Apparently, I’m a Childhood Friend of a Saint in the World of Light Novels, and When We Meet Again After a Few Years at School, She’s Turned into Some Kind of Yandere?
I guess I managed to get there in time……
I patted my chest in relief.
But I couldn’t afford to let my guard down and immediately confronted Phoenix.
“Charlotte, we’ll talk later. First, I’m going to take this guy down!”
“! ……Yes! I understand!”
Charlotte looked like she wanted to say something, but quickly swallowed it and changed to a tightened expression.
The enemy in front of me is stronger than anything I have ever fought before.
I strongly feel the pressure of a strong opponent like I did when I faced Hayman-san.
“Hrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!”
With a deafening cry, the phoenix approaches.
Now its beak is closing in.
With Charlotte behind me, I couldn’t pass it off as a bad shot.
I instantly made that decision and put all the strength I had into stopping it.
“Ugh──!”
However, the Phoenix’s power was so great that I was blown away in an instant.
I quickly took a passive stance and quickly stood up.
(How stupidly powerful is he? …… This is a foul play, isn’t it?)
Obviously, it is different.
It was the moment when the difference as a living thing was shown.
But that didn’t mean I could lose.
This time, I attacked!
I set my sights on the Phoenix, which kicked the ground and flew through the air.
“Water blessing!”
Charlotte chanted something in time with my attack.
A light blue light enveloped my body.
Power wells up from the depths of my body.
(Is this the blessing of the elements used by the saints? That’s an amazing effect!)
This is the auxiliary magic used by the saints in the novels.
It is a special magic that only saints can use, and its ability to increase changes depending on the type of element.
In the story, it’s still a long way off from being mastered, but at this point, I don’t have time to worry about it.
I’m going to concentrate on this one blow.
“Fall!”
As before, a sharp beak is coming at me.
Believing in Charlotte’s magic, I swung the sword as hard as I could without any tricks.
At that moment, the sword is covered with a blade of water and cuts the phoenix.
“GYAoooooooo!”
The phoenix falls with a loud scream.
How powerful is this magic? ……
I am surprised at the power of Charlotte’s supporting magic, but I don’t lose my mind.
Following the Phoenix, gravity pulls me down.
I land and immediately join Charlotte.
“Hrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”
The dust is blown away and I see the Phoenix again.
It looks a little wounded, but it doesn’t look seriously injured.
It’s still different from the demons I’ve fought up until now.
“Immortality’ is definitely worth the name. ……”
“You are strong. ……”
From this point on, a back-and-forth battle began.
When the Phoenix attacked, I kept blocking the claw and beak attacks, and Charlotte kept blocking the flames that it breathed out.
Then, when the attacks slowed down, we would counterattack.
However, our attacks were not effective and we were unable to defeat them.
Both sides lacked decisive moves, and the battle remained on an even keel.
After several exchanges of blows, the balance was broken.
(Damn …… Charlotte has reached her limit? ……)
Charlotte was on the verge of running out of magic power, or perhaps she was becoming quite pale.
I couldn’t let her fight any longer.
It’s a question of whether it’s okay to fight alone when two people are barely enough, but I’ve been training so that I can still fight.
More than anything else, I wanted to protect Charlotte.
As I was looking for a way to get Charlotte to leave, I saw someone out of the corner of my eye.
“Your Highness, Prince! Charlotte is at her limit! Please take Charlotte and evacuate to safety!”
“!? Alan-kun! I can still fight!”
Even so, I’m already dizzy.
I’ll definitely let Charlotte escape at least.
I don’t know why she hasn’t escaped, but the prince was still nearby.
I don’t want to rely on the prince, but at this point I have no choice.
“Don’t order me around commoner!”
Why …… at busy time like this!
I shouted as I fought to make sure that the phoenix’s target would be me.
“You must protect the saint! Quickly while I’m buying time!”
“Tsk. ……! Okay.”
The prince agreed with a cluck of his tongue.
I lead the phoenix farther away so that the prince can get closer to Charlotte.
I almost died a few times because it took many times more care than just fighting.
If it weren’t for the protection of the water blessing that Charlotte had given me, I would have been in danger.
“Charlotte! Let’s get out of here!”
“Let go of me! I can still fight! Let go of me!”
“No! Let’s go!”
Charlotte still intends to fight, but it seems that the prince have managed to protect her.
Soon the Kingsguard will be escorting the princes, and Charlotte will be safe now.
“Now, let’s settle this.”
I faced Phoenix again.
Both of our bodies were already in shambles.
But, perhaps because of the difference in our races, Phoenix’s body was still in better shape than mine.
“Hrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ！！！！”
“Let’s go!”
The second round of one-on-one combat between me and the Phoenix began.
However, I was heavily depleted and had no advantage in numbers, so there was no way I could win.
I was forced into a defensive position, and my wounds increased further as I was unable to defend myself.
I was hit by a claw blow and blown away.
“Haha,……, I guess this is as far as I…… go.”
My body has no more strength.
I couldn’t reverse my fate.
Although I was disappointed, the relief of being able to protect Charlotte was even greater.
“Be happy …… Charlotte …….”
The Phoenix was already right in front of me.
There was no more strength left to resist.
(Haha …… too strong, right? …… Why did you use a level of demon that could have come out of the demon king’s castle to assassinate the prince? …… Obviously, it’s excessive…….)
I think I’ll leave the tome of this demon to my master.
Just as the Phoenix’s claws were about to pierce my body…
“Defensive barrier!”
A white light appeared in front of my eyes and blocked the claw strike.
No way..!
I managed to turn around and there stood a gasping Charlotte.
“Haa …Haaa… don’t …… try to die ……”
Charlotte’s cheeks were streaked with tears.
“There is no happiness in a world without Alan-kun… I need Alan-kun to be with me… So please don’t try to die on your own!”
“…I’m sorry. I can’t defeat this guy anymore. So at least Charlotte can run away.”
“I will never run away. If Alan kun dies, I will die here too.”
Charlotte then began chanting.
“Blessing of the holy water.”
A white light surrounds my body.
My wounds heal and strength returns to my body.
This is …… no way higher magic!!?
“All that’s left …… please ……”
Charlotte collapses.
I couldn’t run
I can’t waste the power Charlotte has entrusted to me.
The efficacy is fading with each passing moment.
I have to settle this as soon as possible.
“I’m going to beat him and I’m going to survive! This is the last one!”
The final blow with everything on the line.
The Phoenix jumped up, circled and accelerated.
Is this his signature beak attack? ……
Aiming for the creature’s weak spot, the neck, even the Phoenix should not be able to manage a blow to the long, thin neck.
“I could do it.”
The beak, which is approaching at high speed, is parried with the belly of the sword.
I managed to sidestep the pressure, which was unparalleled up to now.
“My …… win!”
With all my might, I flash my sword.
At that moment, with the power of Charlotte’s water, a large amount of water blades appear from the air and pierce the Phoenix’s body.
And …… my sword slashed Phoenix’s neck.
Hahaha…… I almost died……
I turned around with my remaining strength, confirmed that Charlotte was safe, and collapsed on the spot.
The prince once again losses. Good
Ooooo the reincarnator prince shows his true color there
bro this prince is already making me mad
Bro Prince what are you even intended to do, you did nothing so far 😭
The prince just doing his duty, and he is born into a politician circle so I would give him some slack but I wouldn’t pick him for a world hero! As who know what would happen after he save the world?
wtf, it hadn’t any teacher to help?
Get used to it. Teachers are non existent in Japanese novels. Students saving the school/world/whatever while teachers are never there.
