"That seems to be the case--"

"■■■ <>"

Zena finished her second spell while Sera began her next spell

Invoking h they're lower class spells, is not nor] skill Zena-san learned from Sera-san recently

The all repelled the crystal arrows shot by the eneuard, Zena-san shot down the fireballs fired by the Magic Ogre Ant with the Anti Magic Riffle installed on the opposite side of her long wand

In the meantime, Zena-san already started to chant her third spell

It see on the lower uard is paper thin compared to Nana's standard [Physical Shield] and Ninja Ta at her makes ht re Ant swa orders on the back

The glittering spectrum on the wall of the barrier inside the dark tunnel is quite beautiful

"Now's our chance desuwa!"

『Karina-dono, it's still too early!』

Lady Karina activated Flickering Move toward the ant swarm

Raka the [<>] tried to stop her in a hurry, but Lady Karina had already jure Ants that are protecting the General Ogre Ant push their shields toward Lady Karina

"How impudent, desuwa!"

She kicks the upper part of the shield with her beautiful leg, and then shethe enemy that has broken their posture as a stool

Arisa as acting as the peanut gallery shouted, "She used the ant as a stoooool!" out loud, but nobody reacted since Arisa raising odd voice was just the usual

She looked a bit lonely, I'll care for her a bit later on

Unfortunately, the Heavy Soldier Ogre Ant that was on the opposite side resisted the stored』

A whirlpool of spiral light appears on Lady Karina's hand with theit

"Karinaaaaaa, break!"

While shouting out loud, Lady Karina's fist clad with light infringes upon the Heavy Soldier Ogre Ant

The Magic Ogre Ants and Archer Ogre Ants at the deepest part took attacking positions whilenoises

『Karina-dono!』

"Yes, Raka-san--"

Lady Karina rotates once while leaving a spinning top-like afterilet hair clad in light is quite beautiful to look at

"--Breakeeeer, shoooooot!"

Shot with the centrifugal force, the spiral bullet pierced through the Heavy Soldier Ogre Ant and crushed the Magic Ogre Ant with a flash

"Karina, it's dangewrous~?"

"You'll get surrounded nodesu!"

"It's alright you two"

The two look up at Liza with blank expressions as Liza guides their line of sight toward the group who has appeared behind the ene late Gole to Princess Shistina's order, the golereat shields close their distance with the ants

Hikaru and Nana ith the princess are standing behind her

The ants that were trying to encircle Lady Karina went into disarray with the appearance of the new opponents

『Now's the time! Karina-dono』

"Yes, Raka-san!"

Lady Karina kicked one Heavy Soldier Ogre Ant with a roundhouse kick and jumped back here with hassou tobi knack

"Karina-sama, your assault was too early Even if you have solid Raka's protection, it's by no ot seriously injured and left with scars?"

Sera scolded Lady Karina's recklessness

『Sera-dono, I apologize on behalf of my master』

"Since Raka-dono is Karina-sama's supervisor, you have to restrain her well or else--"

"Sera-sahness is on her wit's end"

Zena-san as diverting the ants with lower class wind ic chant

"I'ht Karina-sa as you're not injured, please don't worry It'll be bad if you're scarred before you can becoht"

"Mwu, Satou"

Mia who's besidethat, Arisa tried to rub her head too, but since she was aiuarded her and continued looking at the battle

◇

"What's wrong, Satou"

"Ah, there's a bit--"

Just when the mid-boss battle ended to an extent, I found soe movements

I ask Hikaru to take care of Lady Karina and the others as I check the details of the luroup frodom that I had found earlier before we came here

Apparently they tried to infiltrate into the Weasel Eic [Clairvoyance] to look at the spy group's state

--Gegeh, grotesque

Looks like the last two of theht now

The Weasel Eht upper hand

Even though I said black panther, it's not a nor Panther which has screw likevery shrewdly

"Nyu~?"

"Ta so the u as such

"W-wait, is so to appear?"

Tama shakes her head to deny Arisa's question which somehow coaxed with anticipation

"Feel that so me~"

It appears Tama doesn't really understand it herself, she tilts her head and her whole body while thinking hard
