Chapter 335 Not Our Fight



<strong>–AN) Another chapter will be out later. Family things…–</strong>

We arrived on the dock and could hear the sounds of battle off in the distance. The female guard who was with us had a worried look on her face as she heard the fighting. “What’s your name?” I asked. It would not be good to call the guard hey you or miss guard this entire time.

“Kim….” Kim replied, her voice shaking slightly.

“Then Kim, we will be working together from this moment on. We will need to push through the city and try to get to the castle at the fastest speed but without bringing too much attention to ourselves.” I would put a barrier around the castle and try to protect it or even try to fly over there, but I am worried about the weapons here, and to be honest, I am in no rush. If the king falls, the king falls. It is not an issue for me to take care of the rebellion and take over the kingdom. I mean, while things look okay on the outside, there is no telling what is going on on the inside.

The king of this kingdom could be a tyrant for all I know. While this Kim seems genuine in her concern over her ruler, there is no telling if this is out of love or if it is out of fear, as if her family was being locked up or for some other reason. I am not saying these are all facts, but I do not know these people through a hole in the wall. Their rebellion is of no concern of mine. But that does not mean I do not care about the people of this kingdom either. If I see people committing war crimes as I pass by, I will stop them. But from what I can see, with my detection magic, they are not touching the people. And there is a huge force around the castle fighting against the rebellion.

This meant that there were two opposing sides fighting one another while not touching the citizens. In times like this, I am glad to see that each side has the basic ethics of not doing anything bad to the people. While I could easily end the entire thing with two words, it was not something I intended to do. First, Adel and Sophie could get real practice in a more calm situation. Second, this was not my fight, I am only tasked with trying to ensure the king’s safety. I was not asked to save the kingdom. I was not asked to make sure the king stayed on the throne. I was only asked to save him. As such, I had no issues doing this.

As soon as we exited the station, five soldiers who were guarding it turned and drew their swords. “Stop right there!”

“No…. You Stop.” Adel raised her finger, and the man who just spoke froze. She then softly said: “Fast forward…..”

“What!? What did you do!? Kill them!” The other soldiers yelled out when they saw their comrade suddenly turn into a pile of dust.

Sophie snorted as she swung her sword, sending out an invisible blade of phase magic that had a bit of wind magic hidden inside that was so thin that it could slice through the strongest of metals. This was a new spell I created for her called phase slash. It cut on the microscopic level, meaning it could slice right through anything. The phase magic wrapped around a thin blade of wind magic allowed for her attack to pass through any barriers and easily kill her target.

It was a tricky spell that took me a while to create, but once it was done, it was well worth it. It allowed Sophie the ability to attack from a long range without any issues. And it was unstoppable. To the point that even I can not stop such an attack.

The four remaining guards all split in half and fell to the ground. Because everything was done at the microscopic level, there was not even any bleeding. It was as if the body had no idea that it had been cut in half. Even the guards who were now lying on the ground in two halves had no idea what had just happened. This was what was scary about this attack. If it was not done to a vital part of the body, they would still be alive.

“Mass fast forward.” Adel swiped her finger through the air over her targets, and in seconds four piles of dust lay on the ground. This was Adel’s newest attack. It was mass use of her current cosmic magic. It allowed her to pick and choose her targets. Right now, she still needed more practice with it to do things mentally, so for now, she was just using her finger to point at her targets.

I did hope in the future, she would be able to use detection magic to target all the people she wanted, but I needed to expand the spell more so she could place a marker on them with detection magic. Because, as of right now, she was nervous about using the spell in a mass setting unless there was no one else around. Luckily she can practice her magic with other things besides people she wants to kill.

“We should keep moving,” I said as Adel and Sophie took the lead, and I followed behind. Kim, who was still standing there in a daze, only moved after a few seconds and hurried to catch up to us.

“Faith, are you sure you want to move this slowly?” Sophie asked in a low voice that only Adel and I could hear.

“Mmm… it’s not our fight. What happens is not our problem unless we are getting something out of it. If we reach the king in time, we will make him give up the mountain range for our help. If not, we will just annex it anyway. So we will not lose anything in the long run, so there is no reason to hurry. Just take this time and practice your spells.”
