Chapter 515: First Anniversary Extra Chapter ~~ The Visitors Beginnings Part 1 ② : Encounter ~~ (2/2)

The girl wanted to somehow bring Magnawell down in her next attack, but such expectations disappeared when Magnawell spread his huge wings that covered the sky.

”Now you've done it!!!”

[Uweeehhh…… For something as disgustingly big as it, it can fly huh. Seriously——— Whoa there.]

[You're quite carefree even though you're fighting us huh.]

Muttering with a disgusted expression on her face, the girl evaded Ein's incoming attack and moved away.

As Ein waved her fist in pursuit, she was unable to carelessly use her time-stop because she was wary of the girl's magic threads.

[It's not that I'm carefree…… It's just that you folks have never coordinated with each other in a fight, have you? Your coordination was a mess. You worry about shooting your allies, so you end up not doing anything at all.]

[But that doesn't really change the fact that you're at a disadvantage though?]

A little surprised at the girl's response, Ein speaks up as she continues her attack. Brushing aside the fists fired at her with an unbelievable speed, a fearless smile on the girl's lips.

[Disadvantage? I'd like it if you don't try to make me laugh though…… After all, even if there's a difference in numbers, it doesn't really mean anything , you know?]

[Hoohhh……]

[You must be an idiot huh? ”You can't call something an advantage if you can't even take advantage of it”. Your greater numbers isn't an advantage when you can't even take advantage of it. Come say that again after you practice your combinations.]

[I see, I've learned something new today. ”After we bring you down”, this will be my something I will study.]

Just as the girl said, Ein and the others had never fought together that much. This is because each of them has overwhelming power…… They didn't coordinate with each other, because they could win without needing coordination at all.

However, they can't say such a thing against this opponent. Even when she's fighting with Ein and the others, she still has the leisure to talk. Concentrating even more, Ein fired her fists again…… but the girl disappeared for the third time.

[!? That instantaneous movement again!?]

Yes, the ability that this girl had was troublesome for Ein and the others. The girl had great skill at deflecting attacks, and she had speed and power, but none of these aspects were at a nonsensical level. Ein and the others could handle her just fine…… However, this instantaneous movement was the only thing they couldn't see through.

If Ein, who has the ability to manipulate time doesn't sense the time being messed with, it means that she isn't stopping time. But if that's the case, it's too inexplicable for her to disappear without a magic circle or even a fluctuation in magic power.

But in reality, the girl disappeared before their eyes, and before I knew it, she was directly running towards Lillywood, the white knife she had just picked up in hand.

Ein immediately tried to follow her, but before she could do so, the girl sent out magic threads behind her.

[……It's basic knowledge to aim at healers first, right?]

”I'm not going to let you do that!”

Ein is blocked by magical threads, while Megiddo and Isis are too far away. Magnawell is also not suitable for a quick follow-up. But even if that's so, Lillywood is one of the most powerful people in the Demon Realm. When it comes to Defensive Magic, she is one of the best in the world.

As the girl approached, a wooden wall rose around Lillywood…… a wall that even Ein and the others would have difficulty breaking. Thus, Lillywood's main strategy was to defend before making her counterattack.

However, the expression on the girl's face didn't change. Seeing the wooden wall rising up from the ground, she threw her ”black knife” forward and threw her white knife behind her.

The four others who were chasing the girl thought for a moment about the true meaning of her strange actions…… and Megiddo was the first among them to notice it.

[This is bad, Lillywood! Her ability isn't instantaneous movement! It's ”Compulsory Teleportation”! She can ”forcibly transfer anything touching the black knife to the location of the white knife”!!!]

Almost at the same time as Megiddo shouted this, the wooden wall with the black knife pierced in it suddenly disappeared.

The girl quickly closed the distance between her and the astonished Lillywood, sending a sharp punch forward.

”Kuhh! Uwaahhhh……”

[Lillywood!?]

With a creaking sound, Lillywood's body bent backwards and was blown away. Seeing Lillywood, Isis let out a shriek, and Ein, who had finally removed the magic threads around her, stopped time and moved behind the girl. She throws her fist at the girl with all her might, but just before it hits her, she releases her time-stop.

Thinking that she should make sure to capture her this time, the fist that she had clenched…… she had swung it to the girl's side and blown her body away.

Ein then stopped time again, heading towards a place engulfed in a cloud of dust…… the place where Lillywood was blown away.

[Lillywood, are you alright!?]

”Yes, I'm alright.”

Helping the fallen Lillywood up and with the smoke obscuring her vision, Ein positioned herself to protect Lillywood behind her. Thinking that she's ready to deal with the girl no matter where she attacks her……

”Ein! You're mistaken! That's not me!!!”

[Wha———– Oh no!?]

[Gotcha!!!]

Hearing Lillywood's voice, Ein understood in an instant. The girl that she had blown away was just a clone, and that she had lured her into a trap by daring her to attack her clone…… ”knowing herself that the first thing on their minds was to get rid of her”…… but, everything's already too late.

With an ultra-thin thread of magic power stretched out, preventing Ein from escaping, her deadly blade approached Ein from behind…… Evading it is impossible, while her time-stop ability wouldn't do anything.

And then, the girl's blade struck Ein in the back of her neck————- is something that didn't happen.

[……Eh?]

That voice came out from the girl who was sure that it would kill Ein. The battle was going as she planned. It was the greatest chance for her to finish off Ein, who had the most troublesome ability among her opponents.

However, the girl's plans only brought her thus far———–

[……I don't know what the circumstances are…… but if you try to hurt my family any more than you already have, I will not be lenient anymore.]

Yes, as if to sneer at all the plans the girl had…… the strongest being in the Demon Realm…… had descended.

Magnawell was still able to fly ”in those days”. However, time passed, he has grown even larger, and he can't fly anymore.

Also, the other members of the Six Kings were being overwhelmed by Alice, but at this point, Alice had already been stronger than them. She's already lived for tens of thousands of years.

Serious-senpai : [……Ahhh, errr…… W- What should I do?]   ←   (Based on her previous experiences, she thought that the seriousness would be broken again, but the seriousness continued + ? ? ? not intruding within the afterword today, she didn't know what to do.)
