Neta Chara Tensei Toka Anmari da!

It could only be described as a scene from hell.

The size of each ice chunk that was fallen from the sky could easily surpass 10 meters in width.
Low-rank monsters have no way to handle the difference in size and could only accept their end.
Their flesh was crushed, and the blood that should have been splattering around was frozen right after they left their body.
What was left was icicle dyed red by blood or caved-in earth.
The icicle rain that befell on the battleground brought enormous damage just from one hit.
Actually of three thousand monsters’ army, around a third has rendered unable to fight.
If it was a human army, they would already fall into panic and be unable to maintain their formation and end in a rout.

But the face of the Man-Eater, Uno, did not change.
For him, it was simply the small fry was too weak to evade and die.
There was not even a slight worry in the face of the monsters that has become demons and become named, Uno, the ogre Dos, and Tres.
If anything, they become eager to test their strength, and their blood boil for the chance to obtain even greater height.
Additionally, the Lich was able to gather the magic corps to use fire and reduce the damage to a minimum.

Three ice chunks flew toward the last line where Uno was.
His eyes become dark, and he swung the two long swords in his hand.
Using the two swords as a medium he activated his magic.

“Demon Art–Flame Spot!”
A purple flame appeared and engulfed the ice chunks.
The ominous flame released explosive heat and the ice chunks quickly evaporated.
It become white mist and disappeared.
Man-eater was actually born in the lineage of the goblin.
It continues to evolve to Ogre, and in the end, due to its trait to eat humans, it becomes like this.
Demon Art was something that Ogre was proficient with, and as someone who was envolved from Ogre, there was no doubt he was more than proficient with it.
Even though he lost a lot of soldiers, he has no doubt about his victory.

“To think…it was this strong–”

Far from the frontline where he could see all of the battlefields, Nigurd looked at the destruction the magic caused and become astonished.

“I am also surprised…As the one head of knight corps which boasted proficient at magic, I feel embarrassed…should I say as expected of A-rank adventurer with a title?”

“But it won’t end with just this–Tell all unit, don’t let this chance go and advance.
Destroy their frontline–!”
Grandia nodded and use wind magic to relay the order to all units.
It was the cue for the life to death battle between the two camps.

The armor of the vanguard infantry clinked as they advanced.
The monster’s army also advanced.
The two armies become closer and closer, and the monsters which have no strict army-like rules were jumping forward one by one disorganizedly.
The knights, of course, crushed them one by one, but some of them has power that surpass humans.
The knights has better teamwork, but individually, the monsters were stronger.
And thus the strange balance was maintained.
And it was also due to the support the adventurers who stood on the frontline provided.
Whenever a stronger variant of goblin and orc appeared, they would deal with them.

Blood splattered, one by one people were wounded, and thus the life and death struggle continues.
Among them, there were some that become even more intense.
The knights and the monsters slashed one at another, and even magic flew around sometimes.
In this world, the general tactic was for the frontline to gain time while the magic corps ready their magic to annihilate the enemy.
In the place where the monsters crowded, or where the human pushed the monsters back, deathly magic would surely fly.

“Gaa!” Guh!”

“Gyaaaaaaa!”

The screams of the knights and monsters mixed around.
Earth, water, fire, water, various magic hitting at each other.
The knights mostly use fire, on the contrary, the monsters used unusual dirty fire and darkish ice, and their power was by no means weak.
The only one who could defend against them was mostly first-class adventurers.
None among the infantry who slash the monsters in the front most line would be able to handle it.
The monsters have a higher advantage in the accomplishment of magic.
It was most likely due to the high-rank monster, Lich.

Near the left side of the frontline, Henry clicked her tongue.
“Tch, they are too many, I can’t get close!”
He wanted to defeat the Lich who has been casting magic from a safe place, but he could not get closer.
Even though he has been mowing down monsters in front of him, there was no end to it, and only made him more stressed.

“Kaito! Is there still no new order from guild master?”
Kaito answered Henry’s shout calmly.

“Not yet, a little bit more–That said, since we planned for a quick resolution, the knight corps would likely make trouble soon.
We should not be too rash.
If we failed, many would become sacrifices.”

“I know–But I will cut that Lich.
Don’t you dare to steal my prey!”
Kaito could only nod wryly.

Around one hour after the battle started.
In this world, arts and magic existed.
And they could cause a lot of damage, and thus a short battle was common.

Nigurd observe the flow of the war and noticed that the right-wing was slightly pushed back.
On other hand, in the left and center areas, the human side has the advantage.
Nevertheless, our advance has been stopped by the enemy magic.
It should be due to the existence of Lich that was reported to him.

“It did not appear–”
Grandia said in confusion.
Nigurd also agreed with him.

“We have been watching out for the wyverns, but since even in this situation they did not appear, it seemed they went for Nacht-dono instead–If the griffon also could not move, we should end it right here.”
What Nigurd had been warry was attacked from the sky.

It would be bad if there was a demon who invade using wyvern and target the headquarter or magicians, so Nigurd has been keeping the magic knights and cavalry in reserve, in case it happened.
But even after this far, when the battle was almost decided, there was no such thing.
It would be fine to keep it like this, but if Nigurd wanted to end this quickly, using them now should be the best.

“Just in case, keep the magic knight’s standby–send the two hundred cavalries and break the enemy line–and let the adventurers end it.”
It was also included in the strategy they discussed before.
When the time was right, the adventurer who mainly hit and runs would target the big threat.
And the time was now.

A fully equipped pair of humans and horses was one of their trump cards against monsters.
From the left-wing, two hundreds of cavalry run uniformly in the grassland.
Unlike against humans, there was no wall or line or spear obstructing them.
And thus, their charge was unstoppable and successfully create a hole in the enemy formation.
But of course, the monsters also have their own measure.
Monsters that were bigger than a horse, like Orc or Lich who could use magic, were unperturbed as they blast the calvary away.
Nevertheless, a big hole was successfully created.
Using that gap, the adventurers slip through.
Everyone was C and B rank adventurers parties.
Who could be said the specialist against monsters?

“”

“How dare you use magic as you please! Lucky to meet you face to face her, you d*mn Lich–Arts–Water Scythe!”
Henry unleashed her rage using his long sword and draw a silver line.
Using that as a cue, the other adventurers also started to attack the group of high-rank monsters who use magic.

“This should end it.”

Grandia said.
The victory was no doubt theirs.
The enemy line was breached and some have started to desert.
In normal war, it would end only if the enemy surrenders or is completely massacred.

“Hmm, Grandia was no doubt a military man.”
Although Nigurd did not blame him, he still refute his claim.
Because this battle was against monsters, not humans.

“To all unit, order to retreat!”

“Ha!?”
Although Grandia could not understand, he did not refute and carry the order.

“The war was indeed decided, but the main course is on its way!”
At the same time as he said that, the right-wing was blown away.
Humans fly in the sky like pebbles thrown by children.
And who stood there was a single demon.

The right-wing also has a demon.
Perhaps due to its presence, even the trained soldiers flinched.

And the most eye-catching was in the middle of it.
Sitting above a griffon, was another demon on a completely different level.
Its presence was completely different from any enemy they met before.
Literally in a different dimension.
Grandia gulped.

“I and Irina will handle the right-wing, let Aisha and Crysta handle the middle one.
I will leave the command in your hand, using the magic knights to sweep the left wing–don’t flatter! The true battle is starting.”
