Dozens of creatures resembling the army of Crusaders are hovering in the sky. They used the magic circle created by Rena as their foothold.
Standing there, they aimed their shotguns at the assembled Justiciars and Valkyries.
On the other hand, Randy stared with fear at what he saw at this moment. It was like a nightmare he never thought it needs to happen.
"What the hell is that?!" Randy looked at the soldier that filled the sky while taking a slow step back.
"They are the Royal Army of Goddess Dahlia. Once hit by their gun, then you will be finished immediately. Remember, it also applies to all parts of your body." Dalor made the summoned armies even look more dangerous than before.
"Damn you, Dalor! Thanks to your words, I became even more frightened to approach them right now!"
"But you have to! If you don't want to, all of the Valkyrie and the Justiciar that face Rena will only leave their name!"
"I knew it! But how?!"
Confusion fell on them. They do not know what they should do at the moment.
"Why don't we change our form?" Asked Randy.
"That's a great idea..." Dalor's voice is unconvincing. "But I'm not sure this will go smoothly."
This is the same time as then, Dalor felt less confident in his actions. His confidence seemed to be gone nowhere.
"What's wrong?" Randy noticed the demon's strange behavior.
"The bullet from their gun was not an ordinary bullet. If a demon like me is hit by that bullet, then it's not just my essence that is lost. Your essence will also suffer damage and cannot be healed even with magic!"
All this makes things even more chaotic. Every path leads to a dead end for both of them. All he could do was believe in those two factions.
"Uh, wait!" When thinking about those two factions. Randy remembered something. There's something strange going on right now.
"What is it, boss?"
"You said, didn't you? Their(the army) magic comes from the Goddess Dahlia, not from the Goddess Apate."
"Yes, why?"
"This is probably just my guess. But the Valkyries and Justiciar are working together right now. Are they doing this because Goddess Apate wants to immediately cleanse Goddess Dahlia?"
Randy's question seemed to hit the bullseye. What's happening right now is too awkward to happen, especially since Farida couldn't have done this(the alliance) so easily.
"Because you said that, all of this now sounds very strange." Dalor finally came to his senses.
"Maybe we can call them?"
"They?"
"The three I have liberated..."
"You mean the three of them..."
"It should have been four, but because of the many events we have through... My movements have been hampered a lot."
"Come on, get to the point! We don't have much time!"
With that plan, Randy tries to call the three of them by using telepathy.
But just before it all happened...
BAM!
BAM!
BAM!
The shotguns were fired at those below(the alliance). The chances of them being able to avoid are very high, but because they are in a group. Most likely their movements were interrupted by the other girl.
"Damn, the fight has begun! We're late, Dalor!" Randy shouted at Rena as he's cursing at the demon.
Randy's scream made himself detected by her. Rena's dark and empty eyes like a zombie was staring at the young man with no emotion.
"We had been discovered! There's no choice, just use my body!"
With that magic, Randy's body completely transformed into that demon-like look. Less than 70% are transformed. The legs, hands, and wings do not come out well. Maybe it's because Randy's human body resists that transformation.
"Just this, huh?"
"It's okay, this is enough!"
2 Crusaders are turning and reloading their ammunition. This time it's not aimed to J's or V's. It was aimed to Randy who has become the half-demon.
Bang!
The shot came towards him.
Randy who saw the direction of the coming bullet immediately dodged to the side and then run like a four-legged animal.
"Damn, if I have wings, I will not have to dodge like this!" Randy complained.
BANG BANG BANG!
Although only 2 troops fired at him, the number of shots that come out from them was not showing that they will end out of ammo.
Like having unlimited bullets, the shotgun kept firing non-stop at that demon.
Dodging is not the correct option at the moment. Knowing that, Randy immediately stopped and let out some magic at random.
"Zelenyy Pyro Blitz!" A green fireball came out in his right hand.
"Curse Blitz!" A dark and weird looking sphere came out of his left hand.
Shooting magic in double requires high energy. Randy's body that had turned into a demon made his magic energy increase. So the problem disappeared.
The main problem right now, he couldn't use this body permanently. Like Jormungandr that he called, this body lasted only 5 minutes. But if he uses it correctly, then 5 minutes is already enough.
Those two spheres were thrown simultaneously towards Rena.
Because she has an army. That means she has a shield. The two armies stood in front of Rena and gather and cover her like a shield. They are becoming her shield.
"GUH!"
"HUARGG!"
The two Crusaders fell and shattered like broken glass.
"Damn, those troops are in my way!"
Don't want to get upset first. Randy swiftly makes the same magic and unleashed it once more.
SWOOSH!
The two spheres were unleashed.
Boom! "GYAH!"
But the result was unexpected. It could even say, Randy neglected to estimate that possibility.
Someone was falling.
Just when the two spheres flying to Rena, one of the members of Valkyries suddenly appears from below and tries to make a surprise attack. Unfortunately, she didn't realize there was another attack is coming. The Valkyrie was got hit, and now she is falling to the ground.
"Was that?!" Randy was surprised as he open his eyes widely.
"One of Celicia's subordinates, right?" (Dalor)
"That was... Naura!" Randy realizes who was that from how long her hair was when it fluttered upwards as it fell.
Feeling guilty, Randy straightens his right hand forward right in the direction Naura is about to fall.
"Cotton Flower!" Randy cast a random spell that comes out from his mind.
He fell in dumbness, how could this kind of magic was on the list of demonic spells?
"Why do you have this kind of magic in your memory?" Randy asked as he makes his eyes like a dead fish eye.
"I don't know! I really don't know about it! I don't even remember the magic was on the list!"
***
On the other side, the place where Naura was landed.
The girl's eyes closed tightly in fear. But all of that vanished when she knew she was still breathing and didn't even feel any pain.
The girl's eyes slowly opened and gaped at what was happening.
"This, flower shaped cotton?" Said the innocent girl while trying to get down from there.
She looked and observed the cotton flower. Her curiosity makes her distracted from the fight.
Bang!
Just as her eyes were diverted, a fire shot the cotton and burned away the cotton that had just grown out.
And since the object that was shot was Cotton, then the shotgun bullet could pierce and pass through the cotton and hit that poor girl.
"Eh?" Naura looked helplessly at herself.
A huge hole was on her body, a normal eyes can even see what was behind her through that hole. The shotgun shot hit the girl's weak body.
"Naura?!" Everyone who was there stared in fear of what was happening.
Healers like Windy and Hannah immediately approached the unlucky girl.
"Naura, hold on!" Windy's panic made her forget that she could use healing magic.
"Divine Heal!"
Unlike Windy, Hannah quickly tried to heal a large wound that appeared in the area around the abdomen.
Naura's body recovered, but still. She could not return the lost consciousness. No matter how hard Hannah tries. Nothing can bring back the departed soul.
"You took too long, let me do it! ULTIMATE DARK HEAL!" Recklessly, Windy who finally remembered she had magic instantly unleashed her strongest healing magic.
Risky and stupid, that's what they see today. Unlike the Divine heal of Justiciars, Dark Heal works more to heal the soul than the wound.
But when the wielder uses the strongest magic recklessly. Then the caster had to pay something.
Windy's body was aging, she didn't look like a cute class idol anymore. Now she's like a 40-year-old woman wearing sexy clothes.
"Windy, you?"
"Shut up, moron! I'm concentrating!"
Hannah tried to be concerned, but she didn't seem to need it. All the woman's eyes were now focused on her friend who was already on the moment where she will close her eyes for sure and forever.
Bang!
But the enemy does not know mercy. Shot after shot was directly to where Naura and Windy were.
Hannah who was nearby could only take out her magic shield to protect them. But her magic power was only temporary. The opponent was too strong, she couldn't hold it for too long.
----
Change place.
----
In a place high and inaccessible to the eye to see. Randy flying in the sky that is impossible for the human being to live at there.
"Is this high enough?" Randy asked as he's holding the bow that ready to fire at anytime. The green blazing fire was burn the arrow tip.
The young man forced out his pair of wings to out and flapped to make him continue flying in the Exosphere.
His eyes turned green making his gaze sharpened but color-blind
"Yes, is it enough!" (Dalor)
By this high, he won't miss the target again. He did something disappointing. But this time everything will not have the same conclusion. Everything was estimated without the slightest leeway.
SWISH!
The burning arrow shot down. Piercing through dozens of layers of space, the arrow continued to advance without anything being able to hold it back.
THRUST!
Until finally, the arrow pierced the girl's body and her necklace jewelry.
Liberated mission, was success.
