Volume 1 Chapter 7 (2/2)
”Tsk, where's Suzuka?”
Homura and Ayato raised their heads in shock Suzuka was also next to them, but her state was unusual As Ayato approached her in panic, there was a big laceration visible on her abdomen
Then, at that point, she recalled About that fact that her Gift being different fro the target had to be done separately
While their faces were still pale, they looked at the ayin whirls
”NNo way!!!”
───It was such a close call that if they were late even by an instant, their lives would've ended
Should she transfer herself, or transfer Homura and Ayato
In a situation where she had to choose one sideSuzuka chose to save the two of them
”T-The wound is deeper than mine from back then! A-At this rate,”
”This requires iency treatment in ”Underwood”! Suzuka, can you use it just two more times!?”
”Ku!!! But then, Aya-chan will!”
”Don't worry about me! Even if it's just the two of you, please leave first!!!”
While coughing blood, Suzuka disappeared, followed by Homura
When Ayato was the only one left back at that place, the Minotaur was already charging from behind
Minotaur rushed forth like a heavy tank
However, the residents of ”Underwood” weren't so weak as to let it keep on doing as he pleased to the victim
”Everyone, get in position!!!”
Hearing that command, the Minotaur halted its feet and looked behind
On the opposite shore of the ay, Sharol and Porol of ”Six Scars” have gathered their comrades that were in industrial area, and instructed thee ballista
Holding a baton with a Gryphonit doithout hesitation
”That's the infae Ballista ”Failnaught Ballista”───Launch everything at it!”
The Gryphon baton produced a ind
Along with the wind, the projectiles of fixed type large ballista were also released The arrowheads released froer than the the hu a curve with the tracking Gift
The fifty two arrowheads bigger than the upper arm, fell down all at once with a supersonic speed
For the Minotaur who had parted with its battleaxe and had its power lowered, to withstanding all of this was i both of its hands, the reh Minotaur's whole body
Piercing its right ar to pierce through its chest muscles
『ＧＥＥＥＹＡＡＡＡａａａａ────!!!』
It released a screah that it made the tremors in atmosphere visible
This overwhelh to ainst one beast
However, Porol's gaze did not falter even for a bit
As someone as born in Little Garden, he understood all too well that so like a Celestial Beast wasn't an opponent that would die just from this much
”Everyone, load the next round and stay sharp If you see even the slightest movement, open fire immediately”
On Porol's command, the Beastmen of ”Six Scars” immediately took action
During that tii rushed beside Ayato and supported her shoulder
”I'i ith you,”
”No, It couldn't be helped You are the ”Aristocrat of Little Garden”, and also the holder of ”Judge master” Just because you weren't able to participate in battle, you have nothing to be ashamed of If there's someone who should feel ashamed here───”
Declaring it strongly, Ayato stood up alone However, the situation was unusual
Being a bit overpowered by her, Kuro Usagi took a step back
”Ayato-san?”
Raising her Usamimi, she looked at her back
That back of hers did not bore any reseo
Kuro Usagi evaluated Ayato as a girl as both courteous and docile, and carried a so spirit released by her, Kuro Usagi could only hold her breath without realizing
Her golden hair rustled as if responding to that fighting spirit, stood straight as if a sas running through it, and was filled robust strength
Even if a norure, they would feel a spirit similar to the fierce Gods
”Pathetic!!! In the fourteen years after descending to the outer worldFor my skills to drop to this this level alreadyNo, just growing dull would've been better!!! But to be unable protect the school I was supposed protect, and to fall behind that level of opponent!!!”
Frouard The situation was clearly strange
And then, the moment she picked up the two spears that were dropped on the floor of Ironworks in the industrial area, her nature changed to the core
Dual sielding wasn't all that uncommon, but there were feho used dual spears Since there were no ht it, that stance of hers was ht
Kuro Usagi had memories of the double spear stance that Ayato took
(So she really isthe Queen's Knight's!!!)
Three years ago───Kuro Usagi and others fought alongside a certain feht, and witnessed her death
She heard that after her death, she was sent to the outer world as the subordinate of the Golden Queen ”Queen Halloween” and had her memories wiped
Kudou Ayato───Her nauess to her true identity However, since her outer appearance didn't ht she was a different person But there's no place for doubt now
Ayato, bri spirit, looked exactly the sai's memories
And then, responding to her fighting spirit, the Minotaur woke up
No ence was, it wasn't so du the arrowheads stuck all over its body, it raised a fierce roar
『ＧＥＥＥＹＡＡＡＡａａａａ────!!!』
Turning its back to the unit of ”Six Scars”, the Minotaur broke into a run
Ayato prepared to meet the enemy
But at that moment───the thunderclouds that caused thunders to roar far above the skies, foriant whirlpool even visible to the eye, and started to release a rainy hich even scattered the leaves and branches of the great tree
Kuro Usagi got surprised froe typhoon outbreak and looked up at the sky
”Thisis bad! Porol-sae immediately!!!”
”Already on it! I also started setting up the breakwater in order to avoid the flood,”
”Doing that is pointless! Please convey to the group that's constructing the breakwater to get away from the riverside at once! If they don't act immediatelyThey won't make it!”
Porol was overwheli's pressure
Ayato and Minotaur who seelared at the thundercloud which started squir at Ayato, jumped away from her and disappeared into the outskirts
”Kh”The Bull of Heaven”It's co!!!”
In the sky far above, the roar of the bull monster reverberated
That roar, which was reverberating throughout the entire ”Underwood” rew the horns of lightning, and started to turn into a giant fighter bull
The iant bull moved, the Aquatic City was assaulted by twenty four strikes of lightning
Four of thei as if they decided to ai apart
Repelling the flying debris with spears, Ayato glared at the wriggling bull monster in the sky
”My fighting isn't suitable with ”The Bull of Heaven”Kuro Usagi-san! Is there any powerful person nearby!?”
”W-Well, everyone went to the other region where the Second Sun Authority War is being held in order to observe it”Draco Greif”, ”Great Sage Who Devastate Seas” as well as ”No Names” all have their main force sent on a business!!!”
Kuro Usagi shouted while pinning down the Usa shaken by the rainy wind
Ayato who realized that it would be bad at this rate, pointed at the great tree and suggested taking a refugee
”There's no choiceLet's escape inside the great tree! If it's under the protection of the Queen, then within it would be absolutely safe! I will leave the evacuation process to Porol-san and shi+rayuki-hime-sama,”
”No, Ayato-san please escape by yourself! Kuro Usagi will help with evacuation! Right now, you have to be beside Suzuka!”
Being struck by Kuro Usagi's words, Ayato widened her eyes Letting go of the spears, her expression reverted back to the one froetically
”Understood I will leave this place to you Be careful!”
Turning her back at Kuro Usagi, Ayato escaped towards the great tree of ”Underwood”
Even during that tith and continued to threaten the surroundings of the great tree with lighting strikes
However, the thunderstor that was a threat Rather, the true danger was the rising and rapid water current traveling along the ay of the Aquatic City
Within the roars of thunder, the screams raised from the aquatic city were in no way inferior to it
People were drowning in the flooded river
People were hit and burned by the lightning
People were crushed by the collapsed buildings
Kuro Usagi glared at the sky while biting on her lips, however the current Kuro Usagi wasn't able to fight with that bull e Master” couldn't challenge the Sun Authority War Moreover, orse was that all her co so that the Sun Authorities wouldn't fall in hands of the bad people
A the war potential who may still rush here, froation of Taurus Within Kuro Usagi's mind, a name of one comrade appeared
(Izayoi-sanIf only Izayoi-san was here!!!)
He of course knew nothing about ”Underwood” falling in danger
If he did, he wouldn't have allowed so so cruel If there was some way to convey him of these circu even if he orlds apart
Kuro Usagi searched for such ways, but there was nothing else she could do
Right now, she had no choice but to run away fro trampled down
