Chapter 100 - Volume 10 (1/2)

The kingdoms capital had fallen into chaos after the sudden attack which broke the barrier and appearance of the Demon race.

As people start running out of their houses, they wore stunned faces as they were greeted to the great barrier shattering. To such a site, the patrol groups could only angrily shout, “Don’t leave your houses!”. The ones with quick thinking quickly pulled themselves together. They attempted to leave the capital with only the bare minimum luggage. Meanwhile, a significant amount of people gathered at the royal palace gates to seek shelter! Screams were heard.

Although it was late at night, with this amount of noise, it wouldn’t be weird for a mob to be formed in the next few minutes. Especially because the royal palace wasn’t able to calm down the confusion either. Anyways, the royal palace was confused the most about the situation, especially when everything happened in the flash of a few seconds. By the time they noticed, they were already placed into a situation where a sword was drawn before their throats. It was to be expected.

Although they were trying to quickly assemble their army…..

Pakyaaaan!!

It was not on time.

The last barrier was finally broken, the force of monsters that were created through Age of God magic and Demon soldiers riding them surged forward, making the land rumble in the process. Their last defensive line was only a wall made of stone which enclosed the kingdom’s capital. Although that’s the only thing, it was still boasted of having considerable strength…….however thinking that it would last very long would be too optimistic.

In order to crush the wall, the Demons assembled multiple people to cast advanced magic. Along with that the monsters casted peculiar flame and lightning magic. Ice shards and rock shards shot out, and a group of cyclops-beetles which were four meter in length started scraping the walls with their maces.

Even at a different location, there were boar typed monsters which measured up to five meters in length, bashing against the wall with an intense force while clad in wind to increase their power. With that, a destruction on the level of an earthquake struck the wall with every impact. Furthermore, the monsters with flight such as black eagles and grey dragons were in the skies and completely ignored the wall and continued in to invade the capital.

Though the soldiers that were stationed on top of the wall were fighting back desperately towards the unexpected large army, their interception was badly carried out. It was as if trying to counterattack a steel train’s rush with an airsoft gun.

In such a situation, standing by Tio who was watching the overall situation from the big clock tower in the capital, were Yue and Shia who had just left the royal castle.

“…….Tio, have you found that guy?”

“Tio-san, where’s the idiotic guy at?”

“….You guys….no, maa, although I understand your feelings? ‘With everyone gathered together it’s much more reassuring!’ is what I remember Princess Liliana saying, she’s quite pitiful…..to be discarded so easily.”

“……Don’t mind.”

“It’s a minor thing.”

Tio was staring at Yue and Shia with an amazed expression, the two didn’t seem to think much about it at all. This must also be Hajime’s influence. They’re not interested if they have no opponent.

Yue and Shia both have their eyes opened wide while looking for Freed Baghaur, and then their telepathy stones reacted. Hajime’s voice came from it.

“Oi! Tio! Come over here immediately!”

“Nuo! Master? What’s wrong?”

Due to the unexpectedly strong voice which came from the telepathy stone, Tio who was called instinctively expressed her surprise.

“A dangerous one came out. I want you to take care of Sensei. Otherwise, I won’t be able to go all out.”

“!? Alright, I understand! I’ll head over there immediately!”

Tio who recognized that Hajime was fighting an opponent where he needed to be at full power, in an instant used “Dragon Transformation”, then quickly dashed towards the target which was 8,000 meters in the sky.

“…..Hajime, be careful”

“Hajime-san! Yue-san and I will be going to finish off the monster tamers, so don’t worry!”

“Ha? Aren’t you guys with the Princess….Uuo, that was close! Sorry, it doesn’t seem like I’ll be able to talk in this situation! Though I don’t know what you guys plan on doing, be careful as well”

Though Hajime seemed doubtful about what Shia said, due to the intense battle he was in, he had to cut the connection. While protecting Aiko, the opponent wasn’t letting up against Hajime at all. In an instant, Yue and Shia started wondering if they should go and help.

“Yue-san, what will you do?”

“……If its Hajime then it’ll be alright. Tio will be there too. More so, we need to take care of the demon tamer. Also, we can’t allow them to break the Age of God magic formation.”

Right, the reason why Yue came out to the battlefield, though there was also the reason for getting revenge for Hajime, she also couldn’t just let the other Age of Gods magic bearer, Freed, run around unchecked.

In the case that Freed knew where the great labyrinth at Kamiyama was at, Just like before at the Great Volcano, he’ll likely head there first. Moreover, he might destroy the magic formation afterwards. They noticed that the monsters and structure of the Great Volcano will gradually be restored, so it’s possible that over time, everything will be restored, but it’s unknown how much time it would actually take. Therefore, Yue wanted to avoid that at any costs, and decided to attack Freed.

In the first place, retaliation was 90% of the reason…..

Then, at that time, while on top of the clock tower Yue and Shia noticed two monsters looking like a black eagle at approximately 3 to 4 meters in length. While eyeing Yue and Shia, they then dove down to attack from both the left and right.

Kueeeeee!!

The black eagles let out a courageous shout and approached. Without looking, Shia took out Doryukken from the “Treasure Warehouse” and set it to shooting mode, and then without hesitation shot out an exploding slug bullet. Yue as well, without looking, just snapped her fingers with her right hand and innumerable wind blades shot out like heavy rain.

Of the two black eagles which were approaching the girls, one’s head blew up due to a shock wave, and the other, like being executed by a Guillotine was chopped up into pieces. Their tragic appearances fell onto the roof of a civilian’s house. At that time, the people who were inside the house heard the noise and became extremely nervous from the sound.

After those two were killed, all monsters with flight turned around and noticed Yue and Shia. If you looked closely, you’d notice that about a third of them had Demons riding on them. After looking like they were surveying the situation when noticing the two eagles dropping down, understanding that the other party was a rabbitman and petite girl, as if looking at an idiot, they snorted at Yue and Shia, and then began chanting their magic.

Both Yue and Shia didn’t have any intentions to guard the kingdom from the big army, however their purpose was Freed Baghaur. It was like trying to leave without permission, there was no other way but to counterattack when being targeted.

For now, Shia said, “We aren’t enemies, just now we were attacked so there was no other choice.”, although they were laughing at the foolishness it didn’t seem like they had any intentions of stopping their attacks.

The Demons thought the opponent was worthless so they proceeded and left a few friends behind to deal with it, in the next moment, the screams and roaring sound of their last moments resounded out from behind, and when they turned around to see the cause, their eyes became wide in astonishment.

Googaaaaaaa!!

It was a dragon made of thunder, roaring as it devoured their friends and monsters one after another.

To the spectacle, the Demons could only stare in blank surprise. Trying to escape from the thunder dragon, a Demon desperately tried to get away towards his friends on his monster, stretching out his hand, as if asking for help.…..however, in the next instant an exploding slug bullet flew through the wind with murderous intent from behind, and the gray dragon and its rider broke into pieces.

Although the blood relatives of those who died became ferocious, they struggled to understand what they just witnessed. The Demons that became stiff pulled themselves together and prepared to pursue the cause. And they began looking for the girls who crushed their companion in an instant. Due to the unexpectedness, they began seeing illusions of their own deaths. With the high tension, they forgot to even wipe their own sweat as they strained their eyes. And, in front of them appeared Yue and Shia.

However, to them their appearance was completely unexpected. Because rather than hiding from the group pursuing them, they stayed in the same place. Yue and Shia didn’t even bother looking at them. Just like the first time, they concentrated their sights on searching for something outside of the wall. Their backs spoke louder than words.

In other words, they couldn’t care less.

The moment they guessed that, the Demons’ expressions which were stiff with high tension distorted into anger and rage. While breaking their comrades into pieces, in Yue and Shia’s eyes, they were nothing more than pebbles being kicked on the roadside. As a warrior, or due to their pride as Demons being trampled, heat ran through their entire bodies and their blood boiled.

“Damn you—!!”

“Uooooooo!!”

“Die–!!”

While consumed by anger, their abilities as soldiers were natural and they got into their positions. They showed great teamwork. They formed a box on all sides to surround them and then they all shot magic at the same time. The magic from the Demons were excellent. Normally, the scene would cause someone’s expression to twist in despair.

However, they were amazed by Yue’s bored expression. Then, she flexed her finger like a thin baton.

“……The difference in ability, you should learn to realize it instinctively.”

At the same time that she said those words, all the magic was completely blocked out by the thunder dragon coiling around Yue and Shia like a cocoon. And, the thunder dragon once again opened its jaws like a gate, as if they were committing suicide, they all looked as if they were voluntarily jumping in.

Then, expecting that multiple people on the other side would begin chanting magic which excelled in penetration, another part of the thunder dragon opened. Shia whose rabbit ears were fluttering dove out with the speed of a cannonball.

In an instant, all the nearby Demons knew that she planned to obstruct their chants, so they all casted the beginner class magic flame bullet which practically took no time to cast at all.

However, Shia, as if she didn’t even care, dodged all the bullets with simple outbursts from using Doryukken to change her orbit, she then swung Doryukken sideways aiming at the three Demons who were chanting.

“Ri… ya… aaaaa!”

With one shout, Doryukken was swung, and due to gravity magic, it obtained the weight of 4 tons on the moment of impact. With that, her body was also strengthened through physical reinforcement. The result was better off unsaid. The three Demons’ upper bodies were blasted away. Even the monsters that were being ridden had their spines crushed due to the shockwave. They were blown away while raising the screams of their last moments.

Shia who was still in the air, in that instant cut down Doryukken and her own weight to 5 kilos or less, and again, danced through the air like a feather. Then, switching Doryukken back into shooting mode, exploding slug bullets were let loose aiming at the Demons that shot the flame bullets. As intended, once again in the night sky of the Kingdom, bright red flowers bloomed.

Shia, she pulls out 2 colorful disks which shot out into the air from the “Treasure Warehouse”, they floated in the air disregarding gravity and was being used as a stand. She looked over the surroundings while in place, tapping Doryukken on her shoulder.

Just then, in a place a little away, the last Demons left was about to desperately commence a suicide attack on Yue.

“Little girl… gaaa!! I’m gonna kill you!!”

With bloodshot eyes, and an “even if I’m stabbed!” kind of feeling could be felt from his desperation. However, Yue’s attitude towards him was cool like a wet blanket.

“… You’re 300 years too early, boy…”

He probably planned on attacking when the thunder dragon was still dealing with his friend. However, his lips distorts when he thinks that what Yue’s words meant was that the thunder dragon had already returned, immediately after that, his head was cleanly cut off by a wind blade that came from below and it flew into the alleyway with spinning eyes.

After time was meaninglessly taken, Yue began to search for Freed once again. Next to her, Shia landed while carrying Doryukken.

“They completely think that we’re part of the Kingdom’s fighting forces right?”

“… It doesn’t matter. They can think that if they want.”

“How dry… Maa, it certainly seems that way…..”

The two joked around with each other as Freed was not easily found, Maybe, he’s already gone to the great labyrinth through space magic…….they began to become uneasy, then,

“!? Yue-san!”

“Nn.”

At the same time as Shia’s warning, Yue jumped away from the clock tower without hesitation. Immediately after that, an oval film appeared in the middle of air, a large aurora gushed out from it. The aurora completely erased the upper part of the clock tower where Yue and them were standing, however it was so powerful that the building was blown off radically.

“As expected, some kind of foresight. How annoying……”

At the same time that the masculine voice resounded, the Demons, Freed Baghaur who had red hair and was the white dragon’s rider, appeared from the oval film. From his expression, you could see irritation from the ease of dodging the surprise attack.

Then a white dragon’s appearance came through the “gate”, along with several Demons riding on the back of black eagles and grey dragons appearing by the hundreds, Yue and Shia were completely surrounded.

At the same time……a terrible roaring sound is heard and a part of the outer wall was finally destroyed, afterwards demons and Demons invade the capital one after another, some of the troops saw Yue and Shia and rushed up fiercely at them. It appears that they intend on completely killing Yue and Shia here once and for all.

“I can’t believe that you’ve managed to survive from that situation. …..As I expected, that man’s passion to survive……is too dangerous. To start with, we’ll completely kill you who is that guy’s companions.”

Towards the words of Freed which contained hatred, however, Yue and Shia were both fearless. And, they both replied back at the same time. It strangely, was the same words that the boy whom they loved currently in the sky 8,000 meters above the ground had said.

“Kill us if you can (please).” X2

As if those words were a signal, the surrounding demons and Demons shot magic all at once.

Flame spears of the caliber which was enough to even scorch the atmosphere were flying around, lasers of water were shot out cutting through space, wind of murderous intent became blades and attacked, a bombardment of ice and snow roared out, sands of petrification and permanent poison scatters about, and a whip of thunder shaped like a snake moved around in the night sky. And, an Aurora tore through the sky just in case.

A group of 40 Demons or more and over 100 demons. In every direction, lies an enemy. The sight is filled with a storm of attacks.

However, Yue and Shia, were still calm despite being surrounded by death on all sides, their postures showed no sign of attempting to dodge. Some Demons, “Have they given up…….”, as their expressions showed that they were losing momentum, only Freed raised his awareness because of an unpleasant presentiment which rose intensely from within.

“Field Pierce.”

Yue activated her Age of Gods magic.

Immediately after that, two shining gates appeared before the Aurora. Freed dubiously drops his eyebrow. When connecting the gate to such coordinates, even if they teleport the aurora, it’ll likely appear out of the other gate for a direct hit.

However, that expectation, could only be assumed if only one pair of gates were created. Freed based his expectation on his own limitations.

Therefore, he couldn’t understand why Yue and Shia jumped through the gate, it wasn’t possible for him to notice immediately that a gate had already appeared behind them.

“Cra-, evade it!”

Yue and Shia disappeared through the other gate, the moment when the aurora connected with the gate, though Freed who noticed his misunderstanding warned his companions, but it was already too late.

Although Freed himself was able to evade on time, many subordinates behind him… while being directly hit by the aurora became slightly conscious that they were dying, and with that only a few were left.

“Curse you, killing my subordinates. ……I didn’t expect you to be able to open 2 at the same time….does that mean I’ve still underestimated you…….”

Rage filled his eyes, at the same time, he was also in awe that Yue was able to create both gates simultaneously and properly succeeded to use it in combat. There was also no traces of chanting or using magic formations either, though he confirmed their true nature in his mind, right now, it’s necessary to look for the 2 missing people.

“Freed! Over there!”

One of Freed’s subordinates pointed outside the outer wall. Certainly Yue and Shia were there.

It was difficult to fight as houses were right underneath them. If Freed truly hopes for a confrontation between them, it would be unlikely that he would just continue invading the Kingdom’s capital, and so he would transfer himself directly outside of the outer walls. Of course, it would be an emergency situation if he actually continued his invasion instead of confronting Yue and Shia, as the sickle of the death god would surely swing down on his back.

Because Freed also understood this, he couldn’t turn his back against them. Yue stretched her right hand out and with her finger Kui Kui bent it as gesture to approach, from this action, all Demons’ rage exceeded their boiling point.

It was obvious that the young girl with a childish appearance was provoking them, and the detestable rabbitman who slaughtered their comrades was also there, with that in their minds, “We’ll be your opponents.”, while lining up their sights….the provocation wasn’t possible to ignore due to their own pride as the superior race even if the opponents were few in numbers.

“You’re only a little girl!”

“You dirty beast, don’t get so full of it!”

While shouting such abusive words, all the Demons attacked at the same time. They sent the demons after Yue who was able to fire off fatal magic in rapid succession without time lags at all. From the ground, part of the large army also attacks Yue and Shia fiercely.

Shia, thanks to the “Treasure Warehouse”, was able to continuously fire out explosive slug bullets which were practically unlimited in number. In the sky, and even on the ground, Shia’s magical power emits a color resembling moonstones, rippling out, in the next instant, it was converted into a shockwave and destruction scattered everywhere. The only thing that remained were only their broken corpses, crushed as if they were ran over to death.

And, there, the white dragon and grey dragons all vomited out their breaths at once. The attack would be fatal to Shia even with physical strengthening applied when hit directly. However, Shia wasn’t panicking at all.

““Exceeding Curse.”

Yue shot out a black swirling globe which appeared before Shia’s eyes. The jet black sphere contained supergravity, just like a black hole, the aurora’s approaching Shia were twisted then completely devoured.
