The monsters that had emerged around Kannawa Lake looked terrifying, but their individual strength was actually not that great. At least, they were nowhere near the level of the dragons.
They were roughly equivalent to Mid-Level Familiars, though they ranked near the top among Mid-Level Familiars and were not far from becoming High-Level Familiars. An ordinary Demon Slayer might not be their match, but for a powerful Demon Slayer, dealing with several of these monsters at once should not be difficult.
However, when there were not merely two or three of these monsters, but a swarm covering the land like locusts, it became a major disaster.
These Bee Serpents were monsters that won through sheer numbers. By now, they had spread from Kannawa Lake across every area within a dozen or so kilometers. They were extremely wild—or rather, exceptionally ferocious—and attacked almost everyone they saw. Combined with their numbers, they were just like an army of Demon Scarabs passing through. It was utterly terrifying.
Fortunately, this area consisted entirely of uninhabited mountain country. The Self-Defense Forces had already sealed off the roads, while the Lion King Organization had established barriers around the area to prevent the swarm of Bee Serpents from spreading. Otherwise, this disaster would have caused an astonishing number of casualties.
Now, the swarm of Bee Serpents was rampaging through the mountains within a dozen or so kilometers, indulging in its ferocity.

Yukina gripped Snow Haze Wolf and prepared to meet them head-on.
However, the situation was clearly unfavorable for Yukina.
Sword-Mikos were highly capable experts
