Vaget landed aloof and spare. It's as if he's taken the entire impact of the explosion.

　No one was able to see how to avoid it. While we don't know what kind of method they used to get through, the gap between them in terms of strength only widened.
　The faintly smoking tachi sword emitted a white light and gave a glimpse of the second-ranked, unfathomable strength.

　In addition to the close range, it was a blink-and-you'll-miss-it sign of an explosion. No one would be able to react.
　But in fact, a moment later Vaget - the target of the attack had changed immediately. From Letty and others to the explosion in front of him.

　He was able to catch all the explosions that engulfed his entire body. It was his magic and skill that allowed him to achieve this.

　Even so, he wasn't unscathed, and he didn't give a second thought to the tips of his hair that stretched to below his waist, which showed a chilling and smoldering smell. With one hand, he lightly scooped up the brightly wavy blade sentence with one hand and slid it into his hair with a swoosh, and he didn't take his gaze off Letty and the others as the ten centimeters of hair danced in a harrowing fashion.

　However, as soon as he saw Letty's wound, Vaget sheathed the tip of his sword.

'If you don't heal it right away, it will be useless for the rest of your life. The Alpha will now be under Iberis' watchful eye. As long as you don't do anything you don't want to, you won't have to do anything untoward. You'll hear the details from Master Haorg.

　Beric was the first one to frown at this. Cicernias were already in no condition to just think about countermeasures. More than anything else, it would be difficult to force a breakthrough in this situation.

　Perhaps because of his age, Beric didn't feel any emotions akin to anger. Still, he has the will to pass. It's a stubborn conviction. Lynne must be sure to let it leave or it will all go down without starting.

　--and even then, when you go around, it's called trusting your opponent, or maybe you don't doubt them. I've been roasted, too.

　It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get a good deal more than you think. I'm almost certain that this situation had been decided from the very beginning. That's how quick it is.
　It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what to expect.

　-- I don't need to question my resolve again. There's no change in what you have to do as the Governor and as a guardian.......let's do it, Letty.

　The mouth that had been twisted in intense pain when I turned my gaze to it clearly tells me that a weight has been lifted from my shoulders.
　The belligerent atmosphere that was propagated made Letty's troopers immediately shift into a war-ready state. A hostile atmosphere filled the air that did not question the decision of the top brass.
　At the front, Sajik and Mugel were fully equipped with AWR and clothed in a different kind of magic.

''Well, that's too bad,''

　The sound of a voice, which may or may not be a true one, sends a gush of magical power rushing through your body.
　I'm not sure if this is the right choice for you. You're going to be able to find out if you're going to be able to get the best out of it.
　They don't think about the odds. This is because they know that Letty's decisions are always correct. To be precise, we've known each other long enough to not regret making a mistake. Trust and confidence did not cause any hesitation at all.

　I would not spare the slightest bit of my life to entrust her with it. And moreover, with this one incident regarding Ars, at least the mage here felt nothing but gratitude. That's why he's willing to do anything recklessly if he can return it.


　He took a jittery position around Vaget and braced himself to keep his gaze on her for a moment or two. Even though I've dealt with demons, the one in front of me is a human.
　There is more or less resistance, which certainly makes them lack momentary judgment.

　Even though they know that, they pass their magic power through each AWR.

'You know what I mean, Sajik. I can't let the captain do anything more reckless than this. That's what a man........
I know. That's what a man does.

　Most of all, the situation of being killed if you don't kill them is because they see far above their opponent's capabilities. But the two of them do not show any hesitation at all.
　This is because even if the other party is a single wizard, the two of them cannot miss anything that would harm Leti or Ars.

　If that's what Leti decides to do, it's the role of the two subordinates to silently obey her. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you want to do.


　It was the first time they had ever fought under these circumstances, but they couldn't see any signs of disorganization in the troops, let alone a false sense of urgency.
　It was as if perhaps Letty's troops had stopped dealing with Vaget as a human.


''Let's go with the [Double Counterattack], Mugel.
Agreed. Don't get too far ahead of yourself.

　At the same time as experiencing an unprecedented sense of tension, there will never be a time when you are motivated by a principle of action that is so mission-like as this one.
　The name of the operation announced by Sajik [Double Counterattack] was originally Leti engaging the target, and Sajik and Mujel alternately replaced each other, and this was an aggressive operation that seemed to reflect her personality.
　Still, the biggest concern included the fact that the other members of the squad would avoid close combat as much as possible.

　The beastly giant man was enveloped by a tremendous electric shock, and the framed gantred scattered strange sounds and white light like a decisive blow.
　And Mugel's poisonous magical pigment began to gather eerily into the tonfa.

''A regrettable force. But it's inevitable if we find order.''

　In order to pull out that long sword, there should still be an unnecessary movement. Therefore, if you can decide to make the first move, you don't have to pull out the taijutsu... even if Sajik thinks about it.

'I'm not naive.

　However, the reliable man next to him activated his magic without a beat. Perhaps Mugel was ashamed of himself for not being able to move instantly in Letty's pinch, and he thought he had a chance to recover. He wanted to take the lead as much as possible.

　Oddly enough, the signal was still Letty.
　I'm not going to let you get any closer, Linne-san, so you can go ahead and do it with impunity," heard behind me, and the bravado that could be taken as vainglory had no greater effect on the team members than any other.

''Letty-sama........''
Let's go!

　Linne moved, and Vaget, seeing this, moved his gaze and put his hand on the sword.
　But this time, Mugel was faster.

''[Wilderness Dying (Will Danes)]

　The tip of the tonfa lowers and squeezes out the blackened purple liquid that oozes from the tip. Immediately after it falls to the ground like sewage.
　The lush green turf is contaminated to black as if it has an ego.
　The momentum strikes Vadgett, covering his surroundings as it expands its range.

　This was a magic that was not well known even within Alpha. Therefore, Vaget didn't move immediately and analyzed the nature of the magic.
　It would have given him enough warning to stall them.... but....

　A gust of wind blew through.

　So much so that it was a divine speed iai. Vaget slashed the ground in a circle around him.
　The only reason he realized this was because the magic that Mugel had unleashed only surrounded him and ended its activity.

　The spine, the spine, is strong.
　I wondered if I would really be able to see that taiji muscle.

　He wondered if his neck and body would be separated by the time he realized it. What he did instantly was to confirm. He wondered if he was still alive.

　It was as if his pride had been crushed as an expert in dealing with poison. Mugel, who was good at changing the nature of magic power, was mainly an assistant when it came to combat. Even so, this magic that paralyzes the nerves was not seen through, but was broken just because a simple boundary line was constructed.

　Eroding the range [Wilderness Dying (Will Danes)] has no clear direction, as it erodes the space it touches without specifying coordinates. It's a magic that can be used in the outside world, and it's a poison that mainly acts on the nerves.

　In other words, Vaget filled the area of himself that would be eroded with his own magic power. It's likely that the concentration of magic power in the space was raised to the limit by flashing a sword loaded with magic power.

　The black rotting turf in a doughnut shape crumbled and returned to the earth.
　The giant body next to it disappeared, engulfing the wind.

　Sajik, who appeared in front of Vaget in a straight line, swung his mighty fist down.
　The effect of the magic that Mujel had released had not yet worn off, but he had foreseen it and gone on the offensive.

　Vaget received the fist swung down from directly above, with the faintest glimpse of the blade from the scabbard. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this.
　The reason is that there is no way you can receive that thunderclad fist directly. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to find a way to make it work.

　In the slightest circle he would have dodged Sajik's attack by moving only half a step.

　However, Sajik's decision was correct, as he hadn't let his sword be completely drawn. Besides, the effect of the magic that Mugel had activated would wear off at the same time as it landed.

　The offense and defense of the gap is largely due to Sajik's [Force].......and yet Vaget was following his speed.

　No, this was unexpected and expected at the same time. That's what the strategy was for.
　Because the chance of victory lies in the fact that Sajik is perfectly attached to it.

　The two of them were out of the range of [Wilderness Death Age (Will Danes)], and Sajik was gradually beginning to push. But.........

''I'm completely taken in!　It's the other guy's fault....

　Mugel's reputation is that the powerful arms unleashed from Sajik's huge body would originally feel relatively slow. However, the double-edged magic called 【Force】 is the solution to that.
　

　It's not, even if it looks like I'm pushing it.
　Immediately after thinking that, he slipped his body precisely in line with Sajik's fist that was unleashed like a lightning strike. It looked to Mujer as if he had lightly poked his elbow. A moment later - Sajik's log-like neck leaps upward as if being pulled.

　He thrust his long taiji sword, sheath and all, into Saziq's chest, and without a moment's pause, he pulled out the hilt, and the butt of the hilt struck his jaw. The power of the attack is raised because it is an attack by AWR rather than a bad meatball fight.

''Not yet!

　He forced his leaping head back with only muscle power.
　Sajik's angry voice made Mugel brace himself as well. He didn't watch in stunned amazement at anything.

　Sajik's biceps and deltoids bulged as he forcefully flexed his jumped-up body. He shrank his arms to the front of his chest as if crushing something with both arms.
　In the blink of an eye, a light ball is created in front of his chest. A tremendous spark gushed out from there.

　It is a dazzling mass of electric shock so bright that you can temporarily lose your eyesight if you look at it up close.
　I'm not going to be able to get the same thing done. There was not a minute's error in coordination.


　Several pillars grow out of the ground to cover the two men, Sajik and Vaget. I'm not going to be able to get my hands on them.
　It was a rock-hard surface as well as a sharp tip. A pile of thorns as tall as his body grew in chaos.
　Various strains let magic power pass through their tops. Interfering with magic with magic would cause conflicts, but each pile of thorns constructed by the squad members is too imperfect for magic.

　They were continuing the process even now that they had manifested it. Hence, there was no time to devote to other magic.

　Waiting for this moment, Mugel sublimated the composition he had been concocting into magic at once. He concocted his magic to the maximum extent and constructed a complex maze. It is a hallucinatory magic without an exit that wanders endlessly and permanently. It is a magic that is even at its highest level.

''You will be silenced for a little while [Infinite Labyrinth, Lavulinthus].
