In another world as my waifu #2: DDD GIFT

Chapter 28: Cloaked Insect meets OP boot!

*gasp*

The guests, the paladins, the royal knights, everyone at the Great Hall were surprised, to say the least, when the Nightmare moved suddenly to where the Head of the Church found herself.

"What is she doing...?"

"Are we under attack? Again?"

"Why is she standing there with her arm like that?"

Those were some of the multitude of murmurs that could be heard coming from the people at venue, and one can be sure that the people at the churches and the plazas watching everything unravel were thinking the same thing.

Normal protocol would call for the person interrupting such an event to be removed and charged appropriately, but the inaction of both the paladins and the royal knights stemmed from the person in question.

One that could very well be the savior of this very Kingdom along with her Maid-Knights.

Still, it was inevitable for tension to start to rise if the current state of ignorance was maintained.

So, even before Chief Paladin Julian was able to say something, a noble of the Kyrie Kingdom stepped forward to try and clear up the situation.

Just how the Nightmare wanted.

For a prompt is what she needed.

"What is the meaning of this, Lady Argento?"

And Count Thach was the perfect person to give that to her.

She turned her gaze at him, at everyone, it even seemed that she was gazing at the people watching from other cities.

"As I said, it is but an insect that tried to bite at her Holiness just as she started her speech. But better than to tell, I shall show you all what I mean."

Complete confidence shined in those eyes of hers as she said that.

One that was in complete control and commanded everyone to stay calm, be silent and watch.

Some swallowed saliva as they felt that very same gaze but all obeyed.

Even the most stubborn among them did it.

Even a certain Sentinel found himself closing its mouth shut and not blinking at all for he was about to witness another glimpse of what the Nightmare was capable of.

Even...Cloak was naught but paralyzed as that very same gaze fell upon them once again.

"Let me entertain you with a simple trick..."

She said as she raised her free hand, still smiling and looking at Cloak in the eyes.

"...!"

They knew they had to move but they couldn't.

No matter how much they struggled.

They were but a statue, a doll, a mere thing in the hands of such a being.

"Now you do not see them..."

Her free hand got ever closer to Cloak's personal space, but that was not all, at the point of her fingers there was mana.

*shivers*

'Such...terrible mana...! What is...she...?!'

Asked Cloak to themselves as they looked at the ruinous red and black mana that danced on the tip of the Nightmare's fingers as if it was ablaze.

'What is...this fear?!'

They thought as their heart started beating faster than ever before, their eyes widening as those fingers reached their destination, to hover just barely over Cloak's cloak...and then she pulled at something.
