"That, Mr. Sorta. Why are you running away!? We were totally dominant, weren't we?

Leila, who was suddenly instructed to withdraw, asks the question in surprise and unconvincing concurrence.

"Those guys are scouts, the ones over there were defeated by Deena and Gu Long. The ones on earth have also vanquished. But if you take the time, the main team will come."

In fact, this anticipation is met because the subsequent troops, although distant, were approaching.

"You can take them down too!

Victory is a sure thing if it's you and these people, Leila was so sure.

"That might be nice, but we should probably have a full-scale battle in the Empire. I don't need to show you my hand right now."

The last time I fought, there were no Leila and Gu Long, and the equipment has been renewed since then. So, if so, it was my decision to hide my power as much as possible. Of course, if it was the demon I'd fought before, I could get through it forcefully with force moves. But even though I was wounded and fatigued, I wanted to try just in case the other person had enough arms to kill the brave man who was Ethereal's companion.

"Hmm, is that what it is?

"Besides, our aim is not to destroy the enemy, but to make time for the settlers to escape. You've already achieved your purpose."

The settlement was empty because the chief who remained until the end was also dragged by his daughter-in-law, and there was no reason to continue to protect this place any longer.

"Mr. Sorta!

Deena, who ran from another place here, also joins the Ethereals.

"The evacuation of the residents is complete. He told me where to evacuate, so I'll head over there."

Deena was fighting not so far from the settlement that she had received information from Zames' wife about her place of refuge.

"Before you do that, do you want me to set a trap... head ahead. I'll go with Atra."

Aeta says as she strokes Atra's head, which had already come next door.

Atra's ability to detect signs is superior to Ethereum's, and even more sensitive to smell, so he thought it would be helpful in pursuing the Deenas.

"Leave it to me, Lord Sorta. I'll take you to everyone."

Everyone nods at Atra's reply, leaving the two of them to leave.

"There you go... I'm sorry. Let me hang out"

Aotea begins to prepare as she apologizes to Atra.

"No, Lord Sota is my lord, no problem"

That was Atra's heartfelt word and she was happy to be of service.

"It'll help. I'm sorry, can you keep this around the settlement, generally, at regular intervals?"

"Accepted."

Atra leaves it around the settlement when he turns the junction stone that was given to him.

"I have to get ready."

Aotearoa traps somewhat plainly outside the settlement in the direction the demons have attacked. If I step on it, it explodes. We prepared many simple things, such as spears popping up when caught on the line.

"And then, to finish..."

Aotearoa writes a magic formation so that when he enters the settlement, he doesn't know it in its center, and buries it covered with dirt from above. Absorbs and extinguishes the surrounding magic so that there is no residue of magic left.

"All right, that's good. Atra, let's go."

Aotearoa puts her hand on Atra's head and puts the magic of granting physical enhancement on herself and Atra.

"Run!

Cut that voice off. The two run after Deena and the others. Aotearoa runs with his magic scattered along the way so that he can scatter his tracks. If you go after it by exploring magic, you won't be able to go after it where it disappeared along the way.

An hour after the dwarf retreat.

"You've got an easy trap to understand, who's going to catch this?"

The man in the hood rides on the back of the demon to the settlement complaining about bumps.

Aotearoa's set traps occasionally caught a less intelligent demon, but most of them were left unattended without anyone taking them.

"If it doesn't take much to set up a trap, it's just a jail time."

Due to the large number, the man had a grin on his mouth not much, given the hardships involved in its installation.

Now, do you have any information on the one who missed the escape?

He stepped into the settlement and made his men demons look for a home but nobody seemed to be there.

"Whatever you guys are, look for something that will lead you to where the dwarves are going!!

Until too much information comes out, the frustrated man starts biting his own thumbnail.

"Shit, this one's on foot. Damn, how did you get away with it, a good number of demons didn't come back... but you didn't even have a body"

The man was frustrated, but doubts arose that he would gradually grasp the status quo.

To carry out their orders, the demons enter the settlements more and more and begin their exploration.

When that number exceeded a certain number, the junction stones arranged as surrounding the settlement reacted greatly.

"Hey, what!

When it emits a strong light, it covers the settlement with a magical junction. The demon that was near the entrance rushes to try to pop out, but the junction is strong and clutterfish. The demon can't get through, and it gets started back.

When the entire settlement is covered, more magic gathers from the junction stone in the center of the settlement, around which there are men.

"Damn, it's a trap!

Yes, it was already too late when the man screamed, and the last trap prepared by Ethereum was activated.

My feet get wet and I take my feet and I can't move. Light magic around the magic formation was activated there.

"Gu, guhhhhhhh!!

Its power was strong enough for it to turn white in front of it, and for the man to raise his voice unexpectedly.

The demons of his men had been purified as they were by the power of light magic and had lost their appearance. The man was deliberate in not bringing in a large demon this time with an emphasis on mobility and numbers, and there was not a single demon to overcome this situation.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!!

The screams of a man filled with bitterness and perfectly done repentance by light magic echo around......
