Chapter 33: The MC Saves The Day I

"Don't move! None of you should move!! He's not someone you can deal with!!" The Knight shouted at the other Knights who raised their sword as my golden armour illuminated the darkness.

"I sense that you are a very strong person. If possible, I don't want to clash swords with you, why are you here?" He asked politely.

<Stupid Ed! How dare you try to evade a battle! What is my mantra.. ?!> His vassal weapon shouted at him.

"Let's keep it down, we can talk about this later Okita... " He whispered back.

Watching them was a little bit funny, but did I just hear him say, Okita, which sounded Japanese I thought, taking extra measures to observe.

But he wasn't going to say no more, "If you are not talking does it mean you are going to attack." He said, pointing his sword vertically at me, and taking a particularly unique stance.

'...that's a weird stance for a fantasy world...a samurai stance.'

His right leg was pushed out a bit and about a shoulder-length apart his left was away from it, the hand holding the sword was pointed outwards while the other hand supported from below.

It wasn't exactly the same, but somehow, I knew it was some rip-off from kendo. Perhaps it was omni ingenio that was at work.

~Whish~

My feet spurted forward before he could take his next step, the mask red eyes glimmered wider at the speed at which I was already in front of him.

'No doubt, this shit enhances my movement too' but the Knight in front of me was in a greater state of shock than I. His shoulder shivered as my hand covered his face.

"Sleep"

Upon my words, he fell to the ground. The other Knights seeing this did not care about the instruction given to them and dashed at me but it wasn't hard, I didn't need to move, I could decide to be careless and cast the sleep magic on all of them. But that would be no fun, right as the first dashed at me I flipped over touching his head and cast the sleep spell on him before landing, upon landing the next one lunged his sword at me, a straight kick was enough to send his sword stuck into the roof of the dungeon and him flying, simultaneously two of them attack from the opposite side.

Not wanting unnecessary movement because I wanted to dodge them I stretched out both of my hands and grabbed their heads, their sword was blasted away before reaching me, it was like returning the force of their attack, it made me think of the Knight from earlier must be quite strong since he was able to withstand the force of his attack and not get thrown away. However, my grip on these prevented them from being blasted away by the force.

"Double casting; sleep"

Immediately the two of them stopped resisting and upon releasing my grip on them they fell to the ground. Oh, and did I forget to mention, that I was levitating.

The three of them stood in front of me, below me, with their legs shaking. I levitated over to the one I had kicked earlier, even though he had passed out, I had to be thorough any mistakes would allow my ability to be seen, not even Avery must know. Those were my thoughts as I cast sleep on him. And faced the other three and slowly landed on the ground, they turned to make a run for it but they were slow.

~Whoosh~

Going through them with red sparks flying around me, I arrived in front of them and touched the first two in front, "Double casting; sleep"

Both of them fell to the ground and zzz-ed off.

"Are you going to kill me..." I shook my head at his cowardice, even though his hands were tightly gripping the sword, his legs kept moving backwards. I touched his head and cast sleep on him.

"Tsk, they are all average, is this the strength of our dukedom's Knights?" I was shocked at my voice, it was distorted and was like that of a mature demon. I couldn't be more happier that I own this wonderful item. I crossed my hands behind my back and slowly resumed levitating. After gaining my stability in the air, I zoomed off like that, towards the room I was sensing Avery's presence from.

"My lady, we can always look for the crest, we should focus on opening the treasure room door, the vassal weapon could get pissed," Marrok said to Avery who was now making a big deal about my crest she had lost.

"Why can't we go back and find it?!" She yelled and was utterly displeased. 'What if that was supposed to help me with my plan, he wouldn't just give me for nothing. How could I lose that'

"My lady, we can't go back, we might lose the treasure room and it won't be open to us anymore because we let it go the first time," Simeone replied.

She sighed, 'How am I supposed to do this ...the moment they find out about the treasures, and I won't be able to secretly purchase peerage because father will surely monitor my spending.' She bit her nails unintentionally as she worried.

"My lady, are you perhaps worried about something else?" Simeone observing her actions asked.

<You morons!! What have you brought to my dungeon?!!> They suddenly heard the vassal weapon's voice.

"I don't quite follow..." Marrok said, he looked at Avery, "My lady I think we are running out of time." He said hurrying her. At this point she could not delay anymore, she just had to accept her goals have failed. Her countenance fell but she was at least delighted that if things go right, she would legally become a prima.

'I can always get another dungeon and do it, let's be optimistic.' She thought as she slowly went for the large door and placed her hand on it.

Even with the height and heaviness, all that was needed was a light push, as the doors began to open. Simeone's eyes suddenly widened, his eyeballs thinned in and shool as he hesitantly looked back.

"Hi!" I said, waving my hand at my sister, there was no way she would have been able to sense my semblance the way Simeone did because I hid it, the fact that only him out of the three that stood could sense it meant he was the strongest, 'Then I should deal with him first.'

I stretched my hand forward, "Restriction" Seven golden magic circles appeared behind me and out of them came chains that dashed towards him, he swung his sword but before he could finish swinging the chains wrapped tightly around him. Swiftly flew towards him and cast the sleep on him.

I looked at the other two who did not waste any moment and lunged at me. I stretched out my hand, pushing out ars praesidium a bit further and making him get thrown onto the wall when he had barely run five steps. I floated towards him.

"Sleep"

I faced the other,

He arrogantly dispersed his ether, which meant he was getting ready to get serious or better still use a skill.

"Oi Goshujin, brace yourself, this will be different..." Anastasia said, I found it very weird, she of all people knew how strong I was but she was telling me to... the sudden pressure attracted my attention.

The ether wrapped his body and his overall appearance began to change.

'Fusion...' My mind leapt with excitement at the sight of it. The ability to manifest the vassal weapon's true form. Who knew this one would be quick to make decisive choices?
