The huge iron arms kept knocking down the pottery-formed body again and again.
A figure that keeps attacking violently and roaring, you can even call it the Sacred Iron Magic Being.
Even though Ratten felt fear, she still gave orders to the Sturm:
"The one behind! Just for a moment, suppresse it! Another one use a storm to contain it!"
The Sturm standing behind Deen spewed out air from its air vent for a frontal assault. Another one has begun to create a turbulence from the storm.
However, this level of attack had no effect on the Red Iron Giant. It completely disregarded the turbulence, using its hand to strike down the Sturm. Asuka who was originally standing behind Deen retreated back in order to avoid being drawn into the turbulence, giving instructions while grabbing onto the pillars of the Church.
"Show them the difference of your strengths, Deen!"
One order, and Deen immediately seized Sturm's head, forcibly overpowering it to the ground.
The resistance from the pottery giant soldier had no effect, and with a sound of a strike, it let out a crisp sound before turning into fragments.
Now there is only one left. Just when Asuka was going to give the instructions to beat down the last Sturm— she realised that Ratten had disappeared.
"......She's gone.....?"
Asuka lost her. Unexpectedly letting an enemy escape under her sight. Asuka clicked her tongue and began looking at the surroundings. However she still could not find her, which was expected.
Because Ratten had used the wind whipped up by Sturm— and was flying in the sky.
(You are too far away from the iron doll, young lady......! This is my win!)
The distance between Deen and Asuka was as much as 18 meters, completely exceeding the distance needed to guard in time.
Ratten who believed that she was going to win aimed the tips of the flute at Asuka's head.
Although Asuka noticed Ratten's attack in a nick of time, but it was still too late. Facing against something she couldn't dodge, came the stab of the magic flute—
"—Pinch her, Deen."
One order, Ratten was firmly pinched by the [Extended] iron arm.
"Eh......!"
"Bur...........?"
'Pong!' Ratten who was caught by the elongated arm was being thrown towards the Sturm at high speed. The impact of the collision shook the surrounding area.
After the crushing blow on the third Sturm was delivered, Deen let out a wild roar. The movements it used was unexpected judging by its weight, its action could be described as light.
Probably it was Asuka who increased the power of it's strength.
"DEEEEEEeeeeeEEEEEEN!"
The Red Iron Giant let out a roar of triumph, and this was when Ratten realised.
This humanoid with a huge body of iron, how was it moved into the center of the cave in the first place.
And what methods it used to disappear from the huge cave in such a short period.
Getting the answers she sought, Ratten looked up at Deen with fear in her eyes.
"Re........Retractable metal.....! Only the Dragon [Pureblood] could forge these kind of things!"
—The god that created the mobile doll. The quality of the raw materials could increase or decrease, and it is said that the material was the same as the Rod that [Monkey King] of the seven Demon Kings loved. After that the ground faeries would forge the materials into the iron doll. Contrary to the hollow body, it had extraordinarily huge body weight.
Receiving the mortal wound from the fist attack, Ratten spat out blood and keeled over.
Asuka strode over to the the dying yet smiling Ratten.
"This should even out the kicks that you gave me. You can call this a lose-lose situation...........But I'm still not done, I still have another debt I haven't settled."
'Pa' Asuka pointed downwards.
Deen nodded towards Asuka's instruction and placed Ratten down.
After being released, Ratten pulled her knees together, trying to stand up with her shaking legs, before collapsing to the ground. Her white clothes have been stained with blood, and towards Asuka who did not deliver the finishing blow, cast a look of doubt.
"What.......What are you saying......?"
"Do you remember? A week ago, I lost to your rat manipulation. In other words, the last debt needs to be settled.......to put it bluntly, is to hear you play a tune."
Asuka sat down on Deen's huge palm, and pointed at Ratten with her slender fingers.
"Let's play a game, I will allow you to play a song. You will try to play a tune that could charm my Deen into obeying you."
In the line of sight of the challenge, you could identify the strong will of [Winning without a sense of accomplishment].
What Asuka meant was, she wanted to win under the same conditions, obtaining a perfect form of victory.
"........So that's how it is........"
Ratten breathed in deeply as if swallowing both air and blood, regulating to her original breathing.
"Okay.....I will accept your game, let me play a tune."
Putting the magic flute into the move, she revealed her usual mischievous smile and threw out a wink.
"Fantasia of [The Pied Piper of Hamelin], please listen quietly♪"
Part 6[แก้ไข]
Inside Hamelin city, there were three figures that were freely running around.
The trigeminal Vajra, [Mock Divinity·Vajra] that Kuro Usagi held in her hands created a thunderous roaring sound.
"Sandra-sama! Attack from behind!"
"Okay!"
The [Mock Divinity·Vajra] let out lightning.
While the [Dragon Horn] released out red lotus flames.
Pest let the dark wind surround herself like a ball and stood leisurely, blocking the two rushing attacks from both directions.
"Till now you still don't understand that there is no meaning in doing this?"
Rotating her wrist, the dark wind that Pest created separated into four tornadoes and headed towards Sandra.
Both of them kept their gifts and their distance away from Pest. From the beginning, the attack that had repeated lots of times had made Sandra anxious.
"I knew it, even with two divine gifts attacking at the same time, it will still be the same result."
"Indeed. It is obvious that she is trying to stall the time till the end of the game............But this power is quite mysterious. According to what Leticia had said, this should be a power that draws out vitality."
Kuro Usagi had a more calmer tone than Sandra's.
This was also because Pest had several spirit powers.
Kuro Usagi stopped her movements and gave the tired Sandra a glance, before questioning Pest who was on the rooftop:
"[Black Percher], your true motive....is to be a species of god right?"
"Eh?
