Editing Hagure Yuusha no Aesthetica:Volume 5 Chapter 2 (section)

===Part 8===
 
In the central route Disdiya's soldiers were gradually pushing up the invasion line.
 
Facing such a situation Nanase Haruka made a somewhat grave expression.
 
...... I'm practically being beaten back by them.
 
The battle in the central channel has been going on for three hours. Haruka was still using magic to attack, while the enemy has been readjusting their countermeasures to it.
 
Disdiya's soldiers were used to the terrain, since the majority of their country was a desert, and their military was mostly comprised of earth magic users. Haruka's wind magic was on the opposite end of the spectrum. So to speak, they have the worst relationship compatibility with each other. The wind created by her magic was just obstructed by an object they created with their earth magic. The fight began with a sandstorm, strictly speaking this was only meant as a surprise attack. In fact the magical ability of Disdiya to manipulate sand was greater than Haruka's, so long ago her sandstorm magic became ineffective.
 
The situation grew into a test of who can hold out the longest. She started out with all kinds of various magics to attack, but the enemy quickly adapted to it then started to use their magic to strike back. For some time now both sides have been going all out with their offensives. Haruka needed to break out from this pattern to once more push them back. Through changing her magic with even more different permutations and combinations she could buy more time.  
 
...... At least the number of soldiers were substantially reduced.
 
However, Disdiya was capable sending the soldiers on the front lines to back in order to rest. Then replaced them with fresh soldiers who could still fight. If it continues like this they will breakthrough Haruka's defensive perimeter when she exhaust's her stamina.
 
But -- Nanase Haruka was undaunted. She turned her head and glanced up at Akatsuki standing on the cliff.
 
...... I believe in you.
 
She thought the strategy he came up with beforehand was worthy of trust. Therefore, all she had to do was defend the battlefield until her physical strength and energy runs out.
 
That was what she secretly swore in her heart as she turned her head back forward. Then suddenly out of the corner of her eye was a shadow.
 
"-- Huh?"
 
Unlike the rest of Disdiya's soldiers at the bottom of a ravine he was running on top of the cliffs.
 
...... When on earth did he appear?
 
Nanase Haruka was unable to hide her inner agitation. She knew the identity of that person. He was the Crimson sword king of Sherfied and his target was obvious. He was running on top the cliffs headed for Akatsuki. She had seen his strength in action during the duel.
 
She knew that the present situation was very dangerous, but had to keep her emotions in check.
 
"Come down here and face me!"
 
Haruka immediately concentrated her mind unleashing a magic formation, an intense tornado was created out of the wind. The tornado ran along the mountain walls keeping parallel with the horizon meant to hit Zechs.
