Editing Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut:Volume 5 Episode 4 (section)

===Part 10===

「Just what should we do……!?」

「I, is there anyone who knows about the mechanism of the fifth Ruin!? At this rate, the capital will──」

The officer Drag-Knights who protected the New Kingdom were surrounding Gigas using Wyverns in order to attack it, yet they were at a loss helplessly.

They had tried roughly every kind of attack, but the steel fortress existing before their eyes wasn’t affected at all. They were unable to even hold it back.

In this situation where it wasn’t even a fight, the officers almost fell into despair. It was then they could hear it.

「Looking tedious huh──you ignorant uncivilized bunch of riffraff.」

「Wha-……!?」

Suddenly, a voice came from the head part of Gigas. Stir ran through the flying officers of the New Kingdom.

The strategist Hayes who colluded with the Heiburg Republic was wearing a huge silver grey armor, standing above Gigas’s head.

「You, you bastard──are you the mastermind who is controlling this Ruin!?」

「──Nope, you got it wrong, I’m the savior. I’ll stand at the top to rule this world in the place of you incompetent bunches. Rejoice you livestock, your honored owner finally came after a long time you know?」

「Bunch of nonsense……! Fire-!」

Several officers aimed at Hayes and pulled their Cannons’ triggers simultaneously.

The concentrated cannon fire from dozens of Wyverns continued and caused a violent explosion blast.

──But,

「You can cut it already. I got the gist.」

Hayes raised a calm voice while being in the middle of a maelstrom of bombing that even a Divine Drag-ride with its barrier deployed couldn’t possibly stay unharmed.

「I, it’s not……working!? No, there is no way──」

In front of Hayes was a layer of round shaped light wall──.

Not the slightest attack reached beyond that partition.

Rather than calling it a barrier, it was as though space itself was cut off.

「──I’m late with the introduction huh. The name of my Divine Drag-Ride is <Nidhogg>. Its Divine Raiment’s name is──<Astral LineSeverer>」

Hayes displayed a wicked smile and the armor’s arm readied a sword with peculiar shape.

The sword had a long blade that was several times the length of a normal Blade. At its handle’s opposite side there was also the same blade lengthening, a uniquely shaped blade──two-bladed sword.

When Hayes who was wearing Nidhogg carelessly swung down the atypically shaped sword that was tinged with the light of its Divine Raiment,

「Be, be careful! Deploy your barrier at maximum output──!」

The world was split into two, along with the officers’ armor and the maximum output barrier they deployed.
