Chapter 112
Back in Strasbourg .
【”―― Will this really be okay?”】
McClain frowned and scratched his head as he looked at the solid formation of Asgard’s second army led by Skuld .
Kurats was a monster, McClain was aware of that .
The Snow White Valkyrie with her griffon was an outlier, as well .
Adding to that, though he did not know their true nature, he knew that Triestella and the beauties corps were also frighteningly strong .
He thought they were here as decoration at first but he knew better now .
All in all, even with 10,000 soldiers under him, he definitely would not want to fight this army .
If he was put in that spot, he would run away without question .
――However, a war of 40,000 warriors against 100 was something else .
【”Turns out I was just a normal person all these years…”】
【”No no no no no, there is nothing normal about you . If you were anywhere close to common sense, I would feel sorry for our dead comrades . ”】
Bacson, who had joined Owl’s Eye at its very beginnings, flusteredly shook his head from side to side in response to McClain’s inexcusably thoughtless rant .
He felt that saying that McClain was normal was a blasphemy to common sense .
Had McClain had an ever so slight hint of common sense in him, perhaps Owl’s Eye would still be active as a large mercenary family to this day .
【”But, I mean, just look at him . ”】
With a sulky expression, McClain pointed at the back of a large silhouette that particularly stood out .
【”…Well, we definitely can’t evaluate him by our standards . ”】
A large army that covered the earth as far as the eye could see, with 40 magic riders standing majestically in their ranks .
However, what stood out the most in this scenery was the divine giant at its center .
This deep-crimson giant was a larger version of Chaos .
On its chest was the family crest of the Bewerstein household; a lion .
It had a slimmer and more polished form than the regular Chaos riders, giving it a grace worthy of a member of the imperial family like Skuld .
The name of this godly behemoth was Adelheid, Skuld Beweldshteim’s personal magic rider .
In a word, it was a masterpiece .
McClain did not feel like he could defeat this one giant even with an army of 1,000 .
【”Let’s leave this one to the lord . Freaks should be dealt with by freaks…”】
Bacson did not feel like this magic rider was something that could be defeated either .

Rather, he felt that if they didn’t have a monster of at least Kurats’ level on their side, Bashtar’s army would be basically doomed to annihilation by this point .
【”This battlefield is too much, I’m never stepping in a gambling den like this one again . ”】
【”Tell me about it . ”】
Despite their words, the fact that McClain and Bacson were still not trying to escape testified to how helplessly in love they were with war .
【”It’s bigger than I thought . ”】
『They still have some ways to go . That being said, considering the level of this world’s magic technology, this is a considerable feat . 』
Bernst, who seldom ever gave any compliments, was impressed .
The craftsmanship behind the magic rider Adelheid was apparently splendid . It wouldn’t have gotten that reaction otherwise .
Kurats let out a delighted laugh .
Like a toddler receiving a big toy, he showed a pure smile . Yet this purity was covered by a layer of a threatening cruelty .
――That enemy was strong .
Kurats had once suffered a blow from Brigitte due to his own carelessness . Moreover, he had also been put in a tough spot by Cabernard’s Chaos rider .
However, he had not acknowledged either of them as his enemy .
To him, those situations only felt like having to get a little serious in a game, nothing more .
However, now, for the first time, he felt like he was about to face someone worthy of being his opponent .

『Do not do me the embarrassment of acknowledging something so trivial as your adversary . 』
For Bernst, someone with Kurats’ potential shouldn’t consider something of Adelheid’s level to be his match .
Rather, this was the type of enemy he had to crush with one hand to show the difference between them .
No matter how abnormal and monstrous others considered him to be, Kurats still had some way to go before his strength could reach Bernst’s criteria .
(I know . I just like these types of opponents . )
A genuine warrior with a clear and unconcealed aim, oozing with an earnest killing intent that reached insanity .
The challenge Skuld was offering was head-on clash between technology and pure strength .
Kurats believed in this enemy’s intent . More than that, he felt trust towards this enemy .
Sometimes, two opponents could reflect each-other’s hearts like they were looking in a mirror .
That’s exactly how Kurats felt right now .
【”――Frigga, take the reins . I’ve gotta to deal with that one myself . ”】
【”Understood . I’ll use the trump card we brought from Bashtar so that no one will interfere . ”】
As if their minds were linked telepathically, the excitement Kurats currently felt was the same as Skuld’s .
Looking at Kurats’ large body all the way up from her Adelheid rider, Skuld even found herself feeling affection towards him .

【”Aaaaah, so wonderful . I can’t wait for us to kill each other . ”】
He was dressed lightly to move more freely, as if to say that wearing a knight’s body armor would only hinder him .
Some people would probably look down on him for it .
(But that’s wrong . That could not be more wrong . )
Kurats was dressed lightly so he could fight Skuld all out .
After all, those muscles were definitely an armor that was far more solid than steel .
(――Amazing . )
This was Skuld’s first time ever meeting an enemy that made her feel so excited .
【”Your excellency, the enemy is within the range of our spells . ”】
【”Do not hold back, go all out . This is our first and last chance . ”】
This probably would not have any effect on Kurats .
But that did not matter .
It would not be so bad for the start signal of their battle to be a flashy show of magic power .
The corners of Skuld’s crimson lips rose into a smile as she thought so .
【”Let us kill one another . Let us love one another . Let us dance together… You, who will change my destiny . ”】
