Chapter 493: Regina’s Decision

The expressions of Bloed and the others became solemn. They could feel several powerful auras approaching, including the auras of four demigods.

They would reach them in just a few seconds.

"Teacher, I'll call you later." He told to Headmistress Wave.

[–Wait a moment, what happened?]

"I'll explain it to you later," Bloed said and cut off the communication.

He then looked at Regina.

"Can you take care of them?"

"I can." Regina nodded calmly. "But you should hide, master. I'm not one hundred percent confident about protecting you in the process."

"Okay."

Bloed then brought Leto and the girls to the ground and activated a tool that granted them optical camouflage.

This way, the demigods would have trouble finding them unless they searched carefully.

Just after that, the first demigod appeared. A man with a sword on his waist.

He frowned when he saw Regina floating in the air and stopped in front of her.

The other three demigods arrived a few seconds later. Surrounding Regina from all directions.

Judging from their clothes, they belonged to four different churches.

"Who are you?" The first demigods asked, but Regina ignored him. She just looked at the people surrounding her with an expressionless look.

"I asked who are you." The demigod asked again with a stern tone. "Is the Heart of the Forest in your hands?"

"What if it is?" Regina finally spoke.

"Then you should leave it behind. That is not something that someone like you can have."

"Is it so?" Regina's lips curved up slightly. "Does the rest of you think the same?" She asked the other three demigods.

They did not reply, but the solemn expressions on their faces were enough of an answer.

Regina nodded as her face returned to her previous expressionless look. At the same time, an energy blade appeared on her right hand.

The expressions of the demigods tightened.

"… It looks like you plan to fight us. How foolish."

"Cut the crap. Your existence is interfering with my master's plan. That is enough reason to kill you."

"Arrogant!" The first demigod shouted, then, he drew his sword.

In the instant he drew his sword, it shot forward, slashing towards Regina at a speed imperceptible to the real eye.

It was a well-known sword art known as Quickdraw, but in the hands of this demigod, this sword art was brought to a whole new level.

It was over ten times faster than the speed of sound!

But–

*Clang!*

With an indifferent expression, Regina blocked it with her energy blade.

The eyes of the demigod opened wide, but at that moment, Regina spun her body.

A second energy blade appeared on her left hand. It cut towards the demigod at an extreme speed, forcing him to retreat to avoid it.

But suddenly, he realized that the sword had become much larger. It was going to cut him into two!

'This…!'

The demigod changed his expression and hurriedly used his sword to block the attack, however, the strength behind the attack flung him several meters away.

Regina was about to chase after him, but at that moment, a magic circle appeared above her head.

Her body immediately became heavier, and the air around her seemed to become solid, halting her movements.

Looking to her right, she saw a female demigod staring at her with a solemn expression.

Regina snorted. She then released a storm of energy that shattered the magic circle.

Under the surprised eyes of the mage, she next used her energy blades to break the restrictions around her before charging toward the mage.

But at that moment, another demigod appeared in her path, using a shield to block her attack.

At the same time, the fourth demigod appeared behind her, aiming a lance at her nape.

Regina narrowed her eyes, but she did not stop.

"Out of my way!" She shouted, using her energy blades to clash against the shield.

*Bam!*

The power behind her attack was so strong that the shield-holding demigod was sent flying several meters away.

At the same time, a barrier of energy appeared behind her, blocking the spear.

Regina then continued towards the mage fearlessly.

The mage's eyes shrank, but she did not panic. With a gesture, several barriers appeared right in front of her, blocking Regina's way.

But to her surprise, the barriers were cut by the energy blades like they were paper.

Even so, it gave her enough time to cast a new spell. Before Regina's blades could reach her, her figure disappeared, appearing one hundred meters away.

Teleportation.

Regina frowned. She wanted to chase after her, but the first demigod had already recovered and was coming towards her again together with the shield-holding demigod and the demigod using a lance.

"Surrender! You are not our match!" The first demigod stated coldly.

Regina's mouth curved up with a playful smile.

"Really?"

And energy erupted out of her body.

Countless energy weapons appeared around her, making the eyes of the four demigods become wide.

Then, the weapons flew towards them.

The demigods hurriedly defended, but using that opportunity, Regina made her next move.

The energy coming from her turned into a huge net that spread one kilometer around her.

Then, the energy net tightened, suppressing the four demigods simultaneously.

The demigods became pale. They struggled and tried to escape from the net, but it was impossible without at least a couple of seconds.

Even when the mage tried to teleport, the net interfered with her spell, making it useless.

Regina grinned. Like an angel of punishment, she held her energy blades and walked toward them.

"Any last words?" She asked.

"Who are you?" The demigod holding the shield asked.

"You don't need to know. Now die." Regina replied and swung her blades with an indifferent expression.

But suddenly, Bloed's voice sounded in her mind.

[Regina, don't kill them.]

Regina frowned, but she accepted her master's order and adjusted the power behind her attack, injuring them greatly but without killing them.

The three demigods fell to the ground unconscious.

Just then, Regina looked towards the horizon.

"… More demigods." She muttered.

Bloed's heavy voice sounded in her mind. [How many?]

"Three. But there are more behind them."

Bloed fell silent.

His worst fear had become reality. Now that their location was revealed, the demigods of the churches were flocking toward them.

At this rate, it would be impossible to escape.

But at that moment, Regina spoke.

"Master, my mission is to protect you, and to support you in whatever you want to do."

[Huh? Regina, do you have a plan?]

The Valkyrie did not reply. Instead, she extended her hand towards Leto, making it float towards her with Bloed and the others on it.

"Leto, turn into a sphere."

"Regina, wait!"

Bloed's expression changed, but Regina had made up her mind.

After ordering Leto to turn into a sphere with Bloed and the others inside, she put her energy on it before shooting it towards the horizon.

"Go first, master. I will distract them."

[Regina!]

"Don't worry, I don't plan to die. Be careful master. And if you are in danger, tell me. I will fly towards you immediately."

Bloed did not reply immediately.

Only a couple of seconds later, a sigh sounder in her mind.

[Be careful, okay?]

"I know."

[Also, try not to kill anyone. As long as you don't kill anyone, there will be space to negotiate.]

"Understood, master."

Regina nodded. She then looked towards the demigods that had appeared in her sight.

Without any hesitation, she flew away in a different direction than Bloed and the others, and the demigods chased after her.
