Blessing Of Yuri Goddess-Chapter 376 - 84 - Marionette Magic

With my mother’s presence in a place like this, it made all of Marquess Rommel’s knights, who were skinning the dragon’s corpse immediately, stand up and line up neatly.

The discipline shown by these knights of Marquess Rommel was far different from what they showed me.

Maybe the orders I gave them were too childish and not absolute.

They didn’t even carry out small orders like burning the dragons alive.

By seeing this kind of thing, I can only feel irritated by this kind of difference in authority. I was so annoyed, I couldn’t even say anything after seeing this kind of difference in authority.

Maybe I should step back and stop this military expedition?

It was too much trouble to do, but it was much better than the orders I gave being carried out half-heartedly.

"Huuufff..." I then took a deep breath and lamented this.

"Um? Is there a problem, Lily?" my mother asked after seeing me exhale heavily.

"There’s no problem, Mama. It’s just... I need to be self-aware of something."

"S-Self-aware?" My mother said, tilting her head as if she didn’t understand what I was saying.

Because I was talking nonsense, it definitely made my mother confused about what had happened.

It was in line with several of Marquess Rommel’s knights, who seemed to panic after hearing this.

"What does Lily need to do to self-aware?" asked my mother to find out more about what I was experiencing.

"Ugh, how do I say this? I could say... the orders I gave was carried out half-heartedly. There were only a few knights who followed my orders... I think?" I said in a questioning tone and seemed confused by my own question.

"Oh my... that will be quite a big problem later, Lily."

"Really? Why would that be such a big deal, Mama?"

I didn’t think about this at all before. If I think about it, the big problems that will arise in the future will probably be related to the same thing as this.

Disobeying the authority I have as expedition leader.

That’s really going to be a problem in the future, right?

"A knight who does not obey the orders of their own leader tends to invite unnecessary danger, Lily. You must remember this one thing and send home the knights who do not obey orders so that they do not become a burden in this military expedition," said my mother while looking at the line of Marquess Rommel’s knights.

Currently, there are two lines formed, the unit carrying out reconnaissance and the main unit acting as the main force.

"Hmm~ but this is a little strange, isn’t it? There are some of Marquess Rommel’s knights who disobey Lily?"

"I also saw a new, unfamiliar face..."

With sharp eyes, my mother suddenly released a large and explosive magical energy.

BLLAARRR!!

Right beside me, the source of the huge flood of magic energy formed a magic circle formation on the sky and fell downwards rapidly.

BAAAMMM!!

The loud boom of the magic circle formation rang out and hit all of Marquess Rommel’s knights who were lined up in front of me. The two line formations suddenly split into a line that fell and a line that was still able to withstand the attacks of my mother’s magic circle formation.

"Oho, that’s ... interesting," muttered my mother in a happy mood.

"M-Mama?" Alice and Alyssa looked confused by what my mother was doing.

Several magic circle formations were also created above the heads of the military higher-ups and fell rapidly to hit their bodies.

BAAAMMM!!

BAAAMMM!!

BAAAMMM!!

The loud sound that came from the magic circle formation falling was able to be endured well by the military higher-ups, but not for long enough.

After holding on for a few seconds, the military higher-ups who served me and had served well fell, leaving only one person who was fine.

"Of Marquess Rommel’s many trained Knight, there are only a few who can survive a surprise attack like this."

"If it continues like this, the military expedition you are going on will end quickly."

"I will bring all the knights of Marquess Rommel who fell after receiving a small magic attack like this," said my mother with a happy hum.

I don’t know what happened and why my mother set up a magic circle formation to attack Marquess Rommel’s knights.

However, from the shape of the magic circle formation, it was intended to paralyze physically exhausted people.

"Ahh! I see!" my voice screamed after understanding this.

The order I gave earlier was to explore the dense forest to take samples of new magic plants that had been detected thanks to Alyssa’s chanting of the magic circle formation.

The orders I gave would, of course, drain their stamina to the point of great physical exhaustion. That left them with no remaining stamina that could be used to attack the herd of dragons that were being burned by Alice’s magic spell.

I just understand that now!

"Uh, I’m embarrassed by my decision to not understand the situation of my own knights."

"What a shame..."

By lowering my head, I gained valuable experience and lessons on this matter.

Not all of Marquess Rommel’s knights had the same stamina and fatigue tolerance.

My mother’s recitation of the magic circle formation had proven that and opened my eyes wide to this important issue.

"I still need to learn more as a Matriach, huh?" I grumbled while understanding this.

Pat...

Pat...

"No need to be so stiff, Lily."

My mother’s hand stroked my hair and smiled gently.

The gentle caress of her hand calmed me, who was in a dilemma after making a small, fatal mistake.

I almost became a leader who forced my knights to perform actions beyond the limits of their physical abilities.

"They’re just weak..."

"Or rather, they just don’t want to waste stamina to following your orders..."

"Isn’t it like that?" My mother continued while blinking at one of the Black Maid units who served as military aides to my twin sisters.

Nod...

The reply they gave was a respectful nod of the head.

"I’ll listen to the details later and let these exhausted people rest in peace."

My mother said that as if they were crossing into the realm of the dead, and the faint smile from behind the shadow of her witch hat looked like my mother liked the current situation.

Some of the surviving Knights of Marquess Rommel looked at each other and burst out laughing. Several knight insulting each other, but they seem to be close.

Alice and Alyssa, who were shocked before, now breathed a sigh of relief.

"I almost thought about attacking using magic earlier," said Alice with an innocent smile on her face.

"I, too, almost attacked them with restraint magic after thinking that they were unfit to take part in this military expedition," said Alyssa while stroking her magic staff.

Apart from myself, maybe I was the only one who did not attack what my mother was attacking.

"Aahhh..." With a small sigh, this one small problem was resolved, and we hurried to follow my mother’s footsteps as she approached one of the dragon corpses that had been skinned clean.

Some of the dragon meat that was burned to perfection was separated, and the dragon scales that were burned to charcoal were separated for reuse.

Right before my eyes, a dragon that had grown up had only its bones and head left. Its body looked like a roasted dragon ready to be served, and its head was burned to the point of blistering, which was a terrifying sight if seen directly.

"Yup, this is suitable to be used as raw material for Marionette magic," said my mother while holding back her body’s overly excited vibrations.

Thuudd...

My mother then stuck her magic staff on the ground. Her eyes closed, and she took a deep breath that would be used to cast a long magic spell.

As I recall, Marionette’s spell was about four paragraphs long. With magic spells that long, it’s only natural that Alice and Alyssa are reluctant to learn them.

I’m feels the same way, I prefer learned fast attack magic spells and silent magic spells that are suitable for fast combat, than learn Marionette spell.

Drrrttt...

Brrrttt...

The ground I was standing on shook and rumbled like a landslide.

Blaaarrr!!

Suddenly, a large pillar made of earth appeared from the ground with a pointed tip and a spiked edge.

Claanngg!!

From the sharp tip of the pillar, various kinds of magic threads emerged, which began to stick to the joints of the bones that could be used for movement.

The magic spell that my mother was chanting continued until all the corpses of the dragons that were being skinned were connected lived into one large flock.

My mother’s magic energy also formed a new magic core that would be used as a control magic core, according to what I read in the Great Hero’s magic book in the past.

Alice and Alyssa fell silent after seeing this, their eyes focused on every magic chant and magic circle formation used by my mother.

"Uuuhh, now I feel guilty for not learning such amazing magic spells," Alice grumbled while pursing her lips.

As the saying goes, regret always comes too late. Alice just experienced that.

"..." On the other hand, Alyssa was silent, and her eyes focused on every magic circle formation created in front of her.

Without saying a word, I could feel Alyssa’s strong interest in learning this magic spell with just one look. Alyssa is indeed a genius in the field of magic. If she can imitate it with one look, I will be even more left behind by Alyssa’s abilities, which continue to develop endlessly in the field of magic.

Even though I had performed the Linked Ritual and gained most of Alyssa’s abilities, it still didn’t seem to be able to match her original abilities.

Alyssa’s lips murmured, and her eyes continued to stare at our mother’s magic circle formation, which was almost complete.

"This is too complicated," said Alyssa with a big smile on her face.

Um, where did Alyssa’s confident smiling face just now go?

"It’s so complicated... I don’t have any interest in learning this magic spell anymore!" Alyssa continued and glanced at me.

"Lily-nee, after returning from the military expedition. Let’s learn the spellcasting of this complicated Marionette magic spell together! So, I became more interested to learn it!" Alyssa shouted while smiling at me.

Ah, that smile again.

I understand the meaning of Alyssa’s smile.

Alyssa just lied to me.

Even though she said that Marionette’s magic spell casting was too complicated, she already understood the basic magic circle formation.

As an older sister who always studied magic spells with her, I understood that smile that pretended to be innocent and uninterested.

"Eh, don’t cheat like that, Alyssa! I also want to learn this magic spell with Onee-sama, too!" shouted Alice, who didn’t want to be left behind while learning a new magic spells.

Compared to Alyssa’s fake expression, Alice’s facial expression was more innocent and told the truth.
