Editing Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut:Volume 12 Episode 6 (section)

===Part 10===
Above Lisha and Dragon Marauder.

Inside the virtual Battle Space that existed inside the seventh Ruin Moon.

After obtaining Soffice’s cooperation, Lux was forced into disadvantage facing Deus ex Machina.

Soffice who was watching that sight from above along with Airi in the neighboring observation room tried to assist, but Airi stopped her believing that it was Lux’s plan.

「Got it.」

Seeing Airi’s serious gaze, Soffice nodded.

「If the worrywart you believes until that much, then surely it’s not wrong.」

Replying like that, Soffice lifted her Sword Device once more and sent her thought.

The instant kill attack that was impossible to defend against, the space compression that Deus ex Machina unleashed.

The moment Lux leaped backward and escaped from that, the Ragnarok stretched out its huge arms in a pursuing attack.

The offensive of the Ragnarok was gradually quickening and Bahamut’s armor started to get grazed.

And then, finally Deus ex Machina caught up to Lux’s movement.

「Nii-san──!」

Airi clenched both her hands tightly and prayed.

The surrounding space of Lux warped and he was going to get crushed. In that instant, crimson flash surged out from Bahamut.

「──Reload on Fire!」

In a radius of several ml with Lux as the center──which was the place that had just become the target of the space compression, the Divine Raiment of compression and strengthening was applied.

The time of space compression that was unleashed by Deus ex Machina was lengthened. In that timing, the fist that the Ragnarok shot out thrust in.

「──iOOoooOOON」

The moment it caught Lux with a blow and it became convinced of victory, Lux was sent flying from that place by the impact. In exchange the Ragnarok moved forward.

At that moment, the space compression that was decelerated by Reload on Fire operated with several times more speed. The Ragnarok’s main body that was in that space was squashed like cotton candy.

「……GI, iOooOoOOOOONN!」

It raised a high pitched shriek that sounded similar like creaking metallic sound. Deus ex Machina came to a stop.

Because the space in front of it was compressed and it got hit by its own ability, even the hardy shell that was comprised from dozens of layered Mythrildite couldn’t do anything.

「Making it get hit by its own attack……. So that’s his aim.」

Soffice who understood Lux’s strategy watched in fascination and muttered.

He was an absurd young man just like the rumor said.

Understanding that he would be unable to destroy the Ragnarok alone in this situation, he skillfully led it into a tactic that made it self-destruct.

The ability to discover that possibility in a short time and the guts to carry it out.

The discernment to grab the perfect timing.

「Airi. Right now I understand your feelings that put your trust in your big brother. Mahapurana!」

At the same time, Soffice who was staying still until now to gather strength activated Vritra’s Divine Raiment.

Trajectory control──with the power that governed over material’s movement, the half-destroyed body of Deus ex Machina was pulled away from Lux.

「……GI, OooOO-!?」

The Ragnarok was sent flying in high speed inside the spherical space and crashed strongly on the wall behind.

It fell face up from the impact. At that moment, it was accelerated once more to the front without any time to land first.

「So, it’s like that.」

Airi who was watching from the broken window of the observation room muttered. At that time Lux was already finished preparing.

「Recoil Burst-!」

Lux charged with Bahamut and released the gathered strength towards Deus ex Machina that was sent flying at high speed.

The flash of great sword that was produced from the accumulation of strength until the utmost limits penetrated the half destroyed shell and smashed the core.

Distorted shriek and metal fragments scattered inside the Battle Space, and before long silence returned.
