The battle grew more fierce with each passing hour.

Enemies invaded uninterruptedly from the broken defensive walls.

No matter how many of them they defeated, there was no end in sight.

After fighting for so long, Rico's mind and body were exhausted.

Still, the enemies that came must be defeated.

Liko continued to attack the enemy soldiers by releasing magic over and over again.

Rico continued to shoot his magic so many times that he forgot how many shots he had already fired.

But in vain for Rico's efforts, his own soldiers gradually began to be pushed back.

The numbers were far too different.

All of the soldiers who had managed to hold back the invading troops in the vanguard were killed, and a large number of enemy soldiers poured into the city.

One by one, the soldiers on their side were taken out.

Rico was firing his magic wildly from the roof of a building in the rear, but the enemy was approaching in the vicinity of that building.

''Rico-sama! If we don't, the enemy will be here! Let's run!

The magical soldier who was fighting with me nearby shouted that.

(Run away? (Here?)

Rico imagines what would happen if he escaped.

The inhabitants of this town would be overrun. And of course Aysa would be among them.

What would happen if enemy soldiers found him?

Would they be killed, or would they be captured and enslaved for the rest of their miserable lives? Whatever the case, there is no doubt that they will be unhappy.

Although he wanted to run away now, Rico still couldn't escape.

Riko continued to use her magic with all her strength.

''Rico-sama........''

The magic soldiers, who were watching them, also began to shoot their magic, not wanting to escape.

The enemy soldiers find Rico and his friends attacking them with their magic.

They see that they are on top of the building and enter the building and climb up to the top.

The soldiers come up to the roof.

'Oh, hey, isn't that a saint?'

'There's the saint! A saint! Take him alive!

If the soldiers were screaming loudly, they would be closing in on Rico.

He pushed down his fear and used his magic to defeat the approaching soldiers.

But

"Oh, what?

You can't use your magic.

The MP has finally run out.

The other magicians, except for Liko, seem to have run out of MP and are unable to use their magic as well.

The enemy soldiers are approaching.

You're finally giving up.

f*ck a bunch of guys.

Hey, don't do that. They take saints alive.

Aren't you allowed to have a little taste? I like it a lot.

You can't.

Rico listened to the enemy soldiers' conversation with despair.

There was no longer anything to be done.

This town is now going to be overrun by enemy soldiers.

I was unable to defend any of them.

Riko felt more anger at that fact than fear of the misfortune that was about to befall her.

If I had gone to the brave man first, this wouldn't have happened. I should have gone even if they stopped me. Riko deeply regretted her actions.

Suddenly he realized that his vision was getting darker and darker somehow.

''Shall I help you?''

I heard such a voice. It was an inorganic, instinctual, disgusting voice.

I thought it was an auditory hallucination.

That it was just an auditory hallucination that he was hearing as he fell into this desperate situation.

But Rico was so driven that he wanted to hang on to such an auditory hallucination.

Rico opened his mouth to reply, "Please lend me".

At that moment.

"Oshima the Brave has been defeated!

A loud voice echoed across the battlefield.

00

After we had defeated Oshima, we were turning back to Vafol with his body in our arms.

The battle is going badly and many soldiers are pouring into the city.

We go up to the city wall first. I climbed onto the bulwark with Meku and Lenya in my arms.

Then we shouted loudly that we had defeated the brave Oshima.

But they wouldn't listen to me. I'm not the loudest person in the room, and the noise of the battlefield drowns me out.

'Nuh-uh. I wish I could use a spell to make my voice louder, but I've ended up like this.

Isn't that something I can use?

Hm? You can use magic easily by casting a spell, and Masking's magic is one of the least difficult to use. You can probably use it, do you have some MP left?

Yeah.

I learned the spell from Meku and used the spell.

Meku told me to use the spell in layers, as the first time I used it, it wouldn't be as effective, so I used it three times.

Then I said out loud.

"Oshima the Brave has been defeated!

I shouted.

It was too loud and my ears were in a bad way. The sound was too loud than I expected.

It's okay, though, because my ears immediately improved with [Self-Regeneration (Regeneration)].

Lenya seemed to be fine because she had covered her ears beforehand.

As expected, the soldiers reacted to this loud voice.

They turned their gaze towards us.

Then they see Oshima's corpse and start buzzing.

''Ah, is that the hero-sama?'' What do you mean, he's dead? "Stupid ... was he killed? Him? Wait a minute, that guy is level one, okay? 'But the brave master is real...'

He looks upset.

And then someone, who I assume is the commander.

'Don't get upset! That's an enemy trap!

I try to rebuild the soldiers' turmoil by shouting, "I'm sorry!

Reflexively feeling that this is not good, I use 【Meteorite (Meteor)】. I drop it on the battlefield.

I didn't just drop one shot, I dropped many shots in a row.

The level of the meteorite rises and becomes huge, and it rains down on the battlefield.

Many soldiers were crushed to death by these meteorites.

"Wow, that's not a trap. This strength." "That guy really killed the heroes.

They seemed to understand that I was strong enough to defeat the brave men.

Some of the soldiers, delirious with fear, began to run away. They are in a state of panic.

As this happens, the soldiers on the Vafol side who were originally fighting began to take out the enemy soldiers one after another, and the place becomes completely confused. It seems that it's no longer possible for even the enemy generals to rebuild.

''Retreat! Retreat!

The enemy generals shouted and the enemy soldiers began to retreat at once.

It looks like it was quite a dangerous situation, but you managed to get rid of them. I pat my chest in relief.

I watch from above as the enemy escapes from the city.

My eyes suddenly go to the roof of the building.

Someone is fighting.

No, that was........

Rico!

If you look closely, it's not so much that they're fighting, but that they're about to be taken away in some way.

I have to go help!

I hastily jump from the firewall to the roof of the house below.

I can hear Mek and Lenya's surprised voices, but I don't have time to explain.

I jump over the top of the building and hurry to where Rico is.

It didn't take me that long to get to where Rico was, as my physical abilities were very enhanced.

The enemy soldiers didn't seem to be trying to kill Rico, they seemed to be trying to take him away.

The other soldiers are starting to retreat, and they look quite impatient.

I jumped over to the roof and hit the soldiers in a few seconds, knocking them out.

''Te, Tetsuya-san,''

We'll be fine. We've won.

Rico sat down on the spot, probably because he was relieved.

'Thank you...............'

There were tears in Rico's eyes as he thanked her for that.

Somehow we managed to prevent the invasion of the brave men.
