Chapter 54
My body... I can't move...
The Wizard at DEM all wore expressions of fear, their bodies trembling uncontrollably as they were unable to move.
"Hey, you guys ganged up on me so badly just now, isn't it my turn now?"
The longsword in his hand vanished, and the Elemental Spirit reappeared in his hand.
With a "whoosh," she waved her Elemental Spirit, and a transparent barrier enveloped Lingmeng and the Wizard of DEM.
"I've surrounded this place with a barrier, so it's completely isolated from the outside world. Whatever I do here, no one will disturb us."
Lingmeng tilted her head and smiled in a deliberately cute way.
This smile might seem incredibly comforting to outsiders, but to the Wizard of DEM, it's as terrifying as a death knell.
"So, what's next..."
Lingmeng snapped her fingers lightly.
After that, all the Wizard of DEM were moved to one location by Lingmeng and gathered together.
They stood in rows in front of Lingmeng, unable to move, and the area was isolated from the outside world by Lingmeng's barrier.
To put it bluntly, they are now a perfect living target.
By raising the Elemental Spirit above, all the elements that Lingmeng could control appeared.
The elements of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, light, darkness, space, time, and spirit began to gather one by one.
Gradually, the elements merged from individual shapes into an enormous elemental sphere.
Different elements intertwine with it, appearing and disappearing intermittently, making it look incredibly beautiful and sacred.
However, Lingmeng and the Wizard of DEM knew that this elemental sphere was not just pretty to look at.
Goodbye, everyone!
Smiling and waving goodbye to the Wizard of DEM, Lingmeng threw the elemental orb directly at them.
"No... please! Please let us go!"
Seeing the elemental orbs flying towards them, the Wizard of DEM panicked instantly, and countless similar pleas for mercy rang out.
However, Lingmeng ignored them and continued to let them call out like that.
After all, Lingmeng isn't some saint. He spared the ASTs when they fought before simply because they posed no threat to his life.
So Lingmeng simply treated them as tools to pass the time.
But this time was different; this time, their lives were truly in danger.
If Lingmeng still lets them go after all this, then Lingmeng is simply insane!
Besides, if apologies were enough, what would be the point of having Police?
It's like you insert it, then pull it out—does that mean you didn't insert it at all? (Funny)
And so, the elemental orb flew away rapidly, and then with a "bang!" a massive elemental storm struck.
This powerful elemental storm instantly engulfed all of DEM's Wizard.
The effect of this elemental storm is absolutely no less than that of the Bomb planted by DEM, and may even be a few times stronger!
If Lingmeng hadn't used her spatial abilities to create a barrier, Tengu City would probably have been a peaceful "nuclear day" again, right? (laughs)
And so, all two hundred-plus Wizard were wiped out by Lingmeng's powerful attack!
Chapter 49: The Lineup Begins
"Ah, this is the first time I've ever dealt such a heavy blow to a human since I came into this world..."
After the elemental sphere exploded, a large cloud of dust rose within the barrier.
After a few minutes, the dust had mostly settled.
With her eyes fixed ahead, the Wizard of DEM at this moment had probably all been blown to smithereens, leaving not even ashes behind.
The spot that had just been full of people was suddenly empty, leaving Lingmeng with mixed feelings.
Because it was the first time she had ever harbored murderous intent towards someone, even though the other person was an enemy and behaved inhumanly, Lingmeng still felt somewhat uncomfortable.
After all, suddenly asking an otaku who only plays games and watches anime to commit murder is a psychological experience that can't be accepted overnight.
"Well... anyway, they deserved to die. How dare they joke with other people's lives. Even if we let them go like this, they won't reflect on their actions, will they?"
Reassuring herself in this way, Lingmeng's previously anxious mood calmed down a little.
Just then, the spatial barrier that Lingmeng had set up began to slowly disappear.
Meanwhile, Kotori and her crew on Fraxinus watched in astonishment as Lingmeng wiped out more than two hundred Wizard, whose strength was only slightly inferior to Origami, in less than a minute.
"This is... this is terrifying... Is this the power of the Strongest Spirit, Element Maker?"
"That elemental sphere could probably have blown an entire city to smithereens, right? After using such Pervert skill, she doesn't seem tired at all. Just how much Spirit Power does she have?!"
The crew members below were discussing amongst themselves, all of them shocked by Lingmeng's monstrous strength.
(Wow, it's even more amazing than I imagined.)
Although Kotori already had some understanding of Lingmeng's strength, when she actually demonstrated it, it completely exceeded Kotori's expectations.
"Alright, alright, all of you shut your mouths. Why do you all look like country bumpkins visiting the city?"
"You're so surprised by this little bit? Are you even considered members of Ratatoskr?"
Kotori slammed her hand on the table in front of the Command Seat and scolded.
I'm so sorry! ×N
Seeing that Kotori seemed a little angry, the crew members immediately straightened their expressions and resumed their work.
Turning her attention back to the big screen, Kotori noticed that Lingmeng on the screen seemed to be smiling and waving at them.
This gesture was as if he were thanking them.
Kotori simply crossed her arms and gave a slight smile.
"Haha, looks like we did a pretty good job with this assist?"
Kotori's tone held a hint of pride. After all, she had clearly seen that Lingmeng's affection for Shido had reached the level of a sealed seal.
Well... even though it's only barely enough to seal it at ninety degrees, it's still a major breakthrough!
"Now that Lingmeng's affection level has reached a point where it can be sealed, all that's left is for Shido to kiss her and we'll be all set. Wait... where's Shido?"
She was muttering to herself about the final steps to take when, a second later, Kotori seemed to remember something important.
"Huh? I think I forgot about Shido?"
Kotori tilted her head blankly, only now remembering that her brother was still being attacked by those three Wizards...
----------------This is a dividing line for shifting perspectives
"Ah, Kotori and the others arrived just in time. If they had come any later, it would have been a completely different story."
After stopping her waving and thanking him, Lingmeng stretched comfortably, feeling a sense of relief.
"Ah--!"
Just then, a pitiful scream pulled Lingmeng back to reality.
Lingmeng quickly looked around and found that not far ahead, our poor Shido seemed to have been forgotten by everyone, silently enduring the torment of those three guys all by himself.
"Holy crap! I completely forgot about that."
Lingmeng gasped in surprise, realizing she had completely forgotten about Shido's existence.
In order to prevent Shido from being persecuted by the three of them any longer, Lingmeng quickly used her spatial abilities to teleport away.
----------------This is a dividing line for shifting perspectives
"Aaaaaah... Help! Kotori, what are you doing!? (? OдO)b"
Shido, who was in the Territory, was slumped on the ground, his eyes fixed on the three people who were attacking him.
Because he had been attacked for a long time by three of the World's Top Five Wizards, the Territory that Shido had built up on his body had begun to show cracks.
Seeing this, Shido knew that this Territory wouldn't last much longer.
"Turn me to pieces!"
"Smack!"
Anlia Finna shouted, and as she raised her twin swords and attacked with all her might once more, Shido's Territory finally couldn't withstand the intense sensation and shattered like glass.
"Huh!?(#?Д?)"
Realizing that his only barrier was gone, Shido became even more panicked.
"You brat... how dare you mock me, Anlia Finna, like this! I'll make you pay the price!"
Recalling Shido's earlier mockery, Anlia Finna's expression grew even angrier. She raised her weapon, ready to deliver the final blow to Shido, who had lost the protection of his Territory.
"Whoa!" Due to the instinctive reaction of hesitation, Shido subconsciously lowered his head, completely unable to look at the twin swords in Anlia Finna's hands.
(Am I really doomed this time? I haven't even saved Lingmeng or made her realize her worth yet, and now I'm going to die like this? I'm so unwilling!)
With these thoughts in mind, Shido still harbored resentment towards Lingmeng even on his deathbed.
Just as Shido was about to face death, a familiar voice rang out.
"Ah, you're about to die, and you're still thinking about saving me? Shido, you're such an idiot."
(What is that voice!?)
Upon hearing that voice, Shido's emotions suddenly became incredibly excited, because he was all too familiar with that voice!
Because the owner of this voice is--
"Lingmeng!"
Shido raised his head, excitedly calling out the name of the person who made the voice, his expression full of joy.
At this moment, Lingmeng was holding the Elemental Spirit in her right hand, while her left hand effortlessly caught Anlia Finna's Light Sword, and she looked at Shido with a smile.
Because of her ability to use her powers, Lingmeng can easily know what Shido is thinking.
"Hey Shido, anyway, thanks for your help! I never thought you, this herbivore virgin, would have such a manly side!"
Lingmeng casually shrugged, teasing Shido in this way.
Shido didn't say anything, just gave an awkward smile.
"Well, let's talk about those things later. Right now, the important thing is..."
The smile vanished, replaced by a chilling expression.
Lingmeng stared at the three people who were less than a meter away from her.
Blue lightning crackled in Ayame's left hand, which was gripping the Light Sword Anlia Finna, Lingmeng slightly increased the pressure in her hand.
In an instant, Lingmeng broke Angela Finna's Light Sword in two!
After easily snapping Anlia Finna's Light Sword, Lingmeng withdrew her left hand, shouting angrily.
"What... do you guys want to do to my best friend Shido Itsuka!?"
Chapter Fifty Crushing
"What!? Shouldn't you have already been defeated by them?"
Anlia Finna's eyes widened as she stared at Lingmeng, who had suddenly appeared before her.
After quickly throwing away the Light Sword that Lingmeng had destroyed, she immediately returned to Emilia Reylos and Amabane Shizuna's side, clutching the remaining Light Sword tightly in her hand.
"Who knows? They were down before I even put up a fight, so lame!"
Lingmeng shrugged casually, her face full of mockery.
