Chapter 97 – Villager A Settles the Battle (Part 2):-
“Noooooo, Markus! Why! Markus!”
Seeing Amy crying and the fact that I have shot and killed a person I knew, doesn’t even bring up feelings of sympathy for me.
Only the question, ‘How in the world?’ is swirling in my head.
Oh, apparently I’ve been pretty ruthless.
No, it’s too late now after all that.
I hold Saiga again to shoot the next bullet at Amy.
“I won’t let you!”
The next moment, the Crown Prince shouted that and closed the distance between us at once.
However, Anna pulls out the 『Sky Knight sword』 and prevents the sword of the Prince with it. Sword clashed with sword, and a metallic sound echoed through the room.
“Anastasia! Get out of my way! This guy! If it weren’t for this guy!”
The Crown Prince delivers the next blow in an attempt to eliminate Anna. The move is much more sophisticated than what we saw in class.
This must be a〖Hero〗buff which he has put on himself. If I had been hit by this, I probably would have been killed with a single blow.
However, Anna easily parries the Crown Prince’s sword. The Crown Prince, unable to keep up with her movements, easily lost his balance and staggered.
“Your Highness, it’s time to wake up from your dream.”
“What!?”
Anna, who said this as if admonishing him, lightly flicks the Crown Prince’s sword away from him and then hits him with a sharp middle kick to the gut.
“Gah, ha!”
The Crown Prince, with his body bent over, grunted in pain and fell to his knees on the ground.
The difference in level is so great that it is no longer even a match.
Having received the blessing of the〖Sky Knight〗, the blessing of the〖Ice Saint〗, and with the training through high-speed dungeon traversing of the Wind Mountain Dungeon, Anna’s current status is an S in both physical and magical power.
Even with the〖Hero〗buff on board, the current Crown Prince does not seem to stand on his feet.
“Holy Ice Awakening!”
The Crown Prince’s head was wrapped in ice and quickly broke.
“What? I-I was? A-Amy? Eh? Eh?”
Anna lands the final blow on the Crown Prince, who is confused after his brainwashing done by Amy fell off.
“Ice-bound Holy World!”
The Crown Prince’s body is wrapped in ice by Anna’s magic.
“What’s this!? Anastasia! Damn! Oh, Mana, the source of all things, Mana. Become a flame armour and protect myself. Flame armour!”
The Crown Prince puts a flame armour on his body. Considering the compatibility, the ice should melt with this, but there is no sign that the ice created by Anna will melt.
“W-Why! Ice should melt in the flames!”
“Your Highness, that ice is holy ice. It will not melt by ordinary means. You will be taken prisoner as you are.”
“Eh, damn it! Anastasia!”
The Crown Prince glares at Anna with hateful eyes and shouts loudly.
However, when he shouted, the Crown Prince’s mouth was sealed with ice and he was unable to utter any more words.
After confirming this, Anna seemed to lose all interest in the Crown Prince and turned her back to him, who was still mumbling something, and then turned to Amy.
I ready my saiga to make sure I hit her this time. However, Amy speaks to Anna in a theatrical and sweet tone.
“Anastasia-sama! Please wake up! This should not be what Anastasia-sama wanted.”
This is the line the heroine in the game told to the villainess who was corrupted by darkness during the final battle.
I understand now. In the game, the power of the Saint of Charity was activated here, and it would have weakened the power of the magic sword as it purified some of its despair.
But Anna here is not trapped by a magic sword.
And even if that were the case, neither the Crown Prince nor Markus, who protects Amy, would be able to fight and defeat the weakened villainess.
“Lady Saint!”
Stunned by the suddenness of the situation, the soldiers came to their senses and attacked us. Anna made a small gesture to stop me as I held up my Saiga to intercept them, and then she cast her magic.
“Holy Ice Awakening!”
The next moment, the soldier’s heads are cooled with holy ice and their brainwashing is lifted.
“Eh? What? Huh?”
The soldiers, having come to their senses, stop and look around. They don’t seem to understand why they are doing this.
When Amy saw this, she was blatantly distraught.
“Hi, hii. Why. Why are you, the villainess, here! What’s going on? Someone! Someone!”
“Holy Ice Barrier!”
Anna used another unknown magic and a dome of ice formed between the thrones and enveloped us. Perhaps it is similar to the ice saint magic that restrained the Crown Prince.
I pointed Saiga at Amy, but Anna looked at me and shook her head a little.
As far as I’m concerned, it’s too dangerous to even exchange words, so I’d rather just shoot Amy now, but apparently, Anna has an idea.
When I lowered my gun and nodded a little, Anna nodded back and then approached Amy.
“Hey.”
“Hiii. Someone! Help me! Someone!”
Amy runs away with such a scream and desperately hits the wall of the dome in an attempt to break the ice. But of course, the ice doesn’t break.
Oh, come on. No matter how much you brainwashed them, both Markus and the Crown Prince risked their lives to protect you, and that’s the last thing you want to do.
“Ice Binding.”
When Anna used her magic, the ice restrained Amy. Then, forcing Amy to turn toward her, Anna declared to Amy in an emotionless voice.
“You know, I do believe that people should be forgiven if they are remorseful and atone for their sins.”
