After hearing from Akira, Night and Amelia ran around the city.
It was to carry the elderly people who were having difficulty evacuating on their own with Night.
Even the elderly who were reluctant at first when they saw Night's appearance did not want to die, but after they could see the demons rampaging even from here, they reluctantly but honestly tried to ride on Night's back.


''Miss Amelia, hurry up and evacuate!


With the last one on board, Night tried to put Amelia on her back with her tail, but Amelia shook her head to avoid it.


'The people from here on out haven't been able to evacuate yet. Besides, the adventurers haven't even arrived yet, so someone needs to stay here and hold them off.


The demons were coming almost right up to the side.
The night was lost.
If he left Amelia now, if something happened to her, he would have no way to contact her and no way to find out where she was.
It would be a situation that Akira feared the most.


''Go now!''


When I came to myself in a huff, the demon was right there.
It's a weakness that the silver-ranked Amelia can't imagine being hit.
However, an unspeakable uneasiness crept through my chest.


''...I'll be right back.''


The night kicked at the ground, remembering the many lives at his back.
These hands are too dirty to save lives now, but still, it's not going to take any more casualties.


'Maybe we'd rather have to chase after this one.


Amelia pointed her hand at the demons coming towards us.


'Gravity.


Amelia's hair flew up with the magic released.
On her chest, the silver dog tag was shaking in battle after a long time.







''Now, a great fire that burns everything into my hands! ...hands of fire.


Cena chanted, while I attracted the demon stand, and then I pulled away when the chanting was over.
The magic is complete, and a huge hand of fire reaches out from the hand Senna held out, burning the demons in a straight line.

Even so, the demons still gather to fill the hole.
It had been nearly an hour since they began fighting on the front lines, but the number of demons had not diminished.
Just as Yamato and the others had said in the Adventurer's Guild, the demons in the Brute Labyrinth had varying weaknesses, so coordination was essential.
Even so, the reason for this kind of party formation was probably due to the characteristics of the beast race.

The beast race has the blood of beasts in it.
Well, that's something everyone could understand.
The question is, does that beast blood affect their personalities in any way?
Violent beast beastmen are angry and quarrelsome.
Gentle beast beastmen are always calm and do not like to fight.
The powerful beastmen are also very powerful.
In other words, beast beastmen who live individually are not suitable for group action.

This is probably why the party formation was so reliant on adventurers.


''Akira, can you hold the front line for a few minutes?''


When I turned back at the sound of Senna's voice, which I couldn't afford, I saw that Senna was carrying two adventurers who were fighting on the front lines.
Both of them were breathing bugs, and if they had been a little slower to back off, they would have died.

I nodded and borrowed a dagger from that adventurer.

Just as I turned around, the dagger I had borrowed from the guild that had been cutting through numerous demons had shattered into pieces.
The dagger that the adventurer was holding didn't show any signs of abating, so I was curious to see if I could take advantage of this opportunity.

I shook it a little bit on the spot.
The length is about from my hand to my elbow, the weight is just right, and it's quite a work of art.


I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this, but I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this.


I see, I thought, it's easy to swing in the street.
I nodded at the adventurer who said interruptions and remembered his face.
If that former demon king's right-hand man recommended that Crowe hit it, it must have been quite expensive.
I don't have that much money, so I'm just grateful that he lends me the money.


Sorry, I'll be back in a few minutes.


With that, Cena leaves the front lines.
I grin.
Now I can fight without a care in the world.
There are still dozens of adventurers in the front line, but I can't see them from here.
The other side wouldn't think that a yellow-ranked adventurer like him would have annihilated the demons.

I gently held my hand out in front of me.


"Shadow magic, activate.


Just like Commander Saran said, I don't use shadow magic where people can see me.
Well, even if they see me, they can fool me that it's a derivative of dark magic, and I'm always on full alert so that I don't lose control and attack people in case I lose control.

The shadow that manifested in this world stained the ground with a blackness darker than the sky and rubbed against me with glee.
I don't feel any sensation at all, but I feel the dog miss me.


'Good, eat. Well, I don't think it's going to taste much.'


The first thing this guy ate was a minotaur.
From there, he ate Fenrir, Chimera, and other highly rare demons, so his tongue might be discerning.

The demons disappeared without leaving a single drop of blood from the place where the shadow magic passed through, and the demons who saw it tried to run away from the shadow magic first, as if they were afraid.
However, because of the gap between the two, the demons are unable to escape and some of them are crushed to death by their friends' bodies.


'I don't feel good about watching it, but it's quite a sight.


The demons that had been terrorizing the beastmen by invading until now were now pushing and squeezing each other in fear of something unknown.
It's pleasant to think of the beastmen who were crushed by the building and their children were cut off, and the people who had come to work and were torn apart by the demons.


People were caught up in the signs that were developing at full strength and I told them to go back to their shadow magic.
I labored over the shadow magic that came into my shadow and cut up the nearby demons.
It's quite tedious to spend time on each one, so I carefully wield my dagger so that I can slaughter the enemy in one blow.


''Sorry, Akira!''


I raise one hand in response to Senna, who appears from behind the building.


''Isn't there some kind of decrease in the number of demons?''


I look around and say that to Senna, who looks around and I return the calloused look.
I return my hand and cut the demon's throat in its cow-like form.


'Well, I didn't notice. The defenses here are so tight, they must have gone over there.


Well, the truth is that my magic ate them up.
I couldn't take them all, and there were a few hundred left, but we could take them out with two people.
This would allow us to go to other places for cover.
I looked around in the spare time I had.
A mass of flames passed by me.


"There's no need to look everywhere.
Isn't it obvious? Who do you think let us have this much of a front?


It seems that Cena is comfortable enough to be able to speak lightly.
I yelled out an oops.
Out of the corner of my eye, I see the demon on the materials list Crow gave me.


'....Well, I've got the ingredients.


In an instant, he closes the distance and swings his dagger.
As I recall, it was a claw that I could collect.
I shoved the demon's claws into my pocket.


''It's almost over. ... Well then, let's use the leftover magic power to save it.


Senna laughed like a naughty child and started chanting.
It was clearly different from other magic, and I could see that she was nervous about chanting.
I do as Senna's serious expression urges me to do, and I take great care to prevent the demons from going in Senna's direction.


''Blow out the flame of purgatory, manifest, let everything be burnt to ashes... Flame (Homura)''


After that chant was over, I looked around and nothing happened.
When I turned my head to see if it was a dud, the ground shook a bit.


'Akira, come here.'


I was sweating coldly as the shaking became worse and worse, and Senna, with a strange smile on her face, beckoned me to join her.
When I looked closely, the only place that was shaking was where the demons were gathered.


'Hey, what's this?'


When I finally asked, curious, Senna laughed and put her index finger to her mouth.
A gopoly, gopoly sound came out of nowhere, and the shaking at the demons' place intensified.
They could have run away, but the demons' feet didn't move.
With a thud, something blew out, and the demons on top of it disappeared in an instant.
Only the demonic stone fell with a thud.
The demons were shaking with a rustle.

My eyes, which are no longer human, had properly caught what it was.


''Is that... magma?''


When I was in Japan, I visited Aso once, and I think I saw this movie there.
The slow moving red sludge swallowing the trees little by little but surely.


"Oh, you're surprisingly knowledgeable. 'Yes. The magic forces it to the ground and then forces it back into the ground. That's what this magic is all about.


Scary.
The demon's eyes were tinted with obvious fear as he looked at his companions who were disappearing by the invisible attack in front of him.
Some of them are stupid enough to give me a pleading look even though they are enemies.
When I looked at the demons' feet, wondering why they didn't run away, I saw that their feet were melting from the high heat.
That's why they can't move in the street.
The cells that make up the leg must have started to melt and are stuck to the one next to it.
If you can feel the pain, it's the magic of the deathly pain and the constant fear of being next.


'That's nasty,'


A hot wind came this way.

I'm sure that if Night or Amelia, who knows about shadow magic, had been by my side, I would have rushed in to tell her you're going to tell her.
But my shadow magic will swallow me whole, and the assassination is only a moment before I feel fear from behind.
Using this kind of magic in a large scale annihilation war is comparable to torture.
The thought of it being aimed at a person's partner sends shivers down my spine.
I squinted my eyes and watched the demons disappear, leaving behind their magic stones.

Thanks to Senna's foul and egregious magic, the area we were left in charge of has been largely cleared up.
I was relieved when I finally felt relaxed.
I received a telepathic message from the impatient night.


''Lord! Miss Amelia, Miss Amelia has been kidnapped!


I felt like my mind had gone blank.
