With one hand holding her spell, Yue withdrew several blue crystals from her Treasure Trove and crushed them in the palm of her other hand. The blue dust that emitted from the destruction floated away in the wind and glistened for a bit before completely dissipating.
[Hm? Oh hey Yue-sensei what's up~!]
Felis was the first to respond to the signal. According to what the group had planned beforehand the glowing of the crystals at their sides meant they would need to group up to end the battle or more accurately to end Ehit.
[I apologize Yue, you must give master my regards. But I cannot turn from the battlefield with my kin unguided. I shall stay here and lead the remaining forces until their sa—]
Tio was about to relay her message to Yue using telepathy before a familiar hand sat atop her shoulder.
"Chief…" Though she normally referred to him as 'grandfather' , currently they were on the battlefield, and as such it was only respectful for her to address him as his rightful status.
"You say such a thing in your mind and look down on us as if we need to be protected." Adul stared at her with stern eyes, for the near one thousand years he was alive he had been the village's chief and also the one the others looked to when seeking leadership.
And while his granddaughter had grown strong enough to surpass him and take the position of Dragon King herself, they had not yet officiated that ceremony. So in no way did he plan to just sit in the back lines and allow one of his clansmen to take on the role he was responsible for.
"Gran— I mean, Chief. My words were in no way a spite to your leadership skills, I merely—"
"Haaah— I'm merely jesting, Tio. Listen, for centuries since you were just a wee whelp you've trained tirelessly to avenge the fallen. And now that the time has come, how can I live with myself should I deprive you of the moment you deserve? So go on, have some faith in your grandfather! And don't you dare think of comin' back without that bastard god's head—!"
Adul's stern expression faded into a waned smile, he sighed lightly before facing his granddaughter in a more informal way.
Who spoke to her now was not the Chief of the Dragonkin, but rather her grandfather who has raised her for almost all her life. Tio repressed the tears leaking from the bottom of her eyes before turning her head hastily.
The last thing she wanted to do was leave her precious family member with a face covered of tears, so she wiped her face with the hem of her sleeve and turned around with the brightest smile she could muster—
"Grandfather, I'm off to kill god!"
Black wings sprouted from her back as she flew off at the speed of sound.

[This is Claire. Ari and I have discussed things on our end and decided we'll do our best here. If we head over there I have no doubt that we'd just hold you guys back.]
In terms of strength on the hierarchy of the group, Claire could declare without a second of hesitation that both she and Ari were the weakest members of the group.
They likely had the strength on the scale of the 'Hero' from another world but in the bracket of Ivan's group they knew they couldn't compare to the real 'monsters' of the group.
It might have to do with the fact that they were the only two humans in the group, their talent above average compared to the residents of the world. As for Ivan he could now barely be classified as a human, at least that's what his own status plate told everyone.
{I'll go I'll go!!! Hey sis, you wanna come with~!}
Felis spoke excitedly, even as her arms never stopped moving and made several swipes to nearby apostles.
[No… my ability wouldn't be helpful in a fight against someone so proficient with magic…]
Canis knew when to admit her faults. And as such she realized that if she were to battle against Ehit even alongside the others she would just be a target for the magic spewing bastard.
[I'd need to get close to do any damage, and to get close I need an opening, and to get an opening I need him to look away from me for about five seconds… Forget it, I'll just stay with Claire-nee and Ari-nee.]
She huffed as her tail strangled the throat of a nearby apostle, her claws then stabbing into its eyes before launching her across the room. If she was going to be a punching bag then she'd rather stay in an area where she was actually making an impact.
Claire and Ari winced a bit at basically being referred to as the designated useless team but their motions to kill the enemies in front of them never stopped.
Whenever they killed an apostle two more would take its place. Which meant that they would have to endure things with the others until Ehit was dealt with. Otherwise there'd be a significant amount of deaths within the period of time they weren't there.
[We've come to another decision. Ari will be assisting with the Haulia and acting as a force in their teams. Shea Haulia has already permitted the movement and even offered to travel alongside her in the front lines. As for me I'll be taking the lead of the droids, while they have their own leadership droid they're relying on numbers often means they take risks that could have been negatable. So I'm thinking a little human touch is all they need—]
Her transmission came to a halt as numerous clouds of white smoke rained down on them from the sky. For a second the battlefield turned quiet as each side respectively chose to turn their attention to the new party.
"Dun, dun, durarara, dun, dah, dun~!" From the thick impact clouds resounded a high pitched cheery voice. The grain and volume of it a bit ear piercing to members of the beastman variety.
But for Yue who listened to the report of Ari who was on the scene, she couldn't help but feel an immense amount of dread.
"That's right folks~! Tis' I, the one and only, Miledi Reisen-channnnnnnnn~!!! Here to save the world again! And along with me, say hello to me and my amazing team of golems~ We're here to take ass and kick names~!"
A small doll-like figure appeared on the shoulder of a titan sized golem, its 3 foot stature a huge contrast to the 5 meter giant it stood on. But what really irritated the hearts of everyone present was the dopey smile crudely painted on the face of the tiny golem.
But before anyone could display their displeasure, one of the 5 meter giants made of silver steel and glowing blue eyes had its shoulders shifted a bit as a mechanic mechanism shot out of it, and then it happened to another golem, and then another, another one, all the way up till the 500th golem.
Their glowing beady eyes crazily shifted throughout the battlefield, likely targeting those that have apostle signatures or those that have a close appearance of apostles.
And without another word from Miledi, those devices on their shoulders bloomed with a brilliant blue flash as hundreds of gold beams shot out of their shoulders.
"...."
In a single move about 20 apostles had died. Those that had survived either used the apostles in front as cover or used their own wings to defend themselves if they were able to respond in time.
"Ehit, I've come to not bargain!" The doll declared war on god once more.
