Sucht Pov
My life is very easy and enjoyable because I am able to assist my young master in resolving the issues that trouble him on a daily basis.
If I am successful, my young master will reward me with something that I crave very much, and that is...
"I'll bother you again today, Sucht."
I suddenly became aware of princess Alice walking in front of me, at which point I refocused my attention and said.
"Don't worry about it, Princess."
Yes, Princess Alice shouldn't be concerned because I won't allow anyone to interfere with the important business of the young master. Also, because the young master promised something to me last night, that's another reason why I really want to resolve this matter as quickly as possible.
"Wait a minute, Princess Alice, the Patriarch, is not at home right now. Is it possible for the princess to return the following day?"
Reported a nervous-looking servant who had sweat dripping down his forehead at the time, and it would appear that Princess Alice had the same line of thinking as I did because, all of a sudden, Princess Alice cast a spell that instantly charred the poor servant to the point where he looked like charcoal.
After that, the princess turned her body so that she faced me and Sascha, who was standing next to me, while directing her gaze toward us.
"We do not have the luxury of free time we did yesterday. So, therefore, kill everyone you come across."
After she told me that, Princess Alice turned around and was walking into the house, I couldn't help but give a reassuring smile to myself because everything had turned out exactly how I had anticipated it would.
Inside, I can already make out more than 30 soldiers, all of whom have levels of 35 or higher. Behind these soldiers, I can also make out the Patriarch and his family, all of whom are wearing terrified expressions as they watch Princess Alice enter the room.
In contrast to the previous Raupe noble family, this noble family did not flee and instead chose to stay. Although I do not know their motivations, the fact that they stayed at home certainly made it much simpler for me to eliminate each family member.
"Princess Alice, I am willing to take responsibility and be punished according to the rules of this empire, therefore..."
But before the Patriarch could finish his words, an extremely menacing laugh could be heard coming from Sascha, who was currently seen running while holding a short sword in both of her hands.
Sascha immediately jumped up and kicked one of the soldiers in the head after running up to the line of soldiers that the Patriarch had assembled as a last resort.
After that, Sascha quickly thrust the magical short sword in her hands into the neck of one of the soldiers who wasn't prepared for Sascha's surprise attack by making a slight maneuver to the right. Sascha's attack caught the soldier off guard.
As a result of Sascha's unexpected assault, a level 35 soldier tragically lost their life.
The broad smile on Sascha's face was visible to everyone, and it caused her opponents to experience a slight tremor. However, despite this, they continued to prepare themselves and took their weapons into their hands.
Meanwhile, another enemy magus was currently preparing to cast a ranged attack spell, and when they had finished casting the spell, they immediately released their magic at Princess Alice.
I could see a lump that, if I'm not mistaken, contains poison that can corrode anything it comes into contact with. In addition, I could see various flashes of light that filled the ceiling, including fire arrows, ice arrows, and others.
Analyzing that, I moved slowly in front of princess Alice and casting a protective spell, a large transparent shield materialized in front of me. This shield protected both Princess Alice and me from the enemy's ranged magic attacks.
"Then, princess, I will assist Sascha, who is currently fighting on the front line."
I said as I signalled to the female soldiers who were in charge of protecting Princess Alice. They were responsible for her safety.
I started walking towards Sascha after I saw the soldiers creating a barrier around Princess Alice. Meanwhile, at that point, Sascha was still killing enemies right and left.
I could tell that Sascha's stamina was running low because she was already gasping for air, even though she did not appear to be bothered when she was facing the enemy on her own.
I started running and dashed so quickly that the enemy was utterly unaware I was even there.
Without further ado, I immediately clawed at one of the enemy soldiers until the bone was almost cut off because, without other people realizing it, I already had some gloves with sharp claws that contained powerful magic.
Therefore, it didn't matter how tough their armour was. All it took was one claw from me, and I could see the enemies' ribs cracking open and bleeding out immediately.
I was able to easily tear their defences to pieces while they were in the midst of the chaos that Sascha had caused, and by the time they came to their senses, it was too late.
After that, not too much longer, a fairly large ice ball fell in the middle of the enemy soldiers who were gathering, and as soon as the ice ball fell, the enemy closest to the ice ball immediately began to freeze little by little.
And although I didn't bother to look, I was already aware that the powerful magic originated from Princess Alice, who was currently in a position to cast her long-range spells unhindered by anyone who might try to stop her.
Even though they put up a fight, it was clear from the beginning that the death of the enemy soldiers was inevitable. The number of enemy soldiers began to decrease on a gradual basis.
It would appear that the Patriarch is aware of the conclusion that is right in front of his eyes, and because of this, he makes the decision to flee with his family through the back lane.
But there was no way I was going to allow that to happen, so I closed my eyes and chanted a magical spell called "chain lighting."
After I had finished casting the spell, I opened my eyes, and all of a sudden, blue light emanated from my eyes, and sparks of blue light spread to the region of my legs.
Immediately, it seemed as though a bolt of blue lightning had appeared in the room, and in the next instant, a blue flash was seen passing through the enemy's forces at a speed that the human eye could not perceive. As a result, all that could be seen as a blue flash that resembled lightning ripping to the right and left.
Following that, I arrived in front of the Patriarch and his family, who were currently surprised to see my unexpected arrival. At my feet, there are still a few little blue electric sparks that occasionally appear.
"Hold on just a second, release my loved ones... they have nothing to do with..."
I, who did not want to listen to the Patriarch's chatter, immediately stabbed his chest with the tips of my claws, and then I firmly pulled it again so that the Patriarch's chest was torn apart with blood, and organs were thrown all over the place.
After seeing the Patriarch of the family leave this world in front of them, his family is currently in a state of terror and is screaming, but I just smiled as I said.
"It's too bad because if you were just a little bit younger, I'm positive the young master would have accepted you into the Geist Legion."
After that, I used my claws to crush their bodies viciously, and a mother and her three adult children—two boys and one girl—died quickly in my hands.
"too bad."
I couldn't help but shake my head as I made my way back to the side of princess Alice in a flash of blue lightning.
After that, I gave the order to the female troops who had been protecting princess Alice earlier to assist Sascha in eliminating the remaining enemy troops.
Following that, Princess Alice and I took our positions on the sidelines so that we could observe Sascha and the other female soldiers carrying out the massacre against the opposing forces.
