Chapter 515.2



Chapter 515.2

It was believed that the monster came from other regions, and it was judged that the stationed troops and knight corps protecting the region would not be able to handle it, so the task of defeating the monster was given to the Holy Knights of Faldienne, to which Nell was assigned.

However, the job took longer than originally envisioned, to the extent that they had to temporarily return to the royal capital to rethink their strategy.

This was because the monster was so unpredictable.

It was reported that the target, in addition to its high intelligence, seemed to be able to use magic to disappear, which made it extremely difficult to capture it.

The monster’s fighting ability was also high, considering that it was classified as [War Class], and the army that first challenged the monster suffered many casualties.

Although it was not clearly known because it could disappear, it was believed that the monster was responsible for several unsolved incidents that had occurred in the region recently.

In addition, after marking all the locations where damage had occurred on a map and examining the information carefully, it had been confirmed that the target was not staying in one place, i.e., not even building something like a nest, but had the cunning to keep moving as it hunted.

This was why the hasty search for the most recently damaged location had come up empty.

As their search continued so slowly, Nell herself was starting to get annoyed to the point she even considered asking her husband to take down the beast before the damage it caused escalated. When she finally found it, she channeled all of her irritation in her blade.

“You know… it’s your fault that I’ve been working for so long. I’ve had to stay in the field, and I haven’t been able to take a bath at all. You have to take responsibility, right?”

Nell slashed her sword with a rather serious anger.

It was not a flashy kind of slash, but one with no frenzy at all, and it caught the monster right in the neck, slicing it open like slicing a tofu.

The chameleon-like monster, which was still trying to move, suddenly fell down with a thud as if it had lost all its strength, and never moved again.

The subjugation was complete.

Nell used to use the holy sword Durandal a lot before, but nowadays, she no longer uses it.

Durandal was not originally owned by her, but rather it was given to her for use by the church that owned it, so she returned it to the church for future generations.

Therefore, the sword she now carried was a sword Yuki created, a straight black sword with the name of [Yoha].

It possessed a formidable cutting ability, and to tell the truth, it was too sharp for her liking.

The scabbard Yuki had prepared to store this weapon was cut in half when Nell tried to sheathe this sword. That moment was still fresh in her mind.

The sword fell down according to gravity and finally stopped when it pierced halfway through the floor.

In the end, she managed to carry it by putting it inside a bracelet that could activate space magic.

So Nell, who originally was not heavily armed, was now even more lightly armed than before. Nell was armed only with a dagger called [Gekka], which Yuki gave her a long time ago, behind her waist.

‘I can’t point this sword against people…’

‘If I am using this sword, I am not convinced that I can go easy on my opponent even if they were wearing metal armor or had their shields up.’

It might be a good idea to ask Yuki to prepare a sword for daily use that was a little less sharp.

Wasn’t it too much trouble to have a sword that could cut too well?

Looking at Nell, who slaughtered the monster easily, the leader of the Faldienne Holy Knights muttered in a whisper, “…That’s an out of standard sword, but an instant kill, huh?”

Nell was with Carlotta Demeyere, Nell’s immediate superior.

“Huh? Well, the only thing that stood out was its ability to sense danger, but other than that, it was just an ordinary monster. If I can hit it head-on like this, there’s no problem.”

“I see, an ordinary monster. Even though it had the power to crush and break a large tree with a single strike.”

“It sure looked painful if it hit you, right?”

Carlotta chuckled at Nell, who said such a thing without a care in the world.

It was definitely a monster that had lethal attack power. One would not consider that simply a little painful.

Even in the current battle, the monster was also showing moves that strongly showed its cunning, such as disappearing in the middle of an attack or setting up a trap-like spell.

Even the elite Faldienne Holy Knights would have to be prepared to lose two or three men to this enemy, but Nell was able to complete the elimination by herself without much effort at all.

The current Nell possessed a strength that could be said to be outstanding even among the heroes of the past, a strength befitting a true hero.

“…Maybe we can have Nell work as an instructor from now on.”

“Well, I don’t have the confidence to teach people about my training methods. I’ve recently been training with our pets.”

“When you talk about pets, do you mean the Fenrir that your husband has under his command?”

“Oh, no, Rir is one of them, but we also have four other pets that we train with occasionally by having them fight mock battles with us. Compared to how our pets work together when in combat, other monsters I have encountered so far would simply be erased because of their easy-to-read moves.”

Nell occasionally trained with Orochi, Yata, Byaku, and Seimi.

The training varied from one-on-one, to two-on-two, to one-on-many, but because of their shared abilities, they were ideal training partners.

Conversely, nowadays, it took four of them to train against Nell.

Rir and Yuki were too different in ability to train properly, and Yuki, in particular, did not want to point his weapon at Nell, so he did not train with any of them at all.

“…I see. Once again, I can see the peculiarity of your household environment.”

“It’s pretty normal, you know? It’s just that their race is a bit regal, but those pets are pretty cute as well.”

“I wonder how many people would agree with your words.”

While chatting like this, the girls started cleaning up the mess.
