They’re trying to throw the battlefield into chaos! Shit, if they break our formation, we won’t be able to fix it.
This would destroy any advantage mages and archers held, and if this became a close-combat, tooth-and-nail fight, then they likely wouldn’t be able to separate themselves from the enemy until the battle was over.
If they were trained in how to handle situations such as this, as soldiers were, then things would be different, of course—
In any event, this was bad.
Accordingly, Suimei prepared to invoke his magic, when suddenly—
“In that case…”
A calm and cold voice left Lefille’s lips.
Accompanying her words, something happened.
“Wha—?!”
What did she just do?
Lefille’s surroundings suddenly began to glow with scarlet light.
A brilliant light that seemed as though it would sweep away the darkness radiated from the young girl. This light could only be described as the phenomenon commonly known as “aura”.
Concurrently, an enormous power altogether different from mana began to surge forth.
This power bathed her body, sword, and surroundings in dazzling light.
“—HAAAAA!”
Lefille slashed, as though to part to the heavens themselves.
Her sword was, of course, nowhere near long enough to reach her enemies from where she stood. As far as her enemies were concerned, she was simply slashing at the empty air. On the contrary, however, a brilliant crimson light traced the arc she drew in the air with her sword and continued onward, slicing apart all the Mazoku before her. Their corpses dropped to the ground.
Not even stopping to take a breath between strikes, she swung her sword relentlessly. As if a sudden storm, in an instant she’d attacked all the Mazoku who had encircled her with a tornado of slashes.
For these Mazoku, having misjudged her attack distance, this sword storm was an unavoidable, demonic whirlwind. Without so much as a cry, they were transformed into a pile of corpses.
“Wha…?” Suimei mumbled in shock.
The words “one-sided slaughter” passed through his mind.
The scene before him felt unreal. If he had to say why, then it was that scarlet light.
“Hey, wait…!”
From what he knew, that light was not something that could possibly be found in the physical world.
Generally speaking, unless some external factor were to directly interfere, something like that would never manifest physically.
—The cries of the others were of a different sort than Suimei’s. They, too, were unable to fully comprehend what Lefille was doing, but their shouts were of joy.
“Amazing!”
“Hey, did you see that?! Lefille used that same technique before to chop huge monster in two with one strike, you know?!”
“…That? Lefille’s used this before?”
“Eh? Yeah, she has… What about it?”
As the adventurer answered his surprised question in this manner, Suimei frowned. Perhaps because of the miraculous display happening before his eyes, he’d thought of something.
…The “huge monster” he spoke of must be the semi-giant that had been mentioned earlier.
So it’s this power that defeated that thing, huh. That makes sense. If it’s this power, then she should be able to kill most things with ease.
Just as she was at that moment.
“…So what about it? Something bothering you?”
“No, no. It’s not like that…”
It was just that both his brain and his body seemed struck dumb by astonishment. That said, shocking though it might have been, it wasn’t something to be feared.
Looking at Suimei out of the corner of his eye, a lightbulb seemed to go off in the adventurer’s brain as he called out to his companions.
“Hey, stop dawdling around! Let’s go help her!”
“Yes!”
Voices called out in agreement, not just those of the other members of his party, but the adventurers and other guards as well.
As this was happening, Lefille, still bathed in that bright red light, continued to slice the Mazoku in two with each strike of her sword.
