simply ignored him.

It is a waste to fall for the enemy's tricks during battle. Once he decides to kill, Giselle's fighting style is to focus solely on that.

"It's the end."

Kwajik!

The long aura blade drawn by Giselle cut through Raviere's neck in one stroke.

Raviere, who was already defenseless and had lost all his strength, took the attack head on.

Even after his neck was cut off, his face was still filled with doubt.

"You… … how… … ."

Only a question without any proper content became the last words left by Raviere.
