Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 641
Chapter 641
I took back what I said about the dwarf train not being all that amazing. Except for the brief moment where I was excited to see something like a transforming golem appear, the appearance of the transformed train was truly amazing.
I would have been surprised if the outer walls and ceiling had simply been changed into cover to deal with enemies outside the train, but I never thought that something would come out that could change direction in real time. Thanks to that, the surrounding area that had been blocked off completely opened up, and I suffered from the wind blowing like crazy, but it was much better than being blocked off and not being able to move properly.
The sight of the captain of the guard and the knights in front, and the dwarves led by Ambassador Hulgen behind, holding crossbows loaded with thick bolts and aiming at the pieces of cloth that had chased the train again in an instant was truly impressive. Even though they had suddenly encountered vampires, no one moved on their own and just the sight of them thoroughly waiting for orders made me trust them.
“shooting!”
But what was most impressive was the order from Ambassador Hugen that followed my cheap provocation and the dwarves’ reaction.
As soon as his short command was given, the crossbows held by the dwarves fired bolts simultaneously as if they were connected by a single trigger, and the bolts that were fired like a net split the air at a much faster speed than ordinary crossbows and poured down on the vampires.
Even if the Imperial Guard is made up of knights, it is hard to believe that they are just an ordinary delegation and their entourage. Their skilled training makes me wonder if the Dwarves are actually a conscription nation. Even if I and the Guard hadn’t been there, wouldn’t a decent force have been crushed to death as soon as they attempted to attack the train?
It’s just a shame that the one who attacked the train today was not an ordinary person.
[The mere mortal bastards are running wild without even understanding the topic.]
As expected, the piece of cloth that had been silent until just a moment ago began to make a noise-like noise and mocked the dwarves. It didn’t even pretend to dodge, as if trying to prove that the dwarves’ attacks couldn’t cause any damage. However, Ambassador Hulgen and the dwarves who saw it were not flustered and just laughed.
“Not less than two, prepare the grenade!”
It was a commanding line accompanied by an incomprehensible muttering, but the dwarves had already started reloading before the order was given.
If there really weren’t any hits, it would have been nice to just take a look once, but the vampire didn’t seem to have any intention of leaving the dwarves alone, so he took a single convulsive twitch as a signal and jumped towards the train.
-Thump!
And then, in an instant, he ran into two knights who blocked his path with their shields and bodies, and he couldn’t go any further. Not only that, but the moment he collided with the shields, his transformation was canceled and he turned back into the form of the woman he had seen briefly earlier.
“Ugh!?”
Clear embarrassment. He rolled on the floor once and bounced up, but he still felt his own body, so he must have been quite surprised.
Actually, that was the same for me too. This was exactly the picture that Este had expected.
“That’s real”
[I told you it would be clear!]
The power of the vampire is ultimately the divine power of the evil god, and the transformation of the vampire is also maintained by the continuous application of the divine power in a similar context, so if another divine power is mixed in, it will return to its original form, even if only for a moment.
The holy method that was given to the knights based on Este’s words that it was one of the methods of conquering vampires that she found in her memories, worked very well as an electric fly swatter for vampires.
“The remaining tricks···!”
Thanks to that, the vampire that was trying to attack the dwarves and Ambassador Hulgen next to me was suddenly surrounded by knights, and the other four knights, who did not miss that brief moment, rushed at the guy while raising their swords and shields that they had previously cast a spell on.
“Do you think that will work?”
The posture of lowering one’s posture and spreading one’s arms wide to the left and right, as if roaring like a beast, was nothing more than an instinctive action unrelated to any combat technique, but the consequences were serious. When the vampire’s fingers scraped against the shield, a grinding sound was heard, and when the palms collided, the shield buckled.
Considering that the equipment worn by the knights is all high-quality equipment ordered by the imperial court and enchanted, this is an unbelievable level of strength. Even if you bring in the sword Kanshi right now, he can’t do something like that.
However, despite the vampires’ fierce attacks, the knights calmly continued their attack and defense.
Unlike the vampires in their fancy dresses who would occasionally swear whenever they opened their mouths, the knights did not even exchange a short word to get along, let alone talk. Nevertheless, they moved their swords and shields like limbs and blocked the vampires without hindering each other’s movements, showing how much training and practice they had gone through.
It was definitely a skill that Esmue could confidently call her an escort, but even she was not enough to overcome the situation. The problem was not with them, but with the vampires who couldn’t even show a hint of life no matter how well they worked together.
This is a case where not only the attack is fierce, but the defense is also disgusting.
The gorgeous dress that doesn’t seem to fit in battle at all is more resistant to swords than chainmail. She can block swords just by extending her hand without having to grow her fingernails long, and she doesn’t even hesitate to grab them and try to crush them.
In the process, the only emotion the vampire shows is not embarrassment or hesitation from being surrounded, but only irritation. Even then, it seems that it is not because the knights are difficult to deal with, but because the cover that Ambassador Hulgen is constantly changing to assist the knights is disturbing.
Of course, his train manipulation was as amazing as the train transformation. If there was such a thing as an ego shield, it would have been like that.
They move out of the way automatically according to the movement of their allies, and when the enemy moves, they rush in and block their movements. If it weren’t for the help of Ambassador Hulgen, who constantly interfered with the movements of the vampires, the wounded would have come out long ago.
But even though they’ve matched up to that point, they still can’t overpower the vampires. Even when they’re fighting purely with hand-to-hand combat without using any other powers.
“Ready to fire the grenade!”
Whether it is because they look down on us or because there is some other reason, we cannot tell, but the dwarves shout loudly and their crossbows are aimed at the vampires once again.
If we judge it by the fact that it jumped onto the train, which could be called our territory, the vampire was arrogant, but it was not stupid enough to just watch the second crossbow being aimed.
“Do you think I’d be interested in playing around with you like that?!”
Suddenly, a red fog appeared around the guy. But before that, what I sensed was the divine power that the guy had drawn up.
It was definitely different from the remnants of the evil spirits used by the Demon King’s army. I don’t know why, but the divine power that the vampire used was more similar to me than that of other priests or evil spirits.
“It’s all over!!”
The red fog around the vampire turns into liquid along with the guy’s scream that is so frightening that it is hard to analyze it that it resonates like a scream, and the liquid scatters like icicles and shoots out.
As expected of a guy who showed terrible power even with his bare body, the ability he used was even more outrageous. The guy’s ability, which was cast so quickly that only a few people could react properly, was so powerful that it dug into the outer wall and floor of the train that Ambassador Hulgen was moving on, leaving scars.
But there were no casualties on our side. The reason I didn’t come to the front and stayed like a stone statue next to Ambassador Hullgen was to respond to such attacks.
“···What the hell are you doing·”
The vampire, who was showing a strange symptom of red pupils instead of whites of eyes, in the frozen blood that spread out like icicles everywhere, glared at me and asked, It seems like he sensed the sacred spell I was diligently casting.
I felt like my divine power was slowly draining away as I protected everyone around me with the holy law and even spread a magnetic field that sprayed divine power in reverse as if I had undone the guy’s transformation. However, since I was still able to deal with it on my own without having to use the divine power built into Este, I had the luxury of looking the vampire in the eye and making a mocking sound.
Although I was evaluated as an unselfish warrior who could barely use one magic spell to grant others in the time it takes to use three offensive magic spells on the saintess, I am a warrior who knows how to use most magic spells. In that case, how could I possibly use the ignorant attack ground, regardless of whether my allies die or not, when the threat of the vampire is right in front of me?
“I don’t introduce myself to that fucking punk.”
My position in this battle is not Dealer, but the unique Buffer.
“shooting!”
The dwarves’ crossbows fired a second shot along with Ambassador Hulgen’s shouts that continued. The vampire seemed to sense some sense of danger and tried to move its body in a hurry to escape from the line of fire, but the attempt was not successful due to the interference of Ambassador Hulgen and me.
The outer wall of the castle and the train stretched out in an instant, becoming chains and a prison, blocking the guy’s escape route.
The already distorted guy bent down to charge straight ahead, revealing his sharp fangs, but what greeted him were bolts fired.
-Pubberbubung!
···Isn’t that right? Was it a firecracker?
“Kuaaaah!!”
With a scream that seemed to rip apart, blood spurted out from the vampire’s body, which had not been easily scratched by the knights’ swords.
