After he nodded at the girls in front of him, Erica and Ena tiptoed together, trying to bring their faces close to his. Hence, Godou bent down to accommodate them.
"I must allow you to be able to fight without reservation..."
"And this is Ena and everyone's job..."
As soon as Godou finished kissing Erica, he immediately kissed Ena.
Then he alternated between the two girls, engaging in mutual sucking, liking, savoring. Erica and Ena accepted Godou's lips in turn, responding with sucking and bold movements of the tongue. Occasionally, the three sets of lips would intimately entangle with one another, making it impossible to tell which saliva was whose.
Last time, there was the night of the trio's reunion at Colonia Agrippina.
At the time, the three of them had engaged in similar behavior, but interrupted in the middle as soon as they regained their senses.
But now, the trio's suppressed feelings from that time were set ablaze once more. Godou, Erica and Ena indulged themselves as though in a dream.
During this time, the two girls also delicately applied healing magic to Godou.
To be frank, Godou's ailments had already been cured earlier—
Furthermore, Yuri and Liliana were dumbfounded by this sudden development. The silver-haired knight abruptly recovered from her surprise and spoke up without warning:
"K-Kusanagi Godou's premier knight is me. I cannot hand over the necessary duties to you all...! Mariya Yuri, this is too early for you, allow me to take over here—"
"What are you talking about!? E-Even someone like me, I am still able to help Godou-san!"
Liliana and Yuri hugged Godou's left and right arms respectively.
Consequently, Godou took turns in kissing the lips presented by the girls. The ritual ended up being conducted with all four girls together.
Part 2
Running out of control in this manner, the aberrant ritual finally came to an end.
Recovering consciousness, the quintet endured unprecedented embarrassment. With Godou in the center and Erica beside him, along with Yuri, Liliana and Ena, they all looked very uncomfortable.
Despite being a long-awaited reunion between the five, no one could find words to speak.
After all, they were well aware that they had gone too far, knowing fully that "mental confusion caused by magic or authorities" could not be used as an excuse for their behavior.
However, Liliana murmured to speak up at last:
"What an utter embarrassment for me... But it is all because of Erica. No matter what, you should not have forced your way in like that. Knowing you, I am quite sure you were well aware that no further magic was needed, right?"
"W-What are you talking about, Lily? That was clearly just an excuse!"
"Speaking of which, I have been curious ever since just now. It feels like Erica-san and Ena-san are getting along much better than before..."
"Well, that's because ever since arriving in this era, we've been through thick and thin together. It's not like it was prompted by some kind of special occasion, honestly, there really wasn't!"
"I-In any case, the current problem is Doni and Artio!"
Despite being the principal war criminal, Godou forcibly changed the subject.
If what he engaged in until now was considered "high-speed driving," then this would then be "normal-speed driving." In many ways, staying in "a honed state" indefinitely was not possible.
"By the way, Erica, I'm surprised you were able to borrow Uldin's dragon."
Erica and Ena had set off on their journey a week ago. However, reaching the forest, where the Hunnic godslayer resided, would take almost a month, even on horse.
Even water routes would not work. Unlike sailing downstream, this required going opposite to the Rhine's flow, which meant that the trip should take quite a few days.
"I used magic to send a letter to Ruska and Clotilde, asking them to come over. If Uldin's pterosaurs were used, it takes less than half a day to fly to this area."
Erica replied. Worried about Madame Aisha's charm authority, she and Ena had fled Colonia Agrippina. Then after settling down at a suitable city, she had written a letter and used [Mailing] magic to deliver it to Uldin's fortress.
"...Oh yeah. There is that kind of magic!"
This was magic for instantaneously transferring light objects such as letters to a specific location.
Godou recalled how Erica had used it many times in the past.
"Well, although Ruska and Clotilde helped to persuade, it still took quite a lot of effort to mobilize Uldin. In the end, we provided information from our side."
"Information?"
"Yes. Basically, if things go well, he would be able to conquer Colonia Agrippina effortlessly. Then there was the appearance of the Devil King-slaying god, easily capable of slaughtering three godslayers. I suggested that he should come nearby to confirm the veracity of these two facts."
Not only making this type of request on account of the alliance but also stimulating Uldin's desire and curiosity.
This really was something that Erica would do. Reportedly, the Hunnic godslayer was currently in the outskirts of Colonia Agrippina with his two wives, discreetly observing the situation.
It was possible that he was currently watching the battlefield from somewhere.
"If Godou is slain in battle here and only Madame Aisha is able to return alone, Uldin will probably attack Colonia Agrippina with delight. So, how is the Madame currently?"
This time, it was Godou's turn to explain the situation on his side.
After getting a rough summary across, they heard the sound of joyful cheering.
Due to the appearance of the three owl-bear hybrid divine beasts as well as Godou's rampaging [Boar], even the Franks were struck by fright.
On top of that, there were also a pterosaur-mounted female knight and a swordswoman wielding a black demon blade.
When it first started, the Franks all ran away from these unknown people, but as the giant beast battle gradually intensified, they gathered in one spot.
Roars of the giant beasts—particularly the [Boar]'s—went as far as to shake the sky, causing the air to ring from the aftershock of supersonic waves.
The ground shook violently when the [Boar] ran. It was like an earthquake.
This situation not only brought terror to the warriors but also stimulated their primitive sense of faith. Alas, this was undoubtedly a battle of gods, bringing the end of the world, that was what they thought...
There were roughly two thousand Franks taking part in the battle.
Casualties amounted to roughly one tenth of them, no longer able to fight. Although the able-bodied ones would probably disapprove of their fleeing comrades, quite a number of people were being abandoned on the battlefield.
Before they knew it, the Frankish warriors were overcome with terror and pain, causing them to stop fleeing.
However, the owl-bear divine beasts were all defeated right in front of them.
The [Boar], the dragon rider and the demon sword user had left already. Saved from a crisis, the Franks were filled with joy, experiencing something known as liberation.
Nevertheless, this only lasted but a moment, because a man was floating up from a fissure in the battlefield.
Despite bearing the same face as the man whom the Franks respected as their great chieftain, he was already dead. The goddess, who bore a grudge against the Franks, had stolen his remains and was now controlling his body.
"Hohohoho. Well then, let us continue the fight."
In fact, what came from his mouth was the voice of a young woman.
The warrior proceeded to draw a thick and heavy blade, raising it towards the sky. Countless sparks appeared high in the air. This scene greatly resembled a night performance of dazzling fireworks.
However, these fireworks did not dissipate, instead remaining above the Franks in the sunny sky above—
"Well then, crude barbarians.
.. Where are the godslayers protecting you? If they do not show themselves, it cannot be helped. Then I shall first bring divine retribution upon you all."
Surviving and returned from underground, the warrior approached the Franks.
Countless sparks were still shining brightly high up in the air. All it would take was for a portion of these lights to fall down and all the Franks would be annihilated effortlessly.
Just at this moment, someone among the warriors called out "Lady Aisha!"
This became the start. All the warriors began to call out. Lady Aisha, Our Lady the Holy Maiden, please bring us salvation, extending your hands of mercy towards us, Holy Maiden Aisha, Holy Maiden Aisha, Holy Maiden Aisha, Holy Maiden Aisha, Holy Maiden Aisha, Holy Maiden Aisha, Holy Maiden Aisha, Holy Maiden Aisha, Holy Maiden Aisha, Holy Maiden Aisha, Holy Maiden Aisha, Holy Maiden Aisha—
"We beseech you to grant us salvation, Holy Maiden!"
This rowdy commotion was caused by the charm authority's curse combined with being cornered towards the abyss of death.
Then after that.
From high above—a rainbow glow of light descended from between the clouds in humanoid form.
This glow drifted gently to the ground, turning into a beauty in a white overcoat the instant it landed.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Intense shouting and yelling resounded throughout this plain in Germania.
Indeed, Madame Aisha was supposed to have been devoured by the lightning of salvation.
Bluntly stated, she did not actually die. As the saying went, never two without three—As implied by this proverb, fortune's blessing opened the [Fairy's Corridor] once again.
This was the exact same method of evacuation used against the Divine Sword of Salvation's first attack.
However, using this power exhausted Aisha greatly. It also made her utterly famished.
Also, on her return to the battlefield, Doni-Artio was also revived together with the divine sword, with the sparks of salvation's lightning scattered high up in the sky. In addition, there were the Franks, cheering for the Holy Maiden's name—
"Oh dear."
Aisha happened to land in between Doni-Artio and the Frankish warriors.
Standing in the middle, she coughed drily once. After trying to make her face as dignified as possible, she turned to face the Franks.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
The warriors responded to her with joyful cheers of surprise. Feeling happy about this, Aisha waved to the warriors.
She could hardly contain the delight she was experiencing inside.
Since the divine sword-wielding Doni-Artio was approaching, she turned to face the goddess's direction.
"You have revived as well, woman godslayer. In that case, allow me to send you and those barbarians to the grave together. Hoho, what sort of strange tactics will you attempt to use to attack me next?"
"Why are things like this... When fighting only causes a chain reaction of hatred and sadness..."
Doni-Artio was pressing forward for a head on battle.
Her fierce words brought a sense of sadness to Aisha's happy heart.
Artio was a tragic goddess who had forgotten love. If possible, Aisha really wanted to save her. However, a desperate crisis was now approaching Aisha and the Franks. What should she do?
"Our Lady the Holy Maiden!" "Please save us, Lady Aisha!" "Please grant us mercy, Holy Maiden!" "Please offer us your hands of salvation!" "Our Lady the Holy Maiden!" "Holy Maiden!" "Our Lady the Holy Maiden!" "Holy Maiden!" "Our Lady the Holy Maiden!" "Holy Maiden!" "Our Lady the Holy Maiden!" "Holy Maiden!" "Our Lady the Holy Maiden!" "Holy Maiden!"
The people's voices came from behind nonstop.
Everyone was praying, hoping to obtain protection. Everybody was wishing for the arrival of a savior who dared to oppose the gods. Also, she was currently the only one capable of protecting them!
Phew. She took a deep breath. Driven by the situation and the mood, Aisha made her decision.
"Right now, I have almost no power remaining..."
Due to entering the corridor for an emergency evacuation, she was already thoroughly exhausted.
The queen of winter's authority had already ended due to using the trump card, [Underworld's Descent], and had returned to a healing authority. However, her healing powers were temporarily reduced after reversing the authority.
Right now, Aisha's body did not have much of anything that could be called strength.
"Even so, I still wish to protect everyone! No, I will protect you all!"
Absorbing the people's cheering, an authority inside Aisha's body stirred from slumber.
No matter how perfect her body's condition, this could not be used without the populace's support. Conversely, given their support—the voices of those seeking protection—No matter how exhausted her body, this authority would still bestow Aisha with the "power to defend the populace"!
"Awaken, soul of steel! Exhibit to the world the sword's lack of mercy!"
"Hmm—!?"
This was the divine ability that Aisha had reluctantly usurped from a dragon-slaying hero.
Confronted with the imminent activation of the authority named by the Witenagemot as the [Jabberwock Slayer], Doni-Artio was dumbfounded.
High in the air were the sparks summoned by the Divine Sword of Salvation. There was also the immense cheering, singing in praise of the Holy Maiden.
Seeing Doni-Artio and Madame Aisha revived, Godou's group went near where the Franks were gathered. Just now, Godou had asked Liliana to use flight magic.
Then upon seeing the newest monster, Godou was greatly shocked.
"Another new monster appeared!"
"Could it be a new minion that Artio summoned!?"
"N-Not that..."
Next to Godou and Erica, Yuri whispered in a trembling voice.
The Hime-Miko's gaze was directed towards an olive-skinned beauty dressed in a white overcoat. Apparently blessed with a spirit vision's arrival, Yuri revealed the oracle in a solemn voice.
"The one who summoned that thing should be Madame Aisha...!"
"A-Aisha-san is the one who summoned that dangerous thing!?"
"Speaking of which, the Witenagemot's report did have records. The Madame apparently has an authority that can summon an unidentified weapon..."
Ena was rendered speechless. Liliana murmured as a result of recalling what she had read.
Godou's quintet raced towards the center of the commotion. Doni-Artio and Madame Aisha were currently facing off in front of them. Numerous sparks were shining brightly high up in the air.
Furthermore, there was a steel monster hovering in the air.
A warrior with an armored upper torso. However, the warrior's obese physique looked rather comical. Protected all over by steel armor, not a single inch of skin could be seen.
From head to waist, the height was over ten meters tall.
Unbelievably, the lower half was "mist."
Black mist was spreading out from the waist's location.
Also, black rocks resembling coals were continuously spewing out from various joints and gaps in the armor. These rocks rained down on the ground like black bullets. These rocks ranged greatly in size, from that of human heads to giant boulders capable of crushing entire houses.
On the other hand, ordinary humans would definitely be severely injured or even die if struck by any of these rocks, no matter which size.
The rain of rocks also fell upon the Franks' location, causing them to evade desperately in all directions. Even so, they still wanted to watch over their great chieftain's battle—
"Everyone!"
Madame Aisha cried out loudly.
"Staying here is very dangerous, so please do your utmost to escape! As long as it is on the level of injuries, I will help heal everyone later!"
Warned to evacuate from the danger, the Franks started fleeing all at once. Roughly two thousand warriors s
cattered in all directions one after another.
The fleeing warriors were all loudly yelling "uwahhhhh, uwahhhhh!"
While this was happening, the spewing of black rocks finally ended. Only black smoke came out from the armored archdemon for now.
"O lightning of salvation, crush the godslayer's avatar!"
Doni-Artio gave orders, causing the sparks in the sky to change immediately.
Flickering, the countless sparks formed the shape of a long snake, attacking as a "serpent of lightning." Naturally, the target was the smoke-spewing armored archdemon.
The serpent's lower jaw was stopped by the archdemon's left gauntlet that was of comparable size.
Enduring the attack the archdemon opened its right hand to manifest a longsword of steel. But in that very instant, the "serpent" biting its left hand released electricity from all over its body.
Naturally, being in close contact with the serpent, the archdemon suffered a violent shock.
Gaps in the armor violently spewed out a great deal of steam and numerous fireballs.
Speaking of fireballs, they would be more accurately described as flaming chunks of rock. The rocks fell on the ground, causing fires to spread through the vegetation on the plain, burning intensely. In the worst case scenario, this could lead to a great fire disaster.
The archdemon spewed off fireballs when damaged—
Using humans as an analogy, this should be equivalent to bleeding. However, the archdemon endured the painful blow and stabbed the summoned longsword into the serpent's body. As a result, the serpent's form collapsed and scattered as sparks.
The archdemon's longsword had returned the damage inflicted by the lightning aggregate.
However, after scattering for a few dozen seconds, the sparks formed a serpent again.
This time, the great snake wrapped its long serpentine body around the archdemon's armor, then released electricity. Suffering the second electrical strike with its full body, the archdemon stopped moving.
Steam and fireballs once again gushed out from the gaps in the armor.
This time, probably more than two hundred fireballs fell to the ground. However, sharp blades suddenly popped out from the five fingers of the archdemon's left hand, the one not wielding the sword.
