Angel Little Sister 341

 

Chapter 341 : It’s All His Fault

 

As the young folnir soared into the air, I could see a black collar on its neck.

It must be a slave collar. What a poor bird.

I honestly don’t want to hurt it, but I need to fight it seriously, or else Lia and I would be the ones getting hurt.

「I’m sorry, but I will heal you later! Stone Bullet!」(Mary)

KUUUUUUU!!

The moment I fired a Stone Bullet, the folnir shrank its wings and plunged toward us at high speed.

Bang!

My Stone Bullet hit its head, but…

「No way…」(Mary)

It didn’t work.

I thought I could stop it, but my Stone Bullet shattered into pieces as it hit its head.

The folnir didn’t even blink as if my Stone Bullet didn’t do any damage to it.

「Lia, dodge!」(Mary)

「ー!!」(Lia)

It kept charging toward us, but fortunately, we managed to dodge its attack in time by jumping sideways.

The folnir kept moving forward after it passed us. I thought it would crash into the wall, but it quickly flapped its wings and soared into the air again.

That was close…

I put my hand on my chest and I could feel my heart beating so fast.

This bird seemed to be much stronger than I expected. After all, it’s a deity worshiped by the Walltrail Family for decades.

Even the amulets made from their feathers can block huge damage. It’s only natural that my Stone Bullet can’t even hurt it.

I need more firepower!

「Lance Bullet!」(Mary)

Blast!

I shot a Lance Bullet, a more powerful spell than my Stone Bullet, but just like the Stone Bullet earlier, it shattered into pieces as soon as it hit the bird.

I used this spell to kill the Lord of the Lake at Secard Village, but it didn’t even do damage to the folnir.

I’m quite shocked, honestly.

「It’s no use, Mary onee-sama. Folnirs have exceptionally powerful defensive capabilities. They can block any attack that means to harm them.」(Liane)

「I see… I can’t hurt it, huh? Then… No, it’s not gonna work…」(Mary)

I was thinking if I couldn’t hurt it, maybe I could trap it into a huge earthen cage or something, but it moved really fast.

Creating a cage with earth magic takes time. I don’t think I’ll be able to do it.

I have to think of another way.

「Mary onee-sama, it’s coming! ーUghh!!」(Liane)

「Liane, what’s wrong!?」(Mary)

The folnir was flying at us again at high speed. This time, it stretched its feet forward, trying to attack us with its sharp claws.

However, there was something wrong with Liane.

「My ankle…!」(Liane)

It seemed that she hurt her ankle when she dodged the folnir’s attack earlier.

「I may make you feel uncomfortable, but please bear with it for a while.」(Mary)

「Eh? What are you going to do?」(Liane)

Without answering her question, I put my arm on her back and her legs and then lifted her up, carrying her like a princess.

「Ma, Mary onee-sama!?」(Liane)

Liane looked surprised. Her face turned bright red in a split second.

「Levitation!」(Mary)

I focused my wind-attributed mana on my entire body and jumped into the air to dodge the folnir’s claw attack.

We stopped right before we hit the ceiling and were floating in the air.

「W, Whoaaa!! Mary onee-sama I didn’t know you could fly! You’re truly an angel!」(Liane)

「Uhh, I’m not.」(Mary)

Nicola is though.

「Anyway, please hold tightly onto me! It’s coming!」(Mary)

「U, un!」(Liane)

As Liane wrapped her arms around my neck, her face turned even redder.

She must feel uncomfortable.

KUUUUUUUUU!!

「Khh!!」(Mary)

Just like before, the folnir flew toward us and kept attacking us with its claws and beak.

I kept dodging in the air with Levitation Magic. It was hard to do while carrying Liane in my arms, but there was no way I would let go of her.

「Gahahaha!! I don’t know what kind of amulet you use to fly, but it’s pointless! You won’t be able to escape from my folnir!」(Darkan)

Darkan who was standing on the ground laughed while watching me trying my hardest to dodge every folnir’s attack.

He thought I was using an amulet to fly. It seemed that he didn’t want to admit that a child like me could use an advanced spell to fly.

KUUUUUUUU!

「ーUgh!」(Mary)

「Mary onee-sama, please let go of me! I don’t want to be a burden to you!」(Liane)

「No! That man will definitely order the bird to attack you! I won’t let you go!」(Mary)

「Mary onee-sama…」(Liane)

This is not good… I need to do something to stop this bird.

But… What can I do? My attacks don’t work on it…

Think, Mark! Think!

「Say, Lia, you said that folnirs can block any attack that means to harm them, right?」(Mary)

「Yes, just like how Silver Eagle Amulets work.」(Liane)

「I see… This might work then.」(Mary)

「Mary onee-sama, do you have a plan?」(Liane)

「Yeah, but I need your help.」(Mary)

「O, Of course, I will help! What can I do for you?」(Liane)

「I want you to block its attack and hold it for tenー no, five seconds. Can you do that?」(Mary)

「Five seconds… Honestly, I’m not that confident, but I’ll try my best!」(Liane)

「Alright. Let’s do it!」(Mary)

「Un!」(Liane)

While floating in the air and holding Liane in my arms, I turned around and faced the folnir.

It stretched its feet forward, but before its claws reached usー

「Lia, now!」(Mary)

「Magic Barrier!」(Liane)

Liane created a magic barrier which was the basic protection spell. However, her magic barrier was surprisingly powerful. It successfully blocked the folnir’s claws.

Even though it was a basic spell, I could tell that she had put so much effort into getting better at it. She must have been practicing magic really hard every day.

「Khhh!!」(Liane)

While Liane was holding down the folnir, I looked at the bird’s eyes and tried to talk to it.

「Don’t worry, I won’t hurt you. I just want to help you. Would you listen to me?」(Mary)

While talking to the bird, I started controlling a huge amount of earth-attributed mana in my body. I sent it outside and covered the bird’s wings and feet with it.

「I’m your friend. Let me help you.」(Mary)

The folnir opened its eyes wider. It reacted to my voice.

It then nodded slightly while looking at me in the eye as if saying, “Please free me from this curse!”

It seemed that the folnir was fighting the curse of the slave collar from inside. It had the will but its body was not listening to it.

「Leave it to me! Earth Bind!」(Mary)

I created three huge, heavy blocks of concrete enveloping its wings and feet. As a result, the folnir could no longer flap its wings and fell.

KUUUUUUU!!

「Wind Cushion!」(Mary)

Before it hit the ground, I created a cushion made of air so as not to hurt it.

「Phew… It should be able to prevent the bird from moving for a while.」(Mary)

「Mary onee-sama, you’re amazing!」(Liane)

「It thanks to you holding it down so I could use that spell on it. Good job, Lia.」(Mary)

「ー!!」(Liane)

When I praised her and smiled at her, her face turned even redder for some reason. It’s now as red as a ripe tomato.

I felt bad for her if I kept holding her in my arms any longer, so I descended and put her down.

I thought she would feel relieved as soon as I let her go, but she sighed, looking somewhat disappointed for some reason.

「Lia, can you look after the bird? I’m going to deal with that man.」(Mary)

「Of course. Give him a good lesson, Mary onee-sama!」(Liane)

I turned to Darkan, glared at him, and slowly approached him.

「Dammit! Dammit! Goddammit!! Oi, folnir, what the hell are you doing!? Listen to your master and stop this foolish girl!」(Darkan)

KUUUUUUUU!!

While lying on the floor, the folnir violently moved its wings to hit the blocks of concrete covering its wings against the floor, trying to break them.

Howeverー

「It’s futile. I made those blocks of concrete with high density earth-attributed mana. They won’t break even if they’re hit by a cannon.」(Mary)

「No way… No way!! There’s no way a little girl like youー」(Darkan)

「ーEnough with that ‘little girl’ already! Haven’t you realized who I am?」(Mary)

「H, Huuh!?」(Darkan)

「What a fool…」(Mary)

Every time he called me ‘little girl’, I got more and more irritated.

I don’t think I need to hide my identity anymore, so I decided to take off my wig.

As expected, he looked surprised when I took it off.

「Y, You!! You were the brat who visited my store with Celine!」(Darkan)

「Yeah. I’m her disciple, and now I’m going to make you regret doing all this. Prepare yourself!」(Mark)
