Evil Avalon

Chapter 96-The Maiden in the Ice

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

-- Tenm Akira's Point of View --

　A boy with a big horn on his head appeared and shot something at Narumi. I quickly intervened, but found myself trapped inside a transparent crystal.

　

　This is the first time I've seen this magic. I think it's ice, but I'm not sure because it's not ...... cold and I can still breathe. The armor I'm wearing has an air conditioning system that regulates humidity and temperature so it can withstand temperatures in the tens of degrees below zero, and it also has a function to produce oxygen, so even if I were submerged in water or completely sealed in ice, I wouldn't have a problem for an hour or so. -- No, actually, there is.

　

(Toilets ...... what to do ......)

　Our original plan was to look around the beautiful hall, eat snacks and have a nice chat with Narumi while summarizing our journey to this point. However, the battle unexpectedly turned out to be a battle due to that Ba-ka calling up a big demon, and just when I thought it was over, this is what I got. I was so surprised and nervous that I had to go to the bathroom.

　

　If I had known this was going to happen beforehand, I would have worn a heavy-duty diaper. ...... I let my guard down.

　(TL: I don't want to be disrespectful but is it really important  right now?)

　As I was pondering what to do, the new butler - her name was Kuga or something like that - was shot with a strange magic right in front of me, and zhe collapsed as if her strings had been severed. For a moment, I was surprised to see her dead, but upon closer inspection, I saw that Sshe was breathing slightly, so I guessed she was still alive. Perhaps it was a sleep spell.

　

　

　But Narumi, who misunderstood the magic, was distraught, and on the spur of the moment, he punched the boy no it was the other way around, he was punched to the wall with great force, but from this angle, you can't see ...... well. I was so surprised that even that strong Narumi couldn't avoid it, how strong is that boy?

　

　Narumi seems to be injured, but I wonder if he will be okay. I need to do something about this ice as soon as possible so I can check on him. ...... Oh!　...... huh. I can't believe that even my "monstrous strength" doesn't seem to be able to scare it away. It's not normal ice after all. It is not normal ice after all. If this continues, Narumi will be in danger and will end up as that girl Kuga.

　

　

　As I was scratching the surface of the ice, he invoked some kind of purple light and Narumi Kun entered it and disappeared. It must have been some kind of movement magic.

　

 "Just bear with me a little longer,Akira-chan.'

　

　I suddenly realized that the horned boy had come right in front of me and was talking to me in a friendly manner. He seems to know who I am, but I don't recognize him at all. It's not my relative's child ......, is it? I mean, I'm very curious about that big curly horn growing out of his side of his head. It doesn't look removable, but I wonder what it is.

　

"I'm going to teach him a lesson but I will make sure  he doesn't die . He'll never be allowed near you again, don't  worry as I'm your ...... only ally."

　(TL: Bokko refers to the horned boy or majin)

　Saying this, Bokko gently touches the ice and winks. I wonder who the sexual harasser is. Why is it that he gives me a very kind look, but he gives Narumi a murderous look?

　As for the new butler's fall, he explains with gestures that he only knocked him out because he had no choice because he was out of control. He said that he had set up a surprise to make it look like instant death magic, and when the Narumi took it seriously and became distraught, he turned the tables on him and made him pay for it.

　

　Apparently, the sexual harasser he said  was referring to Narumi. I thought it was too much to be misunderstood, even though Narumi is such a kind person.

　

　After that, he continued to talk to me about various things. He asked me to hire him as a bodyguard when I go out because he is strong, he asked me to go to school so he can go through the procedures, he asked me to be a let him become my  potential boyfriend, and many other crazy things. I don't care about those things right now, I just want him to get me out of the ice as soon as possible. I've been saying this out loud for a while now, but he doesn't seem to hear my voice at all. I can hear Bokko's voice, but how does this ice work?

　

　Right behind Bokko, who is talking to me excitedly while twisting his body and doing strange poses. I saw a figure trying to come out of the purple light. ...... It's Narumi! But there was something strange about him.

　

"I'm back and—"

　Narumi is already ready to shoot some skills, holding an eerie curved sword covered with black mist in his hand, and a dark red 《aura》 from his entire body. A spectacularly dense magical power and 《aura》 is converging in his hand. His normally mild and gentle expression was dyed with the colors of rage and murderous intent.

　

"--I damn you to death!《Agares Blade》"

　

　As soon as Bokkko turned around, his vision was filled with light, and a roar echoed through the air. Is this the same type of skill as the one that topped the great demon?

　

　

"Tch, that was shallow"

"Ugh... ......《Fly》"

"I won't let you go!"

　

　After floating softly, Bokko tries to gain distance by accelerating upward to fall. He is flying while holding his arm, but if you look closely, one can see that his right arm is missing. It seems to have been cut off by his earlier skill.

　

　In contrast, Narumi kun kicked up in the air and ran up in a zigzag. They both started flying as a matter of course, but I didn't hear that you could do that! What is about to happen now?

　

　In an attempt to shoot down the pursuing Narumi, hundreds of blue magic bullets were summoned at the same time and released without a pause. The white hall was dyed in a dazzling blue light, and magic bullets the size of a knob rained down like a shower.

　

　Narumi moves through the barrage of magic bullets, avoiding them as if he were bouncing through the air, or using his sword to repel any magic bullets that might hit him directly. In no time at all, he was within a few meters of Bokko and swung his black, blurred curved sword at him.

　

'Fuck you, you little shit!"

"No Fuck you, you Butao!"

　

　Bokko immediately raises his left arm above his head, too, and out of thin air he pulls out a huge scythe that is longer than his height and swings it. The blade glows blue-white, but it is unclear what enchantment it contains.

　

　When the reddish-black mist and shining white light intersect above, leaving afterimages, a slashing battle unfolds with blinding speed. Near the ceiling, near the wall. Immediately afterwards, the stone floor is rolled up with shockwaves, and with a yell, they slash at each other with all their might in multiple layers.

　

（What is this?)

　

　In less than a minute, there were scratches all over the walls, floor, and ceiling. I guess even such a large cathedral hall is too cramped for those two.

　The heavy impact and metallic sound was so heavy that it echoed even in the ice. From the claw marks left on the walls and ground, it can be assumed that each of those slashes had a power equal to or greater than our skills. The sound of explosion and light shimmering in between the shots, so they must be fighting with magic skills at the same time.

　

(But nonetheless  this ...... is awesome!)

　

　In the sky above, two people are flying in all directions at an amazing speed amidst the confusion of magic bullets, and slashes are being struck with a yell. The slashes are not just being struck, but there are many feints, and the magic bullets are being used as a tactical tactic to activate weapon skills. It was a battle beyond anything I had ever seen or imagined.

　

　As far as I know, adventurers are all those who strive to master their skills: swordsmen are swordwielders, axemen are axe-wielders, mages are magicians, and so on.

　

　It was only natural. The skills and equipment of the melee and magic professions are completely different, and even within the same melee profession, the position and tactics of a dagger and a two-handed axe wielder are very different. It is obvious that if you are involved in such different fields, you will end up halfway in everything. It is the same logic as the fact that no professional can play baseball and soccer at the same time. Kurosaki, the chief butler who is the most skilled in the Tenma family, has also continued to use only one weapon and has entered a realm where he can be called a master.

　

　But the battle taking place in the skies above us now is a wonderful fusion of two completely different fields: melee weapons and magic. Magic is being used to guide the weapon into spacing, or magic is being shot into the air in a flowing manner as a means of continuous attack. It's a tactic I've never seen before, but perhaps this is the ultimate in martial arts.

　

(How did they learn to fight like this?)

　

　This kind of tactic is not something that can be acquired by simply following the curriculum at an adventurer school. Nor is it innate. It is not possible to play a tactical game like this based on intuition alone. The level of tactical perfection is too high. He must have acquired a tremendous amount of combat knowledge, as well as tremendous training and combat experience. If so, where in the world did he get thiz......

　I was so fascinated by the high level of combat, but then I remembered that the killing spree started because of a misunderstanding between Narumi and Bokkko. Bokkko didn't seem to be a bad boy, and he misunderstood Narumi. I have to stop this fight somehow, but I can't do anything because I can't move and my voice can't be heard because of this ice.

　

(I mean, if I don't go to the ...... toilet soon,    

I ......)

　

　While I was in such a lonely struggle, the battlefield was changing at a dizzying pace.

　

　Bokko's right arm, which had been amputated, has somehow been restored to its original position, and he is dexterously using his right hand to continuously fire magic bullets while drawing a huge magic circle in the air with his left hand, which is holding a large sickle. As the magic circle nears completion, you can see the surrounding magic density rapidly increasing. The scale of the magic circle far exceeded the magic power of the magic circle used by the great demon. I wondered if he was planning to unleash something like that here.

　

　But before the magic circle was completed, Narumi succeeded in approaching, grabbed the big horn on Bokko's head, and slammed it against the wall of the cathedral. With that, the magic circle fizzles out.

　

'Grind it down, oh!"

"Ijide! I-dide-dee-dee-dee!"

With his head held against the wall, Narumi Kun runs vigorously along the wall. He seems to be trying to grind it down like grated radish, but Bokkko's head is surprisingly sturdy, and on the contrary, the wall and the stone pillar are getting smashed. There's no limit to how far a stone head can go!

　

　After a few dozen meters of wall-busting, Bokkko ducks and finally escapes. He brushes the dust from his head and is filled with anger.

　

"Hahahaha,...... "Aerial" and "Overdrive",...... and your disgusting behavior,...... I wondered what kind of a shit player you are. You!　You're "disaster!"　You're not only a big jerk in Dun-Ex, but you're also a jerk to my little Akira! I'll kill you!"

　

　When he says he will show no mercy, he releases his "Aura" and creates a large swell. The aura has no physical effect, but the surrounding rubble is blown away and spherical flashes of light are emanating from it.

　But still. I wonder if his entire body is made of mithril. Also, what did he mean when he said that Narumi was a jerk to me?

"Huh,...... I didn't know you were over here too,...... I was just about to kill you too."

　

He slowly held up his curved sword as he staggered. From what I saw in the fight earlier, I thought Narumi was the stronger fighter, but he was breathing hard and looked like he was exhausted.  And ...... what can I say?

　

　

(He is thin and it's as if he's a different person!)

　

　His plump limbs are slender, and his trademark magnificent drum belly is nowhere to be seen. His face has also sharpened up and he looks like a different person, but his languid eyes and face are still clearly visible. What is the meaning of this......?

　

"Uu...... uu......!"

　

　As I was trembling in the ice, the new butler, who had collapsed nearby, woke up. Although she was in a dizzy state for a while, she immediately started scurrying around with her knife at the ready when she realized that her surroundings had changed drastically due to the storm.

　

　Come to think of it, even though most of the cathedral is a pile of rubble, the area around us and the new butler are unharmed, perhaps because they were able to avoid us during the fierce battle.

　

　Narumi, who had mistakenly thought the new butler had been killed, was so surprised that his eyes were wide open and his mouth was gaping open. With such a stunned expression--

　

"How guhh!"

　

　-- he  was punched out by Bokkko.

TL Note- How's the new cover, the boy is the mc after he got thin I guess. Well either way this was the best fight till now. We will meet in the next week, Thanks for Reading .
