254 Invasion of Nonoichi City ⑦




 The invaders in front of me consist of eight vanguards and four rearguards.

 

'Takahar, I'll take care of that thing.'

 I point to the leader of the group and instruct Takahar.

''Oh! You're going to give me that guy? Nice.

 Takahar snaps his fingers happily.

'Huh? What about me? What about me?

 Setanta jumps up and down like a spoiled child.

'Setanta ... aim at that thing when I give the signal.

 I point to one of the rearguard and reply.

 --Sablow, on my signal, jump out with me.

 Then I telepathically give instructions to Saburo as well.

''Lina, Kotetsu and Blue, take care of the vanguard, while protecting Sarah and canon!

 --Let's go! Takhar! Bark!

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!

 Takahar raises a roar that shakes the atmosphere around him......and transforms himself into the Beast King.

 --Cetanta, Saburou, now!

 While the invaders cowered at Takahar's roar, me, Setanta and Saburou rushed at once towards the rear guard of humanity.

 --The Bastard Slayer!

 I swing the breunach in my hand with all my strength down to the woman in front of me.

''........eh.''

 The woman who received a blow from Breunak accompanied by a shockwave is blown backwards.

 

''You bastard!

 One of the invaders, who unexpectedly took the form of taking my back, swung his weapon at me.

 --The Great Wheel!

 I spin on the spot on my axis and blow the humanity around me together.

''Si, Sion-sama you are in danger!

 Sablow, who was just out of range of the last-minute attack, screams in protest under the great wind pressure.

'Sabraw! You're going to be a thorn in the side of that thing!

 I ignore Sablow's protests and turn my gaze to the woman in the rearguard who I failed to toss earlier.

''Yes! I shall be a gust of wind that blows through all of it! --Fast Thrust!

 Saburou closed the distance between him and the fallen woman with a momentary swiftness that left an afterimage, and stabbed her in the left chest.

 -- 《One Flash Thrust》!

 At the same time I gave a quick stab at the man with the bow in his hand that Sabraw was attacking.

 Now there are only two rear guards left.

''Hey, what the hell.......why are there these monsters here.......''

 One of the remaining rearguard is fuming, unable to accept the sudden death of his companion.

 The other rearguard is--.

Well I'm the last one.

 Cetanta tossed the healer woman in front of her, puffing out her cheeks as she was frustrated that me and Saburou had beaten her to it.

'Well, now for the next one...'

 Setanta, who had topped off the healer woman, turned his innocent smile to one of the remaining rearguard who was going mad.

'Setanta, wait.'
Okay.

 I stop Setanta, who is about to jump out at any moment.

 --Dark Induction!

 The black haze released from my hand drives the insane man even crazier.

'Setanta, Saburo. They'll be the next ones to get me.

 I turned my gaze to the vanguard of humanity, who were engaged in battle with Lina, Kotetsu and Blue.

 Ten minutes later.

'.........what the hell.......the strength of these guys......it's foul......'
"Whoa! Dead.....dead....all dead....

 The leader of the battle with Takahar fell to the ground, leaving only the mad man in his place.

'Hey,'
'Ahaha ... dead ... all dead ...'

 I wanted to talk to this guy, but is he busted?

 What should we do? And you're wondering...

 --poof!

Will I ever come to my senses?

 The low-powered blob of water released by the canon drenched the crazy man.

'Hey,'
Hee hee....

 The man regains his senses, albeit somewhat, probably because of the water released by the canon.

'Do you want to live?'

 I address the frightened man.

'....hee hee...'

 But the man's response only made him back off.

''Master Theon, it seems better to ask 'Dead or Alive' in a low voice here--''

 --Firelance!

"--! Why, why...?

 I fired a spear of fire at Sablow, who blathered in my ear.

Is this what you want?

 He pointed to a nice charred subrow and asked the man again.

 Then the man shook his head repeatedly at high speed.

'Rejoice. You will be brought back alive. However, when you return, you have to deliver a message to your friends in Toyama Prefecture.
So, message.
I'm always open to invaders who are highly experienced! Come on! You can come back as often as you want! Every time that happens, you guys are our bread and butter.
Hee hee hee.
Got it? If you make good on your promise, I promise I won't mess with you as you retreat. So, when you return, you'll tell your people every word I say without missing a beat.
Ha ha ha yi.
All right then ... go away!
Yes!

 With a final kill shot, the man ran away like a de-rabbit.

 Maybe ... that's it. If I tell them not to come underhandedly or something like that, the enemy will be happy to see us. Then, on the contrary, after showing our absolute strength........come! If I tell them that, they will be intimidated.

 In the first place, invading my territory was not a high priority for them, from the point of view of the people of Toyama Prefecture.

"Well, let's go clean up the other group of invaders.

 When the disappearing man's back was out of sight, I headed with my men to the other set of invaders.

 Three hours later.

 The other group of invaders was also eradicated, leaving one person behind. I gave the survivors the same message as before.

 This would stop the human invasion from Toyama Prefecture for a while.

 I returned to my room and prepared for tomorrow.
