"Sorry, I couldn't stop you!

As soon as Yu starts questioning Effinia, Randolph rushes over looking in a hurry. Other adventurers, who were escorting Effinia, also gather as they lay down their weapons.

Seeing where all the gear is dirty with less, not only did they seem to have been pulled apart by surprise, but they couldn't seem to keep up with the monsters they encountered along the way.

"I thought I'd miss it if it was a little bit, but if you're clearly aiming at this one, and you're intentionally trying to outburst the magic, then your supervisory responsibilities will come out, too?

"I'm so sorry..."

Yu flattered me, and I just have to apologize while I get smaller, Randolph. I know it's what my kids did, I didn't think I'd do it that far, and I know that excuses like that don't work, and I'm not willing to make excuses.

Assuming that when we are in the opposite position, we will never hear that excuse.

Tifa sees such an interaction between Yu and the adventurer, Effinia, with a somewhat troubled face.

Although there was no real harm, I know that you can never forgive Effinia for what she did at this stage, but I can't help but feel uncomfortable when I can continue talking about it while creating serious air for the adults.

At present, there is nothing like Tifa pinching his mouth, and there is no better way to handle things than to just follow the law lightly.

While I'm having trouble figuring out what's going on, if I just continue to be alert to monsters, something abruptly cold runs down my spine.

"Resist Mental!

Reflectively, Tifa activates the elementary Spiritual Resistance Enhancement magic at all costs to enhance everyone on the spot. Keep going, activate the elementary mental defense magic, and protect everyone in the same way.

"Coming! Put some effort into your belly and eat your teeth off!

Yu moves to a position where he strengthens his guard with care about two beats faster than Tifa responds and subtly shelters Tifa, raising a warning voice.

At the same time, the space sways small and emerges as something creeps out.

Something that came out was two-dimensional everywhere.

"... hey, what is this guy..."

"Everything, nothing, no matter where you look from, it's a demon god, right?

"A demon god? This guy...?

"Oh. Now let's talk about one thing, desperate?

Weirdly casual, approaching me with an atmosphere and movement that I would like to describe as, for once, human shaped, but no matter how I look from anywhere, Yu says something noisy with a cold sweat in front of an unnatural brush line with zero thickness, as usual expression.

Its demon god is as big as a human being. The color of the line is black. Its appearance, composed exclusively of contour lines, was a very odd sight because it could only be described as unusual and it was moving like a creature.

Tifa reacts first to that word.

"... Could it be that... you can't defeat me?

"Oh. Unfortunately, this guy is a demon classified as intermediate in our ancient nest, strong enough to compare to the last one that surged near Alto. That's all I can do about it, but with the gear I have now, it's not completely compatible."

"Incompatible......"

"This guy doesn't know anything about bare hands or any kind of attack that could be classified as fighting. Also, other than how to focus on a magic weapon made exclusively against demons, or directly into their souls with your bare hands, Intermediate and Above can do more damage than defeat them."

To that word, Tifa understands the seriousness of the situation.

Yu's weapon is just a sturdy sword, not even ordinary magic, as opposed to a magic weapon dedicated exclusively to the demon god.

And when no bare-handed attack makes sense, no Yu attack makes sense.

"... Mr. Yu, what about magic?

"That's a subtle place. At least not with the magic I can use."

He noticed something, and Yu and Tifa continue to consult in a dry voice, observing the demon god who suddenly starts walking up the ruins building and twisting the wall.

There, the leader of the Effinian escort pinches his mouth.

"The only way out, you mean?

"Don't be. Or if you stop for a week or so, you'll be back where you were."

"Don't be impotent... You won't be able to hold off for a week on your own, and even if we get such a powerful mental defense that we don't think it was just elementary magic, if we stay alert, our hearts are going to stop..."

"I guess. Perhaps without the magic of Tifa earlier, he would have followed the same fate as that Gremlin all but me and Tifa"

Ahead of Yu pointing that way is the appearance of Gremlin, who cannot withstand the pressure and life force absorption of the demon god and becomes two-dimensional and vanishes in no time.

The leader of the escort who watched it blues his face even more.

"Fortunately, that one seems less aggressive in itself, so it would be possible to maintain the status quo to some extent, unless you give it a little bit of a bad"

"Not aggressive? With that?"

"He himself hasn't made an offensive attack yet. Until now, it's just like we have a temperature, it's just the ecological trait of a demon god."

"Are you serious..."

"Oh. In the first place, even if it's light, I'm sorry if the demons attacked it with this degree of damage"

"Instead, if the demon gods were in a combat position, you wouldn't be able to afford to talk this relaxed."

"Right."

Hear Yu and Tifa's words, what the heck. That, along with the adventurer crushing in a dry voice.

Even Randolph, who would have seen numerous training grounds as a journalist, does not seem to have experienced the irrationality of just being on the spot causing devastating damage.
