Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 473
The human race spreads the holy law with the divine power of the demon god, and speaks of punishment for the apostate.
Looking at the situation alone, it was just something to be dismissed as part of the numerous eccentricities and madness that took place on the battlefield.
In the first place, demons weren’t the only ones living in the Demonic Territory, so it’s not unusual to see humans worshiping demons.
If you have sincere faith, you can awaken your divine power, and if you do, it is possible to train to a level where you can fight enough, even if you are weaker than other heretic judges or warriors of the church.
It was just that the Demonic Church did not intervene in this war, so there was nothing to do.
So, it was a very rare spectacle to see humans like the Crusader of the Demonic Church fighting alongside the army of the Itthiel kingdom and the hero, but it was not impossible.
However, it was a different matter for the target to lay waste to the frontlines with the power of a warrior.
Because of that, the Demon King’s army fell into confusion, and unlike usual when they wielded swords mechanically, they had no choice but to fall into trouble while using their brains.
“What is it!? Why is the Crusader of the Demonic Church out there!?”
In fact, whether it was a crusader, a paladin, or a heretic judge, such a small thing was fine.
What was important was the fact that the existence of the Demonic Church, which had remained silent and did not participate in the war even though it was regarded as a great war on which the fate of the race depended, appeared in the enemy camp.
Because it had enough ripple power to paralyze the demon king’s reason.
While the mercilessly pushed front line was ridiculed at first, and the word “apostasy” he shouted made the soldiers’ limbs heavy, the unknown tension that had been hovering among the Demon King’s forces gradually began to degenerate into anxiety and fear.
“Fuck your senses! Wake up, you bastards! We are demons! Even if we serve the demon, we serve it, and even if we receive the protection of the demon, we receive it! Don’t be swayed by such words!”
It was a natural step for those called foremen and captains to raise their voices in order to end such anxiety and seize all discipline.
“Are those guys who rolled as they were supposed to on this fucking battlefield get swayed by something like that?!”
The demons, who could tell just by looking at the scars on their face and horns, how many lives and deaths they had crossed, shouted in a loud voice and cut the kingdom army in half.
Even in the midst of this, the other captain, who had been arranging the battle lines with an extremely calm attitude, tried to calm the confusion by entrusting the new recruits who could not come to their senses to the senior officers.
The centurion, one of the few battle mages among the demons, drew the attention of allies by deliberately casting vast magic to boost morale.
“Don’t forget what you’re fighting for! For freedom!”
Their judgment for their allies was not wrong. In fact, some of the soldiers ‘nearly’ were moved by their courageous actions and quickly regained their stability.
The only fault they have is that they didn’t know that they shouldn’t expose their location like that.
-Piik!
Even in the overflowing noise, Eldmia’s needle crosses the battlefield with a whistling sound that is so alien to the ears.
The mouth of a warrior who roared loudly while throwing a knight halfway through was pierced, the captain who was calmly maintaining the square had a hole in the back of his head, and the centurion’s heart, which was on the verge of shooting magic with the maximal magical power, was pierced. It took less than a minute to pierce.
Only screams of pain came out of the warrior who wanted to boost the morale of his allies, and the despair of the team members who lost their trustworthy leader accelerated even more, and the magic that the caster lost ran out of control, causing a huge explosion in the area.
In the chaos of the battlefield, only two people realized that Eldmia had caused all these deaths.
With Siegfried, who already knows what his weapon is.
“The hero is not the problem! Kill the flute knight! He uses the artifact!”
One of the Demon King’s forces bravely rushed to stop it after realizing that unknown projectiles were flying around and slaughtering allies in accordance with Eldmia’s whistle. The rest of the needles floated beside Eldmia, who faced him as he entered from the front, and the whistle rang out once more.
“I! I will open the way!”
It was a heroic sight for the demon lords. The soldier who rushed towards Eldmia not only responded to all those needles, but also succeeded in evading and defending with ghostly movements. Raising his small buckler and short sword forward, he closed the distance by destroying all eight projectiles with only his skill.
For the Demon King’s army, whose strength is everything, the movement was like an indicator that gave them the belief that they could win the battle if they listened to his instructions, and the veterans around them who made up their minds in a short moment of only tens of seconds also fixed their weapons. I grabbed it and ran towards Eldmia.
There are knights around him, but they don’t matter. Even if I die here, I will definitely kill that one guy. The movement of the demon king’s army, which raised its magic with such determination, was explosive, but…
“Eldmia!”
Seeing the scene, Siegfried’s urgent shouts made him show a slight hesitation.
Most of the missions and operations of the Special Operations Command were carried out in secret, so soldiers on the frontlines could not all know about it, but there was one major incident that no one knew.
An incident in which a magic bomb was sent to the territory of Etis-El and tried to explode, but was reversed and suffered enormous damage. No matter how special operations headquarters were, there was no way to completely silence the disaster, and after the rumors spread, there was no one in the Demon King’s Army who didn’t know.
Special Operations Command’s official name for operation ‘Thunderbolt’.
After an unexpected and devastating failure, it was called ‘blind thunderbolt’, but ordinary soldiers who did not know this called it ‘Little Eldmia Raid Incident’.
Could the flute knight be ‘that’ Eldmia…?
“Don’t just call me by name, look ahead.”
There was no way to know the expression inside the helmet. However, that calm answer represented the skill and confidence of the flute knight, and an enormous amount of mana overflowed from his body.
“mind…?!”
Before the soldier who was running at the forefront could even finish speaking, his head was cut off with his shield, sword, and hand.
The blow was so clean that you could see a white line in the air, and it was incredibly fast for a two-handed axe. However, there was no time to admire the soldiers who ran after him. Because Eldmia, who had killed one person by instantly closing the distance of 10 meters, blew her whistle again.
It was so natural that I wondered if it sounded like a flute every time I moved. Someone admired this, and someone faintly felt that divine power began to descend on the magic felt by Eldmia, and died without avoiding the flying needle.
“This is so damn good!”
The soldier who was trying to take down Eldmia’s ax that was being swung to cut his throat while barely avoiding the needle expressed regret and the cry he put in his mouth became a will.
The other soldier, who understood that the movement was faster than before, flew back and attacked the other allies with the ax stuck in his chest, not understanding the situation of the flying two-handed axe.
“There is no noble cause or freedom in your fight, you blind apostates.”
Even though he slaughtered a man in an instant, the flute knight didn’t even get out of breath. Among those who tried to make a bold charge, only one soldier at the rear understood the meaning of the intact magical energy and divine power that he felt from him.
It is unknown whether it was because of his lack of skills or the slowest decision, but he sat down on the floor as he fully understood the situation at the cost of his comrades who had died earlier. Thanks to that, he was able to avoid the needle that was aiming at his neck and saved his life, but he couldn’t be relieved by that fact.
“Dragon, warrior…”
Humans cannot use magic.
What is it if not a hero who directly refutes the fact that is like an immutable truth that has been with the history of the continent?
“He’s a hero! The hero of the devil has joined the human race!”
However, the warriors brandish their weapons, calling themselves apostates.
The soldier who sat on the ground in a reality that was hard to handle with his sober mind eventually chose to run away, digging through the mud without even thinking about lifting his weapon again.
“M-Demon abandoned us!!”
Seeing the soldier screaming and running away with a distorted face, Eldmia clicked her tongue briefly and reached out to retrieve the axe, then stood up again.
“no.”
Anyone could see that he was in a position to throw a two-handed axe, but no one dared to stop it. Unlike the Humans, who had already given up on understanding the situation and decided to focus only on doing their duty, what the fleeing soldier felt was felt by the demon army around him as well… …Really a demon
warrior Anxiety about what might happen made their limbs heavy.
“‘You’ turned your back on the ‘sama’ you drank.”
As soon as the ax that left his hand was driven into the back of the fleeing soldier, a new flare came from the Demon King’s army.
It was the signal to announce the arrival of the brave response force and the signal to retreat.
