The Fight
Saint Sophia was wearing her usual monastic clothes. But her face was pale with a tinge of blue and her jade-colored eyes were wide open. She was glaring sharply at Arte and others, showing utmost rage.
"I don't know Arte is this stupid."
But her words didn't seem to reach Sage Arte's ears. Arte’s eyes glimmered and she had a bright expression.
"Saint-sama! I'm glad to see you again!"
"Honestly, I'd like to say I'm glad too because Arte-san loves me this much. But if you hurt not only Laylen Remilia but also Solon-kun, I won't forgive you, Arte."
At the same time, Saint Sophia grabbed her wand and jumped forward.
Sophia who pointed her wand at Arte, chanted the church’s attack magic, "Lord, You are my shield and my sword. Please lend me Your power to fight the sinners!"
Trying to stop her enchantments, Carly the dual-swordsman, jumped out and swung her sword, aiming for Sophia's wand.
But Carly's aim was off. Her two swords stopped in midair.
Because I stood in front of Sophia and blocked Carly's attack with the treasure sword Tetracorde.
On the other hand, the spell Sophia chanted became a large whirlpool of white light, pouring down from the sky towards Arte. Judging that Arte couldn't fight it alone, her twin sister Flora the astrologer tried to counter the attack.
Sage Arte managed to stand, but Flora couldn't endure the attack and was blown away. Because Flora had blocked the attack, she didn't seem to be injured too seriously. She probably fainted because she was blown away towards the fence at the back of the mansion.
In the midst of it, I shouted to Sophia, "Sophia! It will be too late if you don't treat Laylen Remilia first!"
"I know... I know, but Solon-kun will be killed if I use recovery magic now,” Sophia muttered. Sophia was a magician with a great power, but it didn't mean she didn't have any weaknesses. Magic took time to be chanted.
Laylen Remilia was seriously injured and even if it were the power of the saint, it would take some time to heal her wounds. Furthermore, the saint wouldn't be able to chant other magic while practicing recovery magic.
And with Sophia’s presence here, Arte and the others wouldn't hesitate to start the fight. If I fought against multiple executives alone, I would definitely be killed.
At that time, the enemy, the dual-swordsman Carly who had been silent the whole time, opened her mouth.
"While the Saint is healing Laylen Remilia, we will guarantee the safety of the swordsman Solon."
Carly stared at me. The mechanic Laylen Remilia was an important force for the knight order and they never intended to kill her. In other words, the other side would also be troubled if Laylen Remilia didn't get treated.
Sage Arte agreed with Carly's words as if the situation was inevitable. For the time being, we could trust them.
Sophia rushed to Laylen Remilia and hit her wand lightly on Laylen’s injured feet. Then she chanted the magic of the church.
"Our Lord, please give mercy to this injured. We are all sinners carrying the cross. Please heal her and let her walk in a righteous path."
The space became distorted due to too much magic power. As expected of Saint Sophia, her recovery magic was very different from mine. After about two minutes, Sophia's recovery magic was completed.
At the very least, they didn't intend to kill Laylen Remilia. However, recovery magic couldn't cure all injuries, so she should be treated with medicine. And it didn't seem like Laylen Remilia would recover immediately.
Now, one of the enemies, Flora the astrologer, had already dropped out of the battle. The rest are Sage Arte, the dual-swordsman Carly, and several other female members. It seemed that the female members were quite the talented people, so it would be a problem if we were surrounded by them.
Saint Sophia and I stood next to each other, holding our respective weapons and taking our stance. This was a decisive fight.
Well, now, what should we do?
It would be nice if our side also had many allies. At that moment, a man stood up next to me.
"Now, I'm sorry for the inconvenience, Solon-dono."
The voice was Notora, the summoner who had fallen to the ground because of Arte's attacks. Our third ally had revived. I spoke with a bright voice, "Notora! Are injured?"
"It’s nothing big. Thanks to Sophia-sama’s attack, I was able to regain my consciousness."
Notora smiled, his eyes behind the glasses shined brilliantly.
"I fell down because of my blunder, but now I’ve recovered… Come, come out from the earth, Demons!" The summoner Notora screamed, swinging his wand.
TN: I was expecting it to be darker, but it doesn’t seem so, unfortunately.
