Chapter 46
Thump thump.
When I turned around at the frightening sound, two giant rabbit magical beasts were leaping high and chasing after us.
Once again, the rabbit magical beasts were chasing after me specifically.
Why are they doing this to me!
Thump thump thump.
As the rabbit’s footsteps grew closer, I felt Kaisis’s heart pounding violently.
Looking at Kaisis’s hands gripping the reins, black scales were gradually rising up.
Moreover, his nails were becoming sharper, slowly piercing through the glove on his left hand.
It seemed he was trying to transform into a dragon.
Certainly, if Kaisis transformed into a dragon, he would be able to deal with those magical beasts.
But no one could guarantee what would happen if he was revealed to be an evil dragon.
I reached out and placed my hand over Kaisis’s right hand.
Then Kaisis stared at me intently.
“Rene, I’ll handle this guy. You run away quickly!”
At that moment, Louis Sauver suddenly gripped the horse’s reins tightly and wedged himself between me and the rabbit magical beasts.
“Louis Sauver!”
I couldn’t leave Louis Sauver behind. I had to save him somehow.
But how? All I knew was basic magic.
“W-wait a moment. Louis Sauver is…”
I grabbed the horse’s reins to tell him to stop, but Kaisis instead kicked the horse’s flanks and galloped even faster.
Grrrr-.
One rabbit magical beast’s fangs tried to attack Louis Sauver.
Louis Sauver didn’t seem afraid at all as he vigorously swung his sword.
Clang-!
When the fangs were split, the rabbit hesitated for a moment.
But the relief was brief, as two rabbit magical beasts with even sharper gazes simultaneously attacked Louis Sauver.
Even if he was a Sword Master, could Louis Sauver block that attack?
Louis Sauver seemed to think he couldn’t block this attack either, as he closed his eyes and appeared ready to accept the attack.
I couldn’t lose Louis Sauver like this.
Louis Sauver, you haven’t even told me what you’ve been up to yet.
Are you trying to disappear again without telling me?
When the bandits appeared, when the Crown Prince pointed his sword, and now too.
Louis Sauver always protected me, but I had done nothing for him.
Come to think of it, I don’t think I even properly thanked him.
At that moment.
“…!”
Louis Sauver removed the ring from his finger and threw it toward the rabbit magical beast’s eyes.
That ring is the one the Duke gave him earlier, isn’t it?
When the ring touched the two rabbits, white smoke rose up and blocked our vision.
Good job, Louis Sauver! Now if you quickly ride your horse toward us…!
“Kueoooong-!”
However, the enraged rabbits grew even larger and tried to bring down their giant feet on Louis Sauver before he could escape.
Please, don’t. Please!
“Stop it!”
At that moment, a golden magic circle spread beneath my feet and my magical power was sucked out.
Peoooong-!
The light that spread from my hands struck the rabbits in an instant.
One rabbit disappeared immediately, and the other rabbit roared ‘Kueoong-!’ before returning to its original form.
The surroundings were instantly enveloped in silence.
What on earth just happened?
While I was bewildered, not only Louis Sauver but also the Crown Prince looked at me with confused faces.
“Divine magic…?”
It was Kaisis’s voice that broke the silence.
Huh? What kind of magic?
“But there were two of them, where did the other one go?”
When Louis Sauver looked around and asked, Kaisis answered.
“You only need to deal with the main body. Then the main body returns to its original form, and the magical beasts that multiplied from that main body naturally disappear.”
So that rabbit is the main body of the rabbit magical beast?
I was watching warily in case it might transform again somehow, when the rabbit that had returned to its original form twitched its nose and spat something out of its mouth.
Then it hopped away into the bushes.
I carefully dismounted from the horse and approached to check what the rabbit had spat out.
It was a blue flower with a transparent light shimmering around it.
What on earth is this?
Just as I took the flower in my hand.
“Kueoong-!”
A bear magical beast that had been hiding rushed toward us.
I quickly put the flower in my riding outfit pocket and looked at the bear.
Judging by the bear’s eye color and strange fur, this was definitely a magical beast too.
The bear’s gaze was fixed on one spot.
It was Kaisis.
“Kai!”
When I immediately blocked the bear magical beast’s path, the beast’s claws barely grazed past my back.
“Ugh…!”
A sharp pain shot up from my back.
“Rene!”
“Master!”
“Lady Sauver!”
My back instantly became burning hot.
Even in the midst of this, Louis Sauver’s angry shouting voice rang in my ears.
“That damn bastard…!”
Technically it was a bear cub, but anyway.
“Master, are you okay? Stay conscious.”
As my strength gradually faded, Kaisis, who had rushed toward me urgently, lifted me up.
Then as Kaisis put me on the horse, Louis Sauver raised his sword toward the bear magical beast.
“No! If you attack with a sword, it will multiply again!”
“Then what do we do!”
I tried to recall the magic I had just used.
My magical power had been drained out in chunks instantaneously.
I concentrated on that sensation and spread my palm toward the bear.
Please work!
“Kueoooong-!”
At that moment, the bear leaped toward us.
It was the moment Kaisis urgently blocked my path.
Once again, a golden magic circle spread out.
I hurriedly shot light toward the bear, and the bear hit by the light wasn’t the main body, as it scattered into golden particles of light.
“It, it worked…”
Louis Sauver, who immediately ran to me as I was gasping and catching my breath, looked up to examine my back.
“Damn it!”
Louis Sauver began cursing after seeing the wound on my back.
Even so, when explaining the situation to me, he spoke in a gentle voice as if worried I might be startled.
“Rene, the wound is deeper than I thought. I think we need to return right away.”
“Let’s go to the Imperial Palace. You’ll be able to receive treatment immediately there.”
At the Crown Prince’s words, Kaisis nodded and swiftly mounted his horse, gripping the reins.
“Master, don’t worry. I will never lose you.”
Then he rode the horse quickly.
On the swaying horse, my consciousness gradually became hazy.
Just as my strength was gradually fading, screams could be heard from not far away.
“Kai, wait a moment.”
“There’s no time to stop.”
“It seems magical beasts have appeared over there too.”
Among the heart-wrenching screams of people, the cries of magical beasts were mixed in.
“Let’s go over there, Kai.”
“I can’t do that. If we don’t treat you right now…”
“If it’s not me, the magical beasts can’t be dealt with. If we leave the magical beasts as they are, we’ll be in danger again someday.”
Kaisis hesitated.
“Please, Kai.”
At my plea, Kaisis finally sighed and turned the reins.
“Lady Sauver, where are you going! The Imperial Palace is that way!”
“Rene!”
Leaving behind the voices of the Crown Prince and Louis Sauver, I headed toward where the screams were coming from, dragging my aching body.
“Th-the wolves have become three, Your Grace!”
As we rode toward them, I could see the Duke and other nobles confronting wolf magical beasts.
There were three magical beasts in total, and just like when confronting the rabbit magical beast earlier, it seemed the magical beasts had multiplied because they were cut with swords.
The Duke saw me and Kaisis approaching on horseback and shouted loudly.
“It’s dangerous here! Don’t come!”
Nevertheless, we didn’t retreat and rode toward the magical beasts.
Honestly, I wasn’t confident.
Could I really defeat all of those?
Perhaps sensing my hesitation, Louis Sauver, who had approached beside us, drew his sword while on horseback.
“I’ll provide cover.”
“I’ll help too, Master.”
Kaisis also drew his sword and stood in front of me.
The Crown Prince had disappeared at some point.
Right, when there are people who want to protect me like this, why not give it a try?
I closed my eyes and concentrated on drawing up what little magical power I had left.
Meanwhile, Kaisis mounted his horse and headed toward the Duke along with Louis Sauver.
“Your Grace the Duke.”
“Lady Lockwood?”
“You mustn’t cut those. They multiply.”
The Duke looked back at Louis Sauver with a surprised expression.
Kaisis continued speaking.
“Fight without cutting them as much as possible. My master will handle dealing with the magical beasts.”
