Konbini Ossan Volume 16 Chapter 4 — The Demon Lord Army’s Finest
Shortly after the Court Mage Corps began fighting, another battle started elsewhere between the upper echelon of the Demon Lord’s army and the Douki Generals.
On the Demon Lord army’s side were Leonis, Satira, and Ichiro Suzuki.
Opposing them were, remarkably, three Douki Generals as well.
“What shall we do, Leonis-dono? Satira-dono?”
“Hmph, there is only one answer. Defeat them one by one!”
In response to Ichiro Suzuki’s question, Leonis answered with action.
He charged forward first, delivering a ferocious palm strike to one of the Douki Generals and blasting it away.
“You muscle-brained fool! We were explicitly told not to touch them directly!”
“No problem!”
Satira voiced her criticism, but Leonis was completely unharmed.
There was no sign of Douki’s corruption.
“The more one masters martial arts, the sharper the body’s senses become, until one can feel the atmosphere itself clinging like oil, heavy as lead. One learns to grasp that sluggish air well, and wield techniques through it.”
“What in the world is this idiot talking about?”
“In other words, my strikes are clad in armor made of air!”
Apparently that was how it worked.
The principle made absolutely no sense, but in any case, Leonis’s fists were not direct physical blows.
If so, close combat with the Douki was apparently possible.
“Then I shall handle another one.”
With that, Ichiro Suzuki bound one of the Douki Generals with magical wind and pulled it away, creating distance.
That established three separate one-on-one battles, including Satira.
“According to Otogi-dono’s knowledge, wind-attribute magic manipulates the ‘movement’ and ‘viscosity’ of the atmosphere. If so, by raising that ‘viscosity’ to the extreme...”
Ichiro Suzuki gathered wind and formed two sword-shaped constructs, taking one in each hand.
“Then something like this becomes possible.”
The next instant, he accelerated explosively with tailwind magic and assaulted the Douki General.
Wielding twin wind swords, he unleashed a rapid barrage of strikes.
Annoyed by this, the Douki General retaliated with a punch aimed at Ichiro Suzuki.
But in an instant, wind gathered around the Douki’s fist, swallowing and stopping it.
Just as Ichiro Suzuki had said, the highly viscous wind entangled the fist, rendering it immobile.
“Well? This is the power of wind with heightened ‘viscosity.’”
Ichiro Suzuki overwhelmed the Douki General with ease.
“Hmph, I may have started late, but I shall not be outdone!”
A step behind Leonis and Ichiro Suzuki, Satira finally began her battle.
“Darkness in my right hand, light in my left!”
It seemed she had not merely been delayed, but had instead been concentrating mana into both hands.
“Bring together these two opposing forces, spiral them forth!”
Then Satira thrust both hands forward, clasping them together, releasing the two energies simultaneously in a spiraling torrent.
The vortex of light and darkness swallowed the Douki General, restraining its movements.
“Pierce through! «Rivalry Phantom»!”
The next moment, the mana surrounding Satira took a shape identical to her own and launched itself toward the Douki General.
The spectral mana figure drove both fists into the Douki General’s chest.
“Deyaaaahhh!”
As Satira made a motion as though dragging something out, the mana phantom mirrored her, pulling darkness from the General Douki’s chest.
“Hmph!”
Then Satira made a gesture as though crushing something hard in her grip.
The mana phantom followed suit, crushing the darkness it had torn from the Douki General’s chest.
Immediately afterward, the mana forming the phantom exploded.
The Douki General took heavy damage and was blasted backward.
“Still not dead, hm? Very well. Then I shall tear pieces from you as many times as necessary!”
Satira declared this while appearing to have plenty of stamina and mana left.
Well, judging from the aerial drone footage, the battles fought by these three, the finest of the Demon Lord’s army, were proceeding without any apparent danger.
“As expected of those three. To handle Douki Generals one-on-one...”
Even if their movements were sluggish, numerically they were still opponents with all SSSSS stats.
The fact that these three could stand against them so confidently meant they had likely grown even stronger than before.
At this rate, we could safely leave the Douki Generals in their hands.
