Chapter 680: Saint Jornes’ Strength (side: Miria)
The arrow that Sirius-san is aiming glows with a fierce light. Still gazing down at us, Jornes appears completely unaware of him.
The crimson arrow he’s using was procured by breaking a statue of the Hero Robin in the palace. Apparently Robin himself made the arrow from the fang of the Magic Beast King Ammit that he subjugated. Sirius-san lamented earlier that such sacrilege would have incurred the death penalty in normal times.
It seems wrong to use such a precious relic on a mere probing attack, but the reality is that we wouldn’t even be able to probe her defences if we didn’t resort to this.
“Jornes-sama! Why have you returned to this era!? What have you got against the people of the Holy City!? Why won’t you say anything!?!?”
Radda-san continues calling out with [Telepathy]. It happens just as Jornes’ mouth twitches.
“[Dragonshot]!”
With the sound of magic bursting, Sirius-san lets the arrow fly. Clad in red light, the arrow takes on the form of a small dragon and speeds towards Jornes’ back in a straight line.
Jornes flips around towards Sirius-san. It’s only for an instant, but I can tell she sees the arrow in flight. I intuitively expect her to now dodge.
However, the arrow simply pierces into Jornes’ chest. Her body trembles.
