Part 6

When he turned around, it was when someone was coming down from the sky.

There were two people.

One of them was a slender young girl.

She wore a china dress-style outfit where the chest was open in a diamond shape. Her black hair was done up in a side tail to the right.

A Seiryuutou (Green Dragon Crescent Blade)[1] of absurd size was hung at her waist.

She was a beautiful young girl, but it seemed that she was not a person of the Races. From the dress that had a deep slit in it, a tail with scales and resembled that of a dragon’s was hanging out. And she had grown wings from her back.

──A Demonic Being!?

The other one was a giant was more than twice as big as an average person of the Races. It was most likely a man.

It was wearing armor, but there was only one gigantic eyeball on its head. It was a so-called 《Cyclops》-type Demonic Being.

It held a Shakujo (Khakkara/monk’s staff)[2] in its hand. It was only a bit longer than its height, but it was also about five meters long.

Despite having a mouth that was lined with tusks like that of a beast, the Cyclops spoke fluently.

「I thought that I had sensed Cardia’s magical power but……」

It would seem that although they were Demonic Beings, they were not Cardia’s subordinates.

The young china dress girl pouted her lips.

「It’s totally not here.」

「I am terribly sorry. However, is this not the 《Sealing Crystal》 that was in our order?」

The orb that Diablo kicked away earlier was tumbled at their feet. It was the Divine Crystal that sealed Cardia.

Durango shouted.

「Not good! We must not hand that over to the Demonic Beings!」

「One thing after another, what a pain!!」

Diablo readied his weapon.

Rose stepped forward.

「I shall, stop them!」

It was an appropriate judgment. In the event that he used a powerful magic strong enough to repulse the Demonic Beings, there was the possibility that it would also end up destroying the orb.

Separating the enemy from the orb first using close combat was a good plan.

Kicking the ground, Rose closed in on them.

From her back, gigantic machine arms appeared. It was the 《Magimatic Soul》. She abruptly fired a killer technique.

「《Krios》!!」

The mechanical arms made a directly horizontal side swipe with the double-headed sword that it held in its hands.

The Cyclops received it with his Shakujo.

From the battles up until now, they had expected that it would easily bisect him but──

A loud metallic sound resounded.
