'Huh ... huh ... huh ... huh ...'


　I was running hard through the city. Currently, instead of using a knife, I was activating the Invisible Sword 《Invisible Blade》 with my 10 fingers and both feet, and using it dexterously to exterminate the demons. The only thing that existed was the giant spider 《Huge Spider》, but there were too many of them. I'm using the maximum amount of firepower I have to reduce their numbers, but the demons continue to increase one after another. When I look at the outer wall of the city, more and more reinforcements are coming from there.


　d*mn.........there's no end to it. This is the mother body that needs to be struck. That's right, demons basically have a mother body that acts as a group and is a leader. But looking at this, the mother body is outside the city. Probably, they are definitely keeping their distance. This is because there is no sign of a large monster in the vicinity, even if you check it out with your twilight sight.


　And I was heading to the royal castle in order to understand the current situation.



''........Wait.......''


　Suddenly, I think aloud. All the special class anti-magicians should be here. But there was no sign of them. The only people fighting are me and my military counter-magician. But many of the mages were already dead. The corpses of many people were piled up on the side of the road. And they were surrounded by burning flames.

　Besides, the demon this time is a special individual, or perhaps it is acting without a care in the flames. Is it a subspecies of existence...?　

　While thinking this, I reach the royal castle while tearing through the demons in front of me. The anti-magicians there have managed to hold the front line, and they look relieved when they see me.


''The situation is...!
"...go inside. I was told to let you through when you came in.
I get it!


　I walked in, not really knowing what to expect. And there were a lot of people inside. And I look for a special class antimagician somewhere. That's how I found it........it was Eira-senpai.


''Yuria!
Eira-senpai, what's the situation?


　The seniors were tending to the wounded. Many of the people in here were injured and filled with the smell of blood. Various voices were present there: sad voices, confused voices, angry voices.

　But why was senior Eira alone?


Okay that should be okay. Julia, things are bad. Just follow me for now.
Yes, sir.


　And where I followed her was in front of the conference room. What can be found here?


Silas, I've brought Yulia to you.
"...you're alive. That's good news. Now, let's get straight to the point. You and Eira are the only two special-grade anti-magicians who can move now.
...Oh no!

　I raise my voice. That's just as well. How are the other special class anti-magicians doing?　And why are we talking through the door?


'Whoa, whoa, whoa!　Why can't I open it?
Roy, you need to calm down. You're just sapping my strength.

　Then I heard Roy-san and Claudia-san's voices from inside.

　Don't tell me.......is that what it is.......?


I'm sorry, but we're not going to be leaving this room for a while. We're all trapped in here. It's probably an ancient ward. It's going to take some time to disarm them...
''........A ward? It's also so large that a special level anti-magician can't disarm it immediately...
'You and Eira left soon after that meeting, but soon afterwards the wards were abruptly laid. We all tried to break through, but destruction is currently impossible. That means you two are the only ones who can break through the situation. It seems that the top brass in the military are still not ready to deal with this mess either, so you are the only ones who can move as the biggest force right now.
No....no, no, no, no...


　Mixed thoughts. I thought Dan's case was strange as well, but this case is even more foreign to me. The existence of a ward to contain the special class antimagician is one thing, but most of all, the fact that they intended to lock everyone in is surprising. This matter is still strange, after all. It's too different........

　I can't help but feel that someone has an agenda.


I'm sorry, but I can't do anything about it. I'm sorry, but I'll leave the rest to you........


　Silas says that in a sad voice. He is probably full of the desire to go out and do something about it. And yet, we are in a situation where we can't do anything, and that's a situation that can only be left to the two people who have relatively recently become special-grade anti-magicians.


　But we have no choice. Me and Eira-senpai have to lead the way and break this situation. I am anxious, I am afraid. The fate of humanity itself hangs in the balance. Of course I'm afraid. I am strong. But it's not a panacea. I have not acquired such overwhelming strength that I can surpass everything.


　Still, I had a certain feeling. When I saw that city that had been turned into hell, I couldn't stop moving. As a special class anti-magician and the hope of humanity, I need to move. You can't be lost, as was the case with Dan. I've decided........to move forward.

　When I thought of that, my voice came out naturally.


''I understand........I'll do my best. I won't let you do any more.
"...I'm going to go with Julia, Silas. If you can get out, join me as soon as you can.
Okay, all right. We'll do our best.


　Then Eira-senpai and I went downstairs to discuss the current situation.


'For now, we have to do something about the current situation.
'As for that, first we need to defeat the mother body outside after I and my senior staff have scraped as much as possible. The wards on the outer walls aren't functioning, so there's no limit to the amount of demons coming in. The individual's name is the giant spider 《Huge Spider》. That's the only thing I've confirmed. There are just too many of them. To be honest, my combat skills are specialized in single combat. However, when it comes to a group battle like this one, I can't help but lack the manpower.
''Well that's what you call being unlucky. I, on the contrary, specialize in mass warfare.
Is that so?
Do you know my second name?
No, no, I don't.
I'm called the 'Freezing Witch'.


　Then Eira-senpai and I went out to the burning city.


　◇


'Hah!!!!!


　I continued to slice through the demons with the Invisible Sword 《Invisible Blade》. On the other hand, my senior was overwhelming. She is not known as the Ice Witch. The ice attribute magic she unleashed froze everything. With a simple wave of her right and left hands, ice runs vertically in front of her in one fell swoop, stopping the demons' life activities.

　Currently, we're asking the other anti-magician people to save lives and fight off the demons we leaked. We, on the other hand, prioritize the eradication of the demons.

　However, the fact that my seniors and I are still maintaining the status quo speaks volumes. The demons that are pouring in are gaining more momentum. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it happen.

　We still need to beat the mother body outside. I was perceiving it with my twilight sight. The flow of magical elements that continues on the outside. I'm sure that if I followed this, I could reach the mother body... d*mn it!　More reinforcements, more reinforcements... As I think about it, I see two people I know in my vision.


　It's a very good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for.


''........Senior!
I know!


　I was already running out. And as Senpai's ice realm spreads, I freeze the demon's feet at once. This time, since the girls are nearby, senpai is only freezing the demon's feet.

　In the blink of an eye, he cuts through the bodies of all the demons that were there.


''........Shelly, Sophia. Are you okay?
'Julia you're alive........'
Sigh ... thank God ... I was seriously prepared to die for a minute ...


　I looked behind them and saw the children there, shaking.


　How could this be happening........how could this be....... You think so, but there is no answer. The only thing to do now is to destroy the demon. But I can't help but think that.


　And the hellish battlefield is still going to continue.....
