'Gruaaaaaah!

　A deafening yell fell from the sky.
　I hurriedly looked up at the sky, and there was a jet black dragon spreading its wings wide.

''Wah, wyvern...?''
No, it seems too big for that...?

　The people in the plaza also look up at the sky and have an uneasy expression on their faces.
　The reason they are still calm is probably because there are many knights here, so they don't think it's that dangerous if a demon appears.

''Leila........that was.......''
Uh, yeah it's not a wyvern, is it?

　That demon's presence that we are feeling is incomparable to the wyvern.
　If it is not good, it could rival Befi and the others.

　The closer it came to the ground, the more noisy the surroundings became.

''Oh, hey, hey.......''
'Wait a minute.......what the hell is that size.......?
What the f*ck is this?

　The vast square was shaded by the monster.
　It was so huge that the perspective was almost out of whack.

''Ah, that's........ba, ba, ba, bahamut oh!

　Someone shouted.

　A mythical grade demon, Bahamut.
　The one that appeared in the square during the king's speech was a jet black evil dragon that reached two hundred meters in length.

''Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

　The people screamed as if they had been dammed and fled at once.
　It turned into an a-hole of shoving and squeezing each other.

''Ze, all of you, take a stand!　Let's fight off the demons!
How did you get that monster?
I want to hear it!　But that's our role!　Show me your knightly pride!

　The knights are forming a desperate formation and are about to intercept the approaching giant dragon.

''Hey, hey........that, could it be crashing into the ground.......''
If that big one had just rammed into us....

　But I don't think they can handle the huge bodies that are falling like meteorites while they are just stunned in front of them.

"Leila, let's go!
Yeah!

　If we don't, there will be enormous damage.
　Me and Leila nodded to each other, then kicked the ground and flew up into the sky.

　The huge body approaching with tremendous force.
　Its power is still on par with Befi and her friends, or even more so.

''I'll take it!
Hey!

　Me and Leila join forces and use yellow magic.

''Metal Shield!!!''

　What emerged was a gigantic metal shield that was over a hundred meters wide and ten meters thick.
　Bahamut crashed into it without slowing down.


　Zuduo!


''~~~~~~~~~!''

　The sound of the explosion roared and me and Leila were blown away by the uncommon impact.
　We were knocked to the ground and a large crack appeared on the cobblestones.

''Leila-san!　Mr. Ark!

　I thought I heard Mr. Ceres scream.
　But we're safe.
　We don't have a soft workout to get beaten up like this.

'Grrrr........'

　When I looked up, I saw that Bahamut seemed to have suffered damage from the collision as well, and was dizzy and hovering in the air.
　He may have suffered a concussion from a head-on collision.

"'Divine Sky Slayer'.

　I quickly released a series of slashes while flying into the sky.
　I hit Bahamut's huge body one after another, but didn't cause much damage to its hard scales.

''Huh?''

　That's when I suddenly realized that there was a bigger wound in Bahamut's abdomen than I had just inflicted.
　There was a bigger wound on Bahamut's abdomen than I had just given him.

　By the looks of it, it gives the impression of a cut.
　And it's still fresh.

　Was this wound inflicted by some other demon?
　But what kind of demon would give Bahamut that many wounds?

　Or.........

Meteor Strike!

　While I was thinking about that, the meteorite that Leila had created with magic had collided with Bahamut's abdomen.

''Gruaaaah!''
It's not working very well!

　It was a powerful magic that had given Atlas a fatal wound, but it had only made Bahamut scream in agony at best.

　.........That guy's scales, maybe they were harder than Libby's.

''Huh?''

　Just then, a strong chill ran down my spine.
　Intuitively, I jumped away from the place.

　Ka-...

　The rays of light that were spat out of Bahamut's mouth scraped right past his side.

　--Doh-oh-oh!

　After a moment's delay, there was a tremendous explosion from behind.
　When I turned around, I saw that part of the outer wall of the castle had completely disappeared.

''Danger........''

　We would have been in trouble if we had taken a direct hit from that one.

　But the crisis has not gone away.
　I have a bad feeling again.
　Bahamut is about to unleash its next blow right away.

　Moreover, because of the change in position between me and him, his mouth was pointed towards the ground.

''Explosions!''
Huh?

　Kah--

　Just before he was about to release it, Bahamut's ray of light disappeared into the sky as the magic exploded under his chin.

'Leila, thank God!　We need to direct the attack upwards as much as possible!
Yeah!

　As the rays of light turned toward the sky, Leila and I flew above Bahamut's head.

　While releasing slashes and magic and evading the rays of light, we rose into the sky like a spiral with Bahamut pursuing us.

　Somehow this will prevent any damage to the ground........

''How are we going to defeat this guy?''

　It seems that the attack isn't working very well after all.
　There's still plenty of time to spare, but I didn't want to fight on and on.

"I have an idea!　Ark, buy yourself some time alone for a while!
'What?　Wait, Leila!

　Leila suddenly takes off.
　Bahamut seemed to be unsure of which one to prioritize for a moment, but his hate for me was winning out, and he just went after me.
