Chapter 56 - A one-sided reunion of old acquaintances.

–Community cemetery in the West. Same time as when the revolution started.

It has begun. A large circular magic circle emerged amidst a row of grave markers. Those who came to visit the grave and the cleaners are watching the transition calmly, although they are surprised. None of them seemed to be running away.

“Peaceful people. Let’s have a little surprise for you.”

Frey hid herself behind a tombstone and took off her maid’s uniform. She was lost for a moment but left her underwear intact and went out into the passage. Her magic power increased. Flames enveloped her body. The swirl flames grew and eventually popped.

A huge red-haired wolf appeared.

“Humans, if you don’t want to die, get away from there!”

With a bark and a shout, those near the magic circle fled to be the first to escape. The preparations are complete. The only thing left to do is to destroy the magic circle.

While watching the black deformities appear one after another, Frey opened her mouth wide. A ball of fire is born in a mouth large enough to swallow the deformity in one gulp.

”I’m going to extinguish it all together. [Inferno]!”

A shell of fire was shot out.

The target was the middle of the circular magic circle without a doubt. The sound of the explosion roared, and the industrial fire burned the ground with both the deformities. The grave markers were blown off by the blast.

(Dumbfounded.)

The ground that had been heavily gouged out was still smoldering and scorched. The deformity and the magic circle had disappeared without a trace.

(Which, if you’re struggling, I’ll help you out.)

When she was about to use her communication magic to search for other appearances, she received a communication from somewhere else, on the contrary.

”Oh, that? Is this the right thing to do?”

“Come on, sis, hurry up!”

”Wow, I know. But, this is supposed to be the right thing to do, but…”

She could hear voices, but nothing was displayed on the screen that appeared in front of her.

‘Hey,’

“Pya? Huh? This is Marianne. Do you hear me?”

“Yeah, I can hear you. The images are … well, that’s okay. You’re the student collaborators Charlotte mentioned. What’s going on?”

The answer was both expected and unexpected.

”We failed to destroy the magic formula. Suddenly, we were attacked by someone, and we were unable to maintain the breaking stake in return fire… I’m sorry.”

“And then?”

“Several black humanoid monsters – elder ghouls – appeared from the magic circle. The number is still increasing. The attackers are gone, but we’re too busy dealing with the demons to destroy their magic formula.”

“All right, I’m on my way. I’ll be right there. I’ll be watching for bites.”

“Hai. But, please hurry. There are too many of them, and if they move onto the campus, the students will be harmed…”

“Then, you must struggle to survive. They’ve got a habit of jumping at the bait in front of them. They won’t move if you and your friends survive.”

“Hai!”

I could feel the pathetic determination. Frey tucks in her maid’s uniform and pushes it into her body hair.

(We’ll have to hurry.)

Running through the royal capital in this form would cause a commotion. However, it’s much faster than moving by changing into a human form.

Frey kicked the earth–.

–I’m not going to be able to get it right.

“Hart! Do something about it!”

Rias shouted as he smashed the fireball into the deformed’s face.

“Oh no, I don’t know if you can call it something.”

There are just too many of them. And, they didn’t decrease at all as they crawled out of the shining magic circle from the edge of the disappearance. Rather, they were increasing.

”I wonder if Hart-kun can fly?”

“All of a sudden? There is no way, I, a level 2 magician, can fly.”

The wards covering Haruto C are not only protective, but also have the functions of an exoskeleton powered suit and the ability to fly. So it can actually fly.

”Can you all hold it and fly?”

“I can’t fly. Even if I could, it’s a terrible idea.”

“Five in total, if you exclude yourself. And you want me to fly with it?”

“Oh. I can do it.”

I could fly.

With Tiarietta on her back, the men clung to their legs, while Iris and Marianne clung to Haruto C’s arms.

“Yeah, yeah, I knew you’d be able to fly,”

Tiarietta didn’t listen to Haruto C’s insistence that he couldn’t, and she gathered everyone together. The oopsy ghouls were rushing in, so they had no choice but to jump up.

“My left arm,” Iris, asked.

“But, is this a good idea? If the Elder Ghouls leave here, the damage will be done.”

Tiarietta answered.

“It’s all right. They’ll be fine. However, if they fly too high, they will give up. I want you to hold the line just in time.”

The elder ghouls were gathering straw directly below. They jumped up and clenched their teeth in an attempt to bite.

“Ha, Sensei! A little more up!”

“They can vary from person to person. Look at this guy! That’s a lot of jumping power! It’s going to bite me!”

Porcos and Rias weren’t fazed.

“Just need a little more patience. Help is on the way.”

Marianne encouraged him, but things were going badly.

“It’s not a good idea to use flying magic. However, that won’t do you any good. If you’re going to be quiet and give me Lucianell, I’ll let you off the hook?”

The enemy captain who was supposed to have been blown up by the magic gun earlier had appeared across the forest. He too is flying through the air. The other companions are out of the Elder Ghoul’s range of vision, but they are probably deployed and surrounded in the woods.

With his hands full, Haruto C called out to his back.

“Professor Tia. Pull your magic gun from your holster and fire at random.”

“This one? Can I just hook my fingers and push it in? But, I don’t know if I can handle it?”

“It’s okay. I’m really the only one who can do it, but it should be available to everyone now.”

It was a strange thing to say, but without saying anything, Tiarietta pulled the trigger.

She tried to aim at it for a while, but it was way off from the flying man.

”Hmph, where are you aiming–Gyabuki!”

However, just as it passed by him, it changed direction furiously. I’m not sure I’m going to be able to do that. I’m sure you’ll be able to find out more about this.

“Oh, you!”

“It’s not working. Go ahead and do it, Professor Tia.”

The man is self-reinforcing and improving his defense. While wondering how many times she would not be able to do much damage, Tiarietta continued and pulled the trigger twice.

The magic bullets changed their trajectory and hit the man. Each time it is flung off, but it still doesn’t seem to have much effect.

”Hmph, I don’t see how such an attack can work!”

The man dropped down to just beside Haruto C and glared at him. There–.

Gabri.

“Hey–!”

The Elder Ghoul bit him from below.

“You can’t expect me to go for this one. Oh, gosh!”

The man who was dragged down was bitten by several ghouls and—

”Ugh, ahhh…”

It turned into a ghoul without looking. It’s skin turned gray and it prowled around, bleeding from every part of its body. His cloak and clothes were torn to shreds.

“You’re doing it, Hart-kun.”

“It was Professor Tia who did it. But then, that’s what happens when you get bitten. I’m definitely sorry.”

Rias murmured unbearably.

”If that thing roams around Royal Capital in large numbers…”

Even if the combat power of one unit was low, if it kept its former human form, it would be hesitant to attack. If it were to happen while dealing with Elder Ghouls, even a soldier would be caught by surprise and get killed.

”What in the world am I supposed to do…?”

It was right after more murmurs.

–Retreat!

A voice rang out in everyone’s head.

The Haruto C gained altitude. Just as the Elder Ghouls were about to give up and disperse. A huge shadow rushed forward, reaping down the trees in the forest.

”Ah, ah … you’re not supposed to …”

Iris let out a shaky voice. It was Tiarietta who took over the words.

”Flame Fenrir! Wow, I’ve never seen that before!”

“Easy, mortal. Shudder at my power.”

Frey kicked the ground and jumped up. When she opened her big mouth.

“Inferno!”

A fireball is shot into the magic circle. A huge explosion ensued. The elder ghoul in the center of the circle turned into a piece of meat, and many others were blown away as well. The magic circle lost its light and a large hole was drilled into the ground.

I’m not sure if I’ve missed something. It’s just as well because it’s not rampant enough, but with my appearance, I’m going to be targeted in my blind spot. Frey’s body was engulfed in light. The huge body shrank in size and changed into a female form.

”Why are you naked!”

Rias turned red and looked away.

I’m sure you’ll be able to find a great deal more information on this topic. The ears and tail that had been hidden by Hart’s wards are now exposed, probably due to the effect of her transformation into a giant wolf form.

“My crotch swooshes.”

The Elder Ghouls came bitingly close to her, looking grumpy. She looked up at the skies above, not wishing she hadn’t.

“I’ll take care of the rest. You guys stay here and watch.”

She extended her claws into a hooked shape.

One arm of Haruto C. becomes light. Iris broke away and landed on the ground.

“Hey, there, white hair. Didn’t you hear me tell you to stay and watch?”

“No. I’m not a man to stand on your shoulders but let me at least have your back.”

“It’s not necessary. But, I don’t think you can go back now. Stay out of my way, little boy.”

Frey said, but she had a strange feeling.

(The quality of magic power is different from people. Is it ‘Iris’ or some other friend of Haruto-sama that Liza was talking about? What’s this feeling of something catching in my throat?　Ugh … my tail is itching!)

She slashed at the head of the Elder Ghoul as it attacked him. However, the inexplicable irritation did not lift.

”Well we will fight together on the battlefield for now, let’s introduce ourselves. I’m ‘Frey’. However, I will not allow you to call me by my name. This is an honorary name given to me by my Lord—”

“Frey it’s a good name. Yeah, it fits you.”

“Hey, hey, hey, don’t call me noble– yeah, get out of my way!”

She slashed the deformities that attacked her again, one after another with her claws.

”Well, well….my name is–”

“I know. Move your hands before your mouth, Iris!”

“Uh-huh!”

“Why are you smiling so happily there?　You’re disgusting.”

Haruto C. watched the one-sided slaughter in the skies above with the odd conversations..

“You don’t want me to go, do you?”

While thinking, he receive the magic gun from Tiarietta.

(Okay, the bullets are replenished. That guy…. he’s watching you properly too.)

Then, he held up his magic gun and fired several magic bullets into the woods – and then.
