When you swing your sword, slashes are sent flying at the monsters.
Then the demons were cut off one by one from the front row.
It seems that none of the demons have the hardness of a dragon.
But the slashes only reach about three rows, and I had a feeling it was going to be a long battle.
''Really? ....... Anna, what's going on behind you?
I'll let Anna check the situation behind me while doing my best to keep the demons away from me with slashes.
(Yes . Shelia-sama and the others have finished moving and are now stuck between Lou-sama and Leo-sama. Lou-sama is happily using destruction magic, but there are ...... too many of them and it's too dimly lit to see in the back, so he hasn't been able to reduce their numbers that much as well as Leo-sama).
'Well, ....... This is going to be a real long game.
You don't have to worry about running out of magic, but ...... can your strength last?
Well, we'll just have to work our guts out, won't we?
SIDE: Sherry.
Dude, I don't know. I'm so scared I can't move.
You said earlier that you didn't want to be protected anymore: ...... After all, you're not just being protected anymore!
Ugh, ugh, ...... what are those demons?
It looks more ferocious than any demon in the demon book I read a long time ago .
Come to think of it, earlier Leo said that the demon was summoned from the demon world: .......
The demon king in the story lived in the demon world.
It's a place filled with so much magic, a place where the demons are far more numerous than in the human world.
There are so many demons in such a place: .......
Is this okay for Leo too?
With that in mind, I turned to Leo ...... and saw him waving his sword frantically with a bitter face.
''Even Leo is having a hard time ......
I've never seen Leo's face like that before.
Leo, who has always tried to keep me calm and not worry me at all times, is now showing his concern.
This could be a really bad idea. .......
I looked next to Leena, who sensed the same thing I did, and she was frozen with anxiety .
Belle, despite her anxious face, was bracing herself, transforming her arms to protect us.
Elsie can be found at ......
You two, get a grip!
Bang! Bang!
Miss Elsie suddenly slapped me and Leena between our cheeks with her hands.
''Hold on, please. Leo-kun and Lou-san are both fighting to protect us, right? Besides, if you have the strength to fight, why not fight? Do you want to die like this and do nothing!
Taking out a magic gun from the bag on her shoulder, Elsie-san looked into my and Leena's eyes in turn as she said that .
We stared back into Elsie-san's eyes, feeling a tingle in our cheeks.
At the same time, I felt my inner anxiety subside.
And I felt a little bit braver.
"I'm sorry. I'll fight.
Excuse me. I'll do what I can, too.
Good. That's good to see you back on your feet. Now let's go fight. Sherry, use your magic to reduce the number of demons. Leena, you'll need to help Leo and Lou regain their strength regularly. Just make sure that they have enough magic to heal themselves if they are injured.
Yes?
To Elsie's precise instructions, we quickly responded.
I think it's a waste of time, but I'll use my magic gun to cover you. I have a lot of magic stones, so I don't think my magic power will run out, but if it happens, can I ask Belle-san to supply you with magic power?
Yes. That's all right.
Thank you. Now then, Miss Shelley, you may begin your attack.
I understand.
After replying to Elsie, I took out my wand and fired my best lightning magic at the horde of demons with all my strength .
''Please! Hit it!
I hope so.
Baan!
When the magic struck the demons ...... they flew away with a tremendous explosion sound.
No, no. ....... Did my magic work on the demons?
The demons that were hit by my magic died properly!
That's great. But there are still a lot of demons out there, so don't let your guard down!
Yes, sir.
I was happy to hear Elsie's praise, and from then on, I continued to defeat the demon without feeling anxious or nervous .
SIDE: Leons.
I wonder how long it's been since we started fighting: .......
Maybe an hour.
There's no end in sight.
Slash and slash, the demons will still come from the back.
Still, thanks to Shelly and the others, that's a bit of relief.
As I thought, Shelly's magic is amazing.
My confidence grew after the first attack and since then she has helped me reduce the number of demons.
Leena's holy magic was also very helpful.
Thanks to her, I can move without feeling tired after more than an hour.
It's really thanks to you, Elsie.
If you hadn't inspired the two of us to freeze in fear and anxiety, someone, if not all of us, would be dead right now.
The attack of the magic gun was somehow working too.
With the large number of magic stones and the replenishment of ammunition from Bell's magic, you don't have to worry about running out of ammunition, so you were able to defeat the demons reasonably well.
But ...... all four of us are about to run out of magic power.
It's just that me and Lou are cheats, and they usually run out if you use them.
It's safe to assume that there will be no more support from the four of us in a short while.
''Anna. How much do you have left?
(That's about a quarter of the original.)
Oh, you'll have to put up with that for another 20 minutes?
That's about it, even if I lost support from Leena, I wonder if she'll be able to keep her strength up.
(Just a few slow-moving demons are approaching from further back.
'Oh my God, I'm so scared! You're definitely strong!
d*mn it, ...... you have to have the energy left to fight them too. .......
And they're definitely strong!
'What do you have in mind ......? Oh, I've got an idea.
I grinned as I spotted a pile of corpses in front of me and some of the magic stones I could see from them .
''Shelly!''
What?
I didn't turn around and spoke to Shelly, but I heard her reply from behind me.
"From now on, I'm going to stop attacking. In the meantime, can you use all of your remaining magic to attack me instead?
Okay, okay.
Okay, three, two, one. You can take turns!
With that, I quickly crouched down and put my hands on the ground.
Magic flew over my head, but with Shelly in control, I didn't have to worry.
With that in mind, I used my creation magic on the dead monsters.
I imagine a golem.
I hope it helps a little.
Then the demons I cut down began to glow and transform.
The corpses stuck together and parted ways repeatedly, and before I knew it I had created many monsters.
