If he saw someone in a place where he could kill them with a single leap, he would slash them down, and if he could see them but they were far away, he would kill them with magic. It was funny to see people screaming and running away when they saw Rene.
Since becoming in this body, Rene has been able to understand the 'emotions' of the people around him. At first, it was depressing to hear the noise in her consciousness, but once she got used to it, she could sense the fear and desperation of the people around her as if she were tuning the frequency of a radio.
With this power, I could tell which buildings people were hiding in. I cast a random spell and brought it down. Immediately the signs of life disappeared.
--I was able to test my sword and magic to a certain extent. I was able to fight a guy who looked pretty strong.
...... Well, that's a cheat. Strong.
It looks like there's no need for a cooling off period, Rene thinks.
Incredible power filled Renai.
Now he's in a body like Dullahan's. He had already been decapitated, so he did this somehow.
The first thing I can use is the cursed red blade I created from my own blood. Although it is wielded in the hand, it is actually a magic attack, and it can cut through armor that is not resistant to magic like warmed butter. It's a bit of a first-time killer.
Then there is Dullahan's signature death curse. It seems to ...... gradually weaken the opponent and cause death, but I don't use it now because I can kill without using such a troublesome and time-consuming technique.
And then there's Rene's own magic. I had the feeling that the power of this magic was quite low. Dullahan is a physical demon that fights mainly with swords, and uses magic only as an aid, even for higher level species, so there may be a negative compensation.
--You know all about magic and undead as if you knew them all along. This is a big help.
I feel like I've had a good run at combat.
Rene wonders what to do now.
Fortunately, this is the royal capital of Ciel-Teira. She thought about wiping out the town and then the castle, but it's simply too big and crowded for that.
If I could start a big fire, I wouldn't have much trouble, but the streets of King's Landing are stone, stone, stone.
--Even if it's a hassle, I'll just have to destroy them all.
So far this battle has been an experiment to see what I'm capable of.
It's time to enjoy the slaughter.
Rene searches the area for signs of his prey. Rene's senses were caught by a strange group.
There was an unconcealed fighting and killing spirit. And a feeling of contempt. It was a feeling so strong that it made Rene curious.
A hint of magic. A group of them. They were approaching Rene without hesitation.
"The Order?
Earlier, he had fought with the Guards, ...... the Earth's equivalent of the police, but it was obvious that they were stronger than that.
If that's the case, the only thing I can think of here is the Knights.
The Kingdom of Ciel-Teirah is a form of government in which lords rule over territories under a king.
Militarily speaking, knights are the main lords of large and small, and the lords divide their territories among their subordinate knights, each of whom organizes a small army of foot soldiers who are half farmers and half soldiers.
However, there is another kind of army that reports directly to the king. They are the strongest force in Ciel-Teira, receiving support from the royal family and training relentlessly. In this country, the word "Order" simply refers to this.
The Order is the pride of Ciel-Teira, and a hero to all the people. It was the same for Rene.
I'm sure you've heard of it, but I've never heard of it.
The words of the evil god refrained in my head.
Knights. Can you fight ......?
--If you want to kill them all, it's inevitable that you'll run into the Knights. ......
While you're wondering what to do, the group is approaching.
A group of armored men marching in an orderly fashion through the half-ruined city.
Pushing up against them is the national flag ......, a large shield emblem surrounded by thorns and white roses.
The group, numbering in the dozens at a glance, formed a dense formation when they saw Rene.
There is a mass of knights pointing their shields in all directions like turtles, and ...... one who is out of it.
--I don't know what it is, but I'm going to attack it first while it's dense.
I'm not sure what it is, but I'll take the first strike while it's crowded. I'm not sure what to do.
...... "Turbo Explode".
A small fireball was created in Rene's hand. He threw it into the knight's pool.
I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not.
A blinding flash. A roar echoed through the snowy sky.
Flames erupted, and the blast sent Rene's cloak reeling. Surrounding buildings were agitated and collapsed into the street on the other side.
A cloud of dust surrounded the area, obscuring his vision. But soon the wind picks up and clears it. It's not Rene's magic. So it was a knight.
As promised on Earth, there were knights still alive and well.
The formation with shields in all directions was also intact. The shields are just a little scorched.
--...... seriously? What did you just do and how did you do it?
He's not just holding a shield. Did it have a sorcerer inside to protect it and defend it with magic? Or is there some kind of trick to the shield? ......
I see. It seems that there is no power strong enough to break this.
The only knight who was not part of the shield formation muttered.
I'm not sure what to make of this, but I'm sure it's a good idea.
It was a knight in silvery white armor with delicate ornamentation. The full-face helmet obscures his true face, but it is clearly a gorgeous piece of equipment. The armor itself may have a high magic resistance.
The knight is stomping through the snow towards Rene. He pulls out the long sword at his waist.
--That's ......!
The shock he received when he saw the sword was that of a simple girl, Rene, who had lived ten years in Ciel-Teira.
I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not.
The hidden treasure of Ciel-Teira, enshrined in many poems. The beautiful magic sword Teira Ayuru, said to have great power. The only one who can wield it is the most powerful knight in the land.
The only one who can wield it is .......
The first Knight Commander, Lawrence Reinhardt, ......!
"Huh. I'm not sure I'm going to be able to do that.
Lawrence said as if he were spitting.
The most powerful knight of Ciel-Teira, praised for his power and bravery. The hero of the Protectorate. He is a man that no child should be without admiration for. In fact, for Rene, too, he was a hero to be proud of as one of the people, even though he was from a distant world.
However, ...... Rene realized something.
Why did the king and his brother easily pull off a coup against the strongest warrior in the world, Lawrence?
Why is he still here after the coup, when he should be fighting for the king?
Why hasn't Lawrence taken Teila Ayul, the national treasure?
The knights who came to capture Rene and his mother. On the left breast of the armor they wore, there was a coat of arms showing their affiliation.
I've never had any knowledge of heraldry, but ...... there's no mistaking it when you see it in person. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
I'm not sure what to make of that. The daughter born is a silver-haired, silver-eyed abomination ...... who is now a cursed undead.
It was a voice of deep disdain, like frozen filth.
It's not that I don't like it.
"He'll send you back to hell. You will die a second death in the mud, as befits a dog's child.
"...... will not allow it.
Renai's heart stopped beating and flared up in a black flame of hatred.
What a hero. What a hero. What a knight-errant.
I won't allow it, I won't allow it, I won't allow it!
With the red blade at the ready, Rene lunged forward.
The cursed red blade and Teyla Ayulu struck each other.
There was a strange sound, different from that of ordinary swords, as if a coin were popping.
--I can't cut ......!
In the past, the cursed red blade has easily cut through any sword or armor.
But as expected of the supreme sword of the kingdom. I'm not sure if you've heard of it or not.
The two swords clashed with each other, and red sparks flew just barely.
Rene is looking up at him because of the height difference, but they are almost evenly matched in strength. But Rene is still one-handed.
So much for wolfing around.
"Is that so?
What?
Rene, who had been holding his head in one hand all this time, placed it on top of the torn neck.
Somehow they fit together and stick. It seems to be as strong as a flyer held to the refrigerator by a magnet. One hit would have blown it off, but this left his left hand free.
Rene puts that hand on Lawrence's armor.
The palm of his hand felt as if it was burning, but he could only withstand it for a moment.
"Shock.
There was a bang that sounded like heavy metal hitting metal.
Blown away, Lawrence stepped on a tatara and barely managed to stay on his feet. He coughed once, watery.
"You ......
The damage was done, Rene thought, but he could feel the magic flowing into Lawrence.
It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.
--This is ...... recovery magic!
Now he knew what the strange formation was after.
The First Order chose to simply put their strongest forces at their best in order to defeat Rene, who was no match for any ordinary warrior.
This is what they did. Lawrence would fight alone, the sorcerer would assist him, and the other knights would protect the sorcerer with their shields.
I don't think he is using such a bizarre strategy in his daily battle. He must have analyzed Rene's ability in a short time and figured out a way to defeat it effectively with minimal sacrifice.
As it is, no matter how much damage he does to Lawrence, he will be able to recover.
So, first things first: ......!
No matter how hard we fortify our anti-magic defenses, they won't be as strong as Teila Ayul's.
The first step is to cut down the Turtle Formation with the red blade.
He tried to cut it down.
But a sharp blow blocked Rene's move.
Ha!
A flash of blue and silver. It's Lawrence's taylormade. He ducked just in time and ripped his side open.
You'll need to have a good idea of what you're doing. The damage was caused by the holy energy of sacred magic in the sword.
Where are you going? ...... Am I really that boring to deal with?
I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea.
In the event you're not sure what you're looking for, you'll be able to find out more about it here. You could say it was a moment.
It wasn't that he was ignoring Lawrence, but that he was planning to attack the camp while keeping Lawrence in mind. But Lawrence still blamed him for the gap.
--Not only is his equipment great, but he's a good swordsman! It's no wonder that ...... is the most powerful country in the world.
You'll have to deal with that while dealing with this guy!
I'm not sure how much damage I can do to Lawrence until his magic runs out, but I'm not sure how much damage I can do to him.
Lawrence, now fully recovered, slashes at Rene. His swordsmanship was nimble enough to defy his heavy armor, but the response was strong.
He struck several times, and then, when he was just slightly out of position, came the killing blow.
"Ah!
You'll be able to find a lot more than just a few things to do. He held his head with one hand and did a back somersault to get away. The landing point was near the "turtle line".
The moment she landed, Rene slashed the Turtle Formation a few times.
"Geez!
It's not the same as a normal shield, but the shield that Rene slashed was cut in half, and the knight who was holding it was also cut in half.
It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to do with your time.
--Okay, I can go ......!
It seems that the magic was not enough, but the red blade's attack is still working.
It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.
It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
--This is ...... How many more people do I have to slay to get my attack to reach the inside!
Lawrence won't go down until we get rid of the sorcerer that's guarding him.
There's plenty of auxiliary and recovery magic flying around.
No, not only that, if you can afford it ......
"Holy Arrow!
There was a burst of light from a gap in the shield.
It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for and how to get it.
"Gosh, ......!
This is the first time I've ever seen such a thing.
The white skin is speckled with ugly scorch marks.
The damage is not that bad.
But...
Aah!
The impact slowed his movements. That was more than enough of an opening for Lawrence.
The taylormade a deep cut from his right shoulder to his left side.
--It's not good, it's pretty damaging. ......!
Wounds that don't bleed. The body still moves. I'm not sure what to make of it.
But even so, a red alert lights up in a corner of my consciousness. This blow is severe.
Lawrence is closing in. As if to show Rene the radiance of Teyla Ayulu.
As if to show what lies within the blue and silver blade.
To Rene, it was a light of spiteful deceit.
"Our unity is the shield that protects our people. Know that you cannot break it!
"Forgive me, ............!
Rene aimed a blow.
A warrior's instincts as a Dullahan tell him that endurance fighting is no longer possible.
The armor gap, Lawrence's ...... neck!
Oh, .......
A brief moment of defense. With no time to think, Rene reacted almost instinctively.
As a result, Rene's red blade did not reach Lawrence, and Lawrence's taylormade pierced Rene's chest.
His thoughts caught up with him.
Immediately after the cut, Rene aimed for Lawrence's neck as he slid the blade in. He thought he could go. But it was an invitation or a feint.
Just as Rene came for it, Lawrence struck the final blow, quicker than Rene.
The red blade disappeared with a sound like the breaking of a pane of glass, and scattered in the wind.
"Ahhhhhh!
Renai's body collapsed.
Renai's body crumbled. Her fingertips and toes cracked and crumbled, disintegrating into bleached white ashes.
A mournful scream echoed. Their voices echoed forever in the freezing wind on the main street.
