-At the end of my gaze, Anri finally stood up. She moves slowly but without hesitation, different from her earlier suffering appearance.
Then, Anri raises her face, which is illuminated white, with a dazzling light emanating from her right hand. –Her gaze, which seemed somewhat holy, caught us as we clashed with swords and claws.
Is Anri moving of his own volition, or is she still under the control of Andras? I call out to Anri, hoping that she is back to her normal self.
“—Anri! Are you conscious?! If you’re back, get out of here now!!”
“I-I’ve received my authority from the Demon God Solomon-sama! How can that little girl be defeated….!”
Anri opened her mouth to call out under her breath.
“–I won’t stand in Tale’s way anymore.”
“—N-Nonsense!?”
“—! Anri, you’re back to normal! Then–“
“I’ll help you right away, wait for me Tale!”
What, I didn’t even have time to say the words.
–A divine silvery white light emanated from a birthmark on her right hand that looked like a crest. The silver light quickly covered Anri’s entire body, and within the blink of an eye, she leaped out with the force of an explosion, thrusting her fist at the astonished Andras in front of my eyes.
“Ggagh–“
Anri’s fist plunged deeply into Andras’s unprotected abdomen. And just as I could see Andras’s distorted face in pain, his body was blown backward with a tremendous force.
As soon as the blood spilled from Andras’ mouth fell to the ground, the demon who had tormented us so much crashed into the ward with a loud noise. Andras, who had been crucified for a moment, fell to the ground with a thud.
I looked at Anri in surprise.
“—Now………..No, it’s more than that–Anri, are you alright!? Is there anything wrong with you?”
I looked at Anri to make sure.
Her body is enveloped in a silver light that is different from my phosphorus, and she is standing on the ground without any wobbling. Just by looking at her, I could tell that her entire body was filled with power, and I knew that was the reason for the unusual physical abilities she had just shown me.
Anri looked back at me with a powerful gaze and gave a small nod.
“Tale. Sorry for bothering you all this time. That’s true in battle, and in other things too…because my heart was weak. But you don’t have to worry anymore.”
“Anri?”
I feel a little confused by Anri, who seems to have a strong determination and no hesitation, which is completely different from what she has been doing lately. Anri apologizes once again to me and looks away.
“—-I’ll talk more about it later. Tale, let’s take care of him now!”
“——!”
I hear a loud sound like an explosion, and I turn toward Andras, who has just flown away. There is a cloud of dust and smoke rising from the ground, and I can’t see Andras. However, it is clear from the power that I feel that he is there, and in addition, I can feel the magic and the power that I feel.
“…… the magic and intimidation I feel has gone up.”
As soon as he muttered that, a tremendous wind blew and the dust and smoke cleared instantly. Andras was standing there, and his wings and arms, which he should have lost, were restored. It was as if the damage inflicted by the hard work had completely and beautifully healed.
–Andras caught me and Anri in his line of vision and shouted, releasing a gust of wind mixed with powerful magic power.
“–The power increases. This is – the power of Lord Solomon! Oh, my precious demon god, you want me to destroy the apostle of the abominable goddess!”
Andras suddenly became excited, but I did not understand what he was saying. However, as he said, it is clear that somehow his power has increased from the previous time, and the existence of even just powerful demons has become more troublesome.
I turned my attention to Anri, who had also undergone a mysterious evolution, and asked her with my eyes if she knew anything about it.
“–I was just told by the Goddess .As the Goddess’s apostle, I awakened the Warrior’s Holy Crest, so the Demon God must have supplied power to his vassal Andras in response. If they were going to do it, they should have done it earlier when Andras was in a pinch…..Ah, the demon god really hates the goddess, so it seems like he sensed her presence and forced himself to do it.”
“…The goddess’s apostle that Andras was talking about earlier was Anri, right? So, the demon god side also allocated even more resources.”
It’s a sudden story, but for now, I’ll just swallow what’s necessary. I have to ask her more about Anri being an apostle of the goddess and about the Sacred Crest, but I’ll put it off for now.
In front of us was Andras, the Six Divine Generals, the dependents of the demi-god Solomon, whose terrifying power has not weakened, but rather increased. The battle between humans and demons is still raging outside of this ward, and we cannot add the threat of Andras to it. I had to get rid of Andras as soon as possible and save everyone.
I said to Anri, who was hurriedly lifting the great axe from the ground.
“–Anri, we’re going to defeat the demons together. I’ll leave my back to you.”
“Yeah. –I won’t let them hurt Ta;e anymore. I’ll help Tale.”
I hold up my sword and Anri holds up her axe, looking at Andras, who is smiling broadly. –And then…
“Tale!”
–Andras appeared in front of us as if by instantaneous movement, and Anri and I swung our weapons as if to intercept him.
“Kuku! That’s a good reaction!”
“You—!”
Andras easily dodges our counterattack, and Anri spins around and strikes him with her axe. In addition to the silver light, which is probably the blessing of the goddess, the axe is also clothed in an electric current. The axe struck the ground and scattered a large amount of clods of earth around the area.
“It’s tremendously powerful. But if it doesn’t hit me, it doesn’t matter. Next, this…”
“Nah”
Andras, who had somehow dodged the axe, suddenly appeared at Anri’s side again. And with his long, sharp claws, he tries to cleave Anri’s thin neck. But I am not going to let that happen.
“Shiratsugen!”
With the water magic I invoked on the spur of the moment, I extended a thin, thread-like white water from my fingertip, cutting the claw that was trying to cut off Anri’s nape of the neck in the opposite direction. I then moves my finger to aim at Andras’ neck, but the figure suddenly disappears.
I ran up to Anri, furrowing my brow at the frequent and inexplicable moves. After confirming that no injuries had occurred, I let out a short breath.
Then I glanced at Andras, who was standing some distance away before I knew it.
“—Anri. Are you following Andras’s movements with your eyes?”
“I can see the moment when he attacks – after he appears – but I can’t see him approaching or moving away from us. It’s as if the process of movement itself doesn’t exist.”
“I guess Anri is like that too. I thought he was moving at an invisible speed, but then again, I can’t see any footprints on the ground, so there seems to be some kind of trick.”
“It’s a trick… then, let’s check it out for now.”
When Anri said that, she raised her axe on the upper deck towards Andras, who was looking at her with a relaxed attitude.
As I was looking at what she was going to do, the holy crest on Anri’s right hand became even brighter, and the light all over her body became even stronger. A powerful electric current crackles through the axe’s blade, turning into silver lightning that occasionally flows into the air.
Anri gripped the handle of the axe tightly with both hands and muttered quietly.
“–silver tsunami.”
At that moment, the axe, clad in silvery white lightning, struck the ground – rolling up the ground like a tsunami, releasing a wall of earth and sand clad in electric current toward Andras.
