BXBX NOVEL Chapter 9.5: Suzuki is Cute Even in a Savage World (5)
Vol. 1 - Chapter 9.5: Suzuki is Cute Even in a Savage World (5)
(How immature! Be as ruthless as Mother! The feeble state of mind that the other party was a human had dulled the Heavenly Sword Style! He is the enemy! Don\'t think of him as a human!)
A moment later, Noelle regained her nerve and looked at Suzuki with determination. But Noelle almost fell flat on her back.
A rabbit the same size as a human... stood in front of her.
"HUUUUHHHHH!?"
It looked like the rabbit mascot Noelle\'s mother had given her but scaled to a human-sized version. Its adorable ears twitched.
Indeed, she had just gotten herself into a state of mind that considered Suzuki as not a human. However, it never crossed her mind that he would turn into a giant rabbit.
"Mo-Mo-Monster! Kno-Knock it off...!"
The hand holding the sword was shaking. The mascot was a precious, very precious mascot given by her Mother. She had carefully cleaned all the finger marks and stains, and even at her current age, she still carried it around with her. A rabbit many times larger than the rabbit mascot now stood right in front of her.
(Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong! That\'s not the rabbit Mother gave me!)
While being on guard and paying attention to Suzuki, she gently took out the mascot she was carrying on her person and held it out to confirm.
(Ahh---! The spitting image!)
As expected, they were the same. Moreover, bigger. It was so big and fluffy.
(...I wonder how in the world would feel to the touch? ...Ah---!)
Noelle punched her cheek with her fist. A single drop of blood dripped from her lips.
"Vile sorcerer! That magic! I\'ll break through it!"
The Salvation Crusaders had repeatedly practiced harsh mock battles up to this point. Of course, they had not neglected countermeasures against the enemy\'s sorcery.
Noel sheathed his sword and quickly formed the seal taught by the Sage Amgustus with both hands.
"Total Dispel!"
It was a sacred technique to nullify illusions and curse-like spells, handed down from the Sage of the Empire after bloody training.
(How\'s that!?)
After making the complicated seal, Noelle looked at Suzuki again.
...The big and cute rabbit was still standing as usual.
(It hasn\'t been removed at all!!)
Unbelievable. What was that training with Sage Amgustus for?
(N-No, this may be something different from an illusion or a curse! In that case!)
Noelle stepped back and distanced herself from the giant rabbit. The more powerful a magic or skill is, the narrower its range of effect! That\'s the law of this world!
After getting more than enough distance from the giant rabbit,
"Divine Blade \'Wind Slash\'!"
Noelle swung her sword, charged with a blue aura, horizontally. The aura emitted from the sword formed an arc and flew. Noelle unleashed a ranged sword technique that decapitated the giant rabbit... or at least it was supposed to.
Wind Slash cut into the ground a few meters away from the giant rabbit.
(Ridiculous!! Even, from this far distance? Not only the "Mizzle", but even "Wind Slash"!!)
Noelle\'s forehead became covered with cold sweat.
(The Heavenly Sword, the Divine Blade techniques that God gifted to save the world is useless!? This can\'t be happening!!)
This can\'t be true. At the same time, Noelle became convinced. Suzuki has to be finished off for sure here! This strange ability will surely be an obstacle to Mother\'s vision of the world!
(Suzuki has no defense! If I hit him, I can win! And this time, I\'m going to hit him! That\'s right, it\'s the sight of that cute little figure that makes me lose my aim!)
Noelle closed her eyes and drew his sword backward.
(I can do it. This time, it will hit the mark. Even if I somehow miss a vital point, it will still do damage.)
"Divine Blade..."
With her eyes closed and relying only on her own senses to detect his presence, Noelle was about to unleash a Wind Slash when she heard a sound.
"Puu Puu"
Noelle doubted her own ears.
(C-Chirping...!! The rabbit chirped...!?)
She couldn\'t resist opening her eyes. The shock caused the Wind Slash Stance that her body was performing to collapse, and the aura faded into the void without so much as grazing at Suzuki.
Noelle\'s body quaked tremendously. Then she laughed self-deprecatingly.
"Fu-Fufufufu! Kuku-ku-kuku! FINE! I\'ll admit it! Your ability! My inexperienced sword cannot reach you!"
Noelle threw down her sword and yelled.
"If my sword cannot reach you! I\'ll use my wide-range overwhelming Blaze Magic to burn you to the ground!"
Noelle, who self-depleted and considered herself to have mediocre talent, was not only obsessed with swordsmanship but also devoted herself to polishing her magical talents. As a result of her tireless efforts, she had mastered the art of Blaze Magic to the level of a high-ranking sorcerer. However, no matter how powerful the magic, it would be meaningless if her aim was off.
(If that is the case, it would be better if someone with a different will of my own released the fire! An overwhelmingly powerful combustion of Blaze Magic that burns the entire area to the ground!)
Noelle raised both hands to the heavens as if to offer up her whole self.
(I should be able to do it! Now that I\'ve turned into a demonic human!)
"Spirit Summoning!"
The soldiers who were watching the battle reacted with a gasp. A huge, blood-red magic circle appeared beneath Noelle\'s feet. Noelle\'s silver hair stood on end with the outpouring of magical power.
"Come forth! Spirit of Fire, Ifreet!"
A thunderous sound like a bolt of lightning echoed through the air, turning the night sky into a brightening red like twilight. The sky directly above Noelle\'s location ripped open and soon---
"GHAAAAAA...!"
The Legendary Spirit was about to make its appearance.
