Guanghui raised the holy sword high.
"I'm finally getting a little used to it."
The light all over the Light Dragon's body became even more dazzling. Like Shizuku, Hikari needed time to become familiar with his new power.
If we only consider his combat aptitude, this hero is undoubtedly of the highest caliber. This aptitude allows him to optimize "Divine Power: Ever-Changing" in battle.
However, Shizuku wasn't kind enough to give him enough time.
She arranged the first group of black demon swords around her, taking an assault stance, and was about to charge forward when—
moment.
“──!?”
Shizuku quickly dodged forward as if she had been suddenly thrown out.
There was a rustling sound of air behind her. Shizuku smoothly rolled forward to cushion the blow, then quickly rolled over, kneeling on one knee and getting ready. At that moment, the tip of the black demon sword appeared before her.
Shizuku's hair stood on end, and she desperately threw her head back. At this moment, a glowing barrier intervened, blocking the knife for her.
Looking closely, the other black demon swords were also blocked by the barrier.
Although I didn't have to dodge and wasn't afraid of being hit, I still couldn't rest assured. It actually struck back at its master. It was just like a real demon sword, even this was unnecessary.
The black demon sword was vibrating, as if confused. The gray magic energy attached to the blade was quickly covered and offset by the orange light.
"Shizuku-chan, I'm sorry! I couldn't catch up!"
"No, you did. You were the one who helped me resist, right?"
Ling communicated with Shizuku through telepathy, allowing Shizuku to immediately understand the situation.
Since the Black Demon Sword itself is a living golem, it will naturally be affected by abnormal conditions.
Of course, the Black Demon Sword itself is equipped with means to counter the "Divine Word", but its own cognitive ability is similar to that of sight and hearing. It cannot use the method of sensing souls to perceive, because that would not be able to perceive the existence of apostles and other soulless beings.
Therefore, although the Black Demon Sword does not appear to have eyes or ears, magic that affects the five senses is still effective.
Being able to notice this, I can only say that Huili is indeed very discerning.
For Ling, this must have been an unexpected burden.
Furthermore, Eri's continuous use of dark magic also affected the demons, increasing the area Suzu had to protect. Suzu could only use recovery magic as a side job, but Eri's vocation was the highest level of dark magic, a "necromancer." The gap between the two began to widen.
While Huili possesses boundless mana, Ling must rely on artifact healing and potions. The time difference between them in replenishing their mana increases exponentially, widening the gap between them.
Therefore, instead of removing the abnormal state, Ling first used the barrier to protect Shizuku from the attack of the black demon sword, which would be faster.
Regardless, Guanghui had enough time to prepare for his next step.
"[Divine Power, Thousand Changes—Creation, Light Dragon Army]."
Many small dragons emerged from the huge light dragon.
Each dragon was about one meter long. Of course, they were all small dragons of light, all made of divine power.
There are about fifty of them.
"The biggest problem just now was the lack of flexibility."
Kouki said this, pointing the tip of the holy sword at Shizuku.
"Shizuku, that's enough. You won't be able to handle so many light dragons attacking at once. It might hurt you, but I'll take responsibility and take care of you. Just sleep peacefully."
After he finished speaking, a legion of small light dragons floated into the air at the same time, opened their mouths, and condensed the light of destruction at the same time.
The target area is the entire battlefield, not just Shizuku, but also Ryuutarou and Suzu.
"Shizuku-chan, Ryuutarou-kun! Switch!"
Upon hearing Ling's signal, Shizuku turned around immediately.
"Forget it. I don't want any man other than him to see me sleeping."
Shizuku dismissed Guanghui's nonsense with disdain and rushed out in one breath.
She recalled all the black demon swords and activated the skill "No Rhythm" that allowed her to freely control the speed, and the "Double Shrinking the Earth" used in the shrinking earth, moving in a high-speed zigzag pattern, while moving forward to avoid the attacks pouring down like a torrential rain.
Ryuutarou also took action. After defeating the seventh Gray Corpse, he smashed it into the other individuals and fled the battle zone as fast as a War Wolf could.
"Aha, is this good? Now the Gray Corpses can move freely."
No longer needing to protect Eri and Kouki, the Gray Corpses begin chasing Shizuku and Ryutaro.
The small light dragons exhaled a large amount of dragon breath, which affected and destroyed several Gray Corpses. However, the Gray Corpses did not care and attacked the two more fiercely, wanting to drag them down with them.
Of course, Eri's gray feathers and disintegration bombardment, the light dragon's breath, and the shining "Sky Flash" also shot out in succession.
Overwhelming saturation attack.
However, this also means that Ling no longer needs to deal with abnormal status and support demons.
"Let's fly—"Holy Sakura"."
Many glowing petals fluttered across the battlefield.
It looked like a dreamlike scene, but it was actually a vicious and powerful attack.
Small, glowing petals swept across the battlefield with a rustling sound.
The petals transformed into a spiral whirlwind that surrounded Shizuku and Ryuutarou.
The gathered petals block all attacks in a soft and tolerant manner, just like a person falling from a tree being caught by a pile of fallen leaves.
Not only that, the approaching Gray Corpse followers were overwhelmed by the large amount of petals like an avalanche, and in the end only horrific wreckage was left.
The bodies of the fallen Gray Corpses were covered in gaps, as if they had been chopped or gouged. Some even had their heads completely missing.
──Shu's original barrier technique, the Holy Zetsu: Sakura.
As the name suggests, it can transform a powerful barrier like "Holy Absolute" into fragments the size of cherry blossom petals. Not only can it be used for cutting, but when condensed, it can be transformed into a defensive wall that overcomes hardness with softness. It is a magic that can be used for both offense and defense.
Ling waved her twin iron fans smoothly, like a traditional Japanese dancer, and the snow of glowing petals transformed into a torrent, flowing freely with the dance.
The only drawback is that it takes quite a while to prepare such a large number of petals. However, once prepared successfully, combined with "Holy Absolute Transformation", it can be regenerated countless times as long as the magic power is not exhausted.
While Ling used cherry blossoms to protect her companions, she also took another approach.
"I'm going to ask you, is this okay?"
As Ling said this, Huili noticed a dark shadow floating in the corner of her vision.
She looked away in confusion, then her eyes widened.
"What is this...? A butterfly?"
"To counter Ling, you used your wings to create a barrier around yourself, so you didn't notice."
It was a black butterfly, and the black and red pattern on its wings looked a bit like a magic circle.
A terrifying number of black butterflies fluttered around Eri's head, and even now, their number was still increasing, spreading across the entire battlefield.
Needless to say, the source of the butterfly is of course the bell.
In response to her call, black butterflies continued to emerge from the gem embedded in the base of the iron fan, the core of the iron fan where the skeleton was concentrated.
As the iron fan swung gracefully, a riot of luminous petals and a swarm of black-striped butterflies filled the sky. The scene was filled with an eerie and mysterious beauty.
The bell dancing in the center looks like a shrine maiden who performs Kagura dance during festivals.
"I remember there was something like this—"
Hearing the sound of the bell, Huili suddenly came back to her senses, and an indescribable anger surged in her heart.
She didn't expect that she would be so lost in staring at Ling for a moment, and this fact made her angry.
In response to Huili's murderous gaze, Ling raised the corners of her mouth and showed a defiant smile.
"—From now on, it's always Ling's turn, right?"
"you……!"
It could have been Hajime or Kaori who said this. The conversation between the two, both well-versed in otaku culture, had left Suzu with this line. Her half-joking remark left Eri feeling fooled. Furious, Eri lost her composure, and she fell completely into Suzu's trap.
“Hmm… My body is unexpectedly…!”
“Glorious!? This is… paralyzing poison!? Is it inherent magic!?”
A closer look revealed the black-striped butterfly spreading its scale powder, using it as a medium to activate its inherent magic. By the time Huili realized this, it was too late; she and the Gray Corpse disciples had already been paralyzed, unable to move.
In an instant, Shizuku and Ryutaro emerged from the snowflake-like fluttering cherry blossoms.
The two of them approached their opponents at once, Shizuku coming in front of Eri, and Ryutaro appearing in front of Kouki.
Oops—I didn't even have time to shout.
Guanghui reflexively controlled the Light Dragon, using its tail to defend and claws to counter. While the War Wolf was fast, its defense and arm strength weren't great, so it should be able to handle it—that's Guanghui's assessment.
Ryuutarou noticed the claw attack from the Light Dragon, but did not seem to dodge it. Instead, he transformed himself into a monster with the strongest defense and arm strength.
"Come on, Steel Demon──"Demon Transformation: King Demon"! "
A deep green magical light burst forth, and the muscles of his body doubled in size. His skin turned a deep green, his height increased to over two meters, his eyes raised, and his canine teeth stretched out, protruding from his mouth.
Then, Ryutaro caught the light dragon claw attacking from above with his left hand and deflected it with the karate technique of "receiving".
The impact and the power of the destructive light caused his left arm to make an unsettling sound, and the left upper body suffered injuries similar to burns. However, in other words, the damage was just that.
"What!? Ryuutarou, you...!"
"Mmmmm! This really hurts! But I can handle it! It's my turn next!"
At this time, Ryutaro's right hand was ready to strike, his lower body was as steady as a rock, and his deep footsteps seemed to make the ground crack.
Facing the offensive defense formed by the light dragon's tail, Ryuutarou attacked correctly with the correct posture.
──The module of the transformation of the demon into the king ghost.
The Ougi is the king of all demons, and his endurance and strength are among the top five in the Abyss. Ryuutarou fully utilizes his arm strength and simultaneously uses his inherent magic, "Impact Operation."
A crash resounded like an explosion. The light dragon's tail exploded and scattered, but the impact didn't stop there, continuing in a straight line, sending the light, whose eyes widened in surprise, flying far away.
Guanghui didn't even have time to wail as he was ejected like a cannonball, crashing into the rubble of a building and then piercing through several more. At the same time—
“Kui…!”
"I'm sorry, Eri. I was just bait."
Eri, who was busy firing disintegration magic at Shizuku, suddenly heard—
"Inaba, please!"
“Tsk, tsk!”
It was a sound that made one feel intuitively unpleasant. Was it an animal cry?
What came into Huili's sight next was the plump, fluffy white fur with bright red lines, large, bright red eyes, and a pair of attractive big rabbit ears.
——From the Demon Army's strongest kicking rabbit, Inaba.
Although he was originally a monster that only roamed the first layer of the abyss, he developed his own sense of self and courage after drinking the dripping "holy water". He pursued the admired Hajime all the way while training himself, and finally reached the lowest layer of the abyss by his own strength. He can be said to be a brave warrior among monsters.
Its well-developed legs were equipped with footplates that strengthened its footing, its ears were equipped with earmuffs that enhanced its senses, and its body was covered in a vest woven from metal wire. Its entire body was covered in divine weapons, making it a fully armed force.
Therefore, Inaba's speed is now comparable to that of the sublimated Shizuku.
All Eri saw was the afterimage left by Inaba. She didn't even have time to tense up. When she came to her senses, Inaba had already kicked her hard in the face.
Like Guanghui, she had no time to wail. The powerful kick sent her body tumbling through the air, crashing heavily into a building in the opposite direction of Guanghui, piercing through it as well, and blasting her far away.
At this time, although the Gray Corpse disciples used decomposition magic to offset the paralysis effect, they seemed at a loss and stopped their actions one after another.
Without clear instructions, they didn't know whether to follow Eri or continue to subdue Shizuku and the others.
While they were hesitating, Shizuku and Ryuutarou went over to meet up with Ling.
"Shizuku-chan, Ryuutarou-kun, take this."
Ling pulled out some dry food from her treasure chest and tossed it to the two of them. It was shaped like a certain nutritional block, but the color was frighteningly bright.
"Oh, thanks. I'm shaking all over and I won't be able to bear it if I don't eat this."
"You'll cause misunderstanding if you say that."
Ignoring Ling's complaints, Ryutaro picked up the dry food with his thick fingers and threw it into his mouth.
Suddenly, the body stopped shaking, and the voice that originally sounded a little uncomfortable also returned to normal.
