As purple smoke enveloped surroundings following a large explosion, Moka shouted while looking forward.

「Be careful, Sidonius-san!」

「I know! Prepare for battle! ーThose, that can’t fight, fall back to the rear!」

Obeying his voice, knights that weren’t blown away by that explosion readied their weapons.

Hearing those sounds Sidonius shouted to me.

「Are you fine? Moka-dono?」

「Yes, somehow. Enough to fight……」

Though both of us guarded with magic and skills against that sudden attack, we still suffered some burns from that blast.

However, it’s not bad enough to incapacitate us.

Being careful we can still fight.

In such a state Moka kept looking forward.

Looking at a single silhouette flickering among those purple fumes.

「……【Transformation Cancel]」

With those words spoken by that figure the smoke dissipated.

What stood there wasn’t Bane in his white robeー

「Ah, it’s been a while since I last showed this appearance. I missed this feeling.」

Standing there is a humanoid with a tiger’s head and limbs.

He looked close to a tiger beastman.

However, he was giant, almost three meters in height.

In addition, the white robe that he was wearing was no more, turning into an extravagant black light armor. Another noteworthy part was a scorpion-like tail visible from behind his back.

A clearly inhuman tail. Waving that tail Bane stretched, looking drowsy.

「Setting off the trigger is all good, but there is a bit too much to do. Well, I’ll just do it one-by-one.」

Next to his head while he muttered soー

「――」

A penetration beetle appeared with a buzz, then stopped.

Looking at it Bane spoke.

「Ah, you guys should act according to plan and play with the guild on the treetop. ……Well, number-wise you might not be able to win by yourselves, but it will be all over when I come. Buy time until that moment.」
