Editing Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut:Volume 8 Episode 4 (section)

===Part 9===

About that time──in front of the Drag-Ride hangar.

The black colored viscous liquid that was mixing into darkness──Chaff Slimes were dropped on the rooftop and began to cover the whole building with its mucus.

Earth Dragon division commander Vine who jumped down toward the Academy ground active his land battle type Divine Drag-Ride.

「Wha──!? Who the hell are you-!?」

「Dragon Marauder huh, then──gugah!?」

Vine wordlessly attacked the guard Drag-Knights who were bewildered seeing the sudden intruder.

Although, he wasn’t launching lethal attack, but lightly hindering the soldiers using Wire Tails.

「We came here to receive a certain thing. You will allow us to search it.」

After telling that with a curt expression, he skated his Drag-Ride on the ground and left from there.

It would be troubling if he showed his strength too much and the Seven Dragon Paladins got called, so he moved only to attract attention.

「The enemy is only one! Cut off the escape path and surround him!」

The soldiers of new kingdom military yelled that. Satisfied of that fact, Vine ran around in a circle at that area for a while.

Vine was devoting himself to evasion. Then ten seconds later, the Wyvern force of Dragon Marauder also descended.

「Hahahah! As expected from nobles, even their elites are nothing much!」

The vigorous and energetic men of Dragon Marauder readied their respective weapon and attacked.

「……Reinforcement!? Then we are going to come at them with our whole army too! All hands, draw your sword!」

The captain of the guard soldiers raised his voice loudly, then the soldiers who still came running drew out their Sword Device simultaneously.

But, even after they muttered the Passcode, their Drag-Ride didn’t appear in front of them.

「──!? What’s the meaning of this, why can’t we summon Drag-Ride!?」

「Hah! Bunch of fools-! Die helplessly like that!」

The soldiers were shaken. In contrast the Dragon Marauder force fired their Breath Gun.

At the shadow of the Drag-Ride hangar where the beacon of the battle starting was raised, there was Airi who was present there by chance. She felt a shudder rising through her body.

「This black Abyss……, it’s the Chaff Slime that Nii-san mentioned……!?」

The new type Abyss that obstructed the Drag-Ride’s control signal, at the same time it would entwine around Drag-Ride and hindered the movement.

Most likely a large amount of this Abyss was dropped on the rooftop of Drag-Ride hangar and then they covered the surface.

It didn’t matter even if the powerful Drag-Rides were safe, if they couldn’t be summoned then they wouldn’t serve any purpose.

The Divine Drag-Rides of Seven Dragon Paladins that were temporarily deployed to here also couldn’t be moved.

This was bad. Airi who instantly discerned the danger tried to run away, it was then that thing appeared.

「You are──!?」

The Drag-Knights of Dragon Marauder and new kingdom military who started fighting each other.

During that time, a beautiful girl wearing pure white dress was standing.

Her smooth and silky silver hair that reached until her shoulder and her blue eyes that were like jewel.

That out of place existence that suddenly appeared out of nowhere didn’t move at the slightest even though it was in a battlefield where light bullets and blades roared. It was only smiling.

「……Huh!? Who are you!?」

「This place is dangerous! Get away right──」

That standing figure that wasn’t running away or even looking scared agitated the men of both sides.

At that time, the girl’s mouth opened wide, and a terrible shriek surged out.

「──IIIIIIIIIIiIIiiIIIIIIIAAAAAAAAAAaAH!」

「……GUAAH!?」

The shriek that shook the atmosphere hit hard the eardrums of anyone who heard it.

(This crying voice, it’s──horn flute!?)

The moment Airi thought of that at the corner of her head, the roar that was resounding for a few seconds stopped.

But, at the same time the tune of the horn flute remained behind like an echo. It was began to get emitted from the body of that girl.

It was as though her very body itself was a cicada shaking its body to play the tune. That human shaped devil was continuing to emit the demonic reverberation that called the Abyss.

「Wha, what is this girl!? She isn’t human!?」

「Eei, doesn’t matter. If she is getting in our way then kill her!」

The new kingdom military and Dragon Marauder each raised their voice fearfully.

「You? What are you──」

Airi reflexively questioned the girl from her hiding.

The moment the girl in dress grinned fearlessly, Airi suddenly recalled a story that she once heard and she shuddered.

「Conflict, killing intent, malice are confirmed. Annihilating the area from here on, bringing salvation.」

The girl’s eyes were tinged with mysterious glint at the same time with that mutter.

Furthermore tentacles with sharp end grew from her whole body and they undulated like whip.

「This is──!?」

Airi was horrified by that repulsive transformation.

The reverberation that resembled the tone color of horn flute was emitted without any sign of stopping. That sound was gradually increasing in loudness.

「It’s calling Abyss? Even though it has the form of human, how──!?」

「Watch out-!」

A tentacle was lashed toward Airi. It was then someone flew from the side and carried her off.

Airi was surprised by the impact. Right after that, she saw the face of the girl who rescued her.

「Celis──senpai?」

「Please be careful Airi. That thing isn’t normal.」

Celis informed Airi so with a tense face.

She withdrew her rapier shaped Sword Device and faced the mystery girl with vigilance──but, her expression was instantly clouded.

「What’s the matter Celis? Did you see something bad, my proud disciple?」

「Wade, sensei……」

The figure of the unknown existence transformed into the shape of her teacher in the past.

Right after tentacles grew out once more from its whole body and they scattered everywhere to the surrounding.
