Chapter 515: First Anniversary Extra Chapter ~~ The Visitors Beginnings Part 1 ② : Encounter ~~ (1/2)

Without uttering a word, the girl held up two knives, one black and one white, and quietly took her stance. The girl's face was hidden by her robe, and although it was impossible for one to read her expression, they can feel impatience from her.

(Unbelievable…… These guys are ridiculously strong. If people with this strength are considered ”average in this world”…… This is going to be bothersome.)

The Demons in front of her eyes are so powerful that they are almost at the top of this Demon Realm, but the girl from another world doesn't know that.

Although the girl shuddered at the thought that there could possibly be so many powerful people in this world, she kicked the ground and charged, not showing the agitation on her face.

[Hah! If she's charging at us, that means we're going to fight, right!?]

When Megiddo sees the girl coming towards him in a straight line, he ferociously smiles and welcomes her with a powerful swing of his fist. As the enormous Megiddo swings his fist to her approach, the girl evasively leaps and begins running up Megiddo's arm.

(No matter how I look at him, he looks like the type of person who would try overpowering others with his power. His swing is big and his movement is slow…… But it looks like he would have a tough defense. These muscles of his look like he can take quite a beating. In that case!)

Even as she analyzes Megiddo's power, she doesn't stop moving. Holding the knife in a back-handed grip, with the momentum of her charge, she swung her knife towards Megiddo's face.

However, her slash is stopped by Ein, who suddenly appears and grabs the arm holding the knife.

(Instantaneous movement? No, I can't see any signs for such movements…… It's also unlikely for her to move at a speed that I could not perceive. If she grabbed my hand instead of attacking me, the most likely scenario is that she stopped time. She couldn't attack me with time stopped, so she grabbed me to try and stop me……)

Grabbing Ein's arm as she saw through her ability in a moment's thought, she twisted the arm that Ein grabbed and freed herself from her restraint.

At the same time, her gaze quickly moved to check the others.

(The others haven't attacked. Based on the way she stands, her eye movements, and the way she kneads her magic power, that white hair is probably a magic-user. That one with her butt on the tree is probably someone that has attacks that reach everything on a certain range, but it seems like she's more focused on her friends. I guess she's probably a support type. It doesn't seem like that stupidly large lizard…… Is it because that thing’s attack range is too wide and could engulf its friends?)

Even though she was thinking of all these things, the girl's movements didn't slow down at all, and she evaded Megiddo's fists as if she was flowing water.

As the girl had analyzed, Megiddo and Ein were the ones in charge of melee combat, while the others were preparing to attack when the girl took her distance from them.

In the meantime, Ein stopped time again and tried to get behind the girl…… but she stopped moving and released her hold on time.

[T- This is…… magic threads? S- Since when are these……]

A huge number of magic threads appeared around the girl, and they prevented Ein from taking action. The magic thread was very thin, and the magic power contained in it is weak. They were so weak that they could break with just a mere touch……

However, this magic thread is only immensely effective against Ein. When she stops time, objects are never destroyed and remain unchanged. Therefore, this thread can never be broken during a time stop…… It's an obstacle that only prevents Ein's actions.

Ein had only used her ability against the cloaked girl once…… and after just seeing it once, the girl had seen through Ein's ability and even prepared countermeasures against it.

Ein was also one of the most powerful people in the Demon Realm, and that's why, she intuitively understood. The girl in front of them is dangerous…… and that the longer the fight goes on, the worse off they'll be……

[Isis! Don't mind us! Please shoot!]

[Uuuu…… I…… I understand.]

Following Ein's words, Isis spread her hands out, and as if in response to her actions, a huge magic circle appeared in the sky.

And from that magic circle, a blue flash of absolute zero that freezes everything in its path……

[Don't underestimate me!]

[Wha…… Reflection Magic——— Kuhh.]

With a swing of the girl's knife, the flash went to Isis as if it was reflected in a mirror, to which Isis hurriedly evaded.

But after the girl turned her back in response to Isis' magic, Megiddo swung his fist at the girl.

[You're full of gaps!]

[……I don't have such things.]

[What!? Tsk……]

But the girl's reaction was quick, and without looking back, she threw her white knife at Megiddo. Caught off guard, Megiddo's movements slowed down for a moment before he took evasive movements.

After brushing away all the magic threads that the girl had installed, Ein joined the battle again, but the girl's evasiveness was so precise that it was hard to catch her.

However, it was not as if the girl had the leeway to fight back either. She couldn't find an opening to fight back, so she could only stay on the defense.

The battle is in a stalemate…… The moment that thought crossed the minds of everyone present, the girl took action. It would be unbearable for her as a lone person to force an endurance battle against a group of people.

That's why, the girl changed her mind and distanced herself from Megiddo and Ein. She also knows that making such a decision would make Isis and Magnawell come after her……

As the girl moves away from Megiddo and Ein, Isis unleashes her Anti-Reflective Magic while Magnawell unleashes his breath, blowing at a wide range———— but they lost sight of the girl.

”Nhuu!?”

[……Dis…… appeared?]

They looked surprised for a moment, but the two of them were overwhelmingly strong people…… and they immediately found the girl.

Before they knew it, the girl had moved to the spot where the white knife she had thrown to Megiddo had fallen, and with a fluid motion, she picked it up and held up her stance.

Thereupon, the white knife in the girl's hand began to vibrate at super high-speed, making a high-pitched sound.

[……Pierce, Death.]

”Guooohhh!?”

”Magnawell!?”

The white knife thrown by the girl pierced Magnawell's paw with the speed of a flash. It easily shattered Magnawell's tough scales, but for someone of Magnawell's stature, it can be considered as just a scratch…… However, he was more than a little shocked at the ease with which his own scales had been pierced, making Magnawell's thoughts blank out for a moment.

And with the disappearance of that girl again, Magnawell reflexively leaped up to the skies.

”Guooohhh!?”

[……As I had expected, you lizards have soft underbellies.]

[Whha!? That b*stard…… she's making that instantaneous movement again……]

With the astonished and the others at her back, the girl quietly takes aim at Magnawell that has leaped into the sky.

(Seriously, this big lizard is a hindrance. A super-massive attack that I can't brush off…… It would be extremely troublesome if I fight him along with the support of that time-stopping woman. With that body frame, it can't fly, but it can still leap huh…… Now then, I guess I should kill it already huh?)
