9-8. Facility
Tekeris wore a puzzled expression as he stood before the massive structure.
It looked exactly like the facility where he’d been confined for ages, so naturally, he’d show a face of distaste.
“Well then, let’s hurry up and swallow it whole, shall we?”
“No, no, no, no! Tekeris-san, wait! Uchikage-ojiichan might still be inside! Same with Rize-san!”
“Ah, right.”
No, no, “Ah, right” doesn’t cut it!
When this guy says “swallow,” it’s terrifying because he might actually do it! Literally!
After all, he’s Abyss-san’s brother, so he definitely has similar abilities. I’ve seen him melt into a liquid and move at high speed, too.
If he can pull off stunts like that, he must have other tricks up his sleeve.
I don’t want to let Tekeris-san run wild… Why does he forget Uchikageojii-chan was kidnapped, despite being the one who told us?
“…Yuuzen-kun.”
“Huh, what?”
“We might want to hurry.”
Amariaz, who had been scouting the surroundings and inside the facility with his skill, said this in a somewhat urgent tone.
When someone who usually speaks reasonably says something with such seriousness, it usually means something bad is happening.
I can guess what it is.
But that’s just the worst-case scenario, not yet a reality.
Besides, it hasn’t been long since Uchikage-ojii-chan and Rize-san were taken.
It took some time to return from the Garrot Kingdom to OniVillage because Abyss-san was injured, but it’s still been less than half a day.
Even if my worst-case scenario were true, there should still be some time left.
“Amariaz, tell me more.”
“The enemy numbers aren’t large. I see four.”
“Four? Hmm, so after all that killing, there are still skilled angels left…”
“Two of them… are archangels.”
He paused, then shared this information.
They’re familiar faces to Amariaz.
To them, however, he’s likely a stranger.
Knowing the enemy’s strength is helpful, but can we handle it with this group…?
Our highest firepower is definitely Tekeris-san.
Kenra-san is probably the fastest.
Amariaz can handle both long- and close-range attacks.
Abyss-san and Iubora specialize in close combat.
And I’m the tank on the front line…
Yeah, with this setup, we might just manage.
Though we don’t have a healer…
Tekeris, looking impatient, took a bold step forward.
As his foot touched the ground, it melted, spreading far wider than its actual mass.
“Let’s get this over with and retrieve them.”
“Retrieve…”
I’d rather hear “let’s save them”…
What does he even plan to do with that?
The black liquid spread out surprisingly quickly, lunging at what appeared to be the facility’s doors, smashing them.
The sound of shattered stone echoed, leaving the entrance in a pitiful state.
“What are you doing!?”
“We’re going in, right? So let’s get it over with.”
“We could have snuck in quietly! Why did you make such a loud noise!?”
“You should have said so in advance.”
“Is this somehow my fault!?”
Amariaz quickly scolded him, but Tekeris looked as if he couldn’t understand the problem.
Tekeris had always dealt with enemies head-on.
The concept of stealth probably made no sense to him.
People like him are just so overpowered!
With a noise that loud, though…
At that moment, the “Ripple Barrier” protecting the facility was deactivated.
“There, see?!”
“And why should I care?”
“O-Onii-chan…”
“Nii-chan… this time, you’re in the wrong…”
“Am I? My apologies.”
Tekeris still seemed far from comprehending, offering an insincere apology.
The barrier’s deactivation means they don’t need it anymore, right?
With a noise like that, it’s clear someone broke in.
Which means… they’re coming out.
The angels.
An angel burst out of the facility with great force.
It appeared to be a female angel, clad in various weapons and a staff.
After grabbing one of these, she swung it overhead and charged directly at us.
“Gah!”
“Oh? You’re quicker to assess the situation now, Mekonie.”
“Gotcha this time! Tekeris! ‘Shock Weapon’!”
“‘Pneumatic Barrier’!”
The angel charged at us, weapon in hand, swinging it at just the right moment.
But Tekeris’s “Pneumatic Barrier” blocked it, though a single blow created large cracks.
“What!? The ‘Pneumatic Barrier’!”
“You bastard!”
Crash!
The angel’s weapon shattered the barrier into countless fragments, though Abyss protected us from the debris.
Archangel Mekonie looked at us and laughed.
She raised her sword overhead and swung it down with brutal force.
“‘Shock Weapon’!”
“Oni Dance: Low Stance Draw!”
Kenra, lowering his posture as much as possible, dashed forward in a quickdraw slash, right in front of Tekeris.
It probably wasn’t necessary to help Tekeris, but it stopped Mekonie’s movement for a moment.
Tekeris’s brother wouldn’t miss this chance.
The three raised their arms, which instantly swelled to enormous sizes.
They moved to capture Mekonie, though it was unlikely they’d trap an archangel so easily.
“‘Shock Weapon’!”
With a light tap on the hilt of her sword, an enormous shockwave exploded.
The three with their swollen arms, along with everyone nearby, were blasted back by the force.
“Whoa!”
“Damn, she’s an archangel for a reason! She’s mastered that skill!”
“What was that!?”
“It’s a skill that adds shockwave power to her weapon!”
“So it has enough power to shatter my ‘Pneumatic Barrier’!?”
“It’s really just a matter of her higher skill level!”
Whatever it is… it’s dangerous!
