I won’t mind how I suddenly wanted to die for some reason. I totally didn’t do something like hear Yuri Roll’s words after all.
I was about to reflexively go and escape from reality from the ambush from an unexpected place but, this is where I should endure and be in Serious Mode.
But, just what should I do~. I can jump but it’s not like I can fly in the sky……For now, I guess I’ll “get it back”.
「Open, Door of the Empty Space 『Dimension Gate』」
When I muttered that in the modern Ishrel language, a faint light ran in a line across the black “fingerless” glove on my right hand.
When it did, after the momentary luminescence, the treasured sword that had linked to my right hand, the intertwined twin sword『Carbunculus』 had appeared.
That’s right, the thing that had taken out the Dragon Zombies that were chasing Mana and the others just a while ago was this.
Connecting the pommels and turning both of them in to a single sword, I threw it as a substitute for a spear.
And then, in order to recover it after throwing it, I sucked in the surrounding Maryoku and invoked the magic formation that was knitted into the glove.
Now then, for now, I guess I’ll go “kill” them.
Recognizing me as the enemy, a number of Dragon Zombies came swooping down. While jumping off from the roof of the building, I eventually chopped one down, and, using “that” as a foothold, I jumped up.
「……Toh」
While jumping into the sky with a speed like that of a rocket, I proceeded to bisect the Dragon Zombies with Carbunculus while looking like I was passing by them. Chopping down the heads and the bodies, pieces of meat were scattered in the sky.
Around the time I killed about twenty of them, after a floating sensation, I was pulled in by gravity. Several seconds after jumping, the fall began.
「At this rate, who knows how long this will take. ……In that case!」
Kicking one of the Dragon Zombies’ wings that were scattered around me and were starting to fall at about the same speed as me, I jumped not up, but in “front” of me.
And then, turning the linked sword into a “pair of swords”, I jumped “on” the “back” of an attacking Dragon Zombie.
And then, on top of the back of the Dragon Zombie, I simultaneously swung the pair of blue and green swords.
The crystal swords that should have been lightly swung, sliced the wind, and “accelerated”. What the accelerated slash had created was a shock wave.
The impact that sliced the wind, became a “blade” of a hurricane!
Rather than calling it a shockwave that was fired from the cutting of the pair of swords, would it be easier to understand if I called it a slashing wave? It’s cooler too.
That slashing wave had, starting with the Dragon Zombie under me, bisected the Dragon Zombies that had decided to aim for me and that came attacking.
「Starting off, that’s “about twenty of them”.」
◇
After that, ah, it was at that time. Cutting down the Dragon Zombies, using the corpses as a stepping stone to soar through the sky like wind, and wielding those shining twin blades, that figure was truly appropriate of the name StormBringer.
It was as if it were a windstorm that possessed a will of its own.
Soaring through the sky, the twin blades were swung about.
The sword flashes caught the Dragon Zombies, and the entangled enemies were torn to pieces in an instant.
As if drawn in by the wind, the Dragon Zombies gathered around the black clothed warrior.
Simply cutting them with a sword, with just that simple act of violence, the dead flesh of the Dragon Zombies fluttered about in the sky.
That fight that had once been overwhelming had, in just a few minutes, become one-sided.
It was the Darkness Executioner’s, the StormBringer’s victory.
「……That is, the fighting of the Darkness Executioner who was said to have driven away one of the pillars of the Six Blade Generals……!」
The sight of the Dragon Zombies’ bodies being torn to pieces and disappearing from being turned to ash in her eyes, Henrietta felt herself trembling.
Henrietta felt an emotion similar to fear of the existence that, without even using magic, was overwhelming the existence that, although they were changed into ghosts, originally hunted humans and was known as a dragon.
……The Darkness Executioner, she knew that he was not an enemy.
However, Henrietta realized that that power could only be called monstrous.
He was an existence that could exterminate mankind’s enemy, that calamitous race’s summit.
She knew that he, was truly a monster.
「It would seem that things have ended.」
「! Alicia, san?」
When Henrietta turned around from noticing that voice, the silver-haired beautiful young lady, Alicia, was there, straddling a silver Kulkel.
「Everyone, are you alright?」
「Ha, hahi! ~!!?」
「Mana had bit her tongue just now but, generally, we are fine.」
When Alicia, who was wearing a dress that had a light pink color as the basis, asked that, Mana had the broom descend to beside Alicia, and both Henrietta and Eri got off from the broom.
「AH, Alicia-san, to you as well, are you alright!? I, was worried about you!」
「Ah, ahaha…… Yup, I’m alright.」
While lightly backing away from Henrietta’s excited, rough, and ghastly appearance, Alicia replied, and then her gaze went from the tall building to surveying the vicinity to facing the Darkness Executioner that wore a black clothed overcoat.
「……W, we, were saved by that person.」
「I’m sure you were.」
「……Eh?」
Mana had explained the situation but, when it was accepted, Alicia didn’t turn her eyes away.
「………,」
「?」
The warrior that received that gaze, turned his gaze to behind him as if he had noticed something and then,
「How are things over there?」
being asked that, he immediately got down and stood next to the girls.
「There doesn’t seem to be a problem. If things stay like this, by dawn, it looks like return to the reconstruction work.」
「Fue!?」
Mana was surprised by the large built Elf man that suddenly appeared.
It was because the Elf man had stood at Mana’s back.
「! ……I didn’t notice him at all.」
「Well, it’s because I’m not so weak that I’d get exposed by you little ladies.」
Promptly, Eri stood in front of Mana and the Elf man.
「He is Gilley. A Light Elf whose origin is the Elf village called 『Wales』. He’s currently running an inn in this town.」
「Though he looks like this, he formerly had a scouting position. Erasing his presence is his specialty.」
From Alicia’s introduction, the large built Elf man, Gilley crossed his arms and smiled with a grin.
