Kazane fluttered through the sky.
With white wings spread and blessed with Wind's Divine Protection, she flew through the blue sky.
And below her, she could see the Odo Eater Leech swarm. Individually, those monsters were no big deal for an experienced adventurer, but a group of thousands moving together was nothing less than miraculous. However, right now, Kazane was calmly observing and confirming the state of affairs.
(Firing into the center and quickly scattering them here is a possible method, but if I did that, this entire area would likely become quite dangerous.)
When they defeated the Ogre horde previously, the problem of escaped Ogres attacking people traveling on the highway had occurred afterwards. Consequently, Kazane was thinking of hunting as many as she could hunt this time.
(In that case, should I aim for the back and spank their butts instead to keep them restrained?)
Kazane's aim had been decided. Then,
＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊
The soldiers in front of Trade City Uumin's main gate witnessed a pillar of light pouring down from the heavens behind the swarm of monsters. It seemed perfectly clear that that was fired by the white-winged girl who took off earlier.
That wasn't all. Immediately after the light vanished, the soldiers felt a tremendous chill. Everyone was aware that that was also being emitted by that angel girl. They felt with their bodies a sense of intimidation that was so powerful, they couldn't help but notice.
「That is rank S?」
「... Isn't that overwhelming?」
The soldiers leaked such awe-filled voices. To be accurate, Kazane wasn't rank S yet, but that was something the soldiers didn't know. With a sidelong glance at them, Jinrai observed the battle situation.
「Hmm. She used『Devil King's Intimidation』at full power? Even the soldiers are scared.」
「Nyaa」
After Jinrai's words, Yuuko-nee beside him made a cry.
「Well, wait a little, Yuuko-nee. Now that Kazane has slowed them down, it's my turn.」
While saying that, Jinrai stepped forward.
「Mass production model Tatsuyoshi-kuns, line up side by side. Dragoon, take position as well!」
Jinrai's arm started transforming as he shouted those instructions to the Tatsuyoshi-kuns. The prosthetic arm's armor made clacking sounds as it changed. By the time the surrounding soldiers noticed the change, Jinrai's right arm was in a straight line like a gun barrel. And unlike before, two rods were sticking out the end of the prosthetic arm cannon. They were Adamantium rails that could also be used in close combat instead of the claws. They had aimed to further increase the Railgun's power by extending the distance of the rails.
「Now, it's the beginning of a fun show.」
So saying, Jinrai stabbed the auxiliary arms into the ground to anchor himself while pointing the prosthetic arm at the swarm of monsters.
The soldiers stirred at that situation. The soldiers understood that Jinrai was about to do something. But what in the world was it?
「Everyone, cover your ears. If your eardrums break, that's not my problem!」
Naturally, Jinrai put earplugs in his own ears as he said that, and Yuuko-nee also cried「Unyaa」as she moved a little bit away and closed her ears with her forelegs.
Then, licking his lips, Jinrai took aim, and the Thunder God Cannon, which had filled with magical power, immediately roared.
Immediately following, a piercing sound resounded, and a lump of earth soared in front of them as if something had exploded.
That sound was exactly the same as a thunderous roar. The soldiers' hearts were dyed to the core with fear at the situation that was as if thunder was roaring just before their eyes. Then, before their eyes, the monsters were exposed to those blasts and blown away.
Jinrai was fiercely laughing at the scene occurring in front of him as he continued to fire.
Although the accuracy of the Thunder God Cannon had decreased in proportion to the increased power, its ability to directly hit was low from the start. Kazane decided that even if it got a little worse, it was within the margin of error, so the Adamantium rails were added at the East Dragon Village to increase its power.
And before his eyes, there was an Odo Eater Leech swarm as far as the eye could see. If he shot, he would hit. Since that was the case, Jinrai continued shooting without thinking about anything.
「Wahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahyahyaaaaahaaaaaahaaaaaaa!!」
Jinrai's unceasing fierce laughter as if he had gone mad resounded. Beside him, the mass production model Tatsuyoshi-kuns started assiduously throwing while Dragoon carried the rock bullets prepared in advance and handed them over to the mass production models.
The Lindo Kingdom soldiers watching that scene understood what a『rank S adventurer』was; they understood what it meant when they said that a single one had power comparable to an army, and they were speechless. And further destruction continued in front of those astonished soldiers. Jinrai moved the Thunder God Cannon to the right to mow the monsters down, and the explosions of earth headed right. It looked like that power was currently changing the terrain before their eyes.
Who could have predicted that spectacle? Who could have imagined that disastrous scene?
After continuously firing dozens of cannonballs to exhaustion, Jinrai was tired out due to the shocks that had run through his entire body and sat down to catch a breather, finally putting a stop to the roars.
Behind Jinrai, the soldiers who'd had a front row seat to that dreadful scene couldn't move due to their state of tension. Due to the shock before their eyes, several soldiers had collapsed, become unable to stand, wet themselves, and/or fainted. It seemed it was too stimulating for them.
Corps Commander Luger and Anglais beside him also had open mouths as they watched. As might be expected, even the white cat Elizabeth, who was usually easygoing, was lost for words.
「He overdid it.」
In the midst of that, Jin Bahar said that to himself in a dumbfounded voice. While thinking that if such a thing was mass-produced, they would be out of business. However, Jinrai was simply angry as he wondered why they weren't moving.
「Hey. Why are you all just standing around? Charge in. Quickly.」
Jinrai called out to the soldiers next to him with an exhausted voice. However, they couldn't move; as if they were paralyzed, the soldiers who were called out to simply looked at Jinrai with wide eyes without saying any words. It seemed their thinking had stopped due to the shock.
Thanks to Jinrai's words, Corps Commander Luger came to his wits, and after he finally raised his voice, Lindo Kingdom's army started to move.
＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊
After confirming that Jinrai's attack had stopped and that the soldiers had started to move, Kazane surveyed the surroundings again. As ever, the accuracy of the Thunder God Cannon remained an issue, but that was anticipated, and it was fine to call it an excellent result.
