"Smack!"

Natsu's two sleeves burst open in unison, revealing the snow-white arms inside. &{}. {23} {wx}. {}

"I'm so tired......"

She staggered her sword to the ground, her body slowly sliding down.

Since her strength has increased significantly, she has never used the Nameless Sword Technique to be drained of her body and mental power at the same time, and she is even able to fight in a short period of time.

But today was different, even after using a large number of spiritual power pills, she still felt that her head was chaotic, and she could barely think.

"Quinya is on top...... Is this divine punishment? ”

The bard sat on the ground beside him, staring blankly at the top of his head.

The thick layer above was torn open by the white light, and from inside the starlight could be seen in the night.

"Master!"

The little Lori in black flew over and held up Xia.

"Use ...... The Light of Transfer. ”

Natsu said in a low voice.

Then barely looked up at the night sky:

"That guy...... Not dead yet. ”

……

"―――――― whoa!!"

A comet-like white light was in front of him, and Klein was surrounded by a light blue cocoon of light, resisting the irresistible impact in front of him.

"Crackle."

A crack appeared on the top of the light cocoon.

Then the crack began to grow thicker and denser, and it was about to collapse, and the cross on Klein's chest suddenly sounded.

A golden ball of light emerged from his chest and gradually expanded throughout his body.

"Woooooooo

With the power of the cross, Klein exerted all his strength to escape from the front of the white light, and the golden ball of light disappeared at once, and he fell down in midair.

Below, on a farm outside Canning City, a dog is sleeping on its stomach. Suddenly, his ears moved, and he opened his eyes and looked around.

"Boom!"

What looked like a meteorite smashed into the field in the distance from a high altitude, and a large area of crops was blown away, and a huge crater appeared in the middle.

“！！”

The dog sensed the danger and ran backwards with his tail between his legs.

It didn't take long for Klein to slowly get up from the pit.

The left side of his face was covered in blood. One eye was tightly closed, and half of the clothes on his body were gone, revealing his bloody shoulders and arms.

"Thank you."

He gently kissed the bright cross on his chest.

The power of that white light was so great that St. Anton's Cross could only support a moment's defense, but it was this short moment that saved his life.

"The Holy Whip is no longer available."

He looked at the light blue veins in the palm of his hand, the light above it was much dimmer at this time, and the resistance just now had almost exhausted the energy of this holy weapon.

"Huh? It seems that someone is coming. ”

His face slowly turned to the north:

"I felt a sharp thought...... Now that I'm not lightly injured, it's better to avoid it for a while. ”

Klein moved his wounded body and walked towards the farmhouse next to him.

Crazy dog barking could be heard in the distance. A few screams rang out from the farmhouse, and silence reigned.

……

"That's not dead yet? No kidding. ”

The bard got up from the ground and said with a bitter expression.

"Not dead."

Xia replied categorically.

Then she straightened up, the wound on her leg disappeared in an instant, and with her backhand the sword back into her back, she turned to the bard and said:

"Now is not the time for small talk, let's get out of here!"

Before the other party could reply, wings appeared on either side of her body. Grabbing him by the collar, he burst through the crack above.

"Stephanie, maximum warning range!"

After coming to the air. Natsu said in his mind.

"Master, there's a strong person in the northwest approaching here!"

The little Lori in black reacted quickly.

"Let's go!"

Xia flapped his wings, turned around and flew away to the southeast.

"Let's ...... Let's discuss, can you change the ...... Posture. ”

The bard, who was grabbed by her collar, blushed and spoke with difficulty in the air.

"You seem to be pretty good at stealth?"

Natsu flew with him all the way before falling from the sky. Put him on the top of a tree.

However, halfway through, he changed his collar to his belt, which relieved the other party slightly.

"Ahem...... Although my strength is not as good as yours, when it comes to hidden techniques, I say second, and no one dares to say first...... Why is this branch dangling? ”

The bard holds a branch. looked down in horror, and didn't forget to brag about himself.

"Who the hell are you? Why do you recognize me. ”

Xia made a gesture of continued vigilance to the black-clothed little Lori, and asked him with a frown.

"No, no, I don't recognize you, I just recognize the gray-haired little Ke ** next to you."

The bard slowly climbed from the branch to the trunk and slipped down from above.

After coming to the ground, he looked at Xia and replied:

"Our boss described to me the appearance of that little ***...... Damn it! I almost forgot about it. ”

His voice suddenly became urgent:

"I'll talk about this later, your leg was wounded by Klein's holy whip, and there are already holy marks on it, no matter where you hide, he can find you! Quick, now hurry up and fly in the direction of the royal capital, even the Order will not act rashly there, and you will be safe when you arrive, and the boss is also there......"

"The hosts! The very strong man chased after him, but not very quickly, as if searching nearby! ”

The little Lori in black shouted in her mind.

"Don't worry about stigmata."

Natsu interrupted the bard's words:

"I have my own way of avoiding it...... But what do you do now? You've been injured just now, are you sure you can avoid him? ”

"Don't worry, you see."

The bard pulled back his coat, revealing a dark inner armor from within:

"Although Klein's attack is powerful, it is mainly based on whipping, and it can't break this treasure with just one or two hits."

He covered his shirt:

"As for hiding, it's my specialty, not to mention the mainland powerhouse. Even if God comes, he can't find me......"

"Master, that person seems to be rushing around, probably coming for us!"

The little Lori in black hugged Xia's arm:

"Let's go! Master. ”

"Then be careful yourself."

Natsu leaped into the air from the tree, spread his wings and whispered below:

"I'm leaving Dalton soon, and I'll go to the royal capital to have a look at it when I have the chance, and I'll see you then."

"-Spiral Dash!"

Her body suddenly swirled in the air and rushed forward. The speed was a little faster than when I was flying.

"Instant Slash!"

Then she drew her sword and slashed her body, slashing her body for a long distance.

"Master, this technique you invented to speed up with skills is amazing."

Although the black-clothed little Lori was not slow, she still couldn't keep up with this explosive acceleration and was soon left behind.

I didn't invent it, it's been a game for a long time.

Xia muttered in his heart, constantly alternating his displacement skills, rapidly moving over the wilderness on the outskirts of Canning City, and it didn't take long for him to fall out of the bard's sight.

"It doesn't seem to be the same as what I've heard...... Her strength is so strong now? ”

The bard stared blankly in the direction she had left. Thinking back to the power of that sword, I only felt cold sweat in my palms:

"No, I must tell the boss about this when I go back!"

Natsu and the black-clothed little Lori didn't delay, and the two flew in the air for a long time, until they reached the edge of the forest before they landed on the ground and ran on the ground instead.

"Don't go to the nearby cities and villages for the time being, just hide in the forest for a while during this time."

She dodged the sticking branches and stumbling bushes, and made her way through the dense trees as fast as she could.

The occasional beast and snake simply didn't have time to react. She only felt a gust of wind blowing past her, and by the time she smelled the breath of a human being, she had already run away.

"Put these away."

After running for hours. Xia ran on a thick branch, took out a few bills from his close position, and handed them to the little Lori in black.

"Wow, master, that's a lot of money!"

The little Lori in black said with glowing eyes.

"This was taken from the baron, and there has never been a chance for you. With this money, we are one step closer to our goal. ”

Xia touched her hair and said slightly.

The continuous use of skills and long-distance running took a great toll on her body.

"Hmm!"

The black-clothed little Lori happily rolled the golden ticket and the magic crystal reserve into her skirt.

Looking at her appearance, Xia suddenly had the feeling that there was an extra housekeeper by her side.

In fact, she felt this way a long time ago. But none of them were as strong as they are today.

――Is this the so-called Lori wife?

"What's the matter, master?"

The little Lori in black asked strangely when she saw her eyes.

“…… It's nothing. ”

Xia retracted his gaze:

I'm not Loricon!

"Good clothes, the sleeves are gone."

She looked down at the swordsman's suit and took it off, and then the torn stockings on her legs.

"Master, there are not many clothes left, and there are not a few pairs of spare stockings left, so you have to save some to wear."

Little Lori in black handed her the spare clothes.

"Hmph, now we have spare money, stay in the forest for half a month to a month, we will go to Zekeria, and make some good purchases in the city, and the old witch will have a commission fee confiscated."

"Zekelia? What are we going to do there, master. ”

Stephanie asked, surprised.

"Viscount Eton must know the origin of that dagger, when the time comes, we will lurk in the city for a while, you go to the Viscount's Mansion to find out the relevant information, maybe you can find any clues."

Xia stroked his two smooth legs for a long time, and found that there were no so-called holy marks left on them, so he put on a pair of pants outside with peace of mind.

The Light of Transition can fully restore its state, including the removal of negative influences, and although the grade of the Holy Whip is not low, it is clearly not to the point of ignoring the system.

There are a lot of mosquitoes in the forest, although her strength has now reached the fourth turn, but there has never been the phenomenon of "mosquitoes and flies do not fall" described in the novel, it is still very troubled to be bitten by something poisonous, and her body is not toxin-resistant.

"By the way, how did this imposter bard know you?"

At this time, Xia suddenly thought of something:

"I don't think there are many people who have seen you, but is there anyone else who has seen you besides Wendy and Deria?"

The little Lori in black thought for a moment:

"There should be, master, and more than one person. Have you forgotten that you were fighting Jersey ......"

"So what's that...... Yes, indeed. ”

Xia recalled the scene at that time and suddenly arrived.

When they came out of the magician's quarters, the students who had been infected with the narcant were hovering in the air, and the passage was transparent, and from the inside they could see the scene below.

"At that time, I showed up in front of Jersey to snatch the remote control, except for the people who were particularly close to the stone plate, many people should have seen me, maybe the fake Agetra knew those students."

The little Lori in black said with some uncertainty.

"That's ......"

Xia sat on the branch, remembering who were on it:

"I remember that Lorry was in there, and Al, the little princess Evelyn, and ** Garnice was also ......"

She thought about it for a long time and found that these people seemed to be the "bosses" in the mouth of the fake Agetra.

Stephanie took out the soul ball that shone with black light from her skirt and lay it on Natsu's shoulder:

"Master, I just probed, there are no powerful monsters around here, do you want to find a safe place to use this thing?" (To be continued......) R640
