Seirei Gensouki's
Chapter 158: Fierce Combat

The summoned demon moved along with Reis's signal.

The Minotaur was the first to make a move, charging towards Aisia. Instantly moving in front of him, he swung his great stone sword towards him.

The swing produced an extremely loud sound that echoed around him. The collision created a crack in the ground, and the minotaur felt the sensation of contact being transmitted to his hand.

But, that huge stone sword did not destroy Aisia's body. Some kind of invisible wall appeared as if to protect him from that sword.

「GA! ? 」

The Minotaur frantically added more strength to his arm to push the sword. But, the arm holding the sword was simply shaking and it was not enough to push the sword forward even by 1 millimeter.

On the other hand, Aisia looked at the minotaur in front of her with a lethargic gaze. And then, he pushed his hand towards the minotaur.

At the next moment, a shockwave was shot out from Aisia's hand. The minotaur's huge body was blown away over ten meters away.

Reis looked at the scene with a look of admiration on his face and then—–,

「Still holding huh. What are you going to do now? 」

Saying those words was as if sneering at him.

At that moment, the winged lizard flying in the sky opened its jaws as it headed towards Aisia and released a burning fire breath from its mouth.

A scorching breath rained down on Aisia. But, Aisia was without any nervousness, casually dodging the incoming attacks.

Minotaurs who were waiting for an opportunity rushed towards him and started attacking in a raging wave.

But, Aisia was not confused by it. He lightly jumped over the minotaur, one after another while tapping their heads with his hands and freezing their craniums almost simultaneously.

The large bodies of the minotaurs collapsed on the ground at the next moment.

直 後 、 ミ ノ タ ウ ロ ス の の の の 、 音 音 音 を 地 地 地 地 地 地 地 地。。

「………. Pterosaurs should not have been able to perform a breath attack. 」

Aisia compared the pterosaur from her memory to the one flying over her and was convinced that the winged lizard was not a pterosaur, but something that resembled it.

「The basis of pterosaurus. I just tweaked it a little. 」

Perhaps because she heard Aisia's words, Reis answered her with a delighted expression. Aisia frowned hearing that but continued to face the demons without glancing at Reis.

「Stop doing things like that. 」

After saying that, countless balls of light made from his magical power appeared around him.

A little while later, half a ball of light turned into a beam of light that led to the fakesaur flying in a circle above. Some of the blocks landed on the bodies of the fakesaurs.

「GUG」

Although some of the beams did not hit the fakesaur directly, it resulted in them losing their balance. Although some of them fell to the ground, the leftovers managed to regain their balance. It seemed like the damage was no higher than the previous shockwave.

（Dragon type skin can repel odo. Even if subclass dragons were not supposed to be on the same level as dragons, was that their unique nature? If that's the problem――）

Aisia calmly calculated her next move and then leaped into the sky leaving the minotaur crashing at her on the ground.

He then aimed his remaining magic bullets towards the minotaurs that were on the ground. Unlike when it hit the counterfeiters, the magic bullet that became a ray of light damaged the minotaur.

The Minotaur was a demon blessed with hard skin but the 2-3 ray strikes were enough to fatally injure them. They lost their lives and turned into magic stones.

Thus the number of minotaurs continued to decrease little by little.

The fakesaur flying in the sky was a little more troublesome but not a threat to him. It was only a matter of time before Aisia annihilated them.

But–,

「As expected of a human-type spirit. I can't use normal methods. 」

Reis sighed as he looked at the battle in front of him.

Right after, his shadow started to cover his surroundings. Countless skeletons came out from within.

Their bodies are pitch black. Although they had human-like appearances, they were as unpleasant as demons. They carried black swords and shields and terrifying existences.

（……………. Reinforcements?）

Aisia glanced at the skeleton as she dodged the attacks of the other demons. And then, he extended his hand producing a strong wind.

A huge wind slash made from magic power slashed through many skeletal soldiers.

The skulls were flown like cloth. But, Reis easily avoided the blades of wind by flying into the sky. 。

「Sadly …………. Do you think that this enemy level is enough to defeat me? 」

Murmured Reis in a friendly manner. Even though the remains of the skeletal warriors that were crushed by the strong wind were right below him, his expression was still as carefree as ever.

Aisia glanced at Reis but quietly continued her battle. It looked like the number of minotaurs on the ground had also been greatly reduced, more than fakesaurs flying around in circles in the sky at high speed.

The head of another minotaur was decapitated from its body with blades of wind.

After that Aisia saw the last minotaur. Although the breaths of flames of the fakesaurs constantly rained down on the sky, he continued to dodge as if he was dancing.

Aisia calmly landed on the ground and aimed for the last minotaur.

But, Reis descended from the sky to disturb him. And then, countless magic bullets rained down on Aisia almost at the same time. Before the bullet fired by Reis landed on the ground.

Aisia had already stepped back dodging the incoming magic bullet.

After which, Reis raised his right hand to the sky. The remains of the skeletal warriors who had scattered in their surroundings gathered in front of him and turned into solid poison.

The fog then changed again in the next moment forming a shape similar to a human. But its size and sinister aura clearly surpassed the previous one.

Moreover, it seemed to have more power than minotaurs, a huge sword in one hand along with a formidable-looking shield on the other and covered with armor. Perhaps for the sake of flying, he grew feather wings from his back. The figure resembled a fallen demon or angel.

The gigantic skeletal knight rushed towards Aisia at a speed that surpassed even the minotaurs and easily swung a gigantic one-handed sword that was almost as big as a tree.

And released a back shock wave from close range at about the same time. A loud clashing sound rang out around him.

But the giant skeletal warrior was not blown away by the wind and simply staggered backwards. It managed to defend against the attack with a shield on its other arm.

（The strongest I can make now … . I think I can buy a little more right time)

Reis smiled happily as he floated in the sky. He then rose even higher in the sky to watch the battle unfolding beneath him.

◇ ◇ ◇

Ven and Lucci spread to both sides and then started taking action to get a little more time. But, the two of them had completely confused expressions.

(Why didn't this guy let go of Arein?)

Lucci had the same question as Ven who came in as his reinforcement.

Rio was clearly full of gaps ever since he put the fainted Arein on his shoulder since a while ago. Even so they carefully observed him because he showed no signs of moving.

(What is this guy thinking, aren't you going to move soon?)

Lucci slapped his lips as he made his decision and sent a hand gesture to Ven. Do not approach it and focus on long-range attacks.

「Oi, Your Grace. He used a demonic sword that could manipulate the wind element. I've confirmed that he can use it to create vacuum waves and for instant acceleration. And I don't know if we can beat him even with our double-layered physical reinforcement. Be careful with him. 」

As he said so, Lucci took out a knife from his breast pocket and threw it at Rio.

「《Foton Bullet》」

Meanwhile, Ven also chanted an aria spell and directed magic towards Rio. Countless bullets and magic knives were thrown from both sides of Rio.

But in the next moment, Rio unleashed his magical power which he had kneeled in secret to form a dome-shaped storm with him as its center.

The fierce storm that shattered the surrounding chaos had repelled all the incoming attacks.

Lucci-tachi's expression turned to surprise due to the sudden development. It became an incomparable gap.

The storm wall swallows Lucci-tachi. Even the other mercenaries who were at the side were also swallowed by the storm.

And then, the only one standing unharmed by the storm was Rio. Because they would die even if he had to leave them alone.

Rio frowned lightly as he looked at the scene of calamity surrounding him. He let out a small sigh as he went towards Lucci who was lying on the ground.

「Urgh …………………. . 」

When he reached Lucci who was lying face down, Rio rolled him over with a kick, he learned that Lucci was alive.

（Fainting yes. The other person was barely conscious. )

Rio grabbed Lucci by the neck and dragged him towards Ven who was still lying face down.

Ven frowned when he guessed that Rio was facing him from above.

After throwing a tattered Lucci in front of Ven, the,

"I have a few questions for you . Answer them . 」

So Rio interrogated her.

◇ ◇ ◇

Meanwhile, time returned a few minutes earlier, right after Alfred and Charles had surrounded Christina-tachi.

Christina-tachi surrounded by griffon but—

「Can you set a goal on the griffon, Celia-kun? Can you reduce their mobility? 」

Vanessa asked Celia who was standing next to her in a low voice. The reason why she could not say 「Please kill the knights riding the griffon」 was to make sure that Celia would not hesitate to attack because she had no experience in killing humans.

「You-Yes. I might be able to do that. 」

Celia replied with a shrill voice.

「I'll hand it to you then. Please release your magic on my signal. After that, please bring the rest to run towards the national border. Your honor . Is that clear? 」

He said those words in a low voice but with a clear tone that did not allow any arguments.

This is not the time to discuss. Vanessa gave them simple instructions and made impromptu plans.

Even 30 seconds had passed since Charles-tachi appeared.

「Oi, what are you talking about? Remove your ho- …………. 」

"NOW! 」

Vanessa in a confused tone gave a signal as Charles began to speak.

「《Wall Multi Bumi》」

Celia chanted the aria for the incantation in a hurry. Right after, a gigantic magic formation formed on the ground with him as the center.

The Griffon that flew right above him became the first victim of the vertical pillar.

「Na! ? 」

The knights riding the griffon lost their balance after receiving the attack coming from below. And just like that, everything fell to the ground.

However, one man, Alfred, had manipulated his griffon in time and evaded the attack. She erases his expression when he ignores Celia-tachi from above.

「PLEASE WALK!」

Vanessa screams loudly.

Receiving the signal, Christina-tachi shouted aria from 《Great Physical Capability》 and lunged like water flowing out of a broken dam.
