The change in his expression was not missed by 《Dimension》.

I quickly turn around and try to talk to Lord. However, before I can speak to her, she is interrupted by her shout.

''Ah, ah, my hand slipped!

With that dumb cry, a wind full of vicious magical power rolled in.

First of all, the location was bad. The space was open and - just in the distance of Lord's eyes, there were a few monsters wandering around with no hostile intent. To those harmless monsters, she attacked them with the wind.

It was a messy wind that wasn't even magical, but the Lord's magical power would be enough of a weapon.

The monsters that were hit by that gust of wind were of various types.　White spirits (elements) and birds that were floating in the sky, white snakes that were crawling on the ground and moving armor (Living Armor). All of them changed the color of their eyes to black and stared at us - and in the next moment, they attacked us with their feet together.

Seeing that, Lord laughs.

''--Haha, I knew it!

I knew it, I knew it, you ......!

Oh, no, no, my hand slipped!　My hand slipped!

I'm stunned by that joke of an excuse. I've been complaining about it for a long time, and I knew it would happen at some point. However, I didn't expect him to resort to such childish measures so quickly.

Leaving me, who didn't say a second word, Nosfi first calmly formed a light spear.

''Uzumi-sama, if your hand slipped, it can't be helped. Now, prepare to intercept.''

d*mn it, I can't help--

After being chided, I spread out the Dimension to understand the situation.

First of all, I need information about the space. Next, I figure out the exact positions of our allies and enemies.

The first monster that reached us first was the Piercing Pigeon that I saw on the 62nd layer as well. Its size was similar to a normal bird, but its body was lighter. Its feathers are made up of glowing magical power, and it ripples like a stream of water that travels across a mirrored surface.

[Monster] Piercing Pigeon: Rank 60.

The piercing spear of Nosfi's light spear struck off the piercing pigeon that came flying in from above and sent it away.

The next attacker is a white snake that has crawled on the ground--

[Monster] White Snake: rank 60

This guy is also close to the general size I know. And just like the Piercing Pigeon, the surface of its body is glowing.

As for the white snake that crawled over, Ryner intercepts it with his twin swords. That sharp sword flash certainly slashed away the enemy's small body. However, it didn't go as far as ripping the White Snake's body apart.

Furthermore, new monsters were approaching from behind it.

Realizing that I would be surrounded by a wide variety of first-time monsters at this point, I unbearably construct a dimensional magic.

''-- Magic 《Default》!　Nosfi, Reiner!　I'll tweak the nasty looking ones away from you to keep them at a distance, so take them down as fast as you can in that order!

I used my magic power sparingly to distort the distance in space.

Instead of simply flying all the monsters farther away, I adjusted my position so that they reach here in order of their 'display' rank, in order of low rank.

The two of them, having figured out my idea of wanting each one to be destroyed, begin to focus on the nearest enemy.

I see. I understand, Uzurinami-sama. -- then, Ryner to observe the body of the enemy more. There's a constant flow of light magic, right?　A physical attack won't work for these kinds of moves.

So that's what this is all about. So that's what this is all about.

Excellent choice. Then I, too, am a Scythelight.

Nosfi intercepts her own enemy while giving Ryner sound advice. Unlike Ryner, she seems to have plenty of room to spare. The next time I distort the distance, I'll send more monsters towards Nosfy.

Then, around the time the two magic blades catch the monster, I see the other guardian (Guardian) trying to follow the fight between the two.

'Lord!　You don't move!

What?　Yeah?

For some reason, the person who had caused this situation was about to join the front line with a bayonet in high spirits.

'Of course not!　Rather, why did you think you could join us!

I mean, you're having a hard time?

It's your fault!

Ugh. ......

With my reprimand, Lord finally seemed to accept the seriousness of what he had done. He got a little teary-eyed and let the wind bayonet dissipate.

It was a bit pitiful, but it couldn't be helped. It may have been a game to Lord, but to us, it's a matter of life and death. In order to avoid worsening the situation, I'll keep an eye out to make sure Lord doesn't do anything unnecessary.

After stopping the Lord, I try to understand the situation with Dimension without drawing my sword. I figured that skipping instructions here would increase the overall strength of my party, rather than entering the fray.

The only decent attack spell I can use right now is Distance Mute, and the others are still being practiced. The rest I'm practicing.

I'm sure the two of them would be better off if they were assisting me rather than wasting their fuel consumption and poor hit rate on the front lines with Distance Mute.

The experience of the battle up to today and the 'wisdom' of his status determined that it was the best solution.

And according to that decision, I'm going to focus all of my abilities and nerves on 'grasping the battlefield' and 'commanding'--!

-- Organize the information that can be obtained from ”Dimension”.

Just now, Nosfi killed the first monster, the White Snake, just now. However, Ryner's side is having a hard time with the moving armor (Living Armor) monster, the Illugianus Knight.

The characteristics of the Illugianus Knight are easy to understand. He seems to be a swordsman who fights with a glowing sword, leaving physical attacks to his defenses, which completely repel physical attacks. He doesn't seem to use magic, but pushes with all his 'swordsmanship'.

The monster's rank is 59; since it is the lowest-ranked, I tried to put it on Ryner, but it doesn't seem to be able to handle it well. It's a good thing that you can't have a magical spell that exceeds the defensive power of your light magic, even if you can win the ”swordsmanship” game.

It's not because of Ryner's lack of strength. Probably, even if I were to deal with him, it would be the same result. It is abnormal for Nosfy to easily defeat the monster.

If this is the case, the second monster on the right, which Ryner is in charge of, will reach it. If it became two against one, the probability of Ryner getting seriously injured would increase. Unavoidably, I squeeze out a large amount of magic power from the bottom of my body and begin to construct a backup magic.

The magic I use is 《Default》.

However, the purpose of using it this time is not to 'move' but to 'support'. I'm going to build a ”default” that is specialized in assisting attacks here and now. I'm not going to be able to get rid of it.

I'm used to both creating new magic and being forced to do so in the middle of battle when there's no time to spare--!

”Nosfi, keep it on the left side!　Reiner, I'll take care of your evasion (・・・・), so just go ahead and throw it away!　-Dimensional magic... Dimension... Defortion!

I believe in Christ!

Ryner responded immediately.

In order to respond to his unquestioning trust, he chanted his magic with everything he had.

''--Dimension, Curved Warfare Operation (Reference)!

The name of the new magic is Dimension and Curvature Operations (Reference).

It is a magic that specializes in creating errors.

First, use Dimension Graduation to figure out the space and calculate the enemy's swordline. Then, he distorts the space where the sword will pass through with Defortion, causing the opponent's attacks and defenses to fail. It's like the dimensional winter (di winter) of the dimensional attribute.

The difficulty of its magic is not comparable to Dimension Decisive Operation (Graduation).

The sheer amount of information that had to be processed made me dizzy.

However, the magic is successful even though it's the first time it's done so because I'm concentrating on the Dimension Calculator at the back.

As I instructed, Ryner discards his defenses and begins building wind magic.

Without missing the opening, the Illusian Knight slashed his sword diagonally with a kesa slash - but it shifted (...). The glowing sword that should have caught the liner's body is just barely out of reach. It struck empty, as if it was an amateur slash.

This time, a large opening is created in the direction of the Illusian Knight. And Ryner has finished preparing to draw his magic sword at maximum output.

''-- Slash through it!　Magic 《Wind Flamberge》!

The twin swords clothed in maximum magical power are swung out with the highest speed, and the Illusian Knight's armor is cut off in a batshit form.

He does not relax his vigilance as he watches the monster turn into particles of light and disappear.

''Next!　Nosfi, watch out for the snakes back there!　Ryner, next time you attract the white spirit in front of you, retreat to near me in three seconds!

”Thanks for the advice, Mr. Uzumi.

I got it!　Christ!

I fly instructions to each of them and share the overall information with them all.

Then, in order to defeat the white spirit (Holy Element), which Ryner alone would not be able to defeat, I begin to construct another magic.

The image of this magic is the Screw Iris flower.

I can't recreate the magic Torsion released by the original Kanami, but I can at least imitate it.

The magic Writhe-Shobu (Torsion)!

At the end of three seconds, a sufficient amount of time to build magical power, a dimensional distortion occurred in the 'Crescent Pectrazi's Straight Sword'.

It was a distortion that didn't even look like a flower if one looked closely at it.

Naturally, the magic flower he had improvised was far from imperfect. Its magic power was thin and so weak that it would dissipate if you let it go from your hand.

Unlike the progenitor Kanami's, it was graded down to a magic with no physical attack power at all. However, if the opponent doesn't have a physical body, this should be enough.

''I've brought you here, Christ!

'Oh!　Now, I'm going to strike the magic!

With my eyes on the side of the Holy Element that is focused on the liner, I draw out a sword covered with the Form Writhe-Shobu (Torsion).

The sword slips through the body of the Holy Element. As I expected, as is the case with spirit (elemental) types, physical attacks are ineffective. However, he was able to attach the flower of the 《Form Writ Shobu (Torsion)》 to the enemy's body.

''Distort it!　--Form Twisted Shobu (Torsion)!

The same image as when he uses the Dimensional Snow comes to mind, and he unleashes a burst of magic. It's the image of releasing the dimensional gaps contained within the Form and damaging the body of an enemy made up of magic power.

That explosion has no physical impact. However, it would have a tremendous impact on the enemy's magical power.

In game terms, it's a magic that attacks MP instead of HP.

The magic power that makes up the Holy Element's body was displaced - distorted into a vortex. Although he couldn't kill it off, but there was no doubt that the enemy's shining body contracted.

''--[Zeerewind]!

Then, without a moment's hesitation, Ryner's final magic was released and the Holy Element couldn't keep its body and dissipated.

--Okay. That's the second one.

''We're almost there!　We're going to intercept them all at this point, Rainer, Nosfi!

Yes, Miss Uzumi.
