Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga

Chapter 98

The moment all kinds of questions based on the 5, 5, and 5 rules filled my consciousness, my body reacted before thinking.

Before he had time to draw out his sword, he jumped forward, raising his magic power, followed by an analysis of the current situation.

The fact that the gate changed after all the students, including Zeke, had passed, meant that a magician skilled enough to intervene in the gate in real time was secretly working around him, and at the same time, he was targeting Esmue.

However, those who immediately notice abnormal behavior are not caught.

stealth? Or did the demons hide and infiltrate? If that’s the case, what level of skill is it to be able to intervene in an open gate and change the coordinates without being noticed? did you do it alone? Do you have an assistant?

Is the enemy’s target the kidnapping of Esmuer? or is it death

To whom am I to convey the warnings that must come out of my mouth? The SS hiding somewhere? Or the visible Imperial Guard? Esmue?

If you were to call her, what would be her name? Should it be tailored to a formal situation? Or should I call you by name for alertness and stimulation?

I don’t have enough time to judge with my head.

“Esmuth…!”

As soon as I tried to call her name in a desperate situation where I couldn’t even be sure if it was the right choice, I felt a goosebumps from the tip of my toe to the top of my head and instinctively drew my sword.

– Kaang!

The sword that I couldn’t even pull out was able to accurately catch someone’s sword that was swung with the momentum to cut my body in two. The scabbard and the sword were able to withstand it, but it was strong enough that if I had pulled it out halfway, I might have gotten a scar on my side.

As it was, it flew sideways for about three steps, then I managed to hold my posture and lifted my head to check.

It was obvious why they blocked it, and it was not even Esmuer’s bodyguards who wanted to kill me with a single knife. However, no matter who saw it, I judged that he was not the enemy because there was no additional attack coming in as if he was trying to protect Esmue.

“Suddenly…”

So, instead of trying to convince him, I decided to call out Esmuer at the top of my voice.

“Esmuet! Water at the gate…!”

However, even that attempt failed due to something suddenly poking through the crowd.

Against my will, the moment my body was lightly blown backwards by the wind pressure, what I could see was ‘someone’ who quietly landed on the ground while devastating the surroundings, and the black armor that appeared from somewhere and surrounded and blocked Esmuer’s surroundings. It was the royal guards.

The sound then exploded.

-Quaaaaaang!

“Fuck!”

A tremendous roar shakes the body and brain to the point of worrying that the eardrum may be bursting.

It was unknown whether it was magic or simply the result of the physical body, but it was certain that some of the people who were in the place where it landed were turned to blood.

Even though I was thrown to the ground with only the shockwave, I barely managed to get my bearings. In my field of vision, the Royal Guard knights and the Royal Guards, who were already ignoring me and protecting Esmuier, came in to contain the sudden intruders. The situation of most people with intact limbs is no different from theirs.

At this moment, most of the eyes were on the unidentified visitor and the horrors around him.

With the two horns on its head, you know that it’s a demon.

But from where the hell did he appear so suddenly and what did he do to make it appear as if he had been bombed, turning the area where he landed into a sea of blood?

The only thing that was certain was that none of the people who were caught up in it knew any faces.

Esmuer, who barely looked back at the guy who slowly got up, was relieved to see that he hadn’t entered the gate yet. That guy, who had been garnering everyone’s attention, suddenly looked at me and raised his left index finger. brought to the lips

“Shh.”

Understanding the meaning of the gesture taken with a very aloof and expressionless face, all I could do was hold the drawn sword upright in the center of my body and hold on with all my might.

What was swung was definitely a fingernail that suddenly grew out of the hand of an ordinary guy just now.

But when it swung and collided with the sword, what I felt was the pain and shock as if I had been struck by lightning.

-Kakagak!!

“Kuhup…!”

Its shadow passed by me with a metallic sound that I couldn’t believe my fingernails had collided with the sword.

“Can you stop this?”

It was such an acceleration that it was hard to follow even with my own eyes, which had maxed out my magic power.

However, even though I had enough time to slap my sword and mutter to myself as I passed by, he immediately turned and went further without aiming for my back.

“There are too many variables.”

“What the fuck are you talking about. You bastard who doesn’t even look like a human…!”

All specs are above me, but he is like an arrow. I didn’t know what the other attacks were like, but it was clear that the previous blow was out of fine control.

I tried to spit out words with a nauseous feeling to see if I could take a little more time or find out something, but he doesn’t show any reaction.

“I have to hurry before it goes wrong.”

“Close the gate…!”

The demon’s attack once again aimed at the left thigh this time, but I was able to deflect it by moving my sword in time.

This baby. Trying to stop warning about the gate! The moment when I couldn’t focus on him and was about to move my eyes to Esmuer.

“Catch it.”

Esmuer’s command came with a voice that was perfectly calm.

Looking at her hurriedly, she seemed to understand my advice and took a step forward, keeping her distance from the gate more than before.

There are no slogans or hand signals. As if all circumstances had been presumed and adjusted, the SS divided their roles in silence.

“Sheesh.”

It feels like I can only hear his voice well in the surroundings where shock and fear have engulfed me. Still, I felt a sense of relief when I thought it was proof that the SS was so strong that even that crazy guy would click his tongue.

“That’s right. Ithiel’s Eldmia Ega. The boy who defeated the hero.”

And the knight of the royal guard, who had not relaxed while staring at me, muttered as if he had finally recognized me and inserted his sword. After seeing that, the tension starts to rise again. No, are you really so relieved in this situation?

“If you had tried to harm the princess, you would have had much more opportunities. You must have noticed something strange and tried to protect the princess. I almost made a big mistake because I didn’t understand your intentions.”

However, contrary to my anxiety, he approached me, wearing golden armor, and extended his hand to me, who was almost collapsing on his knees.

Obviously, the guards from behind are brandishing their swords with the intention of killing one at a time, and the demon is fighting fiercely by dodging, blocking, or counterattacking again, but he is calm like a person who is convinced that the situation has already been sorted out.

I understand that there is trust in the SS and pride in their skills, but in my situation, I don’t feel relieved at all because I keep seeing that demon who suddenly jumped out and fought closely against the five SS.

“You have just done your duty. I’m sorry, but I don’t have the skills to be vigilant yet, so I’d like to put off greetings for a while.”

Seeing a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth with a strong impression behind the helmet, I guess my attitude wasn’t particularly annoying.

Still, it was certain that his target was Esmuier, so I got up with his help and moved toward her.

“Eldmia. Are you okay?”

Looking at me like that, one of the bodyguards behind Esmuier turned around and stopped looking at the fight with the demons, turned his head to her and stretched out his hand. At first glance, it seemed like she was trying to stop Esmuer from leaving her seat, but thanks to her short stature, I could see the knight’s hand very clearly.

The right hand stretched out towards Esmuer, who was leaning inward as if trying to push through the gate.

Yes, it must be normal for there to be at least one or two traitors intervening at the gate!

Without time to call out his name, he accelerates once again and closes the distance with all his might.

Fortunately, it seemed that he was only looking at Esmu because he was careful about his disrespectful behavior. As if if only she could get her through the gate, everything would work out.

It was only a moment, but it was also enough time for the accelerating accident to question its actions.

Even if he or she was unknown, he would have devoted his whole life to becoming a member of the SS with skills like that, so why did he betray him?

But having doubts doesn’t mean you can draw conclusions.

The important thing now is that I don’t know that person, and I’m close to Esmue to the point where I’ve been deprived of my lips. Maybe it’s not the real Royal Guard, but a demon wearing a helmet.

In the midst of that, isn’t it normal to prioritize acquaintances over strangers?

“Close your hands! You bastard!”

Breaking off the thought that was about to continue, he jumped at Esmue and swung his sword while holding the pommel on the handle.

It was a trick that I had only used once to save Ragnis and had no use for it after that, but it moved toward the neck of the bodyguard in a neat arc that I felt. And, passing through the gaps in the armor, I could feel the accurate cut through my fingertips.

A shriek escaped from the traitor’s mouth.

“Kahak!”

It would have been nice if it had reached halfway, but the tip of the sword that barely touched seemed to have stopped digging into the carotid artery. And since that alone was not enough to stop the traitor’s resolve, he pushed Esmuer away.

I pushed Esmuer through the gate with all my might, so I jumped up and blocked Esmuer with my whole body before I had time to watch the blood rushing from the neck of the guy I had cut, and I threw Esmuer at the golden knight who was running after me. pushed away

It is unknown which of the SS might be the traitor again. Having said that, it would be a hopeless situation if even that person had a hint of betrayal, but that was the best I could do right now.

Even though I went over to the gate because I was forced to act while floating in the air. this was the best

I don’t know what’s beyond the gate, but I’m sure it’ll work. Fuck.
