Without any hesitation because of the opponent's appearance, he put the shield in front of his body, and the bearded man ran straight into Louise.

But as a heavy armored infantryman, his speed was obviously not as fast as Louise, a magician with some battlefield experience.

When he was still more than one meter away, he was blown into the air by the explosion at his feet. Although Louise's [Quick Explosion] was not as lethal as a grenade because there were no fragments, it still had the advantage of a shock wave.

A certain advantage.

But at this moment, the mithril arrow, which was faster than any infantryman, had arrived not far from Louise’s right hand side, and was about to pierce Louise’s temple!

But Louise, who was still focusing on the front, didn’t realize this!

At this critical moment, Mashiro took a step forward, blocking the flight path of the arrow. The gem necklace on Mashiro's chest flashed with white light, and the arrow instantly lost its power and fell to the ground.

above.

When it comes to dynamic vision and concentration, Mashiro will not lose to professional martial artists.

The events around her startled Louise, but before she could thank Mashiro, more arrows fell from the sky in all directions around them.

"[InertiaCance]!"

The same effect as the magic that just appeared from Mashiro's chest, this time all the arrows lost their forward momentum and fell straight on the ground, and there was also a friendly force that almost hurt the ground...

Seeing this scene, the bearded man who had just been blown away and landed on the ground reacted quickly:

"The archers change to [Demon-Breaking Arrows]! Focus on attacking the shorter one! Spread out in different directions! The magician chants and prepares! The assassin retreats..."

Although he looks rough, this bearded guy is surprisingly a big-brained guy.

This greatly increased the pressure on Louise and the others, and the effect of [Inertia Cance] on the demon-breaking arrows made of demon-hating metal was only about half of its original effect.

The defensive barrier on Mashiro had opened on its own, but Louise was not included.

Louise, who only thought about opening her shield now, understood that it was already too late. The [Demon-Breaking Arrows] in this world are not very effective, but about two arrows can open Louise's first layer of defense.

Even if she gave up attacking and kept shielding herself, Louise started to panic.

And the shield warriors coming from all around have a vague tendency to surround themselves...

Now she can't even care about herself, let alone the "bodies" on the ground.

After calming down, she understood her next few choices——

The first is to open the [space door] and run away in despair... Then Louise will not have the face to see her teacher in the future.

The second is to use the ultimate move to kill everyone in an instant, just like what she did before. But in this case, there will be no one left alive except her and Mashiro. If the result is like this, she herself will not know what she is here for.

What are you doing?

The original intention was to save people, but what does it mean to destroy them yourself?

Louise, as a severely biased child, is capable of powerful destructive magic. She is considered an expert, but a large-scale incapacitating magic?

Sorry I didn't learn it.

Three is...

No, no, no, Louise definitely doesn’t want to choose three. Even if she goes back dejected, she doesn’t want to choose three.

【Fireball(FIREBALL)】!

【WindHummer】!

The magician who was closer had already completed his magic, and the two combos of wind-assisted fire instantly broke Louise's shield that she had no time to superimpose, blowing dust on her face.

But just take advantage of this opportunity:

"Who wants to be beaten all the time! Eolh, Thorn... [EXPLOSION]!"

This time it was still aimed at ground blasting.

Mud, dust, fragments of maple leaves... were all thrown into the air, and the cans that were closer were instantly submerged under the soil.

Magicians and archers also lost sight of their targets, and their attacks were temporarily stagnant.

“[Dustproof and Dustproof(Scourgify)]!~”

After a flash of light, Louise and Mashiro's figures emerged from the dust and quickly moved to a "corpse". After confirming that the person was really dead, Louise took advantage of the dust to cover up and opened the door again.

A [space door] leads to the next "corpse".

She had a good idea. She took advantage of fast movement to quickly find the survivors and move far away through the [Space Gate]...

But in actual operation, there was still some lack of experience. When it was confirmed that the second "corpse" had no heartbeat, the [Professionals] around him had already reacted.

The magicians began to disperse the dust, and the archers began to look for targets again!

At this time, when Louise was about to confirm that she had successfully arrived at the third "corpse", the "corpse" wearing a green camouflage uniform suddenly appeared!

A dagger with a faint light magnified in front of Louise's eyes, but she had no time to react!

In a daze, she seemed to see a naked body covered by mud, and a young assassin wearing obviously ill-fitting clothes with a ferocious smile on his lips...

So it turns out that it’s not only others whose vision is obscured by dust, but also yourself?

Understanding this, Louise seemed to have given up resistance and relaxed her whole body as if she had accepted her fate...

He recited his own life-saving spell——

"[Accelerate]..."

As the last syllable of the spell fell, everyone except Louise felt a trance in front of their eyes. Louise, who was completely limp and weak, hid behind Mashiro, with unwillingness in her eyes.

Of course, both the sinister and vengeful assassins and the archers aiming from a distance have lost their goals and begun to doubt life.

Louise said with difficulty as if she was constipated:

"Mashiro, just scream, he will listen to you, I... forget it, just say I fainted."

After saying that, Louise decisively fell into Mashiro's arms.

At the last moment, she had no choice but to choose the third option——

"...someone, sorry, help us."

[Off-site help (cheating)]

"[Restrain Aura]~"

A huge halo fell from the sky, and magical threads weaved mysterious laws, instantly covering the entire battlefield.

Everyone here, whether they are running warriors, mages casting spells on the spot, or assassins in stealth state, all feel the pressure on their bodies that just exceeds their own strength attributes, making them unable to move.

move……

Accompanied by the sudden sound of the angel's lament, a familiar portal opened in the center of the battlefield, but this time the people coming out of it seemed to have their own special effects -

On the flowing black robe, there is a cipher text that looks like a starry sky. On the long staff made of simple exotic ancient wood, a huge ruby ​​shines brightly. The mysterious visitor with black hair and black eyes looks like a young man no matter how you look at it, but his

But his body always shows the aura of old age...

Just standing in mid-air, the professionals who could not move had already felt the pressure that penetrated deep into their souls!
