Chapter 183: An Emergency – Sophia’s Point of View 3
“Only magic…?”
“Ah! As I recall, your spirit is a water spirit, right? Then I’ll take you on with water magic alone.”
Even if it was only magic, if I got serious, the mock battle would be over in an instant. I’m not trying to agitate Elira. I just want to show her the difference in power that cannot be exceeded. I don’t even want her to be next to my brother without me.
“You won’t make excuses if you lose because of that, will you?”
“Of course not.”
If I lose or use other attributes in this, I would have to admit that Elira is the winner. Of course it won’t come to that.
“Don’t be sorry!”
She said so and released a water blade. To that I made a wall of water to prevent it.
Ad
“Return.”
I fired a dozen or so shots, similar to the magic that Elira had unleashed. All of them were avoided. From that point on, we both started shooting magic at each other.
“Damn…”
“Oh? Are you done?”
We’ve been trading magic for less than half an hour now. Elira’s magic power has decreased considerably and she is having a hard time. To be honest, I’ve used at least five times as much magic as Elira has. If we had used the same amount of magic, I would have lost. Elira is better than me when it comes to water magic.
“This is the last!”
Saying this, Elira created a water dragon. As expected, it was difficult to deal with that one. I might be able to prevent it if I forcefully push the water magic, but when it collides with my magic, it will have some effect on the surroundings and Zero-Niisama who is refereeing nearby. Of course, with that level of damage, my brother would avoid it as a matter of course. But I don’t want to do anything that has even the slightest chance of causing damage to my brother. There are a number of non-magical skills that can prevent this. But even then, it would mean that I used something other than water magic.
“Haa…water bomb.”
I made dozens of water bombs with many times the normal amount of magical power. With this, let’s chip away at that water dragon a little bit at a time. If that doesn’t seem to work…….
“Go! Water dragon.”
“Kishnaaaaaa !!!!!!”
Ad
Just as Elira was about to unleash the water dragon, a loud high-pitched cry of something rang out.
“What the…!”
“What!”
Even the three higher elves seemed to have no idea what was going on. They are confused. Then one of the elves entered the training area. The elf was very upset. Moreover, his face was pale and he looked as if he was about to collapse.
“E…Emperor Moth… has appeared…”
“From the sound of that cry, It’s close…. Let’s go and take it down right now. Where is it?”
Emperor moth is the name of the caterpillar monster that is common around here when it grows into a moth. I know this because I was investigating various things in the elven village while my brother was sleeping.
“Ah, uh… that…”
“If they break the barrier and come into the village, we’ll be in danger! Speak quickly!”
The dark elf is more pissed off at the elf who can’t speak well with his teeth clenched and shaking. As a superior, I think she should calm him down at times like this, but, well, that’s none of my business.
Ad
“It, it appeared in the spirit tree…”
“What? That’s impossible!”
It goes from a caterpillar monster to a chrysalis before becoming an emperor moth. During that time, it cannot move on its own. Of course, that’s why it is impossible for it to enter the village where barriers are in place.
If it were possible, the only way would be to destroy the barriers, find the chrysalis on the verge of hatching during that time and attach it to the spirit tree. In other words, there was a perfect opportunity just a few weeks ago and on that occasion, all the upper elves were asleep.
“We’re screwed…..”
Perhaps sensing this, the three upper elves also fell to their knees, their faces pale. In the midst of all this, only Elira ran to my brother.
“Why aren’t those three going to defeat it right now?”
However, I stood to block Elira and asked her a question. I had asked around, but I had not heard everything. I don’t know why we aren’t going to defeat it right now. This is something my brother doesn’t seem to understand either and he’s going right back and forth.
“Normally, when Emperor Moth appears, it’s outside the village and we can defeat it with our elites.”
“Yeah.”
“But spirit magic doesn’t work on Emperor Moths that have sucked the sap of the spirit tree. Moreover, its resistance to magic attack is abnormally high…”
“I see.”
I heard a good thing. In other words, the three elves cannot use spirit descent to attack. Even if they are better at close combat than other elves, it’s because their tactics are based on the descent of spirits. If that dark elf couldn’t use spirit descent, she wouldn’t be able to beat my brother who doesn’t even have enchantment. And magic is used for spirit magic and it’s not powerful in itself. From the looks of it, it seems impossible to inflict a mortal wound on Emperor Moth with ordinary magic.
After asking Elira to wait for a while, I went to the Elven queen.
“I have a proposal.”
Then I spoke this in a whisper near the kneeling queen’s ear.
“A proposal…?”
“That Emperor Moth is mine and my brother’s to kill.”
“Eh!”
The queen got excited! She looked up with a happy expression on her face. I wanted to hit her now. She seemed to have forgotten that my brother even had enchantments or, rather, in her mind, she didn’t include my brother as an asset in the first place?
“But there is a condition.”
“Condition?”
She looked surprised when she heard the word “condition”. Did she think she would get unconditional help?
“If you can make up for all the things you did to Zero-Niisama, not saving him from the dragon demon, not training him in the elf village and so on, we’ll kill that thing ourselves.”
“…… Even without that, Zeros-sama would…”
“If you can’t take it, then Zero-Niisama and I will leave this village right now with spatial magic.”
“What…!”
In this situation, she tried to take advantage of my brother. I thought I would let him go right now. Since two people cannot be transferred at the same time, I could wait for the transfer interval to end outside the village. Fortunately, due to the barrier, the Emperor Moth is trapped inside the village. It would have been quicker to make a proposal to her entourage beside her if I had to do this.
“If you do that, you’d be resented by Zeros-sama…”
“Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five.”
Ad
I’m only interested in the outcome of saving my brother. That’s why I am making this proposal. There’s no inconvenience for me and my brother to ignore Emperor Moth. It’s just that the elves may be destroyed. So if I count to zero and she’s still saying the same thing, I won’t help her. Oh, let’s just take Elira with us. Even if it’s only at water magic, she’s better than me, so I’m sure she’ll be useful at some point.
“Four, three, two.”
“I accept your terms.”
“Okay.”
I wanted her to decide quickly because that was the only conclusion she could come to anyway. I took Elira to my brother so I can tell them about the plan….
Oh, I didn’t tell her, but I have seen and fought the Emperor Moth many times near the Elven Village. I alone was not a good match for it and it flew away each time before I could deal a fatal blow. This time I don’t have to worry about it escaping because of the barrier and I’m with my brother. I won’t be defeated by a moth that is just big.
