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 - Chapter 252: A Mysterious Strong Enemy

Chapter 252: A Mysterious Strong Enemy

A little west of the Wizard Kingdom.

Deep in the forest, where many ferocious monsters live.

This was supposed to be where the Magic Power-Enhancing Hot Spring existed.

—At least, that was the expectation.

“Lord Weiss, is it really here?”

“It should be around this area. Let’s look again tomorrow when it’s bright.”

“But camping like this is fun too!”

Even after searching, they couldn’t find it.

However, Lilith could still ride her broom without any issues, and Cynthia’s gemstone was working fine.

I also tried out my broom, and it turned out to be a perfect match for me.

Right now, we are camping in the forest.

We’ll take turns keeping watch by the campfire until morning.

I’ve done similar survival training in Noblesse before.

I’m not worried, but I don’t want to leave empty-handed without any clues.

Our vacation is almost over.

Since we’ve come all this way, both of us probably want to return to the academy feeling satisfied.

“Mmm, this meat is delicious! It’s cooked perfectly!”

Lilith handed me a skewer of roasted pig (or something like one) that she had hunted earlier in the evening.

I already knew from class that she was strong in the dark and had great survival skills.

This is something I should learn from her.

“Thank you, Lilith. And you too, Cynthia.”

“Oh my, I haven’t done anything. Lilith did everything.”

“No, I mean just coming along with me like this.”

I’m really grateful.

They’re sticking with me without complaining, even though this is just my selfish request.

I had planned to soak in the hot spring and take my time talking about everything that had happened.

It’s easier to talk when both the body and mind are relaxed.

But if we can’t find the spring, there’s no point.

Maybe now is the best time instead.

The two of them are waiting silently.

I can’t keep relying on them forever—

“Lilith, Cynthia.”

“Yes?”

“What is it?”

At that moment, I felt an overwhelming surge of magic power.

It was stronger than anything I had seen, even at the academy.

And it was very close.

An enemy appeared out of nowhere? No, that didn’t seem likely.

More like the power level suddenly spiked—wait.

“The Magic Power-Enhancing Hot Spring… There’s no mistake. Forget dinner for now. Let’s go!”

“Understood!”

“Let’s stay sharp. This magic power… it’s incredible.”

Lilith and Cynthia mounted their brooms.

I stood up on my staff like Sierra.

It’s an advanced technique, but I’ve trained hard enough not to fall so easily.

Besides, it just looks cooler this way.

I almost lost my balance a few times, but I refused to back down.

We soared high into the sky, heading toward the magic power.

But then—

“Get back!”

In the next instant, a massive blast of magic shot up from below.

Its density was on par with Karta’s magic power.

Impossible.

If that had hit us directly, we would have been done for.

This isn’t just a peaceful side episode.

There’s a strong enemy here—one that could rival the main story.

“We’re going all out.”

The two of them nodded silently, their magic power flaring to its maximum.

There’s a major difference between this battle and a training exercise.

There’s no time limit.

A real battle shouldn’t be dragged out.

Focus everything into one strike and finish it.

We haven’t even seen the enemy’s face yet, but they’ve already given us an aggressive greeting.

Then it’s only fair that we return the favor.

“Prepare yourselves—One Hit Kill!”

“Ice Lance!”

“Wind Piercer!”

I unleashed my strongest attack.

Cynthia followed up.

Lilith reinforced her throwing knives with magic and launched a new technique.

Our attacks shot forward with incredible speed.

There’s no way anyone could block—

What the hell!?

—BOOOOM!

Right before impact, a massive defense shield appeared, covering a wide area.

It was just as strong as ours, if not stronger.

I was too shocked to speak.

As I stood frozen, a dark shadow floated toward us.

And then, I realized who it was.

“Oh? Look who it is—our adorable juniors. Sorry about that. The hot spring felt so good that I kinda… let loose.”

“What… are you doing?”

“You don’t know? This hot spring feels amazing.”

“L-Lord Weiss, don’t look! You can’t look!”

“Weiss, are your eyes closed?”

“Uh, um… well…”

If I close my eyes now, what if she attacks? That makes me nervous.

But I understand why they’re both trying to stop me.

“…Eva-senpai.”

“Yes?”

“Can you put on some clothes…?”

“Hehe, you’re so cute. But I can’t right now. My clothes are down there.”

In front of me stood Eva Avery—her well-endowed, completely naked form.

…I didn’t expect her to look this amazing without clothes.

This must be… an unreleased secret.

Not bad.

“Weiss, are your eyes really closed?”

…Though, I might not live much longer.
