Chapter 35 - Final Obstacle

Tch, damn it, they reacted pretty fast. I was finally within sight of the northeast gate of the capital city Dianus, but there was a barricade of Knights up ahead. 

I can't just try to crash into them, that may kill at least a few of them, but I'm just as likely to die myself in the ensuing car wreck. 

I'm about a hundred meters away and closing in fast, I need to think of something, and quickly! I can't swerve away either, all that haphazard driving has made a mess of the car, it can't turn, the brakes aren't working and it's taken quite a battering, going straight is about all it can do now. 

How do I get through the gate in one piece? My Magic isn't strong enough to knock all of them away, and speaking of Magic...incoming! 

Initiate Skill: Magic Eater! 

The dark smoke in the shape of jaws burst out of the side window and moved up in front of the car, swallowing up the Spells that were honing in on me.
