Part 3
Kasukabe Yō, Laius and Gry's teamwork only lasted a short while. After all, including Izayoi, once they each used their strong power, making a rampage freely, so it was a matter of course. After the teamwork collapsed, they each fought for themselves.
But among them, only Laius' figure couldn't be seen.
(That Bastard! The Gift Hermit is damn troublesome!)
Izayoi ripped apart the 「Adamantine」 serpents while looking for his whereabouts. The helmet of hermit that received the Gift of Hades had the worst compatibility with Izayoi. Aside from the voice for commands, there was no other signs of presence.
As a result, Izayoi was forced to run around all the time to avoid receiving surprise attacks. Of course, running around for about an hour wouldn't deplete his stamina, but like this, points of Laius would be maintained. What's more, for some reason, Laius completely ignored the other two and only aimed at Izayoi.
(Now, what do do.......! It's about time to make a decision......!)
Should he aim at the other two and ignore Laius? Or should he start with the enemy who has the worst compatibility? But to Izayoi, something like that was not even worth thinking about. Floating a ferocious smile, he clinged at the corner of the cave and called out to invisible Laius.
"Luilui, Let's end the match already! Come out and show yourself!"
It was a cheap provocation, so he was aware that it would fail.
What Izayoi aimed at were the three attacks. And according to his plan, the bedrock around him started to demonify and pulsate.
(He felt for it......!)
Izayoi's hand and legs got restrained that looked as if he was taken by a surprise. Because he guessed that if he leaned on the cave with his back, then Laius would surely demonify that section of it.
And Laius would decide to deliver the final blow himself.
"Keep restraining him like that, Algol! I will finish it myself!"
Although the voice seemed to come from the far away, the owner was probably in some 10 meters away. As soon as Izayoi noticed that he came surprisingly near, he immediately tore off the restrictions on his right foot and at the same time kicked down the ground and destroyed it.
"Is that all you've got!"
Along with the roar, came a tempest of fragments. The kicked up rocks flew everywhere on the opposite side like bullets and whole cave shook.
From that shock, the ceiling of the cave got cracked and stalactites started raining down like spears.
But what Izayoi aimed at was something else.
(Good, the dust cloud rose up! With this, I will know no matter where he comes from!)
Back at the White Wall Palace, Kasukabe Yō was able to detect the helmet of hermit with sound waves.
This is the imitation of it. If possible, he didn't want to use the same strategies as other people, but he had no luxury to afford that. This Gift is the most threatful among the ones that 「Perseus」 holds.
If he couldn't bring him down with blow, there would be no second chance.
Izayoi put strength to his fist.
Currently, all parts except one leg were restricted with demonified bedrock, but something like that could be released whenever he wanted. That's why he thought he might be able to bait him out if he continued to be restricted to the last moment.
He strained his eyes in order to not miss even the tiniest motion of the dust cloud.
The moment the dust cloud at the right direction jolted a bit, Izayoi widened his eyes.
"—So that's where you are!"
He threw a punch towards the bedrock that was restraining his right hand. His fist tore off the cloud of dust and accurately smashed the helmet of hermit.
But, immediately following that, Izayoi's eyes were dyed with wonder.
(—!!? Laius is not here!? Just the helmet and boots!?)
At that moment, he notice that he was the one who got baited. Laius made a decoy out of the helmet of hermit and flying boots and let them receive Izayoi's strongest blow.
Laius didn't miss this opportunity that appeared only for an instant.
"You are the one who got baited— Sakamaki Izayoi!!!"
Laius fell down from above aiming at Izayoi's back. Izayoi still had his fist pushed out and his stance was broken, so he was not aware about Laius' location.
With this, it was clearly understood which one ended up in the dark. The Gift of Leo wasn't very helpful with the star spirit killer spears. What's more Laius was coming from above and Izayoi stood below.
From his stance, attacking was impossible. But the boiling point of Izayoi who has been had, wasn't low to that point.
"Above huh!!! In that case I'll break down every part around together—!!!"
He brandished his fist, and thrust it towards the ground.
In an instant, the shock that would be mistaken for an earthquake spread through the entire mine district. The moment bedrock received a serious blow of Izayoi, it collapsed to dust with a force that it seemed like it would pierce the earth crust itself. Mountain and each part of the slanted mine started to collapse, and rock started to fall even to the audience seats.
"I-It's dangerous!"
Kuro Usagi took out 「Vajra Replica」 and started destroying the falling rocks. But she alone was not enough.
Among the screams raised in the audience from the falling rocks came a voice of encouragement.
"This is bad! Let's go Mandra!"
"Big sister should go to the right! I'll head to the left!"
"S-Sara-sama? Even Mandra-sama!"
Kuro Usagi's usamimi jumped up from surprise. Sara and Mandra got on the stage and started breaking rocks.
Kuro Usagi heard that she managed to recover the Dragon Horn, but shouldn't she and Coppélia supposed to be resting?
"Sorry, we had a reason to come here. That's why we moved in cover. In truth, It's about Sandra—”
".......Sister. It would be better to discuss about that matter later. Right now, protecting the audience takes priority."
"YES! With you two around, it would be a great help! Problem is the matter of town......"
"That won't be a problem. Every member of 「No Name」 should have come yesterday. There should be no problem if they are there"
After the words of Sara, Kuro Usagi clasped both hands together and showed her gratitude.
At that time, Shirayuki-hime, Leticia, and Croix lending their support at the reservoir of mines.
Shirayuki-hime who was holding the water from reservoir back from flooding the town, asked a question in irritation.
"Heey, doesn't head know the limit!"
"Really. We are somehow managing this because of Shirayuki-dono, but as one would expect, I want him to reflect on it. One mistake and it would have been a disaster."
"Kihahaha! Well, half of it is thanks to my teleportation!"
Silhouette of Croix displayed an amusing smile.
But, even though they were complaining, they all understood that Izayoi was the one at fault. But at the same time, they were glad that he decided to take this game seriously enough that he was even fighting seriously.
"......It's good that he's having fun. After all, I want our masters to have fun in Little Garden."
"Hmph, compared for Asuka and Yō, master is doing whatever he pleases."
From the remark of Shirayuki-hime, Leticia made a wry smile. But, both of them understood.
That this battle...Would decide the future paths of these three problem children.
