Volume 2, Chapter 3 Part 9

{AaAaAaaaaAA~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~–!?!?}

A thorn of blue light projecting out from the underground suddenly pierced Alfaro.

Alfaro was confused from this happening that occurred so suddenly, he released Sumika and screamed, but―

{……a, a…}

His voice soon deflated and Alfaro’s whole body languidly and powerlessly dangled down propped up by that thorn.

Before long the blue thorn was vanishing into light particles and Alfaro’s body crumpled to the ground, it didn’t move anymore.

“This is…”

Sumika who witnessed that situation from nearby immediately guessed who was the one that made this attack.

She had the knowledge regarding the <Evil Gods>, and most of all this was what she was trying to summon with her <Grim Bullet> before this.

However, the <Paladins> that didn’t have any knowledge at all about this fell into panic from the sudden defeat of the <Special Missionary>.

“Wh, what!? What happened!?”

“Alfaro-sama was defeated…!? But, how!?”

And then from this moment of agitation, they let down their attention to the enemy in front of them―

“Fly off all of you――-!”

“ “ “UWAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!” ” ”

All the remaining members of <Paladin> were mowed down by the stone pillar that Chikori wielded and were annihilated.

However Chikori didn’t even glance at the enemy that she defeated.

“Leader! Are you okay!?”

She immediately rushed to Sumika’s location together with Elfiena.

“…Sumika-san, just now… was that Sumika-san’s doing?”

“No… it’s not me. That was the power of an <Evil God> called Iod… And then the one who can use this power, is only Homura-san if you exclude my <Grim Bullet>, so I think most likely he saved us.”

“Bu, but, Master right now is in Australia right?”

“I think it’s likely Shiori-san that contacted him. …All things considered, it’s really unbelievable how he pierced an enemy from the other side of the earth no matter how much Iod’s power is a power that is outside physical interference. Really, it’s just too amazing I cannot say any words…-!”

Suddenly, Sumika’s expression distorted in pain.

The joint of her arm was bent into wrong direction and everywhere in her body were broken bones from having her whole body constricted like that, it was only natural.

“Sumika-san! Please wait. I will heal you right now-! I have a knowledge of healing skill!”

Realizing Sumika’s injury, Elfiena reached out her hand to Sumika. But,

“No… please heal that girl there first rather than me…”

Sumika rejected it and pointed at Lily who was collapsed in a place slightly separated from them.

Elfiena showed a confusion from that.

For her who didn’t know about the relationship between Sumika and Lily, she didn’t understand the reason for healing first the enemy that came to kill them.

But―

“She is, my friend.”

“―I understand!”

Elfiena immediately responded to Sumika’s request from that one sentence.

Elfiena’s healing skill was actually precise.

Making use of fairy’s special characteristic to enter inside material, she healed the wound by inciting cell division.

And then by directly calling to the soul of the unconscious person, she completely prevented the complete loss of the dim consciousness.

Lily’s wound was really heavy, but with a treatment this precise performed on her, her life could be preserved.

“―――……”

A feeling of relief relaxed the strained consciousness of Sumika.

The exhaustion that attacked her made her stop resisting the calming effect from her brain hormones and she closed her eyes.

And then she took a temporary sleep just like what her body demanded.
