"Um... don't force yourself, even though as a princess, I can't join your battle! But please, don't die!"

"Princess Michelle, those words aren't very encouraging..."

"Anyway, please don't die! The nearby army will come to help as quickly as possible. All you need to do is open the city gates and let innocent people escape!"

The airship was approaching above King City, and we all wore the gliders designed by Dell, preparing to parachute directly into King City.

Although Princess Michelle wanted to join our mission, she was persuaded by all of us to stay on the airship.

Yaling stayed with her, and from the moment we met, she had been mostly watching us without saying a word. But it seemed like she really wanted to join us, although I didn't know why she ultimately didn't.

Could it be because something strange happened after modifying her memories? It seems I'll have to confirm it later.

"Well, don't worry. Even if I fall straight into hell and come back alive, what do you have to be afraid of?"

I smiled and walked to the cabin door.

"See you later! I haven't had a chance to properly tour the Ais Empire yet, so don't forget after everything is over!"

"You don't need to worry about that!"

Just as Princess Michelle finished speaking, I flipped backwards and jumped down.

At the same time, the others also jumped out one by one.

"Baimoon, can I entrust you with the east gate?"

"No problem."

Baimoon nodded while carrying the unconscious Black Loli.

It seemed like Black Loli was very afraid of heights, so Baimoon had to glide with her in his arms. Although there was a suggestion for her to stay on the airship, she insisted on joining everyone.

"Very well, Gabriel, can you handle the north gate by yourself?"

"Yes."

Gabriel replied directly.

But of course, with his strength, it shouldn't be a problem dealing with those shikigami.

"Then..."

"I want to be in the same group as my brother!"

Before I could finish speaking, Oyado swiftly passed by me, exclaiming loudly.

"Ah, ah, I want to be in Fir's group too! Otherwise, who knows what kind of crazy things this pervert will do?"

Aliyah immediately spoke next to her.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't slander me. What have I done?"

"It's precisely because we're worried about what you might do that we have to prevent it in advance!"

"How rude. I wouldn't do anything you imagine! You all don't understand my element!"

"Huh? Your element? What is it?"

"I'm not stupid. Why would I tell you?"

I adjusted my posture slightly and prepared to dive.

"Dell, take Lois to the west gate, and we'll take care of the south gate."

"Alright, alright. Can I expect research funding for this?"

"I suppose... "

This guy was still thinking about money at a time like this? He had already claimed ownership over a griffin (corpse).

"Let's talk about that later. If we don't work hard now, we won't get anything, right?"

"You're right."

After saying that, this guy pulled Lois, who was desperately trying to maintain her balance, and in her screams, he rushed towards the west gate.

"Now, it's a matter of life and death."

Saying that, I copied the title I saw on Oyado and sent it directly to her.

She paused for a moment, then looked at Oyado and then at me.

"So, everyone, let's deal with the enemy first, and we can discuss other matters later, okay?"

"Of course! We've thought about many ways to punish you on our way here. So, clean your neck for me."

"We'll talk about it later~"

After resolving things here and completing the mission at the Sui family, I'll find a way to return to the academy. It's really stressful to stay in someone else's territory.

After saying that, I dove straight down.

"If you dare to lay a hand on my brother, I will not spare you!" Oyado yelled as she followed me into the fight.

"You... wait..."

Of course, Aliyah couldn't be left out.

-------------loading-------------

"Alright, this height should do."

Estimating the ground height, I said. Although it was just an estimate, based on the strange tasks and physics details in the game that have been restored to their original form, I could roughly judge the distance from the ground with my naked eye.

"This distance?"

"Jump!"

Just as we passed over what seemed like a square, I released the glider behind me without waiting for Aliyah to finish her question, and headed straight down towards the square filled with shikigami!

"Arcane·Gale Storm!"

Blasphemer pointed downwards, and after a moment, a green tornado rose directly from the ground, catching us and sweeping away a large group of shikigami on the square, then throwing them away.

And because our teammates were not harmed, we wouldn't be affected at the top of the tornado.

"That... that scared me! You should explain this kind of tactic in advance!"

"There's no way to do that. I came up with it on the spot."

I shrugged.

"It's rare to have a god's perspective, so it's easier to attack, thus I decided to descend directly. After all, with so many enemies nearby, it would be difficult to fight them directly."

"You..."

"Hmph! If you want to stick by big brother's side, you can't lack this kind of courage!" Oyado pointed at Aliyah.

"You should get used to this kind of thing!"

Hey, hey, even though you're speaking on my behalf, it's better to not get used to this kind of thing. I still prefer the normal grinding, leveling up, and making money. It's better to do less of these cool and flashy things.

"Alright, alright, let's prepare to face the enemy, there are still quite a lot of them."

It was troublesome with just nine of them before, but now there were at least dozens of various shikigami around us. Although many soldiers and humanoid fighters were also fighting them, the power difference between the two sides was too great.

We could clearly feel this.

However...

Those shikigami that were knocked out by the tornado and hit a wall actually turned into paper scraps, which surprised me quite a bit.

Could it be that they have become more fragile despite their combat power not changing? Is it because there are more of them?

Slowly, the tornado dissipated, and we landed in the center of the shikigami.

"Alright, everyone, the first goal is to open the city gate, the second goal is to eliminate the shikigami, then the mission begins!"

After finishing speaking, I pointed forward.

"Arcane·Chaotic Shadow - ninety-nine ice arrows!"
