Chapter 112.1 : Clash! Holy Power Vs Demonic Power
Prince Julius let out a wry smile as he confirmed the figure of Nidhogg flying toward them from the back of their enemy’s formation.
High above the sky―
『Nidhogg, use your breath attack!』
『GROAAAAAAAAAAA!』
Responding to Vassago’s order, Nidhogg fired a prismatic breath from the sky toward Lumilus, which enjoyed the protection of 《Dark Prison》. The powerful breath attack created a huge ripple on 《Dark Prison》’s surface.
『Fuhahaha! As expected of Vassago-sama!』
『To think that he had another trump card all this time! All forces, CHARGEEEEEEEE!』
The demon race army became fired upon seeing Vaasago’s display of power. They ordered the monster to charge into their enemy’s rank.
Nidhogg’s breath attack had opened a large crack on Alisha’s 《Dark Prison》, and the demon army was trying to break through the barrier by using those cracks.
Moreover, vague figures resembling Cyclops and Orthos could be seen in the back of the demon side’s formation. It seemed Vassago could resummon them after their death.
「I’ve been waiting! 《Fairy Bullet》!」
「Not so fast! 《Branch Whip》?!」
Just when the demon army managed to invade the barrier, the defender side’s rearguard, including Lily and Faeri, bombarded them with their magic. The sudden appearance of the curved light bullets and the branch whips frustrated the demons who had invaded into the barrier.
「We can’t lose to our juniors, Leo!」
「NYAAAAAAAAAN!」
Fione and Leo, who stood by the two fairies’ side, also used their bow and 《Icicle Lance》 respectively to bombard the enemy side.
「Oh my! No one can beat me when it comes to ice magic, you know?」
Arnold sprung from behind.
(S)he stood alongside Leo and fired her advance ice magic, 《Ice Blade》.
Thus, four gleaming ice blades appeared in their surroundings and tore apart their enemy’s ranks.
And then――
「Great, now leave those summoned beasts to us…」
Cedric drew his sword from its sheath. The blade of his sword was covered in a jet-black glow. He released the power he got from Archmage, his little brother-in-law.
Following him, Dani and Howard shouted, 「「Don’t forget about us too」」 in unison.
「The last time I felt so excited like this was during Ragnarok!」「Yup, that’s true!」. Kenny and Marietta joined in too as they ran toward the summoned beast who came along with the demons.
「However, the problem is that flying summoned beast and Vassago.」
「Aria-chan, Tama-chan. Can I leave them to you two?」
While Julius was giving instructions to the defender’s army, Alisha, who maintained 《Dark Prison》, raised her katana to the sky and pointed at Nidhogg and Vassago. She then asked the question to Aria and Tama.
「Leave it to us, Your Highness, Alisha-sama!」
「Nya~n! (We’ll kick that Vassago’s ass for sure!」
Alisha couldn’t participate in the battle since her job was to maintain 《Dark Prison》. Prince Julius had already calculated about the chances of their enemy resummoning another summoned beast.
That was why he said, 「As I thought」 when his prediction about the flying enemy was spot on.
As a counterplan against that kind of enemy, he had kept Aria and Tama in the rear formation to preserve their strength.
「Nyaa?（Here I come, EVOLUTION―）!」 [Note : Digimon?]
A silver light appeared around Tama’s body along with his adorable cry. And then, the sacred beast reappeared―Behemoth Third Form.
「…Let’s go Tama!」
「Gruu（Roger that, Master）!」
After replying with a low groan, Tama rubbed his cheek against Aria’s head.
「Fufufu, thank you for your encouragement, Tama.」
Aria thanked Tama for his encouragement, then rode on his back.
Here we go…《Divine Protection of Lion King》!
As soon as Tama raised a war cry, Stella and the others, the knights, the adventurers, and Lumilus’s army, all became enveloped by golden light.
The range of the evolved Tama’s 《Divine Protection of Lion King》 had increased to an unprecedented level. He could also choose the receiver of his blessing skill.
The warriors, who were at loss for a moment due to the sudden spike in their status, regained their composure in the next moment and increased their killing pace.
『Kuh… what in the hell is happening to these guys!? They suddenly became more powerful!』
『Even the ones who were about to drop dead a moment ago suddenly recovered! What’s happening here?』
The demon side was bewildered by the sudden change in their opponent’s power. The effect of Tama’s 《Divine Protection of Lion King》 gave his allies a sudden explosive increase in their status, and just like the demons had said before, it could even recharge those who were on the verge of death.
The secret lay in a certain 〝Item? given to Aria and co.
During the preparation for the war, Aria and the others had distributed a large quantity of elixir made from the fountain of life to the adventurers and the Lumilus’s warriors.
The elixir could heal any fatal wound to perfection. Every single one of their corps carried five of those elixirs.
With that, they could help their fatally wounded comrades. Thus, with everyone working to help each other, the defender army was almost comparable to an immortal army.
No matter how powerful the demon side and their monster were, they were at disadvantage against an almost immortal army with seamless cooperation and wits.
On top of that, Lumilus’s side combat force in the form of Aria’s party was also equipped with artifacts.
Since those girls’ attacks were one-hit-kill, the demon army couldn’t just let them scot-free.
Moreover, these girls also carried a large number of elixir with them. Thus, they were unstoppable killing machines with inexhaustible stamina.
◆
『Guh… they are pushing us back! But, we’ll win as long as I enter the city and take the Philosopher sto― What’s that?』
Vassago was watching over the war from Nidhogg’s back.
Even if the entire demon force was annihilated, he would win as long as he could take the philosopher’s stone.
Thus, he was about to order Nidhogg to continue its breath attack but he noticed a shadow approaching from below at high speed.
He saw the figure of a lion with pure white fur and silvery wings along with a beautiful elf girl who had porcelain white skin and was clad in silver bikini armor―Tama and Aria had arrived to stop Vassago.
Alisha had controlled her 《Black Prison》 and opened a part of it for a moment to let Tama and Aria out.
『You bastard… You’re the same elf from the other day, huh! And that beast is… Whatever! I’ll gladly grant your wish to die together! KILL THEM, NIDHOGG!』
Vassago was annoyed upon seeing Tama and Aria catching up to him in the sky, and he ordered Nidhogg to fire its breath at them.
BRING IT ON, AS*SHO*LE! 《FLAME HOWLING》!
With a bang, Tama’s warcry reverberated in the sky. The air shook as he released his 《Elemental Howl》 of fire attribute, whose might increased because of the sacred attribute from his current form.
