After leaving Diablo and Co. behind, I blitzed towards where Milim was.
Milim's furious attacks, rained down upon the silver haired angel.
Each and every one of those attacks were deflected away by the shield of "Castle Guard".
Thinking back, when Rudra used the ability, I don't seem to recall it being able to deflect or reflect attacks....
《It is possible that the ability was originally meant to be a "commander" type skill.
As it was a skill used by someone who didn't need to directly attack, there was no need for that effects.
Chances are, alterations are being made to the skill by that person.
Making changes as required by the situation, you could think of it as something more "flexible" now.》
(Hmm? You mean, she has an ability that’s similar to yours?)
《――mmm.
Though there's no way to say for sure, the possibility that it may be an evolved skill cannot be denied either.》
Fumu.
If it really is an evolved skill then this isn't all too unbelievable.
But if that's the case, the silver haired angel would be the avatar of 『Justice King Michael』's ego.
If Rudra losing control really was caused by intervention from Justice King Michael, this might not be impossible after all.
The problem now, would be how capable it is.
If it had calculation power and freedom that is on par with Ciel, it would make for a pretty nasty opponent to deal with.
(What do you think? Is it an existence on the same level as you?)
《Fu. As if.》
Woah!?
Did Ciel-sensei just totally deny that statement?
Plus, that haughtiness. Makes me wonder where she learned how to show such expressions.
Also she seems to be somehow giving off an air of belittling the opposition. It kinda feels like the aura of some bigshot.
Somehow, that feels mighty reassuring.
Well, I understood what Ciel was trying to say. "Don't lump me in together with 'that'!" would be it.
(Does that mean, you know how to neutralize opponents that have "Castle Guard"?)
I tried probing without expectations,
《Of course. Regarding that, I have put together a plan.》
She nonchalantly replies, quite matter of factly.
I had no words for how amazing she is.
Could it be, that I'm actually kinda unneeded? Though such thoughts ran through the back of my head, that is definitely not the case.
This is where I need to protect my dignity, and humbly accept the facts.
(I wouldn't expect any less. I believed! Always believed you'd easily crack this "Castle Guard" problem!)
Regardless of what I "believed", this was an ability that Velda would have had anyway, which we would be able to overcome by eliminating Velda's underlings. That was what I thought anyway.... At this point, it's not much of an issue now.
