I pulled out a blockage from the item box and moved quickly to the sky above Nell's location with it in my hand, and with a swift swoop, my wings disappeared.

I'm not going to be able to get it right. Wow--

"Ooh!

　In less than a few seconds, the ground approached, and my body, which was not slowing down as its wings were obliterated, collided with the ground with tremendous force.

　Intense dust danced around, and a powerful impact hit my entire body.
　The impact of the big sword I wielded upon landing sent the zombies flying through the air like confetti.

Oh, man!

Hey, you look good.

　He stood up, grinned at the center of the explosion, and puffed out his cheeks as he said this.

I'm so sorry. You scared the shit out of me!

I'm sorry, man!

　With a bang, he swung his sword like a baseball bat and knocked the rest of the attacking zombies off their feet. Well, that was a home run.

　This blow won't be enough to kill them, but it will buy us some time.

Here, Nell. Here, Nell.

　Before long, I opened the item box, took out an advanced mana potion from it and threw it at the brave man.

　According to my analysis skills, the brave man's status was almost empty of MP. Perhaps he was using holy magic that seems to be literally effective against zombies.

This is an advanced mana potion! It's a d*mn fine product!

Oh, don't react like that. It's an emergency, right?

Oh, yes, yes, yes. Okay, thank you very much.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find the best way to get the most out of this article.

　It's a good thing that the effect is certain, and the brave man's MP is slowly but surely beginning to recover.

It's a good thing that you're able to do this. I've found some kind of culprit, so I'll go destroy it. The rest is up to you.

You just said something incredibly important in a nutshell! But then, I'd like to--

"You're going to protect this place, right?

　So I pointed to the church behind the brave men.

　According to the map, the church was filled with children and others who were injured and hadn't escaped.

　If the brave man hadn't been here, these people would have been in the belly of the zombies or among them.

That's right. I can't leave here. ...... demon king, please. I'll do anything--

"Hmm? Now you say what?

"...... eh

You hear that right? You'll hear all about it later, okay?

"Oh, uh, well, you know,

"What? Maybe you want to say no to it? You are a brave man and you want to change your mind?

"Ugh, ......, okay, you know, I'll ask you anything. And, but you know what? Oh, not too much ...... eh, not too naughty, okay?

　I grin at the brave man with a tearful face and say.

Hmm? What are you talking about?

Go to ......?

I just thought I'd get another tour when the city gets settled, you know? What the hell did you imagine?

　The brave man finally noticed that he was being carried, his face instantly turned red and he swung his holy sword at me.

I'm not going to be able to get it right. Stupid!

　After dodging the brave man's sword flash, I jumped into the air.

I'm not going to be able to get rid of it. Oh, yeah, I'll tell Leffi to come here, so if you need help, just ask him. I'm telling you, Leffi is a lot stronger than you think!

"Don't know, you idiot! Get the hell out of here!


　　　* * *


　I returned to the sky above where Leffy was and said, "Leffy! Just west of there, Nell is in trouble with a crying face, help her out a bit! I'm going to crush the criminal! And with a loud cry, Gu, and seeing her thumbs up, flapped a pair of wings on her back.

　Simultaneously, the speed of the flight accelerated at once, and the wind pressure hit her whole body.

　The landscape goes on and on.

　Beyond the city, beyond the outer walls--eventually, my vision catches sight of them.

　Three, four, ...... six people.

　It's less than I expected, but ...... well, we'll just crush them, no matter how many.

"Phew...　

　I was flying through the ground with my concealed weapon, and then I made a surprise attack.
　At the speed of my flight, I swing my grip on the barricade - a flash.

I feel the response of the weapon.

　A massive splatter of blood, like a shower, a beat behind.

　Five out of six people didn't notice my presence until the very end, parting their lower and upper bodies in tears, but the rest seemed to notice right before the attack and avoid the slash from a great distance.

You are a demon!

　That's when the magic that made the bastards disappear seemed to be lifted, "I'm a suspicious guy! The figure of a suspicious-looking, all-black man, who seems to be claiming that he's the only one who can be seen, oozes out of the darkness.

"You dodged a bullet! Compliments! Then you're dead!

　I clutched the man who had evaded me with my own momentum and hit him with a second blow.

Tsk. ......!

　As soon as the man sees that he is no match for his strength, he immediately shifts the battle to parry the attack and parry my greatsword with a dagger that I instantly pull out of my waistband.

　I succeed in slicing through the black-robed woman's shoulder, but it doesn't seem to be a fatal wound. As it was, the black-robed woman moved further away and faced me head-on.

Why are demons interrupting us?

"Hanh! Listen to your tits!

　With that said, I set up my blockade and tried to close the distance at once - but the blackout moved faster.



Come on out, you dark-skinned wanderers!

　That's right, as soon as the black one cried out, a magic circle appeared on the ground, emitting a blue-white light.

　The light of the magic circle intensified for a moment, and then quickly subsided - and when the circle disappeared, there was a group of demonic zombies (・・・・・・・) that you could tell were already dead at a glance.

　There are many different kinds of zombies, some are wolf zombies, some are bear zombies, and some look like dinosaurs.
　You will find that the sparkle of life has disappeared from their eyes and their bodies are rotten in many places, but their movements are quite smooth, unlike the zombies in the city, and they are probably strong in their own right.

I'm not going to be able to say that they are two or three times more powerful than the undead that are attacking the city! There's no way for you to live now that you've been seen! Die here, demon!

"...... You can see why Leffi says they're not a bunch of jerks.

　--It's a shame you got your way with this shit.

　Don't worry, I'm going to send every single one of them back to the (・・・・・・・) world (・・・・・・・・・).

Don't worry, I'm going to send every last one of them back to you (). Zombies!

　I dared to charge in and run into the enemy's zombie horde.

　--First, one.

　I kick away the wolf-zombie that attacked me with a bite attack and slash its exposed body in midair with a rupture.

　At the same time, I shift half a step to evade the bear-zombie's sharp-clawed attack from the other side, and in return, I cut off its head.

　Crush the no-longer-unknown demon zombie that's trying to take me off my feet, fly away from the triceratops-like zombie's charge, and stab its neck with your greatsword.

　Flowing.

　Slash it, twist it, kick it away, tear it in two.

　Twist, punch, slash, slam, and shred.

　They're stronger than the city's full of them, but they're still zombies. They lack the luster of life and move somewhat awkwardly.

　This demon king's body isn't strong enough to struggle against such an opponent.

　--If you guys were still alive, we might have struggled.

Tsk. ...... monster.

"Don't let me!

　I ran to the Kurogaijinuke to add more zombies, but then the Kurogaijinuke grinned and lifted one cheek.

You are a fool! I can't do anything but charge--what?

"I can see it, Mishita!

　He must have planted it while I was distracted by the monster zombies. It's a set-up-type magic that was planted sometime ago on the ground and is destroyed by hitting a passerby with the magic you've concocted.

　This is a magic-destroying spell called Dispel Magic (・・・・・・・).

　The mechanism is simple: scatter your magic in large quantities to interfere with the magic of your opponent's magic, distorting its composition and preventing it from forming.

　By its very specifications, dispel magic involves using a large amount of magic at one time, but ...... that one time was enough.

　The fact that some kind of magic has been planted is literally visible to the magic eye. Don't think you can use magic to catch me by surprise.

This--

Too late!

　As soon as he realized that the magic had failed, the black-robed man immediately tried to evade, but his initial move was delayed by a momentary startle - first my great sword pierced the black-robed man's body.
