Who was the real monster here?

“Augh,” the boy groaned in frustration. “Anyway, the demon’s the real threat! The rest of you, uh...cast spells...or something!”

“R-Right...!”

The tall girl nodded as the boy raced to the front row. He had been confused at first, but he deserved a passing mark for being able to give orders once he’d had a moment to collect himself. He wasn’t bad—not for his age and level!

“Wouaah!!!” The redheaded girl swung Hrathnir—it whooshed through the air to collide with one of the lesser demon’s four arms.

“GOOOAHHHRRG!!!”

“Yap?!”

Although it wasn’t fit to be called a greater demon, it was a demon all the same. Its strength was incomparably mightier than that of an average monster. When blade locked with arm, it was inevitable that the girl would be overpowered.

“Ughhh!” She gritted her teeth and resisted with all her might, but still, the blade was slowly but surely pushed away.

Her clear blue eyes darted left and right. She was worried about the void priests pressing in on her. Even if the demon didn’t get her, the priests could surround her on all sides—they would surely stab her to death.

It had nothing to do with her focus. The attack would be a fatal one (critical hit).

They were getting closer, and she was going to desperately resist them. “Woof!” barked the girl. It was a meaningless effort.

“Aah...?!”

Her knees shook. Her tiny body was pressed down—would she soon be crushed?

But then...

“Take a look at...this!”

“GAAARRG?!”

“Arf!”

The boy’s dagger grazed the demon’s arm, and the girl freed her blade during the lapse in its attention. She rolled away, panting like a dog, and then let out a growl of intimidation.

Her will to fight showed no sign of flagging—the same went for Hrathnir.

Truly, there was no more suitable opponent for Hrathnir than a demon. Though this demon was classified as lesser, there was still only a fifty percent chance that Hrathnir’s power to inflict death would be effective against it. On top of that, the demon’s ability to cast spells as easily as it breathed was on par with a certain famous mage’s.

The demon was indeed fearsome—yet any who faltered before such a foe would be unfit to bear Hrathnir.

Now...what of the mage who was standing behind them? And what of the bishop girl?

“Erm... Uh...” the mage holding a Dragon Slayer murmured, a serious look on her face. “KATINO...won’t work on the lesser demon, but...”

“But?” the rhea girl repeated. Her single eye widened. “It’ll work on the rest?!”

“P-Probably?”

The rhea’s next action had a dramatic effect.

“Mimuein lai tazanme (O fire, become wind and explode)!”

Those words of truth, uttered with conviction, transformed into the little sparks of MELITO. In an instant, the sparks wrapped around the dark red priests of the void, making them anxious and eager to escape.

Ahh, this was why her burrow-dwelling kind were such an admirable race.

Her vision must have been limited, yet the bishop grinned with obvious glee once she knew what was happening.

“Nice!”

“Oh, um, well, I’ll do something too...!”

In response, the black-haired mage raised her Dragon Slayer like a staff.
