I Was Deemed a Worthless Saint Without a Level-Up Blessing and Was Sent Off to Marry a Neighboring Country, but It Turns Out My Blessing Was Actually Level Cap Removal - Episode 13

Ignoring the trembling Ferulina who gasped in shock, Alvent stood up quickly with a stern expression.

“Disembark in pairs and take them out one by one! Never overextend! I’m going out too! Robes, get your sword! Nanette and Chelsea, guard the wagon!”

Alvent, who had given orders in a loud voice, turned to look at the trembling Ferulina.

“I won’t do anything that puts you in danger. I’ll take care of it, so wait for me in the carriage.”

As soon as he was told, Alvent opened the carriage door and jumped out.

“Your Highness!”

Alvent caught the great sword that Robes had thrown with one hand. The great sword, fitting for Alvent’s massive frame, was drawn with the sound of the sheath sliding, and the polished blade gleamed as it reflected the faint dappled sunlight.

“Whether it’s a mutant or whatever, it’s convenient that they attack. I’ll make them realize right away that they’ve misjudged their prey.”

The voice, which was far more ferocious than the growl of the Fangwolf, sent shivers down my spine.

“The Cursed Gray Bear of Gobules”

In the past few days, the forgotten nickname resurfaces in my mind. Rather than being frightened in front of the pack of Fangwolves, Alvent, who joyfully readies his sword, is like a bear facing its prey.

(Scary…! But this isn’t the time to be trembling!)

Ferulina, who had been intimidated by the oppressive atmosphere, desperately urged herself on.

(Calm down, calm down, me…! This is just like any other hunt, just with more and stronger enemies…!)

As if clinging desperately, I place my hand on the carriage door and push it open.

“Lady Ferulina!? It’s dangerous!”

“I’ll protect you, so please come inside~!”

Without even having time to respond to the panicked voices of the Nanette in front of the carriage, I take a deep breath to steady myself and weave the spell. The spell I cast is a holy attribute magic that boosts defense.

“Wha, what is this…!?”

The knights who had already begun fighting the Fangwolf suddenly gasped in surprise at the golden light enveloping their bodies.

However, the seasoned knights seemed to instinctively sense that the magic cast was not malevolent. After only a brief moment of hesitation, they faced the monsters without any doubt.

In the battle between the Fangwolf and the knights, the knights are outnumbered. However, they skillfully use tactics to distract and reposition themselves, allowing two knights to fight against one Fangwolf. Additionally, the presence of a single mage in the knight order, who uses earth magic to hinder the Fangwolf, is significant. Above all.

“Haaah!”

With the fierce battle cry of “Reppaku,” Alvent’s great sword cleaves the Fangwolf that lunged at him in a single stroke.

Bl00d splatters across Alvent’s body as the Fangwolf’s flesh, now a mangled mass, falls to the ground.

Even if it wasn’t a mutated species, the Fangwolf’s level should have been at least ten. To defeat it with a single swing of a great sword without even casting a power-up spell is…

However, this is not the time to be impressed. After casting a defense-boosting spell on all the knights, Ferulina immediately starts layering an attack-boosting spell.

At the same time, I must not neglect to check if any knights are injured. The mage accompanying us this time is skilled in earth and water attribute magic, but I have heard they cannot use holy attribute magic. Even though we have potions, we cannot drink them during battle.

If there is an injured knight, it is Ferulina’s duty to heal them.

The Fangwolf must have understood that the greatest threat within the knight order is Alvent. The monsters gather before Alvent.

Facing the Fangwolf at a certain distance, Alvent shows no signs of panic. The sight of him holding his great sword with both hands, standing ready without a hint of carelessness, is one of the most reassuring backs to behold from behind.

Grrrrr, the Fangwolves, true to their name, growl warily from their mouths filled with sharp fangs.

Leading the pack is a mutated Red Fang Wolf with fiery red fur, significantly larger than the others.

The Red Fang Wolf, which is as large as a calf, braces its limbs against the ground, poised to pounce at any moment, and just watching it makes my knees feel weak with fear.

However, Alvent, who stands ready with his great sword without any sign of carelessness, remains composed. The fact that the surrounding knights are not flustered is likely thanks to Alvent’s calm demeanor as their leader.

A pack of fang wolves led by a mutated species could have potentially wiped out the knights of the Klein Kingdom. However, the knights of the Gobules Kingdom had already reduced the pack’s numbers by about half. None of them were seriously injured.

Amidst the taut tension, as Ferulina held her breath and watched, the Red Fang Wolf suddenly moved.

Just when it seemed like its powerful limbs were bending like springs, it lunged at Alvent with a growl that would make the faint-hearted faint.

Imagining the massive body the size of a calf looming over Alvent, Ferulina almost let out a scream. However.

Alvent dodges with minimal movement while simultaneously swinging the great sword.

Gyaaan! The Red Fang Wolf let out a scream, and its massive body, now on the ground, trembled. Its left hind leg was stained with bl00d, more red than its fur.

The earth mage’s earth magic immediately strikes the Red Fang Wolf, whose movements have become sluggish. The earth moves as if it were alive, entangling the hind leg of the uninjured side.

Alvent won’t miss that opportunity.

The great sword slices through the wind as it approaches the Red Fang Wolf. However, the opponent is not defenseless either. It swings its foreleg, armed with sharp claws.

Legs as thick as tree trunks would be devastating if taken head-on.

However, Alvent not only dodges but also steps further in.

What reached Ferulina’s ears, who reflexively shut her eyes tightly, was the scream of the Red Fang Wolf, followed by the heavy sound of something large crashing to the ground.

What came into view as I opened my eyes trembling with fear was the massive body of the Red Fang Wolf lying on the ground and the figure of Alvent standing without a single injury.

“Now, press the attack! Don’t let a single one escape!”

“Understood!”
“Hey! Don’t lose to the captain!”

The knights respond with a shout to Alvent’s command.

It must be because they lost their pack leader. The knights, now boosted in morale, are taking down the Fangwolves, who are lacking their usual vigor, two against one.

In contrast, the two Fangwolves at the back of the pack, frightened, try to flee. However, Alvent is not one to let them escape.

“Robes! You’re on the right!”

As Alvent, who had cut into the herd, raised his voice, Robes’ arrow, which he had switched from his sword to his bow, pierced the leg of one beast trying to escape.

Meanwhile, Alvent, who had slain the Fangwolf on the left side with a single stroke, took down the other one, which had been slowed by an arrow, with a swift counterattack.

That was the last Fangwolf.

A war cry rises among the knights.

The tension snapped at the resounding voices filled with joy, and Ferulina slumped weakly at the carriage door.

“Lady Ferulina!?”

“Are you okay!?”

Nanette and Chelsea, who had been on guard on either side of the carriage, sheathed their swords and hurried over, looking flustered.

“I’m, I’m fine… Just a little bit of a breather…”

“Ferulina!?”

To drown out Ferulina’s voice, Alvent’s scream echoes through the air.

“What’s wrong!? What happened!? Are you hurt or something…!?”

Dashing towards the wagon at a speed even faster than when facing the Fangwolf, Alvent suddenly stops just a few steps short of the wagon, as if coming to his senses.

Bl00d splatters scattered across the fierce visage, as if to hide the wound on the left cheek. It’s not just the face. The dark gray hair and the leather armor are also splattered with bl00d.

It looked just like a gray bear tearing apart the entrails of its prey――.

The moment she saw Alvent covered in bl00d, Ferulina jumped off the carriage. Desperately moving her tangled legs, she ran towards Alvent.

“Ferulina!?”

Alvent, eyes wide in shock, instinctively tries to step back. However, Ferulina’s outstretched hand grabs his sleeve faster.
