Volume 2 Chapter 36: Arrival of the Awaited One

The bullet-crushing competition by Saki and Berzelia continued even after approaching the city.

「Yes, I destroyed another one. Now I’ve shot down fifty of them!」

「Oh my, how few. I’m already past sixty.」

「…Ahaha, don’t get so full of yourself over a mere dozen of difference, Lysnoir, I still can continue.」

「…It’s not a number to get all triumphant about anyway. Yup, since it’s still going to grow.」

Both had no injuries. And there is no problem stamina-wise if all they going to do is crush them. Meanwhile—

Cliffs that touched the sea also turned in glaciers. And naturally—

「——!」

The black tortoise, that was pressing through the sea, was no exception and was enclosed in ice.

As its whole body was frozen, the magic formations that shot rock bullets also ceased to exist.

Seeing that—

「Th-They did it! They defeated the black tortoise……!!!」

「…Whoa… That scale… And power…」

「This is the hero’s magic…」

Then, many shouts of relief, joy, and admiration resounded.

They likely thought that the battle is over. But—
