Chapter 131: The Demons Panic
◆ Darjin ◆
Who is this brat!?
Heading towards the town of Tatsutron, we discovered a group with a brat at the front.
Judging from the scale that they were probably the interception force of the Dragon Emperor faction, I immediately launched a preemptive strike, but I never expected it to be dodged.
And the brat blew away the anti-Dragon Emperor faction remnants I brought along in the blink of an eye, reducing their numbers.
No matter how much the humans’ war potential decreases, it’s no skin off our nose, but this power cannot be underestimated.
Darjin. This brat’s attacks are quite fast.
Azam, who crossed swords with the brat, sends telepathy laden with troublesome feelings.
Fighting disguised as a human is troublesome. Better to reveal our true forms and defeat him at once.
Fumu, indeed.
The number of humans we brought is already below the number of the Dragon Emperor faction.
Honestly speaking, it was unexpected that they were this weak.
Well, we were the ones who weakened the humans’ war potential to this extent, though.
Very well. Probably this brat is a Dragon Knight or his apprentice. Then by making a blood sacrifice of this brat, shall we make the humans know our terror?
To massacre them with the Mana Breaker?
Yeah, we went to the trouble of preparing our trump card magic item. We must have the humans entertain us.
We will reveal our existence only after preparations for invasion are fully complete.
Therefore, those who know our true identity must definitely be eliminated.
Azam reveals his true form and attacks the brat.
That speed is not something a human can react to.
This is the end for that brat too.
Being exceptionally talented was your misfortune, brat.
“What!?”
But what was heard was not the brat’s death cry, but Azam‘s voice of astonishment.
“Oryaaa!”
“Gwaaaaaa!!”
Far from that, even a scream was heard.
What!? What happened!?
No, this is not the time! I must cover Azam quickly!
“Nuun!”
Wary of my attack, the brat steps back.
“Darjin, this brat is skilled.”
Hey Darjin! This brat is dangerous!? What is this speed!? It hurts ridiculously!?
While pretending to be composed, Azam‘s voice heard via telepathy was panicked to the extreme.
Calm down Azam, there are two of us.
Oh right! If it’s two against one, we can win! Gufufu, brat, I’ll make you pay for wounding me!
I thought he was calculating as expected, but well, considering the opponent.
The existence of a warrior who can fight evenly with us in this era is excessively dangerous.
Now, let’s go!
“But how long will you last against the two of us?”
Receiving our fierce attacks, the brat’s body is dyed in blood… dyed… not?
“Wait, why!?”
Even though our attacks hit the brat many times, there isn’t a single scratch on his body.
What is this armor!? Rather, our weapons doing the attacking are the ones getting damaged!?
Even so, our weapons are magic items made by your ancestors in the past, you know!?
We collected powerful magic items by various means to weaken human war potential.
This is one of them, and it should be more than enough of a threat to modern humans.
Moreover, the nightmare didn’t end there.
“Oh my, in that case, adding one more makes it two against two.”
“SOMETHING INCREASED!?”
Surprisingly, even a mage girl appearing to be the brat’s ally appeared.
N-No good!? At this rate, the numerical advantage is lost!
Ah hey brat! Why are you making a touching expression like ‘a friend came in a pinch’!
Rather, we are the ones who want reinforcements!
“Then I leave instructions to you, Leader.”
“Yeah!”
“IT’S NOT ‘YEAH’, IS IT!!”
“Here I go! FLAME SAUCER!”
When the newly appeared human girl activates magic, countless rings of fire are born surrounding us.
The rings of fire overlapped each other, drawing a circle.
“Burn them to ashes!”
Receiving the girl’s order, countless fireballs fly out from inside the rings of fire.
“Nuoh!? Magic that fires Fireballs in large quantities!?”
“Gwah!?”
Azam couldn’t dodge the attacks fully and receives a concentrated attack of fireballs.
“Fool!”
First, I try to destroy the rings creating fireballs, but the brat jumps in there.
“I won’t let you!”
“What!?”
This brat, isn’t he afraid of getting caught in the crossfire!?
“Brat, you’ll die too!?”
“Unfortunately for you! My specialty attribute is fire! So I can neutralize her magic with my fire Attribute Enhancement! Did Big Bro call it Attribute Synchronization or something?”
“Attribute Enhancement!? You say you can use high-level Body Enhancement!?”
A child like this uses high-level strengthening magic said to have been used by humans in the past!?
Don’t tell me all modern Dragon Knights are users of magic at this level!?
“Haa!!”
Knowing the consumption, I release a large amount of magic power in all directions and forcibly destroy the rings of fire.
“Whoops!”
The brat also stepped back due to the aftermath of magic power, but it doesn’t seem like much damage.
Truly annoying.
But with this, we can regroup.
I hurriedly convey the plan to Azam via telepathy.
No choice, we’ll split into two.
What!?
Though his expression doesn’t change, impatience and surprise seep into Azam‘s will.
I used a little too much power to break the magic just now. A prolonged battle is dangerous. Therefore, I will head to the town and activate the Mana Breaker. Meanwhile, you stall them.
Hey hey hey hey, don’t say unreasonable things!? Just the brat was troublesome enough, and now another one joined!?
Don’t worry, if you focus on stalling and don’t fight head-on, you can manage somehow. Just harassing them from outside their range is enough.
No, but…
If we continue fighting like this, we are at a disadvantage. But if we can eliminate the Dragon Emperor, they will panic too. If the town is in crisis, they will have no choice but to chase me. If you attack from behind and stall them then, the plan is that they won’t be able to fight seriously.
I-I see. Making the opponent impatient while preventing them from fighting with full power!
Umu, then let’s do it!
By the way, about that plan, wouldn’t it be fine to reverse the roles?
…
I jumped with full power.
HEEEEEEEY! ANSWEEEEEER ME!
Sorry, Azam.
I won’t let your sacrifice be in vain!
