The game difficulty was insane
Click—
The wings disappeared, and the tip of Angonina’s high heel landed on top of the fortress wall.
I was waiting for you, Angonina.
Glen smiled cruelly.
It had been the same when he predicted Bahad’s movements. He almost felt amazed at how all three of them moved exactly as he expected.
Among the three vanguard commanders, Angonina had been the easiest to predict.
There was no one easier to read than someone hot-blooded and emotional.
His ash-gray eyes shone sharply.
The reason she grew impatient and launched a full assault when there was no news from Bahad, who was supposed to carry out a pincer operation, was all rooted in her emotional nature.
And by analyzing Angonina’s personality and the situation on the battlefield, it was possible to predict that she would eventually appear here in person.
—So you were here, Jaber Remarque.
—Let’s finish this now.
To prevent unplanned troop losses, Angonina wanted to end this fierce battle as quickly as possible, no matter what.
That was why she had come herself to kill the exhausted Jaber, even at the risk of exposing herself in enemy territory.
However—
This was exactly the situation Glen had been hoping for.
Before long, Angonina would regret her choice again and again.
“This is perfect… I’m grateful that the leader came out herself!”
Jaber laughed like a beast as he looked up at Angonina. Seeing him, Angonina lifted her chin.
“Let’s not drag this out. Unlike you, I’m a woman who values her time very much.”
“Kuhahahahaha! A truly likable opponent! But you will regret coming here on your own feet!”
Jaber’s single eye gleamed ominously.
“……Well, it doesn’t seem like I picked a fight I can’t win?”
Angonina frowned.
The black demonic energy surrounding her once again formed two pairs of wings, and her body slowly floated into the air.
As expected, such an annoying ability.
Glen clicked his tongue.
Her innate potential ability—Levitation.
It was a potential ability that allowed flight by using one’s own power, such as holy power or demonic energy, as fuel.
In the original work, it would have been a mediocre ability not even worth looking at twice.
But unfortunately, it’s a terrible matchup against knights like us.
If Angonina simply flew around above the walls, Glen and Jaber would have no way to catch her.
No matter how powerful a 7-star Holy Knight was, if the sword couldn’t reach, it meant nothing.
And on top of that, Sir Jaber’s condition doesn’t look very good…
The golden holy power surrounding Jaber had already faded close to white.
It seemed maintaining Raziel’s blessing was nearly at its limit.
Hot-blooded and emotional or not, a witch is still a witch. She wouldn’t come out if she didn’t think she could win, even against a 7-star.
Glen smiled thinly as he looked up at Angonina, who was gathering the demonic energy she had released in midair.
But you see…
He opened his inventory and took out Einheria.
I’m here because I can win too!
“Sir Jaber!”
“Hm?!”
Jaber turned his head and instinctively caught the object flying toward him.
The moment he saw the blade emitting a chilling cold, a sharp light flashed in his single eye.
“I’ll lend it to you.”
Glen lifted the corner of his mouth.
Jaber lightly spun Einheria in his hand, then bared his teeth in a grin at Glen.
“Much appreciated!”
At that moment, dozens of black spikes surged toward Jaber.
KWA—AAANG!
The area where Jaber stood was destroyed, dirt and dust scattering everywhere.
“I told you I don’t have time.”
Angonina twisted her lips.
But the next moment—
PUUUUNG—!
Jaber leapt out through the dust cloud.
In an instant, the distance between knight and witch closed in midair.
Angonina’s pupils shook.
Jaber swung Einheria.
“Hup!”
“Kyaaah!”
WHOOOOO—!
It barely missed.
But the storm wind created by the sword swept Angonina far away.
She barely regained her balance, breathing roughly.
She seemed to realize deep in her bones that if she allowed even a single direct hit from Jaber, she would die.
CRACK—
Cracks spread across the ground where Jaber landed.
As he straightened up, Jaber looked down at Einheria with a confused expression.
“What is this…?”
But his agitation lasted only a moment.
Seeing dozens of black spikes falling from above, he quickly hardened his gaze and kicked off the ground.
He chased after Angonina.
WHOOO— KWAANG!
Swords and spikes collided.
Angonina did not easily allow Jaber to land an attack either.
Even as she was pushed back by the storm wind created by Einheria, she stubbornly widened the distance.
Pursuit and escape.
Harassment and interception continued endlessly.
The fortress walls they fought across were destroyed to the point where no one could even stand on them.
Watching the scene quietly, Glen kicked off the ground.
Biting her lip, Angonina stretched her hand toward the pursuing Jaber.
KWA—AAANG!
The sword and demonic spikes collided, causing another explosion.
The storm wind left behind by that ominous, unknown sword felt like it would tear her skin apart.
“Ugh!”
In fact, the hem of her clothes was sliced away, so it was no illusion.
Still biting her lip, Angonina widened the distance from the Holy Knight.
So persistent…!
Whenever she thought she had climbed high enough, he would always kick off the ground and chase her again.
And the way he swung his sword with a just get caught once mentality looked unbelievably brutal.
It felt like being chased by a wolf that had turned into a flying beast and lost all reason.
It was shocking that he was still this dangerous even after being exhausted before the fight.
But… if I just drag this into a war of attrition a little longer, I’ll win!
A sharp gleam flashed in Angonina’s red eyes.
Though he clung stubbornly to her, the holy power surrounding Jaber was steadily fading.
