“82, tch!”
I pulverized the head of a crimson Magical Girl with a high roundhouse kick.
*Bakyuu* along with such a sound her brain fluid was splattering and the Magical Girl was falling.
This space was probably as wide as Tokyo Dome’s ground.
On the ground and on the walls of the hemisphere was coated with light pink meat and you can see huge blue and crimson veins around the place.
Leaving aside the blood from the Magical Girls I’ve slain, the smell of blood since the beginning has irritated me.
Basically, to the very end, this is putrid…
And then I looked at the center and glared at the flesh lump that appeared to be Himiko’s core.
A radius of 70 centimeters and 2 meter high of flesh lump.
Probably, in the center Himiko’s clone is stored or possibly that flesh lump itself is Himiko’s—–No, the system’s core.
While annihilating the Magical Girls who assault me sporadically I’m moving bit by bit to the core.
And then from behind me, *Byuu* came a murderous sound.
While dodging the luging sword I rolled forward.
“Magical Arrow”
I prepare my special bow and shoot behind me while rolling.
“Gugyaa”
The heart of the Magical Girl that has a sword was pierced and she dies.
This is 83.
Currently, more than 200 Magical Girls surround me with a radius of 30 meters.
At the beginning I used Second Burst then plunged deep into the center of enemies and from there I fired a volley with the bow with a radius of 20 meters.
With this 50 of the 300 were destroyed and I was able to create a diversion effect, too.
Even I can’t deal with them if they possibly swarm me with their overwhelming number.
But, at the start of the bombing the enemy had adopted a wait and see strategy.
And when they came attacking me there were only 2~3 bodies at best.
Anyhow, probably they’ve learned that if they go all at once they’ll receive an attack in an area.
I’m extremely grateful to them since it requires preparations for a large-scale attack.
And then, the most grateful thing is that these Magical Girls can not use more than Second Burst.
At this rate… I have a chance of winning if I’m decreasing their number bit by bit and them attacking sporadically.
“That being said, well… I don’t think that it’s going to be easy.”
Did the enemy notice that they were falling into a situation which was getting worse for them or possibly did they realize that arrow volley can not be fired in succession…
Anyhow, they’ve been walking slowly at me with a number of over 100.
The encirclement range shortened from 30 meters to 20 meters, and then they stopped walking at that point.
They probably have noticed the effective range of my range attack.
However, several seconds later… They took up a crouching start simultaneously.
And then, they kicked the ground—- 100 Magical Girls came flying at me right away.
“Aren’t you guys like summer insects flying in the fire?”
Honestly speaking, I’m grateful that they’re attacking all at once in this timing.
My range attack has finished charging already, fascinating them to the very last minute and then if I activate the range attack right away then they’ll be dropping like crane flies.
“Magical Arrow— Rainfall!”
The moment I tried to change to range attacks—Maki-ane appeared in front of me.
“Eh…!?”
It’s not the Maki-ane as an older woman, but it is Maki-ane when she had her lustrous skin and her adorned purple clothes in the past.
But, her pupils didn’t have the will of the past; they were shallow.
Thinking about it now, naturally it would be like that.
Successive Magical Girls are used here so naturally Maki-ane would be here too.
But, that’s not Maki-ane that I know anymore… She’s the ruin of what I once knew.
However, her appearance had enough of an impact to make me hesitate…
“Shit!”
The time I froze was for several seconds.
But, on the battlefield that time is plenty fathal.
From behind a sword was being lunged.
Second burst’s defense barrier —- The overly frilly clothes have been cut.
From the front a spear was being thrusted.
Second burst’s defence barrier —- The overly frilly clothes have been pierced, I dodged the spear and flew upwards.
Because of the turbulence my long range attacks that required preparations were nullified.
My available no-motion attacks— I repeatedly fire arrows one by one.
84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90!
And then from the top I began descending.
91, 92, 93, 94, 95!
I fired arrows on the area at my landing place but unfortunately there were many opponents there.
No, there are too many. I wasn’t able to guarantee safety at the landing place.
Damn… I feel like Kandata climbing the spider’s silk.
Under my eyes many of the dead are clinging on the spider’s silk— And then many hands are being held out.
At this rate if I fall, my life will be gone.
And then, at the same time I was landing on the ground; all were coming to attack me.
“Burst Second: Perfect Cross Form!”
A technique that discards all offensive functions of the Magical Girl armament and gives absolute defence for 10 seconds.
At the same time I landed many swords were heading for me.
But…
The Magical Girls probably judged that their attacks won’t work too. And, that time is limited too.
The Magical Girls were coming to coil on my limbs.
Like this, I am going to get pulled down to the ground by the countless Magical Girls.
And, it will all be over when the absolute defence effect wears off.
— Is this it?
I made a mistake in judgement.
In this situation even if I do Full Burst… Nothing will change.
My speciality as a Magical Girl to my utmost best is wide-range attacks with a bow.
I can’t use that when the distance is closed and being cluttered by numbers.
I should’ve used Full Burst from the very start…
I laughed in self-mockery.
—In the end, my resolution was not enough.
Although I received the baton from Maki-ane, I have yet to confront this place with my life on the line.
After using Full Burst and if I destroyed the system’s core, I’ll still turn into an old woman…
The result is this mess.
“I’m sorry… Maki-ane… It seems I wasn’t able to change anything…”
Remaining time to the absolute defense technique is 3 seconds.
The unavoidable and certain death is coming.
My opponents like they understood except the ones that were holding me, they licked their lips and were preparing their weapons.
–3
–2
–1
The remaining seconds of the absolute defense passed.
All sharp weapons were lunged at me, and then—
“Great Explosive Talisman: Megiddo!”
Three talismans were thrown before my eyes and in the next moment the Magical Girls surrounding me had been blown off.
“Good grief, you overdid it. The little sister was also caught up in.”
“Don’t worry. I judged that the little sister wouldn’t be burned if the magical defense barrier was of that level.”
“Rather… didn’t you misjudge?”
“Well, I’m confident in dealing with the level of tactics. Trust me.”
A blonde girl holding a crimson spear and wearing clothes that are unique to the Vatican.
And then, a long black haired girl holding a japanese sword in one hand and in the other hand a dozen talismans while wearing shrine maiden clothes.
“Firepower that breaks through the perfect cross form? Haha… What kind of joke is this? It’s the same technique but… It’s a different level from the JSDF member as before.”
My whole body was slightly burned.
I received a bit of damage, but… Certainly the Megiddo didn’t scorch me but exterminated the ones clinging onto me.
I stand up and look at both of them.
“Why are you here?”
These people are in the same school as Onii-chan.
They asked for cooperation just a moment ago but I refused since I couldn’t trust in the local organizations…
“As I said before, Himiko’s— No, the system core’s destruction matches our interests.”
Er… Abeno-san shook her head left and right.
“That is irrelevant. You are Morishita-kun’s little sister, right?”
Why’s Onii-chan’s name brought here?
I don’t get it well but I nod.
“In that case, we have a duty to help if you are in trouble.”
“Onii-chan? Why does an ordinary person like Onii-chan is involved with exorcists?”
She laughs while brushing her hair.
“You don’t know anything, do you?”
Then the blond haired girl burst in laughter.
“Haha… I think both the sister and the brother are causal fate. Your brother is… actually unbelievable!”
“Onii-chan… is unbelievable?”
They nodded almost simultaneously.
“Yeah, because he is—” “Un, because he is—”
And then they continued talking at the same time.
“”Natural lady-killer!””
Like that they looked at each other strangely and laughed.
“Anyhow, that’s the situation.” “Well, yeah it’s like that.”
“That’s why—” “From now on—”
And then they faced the Magical Girls and prepared their sword and spear.
“Leave it to your sister-in-laws!”
“82, tch!”
I pulverized the head of a crimson Magical Girl with a high roundhouse kick.
*Bakyuu* along with such a sound her brain fluid was splattering and the Magical Girl was falling.
