Chapter 48
48 Threat of the battlefield
A few hours before the fight started between Setsu and the wolfblade Ruga in the beastmen continent .
Inside the castle of the human continent’s kingdom of Destinea, the research institute of Tia Amarette aka the magic scholar .
Within were figures of three people .
One was the owner of this chamber, Tia Amarette .
The other Elka Versoe .
And the last was Glain Armony
The three were standing on a large magic circle――――――a transfer magic circle to be accurate .
“He has finally come out of this formal castle hasn’t he……”
“I am able to perfectly percept Touma’s magic power . This castle had served its purpose with this . ”
“You are relentless aren’t you two? I am getting quite attached to this place however . ”
Thus, with the existence called Touma appearing on the front stage at last, their objective, the confirmation of Touma’s existence has come to an end .
Since it had come to this, they had no need to collect information using this castle as a base .
In other words――――――it meant they have become able to move freely .
“If master Setsu is here then I can feel attached to any place, you know?”
“In other words, if there’s no attachment because he’s not here, then……”
“That is how it will be . ”
It was Elka who declared so with a firm expression, but as a result of the contents of her words having substance, Glain turned exasperated and let out a sigh .
“If Setsu is here then anywhere is fun . That’s why, let us quickly go to Setsu’s side . ”
“Tia, you are also nearly always like this……But I suppose I am of the same opinion on that point . ”
The transfer magic circle began to shine .
It is on standby for invocation and it was a signal that it could immediately fly .
“For now we participate in the war, arrange the extermination targets for the human soldiers, discover a gap and recover miss Yuuhi . Don’t forget, okay?”
“I know . It would be nice if master Setsu is there……”
“No problem . Even if Setsu couldn’t come yet, I will go with the resolve to end it before he does . ”
Glain forced a smile towards the reliability of the women’s camp .
It couldn’t be helped that he ended up wondering why despite being a man, he doesn’t have any dignity like this and that the women were strong .
“Now then……Mister Setsu must be depending on us as well, so……shall we go?”
Now, three strong people went towards the battlefield .
It was not that Setsu could use telepathy with them .
And yet, they had a long and close relationship and they are connected to him strong enough to understand what they desire from each other .
The military strength that can shake the world were all present in the demon continent .
◇ ◇ ◇
“Fuuh……Setsu really hasn’t changed . ”
“Have you finished making your appearance, oh lord of mine . ”
“Yup, thanks for waiting, Kagerou . Everyone . ”
Above the enormous cliff where large drops of rain were falling, were standing in a line seven men and women wearing black robes .
At the heart of them was Touma .
He had the same appearance as the thought body Setsu had seen some time ago .
“The beastman really was useless as expected……To embarrass master Touma……”
“Now now, calm down Luna . I don’t mind it after all”
“But!”
“You’re all useful to me, aren’t you?”
He asked and all of the black robes nodded deeply .
There were even people among them who showed a smile from being relied on .
They love Touma that strongly and have pledged their allegiance to him, to the point that they would die if they were told to die .
“Let’s see……Now, shall we go then……people who have been rejected by the world . ”
Now, in accordance with Touma’s command, the six reapers were released in the battlefield below the cliff .
While displaying the fight for supremacy between the human and demon soldiers, the death agony of the demon soldiers began to reverberate .
Just about this time, the battlefield in which its balance had been maintained, finally began to show an inclination .
“Now! Trample them down for me please! My adorable toys!”
The laughter of the maddened Hero, reverberated through the battlefield .
On this day, rain was falling――――――
◇ ◇ ◇
“So, so strong! Somebody stop her! Stop this girl!”
Why――――――am I here?
“You bastard! That skin and horn should be of a demon! Why are you attacking us!?”
“This brethren murderer is gyaa――――――”
Why――――――did I stab one of the same race?
“We can’t stop her! Surround her and kill――――――”
“Private first class!”
I pierce the crown of the noisy man .
I burn down those soldiers in my surroundings with magic, draw out the rapier continuously and stop his breathing .
“I- it’s a redhaired woman! A redhaired woman holding a Rapier! She has a scar on her shoulder! Bring her down with maximum priority! Don’t let her go right after her Majesty!”
“I, I can’t stop her! Gyaa!”
What――――――in the world am I doing?
My consciousness is blurry .
Whatever I was thinking about since a while ago, I can’t bring it together .
Where is this place?
For whose and what sake am I fighting?
Why does my arm continue to thrust out my rapier?
Another person died .
Stop .
Help me .
Stop .
STOP, STOP, STOP, STOP .
STOPSTOPSTOPSTOPSTOPSTOPSTOPSTOPSTOP――――――!
Someone please――――――
“――――――STOP ME”
A redhaired demon woman suddenly started breaking into the battlefield .
Smeared with the blood of the same race, the girl whose whole body was completely dyed red loitered alone on the battlefield .
What was in her vicinity were corpses, corpses, corpses――――――
Loitering around with no expression, with a vacant expression, the girl shed red tears .
The blood on her body ran down from the rain and those tears vanished before long .
Or perhaps――――――what was flowing from those eyes of hers may not have been tears .
It’s because she was changed so she could not harbor those emotions anymore .
Even so, she cried and screamed .
From her heart――――――from a deep, dark and confined place somewhere .
“She’s here! It’s that woman!”
“Brethren murderer bitch! Die here!”
“What’s that guy beside her!?”
Preys have turned up once again .
Her body moved naturally .
For the sake of those, to kill them .
Besides her were soldiers standing unnoticed .
Those bodies were twice the size of hers, soldiers who were wearing unrefined armor and numerous magic circles .
<Magic Soldiers>――――――It’s the name of the arms of war to be handed down in the world afterwards .
“――――――LET’S GO, RAMELL”
The girl muttered .
As if in agreement to that, the magic soldiers began moving .
Around the time the black robed reapers appeared, a different threat began moving at the corner of the battlefield――――――
