While Charlotte and the Numbers are engaging in battle, a pair of men suddenly appear.



"It's fun to watch them crush each other, but I'd really like to kill them directly.



　One is a boy. He looks about the same age as Charlotte.

　He has white hair, red eyes, a cocky face, and bat-like wings on his back.



"What a pain in the ass. ......"



　The other is a fleshy woman.

　Her hair, also white, is as long as she is tall, but braided into a single strand. Her expression was as gloomy as her words, as if she were about to be in trouble.



　They float without flapping their wings.



"Who are you ......?"



"Hey, did you hear that, Murzala?　A human being has sent a question to Master Urim, a demon."



"...... what can I do for you?"



"Hah!　Of course I've got it. We're going to take you hostage and we're going to kill him. So I'll let some of you guys get away with just a little dismemberment. The rest of you I'll just crush to pieces.



"Ah ......,moron."



　Urim, the boy demon, reveals his name and identity, and even blurts out his purpose.

　Murzala, the female Majin, sighs and looks aghast.



　The number <<4> shouts out.



"I don't know about this, but I consider them enemies. It is astonishing that she can control flying magic, but there is no way we can miss the opportunity. Let's go!



　With a shout of warning, he rushes toward Urim.

　At the same time, the shrewd number <<12> also turned around.



"Stop it, both of you!



　Alexei's attempts to restrain him fail.

　He gathers magic in his fists and whips his whip, but..,



"Geez!"

"Aah!"



　He was hit by a direct hit from a black magic bullet fired from Urim.



"Idiot! Flying is not going to use up most of our magical resources. I have a different amount of magic than you. But that's a reward for being suicidal. I should have gone easier on them and made them suffer a little more.



　Urim laughs, and Murzala lets out another sigh.



"You're so stupid. Take a good look. They're still alive."



"What?



　They were lying on their backs, but they were still breathing.



"You did this, you bastard!"



　Urim glared at Alexei.



"It wasn't me. But with that tone of voice, it seems that you are my enemies as well.



"Well, yeah. And I order you to take care of the dead while you're at it. I'm a little uncomfortable about it, but don't worry, I'll make it easy for you.



　Charlotte, who had been watching the exchange, raised her walking stick.



"I see... I don't really understand, but it's the theory. How about we cooperate with each other, as we share a common enemy, Mr. Alexei?



"I don't blame you. But you are no better than they are, and neither am I. What else can we do but wait for her to recover?



　Alexei glances at Frey, who is still lying in the white cloth shivering.



　He glanced at the other.

　The other members of the Numbers had been silenced by Johnny and the others and could not be counted on as a force to be reckoned with. Even if they were there, they would not be able to deal with the demon.



"Night Skeletons, please protect the wounded. Princess Marianne and Prince Laius will follow them. Iris and Alexei, you take care of the other side. I will support them and manage the whole situation!"



　Despite the rough instructions, everyone seemed to understand their roles as if by revelation and started moving at the same time.



"Hey, hey, hey! Do you think you can beat me?



"Forget it, why don't you just leave the annoying little guy and kill him?"



You're gonna have to do the same thing.



"Huh. ......



　Alexei and his team seem to be defending themselves instead of attacking.

　They are waiting for them,



"Well, I guess I'll kill you first."



"What?



　Mulzara's arms stretched out.

　Alexei just barely avoids the attempt to grab his head.



　He dodges the two arms that are relentlessly chasing him, popping them with black bullets.



"...... not enough?"



　Murzala mumbled annoyingly, and his shoulders rose up. Another arm sprouts from it.



"Another strange trait you've been given!"



　Alexei's face twisted as he was chased around by the four arms.



"What are you waiting for? Get rid of him and put your hands around me! Just like they say."



"Uza ......"






　Urim, on the other hand, is raining black bullets.

　Johnny and the other night skeletons in the back fight back with their swords, but are hit by several of them and torn to pieces. But they soon regain their strength.



"Wham!"



　Lias is also hit and blown away.



"d*mn, that's heavy. ......"



　I managed to get back on my feet, but another black bullet was closing in,



"Move now!"



　Princess Marianne successfully hit a water bullet to change its trajectory and saved the day.



"Sorry, I can't get to you. ......"



　Iris seems to be doing her best to block the black bullets with her fists and kicks. He is moving away from Urim, not closer to him.



　It's a one-sided turn of events, but Urim holds his tongue a little.



（Strange. My magic has a curse that affects the core. How can you take a direct hit and still be in one piece?)



　But the Demons still have the upper hand.



"Fluffy ......, we're in danger if we keep going like this ......."



　Charlotte follows each place with light magic, but she seems to be getting more and more dizzy.

　Frey, the one who has been our rock, is still lying on his side.



"d*mn, that's a hassle. Just eat this for now!"



　An exceptionally large black sphere, more than three meters in diameter, appears before Urim's eyes.



"Oh, no!



　Crashing through the air, the goal is to reach the injured and the bone and bone army that protects them.

　Charlotte herself steps in between them, thrusting out her hands to defend them.



"HAN!　I was going to let you live, but I had no choice. Crumble in the dark!"



　Charlotte bit her back teeth.

　The brother (・・・・・) can't help but burst into tears at the sight of her sacrificing herself to protect her friends.



　Yes!　Here!



　I had been rather busy with camouflage wards to hide my figure and watch over them, and also to disable the strange effects of the black bullets, etc. I took off my camouflage wards and jumped in.



　While blocking the huge black shells with protective wards, I shot numerous tiny wards at them, causing them to dissipate.



　Nice.

　I'm proud of myself for making it look so cool.



"Shiva!"



　Charu's eyes are shining.



"When did you do that?



"You guys did a great job. Sorry I'm late."



　Heroes are late comers.

　I would have liked to surprise him from behind, but I had to make him happy.



　As a matter of fact, Frey is already back. But I had told him to stay out of it.



"I took care of them. You guys can keep on with your exploration of the ruins."



"--?

What the hell is this?



　A door appears in front of each of the wizards. The door opened and caught them, pulling them inside.



　Then I create another door and enter it.



Good luck!



　With Charles cheering at my back, I set out to defeat the intruder. I'm so motivated.
