The Contractor of the New Sister Devil

……but.

Walnut still has not given up the idea of ​​victory.

——After being threatened by Adomiles, Walnut chose to delay time.

Regardless of whether the blade was imprisoned by the enemy or deliberately concealed his whereabouts, at least he is now probably in a place where the outside world cannot feel its magic or breath.

And Walnut, which can manipulate the elves, can be aware of his presence immediately when he leaves that place before the blade rushes here, knowing that he is safe.In other words-

...Even if you get caught.

Blade will definitely try to escape.Therefore, Walnut, in turn, took advantage of Adomiles’ threat of "releasing the water more naturally", believing that the blade will definitely come back to buy time, and talk to the opponent until he knows that the blade is safer; after all, Adomiles will also avoid using decisive The moves are so as not to be too easy to distinguish the winner or lose and cause doubt.Just follow the major premise, since the knife is more likely to be truly imprisoned, you can't take it casually until you are sure that he is safe.

".................."

I am afraid that his own strength is not as good as Adomiles-even though the original unfavorable situation has worsened under the duress, Walnut still does not give up hope and moves forward.If she loses after all, then there will be a powerful Jeste; if she can't confirm the safety of the blade for her first, she who is more loyal to the blade is likely to succumb to the same intimidation.Maybe-Walnut was destined to lose when he was threatened, but even so... I had to try to make Jeste feel at ease.

...That's right.

Walnut clenched his fists tightly.

We must not lose in vain, we must fight to the last moment.

This is the current self-the battle of the wild walnut.

Nozomi Yuki, watching her sister's battle in the stable rest room.

Mio went to the modest infirmary to visit Valeria who had fainted. No. 4 Just was in the passage to prepare for battle, and Yuuki was the only one in the lounge.

——The battle between Walnut and Adomiles is currently in a fierce aerial fight.

In terms of distance, the magic walnut is advantageous, but the speed is the advantage.

Since Adomiles was able to set up a powerful wall, it would take longer to cast a powerful magic to break through that wall and give the opponent a chance to get close.Therefore, the basic structure of this battle will be that Walnut seizes the time to chant powerful magic, while Adomiles takes advantage of the gap to shorten the distance and strikes hard. The victory and defeat of both sides are hanging in the line-logically speaking, it should be. So, but--

"……walnut?"

Yuxi frowned suspiciously because of the current battle.

——Walnut's timing of avoidance always seems too early.At first she thought that she wanted to keep her distance in a safer way, but that was not the case.If she puts avoidance before accumulating attack power, at least she should increase the number of attacks or make more changes, and she has not done so.

Unwilling to imagine the possibility, he couldn't help but slip out of his lips.

"She... didn't use all her strength?"

"...A bit weird."

At this time, Leohart also began to feel that the situation was not quite right.

In addition to dodge Walnut's magical attacks with a swift circling, Adomiles cuts away with a giant scythe from time to time, and at the same time uses his mount to make surprise attacks; but each time it is only a little bit close, allowing Walnut to dodge without danger.It seems to be--

... deliberately let the other party be able to barely escape?

He and his horse assaulted seriously, the speed and power were not as simple as they are now.

……but.

Walnut's performance is even stranger.Judging from the way Adomiles fights, she should first draw up a strategy that can reduce his mobility, but her goal is only on Adomiles; and all the magic she uses is flashy and the content is rather monotonous.Ordinary audiences can't see this contradiction, only people with a certain level of strength can detect it.

Generally speaking, Walnut is a family of brave men who came to the Demon World to help Mio, and their attitude should not be so negative.If there is a reason--

"--Mostly it was Adomiles who used the Dongcheng Blade to be even more absent, and made up stories to frustrate her."

Russ expressed a possibility.

"Isn't there such a possibility... Your Majesty Leohart, need your subordinates deal with it?"

Balfreia hinted that Leohart could take the opportunity to abort the duel and hold the Cardinals accountable.

There is indeed this move.This decisive battle is nominally sponsored by the Cardinal; if their people threaten each other to fight a fake duel, the public's trust in the Cardinal will definitely collapse.When Leohart thought about which was easier to achieve what he wanted compared to their original plan--

"No need-it's better to look at it like this."

Lars gave a chuckle and said:

"We don't have evidence of the Cardinal's deception. Even if it is true, this is not a sports competition, but a bet on each other's future and a just war. I don't understand the feeling of being upright and deciding victory, but psychological warfare is also a battle. No matter what the other party says to her, what the Cardinal and Adomiles are thinking about, if she messes up like this, it means that that aspect is her weakness. We don’t need to give too much to the enemy’s weakness. Sympathy?"

Besides...

"That guy is a dog raised in the cardinal's house. The psychological warfare they arranged may actually be used to seduce us. If you act rashly, you might fall into their trap."

"It's true... But I still want to know what plans the Cardinal has in there."

"Subordinates understand-I'm going to check the situation now."

After hearing Leohart's words, Valfreia nodded and said:

"After all, it depends on the situation, it will take a while before I play."

When he stepped out of the lounge-the battle between Adomiles and Walnut changed.

The two people who had fought in the air got into the canyon spreading over the vast rocky ground like cracks.

Between the huge rock and the huge rock, the slender space is like a maze.

Due to the complex terrain, once the judgment is slightly delayed, it may crash into pieces; however, the wild walnut is still flying through the canyon at high speed under the guidance of the elf.

——But, she still can't get rid of Adomiles behind her.

In order to get rid of each other, the flying walnut flew from a wide space from time to time into a slit that only she could barely pass through; it is a pity that Adomiles did not fall into her fake action once, and always took the shortest path he and Pegasus could pass. In hot pursuit.I'm afraid that the flying horse can feel the changes in the airflow and know the terrain of the canyon in advance.

...If it's Jest...!

At this time--Jest, flying with her own wings, can use her good earth magic to control the surrounding rock walls, and conduct various restraints or obstructions; high-level magicians like Mio can also activate the wind system at the same time Magic and earth magic—but Walnut cannot do that.

The magic of walnut is activated by the power of elves.Earth magic and flying magic that belong to the wind system conflict with each other, while using the opposite magic at the same time, it is easy to cancel the power, causing the flight speed to slow... or even stall and fall; only the same wind magic, or fire or Water-but the canyon is quite dry, it is difficult to adjust the water enough to make an effective attack; the blasting magic is the same as before, it can't delay him.

"Then I will...!"

Walnut released a giant air blade toward the front, waiting for a beat, and then released countless small air blades in the same direction.Then-the huge rock protruding from the rock wall, tens of meters wide, was broken by the roots and began to fall; the countless small air blades that came later shredded it into a large waterfall of one-meter-level rocks from various directions.That is not to stop.Walnut flew past the rocks that almost hit her, and immediately turned back—

"Drink!"

And stretched his hands forward, smashing the violent wind from both sides to a large number of falling rocks.

The rocks bounced by the strong air mass all shot at Adomiles at a speed faster than the artillery shells.

"I can't stand it..."
