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

===Part 1===
「What is this, just what in the world is going on!?」

「Calm down! Students who can fight, draw your swords! First get out of the building and wear your Drag-Rides!」

Tillfur was raising a loud voice in bewilderment. Besides her, Sharis was also anxious while also raising her voice.

The Academy’s girl’s dormitory, late at night.

In front of the girls who were enjoying the passing night of the Holy Night Festival, hell manifested suddenly.

Various Abyss suddenly appeared inside the girl’s dormitory and they began to destroy the inside of the building fiercely.

It was an abnormality that visited without any advance notice.

Bearing Soffice’s case in mind, Sharis and the others were on guard against surprise attacks from Dragon Marauder, but as expected they couldn’t completely hide their anxiety.

「Where is Noct!? Have her grasp the situation around here with Drake’s radar and request Syvalles to sortie! At this rate we are going to get annihilated!」

Sharis swallowed the scream of terror that was threatening to squeeze out from her throat and gave an order with a firmness that befitted her status as a leader.

But, the situation was worsening by the second.

Finally the Abyss bit a hole into a room of a sleeping female student and swallowed a girl inside.

「……-!? Stop! Let go of her!」

「It’s impossible Sharis! We won’t be able to do anything without our Drag-Rides!」

Sharis pulled out her Sword Device and she was going to slash, but Tillfur clung on her and stopped her.

Sharis bit her lower lip hard until it bleed. Then she went out to the entrance of the atrium from the girl’s dormitory’s corridor and drew out her Sword Device.

「──Come, the winged dragon of crest that is the symbol of power. Obey my sword and soar, EX Wyvern!」

「──Come, the dragon that symbolizes immortality. Turn into a chain of earth fang, EX Wyrm!」

Both of them wore the strengthened type general purpose Drag-Rides that they were barely able to use due to Lisha’s tuning.

The energy consumption was intense and it was disadvantageous for protracted battles, but in order to overturn the current hopeless situation, they wanted as much power as possible even if just for a little more.

「Noct! Where are you!? Is Airi-chan safe!?」

「……Y.e.s. She is safe. I secured her.」

Sharis and Tillfur were relieved hearing the familiar voice and turned around.

But, the moment they saw that sight, they froze.

「No,ct?」

「Airi, chan……?」

It was Noct there.

But, the girl’s features were obviously different from the usual her.

There was no trace at all of her expression that was taciturn but intelligent. Her face was tinged with emptiness while her pupils were shaking like a pendulum.

She wasn’t wearing a Drake, but black tentacles were growing from her back as though a parasite Abyss was in her.

And then, the girl who was wearing uniform was carefully holding something in her arms. It was the head──of the girl who should be her roommate and her best friend.

「What’s wrong? Where is Lux-san? Let’s gather everyone quickly. If they become like this then──nobody else will be killed.」

「──U, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!」

Cold sweat oozed out from the whole body of Sharis and Tillfur along with a shriek.

Some kind of Abyss acted as a parasite in Noct and broke her heart.

Lux’s little sister Airi was killed.

She was beyond help already.

They didn’t have any face to look at them anymore.

She would have to deal with her important childhood friend who had stayed by her side as a servant until now with her own hands.

Ruled by that despair and resentment, Sharis swung up her Drag-Ride’s Blade following her impulse.

「What are you doing Sharis? Please return to your senses.」

「Stop! Stop it! I don’t want! Something like this──!」

Sharis swung down her EX Wyvern’s Blade as though to reject the reality.

However it didn’t cut down Noct’s neck. Something deflected it from the side.

「──Stop it both of you! That is a fake!」

A faint green light entered their sight along with a sharp voice.

『……Perception, change.』

Right after that, the field of vision of Sharis and Tillfur warped flabbily and the surroundings returned to the corridor of the girl’s dormitory that was still pristine.

「Wha-……!?」

「Wha, what’s going on!?」

The sight until now that was like a nightmare changed and returned to the proper world.

Even the room that looked like it was broken into now actually only had its wall dented a little.

And then, Noct who was in front of them didn’t look odd anywhere except that she had her Sword Device drawn out while taking a stance.

「What……happened?」

Noct also muttered with a dumbfounded tone.

When they noticed and looked closer, although the warning sound of the bell tower could be heard, the girl’s dormitory was exactly like normal.

「You all had an illusion shown to you. Your mind was eroded by a special sound wave.」

Beside the Triad who were facing each other, there was Coral with his Sword Device unsheathed when they noticed.

He was wearing the military uniform of the Vanheim Principality with his hair braided like usual. His expression was tense.

His appearance was familiar just like before, but one of his eyes looked faintly shining in yellow green color.

「Mind erosion with sound……? Then, the scene just now──」

「Yes. it was the work of the great demon called Iblis, the Ragnarok that existed in the Garden. It’s heading here from the direction of the practice ground. Surely it’s planning to crush this Academy in this chance──no, don’t tell me……」

Coral’s words halted in the middle and he fell into thought.

「Then, all the students who are affected by this sound wave are dangerous? If we don’t head to intercept the Ragnarok, we will be affected by its illusion again later?」

Coral nodded with a serious gaze at Sharis’s question.

「For now plug your ears. If you don’t try to get out from here then fatal damage can be prevented. I will call Lux-kun and the others to exterminate the Ragnarok, so you three, please save the Academy’s students and staff. Perhaps because a lot of the students are sleeping, there is still no victim, but if the number of people waking up increases from the sounds of battle after this, then friendly fire will be increasing.」

「N, NOOoOOOO-……! The Abyss, the Abyss is inside the dormitory──!?」

A shrill scream rose from inside the corridor and a girl wearing pajamas could be seen swinging around her Sword Device.

The Triad immediately put their guard up, but the girl suddenly flopped down in the middle.

「──Good grief. Even though I heard that the Holy Night is a time to be quiet.」

「Wait, Yoruka!?」

Tillfur raised a surprised voice. A girl in only her underwear appeared from the other side of the corridor.

She was in a state where many of her body parts were bandaged due to injury while one arm and one leg were fixed in place with splint, but she knocked down the girls attacking her with the cane supporting her body.

「It seems that thanks to the Baptism that was applied to my left eye, I am able to resist the illusion. Aa, there is no need to worry about the girl. I only made her faint.」

「…………」

Even though Yoruka herself was seriously injured and couldn’t wear a Drag-Ride, she subdued the girl who was rampaging due to the illusion in a flash.

The height of that skill and the precision of her attack caused the Triad to be in admiration once more.

「Then, it will be fine if the four of us make all the students here to sleep correct?」

When Yoruka talked to Coral who was similarly watching in astonishment, the young man nodded after hesitating for a bit.

「Yes──everyone, I’ll leave it to you.」

After saying only that, Coral sheathed his sword and ran outside.

At the same time, the leader of the Triad, Sharis gave the order.

「Noct! Call out to the main force of Syvalles with your Drake! As soon as you detect the presence of Lux and the others, we will leave the Ragnarok to them and return to suppress the inside of the Academy! Let’s go!」

「Yes. Let’s hurry.」

「Rooogerr」

「My my, me too isn’t it.」

When the three and Yoruka nodded, the mission started at the same time.

Noct wore her Drake in order to convey the fact they obtained from Coral.

She confirmed the situation around the girl’s dormitory using radar while calling out to Syvalles’s members using Dragon Voice, then quickly there was one reaction.
