Chapter 174 – Don’t Upstage Me

Proofreader: Nevermind
After releasing my magical power into the sky, I wanted to attempt something new – use a mysterious power to strengthen the soldiers .
Winning a battle with the help of a mysterious power was very common plot in many stories . Namely, the plot of investigating the mysterious power while asking the question “what is it…”
Reinforcing the soldiers from a distance was also a test for my abilities .
At first, I would release the magical power into the air in the shape of Black Rose . Then I would scatter it, and infuse the magic into the soldiers with the petals to temporarily reinforce them . Up to this point, there was no problem .
The problem was, the soldier’s body could not bear such strong magical power, if I infused it into their bodies sharply .
Although they could be reinforced, the effect would be weak . The effects would not be enough to fight with the magic swordsmen .
So, here was the test .
When the magical power entered their body through the petals, I created magic lines in their bodies that could withstand my power . I reinforced everyone in the [Vow of Black Rose], so I had to focus my full attention on the ultra precise operations . I almost thought that my brain would explode .
In short, I could reinforce the soldiers from a distance, and I named the skill [Shadow Marionette] .
“Haha!! What a strong power!! I killed three people at once!”
“Ora! Ora! Ora!! Can you keep up with my speed!?”
“Huhuhuhu!! Who dares to stop me! I will send you flying to the other side!!”
Now after my reinforcement the [Vow of Black Rose] got a new momentum to break through .
The small amount of soldiers that was surrounded, somehow had suppressed the enemy, which was commonly thought of as impossible .
“What’s going on? Quickly, stop them! No matter what, you have to stop them!”
If the enemy breaks through their defences right now, they would be defeated .
So, obviously, the magic swordsmen were sent over .
“Humph! It is you again!”
“Poof! You have blocked my spear!”
“Humph! You have remarkable skills!”
As expected, the three ojisans were stopped again, and thrown into a disadvantageous position by the magic swordsmen .

Although both sides were around the same power level thanks to my enhancement, ojisans were amateurs, and the magic swordsmen were professional soldiers . Basically, ojisans were not a match for the magic swordsmen in both skills and experience . They were doomed to fail .
However, it didn’t matter . Now, it was time for [Shadow of Marionette] to shine .
I started to manipulate the magic lines spread in everyone’s body .
Then…
“What’s this? Why is my body moving!?”
Ojisans movements changed drastically . I improved their spear fighting skills through remote manipulation, which made them superior to the magic swordsmen in fighting with a spear .
“Why am I blocking attacks from blind angles? I can’t see the enemies too!”
It didn’t matter even if they couldn’t see the enemies clearly . They could receive blows from any direction .
“It’s no use escaping from me! You can’t dodge my spear!”
It had an automatic tracking function that could predict the enemy’s future actions .
The magic swordsmen were defeated by the ojisans with improved skills thanks to my remote manipulation .

The magic-swordsmen were doomed to fail .
This was the overwhelming power of [Vow of Black Rose] .
“What’s going on? Is this the power of the [Black Rose]? Contact the headquarters in the capital!”
“The [Black Rose] appears! The [Black Rose] appears!”
After we broke through its encirclement, the enemy army collapsed soon .
Since their commander run off, within a few seconds the [Vow of Black Rose] completely suppressed the enemy soldiers at the square .
“Stop chasing them! Occupy the castle first!!”
“With this power, we can do it!”
“Everything is possible for use!”
Then, the [Vow of Black Rose] burst into the city with this high morale .
While thinking about the battle, I follower behind ojisans and acted like a mob .

It was hard to describe the new skill . It was ‘problematic’ or ‘unsatisfactory’, because of two problems .
First, it was really a heavy burden for me .
So far, I had never even tried to control nearly a hundred soldiers with magical threads .
Using my magical detection to understand and master the whole battlefield information was already a heavy burden for me . What’s even worse is that I had to control every soldier’s every action using the magical threads at the same time . There were only a few soldiers that I could focus on controlling at the same time . To tell the truth, my brain feels like it’s going to explode .
Secondly, what I wanted was the “What is this power…” play, in which people investigated the mysterious powers origin as the story gradually developed .
At this stage, this power should still be a mystery . The truth wouldn’t be revealed until the [powers in the shadows] came to stage at the end of the story – that’s how the story should proceed correctly .
But why…
“The [Black Rose] is at our back!”
“Yo! The [Black Rose]!” Please lead us to a victory!!”
“Go! Soldiers chose by the [Black Rose]!!”
… Why would the fairy tale of the [Black Rose] take away the chance of my show?
