Guardian Knight Sylphia

Guardian Knight Sylphia

When he arrived at the Adventurer's Guild, Yuuto was greeted by Emilia.

Emilia Garnett
Race	Human
Occupation	Guild Staff
Unique Ability	【Disruption (Magic Breaker)】

Disruption (Magic Breaker)	Rarity ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
(The ability to cancel all magic with a touch)

To Yuuto, Emilia was a mysterious person. While at first glance she was an elegant and beautiful woman, her unique capability was far too disturbing.

「Hello, Yuuto-sama's QR has been promoted to 10. Do you want to look at the new quests that have become available? 」

「……Yes, please.」

Hearing Yuuto's answer, Emilia turned the pages of a thick booklet.

☆ Subjugation Quests

● Subjugation of Lizardman
Required	QR 10
Completion Criteria	Subdue 10 lizardmen
Reward	1200 rea and 10 QP
Repeatable	Yes

● Subjugation of Woodhead
Required QR 10
Completion Criteria	Subdue 10 Woodhead
Reward	1200 rea and 10 QP
Repeatable	Yes

Two quests with QR 10 requirement had been added. The reward was a lot better than the 200 rea that he got from slime subjugation quests early on. However, Sylphia had only joined the party recently, so it might not be a good idea to suddenly increase the difficulty. In order to get her acclimatized to adventuring, Yuuto decided to pick quests of lower difficulty. Determining that, Yuuto headed towards the Ragul Mountain Range (Beginner).

〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜

In Ragul Mountain Range (Beginner), there are three different type of monsters: bat, red slime and blue slime. Yuuto knew that the Threat level of monsters from this area was low.

「Master! It seems that I have found bats immediately! There should be three of them.」

「Good. Without further ado, let's get going.」

Spica's smell radar was outstanding as usual. The dog-eared Lycan race have a far greater sense of smell than a human such as Yuuto. Because of that she was able to detect monsters that they had fought before.

Bat	Threat LV 2

When they headed towards the direction that Spica pointed out, they found 3 monsters, just as Spica said.

「Sylphia, I want to see how you fight. May I entrust this to you? 」

「……I understand. If it is an opponent of this level, it is not necessary for master to get involved. I myself will be enough.」

Sylphia unsheathed the Mithril Blade from her waist and took an aggressive stance. There was no lie in her words, as she had been trained in swordplay since childhood, and her stance was that of a knight.

「Ki Ki!」

Seeing Sylphia, the three bats charged at her thinking she was the leader. They threw themselves at Sylphia with their fangs unleashed.

「Ha!」

Sylphia intercepted the frontal charge. Mithril Blade was a thin sword that cut like the wind and momentarily the bat's body was slashed diagonally.

「Pigya! 」

Shortly, the bat released a death cry, as it's body was split in two.

「Sylphia-san……that was awesome! I couldn't even follow your movement! 」

「Ah. Honestly……it was more than I expected! It will be a relief to take you on adventures.」

Sylphia's swordsmanship was better than most of the male adventurer's he had seen. To say a difficult thing, since he pursued irregular martial arts, Yuuto was a 『textbook mark』 of being called inelegant.

「……No, my swordsmanship is child's play compared to master.」

Sylphia's words were not coming from modesty but rather was the truth. Just the other day, she had seen Yuuto overwhelm a vampire with astronomical combat capability. She was not pleased to be praised by such a person.

「I want to ask Sylphia to do one thing during our adventures in the future. While I fight, Spica probably becomes defenseless. That is far more troubling for me. Therefore the role that I want to give to Sylphia is to make 『defending your companions』 her top priority.」

「Defending my companions……」

Sylphia repeated Yuuto's words.

「Well, of course……depending on the number of enemies I may have you fight together with me or have you help with the stripping of materials. Since there are three people now, we can adapt to the circumstance.」

「I understand. I will give it my all for master.」

After the battle, Yuuto wondered something.

(That……does 【Ability Plunder (Skill Taker)】 work for monsters that Sylphia defeats?……)

Ability Plunder (Skill Taker)	Rarity Unknown
(Ability to take the skills of defeated monsters)

When Yuuto was summoned to Trywide he was given the unique ability 【Ability Plunder】. He used the 【Demon Eyes】 skill and checked his status screen.

Konoe Yuuto
Unique Ability	Ability Plunder  Slave Contract  Demon Eyes  Transparent  Warning
Magic	Fire Magic LV 3 (22/30)  Water Magic LV 3 (1/30)  Wind Magic LV 3 (15/30)  Holy Magic LV 2 (5/20)
Trait	Fire Resistant LV 2 (15/20)  Water Resistant LV 2 (15/20)  Wind Resistant LV 2 (14/20)

In conclusion the number of wind magic increased from (12/30) to (15/30). It meant that 【Ability Plunder】 worked for monsters defeated by Sylphia.

(As for Ability Plunder……it works for monsters that I didn't defeat?)

It was necessary to examine this information more. The income that they made from Ragul Mountain Range (Beginner) had now become insignificant. The purpose of the latest adventure probably would become about verifying his question. Determining this, Yuuto began looking for his next prey.
