ED: Upsilon
The boss is in the north, the Class (most of which are close to S-Class) adventurers are in the south. Bahn-san and Rifisan, and Himiksan are there respectively, so I think they’ll be fine. The problems are the east and west. Of the two, I think the west is the closest to the evil tribes. I moved to the west gate with Instantaneous Movement.
When I arrived, cheers came from the adventurers. During the meeting in the guild, I had said that I would fire a high-speed, large-scale magic at the 2 gates without S-Class or Class adventurers.
“Please don’t lose your cool, everyone. The evil tribes are still quite a ways away, so fire long distance magic from now on.” (Akane)
“””OOOOOOOHHH, please do it~~, Sashaaaaa!””” (Adventurers)
Since I came all this way, let’s use combination magic, too.
Though, I have to go easy so I don’t annihilate all the evil tribes by mistake.
Considering the span, strength, and health of the evil tribes…I guess about this should be fine.
“Here I go!『Lightning Storm』” (Akane)
Lightning Storm—a magic that combined the thunder, water, and storm attributes. A cumulonimbus cloud formed above the evil tribes, and a thunderstorm of lightning started. Horrific cries could be heard from the evil tribes. They couldn’t come this way due to the wind pressure, so there was no way they could escape from the thunderstorm. I actually had wanted to add Downburst and Tornado to it, but I stopped because the evil tribes were being smashed to atoms as is. From the adventurers:
“Amazing.”
“It looks like they can’t come this way even if they wanted to.”
“Somehow, I feel sorry for the evil tribes.”
“Um, did that evil tribe just ask for help?”
Eeehhh? Why are you critizing me? I’ll stop now. When the thunderstorm stopped, about a third were dead, probably due to the effects of『Meteor Rain』, and the remaining two-thirds appeared to be heavily injured.
“This new magic consumed a lot of my magic power, so I can’t use it anymore, considering the trump card. Please do your best now, everyone.” (Akane)
“””OOOOOOOOH, LEAVE IT TO USSSSSSS!””” (Adventurers)
Alright, this gate should be fine now. I went to the other gate and used the same magic, giving the evil tribes heavy wounds. Right when I thought “maybe I can take a break”, my Crisis Sensing skill reacted. Who? This is…Finn! Did she suddenly get into a pinch?
When I checked on her using Instantaneous Movement, Finn had somehow gotten herself to the frontlines, and was going every which way. She’ll die if I leave her be. She completely got herself lost. The moment Finn encountered an ogre knight, I cut the ogre knight in two with a single blow from behind. After I gave her some advice, my Crisis Sensing skill went off 3 times all at once. Ugh, why 3 at once? Aaahh whatever, let’s observe from the skies. I hurriedly moved to the skies with Wind Magic after applying『Concealment』, and cast support magic and recovery magic on the parties in danger. After all three parties got out of danger, the leaders all said the same thing:
“That was definitely Sasha.”
And everyone agreed just from them saying that.
No, I mean, sure, I did it, but it’s complicated.
Even after that, my Crisis Sensing skill went off with no end, so even I lost my cool. If it was going to be like this, I should’ve made a magic tool that functions automatically from brainwaves or something, like a Fun◯el¹. Or maybe I should make a magic or magic tool like that. When I finally thought I was calm, this time a wyvern (B-Class) came from the skies.
《Piki》²
Yep, now…I’m really mad. S~. o~.
“Out of my way.” 《Slap》
A shame, the wyvern died without realizing I’d cut its head off. Oh wait, I need to drop it where none of my allies are! That was close, I just about forgot.
Fuu~, thanks to me decapitating the wyvern in revenge, I was able to relieve my stress. The moment I tried to take a break, the greatest Crisis Sensing skill reacted. What is it this time?
When I checked, it was Bahn-san and Rifisan. That isn’t good! When I hurriedly moved, the evil dragon’s right arm was cut off, and the evil dragon fired a Breath and some quake-attribute spheres. I don’t have the leeway to think about this.
“『All Abilities Second』” (Akane)
Thank god, I somehow made it in time. Actually, why didn’t you use it, Rifisan! Ha~. Oh, yeah, Bahn-san’s the type to say things like “fair”, isn’t he?
“That was really close. 『Max Heal』. And don’t go saying things like ‘but that’s not fair’ now, okay?” (Akane)
“As if we’d say that! That bastard suddenly increased his power with a skill of some sort, but we should be fine if we have this trump card.” (Bahn)
The skill the evil dragon was using was『Madness』. While it doubled attack power, it had a property that halved defensive power.
“Subjugate the enemy quickly, as it'll be cancelled in 30 minutes. Should I go?” (Akane)
“Ha, that's plenty! Go to the other adventurers.” (Bahn)
“Got it, please do your best.” (Akane)
When I went to check on Will-san and his party, they appeared to have killed their target evil tribes just as planned. Alright, these people are safe. Now all that’s left is to wait for Bahn-san to kill the boss. If they killed the boss, I’d annihilate all the evil tribes in one go by using the trump card. Suddenly, I felt a huge evil power. When I looked towards the evil dragon, it was preparing to use Dragon’s Breath. The evil dragon was trying to end the war in one go. That isn’t good! When I quickly moved, Bahn-san prepared to attack. What is he going to do? But, since it’s Bahn-san, he’s only planning something because he knows he can win. Interfering would be borish then, wouldn’t it? I’ll just watch here. But, if it looks like he’ll lose, I’ll secretly give him some magic power. He’ll probably hate me for it, though.
Oh, how amazing! Bahn-san and Rifisan are doing combination magic? And, they’re releasing something similar to Dragon’s Breath. The evil dragon’s dark Dragon’s Breath and Bahn-san and Rifisan’s blueish-white Dragon’s Breath were clashing with one another right now, and it was making a terrible sound. This is kind of like some manga I’ve read before. Bahn-san and Rifisan are stronger in ability. Yes! They did it! The upper half of the evil dragon had disappeared, and it was dead. When I looked around in the sky, the other people appeared to have grown accustomed to the battle and were showing more strength than usual. The evil tribes probably knew the boss was dead as well. Order has clearly been broken. Let’s annihilate them all at once with the trump card now.
○○○ Iris’ Point of View
The battle has begun. As far as I can see from here, Onee-sama, Rifisan’s combination magic is amazing. I want to be able to cast combination magic as soon as possible. I cast support magic that raised agility and defense in the realm of what I could see. As for what I couldn’t see, the cathedral’s magic users should be backing them up.
“Do you think everyone will be all right, Eleanor-sama?” (Iris)
“Believe in them, Iris. Right now all we can do is believe in everyone. Moreover, Sasha will be protecting everyone from the shadows in this fight. Though she’s using Concealment, I sense her a little bit.” (Eleanor)
“Eh? She is? I didn’t know.” (Iris)
“Sasha is protecting everyone by using the『Crisis Sensing』and『points』skills from the skies above this cathedral. Fufu, she’s more of a goddess than an evil god, isn’t she?” (Eleanor)
Onee-sama, you’re amazing. I want to be like Onee-sama. These feelings grew stronger each day.
“Huh? Eleanor-sama, I feel an evil power stronger than before from the evil dragon’s direction. What should we do?” (Iris)
“This is…no way, a Dragon’s Breath!? We can’t let it fire that! Even if the magic tool is normal, the magic may not hold if it takes a direct hit like that now!” (Eleanor)
“Eeehh!? Onee-sama, please help them somehow.” (Iris)
When the evil dragon fired its Dragon’s Breath, someone fired a bluish-white Dragon’s Breath. This isn’t Onee-sama! This feeling…it’s Bahn-san and Rifisan. The breaths collided with one another, and a big noise resounded here.
“Bahn-san and Rifisan are amazing. Please win!” (Iris)
“No way, they can oppose that breath? Goddess Sphere, please protect us.” (Eleanor)
After it struggled for a bit, Bahn-san and Rifisan’s breath finally came out on top, and the evil dragon was subjugated.
“We did it, Eleanor-sama! Bahn-san and Rifisan did it!” (Iris)
“Yes, the evil dragon has been subjugated.” (Eleanor)
At that time, Onee-sama appeared.
“Iris, Bahn-san and Will-san’s party have won against their targets. We’ll use the trump card to subjugate all the evil tribes.” (Akane)
Starting now, we’ll use our trump card.
“Okay. I’ll be going, Eleanor-sama.” (Iris)
“Sasha, please take care of Iris.” (Eleanor)
“Sure, leave it to me.” (Akane)
After connecting my hand to Onee-sama’s, we first moved to the west gate.
“I’ve made it so that your voice can reach all of Sphereart with Space Magic. If you would, Iris.” (Akane)
I nodded. The time to use our trump card had finally come.
“《Please listen up, everyone. Will-san’s party has succeded in subjugating the Class evil tribes, and Bahn-san’s party has succeeded in subjugating the S-Class evil dragon. Let’s press them all at once now. I will use the trump card on all of the people fighting in the frontlines at all of the gates after this. After 20 minutes have passed, the 2nd groups will change places with the people at the frontlines, and after another 20 minutes have passed the 3rd group will change places with the 2nd. This is a do-or-die situation. Let’s annihilate the evil tribes!》” (Iris)
The second I spoke……
“UUOOOOOHHHH!!!!” (Adventurers)
“Fufu, they really are adventurers. They still have some extra strength.” (Akane)
When Onee-sama said so, a nearby male adventurer about in his 30s came to talk.
“Oi, Sasha, what’re you saying? This is all thanks to you. The new technological developments of the potions and armor, and the meteors and new magic immediately following the start of the war; all of it had to do with you. Everyone knows. If it weren’t for you guys, everyone would’ve run out of magic power and died.” (Adventurer)
Ah, people knew after all. I had kept it a secret because Onee-sama didn’t want to stand out, but everyone knew.
“Eh? Everyone knows!? Ahaha, I’m happy you said that, though. Well, I’ll use the trump card with Iris now.” (Akane)
“Got it. Please do it on the frontlines, as planned.” (Adventurer)
“Got it! Let’s do this, Iris.” (Akane)
“Okay!” (Iris)
After that, we cast『All Abilities Double』, the trump card, on the frontlines at every gate. My magic power almost ran out during it, so I got some magic power from Onee-sama, and then watched over the situation from the skies after we used it on all the frontlines.
“Um…Onee-sama, won’t it be bad if they see the griffon?” (Iris)
“It’s fine, I’ve made it so it can’t be seen with Space Magic.” (Akane)
You really can do anything, huh? Everything looked better when seeing it from above like this. The people at the frontlines were making the evil tribes drop like flies.
“Onee-sama, the people at the frontlines sure are pushing hard. They have good physical ability.” (Iris)
“Hmm, everyone’s in high spirits, after all. At this pace, their physical strength won’t last 30 minutes.” (Akane)
“Eh? Um…isn’t that bad?” (Iris)
“It’s fine, this is all according to my calculations. Yes, Iris, be it in war or in your everyday life, you must always prepare for the worst. Like this time, I found out the side effects of『All Abilities Double』by using it before hand. Unlike Magic Power Cladding, it’s easy for someone not used to it to fall into high spirits because their abilities were suddenly raised. That’s why I made a shift system where they’d change places in 20 minutes. The time’s shorter, but this magic can be used another time because the burden on the body has lessened.” (Akane)
“Always prepare for the worst----Okay, I understand.” (Iris)
I hadn’t thought about the side effects of the new magic. When I used the magic for the first time, Finn had definitely acted differently than usual. Now that I think about it, the other adventurers and the knights acted like Finn then. Onee-sama assumed it’d be like that here as well, and adopted a shift system.
“Now, about 20 minutes have passed in the frontlines at the west gate. Let’s go, Iris.” (Akane)
“Yes!” (Iris)
Onee-sama really is amazing. Did she assume that everything would turn out like this after we came here? I’ll steal her way of thinking and magic techniques, and become just like Onee-sama one day.
○○○ Sasha’s Point of View
By using the trump card, the number of evil tribes rapidly decreased. As expected of B-Class adventurers; even though the evil tribes clad themselves in evil power, our numbers were superior now, so they were subjugated without exception. The corpses of evil tribes were scattered everywhere now. Obviously, the evil tribes also lost their fighting spirit after seeing their comrades’ corpses, and some ran towards the forest and left. The clean-up process appears to have gone quite well.
After the trump card was used, my Crisis Sensing skill stopped reacting. I watched Finn too, but she started cooperating with the knights, and sometimes, she used recovery magic. She could afford it a little, so I had Iris fight against D-Class evil tribes as well. She had to get a little combat experience. ------And thus, the war here in Sphereart ended. I was tired, probably from running about quite a bit. Right now, the surroundings were very excited due to the evil tribes being annihilated.
“Well Iris, our work here is done. Let’s go report to Eleanor-sama and declare that the war has ended.” (Akane)
“I never thought it would all be over in about 6 hours.” (Iris)
“The boss this time was a muscle-head, so the decisive battle didn’t last long.” (Akane)
“Muscle-head?” (Iris)
“Yeah. In a nutshell, the type that only decides things with power. There were probably other S-Class evil tribes at first. So, in the beginning, the brainwashed humans, and tried to take you out by transferring you to the large forest. The plan after that was probably to destroy the large magic tool by using the brainwashed humans to minimize the number of sacrificed evil tribes, and in the midst of the chaos they’d appear around Sphereart in all directions with Transfer and destroy Sphereart.” (Akane)
“But you prevented their plan, huh?” (Iris)
“Yeah, I found the brainwashed people, severed the lines of evil power, and fired『Holy Bolt』down the lines, so the evil tribes scheming with him were annihilated. In the end, the only S-Class remaining was the evil dragon, and he tried attacking us with brute force after he became desperate. Well, since I knew the evil tribes were doing to attack beforehand, we were able to prepare a lot of things, too. For example, if the evil tribes scheming with him survived, it wouldn’t have been as big a victory.” (Akane)
“You’re amazing, Onee-sama. Around what point did you guess that?” (Iris)
“After we met Priest Moore, I guess. By then, I had information on you and the large magic tool, so I could easily guess how they’d try and make Sphereart fall by thinking like an evil tribe.” (Akane)
“By thinking…like an evil tribe? I see, I get it now.” (Iris)
Iris was actively listening, huh? It appears this time’s events have become something worth studying.
“Now, let’s go to where Eleanor-sama is, shall we?” (Akane)
“Yes!” (Iris)
After that, when I reported the annihilation of the evil tribes to Eleanor-sama, we immediately moved to the balcony, and I used Space Magic so that the declaration that the war had ended could be heard by all of Sphereart and the adventurers and knights surrounding it. The war against the evil tribes resulted in a huge victory for the humans in Sphereart, and a festival was held for several days.
And, I had big changes as well. During the festival I checked my status after I felt something was off, and came to realize that my basic attribute values had shot way up. Naturally, my expression stiffened then. And on top of that, my title had become “Saint”. When I reported this to Eleanor-sama just in case, she told me that I should let all the citizens know, so I declined with all my power. Even if I had stood out as an S-Class adventurer, if people knew I was the Saint on top of that, there was a chance the goddess Saria would take notice of me.
Though I should have held back and not acted in a flashy manner, in the end, I had stood out more than I had in the Royal Capital.
When I told Finn and Iris that I wanted to take more reserved actions so that I wouldn’t get any more attention than this, they both said the same thing:
“”There’s absolutely no way.”” (Finn+Iris)
