On the protective wall of the Sacred Capital, guard soldiers were rushing around.
As usual, I looked around at night and the Holy Cross disappeared without any foretaste.
Follow the emergency manual and hurry to consolidate your defense. But its defensive guiding principles presupposed the maintenance of the Holy Crossing.
There is no such thing as what to do when the Holy Cross disappears in the manual. Until today, there has never been a day when the Holy Cross disappeared.
If it had not been protected by the Holy Order, the Holy Capital would have been almost defenseless.
Though there are high and robust protective walls, there are not many soldiers to protect it.
There is a holy junction that refuses even the devil's intrusion. Furthermore, this is Sanktam, the Holy City, where the Great Temple where the Creating God was worshipped is located.
There was an alarm that whoever was to be taken by the devil could not have a hand in this holy capital.
In fact, the Virgin was frequently attacked by demons, but because trust in God could waver, such facts were never communicated to the inhabitants of the Holy Capital or to soldiers in general.
That is why the soldiers were upset when they confirmed the countless shadows in the meadows visible in the distance.
Something is on its way to this holy capital.
The head of defense on the western side of the Holy Capital - where the meadows can be seen - called a wizard to make him shoot a light bullet.
A light bullet emitted by a wizard can be bounced over a meadow.
The light lit up a handful of demons.
"Oh, no."
"What is that number of demons!?"
"Here... are you on your way to the Holy Capital?
"Now the Holy Cross is gone. It's over. There's no way I can stop that."
"Calm down! The Holy Crossing will always be fixed by the Virgin. We do everything in our power to keep the demons out of the Holy City!
The head of defense manages to get the soldiers who butt in to his place. But it was clear that only soldiers here now would find it difficult to even buy time.
That's why I was sending my men to get reinforcements.
There was no respite.
"─ Higgu"
A sharp nail tore the neck of a wizard who emitted a light bullet.
A few demons flew in and attacked us. A wizard who activated magic and caught the attention of demons has become its first victim.
"So, enemy attack! All hands, intercept!!"
That's where the mess started.
The soldiers involved in the defense of the Holy Capital are naturally also trained against demons. If they are D-rank demons, they can be crusaded individually.
But all the demons that flew in were demons above the C-rank.
"Gu, Elektraw, there are so many..."
A thunderous crow flies at high speeds among the soldiers. Even if you don't touch that demon, just passing nearby makes your body paralyzed and difficult to move.
Harpy attacked the female-faced bird demons who slowed down their movement.
Harpy is a C-rank demon, but he's not that strong. Being intelligent in using weapons and magic sets the danger higher.
But for the soldiers whose bodies were slowing down with the electricity entangled by Elekrow, Harpy waving the sword he grabbed with his feet as he flew freely around the air was a threat.
A soldier who managed to put his sword on a demon flying around at high speeds in an attempt to defeat the troublesome Elektrow first was struck by an electric shock enough to scorch him.
Elektrow is a magic, bow and arrow, a demon that should be defeated from a distance. But the speed of flight is so fast that its magic and bows and arrows don't hit it.
And there are dozens more.
Fewer and fewer people were able to move on the protective wall.
"Come on, you! Shoot as flashy magic into the sky as you can!! Let the whole city know what the emergency is!!"
The head of defense gave instructions toward the surviving wizard.
There was an alarm to inform the emergency, but it had already been destroyed by the demons.
The mere fact that the demon is highly intelligent doesn't explain it. There's no way I can come up with a C-rank or B-rank demon, such as destroying an alarm first.
There must be someone in command of these demons.
The forecasts of the Head of Defense will prove correct in the worst possible way.
"That's no good. Give me some more time."
My hand was piercing the wizard's abdomen, which was about to unleash magic against the sky. When he was pulled out of that hand, the wizard collapsed with a zurli.
Soon the head of defense and the man who appeared behind the wizard killed the wizard.
"If you're going to give despair or fear, it's good to show off your march... because this time the Lord's command is to ravage the Holy City. I still don't want to be disturbed."
Even though the alarm was not ringing, a rather intense battle was taking place over the protective wall. Yet this noise has not been transmitted to the settlement, which is a short distance from the protective wall.
As a matter of fact, this man, the demon Guscion, was developing a line of perception inhibition around this protective wall. Because of this, it looked like the same protective wall from the neighborhood.
The time was close to midnight, most of the inhabitants of the Holy Capital were asleep, and none of them noticed that the Holy Crossing was disappearing.
Nor had his men, whom the head of defense had sent to tell him of the emergency, nor several soldiers who had fled fear, been able to reach the settlement.
They were hunters.
Behind the head of defense, another demon appeared.
"I killed all the people who were moving out of this place."
"Oh, good luck. All you have to do... is you."
If you noticed, the only person standing was the head of defense.
"Damn, that's it!
The head of defense waves his sword toward the demon who first showed himself. He was powerful enough to defeat B-rank demons.
The demon took his sword with one finger.
And when he was promoted to head of defense, he was easily broken by the demon by the proud sword blessed by the Virgin.
"Oh, my God."
"Pretty good muscle. By your family's standards, what's your B-rank? But not my enemy."
The head of defense's heart breaks.
Hundreds - no, a thousand demonic armies heard footsteps coming towards the Holy Capital.
In front of me, there are two such monsters that no matter how many dozen I am, I am no match for them.
I haven't even been able to keep the city informed of this yet.
If we do not call this situation hopeless, what can we describe it?
The head of defense dropped his weapon and poked him in the knee.
"Holy Virgin...... I'm sorry"
"It's too early to give up."
─ ─ !?
The head of defense, who thought he was the only one alive on the protective wall, is surprised to hear from behind.
When he turned around, there was one woman standing.
It was an unsporting beauty on this battlefield where countless corpses roll.
In her hand is held an unfamiliar curved sword.
"You, how did you get through my junction?
"The junction?... Oh, there was some kind of nasty membrane, is that what you mean? Then I killed him."
"Slashed, you say?
"And as you may not have noticed... you've already slashed it."
"Nah..."
The demon who came first to this occasion was chopped to pieces. At the same time, the regeneration of the flesh begins, but too many places have been slashed, which seems to have reached the regeneration limit as soon as possible.
The demon vanished into black smoke.
Who are you? What the hell did you do to my countrymen!? "
"I'm Tina-Ernor. It was originally named Tina-Harribel. If you're a demon, doesn't this name sound familiar?
"Tina-Harribel," he said.
Murder leaks from the demon.
For all demons, Tina was a deal of hatred.
"Then the question is, what did you do... I slashed it. Like this..."
Tina's hand with the sword disappeared.
Slaughter flies from a sword waved so fast that it appears to have disappeared.
It is Hart's master of swordsmanship, her - Tina, the world's most powerful swordsman, carried out the ultimate swordsmanship, the Fiery Sky Slash, with a weapon given to her by God.
Countless blades of vacuum easily slashed and tore apart the flesh of demons that could not even be scratched by a coarse swordsman.
The second demon also vanished with his hatred for Tina, without uttering a single word, just like the earlier demon.
