A Girl Who Was Told "You Have No Talent" Turned Out To Be A Talented Monster - Chapter 82.3
“Over there! There’s something there!”
Aquaria was troubled on what to do about the approaching knights. She thought about the possibility of being treated as a monster to be defeated.
Of course, there was no way she would lose, but Kuufa, her master, would surely not want that.
“Really…she’s such a handful of a master. I don’t know why I chose her too…. I guess the shark man has a valid point…”
While blurting this out, Aquaria was thinking about that outburst. Even though it was an outburst, that moment was the only time that Kuufa had nearly drawn out Aquaria’s full power.
That reminded Aquaria of all those people she had refused to contract with. They were great magicians who could move the times, or wise men who were unique in the world.
All of them were far superior to Kuufa. And yet she didn’t like them.
Yes, they were missing something. And above all, there was something they were inferior to Kuufa.
“Successful self-taught summoning technique. And now the link rate…. Maybe someday it will reach over 100%?”
“Oi! Are you a demon?
“No, no… I’m Aquaria.”
“A, aquaria…”
The knights thought for a moment and remembered the name. The existence of this famous spirit was engraved in the minds of the knights.
But what was important to them was whether it was friend or foe.
“…We have no intention to fight. Can we have a discussion?”
“Yes, yes, I also think the same.”
If they were enemies, the Knights would have to make the worst possible choice. No one wanted to fight with Aquaria who was well known as a high ranking water spirit.
***
Griza was one of Grand Shark’s members who, like Kobanza, was trying to escape from the eyes of the Knights.
He was second only to Josu in fighting ability, but he was no match for the Knights in their pursuit.
He tried to flee from them by going around corners, but they gradually closed the distance between them. There were several of them in different directions.
As he was being cut off from the path of retreat, a figure stood in front of him.
In the darkness, he could only vaguely make out a full image of the figure. He was wearing a white robe and hood, and had a slender physique.
Griza could not make out its expression, but he judged it to be a pursuer and immediately tried to take it out.
“Get out of the way!”
“…Poor thing.”
It was a beautiful voice that echoed in his brain. The comfort of it caused Griza to stand still.
“You have sinned. That is very unforgivable.”
“What the heck, man…”
The white hooded figure moved close to Griza and stroked his cheek. Griza couldn’t move, even though his opponent’s arm felt as if it could be broken with a little squeeze.
“Do you want to be saved?”
“Don’t be stupid…”
“Over there! No… there’s someone there?!”
The white hooded figure was staring only at Griza as the knights, who had noticed the two figures, closed in on them.
Griza hardly had any time to think. He was in a situation where either the knights would catch him, or he would have to cling to the unknown figure to help him. There was no other choice.
“Help me…!”
“Yes, of course…”
“Hey! You two…”
As soon as the knights reached them, the white hooded man and Griza vanished. Even though it was an inexplicable phenomenon, the knights, who had fought many battles in the past, did not let their guard down.
They judged it to be a sign of an attack. But no matter how long they waited, the silence of the night only continued.
“…Report to Captain Luciole.”
Unperturbed, the platoon commander’s men promptly made their next move. It was a phenomenon that would make one want to tilt their head in confusion, but the captain’s men didn’t stop to think at all.
