The Branded Female Fencer

War and Peace, Part 526 ~ Abandoned Ruins Middle Layer ② ~

"There it is, maybe this one"

"What's that?

"Perhaps a purifying device. You should be able to drink water with this. Securing drinking water is important, isn't it?

"Indeed. Can you use it?

"No problem. If we turn the site's operational capability over here - should we?

The instrument operated by the layer swayed slightly with the vn, and the low start-up sound, and began to move. Clear water overflowed from the faucet in front of him, and when the layer opened the lid of the barrel around it, the contents were discarded and replaced.

"In the meantime, let's make about 10 bottles. I don't know what's out there, and I could be here for days."

"What about Ucco?

"I hope Hansvl wins, but that won't be possible. And if he wins, it doesn't mean we're safe. I'm worried about something else."

While the layer filled the bottle with water, he felt some sign and turned the other. I still don't feel anything Lunatica, but when I clear my ears, I could hear Cashan, Cashan and something walking in.

"Anything coming?

"Marionette Beast - is it starting? Luna, I'm gonna run."

"Mario - what?

Layer and Renatica were running away before they heard back, but shortly afterwards a four-legged beast revealed herself from the shadow of a mountain of food piled up high.

Blue body hair, long hair. Part of his leg seemed uncovered with skin, but one giant eye moved slightly to catch Layer and Lunatica.

"Fly!

"Whew!"

Layers fly with Lunatica in their arms. I tried to shield myself over one pile of food in that leap, but only to the extent that the shock waves the beast had emitted had barely stopped. Earlier water purification installations became dusty in an instant, and Renatica saw a pile of circularly creased food, turning blue.

"What's this? What are you shooting at?

"It's a chunk of air. An even denser one of the 'pressed atmosphere' of witchcraft, easily crushed if about iron armor. Sounds like this pile of food is gonna crush too."

"If you're calm?

"Indeed."

When the layers pointed backwards, I could see there springing up the same beast as all later. Renatica blued and Layer sighed.

"Layer, let's hurry and get some distance.

"No, you're in trouble. You can't get away with that many. 'Cause those guys..."

"Huh?"

With the blur of the layers, when the first one kicks the ground...

"My legs are fast."

A beast that reaches a pile of food already hidden by Layer and Lunatica. The inorganic first captures two people.

"Ugh!?

"I have no choice, let's reduce the number a little"

Layer pulls out Schempez and Tilfing. At that moment when the beast opens its mouth, it kicks its jaw and bursts a chunk of air. A beast blown from the head to the top, but punches that arm layer in the face.

"Layers!"

But the layer rotated its shock, and landed on another pile of food. There comes one beast after another.

What the hell are the beasts made of, their outer skin was so hard that even the tilfing barely passed through. But while the layers move around at high speeds among the beasts, they let the air chunks argue with each other, reducing the number of opponents.

The beasts sprang up later, but their numbers began to diminish slightly. Renatica was carefully distancing herself from being involved in the battle, but whenever the beasts tried to notice, the layers would not let her distract herself and turn to Renatica.

"Is it time...?

Decided that the battlefield was glued, or changes were made in the behaviour of the beasts. A certain number of individuals take a distance and a few beasts circle around the layer to obstruct movement. The layers cautiously watched, but when the beasts suddenly jumped on the layers and covered them, the beasts at a distance showered the layers with concentrated fire.
