With a trembling voice, she was staring at the 『Holy Sword』 I was holding.
It is natural to be surprised that something that is strictly controlled by the Church has suddenly appeared here.
If I had had more time, I could have explained it to her, but I have to prioritize the fight right now, so I skipped a lot of things and proceeded forcefully.
「I’ll get to the details later. But, it’s definitely real!」
She looked at my face, then at the holy sword, as if to verify the authenticity of my words, and then let out a small sigh.
「Really, you’ll have to explain it to me later.」
「I know.」
It’s not just for Sophie, but for Zelma as well. There is no way to deceive her if she wants me to fight with my true power.
I’m sure that after we talk, a lot of trouble will come our way, but I’m also sure that if we don’t get through this, the future we want won’t come. If that’s the case, then all we can do is make up our minds and go for it.
If there are any obstacles, we’ll smash them all!
「Do you know how to use it?」
You don’t have to worry about that.
I know how to use the weapon the moment I create it, so there is no problem.
「Oh, the Holy Magic will make the Holy Sword more powerful, right?」
The Saint’s holy magic strengthens the Holy Sword, and the warrior slices through the monsters. Isn’t this a feature that a maiden seems to be pleased with?
It’s not that you can’t strengthen it if you can use Holy Magic, but there’s a big difference in power. There is no one more qualified than a Saint who is an expert in Holy Magic.
「So you know about it. Then I’ll get right on it.」
「If it leaves my hands, it will disappear, so can you hold it with me?」
「Okay, I’ll leave you to it.」
Sophie’s hand overlaps mine, and the magic power that is activating the Holy Magic flows, into the Holy Sword.
The blade of the sword began to glow slightly, but it was still not enough. I need to put more power into it.
While I wait, I watch the battle between Zelma and the skeleton.
Zelma and Regina are moving faster than me, but they are not able to attack. Some parts of their swords and gauntlets are turning black. I guess they are too wary of the curse to attack.
I wish I could buy some time at this point, but I don’t think that’s going to happen. The skeletons are only using their wands.
Zelma and the others seem to have the upper hand, but if they start using the cursed magic that they showed earlier, their position will quickly reverse. They would be on the defensive. What’s not happening is that they’re just being played.
Zelma seemed to understand this, and she looked impatient.
「I’m done!」
Sophie’s voice made me look at the Holy Sword. The blade of the sword was shining with a dazzling rainbow glow.
This will work! As soon as I was convinced, a skeleton looked at me.
I can’t see his expression, but I can sense that he is in a hurry.
「Turn off that terrifying light!!」
He cast the curse magic towards me but offset it with, Sophie’s『Holy Circle』.
In the meantime, Zelma and the others had made the choice to move back and keep their distance.
Sensitive to the flow of the battle, their judgment is spot on. She looks at me, laughs and moves her mouth.
I couldn’t hear her voice, but I knew that she said, 「Do it」. I guess she was going to leave everything to me.
I had intended to do so, but when Zelma said it, I felt like rebelling.
「Lars-san are you alright?」
Don’t look so worried. I’ll do my job.
I’m good at fighting these kinds of monsters.
「Are you sure you can handle the support?」
「Yes! We’ll take them down together!」
Good answer.
A Saint and a Holy Sword. I don’t think we can lose.
