“Shindou-sama! Please wait!”
“《Photon Blade》!”
ㅤ
Ignoring Warlock’s restraint, Shindou’s true equipment, Excalibur, cloaked in light, bared its fangs at the Demon Lord.
It was the light of Holy Magic, a skill that could be learned through the effects of the Unique Skill [Hero].
Its power was on a completely different level from normal magic.
That power, combined with the specialized effect [Holy Sword of the Hero] for killing demons, was unleashed.
Even the Demon Lord would take some damage if hit directly.
ㅤ
That is, if hit directly.
ㅤ
“Yo.”
“Huh?!”
ㅤ
The Demon Lord, just like when she stopped Goda’s attack, effortlessly stopped Shindou’s attack with one hand.
This time, she’s gripping a sword in that hand, but for the one being attacked, it doesn’t matter.
After all, there’s no changing the fact that there’s a hopeless gap in power between him and the Demon Lord.
ㅤ
The Demon Lord mustered strength in the arm clashing with Shindou and lightly swept it aside.
Just like that, Shindou was blown away as if it were a joke.
What kind of cheat is this?
I really wish she’d stop.
ㅤ
“Demon Lord, do you need help?”
“No need. You deal with the Twelve Apostles. Even you should be able to kill them in their weakened state.”
“Got it!”
ㅤ
Such a conversation was exchanged between the Demon Lord and the Dragon, and those who were going to support Shindou, like Warlock, were attacked by the Dragon.
Now, cooperative play is also sealed off.
Just like a game of shogi where the king is cornered, it feels like we’re steadily moving towards an inevitable end.
ㅤ
“Guh. . .! 《Shining Ray》!”
“Huh! How feeble.”
ㅤ
Shindou’s Holy Magic.
The Demon Lord casually swung her sword and sliced through the orthodox laser beam.
ㅤ
“Well then, my turn! 《Darkness Ray》!”
“Guh. . .?!”
ㅤ
This time, the Demon Lord fired a black laser beam.
It swallowed up Shindou, a blow clearly more powerful than the Dragon’s Breath, let alone Shindou’s magic.
Ah, it’s over. . .
ㅤ
“Guh. . .!”
“Ho. So you’re still alive. You certainly are different from other heroes.”
ㅤ
Just as I thought, Shindou was still alive, albeit battered.
But that doesn’t mean the situation is improving.
In manga, there might be a miraculous comeback from here, but this is a cruel and unreasonable reality.
The overwhelming difference in power can’t be bridged no matter how hard one struggles.
A mouse can’t beat a cat.
ㅤ
“But, well, it would have been troublesome if you had grown up.
I’m extremely fortunate to crush you while you’re weak.
Now, farewell, immature hero.”
ㅤ
The Demon Lord raised her black sword towards the battered Shindou.
And then, hse swung it down at high speed, and Shindou, who no longer had the strength to avoid it, was about to be killed. . .
ㅤ
“Woaahhhhh!”
“What?!”
ㅤ
Just before that, the blood-stained Warlock-san, who seems to have shaken off the Dragon, cut between Shindou and the Demon Lord and blocked the black sword’s strike with his true equipment, a large shield.
In return, a large crack appeared in the shield, but Warlock-san didn’t pay it any mind and yelled.
ㅤ
“Emma! Take Shindou-sama and escape! You can get away with your [Angel’s Auxiliary Wings]!”
“B, But. . .”
“Fulfill your duty as one of the Twelve Apostles! We must not extinguish the hope of humanity!”
” . . .Understood.”
ㅤ
After being reprimanded by Warlock-san, Emma-chan seemed to be resolved.
For a moment, Emma-chan’s gaze turned to me and our eyes met.
I was startled.
But Emma-chan quickly shook off her surprise, and while directing her right hand towards Shindou and her left hand towards Ivy-san and me, she activated her skill.
The special effect of Emma-chan’s true equipment.
ㅤ
“Activation of [Angel’s Auxiliary Wings]!”
“W-What is this?!”
ㅤ
From the backs of the three of us, wings like those of the angels Emma-chan and the others have appeared. Without our volition, our bodies floated lightly in the air.
Ivy-san, who couldn’t see, was surprised.
This is the effect of [Angel’s Auxiliary Wings].
It gives the target wings made of magic power, granting flight capability, and supports the target’s movements like a thruster.
It seems that Emma-chan can also control the movement of these wings as we saw just now.
That’s why, she was able to force the bodies of the two who could no longer move, and mine, who had lost even the will to run, to move, allowing us to escape at full speed.
ㅤ
“You want to escape!”
“I won’t let you go! I will stop you at the cost of my life!”
“Oraaaaaaaaaaaa!”
“Ah! Annoying! And besides, Draglight! Do your job properly! Learn from Mamori!”
“I’m sorry! They were stronger than expected!”
ㅤ
Such conversation was quickly fading into the distance.
Ah, perhaps, we might have survived.
ㅤ
But even if I survived, there would be nothing I could do.
ㅤ
I’m done for.
My spirit has been broken.
I’m sorry, Instructor Carpaccio.
I can’t do positive thinking anymore.
I no longer have the courage to go to the battlefield.
ㅤ
I’m not a hero anymore.
Just a loser whose heart has been broken by overwhelming fear.

From behind me flying, I heard a tremendous roar.
It was the sound of Warlock-san and Garuda-san fighting against the embodiment of fear, putting their lives on the line.
Being protected by those two, and saved by Emma-chan.
I, who had lost even the will to live, was picked up as an extra hero with a life of no value.
