The Son-In-Law Of A Prestigious Household Wants A Divorce-Chapter 27: Reconnaissance Team 5

Boom!

“The giant has started throwing at the main gate!”

“We’re going now.”

The Great Colony’s attack had officially begun.

With intelligent Demonic Beasts in command, the battle was pretty much a war.

“Team 5, get ready.”

Silverna took her stance, gripping her spear.

Their target was a demonic beast called ‘giant’ that was throwing rocks from far away.

Isaac and the reconnaissance team members gathered around Silverna on top of the wall.

After confirming the members, Silverna immediately jumped down.

Whoosh!

As she fell, she swung her spear widely.

Like Helmont’s Crimson Essence.

Silverna’s White Aura spread like a storm in all directions, sweeping the landing point.

Yetis and other Demonic Beasts clinging to the wall were torn apart by her Aura.

Tap!

Upon landing, she shifted her gaze towards the giant in the distance.

Behind her, the other members landed at the base of the wall.

Normally, people would just die after jumping down from that height.

But, with Silverna utilizing her Aura as a cushion, they were able to land safely, as if guided by the wind.

Cardias’ spearmanship usually repressed the use of Aura.

Because ultimately, Aura was something used by the chosen ones. It was a distant concept from Cardias’ spearmanship, which was supposed to be used by the average folks.

But, Silverna...

Had been focusing on her control over her Aura, advancing the spearmanship to new heights.

She improves quickly.

Although she was still incomparable to Rianna, she’d soon grow to surpass her.

“Tch!”

Sharen, another Aura User, clicked her tongue.

Until just a few days ago, she was the more proficient one among the two when it came to Aura.

She couldn’t help but be envious as Silverna’s growth rate increased day by day.

“I’ll take the lead.”

Silverna rushed forward, like a spear being thrown.

Her footwork and spearmanship as she thrusted in tore apart the Demonic Beasts without even giving them a chance to swing their arms.

Anna, Jonathan, and Meladik followed right behind her.

The three of them dealt with the Demonic Beasts that were trying to squeeze in the path that Silverna had opened up.

Most of the time, they didn’t kill those beasts, just disrupt their posture or push them away.

Because killing them was someone else’s job—Isaac with the tachi in his hands.

With how light his sword was, he could swing it faster than others.

Moreover, he didn’t miss the vital points of disrupted enemies.

He was properly fulfilling the role of this team’s finisher.

Of course, this was also thanks to Sharen firmly supporting him from right behind.

This team advanced, trampling the Demonic Beast horde like a bulldozer.

“My lady! We’re moving out of the wall’s cover range!”

“From now on, we’ll increase our speed!”

At Anna’s report, Silverna gripped her spear tightly and started running forward faster. Her companions behind also quickened their pace accordingly.

And then...

“We’re starting!”

As the giant came into range, Silverna stopped, digging her feet into the ground, and took a javelin-throwing stance.

Anna and Jonathan, who had been following behind, passed her and stood in front of her, guarding her.

Whoosh!

Together with Silverna’s javelin throw, Sharen swung her greatsword towards the sky.

Using the pure white sky as a canvas, her pale pink Crimson Essence scattered.

Silverna’s spear, gaining momentum thanks to the Crimson Essence, pierced straight through the giant’s brow.

Boom!

The 4-meter tall giant’s body fell.

Even though the operation was successful, everyone started planning out their retreat route without showing signs of joy.

“The frost howlers are coming!”

Meladik, who had been cutting down Demonic Beasts together with Isaac, shouted urgently.

Humongous ice wolves rushing in from all directions.

Isaac swung his tachi, blocking their approach.

But the moment the howlers kicked the ground once.

Crash!

The thin tachi broke helplessly like an icicle breaking.

“Ah, seriously!!”

He immediately grabbed the falchion tied at his waist.

Gripping the falchion in reverse, he drew it and cut the neck of the howler that had broken his tachi in one motion.

This process of him changing his weapons was so smooth because this had happened several times already.

“Isaac’s sword broke again! My lady, what about your spear?!”

“Wait! Come on, come on! Hurry up!”

Silverna spread her palm towards the sky.

Waiting for the thrown spear to return.

“I told you not to throw it so hard! It takes too long to come back!”

“I controlled my strength! It’s your Inferno Surge’s fault!”

“Do you know how hard it is for a Helmont to control their strength, you idiot?!”

Even while bickering, the group continued to deal with the frost howlers that kept rushing in.

“Can’t we just leave the spear? There are too many of them!”

“If I knew things would go like this, I’d have brought a hammer!”

Jonathan and Meladik said in turn.

The frost howlers were ordinary Demonic Beasts, but their bodies were as strong as ice sculptures. Each strike made their arms go numb.

“If you knew what the spear was made of, you wouldn’t dare to say that! Also, in the first place, it was thanks to me that we took down the Giant without any losses-!”

Swish!

At that moment, the spear wrapped around Silverna’s hand with a ‘snap’.

It was her Aura that was connected to the spear that allowed her to retrieve it in this way.

“Alright, retreat!”

At Silverna’s words, everyone immediately turned their bodies and started retreating.

While running, Isaac clicked his tongue looking at the broken tachi.

“And he told me it won’t break again this time. With such confidence too...!”

“Old Man Antonio loves to exaggerate it seems, Sir Isaac!”

Jonathan responded to Isaac’s grumbling.

The old man clearly had laughed, telling Isaac that the tachi wouldn’t break at all, so he could freely use it, but...

Apparently, the blacksmith was full of hot air.

In any case, thanks to the beasts concentrating their attention on them, the moment they entered the wall’s range of fire, they were able to return to the wall quickly.

After entering, while everyone was recovering, Isaac complained again.

“I really need to go to that blacksmith and give him a piece of my mind.”

It was rare for him to be this emotional.

As he rolled up his sleeves, looking like he would rush off right away, Anna handed him a towel.

“Sir Isaac, do you think what just happened was a little strange? It was as if the frost howlers were waiting for us.”

“Right? I felt that way too!”

Jonathan nodded at Anna’s words.

Similarly, Silverna crossed her arms and waited for Isaac’s opinion.

Isaac put the broken tachi back into its sheath, nodding.

“That’s right. Well, we’ve used the same strategy several times to deal with the giants, so it isn’t strange that they’d get used to it.”

It was clear that the wolves were stationed there in advance, to anticipate them coming to kill the giant.

“Here, drink this.”

Sharen handed him a water bottle from the side.

Isaac reorganized his thoughts while drinking before continuing..

“Historically, Great Colonies were often led by Demonic Beasts with extremely high intelligence. I assume that it’s the same this time.”

In fact, Isaac already knew.

What kind of Demonic Beast was leading the Great Colony.

And how it would die in the future.

It hasn’t made its move yet.

However, it seemed like it still hadn’t made its move.

In the first place, it was a creature that they couldn’t perceive.

Unless it made a move, humans couldn’t even lay their eyes on that creature.

That was what you told me.

He glanced at Silverna.

Based on what Silverna had told him in his previous life, the Demonic Beast leading this Great Colony was no ordinary creature.

He had heard that even Uldiran Cardias had a hard time going against it.

“W-What? Why are you staring—?”

“Y-Yes, yes! You’re right, Sir Isaac! This Great Colony wouldn’t be that simple!”

Anna moved to block Silverna, who was blushing and about to get embarrassed.

While she might not show it on the battlefield, out of it, Silverna still couldn’t hide her emotions well.

Squeeze squeeze.

“Ouch!”

“Ah, sorry.”

Isaac cried out in surprise at Sharen, who was suddenly massaging his shoulders.

But even after that, Sharen didn’t stop her gentle massage.

Watching the scene, Jonathan opened his mouth.

“Lately, Lady Shaen has been treating Sir Isaac very kindly...”

“Right? I noticed that too. The other day, when Isaac said he was hungry, she went to the dining hall and brought sandwiches.”

Meladik added, prompting everyone’s gaze to turn to Sharen.

But Sharen just answered without any hesitation, shrugging her shoulders.

“What’s strange about me being nice to my brother-in-law?”

Her words made sense.

After all, they were family.

Logically speaking, there was nothing strange with her words, but everyone just found it hard to believe. After all, it was Sharen who said those words.

“Does it feel good, Isaac?”

“...”

“Does it feel good?”

“...”

“Does it feel good?”

Isaac, who had been refusing to answer, finally nodded.

“Yeah, it does.”

If the option was either it felt good or not, then the answer was definitely good. After receiving that answer, Sharen immediately came forward and presented her head.

She was asking for a head pat.

Well, actually, it was half-asking, half coercing.

It was just three days ago that she had headbutted his back all day for not patting her.

Pat pat.

“Hehehe!”

It went without saying that she was elated after getting patted.

Suddenly, Jonathan approached Isaac.

“Are you feeling stiff anywhere, Sir Isaac? My massage feels really good, you know?”

Why are you coming to me after seeing her getting a head pat?

Isaac rejected his offer and turned his gaze beyond the wall.

“They’re retreating.”

“Because the giant died. They don’t have the firepower to break through the wall.”

The Demonic Beasts started retreating.

In truth, the current attack was no different from testing the waters.

They wanted to check how solid the wall was before going all out to try and break it.

I should ask the margrave for his opinion.

If I assert myself as Silverna’s adjutant, I should be able to enter the meetings.

He wasn’t too worried though, since in his previous life, the Malidean Wall’s personnel managed to handle the Great Colony in the end.

Still, minimizing damage would make it easier to prevent future threats.

Anyway, I should go to that old man and complaint.

He told me the tachi won’t break, but it just broke down like it was made of glass—!

“Isaac!”

Silverna, who had taken off her armor and put on a coat, suddenly pointed at Isaac.

“Cut your hair! Don’t tie it up!”

“...Huh?”

“It’s an order! Cut it! Shave it all off! I don’t like looking at it!”

Then she left, looking all upset. Isaac could only stand there, bewildered. Meanwhile, Sharen, who was standing next to him, whined, giving an incredulous look to the departing Silverna.

“What’s wrong with her? You look really good when you tie your hair...”

“Ahaha-“

Hearing that, Anna awkwardly scratched her cheek and quietly added.

“That’s exactly why...”
