Episode 84: The Battle of the Back Gate

"'Flame Rays (Heat Laser)'!

Flames are emitted in a straight line from your fingertips.

crowd of demons in front of you, and point that fingertip at the enemy soldiers.

This magic can produce thermal rays in the direction you point your finger at while you're out.

The flame rays condensed to the extreme are very penetrating and easily tear apart demons and people's bodies.

Just lean a little flaming light and the demons and people's bodies are torn apart.

We have to be careful not to hit our allies, and if we hit the building, the fire will rise, so we need to be even more careful, but it's very strong magic.

It was a move that Captain Anne taught me before.

"Tina Aulin, well done! Back off!

"Yes!"

I lost quite a bit of magic because I built up magic and then unleashed this magic.

Stand down immediately and let the seniors unleash their next magic.

I soon start saving magic again.

Where I am now is the back gate of the royal palace.

There were many demons and enemy soldiers here, fighting to keep them from breaking into the royal palace.

The explosion that just happened brought the enemy all the way here at once.

There are two gates into the royal palace, the main gate and the back gate.

The main entrance is bigger, which means enemies are easier to break into. There is Captain Anne over there.

This one has no captain or deputy captain.

I don't know where Captain Yelle is, but this is the situation. You must be doing what only the captain can do.

I, too, have to do what I can.

If we don't guard this back gate now, this King Begonia capital will be corrupted.

If they enter the royal palace and kill His Majesty Leonardo, this country will be just as defeated.

Not one demon or one enemy soldier has yet been placed inside the royal palace from here.

But it could be just a matter of time.

There are starting to be more soldiers and demons on the enemy side than soldiers on this side.

I'm still winning with quality, but I don't think it would be a good idea if they pushed me off with quantity.

There are many soldiers over here who can use magic, but many of their opponents specialize in melee.

Many people are releasing magic and holding it down from afar now, but their magic is running out.

I can still afford it, but when the pace of shooting magic gets slower and slower, they get close.

When it comes to melee, the opponent has a minute.

This one also has a few soldiers who use swords, but fewer than enemy demons and soldiers.

Not the Magic Knights, we need to call for reinforcements of the Knights' soldiers...!

"'Light Explosion (Sunburst)'!

I built up enough magic behind me to unleash magic.

A small ball of light flies from your fingertips towards your enemies.

Going all the way to the side of three soldiers and some demons, the balls exploded.

The soldiers and the demons were caught in the explosion and became flesh pieces.

From now on I'm magically demonic, and I'm killing people.

I'm killing people for the first time, but I don't really feel it.

I'm still in the middle of a fight, and maybe I'm just not feeling it because I'm magically killing you.

But I have no regrets.

Conversely, I'm a little bit glad I could kill people.

Because I can get a little closer to Eric.

Eric killed that man who attacked the village.

He killed me to protect our village.

To protect something, kill people.

If Eric did it, I wanted to go through it soon, too.

This is the feeling of killing someone Eric experienced before.

I haven't really felt it yet, but I wonder what happens now.

I asked a senior soldier before about a soldier who had killed a person who was mentally ill and quit.

I was afraid it would happen.

I was afraid to leave with Eric.

But I killed people in this fight, and I knew I wouldn't have to worry about it.

I can kill people to protect them.

I was a little happy to be able to do that, just like Eric.

The other soldier or a large group of demons are getting closer than just now.

Soldiers fighting this melee are also responding, but the numbers are too different.

Really bad, not like this...!

"Next! Let the magic go!

"Shh, I'm sorry, there's already magic...!

After I let go of my magic and backed off, the folks that followed it were already out of magic.

"Damn! Let go of the magic buildup!

That's what the soldier in command says, but the magic doesn't fly at all.

Most people are out of magic.

I can still hit it if I build up my magic, but not yet because it's right after I hit it.

And - the equilibrium finally falls apart.

"Olah!"

"Damn......!

The soldier in command was in front, turning back.

He was targeted for that gap and hit in the head with a weapon from behind.

"Follow me, you guys! We're dropping the royal palace!

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!

When the demonic man who defeated the soldier he was directing raises his voice, the demonic soldiers loom from behind with a roar.

"Ku......!" Ice Wall "!

I unleashed the accumulated magic and unleashed the magic.

Between the enemy soldiers and these soldiers, they built a wall of big ice.

This is not magic to kill the opponent, it is magic to stop the opponent from advancing.

"Oh, thank you, Mr. Tina!

"Get back on your feet while you can!

That's what the other soldiers say, but there are hardly any more soldiers here who can unleash magic.

Fewer soldiers can fight melee than their opponents.

I'm stopping at the ice wall now, but they'll be breaking through soon.

"You haven't got reinforcements yet!?

"No more... I'm gonna die"

A soldier of the woman next door is holding her body with her arm, trembling and nodding.

This place is broken through and broken into the royal palace...!

Besides, I'm not that good at melee either.

If they break through this wall too......!

Still, I never want to die!

It's been three days since I last saw Eric.

For the first time in my life, I am so far away from Eric.

Until I see Eric, will I die...!

He said he had built up magic again and tried to unleash magic then.

"Tina, well done"

I heard a voice I was used to hearing from behind and something warm was placed on my shoulder.

I knew that was my hand, and the person in my voice quickly figured it out.

Turning around, he shouts the person's name as a delight.

"- Eric!"

"Oh, I made you wait. I'll take care of the rest."
