Liezelotte was in the tent set up as an outdoor hospital in the mansion's garden.

Beneath her eyes lies a soldier who suffers from eating up his eyes and teeth.

The abdomen was stained bright red with blood.

"Gu... it hurts..."

An injured soldier suppresses the affected area and leaks a groan.

"Look, I'll treat you, so don't move. …" Healing Magic (Heel) ""

That's what I said, Leezelotte put her hands on the wound.

Continuing, when you cast a spell, a small magic formation emerges at the tip of your palm from which the light of healing leaks and instantly heals your wound.

"It's okay. Because the treatment will be over soon. Look, it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt."

Leezelote encourages patients to speak up even during treatment.

Less than a minute later, the wound was completely blocked and a little blood began to return to the face of the soldier stained with bright blue.

"Now you're all right."

Wiping the sweat that floated on his forehead, Leezelotte said.

Soldiers open their fearful eyes.

For a moment, staring at Blurry and Lieselotte's face,

"Oh, uh, ah! Ri, Master Lieselotte?

The soldier screamed as he was drained of his liver.

I guess I didn't even think Dew thought it was Reese Lotte who had been healing magic until now because she was the best because she could handle the pain.

"Oh, it hurts!

The soldier tried to wake his body in a hurry, but his face was distorted by the dull pain that struck his abdomen.

Leezelotte gently holds down the body of such a soldier and gently causes him to lie on the bed.

"Here. The wound's still blocked. Why don't you put some effort into your stomach? It was such a deep wound."

In a more casual tone than usual, Leezelotte tells.

"Heh, ah, thank you......"

Are you in love with Lieselotte and nervous, or bow in the way the soldier was obviously wolfy.

"Look, if you're a man, shake it off!

Rieselotte grinned, scolding the soldier.

"Yes!

Soldiers rush to reply.

"Good. Stay put for a while."

Lieselotte nods satisfactorily.

She is now treating the wounded with the healing magicians serving the Mansion.

He graduated from the Royal College of the Kingdom of Galark in the flying class, and Lieselotte was also known as a genius magician.

Unfortunately, he was not so blessed with the talent of the sword, but Lieselotte possessed a wealth of magic unlike any other human being and had the aptitude to master all sorts of magic.

Nevertheless, it is generally difficult to think about her using healing magic on wounded soldiers immediately, even assuming that she is a Duke's wife.

But Lieselotte is sweating on his forehead and curing magic without staying high.

Sometimes the gentle encouragement of soldiers and sometimes the reprimand of soldiers had definitely elevated the morale of the wounded soldiers.

In spite of incomplete healing, there are even those who are shot in the chest and try to return to the battlefield immediately.

There was someone who approached her from behind like that and spoke up.

"Dear Mr. Lieselotte"

Natalie, a direct subordinate to Liezelotte, stood ahead of her as she responded to her voice and looked back.

Why not stay next to him until Rio, who ordered me to tail him?

"Oh, Natalie......, Master Hart. How did you do?

When Rieselotte was slightly stiff, she asked the two of them for help.

"I have a case to share with you as soon as possible. We have discovered a powerful unconfirmed demon. Master Hart is here because he fought and defeated the demon."

On behalf of Natalie, who brings up the topic of single-minded immediacy, Leezelotte sharpened her eyes a little.

As soon as you orient yourself towards Rio,

"I apologize for carrying that… many times a day"

Liezelotte expressed his condolences in a frightened manner.

"No, that's fine. Although, unfortunately, there was something for the wild. Please forgive me for taking the time as soon as I report you."

While choosing the words moderately to avoid offense, Rio communicated the fact that he was still in a clear hurry first.

"I apologize for forcing you to break your bones when you are very busy. I apologize."

Liezelotte bows his head again.

"No, because that's the thing. You just have to do it quickly."

Say, Rio shook his head small.

"I understand. Nevertheless, please call me back."

and Leezerotte turns her gaze to the seat installed in the corner of the outdoor hospital.

I guess that place is also an impromptu countermeasure room now.

That's how the three decided to change their seats quickly.

In the southwest of Amando, more than a hundred demons hissed together and approached the rock house where Miharu and the others were hiding.

Auga, Hellhound, Madboa, Bear Kong -, some of the herd can see all the individuals who are considered particularly handsome among the demons attacking Amando.

"Wow, I've only seen it in books, but that's a bear Kong on Madboa, isn't it? Is it okay to be surrounded by so many demons, Isiah?"

Celia asks Isiah with a grin drawn from the fact that there are particularly troublesome demons in the literature and other stories.

"It's okay. I'm going to use a big spiritual technique now to signal the Spring Man, so just meditate on your eyes as we meet"

Saying so, Isiah squeezes her right hand softly over the sky.

The next moment, the light exploded.

Columns of light appear to penetrate the sky, scattering the running streams of Odd and Mana all around.

The columns vanished in an instant, as did the light that had surrounded them.

"I should have passed it on to the Spring Man now"

The spiritual technique that Isiah has just used is a means of transmission like wolf smoke that she had arranged in advance with Rio.

Light columns do not exist for enemies more than blind, but they can take advantage of the running of Odo and Mana and tell them that anomalies have occurred for Rio up to a distance of about fifty kilometers radius.

However, because it consumes quite a bit of odds, it is not possible to outburst away from Rio.

Whatever demons were holding back on the back, the demons that were out front were blinded and powerless by sudden flashes of light.

Some individuals are probably temporarily blind.

"From now on I will focus on defense. As per the meeting, Celia attacked the demons with magic."

"Copy that!

When Celia replies nicely, a gust winds around her, and the gigantic storm junction envelops Isiah and the others.

"" Multiple Earth Spear Magic (Multi Earth Lance) ""

Touching the earth, when Celia cast a spell, a great magic formation emerged directly beneath some of the demons that were swarming forward.

Without her hair in between, countless earthspears grow from the ground, as if they were palm seals, poking at the demons.

Demons deprived of their sight and unable to move were unsuitable to escape attack range in a short amount of time to activate.

"Gah."

Ambitious screams leak from the demons.

When the spear of earth stabbed the demons to death, it scattered like a crystal.

"Gugah!"

A rear orga, who was out of the magic range, throws a wooden spear at Celia in anger.

The spear stretched straight and seemed to pierce Celia's luxurious torso if it flew as it did.

But the next moment...

"Gah?"

The orbit of the spear deviates so heavily that it arcs, flying in the direction of the day after tomorrow.

The storm's boundaries, which unfolded to protect the house, dramatically derailed the spear's orbit.

Iron walls like turbulence reject all approaching beings.

Then, all of a sudden, the blades of the wind with magic were scattered from the storm's junction.

The magical wind blade precisely prunes the neck of the orga and captures the bodies of the other demons precisely.

"G, Gugi......"

Some of the demons were trying to get close, but at the expense of their blades, their bodies are cut off.

Once again, the carcasses of the one and the demons increased, and more than thirty demons were already killed and turned into demonic stones.

"As long as I can count on you!

Loosen her cheeks, Celia said forcefully.

Isiah is even doing a good offense while I say we focus on defense.

There are still hundreds of demons pushing each other in front of you, but you don't feel any danger at all.

It is the iron rule that rear-guard sorcerers are eliminated in battle, but Celia can use magic safely.

The type of magic that causes the magic formation to float in front of the surgeon and activate the raised event is inhibited by the wind junction, but if the surgeon arbitrarily designates the activation point of the magic formation, it can unilaterally attack.

Remote activation of the magic team is very advanced technology, but Celia, called genius, can do it without difficulty.

"" Ice Column Rain Magic (Icicle Rain) ""

Put your palms in the sky and Celia casts a spell.

Then, a few seconds later, a magic formation emerged over the demon's head and a sharp ice-cold (hard) poured down.

"Gugga."

When I skewered the bodies of the demons who were clustered in one place, the ice spears were brittle and crushed.

Even then, while being careful with the magic used to prevent damage from happening around the house, the magic of ranged attacks is used to reduce the number of demons at once.

"You've lost count."

Celia shrugged as she looked around.

Already the herd of demons has been reduced in number to less than half the original.

At this rate, we should be able to wipe them out in less than enough time at best.

"What the hell are these guys? I don't really think it's just a coincidence that so many demons are attacking us. The junction stays activated, doesn't it?

Ask Isiah next door as Celia clouds her face.

"Yeah. Someone's neutralizing the junction from a little further away. Now you can temporarily assume the junction is nullified."

Isiah replied with a clear shake of her head.

"So this is something someone intentionally caused. I don't know what the purpose is or how to make a monster out of it, but it's a good joke."

said Celia, pointing her mouth.

"It looks like he's watching us from afar."

"Hmm. What is the purpose?

"Come on? Do you want to be sure after you defeat the demons that are here?

While maintaining his spiritual skills, Isiah tilted (cowled) her neck with a cool face.

"Right. I don't have Rio, and I don't want to go deep. You can't leave me alone."

Say, Celia said, "Huh," and sighed.

"Mm-hmm. Then I'll just take down the demon here"

Isiah nods small.

Then the wind covering the perimeter blew away and the blade of the magical wind splashed again.

He's running around screaming, but the blade of the wind is mercilessly mowing the lives of the demons.

"Ha, you lose confidence. Could Rio be as easy as this?

Squeeze, Celia leaks a bitter laugh.

You can't imitate like Isiah on your own when you're told you're a genius magician or something.

From what I've heard from Rio, magic and spirituality are similar and non-existent, so it's inevitable, but even if I can use spirituality, I guess I can't imitate it like Isiah.

Celia is not willing to learn too much spirituality because she has already mastered magic in the first place, and spirituality is difficult to use if she is to live in the realm of the human race.

Since he was at Royal College, Rio said he could handle spirituality.

I fear for the spiritual power that blinded the surrounding nobles and hid the spiritual art without ever using the power of the table in college, while being made virtual that magic could not be used by the surrounding nobles.

(but you could have told me about it)

I don't have to, but I somehow don't care what I was hiding, and I want to try to persevere.

I was wondering if the relationship of trust that Rio and I had built after more than five years was to that extent.

But Celia got kind of strangely happy when she found out again that Rio was decently strong and that she was in battle.

Then, there,

"Gah."

The demons, who had slammed into it, were gushed and rose high in the sky.

"Spring people can do this much too"

"As long as it's reliable."

Celia smiled furiously at Isiah, who replied pompously.

Reyce watched as Isiah and the others peered from the sky as they fought.

"Hmm. Wouldn't you still be up against those demons to that extent? I've come to feel the signs of a strong spirit, but I didn't know human-shaped spirits were in places like this."

I look at Isiah softly and narrowly.

"It's hard to assume that you're wielding all that power without a contractor, but that magician using magic won't be a contractor, and is he hiding inside that house?"

Reyce shrugged as she put her hand on her chin and showed her how to think.

It would be quite troublesome to assume that the human spirit had a contract with someone who could provide enough magic to harness his power to the fullest.

But you can't peep to the bottom of that power just because you bumped a bunch of demons to that extent as a power reconnaissance.

At best, I could see that the contractor was supplying me with magic.

It will be necessary for Reis to go out on his own to confirm his true power.

"But if there's a decent contractor, it's not going to be in my hands, so hey. Shall we just assume that there is such a presence? They'll be aware of this one, too, and we'll get away with it in a little while."

With a mocking (bruised) grin, Reyce now often decided to observe Isiah's power.

"Thank you for sharing your valuable information."

Upon finishing hearing any necessary stories from Rio, Liezelotte bowed deeply.

Though he behaves resolutely, he can see the slightest colour of fatigue on his face.

That's not impossible either.

Honestly, the newly emerged demon named Ghoul was a troubling being.

Physical ability, unusual resilience, belligerent and ferocious temperament far outweighing biological human beings.

Nor can we ever ignore the combat abilities that are exerted in their totality, but from the Lieselotte it is not there that is the most troublesome.

What really bothers me is that Ghoul exposed people when he died.

Humans become demons - and if that's true, it's really a matter of liberation.

If you don't understand the conditions for becoming a demon, you can't deny the possibility that a human being around there suddenly becomes a demon, and you can't even know how to undo it.

As with autopsies to obtain information, Ghoul is completely blocked because he has left behind the demon stone to become ash and vanish, and the remaining demon stone is nothing but a normal substitute for his size and purity.

At a stage when the crusade of demons is incomplete, it makes no sense to proceed with speculation, and as a result, only the seeds of mental fatigue and anxiety will remain, clouding your forehead.

"Thanks to you, we were able to quickly notify you of what to do when a similar demon appeared in the city."

Lizelotte said with the utmost grin to dispel such worries.

It is not a question of being able to leave it altogether, beyond the fact that some places may already be too late, but it is not too late.

Natalie is now pushing back, including by telling her to convey Ghoul's information to every part of the city that defends her.

By now it would be about the time I had finished disseminating information to all parts of the city using a biographical dove.

"No, thank you very much."

and Rio shakes his head (wears it) to answer his thanksgiving words.

His mental health is less favourable if he stays in this setting longer than he needs to finish the story.

Therefore, I am anticipating the time to return home, but is it because of Rio's mind that the kind of gaze he seeks help from Lieselotte is somehow directed?

From Lieselotte's point of view, this should be the kind of situation I'd like to borrow with a cat's hand right now.

Nevertheless, Rio cannot force the battle in this situation any more than he is neither an adventurer nor a soldier in this city.

It was probably a difficult air to bring up the story because Rio put me in the first place to put up a line of prevention so that I could take the negotiations.

Is Rio seeing through such circumstances or not?

"Then I'll do it."

With that said, I missed my gaze from Lieselotte, who gives me a glimpse of the worrying face.

"Yes. No demons seem to have broken into the nearby residential neighborhood, but it's dangerous outside. Unfortunately, the security of the mansion is lacking, and we cannot escort you..."

It's bad for Lieselotte, who also looks slightly depressed, but I'm not going to lend Amando's defense any more than I need from Rio than I care about the safety of Miharu and the others, even though Isiah is at the escort.

"No, that's fine. Just how you feel."

Saying so, Rio rose out of his seat with his hips floating.

"Be careful"

"Yeah. Well, sooner or later, again"

Leaving word of farewell, Rio followed the tent of an outdoor hospital.

Lieselotte drops off the rear walking down the paved garden path.

That's how we're about twenty meters away from each other.

"And it's an enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

A soldier watching the gate jumped into the garden with his voice up.

Reese Lotte changes her expression haha.

The air in the mansion also panicked at once.

Soldiers are desperately turning their screaming attention to alert those in the mansion's garden.

And so a soldier came into the garden from the gate, and approached Rio,

"The monster that's approaching us."

A soldier screamed to tell him something.

but when the black ghoul came down from the sky in an instant, it gently blew the soldier's body into a horizontal sword.

Five gools coming down, winging their bat-like backs a little late.

It's more accurate to say that you can't fly very well or you're jumping rather than flying in.

"Miscellaneous Fish Ga"

Black Ghoul is watching the blown up soldier as he leaks his guerraggera and creepy laughter.

You died instantly from the current blow, the soldier's body doesn't even move with Pickle.

Rio frowned thinly at the sight.

"N. Ng?

Fu, the figure of Rio, who was at the end of his eyes and nose, shows up in the sight of a black ghoul.

Then I fished my mouth happily for what I thought.

"Ku, ku, ku, ku, ku, hu, hu, hu!

A black ghoul leaks an exhilarating laugh like crazy.

"O maje, doucite coconiil?

Rio leans (hides) his neck to the questions thrown at him.

Because I don't remember Rio having such a presence and facial knowledge.

"Chip. Shit ga. I, Nokotnad, have eyes for Nimonaitka."

Tongue-beating, black ghouls - beings who were once men named Alphonse abominably distorted their faces.

Now he has become a demon and has been transformed into a different being from man, and his face has changed so badly that the one close to him can gaze and see for the first time.

Hence there is no reason for Rio to recognize Alphonse, but he may have been so contaminated with his spirit that he didn't even know that.

Then, there,

"That's..."

Rio glanced at the sight of a pillar of light rising from the southwest woods.

I feel a wave of odds and mana a little late.

Then Rio's face tightened so tightly that he sharpened his gaze.

"Hun. Extra Findings toha extra dana. Ma, yi."

Alphonse snorts in a grumpy manner.

"Oi. Two soconos, assoconiil woman captured raetecoi. I, Ga, kill Lucara, kill Snayo."

To the two ghouls behind him, Alphonse snoozed his jaw (chin).

Leezelotte looks at the situation as if he had been vigilant from afar.

"Three residual linos, I'll cover Shiro. Rowk...... ugh. Run, Gasna!"

As he ignored Alphonse, who kept talking in front of him, Rio rushed sideways using his enhanced physical abilities.

Immediately react and Alphonse also moves.

The rest of the gools also started acting as ordered earlier.

The three ghouls track Rio with Alphonse and run out for the two ghouls to capture Lieselotte.

"I won't let you!

Cozette and Natalie, who were returning as escorts, dived in between to thwart the ghouls approaching Lieselotte.

Thus begins the battle between two samurai and two ghouls.

"Chi, chocolate macato!

On the other hand, Rio chose to flee without hesitation in order to avoid a troublesome battle, but the obstruction of the Ghouls led by Alphonse was more depressing than I thought.

Alphonse is even more physically capable than other ghouls, and looms at a rate comparable to Rio, where he is also physically stronger apart from his physical abilities in spiritual arts.

Originally it was necessary to get out of the mansion through the side of Alphonse and the others, so much so that Rio, who had moved out earlier by a slightly traveled loss, was chased away.

"Shit."

Slightly in a hurry, Rio pounds his tongue.

"Kuha, kuhaha, kuhaha! Scary squid? Life begging silo. Sousleva suke keteyaranaikotomonaizzo?

With that said, Alphonse is trying to pierce Rio's body by sticking his sharp nails out.

With Alphonse chasing after him and launching an attack, other ghouls have quickly caught up with Rio and launched an attack.

Surrounded by a total of four ghouls, Rio sighs abominably.

"O former Galian Reteita women Hadousita? Ano women before Sebao, Keteyaro. What, peace of mind Shilo. Toys Nishite Taplito Cute Gatteyal"

Rio frowns slightly at Alphonse, who speaks with a sadistic grin.

It was Rio, who had struck four ghouls as fierce as a storm and was being driven into battle defense, but when he stepped backwards and kept his distance, he pulled out his sword.

"Hung, Doo Chi Ninataka. Foolish Kana."

Feeling the tingling and intimidating Rio's temper on his skin, Alphonse lifted his eyes uncomfortably.

…………

The battle began as Rio took a step forward, looking at the Ghouls in silence.
