Hannah Romer, commander of the Third Legion, the Demon Lord's Army.
A demon tribe that manipulated the knights on their side and made them fight each other.
Riding a flying dragon far above her head, she looked down at us and didn't come down, and from the sidelines, she seemed to be a woman of the demon tribe who was no different from Ferm.
However, her strategy, while outrageous, is in some ways correct.
Tactics that allow you to avoid endangering your allies and minimize damage.
From the point of view of us, the enemy, it was not a nuisance, but even so, I thought it was amazing that they would use such ruthless tactics without hesitation.
But, but.
"We don't want to consume a limited number of soldiers, so we're just sourcing them on the battlefield."
The moment she said those words, I was determined to incapacitate Hannah at all costs.
"Consume soldiers"
"Raised on the battlefield"
A woman named Hannah sees not only us, our enemies, but even our soldiers as expendable.
「……」
At least, that's what I have learned from her words and actions so far, so I try to suppress the anger that is overflowing inside me and calmly grasp the situation.
「…… It's expensive."
The flying dragon driven by Hannah and her men was flying at a height that could not be reached by the "Healing Jump", a leap that uses an outburst of magical power.
If you look closely, you can see that Hannah is not controlling the flying dragon herself, but letting her subordinates hold the reins of the flying dragon.
In addition, there are four armor-clad soldiers who appear to be elite, each of whom controls a flying dragon to protect Hannah.
You've got to use your brain to get there.
"Ferm, please cover my right arm with your magic."
"Okay, but Usato, how are you going to knock him down?"
"Jump, hit, knock down"
Next, he turns his attention to the Glow Wolves and the Demon Tribes who are waiting for an opportunity to attack him.
I ...... that the glow wolf is going to attack me if I distract myself like this. Soldiers should be rushing in as well.
However, even as I continue to fight off the enemy on the ground, Hannah, who is in the sky, continues to call for reinforcements to capture me. The quickest way is to drop her in the sky.
"This doesn't seem to be the answer!? Nea, stop!'
"It's sweet, it's too late for this guy to do weird things. It's just that the perverts that rampage on the ground turn into the perverts that rampaging in the sky."
What is metamorphosis?
Resisting the urge to argue with Nea who said so with blank eyes, she calls out to Mr./Ms. Fulana.
"Mr./Ms. Furana, can I lend you an arrow?"
"Oh, yes, yes."
…… Okay, I think this will work.
Trace the black band with your left finger from the arrowhead to the feather and adsorb the black band.
The obi is connected to her left wrist, and she continues to extend the belt to the ground to give her more room, and returns it to Mr./Ms..
"Can you hit the flying dragon above?"
"It's not impossible...... Is this okay? No matter how you look at it, the opponent is not within reach of jumping ......."
"I'll do something about it, can I leave the enemies below me while I deal with the guys above?"
Mr./Ms. wanted to say something to my words, but when she stretched her cheeks to see what she thought, she turned to me with a blown expression.
"Okay, I'm worried, but I believe in you just as much as Kazuki. Good luck."
"Oh......!"
"Everyone, ready to intercept!"
As the knights behind Mr./Ms. respond, Mr./Ms. holds an arrow with a belt attached.
The Glow Wolf begins to move along with it, but I trust the knights who fight back, and I don't move in place, changing my legs that are enveloped in black magic.
——— creates a stake with a stake from the sole of the foot and thrusts it vigorously into the ground.
"Whew......"
"Hey, wait, what are you doing? Why did you sew your feet on the ground?'
"I have a really bad feeling ......."
"Then I'll shoot an arrow!"
Mr./Ms. Fulana shoots an arrow at the flying dragon that Hannah is riding.
Along with the sound of cutting the wind, the black band hanging at my feet also rises to the sky.
"Prevent"
"Huh."
The arrow flew in a straight trajectory to the flying dragon, but it was repelled by the tail wielded by the flying dragon that Hannah was riding.
Glancing at the arrow falling to the ground, she gave me a mocking smile.
"Huh, that's about it, my flying dragon won't fall--"
"If I can't reach you, I'll just pull you in!"
"What?"
After confirming that the belt was wrapped around the tail of the arrow, I grabbed the belt extending from my left wrist and pulled it as hard as I could.
Not only Hannah, but everyone on the ground is stunned by my actions.
"Usato!? I said I believed it, but what are you doing!?"
"You can see it!"
"I'm asking because I don't know what to see!?"
Thanks to the stakes that I pierced through the soles of my feet, my body is firmly anchored to the ground.
If you pull it close enough to jump like this, it's yours, ......!
"If you can't reach it, you can pull it down to reach ......! This is ...... brain play!"
"I don't think I'm using my brain, ......?"
"Isn't it a mistake in brain play......?"
No matter what is said, the flying dragon that Hannah rides is steadily being dragged down to the ground.
Hannah, in turn, is busily pointing fingers at the subordinates around her, as she loses her previous slack of room.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
"Huh!? Yes!'
"It's too late!"
The subordinate who returned to himself drew his sword and tried to cut the belt, but it was too late.
I gather magic in both feet and at the same time release the stakes on the soles of my feet, and leap as hard as I can with the outburst of magic.
"Nhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
With the recoil of pulling the belt as hard as he could, he flies further up and reaches the height where Hannah is, making eye contact with her.
"Knock it down!"
"Huh!?"
Hannah, whose face was pale with fear, was about to slam her healing fist into the soldier controlling the flying dragon, when the flying dragon with the escort soldier rammed at me from the side.
"I'm not going to let Hannah mess with me!"
"Brilliant ......! But oh well! You're not the only one who can move freely in the air!"
For a moment, he unleashes a burst of magic from the instep of his leg and turns his body into a flying dragon that rams him.
I swung my right arm wide and aimed it squarely at Hiryu's eyebrows, releasing a healing acceleration fist.
"Guge!?"
"First of all, what the hell!"
When his fist hits the top of his nose, Hiryu presses his face with his wings.
Aiming for that moment, I jumped on the back of the flying dragon and put the bottom of my palm in the lower jaw of the soldier who was about to pull out the sword, stunning him.
This flying dragon will soon fall to the ground, but the demon tribe should be able to fall from this height.
I'm still going to get hurt, but I don't have the luxury of caring for them.
「……」
"The demon tribe will not die even if it falls from this height! Don't be weird!'
"Oh, yes, I know!"
He replies to Ferm and turns his attention to Hannah.
She deploys magic bullets in the air as she let her guards protect her.
I don't think it's easy to break through in the air, let alone on ...... ground.
"Oh, stop moving! If you stop, I'll take control of you!"
"'Ha!'"
"First of all, we have to do something about the guards!"
Luckily, thanks to dragging Hannah down here, the other flying dragons are able to reach the same height!
It extends a black band from the current flying dragon to another individual flying nearby, and approaches it as if it is being drawn to it.
"I didn't expect it to come from me! I'm going to make it a fireball!"
"Gaooo
Flames are emitted from the mouth of the flying dragon and from the palm of the soldier at the same time.
If you continue like this, you'll be thrust into the flames with the momentum of being drawn to the belt, but if you dodge it by unleashing your magical power, you'll be fine.
As I was about to take immediate action, the hood of my uniform suddenly moved on its own and hit my head.
As a result, the white part of his uniform that is visible is dyed black as if it were eroding.
"Ugh!? Ferm!?"
"What!?"
If you look at it, you can see that Nea is also wrapped in a belt like a worm......
"I'll take care of the defense, so just stick it in!"
"Wow, I'm resistant to fire!"
———! I don't have time to think!
Now that the entire body is protected by black magic and is immune to fire, you can attack without having to dodge!
He switches his consciousness to attack, and the magic power of his right arm, which he tried to use for dodging, grows twice as large.
"Oooh......!"
Thanks to Ferm and Nea, it doesn't feel hot or stuffy.
When I broke through the flames and reached Hiryu, I slammed my right fist, which had grown as if scooping it up from below, into Hiryu's chest.
"Olaa!"
"Gee-......!?"
The impact of the fist caused the flying dragon to stagger backwards and lose its balance, and the soldier who released the spell fell to the ground with a scream.
Instead, it lands on the back of a flying dragon that continues to flutter its wings in agony.
"Oh, this is the second one...... Oh, don't be violent......!"
"Leave it to me."
As I was thinking about how to clench my fists and make him quieter, Nea left my shoulder.
As soon as she made eye contact in front of the rampaging flying dragon's face, the movements became quiet.
"...... you've grown up, what did you do?"
"I just made you quiet with charms, I can't let you hear what I say."
Well, the charm is powerful, but it's not willpowering.
Still, it's helpful to take a breather.
He removes his hood and turns his attention to Hannah, making sure that he has returned to his white uniform mixed with black instead of black.
"Oops."
He flicks the magic bullets approaching you with a gauntlet.
I knew that the magic bullets were coming from Hannah's direction for a while, but I stopped flying around and finally started to hit them.
"You simply can't keep up with my movements?"
If that's the case, Hannah's own combat skills may not be very high.
Nero, Koga, and Amira were all legionnaire, but Hannah seems to be different.
"And all that's left is ......."
Only Hannah and her two bodyguards.
Perhaps they decided that one-on-one was not enough, and the other two guards seemed to work together to attack us.
Both appear to be riding similar flying dragons, but they have different weapons.
One is a sword and the other is a spear bearer.
"We're going to finish them off!"
"Yes!"
「…… Tsu! It's awkward!"
He sees flames and magic flying from the two flying dragons, and jumps up from the flying dragons.
"Nea, keep the spell of restraint!"
"Yes!"
I dodge one of them as I fall in mid-air with my healing fist and grab the saddle attached to its back.
"Let me do it!"
"Uh-huh!?"
It is interrupted by the sword wielded by another soldier driving a flying dragon who is approaching, and it is shaken off.
At the last minute, he was able to avoid falling by attaching the belt extended from his wrist to the flying dragon, but it was not good against the flying dragon who could move freely in the air.
What's more, it's awkward that they are positioning themselves in a way that allows them to help each other, seeing my fight earlier.
"What are you going to do, Usato? No matter how much you do, it's not worth it.'
"First of all, lure them in!"
Hanging in the air, I avoided the pursuit with a sword from the other side, and as I passed, I wrapped a belt around the neck of the flying dragon and clung to it.
"Hey, I'm obsessed with this! Help me!"
The soldier whose eyes meet and asks his comrades for help while letting out a voice of surprise.
Hearing the voice, the other soldier raises his spear and charges at him to help his comrades.
Of course, I didn't have an easy plan to make them fight each other in a lunge.
"Fall! Healing Wizard!"
"It's all about distance, ......!"
While checking for the flying dragon approaching towards him, he traps his magic power in his right arm, which is not holding a belt.
"Now!"
A soldier thrusts a spear out from the back of the approaching flying dragon and at the same time jumps backwards so that it is away from the flying dragon that is currently attached.
The spear that was about to pierce me missed, and the positions of the two flying dragons overlapped from my point of view—aiming for that moment, I thrust my fist out using the acceleration of the magic in the air.
"Healing Instant Fist!!"
"What!?'"
The fist hits the spear-wielding soldier's flying dragon directly, and an additional impact is slammed into it.
As a result, it tilts sharply to the side and collides with another flying dragon.
"Nea!"
"Yes, now!"
A restraining spell charged from his fist is released, temporarily stopping the movement of the two flying dragons.
Still, I can't stop for long.
So——、
"I'm going to push it!"
This time, he uses the healing jump to make a bigger leap than before.
In that state, extend the belt from the wrists of both hands, wrap the belt around the immobilized flying dragon, and accelerate it by pulling it as much as possible.
In addition, with an outburst of magical power from both arms, and at maximum acceleration...
"Healing Kick!"
——Kick with both feet.
The blow, which was struck using the recoil of the belt and the acceleration of all its might, succeeded in greatly disrupting the posture of the two flying dragons.
"Usato, if you keep going like this, you're going to fall!"
"Oh, I know!"
After making sure that the two flying dragons were completely out of balance, he quickly extended his belt to the rest of the enemy, the flying dragon that Hannah was riding.
- While beating the flying dragon who doesn't even show the pretense of escaping, he climbs up the belt wrapped around his leg.
「…… It's quiet."
"It doesn't look like it's going to run away."
Have you given up? No, then it's more natural to think that he still escaped.
Without resistance, he just climbs on its back, thinking creepily about the flying dragon flapping its wings.
Behind him was a soldier wearing a helmet holding the reins in a frightened manner, and Hannah, the commander of the III Corps in robes.
When I tried to restrain her, who was backing away from me with a hood over her eyes, the soldier opened her mouth with a trembling voice.
"Oh, don't miss it......"
「…… Uh-huh."
"Huh!?"
Even though I haven't said anything yet.
No, I know you're going to be scared, but I'm going to let you get delirious and crash...... I don't want that to happen.
Speak as quietly and clearly as possible.
"Get down to the ground, be safe."
"Yes......
With a tearful voice, he manipulates the reins and the flying dragon descends to the ground.
…… After all, the ground is better than the air. I don't really like it when I'm in the sky because it reminds me of when Rose threw me into the darkness of Ringle.
"Well, I've finally cornered you."
「…… Whew!"
As long as you are on the back of a flying dragon, there is no escape.
First of all, let's have Nea cast a restraint spell so that she can't do anything.
Thinking of this, she tried to reach for it, and her hair dripped from Hannah's hood, which trembled in fear.
"Blonde......?"
What do you mean? I'm sure Hannah's hair color from a distance was a light purple.
He immediately removed the hood, and the real face underneath was not Hannah, but a face he didn't know.
Blonde female demon tribe.
The demon woman, who was greatly upset and had tears in her eyes at the revelation of her true face, grabbed the robe she was forced to wear and desperately tried to say something.
"This was forced on me...... Uh, that's why!"
"...... forcibly?"
"What do you mean......?"
This person is certainly not Hannah.
But there is no escape in the air.
And where?
"——No way!"
I turned to the soldier behind me in frustration, and someone put his hand on my cheek.
The first thing I saw was a purple light in my eyes.
Hannah, a pale purple woman whose face was within a stone's throw away, smiled with a sense of accomplishment as she threw away her helmet with her other hand.
"You're mine now."
With those words, the purple magic of the phantom system poured into me.

What kind of monster is this!? (Preemptive)
I casually put out a full-body defense version of Usato.
In that case, it feels like you put on a hood and your whole body turns black.
