I Already Know My Magic Power Is Ridiculously High! Now I Just Need a Cute Wife... - Episode 14

“Wha, wha… what the heck is this?!”

Barbato shouted as he witnessed the unbelievable scene before him.

The ordinary soldiers of Stardust Dust, having been enhanced by “Mamatoten,” experienced a greater impact when they fell and were violently slammed into the ground, resulting in many of them perishing.

Even the living have all lost consciousness, making it impossible to distinguish them from corpses.

Even the Satera-class satellites, which have bodies stronger than stardust and possess magic resistance, are collapsing, stiffening, and losing consciousness.

“Ah, ugh… Your Highness, are you alright?!”

Nephthys, who is lying on the ground, calls out to Barbato.

“Tch! What the hell happened! Explain yourself, Nephthys!”

Seeing the pathetic state of his subordinates, Barbato, unable to contain his anger, unleashes his magic power while shouting at Nephthys.

“It seems that we have been subjected to the ‘intimidation’ of the Stella-class!”

Nephthys’s body was stiff, and she answered with a pained expression.

The words he uttered were hesitant, which only intensified Barbato’s irritation.

“Huh?! This is ‘intimidation’?!?”

“……Hah, this stiffness, it must be ‘intimidation,’ without a doubt.”

Indeed, from the results, it resembles the phenomenon when the nobility exerted “intimidation.”

Nephthys concluded that it was “intimidation” by the rival nobles, but Barbato couldn’t bring himself to believe it.

“No way! I definitely used ‘Magic Detection’! There was no sign of any nobles anywhere! Besides, I had cast ‘Magic Armor’ on my soldiers! There’s no way my ‘Magic Armor’ could be stripped away by something as trivial as ‘Intimidation’!”

Barbato, unable to believe what had just happened before his eyes, raised his voice in a frenzy.

“Magic Binding” is a spell that enhances physical abilities, strengthens mental fortitude, and increases magical resistance in others.

Therefore, “Mamatoten” is well-suited to counter “intimidation” that sends out waves of magical energy.

From Barbato’s perspective, what Nephthys was saying was like claiming to win rock-paper-scissors with scissors against rock.

“…B-but, in reality, we have no choice but to see that the ‘Magic Binding’ has been lifted. With no grasp on the enemy’s position, staying here is the worst of the worst strategies.”

Nephthys advises Barbato, who is in a state of intense agitation.

And then, in order to quickly dispel the “intimidation” paralysis, I begin to gather my magical power.

When you feel numbness in your body due to the “intimidation” from the nobles, just flow enough magic to cancel out the intimidation’s magic.

However, due to the intense “intimidation” from earlier, Nephthys felt as if the “door,” the organ that generates magic power within her body, had been locked, making it difficult for her to properly refine her magic power, and she was bewildered.

“Then what are you going to do about this situation, huh?!”

With Barbato’s frantic screams, Nephthys is unconsciously hit by the magic of “intimidation,” making her feel like asking for mercy.

“Ugh, it can’t be helped. Let’s retreat to Bangwall Fort with only those who can move!”

“You! Do you even understand what you’re doing, Nephthys?! There’s no turning back now! If I don’t take Urgore’s head, I’m finished!”

In a fit of rage at Nephthys’s half-hearted proposal, Barbato grabbed her hair with his right hand and lifted her off the ground.

“Hah… guuh…! B-but our army has already suffered catastrophic damage. The culprit behind this tragedy might still be lurking somewhere! W-we should retreat!”

Nephthys, writhing in agony from the pain of her stiffened body being forcibly moved and the damage to her hair roots, advises Barbato to retreat.

“Enough, Nephthys! Give orders to everyone right now! We will head straight to the Ronshanto Fortress within half an hour! If we don’t stand up, we’ll leave everyone behind here!”

“Guh…!”

Barbato pressed his hand against Nephthys’s abdomen and forcefully channeled his magical power into her.

Nephthys felt the numbness in her body gradually fading away.

It seems that the key to the “door” has been unlocked because the magic of the Stella-class star has been released.
Barbato released Nephthys’s hair and walked away somewhere, looking displeased.

“Haa… tsk, I couldn’t persuade them.”

The liberated Nephthys sighed as she watched her hair fall out in a pitiful manner.

Barbato, who has become like that, no longer listens to anyone, no matter what they say.

At this point, we have no choice but to reorganize the troops within half an hour and head to the Ronshanto Fortress.

There are just a few unnatural things.

“Why on earth isn’t the culprit pursuing us? Did they perhaps flee? Out of fear of His Highness? No, that can’t be…”

It was too unnatural that nothing happened after incapacitating a ten-thousand-strong army.

So, I can’t help but be on guard against the culprit who is probably lurking nearby even now.

“Who are you anyway? What is your goal? …No, there’s no time to think. For now, we need to secure any allies who can move.”

Nephthys cut off her spiraling thoughts and began channeling her magical power into each of the conscious warriors.

The fact that the culprit was a mere twelve-year-old guardian who had been sniped from over fifty kilometers away was something Nephthys could never have imagined.
