'One more meatball. It's just the guy on top that's gruesome enough. It's no fun if the seeds split.

　Snapping her wrist as if she was toying with it, she shook the umbrella and fixed her arm at a position slightly below her eye line, and suddenly Fanon lowered the corner of her mouth that she had lifted.
　He meditated with one eye and pointed the tip of the umbrella at the head of the 【Starving Monkey Demon《Shava】 as if to aim, a small discharge surrounded the umbrella with a bang.

''A single streak of young lightning (Rybolt).''

　The thin lightning, which is a medium-grade magic, is released as a flash of lightning and runs straight to the [Hungry Monkeys] as if snaking through the air.
　Fanon is unable to handle the so-called offensive magic with satisfaction. Therefore, it is true that he specializes in defensive barriers. Basically, he can handle systemic magic in an all-or-nothing way, but his reliance on AWR is also incomparably high compared to other mages.

　That's why it's not easy for Fanon to even construct a composition of low-level magic, even if it's a joke for a single mage.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what to expect.

　I'm sure at first glance, that level of magic is useless against the "Hungry Monkeys". The [Fire Wheel 《Flare Circle》] is a much more powerful magic.

　Exeles began inwardly and was in a cold sweat.
　Maybe it was a bad habit, but she would occasionally take a detour before taking care of it. Although Exeles feels that it's a detour, it's also a bit tricky because according to Fanon, it's not.

　That's why Exeles always mentally guides Fanon when dealing with strong demons.
　Playfully or not, Fanon rarely uses normal magic to test it out. Sometimes it works effectively, but I wonder if it's because it's Exeles that she still feels it's a futile move.


　And this time too, as she expected, the 【Single Stream of Young Thunder (Rybolt)】, which shouldn't even be able to inflict damage, changes direction in front of 【Starving Monkey Demon 《Shava》's eyes and loses its directionality like a rampaging madman.
　Then, before you know it, a barrier wrapped around the huge body as well as surrounding the "Monkey King". A square-shaped translucent wall was created, and lightning strikes bounded through it.

　While Fanon has virtually no aptitude for offensive magic, it can combine the properties of all systems when it comes to barriers. That's why I could see the electricity building up in the barrier that I had trapped.

　As a low level, he would release magic and have it grant systemic magic power after releasing it. In a few seconds, this would encompass the amount of magic power from the upper level to the highest level.
　As long as it's trapped by a barrier, it's the method with the least amount of demon body fluids splashing around as a battle method.

　It's not that I'm underestimating it. Of course, it doesn't mean that I'm giving it my all.
　If you call it a tactic, you can't argue with it.

　Anxiety pushed him back and Exeles couldn't help but say, "Fanon-sama! He shouted aloud.
　That's because the 【Starving Monkey Demon 《Shava》 waved its arms towards the 【Single Stream of Young Lightning (Rybolt)】 as if to smash the flies flying around inside the box.

　It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on it.

You'll see. It's a two-step stance, so with one shot--!

　A moment later, Fanon's eyes widened. A barrier was created right next to his face, and a fist was struck on top of it as if it had been received by a female squad member.
　The position of the barrier was so close that a single finger could be placed between his face.

　After a delay, the electric shock that had accumulated inside the box that had accumulated electricity, as well as the [Hungry Monkey Demon 《Shava》, exploded inside the box that had accumulated electricity. A momentary roar of lightning shook the air and white smoke filled the box. Immediately after the enemy's entire body was hidden, the second blow in succession struck Fanon.

　However, the second attack, which had no time to rest, was from behind, aiming at the back of Fanon's head.

"--Kuh?

　It was instantly understandable from Fanon's impatience that he was able to prevent it in time.

　And even if Exeles noticed it, it would be too late before he could call attention to it.

　This time too, Fanon, who turned his head slightly and caught it out of the corner of his eye, had succeeded in splitting the barrier in the nick of time. However, it's clear how last-minute the defense was.
　It is barely possible to deploy a barrier of a size that can prevent a giant arm from almost touching or not touching the distance. It was a series of blows that didn't even allow for a breath of air.

　A small bead of sweat was floating on Fanon's forehead. In the current moment, Fanon was forced to abandon the emotion of underestimating and looking down on [Starving Monkey Demon 《Shava》.
　His mouth and expression didn't even allow him to express his emotions.

　A cooing and thin cry of bitterness leaked out of Fanon's mouth because he was trapped into an inferior position in an instant.
　Even if you are a specialist in defensive magic, it is extremely difficult to prevent an attack that is nearly invisible if it is released from close range, even if you are a defensive magic specialist, Fanon.


　It may be the first time Exeles has seen the dismay of a single mage who puts his absolute trust in him and his unwavering victory.

　The magic that Fanon had set up certainly shot at [Starving Monkey Demon《Shava》]. The two-step stance she was talking about seemed to have ended up being unsuccessful because she was faced with the opponent's offensive before she could activate it.
　But.........and Exeles bit her back teeth and made a bitter face.

(No way, I didn't expect her to resign herself to being attacked and come directly at Fanon-sama.)

　Demons often launch suicide attacks without regard for themselves. It is said that this is because they have a high self-healing ability - the ability to repair themselves. Other individuals take evasive action depending on their intelligence and the original base of their bodies.
　If you only look at the series of results, the demons just fought back.

　But--.

(They have definitely shaken us up and caught us off guard.)

　The [Hungry Monkey Demon 《Shava》 should have waved his arm to shake off the electric blasts that surrounded him. However, the target of the arm that he waved while making it seem so had shifted to Fanon.
　It was clearly due to tactics.

　Probably, Exeles' thought should have come to Fanon as well.

　The barrier that surrounded the [Starving Monkey Demon 《Shava》 disappeared, and the white smoke inside overflowed as if it had been released from a confined cage. It's a good thing that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about it.

''It's really weird.''

　The surpassed Fanon stepped out and poisoned so while regaining his posture.
　The war prevention that happened in the blink of an eye was enough to make sweat drip down Fanon's temples. With a grim look in his eyes, Fanon grips the umbrella with all his strength.

　Was it because of the reverse scale, or was it because of the unexpected counterattack, or was it because she hadn't expected it? Either way, her thin arms were filled with a force that reflected her emotions.

'I was a little caught off guard, but that's okay. I've already got my timing. I won't eat the same hand, and I'll end it without a moment's regret for holding back.

　It's not bravado. It's not that Fanon has been defending his position as a single mage for years with defensive magic alone. Although Jean Rumbles is loudly praised for his combat sense, Fanon is also high enough to be comparable.
　It can even be said that he is outstanding in his ability to respond.
　She is not an apparent ornamental presence, but has the ability to be recognized by everyone.

　How many times have I witnessed her natural disposition in plain sight?
　Fanon's words can be believed without a doubt.

　At that time, a single bodos escaped from the place where the troops who had been hit by the [Hungry Monkey Demon《Shava》]-hit were missing. Although the number was reduced considerably, the range that had to be dealt with was wider. This meant that the Bodos had oddly enough space to move around.

　As if he couldn't cover it, the bodos that slipped out rushed straight to Fanon in a big gait. The dark green halberd in his hand is an ugly shape that lacks any formative beauty. It looked like a child's clay work.
　However, even so, Bodos still possessed enough sharpness and arm strength to kill and wound.

　The movement of leaping recklessly and swinging the halberd was somehow reminiscent of a human movement.
　One and yet one. It's not a good idea to let Fanon do the extra work now.

　Exeles tried to move, but the figure of a squad member who was supposed to be the first to chase after him stopped in the middle.
　That's when Exeles also reconsidered and pulled back the foot that he stepped out of as a sign that he would not do anything unnecessary.

　Without taking a bodos or any other teeth, Fanon thrust out his umbrella and stabbed his petite body in one fluid motion. A spike formed by magic extended from the tip and easily pierced through the air.
　It could be said that it stabbed me from the other side on its own.

　In any case, it is still a demon that is alive. The ugly demon that rampages through the air with a sting as if it were sewn up in the air. The way it spreads its body fluids around would be disgusting.
　Fanon slowly lowered Bodos to follow his own weight. And when Bodos's feet are about to touch the ground, Bodos's body suddenly pops up with a bang.

　All the while, Fanon's gaze remained gazing at [Starving Monkey Demon, Shava] the entire time.

　And this time, too, as soon as the bodos popped, a giant arm suddenly extends from the very edge of Fanon's visual range, distorting the space.
　Perhaps because he had sharpened his consciousness and was paying attention, Fanon deployed a hexagonal objective barrier as he tilted his attention slightly. It was just barely defensive, just like before.
　But he did it consciously. In other words, even if it looks like it was in the nick of time, it's also proof that Fanon's reaction speed and magic composition speed exceeded it.

　[Starving Monkey Demon 《Shava》] drew his arm and looked at the clenched fist in some kind of wonder.


　On the other hand, the popped pieces of meat and body fluids were able to protect Exeles as well due to Fanon's barrier, but the other members of the squad had to be covered by them as well.

　The magic manipulation can prevent body fluids from coming into direct contact with them, but that's not the case with only pieces of meat. I'm sure you'll be able to find some cute people in this unit who will cringe at a little piece of meat.

　Suddenly, Fanon's gaze narrows and coldly focuses on the target to be defeated.
　It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them.

　Of course, that can be said for Fanon's body as well. Dark colored magic power was overflowing at a high density, exuding a different dimension of magic power that enveloped even AWR.
　Every time I see this, every time I feel it, I'm reminded that it's a unique existence that can never be replaced by a single magician. This is a realm that a double-digit magician can't reach, even if he or she makes a desperate effort.
　It's a bit of a front, but it seems to me that Fanon would not be able to compete with a lower-level single mage or any other type of magician for that matter.


　A crazy light was flooding out of the magic formula, as if it was processing the composition of the magic from the umbrella-type AWR at high speed. The strong light that seems to envelop the umbrella rises up like a monstrous vapor, just like water vapor.

　At least the first blow - a bad habit - was over. Then it was definitely Fanon's sole domain from here on out.
　Exeles reflexively takes a few steps back and takes a distance.

''Fanon-sama, please do your best. Please don't break it too much. I don't want to be flattened.''
I'm fine. I don't need the Three Vessels of Contradiction for now.

　If the demon is ready to shoot a counter with damage, you can just let it die with that damage.
　Even if it's an unthinkable demon's tactic under normal circumstances, now that we know, we just need to be wary.

　The [Hungry Monkey Demon [Shava]] who is eerily peering at us.
　The magic power that distorts space from the shoulders to the back and space is being released, eerie, but.......without regard to that, Fanon lethargically twisted his mouth and emitted.

　To see the way out?　A silence that can only be established when the maximum amount of caution against the enemy is united on both sides.
　As if to say that reading each other is unnecessary, Fanon was the first to issue a hunting signal. Enormous and immense, all the magic power that had been unleashed blindly until now was sucked into the umbrella-type AWR at once.
