The biggest general-ant in the middle is Ruth.
That's pretty obvious when you see it, but it's more than that: ......

　Belamus looked at the disastrous black-colored Ant Core in the back.

I see. So I was right.

　I muttered in a voice so quiet that the people around me couldn't hear me .

''Well, thanks to the Shiro Legion ants, Delarosa, and Medero, it took less magic to get here than I thought. I think I can fight to my heart's content in this one.

　The two defensive general ants on either side of Ruth approached, shields at the ready.

　Bellamus turned his arms towards those two bodies and

"Blaze.

　Then he unleashes his magic .
　A small ball of fire flew at high speed from Bellamus' hands toward the two general ants and hit them.
　And when he was hit, it exploded.

　The two general ants flew apart in an instant.

Two General Ants in a flash: ......
'Great, that's what I'm talking about, Vellumsda! Yeah! Atta boy! I'm coming with you, Medero!
Uh-huh.

　Delarosa and Medero attack the remaining defensive General Ant.

　As Bellamus goes to cover him, Ruth moves in.
　Her target is Bellamus.

　He throws a spear with his upper arm.

　I dodged it, but it was a powerful attack, both fast and powerful.
　It was a powerful attack, though.

So much for this.

　It was less than the strength Vellums had expected.

I'll deal with the big guy. Can you take care of someone else?

　I said to Medina.

'I'm a queen-ant, so I'm no stranger to a weaker general-ant, but you're okay, Master Vellums?
No problem.
"Right. All right. I'll leave Ruth to you. I'll leave the other one to the wagons, Mr. Windrush."

　Medina attacked with wind magic.
　As a queen-ant, Medina had high magic power.

　Ruth attacks Vellum.
　Vellumus uses a physical upgrade spell to enhance his physical abilities.
　The more magic this spell consumes, the more physical ability it gives you.

　Vellumus uses three times more magic than normal.
　With this much magic, he decides it is unlikely that his attack will be successful.

　He easily dodges Ruth's attack.

Shining Saber.

　and use the light sword's higher magic.
　Create a large light sword. He swings the sword and cuts off Ruth's lower left arm.

　The arm is slashed easily, and Ruth falls back.
　Then he uses his upper right arm to show his readiness to throw a spear.

　Before the spear can be thrown, Bellamus closes the distance and strikes Ruth as hard as he can in the abdomen.

　As Ruth is knocked off balance from the blow, Bellamus fires three shots of Blaze's magic.

　Small fireballs fly into the head, chest, and abdomen and explode.

　The explosion shredded Ruth to dust.

Just like that. Well?

　After I beat him, I tried to head to the other side to rescue him right away.

Fireball!

　Just in time to see Delarosa hit the General Ant in the head with a fireball, knocking it down with flying colors.

"Hey, I got him. You got him.
Yeah, now I'm gonna go to that big one: ......

　Delarosa looked at Ruth.

'Whoa!　He's already beaten me, Lulu!

　I'm surprised it was already defeated.

''I didn't expect you to defeat Ruth so quickly. ...... Lord Bellamus is very powerful.

　Medina is like that. It seems we've already taken down the General Ant.

Not so much. I'm not sure I have the magical capacity to do so now. You took on so many other legion ants, it was easy to kill them.

　Bellamus said this without any particular conceit.

'Your humility is ...... well, that's fine. Ragnar and his men are holding the Kuro Legion ants back now, but they won't last forever. We must destroy the Ant Core as soon as possible.

　When Medina said this, Delarosa and Medero got a sad look on their faces.

''Ano...... I beat up the ant core, La, Medina, you're going to die.
"Yeah, Medina is going to die.　Yadar.



　It hadn't been long since they met, but Delarosa and Medero had a good feeling about Medina's character, which was clean and innocent.
　So, even though they thought it couldn't be helped, they had to intervene.

It's inevitable. It's fate, too. Thank you all so much. I'll do the work of destroying the Ant Core.

　Saying that, he tried to use his magic towards the Ant Core.

Wait a minute.

　Bellamus stops .

Dear Mr. Bellamus: "If it doesn't get destroyed soon ......
I'll handle this one.

　With that, Bellamus used some magic.


　.


　---- I didn't expect this to happen.

　Hereldyne was frustrated at the predicament they were in, having just had a few intruders come in.

　He was not shaken by fear of death or impatience, because he was just frustrated.
　Because.

　---- Hmm, even if the Ant Core was destroyed, it would be enough to possess another creature.

　Hereldyne is a demon that cannot die.
　If she was destroyed here, there would be a huge delay in our ambition to destroy all of them, but she would not be crushed just because of the delay.

　So it was only irritating.

　---- Which creature will possess it next? I like that human brat. If he's as strong as that one ............?

　Hereldyne feels a sense of deja vu when he sees Vellums .

　---- that is ...... that soul shape is ......

　Hereldyne remembered something, and shortly thereafter

Sheil Hereldyne.

　Vellumus has used his magic.
　The moment the spell is cast, Hereldyne feels a powerful pull.

　Unable to fight it, she is pulled, and she is pulled out of the Ant Core.

　From within the Ant Core, Hereldyne emerges.
　It looked like a black haze. It had no limbs and no body. Two eyes shone in the middle of the haze.

Hereldain?　Master Bellamus, what have you done?
I had a little fight. I know how to seal him up.

　Bellamus said with a cool expression on his face.

'You!　You're that ...... person from that time!　He may look very different, but I know his soul!　I've sealed myself in, you're a Mercuress or something!

　Loudly, Hereldyne shouts.

"That's an old name. Now my name is Vellums. And I don't have to go to ...... to remember it. Next time we'll bury you a little deeper and you'll never get out again.
Uhhhh!

　Bellamus looks to land a right hand towards Heraldyne.
　Heraldyne is drawn to Bellamus' right hand.

　It's a powerful force. It's a desperate struggle, but there's no escape.

　Eventually, the Hereldyne will be compressed into a small ball.

　Bellamus covers his left hand.

　A white sphere forms.

The seal is now complete.
