''Ku........!''

　Ida's expression changed.
　It became impatient and tight.

　The existence of demonic beasts is a venerable threat to the extent that even Ida, who seems invincible, is made to panic.

''You guys!　Defeat those Drismegian men there!

　A shout that resembled a scream.

''The Wind Demon Beast will be hit by me and Estelica!　Strike the main body while we hold the most dangerous one in check!
'What!　No way...?

　It took Radie and the others a little while to understand that it was directed at them.

''As long as the person who uses the emissary magic is defeated, the magical beast will be released!　It's the most efficient way!　Fine, I'll leave it to you!

　The roar released by the demonic beast.
　Perhaps because it controlled the wind, the cry itself had the striking power of a bullet of air.

　It can easily penetrate even Ida's spatial distortions and reach him himself.

''Guh!
''Ida-sama!''

　I don't know where Estelica had hidden it, but she drew a swing of her sword and let go.

''Even as expected of Ida-sama, it's too much of a burden for you to take on a demonic beast by yourself.......!　I'm going to join the party!

　I say to the rest of you.

'As Master Ida has planned!　He and I are going to have to hold the windjammer back while you guys take down the infernos!　It's unworthy of relying on the people of this world, but in this situation, there's only you guys!

　Then, just as a help, he flew off with his eyes on the wind monster beast in the air.
　Valhalla's Apostle, flying normally.

''But don't underestimate them!　The Four Heavenly Kings and the Brave who have gone to hell and back!　You're better than that!

　After saying that much, he swung his sword down on the giant dragon, but his voice and figure were drowned out by the strong wind of the counterattack without being able to slice through it roku.

　Lacking the most dependable aliens, the original strongest people on earth faced the monsters.

''Eh?　We have to do this, don't we?　I thought I could leave it all up to those bastards and make it easy for them?
'Don't be naive. That's what I was going to do originally, until I struggled.

　In spite of Zebiantes's insincerity, Droyer was motivated.

　Two people to hold in view.
　It is so eerie and weird that it is out of this world.

'You guys, I'll ask for the elongated one over there.

　Saying that, it was the brave Radey who proceeded out.
　He stood alongside Droyer, who was supposed to be the enemy.

You're not going to be able to get the same side as you...?
''That's how unusual the situation is right now. In the first place, when you get involved with Dariel-san, a lot of common sense is overruled, so you'll just have to get used to it.
..........

　Droyer was speechless, not knowing what to say in return.

''........There are two enemies. We have an overwhelming advantage in terms of numbers. ..........and you leave the slender one to us?

　The enemy inferno split into two, lined up with a tall, skinny man and a short, muscular, thickly built man.

'From the conversation, the tall one seems to be of the demon race and the smaller one of the human race. It's easier to read each other's hands when they're dealing with their own kind.
Maybe but we've fought that chainman before.

　Bitter memories of being overwhelmed without a hand or foot come back.

''The ten chains filled with aura have easily shattered even my earthen rock barriers. You are a fearsome opponent. Can you people be able to outrun them?
'You're going to give me advice?　That's very kind of you.

　Droyer's nose blanched in dismissal after being pointed out as such.

'But don't worry, Dariel-san also beat me up on dealing with the whip system. It's not us who fall behind. .........Satome!　Mr. Sesha!　Mr. Zester!

　He called out the names of the friends he was fighting with.

'Our enemy is that short man!　Weapons in chains!　I saw someone with the aptitude for a hit (hitting) aura!　We'll attack from all sides, taking care of the attack range!
""Yes!"

　The party members scattered as if they were striking and echoed, each approaching the chain-user Avos from a completely different direction.

''........Uzeez.''

　Chains that wring as a response.
　The ten chain shot that once raged in Lasperda Fortress. Before that, the four heavenly kings of the day were unable to do anything about it, but this time it attacked the current brave men and women.

　However.

''........!

　Radie and the others read the chain's trajectory with precision and dodged it expertly.

No hits?　Can't you just...?
Your chain's trajectory is too straightforward!　We need to mix more feints or we won't hit it forever!
What?　She's a little girl...?
Dariel-san's Hermes floggers can change their trajectory at the most inexcusable times!　By comparison, your chains are elementary!

　The Radies, who use dodging without preventing, are able to cross over sufficiently against Avos.

''They........are completely different from the last time we fought them.

　The results of his training under Dariel were truly evident.
　It was only because Droyer had experience in combat with these women that he could see the changes.

　What would happen if that fighting ability came directly at him?

　A chill ran down Droyer's spine at the thought.

''Doroye. It's not the time to be gazing at them!

　I huff as Zebiantes calls me over.

''We will take care of our share. If you are slow to do that, that is the end of the Four Heavenly Kings' reputation.
Oh, my God, yes.　Brace yourself, Zebiantes!
I'm already on my feet, aren't I?

　Zebiantes and Droyer.

　The two Four Heavenly Kings stepped together to confront a lifeless, deformed, slim body.

　Their bodies, which are as skinny as dead tree branches, are really life forms?
　It was so unreliable that it seemed so.

''If he's the one controlling the Wind Demon Beast, then as long as we can defeat him, that pompous child's hands will be free.
A pompous child, you mean Master Ida?　Don't be disrespectful. It's our great forerunner. And yet, as I see it, so does he.

　The skinny mage only looked down at the two beautiful women while remaining silent.
　It didn't seem like they had any intention of setting up from the other side. Is it a margin of safety?

''It seems that he's the old Four Heavenly Kings, but I don't have any idea, do I?　I'm not interested in it, so I'm sure I don't know about it.
'To say that with dignity!　........But I wouldn't know either. It's as likely to have been wiped out of existence as the Drismegians.

　That's what I mean by going to hell.

'From what we've been talking about, it seems the magic you're good at is wind. It's the same genus as you. Leave the analysis to me.
Oh no, I don't like details.

　Anyway, staring at each other won't get us anywhere.
　Let's start with the front door.

''I am one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King's Army, Droyer of the 'Fertile Ground'!
"Huafu..." "That's the same 'Huafu' Zebiantes...

　Droyer's seriousness was evident around starting with his name.

　The opposing enemy returned with a sneer.

'So?　Don't tell me you want me to give you my name back too?
''Even in the past, if you're the proud Fourth Heavenly King, you should at least show some common courtesy. I'll take that into consideration and ask you, who are you?
''Young lady. You are too dainty and dreamy to be at the top of the demon army. For the sake of your cuteness, let this be your answer.
"Whoa!

　The wind blew in.
　Both Droyer and Xeviantes covered their faces with their hands, because it was so sudden.

This gust of wind is your answer?　It's a concept!　The bottom line is that he hit me back!
You're a tomboy, Dana. You have a foul mouth. But I've already introduced myself, haven't I?
What?　What do you mean?　...There you are?

　Zebiantes screamed at the pain that suddenly ran through his epidermis.

''Ouch!　Ow, ow, ow!　It hurts!　What is it?　I have pins and needles all over my body!
Something's hitting me!　Is it small and hard...?　Stone?

　Little by little, you'll understand.

　It was a stone.
　Small stones, about the size of the tip of my pinky finger, were flying in the wind.

　And they were countless.

　They were hitting Zeviantes and Droyer's bodies and causing them pain.

''Ouch, ouch!　It hurts!　More and more of them are coming in!　It's making the pain worse!
''The power is increasing, this is...?

　The two of them, bathed in a fierce wind of pebbles, bent down to endure it.
　The number and speed of the pebbles flying has increased to the point where they can no longer be endured.

''This is my inherent ability and name sononoono........''

　The enemy mage says.

''The title the Demon King gave me is 'Conglomerate Wind'. I used to be one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King's Army, 'Conglomerate Wind' Cernya, Da.
