9. Simply Painful

“Thaaat’s...!” Purple lightning danced madly as Kimura shouted. “The terrifying poweeer...! Of a reliiic...!”

“Is that the demon sword and armor, Aragarfald?!” Ranta jumped, slashed a specter, then raced past it. The specter burst. “It’s the power of the relic Renji found on the Red Continent!”

The number of incoming bullets had dropped massively. Actually, there were hardly any at this point.

“Tokimune-san!” Haruhiro prompted. I didn’t need to say that, he thought as soon as the name left his mouth. But Tokimune wasn’t the type to take an “I don’t need you to tell me that” kind of attitude.

“Yeah!” With a flash of his pearly whites, Tokimune began advancing once more. “Now’s our chance! Let’s go, people!”

Had Tokimune anticipated this? Anticipated that Shinohara, Renji, and the others taking route B would come to their aid?

Since the synchronized unlocking had worked, that had to mean the team on route B had entered the corridor. However, if the route A team ended up struggling, the route B team surely would too. That was the natural assumption. It was entirely within the realm of possibility that both teams would be pushed out of the corridor by the enemy. If Tokimune had been relying on support from the route B team, that was awfully optimistic of him.

But things worked out this way because the route A team had hung in for so long.

Haruhiro had been trapped, thinking, Nope, we’re at our limits, this isn’t going to work. While he might not have been in a state of panic, he’d definitely felt boxed in. If Haruhiro were the one giving commands, the route A team would have pulled back before Renji and the others could reach them.

Under Tokimune’s leadership, the route A team blew up the incoming specters, carved their way through the shadows, and pressed forward.

Suddenly, the purple lightning vanished.

“Ron.”

“Aw, yeahhhh!”

The buzz-cut warrior who came in from the side had a lantern tied to his waist, and wielded a greatsword shaped like a massive meat cleaver. Ron. When Team Renji’s warrior took a swing, a horrifying slicing sound echoed through the corridor.

What had he cut? A pawn? Or was it a haunt? Or maybe a miniature golem?

Whatever it was, there wasn’t much that the meat cleaver he was carrying couldn’t cut. When he finished the swing, Ron’s weapon was buried deep in the floor. How was he planning to free it?

Ron gripped the hilt of the giant weapon with both hands and forcefully twisted it. When he did, it popped free from the floor, and he swung it down again. Slice. This time the arc was diagonal, and the blade tore into the wall instead of the floor.

With a grunt of exertion, Ron yanked the massive meat cleaver out of the wall, scattering shards of stone rubble all over the area.

“He’s mighty powerful!” Yume was impressed. Rightly so, but Haruhiro couldn’t help but question the turn of phrase “mighty powerful.”

“Zeel, mare, gram, tera, kanon.”

There was chanting. A spell? A whitish sphere flew about wildly. No, there were five, ten, maybe more of them, and they weren’t just flying around at random.
