Going inside the castle for a while......
"Wow! I don't have a floor from here!?
Lara rounds her eyes and stops.
It was just a space where it was dark in all directions and a little white light like a star was pompous.
It's just a strange place to be thrown out into the night sky.
"No... take a good look. There's a proper floor."
Step into a space where nothing seems to be.
... um, I still have an invisible floor.
Nevertheless, if you don't 'see' it firmly, you may fall into different dimensions.
"It's true... kind of a strange feeling"
"It's like walking in the night sky..."
Lara and Cynthia also took a step into a space of nothing, like roughly.
It was then.
"You're here at last. Stupid lambs."
Suddenly a man appeared in the middle of the space.
"Aurelian's subordinate...... something like that?
When I said so, the man snorted.
Look at that, Lara and Cynthia reveal their vigilance.
"Out of my way. If you don't get in my way, can I miss it?
"Ho ho, it sounds scary to turn you against your enemies. But I also have a reign (...) King (...) Life (Mei) from Aurelian. It can't be that easy."
and the man continued, lifting the hem of the cape that was weaving its feathers.
"Hello. My name is Romer. Beloved King's men."
A man who says so gracefully...... Romer had a strange form of magic that is difficult to say of both men and demons.
Something like that because you're in a demonic mindset...
"I don't have time for you. I'll let you rush ahead. Lara and Cynthia are on their way."
Walk out again, and I urge you both to do so.
"Uh-huh."
"If it was behind Kurt... don't worry..."
Rapidly Lara and Cynthia followed from behind as well.
But.
"I'm not going through this."
Magic flows from Romer.
In the meantime, countless bat-like demons were summoned around and surrounded us.
"Um, Swambad?"
The total number is... 300.
"You really think you can stop me with this degree of demon?
"Wouldn't that buy you some time?
As far as Romer is concerned, apparently he's also thinking of something else.
"Don't even buy me time."
Just fine.
"Lara, Cynthia. I left it up to the two of us to clean these guys."
"Huh?"
"I'm not gonna stop walking. Until you get to the edge of this space... protect me from Swambad."
Up to the edge of this space, there's not even a hundred meters.
If you walk normally, it won't take much longer.
"Ugh, ugh! Okay, okay."
"Cynthia and the others protect Kurt... fresh as usual..."
The two rush into a combat posture.
That's comforting.
When I started walking slowly, a few swambads flew in with that neck hanging.
When he tried to bite me with his sharp fangs... Swambad hit an invisible wall and fell to the floor.
"Cynthia, good junction magic. Swambad is a demon that tends to flock, but that whole thing isn't less aggressive. Yet I didn't expect to create a junctional magic that would completely prevent it...... brilliant"
When I complimented Cynthia, she looked happy.
"But... what are you going to do now?
Seeing it, Romer makes a slightly irritating voice.
"That's all Swambad. It would be hard to break a bone to deal with them at once. With you, don't I have to weaken my walking speed?
A man who says things that are out of place.
Even if he does knock down as many as three hundred swam bads one at a time, it will take as long as Romer thinks it takes to waste.
Then......
"Lara, what do we do?
Ask Lara, who walks next to me.
"Uh..."
Lara tried to panic and started thinking with her finger on her mouth.
While we're at it, thanks to Cynthia's magic of the junction, we can safely walk forward.
"Knock it off with a firespeare one at a time? Because if I do, I don't know..."
It didn't take much longer for Lara to come up with an answer.
"... yeah. I wish it was that magic."
There is strength in Lara's eyes.
At the next moment, Lara assembled one magic ceremony at high speed.
"Mm... what's that magic?
Romer realized who the magic was and immediately tried to defeat it with disobedient magic.
"No...... keep quiet"
But there's no way Cynthia, who's good at analyzing magic, doesn't realize that.
She also tried to counter it, interfering with Romer's treacherous magic.
In the meantime, it wouldn't have taken three seconds.
"Ifried flare!"
Make sure you respond to Lara's screams, the kind of roar that sounds all over the space. An explosion occurs with it.
The scorching heat and shock left no swam buds that were there to be driven away.
We owe it to Cynthia's bond, but there's no scratch.
"That's great, both of you"
We were able to get to the edge of space without wasting a second, as declared.
"Eh heh, Kurt complimented me. Glad to hear it."
"... Cynthia... Good luck..."
Two voices bounce happily.
But.
"You think I'm gonna miss you guys?
Romer's voice from behind.
Seeing, Romer, who had prevented the earlier explosion with his own junction magic, was distorting his face with anger.
"Besides, you misjudged only one thing."
Romer flutters and shakes his hand.
"I didn't have to buy time. It was to keep you alert."
Romer's mouth angle is ugly and distorted.
The magic ceremony he was putting together is complete.
That summoned a giant demon who looked alien.
"Ha! What do you think! It's a demon said to have existed 5 (...) 0 (...) 0 (...) years ago. No matter how much you are, it's impossible to defeat this!
500 years ago...... this is the world 500 years ago, so a thousand years ago if you add up. Does that mean the time I was in my previous life?
I see.
You've seen this demon stretch out of your mouth a thousand years ago.
But.
"Well, it's... it's a demon a child used to hunt for because of his magic practice."
I release a single fire spear.
It pierced the demon and through Romer's chest without losing any further momentum.
Romer's body slowly falls.
He stepped off the invisible floor and fell to be sucked into different dimensions.
"Come on, both of you, shall we hurry up? It wouldn't even have been a prep exercise for me."
I say that to both of you, and I turn back.
"What the hell was that guy?
"... come on"
Together with the two of us, we had to get out of that space.
