Part 2, Chapter 49

Lu then warned me.

“Frame Ball bombardment is coming, Daisy. There are quite a lot of them.”

His prediction was correct. Frame Balls shot like cannons from the enemy ship flew toward Ash. Since they flew in curves rather than straight lines, rotating as they went, it was difficult to hit them with my energy.

Just before Ash, who had barely dodged the successive bombardments, was about to take a direct hit from the fourth Frame Ball.

Screech-

He returned to his small form again and barely avoided it, then flew into my arms.

It was too early to feel relieved.

The enemy’s Frame Ball bombardment device was now starting to turn its muzzle toward the passenger ship.

Crash-!

Just then, a second shackle flew and embedded itself in the ship’s hull. Rien’s reinforcements began charging again along the shackle.

This time they used their heads a bit, as the masked figure leading them carried a shield. I grabbed the shield that was advancing powerfully toward me and swung it hard.

“Ugh, aaaaah!”

The man swung along with the shield collided with a Frame Ball that was flying this way and exploded right there in mid-air.

Direct hit.

But three or more Frame Balls coming at once would be overwhelming.

Like right now.

Boom-!

Frame Balls were fired consecutively from the enemy ship.

My heartbeat quickened and hot blood rushed to my head.

When I stopped breathing and concentrated, I had the illusion that the world was slowing down.

‘I’ll detonate one in mid-air, leave one alone since there’s no choice. Then would it be better to kick the remaining one with my foot?’

My leg below the knee might get torn, but from experience, it wasn’t unbearable pain and would heal quickly.

‘But Lu would be scary.’

Look at that sharp gaze piercing my back.

If I sacrificed even one finger, he’d swim across the sea back to Calepa just like this. And he’d sulk for about a year. That would be difficult.

‘It would be convenient if I could solve everything with finger swordsmanship.’

Honestly, it’s still hard to control. If I wielded too strong a power and caused a giant tsunami… I’d have to borrow Lu’s power… If I borrowed Lu’s power for something like this… my pride would be hurt.

‘The urgent one first!’

I sent out my energy and detonated the first Frame Ball. At the same time, a resounding incantation was heard from somewhere.

“Ancient Horror Fire!”

What… Fire?

I felt the heat of flames touching my skin. When I turned my head, I saw a ring of fire that had appeared in mid-air.

Fire arrows poured out randomly from within it toward the Frame Balls. Even the Frame Ball that had been skillfully dodging by changing direction eventually couldn’t overcome the numerical disadvantage and was hit, falling down.

The mage who had been leisurely watching this scene turned to look at me.

It was Yeonwang.

“I’ve been watching you continuously since boarding, Andert Pager.”

What.

‘He recognized me too?’

When I glanced at Lu with suspicious eyes, he just shrugged his shoulders lightly and whispered.

“I told you, didn’t I? It doesn’t work on people who have strong resentment or interest toward you.”

Yeonwang created another ring of fire to attack the enemy while shouting.

“Excellent recognition magic. But no one can escape my eyes. Not even you, Andert Pager!”

He has a talkative nature.

It definitely wasn’t to avoid Yeonwang’s chatter, but to deal with Rien’s followers, I held Lu and leaped toward the enemy ship.

A Frame Ball flying toward me in mid-air was hit by a fire arrow and knocked away.

“Haha. For our first time, don’t we work well together!?”

I immediately dealt with the inspector in front of me and obtained a sword. Having obtained a sword and become a swordsman, no one could stop me.

“Block him! Stop him!”

I immediately destroyed the Frame Ball launcher and sent sword energy toward the captain’s quarters.

Crash!

Yeonwang, who had somehow followed me, protected himself with a wall of fire and said.

“The day I saw the article that you had survived. I thought this.”

This guy really talks a lot.

“As expected… I knew you’d be alive.”

Lu, who had lightly ignored Yeonwang’s admiration, brushed off his collar and grumbled.

“Daisy, the hem of my dress got burned.”

“What? Hey, reduce the fire. My woman’s clothes got damaged.”

Yeonwang shook his head with a laugh.

“…To be swayed by a woman. The you I know is a wolf with backbone. Even renowned heroes can’t overcome time, I see.”

“I said reduce the fire.”

“Do troubled times call for heroes, or do heroes call for troubled times… I don’t know which is the answer yet, but I can be certain of one thing.”

He doesn’t understand what I’m saying.

“The hero called by these troubled times is me, not you.”

“Sorry, Lu. When we get down, I’ll buy you prettier clothes.”

“Hmm. A short skirt that shows the knees wouldn’t be bad either.”

While dealing with the remnants, an inspector with an excellent physique came down along the shackle connected to the ship’s hull.

Thud. Landing on the floor, she swept her long hair behind her shoulders and pointed at Yeonwang.

“You idiot! Why do you keep moving alone so dangerously? Did you forget you’re a mage, not an inspector?”

The two seemed to be members of the same party.

Yeonwang, who had been standing majestically inside the wall made of fire, let out a deep sigh.

“My life isn’t important. What’s truly important is protecting people.”

“How long will you keep looking after others like that? Now take care of yourself! I’m… I’m scared you’ll die like this!”

I shouted while watching the enemies frantically falling into the sea.

“Hey, pink-haired friend. Shoot some fire arrows or something. They’re escaping.”

“I’m sorry. But I’m originally this kind of man. A man for whom protecting people is more important than myself.”

“Yeonwang…”

“I said shoot!”

“If I die protecting the world… that too would be the world’s will. I don’t fear fate!”

“Yeonwang, you…!”

The inspector leaped into the arms of Yeonwang, who wouldn’t even listen to my complaints.

“Then I too… will die protecting you!”

“Bri…”

“Yeonwang…!”

He said he was disappointed that I was swayed by a woman. Look who’s talking.

Lu approached leisurely and handed me a sword.

“Use this for now. I picked a relatively sturdy one.”

As he said, it looked quite usable. I fastened the masterless sword to my waist and asked.

“When will you give me a new sword?”

Lu, who had been gently stroking his chin, narrowed his eyes.

“…Actually, it might be better for you to go around without a sword like now. You’re strong enough with a sword, but you can’t rely on weapons every time.”

That’s true.

“You’re still afraid of controlling your energy, aren’t you?”

What?

Afraid? Ha. Me? Of mere Demon Sword Technique Chapter 3 Finger Swordsmanship?

It was a statement that touched a man’s pride… no, a woman’s pride.

Just then, Baron Piyora standing at the passenger ship’s railing shouted toward me.

“Prince Andert! The left enemy ship has sunk! The remaining one seems almost finished too, so you can return!”

As expected of a Swordmaster. Merciless.

I returned to the passenger ship along the tattered shackle. Not long after, Pen Rota’s warships appeared in the nearby waters.

Word spread that the situation had been resolved, and several curious passengers came up to the deck and burst into cheers.

“Yeonwang! Yeonwang! Yeonwang!”

Receiving their applause and lightly reassuring them, Yeonwang’s appearance from front to back was that of a hero worthy of admiration.

Well, his personality is a bit peculiar, but it’s rare to find anyone normal among truly remarkable people anyway.

“Respected citizens of Kontaninos and the Pen Rota Empire! I have something to say to you all!”

On the deck that had suddenly become bustling, people’s gazes turned toward Yeonwang.

“Today’s events are not my achievement alone. Please give a big cheer to the soldiers who protected the passenger ship and passengers alongside me!”

“Waaaaah-!”

“And one more person!”

Yeonwang, with a serious expression, raised his fist high into the sky.

“And above all… that person who gave great help in today’s maritime battle! I would like to introduce that person whom you all know here…”

I fled to my cabin before Yeonwang could finish speaking.
