However, this lukewarm method was t

However, this lukewarm method was the most useful in this situation. The bright red bullet fired by Donner momentarily cut through the space and pierced the forehead of one of the frenzied, cutlass swinging soldier. Without stopping, the bullet hit the soldier behind the previous one, too, and their bodies instantly dispersed.

"Kaori! We are going to jump! Don't bite your tongue!"

"Eh? —Kyaaaaa!!"

It would be troublesome if they were surrounded on the deck, so Hajime jumped using "Aerodynamic" while embracing Kaori. Kaori screamed from the powerful momentum.

Kicking the soldier on the crow's nest, Hajime landed in one of four crow's nest on the masts.

Below them, the frenzied soldiers were looking up at Hajime and Kaori with bloodshot eyes.

Even though there were the enemies from other countries, too, somehow some of the men were targeting Hajime and Kaori. Moreover, the ones targeting them didn't have any distinction between allies and enemies. Their numbers keeps increasing one after another just like a bad case of contagious virus.

Before even a moment passed and in front of their own enemies, the soldiers suddenly stopped moving and twisted their heads, staring at Hajime and Kaori. They immediately came crowding towards the two like a horror movie. The frenzied air even made Kaori pale.

"Now then, what shall we do to get out of this disgusting space?"

"... Maybe there's something like... an exit?"

"We are in the middle of the sea, you know?"

"Maybe there's an exit in one of these ships? ... see, something like wherever door."

Kaori recalled and compared it to the convenient tool of the blue cat robot. Looking at the surroundings, Hajime frowned and objected her idea because the ships were too numerous.

"... From what I can see, there's at least six hundred ships here... it's impossible to search one by one. Don't you think we'll be able to find the exit faster if the war ended?"

"Umm~, indeed, there are also the sunken ship... Then, shall we...end the war?"

"End it... I see, time to kill everyone, huh? Kaori also can say something extreme, eh."

"Eh? Umm, I don't mean that..."

"Yup, that must be it. No other thing comes to my mind, and I like it better this way."

Firing bullets of magic power and shooting through the several soldiers climbing using the ropes on the mast, Hajime thought it would be better if he had make a magic gun. He thought so while he continued firing the bright red bullets along with "Remote Control" derived from "Magic Power Manipulation," making them intercepted the incoming flame bullets.

"Kaori, I know you aren't proficient in offensive magic, but even healing magic becomes offensive magic here. And even if we don't know how to escape from here, it is the truth that we are being attacked, so let's knock them all down."

"O-Okay!"

Hearing Hajime's words, Kaori began her chant with resolute expression while trembling. The frenzied battlefield seemed to shave off at Kaori's mind, but she absolutely didn't want to show a disgraceful behavior to the important one beside her.

Hajime was glaring at the surroundings as if protecting her.

Looking down, allies and foes were mixed as they boarded the ship, killing each other. Unlike what happened when Hajime and Kaori attacked, the killing in this illusion was full of bloodshed.

On the deck were someone's entrails, cut limbs, and splattered heads. Everyone was repeatedly shouting "For the God," "Pagan," and "Divine Punishment," with frenzied eyes as they spread killing intent.

Within the fresh blood of the soldiers scattered just like a storm of cherry blossom, the crow's nest where Hajime and Kaori, no, it was more like the soldiers were obstinately targeting Hajime and Kaori.

Time to time, bright red bullets flew about in all directions, shooting through the enemies. Furthermore, they flew around Hajime and Kaori to protect them, positioned as both offense and defense at the same time.

However, the frenzied soldiers weren't even worried, repeatedly attempted suicide attacks. Tens of the soldiers used flight magic while there were those who approached by going from one mast to another. It could be seen that the fight was concentrated on the ship where Hajime and Kaori rode. Hajime's Magic Eye also caught the fluctuation of magic power of highest-ranked magic from the hand of the magicians aiming at them.

At the time, Hajime thought of sniping them, but Kaori's chant ended and she activated highest-ranked magic of her.

"— — people, held out your arms as this is the place where Holy Mother smiling at, "Scripture"!"

Then, ripple of light spread into the battlefield with Kaori as its center.

The ripple throbbed as it expanded for so so many times, reaching one kilometer in radius. The enemy who touched by the ripple was wrapped by light.

Highest-ranked healing magic of light attribute, "Scripture."

It was a super wide-ranged healing magic with effect of healing everyone inside its area. The range itself was depended on the amount of user's magic power and proficiency, but at its worst, its effective range was 500 meters in radius. Moreover, if the user gave out the "sign" beforehand, it would be able to heal specific object. And normally this magic was used with tens of magician, and took a lot of time to chant along with its stupidly gigantic magic array. To be able to activate it in only one, two minutes alone was impossible unless one was a cheat-like character.
