While Ars and the others were running down the passage to the downstairs--''

　''Garginis-sama! And the voice of repeated anxiety was echoing in the room 《pocket》.

　Garginis was stopping the attacks on Ars and the others passing through the outer passage.
　Like a pendulum, the tail swinging behind Serketo left an afterimage that blurred his vision. It didn't take long for the thick walls on both sides to become full of holes.

　The figure of Ordwise, still stuck in the tail, was beside the corpses of his friends behind him. It may have been exhausted, but there was no new blood flowing out, and like a broken doll, it didn't twitch with its limbs bent in a new direction.

　It took a little while to catch the tail, but even so, Galginis was now holding the huge tail at his side, tightening it up tightly. Behind the ventilated wall, he knew that he had delayed the action slightly. He heard the familiar sound of blood hitting the ground.

　Without loosening up at all, he realized in his brain. One person died on one side alone. The damage would have been done on the Fanon side on the other side as well.
　That's how inexcusable the disaster is. Although it takes a few shots to get a hit, the targeted party can't help but feel awful.

It's my fault. Even if there was a way to deal with it, the specs were too different to begin with.

　Are the clenching teeth out of remorse for the blunder caused by his own lack of awareness, or does it signify a limit to his grip on the tail?

　Either way, Garginis's flank as he grabbed his tail - a small crack had appeared in his armor.


　The magic, or rather the nature of the magic cast on the tail could be said to be complete penetration, so to speak. It also has the ability to repel all attacks.
　Originally, in front of a god speed thrust like this, the performance could be said to be excessive.
　This is more understandable when you tighten your arms around it.

(After all, it's the same nature as my armor?)

　Even the most homogeneous ones are different in power and strength.
　 The decisive difference between them and other countries is how they withstand the attacks of their opponents in defeating demons.
　A single attack from a demon can be fatal if it is flesh and blood. In contrast, Halkapudia has been assuming combat with bullets for decades.

　To put it simply, the AWR has the same hardness as a monster, and by using it as armor, we have dramatically increased our defensive strength.
　It can be said that the old style of battle has been modernized as it was.

　By wearing armor-type AWR, such as complete blocking of magic from the outside and shock reduction, the damage from close combat can be greatly reduced, and physical physical attacks can be strengthened.
　However, it's also largely dependent on the skill of the wearer, so it's not a matter of just wearing it.

(Guh!　I knew it!　(There's also the ability to get into the crevices of the configuration itself)

　As informed by Kalia, the properties of the tail and spire arms were extremely troublesome. They could directly interfere with the composition against the opponent's magic. The faint vibrations transmitted by the faintest of vibrations and the sound waves emanating from them would have the effect of breaking down the composition of the magic.

　It's only the homogeneous armor-type AWR that can hold it in this way. Preventing it with magic would be quite difficult. A Serketo tail is even the worst contraption for a magician dealing with magic.

　But the action of the tail should be much higher than the lancet arm. While holding it, Galginis was prevented from composing magic itself.
　Against the force that was trying to pull him back, Galginis's legs were dragged over the hard rock.

　Just stepping on it is enough to shatter your teeth.
　Even now that Ars and the others had passed through the passage, Garginis, realizing the threat the tail posed, didn't let go, but still caught it.

　But both pointed arms were attacking the defenseless Galginis.

　Still, he could not let go of this tail.
　A moment later, a metallic sound resounded in front of me that was so metallic that it even caused my ears to ring.

　Two of the two men in Garginis's squad, who were also acting as defenders, broke in front of Garginis as if they were slipping in.
　They held the huge tower shield with both hands and bounced back each of the pointed arms.

　The shield, which is even stronger than the main body of the armor, bounced back, but a large claw mark was carved into the shield.

　Quickly--.

''Formation [Oddeccept]!

　The two men who played their tails as Galginis instructed them to do so, line up their huge shields snugly beside each other, and the rest of the squad follows suit. The mid to long-range squad members get behind the shields.
　It is a formation that effectively executes hit-and-away with multiple players while defending, but the situation is different this time. In addition to the construction of an ironclad fortress, so to speak, it's a strong defensive wall to keep the captured tail from letting go.

　A streak of blood flows down from the edge of Garginis' mouth, which was tightening the tail.

''Drop the tail!

　Demons could repair deficiencies caused by the physical body. Garginis knew that there were several conditions for this as well. Strictly speaking, as long as the demon nucleus remained and there was enough magic power left to repair it, the demon could heal any defect.
　However, it would take a certain amount of time for the organs that had a large role to play as a body. In this case, the tail probably falls into that category.

　If the tail could be removed, this demon would not deviate from its normal threat level by much. In other words, the demon's inherent nature - apart from the important organs that it devotes a lot of resources to - is different.

　A silent acknowledgement was conveyed by each member of the squad, and a handless heavy warrior slipped out of the side of the small fortress.
　They each turn to the left and right, accelerating their heavy bodies a step or two to flesh out into the main body of Serketo. But the arms that were played off begin to blur slightly in their vision again.

　In terms of speed, it's nearly impossible to surpass Serketo's attack. There's no choice but to detect it through skin sensation, but there's still a way.

　This time, a gap was created in the protective wall of the shield in front, and the tip of the spear peeked out from there.

　The next attack is released in less than a tenth of a second.
　Several spears are shot straight at Serketo's head. The separate team, which came around to the left and right, changed direction at the same time as the shots and aimed at the main body.

　The simultaneous attack is also a necessary criterion to see how fast the acute arms can respond.
　The advantage of the armor-type AWRs is that they are able to devote one hand to gathering such information.

　Thanks to Garginis' capture of the tail, Serketo's range of movement is extremely limited.
　The only thing to note is the two pointed arms.

　With a single jerk, Garginis is dragged significantly.

　As he spreads his arms out, the lancet arms bounce back at the squad members from both sides. The lancets are roughly swept away and are dug into the abdomen of the squad members, making a dull sound. The two of them collided into the wall in a straight line, echoing a gruesome sound.

　A few spears released at the same time, and even that was knocked off as expected - it looked as if. In fact, if all of them were a single hard spear, they might have been snapped.
　However, a thin chain was extending from the butt end of the spear that each of them released. The source of the chain was naturally heading into a small fortress.

　The spear opened a gap in several joints and wrapped around Serketo's arm like a whip.

　At the base of the chain, the released surgeon had already executed the task of driving it hard into the ground like a stake. Then, without a pause, he composed the magic. It is the viscous soil that runs down the chain.
　The soil covers the surface of the chain without giving you any time to resist, and secures Serketo's wrapped upper arm in place.

　There's no way to strike if the pointed arm is rolled out that quickly, but by binding it with the chain, you can narrow its range of motion.

　As soon as the arms are entangled, a squad member carrying a large sword flies out of the side of the fortress this time.
　The two blown up members of the squad had returned to the fortress in their place.

　Of course, there is no need to cut them off from the base of their tails, as long as you can drop a sharp needle.
　The squad members who jumped out of the way went straight around the line of shields and carried the great sword on their shoulders, pouring all their magic power into it.

　The enormous amount of magic power was converted into an enormous amount of heat, and the sword blade of the great sword was dyed bright red. He swung down with the spirit of the cleaver to strike the great sword with white smoke from both sides.
　The great swords crossed as if executing an execution. From its momentum and magic, it was expected that the tip of the blade would bite into the ground stonelessly without any resistance.
