Manowa - Chapter 415: Let's Burn With One Blow

Shaving away… when only that was considered, the presently lost spear technique『Wind God Spear』was exceedingly excellent.

However, the difficulty of the technique was high, so the relatively easy spear technique『Shake』started to be used as a substitute, making it gradually die out; in the end, other than the vestiges of it left behind in Barnes style spear techniques like『Great Earthquake』, it disappeared from the history of Hyvern spearmanship.

It had now been revived in the present age. By the return of the old Dragon Knight named Jin Bahar, it was handed down to the young spearmaster Yumika.

Two uses of that technique were unleashed here.

『Thiiiis!』

『Monsterrrrrrr!』

Using the path opened by Emily’s arrows and Lyle’s spear, Yumika and Jin Bahar’s attacks shaved away both sides of the mass of meat Marie.

「Playyyyy, morrrrre!!」

「We’ll pass; get that through your head already!」

Subsequently, Lyle charged with his Divine Protection of Wind and pierced Marie’s body with Gieve’s Spear. While swinging upward with all his strength to cut her, he fired Dragon Breath to burn her away. It was damage that would normally be deadly. But Marie was an existence far distant from the concept of normality.

「Thanks for, the meal!!」

Then, Marie’s stomach burst open, and a slimy mouth-like thing that looked like a sea anemone came out and swooped down on Lyle.

「Brother!?」

「Tch.」

Emily’s screams reverberated, and Lyle was astonished, but a flash of lightning covered in wind passed through that place. And when the big mouth closed, Lyle was being held in Shippuu’s mouth a short distance away.

「Uwaa. Thank you, Shippuu.」

Lyle said that while looking at Marie’s closed mouth. Shippuu opened his mouth to release him and cried Naago in reply. An uncle saving his nephew is a matter of course… it was uncertain if Shippuu thought that, but it was certain that Lyle was saved by Shippuu’s high-speed movement.

「Even so, she truly won’t die!」

Emily shot an arrow. That arrow directly hit Marie, but the wound immediately closed. And Marie kept moving as if she hadn’t been damaged.

「… I’m really getting sick of this.」

Emily furrowed her brows and cursed. Then she looked at Tiara. Everything depended on Tiara’s summoning. Overwhelming firepower was required to defeat the monster named Marie. Tiara’s Ruby Griffon had the power needed.

And right now, Tiara was controlling her Flame Knights and Flame Bird as she continuously poured their power into Mefirus’ juvenile Griffon body.

The summoned bodies of the Flame Knights had almost completely faded away, and at the same time, the burden on Tiara herself was increasing. Her other selves were being shaved away, so that was no wonder. However, she had to succeed, so Tiara mustered her willpower as she continuously used her magic.

(Now, come out. You chose me as the successor. Even though we were tied together by the hand of a devil, that’s still true. In that case…)

「Answer my call and come out,『Ruby Griffon』!」

Then, it woke up.

『It’s coming!』

『Uwaa, it’s very different from the last time I saw it!?』

Feeling tremendous pressure, Jin Bahar and Yumika stood ready.

Mefirus groaned as the juvenile griffon body expanded. His wings spread wide, his body became packed with tight muscles, and his eyes literally blazed. Then, a magical beast with the upper body of an eagle and the lower body of a lion covered in a mixture of red and black flames appeared there.

「Birdieeeeeee!!」

That figure made Marie’s eyes sparkle, and she charged toward the Ruby Griffon.

In response, the Ruby Griffon’s burning eyes turned towards her, and it prepared.

『Dangerous!?』

That situation made Yumika shout. Thanks to her Complete Dragon Transformation, she could see it with her『Dragon Eyes』. Huge energy was converging on the『Ruby Griffon』. And Lyle, who naturally also possessed『Dragon Eyes』, noticed as well.

「Run away, Shippuu. With Emily too!」

「Naa!」

「Eh?」

Lyle used his Divine Protection of Wind to run as fast as he could, and Shippuu grabbed and held Emily with his mouth as he evacuated from that place. Yumika and Jin Bahar also immediately started running.

They had to avoid getting involved.

「Waa, birdie…」

Among them, Marie alone looked at that radiance with fascination.

And that was fired towards Marie. A tremendously dense mass of flame from the Ruby Griffon.

「Prettyyy…y…y….」

That mighty flame engulfed Marie in an instant. Even if she tried to speed up her regeneration to the limit, against that power, there was no way it could catch up. The entire body of the mass of meat Marie was burning away and vanishing. And in less than a second, Marie disappeared from that place.

『KyuaaaAAAAAAAA!』

However, the Ruby Griffon’s flame didn’t stop at just that. Like a giant flame sword cutting through the earth, a raging fire danced in front of the Ruby Griffon, burning away even the ground.

The amount of heat was tremendous, and that excessively vast amount of energy caused cracks in the surrounding space like Louise’s Judgement Bolt had done earlier.

『Oh?』

『Did they do it?』

As Jin Bahar and Yumika observed the situation, the red moon above their heads shattered. It splendidly split right in half, broke into pieces, and scattered.

「Ah, the bear over her disappeared as well.」

Furthermore, after all of those phenomena had ended, Louise noticed that the sign of the white bear Gora, who had been constantly regenerating inside the Lightning Sphere, had disappeared. Apparently, the supply of magical power had stopped, so when its regenerative power disappeared, the continuous damage of the Lightning Sphere alone killed it.

(All that’s left…)

『Tiara!』

Yumika’s voice resounded. And when Louise looked, the Ruby G​riffon was disappearing, and Tiara was collapsed on the ground. Yumika ran over and held Tiara in her arms.

『Tiara, pull yourself together. Wake up.』

Yumika was in her Complete Dragon Transformation form as she shouted at Tiara, so it would normally look like she was going to eat Tiara, but Louise suppressed her desire to quip and approached Yumika as she started talking.

「Let her sleep for now, Yumika.」

『But, Louise-san. Tiara’s magical power is already…』

The dragon glared at Louise with a dreadful expression. She was probably flustered because she grasped Tiara’s magical power with her Dragon Eyes, but she was incredibly scary. Louise suppressed the desire to turn her face away as she continued talking.

「The Ruby Griffon is originally adjusted to manifest in the royal capital as a guardian weapon and fight while receiving energy from the Magical Power River. Therefore, handling it with just a human body is difficult from the start. Consequently, it uses every bit of Magic Power it can for a single blow. Like this time.」

Yumika’s face turned pale after those words. To the end, except for the rampage when it was first summoned, the training only involved summoning the Ruby Griffon’s form. So Yumika didn’t hear about the risk of using it to attack.

『Then, I requested something outrageous… ah, that’s right. Louise-san, give Tiara that medicine as well.』

「Ooh? What are you planning to do after making Tiara feel lewd? As I thought, you…」

『Please stop joking.』

Yumika shouted with a growl, and as might be expected, Louise was taken aback. Or rather, a little Breath came out just now. (This girl’s scary…) Louise thought all the more, but setting that aside, she shook her head.

「That medicine’s effect is like getting an advance on energy. The recoil after the effect expires is frightening, so that mustn’t be used right now. Anyway, I’ll take care of her, so all of you should look that way.」

『That way?』

Yumika tilted her head, but after she looked in the direction of Louise’s gaze, she understood what that meant, and goosebumps stood up on her entire body.

「There’s nothing to worry about, but it would probably be best for all of you to watch. I don’t know how often you’ll be able to see it in the future.」

Over that way was a battle transcending dimensions.

「Jinrai-kun is serious right now.」
