Dear My Knight

4. Manticore – (41)

***

A fierce battle unfolds right in front of the Glia Wall.

Thanks to the brilliant performance of the Glaad Knights, the tide of war has changed.

As if pouring endlessly, the waves of the black sea created a bizarre situation as if the center quickly collapsed. A few of them began to spread out to the left and right.

Like a huge blue wave widening its waterway, knights of blue light gradually began to appear everywhere on the frontlines.

……

And I felt that change faster than anyone else.

The left side of the wire.

A woman with flowing red hair and an angelic appearance. Tyra Martina was her.

Wheeying.

The strong night wind fiercely entwines the knights and mercenaries, even caressing Tyra’s hair as she flies in the air.

The cold wind blew through Tir’a Martina’s hair and seemed to block her vision.

“Glead’s potential… Is.”

Waiting for her body to regenerate in the air, Tyra looked around at the battlefield, but her eyes were focused on the distant central battlefield.

With awakening, Tyra possessed physical abilities beyond human limits. Even her brilliant golden eyes were already far outside the scope of an ordinary human being.

As if it were right in front of you, you could see the faraway battlefield.

Definitely, the knights of Glaad were incomparable to the knights of other families, even for their individual might.

Among them, two articles stand out.

Aizen Glade, who has a high reputation even within the Empire, and Ashera Glade, who suddenly joined the front line.

Aizen, who is called the shield of the empire, knew his potential early on.

Tirua, what she sees is a female knight with flowing blue hair who is taking part in the same battle as Aizen.

Asera was her.

The flower of the north, a female knight called a jewel.

But Tyra, from her point of view, that modifier did not suit her.

Asera A modifier that seems to evaluate only her outstanding appearance.

“To call such knights simply flowers and jewels.”

Tirra raised her mouth slightly.

Her skills, which should now be mere terms, were at a level that was hard to believe even after seeing it with her own eyes.

I didn’t even realize how great my innate talent was, how much I could achieve at that age.

Would even those who are called the seven stars of the Chaldean Empire be able to achieve such a state at that age? Ashera’s figure looked great enough to make me think that way.

Kiyiyiik!!!

Her soon-to-be-recovered right arm draws out her giant arrow again, and Tir-A hangs her bowstring on her own giant longbow.

Huge hopes.

The reason why the North has written a brilliant history over a long period of time.

Glead of the North.

Tirra Martina recalled those words once again.

Even she looked at them and naturally had a fighting spirit.

And that’s probably not just your story.

Let’s pull the string to the limit and look down at the glance.

Even the knights on the front line on the left were seen fighting more fiercely than before, with their courage redoubled.

The battlefield seems to have gained momentum.

“I’m sorry.”

Looking at it, Tyra felt deep regret.

If there is anything that will make a strong connection with that Glaad.

If there was something proper to connect families with each other.

If so. The people of the Martina family won’t have to suffer anymore.

If the knight named Asherah, who blossomed with his brilliant talent, was a man…

Or if there was at least someone in her family who would kiss her and her superior abilities.

‘How nice it would have been.’

Then the Martina family won’t have to do anything cursed like transplanting the blood of the demon into their own bodies.

Tirra with a bitter smile.

As if clearing her thoughts, she released her hand holding the giant arrow.

The gigantic arrow of blue light was fired quickly as if breaking the waves of the black sea again.

***

As soon as the form of the blue wave is deployed, Ed quickly joins the front line.

However, the direction Ed was heading was to the right side of the front line, not the center where the knights of Glead were.

“Kiruk!”

“Quyeek!”

Choo!

Shuuk!

Tuduk.

To-do-duduk.

The monsters who threw their bodies at Ed were pulverized and collapsed as if they had been stabbed dozens of times.

For the support of the knight who was engulfed in an unexpected blue light. The mercenaries and Birbalche knights guarding the front line on the right gave Ed their attention.

Ed casually overtakes them and continues to move forward.

Glead of the North.

A noble knight who considers it an honor to stand on the front lines.

As if even Ed, who had spent a long time as a Glad Knight, hadn’t forgotten his true nature, he sacrificed himself to protect the front line of his left side.

……

The moment Tolish’s huge golden aura hit the ground.

Wow!

On its own, it creates a huge resonance on the ground.

Filia, who flung her body right next to her, has a faint golden aura on her sword, protecting Tolish with restrained movements.

And forward to them.

A monster in the form of a giant lion appeared.

“Quiruk…”

“Kwoaaa…”

Just as other monsters made way for the giant lion’s beast, even the beasts who lost their reason moved away trembling in fear.

Thump…

Thump…

As the monster in the shape of a huge lion, revealing itself like that, roared low, a grotesque cry rang out.

“Kreurreu…”

The lion’s body dyed red. Huge jet-black wings, a tail with sharp poisonous stingers.

“Manticore…?”

When Tolish confirmed the beast’s appearance, his complexion hardened and he let out a salivating voice. It was a well-known beast that could not even scratch its thick leather unless it was a top-notch knight.

“Let’s step back, it’s dangerous!”

When Philia, who flew her body after Tolish, confirmed the Manticore’s appearance, she hurriedly grabbed Tolish’s arm.

Looks like we want to go back like this.

It was reckless, if only reckless, for the two of them to deal with that.

A resolute Philia who doesn’t even need to think deeply.

“…”

However, Tolish did not budge even at Philia’s beckoning.

“If the manticore touches the knights. That in itself is a disaster. Philia.”

“But…!”

“Philia, you know that. That most of the knights of Birbalche can’t deal with that manticore.”

Philia Tolish knew that it would be difficult for her and himself to deal with the Manticore.

But step back, if that vicious beast called Manticore touches the Knights of Birbalche guarding the front line. It was self-evident that it would cause even greater damage.

More than half of Birbalce’s knights will die.

Their power is definitely helpful on this front, but most of them won’t be able to penetrate even the hide of that beast called Manticore.

In the end, it will bring huge sacrifices.

“Tolish… Please. Let’s go back, okay?”

Filia, who held onto Tolish’s arm with all her might, looked at him as if pleading and tried to persuade him somehow.

As if Tolish had solidified her thoughts, she shook her head slightly at Philia’s plea.

“I mean. I know it’s an unreasonable request. Philia.”

“Tolish…”

“If possible, the two of us should handle it. No, it must be blocked.”

Filia finally removed her hand from Tolish’s arm with a hard expression on her face.

The look of caring for people in my family.

The reason why there are so many vassals trusted and followed by Tolish in the Birbalce family.

That all of that comes from Tolish’s appearance as he is now.

Philia She knew too.

Filia looked at Tolish with trembling eyes for a while and eventually gave up her thoughts.

Ugh!

An extremely brilliant golden aura rose from Philia’s sword.

Looking at that figure, Tolish smiled lightly and gripped his sword tightly.

Then, a brilliant golden aura similar to that of Philia overflowed and cast its light on the luxurious sword.

Aura manifestations equal to the strength of the two knights, Tolish and Philia, began to brighten the battlefield even in the dark night.

Susssss!!

And without any sign, the manticore’s jet-black poison needle was rapidly fired.

Filia and Tolish both looked on in astonishment at the venomous stinger moving rapidly across the ground, as if it were crawling on the ground, along with the bizarre appearance of the tip of its tail growing rapidly in an instant.

It was not an ordinary Manticore’s means of attack.

Feeling an eerie feeling as if stabbing her heart, Filia quickly raised her sword and tried to block the attack somehow.

Shoo Woowook!!!

The jet-black tail embroidering the ground at an odd angle rises bizarrely.

He passed the sword imbued with Philia’s golden aura.

‘Ah…’

Where is that poison needle that missed my sword?

Filia was clearly felt in her eyes at that moment.

It was as if a distant darkness, like her distant despair, was enveloping her.

Though Tolish’s hand moved in such a slow time.

It’s already too late.

Filia felt that way.

“Tolish!!!!!!”

The moment Philia’s tearing scream rang out.

Chae Ae-Aeng!!!!

A blonde knight engulfed in blue waves appeared on the battlefield.
