Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: The battle ends, or does it?

"Wow, so amazing!"

Natsuki Subaru watched Emilia's smooth and flowing counterattack and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

He didn't expect Emilia to have such powerful fighting abilities.

In the first loop, Natsuki Subaru and Emilia were ambushed in the dark by Elsa, and both died.

If it were a direct fight, they should be able to win!

At this moment, ice spikes rained down from the sky, launching a continuous attack on Elsa.

Elsa dodged while searching for her chance to strike back.

She moved and twisted like she was dancing.

Satou Kazuma knew very well that although Emilia seemed to be overpowering Elsa, she clearly wouldn't be able to defeat her in a short amount of time.

If Emilia ran out of magic power and Elsa got close, the situation might turn around.

After all, mages in games are usually squishy and vulnerable to assassin and thief classes.

He turned his head and looked at Felt and Old Man Rom beside him, who were quietly retreating, seemingly planning to run away.

They didn't want to get caught up in this battle.

Seeing this, Satou Kazuma immediately pretended and shouted loudly:

"You're going to kill all related people! You won't even spare the old man and the little girl! You'll chase them down even if they run a million miles away!"

This sudden shout confused Elsa, but she dodged while smiling and saying,

"Oh, well, it can't be helped, after all, the client said that anyone who knows must be eliminated ~ And now, that's all of you! But don't worry, it won't hurt, it'll be over in a flash ~"

Felt and Old Man Rom next to them exchanged glances after hearing these words.

They just wanted to live a peaceful life, and if they didn't take Elsa down now, she might really keep chasing them, like a sword hanging over their heads.

Seeing the hesitation on their faces, Satou Kazuma added:

"If you help Emilia-sama defeat the enemy, then maybe Emilia-sama will be generous and forgive you for stealing from her earlier!"

"Ah, I wasn't going to pursue the ma—"

Before Emilia could finish speaking, Satou Kazuma shouted again:

"Emilia-sama might even think you've done a great deed and give you countless gold and jewels! Right, Emilia-sama!"

"Damn it, Old Man Rom, let's fight her!"

Felt shouted and took out the dagger she carried with her, turning to face Elsa.

Old Man Rom also pried the morning star that had been stuck to the wall off and prepared to join the fight.

"Hey, you guys can't just watch on the sidelines! Come and help!"

Old Man Rom said, throwing several weapons that were originally stored in the house to Natsuki Subaru and Satou Kazuma.

Natsuki Subaru took the weapon, hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and shouted, joining Felt and the others in surrounding Elsa.

Because of his two previous deaths, Natsuki Subaru still had lingering fears and was afraid of Elsa, but now seeing Elsa being suppressed and everyone joining forces to deal with her, most of his fear had been dispelled.

"Kazuma, why aren't you coming? Are you scared!"

Aqua turned her head and looked at Satou Kazuma behind her, who wasn't attacking with Natsuki Subaru and the others, but just standing there.

"Scared, well, I am a bit scared, but the main problem is..."

At this moment, Satou Kazuma's face was flushed, and his muscles were tense.

He couldn't lift the weapon that Old Man Rom threw him.

Old Man Rom threw Natsuki Subaru an ordinary curved sword, but he threw him a giant hammer, which was obviously one of the weapons Old Man Rom himself used.

Satou Kazuma was originally a useless shut-in, and unlike Natsuki Subaru, he didn't even exercise regularly, which meant that almost all of his stats were lower than average, especially his strength.

Satou Kazuma felt like he was burning out just trying to lift the weapon.

The hammer barely lifted an inch off the ground, and Satou Kazuma's hands and feet trembled as if he had been electrocuted.

"Move, you damn hand!"

On the other side, Elsa was gradually losing ground under the combined attack of the others.

Elsa could easily kill either Felt or Old Man Rom, and Natsuki Subaru was basically useless.

But with them working together, and with Emilia the mage present, even the exceptionally skilled Elsa had to retreat.

Her weakness was gradually being exposed.

After dodging Felt's rapid thrust attack, Elsa took a step back, but a cold, biting sensation instantly spread from under her legs.

Emilia's magic had successfully 'caught' her!

Ice enveloped Elsa's legs, making it impossible for her to move at all.

"Oh dear, I've been caught? So cold, so nice."

Even in this situation, the suggestive smile never disappeared from Elsa's face, but instead seemed to be enjoying herself.

"It's over! Tell us the identity of the client behind you and everything you know!"

Emilia questioned sternly.

"I have my professional ethics ~ I won't just reveal things about my client, you know."

Even faced with this situation, Elsa didn't show any sign of panic.

"This guy doesn't look like she'll say anything, let's just kill her!"

Felt frowned as she looked at Elsa in front of her.

For some reason, she had a bad feeling.

"Calling the guards would be the best thing to do now, right?"

Natsuki Subaru said, turning his head and glancing at Elsa beside him.

This should be the end of this crisis.

He turned his gaze to Emilia, a smile on his face.

"How wonderful ~ but do you really think it's over just like that?"

At that moment, Elsa's teasing voice sounded from behind Natsuki Subaru.

Before Natsuki Subaru could turn around, he felt a cold touch on his stomach.
