I Have been Reincarnated As a Lazy, Arrogant Noble, but When I Destroyed The Scenario Through Effort, I Became The Most Powerful With Extraordinary Magical Power - 141

Chapter 141: Seven Calamitous Sins

Advanced magical beasts I knew from the original work jumped out of the teleportation window.

Although the individuals weren’t that large, they were fierce and cunning magical beasts.

The lizard race was covered in tough scales and wielded a large saber in its right hand. They couldn’t communicate, but their humanoid appearance made them even more threatening.

The undead had pain immunity and undead resistance. However, it was meaningless in the face of my light.

In this harsh situation, this is where Noblesse Oblige comes into play.

Such thoughts might have come up because my expectations were met, and perhaps because of Alan’s independent actions, reliable comrades were involved.

However, Princess Sofia was different.

She trembled in fear, her shoulders shaking. It was the first time she had encountered such advanced magical beasts, and it petrified her with terror.

That’s why I called out to her in a slightly mocking tone, believing it would be the most reassuring.

“What, even a princess of a country is scared of magical beasts?”

“Well, of course!?”

—Then, I’ll put your mind at ease.”

If I demonstrated an overwhelming difference in strength, Sofia would probably calm down.

While conserving magic power is essential, the opening bell is crucial.

I let my magic power overflow.

And in the next moment, I stabbed the heart of the lizard race, cutting off its head.

I then chopped up the undead monsters. Of course, I added light to prevent them from resurrecting.

I continued to defeat the small fry one after another.

Without letting my guard down, yet remaining calm.

Everything came to an end, leaving corpses in place.

But it might have been too fast.

Princess Sofia, instead of being comforted,—

“Amazing… amazing, amazing. You’re incredible! You’re really strong!”

Well, she’s a princess after all. Her composure must be solid.

“Yeah, but the real challenge is yet to come.”

That’s right; if it’s just these magical beasts, the guardian knights should be able to handle it. In other words, the demons or even stronger magical beasts should appear.

The personnel stationed at each gate should be dealing with the extermination of magical beasts. Seeing there’s no contact from Cecil, she must be taking command of the battle.

Looking up at the sky, magical beasts seemed to be multiplying endlessly.

A horrifying sight, but here, I have reliable allies, and Eva and Milch-sensei are here.

Princess Sofia, like me, looked up at the sky, her trembling shoulders. I gently placed my hand on her trembling shoulders.

“The citizens…”

“It’s okay. There are plenty of the strongest up there.”

“… Stronger than you?”

“Well, some of them.”

At that moment, a voice came from Cecil.

“How is it going there, Weiss-kun?”

“No problem. How about the battle situation?”

“There are many magical beasts, but so far, there are only a few injuries. Eva-san and Milch-sensei are doing their best, but Coco-sensei’s contribution is significant. The barrier seems to include weakening the magical beasts. It’s an unbelievable magic.”

“Yeah, that’s probably true.”

Coco, like Milch-sensei, is a character who appears in the final stage. It’s strange that she’s so strong right here. Well, her background is already extraordinary even within the Noblesse Academy.

Well, Eva alone will likely surpass all of them.

“How about Cynthia and the others?”

“They’re fine. They’re dealing with everything. So far, we haven’t confirmed any demons or imitations. We want to go around from the north gate and gradually meet up with Alan-san and Shally-san, so please slowly circle around clockwise. Be careful not to let your guard down.”

“Understood.”

Shari’s magic enhancement boasts overwhelming protection even among us. And annoyingly, Alan’s imitation is easy to handle against anything.

Cecil’s judgment is undoubtedly correct.

“Let’s move. We’re flying again. Hold on tight.”

“Got it. —Sorry for doubting you.”

“No need to apologize. But, when everything is over, you better give me a word of thanks.”

“I’ll say it as many times as you want.”

“Well, your attitude is different from earlier.”

I carried Sofia on my back, and we soared into the sky again. I couldn’t see Karta, but the light from the ground shooting magical cannons into the sky was visible.

If the pre-planned operation and expectations were correct, knights and mages should already be coming from the friendly nation of Ostrava.

It’s a sure victory if we take our time.

And I directed my gaze to the full moon.

Why is this day limited? There’s a proper reason for that.

Noblesse Oblige has a very high difficulty level with many random elements.

But it’s still a game. Users can find answers through discussions.

On the day of the full moon, magical beasts can obtain more magical power than usual.

This allows them to target even large countries.

Normally, no matter how many demons there are, they should be repelled. The number of people directly affects military strength.

Of course, there might be exceptions, but I am convinced.

“—There it is.”

While exterminating monsters near the outer gate, I spot Alan and Shari fighting.

But there are quite a few of them. Especially for Shari, whose magic is disadvantageous for moving around.

Since they’re coming this way, there’s no time to set traps.

So, let’s lend a hand.

“Sophia, get ready to move. Hold on tight.”

“Y-yes!”

“—One-shot kill.”

I unleashed a slash towards Alan and the others from the sky.

They sensed my magic and jumped high to evade the slash.

But the delayed monsters had their heads blown off.

I and the others landed on the ground.

Running towards them, I called out to them.

“Well done.”

“Hey, Weiss, that was dangerous! What if you died!?”

“I thought you guys could dodge it. And you did, right?”

“If you had died just now, I would have cursed you for generations!”

Seems like I might have overdone it a bit. Alan is flustered, and Shari glares at me.

Well, if the results are good, then everything’s fine.

Then Shari knelt down, and after some hesitation, Alan followed.

“Please forgive our rudeness, Princess Sophia.”

“S-sorry.”

Shari’s noble behavior contrasts with Alan’s, making it amusing to watch.

“It’s okay. More importantly, I appreciate it. Even though you knew it could become a great sin, you still pushed forward. It’s something to be proud of. The students of the Noblesse Academy are truly wonderful people, as rumored.”

After Shari responded with a smile to those words, she glared at me again.

It’s like she’s saying, “Why do you know everything?” Well, it would be tough to be questioned here, so I turned away.

“Alan, details on the current situation.”

“Lilith has already joined Duke and is engaging in combat near the castle. Tula and Olin are assisting the citizens with evacuation.”

“I see. Until the full moon ends, there’s probably less than an hour left. The demon tribe is sure to launch an attack. Let’s not let our guard down until the end.”

At that moment, a massive transfer magic appeared in the sky.

Finally, they’ve come, I thought, but what emerged from there was a familiar and irritating monster.

“Dragon…”

Alan muttered softly. It reminds him of the past. Back then, we were desperate.

We barely managed to defeat it, exceeding the limits of our power.

But now it’s different.

I am, we are, stronger.

“Weiss.”

“Yeah, got it.”

“Shari, give Weiss and me your blessings.”

“Of course—”

While saying that, Shari lightly tapped our backs, granting us the protection of spirits.

Instantly, our bodies felt lighter.

It’s frustrating. She must have put in quite an effort too.

“I’m counting on you for Sophia.”

And then, Alan and I soared into the sky.

I used the unnatural wall, Unnatural, and Alan flew freely in the air.

Reaching simultaneously, the dragon spotted us and gathered flames in its throat.

That red flame was the color of despair that day.

But now it’s different. We can face it head-on.

—Haha, feeling growth is a bit amusing.

And the body remembers.

At what timing, and how much flame it spews.

“Alan—”

“Yeah, I got it!”

Simultaneously dispersing left and right, we attacked as if retracing that battle from that time.

The body moves. All my efforts up to now were not in vain.

Dodging the flames, both of us thrust our swords into the dragon’s head.

A deafening scream echoed, and the dragon fell.

After that, we fell too. Alan and I made eye contact and suddenly laughed.

We must be thinking the same thing.

That day, at that time, we were in a desperate situation.

But now it’s different. We defeated it with composure.

“Alan, how did you convince them?”

With my words, he seemed to understand. Eva, Milk, and Coco, he meant.

But he maintained his usual carefree smile.

“It was tough.”

“Haha, the ever-positive guy.”

However, Noblesse Oblige doesn’t allow such relief.

At that moment, I also learned the maliciousness beneath the pride of Noblesse.

Screams could be heard from each gate.

As I strained my eyes, I found someone possessing high magical power who seemed to be a pseudo-demon.

Finally, they’ve come.

But it didn’t end with just this.

Giant transfer magic appeared in the sky from five different locations, revealing feet below.

They appeared— the three of the Seven Catastrophic Sins, whom I had encountered in the first calamity.

The man with blond hair and refined features, Beefa.

The woman with cold eyes and brown hair, Sulth.

The large-bodied, angry black-haired man, Lakom.

No, even more than them. Those two.

There were two individuals possessing significantly stronger magical power.

And one of them looked exactly like someone I knew well.

Alan and Shari seemed to have noticed as well.

No, probably everyone in the Noblesse Academy present here must have noticed.

Silver hair in a straight hairstyle, translucent milky-white skin, a refined face reminiscent of a Western doll.

“—Is this Eva Avery?”

But on that head, there were black horns, the proof of a demon.

Illusion, magic, transformation, disguise—all denied by a monstrous appearance radiating exceptional magical power.

A development I had never seen in the original story.

But this is Noblesse, and this is the game I loved.

Despair after despair, that’s why the triumph when you conquer it is so moving.

—Come at me. No matter who the opponent is, I will defeat them without fail.
