The change came in an instant.
　The moment Shtel's figure relative to Yamata wavered like a shimmering flame. The world closed in on itself in a fog.

　Yamata lost sight of Shtel.
　What Yamata's senses, which immediately switched to heat detection, captured were countless heat sources in the form of human beings.
　Ten, twenty, thirty.
　Yamata was confused by the sudden reaction that appeared.

　He tried to release the breaths to try them out, but he didn't feel a handful of them.
　The vanished humanoid resurrected elsewhere, and the wounded mist quickly covered the wound, and the world of darkness came again.

　The chaos accelerates.
　I felt a different will than Yamata at the source of the power that flowed through the earth's depths. It was the same as when he woke up. Someone was threatening the realm, or so he thought. The infinite power that had been flowing into his body was lost.
　It was an oversized frustration for Yamata.

　It's that moment when he was about to scream to get his red smeared emotions out.
　It wasn't Yamata's roar that broke the silence - it was an explosion of flame and shockwave.

　Something falling from the sky landed on Yamata's head.
　The bombs struck Yamata's head as if he could see through the fog.

　It was a pain that he knew. He didn't know where it was lurking, but it was probably from the winged insects that had been there before. So the attack from the sky would stop as soon as he waited.
　Yamata curled up into a small ball and tried to fortify his defenses to withstand the pain.

　But--.

"Elemental Enchantment.

　With such a voice, the pressure increased.
　The explosive flames converged, and one of the aimed heads was swallowed up by the enormous amount of heat and turned to ash.



　Along with his anger, Yamata shoots a breath into the sky. Pain runs through one of Yamata's necks as he looks up at the sky to search for his enemy through the fog he has shaken off.

'Tachibana-ryu katajutsu Okuden----Ouruka Shuokagezane!

　The demon sword flashed as the small sword tore through the flesh with magical power, chasing the shadow.
　With a light tail of darkness, Kensei's sword strike cut both sides of Yamata's neck.

　The moment his neck fell to the ground, his vision cleared at once.
　The dozens of heat sources he had felt had disappeared at the same time.

　Yamata, whose perceptions had begun to function normally, caught three enemy shadows.
　Kensei and Aisha were on the earth, and Shtel was standing in the sky.

　Kensei, who had cut off his head, was Yamata's closest prey. So Yamata extended his fangs toward Kensei, who was like a grain of rice.

　Kensei caught the approaching fangs with his night-colored robe and jumped up to kill the impact. I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to get it right, but I'm going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to get it right.

　But this is also seen as a bad struggle for Yamata.
　You can certainly kill them if you repeat it two or three times.
　That was true, but the execution was not possible.

　It was because he felt a heavy pressure from the sky.
　A threat that could never be ignored.
　The uncommonly heavy pressure stopped Yamata's pursuit.

''--The Four Dragons Invitation--''

　Escape or intercept?
　All of his nerves are directed at the small enemy standing above him.
　However, the situation was not going to be kind to Yamata.

"--Dragon Magic--

　Because there was more than one threat.
　Then, finally, Yamata realized.
　The enemy was not trying to attack, but to put a stop to it.
　They are trying to put a stop to it.

　Short term battle.
　That is the vision Aisha has in mind for the future.

　The key to success is coordination and timing.
　Aisha, who is in between, must switch her abilities while coordinating with her companions.

　Fortunately, Yamata doesn't seem to be alarmed by anyone but Shtel.
　Even with that Stel, Yamata would not feel threatened.

　The pride of a strong man, that was the opportunity to take advantage of.
　Just like the battle in the village of the elves, he borrowed the power of the Great Spirit of Water to cover the entire Fuji Great Mountain area with fog.
　At the same time, using the power of the Great Spirit to refine a water doll with the same body temperature as a person, he would cause confusion for Yamata.

''What's important is that we don't fight them head on.

　When Aisha said that, only Shtel was spilling out her ears and complaining.
　However, in a one-on-one match, no one is a match for Yamata without a doubt.
　The important thing was not to let Yamata's attack target be limited to a single point.

''In order to do that, I will first divide the party into two. One is Aisha and Kensei-san, and the other is Shtel and the flying dragon squad.

　If the flow of magical elements (mana) was cut off by the divine prayer technique, Yamata would surely be upset.
　Taking advantage of that opening, he would first unleash the first wave of bombing by the flying dragon squadron.

　To Aisha and Shtel, the fog created by the spirits is no different than a clear sky. They guide and attack beyond the signs the spirits tell them. Even if there is a slight gap, if Shtel guides them with the help of the wind spirits, they will not be dislodged.
　Once the attack is made, Yamata's attention will be directed to the sky.
　To ensure that, to make him believe that the threat was up in the sky, the second wave of bombardment would be focused on a single neck and increase the firepower through Shtel's attribute grant (elemental enchantment). The scorching power of the bombing delivers a fatal wound to Yamata's neck.

　As his consciousness heads upward, Kensei, guided by Aisha, becomes the new threat.
　In a split second, he slashes at Yamata. Aisha switches her power.
　Thanks to Kensei's enhanced effect of the skill (skill), the Dragon Priestess' investigation, Kensei became a clear threat, thanks to his masterful swordsmanship to slash Yamata's head off. It also allowed him to recognize that the perfect prey that was more easily accessible was right in front of Yamata.

''I'd like to ask the flying dragon squad to take a diversion and Kensei-san to take a decoy, will you do it?

　When Aisha asked that, both of them answered immediately.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most out of it," he said in a prepared voice, "especially Kensei, who will be the most dangerous part, but if he can help defeat the monster, he'll be happy to be used up.

　The moment Kensei's consciousness is split and the attack on the sky slows down. The moment the attack in the sky slows down, Shtel releases his full strength.
　You can hunt for the four heads, said Shtel's attack.
　There is no way he can choose to continue aiming at Kensei.

　I won't let him aim.

　We don't give him room to spare.

　Constantly change the situation and put a stop to it in one breath.

　Determining the moment Kensei's consciousness is removed from him, Aisha releases the power she has been using to assist him.
　At the same time, with the momentum of using all of her remaining power, she concocts her magic power.

　This was the best Aisha could do right now.
　It was an all-out attack.

　The sky distorted as it undulated due to the enormous outflow of magical power.
　The clouds cleared as if they were fearing and fighting, and the light of the twin moons shone through.

　Four spears as huge as Yamata's huge body are on a par with him. They danced and danced as if to crown Shtel.
　The four dragons intertwined with the call of Shtel.
　Earth, water, fire, wind, and different lights rise to the sky.

　The fists are clenched as if grasping the void, and with a sudden descent, Shtel unleashes his maximum attack.

''--Dragon technique--Dragon spear, four strikes in a row, yon rengeki, yon rengeki, yon rengeki, yon rengeki, yon rengeki, yon rengeki, yon rengeki, yon rengeki!

　The overlapping roar.
　Scattered pieces of meat.
　Shtel's attack, which precisely strikes the weakest attribute, crushes Yamata's neck to pieces.

　The ground is gouged out, the air is distorted, and it's a horrible scene where you can't see an inch ahead.
　But even so, the attack doesn't stop.

''--The Ice Dragon that lives forever (Eternal Freeze).

　The neck, which Shtel does not have a weakness in, is Aisha's prey.
　Ice and snow rushed through and withered the grass and trees.
　The ice pillars rose wildly to push up the earth, and the dragon swallowed two heads, silencing all eight of them.
