Her voice, heard through the magic circle, was a mixture of cheer and satisfaction.
From Ray’s perspective, there is no reason to refuse a free trip.
I was already tired because a lot of things had happened recently, but I thought it was okay.
However, I am suspicious because the conditions offered are too luxurious.
“What is your purpose?”
[Are you kidding?]
“It’s a joke. “I like it.”
[Okay~ decision~ So… Don’t get caught.]
“Cook, do you really think I will get caught?”
[No.]
Laura ended the contact with those words.
While they were contacting her, Ray and White and the others came to the garden outside the castle.
White and Ray faced off once again in a pure white garden full of flowers.
“Hmm… “Are you taking care not to let other people get caught up in it?”
“Well, that’s fine. Are you doing this based on one witness? “I didn’t know you were such a stupid person?”
“Don’t worry. “I’m not doing this because of just one witness.”
“Hoo? “Do you think there’s more?”
Although he pretended to be relaxed, Ray was deep down worried, ‘What if the evidence really comes out?’
Of course, he could swear that he had nothing to do with the Garion Mansion arson incident.
Still, when such an honest and just person pushes things around, you can’t help but think there’s something there.
When Ray asked, White answered by shaking his head and pointed the tip of his sword at Ray.
“Then, let’s go.”
“Ahaha… Damn it. “Even if you win, it doesn’t feel like you won.”
After saying that, Ray activated .
Then, hundreds of swords were created in the air and attacked White along the tips of Ray’s fingers.
White raised his shield as he saw the swords flying fiercely towards him.
“”
At that moment, emerald light surrounded the shield with the pattern on it.
White placed the shield in front of his body and bent down to avoid touching the sword’s handle.
Then, the fiercely flying struck the shield and scattered on the floor.
“It’s really annoying, that magic.”
“Don’t let down your guard.”
White put away his shield and rushed straight towards Ray.
Although it must have been wearing heavy armor and carrying heavy weapons, its speed was like that of a bullet.
“Ah, damn it. Okay, let’s move on to close combat, okay?”
Saying that, Ray used alchemy to gather a large amount of soil from the garden, instantly transforming it into a wide metal sword, and countered White’s sword.
visor!
Loud metallic friction sound.
The moment the two swords clashed, all the flowers in the garden shook.
But it didn’t end there, and the two swords competed for several more matches after that.
visor! visor! visor!
White’s simple yet clean sword dance and Ray’s rough yet efficient sword dance collide in the garden.
Neither of them thought about breaking the sword, which contained each other’s determination, and swung it in the master’s hand to attack the other.
“As expected, you are also skilled in swordsmanship.”
“Huh, wasn’t it you who taught me swordsmanship in the first place? “Are you just going around making excuses now?”
“really… … .”
Most of Ray’s martial arts and swordsmanship were learned from other Innocents, but the basics of swordsmanship, posture, etc. were learned from White.
Therefore, although the two may be different in terms of attack method, the method of holding the sword and other basic aspects were the same.
“Wasn’t the reason you learned the sword in the first place to protect yourself, Ray? Because of that, you even looked to me, a member of the 12th family, for help. But why has it come to this now?”
“I wasn’t the one who burned down the Garion family?”
“Even though we have all the evidence and witnesses?”
“Bring the evidence and witnesses before me right now, yes.”
“That’s not possible. “Ray, you could damage it as soon as you bring it to me, right?”
The sword dance between the two became more intense with each second that passed.
The speed of the sword becomes faster due to acceleration, and the two’s attacks become increasingly detailed.
The knights, who had no opportunity to intervene in the fight between the two, just stared at the two in fascination.
“shit! “I said no!”
“Even if you insist like that, the evidence and witnesses will not disappear. “Why don’t you confess now?”
“ha?! “I don’t want to admit to something I didn’t do?!”
“Is that so? “I’m sorry.”
After saying those words, White immediately adjusted his posture.
Then, he countered Ray’s sword with his sword and attacked his abdomen with his shield.
“Tsk!”
However, as if he had already read the number, Ray blocked the shield with his hand strengthened by .
However, White also had a similar expression as Ray and changed the position of both feet and pulled the sword inward.
If you do that… … .
“Huh?!”
After colliding with Ray, his balance falls towards White, even if just for a moment.
“Holy shit!”
Ray tried hard not to lose his balance, but White’s skilled swordsmanship did not let him go.
“”
“Hey sir!”
The sword strike strengthened by lightly cut Ray’s side.
Fortunately, before the sword struck, Ray kicked White’s hand holding the sword with his knee, so it missed. If it had hit, Ray would have been subdued without any treatment.
Ray immediately kicked White in the abdomen, widening the distance.
He then pressed down on the stab wound in his side to stop the bleeding, discarded the sword, and activated magic with his other hand.
“”
A sword of thunder cuts across the garden.
White was unable to activate , but he succeeded in blocking the attack with his shield.
However, no matter how well-made the shield was, it was difficult to block the magic, and White was pushed back about 10 steps, scraping the ground.
“That’s incredible reaction speed. “You can’t stop that.”
“It’s a prediction. Ray would have done this. “How many times do you think I’ve competed with Ray?”
“Ahaha… “It’s annoying.”
Ray said that, but his expression was a little bright.
Even though it was small, there was no way the cut on the side wouldn’t be painful.
Ray replenished his magical power with the blood that flowed from the stab wound in his side.
Recovery magic cannot be used, but its power will increase noticeably.
Ray activated once more.
More swords than before were aimed at White.
“”
, a type of that makes logic into reality through conceptual magic, literally covers the shield with a ‘protective shield that prevents any attack’.
Here, this impervious shield is not a metaphor; it blocks all attacks.
It’s such an incredible magic, and on top of that, it’s instantaneous magic.
White’s nickname ‘Shield of the Empire’ originates from this magic.
And at the same time, one of the reasons why Ray is reluctant to face White.
Clearly, Ray has an overwhelming advantage in both magic and combat, but because of that one defensive spell, Ray cannot attack White.
If White decided to engage in a war of attrition, Ray would not be able to harm him.
‘shit… If I take my time, there is nothing good for me… … .’
Ray tried to advance the , but once again, the tip of the sword fell to the ground like a raindrop and disappeared.
For Ray, if this continues for a long time, the situation will get even worse.
Recovery magic cannot be used due to , and direct magic attacks cannot penetrate his shield.
If this continues, reinforcements from the Knights will arrive and Ray will eventually be subdued… … .
‘what?’
It was only then that Ray noticed something strange.
Then he stopped attacking White and spoke to him.
“hey.”
“What is?”
“You don’t plan on catching me, do you?”
When Ray asked with a nervous yet slightly confident expression, White finally smiled at the corner of his mouth beneath his helmet.
“… what do you mean?”
“Why are you knights just watching? “I can’t even cast strengthening magic on you, but I’m just watching you like that?”
“It looks like you don’t want to fight.”
“I can’t believe you lied. “Isn’t that rare?”
“no. It’s not a lie. I guess he really doesn’t want to fight. “Who would want to fight Ray?”
“But… … .”
Ray couldn’t tell White’s intentions because of the helmet.
Ray stopped bleeding the wound and glared at White.
“What? “You weren’t trying to catch me, were you?”
“That’s right.”
“Then why are the knights standing still?”
“I guess it’s because I don’t want to fight with you.”
“you really… … !”
White quickly rushed at Ray, who was furious, once again.
Ray tried to counter his sword, but White showed skill by bending the sword’s trajectory vertically in an instant, completely striking Ray’s sword away, and stabbing Ray once more in the side to prevent Ray from using magic.
“Ugh!”
Ray groaned in pain and fell to his knees on the garden.
After all, his skills are such that it wouldn’t be strange to be called ‘Sword God’.
Dan didn’t give him that nickname for nothing.
If things continue like this, Ray will definitely lose.
The day will come when ‘the’ strongest mage will be suppressed by the shield of the empire.
“Ray. “Listen to it like this.”
“… … .”
At that moment, White, who had his sword stabbed in his side, whispered into Ray’s ear.
“The one who planned this was the head of the Blois family, Adi, and several other 12 families.”
“… okay. “I expected it.”
“But if it’s Ray-sama’s way, he will definitely subdue me and attack the Blois family like this. That’s why we put on this show.”
“Right… Are you saying those Templars are extras in the show? Are you trying to stop me from attacking the Blois family?”
“yes. Your ways are too violent. No matter how much you are, you are just a strong mage in front of the power of the 12 families. “Because they run the country.”
“… Sheesh.”
“So, the Venetian will investigate this matter ‘directly.’”
“Eh? That guy? directly?”
The reason this show was put on from the beginning was to prevent Ray from finding out the truth and directly punishing the Blois family.
His purpose was to pretend to subdue Ray and put him in prison ‘for the time being’ so that the 12 families could no longer use their power against Ray, and then investigate the Garion Mansion arson case together with the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Venetian.
For that purpose, this large-scale skit was staged.
“So please cooperate a little. Of course, I will treat you very well while you are in prison.”
“Wasn’t this the type of person who wouldn’t lie?”
“… “This time, my older brother was a little involved.”
“aha… … .”
The reason why he, who values justice and honesty more than anyone else, used this method.
It was because of White’s older brother.
Green Maia, the current head representative of the Maia family.
Why White is the only one who has to lie.
White, who had been influenced by Green since childhood, could not refuse Green’s orders or instructions.
