173 Episode 66: A Long Night Comes (3)
"Herd...!?"
"Oh, I've come this far and gradually figured it out. The stampede is caused by multiple demons coming to devour us! There's more than one sign I can feel from the fog, just like this one! It's obviously too different from a normal demon to be obvious!
I frowned at Al's cry. In other words, there are multiple vampired and strange demons in front of you, and the fact that their "flock" drove the demons away must have caused the stampede.
"Al, how many!?"
"... one hundred... at least there are as many as I can confirm!
"Ha!?"
Acrylic screamed as he opened his eyes when he heard a response from Al. You think there are at least a hundred demons that are highly regenerative and not easy to kill? That's too bad.
"Hundreds of them... the boulder is gonna take me a while!? I need to crush the demon stone first!
- No problem.
Worst case scenario...... would be unhappy for them too. That I'm here.
The opponent is a vampire, specializing in regeneration and eating up other demons. From its appearance, it is good to see that it has the nature to take in predators. Time only benefits them.
- Then we won't allow it to play, and we'll get it all done right and quickly.
"Let's shake, brothers, hear my voice from the abyss of sleep."
I hold the arcane shell on my chest and take a prayer stance with my hands against the blade. The air shook to my voice.
"" Gather, my compatriots. Give it what it looks like in this world if it responds. My wish, fulfill my wish. "
Light lights around me like a precursor to magical activation. A magic formation is drawn in the air, and that formation begins to spin on the spot. The circle speeds up the momentum of rotation and transforms itself into a sphere of light.
"-" Spirit manifestation "
Swing the arcane shell across your chest. My hair floated fluttering as my strength gathered to swirl into the sphere of light.
A crack ran and crushed so that a claw entered the sphere of light as I moved. It appeared with the light overflowing from inside - what flames and light pictured a woman.
To parable, the figure is or rather a female knight. I float with a blazing sword in my hands, trying to hold it aside from me.
This is my trump card - "Spirit manifestation." The magic of acting independently would be the exact place. Instead of just harnessing the power of the Spirit in the form of magic, it gives the power of the Spirit more orientation and serves "my magic".
"I'm not going to extend the forest, but it's best to burn it down. - Do it."
As per my decree, I flew to a demon vampired by a lady knight of flames who shook phosphorescent like a tail. The demon also tries to intercept the Female Horseman of Fire by making a deafening scream.
But the Female Knight of Fire is made of flames all over her body. If you try to touch it, you'll burn it. In that moment of hesitation, a lady knight of fire stabbed through a demon with a blazing sword.
Even if a demon stabbed with a blazing sword screams, I send more will to the Lady of Fire Knight.
- Burn it. Burn it.
Spirit manifestation, originally magic. And the magic on which she was founded - exploration.
She is the one who originally gave form to the magic that burns down by the flames of burning, so that she can act herself. Therefore, even if the power is given form, it will not change.
Flames shake from the tip where they stabbed the flaming sword and burst inside. It spreads to ravage the body, burning down even the demonic stones in the body. Slowly, as the demon fell without screaming, the fired demon from the inside turned straight into ash.
I exhaled softly, making sure there was no sign of regeneration. "She stops moving and stands waiting for my instructions.
"First of all, what the hell is that?.................. hmm?
So I felt my gaze. Turning to the gaze, there was Al looking at me with a look like his emotions had fallen out and Acrylic pointing fear emotions at me with his drawn face.
"... then, the carbide..."
"Oh, not at all... I forgot, long time no see"
"... No, wait. This is part of the magic we're currently working on, and, you know, it's not scary, is it?
Sure, it's about me and Llumi who can control it on such a scale so far. But if it's small-scale, whispering magic, it's not like anyone other than me can do it, is it? There are also examples of manifestations by demonic instruments......
I tried to appeal from that thought, but the acrylic just packed a step away and shook my neck left and right with momentum. My ears are upside down, but my tail is curling and shrinking.
Al, who was watching such acrylics, sighed deeply and said this as if he'd given up.
"Acrylic, never mind. This guy's a monster, but he won't take it and eat it."
"What do you think people are?"
"It's a monster. I get a headache with alignment."
"... hon! Not if we're talking about this, Al! Acrylic! I'll be there next!
Now, if we talk about this, it will take time. So I'm behind you now. Anyway, a vampired demon...... did Anis call it a chimera? We have to finish the chimera anyway.
"... Al, I feel so sorry for Al right now..."
"... oh, I'm glad you understand"
I am! I haven't heard anything!
Then I decided to get back on my mind and crush the chimera from one end by my manifested spirits. The Sovereign will be Al, so I will concentrate my consciousness on the Spirit's service on the Chimera opponent. The crusade went smoothly because the other demons coming towards us were finished by Acrylic and Al.
As I was tailoring the chimera with almost a blow, I felt the gaze directed from the acrylic was becoming more and more cloudy, but when I said I should count to fifty, I had the same dazed eye as Al.
"... Isn't this guy the strongest in this country?
"What do you think? I think you'll lose to Annis."
"... Anisphere is stronger than you even though you can't use magic?
What's that acrylic talking about? He asked me with a look like that on his face. Sure, Anis can't use magic, but when you combine physical enhancement with magic props from the dragon's magic... you can't.
"It takes too long to invoke the Spirit in spiritual manifestations. It's over if you're suppressed in the meantime, and even normal magic can't be used flashy if you show a gap, or it'll end up cut off by small-handed magic, right? It's a good battle with acrylics in terms of speed. So I guess acrylics have eyes that beat me, too, don't they?
"... you just have eyes to win, don't you think you can win? It's not a premise to run into it head-on. You wouldn't let that happen if you were serious, would you?
"... Come on, what do you think?
I'm not saying I'm a samurai, so I'm not going to choose the means to the extent that it's not unethical.
But I'm only the queen. I want to be clean and right as someone who stands on top of people, but I also don't hate to wear mud if I have to.
If I did deal with acrylics, I would try to complete them so that I wouldn't let her take advantage of her strengths. It's a good battle with Anis at speed, but it seems inferior to Anis at destructive and breakthrough power.
It's just that acrylics are the power of demonic stones, very naturally windy. That's a way of fighting that reminds me of my mother-in-law somewhere. If we can use that power to a greater extent, she could be stronger, too.
"... I'd like to meet my mother-in-law once."
"... why do I have to meet your mother?"
"It's Al's mother, isn't it?
…………
"Hey, focus! If you're playing witch mountain games!
"I'm not playing witch mountain games, see"
I wave my arm and point it at the chimera that has pressed the lady knight of fire, and I fly my neck. A fiery lady knight spinning through the universe as she stepped straight through pierces the blazing sword from the cross section and burns it down.
Has this stopped ninety people?... I really want to recover demon stones and corpses and turn them to research, but it's a shame we have to burn them down because it's dangerous.
"Instead of burning it down, was there ice pickling too...? No, there's no guarantee it won't melt..."
"... you can afford it"
When I whined about that, they turned a cold gaze from the acrylic. Transfer your gaze to Al, even though you don't realize it.
"Al, what's your next chimera?
"Wait.... what is this?
"Al?"
"Something seems to be running around from the chimera. Looks like he's after more than one chimera."
"Running away? Isn't it a demon?
"No, it's a move I've never seen before that's attacking me simultaneously in multiple ways to chase demons"
"... in what direction?
"Over there."
We started moving in the direction Al pointed out. I also heard the sound of the trees being knocked down because of the multiple movements of the chimera.
So even without Al's enemies, I was able to grasp the position. As I was headed that way, the acrylic stood up its ears perfectly.
"- People!
"Huh?"
"I hear screams......! It's people being chased by chimeras! That too... this is the word of the Kingdom of Cambus!
Acrylic screamed to say he was surprised, and at that moment me and Al looked at each other at the same time. And nod at each other and put your gaze back in front.
"Acrylic! Can you get ahead of me!?"
"Okay!
"I'm the one who's dealing with Chimera! Acrylics must be protected as a priority!
One acrylic nods and goes to jump forward at a faster rate of running than we do. Kick the tree. Go ahead and bounce. Acrylics are going to be invisible soon.
Screaming has also become audible to my ears as I desperately follow that back. The strange shouts of multiple chimeras overlap, with unpleasant choruses. The screams that intersect in it were truthful, help, and shouted in the words of the Kingdom of Cambus.
It was the woman who was screaming. It is thinly dirty with mud and leaves on and is desperately trying to run away from the chimera. Chimera approached with a drooling of covetousness that she would not eat her like that.
"Let, let, uh-huh!
Acrylic stuck there like a shooting star, pulling the residual light of Mana Blade. Crush the looming chimera's eyes and stop the momentum. In the meantime, release Mana Blade's magic blade, reclaim the spear and grab the woman and leave the scene.
"Yufi! I'm here. The chimera is the last one around! Apparently, they were gathering after that woman!
"-Okay."
On Al's instructions, I let the Female Horseman of Fire storm into a flock of chimeras. The assaulting female knight crosses her arms with a sword, trying to shrink to the center of the chimeras.
And I tried to spread my hands wide open to widen my body wide. In a moment, the magic that was picturing the Spirit was "liberated".
The Spirit "returns" to the original magic. The scorching vortex swallowed the chimera without giving it time to escape, creating a crater in part of the forest.
It remains on the ground like the remnants of the fire have crept through, but there are no signs of an extended burn spreading in the woods. Sounds like the controls went well.
"Put out the fire. You get the acrylic, I'll get a grip on the demons around me."
"Okay."
I turned my foot away from the blast toward the acrylic holding the woman.
Acrylic was letting the woman he was holding sit down to let the tree keep her back. But what surprised me... was that the acrylic was sticking a spear to the woman's neck.
"Acrylic? What?!"
Running over to her to stop the acrylic, I saw the look on the acrylic's face.
That's anger. An irresistible rage overflowed from the acrylic, and a spear thrust at the woman was trembling in small pieces.
The woman with the spear poked at her acrylic is shuddering and raising her plundering voice. Are those eyes looking at acrylics or not? I was just trembling in fear.
"... this guy...! Why are you here...!
"Acrylic......?
"This guy, he's one of the guys who was giving instructions while I was being caught!
Acrylic told me that I looked at it with surprise.
Then the woman screamed, not a plundered voice as she was drawn to fear.
"Ha, help... help...! They're gonna kill me...!
