Shoot Down
"Wince, what's the situation?"
When I met up with Wince in the sky, I was greeted with a displeased look.
"What's that look?"
"No, I can't complain anymore, but you're an idiot anyway, aren't you, Shiro-san?"
Isn't that a complaint?
"I'm sure you've heard from Yukikaze, but if Shiro-san dies, everything will be over, so please don't do anything reckless."
"I know"
"I don't want you to give it your all and have you wither and die!"
"I know."
Am I that untrustworthy?
Further up in the sky, Baldner faction ships are still attacking the top of Tuega.
"I'll drop one for now."
"Understood. I'll take care of the defense, so please concentrate on the attack."
I make Vouivre's sword appear at about 70% output.
Then, all at once, I felt a loss of strength from my whole body.
"I spent too much all at once... It's going to be tough if I don't save more."
"They've noticed Shiro-san's mana, and they're going to attack!"
The attack on Tuega has stopped.
Something is shot at me
But that is prevented by Wince.
"Wince, are you okay?"
"Yes, it's just an optical weapon. It can be distorted by the heat of my Vouivre sword."
There don't seem to be any defensive concerns.
So I can aim at the enemy ship without hesitation.
"You'll regret shooting as much as you want!"
Maximum throw possible at present
The sword broke through the thin wall of air and flew away with a roaring sound.
"Good!"
"Uee, can you reach that distance?"
"I threw it because I thought it would reach!"
"…You thought?"
"I threw it with the feeling that I'd be lucky if it reached!"
People call this all good as a result.
It did a good job of piercing the bank of the ship.
"The damage is small, but it's a bit of a deterrent..."
But my blow isn't like that.
A large hole suddenly appears in the enemy ship centered around the place where it was pierced.
"...Shiro-san?"
"Isn't that strange? Did I do something?"
Why does just throwing a hot sword leave such a huge hole?
"Did something dangerous ignite on the ship?"
"Do you want to fight a battle with that thing on board?"
"…You won’t, right?"
While I was wondering, I heard a communication mixed with noise.
-Shiro! What did you just do!-
It's a message from Yukikaze.
It seems that the noise is mixed in because we are too far away from each other.
"No, I just threw the Vouivre sword at quite a bit of output, you know?"
-No matter how you think about it, that's quite a lot of output... What, Niyo? ......Sigh*...-
The two of them are talking while communicating somehow.
-I see. I've determined the cause. Shiro's attack caused a steam explosion-
"A steam explosion? Will that leave a big hole in the ship?"
-You idiot! I told you to save your mana! You'll run out of mana and die!-
Although it was called a steam explosion, it was not an explosion caused by water.
Apparently, the ship's armor and building materials melted and caused an explosion. Wait a minute.
"It would be bad if I released this on the ground..."
I shudder at Vouivre's sword, which I have never used at full strength before.
The biggest blow I've ever had was when I melted Marguerite's castle.
Once again, I'm glad I didn't have to give it my all until now.
"Shiro-san, the ship is running away."
Although it was a miscalculation, it was a blessing in disguise.
The ship moves away from Tuega, wary of my attack.
"Alright, all that's left to do is cut down this big rotten tree..."
"Shiro-san, stand back!"
Wince comes in front of me, and an attack from Tuega comes flying at her.
"The intensity of the attack has increased!"
-Shiro, Wince! Those damn people did it even harder!-
"In particular?!"
-They used external hacking to overload Tuega's remaining core and defense mechanisms! What about the damage there?-
They really are the kind of people who don't cut corners when it comes to harassment.
"Thanks to Wince, I'm unharmed. What about the knights?"
-Several people were killed by debris and defense structures. The knights can't get close anymore-
"Okay, we'll take care of the rest. Where is the location?"
-Can you go to a location 5 kilometers up from there?-
"I'm sure I can, though I don't know what will happen to it if I cut it down."
-Yeah, I'm sorry, but I'll make all the knights and Nosaga retreat-
"Please do that. Wince."
"Let's do the big work!"
