Chapter-52
—--------------
After coming outside the castle to an open area I thought of waiting here but then I thought it must be more fun to watch after all it's been a while since I saw an actual battle between similar power levels even though Grayfia is low in power level but still, she makes up for it by her refined techniques
"Kaisel" As I said this, kaisel rose up from my shadow while I supported Aria, so that she wouldn't fall and then guided kaisel to take us to the battlefield
'Comeback' I command this since the battleground is already empty and filled with my shadow soldiers, not to mention now I don't have to repeatedly 'Arise' the dead to make my shadow soldiers
So now this entire battlefield is filled with only my shadow army and it's better to clean up and get a better view
With that command I quickly took all the shadows back into my own shadow, seeing this scene which probably should be scary for a kid like her, didn't even blink while looking
I guess she getting used to it which is good since it will help her to get causal around me and not be cautious
Anyway after taking all the shadows back, I command kaisel to go where Grayfia fighting that guy which seems almost come to an end conclusion
On the way, we saw broken monuments and buildings as we flew more, a black shadow figure flew towards us at high speed
"My Liege!!!!" That shadow figured was Beru said who didn't return when I called all of my shadows but now he is in holding my legs while shredding tears of… joy
"Beru are you happy now?" I asked this as I slowed down kaisel since because of the sudden appearance of Beru, she startled and started to lose her balanced
"Very much but my Liege can I kill that insect too?" Beru replied this I'm a begging voice while he looked up at me with his big teary eyes
I guess I underestimated his bloodlust since killing that many creatures wasn't enough or he is still holding a grudge against that guy who treated me like nobody and wants to tear him apart for that
"*sigh* no, go back" I refused Beru since it would ruin her challenge which would help her to grow many times more than my sparing my shadows or me
Anyway, after reaching the area, I saw their fight come to an end conclusion…
On Grayfia's side, she has numerous minor injuries but foruntanaly she seems to take any serious injuries
On the other hand, that guy has numerous cuts and slashes on his body which are clearly visible
I guess this guy doesn't have any healing skills maybe because of his arrogance or it could be that nobody was able to damage him before because of how tough his skin is
But unluckily for him, grayfia is his opponent who has created a sword by condensing her energy to the maximum which is more than enough to penetrate his skin
Also adding Grayfia's refined techniques to use her weapons is a huge disadvantage to him who fights by only using brute force
Both are looking exhausted, I guess this battle will be over soon and the next blow will be to decide the battle outcome
I looked down and saw Aria looking at this scene with her big red eyes and a serious expression, well I could guess she was nervous for Grayfia
Anyway back to the scene, grayfia was staring at him waiting for his next move while that guy who I don't even know the name has an expression of a disbelief
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" He suddenly shouted out of nowhere, maybe out of frustration
Maybe he is frustrated about the fact that the person he thought of as an insect now defeating him or he just going insane about the fact that someone is injuring him
Well he did underestimate Grafiya, she previously was only defence because she needed to protect someone and make sure to injure that person also she was fighting multiple enemies at the same time which is her weakness
But against a single opponent, she can fight many times better than before, her sword even though consumes too much but also gives her high attacking power in return which is worth it, especially in the hands of Grayfia
"WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!" He continues to shout in madness as Grayfia shows this as an opening for herself
She quickly strikes towards his chest with everything she got in that attack as she pierced through its chest with her sword with ease maybe because he was not focused enough to evade or even increase his defences
'Is it over?' I said this in my mind seeing Grayfia sigh of relief as she took her sword out of his chest, leaving his dead body on the ground
I looked down and saw Aria also looking at the scene with the same expression but this time, she has a small smile on her face which is enough to tell that she is happy at that moment
'Wait? What was that?' I questioned this to myself as I felt sudden energy fluctuation in his body and without any delay, I quickly used the ruler's authority and pulled Grayfia from the ground to kaisel since if I didn't then she probably would get a serious injury
"NO YET!!!!" This scream came out of that guy's body on the ground suddenly burst out far more energy than before as his body started to change again but this time it was on a different scale
I first safely landed Grayfia on Kaisel's back as I heal her body since her body is not in good condition right now
She looks stunned after arriving here suddenly but as she looks towards me, she calms down
"What's going on, master?" Grayfia stands up from her place and comes near me while she looks down And sees what's happening right now
