Volume 2 - CH 76

「Eclair.」

When the man called her name, Eclair’s empty eyes looked down below her.

And so, she raised her hand.

That is clearly a combat stance.

「……Multicast――Star Flare, set.」

「tsu!?」

――Star Flare, with multicast!?

Absurd!!

Floating in the darkness above, the number of crimson flames seemed like it would reach thirty.

Each of those, are imbued with even stronger magic power than during the arena tournament.

It’s such a scene that, there’s a commotion even among Sacrament’s soldiers.

「Impossible……Do you intend to attack with that here!? The people here are, almost all Sacrament’s troops you know!!」

If she attacks seriously, even a single Star Flare would cause widespread harm.

That’s fire magic.

That’s, magic specialized in offense.

That……to attack with that number is……!

Looking around it seems there were those who started to dimly understand their fate, the bodies of Sacrament’s troops stood straight and looked at that scene while dazed and stupefied.

Troops with imagination and fast understanding, collapsed and sobbed.

Naturally……!

How many thousands of troops do you intend to erase and turn to ash, Eclair!

「……Eclair!! If you do that, this can’t be passed off as a joke anymore!」

There was almost no reaction to my scream.

As she looked down from the sky to the surface Eclair’s appearance was like she truly didn’t have a heart.

In exchange, the insolent seeming man giving her commands looked at me and gave a small vicious smile.

「――Do it.」

When those with absolute strength trample upon the weak, perhaps they express that sort of twisted smile.

Tactically, it’s an exceedingly correct judgment.

Without getting caught between objectives, without giving an opportunity for a counterattack, finish everything with the first move.

As a human it’s……unbounded in its coldheartedness.

「Hai……grandfather-sama――――――Shot.」

――It’s over.

With a slightly confused expression, Eclair nodded obediently, and set that directive into action.

Crimson fireballs came attacking from the sky as if they were, falling meteors with enough force to induce despair.

Were they to reach impact, the entire surface will be turned into a wasteland.

Nay, even the shape of the land might be changed.

Before the battle began, it was already over.

With this overwhelming divide in magic power.

There’s no way to block.

There’s nothing to do!

My left hand’s Ishtar Edge could, erase a few I suppose.

Icicle Garden could, stop one I suppose.

So?

For the remainder?

If I, were alone I could escape.

However, obviously there’s no meaning in such a thing.

……Shiit, if I also had multicast would that have done it?

If I had that, could I resist this!?

「――Ah? Bad!? I was late to wake up!!? Stop stop! Uu, it seems impossible! I can’t hold them indefinitely～～!」

Suddenly Eclair became panicked while floating in the sky above.

The nightmarish bolts of flame greatly reduced their velocity, for a time they stopped.

Right, just as the person in question said, it seems it will only last for a while.

It’s happening slowly but, the proof is that they’re already falling toward the surface.

It only extended everyone’s time of annihilation.

Just, with this there’s enough time to grab Shion-san and Aim and escape.

――But, that is also rejected.

They may be called enemy troops but, as if I could overlook this sort of merciless slaughter!

All the more so with this seeming nightmare where they’re discarded by their own allies.
