"bite--"
A magic crystal that Hagen was holding fell to the ground.
"Snap!"
As the magic crystal shattered, the flashing white light made him vanish without a trace.
The witch Rig glanced at the remaining magic circle on the ground and said indifferently, "A portable teleportation array. The Holy Temple's foundation is truly profound."
"But the prophecy foreshadowed his survival... well, it seems he won't die today."
Rig went to the window and gazed at the battle in the distance, where the clash between the Blood Crown and the Black Crown was exceptionally intense.
"Perhaps I should give up. Just as the prophecy for companionship foretells, perhaps if I stay any longer, my only fate will be death."
That's right, she wanted to slip away!
But after looking at Alcardo sleeping soundly on the bed, she thought it over and decided to wait a little longer, at least to fulfill her promise to him.
She doesn't consider herself an evil witch; on the contrary, she's a good person who keeps her promises, and it's normal for her to have some quirks occasionally.
"Hey~ let me accompany you on your final journey!"
"Before the finale arrives..."
...
“All the Blood Knights have arrived at their positions. Should we sacrifice them to buy you time to recharge?” Kaelin suggested to Elsie via the link.
"Not for now."
Elsie distanced herself again, glancing at the broken dagger in her hand, the dagger still bearing traces of sword energy.
She glanced again at Keomi, who was standing guard ahead; both his sword and shield were damaged.
As expected, martial arts attacks are unstoppable, but their inherent strength halted Elsie's offensive.
Keomi said calmly, "I'm somewhat surprised. Your performance in martial arts is in no way inferior to your magic, or rather..."
"Is this your true strength?"
Was that sword energy you just used?
Elsie didn't deny it, but it really was time to get a new weapon.
She glanced at Kaelin, who was watching the battle from the sidelines. Kaelin also threw her longsword, which Elsie caught.
He didn't stop you.
The narrator hinted to Elsie, who had just been wary that Keomi would stop her from catching the weapon.
He should have had a chance, but he gave it up.
"It really is sword energy..." Keomi saw the white gas on Elsie's longsword again.
A white sword aura as fierce as flames!
“The second stage of sword energy,” Keomi said, squinting. “I’ve seen the third stage, but unfortunately, I couldn’t even handle the second stage.”
"?" Elsie didn't quite understand what Keomi meant by the second stage.
Her sword aura is already legendary; could there be something even higher?!

[These statistics have been constantly changing since the start of the battle! And now there's a new one: "Highly Watched"!]
【Hey! So this isn't my special ability after all!】
"It seems I lost. If you had grown a bit more, you might have won more easily." Keomi looked up at the sky.
Above the blazing sun, countless angels now point their swords at the earth.
[Misfortunes never come singly, Elsie. I let you escape long ago, though it wouldn't have mattered anyway...]
"..." Elsie sighed, marveling at how those angels were always looking for trouble, especially at this time!
Not far away, Jacoban stared at Plato, who claimed innocence, saying he had no ability to summon so many angels.
“However, this is truly a miracle!” Plato exclaimed. “The army of angels will judge the entire city.”
"Sacrifice one city to save a generation!"
“…” Yagenan glanced at Elsie, feeling regretful but having no choice but to give up.
The elders of the ancestral land have lost half of their strength. They have already committed as much combat power as possible, but they still encountered this situation. If they continue to hold on, they will only be wiped out and have no chance of recovery!
Giving up Elsie might be the best option.
"Tsk..." Yagenan frowned, wrapped a map in his sleeve dart, and shot it toward Elsie.
Elsie caught the arrow with ease. She looked at Jacoban with a hint of doubt, but Jacoban shook his head regretfully and left.
Knowing the gap in strength between himself and Elsie, he decided that rather than die with her, he would rather lead more of his people to survive.
Looks like someone's been dumped again?
"..." Elsie unfolded the paper, staring at the scribbled drawing in deep thought.
You've taken it upside down.
"oh."
Elsie circled around, glanced at it a few times, and then burned it with fire magic.
"Narrator: Remember our location on the map. It seems we haven't been abandoned."
【？】
[Wait a minute? You didn't remember?]
"I am illiterate."
Actually, I'm just too lazy to watch it; with narration, I don't want to use my brain at all!
[You burned it without me noticing?]
"Isn't it you I have?"
Thank you for your trust, but I'm not a robot! I need to take a few more glances and remember it too! What the hell am I supposed to do with just a quick look?!
"..." Elsie was lost in thought, as if she had burned her last straw.
Holy crap! Where's the Accord South? Come back quick! And give me another map!
...
Kaomi gazed at Elsie in the distance. He abandoned his attack. The angels wanted to kill the mysterious man more than Elsie!
"Did they come here because of me?" Keomi lamented that he was powerless to do anything about it.
There was no time left to kill Elsie; she had both won and lost, unless she could withstand the angels' attack according to her prophecy.
And it seems something even more terrifying is about to descend?
"Elsie!" Keomi shouted, "It seems our battle cannot end normally."
"May you live on..."
"No matter how others try to stop you, you must know that I support you."
"I'll be waiting for you in the future."
Keomi beheaded himself with his sword, ending his own fate and declaring the failure of a crown-slaying campaign.
