Eastern Camp

The ice sculpture in front of Wiz cracked.

Frozen shards scattered like snowflakes, drifting through the air.

Behind her, Shuna was calmly hypnotizing the Saints who had lost their will to fight.

Information extraction: in progress.

She looked up at the blazing fireball still hanging in the sky.

"Looks like Miss Megumin finished her side too."

Northern Camp

Stark raised his great axe and brought it down with a thunderous crash.

BOOM!

The shockwave shattered the crystal barrier. The earth cracked open beneath it, forming a deep trench.

"Stark, you've gotten way stronger," Frieren commented, crouching beside a fallen Saint.

She casually examined the magic tools scattered around the battlefield, licking blood from her fingertips.

Ever since witnessing Aqua's impromptu resurrections, her curiosity about this world's magic had only grown.

With practiced precision, she began packing the dismantled relics into her carry-on suitcase.

"I'll study these properly when we get back."

Bang!

Fern landed a final blast of attack magic to knock out a remaining Saint, then turned toward Stark.

"Is it because of that training you've been doing with Gobta?"

Stark's face twisted in despair. (-﹏-)

He did not want to remember that nightmare.

Hakurou's hellish boot camp had no mercy.

Every session left him bruised and broken.

But...

He looked down at his hands.

Yeah, he'd definitely gotten stronger.

Southern Camp

Reyhiem stared at the sky in disbelief.

What?

Why did the barrier break?!

He spun around and shouted, "Contact the other camps! Find out what's happening!"

"My Lord Archbishop," a believer replied nervously, "we've lost contact with all other camps."

"What?"

Reyhiem's eye twitched.

All contact lost?

How was that possible?

As his thoughts scrambled for answers, a panicked voice shouted from outside the tent.

"My Lord! Something's wrong!"

"We're under attack!"

Reyhiem bolted upright.

Attacked? By who?!

Before he could process it, something flew past his head.

CRASH!

A body slammed into the tent behind him, reducing it to splinters.

"What the hell?!"

He turned, trembling, and saw—

A tiny pink-haired girl holding a Saint by the leg.

"Rim was eating lunch! You all ruined it! Bad guys!!"

Rim roared, hurling the man like a ragdoll.

Next to her, Shion watched with quiet pride.

Though Rim was absurdly strong, she was also adorably simple.

Everyone in the company doted on her like a younger sister, constantly teaching her new things to protect her.

Naturally, as a self-proclaimed battle maniac, Shion had also shared some "important" life lessons.

For example:

Don't use your mouth when you can use your fists.

There's nothing more satisfying than ground-pounding your enemy into a fine paste.

Watching Rim now, effortlessly obliterating everything in her path, Shion's motherly pride overflowed.

Maybe it was time to consider having a child of her own?

...Could Oni and humans even reproduce?

Shion thoughtfully stroked her chin.

Meanwhile, Reyhiem stood dumbfounded.

That little girl just threw two adult men across the field?

The believers she tossed were at least B-rank!

What is she?!

Before he could make sense of anything, Rim locked eyes with him.

He instinctively backed away.

"I—I warn you!" Reyhiem stammered.

"I represent the Church and the Holy Falmuth Empire!"

"If you dare attack me, you'll pay!"

"The Church won't let this slide!"

Shion, who had been daydreaming about having Chishiya's children, instantly snapped back to reality.

Her eyelid twitched.

Where do these clowns get their confidence?

Are they actively asking to die?

Cracking her knuckles, she stepped forward, her aura rising like a wave of killing intent.

"Miss Rim, leave this guy to me."

"Guys who talk big only understand one thing—getting punched until their brain resets."

Reyhiem broke into a cold sweat.

"You... You... What are you doing?!"

"Stay away! Don't touch me!"

"SOMEBODY PROTECT ME!"

None of the believers moved.

Seriously? For this salary?

No way.

Reyhiem shrieked.

"I'm the Archbishop of the Western Saint Church! If you touch me—AHHHH!!!"

He didn't finish the sentence.

Shion's punch landed square on his face.

His nose crunched. Blood sprayed.

His eyes rolled back and he crumpled to the ground, unconscious.

Back to Chishiya

Razen watched as the barrier shattered in the sky.

Even though he didn't want to believe it, it was over.

Reyhiem's strategy had completely fallen apart.

And here?

Razen was still desperately trying to resist the icy downpour.

He had assumed a spell of this scale would have a time limit.

That eventually Chishiya would run out of mana.

But now—

Sweat ran down his back.

Why hasn't the ice stopped falling?

His own magic reserves were nearly gone.

But Chishiya still looked... fine.

Relaxed, even.

Unlimited mana? Was that a thing?

Is he even human?

Razen was panicking now.

If this continued, he was dead.

If I had known a monster like this existed in Lapris, I would've never started this war...

But regrets don't mean much once the executioner's already swinging.

Beside him, Knight Commander Folgen spoke quickly.

"Mr. Razen, it's over. We need to retreat."

"I'll use my Unique Skill [Ruler] to gather everyone and create a human shield."

"We'll return to Falmuth and regroup. There's still a chance."

Razen gritted his teeth.

There weren't any better options.

"That's all we can do... I'll leave it to you."

Folgen nodded. "I'll round up the knights. Prepare to fall back."

"Right."

Just as Folgen turned—

SHUNK!

An ice crystal dropped from the sky and pierced straight through his head.

"Eh???"

He collapsed, dead before he hit the ground.

Razen's pupils shrank.

His whole body trembled.

"No... No way..."
