Kirika, Nina and I were running through a small passageway which was curving around like some sort of maze.
I was running out of breath and behind us there was still an incessant rain of explosions and sounds of bullets impacting against the wall, I truly felt more dead than alive at this moment.
「Crap, we are at such a disadvantage because of this narrow pathway and the type of weapons she’s using!」
「Yes, it’s so frustrating! Even my brilliant burst that I fired out felt like such a waste!」
Kirika’s holy sword techniques, such as her brilliant burst and her Aerial Circle made use of large open spaces where she could unleash their full potential.
Furthermore, her skills were made specifically to combat demonic beings who are normally much larger in size than human beings.
Right now, our opponent was moving in a linear line towards us, and considering that she possessed an overwhelming amount of firepower she has gained complete control of the situation………We were in this small corridor with no realistic way of escaping added to the fact that because she was using physical attacks, Kirika’s magical resistance was totally useless.
Naturally, if my goal was to kill Celesta than the circumstances would be a little different. However, it was obvious that both Kirika and I, did not wish that to happen.
「Eeei, you guys are so slippery! Just give up and face me from the front like a true Knight, Kirika!」
「Umm, Someone like you who doesn’t even have a shred of their Knightly honor right now, does not have the right to say such a thing you know~!? 」
「W-what did you just say you Maid!? Stand right there and receive your punishment!」
A sound of metal being cut by some sort of chainsaw reverberated, Celesta was using some kind of assault rifle to continuously shoot at us.
She was just carelessly taking out all these firearms one after another, but it did not seem like she was going to run out of weapons any time soon.
For now, this winding maze like structure actually protected us from the shots as long as we continued to run away, however if we ever got lost and ran into a dead end, then we would probably be done for.
「Haaahm Haahaaa……I-if I can no longer run, please feel free to leave me behind……!」
「Of course we would never do that to you, Nina! Isn’t there some sort of magic you can use Odamori-kun!?」
「Even if you tell me to do something, unless we can do something about her advantageous position……..Hm? Wait a minute……If it’s at that location….!」
「Muu!? What is this place……?」
Celesta who was chasing after Tooru and the others suddenly entered a wide open space.
In front of her was a huge wall made out of wood acting like a barricade, the room was lightly lit with a bit of moonlight.
Because of the dimness of the room and how it was shrouded in steam, Celesta couldn’t grasp the precise location she was in.
「I did not think that she would be able to jump over such a high wall…… No, considering that Kirika would have had to carry two people, it should have been impossible for her to jump over this wall even with her amazing jumping power」
Celesta was on guard for any surprise attacks, and although she quickly scanned the environment, there was no sign of anything within her field of view.
Furthermore, there was no other exit in sight, what this meant was that Celesta had finally managed to corner the hateful Slavemancer into a deadend.
「In that case……I will make you come out of hiding!」
She decided promptly, and from within her magical pouch, she pulled out a large “weapon” that she hasn’t used before.
The weapon was black luster in color and it had 6 barrels bundled together filled with magazines, this is exactly what you would call a heavy firearm, embodying the image of a “Gatling gun”.
M134 Machine gun, nickname: Mini-gun.
