a roaring flame 　
　Generally speaking, rain falls from the sky.
　And if it's a battle going on now, it's not surprising that arrows could fall.
　But what was falling now was a very different existence... a flame.
　It was only a small part of the battlefield, but for the soldiers in it the flames were nothing but despair.

"Wow, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! It's hot, hot, hot!"
"d*mn it! Put out the fire! Wizards!"
"What's going on? What's going on?"
"If it wasn't my mistake, it looked as if the Gryphon had blown fire out of its mouth!?"
"Stupid, don't be silly! It's a Gryphon that spouts firebrace!? I've never heard of it!"
"Wait, don't run away, don't run away! If you run away here, the battle line may collapse! Now you can prevent it, and somehow stop him!"
"Don't be silly! Don't use us as shields! If you really want to prevent that monster, do it!"

　Listening to the echoing voices around him, Ray calls out to Seto, who once stopped vomiting the firebreath.

"It's rather hot down there, apparently." Let it cool down a little. I don't like hot places, even if I land."

　Ray is resistant to flames because of his dragon robes, but emotionally he probably didn't want to land in a place full of flames.
　Seth readily responds to Ray's request.
　Sett, along with Ray, has just survived the battle against noise, but he doesn't seem to be so consumed.
　This was originally Ray, who played the role of supporting the skies, but the biggest reason is that the Gryphon of the Rank A monster is more resilient than humans.

"Roll-rolling.

　It cries high, and the next moment two water poloes about 40 cm in diameter appear around the set.
　The water polo is released from the sky, hitting and blowing at soldiers caught in the flames.
　The force of the water polo itself is much higher than that of the usual water polo, and it is said that the soldiers who are forced to play on the surface of the head are torn, the flesh is torn, the blood is choked, and the right eyeball protrudes from their eyes and is connected only by the optic nerve...but the force of the water polo itself is not so powerful as to be fatal that it rolls around in pain on the ground heated by flames.

"Roll-roll-roll-roll!"

　a set that sounds like an additional song
　An arrow made of ice...when an iced arrow appears around a set of five, it is also shot down to the ground.
　It is an iced arrow that has been released amid confusion over the effects of firebreaths and water polo.
　Its power itself is not so great, it ends with a few soldiers hit in confusion.
　The only thing that can be done is whether or not a rock can be scraped...but for ordinary humans and beasts, the skin can't be harder than a rock, and unfortunately the sprinkled ice arrows will inflict considerable damage on those who are unarmed or leather armoured.

"Well, it was a little unexpected," I can't believe you didn't notice this much."
"Glu".

　Ray's words make Seto cry regretfully.
　As if to comfort Seto, Ray pats his head...

"Well, this happens once in a while, so don't worry. I'm going downstairs, and Seto should continue to attack the enemy from above. Don't get involved in my attack as much as possible."
"Grull!"

　Leaving a spirited voice on the spot, Ray leaps off Seto's back.
　Close to the ground within the range of the firebrace, the distance is less than 10 meters, and if you use Slapnil shoes that can walk through the air during the fall, they will fall to the ground without danger.

"It's crimson, crimson is here!"
"Run away, run away!"
"Dumb, no! I'll kill you all at once while you haven't done any damage yet!"
"Don't be silly! It's crimson!? Fudo must have been on his way to intercept him, but he's here..."
"Still! There's a fierce battle going on in the front now. Even if we have the upper hand, crimson will blow you up behind us. I'll easily wipe out such an advantage!"

　Listening to the screams coming from everywhere, Ray immediately invokes Emperor Flame's red armor.
　The magic power, compressed enough to be visualized, turns crimson to the same name as Ray, the user.
　At the same time, the ambient temperature rises rapidly, even though Ray is not doing anything yet.
　Originally, it was autumn... it was almost winter, and the temperature was almost as cold.
　But as Ray uses Emperor Flame's red armor, the surrounding temperature rises rapidly.
　15°C, 20°C, 25°C ...and it's over 30 degrees Celsius.
　The heat covers the surrounding area like midsummer, but the temperature continues to rise even further stopping.
　We couldn't accurately measure the temperature, but for the soldiers, it's true that the temperature around us has reached as high as midsummer... or more.

"Well... shall we go?"

　The rest of Emperor Flame's Red Armour injects the bewildering magic... the next moment Ray kicks the ground into the enemy and heads behind the punitive force.

"Hey, hey! Don't come, don't come!"

　The soldier at Ray's first target screams at Ray as he approaches him.
　But Ray doesn't seem to listen to such an opponent, and runs into the soldier wearing the magic of the crimson armour of the Flame Emperor.
　and the moment the soldier's body touched his magical powers...

`Oh, oh, oh,

　Feeling intense pain from where he touched the magic, he screamed without a trace.
　The blown-off soldier is burnt out of touch with the crimson magic and only stops moving when he hits his ally.
　Of course, Ray's movements cannot be stopped by that alone, and Ray, who is still wearing the flaming Emperor's red armor, pushes into the soldiers.
　Then the enemy who touches Ray is flown away burning everywhere he touches.
　Previously, Ray used to run into the enemy's camp using the armor of the hegemony, but now he is a little different.
　The flaming emperor's red armour, which can be called the superior compatibility of the hegemony's armour, even burned the person who touched it.
　On top of that, the damage to the enemy will be greatly increased because it blows away like when using the armor of the hegemony.

"Oh my gosh! What is it? It's burned just by touching him!"
"Run... Run! Run! Run! Run! Run away!"
"Stupid, don't run away! If we collapse here, we'll have crimson from behind, and Mercurio from the front!"
"Well, what are you going to do, then? I have to run away."Here it is!"

　Soldiers who see Ray ramming in shout frantically.
　Some told me to run away and others to intercept.
　In this case, however, the former was probably right.
　Ray now wears the Emperor's red armor, which burns down the enemy just by touching it... but still burns down the place he touches.Originally, the rear guard of the punitive force, which had been confirmed to be safe to some extent, became a crucible for shouting.
　Under such circumstances, it is natural that the soldiers fighting in the front line will not be able to fight calmly.

"What is it? It's noisy in the back... crimson!"
"No way! No crimson can break through the ranks of these men! He must have been fighting immovable a little while ago! If he escapes, there is a great deal of wear and tear. Besides, it is impossible for Fudo to lose!"

　One of the soldiers fighting at the front screams at once.
　This soldier was fighting head-on against Mercurio's army at the front, just as he saw Ray flying through the air in Seto.
　That's why I wondered if this was the work of crimson, but I immediately deny my idea.
　... well, maybe he knew it in his heart. This is the work of crimson.
　But I could never admit it because I felt it would be true if I admitted it.
　Still, in my mind alone, I thought it might have already happened. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..

"Phew!"

　I couldn't react to the dagger flying from the front.
　When he tries to pull out the short spear stuck in his throat, he is exhausted and the light of life goes out.

"Oh! How dare you do it!"

　I cannot forgive the death of my comrades... even if it is the death of my own carelessness, and the soldier, with his long sword in his hand, runs again towards the front line of the Mercurio army.





"... that's troublesome,"

　Kabazeed mutters in the headquarters behind the punitive force.
　I could see the rear of the camp being trampled down as I wanted from a cool glance.
　Ray, wearing red magic, blows off the person he touches while burning, breaks the bones of his limbs and even the bones of his neck in the case of an unlucky soldier, and heads for the front line while raking through the troops of the punitive force.
　No, the unlucky one is the one who is burnt to death.
　My limbs were broken and my body burned... I'm still alive, though I'm in such a state. the undying
　The way they trample down the army as much as they want while mass-producing such soldiers, even though they usually remain calm, could not help frowning uncomfortably.

"It's probably crimson," ...the elder brother of Kabazid. Red crimson is certainly a nuisance, but so is the Gryphon who attacks us from the sky. No, crimson can't be seen in a distant place in the battlefield, but the Gryphon can be seen anywhere in the battlefield as it flies."
"And it's the viciousness of flying and spewing firebraces out of the air. Can't you do anything about it, Shurus?"
"Don't be silly," You know we don't have enough strength, do you? We don't have enough strength to manage the Gryphon in such a situation. What's wrong with the noise? The crimson moving around freely means the noise has lost... but I can't believe it."

　The nobles around him nod to Schles' words that…
　Noise represents strength to those in the Westian Empire.
　Nevertheless, it was hard to believe that the noise had been defeated.

"It's certainly not a credible story, but it's also true that noise isn't fighting crimson anymore. That being the case, isn't it meaningless to say that I can't believe I lost here?"
"It may be true, but what are you going to do? Fortunately, crimson is not going to focus on attacking the rear camp now, and he's not going to touch the headquarters, but if you look at me, he's not going to stop me?"

　Schulz's question was plausible.
　As long as there is no one who can stop Ray at the moment, it is almost impossible to escape if this happens.
　But... Kabajid, who is also the highest-ranking figure with Shurus, opens his mouth with his usual smile.

"Well, if that were to happen, I and Schles might lose their lives, let alone the other nobles here."
"... brother, how can you look so unconcerned? You tried your last fight on this Brissa Plain because you were sure you could block crimson, but how can you be so calm when it's moving around freely?"

　Schulz screams loudly, perhaps because he's getting emotional.
　Kabazid opens his mouth with a smile on his face.

"Well, indeed, I have no plan to seal crimson any more. But that's only for now, isn't it? Then wouldn't it be better for Schles to surrender quietly and prepare for a later date?"
"What... what are you talking about, brother! Surrender!? Do you think Mercurio will tolerate that?"
"You don't want to forgive me, and you don't want to forgive me." But what if I had to forgive you?"

　Even though he's my brother, I don't know what the person in front of me is saying.
　Schles gazes at Kabazide with that in mind, but he looks at one of the nobles nearby.

"I'm sorry, but can I ask you to do that? I don't think that's a problem if I'm the only one."
"... I understand,"

　The nobleman nods to Kabazid's words with a sad expression on his face.
　Kabazeed opens his mouth with the same smile.

"Now, this is the last battle of the civil war. Let's not give up until the end."

　Shurus felt very uncomfortable with the coverages, which did not show anything like that, even though their lives were at stake.
