She Professed Herself The Pupil of The Wisemen

V1 ch19

The flower field with a white pillar standing in the middle of it. With that field in the back, Mira faced against the Cockatrice and the Lesser Demon.

"Damn you and your shrewd tricks."

The moment she thought the combat would start the enemy escaped, so she overtook them and faced them again, standing with her back turned towards the field. With that said, it was not like she managed to do it with ease, it was thanks to her equipment and the terrain.

Among equipment Mira was wearing there were many that held special powers, and of course her running speed was also improved by them. Also, the Cockatrice had problems running at full speed inside the forest, and was thankfully unable to leap.

Mira stood fairly far ahead of them and had recovered her confident position. She summoned three more black knights and positioned them as to surround the Cockatrice.

Including the two that stood by Mira's side, there were a total of five black knights existing in that place. Seeing them clad in overwhelming aura, standing like revenants, the Lesser Demon glared at them with irritation. He was certain that Cockatrice was capable of shaking off black knights. And certainly, black knights were not capable of catching up to the Cockatrice. And yet, they were here with their numbers increased. The Lesser Demon regretted that he judged Mira by her appearance, but he did not give up yet.

He pointed with his finger at Mira and yelled. Immediately after, the Cockatrice's eye was filled with madness and letting out a scream it started running towards Mira. The beast's legs gouged soil, sending dense green grass into air. Naturally, the huge body had a huge mass which could blow away majority of things by just moving.

However, neither the Cockatrice's talons nor its beak had reached Mira.

Although its legs were protected by tough scales, deep wounds have been engraved in them and the huge body tilted forward. Black knights in the surroundings aimed at its legs alone and slashed both of them.

("There is nothing more annoying than a charge when you have something to protect behind you...")

Mira instantly made a decision and ordered the Dark Knights. Because she did not know how tough the Cockatrice's legs were, she had all of them attack. As a result she succeeded and the Cockatrice was no longer capable of charging.

Currently, with its injured legs it was unable to support its large mass and had dragged them behind as it moved back.

However, that moment, inside the corner of Mira's vision in a place where it was easy to miss him, the Lesser demon had leaped off the Cockatrice and started running towards the flower field.

("Nhm, he used Cockatrice as bait.")

Using the Cockatrice's body for hiding, the Lesser Demon moved to a distant location intending to arrive at his destination forcibly, before Mira had noticed.

The Lesser Demon was a several meters away from reaching his goal, certain that he will reach it he let out that annoying, jarring laughter and turned his face towards Mira to show off his obscene, overjoyed expression.

However, Mira only turned her face towards him and did not move. No, there was no need to move. They already predicted that the Lesser Demon's objective was that flower field. Although they did not know what did he intend to do there, it certainly was not anything good. But there was one thing they knew, they knew that they just had to stop him from entering the flower field.

A single gust of wind roared through the plain. It enveloped a pure black and menacing shape.

The laughing voice that sounded in the surroundings stopped at once. The next instant, a scream dyed with hatred filled the surroundings. However, that lasted only a moment as it soon was silenced.
