The Great Demon King Who Was Kidnapped After Jokingly Flirting - Didn't You Know? You Can't Escape from the Female Heroes - Chapter 42: Merciless

“Don’t be fooled by flashy attacks! That magic’s range might be wide, but it’s not unstoppable! First, focus on communication recovery and confirming our troop positions! Rushing into the dense forest without knowing our own positions will only lead to chaos! Let each unit leader take command on-site!”

General Vaginua shouted at the bewildered soldiers.

It seemed that they wouldn’t charge headlong into the dense forest with the entire army, just as planned.

Now, all that remained was…

“My magical detection barrier hasn’t picked up Anesto and the others yet… Huh? No, this is…”

At that moment, Harmesia, the grand mage who had been deploying a vast magical detection network to locate their own positions, seemed to have noticed something. We weren’t going to escape their notice anytime soon.

“Up there! Suddenly, from above, inside the barrier…”

“What!?”

It was from above.

Just outside the detection network, riding on Sky Dragon Suu, we were waiting in the sky…

“Alright, Jar-kun, you wait here because it’s dangerous♪ Chu♥”

“I’ll go clean up! Chu♥”

As they said their goodbyes with kisses on each cheek, Shini and Divias jumped off Suu and descended to the ground.

“Take this! Shining Burst Blade!”

“Haaaah! Falling Dragon’s Devastation!”

They poured an immense amount of magic into their radiant swords and fists, which were now cloaked in the pinnacle of their magic. These were the strongest techniques of Shini and Divias, brimming with unparalleled destructive power. They unleashed them without hesitation.

“This reaction… Shini!? Divias!? …This is bad! All barrier mages, create a barrier in the sky immediately! Ugh, the communication…”

Harmesia was the first to notice, but even if she did, cutting off communication wouldn’t allow her to convey her instructions in time.

“Then I will! Reject everything, even the changes of heaven and earth! Gigalight Reflection!!”

And she lived up to her reputation as a grand mage. Harmesia deployed a massive and sturdy top-tier barrier that covered the sky above the main camp.

“There we go!”

“Eeeeei!”

Ignoring the barrier, Shini and Divias charged in.

The world was filled with the sound of their fierce collision and blinding flashes.

“Harmesia!”

“General!”

“Harmesia-sama!!?”

At this moment, the entire main camp finally understood that they had been attacked from above, and by the two heroes no less. And before they could realize it, Harmesia had protected them. But…

“Ugh, this… This power, it’s incredible!”

Even though she was Harmesia, her opponents were Shini and Divias, who had defeated her, the Demon Lord, and even awakened ominous powers. It was a two-on-one battle against the strongest magical barrier, and it was gradually cracking like glass.

“No, I can’t… stop it!”

Despite her best efforts to withstand the overwhelming force and impact, blood oozed from Harmesia’s hands raised into the air. Her clenched jaw was no exception. The barrier was about to break… but then, at that moment…

“I won’t allow it!”

Another hero flew up into the sky.

“Well defended, Harmesia!”

“Vaginua…”

Harmesia’s barrier shattered into pieces.

However, at the same time the barrier broke, on the other side of it, the current strongest female general of the Allied Forces, Vaginua, raised her spear.

“Shini! Divias!”

With an angry expression tinted with fury, she shouted…

“Oh my… It’s Senpai~.”

“Hmph, you finally showed up.”

On the other hand, Shini and Divias had already consumed a massive amount of magic power to break through Harmesia’s magical barrier.

If things continued like this, they would be pierced… but…

“As expected of Jar-kun’s prediction! Truly my husband♥”

This turn of events was something I had anticipated as well.

“Love Arrow Shot♥”

A super long-range shot from outside the range of Harmesia’s detection network.

“Wha…?! Guh!? What is this…”

An arrow pierced Vaginua’s arm.

Vaginua had her attention completely on Shini and Divias in the sky, so she hadn’t noticed anything else. But she truly lived up to her reputation. She instinctively raised her arm to block the arrow from hitting her head.

“Hehe~… As expected, Senpai, you blocked the headshot~… But this support should be enough♪”

That’s right, she aimed for the head. If Vaginua hadn’t blocked it, the arrow would have undoubtedly pierced her skull, killing her. On this matter, Lovely showed no hesitation or mercy.

“Senpai, too bad!”

“Gh… Div…”

“Heavenly Thunder God Heel Dive!!”

Divias did the same.

After Vaginua had been pierced by Lovely’s arrow, right after her counter had failed, Divias delivered a devastating kick towards the defenseless Vaginua.

It connected squarely.

With a thunderous crash, Vaginua was slammed forcefully into the ground.

“Vaginua!?”

“General!?”

“Th-This can’t be, that’s… Shini-sama and Divias-sama!?”

“I-It’s true… They really are under mind control…”

Vaginua was defeated. Harmesia’s face turned pale. And the soldiers in the main camp, even though they had heard the reports, couldn’t hide their agitation when they were actually attacked by Shini and Divias.

And then…

“Alright, let’s do it again!”

Shini readied her sword in mid-air, preparing to strike again.

“Hurry, everyone, attack Shini! She can’t use that Shining Burst Blade anymore after consuming so much magic power earlier, and now she won’t…”

She was blocked once, but… she wouldn’t be able to block it a second time.

“Heal with the elixir of divine love♪ Mwah, mwah, there we go! Fully restored!!”

Shini, who had replenished her magic power with a prepared elixir, unleashed the same technique again.

“What!? Th-This can’t be…!”

Harmesia noticed that Shini’s magic power had recovered. However, there was nothing she could do now.

“Fire all forces!”

“Uoooooh!!”

The other soldiers, who still hadn’t realized what had happened, followed Harmesia’s orders and fired arrows and magic at the sky simultaneously. But all of it was pulverized…

“Shining Burst Bladeeeeee!!”

A merciless light engulfed everything.
