Chapter 41: Waltz of the Princess and the Witch

Saya Hua, who hides her tall body under a narrow passage, is suppressing her heartbeat that is beating wildly.

After hiding his aura and confirming that the other party did not chase after him, Saya Hua finally let go of the big stone in his heart.

"Hah, that's dangerous."

Sha Yahua's hand holding the long sword was covered with sweat, and from this point of view, he knew what kind of situation Sha Yahua was forced into.

Ignoring all the covers, the wonderful silver locks that attack from the gaps in space are probably famous artifacts or magic tools. The encounter between the people and the people who used this weapon completely exceeded Sayaka's expectations.

"What, that guy! There are those people who have never heard of it! That's why I said I didn't want to take on the master's task! ”

Saya Hua sighed deeply as she unfolded the barrier used to hide her aura.

Although the purpose of using the enemy's attack to hide his aura was achieved, he was unable to move his body for half a minute. If you don't fight them off, you won't be able to escape from the institute.

The problem is that Saya Hua doesn't know the details of the other party, and she doesn't even know the body of the magic used by the other party and the reason why she was attacked.

"And the tail-chasing style Shikigami was also thrown off, what the hell is going on......!? I've already correctly grasped that guy's positionβ€”"

Saya Hana bit her thumb angrily and lifted Shikigami who had lost her target.

Sayaka's Shikigami undoubtedly captured the enemy's position. If the attacking type of god flies as quickly as a wild fowl, it is impossible for humans to shake it off. It's okay to be shot down, but it's impossible to escape.

"There are 9 decoys left that can be used. I don't have time, but ......! ”

Saya Hana pulled out a new spell from the chest of her uniform.

In order to get rid of Shikigami's pursuit, the enemy must have used some magic. It is necessary to determine the body of the procedure. If it continues like this, Saya Hua will definitely lose.

Saya Hua imitated her own appearance and released 7 Shikigami and sent them in different directions, leaving only one of Shikigami in her hand.

This time, the bait is a Hidden God that only emits a minimum amount of mana. From the enemy's point of view, it should be thought that Sayaka himself hid his aura and fled.

"If this distance is not detected by the other party, it seems that that guy's ability to seek the enemy is not as powerful as he imagined. In that caseβ€”"

Enduring the tension and pressure, Sayaka concentrated on controlling Shikigami. In this operation, time was the key factor in the success of the operation. As long as you are careless for a moment, you will definitely die.

And Saya Hua's tense nerves finally ushered in the upper limit-

One of the decoys that had spread out was attacked by the silver chains.

Eating a blow from the chain that struck like a whip, Shikigami was bounced off.

"Hooked......! Where is it? ”

At this moment, Saya Hua also moved.

In the moments before it was destroyed, Shikigami as a decoy grasped the position of the sorcerer who was attacking. Using this location information, Sayaka ordered the other Shikigami to attack the enemy.

Shikigami transforms from a human form to the form of a wolf-like beast.

Although it consumes a lot of mana, it also greatly increases the attack power and movement speed of Shikigami because of this. They formed a formation and gradually narrowed the encirclement against the enemy.

No matter how fast the enemy sorcerer moves, it is impossible to escape from this encirclement. In order to break through this encirclement, it is necessary to use magic, and this is exactly what Saya Hua wants. It was in order to find out the nature of the enemy's spells that Saya Hua released these Shikikasaki.

However,

"Liar!?"

Suffered a surprise attack from behind, and Sayaka's Shikijin was broken.

Next are two, and then two. Either way, it was broken by an attack from an unexpected direction.

"What the hell, this guy's movement speed! Shikigami was ...... Worst......! ”

Due to the breaking of Shikigami's encirclement, Sayaka's battle failed. The enemy magician, who was supposed to be surrounded by the siege, attacked Shikigami from outside the siege.

All of Shikigami were destroyed in less than ten seconds. Even the last Shikigami was destroyed in front of the eyes of Sayaka who was lying on the ground.

Sayaka held the broken spell and closed her eyes as if in pleading.

After destroying Shikigami as a stand-in for Sayaka, the silver chain disappeared into the air again.

The enemy has more combat power than Sayaka imagined. Sayaka's clever battle was easily crushed by the enemy. However, that great power exposed the enemy's true body.

"Make no mistake, it's a space jump! Rival such a powerful high-ranking magician!? ”

Saya Hua gasped as she slowly stood up.

The enemy uses spatial domination magic. Is it a magician who is proficient in magic, or is it a witch - in terms of the power of magic, it is obvious that the opponent is above Sayaka.

However, Saya Hana, who is the Mai Weiyuan of the Lion King's organ, is good at spelling and assassination. As long as you correctly grasp the opponent's position, there are still several ways to fight.

β€œok…… If you do this, I also have my thoughts here, but don't underestimate the dance of the Lion King. ”

Saya flicked the long ponytail behind her and pulled out a new charm.

"Did you do it...... That's a lot. ”

Sensing the aura of the newly appeared Shikigami, Natsuki's eyes narrowed in disappointment.

Judging from the mana on the individual gods, the amount of its own is not much. It seems that the other party no longer has the equipment to be able to release the complete Shikigami. The Shikigami uses a very ordinary Shikigami for reconnaissance.

However, on the contrary, in terms of quantity, there are a lot. The number of Shikigami is close to 40. The Shikimi released them in all directions, forming a network of encirclements and gradually leaning towards the moon.

"Prioritize the detection of wolves. Although this judgment is good-"

Natsuki used the space jump to move to the outside of the fence.

Even if you ignore the Shikigami used for investigation, there is no problem. What needs to be guarded against is the attack type god mixed in the miscellaneous fish, although there are only 4 of them. I'm afraid that's what the enemy is

"Siege tactics don't work against me. First of all, let's solve one-"

That month unleashed the Silver Lock to attack, to be precise, attacking the four attack-type gods. Before the location of the moon was determined by the scout type god, the moon had already moved to another place through the space jump.

"Is that all?"

Natsuki muttered to himself in disappointment, and broke the two Shikigami again. Contrary to attacking on their own initiative, the enemy's movements are too monotonous. Those Shikigami who were released in large quantities barely played their due role.

"No, it's too simple. I almost didn't realize that I used space to control magicβ€”"

It's not making excuses, but instinctively feeling a sense of disobedience. In the next moment of defeating the last attack type god, Nayue used the space jump -

"What!?"

That moon's vision was obscured by intense flashes of light and explosions. Flames struck the moon from all sides of the Institute. And near the place where the moon landed, an explosive spell was activated.

"Mine belts!? Is this the goal? ”

Because of the continuous explosions, Natsuki's face became stiff.

Whether it's a reconnaissance-type god that has been released in large quantities, or an attack-type god mixed in it, it's just a feint. Predict where the month will last move to, and realize that there is a self-destructing type god set up.

If you move it normally, this trap can be quickly spotted. However, it is difficult to detect this in the month when the moon moves through space jumps. That month was completely caught in the rhythm of the enemy.

"Really, I like this umbrella a lot."

The fierce flames that burned a part of the institute quickly encircled the surroundings of Natsuki. The precious sun umbrellas, made of countless laces, were burned down.

However, that month did not suffer any harm from it. Two arms that protruded from the air, huge arms covered in golden armor, protected her.

This is the arm of the family of the demon who is called the "guardian" of the witch. Natsuki is not an ordinary magician, but a witch with extraordinary powers. The "Guardians" given as the price of the contract will always protect Natsuki herself. If the contract is broken, it will still harvest the watchdog of the soul of that month.

"It's amazing that I was able to use 'Guardian'."

Natsuki covered her mouth with a fan and smiled happily and muttered to herself.

……

A shockwave was created to extinguish the remaining flames, and Natsuki drew a magic circle in the air with his fingers.

"Then it's my turn. You're running out of spells, aren't you? What will you do next, Shiki-oracle? ”

Sayaka sensed the growing magic above her head and ran down the dimly lit passage. The sense of focus gradually occupies Sayaka's mind.

Obviously, he had used all the equipment in his hand in the attack just now, but he didn't even hurt the enemy at all, and this incident itself exceeded Sayaka's expectations.

"Liar, you can block such an attack, what the hell is going on!? There's no time to activate the space control magic! ”

Ignoring her unkempt hair, Saya climbed straight up the stairs.

There are only a few spells left to make Shikigami, and if she is attacked from afar, Saya Hua will definitely lose. Therefore, there is only one option left - to shorten the distance and attack directly.

The problem is that the identity of the enemy has not yet been grasped, but Saya Hua has no time to worry about such things.

"Found it!? What the hell, these guys!? ”

Noticing the same approaching object, Sayaka stopped.

As if waiting for her, a large group of faintly glowing beasts appeared in the narrow emergency passage. It looks like a bear doll, but there are more than 30 of them.

Together, they attacked Sayaka, spinning their short hands and feet as they burst in.

"The witch's messenger! That's a lot, isn't it? ”

Saya looked at the semi-embodied bear made of magic and gritted her teeth.

Although each demon is less than 30 centimeters tall, the amount of magic encapsulated in their body is comparable to that of several grenade (liu) bullets. If they all exploded, it would be easy to blow up a house with these ifs, not to mention what would happen to Sayaka if she was attacked.

"Oops! If it goes on like this, ......! ”

Sayaka, who was pressed by the bears, was finally cornered, and the number of bears that could be seen increased again.

If this continues, Sayaka will be caught up in their self-detonation. (Markne)
