Chapter 214: Sacred Princess (2)

Truly?

What could the likes of herself do?

...Does not understand, does not understand, the past does not return, the mistaken choice does not overturn.

’Alter Native. The one who tramples you.’

That day while hugging the weak little sister. Evil descended.

The white-haired man changing evacuated people into monsters and laughing boldly. At the figure of the little sister smiling seeming happy while held in those arms Altina ends up confused.

Because never directed that kind of expression at herself once.

Why? Why? Older sister properly worked hard? Why not herself, directing that kind of expression at that kind of man?

’...U, gu, Gray, s.’

At that kind of time she heard the youth’s voice.

Among the men changing into monsters one after another, while suffering and groaning yet maintaining human form Grace’s brother. Arg Wayne, the slender man person she was unconsciously looking from afar.

’Go, Sacred Knight. No, Grace!’

Therefore she shouted toward Knight who was hesitating in judgment.

Family, precious, then protect. Arming with that kind of correctness, but somewhere in the heart making an excuse ’do not want that person to die’.

’I am fine, not lose to this degree of opponent! Please, your family!’

(Ah. These words the biggest blunder.)

Were words without lie or falsehood.

Because light is a thing that illuminates darkness. No logic of shining light losing to evil. And the betrayed little sister, talentless Meldiana, no way becoming fighting power. Believed not even one fragment of reason to lose.

’...Aa, as I thought, older sister, that way, thinking...!’

At those words Meldiana was astonished and spilled tears.

That was surely violent words suitable for smashing the affection remaining in Meldiana.

At the figure of her readying black twin swords and jumping in Altina of that time was also able to discern she misspoke. But could not understand.

Why? Why? But Moldi. You being weak is natural?

While confused that way the body naturally moved.

Meldiana Calmate sided with evil and attacked themselves. Then there is no way able to hold back.

’Restraint release. Aurora, gather on the sword!’

End in one blow.

Purify and destroy evil, achieve justice. Dye everything white with light.

With that kind of feeling released aurora.

’Aha. As Alter-sama said came to end at the first move. That shine is envious, older sister!’

The aurora that destroys evil vanished.

The certain-kill one blow vainly disperses, remaining only herself of an astonished face.

"Why."

"Aa. This power, this shine, this light. Forever forever was envious, older sister!"

Without time to confuse Meldiana swings the black twin blades.

That movement is sharp, fast. Not the movement of a talentless little sister. Rather that speed is a level comparable to Sacred.

’...Absorbed my magical power, into her own power...!?’

While parrying the slashes pouring like clouds and mist Altina leaks a voice of astonishment.

The technique of appropriating the other party’s power is not a thing of light.

But Meldiana who absorbed the princess’s attack temporarily possessed light of a level equal to Sacred. Therefore Altina being overwhelmed was a natural conclusion.

’’Black-iron binding chains, entangle.’ ...Now, avoid as you like. Leave the vanguard to Moldi, be useful to me.’

’Yes, of course...!’

Because the enemy is not only Meldiana.

Avoiding the chains ejected with cunning snake-like movement.

Of course chains produced by magical power of darkness even if wrapping on the body can destroy in an instant. If only Alter there was no element of struggling for the princess.

’Ahaha, the body is light! With this can do anything...!’

But she does not think the little sister overlooks that one instant.

If even one instant of opening Meldiana would be able to cut Altina’s body many layers.

And Sacred Princess’s ability is inferior to Saber and Knight unless removing the limiter. If Knight would have repelled Meldiana’s slash with her own sturdiness alone, if Saber would have been able to fight Meldiana while avoiding the chains.

Of course what overturns that is Sacred Princess’s full power.

If removing the limiter and able to slam a full-power one blow the battle situation overturns.

’Restraint release.’

’Probably, Moldi!’

’Yes! ...That shine is envious!’

Yes, if able to slam.

Trying to blow Meldiana away together with the chains trying to entangle this side. That initial motion is crushed.

Fatally bad compatibility.

Meldiana’s ability. A dark skill that neutralizes the other party’s attack and converts to magical power for self-enhancement.

Altina’s full power has large initial motion, and also uses much magical power. Easy for Meldiana to neutralize, and on top the rise width of self-enhancement also high.

Better if able to defeat Meldiana without removing the limiter, but by Alter’s assistance that is also difficult.

’Then only endure until everyone returns...!’

Therefore give up defeating with herself alone.

In this castle are Knight and Arrow, outside the castle is Saber. If someone notices abnormality and rushes then can win.

While repelling the black twin blades knocking away the assisting magic. Without impatience, solidly, one by one.

Faithful to basics, if saying so sounds bad but refined foundation is a more sturdy thing than anything. Because the correct path, the royal path, is a path that does not shake that easily.

Alter’s expression distorts annoyed.

’Tch, despite sealing the ability cannot finish. ...Mu?’

’Princess Altina! I will assist!’

That was a man wrapping black armor.

At the voice of him making the pupils shine red with burning fighting spirit Altina knew.

Arg Wayne.

Grace’s brother, a slender and seeming-kind person.

At that figure wrapping black armor Altina though confused floated an expression of relief.

’...Got it! Together let’s overcome this predicament!’

’...Yes!’

While hearing Arg’s voice trembling with joy she holds a slight question.

What happened to Grace?

Was he not carrying him to a safe place?

There was a question. But now no leeway to think that kind of thing she cut that away.

If not defeating evil here the damage only spreads. Then thinking this and that fine later.

Ah. What thinking stop.

After all the girl named Altina was only seeing a world convenient for herself.

’An unfamiliar Monster Villain. When experimented with Remora’s lot that kind of existence was not born.’

’Worldly nonsense! Leave from the princess.’

While shouting at Alter directing a gaze as if observing an experimental animal Arg swings the sword.

That blade toward Meldiana attacking Altina.

’But just right. Monster Villain, ’lend a hand’.’

In that instant the back was cut.

The black blade gouges Altina. Burning black flames burn the back.

’...E?’

Why, why?

Assist, help, said so.

A Monster Villain is made to obey a Magician Diabolic.

Therefore in this place the will of the man named Arg who is not Vigilante is completely meaningless.

At that time no way of knowing that kind of thing.

The body and thinking stiffening by sudden betrayal. The man in front was not sweet enough to overlook that.

Jarari chains ring. At the sensation of limbs restrained she hurriedly tries to escape, but.

’Thought let?’

The swung twin blades cut the tendons of the limbs.

But this degree of wound healing possible. Thinking so right after a sword is thrust from behind.

’Go. ho.’

’If kidnapping even the princess no more use here. Withdraw.’

’Yes! ...Do not think able to escape, older sister.’

No good, if collapsing here no good. She thought, but the body does not move.

Right before losing consciousness she saw the little sister leaning close to evil with a face like a girl in love.

Ah, come to think of it. Did that child ever say ’want helped’ to herself once.

Want power lent because impossible for herself, need help.

No, in the first place.
