Editing Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut:Volume 7 Episode 4 (section)

===Part 11===

「Wha, what are you doing! Mel Gizalut!? Your enemy should be the Abyss!」

The scream of Pope Nias reverberated through the snow field.

The special armament of Ddraig Gwiber’s Wyvern Mode, Ground Buster, its second shot hit the ground right below. The aftershock from that impact also dragged the Sanctuary Knight Order members into it.

No death resulted just barely, but the foothold at the surrounding collapsed, and the Drag-Knights were cornered to a disadvantaged position.

The abandoned building of the old sanctuary site was already collapsing until no trace of its original shape remained.

「………….」

But, even when the pope reprimanded like that, Mel’s expression didn’t change.

She was just directing that cold gaze that was completely chilled like ice toward the place where Krulcifer vanished.

Thanks to the augmentation from Elixir, the lack of her stamina was compensated, but in exchange she became unable to control her emotion.

The hatred toward Krulcifer and the destructive impulse were completely ruling her body.

「Next bullet, loading……」

The attack wasn’t in the shape of energy torrent, it was a warhead of Ground Buster that possessed physical substance. It had to be formed anew every time, so the attack couldn’t be fired consecutively.

The cannon muzzle was kept directed to the Ruin right below, while Mel was hovering in the air.

The battle wouldn’t end until she dealt the final blow to Krulcifer.

Until the outer shell of Ruin collapsed, she would fire no matter how many times. Sensing that, the members of Sanctuary Knight Order were shaking.

「……I’ll end this. I’ll destroy something like Ruin.」

「……Kuh, at this rate──!?」

Alterize desperately swung her twin swords and finished off the remaining Abyss, but she had no leeway in order to protect the wounded comrades and Pope Nias.

She was made to stand at the depth of despair without being able to even aid Lux and Krulcifer.
