Chapter 188 New reinforcements
Marie is fighting Rapunzen with a magic sword.
However, the duration of the magic Marie uses is only about five seconds at most.
Even when using combination magic, the duration remains the same.
After numerous slashes and binds, eventually, the magic sword loses its effect.
At that moment, Marie leaps backward and immediately tries to activate the magic sword again.
Using magic requires concentration.
Once accustomed, it is possible to use magic during battle, but using it while distracted is not easy.
Moreover, precise manipulation of magical power should be necessary for the magic sword.
Enveloping magical power in the form of a sword and further channeling magic into that magical power.
It’s not something easily done in the midst of intense combat.
“Will you let me do it!!!”
Naturally, Rapunzen doesn’t give Marie the time to enchant Aqua and launches a counterattack.
But that was within expectations.
I opened the lid of the water bottle attached to my waist and shook it.
As water scattered into the air, I immediately chanted a spell.
“The soaring water dragon, become a torrential downpour! Mega Aqua Bullet!”
Perhaps due to the fast pace, the quality of oral magical power was not great.
Spellcasting is not just about reciting the words; willpower and emotion are crucial elements.
Therefore, the quality of oral magical power produced by fast-paced spell chanting tends to be low.
But it’s far superior to no chanting at all.
Multiple blue magical powers gathered at my fingertips, forming a massive force that absorbed the airborne water.
Furthermore, gathering moisture from the atmosphere, countless tiny droplets of water hovered in the air, pouring down onto Rapunzen.
A myriad of rain bullets.
“Ku!? How annoying!”
Rapunzen, realizing the presence of Mega Aqua Bullet, interrupts the attack on Marie.
Dealing with my magic becomes unavoidable for Rapunzen.
Despite Rapunzen’s attempts to defend against the magical rain through evasion and a shield, it cannot be completely prevented.
The power is several levels higher than Aqua Bullet.
The fierce assault on Rapunzen continues for about ten seconds, and when the magical rain finally clears, Rapunzen’s body is covered in numerous bruises.
There are no fatal wounds, but pain has been inflicted.
Marie will undoubtedly take advantage of the opening created in Rapunzen.
“Ha!”
Having already activated the magic sword, Marie strikes at Rapunzen.
However, Rapunzen narrowly avoids Marie’s attack.
A few seconds of back-and-forth.
Rapunzen’s movements have slowed, but it seems there is still enough strength to evade Marie’s attacks.
From an outsider’s perspective, both Rapunzen and Marie boast abnormal physical abilities.
I don’t have the confidence to enter that fray.
The same goes for the knights.
As grateful as I am, if they recklessly join the fight, they will likely become a hindrance.
Perhaps due to the first knight being blown away, knights led by Dominic have lost their will to fight.
Most knights have placed their thunder swords nearby.
It’s not a sign of surrender or recklessness.
It’s probably Marie’s instruction.
“Everyone! Empty your water bottles!”
“What!? E-everyone, do as Lord Shion says!”
At Dominic’s command, the knights spilled the contents of their water bottles around them.
It wouldn’t be a problem for the soil to absorb the moisture.
Now, a state with water in the surroundings could be created.
However, no matter how much magical power is used, gathering a large amount of water into one is difficult.
With my current capabilities, it would probably be basketball-sized at best.
As the mass increases, the launch speed slows down, making it easier to dodge.
Especially considering Rapunzen’s abnormal physical abilities, it would likely be an ineffective move.
That’s why I used small droplets of water, but it lacked the power to defeat Rapunzen.
I’d like to try another spell, but if it’s not a threat to Rapunzen, she might ignore my magic and attack Marie.
It was a close call earlier.
I can’t take such a gamble.
Water attributes are undoubtedly effective against Rapunzen.
However, my magic lacks effective hits, and Marie’s magic sword has a short duration, making it difficult to land hits on Rapunzen’s fast movements.
Both Rapunzen and I still have plenty of magical power, but Marie’s magical power is limited.
At this rate, Marie’s magical power will eventually run out, and we’ll lose.
Is there any method?
A water attribute magic that is powerful, fast, has a wide attack range, and if possible, can be performed continuously.
It seems unlikely that such a thing exists.
Aqua. Enchant. Thunder Sword. Swordsmanship… Weapon destruction?
That’s it!
There is. I’ve got it!
It will be a high-stakes gamble on the spot.
In theory, it should be possible.
But what to do.
If I adopt that plan, the current strategy won’t work.
It would be difficult with just Marie and me.
However, the knights are out of the question.
Not only have they lost their will to fight, but they also lack the strength to engage in battle.
“Someone! Is there anyone who can help us!?
We can’t win on our own! Anyone, please lend us a hand!”
I shouted while keeping my focus on the battle between Marie and Rapunzen.
However, the knights were only bewildered.
No one responded, and they awkwardly averted their gazes.
Their spirits were completely broken.
Having witnessed the brutal defeat of their comrades and observing the fight between Marie and Rapunzen, it seemed there might not be anyone willing to join the battle.
I couldn’t blame them.
Because we knew it from the beginning – that magic is essential in the fight against the demons.
What should we do?
What can we do?
As Marie’s magic sword’s effect wore off, I attacked Rapunzen with combination magic.
I repeated this exchange many times.
Both small and maximum mass Aqua had no effect on Rapunzen.
The former occasionally hit directly but lacked sufficient power, while the latter never hit at all.
Thanks to Melfi, my magical power is abundant, but I don’t know how long this state will last.
Magical power might recover, but physical strength is different.
Marie is becoming quite exhausted.
She can’t replenish magical power, and her total magical power is not as much as mine.
While the consumption of magical power for the magic sword doesn’t seem too high, it can’t be used repeatedly.
Furthermore, I still have plenty of physical strength, but I can’t fulfill Marie’s role.
If Marie falls, we’re done.
We need to heal and rest Marie.
And convey the strategy to Marie.
But how?
We’re short-handed.
Just Marie, Melfi, and me won’t cut it.
Anyone.
Is there anyone out there?
“Lo-Lord Shion. I will also fight!”
“I want to join the battle too. I apologize for feeling hesitant.”
Dominic and Bruno spoke up.
Both of them approached me with thunder swords in hand.
Their faces were stern, but there was also determination.
Honestly, their strength doesn’t match up to Marie’s.
However, there’s something they can contribute.
There’s a possibility that the situation might improve.
“Thank you, both of you! Now, I’ll brief you on the strategy. If other knights could help too, that would be great. Don’t worry, there’s no danger for you.”
Despite their confusion, the other knights gathered.
I shared my thoughts with everyone.
