Chapter 77: Lake of Stars

— In the ti kid was dragging one of his feet in the battlefield as he welco from the sky

“So is it over?” (Lancer)

“Probably I went to the highest foothold you prepared after all This wasfrom the top of clouds Don’t you kno to hold back?” (Sofia)

The wo tone of the kid and just answers

“To think htmare I admit I was a bit panicked” (Lancer)

“I was literally the one who experienced it, so I was even more startled The weapon a pervert holds is also in the pervert level huh It was an unshapely dagger I have never seen before though” (Sofia)

“I don’t reer either If possible, I wanted to collect it and duplicate it in our base but…” (Lancer)

The kid-shaped supreon looks at the sword that’s on his hands Only a bit of the base is left from the blade

“So you retrieved it Thanks I totally thought you were frozen in ice and died fro” (Sofia)

“It is a part of me, so it is obvious I would do so However, the moment it was broken, I felt a pain as if h I was inside an annoying case of ice, the pain resuscitated ” (Lancer)

“Well, sorry to hear that Now, let’s give the advance signal to the deht for some time” (Sofia)

“… Your sas broken and your arht againstspirit hasn’t weakened is co” (Lancer)

Lancer’s words smelled like sarcas the ability of his partner Sofia

“In your case, you killed ht? Well, they were reckless people that were gathered to kill a dragon anyways” (Sofia)

“Fumu, this time no one died huh” (Lancer)

“Yeah, aloner and my body is all rattled Even so this is probably better We were able to take care of that pervert called Raidou or so like that In a country without a hero, ill be able to provide enough da of Limia” (Sofia)

One could feel the aon Killer that has passed numerous battles, the self-called merchant Raidou was an existence she couldn’t coic sword that was filled with a supreave her all, she was only able to offset the barrier An incredibly strong barrier And despite all that he took his ti an a in a battlefield to confirm the situation, and on top of that, his indecisive part which only though about escaping froic that Sofia hasn’t seen before Thinking about the cost and perfor functions, it is an inefficient act no one would perforrowing his pubes For his skills with the dagger to be like that, it ful It was to the point one would think he wasfun of the battlefield At least, that’s how Sofia felt

(But that last attack… For some reason, at that one tih he was taken aback and was showing signs of retreating Because of that, he was able to properly clash swords with me, moreover, he broke my sword) (Sofia)

In those movements, she felt like it wasn’t his oill but an instinctive action that kicked in A on Killer

The thoughts of stepping forward against an upco weapon is an action that is practically iician Even if he is a so called merchant However, Raidou did it It made Sofia wonder if Raidou actually has experience in swords me in that situation his body was able to reive me the i like that though Thatis…” (Lancer)

Lancer’s whisper-like words returned Sofia’s consciousness to reality She soon understood why he was looking at the sky with a distorted expression

Fro down froh the clouds, they all came doithout distinction

Each one was thin and were piercing the ground like a buckshot If the barrier of Lancer wasn’t there, the bullets would have hit where the two of them were The power of the bullets were on a level Lancer’s defense was able to defend against, but it was an attack that didn’t weaken Thinking about the numbers, it was in a level that would rain for 10 minutes or so in the battlefield

The dehts falling, one could tell that they were falling into chaos Luckily, it didn’t see, but it was a situation where they can’t relax

“?! This is!” (Sofia)

“da to his grave?!” (Lancer)

“I ao and obstruct him If this continues, the army will be affected!” (Sofia)

“Sofia, you can’t! With the attack just now, the blades working as foothold were all destroyed To think he would be able to destroy that amount of blades!” (Lancer)

“Then create ht… wait” (Sofia)

The words of Sofia urging Lancer were stoppedat the clouds that were blocking the view of the one man that should be there

“… An attack to destroy the footholds for the sake of not pursuing hiht, Raidou? You are telling us your real attack is co now” (Sofia)

Lancer’s expression was filled with bitterness Sofia was staring up as well

This attack just noas practically thrash for Makoto Even with that, it was a e power And in truth, the demon army that received this attack had their formations disturbed

Its eles Unable to coic and was now frostbitten He wasn’t sure if he will be able to use it anymore, but at least he was sure that this level of wound will not let hi in this battlefield

“Just how uy This isn’t an ale person should be able to create! And you are tellingup his sleeves?” (Sofia)

“Water element huh One can tell he is quite confident in his ability ater” (Lancer)

(But what does this mean? A water spirit hasn’t lend anyone its powers in this place Not only that, the ic power in the area is practically unused There is no way he was able to create these spells without utilizing the on Lancer notices a strange point A big aic power is needed in order to do wide area attack ic Of course, one would need the help of a spirit and also the s Because it is iic power

“Water In that case, with this…” (Sofia)

Hearing Lancer’s whisper, Sofia was enlightened and she holds a necklace in her hands

This is a product that lets one gain the assistance of a water spirit, and Lancer also knows of this property However, the usage is only one time In terms of water, one would probably obtain orade tool It’s so valuable they didn’t use it against the “arrow” of Raidou Because Sofia and Lancer were confident they could e without it As a result, Lancer received an injury and when thinking about the current situation, it ht have been the correct decision to save it

(Certainly, with that ould be able to erase the influence of a water spirit from his spells And normally it could even make him misfire No matter what he tries to shoot, with the water spirit prohibiting his skills, the attacks he will be able to shoot are going to be limited But… what’s with this bad presenti on you for foothold I will go where the effective range is and destroy his ic” (Sofia)

“… That is, you can’t Sofia” (Lancer)

“Why?” (Sofia)

“Because it is not certain We will use that, however, it will be for defense” (Lancer)

Believing in his instincts as a supreives instructions to Sofia

And then he contacts the co to calm down the disorder received a contact froainst that person as sue

Even when seeing the golden light that is characteristic of the Goddess, the commander wasn’t controlled by hatred and just concentrated on arranging for the new situation Since the ones who headed to the light were Sofia and Lancer, controlling the army was easier Anyways, he is a capable one

‘Prepare for an incos and create a defense barrier as quick as you can’

One could tell the demon army reacted to the orders promptly As expected, they are really well trained, is what Lancer thought in admiration as he overlooked the situation But there wasn’tto converge Like an idiot who only knows of one thing, he predicted that another of those “arroas co

“Defense, huh Understood Certainly, I have a bad feeling about this” (Sofia)

“That’s how it is You are able to go over there right?” (Lancer)

Lancer points at the de blades in the vicinity

“Your preparations are fast Then, I’ll be going” (Sofia)

“I’ on you” (Lancer)

Sofia nods at Lancer’s words While cradling hies positions with a blade

A great noise pricks the ears of the two They were in the middle of the troops so it is to be expected The two of them hurry to the inside of the defense barrier

“And? Should I use this now?” (Sofia)

Sofia holds the necklace and asks Lancer

“Let’s see In this part should be fine Sofia, use that only to envelop us Just in case” (Lancer)

“?!”

“If it is placed on top of the barrier, h we have shared a table with them for a few days How cruel” (Sofia)

“It’s not like we have becoh?” (Lancer)

“We are in the battlefield after all In terms of position, we are mercenaries It is obvious to think about our lives as priority I will follow the decision of ic power to the indigo blue jewel necklace The jewel glitters and crulittering the jewel produced

“It’s co” (Lancer)

Lancer says

“Really, we are like a bush snake” (Sofia)
