Seeing Magnus appear on the balcony of the top floor of the castle, the "Demonic Beast Maniac" (Beast Mania) was overtly upset.
　In the forest, the Chimera and Golem armies are still fighting, and I didn't expect Magnus to be the only one (although there's also an accompanying battle maid!) I guess I never dreamed it would come so soon.
　Yes, this Magnus guy is always, always, always a few steps ahead of his imagination and surprises those around him.
　That's what's really funny!

Well, go ahead and do it, Magnus. Do you have the general's head in here?

　I'm done fighting beastmaster witches on my own!
　Pass the baton!

Tilt-ha-un-del-e-len!

　And then Magnus casts a spell and fires the powerful Thunder IV.
　--And it's not just me.



　I screamed, half in surprise, half in protest.
　Quickly using the special ability that Barrak gave me, I divert the flow of Thunder IV in the wrong direction.
　We don't want any surprises!
　I'm not even funny!

Where are you aiming at, Magnus?
Of course, I'm aiming at the enemy overhead, Ellis.

　I protested fiercely while flying through the air with my wings, to which Magnus, standing on the balcony, replied with a cool look on his face.

"If you're going to be the enemy, you better aim right!
Yeah, they're going after you. "Yeah, she's after the evil b*tc* who's running away with the Demon Sea Lord's magic and the Jewel of the Skies.
Oh, shit.

　I'm a much higher priority to Magnus than "Beast Maniac".
　I should have known better.

Tilt-ha-un-del-e-rhen!
Just wait!　We're not ready for this one, so you need to add a little finesse or something!

　I protest furiously, but Magnus doesn't care.
　He fires a bunch of Thunder IVs at me.
　This is the kind of guy I'm talking about.
　He's a paragon of efficiency, without mercy or consideration.
　That's what makes him so interesting but he's not interesting when he's targeting me!

'Oh, yeah. I've got an idea...

　I chuckle as Magnus fires off Thunder IV in a fury, deflecting it all around.
　Right now I'm just trying to deflect it in the wrong direction so that I don't get a single shot....
　Even if it's the same deflection, why don't you use a more creative approach and point it at the Beast Maniac?

So what do you think?
Guaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

　I took control of the direction of Thunder IV directed at me and successfully hit the Beast Maniac.
　The destructive power of Series IV attacking magic backed by Magnus's ultra-high level of great magic power, the half-human, half-beast witch screams out a decent bite.

''Haha, this is interesting!''

　Magnus mercilessly fires Thunder IV without mercy, so I keep deflecting it towards Beast Mania and attacking it.
"Although Beast Maniac has wings, it doesn't seem to be mobile enough to avoid these blasts, so it hits you in an interesting way.
　And every time it hits, it screams and thrashes around.

　This is already a joint effort, right?
　It's no exaggeration to say that me and Magnus are an amazing combination!



　See, that's what Beast-maniacs say.

"d*mn you, Ellis Barlack!　"The whore who betrayed the grace of the Demon Sea Lord!　You are the most disgusting thing in the world!　You are harder to deal with than mankind, bats!

"Demon Beast Maniac (Beast Mania)" crashed down, screaming in defeat.
　Me and Magnus have won!

So, now that it's all settled, why don't we have a little chat, Magnus?
Tilt-ha-un-del-e-len!
"Get a grip!　I mean, can't you see yet that I'm useless, that I can't use my flying tools?
You're bluffing, Ellis Verlach.

　When I thought he finally interrupted his spell chanting and joined the conversation, Magnus gave a cold smile.

You know that special ability of yours that consumes MP for each use, right?　Hence, firing off a series of attack magic is not a waste of time.

　Those words made me cringe.
　Why?　Why!
　How does Magnus know about my special ability weaknesses?

The point is, either my MPs will run out first or you'll run out first, that's all. Yeah, I've got a ton of potions to restore MP, for your information.
Shh....

　I wasn't expecting this to happen, so I wasn't prepared for it at all....

　I have no choice but to leave this one quickly.
　I don't have any, but I want to make sure of this.

"I read that you were coming with a fire meter, and I took precautions against it. And you read my plan and came up with a plan to backfire. I was so sure of my plan, but was it really that easy for you to read?
I don't know. I don't know what you're talking about.
Don't play dumb with me!　If you tell me, I'll tell you all the things I know about 'Black Witches' deals' instead, okay?

　This can't be a bad deal for Magnus, either.
　That's why I suggested--

No need.

　Magnus refused flatly.
　He had a confident attitude, as if to say, "I know such things without asking.
　He had a mysterious smile on his face.

　In other words, it was a really cool "man's face".
　Oh, this guy is so funny!

You're a very nice guy. Okay, that's enough for now. I'll leave the room.

　Despite my feelings of hatred, I gave up any further negotiations, struck the air with my bat wings and flew away.
　While I still have some 'MP' left!
　Though I was wondering by the end why Magnus was able to prepare the back of the house!
