62. [Divine Blade/Three Moon Sword] (2)

「Suppress the mana supply to No. 1. Then reduce his self-repair speed and pull the enemy attacks. And make his movements sluggish to make it look like he’s tired. Yes, just like that.」

There were three large and four medium-sized golems that stopped the lord’s army. Angelina, who controlled them from up in a tree, observed the battlefield and responded to the rapidly changing situation.

「When restoring, absorb the enemy’s weapons and reduce their strength. No. 2 and No. 3 threaten to attack the enemy’s artillery at the rear, and force them to allocate their personnel to guarding the ammunition. No. 4 to No. 7… ugh ugh…」

At the end of the day, Angelina is just a scholar. Military work is out of her field. She was able to toy with the enemy soldiers who were unfamiliar with golems by making suitable and precise decisions, but her fatigue was evident.

「Geli thought it would be difficult to keep them from dying, but the military is actually tough!?」

If she pushes, they pull back. If she pulls back, they start pushing. Even if she tried to cause some damage and start attacking, all of her golems’ blows were evaded perfectly. The unknown power of “military command” stood in Angelina’s way.

「With the footing so loose even the [Jump] skill is blocked… Just who the heck is issuing the command–…W-What was that?’」

The battlefield was in a stalemate, with neither side able to make a decisive move. Everyone’s focus was taken away by a pillar of earth that suddenly rose to the south.

A huge pillar of dust that far exceeds the height of the large golems would never be possible with a cannon. The battlefield temporarily fell into chaos. Only Angelina knew what lied in that direction.

「Is it time to settle the matter, Skill Lender-san?」

A bead of sweat ran down Angelina’s cheek. She didn’t think he would lose, but victory in a war is always uncertain. If something were to happen, there would be no one else but her golem to protect the village.

「Keep holding out, everyone.」

Just as Angelina focused on her hands and sent instructions to the golem, something crossed the corner of her field of vision.

「……Oh?」

◆◆◆

「[Space Jump], activate.」

「Ah, at least just heal my arm and then–」

Guran was about to say something, but I teleported from Kinui with Shizuku and Altora to the battlefield. Arrows, cannonballs, and angry roars flew around. As soon as the golems recognized us, they collapsed all at once. At the same time, I had a feeling that Angelina was saying, “Thank goodness…”

「Well done, Angelina. I’ll bring you something sweet later.」

「Marge, your instructions?」

I had only one instruction for Shizuku who was standing behind me with Altora in tow.

「Follow me.」

I started walking with Shizuku following. The enemies’ gaze were all focused on us.

「Enemy……?」

「It’s the enemy!」

「Enemy attack! It’s Marge Siu from the report!」

As if they thought they had defeated the golem, the enemies gained momentum and rushed towards us. The target I identified through his well-coordinated movements was the commander leading the vanguard.

I rested my hand on the treasured sword I was given as proof of being the leader of the werewolf tribe. When I pushed out the mouth of the sheath, the naked blade peeked out with a delightful sound. Standing behind me at the end, Altora started muttering.

「Ha, ha ha…the enemy is an army, an army… Get killed!」

I didn’t reply. I shall just present my answer as a fact. He will be reminded of how far he could have reached with his skills. It shall be burned into his eyes

As soon as I took the final step, numerous swords and spears threatened to riddle my body with holes.

「–[Divine Blade/Three Moon Sword].」

I unsheathed it. Bathed in sunlight, the naked blade shone. At the same time, the enemies’ numerous blades cut through the space as if passing right through me. All of them were then cut off in half and fell to the ground with a clanging sound.

「Our w-weapons!?」

「What!? It looked like it slipped right through!?」

It did not slip through me. Iron blades cannot pass through the human body.

「I simply dodged them. That’s all.」

After confirming the first effect, I raised my treasured sword to the sky. 　

There are two more effects of [Divine Blade/Three Moon Sword]. If this is useful, [Skill Lender] will become even more powerful.

「–Come.」

I called. In response, silvery white lights filled the sky. They shone like stars, but each one took the shape of a sword.

Blades of light filled the sky.
