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

===Part 17===

At the arena’s ring.

In front of the door of the conference room on the second floor inside the castle.

And then in front of the front gate of the castle. Around the time the battles started at those places.

Above Gigas that came to a stop just a few hundred mel until the palace, a mortal combat was unfolding.

On the balcony located at Gigas’s right shoulder, the duel of Lisha versus Hayes was being carried out.

Lisha was firing her throwing weapons, the Legion, to hold back her opponent while using the Seven Heads that she equipped by using supplemental equipment transfer aiming to fire a bombardment, but her attack was altogether deflected by the two-bladed sword Hayes handled, she was completely held back.

Even so Lisha was still calm, she kept shooting her Legion one shot at a time.

「You got cold feet? With that kind of attack, I won’t even need to use Nidhogg’s Divine Raiment you know?」

Hayes closed the distance bit by bit while showing a fearless smile and talked in provocation.

But, in contrast Lisha kept glaring quietly at Nidhogg as though she wasn’t budging even an inch.

「You’re wrong──. A bit more.」

And then, she whispered faintly like that with an expression as though she was heightening her focus.

「Or else, are you perhaps trying to buy time until your friends come to help? ──You incompetent.」

Hayes’s Nidhogg that was being held back by Breath Gun suddenly accelerated and drew near.

She slashed at Tiamat as though striking using her two-bladed sword that possessed two blades at opposite ends of the handle.

「Kuuh……!?」

Lisha barely blocked using her barrier, but a part of her armor chipped due to the impact that pierced through.

After Lisha took further distance to the back, the sky was right behind her.

「What’s up? Aren’t you the princess who possesses both talents as a researcher and a Drag-Knight? Looks like that’s just excessive flattery by this peace idiot country huh!」

Hayes floated a faint grin. In response Lisha let out a sigh.

「Certainly, that might be an excessive title for me. ──But」

Lisha whispered in self-deprecation like that while pulling out her Sword Device.

And then, she quickly swung it and pointed at Hayes.

「I haven’t fallen that low that I need someone like you to worry about me!」

Two Legions were fired at the same time with that yell.

The two armaments that approached at high speed were deflected by the two-bladed sword, it was at that moment that something unusual happened.

「……What-!?」

Another Legion that was hiding in the shadow of the second Legion hit Nidhogg and sent it flying backward.

It was a concealed shootingHide Shot by making use of Legion that was a throwing weapon with physical substance.

Lisha accurately grasped the opponent’s line of sight and positioning and made her attack succeed using advanced technique where accurate trajectory manipulation was indispensable. At that moment, the cannon Lisha readied had its trigger pulled and it fired.

Right after that, the shot impacted Nidhogg that had its movement stopped and its frame was enveloped in flame.
