Editing Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut:Volume 13 Episode 4 (section)

===Part 11===
「Hah, do they think they can defeat that huh? Although they had only just woken up and not in their best condition, those things are Ragnarok yeah? There ain’t no way a mish-mash gathering of you bastards can hope to match them!」

The one stepping forward in front of the old castle wearing Drake was a silver haired Lord──Hayes.

Niddhogg had been tuned, but if she used that and fought using her full strength, she would die from exhaustion after only twice.

Thus, she was using general purpose Drag-Ride Drake that put little burden on her until now and observed the battle situation.

No instruction came from Listeka in the Heaven Palace.

Mishis was exhausted from destroying the Sacred Eclipse, and Fugil was serving as Listelka’s guard.

And then Listelka also had no spare strength from interfering with Avalon’s system.

Therefore right now it was only the seven Ragnarok that were the cornerstone of the Lord faction’s battle force.

First the swift runner ice wolf Fenrir circled around toward the fortress and breathed out its freezing breath.

「U, AAAAH!?」

「Ku──!」

A part of the alliance army──the elite Drag-Knights were late in escaping.

Alterize who was leading it groaned in distress.

But, a land battle type Drag-Ride stood before her eyes and instantly melted the freezing.

「──Isn’t this pathetic? If you are also someone who originated from Ymir Theocracy, then a coldness of this level should be nothing right?」

「Mel Gizalut!」

After Alterize spontaneously yelled so, Mel brushed up her platinum colored hair and smiled.

She directed that mischievous gaze toward the ice wolf and readied the Halberd of Ddraig Gwiber.

「But well, you have run out of luck to encounter me here. My second name is the Subjugator──I cannot let Abyss live.」

「GU, RURURURURURURURURUu…..!」

The huge ice wolf raised a ferocious roar and leaped.

The Divine Drag-Ride Ddraig Gwiber that Mel was wearing possessed Divine Raiment of Dual Shift that manipulated heat.

Therefore, her affinity toward Fenrir that was breathing out absolute zero breath was excellent.

Furthermore Ddraig Gwiber possessed transformation function to change from land battle type to flying type.

Changing battle style freely depending on the battle situation was where Mel showed her true worth with her genius sense.

「URURU……GURYaAAAAH!」

Fenrir also seemed to sense that simple freezing attack wouldn’t work against Mel, it used its huge fangs and claws to attack.

In respond Mel saw that ground battle was disadvantageous and switched her Ddraigh Gwiber to Wyvern Mode.

She glided away with explosive speed and launched a counterattack toward Fenrir’s back.

–

──At the neighboring spot that was 300 ml from there.

There were many remaining ruined buildings with alleys that crisscrossed complicated like a maze.

The Ragnarok of unlimited regeneration which possessed innumerable tentacles──Poseidon, and Rosa Granhide were locked in battle.

Rosa drove her dark grey land battle type Divine Drag-Ride Gorynych. She was backing away while exchanging attack with the enemy.

The countless tentacles growing out from underground would attack consecutively once they captured their target and they would become unmanageable.

Thus, Rosa was weaving her way through the alleys while swinging her Scythe and escaped from the pursuing attacks.

『It’s really unfortunate huuuh, Rosa. You won’t be able to defeat this guy with the mere strength of a bastard like you y’know?』

A jerr came from Hayes who was watching from far away while wearing a Drake.

But, Rosa kept grinning fearlessly without getting agitated.

Hayes who was once temporarily placed in the post of Heiburg’s strategist knew about Rosa’s existence.

She knew her as a subordinate of the King of Vices──Calensia who made a deal with her, furthermore she heard from Calensia about Rosa’s true nature that was just a coward who was threatened to act as strong person.

『Can’t you stop acting like that even after your owner died? Even if you were just forced to act a lie as inhuman character, your sin of assisting with evil deeds ain’t gonna disappear. That weak and flimsy heart is impossible to change!』

「…………」

『If you betray that womanizer ruined prince and change side to here once more, I’ll at least spare your life y’know?』

Hayes who was limited in the number of times she could fight schemed to shake Rosa with mental attack so that she would make a mistake in her fight.

Perhaps Hayes’s scheme was going well──or perhaps it was Poseidon’s strength that was superior, because Rosa was cornered into a dead-end, and countless tentacles finally captured her.

『HYAHAHAHAH! Looks like you don’t even have anything to say back huh! After all without anyone making use of you──without anyone brainwashing you, you cannot even control yourself. You can’t even fight properly!』

Hayes’s insults were continuously hurled at Rosa.

But, in respond Rosa formed a disappointed smile and only muttered with her eyes looking down.

「──What a pitiful woman eeh. Aren’t you yourself unable to do anything if you don’t borrow the name and history of the Lord? Are you planning to be like that until you die I wondeeer?」

『What……!?』

Hayes’s voice roughened hearing those words.

「Really what an embarrassment. After getting into the opposite side and looking, for the first time I understand the wretchedness of myself at that time. Averting your eye from reality by simply doing as you are told by someone else, running away into the strength of dream, that appearance is really similar.」

Rosa formed her words dispassionately as though mocking herself.

『Are you bastard planning to confuse yourself with me?』

「As expected no way I’ll do that. I don’t plan to deny my foolishness in the past but, it’s still better than an idiot who cannot get cured even in death seee. The reason why you are trying to torment every people in this world, everything is just you venting your anger riight?」

『You bastaard──』

「I heard from that girl Soffice. The imperial family the Lord──all of you met treason several hundred years ago, and then you all got knocked off from being the ruler of the world. Your pride that is the foundation of your self was stolen, and so you can’t help but hating the people of the world right now, right?」

The constriction of Poseidon’s tentacles was tightening with grinding sound, and cracks ran through the armor Rosa was wearing.

It was an absolutely desperate predicament where death was thrust before her eyes.

Even so the girl grinned fearlessly.

「Spare me from being the comrade of you guys for the second time. No matter how much you guys bluff or show off your strength, it’s simply that you guys can only express yourself by doing that. There is not a single person who will want to work under such childish people you know?」

『……Then, you can die like that! Become Poseidon’s feed and perish!』

「My baaad but, spare me from that too.」

Rosa answered right away. In that instant, the tentacles crushed the armor.

But, right after that the figure of Rosa herself who was wearing the Drag-Ride vanished, and that armor exploded from inside.

『──!?』

Witnessing that, Hayes noticed.

The Rosa who was captured by tentacles until now was an unmanned Drag-Ride that was Gorynych’s special armament, Twelve Vice.

Furthermore it was combined with the special armament Sin Phantom that produced illusion, and it became a decoy that was camouflaged as Rosa herself.

「VAaAaAA……!」

The countless tentacles that captured the decoy were showered by the armor fragments that were tinged with high heat. Poseidon shrieked.

At the same time, the real Rosa appeared from the shadow of a ruined building.

She swung down her large sized Scythe and buried the blade into the stone paving.

「UUaAA-!?」

「As I thought, so the main body is theree? The regeneration speed is faster the closer the body part is to the main body. To keep hiding underground like this──it’s like it’s a similar fellow with me eeeh.」

Rosa’s smile looked mixed with irony somewhere.

But, she didn’t relax her attacking hand.

「Hayes. It’s just as you say you knoow, disguise is my specialty. But that isn’t for the sake of laying the blame of my crime to this personality or running away anymore.」

『…………』

Rosa touched her Sword Device and further summoned the remaining ten Twelve Vice.

She disassembled them, linked and combined them, and her figure changed in the blink of eye.

Gorynych’s Divine Raiment, Tartaros Frame. Its real ability was displayed her.

「Tartaros Frame – Rapid Fire Mode.」

The muzzles of countless weapons like Cannon or Breath Gun were taken into its front surface, forming an atypical appearance.

The Drag-Ride’s figure was completely changed into a fortress that was specialized for attack.

「It’s to continue carrying the burden for me to keep being me you knoow? Even if it was a part that was created from Calensia’s threat, there is no doubt that it is a part of me seee. That’s why──」

Heiburg’s King of Vices.

The ruler who brainwashed her and created this mask. Now she would use this mask not for that person’s sake, but for herself.

She traced the personality of Rosa Granhide, an overbearing and dangerous powerful person.

「Now I’ll defeat this thing, for my sake and for Lux-sama.」
