The battlefield was filled with angry roars and screams.
Lamnites was defeated.
The war front had collapsed without taking even a single day, many of the soldiers were lost……And then, not even she herself could be saved.
「Kuh……If I am going to receive the raping of a Demonic Being……I might as well……」
Lamnites loaded a bullet into the Magi Gun.
She yelled out instructions to the soldiers that looked up to her.
「Even if I sink in defeat! Even if this life of mine comes to an end! I shall never show my back! For I am the king of the country of sand!」
The soldiers raised their fists overhead.
She made a command.
「The target is the enemy commanding officer! Turn towards the large sized Demonic Beast, and charge!」
The captain steered the ship.
「《Golkarios》, full speed ahead! Gunners concentrate on the front! Open a way out!」
The soldiers that carried Magi Guns gathered at the sand ship’s bow, and fired away at the approaching Demonic Beings and Demonic Beasts.
It wasn’t like all of the Demonic Beings and Demonic Beasts were sturdy like Vanaknes. He was just too strong.
If the bullets of the Magi Guns hit, damage would normally be given.
Lamnites glared at the enemy headquarters.
「……So the problem is Vanaknes’ followers. With this trend, there is no mistake that the other women also possess abilities far from the norm.」
「That’s exactly right～♪」
From really close by, an out-of-place cheerful voice of a woman was made, and Lamnites opened her eyes wide from it.
Immediately following that, a sharp pain ran through her side.
「Gahah!?」
When she realized it──
Lamnites fell flat onto the deck.
Her side was hot as if she were being burned. A large amount of blood was flowing out.
And then, she saw a black something come out create a human figure from her own shadow.
──She appeared from within my shadow!?
It was the woman that possessed crow wings.
The woman swung her black curly hair, and looked down on the collapsed Lamnites.
「I’m gone, I’m gone, baa～♪」
「Y, you are……!?」
「Nfufu～, although I came because I was told to “stop this ship” by Vanaknes～? I really hate women with bigger tits than me, you know～? That’s why, I don’t want to let you into the harem. Would you die? Could you just die?」
The guard soldiers that were monitoring the surroundings ended up noticing at this late point in time. While raising shouts, they swung their swords.
However, the Demonic Being woman caught their swords with only one hand. She had talons that looked like the ones on a crow’s feet attached to her hands.
It didn’t end with her just coming out from her shadow. She was a suitably strong Demonic Being.
Lamnites squeezed out her voice.
「R, run away……」
Before those words could reach them──
*Pan!* *Pan!* Strangely light sounds happened in succession. It was the sound of the Demonic Being woman’s talons crushing the heads of the soldiers along with their helmets.
The soldiers that were her guard were turned into corpses in an instant. They fell into a pool of blood.
A sense of despair overwhelmed Lamnites’ heart.
──What in the world, is this?
A commanding officer that won’t die even if his heart is shot through. A Healer that can heal a severe wound in an instant. A Magician strong enough to crush a fleet. An Assassin that appears from people’s shadows……
It was a nightmare.
──You mean to say that the people of the Races won against these guys in the previous Great War?
Impossible.
They weren’t even able to put up a fight.
Lamnites muttered.
「……Would you even, call this……a war?」
「Let’s see～, I would call something like this a war. To Demonic Beings, this would be──a massacre show of the Races.」
The Demonic Being woman sneered.
She held her talons that were wet with deep red aloft.
「Bye by～e♪ You people of the Races, you’re so weak that it was boring.」
「……Someone.」
「Nn?」
Lamnites leaked out a voice while still crouched down on the deck of the ship.
「Someone……Please save them……the soldiers……the soldiers…………」
「You’re so stupid～. If you don’t want to die, then it would have been better if you weren’t born in the first place♪」
Their field of vision was wrapped up in a flash of light.
In the battlefield that boiled in madness, countless thunderbolts rained down.
With the roaring sound of thunder, the air shook.
The complexion of the Demonic Being woman changed, and she surveyed the surroundings.
「What’s going on!?」
「……That, just now was?」
The weather should have been clear.
It was a phenomenon that Lamnites did not know about.
A soldier from somewhere raised his voice.
「The enemy’s attacking forces, they’ve been reduced by half! Th, they’re disordered! Lightning, fell!?」
A surprise different from the ones they received from the large scale magic and the Demon King Army’s charge had spread out among the soldiers.
『──Please return. The situation has changed.』
Vanaknes’ voice was heard.
His voice streamed out from the earring that was attached to the Demonic Being woman’s ear.
『Can you hear me?』
「Return!? Why!? Let me kill more!」
『That is not permitted. It would be dangerous for you to be isolated in the enemy lines after all. I do not want to lose you.』
「Me, isolated!? What do you mean by that!?」
She surveyed the surroundings.
Lamnites also raised her body.
And then, she discovered someone floating in the sky.
──Who, is that?
A man clad in pitch black armor, prepared his staff.
「《Lightning Meteor》!!」
When the man swung down his staff, countless thunderbolts came raining down.
It was Chemical Elemental Magic.
The atmosphere trembled, and the Demonic Beings and Demonic Beasts were burned away. That was clearly magic that surpassed the limits of what the people of the Races could handle.
