"The place is at the north forest... judging from this reaction, they're right by the highway. You should immediately find them simply by running there."
"Err.... We will be the one attacking?"
Ruli looked surprised when she heard me.
True, even though the barrier hasn't been installed yet, the capital still has some defenses.
Waiting patiently and ambushing them here is an option.
But that's too wasteful in this particular case.
"Yeah. This was recorded only around 30 minutes ago... It should be another 30 minutes before those demons to actually get here. The one that was caught in the magic tool wasn't the demon themselves but the magic they invoked."
Fullpower Flight has this side effect called 『Recoil』 which disturbs mana flow after being used, so it's not well suited for any movement but escaping.
Instead of using that, they use a magic called 『Demon Road』.
『Demon Road』 is a magic that enables a high-speed long-distance travel by creating a road of mana that goes to the point of destination in advance.
Compared to flying normally, using this magic can cut down travel time to 20% percent with no recoil.
Moreover, once someone has reached the destination, the second one onwards can move to it in less than five minutes each.
--That speed becomes its weakness if the mana gets detected in advance though.
"....I understand. If Mathi-kun says so, I believe in you."
"Me too, I believe too. So how should we go about shooting the demons down?"
Ruli and Alma said that and looked at me with faces full of determination.
Yup. Looks like the two have become quite aware of their own strength.
"I think you'll immediately notice a road made of magic once you arrive at the site. When the mana road begins to swell, that's the sign of the enemy coming. Once the flow of mana stops, a demon will come out in five seconds, just leave an arrow at the place you think it's coming and the other party will get stabbed by it on their own."
"On their own.... It really sounds simple when you put it that way!"
Yup.
It really is simple after all.
As long as you get the timing right, it's harder to miss even.
"How about the arrows, what should we do about them?"
"Use the exclusive metal arrows for Alma that I taught you the other day. The augment magic is... You should think it yourself."
