Chapter 306 Escape Drama
「Found you!」
Alezel approaches the intercept point where Haru and others are waiting at a tremendous speed. Apparently, she found the correct route to that point, and her running is so exuberant that she seems to be out of control. But seeing that she’s running while skipping, I can see that she’s not running seriously. Even so, when asked if the girls could catch Alezel, honestly, it would be difficult as it is even if it’s on a narrow passage.
「Haruna, I leave it to you!」
「Yes! If it’s here, I can use magic without breaking the rules!」
Haru applied a certain magic on the passage extended in front of her. That magic name is Gravas, a magic that stretches a net of supergravity over a wide area. She plans to stop Alezel as much as possible with that.
「I see. If you use this in the middle of the botanical garden, the plants will be crushed. But, if it’s here――」
「Yes! It’s okay because the floor is very sturdy in this labyrinth left by Chinatsu-chan!」
「She was thinking that far in that instant, huh. Even this labyrinth has the same structure as the attraction we played yesterday, right? We were lost for quite a long time and it was only yesterday, so I still remember the correct route!」
「That’s right. We’re fortunate that the Quitet Trading Company isn’t the investor of that attraction and Alezel-sama didn’t know the structure. Well, even if they were the investor, it’s not always the case that the director would know everything about the structure.」
You even have such a leisure facility, huh, Damaya!? W-Well, the mystery of the labyrinth has been solved, and it seems that the girls were enjoying Damaya yesterday, so it’s fine. And Zeta, Alezel will inspect everything from A to Z if she invests in something, so if it’s the latter, you’re completely out of luck.
「Although it is a little, thanks to the time I have gained, my stamina has recovered. I will also work as a vanguard by that amount. Haruna-san, how heavy is this space?」
「I’ve extended the range to quite a bit further, so I guess it’s roughly 10 times heavier. But if Zeta-san or Touko-chan goes there, I will adjust it well and return it to the original gravity.」
「Oh, that’s great.」
「I understand. It’s just that my moves will be quite tricky, so if it’s too difficult, just abandon the adjustment. Also, let’s scatter some mines. ――Elector Mine.」
A number of lightning balls began to be released from the Zeta’s artificial hand and scattered into Haru’s gravity zone. Elector Mine is a level 50 Purple Lightning Magic. As she said, these balls of lightning are like mines floating in the air, and they will unleash a powerful electric shock on the surrounding area when touched or at any time if the user decided so. Even though Zeta is a swordsman, she also uses a high-level magic, which makes me feel complicated as someone who has a magician disciple.
「Oh, what a splendid reception! I’m looking forward to it!」
Contrary to me, Alezel’s emotions seemed to have reached the climax when she arrived in front of the girls. Now, it’s the raid of the Great Eight Demons. There’s no time to plan a strategy. And Alezel, you’ll have to wait for the mercenary battle later to relieve your overwhelming emotions, okay?
「… I’m going!」
Almost as soon as Alezel entered the gravity zone, Zeta also set foot there. She’s holding a unique sword in her hand, and the lightning on the blade seems to be rotating. Or rather, it’s actually rotating. I thought it was a kind of chainsaw, but now it looks like a whip. Is that a kind of whip sword? Anyway, it seems to have a wide attack range.
If you enter Haru’s full gravity zone, even the Great Eight Demons Alezel-chan’s speed will decrease. From what Haru said, your weight will increase by ten times, so that result is natural.
Zeta, on the other hand, is running through the gravity zone without any change as if she’s not affected by gravity. No, she’s rather fast, I guess? Ah, I see. Haru is adjusting the magic to make it lighter only where Zeta is. That damn Haru, she’s good. As your master, I’m proud of you!
…… But even so, Alezel is still far faster, and the possibility of her being touched is extremely low.
「Zeta-han, no need to hold back!」
「Just what I hope for!」
The large sword approaches Alezel, crawling on the walls and floor of the labyrinth while making tremendous sounds of mechanical and lightning. With the mines of electric shock in the air and the whip chainsaw on the floor, the escape routes are blocked one by one. Now, how will Alezel overturn this situation?
「Hoi!」
「――!」
Alezel jumped to avoid the whip chainsaw and started to change her course in the air using 『Air Kick』. Yeah, Alezel’s escape routes are the whole space. Of course, she has mastered this Skill that’s derived from Jump. Just like that, Alezel slipped through next to Zeta.
「Hahaha, that was unfortunate! But Zeta-han, you have good prospects that you made me use this――」
「――Ignite.」
There was a tremendous explosion sound. Flames are shooting out of Zeta’s artificial arm and Legs, and she’s heading toward Alezel with tremendous force. I was so surprised that I opened my eyes wide. It was also unexpected for Alezel, she showed a surprised expression for the first time since this play tag started.
「Whoa!?」
「Kuh…!」
However, Alezel avoided Zeta’s rocket tackle, which is probably her hidden trump card, without touching the mines floating next to her. The pursuit attack of the whip chainsaw that came later also ended in failure.
「This is the last…! I leave the rest to you――」
Before finishing her words, Zeta detonated the mines she scattered all at once. Then, the waves of electric shock filled the passage.
「There!」
Realizing that Zeta has run out of power and won’t get in the way, Touko turned her accumulated ki into innumerable bullets and fired time into the waves of electric shock.
「Haruna! Did you feel something hitting!?」
「In the net of gravity, there was a flow of magic power that seemed to hit something!」
「Seriously!? Then, this game is our――」
「――No, it’s not over yet, y’know?」
「「!?」」
The dust created by the storm-like attack. There, Alezel appeared gallantly, using the fainted Zeta as a shield. What Haru felt was Touko’s ki bullet hitting Zeta’s body. As for Alezel, she’s unhurt and she doesn’t seem to be exposed to the electric shock.
「…! How dare you use Zeta as a shield!」
「Whether I used her as a shield or not, it didn’t change the fact that Zeta-han still remained on the battlefield, y’know? Touko-chan, you’re terrible~. Attacking your own friend, you’re a terrible woman!」
「Shut up! You’re just an idiot who’s focusing only on speed and has no power!」
Alezel throws away the shield (Zeta) and leans forward. Touko concentrates her ki on her right arm and prepares for the next move. As for Haru, she’s a few steps behind Touko and is eerily quiet.
