──???’s side

「… How’s the situation?」

「Our troops are currently fighting, but we have the advantage」

「I see… We can’t afford to lose our forces in a place like this… For our purpose」

「For our purpose…」

I watch my shadow… disappear and exhale in relief. We, the Heavenly Prison Chapter, are currently in the midst of a fight with many places. Of the four countries on this continent, three are hostile to us. By the way, the one country that is not hostile to us is Sildina, the land of elves. The elves tend to be reclusive and rarely go outside. Therefore, the country itself is in a state of seclusion. I don’t think such a country would get involved with us.

Furthermore, we are also fighting against the mysterious forces that still control the labyrinthine city of Formana and the Grand Labyrinth Formana.

「Haaaaa… I wonder what will happen…」

Sitting deep in his chair, he complains alone. He is still an executive, so he is a very powerful person, but he looks like a loli.

Let me say it again───a loli.

───Siegfried’s side

「I’m getting closer… I mean…」

I’m heading for Formana, which I can see from a distance. Upon closer inspection, I see black smoke billowing skyward from various parts of the labyrinthine city of Formana. It wasn’t there when I was here before, and I don’t think it’s industrialized. There is no way the place could have become such a black smoky place in such a short period of time.

「… I think it’s extremely bad… ?」

I came here after a fellow clan member told me that Formana was under attack, but I didn’t expect it to be this bad… Maybe it has already fallen… ? It’s in such bad shape…

「《Transformation・Change》」

I cast a skill and transform myself. I transform into the form of Ayane, the only one who beat me in this game. I should add one more thing, since it might be misleading if I say only this, it’s only Ayane’s wings.

I grew wings and then took off.

Of course there are dragon species, and they have wings to fly, but you must wonder why Ayane’s wings. But there is one reason for this. Well, it is not a very deep reason. Simply put, they are easy to fly.

Unlike dragon species, dragon wings are abnormally large and complex in shape, so it is impossible for humans to fly when they possess such wings. Ayane, on the other hand, is a Ryujin. Her wings are shaped like those of a humanoid, which means she can fly. This makes it easy to fly. In short, it is easier to fly with Ryujin wings.

───Hyuoooooo……

I reached the sky above the labyrinthine city of Formana. It was still a terrible disaster. Many houses were dyed red, and people were fleeing for their lives.

「Hmm!? Why are there monsters in the city!?」

For some reason, many monsters were running rampant in the city. They ranged from small to large, and were of all kinds. Some of them are even monsters that do not live around here.

「Hiiii!!??! H-Help──」

「Guoooooooo!!!!!!」

「Oraaa!!!!」

──Dogon!!

A man was being attacked by a monster, so I kicked the monster with the momentum created by gravity. A thread would be too slow and I would not be able to get to him in time.

「Are you all right?」

「T-Thank you… Thank you very much!!」

The man who thanked me ran in the direction from which everyone else had fled. Yeah, I guess so. As far as I could see from above, there were no monsters in that direction.

「… I need to find a player for now…」

And so I unfolded my pitch black wings again.
