Neta Chara Tensei Toka Anmari da! - CH 30

Let’s rewind the time a bit.

Unlike Nacht who enter straight away through the sky, the knights and adventurers use horses and took days to march while securing the supply line. Other than the sound of the hoves, the sound of their metal armors clinking also filled the air. The more crowded the more boisterous it be.

The vanguard amounted to around seven hundred. Behind them was a group of robed magicians. Although it was not clear would they take the left or the right wing, behind the infantry were two hundred cavalry and one hundred magic knights with their spears, ready to charge anytime.

The group of knights was familiar with acting in a group and maintaining their formation.

On another side, the adventurers did not join the knights.

Their main tactic was hit and run. The only cooperation they were familiar with was with a small group of parties, so Nigurd thought it would be more effective to let them deal with monsters with their individual party. Of course, there were some who stood in the vanguard, but most of the adventurers were still placed in the search and destroy group.

The comander of that mixed groupd was Nigurd. His experience was in no way a little. Because he always took the rein during the emergency.

But the person himself actually wanted to stand in the front line.

The giant battle-ax Nigurd brought was shining as it was reflecting the light.

The glint in his eyes was not that of a kind grandpa, but like a beast who found its prey.

“Hoooo, my blood boil. I envy the young.”

“Hahaha, please refrain from charging head-on though, supreme commander. Please stay alert at the back.”

The one who responded was the head of magic knight Grandia.

He has small eyes and a black beard on his chin. And his appearance was an example of a military man. In this battle, he took the position of vice leader of the mixed army.

“However, in the case, your power was needed, please rest assured and left the command to me–”

Nigurd nodded at his word.

“By the way–how was the rat?”

“Still unclear–probably would take advantage of the war–of course we made countermeasure, but the battle has its own flow. There might be unexpected circumstances.”

“Hmm, I will tell Crysta–but is it alright with you? To tell me your master will.”

“Hahahahaha, that was my bad–but Nigurd-dono seems like have the wrong view about the knights. We knights follow our master. Eleonora might be the one who hired us, but she was not by any means our master.”

Grandia said as if he spat his own personal grudge toward Eleonora.

However, that was most likely due to the incident recently, which made Eleonara’s reputation goes to the gutter. Among the people, it was rumored that the dragon’s judgment has befall Eleonora, and it also made a lot of her retainers afraid.

For Grandia, it was nothing more you reap what you sow, and he was glad nothing major has been lost. However, Eleonora ordered her own magic knight to kill Aisha during the chaos of battle.

Eleonora has excellent ability in terms of politics and business. And have the ability to rule as noble. However once her eyes clouded with desire, she become nothing more than a fool who was charmed by treasure.

“I see–thank you for the information.”

“No no, even without my warning, you should have been on guard against her. And that monster–my apologies, Miss Nacht should also have realized. Although I don’t care about my stupid subordinates, I don’t want to incite her rage–”

“”

Although Eleonora was convinced that the ancient demon was just an excuse to make use of her army, Grandia who directly received information about the situation from Nigurd, knows exactly that it was not the case. And the one who will fight against that legendary existence was Nacht. So in his opinion, it would be best to avoid conflict with Nacht.

He already warned some of his trusted subordinates, that if they dared to act up, he would gladly cut his ties with them.

“Alright–It’s about time–”

On top of the horse, Nigurd looked toward the most forward position.

There were two girls who stood side by side.

“Are you ready, Aisha?”

Crysta who wore light armor with some exposure in the shoulder, joint, and thigh stood beside Aisha and asked her.

“I-I am ready…!”

Because she was nervous her words become stiff.

It was her first battle after all.

In her hand was the staff of Yggdrasil Nacht gave her. Grasping the wood staff which shone with mysterious luster tightly calmed her nerve a little.

This was not her place to flatter.

Aisha was Nacht’s servant.

A servant who serves someone high above the sky.

“Suuu–haaaa—”

She breathed deeply, absorbed the air of the battlefield, and released it together with her nervousness.

Opened her eyes, Aisha opened her mouth once again.

“Let’s go–!”

She said it with determination.

Aisha was inferior as a child. She took time to remember words, and years to remember characters.

There was no way she could remember the magic in an instant.

She has been training after looking at Nacht’s amazing magic, but what she could do was basically only move the mana inside her body. She stood at the entrance but she has not enough ability to open the door.

Of course, she was training even now, but even with the support of the job dragon shrine maiden, her body which hasn’t completely grown up still would not allow her to activate the magic.

But to be able to circulate her mana was a great step. Because although she could not convert that mana into energy that change the phenomenon, she could move it to her hand or pour it somewhere else.

“Oh Great Water Spirit–heed my word, and lend me your power–”

Spirits who were attracted by Aisha’s mana were gathering one by one. They were giggling and took the appearance of small people that would fit the palm of their hand.

And from them, numerous giant water balls were created. It was a power that shake the friend and foes.

And then among them, there was one, who was more elegant and bigger than the others. With her as the center, hundreds of water lumps appeared covering the sky.

Aisha was in a sense, a power source. And the power was poured toward the spirit who was basically a ‘machine’ that change it into spirit magic.

Crysta was a bit surprised with the result, but she quickly started to chant her own magic too.

<<Ice and snow would soon rule over the world. Under the rule of nature’s power, all lives are equal. Thus with my will, that end should appear right here right now–!”

–Ice and Snow Magic–Freezing World.

It was magic that entitled Crysta as ‘Ice Empress’.

It was destructive magic that trap the prey within a radius of a few hundred meters. Once they were trapped in the area, that would be their end, what was left was ice sculptures with their shape.

But this time, the purpose was different.

Crysta’s target was the giant water balls that Aisha’s created and thus made them giant ice chunks.

They glittered due to the light reflected on them, making them look like stars in the sky and making them look even more divine.

The water lumps that were numbered more than hundreds become ice chunks, and as if shooting stars, they were flying down toward the earth like a meteorite.

“”–Composite Magic–Icicle Rain!!””

The overwhelming mass of the ice chunks fell toward the group of monsters.

That disastrous scene was just the start of another battle.
