Legend

"Of dirt, dome?

Having wiped out the Dragon Knight, Ray had arrived at the headquarters of the Bestian Imperial Army, which was a battlefield one foot ahead of Elaine on a military horse.

When I turned my gaze from the back of Seto above me to the ground, the first thing I jumped into my eyes was a huge dome of dirt about 5m in diameter. Those in the ambush unit are attacking the dome, but most of them can only be bounced or scratched with a scratch. And in the next moment, the injured place is repaired lightly.

Because they are attacking the dome in a concentrated fashion, there are also people out there who are being attacked by the knights of the Bestian Imperial Army.

In the first place, we must quickly discuss and take prisoner General Castom, who is also the general general of the enemy, than this is an ambush. It's an ambush because most of the remaining forces in the Bestian Imperial Army are on the front line.

"... Shit, we don't have time for this."

As he looks around the ground with his tongue pounding, Seto looks at a painting on the battlefield and squeals his throat.

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

Looking over there, Ray, who felt the nuance, turned his gaze toward Seto's watcher, where Siminar, also commander of the ambush unit, was waving his sword, thinking he was a wizard and slashing his opponent. In addition, we can see them busily giving instructions to the nearby ambushes.

"Seto"

"Grr!"

I guess that one word alone figured out what Ray was trying to say. Seto rattles his throat to convey his acceptance and descends to the ground with his wings flapped.

"Ha!

Then all the while slashing off the neck of a knight in the Bestian Imperial Army with Ray's shaken Death Size blade nearby.

Behind the body of a knight who is decapitated and bleeds like a fountain, Ray reaches where Siminar is giving instructions to those around him.

"Siminar, what's the situation?

"That's not good. If we don't do something about it, we'll be out of breath."

That being said, the siminar, abominably, turns his gaze to the dome of the earth.

"... Could there be a general of the Bestian Imperial Army in there?

"Oh, they do. The general of the Bestian Imperial Army was a man named General Castom, and there was no information that he would use magic."

"The question is later. You can also see that this place is being raided by us on the front lines. It would be awkward if we didn't finish with General Castom before the troops came back from the front line."

Siminar's cheeks tighten on Ray's words, opening his mouth with his gaze toward Ray.

"Ray, can you do something about that dirt?

"Right, right. I don't know if I can do it, but I'll try as much as I can."

"Please. In the meantime, we're on this battlefield... Whoa!

In the middle of a conversation, a soldier suddenly hits Siminar with a spear in his hand.

Seeing you talk long in this battlefield, and even more so, seeing you in luxury armor, you decided you were the commander of the ambush squad. That decision wasn't wrong, and it wasn't wrong to poke a gap when we were talking. But...

"It's late."

Death size flashes with that whine. A spear held by a soldier is cut in the middle of the pattern.

"Damn, then!

A soldier who throws the remains of a spear he had, pulls his sword from his waist and slashes it to Ray. But a whipped sword tip stretched out of nowhere before its blade reached Ray severs the soldier's neck.

Linked Sword. Sometimes it was a magic item that turned into a sword, sometimes a bladed whip, and only one person used that weapon to the best of Ray's knowledge existed.

And when I turned to the flying one of the connecting swords, the person was there as expected.

"Elaine, that was fast."

"Really? I came here to defeat my enemies. What's happening more than that? They seem to be pushing me back a long time."

Whimpering, Elaine waves the connecting sword again. Stretched like a whip, the body slashes and rips off the neck of the soldier who had the bow and blows up the fountain of blood.

In addition, in the vicinity of the Rays, Seto also quickly moved, crushing the head of the knight with his forelegs, wrapping his tail around one foot of the soldier, swinging and using it as if it were a weapon.

Seto's activities and those of several adventurers who remain as escorts to the Shiminar have transformed Rays' surroundings into a kind of safety zone, which is why he could afford to talk with some calm within this battlefield.

Besides, as soldiers with spears came through earlier, it's not like it's an absolute safety zone.

A moment's view of the surroundings, Siminar calls out to Elaine.

Siminar attracted to Elaine, but I guess I just can't afford to be thinking about that in this situation. Open your mouth with a serious look.

"Lord Elaine, in that earth dome is General Castom, who is also the general general-general of the Vestian Imperial Army. But that dome is pretty tough, and it seems that some scratches have the effect of taking in and repairing the surrounding soil. So I'm going to leave it to Ray when it comes to destroying that dome. Lord Elaine wants you to use your powers as a princess general to focus on reducing the number of enemies."

"I understand. This one can't help but be smaller than being an ambush squad. Let's just say I try my best too.... Ray, I got you."

"Oh. I'll see what I can do about the dirt mass. Seto!"

"Grrrrrr!"

Seto answers Ray's call and blows up a few soldiers with a blow to the forefoot and comes straight on.

As he gently strokes his head across to his back, he leaves Elaine and Siminar on the spot for those with a dome of dirt.

On the way, some ambush troops and soldiers from the main unit swing Death Size like they were passing through the vicinity where they were fighting, slashing them as if they were passing through and providing support for their allies.

Only the awesome men who were originally chosen as ambushes did not miss that chance, and there were more places where ambushes, although short-term, had a more strategic advantage.

Elaine, who was staring from behind at one of those and one, also runs the battlefield with a military horse just wondering if she would ever lose to Ray, too.

that, in terms of pure range of attack, the articulated sword, which becomes a whipped blade, goes over the death size. You will wave that concatenated sword, give proper instructions to the allies of the ambush squad, and show your enemies and allies the awesomeness of General Princess on this battlefield, which is overwhelmingly losing in numbers.

"... this"

Ray groans and turns his gaze to the dome of dirt.

It had already come down from Seto, leaving it to Seto as far as the surrounding guards were concerned while he managed the dirt dome in question.

Now and again, he plunges his wings from above to a soldier who was pulling a bow for Ray from afar, plunging him down, swinging his forefoot down to his head and causing him to explode.

With the hustle and noise on the battlefield, Ray tries to touch the earth dome all the time...

"Chi!

At that moment when the flat hand tried to make contact with the dome, the dirt wall turned into a sharp thorn about 50 cm long and stretched through the ray.

Ray jumps backwards to distance himself from a giant thorn.

Fortunately, thorns do not fly, but revert back to being absorbed into the dome as they are.

(I didn't seem to have the means to attack when I saw it earlier... why not fly it? Can't you control it without touching this soil? No, how did you recognize me as the enemy in the first place? If you're in this dome, naturally you won't be able to see what's going on outside. No, I don't know if it's a magic or a magic item, but should we take it for granted that we're identifying enemies and allies by any means other than having such means?

Take one end distance and swing the death size quickly.

"Flying slaughter!

The flying slash released with that voice causes deep scratches to the earth dome, but it still gradually recovers rather than deep scratches enough to destroy it in one blow.

(I see, isn't the playback speed that fast?)

Ray had observed that it appeared to be collecting a little bit of the soil forming the dome to restore the wounds inflicted by the Flying Slash.

(However, the soil wall forming the dome should be thin enough to restore it. Without it...)

The next time Ray's gaze was seen was where that dome was formed, not the dome of dirt...... The ground. Naturally, it is made of ground or soil.

(In other words, is the soil consumed in the restoration replenished from the surroundings? Surely this state of affairs will allow us to carry it until reinforcements arrive. But)

That's all I think about, questions come to mind.

I was wondering if the General of the Bestian Imperial Army was hiding without commanding a defensive battle.

In a situation where only the General is hiding in an absolutely safe place, the morale of the soldiers will not really rise. In fact, the ambush units have all the skill sets, but the numbers are overwhelmingly small compared to the soldiers in the main unit. We are in a state of near reciprocity with such an ambush unit. It was an impossible thing to be honest, given the difference in power that we are purely in this place.

Most of all, it may be natural for that ambush unit not to have more morale than Elaine, who is called and feared to be General Princess, Seto of Griffon, and Ray, who once and for all made his name in this war.

(Restore anyway, but the speed of restoration itself is not that fast. Closer, they attack with thorns, but that's also not so fast in itself, and it can't be done without the soil that just creates thorns in the first place....... then there is only one thing to do. i.e.……)

Grasp the Death Size and use your magic to stare at the earth dome.

"Knock in more destructive power than the speed you restore!

At the same time as that word, Death Size swings loudly again.

Flying slaughter!

The slaughter is skipped earlier as well, scratching heavily on the earth dome again. At the same time, he kicks the ground and shrinks the distance from the dome of the earth.

I guess I somehow perceived Ray approaching. Thorns grow to intercept, but the dome itself is damaged by flying slaughter, and its repair is probably a priority. The speed of the thorns approaching Ray was clearly slower than earlier.

The moment you avoid the stretched thorn by half a turn and use its momentum to knock the Death Size blade against the dirt wall, activate the desired skill.

"Power slash!

A blow struck to the wounds inflicted by Flying Slash with the activation of a skill blows up and destroys the dirt wall rather than slashing it.

The skill of falling when it comes to the slashing flavor of a death size, but increasing the impact it gives, power slash. To its full effect, the dome of the soil cannot withstand the damage caused by the Flying Slash while it has not yet been restored, and the soil wall collapses as if it exploded with a roar around the wounds of the Flying Slash.

Still, he heads to the dirt wall he still tries to restore, slashing it many times with a death size through magic, and eventually creating a hole that leads to the space inside. Still penetrating into the dirt wall trying to restore it as it could swing its death size at any time...... what Ray saw in it was more than 20 bodies falling into the ground like it was just bones and skins and folding.

"... what?

That was just an unexpected sight, Ray, for a moment.

But one of the bodies falling to the ground. A bracelet fitted in its wrist, which is only bone and skin, pulses and at the same time feels the magic being drawn rapidly from its own body.

If that were the case, I could also imagine just about the situation that was spreading in front of me.

"Because they absorbed too much magic, they lost their magic in the dome, and they still absorbed more life. As it turns out, life sucks out to be a mummy."

Ray groans and looks to his bracelet, which is suddenly sucking away his magic.

Ray himself did not know, but the bracelet was a magic item created by the alchemists of the Bestian Imperial Army crystallizing a piece of technology, called the Behemoth bracelet. It has the effect of freely manipulating the soil, but behind the alchemists who had thought about how to use it to make spears of soil and attack enemies, they used it in a way other than what the alchemists had planned to create a huge dome, so the prototype ran wild, absorbing the magic and vitality of the user, General Castom, and even those around him, to create this catastrophe.

But even a bracelet that greedily absorbs magic can't absorb all of Ray's enormous magic...

Pickle, Pickle.

With such a noise, a crack rapidly enters the bracelet, and at the next moment it makes a noise and cracks.

At the same time, Behemoth's effect as a bracelet disappears, and the dome of the soil, which was fortified by magic, begins to collapse.

"Chi!

The moment he kicked the ground and dived through the holed dirt wall and went outside... the dirt dome was gushing and crumbling.
