Chapter 210
(210) The moment they find out Miri’s real ident.i.ty
Translator: Tseirp
Kannon was the first to notice the abnormality . And then Haurvatat took action almost simultaneously as well .
Kannon erected standing barriers in front of Malina while Haurvatat hugged Carol .
The next instant, countless dark swords rained down upon Malina, Haurvatat and Carol .
The dark swords pierced into Kannon’s barrier . And Haurvatat evaded the dark swords with keen reflexes while embracing Carol .
The barrier made by Kannon shattered with the sound of breaking gla.s.s the same time the dark swords ran out .
Haurvatat looked in the direction where the swords flew from .
“Who’s there!?”
She then realized the moment she shouted .
The person who was standing there .
“Miri … sama? Just why …”
Haurvatat saw Miri, Ichinojo’s younger sister .
Unlike the facial expressions she had when she was with Ichinojo, Miri had a cold-hearted expression when looking at Haurvatat and the others .
“I thought I would have been able to kill at least one . You’re a nuisance, Kannon . ”
Miri glared at Kannon .
Kannon stuck out her tongue and playfully laughed . However, her eyes showed that she was serious .
“Eheh, Miri-sama . Malina is my friend so I would like it if you don’t kill her . ”
“I see . And?”
“Er — please a.s.sign me to face another child . ”
” … Understood . Kannon, make sure Norn doesn’t interfere . ”
The black collar on Kannon’s neck sparkled after Miri said that .
At the same time, Kannon decided that there was no longer any need to hide anymore as she manifested her horn and wings .
“Kannon-san … those are — devil horns and wings?”
Carol who was in the embrace of Haurvatat saw that and commented .
“That’s right . I have said it to Malina before that I am a devil — haha and I am the faithful servant of Miri-sama . ”
Malina was not surprised by the horn and wings because she knew that Norn was a devil .
However, she was shocked to find out that she was Miri’s servant .
“Well then, Norn, let’s go . ”
Said Kannon .
“Eh!? Kannon-san!? Kyaaaaaa!”
Kannon grabbed Norn and flew far off into the distance .
Before that,
“Malina, do your best . ”
She encouraged Malina .
They could not catch up to the circ.u.mstances .
Neither Haurvatat nor Carol nor Malina understood what was happening .
Miri who was standing in front of them was Ichinojo’s younger sister and should not be their enemy . That should be the case but they could not understand why she was attacking them .
But only she was different .
“Masters, ponder about it later! She holds hostility towards all of you!”
Pionia a.s.serted and transformed her arms into rope .
“We should capture her first!”
The ropes transformed from Pionia’s arms approached Miri — but, the next moment, those ropes became round slices in an instant .
“Pionia-san, I will not let you interfere . ”
“Sheena-san . You huh?”
There was a pair of swords formed on Sheena’s arms .
“Homunculus and Automata . So this will be a match to see which is the stronger one . ”
“I have no interest in winning nor losing . I only aim to buy time so that Grandmaster recognizes me and rewards me with paid holiday . ”
Complaints started seeping out from Sheena from all the time she had to put up with Miri .
The fight between Sheena and Pionia began and their battleground slowly shifted away .
“Now then, the three of you will have to face me . Well, I had planned for that from the very beginning —”
“Pl-please wait! Why are you doing this?”
“Isn’t it obvious! Because you guys are being spoiled by Onii!”
Miri said and cast her magic .
“「a.s.sa.s.sin Marionette」”
The dark thread that extended from Miri’s body coiled around her own body .
“a.s.sa.s.sin Marionette!?”
Haurvatat raised her voice .
Malina put on her mask and asked while readying her wind bow .
“a.s.sa.s.sin Marionette … what kind of spell is it?”
“A spell to control another person with your will — it was once the specialty of Demon Lord-sama . ”
“Eh? But she used it on herself . ”
Carol asked .
“By using it on herself, she can utilize movements beyond the capabilities of her physical body — of course, that would place quite a considerable burden on her body but —”
“「Dark Sword」”
Miri chanted and this time dark swords materialized on both her hands .
Miri was not a Swordsman so she could not use sword skills . However, the power of the Dark Swords materialized by Miri using the peak of Darkness Magic surpa.s.s that of Swordsman skills .
“「Dark Slash」”
When Miri swung her sword, a visible black-stained shockwave approached Haurvatat .
Haurvatat dodged to the side while hugging Carol but as she had to protect Carol, she could not utilize her specialty of dodging by a paper-thin difference . Naturally, evading the attack with large movements left gaps for exploitation .
Miri appeared in front of Haurvatat in a blink of the eye .
Her sword came slashing down onto Haurvatat .
With the sword quickly approaching her, Haurvatat apologized to Carol .
She dropped Carol on the ground and drew her Flame Dragon Tooth and short sword to parry the dark sword .
Then, Haurvatat saw it .
Marina was aiming at Miri from behind with her wind arrow .
Marina’s act of aiming at Miri’s dead angle was cowardly but she believed that it would at least stop her movements .
The next instant, Fenrir’s enormous body slammed into Marina . Seeing her Wind Bow fly off her hands,
“Marina-san!”
Haurvatat cried out .
However, Marina was unscathed . She somehow clung to Fenrir’s body and climbed onto its back .
“I am fine, focus on the enemy before you!”
Said Marina as she clung to Fenrir who was bucking like a runaway horse .
But she would be swung off in a matter of time if it was moving so violently .
“Miri-chan, I don’t know what your aims are but tell me one thing — is master all right?”
“Yes, I will never hurt Onii . Onii sent me off with a smile when I said I would be having a girls talk . ”
“I see — I’m glad to hear that . ”
Haurvatat’s eyes dyed red when she said that .
She activated a skill .
Beast Blood — A skill that would dramatically raise her physical attack and speed in ten minutes . However, the demerit was that she would not be able to move for a minute after the ten minutes was up .
” … I will end this swiftly —”
Shadows extended from Miri’s feet just as Haurvatat was about to focus her strength .
(That’s bad!)
Carol realized that it was aimed at Carol so she used her greatly risen speed to grab her and run .
“Sorry, Haru-san . I only serve to be a burden . ”
“Do not mind it — Master and I are always thankful for Carol’s knowledge . The right person for a right place . ”
Haurvatat said as she escaped towards a white horse — Fuyun .
“Fuyun, please take care of Carol! Please run as far as possible!”
Fuyun neighed and galloped away after Carol was on him .
And then, after evading another shadow that was stretched towards her, Haurvatat approached Miri .
“You’ve become stronger, Haruva . ”
“It is all thanks to Ichinojo-sama . ”
“If you are that strong, why do you still remain as a slave for Onii?”
Miri said as she clad her body in dark armor .
When she saw that figure, Haurvatat’s heart thumped loudly .
Miri’s fighting style and her way of calling her Haruva .
More importantly, that presence she felt when they were together .
“No way … you are …”
“No matter how strong your body becomes, your heart is still weak!”
Miri said and swept at Haurvatat’s feet .
With her posture broken, Miri’s sword pierced into Haurvatat’s shoulder .
” … You are, Famiris-sama … ?”
“Yeah, I remember you very well . You wet the bed while sleeping with me and we went to apologize to your father . In reverse, your father prostrated and apologized instead . ”
“No … way …”
“If you still swear loyalty to me, commit to that loyalty and die for me, Haruwa . ”
Said Miri as she twisted the sword that was pierced into Haurvatat .
Haurvatat’s scream resounded throughout My World .
