Chapter 63: CHAPTER 63 KNIGHT

Mereoleona is a knight, albeit not in shining armor, she fancies herself as one with a chivalrous heart. Despite that, she’s also a realistic person.

While the idea of saving a girl trapped in a tower and a cage is a knightly thing to do, she has to make sure that it is the right thing to do. Who knows? Maybe the girl in this tower is a criminal? Though young, criminals are still criminals.

There are no children privileges when it comes to prison, that is obvious enough thanks to the existence of magic. This is also the same reason why 15-year-olds are treated as adults.

The grimoire is not only a weapon but also an item of identification that signifies a person’s adulthood. That’s why no matter how ‘young’ the imprisoned girl is in this tower, the possibility of her being a criminal is still there.

Mereoleona stands idly at the bottom of the tower as she recalls Dorothy. That lass certainly is strong despite her young age, and still developing mana count.

“Wow, I never realize the Witch Queen placed quite a fearsome guard dog in here.” The mocking voice reaches Mereoleona’s ears. When she looks over, she sees a blond woman in chainmail nonchalantly approaching her.

Behind the woman, are twins— a lad and a lass. Mereoleona can easily tell, as the two share quite a lot of similarities not just in their uniformed robes but also in the way they walk, their gait, and even the invisible aura that Mereoleona rarely pays attention to.

With Mereoleona’s beastly instincts, she can tell the party of three are not to be trifled with. 'Was I found out?’ She inwardly asks herself.

‘No, they aren’t witches,’ she assumes judging by the presence of the teenage lad.

“Move out of the way.” Joan, the blond woman, imperiously commands Mereoleona.

“What are you here for?”

“Just get out of my way, while I am still being nice.”

“Are you here for the girl?”

“Hmmm… It’s quite obvious, huh? Yes, we are. We want to retrieve the item as peacefully as possible.”

At the word ‘retrieve’ and ‘item’, Mereoleona can’t help but halt her thoughts. It looks complicated enough for her when she saw the appearance of this three.

Now, it is becoming more complicated.

Mereoleona spurs her fiery mana into action. “Retrieve? Item? While it got me curious, the truth is it got me more furious instead. Who are you lot anyway? You look like missionaries or something. If you wanted to preach, let me tell you that this is not the right place.”

“Let me and brother deal with her,” Sophia asks Joan for her permission eager to do some action. Her twin, Joseph nods affirmatively that he is willing to fight too.

Joan shakes her head, rejecting the two’s wishes. “She is at least captain class. We want this mission to be done as fast as possible. The two of you are also at captain class, but I’d rather not risk it. Just support me, I’ll take the lead.”

Waving her hand with force, a sword of pure steel shows itself on Joan’s hand. “Let’s do this.”

Mereoleona subdues her excitement at the familiar magic. “Steel magic huh? Let’s see what you can do.” Flames envelop Mereoleona’s fists to elbows. And then, she rushes forward.

Joan blocks Mereoleona’s fists with the blunt of her sword, she also uses her own fist to block Mereoleona’s attacks. “Is this it? I was hoping for more.” Joan suddenly shifts her stance and holds her sword with both hands, she strikes down with heavy force.

Mereoleonca takes Joan's attack head-on by raising her arms to defend herself.

The sword and arm meet each other. Because of the impact, Mereolena was flung in a distance. But with her grit, she still manages to maintain standing on her toes. From her feet, she can see two lines of dirt stretching because of being flung.

“Ha ha ha ha…” With a slow laugh, Mereoleona smugly looks at Joan. “I know someone who fights like you, but does it better.”

“Your provocation means nothing to me,” Joan replies dully.

Suddenly, Mereolena feels the earth she was standing on stir.

From underneath, Joseph grabs her feet and drags her to the ground, submerging half of her body. Joseph strikes with his fist hardened with earth mana.

Mereoleona aptly counters with an elbow strike.

Before the two's extremities collide, Joseph’s hardened mana starts softening, becoming mud-like. From a punch, Joseph opens his palm, grabs Mereoleona’s elbow, hugs it with both arms, and then takes a deep breath. “Your flames feel lukewarm. I don’t even feel them.”

Alarm bells start ringing in Mereoleona's head.

Sophia is already upon her, wielding a scythe of pure wind.

WIND CREATION MAGIC: WIND GOD’S SCYTHE!

“I wan~n~a cut you!” Blushing in excitement, the usually reserved lady Sophia went haywire with her magic.

The scythe slithers to Mereoleona’s neck.

Then… it stops. The whooshing of wind goes up and down as a broom intervenes in the scythe’s trajectory path.

“Hey, hey, hey! Who allowed a yandere in here!? My yandere antennae are tingling!!”

The broom guy complains.
