126 – Chapter 41. Lower the gate shutter – 1

Din-Din-Ding-
I opened my eyes at the sound of a loud bell.
Rolling down from the cot and stumbling out of the hallway with hazy hair, the crew and soldiers were running around.
“Ah, Miss Fire! You are here.”
“What’s going on? Suddenly all the bells ring.”
“It is said that the main force has almost arrived to the south of the cut-off area. Now, this is an alarm that signals the start of a large-scale operation to clean up the outside of the cut off area. Alas, the captain has found Misfire.”
“Are you in the command room? I will go right away.”
I walked down the corridor following the procession of the spirits, fell into the bridge and went to the battle command room where Arumanan was staying.
Dozens of spirits were communicating somewhere or analyzing something while looking at the screen.
Each of them was doing their own thing, but they chattered more than the mayor.
“Come on, Miffy.”
Aruma Nan, who was reading the screen quickly in his commanding seat as usual, was tired, so he pressed his finger to his eyes and greeted me.
“Is this the beginning?”
“Yes. The main unit joined earlier than expected, so we need to clean up the outside immediately.”
“Can I go with the helicopter unit?”
Aruma Nan nodded his head and pointed to one of the floating screens.
“As you can see, there are quite a few enemy aircraft out there. It’s not new, it’s old, but there aren’t a lot of fighters.”
In an instant, the ship shook violently.
The reason the mount swayed is because of the pain, so I used to balance it and catch the spirits passing by to help me fall.
“Go, thank you.”
“What.”
Warnings popped up on the screen in front of Arumanan’s command seat.
“Did you get hit?”
“I think so. The port is under intensive attack.”
On the screen showing the external situation of the ship, the scene where the enemy’s concentrated attack was pouring was reflected on the left side of the battleship.
When the guns blew fire, it was quiet for a while, but then an attack flew from somewhere and hit the port.
The demons such as fighters, artillery, anti-aircraft guns, and magic were attacking Arumanan with all their might.
I could see Arumanan’s shield getting thinner and thinner.
The crew were working hard to counterattack, but the weapons on the starboard could not be used, so the firepower was cut in half.
And there was another problem.
“Isn’t there an aircraft entrance on port side?”
Aruma Nan nodded his head with a serious expression.
When I looked at the screen inside the aircraft hangar, I couldn’t even dare to leave because of the attack from the outside.
“They might be after that.”
Aruma Nan was an air battleship and carrier, and her air power was also one of the main powers of the ship.
She could sortie anywhere in her carrier form with many runways and open spaces, but while she was under attack, she could not even transform into a carrier.
“Are you a little impatient? The resistance of the enemies is stronger than expected.”
Even as she said that, Aruma Nan was full of leeway.
Turn the player and slightly change the altitude and direction to make an evasive maneuver while distributing the attack focused on the port.
Anti-aircraft guns formed a fire network full of the sky and exchanged attacks with enemy aircraft.
Unsurprisingly, the aircraft flew into pieces or powder, and Arumanan did not take much damage.
The problem was the magic that the magic circles that were born in the distance shot out.
Every time an annoying and powerful attack hit the body of the battleship Arumanan, the spirit Arumanan’s expression frowned.
“Miffy. Please.”
I knew what I was asking for.
Because the only thing that bothers her now is her magic.
“I will go. Do you know where the drinker is?”
“I’m looking for it now. Because of this situation, you are the only one who can mobilize. Sorry.”
“No. It’s always been like that, isn’t it?”
During the Shinma War, there was a time when I alone defended the Aruma War against the enemies that came from all sides of her.
She is weaker than then, and her experience is worn out, but I don’t think the role will be lighter.
When I broke up with Aruma Nan and climbed onto her deck, colorful magic embroidered the dark sky, the realm of demons, as if she had set off firecrackers.
Magic circles that suddenly appear in empty air, fire magic and disappear.
I focused on the magic circle while wearing a unified helmet, and information popped up on the visor.
“Misfire-sama. As a result of the analysis of the information, the caster is-“
“It’s down there in the woods.”
「Yes? Oh yes. You’re right. The exact location is still being tracked.”
“Okay. I know.”
「Yes?」
I ran to the right of the battleship, avoiding the port where the attack was concentrated.
The spirits who were busily roaming the deck looked at me in amazement, but now they are in a hurry.
Swish
Like one day, I climbed over the railing of Arumanan.
I heard a scream-like sound from behind, but I didn’t care.
It happened often.
Silver light enveloped his vision, and hard and flexible armor appeared on his limbs and torso.
The propeller of the wing floating behind the shoulder began to spin violently.
While it stayed in the air for a while, blowing compressed air from the Greaves, an enemy aircraft approached.
Doo Doo Doo-
The magic bullet was fired at a fast and menacing speed.
You start attacking all of a sudden. I’m not polite.
After evading the attack by accelerating momentarily, both arms contained the elements of the earth.
“[[Sidewinder]]”
When two spears of dark brown magical power were quickly thrown, the fighter turned so that the ship could be seen and maneuvered to evade.
But he could not avoid the sidewinder’s guided attack.

Purong
The fighter whose engine part was pierced and the aircraft caught fire began to fall as it was.
In the meantime, more fighters were approaching.
“Do you think it’s okay to push with volume?”
If the only armament is the sidewinder, it might work because of the reload time, but there’s no reason for me to let it go.
“[[Attribute change]]”
The gauntlet took on the properties of the earth.
I asked Tyran to receive weapons of all attributes, but it was the earth attribute that allowed me to deal with sergeants without Hellfire or Sidewinder.
When I pictured the weapon in my head, a long and heavy hammer was held in my hand.
It was heavy, but not so much that I couldn’t lift it.
In the beginning, if you put on the gauntlet, your strength will increase significantly.
Flying head-on against the approaching fighter, the hammer was raised.
The fighter was approaching with strong magic.
Looking at it, it looks like it’s going to change direction right away.
But if there was no countermeasure, I wouldn’t have dared to raise a weapon.
The gauntlet on the left arm was unusually large and wide.
The arm part was in the shape of an oval shield, and sharp nails were attached to the fingertips.
I stretched my body as far as possible to reduce the range of damage and raised my left arm to cover the front.
Jeing-
Several fighters fired white beams and started making a sharp turn.
Tooong
Except for slight shaking, the shield blocked all attacks perfectly.
As it was, he stretched out his left arm and aimed his finger at the fighter.
A wire with a wire was ejected with the sound of a sharp wind.
The wire on the nails dug into the depths of the fighter was wound on its own, and the body became firm and rapidly approached the fighter.
“Wow!”
The speed was so fast that it was difficult to control the body.
I almost missed the hammer due to the speed at which the wire was wound to the already fast fighter, but I managed to balance it with the greaves and wings.
Three, two, one.
Taking the timing, he raised the hammer high and slammed it down.

Purong
As if hit by a cannon rather than a hammer, the fighter split in half lost momentum and began to fall.
Kicking the falling fighter, rebalancing it, and raising his left arm.
Who is the next target?
But the fighters that were already flying around had disappeared.
After giving a finger cursing towards the demon fighter who was running away, he sighed and went down to the forest.
The beginning of the mountain range that stretches beyond the cradle of water.
The forest was not very wide, but it was difficult to reconnaissance from the air because of the huge trees.
It’s difficult to bombard this place with the intention of sweeping it all away, and the natural creatures of the spirit world have resistance to spirit weapons.
A tree this large is a natural cover and shield because it contains a lot of elemental power.
So the demons used to camp in places like mountains or forests.
As I approached the forest, the information on the visor started disappearing one by one.
From nob le mt l dot com
Powerful jamming magic was spread throughout the forest.
“HQ, this is Misfire.”
“Chijik… 」
I opened a communication channel to ask if the caster’s location was identified, but all I could hear was noise.
It takes too long to go back and listen.
The jamming is so strong, there’s no guarantee that it’s been pinpointed.
“Huh.”
I can’t.
I decided to find the last tracked location first.
Fortunately, although the upper part of the forest was thick, there were only large trees, so there was no problem in flying downwards.
The distance between the trees was at least 5m, so I was able to quickly look around and move around.
“Is that that?”
In the distance, a group of demons dressed in gloomy robes could be seen.
I quietly approached the sound while hiding in the recording.
With a rifle in his left hand and a long sword in his right, I approached them and saw that the number of them was five.
Two demons wearing robes and curved backs, and three demons with strong stature.
These three will be your escort.
Every time the wizards lowered their wands, the magic circle on the floor shone.
It was clear that it was related to the magic circles appearing in the sky.
Quietly pointed the rifle’s barrel at one of the wizards.
When the element of fire was condensed and a little heat was felt, he pulled the trigger and rushed at them.
“Wow!”
Starting with the wizard who had his side pierced with an ugly scream, the two guards were instantly incapacitated by swords and bullets.
I was suppressing it smoothly in the direction of saving my life as much as possible, but the remaining wizards and escorts didn’t seem formidable.
A demon with muscular combat knives and pistols approached with aiming shots.
I changed my left hand to the earth attribute again, took out a shield to block bullets, and set fire to hell with the sword in my right hand.
The escort demons shot my legs and arms while avoiding the shield, but the shield also has the ability to cover the entire body with a magical shield, so weak pistol bullets won’t be able to penetrate it.
He rushed towards the demons with his shield at the fore.
“Hot!”
The sword was fired with a short cheer, but the demons leapt backwards and escaped.
In the meantime, the wizard who completed some magic pointed his staff at me.
Instinctively, I rolled my body to the side, and the magic that attacked Arumanan swept through where I was standing.
Woojik
The big tree behind me was half smashed.
If I had hit that right, the shield would have been blown away.
Taang
I was about to stand up again, but the demons, who had finished loading, fired their guns to keep them in check.
And the wizard was casting a spell again.
If it goes like this, there will be no end.
I put in my sword and lit Hellfire.
I threw the completed Hellfire, but it disappeared in the air after a while.
It seems that not only jamming, but also magic measures have been put in place.
“Oh my.”
He rolled his head again, avoiding the flying magic.
In the current situation, the only thing that can immediately subdue the enemies is the powerful power that you acquired recently.
“[[Wind.]]”
The dog tag hanging from his neck took on a soft green light and blew out a fierce wind.
The wind became a clear tornado and shot towards the demons.
The demons who were shooting pistols and the demons preparing for magic were swept away by the wind and fell to the ground, flew away and crashed into a tree.
“Wow.”
It was so powerful that I put out my tongue without realizing it.
If this is enough, another attack would not be necessary.
[[Not that, Master.]]
The newcomer who read my thoughts answered.
“Why? Your attack is the strongest.”
[[There are a lot of restrictions. The power of direct attacks varies greatly depending on the distribution of the element of wind, and the number of times it can be used is not enough.]]
“Well.”
After that, I felt like I was losing all my strength.
Magic consumption is no joke.
And the element of wind is abundant in this area, but there is a sense of insecurity to use it in case of an emergency because its power is halved elsewhere.
It will take a little longer to get used to your new strength.
After arresting all the fainted demons, the communication channel was opened again.
“Misfire-sama. Are you okay?”
“Yes. You have finished subduing the wizards.”
「Confirmation of the disappearance of the magic circle. Thank you. Oh. Could you please head south of the cut-off area right now?”
“Have you arrived?”
“Yes. Finally, the battle to restore the cut-off area.”
It seems that the most important battle of this operation will begin sooner than expected.
