The calm before the storm settles around them, and each of the opponents begin to move.
　The first one, Anima, accelerates and closes in on Eta and Theta, who were divided to the left and right, and Theta, who had a large shield nearby.

　Anima has a combat power comparable to that of a Viscount-level high-ranking demon race, and although she's currently quite fatigued because she's been running tirelessly, she still has a head start in this group.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to do with it.

　Anima slams her fist into the shield held up like a wall in front of her without hesitation.
　It's not just a matter of time before you get to the point where you'll be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for.

''Anima!''
...that was....

　Kaijin called out his name in a panicked voice, but Anima was on her knees and had a doubtful expression on her face.

''........How does it feel to have eaten your own attack?''
Your attack, you say?
'Yes, my shield will return the same impact to my opponent as it received.


　Theta was good at defensive magic and defensive magic, and her main method of attack was counter.
　For Anima, who mainly uses close-range physical attacks, she was truly the worst enemy of all.

''........You are indeed strong. I think your offensive and defensive abilities are far superior to mine. My attacks may not be able to do any damage. But unless it's your own attack........
....
Do you think you can just get around quickly and go through the shields?
Huh?
It's no use. You're slow, I'm faster than you and there's no way to get around you. And by all appearances, you don't seem to be very good at magic you have no way of getting through my defenses.
....

　While Sita speaks indifferently with a spare expression, Anima's face falls slightly while kneeling down.
　I understood the desperate situation........Contrary to Sita's thoughts, Anima's mouth had a vicious smile on it.

''Fufu........haha, hahaha!
What?

　Anima gets up laughing and slams her fist into Theta's large shield without any hesitation at all.
　Naturally, that same impact is returned and damaged, but Anima shakes her fist further without seeming to care a shred.

'Going around?　Is it possible to slip through the cracks?　That's impossible!
'What?　.... fool?　No matter how much you attack, it's useless. The strength of my shield is....
I don't care!
Ugh, uh...

　The impact of the fists swung continuously pushed Theta backwards.

'Hate to say, I don't know how to fight other than assault crushing!
'Ah!'
'Return the same shock as it was received?　So I guess that means they're not disabling it!　Then we'll just hammer it in until it shatters!

　The fist that Anima swings is slammed deeper and heavier with each blow, gaining more power with each one.
　The impact was so great that the shield finally began to scream and small cracks began to appear.
　The returned impact also accumulated, and blood was flowing from Anima's mouth.......but instead of loosening up, the attacker's hands become more and more caustic.

'What the hell, this guy.......is too stupid.
Oh, oh!
What?

　Anima roars like a fierce beast, and the heaviest, sharpest fist ever slammed into her... finally the great shield shatters.
　While Sita's eyes widen in astonishment, Anima reaches out her hand without stopping at all and grabs Sita's chest.


Gaaaah!
What?　Huh!

　As it is, Anima lightly lifts Theta with one hand and slams her to the ground.
　With the tremendous impact she feels from her back, Theta has an expression of anguish on her face, and then her expression gradually turns into one of fear.

''.........Ah, ah.......''

　Sharp eyes looking down at him. The moment he saw them, Sita understood completely.
　

　It was exactly the despair she had been trying to inflict on Anima earlier.
　There was no longer any way to escape. What's in front of her is a predator, and she's just prey... The moment she realized that with fear, the ferocious beast swung its fist down.
























''d*mn it!　A little trickle!

　At the same time as the battle between Anima and Theta, Eta and Sieglinde were also engaged in a fierce battle.
　Contrary to the combination of Anima and Theta, it was Eta who overwhelmingly surpassed them in terms of physical ability, and the powerful attacks released from the large spear were so powerful that they could render Sieglinde unable to fight with a single blow.
　However, that powerful attack........not a single shot has yet reached Sieglinde.

''A different person from the first attack, you, you've been hiding your power!
I wasn't hiding it. It was lost.

　Sieglinde quietly announces while catching the large spear wielded in a sideways lull with her twin swords held at an angle upwards.

''Lili I didn't tell my friends, but my body was rather battered.
Huh?
As they say, it's just as they say.......no, it's even more effective than they say. My whole body has really been completely healed and thanks to that, I'm in my prime now, or even better. It's nice to know that my body works just as I imagined it in my head.
Don't you dare!

　The fast thrusts released in frustration were easily swept away and deflected to Sieglinde's left.
　It had been a repetition of this for a while now.
　Thrusts, cleaves, and swings.......Eta unleashes various attacks, but Sieglinde passes them all off.

''Why!　Why didn't you hit me?　I have far more power and speed than...
But it's not very good.
What?
You're certainly much more physically gifted than I am. But you are conceited in your talent and have a poorly honed attack. With that skill, your blade can't reach my body!
Huh?

　Yes, the current situation was due to that one point.
　Although Eta is overwhelmingly superior in terms of physical ability, Sieglinde is far superior in terms of skill.
　It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to find a way to get the right one.

The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that you have a great deal of skill. But you can't defeat me by simply shrugging it off. In the first place, your attacks could not have done any damage to me...
Ten and eight it's about time.
What?

　I'm sure you'll find that Sieglinde's skills are far superior to yours.
　It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
　It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

''Huh?　Bah, that's ridiculous!

　


It's a nice spear, ten on top of each other, and it just barely broke?
What have you done, I ask you!
"...ever since I realized how helpless I was, I had sealed away the magic I was most skilled at in order to study.
...What are you good at, magic?

　Sieglinde tells Eta, who completely loses her composure and shouts, only calmly.
　Yes, Sieglinde used to dare not to fight the way she was best at since the incident where the Second Division was attacked.......to become stronger.
　But now, the situation was a situation where the safety of someone dear to her was at stake, and she used it without sparing it.

''The magic I am most skilled at is 'granting magic'.......Every time I pass off an attack, your spear is given a jutsu that will shock it, and I have now activated it.
''.........?　Shit!
'....If you see that you're outnumbered, you retreat once you see that you're outnumbered...It's basic, but it's basic, and that's why I should have thought you were being read.
What?

　Seeing the situation as a disadvantage, Eta quickly leapt backwards and tried to get away from Sieglinde.
　But Sieglinde seemed to have read it and threw one of his twin swords at the fleeing Eta.

''The acceleration technique granted is eightfold....Activate!
What?

　The flaming sword left Sieglinde's hand and rapidly accelerated in the air, turning into a red flash that pierced Eta.

''I missed the kryptonite.......with your strength, it won't kill you.

　After muttering that, Sieg took a swing of his other flame sword and extinguished the flames that had replaced the blade.
　



























　To be honest, I could hardly see what happened.......but when I saw Eta falling to the ground and Theta slumped on the ground, I could clearly see only that Sieg-san and Anima had won.

''I mean!　Anima, stop!　Stop him already!

　I hurriedly stop Anima, who was about to continue slamming her fist into Sita, who has already let go of her consciousness completely, in a hurry.
　As for Sita, she's really already in a state of unseeing.......huh?　Is he alive?

　Anima stops her fist following my instructions and walks up to me with Zeke... and takes a stance again.
　
　After all, even though Eta and Sita were beaten, they didn't seem to be meddling at all, but....

''Oh dear, I watched in silence as Master Bacchus insisted on experience for the lowly man, but how pathetic it was.

　The blue-haired man, who had been silent all this time, turns his sharp gaze towards me after muttering as if he were spitting.

''To tarnish the name of the Warlord-sama.......it can't be helped. Shall I wipe up the fool's ass........

　Saying that, the blue-haired man takes a step forward, looks around at us slowly, and then opens his mouth.

''My name is Sigma the 'Baronial High Rank Demon Clan'.
" " "?

　I had expected it, but when I heard the words "baronet-level high-ranking demon race", I was shocked.
　
　It's not that Eta and Theta weren't weak by any means, either, and even though they were quickly settled, I don't think they're in a very good shape.

　It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

The first thing that comes to mind is to take down those fools lying around, don't feel good about it, okay?　They're lowlifes they're not even close to me...
....
Well then we are off!
Wait a minute!　That's it!
...What?

　
　As if led by that voice, I move my gaze to a nearby building........

'The heavens call!　The earth calls!　People are calling!　Protect your regulars, call me!　Touche!
....

　The strange object that jumps off the roof and lands in front of us looks very familiar.

'Messenger of love and justice!　The beautiful, mysterious helper!　Magical Lovely Magical Girl!　Alice, come on!
....

　Bish, a stuffed cat in a pose....I only know of one such bizarre guy.
　This is, well, what do you call it....

...for a change.
There's no change or anything like that!　No returns!　No cooling off!

　........He is a tremendous villain.

　Dear Mom, Dad--Zeke and Anima have successfully defeated Eta and Theta, but that's where even more baronet-level high-ranking demons turned on their fangs.
