(Lina's perspective)

　In front of us, in front of the main gate of Ishikawa University, the enemy - about 10,000.

　In contrast, the strength of our forces - the elite that preceded us - is eight hundred.

　800 against 10,000.

　Normally, with such a difference in strength, a person challenging them would be a suicidal maniac, or if they were under an irresistible order from above - a death sentence.

　However, if I wasn't a suicidal person, I don't think Zion would have sentenced me to death.

　

　It's true that in the world after the 【Great Transformation】 - a dreamlike situation of a hundred man power and a single horseman is not impossible - but an overwhelming difference in power is a prerequisite.

　When they were waiting in the control area, Theon had sent out over 3,000 ghouls as reinforcements... but no ghouls had returned. In other words, the force in front of us was capable of defeating more than 5,000 ghouls, including the first ghoul that was sent in.

　No.........don't think too much. No matter how much thought I put into my own mind, I am still no match for Theon's wisdom.

　It's Theon's role to stratagem. My role is only to follow Theon's orders and wield the sword.

　I shake off any unnecessary evil thoughts and concentrate on the enemy in front of me.

　--The enemy is expected to attack at long range, so form up with 100 living mails at the head of the line!　The Military should form up behind the Living Mail of the Orihalcon series!

　Following Zion's orders, which echoed in our brains one after another, we started to proceed to the main gate of Ishikawa University.

''Tch!　I don't know if you're going to be able to go on with this ding-dong and time is fine!
'Hey!　Can't me and Takani get ahead of you?

　Takahar and Setanta reveal their frustration at the speed of progress like a bull's-foot to the living mail.

''Out of the question.''
Don't be in a hurry, Seta. The enemy will not flee.

　When I scolded Setanta for being out of control, my grandfather gently admonished him.

　He turns his loving eyes to Setanta - I recall the conversation I had with my grandfather, who was once feared as the 'Sword Sage', before we left.

''Your grandfather doesn't have any resistance... to fighting humanity?
What's going on?　From the bushes to the sticks.
''Theon ... is of that nature, but he can be considered. If your grandfather wishes, he can be removed from this fight--
So you want me to stay home and let my grandson fight.
No, no that's not what I'm saying...
Don't worry about it. I am more than pleased with my life here in Astor. It would be nice if humans - people like us - didn't fight each other, but we live in a world like this. You cannot have that kind of control.
But, but...
And it is my intention to protect. The people of Astor's kingdom and the people with whom I will fight and your precious granddaughter.
-What?
Therefore, I will fight. Mankind may call me a demon or a shura, but I will put down every enemy of Astor's kingdom.

　Your grandfather was already prepared for this.

　Well, I'll be ready, too. I'm going to protect my friends and family.

　--!

　The dry sound of metal clashing with metal could be heard in the surroundings.

　The sound was actually the sound of a single flying arrow colliding with a living mail shield.

''Listen!　Foolish demons belonging to the enemy, Theon!　We will not yield!　Walk away if you don't want to be like your poor fellow countrymen who died before you!'

　--?

　Recommendation?　Mankind?　Theon's men, the Demon King, and us?

　If we have the power to defeat it, we will defeat it. That is what humanity (Rowe) sees in us (Chaos).

　But humanity (Lowe) told us (Chaos) that we (Chaos) are the enemy.

　What it means is--.

Opportunity!　All troops, speed up the march!　We'll subdue them all at once!

　The Living Mail begins to move forward at full speed with his shield at the ready.

'Flora!　Together with my men, Lirim, put up a magical barrier upward!
Yes~. It's been a long time since I've heard from Lina-chan~

　Flora, who obediently responded to the order, deployed a magical barrier with the Lilim under her command.

''Don't worry about getting hit by a few bullets!　Go!　Go!　Go!　Go!

　I sprint through the magical arrows that rain down on me, inspiring my friends.

　The distance between us and the enemies standing in front of the main gate of Ishikawa University remains 100 meters.

''Sarah!　Range attack!
Ri!　--Thunderstorm!

　A storm released from Sarah's staff, wrapped in purple electricity, struck humanity.

'Seta!　Takhar!　Make your way!
'Yes!　--Windchase!
Seta!　f*ck you!　That move is slick!

　Setanta, clad in the wind, ran toward the enemy. Takahar, who has transformed into the King of 100 Beasts, also runs after him.

　So far, no orders have come from Theon. That would mean that my command is correct.

'Seta!　Takhar!　Scatter to the left and right!

　The two people who responded to the grandfather's shout shifted to the left and right.

''--[Empty Blade]!

　The invisible blade released from the sword wielded by the grandfather sliced through the enemy in front of the main gate.

''Ah!　I'm supposed to be the first spear!
f*ck you!　That's my job!
What?　Didn't you see the brilliant magic of Aashi?
'Ha!　Magic is no can do!
'Imph!　That's impossible!

　Setanta, Takahar, and Sarah have a conversation that lacks the tension of being in the middle of a battle.

　Should I be angry as a leader?　Should I be proud to be reliable........ I chuckle at the usual exchange between the three of them.

''Enemies!　We're under attack--
Isn't it late?　--One flash thrust!

　Setanta's divine speed thrusts could easily take away the life of a single human being.

''Tch!　Oh no, I'll follow you......... Woo-hoo!
""--?
''Duh, who the hell said that Demon King Zion's army was small fry...''
Help me, help me...
And don't get distracted.

　Hearing Takahar's roar that shook the atmosphere, humanity fell into a state of panic.

''Here you go!　Right from the start, it's a climax!　Every living being be drunk with my flesh!　-- "Perfect Body!

　Hibiki, who jumped out to the front line late to Setanta and Takaharu, sparingly exposed her naked body to the enemy along with the brilliant light, and decided to pose.

'Ugh, bunny ears ... bald ... thong ... man ... who are you? ........who are you.......
Why ... why ... why ... why ... why are you a man?
I-I-I want some help!
Don't get distracted.　A phantom!　The enemy's phantom attack?
Kill them!　We're going to make that nightmare go away!

　Humanity, hit by Hibiki's "Perfect Body", is enveloped in a different kind of fear than Takahar's roar.

''Li--''

　--Lina, I forbid you to say your name!

　I try to charge at the enemy with my name, but my mouth is shut by an order from Theon.

　Am I not allowed to give my name?

　Forbidden to give my name, I slash at the enemy in silence.
