The enemy was a horde of 20,000 demons.
　Against them is a mixed unit of about 200 adventurers and knights.

　About 300 volunteer civilians have also gathered there, but....
　They are a last resort and basically have no intention of putting them in the line of fire.

　There's no such thing as a ploy against a horde of 20,000.
　We need a minimum number of them to make the plan work.
　The current strength gap is too large, and no matter what strategy we use, we will be overwhelmed by numbers.

　Therefore, we decided to keep it simple.
　A siege battle.
　Using the city's gates as a shield, we would intercept the demons from an advantageous position.
　Fortunately, or should I say, the opponent doesn't have much intelligence.
　They just charge in and there's no way they're going to sneak in and unlock the gates.

　They could hold out for half a day.
　In the meantime, if Rain, or even help from another city, could come to help, they could make it.

　Stella had thought of it that way.
　However, it had to be called a naive idea.

''d*mn........these guys, one after another...!
Hey! Don't let up!
I know, I know, I know, but...!

　The adventurers and knights at the front line intercepted one demon after another that attacked them without interruption, but....
　Fatigue was beginning to set in.
　He'd been wielding his weapon for an hour without a break.
　It was strange not to be able to handle it.

　We tried to take turns for the first ten minutes, but...
　The area attacked by the swarm of demons is getting wider and wider, and we need everyone, including replacements, to deal with it in time.

　We all need to take care of this...
　I'm still in need of help...
　He kept moving at 120% of his strength.
　Naturally, he would run out of energy.
　I kept wielding my weapon with energy and a sense of mission to protect the city, but that was nearing its limit.
　As soon as I saw it, my movements became slower and slower.

　And the same goes for the wizards in the rear.
　They have been using magic to strengthen the gate for a long time.
　It's not surprising that their magic power might be exhausted at any moment.

It's true, things got pretty dangerous in about an hour...

　Kanade's face stiffened slightly.

'We can't let this go on.'
Well, that means...

　Agreeing with Rifa's words, Tania looked at Stella.

'We'll be there. In the meantime, if anyone is injured or needs a break, let them back off. I'm sure we can buy you that much time.
...I'm going to have to rely on you guys again, aren't I?

　Stella said in frustration.
　She must be frustrated that she is a knight defending the city, but her strength is not enough.

　Tania laughed at Stella like that.

''What are you talking about?''
Ouch.

　Tania decoupins Stella.....
　Then Kanade and Tina on top of his head laugh too.

'We want to protect this city too. We don't have to worry about being weird like that.'
I know. It's our town. It's our job to protect it.
Thank you.
Meow.

　Kanade did some light preparatory work to relax her body.
　Then she put her hands on the ground and did her feet back.
　He lowers his body and builds up strength in his lower body.

'Ikidai-sai, assault cat!
'Unyaah!
Oh, no!

　Kanade ran.
　The ground gouged out as if it had exploded and Tina was swept off the ground by the sudden acceleration.

　Without a care, Kanade runs through................and leaps in front of the gate.
　In one fell swoop, she soars into the sky and jumps over the gate.

'Even with this.....at least!

　He spun his body around in the air and fell like a meteorite as it was.
　Gong!　A roar sounded, and a dozen or so demons were blown together.

''Come together!''

　The demons attacked all at once as I hit them with provocative words.
　From the front, from the back, from the right, from the left, from the top.......
　A wave of demons loomed over them as if they were enveloping them from all directions.

　But Kanade didn't panic and dealt with it calmly.
　One hit kill.
　Defeat all the demons in one hit to maximize the effect with the least amount of effort.
　One after another, the demons are blown away and their bodies turn into magical stones.

　Even so, the remaining demons are too numerous to count...

Let's go, Tina!
Oh!

　Tania flew through the air with her wings sprouting from her back and Tina on her head.
　Tania blasted her prized fireball from above.
　There are demons everywhere.
　There's no need to aim at them.
　Anyway, numbers are important right now, and I fired in rapid succession.

''A must-attack, the great rotating magic ball!

　Above Tania's head, Tina was throwing a light ball concocted with magical power.
　It struck the flying demons in the sky and shot them down one after another.
　By what mechanism, even if the demons tried to avoid it by turning sharply, the light balls had a sharp curve and penetrated the bodies of the demons as if they were automatically tracking them.

　Kanade, Tania, and Tina joined the battle lines.
　With the trump card thrown in, the demon's marching speed slowed down.

''As expected.''

　Seeing the three of them in action, Rifa was a little surprised.
　Even if they were the strongest species, their strength was a bit of a stretch.
　Basically, they're definitely stronger than normal people, but........
　It would be hard to find the strongest species that can be so active.

　Kanade may have a power comparable to the strongest cat spirit race, the Demon of Smiles, which is rumored to be the most powerful cat spirit race of all time.
　Tania might have power comparable to the strongest dragon race that is rumored to be the 'demon god-like infant'.
　

　
　He jumped down from the top of the gate and landed in the middle of the battle line.
　Soon the demons were rushing in........

Sweet.

　Rifa transformed its body into countless bats and scattered in all directions.
　The bats used their bodies as arrows to fly around at super speed.
　The demons that touched them were punctured or blown away by holes in their bodies...
　One by one, they are dying out.

"Summoning My Family.

　The bats rallied, and the figure of Rifa appeared above the gate.
　That rifa's shadow swelled up with a buzzing...
　In one fell swoop, two jet-black wolves appeared from within.
　They were so huge that it was hard to believe they had emerged from Rifa's shadow, so big that they could reach five meters.

''Go on.''

　At Rifa's signal, the black wolf ran.
　It leapt high and landed with a resounding thud of the earth.
　At the same time, it swung its powerful arms like a log, or a row of fangs devoured it...
　He kicked about ten demons together and kicked them away.

　The other one landed supplely and jumped up to the highest speed at once, running through the crowd of demons in all directions.
　Due to its huge body and mass, it could become a deadly weapon simply by running.
　The demons were bounced off, trampled down.....
　There are screams of dismay from all over the place.

'I'm going with you,'

　Rifa bit her finger.
　Blood trickled down...
　It floated up softly, as if defying gravity.
　

　The clots of blood, reduced to millimeters, drifted around Rifa by dozens.......enough to reach a hundred.
　Rifa raised her hand.

''Drill.''

　As soon as he waved his hand down, clots of blood rained down on him.
　Like a sideways rain during a storm.
　The clots of blood pierced through the swarm of demons and exterminated them.

　And once more, Rifa bit her fingers with her sharp, extended canine teeth.
　More blood flowed than before.
　However, it does not fall to the ground, but gathers in the air again.

　This time, they converged in Rifa's hands........
　Eventually, it becomes a large scythe as tall as Rifa's height.

'Bloodsize I'm going.

　Rifa jumped and....
　He swung his blood scythe and reaped the battlefield.
