“Wha….!”
Andras peels his eyes when he sees the broad attack coming. And I was as surprised as he was.
The attack, which may have been strengthened by the holy crest, but was created almost exclusively with physical force, was comparable to my and Rietta’s wide-area attack magic. Anri’s physical strength has always been out of this world, but it may have had something to do with the power of the goddess.
Anri looked up from her axe-swinging stance, smirked and looked at Andras.
“Now, how do you think you’ll handle a surface attack?”
“Petty …… but this stuff!”
Andras was abhorrent, but his composure was still there. He sniffed and stood tall without flinching at the tsunami of earth and sand that was approaching. And then–
“Hahaha, it’s a shame! Even with your best attack, you can’t even dodge—what?!”
“If there’s no scratch, then the true nature of the evasion you’ve been showing me is teleportation. That’s also an authority given to you by the demon god. However, I wonder how many times it can be activated in a row.”
Andras appeared in the exact opposite direction of where the rock tsunami was headed, but Anri immediately knew and already had her axe at the ready. Then the second attack.
“[White silver tsunami], one more time!”
Anri swung her axe with a great swing of her arm, emanating a strong blessing light. Then, as if to rehash the previous attack, a torrent of lightning-clad earth and sand is released, heading toward Andras, who is sweating coldly.
Soon the tidal wave of rocks drowned Andras out of our sight, and he disappeared into the ground with a tremendous roar. But still–
“It’s no use! No matter how many times you do the same thing, you will not break the power I have newly received from Lord Solomon!”
Andras, who had appeared on the other side, raised his voice again. His body was as unscathed as before.
Anri clicked her tongue with a tsk.
However, I looked closely at Andras with my eyes. It is true that there are no wounds on his body, and Anri’s big move, which seems to stop after two shots, seems to be ineffective. But is that really the case?
Andras is glaring at us and putting all his strength into his body as if he is about to launch an attack at any moment. However, he is moving his shoulders up and down more than before he launched a series of instantaneous movements, and even though Anri is fatigued from the reaction to her great move, she does not act immediately.
Besides, His face seems a little pale if I look closely, although it is hard to tell because of the original color of his skin.
After noticing this, without a moment’s pause.
――I amass a large amount of magical power at high speed and construct a bright red magic circle. Accuracy is beyond measure, and it is a wide-range magic created with an emphasis on speed and power, while scattering flashy red light from surplus magical power.
“–[Vortex Flame]!”
What is released from the magic circle is a rope of flame, one strand as long as an adult’s waist. It gathers and swirls into a dense net like a spider’s web. Then, like a cast net, it widened its range and surged toward Andras.
“This scale of immediate activation? Isn’t Tale getting too strong?”
“Even Anri. The one you just show isn’t technically magic, so you really don’t even need to chant the name of the magic. It’s much faster than this.”
“Fufu, well”
In the midst of this harsh battlefield, we converse amicably, just as we used to do in the past. However, neither of us turns our gaze away from Andras, whose face is clearly scrunched up behind the flaming net. We are ready to run toward him immediately, depending on the result of this magic.
And Andras, on the other hand–
“Ugh……! This much, with only a strengthened body and a magic barrier,……!”
After all, was this the limit of continuous use of instantaneous movement? This time, without disappearing and dodging the magic, but also without time to counter with offensive magic, he held his hands in front of his eyes and deployed a dimly colored magic barrier.
Immediately after, flames rushed toward Andras.
“Guoooooohh!!!!”
The flames entangled the barrier, one by one, steadily damaging it with their heat. Gradually, the barrier cracked, and Andras’ body, which had been hunched over with his hands outstretched, slid backward.
Anri and I were already kicking the ground as we looked at Andras who was desperately trying to block the magic. We ran side by side, tearing through the wind, and with our weapons at the ready to attack, we finally saw the magic break through the barrier.
“Ggaaaaaaah, H-heat ……!”
Even though it was weakened somewhat by the barrier, it was still magic that I had unleashed with an enormous amount of magical power. The power is enough to inflict pain and suffering on the mighty demon.
And we were not about to let this opportunity pass us by.
Cutting through the flame-charred air, my sword, clad in flames, and Anri’s axe, clad in lightning, close in on Andras.
“-Gi, aaaaaaaaaaah!”
The arm severed again by Anri’s axe flew through the air, and a large amount of blood danced in the air from the wound where my sword had cut deep into his torso. At the same time as the severed arm fell to the ground, Andras’s body lost all strength and he fell to one knee on the ground. It was clear that the wound was deep enough to decide the match.
We readied our weapons again, hoping to reap the life from him, but Andras managed to stand up and swung his claws around in a half-crazed frenzy, spreading his vicious magic around the area. I involuntarily backed away from him.
“It’s a bad struggle. The battle is already over. It’s pointless.”
Anri’s right. Even if he survived for a while, he would not be able to survive much longer with that wound. The next step is to minimize the damage while steadily accumulating damage, and eventually Andras will run out of power and the battle will be over.
Andras himself must have known this. He held the wound with his remaining hand and shook himself tremulously.
“I, who was looked upon by …… Solomon-sama, will end up …… in a place like this…?”
“How many people have lost their lives in this battle…Andras, I will take your life and end this futile battle.”
“Don’t beg for your life. Ta;e and I will definitely kill you.”
We increase our magical power and divine protection, but Andras looks dumbfounded and doesn’t even glance at us. I’m reluctant to kill a defenseless opponent, but as I said earlier, Andras took many lives. For the sake of those who died, and above all to prevent further damage…
That’s when our resolve was strengthened.
Andras, who was looking at us with a downcast look on his face, said something like this.
“If it’s just end without accomplishing anything. —Everything goes with me.”
