Chapter 74: 15 years old Inglis and Chiral's Royal Knight Academy (24)
「What’s with you…… The subspace has no effect on you at all……!!」 「Oh, it does. However, you must know that mana isn’t everything. Power comes in many forms.」
Ether battle techniques were usable. As Inglis had guessed, this space was incapable of disrupting Ether movement.
「Kgh…… that’s b̲u̲l̲l̲s̲h̲i̲t̲, what else can——」 「Now, bring us back to our previous space. Otherwise, I’ll take you down. Both Rani and Leone are in trouble, you see.」
Rafinha and Leone were fighting teeth and nails to protect the Prime Minister from the preying Magic Stone Beasts. They were struggling hard as their Artifacts had lost the most essential function. If this state continued on, the two of them wouldn’t last. Inglis needed to break the tie, and she needed it quickly.
That was when it happened——A segment of the Magic Stone Swarm was suddenly blown to the air. From underneath, something crawled up.
「Wh-, what——!?」 「Another surprise? Give me a break!」
Rafinha and Leone raised their protest.
「Hohyo! Hohyohyohyohyo!!」
It was a humanoid Magic Stone Beast with runes all over its bloated body. It was short and stout, but the gems embedded on its hardened skin was the distinctive feature of a Magic Stone Beast. The newly emerged Magic Stone Beast had the body of the Rune Eater, but even more so, its head was that of Special Envoy Myynti, complete with the stigma on its forehead. That head raised an eruptive laugh.
