Chapter 4

Part 1

“Alright――――!”

“We did it! Se―rve you right you monsters!”

After Raphael was defeated, the national defense army lowered down all the barrier wall and the entire force including Sumika and Chikori linked up

The Raphael ar their leader and the divine protection of <last fantasia=””> was annihilated with the force of raging wave

Around the corpses of the angels collapsed here and there in the half-destroyed fortification, the soldiers of the national defense arreat joy while praising their fellow colleagues who fought hard and survived

And then Sumika too,

“Chikori-san!”

“Leader……”

She rushed at Chikori as the first thing she did

In contrast Chikori looked e she had said before this,

“……I came”

She played the fool by sticking out her tongue as if to varnish over the matter

But even Sumika too didn’t plan to raise such an issue this late

She took Chikori’s both hands and expressed her gratitude from the bottom of her heart

“I believed in you…… That if it’s Chikori-san then you will surely stand up……”

“Leader told me weren’t you Master is not here anyo away It still remains inside your heart ……I too made promise That’s why, I’ll do my best”

“Yes-“

And then, while Su Chikori’s recovery,

“Sumika!”

Suddenly sohtly at her with the momentum that was like a body blow

The one who hugged her was Lily Hoegarden as fighting at another battlefield

“Wah Lily……so you are also safe”

“That’s =”” class=""> alone, there is a li reckless……!”

Surely her heart was greatly worn away

For Lily who lost both her parents, her best friend Su blood relative

That hy Lily e and presented her honest words

Su the embrace to such Lily

“Thank you for worrying about ht alone at all Because Lily and the others gave your best effort, he was an enemy that I was able to defeat And so this is the victory of all the surviving people in Tokyo life sphere”

“……I wonder, if <liber legis=””> will give us her cooperation with this”

Sumika shook her head toward the question that Lilyher tears

“That is……so that Vel-san has to decide herself, so I can say nothing It’s just, the thing that we have to do is decided already Even after this there are two

And, it was at that moment――

Suddenly iicians in the battlefield

A black haired girl with cat ears

The mind transed into their view

And then the girl informed in a panicked state

{Everyone, I apologize It’s an eency situation!}

“Bastet-san?”

{It’s the scheuy, he left behind his army inside the labyrinth as prey to lure the eye of le unit here!}

“Wha, what do you mean!?”

Lily asked back to Bastet as talking rapidly in hurry

With that Bastet realized that there was no time to speak about the minor details anymore and spoke bluntly

{

Right after that

Silver rip ran through the sky that was covered by iridescent cloud

The rip was flowing out light thatthe Tokyo life sphere right below

And then, the people in Tokyo life sphere saw

A figure of a person appeared froht

A olden sword in hand

They knew of the face of that man

“That’s……the <s-rank ician=””> of Britain”

“James Weasley……!”

But,

James that was projected in their field of vision

The pair of wings spreading on his back made Sumika convinced

He who betrayed them and decapitated Sumika’s head had also reached the same en like Wan Tairon

Part 2

“How surprising For Raphael to suffer an e defeat”

The wasteland of underworld at the deepest area of the labyrinth he reached

Staring at the battlefield below from the sky, the

In his eyesight that was far stronger than theures of Raphael army that had become corpses collapsed on the battlefield were visible

In addition the presence of Raphael that suddenly disappeared

Gabriel was convinced from all the fact above

――In a surprising development, the humans had annihilated Raphael and <heaven army=””> without the power of vil God=”” user=””> Kamishi+ro Homura

“So the remark of that evil God is not wholly nonsense”

――Don’t underestimate the human too much That’s if you don’t want to lose face excessively

Before they entered Eihort’s labyrinth

He recalled the words of <the crawling=”” chaos=””> that appeared before their eyes,

“Since it become like this, ……I too shall put my act in order”

Gabriel who had never crossed sword for even once let go of the

He liberated his oer as angel

The national defense army looked

At how radiant light was overflowing from James body, and Jaradually changing shape

Before long the light settled down and the one as floating in the sky wasn’t James

It wasn’t a human

It was a body that was around two meter in a whole with luster that was like ashen silver metal

His two hands froe blade, hite face that ithout eyes, nose, and mouth

That appearance which was like a knight clad in arthened by Gabriel’s power

That

“Here I come, children of man”

Gabriel began to descend down slowly toward the land of the underworld

This attack of the enereatly shaken the national defense army of Tokyo life sphere

“He, he comeee-!”

“This is a lie right, even though we still haven’t take care of our ally’s death!”

“Don’t be panicked! The eneun and the SAM! Aiot-!”

In contrast with the national defense arave out order with strong tone

As if having their butt kicked by that order, the national defense ar the fortification facilities that were possessed by the fairies in panic

――They did but,

All of that ended in nothing as if it was only natural

“No, no good! The bullets and h!”

“Chih”

Hasad who held the coue in irritation toward that report

(I heard it already at the strategy ……!)

Different with other angels, even though <special inal spirit status was extreround=””>

It was to the degree that the spirit status of the like of human or fairy wouldn’t be able to even touch the

No, if it was only in the level of touching, then it was possible if they were using the angel feather scattered around at their feet just like what Chikori did against Raphael before this

But to break the <holy ground=””> and further to even inflict a decisive blow that could defeat Gabriel, then speaking about someone who could do that,

――There was only Sumika alone in this place

That hy Hasad was begging at Suh mind transmission

“<gri to do now!? How should we act!?”

“Leader Hasad……-“

But Suive an answer to the question thrown at her

Just in case she had been thinking about various things for the sake of the second battle

However Gabriel’s appearance was too fast, far surpassing her prediction

She was unable to make any preparation at all

The counter was already wholly unusable

Now that it came to this, there was only one way to defeat Gabriel

In the current situation, there was only one tactic they could take

“……What can defeat that <grim bullet=””>…… So――, -“

But, Sumika was unable to say the detail further

Why, it was because she are that the thing she was going to say couldn’t even be called a plan

Yes, if they were going to defeat Gabriel, it would be through an act that was like directing her allies to a deep valley and having the that valley with their corpses so she could then cross over

It was so that she really couldn’t say out loud

That hy she couldn’t talk She wasn’t talking But――

“I got it! In other words nu here, all of us just need to attack and hold hiriot it too!?”

“ “ “OOOOOoOOoOooo!!!!” “ “

Hasad guessed all Suave that order

To this the soldiers of national defense ar will

The voice of them made Su twisted to the limit

That was only natural

Because the girl understood

With this plan, innumerable humans would die

Possibly even the important friends of Sumika

However, ――there was no other plan she could propose in the current situation, now that Gabriel was coround, she didn’t even have time to think

“Forgive me……-“

Suized to all the people in this place with a voice as if she was spitting out blood

And, toward this,

“Don’t give us that kind of face <griht only because you are here!”

“That’s right Even with that kind of plan, we can do it because we believe that if it’s you then you will surely beat that guy”

Not a single one was saying any complaint, they cheered up Sumika, some people with loud voice, some people with mind transmission

And then Hasad too, he even showed a daring smile in that heroic look

“You said it weren’t you , is the duty people who live

But see I too also think like this

If it’s the duty of the living to fight for the sake of survival,

Fighting even if you have to throay that really precious life for the sake of protecting, is the pride of human”

“Don’t let it be for nothing This obstinacy of us!”

The unshakeable deter Hasad and the others’ words

Just what kind of tragedy they would fall into due to this tactic

Toward their fighting spirit that didn’t fail even when they understood that, Sumika also resolved herself

From the first place this

Even when she was battling Raphael, she worked out a multitude of plans before she finally was able to defeat hith that she obtained

Then,

“――Understand!”

Just like they ere believing in her, she too would believe in them

There was nothing she could do except that

To this resolve of Sumika,

“We will go too!”

“Yep-!”

Chikori and Lily ere standing beside her also started to move

Their ai down at The very front line

To the back of those two,

“Chikori-san Lily! ……I will be counting on you two!”

Sumika sent them her yell

Both of them accepted that with powerful smile and ran off

And then――

“There will be the danger of friendly fire so don’t use firearel’s feather to your <sorcery alcheicians, wrap the feather with bandage to your bayonet and fight! It’s fine even if it’s just a few seconds! We are going to push back that flat face with all of us!”

“ “ “OOOOoOooOoOooOooooo――――――—!!!!” “ “

At the sa down on the battlefield, the soldiers of national defense army moved all at once

They stuck the angel’s feather on their weapon, without any formation at all, they became like a tsunami and assaulted Gabriel

The situation was one versus 150,000

However the ene=”” class=""> demon

Against hi like numerical superiority

In the nextterrible would happen

Even while being convinced of that,

(I won’t let this be pointless……! I’ll finish this in one attack!)

Sumika didn’t avert her eyes

She readied <grim bullet=””> in both hands, she opened her eyes wide that she even forgot to blink to probe for the instant of the victory chance

Looking at the action of those humans――

“How beautiful, all of you”

Gabriel spilled voice that sounded ad from somewhere in his face that didn’t have mouth

“Eh?”

“Not considering your own life for the sake of other people, you stand againstthat you are noon the slim hope That spirit of self-sacrifice, is exactly the precious emotion that God loves”

This praise of Gabriel wasn’t a lie

He felt from the bottom of his heart that mankind’s action was nice

And then exactly for that reason, the difference of sense of values between huht here

“Therefore――I shall save all of you”

Saying that, Gabriel walked on the ground as if he was sliding, he slipped through between the few hundred soldiers attacking hiel feather stuck on their bayonet, ――just as he passed through, the flesh of all people he crossed changed into meat slices around ten centimeter each after that

“~~~~~~–!”

“Wha, what’s this I cannot see anything!?”

“U-, oE”

That terrible spectacle of the thing that used to be human shaped turned into meat slices made the people that weren’t used to battlefield pressed on their mouth to endure their nausea

But,

“Don’t be anxious I don’t kill them”

Those words of Gabriel made the soldiers quickly realized

The lumps of meat that became small pieces

Any one of thele drop of blood

“Thi, this is……!”

“I only [unfasten] theic and make them sleep at the sa to God The souls that will be entrusted with the honor of becoround of this underworld with your blood I won’t even torment you vainly ……This

Saying that, this time Gabriel brandished his arth

At the sa out from his body

That sight made Sumika’s spine shi+ver

It was because Suician that she perceived it

That it was bad

“GET DOWNNNNNNNNNNN—!!!!”

Even while getting herself down, she yelled by squeezing out all the air inside her lung

At that moment――

Sumika felt chill in her neck

It was like a cold steel was licking her nape, a chill that made her whole body tremble

That was the proof that the spot where Suhly bloay,

Ninety percent of the national defense army’s soldiers at five hundred et their body down following Sumika’s yell were felled

(Just with one attack, more than a thousand people……-!)

The sliced meats of their friends that were piled in front of their eyes

Everyone shuddered fro that

And then in the middle of disastrous scene that Gabried made himself,

“Now Following that willpower, possessing spirit of noble self-sacrifice, you can co me If your soul will shi+ne because of that reason, I won’t blame that with irreverence Show your worth to God to your heart’s content”

Gabriel spread his two areheartedly

It was as though he was even going to embrace the humans

To this the humans,

“That’s unneeded assistance, looking down on us so high and hty like that……-!”

Not faltering against the destruction that Gabriel brought, the second wave attack began

The ene=”” class="">

Of course they were resolved of a destruction of this level

No, he was surely already holding back considerable even with this

The fact was, not a single one of the people cut by Gabriel had died

They were parted by holy

Even the attack before this wherecute coiddo flame=””>

Gabriel was still holding back

He was going easy on them

Then, right noas a chance

The mankind persuaded themselves like that, all people other than those who could use Hero Skill of sure hit equipped close range weapon and carried out besieging attack froree of Gabriel with all their force

No matter how many sacrifices would come out, they would overwhelrim bullet=””>

This war of attrition with first class suicide attack was carried out with that resolve

Against this mankind’s number strike, Gabriel didn’t escape to the sky and kept standing on the ground

Just like before he didn’t even show ahis arm

――Just what in the world he is planning

The student knight Rozalind Wagner as in the head of the second wave felt doubt for an instant

But she iht

It didn’tto do

What they should do was to suppress Gabriel even for a few seconds

Then it was convenient if the ene still defenselessly

They would hold him doith this chance

Encouraging herself like that, the instant she stepped into the range of five meter around Gabriel――

“eh”

Rozalind saw the sight of her own field of vision tilting violently

Gabriel didn’t le movement

Nevertheless, the head and li Gabriel were disconnected froround without flowing out a single drop of blood

All of the as done to them

“Roze……-!?”

Anna as running behind Rozalind peeled her eyes wide open to that sight

Even Anna that was in the rear of the second wave didn’t understand what happened

――Was Gabriel laying out a barrier that generated slash?

She didn’t understand

But it was dangerous to recklessly approach

“You ba,STAaRD!”

That hy Anna was firing rapidly with the ht distance

The rear group of the second wave other than her was alsothe same decision

However, the bullets and ic beam they fired were all scattered like mist five meter around Gabriel as expected

“shi+tty bastard! He is laying out soround=””>!”

The soldiers firing clicked their tongue in this situation, but,

“Lies……”

Anna who had good eyesight certainly saw it

The lead bullets she fired

The instant where they approached Gabriel to gouge him

Gabriel’s ie that looked as if he was ili lines and the bullets were cut apart into pieces, she saw that sight

Yes It wasn’t that Gabriel didn’t move

The existences that entered his range were thoroughly cut apart thoroughly in every little bit one by one

That speed was far faster than even bullet, to the level that huht of that swordsmanshi+p

(The diuy, how are we going to――)

It was the end if she was caught

In front of Anna as shuddering like that, Gabriel brandished the blades at his both hands again in large ht couldn’t see, and his body rotated

damn it

Without even any ti like that,

“Kuh, ha”

Right after that, the blade of divinity that was released in circle shape around Gabriel once again

With that one attack, the second as mostly exterminated

Anna too had her torso and waist decapitated

There was no pain

But sleepiness that was hard to resist stole the consciousness of the sacrifices

(Sorry……, Hoshi+kawa-chan…………-)

And then Anna too cruround with her consciousness lost

The mountain of meats that had became finely sliced pieces piled up

That grotesque scene

But even so,

“Don’t falterrr-! Hold him doith number! It’s fine even if you just take a few seconds of his time-!”

“ “ “U, UOOOoOOOOOOO!!!!” “ “

They didn’t stop

Didn’t pull back

Everyone understood

That as long as they didn’t defeat this enemy before them, they didn’t have any future even if they escaped

However, not only they couldn’t even get closer to hi

Looking at that terrible spectacle of her allies, Lily was convinced

That by kept applying pressure with number like this, they couldn’t even touch Gabriel

Then a trick was needed

That hy Lily cooperated with a certain person in advance and went forward

And then she activated her

She drew an arch flying up and soared right above Gabriel

From there,

(The greatest range ofwith one attack! I will strike him with that one attack!)

“<gae bolg=””>–!!!!”

Consecutive 150 ht above Gabriel in one attack

Although it was merely 150 rapid attack of spear

For Gabriel who showed how he dealt with the shooting in the scale of as =””> wasn’t really that big of threat

It was a technique that he could easily defend

――Lily also understood that

That hy she didn’t aim at Gabriel

What she thrust her spear at was the ground around Gabriel

The plate of Tokyo life sphere’s outer layer

The plate that was =””> lost its hardness and cause a collapse of approximately fifty centimeter with Gabriel as the center

Below the place was a hollow for the sake of electric cable and water pipe to travel

And then this phenomenon where he suddenly lost his foothold

The posture of that

“Now!”

At that slight opening, Ichinotani Chikori that aiting behind in order towith Lily in advance rushed toward Gabriel And then――

“<meteor strike=””>――–!!!!”

She swung her fist that was gripping an angel’s feather

This cooperation of Lily and Chikori splendidly caught Gabriel, this was the first attack of mankind that reached him

Chikori’s fist that struck at Raphael definitely caught the stomach of Gabriel

――That was all

“No, way……-“

Chikori opened her eyes wide in despair and her voice trembled

The response that caet, was a feedback like she was hitting the earth, a thick heavy feeling that was difficult to sway

Speaking of that thick and heavy feel, it was to the degree that it was Chikori’s fist that struck which got destructed

“It’s splendid how that ainst Raphael then he ht flinch from that attack Be that as it may……I am Gabriel The person who is allowed to stand at the left of God’s throne Although we are the same

At the next instant, Gabriel who spread his wings widely once again rotated both his hands and cut down everything around him

Lily, Chikori, and all other people altogether

Even though their opponent was just a single person――

Even though he didn’t even plan to strike them down――

They couldn’t even properly approach him

They couldn’t even touch him

Just when they thought someone finally could touch hie

To that fact, all the survivors began to feel a pressure as if the sky was falling at them

Sumika too was also, the same

Because the girl ise, she was recognizing the danger of the situation more than anyone

――Coeous

Just how easy it would be if Gabriel was like Raphael, holding conte down at theth recklessly

If that was the case, they could also try to rub his e

But, Gabriel was different

Although this

He was constantly serious, carrying out the coiven to him from the God to [save the humans]

In hiht existing

Earnestly Accurately just like a machine

However due to that, no opening was created No chance was created

Man and angel The difference in status of their existence that came from the difference in their basic ability was expressed in reality

(……At this rate)

All of the

Sumika felt a fierce impatience

If the sacrifice would just increase unreasonably at this rate, shouldn’t she came out to make her move

She becahtlessness

It was at such a time

Theforward toward the surviving force that was stricken with fear unnaturally pitched forward

The reason was――

“I, got you……!”

At Gabriel’s feet

The left foot of Gabriel, Chikori who lost everything below her torso was clinging with just her arm

(I see! Chikori-san’s Hero Skill……!)

Sumika remembered

The heroic spirit she was contracted with, the legend of the <depraved monk=””> Musashi+bou Benkei

That hero continued to fight until none of his life re

The contractor of Musashi+bou Benkei reproduced that legend――<standing death=””> as a Hero Skill

So to speak, she was able toas she wasn’t dead yet

Due to that Hero Skill, the sleepiness due to Gabriel’s holy ainst Chikori

She was grappling Gabriel’s leg only with the strength of her arm

And then,

“Now! Hold him down all of youuuu!”

“ “ “UAAaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!” “ “

Matching this action of Chikori, Hasad gave the coan to move all at once

They were already not using weapon or anything

With both hands that had angel feather bandaged on it, they were pinning down Gabriel

Just like honeybees that were crushi+ng to death a hornet that entered their nest

And then while holding on to Gabriel, Hasad yelled

“MISSY–! COME ON–!!”

Defeat this threat with <griether

Sumika didn’t hesitate after this far

Everyone abandoned themselves in order to make this chance for her

To be the only one hesitating after this late and then wasted the chance that Chikori and others grasped in deathly desperation, Sumika wasn’t that foolish

She had already pulled the triggers of the two handguns which had finished loading the bullets――,

“<gririm>< p=””>

“I see So you are the one other vil God=”” user=””> who defeated Raphael”

Just like a frame that was suddenly thrust into a fil, before her eyes without any advance warning at all, the existence of a white flat face appeared in the range where their breath could be feltwas frozen
