In a Different World with a Smartphone Chapter 441

# 441 Melee Combat, and an Armored Dragon

“My name is Galaveram. I am one of Kanazsama's servants …… ”

“No …! My father was already possessed by you ….!”

“It's a big deal to possess someone while still allowing them to live…! This is so that I can kill your father at any time …!”

　The Specter answers the surprised and shocked voice of Refia. This creature is also Kanaza's summoned beast.

　To control a number of summoned beasts, you must contract with the leader.

　There is a spirit that can be said to be the leader of the group of evil spirits. Kanaza has a contract with that spirit and is also controlling the spirits under its command. That
is how he's able to have many summoned beasts under his command.

“Don't get too cocky for the time being. [Come by the light, exile the evil with brilliance, vanish].”

“Nuguuuuu??!!”

　Galaveram is torn away from King Nokia when the light magic was emitted by Leen. The smoky and hazy body separates from the king.

“Ahh … a user of light magic! You are talented, little girl, to be able to fight head-to-head with this me!”

“Who is the little girl? Maybe I am older than you?”

　Leen begins a magical chant while staring at the Specter floating near the ceiling. Five arrows of light were fired at the same time from each of the five fingertips that Lean pointed
towards the specter.

“[Come by light, shining duet, light arrow]”

“Uguga?!!”

　All of the shining arrows are on point and hit the Specter, whose body then disappears like a puff of smoke being blown away by the wind. This lowly Specter couldn't be counted
as an enemy to Leen, for it was so weak.

“Hmm…. so, you can only hide in people, but you can't really fight.”

　Seeing the disappearing Galaveram, the two sisters Refia and Paffia suddenly return to themselves and run up to their father who is still sleeping on the bed.

“Father! Can you hear me?! Father!”

“Oh, you shouldn't move him that much. Don't overdo it because the Specter has been shaving off his strength.”

　Grandma Tokie pulled away the two who clung to their father. She touches the forehead of King Nokia, who is still asleep.

“He's weak, but there doesn't seem to be a problem with his body. I think he'll get back his consciousness in a few days.”

“I'm glad … Father …!”

　Contrary to the sisters who stroke their chests with tears of thankfulness, Yumina's facial expressions are steep. Even the aloof Sakura knew that the royal palace was getting noisy.
[Mute] blocks the inside sound from leaking out, but it does not mean that the outside sound cannot be heard.

“If that Specter was also Kanaza's summoned beast …”

“Let's stop our infiltration.”

“I think he's heading here with all of his minions around now …”

They could greet him and his minions here, but it's in the King's room. There are His Majesty the King, Refia, Paffia, and even the maid Lithia. It's a little tough to fight so as
not to get them involved in the violence.

“It can't be helped. I'm right here, so you children do what you want to do. I won't let any of those kids touch you.”

　Grandma Tokie uttered as if she had read everyone's hearts. Grandma Tokie governs time and space. She also manipulates barriers that are closely related to space. If she feels like
it, she can create a stronger barrier than the [Prison] that Touya creates.

“It would be safe to have Grandmother looking over us.”

“Then I'm no longer worried. Let's get rid of those vile creatures.”

“A lot of footsteps can be heard outside. Be careful.”

Just like Sakura said, everyone heard a lot of footsteps running towards the room from the other side of the door.

　Yae and Hilda take the lead and pull out a katana and a sword. Elze also wore gauntlets on both of her hands.

　When Grandma Tokie murmured something in the back, the bed was surrounded in a pale light, like the [Prison]. It will be a barrier that protects the girls from attacks.

“Shall we also not let them see us?”

    All of a sudden, Grandma Tokie, King Nokia, Refia, Paffia, and Lithia disappear. When King Nokia, who should have been in bed, disappeared and the futon was flattened, it looked
like visionary magic.

“As expected, isn't it?”

“Fufufu. Nothing comes even when you praise me, though?”

　Grandma Tokie's voice comes back from nowhere to the impressed Linze.

　Meanwhile… Dobang! The door was roughly opened, and several soldiers with weapons rushed into the room.

   “First, let's move to a place where it's easy to fight! Yae-san, Hildsan, Elze-san, this is a frontal breakthrough!”

“Okay!”

“Confirmed!”

“Leave it to me!”

　Following Yumina's instructions, Yae, Hilda, and Elze head for the soldiers who have just gotten into the room.

　Yae's katana and Hilda's sword are made of crystal material, and they have the sharpness to easily cut even iron. Furthermore, since it is given the enchantment [Modeling] by Touya,
it is possible to make it be put into allowing it to slash or not slash depending on the will of the owner. (TLN: It is probably talking about if you want the sword/katana to be sharp or not….)

　As expected, they may be in trouble later if they simply slash at soldiers from other countries. Elze, Hilda, and Yae both thought that, and only dropped the opponents' blades in
order to just take away their fighting power. Of course, one or two bones may break during the process…..

“Guha !?”

“Ugo !?”

“Buehe !?”

　The soldiers who rushed into the room were beaten down one after another, and the three girls danced into the hallway.

　The corridor in front of King Nokia's bedroom was a secluded place, and there was no route to escape from. Soldiers come from the front of the right-hand side of the door. A wall
is on the left, and the courtyard is beyond the wall.

　Yae and Hilda respond to the oncoming soldiers, and Elze faces the rest of the soldiers, back-to-back with the wall behind them.

“Elze!”

“Leave it to me! [Boost]!”

　The power-filled punch exploded and smashed a hole into the wall that was in its way with a single blow.

　A large courtyard can be seen below from the rattling wall. A cold night breeze blew into the corridor on the third floor.

“[Come ice, freezing barrier, ice wall]!”

　Without a single hesitant movement, Linze jumps out of King Nokia's bedroom and casts magic on the wall opened by her sister.

　A thick ice wall emerged from the hole in the wall that Elze created which went towards the courtyard, like a slide. In the hands of an outstanding mage, it is possible to transform
the [Ice Wall] to some extent. (TLN: I know you may not like disruptions, but I'll keep doing this anyways. The original translation called Linze a wizard, but aren't wizards supposed to be male? It also didn't seem right to call her a witch, so I just called
her a mage.)

　Elze slid down the slide made by her sister and landed lightly on the courtyard.

　Then, Linze, Yumina, Sakura, Su, Lou, Leen and Paula slipped down the slide, and Hilda and Yae who were holding the soldiers back, slipped down at the end.

　Naturally, the soldiers who were rushing in also started running towards the ice slide.

　At that time, Yumina, who was in the courtyard, activated a magic.

“[Come on the soil, earthworks barrier, earth wall]”

　Destroying Linze's ice slide, this time a wall of soil protruding from the ground covers the entire hole created by Elze. The dirt wall that stretched from the ground to the third
floor completely closed the hole in the wall.

　Realizing that the wall could not be destroyed, the soldiers hurriedly turned back and began searching for another route to the courtyard.

“It's okay to go wild here.”

　Lou, who pulled out her twin swords from her waist, murmured. She could see soldiers running in a hurry from the window of the corridor on the third floor.

   They could see a separate team running towards the courtyard. Seeing that, Yumina suddenly got a strange feeling.

　Nokia soldiers are mainly equipped with light armor with leather armor on the back of their hands on top of light clothes. However, those who came here are dressed as knights in
full-body armor.

　Moreover, the design of the armor has never been seen, and the whole body is covered in all black. The wearer's face was visible because the helmet's visor was raised, but emotions
were clearly missing from that face.

“Are they possessed? Linze, help we! [Vanish]!”

“Okay. [Come by the light, exile the evil with brilliance, vanish]!”

　The black knights are wrapped in a shining magic circle that appears on the ground. However, the black armor repelled the particles of light and instantly erased the magic circle.

“It does not work!?”

“It's not ordinary armor. It could be a magic tool…… It could also be a relic of the ancient magical kingdom era … “

“Absolutely. In the ancient magical kingdom era magic tools called “Magic-resistant Armor” had an excellent ability to fend off magic. This is the said armor. Your light magic is
useless.” (TLN: It was originally called the “Devil-resistant Armor”. )

　The person who answered Leen's analysis appeared from behind the black knights. In a long black robe, a tall red-haired man wearing a ball-shaped ornament hung around his neck looked
at everyone. This was Kanaza Notris, the military lord of the Nokia kingdom.

“Have the fiancées of Brunhild's King all come in a flock? Where is Paffia? Answer.”

　Kanaza looks down on the girls with an irreverent attitude and asks questions. For him, a woman was a kneeling existence and a tool that could be changed indefinitely. He thinks
of them as mere playthings.

“Hmm. You're Kanaza? I guess Linze was right. He has an ugly face that doesn't seem to be popular with women.”

“Onee-san … I think so as well, but how about saying that more clearly … I don't think it's a human face, right? I think this person has the worst personality, to top it all
off.”

　The younger sister who pays attention to the older sister who pulls down the opponent for the first time also says things that were quite crazy. They were twins with similar mindsets.

　On the other hand, Kanaza, who was made a fool of, glares at Elze and the others while scrunching the muscles on his nose in anger.

“You idiots …! Are you messing with me …?”

“Hahaha! Puha, hahaha! I'm sorry, Hildsan!

“Yae-san, I'm sorry. Pufu, it's certainly painful to keep laughing like this…”

　Yae hits Hilda on the shoulder. Contrary to the two who were laughing as if they had entered a circus, many veins emerged from Kanaza's temples.

“……………! … I'm angry. I'll use you and make you spill Paffia's whereabouts. I'll give you pain and humiliation that seems worse than death …! “

“… We've already picked a man to be with for the rest of our lives, Kanaza. If Touysama came here, you would definitely have a fist stuck in your face.”

“Oh … I'll do it for King-sama. It's more likely that Kanaza'll be ridiculed than us …”

“But I'm a little happy knowing that he would do it for us…”

　Nodding to Lou's words, Yumina and Sakura spin the words. Is it a game of seeing who can make the military lord angrier?

　The forehead of Kanaza who heard it has more and more veins able to be seen. He, the military lord, has never been messed around with so much, so far.

　Kanaza was originally a man with a low boiling point. Moreover, he has never been so insulted by a woman, who he looks down on. His anger was like a volcano that was ready to erupt.

　He hasn't expressed his anger yet because of his left-over pride in trying to show off a strong man's leeway. In short, as a strong man, he doesn't think it's terrible to yell at
a woman who looks down on him. It's already pathetic if anger appears on his face. (TLN: Ya, so, sorry. I couldn't phrase this better. Kanaza has pride that won't allow his anger to show on his face, because the insults came from a woman. He thinks that the
insults can't reach him because he is so much higher than the women.)

　Then, Kanaza saw Su who was tilting her head to the side a bit.

“Military lord, you're a little bald.”

────── Butsun.

“Catch those people!”

　Along with Kanaza's angry command, the black knights attacked Yumina and the others with their weapons all at once.

“Oh, you're coming over here. Then, I guess we have to quickly get rid of these pests?”

　Elze, who licked her dry lips, quickly closed the distance in one spin and caught the chin of one of the black knights with a lightning-fast uppercut.

　The black knight who got hit flies in the air, and falls to the ground, deeply wedged into the soil.

　Although a specter may possess and manipulate it, a human body is still a human body. If damaged, it slows down, and if a concussion occurs, the Specter will have difficulty moving
the body. For example, even a rider who controls a horse can't help it if the horse falls down.

　The specter himself is not moving the body he possessed, he is instructing the owner of the body to move.

“Ore …!”

“You're an idiot, aren't you? I guess the summoned beast is just like the contractor?”

　Elze shoots a punch at the Specter, who crawls out of the fallen knight's mouth like smoke. Of course, Elze launched the punch while covering her gauntlets with light magic.

“Ugaoooooo!??” (TLN: Okay, let me make a confession! Whenever a monster speaks, there are these “』” symbols starting and ending its speech. I can't form those on my computer and
only have it to show you because it was in the original raws. However, there isn't one that starts the sentence, so I didn't put it on. Truly sorry!)

“It's easier to defeat you than a slime when you're out of your magic-resistant armor.”

　The specter pierced by Elze's fist screams in pain and scatters. Another black knight swung his sword from behind Elze and tried to attack. However, the foot he put pressure on
did not move. Before he knew it, he noticed that his feet were sewn on the ground with ice. It was [Ice Bind] released by Linze. Unfortunately for the enemies, Linze knows how to deal with opponents on who magic doesn't work directly.

“Now, my sister, go for it!”

“Nice, Linze!”

　The black knight who cannot move decides to kick at Elze who has made a semi-circular turn in the air. She is imitating a technique that she was shown by Touya.

　A black knight with large chest armor collapses on the spot. Perhaps after watching the end of other specter earlier, there was no smoke coming out of the armor this time. It was
a timid summoned beast.

“Without the magic armor, it is easy to defeat, just like regular soldiers..”

“It's so easy to defeat things that are weaker than Fraise.”

“I want to play.”

　Yae, Lou, and Hilda get to where Elze was and start to defeat the Black Knights.

“[SatPunchingUgaThe Fool's Abyss, Pitfall]” (TLN:
I-I can't do anything about this! *Shivering emoji*)

“[Come with water, clean stream, waterfall]”

“[Come, Thunder, Thunder Spear, Thunder Spear]”

　Yumina uses earth magic to sink the ground under the feet of the Black Knights and drop them into a pit. The water magic Sakura cast poured a large amount of water into the pit,
and the thunder spear that Leen fired pierced the surface of the water instead of the black knight. This caused an electric current to form in the water.

　The damage of magic may be erased by directly attacking the main body, but there is no problem when attacking indirectly. The black knights who got an electric shock in the hole
stopped moving.

　Some specters were trying to escape in their smoky bodies and jumped out of their bodies, but they were all shot through by Su's awaiting [Shining Javelin].

　Kanaza's anger heated up more and more as his black knights were continuously getting defeated.

“Zebeta!”

“You summoned me, Kanazsama?”

　When Kanaza raises his voice, the small hunchback who was wearing a blue cowl appeared, a small sword at his waist.

“What's going on! Doesn't that armor make the soldiers stronger!?”

“No, that armor negates our weakness, light magic, and does not change our basic combat power. Well, a human who is possessed by one of us Specters has twice the amount of strength
than a human who isn't possessed … “

“Help me win this fight! Do it somehow!”

“Okay. Then, from “the legacy of Elks”, choose number 8.” (TLN: I forgot if Professor Elks was a male or female…. Sorry…. And google-senpai was also not helpful…. For now, I'll be
calling Elks as if HE is a MAN. If HE is a female, I will change HIS gender.)

　Kanaza takes out something like a small box from his bosom to the voice of Zebeta. He opened the lid and picked up a sphere with a diameter of about 4 cm, which was numbered “8”.

“This is it.”

　Kanaza threw the sphere onto the ground with all his might and shattered it into pieces. He didn't have a tantrum, rather, this sphere is a magic tool with storage magic casted
upon it, and it needs to be crushed in order to retrieve its contents.

　At the same time as the shattered debris disappeared, a huge dragon appeared there in an instant.

“This is …!”

“It's an “armored dragon”. “

　An armor dragon is not a normal living dragon, even if it is a dragon. It is a dragon fused with a life-size steel machine in the shape of a dragon. Let's call it a cyborg dragon
for now. It looks like a dragon in armor.

　The armored dragon's size is about 15 meters in length. It has no wings and is in the category of a land dragon when it is needed to be put into a type. It had a long tail, and
there were claws on all four of its limbs. Sharp spikes extended from the back of its head to the tip of its tail. The armor dragon's big mouth is lined with sharp fangs, and both eyes were shining.

“Excuse me.”

　An ectoplasmic-like thing is spit out from the mouth of the little hunchback. The little man who spit out the haze had the whites of his eyes showing, and then he fainted onto the
ground.. Something like a muddy mist enters the cyborg dragon's body.

　A thing that looks like a fan mounted on the back of the dragon slowly begins to rotate, eventually shifting to a high-speed rotation. The dragon begins to move by absorbing the
magic in the surroundings.

　The armored dragon raises its head, with a vicious red light shining from its eyes, and roars like thunder towards the heavens.

　It exhales steam-like smoke from its mouth. Being a living thing and a machine may have something in common with the Babylon Sisters.

“Which lady would like to fight with me? Let's have this Zebeta deal with you. “

　It was the voice of a little boy that came out of the dragon's mouth, along with some smoke.

　”Armored dragon”. The heritage of an ancient magical era that possesses even greater power than the “Sound Needle of Domination” that manipulates demon beasts such as it did to
the land dragons and fuses their brains with a magic machine.

　This magic item was created as an “anti-Fraise” weapon by Professor Deborah Elks.

TLN: DUN DUN DUUUUNNN! I know it was a cliffhanger, but at least you know about Professor Elks. If you know what gender HE is, please tell me in the comments. Of course, the “HE”
I just used was my assumption of HIS gender. Have a great day.
