I peeled off the exterior of the underground dragon and dragged out his body.
　We've already discussed what to do after this, and I've given instructions to Tart and Dia.

........The materials in the sanctuary, and the information about the demon race there, tends to be more detailed the more the previous generations of heroes struggled with it.
　In that respect, the underground dragon was described in considerable detail on that huge exterior itself, but the main body of the demon race is only described as having been defeated inside the body.
　Perhaps, but the main body isn't very strong.
　So we'll go with our basic tactics.
　Tart will hold them back, Dia will apply the [Demon Race Killer] and I will kill them.
　It's preferable to be in a blind spot when hitting it by surprise, and this hole he dug is the best place to do it.

''[Freeze]

Solidifying the water surface makes it a foothold.
　That's good enough for precision shooting. And you can aim at him from here as well.
　With the railgun's super firepower, it's easy to pierce the target with an entire wall if it's an earthen wall of this magnitude.
By taking out the railgun from the crane leather bag and using the wind exploration magic, I link wind and sight.
　My role is to finish him off with snipers, and if I can't respond with tarts and deer, I'll follow up immediately.

◇

Both Tart and Dear emerge from the trench.
　When Deer threw the foul stone, he had dug the trench as far away as he could reach with Tart's wind.
　He hadn't dug it at random, but had calculated that the blast and the flying bearings would pass over his head, and he had dived into the trench at the same time as he threw it, putting up a strong warding to cover the trench.
　Otherwise he would have been dead, and because he could do that kind of thing, the rogue left it up to Deer.

'Hey, did you get it right?'
'Yes, that big, creepy thing blew up, and only the little white vines regenerated.
So you were right about Lugue, then?

The rogue's specialty, wind exploration magic, could also be used by the tart.
　That's why he was able to see the situation properly while hiding in the trenches.
　However, in the case of Tart, his magic skills and computing ability are several levels inferior to those of Rougues, so he has narrowed the range of effect and simplified the information items to be collected.

''........I'll stop the movement as per the rogue's strategy.
Okay.
And don't forget that we're told to run if you're in any kind of danger.
'It's okay. I can keep my cool at all times now.

Tart grabs his magic spear and Dia draws his pistol and jumps out of the trench.
　Tart injects the drug into his neck.

For a short period of time, it removes the brain's limiters and enhances the physical ability and magic release flow. Furthermore, a potion that improves concentration.
　The first time I used the one for short term battles was at the instruction of Lugue.
　The opponent is a demon race whose abilities are unknown. It's suicidal to be stingy with them. Also, if they can't win the short term battle, they have been instructed to leave Lug and run away immediately.

As Tart puts strength into his hand holding the magic spear, Deer pulls his pistol out of its thigh holster and attaches the parts to the barrel.
　A closer look reveals that Deere's gun is a new model.
　It was one size larger, and by attaching additional parts to the barrel, it became a bayonet. And the part of the blade was engraved with magic characters.

'Yeah, it looks good. With this, I can work harder than usual.''

This is meant to augment the melee ability, but more than that, it's to make this gun a wizard's wand.
　The role of the staff is to give magic directionality and magic convergence aid. You can use magic without a wand, but its accuracy and power are both reduced.
　However, if you have a staff, you can't use a pistol, which is the cornerstone of proximity defense. That's why Lug thought of a weapon that has the properties of both a staff and a gun.
　As a gun, it had more weight and the center of gravity in front of it made it difficult to handle, but the effect was more than compensated for.

'I'll go first.'

The hulking demon tribe inside the underground dragon was trying to escape.
They gave up on completing the [Fruit of Life] and preferred to survive.
　We can't let them escape here.

........There was no guarantee that that demon tribe couldn't create a subterranean dragon again. If that happens, the city might be destroyed by another one.
　That's why the tarts are ahead of us.
　A fox-eared and fluffy tail grows on the tart. It's a trump card 【Beastification】. An aggressive color resides in its eyes, which is typical of carnivorous beasts.
　I'm going to be able to finish chanting 【Wind Shield Exterior】 while running, clad in wind armor, which allows me to use both defense and acceleration.

''My homework is paying off.''

In the previous Tart, when he was transformed into a beast, he couldn't control his instincts and was not good at chanting magic, but the daily training and the "homework" that Roog had given him had paid off, and he was able to chant even difficult magic like this.

"Fight, fight, fight, fight, kill!

Even though he has no eyes, ears, or nose, the hulking demon tribe turns his face to the tart and stretches out his right hand.
　A sharp finger with a hardened tip extends with the speed of a bullet. Tart reacts to it with the sixth sense and super reflexes that beasts have that are unique to the [Beastification] state, and accelerates and closes the distance while forcibly avoiding it by releasing wind.
　As the ducked fingers pierce the earth, the soil at each fingertip turns into a giant golem and attacks the tart.
　Perhaps this is part of the ability to create that subterranean dragon.
　If the tart itself had been pierced, it might have been turned into a puppet.

''It's too late!''

Tart ignores the chasing golems and accelerates further.
　By releasing all the remaining wind and using it as propulsion, he reaches superspeed and leaves the golems behind.

'Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!'

The flatulent demon tribe tries to extend its opposite left hand.
　At this distance and at this speed, dodging the earlier attack is impossible, even for the 【Beastification】 Tart. No matter what kind of reflexes and agility you have, it's physically impossible to duck.
　That's why Tart chose not to duck.

''I got it!

Tart didn't slow down at all until the end, and as a result, before the left arm of the Nopeno Demon Tribe could come up, he stabbed his spear into the air. ........If he had hesitated even a little bit, he wouldn't have made it in time.
　The slimy demon tribe was crucified to the earth with the spear.
　In order to crucify them, Tart thrust his spear diagonally downward, and as soon as it pierced, he let go of his hand and ran through.

Tart's attack didn't end there.
　Tarto turns around and chants the lightning strike magic developed by Dia and Rougue.
A magic named 【Gourai Lightning】.
　As the name implies, it creates a thundercloud and sends down lightning.
　The use of thunderclouds instead of directly generating electricity makes it possible to create thunderbolts that are more powerful than the magical power they consume.

However, it takes a long time for the thundercloud to fall, and due to the nature of lightning, the accuracy of the thundercloud is low.
　However, it's a different story if you have a lightning rod called a spear to crucify it and block its movement.

Finally, now, the golems caught up with them and tried to interfere with Tart's chanting.
　Each of those five golems is carved with bullet holes.
　Considering the huge bodies of the golems, bullets would not even be able to slow them down. However, the magic power contained in the bullets swells, and the golem's joints, the joints of the golem, are crushed, hardened, and unable to move a single muscle.

''I don't want you to forget about me.

Dia tells him briefly and begins chanting a new magic.
　Tart thanked her with his eyes and finally completed the chanting.

''【Great Thunder】''

A thundercloud is born and glows.
　And then lightning strikes.
　The lightning strikes like a spear.
　The super voltage and super electric current struck the slack-jawed demon tribe, and since the lightning struck the spear that pierced its body, it was burned from the inside out.
　It definitely stopped moving.
　At that moment, Dia's magic was completed.
　There's only one magic to unleash here.

''[Demon Killer]'

It is the only super magic in the world that can kill demons. It's so difficult that no one but Roughr and Dea were able to activate it, and Dea chanted it with ease.
　A red magic bullet, compressed like a bullet, is shot from the tip of the bayonet, which serves as a staff.

When it hits the topsy-turvy demon, the field unfolds and a red jeweled heart shines in the bottom of the topsy-turvy demon's belly.
　That's the core of the demon tribe.
　As long as you don't crush it, it will continue to regenerate... or rather, restore itself indefinitely.
　Conversely, as long as you destroy the core, you can even kill immortal demons.

"My Shinzo is beautiful.

The demon tribe, whose skin was being regenerated by the lightning charred skin, muttered in an enraptured tone of voice. There was still room for him.
If he didn't materialize with the [Demon Race Killer], only a brave man could break it, and even if he materialized, its hardness surpassed all possible metals on this earth.
　It can't be shattered by ordinary firepower, and the effect of 【Made-Clan-Killer】 is only a few seconds.
　It's because they know this that they can afford it.
　However, the demon race does not know. ........to the fact that an unusual attack is coming.
　In the next moment, from the ground, a super-fast bullet that reaches ten times the speed of sound appears, and Red's heart is pierced, and in the aftermath, a little later, his body is torn apart and blown apart.
　He would never regenerate again.

He wouldn't even be able to recognize the moment he died.
The [Railgun]'s unreasonable speed and destructive power hit an unceremonious end.
　Another pillar, a demon tribe, passed away.

''It's a tempting sniper.''
'It's amazing that you can see it linked to the wind, even though it's supposed to be a different sensory experience than a visual one. That's what I'm talking about.

Tart releases [Beastification], the fox ears and tail disappear, and Dia removes the bayonet blade and puts the gun back in its holster.
　Then, Tart and Deere high-five each other.

'I'm glad we won. ........That was the weakest demon race I've ever seen.
'Probably put most of his power into that big creepy bug-looking thing. Normally, it's invincible. I don't think I could kill that big thing. And it's not fair to run away into the dirt.
Yes. It's just that Master Lugue was too amazing to think of a way to kill that thing.

Proudly, Tart compliments Roug.

'That's not all. Tart has become surprisingly strong, so it felt easy. I think I'm even with the demons now.
''It's probably because I'm with Lug-sama. I feel that if you are close to the Rouge-sama, you will become stronger than ever. Even Lady Dia-sama is getting stronger and stronger.

He would have been delighted if Lug had heard this line.
　Not long ago, the tart would have been humbled. A nice change.

'Maybe. Well, let's go get this rogue now.
Yes, I'm looking forward to hearing Master Rogues' praise.

The two girls smile and run to the hole where the city has sunk.
　They crawl up from there to meet their beloved as quickly as possible.

For these girls, the joy of being praised, stroked, and hugged by their loved ones was much greater than the joy of defeating the demon race.
　I peeled off the exterior of the underground dragon and dragged out his body.
　We've already discussed what to do after this, and I've given instructions to Tart and Dia.

........The materials in the sanctuary, and the information about the demon race there, tends to be more detailed the more the previous generations of heroes struggled with it.
