Chapter 6-Liliana vs Demon Beast

(TL:By Rafael,valhallatls.blogspot.com)

"Keane-san, focus on your defensive magic!　I'll be on the front line!"(Liliana)

"Princess Liliana? What are yo—!"(Keane)

"Just do what you can!"(Liliana)

"............!"(Keane)

　Liliana, facing the approaching magical beast, holds a knife in her hand, which she pulled out from somewhere.

　When she saw Keane begin to concentrate on defensive magic, she too cast some kind of magic. Then, the next moment, Liliana's figure scrapes out of sight.

　Keane couldn't believe his eyes to see what was happening, but he soon realized the princess's plan.

"I see...body enhancement magic ......!"(Keane)

　Liliana had buffed her own body.

　There are a variety of body enhancement magic, ranging from simple to powerful ones that can have repercussions later on. Perhaps the one she used must have been the simplest.

　However, even though he knew this, he was still surprised.

'...... really, it's a mass of talent.'(Keane)

　Even with such simple magic, the effect was dramatically increased according to the amount of Liliana's latent magic power. Even if they were facing an opponent that she would not be able to match if she fought normally.

　The fact is, Liliana's magic is so effective that the difference seems insignificant to her now.

　As proof of this, she slices through the bodies of the black beasts with a single knife. Watching them disappear in a haze, Keane gulped.

　The girl is an extraordinary being, after all.

"Kuku, kuku, kuku ......! You're a funny girl!"(Necromancer)

"Thank you very much though your humor just in really bad taste."(Liliana)

　But her expression did not clear up.

　Keane looked at his adversary, who was smiling pleasantly, and at the princess, before realizing the cause of the problem.

"Oh, is that ...... a human being!"(Keane)

　The magical beast vanished, and out of the black haze emerged a human corpse.

　And it's hard to tell how long it's been dead. It was so rotten everywhere. There was a distinctly strange smell in the air, and Keane's brow furrowed in discomfort.

　However, Liliana calmly asked the man,

"Who do you work for?"(Liliana)

　The man responded with a small smile.

"No, you're not far off the mark."(Necromancer)

".................."(Liliana)

　She fell silent.

　Keane could not understand their conversation and could only swallow his spit. In the middle of the silence, he suddenly looked at Escalite. And then--.

"Escalite ......?"(Keane)

'Yes?. .......'(Escalite)

"No, it's  just that you looked very grim. ......"(Keane)

　Anger, perhaps.

　Or perhaps indignation would have been a better word.

　Escalite was staring at the man, but with her eyes fixed on something else. It seemed to Keane that way, and he felt sick with endless questions.

　But the man didn't even give Keane time to think about it.

"......Well, now. Now let's have them dance again."(Necromancer)

"Kuku......"(??)

　At the same time as the man's words.

　What was born was still a black haze.

　The corpses were enveloped in it and rose up like shadows. Gradually, they took shape and became magical beasts, just as before.

　However, there were apparently more of them than before.

"Where did you procure so much corpses from, ......?"(Liliana)

"What? They were bandits' lives anyway, so they were cheap."(Necromancer)

"............!"(Keane)

　Liliana's words made her opponent easily reveal the seed.

　Keane was about to say something to that outlandish way of doing things, but thought better of it.

"Let's play some more! Until he is satisfied!"(Necromancer)

　Just as the man - necromancer - had said.

　The black beasts leapt at Liliana in a single bound.

TL Note- So who is the 'he' here, Cleo? Odo? or someone else. I am having my exams so no chapter on 20 and 22 , rest of the days schedule will remain unchanged.
