Chapter 116 – Assault (4)

“What, why are you here?”

Rosé and Louie both voiced surprise, as if they were embarrassed that I was in this place.
Even so, Louis stably blocked the movements of the demon dogs with her shield and spear, and while Louis blocked them, Arna and Sienna broke the demon dogs’ heads one by one more easily.
As if I had prepared for this situation in advance, I was relieved to see Louis and Rosé, who quickly appeared. Feeling my tension loosen slightly, I unfastened a button on my sweaty shirt belatedly and sighed.

“Whoa… I got caught up in the bad luck.”
“It is dangerous here. You have to go right back the way you came…”
“The demons are coming from the other side too. That’s why I ran away here.”
“Complete sound… Really, sir, behind me!”

As soon as Rosé heard my words, he was startled, closed his eyes, and used magic to clash the two daggers in his hands, making a strange sound.
Unlike Arna and Sienna, Rosé, who felt the demonic dogs coming from behind me as if she had sensed something from the spreading sound waves, immediately put me behind me and prepared to protect me, holding a dagger in one hand and holding a dagger correctly in the other.
I was thrilled with the sincere and kind Rosé, who was completely different from Arna.

“Come!”
“Kong!”
“Kurrrr!”

Immediately, demon dogs jump out of the darkness and run at Rose.
Rosé held his dagger with both hands wide open up and down, and then he swung the dagger right from the bottom up and the dagger held in reverse from top to bottom towards the demon dogs that were charging at him, and used magic.

“Rang-ah!”
“Keying!”

Along with the starter words she shouted while stepping on the ground, the light in the shape of a transparent wolf’s head wrapped around Rosé’s body.
The huge wolf opened and closed its huge mouth following Rose’s dagger, biting the demon dogs that were rushing at it at once.

“Reply 鷹爪!”

After that, it catches the demon dog with sharp claw-shaped magic created by the magic used and tore it to pieces.
Rosé, rather than a magical girl, moved like a martial artist using magic and made movements that reminded her of the shape of an animal and swiftly killed the demon dogs.
However, countless demon dogs continued to appear in the darkness, as if the number would not decrease no matter how much Rose swung the dagger.

As if there was no end in sight, the demonic dogs turned into corpses, littering the ground and making the floor sticky with black blood.
Rosé, who stepped on the ground with a strong and dull sound while dealing with the demon dogs that continued to rush in, grabbed both daggers in reverse and lifted them above his head and swung them down.

“Dragon Strike Dragon Strike!”

The demon dogs in front of Rosé are cut into pieces by a huge slash created in the air.
I was a little surprised by the appearance of Rose, who was more like a martial artist using magic than a magical girl, but when I thought about who Rosé’s mother was, she was convinced of the bizarre magic.
Rosé, who continued to wield her dagger, glanced at the back where Louis had joined and handled the demon dogs much more leisurely than before, then hurriedly said, tearing off the demon dog’s head with a kick.

“Arna! Help me out here!”
“What?! No!”
“I might not be able to stop it all by myself! What if the teacher gets hurt!”
“What do I know!”

As soon as Arna heard Rose’s request, she glanced at me and refused.
It’s not that I can’t help, but I don’t like the idea of ​​fighting to protect me.

“Go Sienna! It seems to be pretty stable here! That would be more balanced!”

Sienna can attack from a distance, move her body quickly, block enemies with an ice wall or freeze them with ice to slow them down.
Rosé uses magic, but rather than attacking from a long distance, it feels like killing enemies at once with quick movements and powerful magic.
Arna moves faster than Sienna, adjusts her distance at will, and feels like she’s shooting ranged magic. Although she can’t block enemies, she can paralyze them and impede their movement.
The only magic that Louis could use was explosion magic, and the means of attack was short-range, and he could only block attacks with a shield, but perhaps because he had a lot of experience, he was quite skillful in pressing multiple enemies with his shield.

As Louis said, Siena and Rosé, and Arna and Louis, each in a pair of two, seemed much better balanced.
Immediately, Sienna quickly moved her body and turned her direction towards her dog, creating a wall of ice and an ice sheet that made it easier for Rosé to deal with her demon dog, impeding her dog’s movement.
Divided into a combination of distance and close range, defense and attack appropriately distributed, each of the four took charge of one direction and stably dealt with the demon dogs.

“Lightning Vortex Lightning Vortex!”

As the number of demon dogs rapidly decreased, Arna glanced behind her and fired powerful magic as if competing.
As if she said she would let this side end sooner, she rested and used the accumulated mana sparingly.
Arna’s magic charred the mountain of her demon dog’s corpses, filling her tunnel with her unpleasant smell.

“Arna! What are you doing! Save your mana!”

Seeing that, Louis said nervously, dealing with the dwindling number of demon dogs without using any of her magic.

“You use it like this and still have magic power?! What are you going to do with the next wave!”
“… Is it a wave? What do you mean?”

She thought the situation was coming to an end and she used her magic to finish it faster.
Then, Louis cut off her demon dog’s head with the tip of her shield, lamented, and gave Arna a short explanation.

“Ha… ! I really couldn’t believe it, but it’s really like this! It must be the area where I am! Can’t we go wave somewhere else? I saw it on the way with Rosé, but it’s not just demon dogs! Everything else is gathering too!”
“Yes?”
“Perhaps there are tentacles, too, Rosé! Didn’t you say you saw a Poison Bat on your way back?!”
“Are you talking about single-breasted clothes? I definitely saw it!”
“It means that small breeds are also coming… Are there monsters? Did you see Hugger?”
“Hugger… I do not know. Oh, I saw the slime while running on the ceiling!”

Poison Bat is an infection that was created when a bat was infected by the Negative monster, and it is an infection that injects a powerful hallucinogenic aphrodisiac and continues to suck blood from a person who is unable to do anything.
It is a small species of infectious agent that quietly kills people without even noticing that it is falling into hallucinations with its small size, stealthy movements and narcotic fangs that make you forget the pain when bitten.

Hugger, as its name suggests, is a small monster that hugs people. It is about the size of a cat and has a thin starfish-like body, legs, and webbed mucous membranes that crawl around and hug people and attack them.
Tentacles with small poisonous teeth that inject aphrodisiacs come out of its mouth in the center, and it is difficult to separate even if only one sticks to it.
Unusually, it lays eggs and classifies it as a monster, but it has a habit closer to an infection than a monster, so it is also a guy who is deduced that he is an animal in the world where negatives live.

“Magical Dogs came first because they move quickly, and they’ll probably come one after another after we deal with them all! So save your magic! You never know what’s coming!”
“What is this all of a sudden?”
“I don’t know the details! The sudden wave inside the subway is a situation I have only seen in the manual!”

Listening to Louis explain to Arna from the side, I nodded slightly and understood the current situation.
The manual Louis said was probably the same one I studied when I was preparing for the National Guard.
According to the manual, a concentrated attack caused by the gathering of monsters and infected objects to a specific chain of command is called a wave.

Waves are mainly caused by negatives that open a dimensional gate, but sometimes monsters or infected that remain unable to return to the dimensional gate gather together to create a wave as if they have a single purpose.
The cause or reason for its occurrence is unknown, but once it has occurred, the wave continues to push in like a wave, and it does not end until all the monsters and infected that are attracted to the wave itself are killed and eliminated.
It is also a dangerous situation to the extent that even a magical girl with decent skills eventually gets tired and is defeated and taken to the nest of the infected.

If the magical girls are defeated, the four will be taken to the nest and become pleasure dolls and breeding vessels for the monsters.
And the moment I do that, since I’m a male body useless to the infected, I’m sure I’ll be torn to death to become simple meat.
It’s a much more dangerous situation than it first felt.

Thinking that far, I felt my head suddenly clear a little with a chilling sense of danger.
In order not to die, the brain is activated more than usual and nerves are on edge.
In my head, the manual I studied until my brain melted during my training as a trainee and several articles I read at Majinsa reminded me of a solution to the current situation.
First of all, it was necessary to create an environment conducive to the magical girls fighting so that they could deal with the monsters that continued to flock to them, so as not to get in their way.

“Siena! Leave a little gap in the ceiling for Rose to pass, and hit as many ice walls as you can to buy time!”
“Yes?”
“Rosé, go to the front and force the car to start by running on the ceiling as you did when you came. Stay away from this area!”

Siena and Rosé were bewildered by my sudden instructions and did not follow them, only moving their sword-holding hands.
I was annoyed and angry at the two of them not following my instructions properly.

“If it’s a wave, it won’t keep pushing in! You can’t afford to do anything with the vehicle, so are you going to leave it there? Just send it through with a frontal charge!”
“Sir, but why is the vehicle suddenly… ?”
“If there is a problem with your car, you will go to protect the people in your subway too! What are you going to do by increasing the line of defense? If it is possible to reduce the target to be protected, of course we should minimize it!”

That makes me a little safer.
