Chapter 474: Irony
A massive explosion erupted at the location where Alida and Theodore were supposed to be.
Seeing that, we, who had been waiting nearby, sprang into action.
Deep down, I was grateful that Nigel had been teleported away from the Imperial Capital. Leaning out of the running carriage, I relayed to Elna, who was running alongside me.
"It seems like it's not over yet! We're dealing with opponents who are giving Alida and Theodore a hard time. Elna, let's go all out from the start!"
"Of course!"
"I'm glad to see you so motivated. Then, please summon the Holy Sword."
"Understood... Wait, there's no way I can do that, right!?"
The Holy Sword was powerful.
To summon it, there were several restrictions in place.
During emergencies, those restrictions were lifted, but this was a time of peace.
One of the few restrictions was prohibiting its use near the Imperial Capital.
When Elna unleashed it in the midst of the Imperial Capital rebellion, it was because the Emperor was in danger.
But now, the situation is different.
Therefore, permission was required.
"I will give you permission."
"You need the permission of His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Rest assured. I have the credentials as a proxy."
Saying that, I showed them the Emperor's ring.
Originally, it was something Alida received from our father.
He entrusted everything to her, not just with words.
He also entrusted her with the authority of the Emperor as well.
That was now in my hands.
Alida handed it to me.
In case the Holy Sword became necessary, it was meant to be used immediately.
Perhaps that's the reason she involved me in this.
If they were unable to match their opponents, we would need the Holy Sword.
The outcome of the battle depended on the sky.
"The Seventh Imperial Prince Arnold Lakes Adler commands you! Brave one, take hold of the Holy Sword with your hand!"
I issued the release command for the Holy Sword.
"Listen to my voice and descend! Radiant Sword of the Stars! This hero now needs you!"
Elna summoned the Holy Sword and appeared before Alida and Theodore.
And then...
"You... You're the one who interfered in the North?!"
"I never expected... the hero wielding the Holy Sword to appear. Are you really Prince Arnold?"
The figure in the black robe turned their attention to me as I got off the carriage.
Around me were Sebas and Sieg.
Lynfia and Mia were watching the battle from a distance.
Rather than participating in the fight, their formation was meant to prevent anyone from escaping.
"If someone with a dangerous magical sword appears in the Imperial Capital, it's only natural to take action. I did think that there were more than one person... So, the one who let Raphael escape in the North is here. It would be best if you surrendered peacefully."
"I'm afraid that's not going to happen. It would be pointless to come all this way without any gains."
Saying that, the person in the black robe turned their attention to Alida and Theodore.
Exhausted and worn out, the two of them.
In terms of numbers, they were at a disadvantage, but in terms of strength, they were evenly matched.
"Very well. Negotiations have failed then."
"It seems so."
After their exchange of words, Elna immediately attacked the person in the black robe.
But Nigel stood in her way before she could reach them.
"Don't get in my way...! I have business with that person!"
Elna and Nigel soared into the sky.
And their every strike destroyed the surrounding area in their otherworldly battle.
A battle between the highest-grade magical sword and the Holy Sword.
TL's Note
Fudge i think i messed up in the earlier chapters since i kept calling the magical sword as demonic sword since in kanji both are similar
