1-10. Let's Dance With the Demon! [Final Part]
”Greetings from the battlefield, the commentator Suzuki Ichirou, will be sent off by me, Satou.”
Expect getting even more skills with increasing tension, Satou's here.
While pretending to be dead behind the mantle, I activate many skills but...
I didn't expect for it to cause a situation like that!
Well then, let's start ”Let's Dance With the Demon [Final Part]”!
◇
I take out a two-handed sword from the shadow of my mantle.
At the same time, the magicians begin their counterattack, after waiting behind their formation.
Fireball, Firestorm, Wind Blade, Lightning. 3 systematic magics assault the demon one after another, and it also lands on me who is seemingly petrified near the demon.
Furthermore, more attacks come after a bit. Stone Bullet, Sandstorm, Water Ball, Snowstorm.
The last one to arrive is simply a pillar of light piercing through heaven.

The log flowed at a great speed.
Maybe because of my level the damage isn't much, but unpleasant things are unpleasant.
The demon seems to think the same, and returned lightning magic to the magicians lot.
Probably predicting it, the magicians defended with a barrier before the lightning hit.
Already breaking apart from the magic earlier, I shatter the petrified mantle and shield.
Being a bit away from the demon, I stand up and immediately jump to close the distance. Aiming at the demon's head I swing the two-handed sword.
Since the demon tilted his head, the full attack did not connect, but I succeeded in cutting one of his horn.

The soldiers are looking over here while saying something.
They're probably surprised that someone who just got shot by barrages of magic could calmly fight.
With my disheveled long blond hair swaying on the back and the silver mask reflecting the sunlight, I face the demon.
I thought that a hooded mantle would suffice, but it was a good decision to prepare additional disguises as an insurance.
After receiving that much concentrated fire the demon finally suffered about 20% damage.
For now, the demon is too close to the magicians' base. If I don't somehow lead it away from the plaza…
I don't want you to misunderstand me, this is not because some sort of heroism of not wanting any victims. The reason is quite selfish; they do damage the demon, however small it is, so it's troubling if they're all annihilated.
The demon attacks during the gap where my thoughts derailed. Dashing on the ground, the poisonous claws rushed towards me!
Even if tried to shake the demon off with the two-handed sword, it boldly closed the distance not letting me get away.
I throw the two-handed sword at the demon to elude the poisonous claws, taking out a hatchet from the mantle and use it to cut the demon.
Because the hatchet stuck deeper than I thought, I left it there and avoided the demon's counter.

While empty-handed, I'm exchanging blow with the demon while retreating.
Sometimes, I pick up weapons dropped by the soldiers on the ground to add onto the attack. Since I haven't activate physical attack related skills, the damage I'm doing is small.
Should I break the deadlock soon?
Most knights have wounds all over the body, only a few of them are unhurt. There aren't any useless shots from the magicians either, seems that they ran out of magic power.
Seemingly, it's not only me who thinks so, from the castle gate several horses come out pulling a cannon.
I position myself to divert the demon's attention from the gate until the cannon finished setting up.
When I get near the wreckages I draw the demon's attention, behind the wreckages, I switch my weapon. I put a blacksmith's hammer onto my waist, and wield a two-handed axe and a sledgehammer in each hand.
It's not really practical but thanks to my maxed STR, I can wield it just fine. Maybe because I look ferocious, the demon's expression become unpleasant.
I jump from behind the carriage. First let's strike with the sledgehammer!
The demon guarded to the right with both hands but without minding it I slashed from the opposite side with the two-handed axe.
The axe cut through, and the arm fell!
...I remember, from some manga, about an episode of an arm that had been separated from the body attacking independently. Let's pay attention to that arm...
