Neta Chara Tensei Toka Anmari da! - CH 27

After breaking through the enemy’s line, Nacht passed the Keparnia grassland.

Her dragon eyes looked toward the forest.

The passive skill dragon eyes which she got in a fourth job change, was also called Deciding Eyes, it was a treasured skill that increase the area attack of skills during the game. Of course, it also has the power of see-through, detecting danger, increasing dodge rate, and some others but the most beneficial for Nacht most of the time was the magic area increase. Although she would feel weird now if she thought about it, how could area attack increase just because the eyes are getting better? But since it was like that since the game era, she just readily accept it. In the description, it would allow the user to attack anything in sight. But the term ‘in sight’ itself was kind of vague. And in reality, during the game, there is a proper area of effect indicator that shows the range of the attack. It seems the game company still adheres to fairness to keep the game balance.

The reason how Nacht could control her enormous magic precisely was also because of this skill. That included when she use a lightning dragon to destroy the noble’s mansion.

Right now Nacht completely uses its power. All the trees around become see-through and she could see what she wanted to see. She could see everywhere on the horizon clearly. This must be because of the effect of an increase in eyesight and see-through.

“Well, how carefree.”

Nacht muttered.

At the same time, an enormous magic power could be felt behind her. Among them, Nacht felt a familiar magic power.

“It seems they have started.”

Aisha, by her own will, chooses to stand on a different battlefield.

Of course, Nacht fervently opposed it, but Aisha won’t yield, and in the end, Nacht relented. After giving her a lot of items like it won’t ever be enough and making sure she stay with Crysta’s party, she agreed to let her.

Even if they were far apart, she could still feel the wave of mana released by her servant.

And she smiled because of it.

Aisha has grown faster than Nacht anticipated.

“Well, should we start here too–”

Nacht decided to create the battlefield first.

Wind Magic–Tempest!

The wind blew and created a storm–which was even greater than a normal storm.

The trees that cling to the earth were unearthed and flew together with lumps of soil.

A scene like a landslide or an avalanche in front of Nacht. Of course, unlike landslides, the land did not crumble down but flew to the side.

Coupled with the overwhelming pressure of air which made invisible blades.

Normal people would be blown and sherd into pieces by the wind.

It was just meant to be testing the water, but Nacht magic changed the landscape of the area in a radius of 4-5 kilometers.

The land which was filled with greenery until a while ago turned into a wasteland.

The cloud of dust that was left in the area appeared like a sandstorm.

But in the next second, a silver line appeared.

And the rising cloud of dust suddenly cleared.

What appeared was a single girl who was completely unhurt.

Nacht’s expression filled with surprise.

But of course not because she survived her magic unscathed.

In the girl’s hand was a long sword.

It was a one-handed long sword that looks like made of tempering crystals. The blade was clear to transparent blue, and the handle was decorated by a thorny wild rose pattern. In her left hand was a silver shield that wore like a gauntlet. Bellow the mirror-like surface of the shield, there was also a crest of a rose surrounded by thorns.

Nacht knew that crest.

Looking at the surprised Nacht, the girl opened her mount.

“What a rude person–don’t you know how to treat a lady?”

“Hmm, I see no lady in front of me, only a tiny brat. Or did I overlook it?”

“Is that so? So your beautiful eyes are simply decoration I presume.”

“Unfortunately my eyes only ever reflected the truth–”

And Nacht’s gaze fell bellow slightly.

“–If you feel dissatisfied, please say that again after your chest grows at least twice bigger.”

“Gh!”

Although just a moment, the girl faltered.

Nacht was not someone who would overlook it.

“Bullseye, huh. My Aisha event has it more than you. Although small chest is great as status, no chest is a different matter entirely.”

The girl’s face turned beet red.

It has surely resulted from anger. The hand holding the sword trembled as if she was ready to attack Nacht at any moment.

“Damn, you! Don’t say anything as you pleased! I am still seventy-two! I’m still a child! Unlike you, I still have room for growth! Ah, but if I included the time I was asleep–No, no, no. I will grow from now on!”

Looking at her broken speech, Nacht was not surprised but convinced.

That sharp eyes, although her anger was mixed with killing intent, was still similar to Aisha–the eyes of a child. Or rather she said she was a child herself.

“Well, although you are just a child, I still mind my manners so I would introduce myself. I am Nacht. Nacht Schatten. You may call me Nacht-chan in reverence.”

“Don’t say a child! Alright, listen you fool that has sided with humans! The great me name is Linoa Lutina Grimoire. The eldest daughter of Grimoire dukedom and the blood relative of the Demon King, in other words, the true demon race! I am super important, feel free to prostrate before me!”

Hearing that sonorous declaration, Nacht gave her a pitying gaze from the bottom of her heart.

“Yup yup, it’s amazing that you could do the introduction!”

“Don’t treat me like a child!”

“You seem to not know how to treat your elder, but since you are just a child I will let it slide. Let’s get to the main topic, shall we? Linoa, stop your playing military and left this place.”

Nacht decided for her without asking for her confirmation.

Linoa eyes turned sharp again and glare toward Nacht.

“What are you saying? You should stop blabbering–”

nonsense is what she wanted to say, but Nacht cut her short.

“You don’t understand? Then let’s say it more clearly. If you retreated obediently, I will treat it as a childish tantrum and overlook you.”

Hearing that declaration, Linoa was filled with fury.

“Shut up! I would not! If that trash decided to surrender then I might spare their life. Because I am compassionate, unlike them. Just surrender obediently–”

Looking at Linoa eyes that were taken over by hatred, Nacht shook her head.

“Why did you hate humans? Why are you attacking the city? And why are your eyes filled with sadness?”

Linoa gasped.

That small astonishment blows away her raging anger.

“Why? You dare say that!? The one who refused peace, declared us as sword enemy, and declare holy war against us, was human! How dare you say something like that after what has human done!”

“I see. It seems there were a lot of misunderstandings and circumstances. But let me warn you again, stand back.”

Nacht did not think the girl in front of her was evil.

Unlike what has been told in the stories and legend. And certainly won’t eat any bad kid like the tale Aisha told.

That is why she said that to Linoa.

“I refuse! And I warned you. Surrender peacefully. Not only do you get to keep your life, but I will also let you serve me. The magic just now was pretty good.”

Her strong will was built on hatred.

Nacht sighed.

It seemed just talking won’t be enough to change her mind.

“I have a lot to ask, including the fact that you are a relative of the demon king and those Thorn of Crystal Tree series–but first, let’s discipline you a bit so you would listen to my words attentively.”

Nacht released her pressure.

“Hmm, so you are interested in my equipment?”

“Yup, let me ask later.”

“You won’t back down huh–”

The girl readied her sword once again.

The silver shield reflected the sunlight, the young girl lower her posture and was ready to charge. She opened her mouth a little–

And the next moment.

From God know where a shadow appeared.

Even with Nacht’s preception, she did not notice until they appeared.

In the milliseconds of thought, her head filled with doubt and surprise.

When she noticed a blade has targeted her neck from behind.

A pink hair-like illusion with unclear substance. Mercilessly thrust a sharp blade toward her.

–what a pity.

Linoa murmured.
