The beast tamer exiled from the hero’s party and the cat eared girl from the strongest race meet
Five copies of Gigabrand.
On top of that, a horde of more than ten demons.
It was an overwhelming force.
With this many enemies, taking down one or two cities would be easy.
Under normal circumstances, there would be no way to resist…
However, there were beings here who were anything but normal.
“Hmph, there are so many insignificant creatures here… Just like flies and mosquitoes—utterly irritating.”
“Al, you mustn’t let your guard down.”
“I know that well. Once they’re judged as enemies, total annihilation is the only option.”
Wearing a fearless grin was Al.
She had already unfurled wings of light from her back and taken up a combat stance.
Meanwhile, Nokia was wrapped in a faint glow from head to toe.
She, too, was perfectly ready for battle.
“O-oh… Mother is really fired up.”
“It looks like Nokia-san is quite serious too…”
Sora and Luna had decided to act together with the two of them.
Pressed down by the intense fighting spirit radiating from Al and Nokia, both of them were sweating profusely.
Al and Nokia were of a respectable age.
Thinking that combat might be too taxing for them, Sora and Luna had chosen to stay close—but it might have been unnecessary concern.
That was how overwhelming the battle aura pouring from Al and Nokia was.
“So these are replicas of the dead… tch, what a tasteless thing to do.”
“I’m sorry. I just remembered… that technology was stolen from my lost memories.”
“No need for you to worry, Nokia. Replicating the dead can’t succeed without the techniques of us spirit folk anyway. Most likely Mona was behind this little prank.”
“Then we share the responsibility.”
“Indeed. I’d like to destroy all of the enemy’s research data, but… that can wait. First, we crush the results of their research.”
“And then deal with those who are abusing it.”
Normally, Al was rather laid-back.
And Nokia was gentle and calm.
Yet now, both of them narrowed their eyes sharply, their expressions terrifying.
“O-oh… t-that’s scary…”
Luna had often seen Al angry, but she had rarely seen her truly enraged.
The pressure and dominance she exuded surpassed even Sora’s.
Her legs trembled, and she felt like she might lose control of herself.
“S-so this is Nokia-san when she’s serious…”
Sora, too, was shaken by Nokia’s anger.
They said that gentle people were the scariest when enraged—and Nokia was the perfect example.
The kind smile she wore when doting on Nina was nowhere to be seen.
Now, Nokia was radiating an aura as fearsome as a demon’s.
“Let’s begin, Al.”
“Mm.”
With the Gigabrand copies at the front, the demons launched their attack.
Using their massive bodies as shields, they blocked attacks, closed the distance, and planned to wipe them out in one go.
But before these two, such a plan was nothing more than childish.
“Please don’t come any closer.”
Nokia rotated her hand, creating a gate that connected to a subspace.
Using it, she sent the Gigabrand copies and the demons flying far away—all at once.
“And now… please disappear.”
She rotated her other hand.
At the same moment, two Gigabrand copies vanished.
The sudden disappearance of their allies caused the demons to falter in confusion.
Sora and Luna, too, stared wide-eyed, wondering what had just happened.
Nokia sharply pointed at the sky.
The demons followed her finger and looked up—
There were the Gigabrand copies that were supposed to have vanished.
They had been teleported far into the sky.
The copies came crashing down.
Dropped from an extreme altitude, they were falling at tremendous speed—like meteors.
With a deafening boom, they struck the ground, shattering into countless fragments.
The demons at the impact site were caught in the blast as well, half of them blown apart.
No matter how tough their bodies were, being dropped from such heights—from near the stars—left them helpless.
“O-oh… what a brutal attack…”
“For those who can’t fly, isn’t that basically a guaranteed kill…?”
The method was so merciless that even their allies, Sora and Luna, were taken aback.
But this was only the beginning.
“Now then, it’s my turn.”
Al stepped forward.
A daring grin spread across her lips.
If one had to compare it to something—
It was the smile of someone about to clean up some trash.
“Ixion Blast.”
Casually.
Truly casually, without any preparation or buildup, Al released a supreme-tier spell.
A phantom beast from another realm was summoned, scattering colossal bolts of lightning.
Purple lightning tore through the battlefield, engulfing the remaining Gigabrand copies.
But still—
Even as copies, they were one of the Four Heavenly Kings.
Falling to a single supreme spell would—
“Ifrit Disaster.”
A second supreme spell.
Crimson hellfire danced through the air.
The flames raged like living beings, lunging at the demons one after another.
They slammed into the Gigabrand copies as well, unleashing fire fierce enough to melt the earth.
“Garuda Blast.”
“T-three in a row!?”
Even Sora and Luna were stunned—three consecutive supreme-tier spells.
Wind joined the chaos of lightning and flame.
A storm of dancing thunder and fire was born.
Its sheer power was nothing short of breathtaking.
The Gigabrand copies held on for a few seconds—but that was their limit.
There was no escape from the triple ultimate magic, and their bodies began to collapse.
The same was true for the demons, who fell one after another, crumbling into dust.
The storm lasted for about a minute…
And when it finally subsided, the Gigabrand copies were completely annihilated.
The number of demons had been reduced by half.
“Hm? There are still some left? I didn’t think I was holding back… hm, growing old really isn’t pleasant.”
“Let’s clean this up quickly. We still need to go help Nina and Rain-san.”
“……”
Faced with the casually spoken words of these two great mothers, Sora and Luna were left utterly speechless.
