Chapter 154 Passionate
――Above ground.
In the central district of Necronia City.
Fiona led the way, with the members of the Wooden Sword Way clan splitting into several groups and moving out.
This was to minimize the damage caused by the monsters that had spilled out from the Seal Temple over a wide area.
With Fiona at the center, several parties headed towards the Seal Temple, while other skilled parties from the ≪Iron Wall Alliance≫≫ and other clans went to the mansions of the [Four Great Families of the Seals], and the remaining members dispersed throughout the city to deal with the monsters――such was the division of labor.
In various parts of the central district, their battles began――.
"――Aaaaahhhhhh!"
"Run away! Run away!!"
"Come on, hurry up!! Get out of the way!!"
"No, no, no!!"
Like a small stream flowing into a large river, the evacuees naturally sought to move as quickly as possible, taking the shortest route through the main streets to the outskirts of the city. However, the streets were even more congested than a festival, with the crowds of people rushing to escape, and the evacuation was progressing slowly.
In their desperation to escape, people pushed those in front of them, or tried to trip up others to save themselves. Such incidents occurred everywhere, causing the evacuation to fall further behind.
A vicious cycle of panic was born in that place.
And soon, an event that was like pouring oil on the fire occurred.
"Gyaaa! Gyaaahhh!!"
"Geggeggeg!!"
The low-ranking monsters, led by goblins, that had escaped from the Seal Temple first, attacked the rear of the fleeing crowd.
They were grabbed from behind, tripped, bitten, hit with a club, and attacked by other monsters.
"No wayyyy!? Stop it already!!"
"Someone! Help!!"
Even though they were just low-ranking monsters, they were still monsters. Most of the civilians who didn't have combat Jobs couldn't defend themselves. The rear of the crowd collapsed in an instant, and the monsters pushed forward, attacking new victims.
The civilians' panic reached its peak.
At that moment――,
"Gehh!?"
"Gahh!?"
"Gugyahh!!"
The goblins that were attacking the civilians, the bat-like monsters flying above, and other miscellaneous monsters were all suddenly blown away as if struck by something, and then quietly dissipated into magical energy.
"W-what just...?"
"Just now, from the sky...?"
The civilians who had narrowly escaped with their lives looked up at the sky in a daze.
It wasn't just a one-time thing. Even now, countless attacks like a meteor shower were pouring down from the sky, targeting the monsters that were still approaching from behind.
"Wo-wow...!!"
"The monsters are decreasing one by one!!"
Each individual attack was nothing special, just basic magic.
Fire-attribute magic――[Fire Bullet]
Wind-attribute magic――[Wind Bullet]
The fire and wind bullets rained down nonstop, driving away the monsters that were attacking the civilians.
The power to take down a monster with a single hit, combined with the rapid firing speed that didn't let up. Both were at an extremely high level, but what was truly astonishing was the precision shooting.
In the midst of the crowd, goblins and bats, small monsters, were being precisely shot down without harming the citizens.
The ones who achieved this incredible feat were――floating in the air.
"Everyone!! As you can see, we will take care of the monsters! So please don't worry, stay calm, and evacuate safely!!"
The woman's voice, amplified by Wind Magic, echoed throughout the main street.
There were 6 women, their robes fluttering in the wind, standing there.
Each held a long staff diagonally towards the ground with their right hand, balancing on both feet, and hovering in mid-air. Flames and wind were being shot out from the bottom of their staves, and it seemed that they were using the reaction to float in the air.
But.
"Flight magic...!!"
"Unbelievable, amazing!!"
Using magic to fly was an extremely difficult technique. Especially to remain stationary in mid-air, it required even more advanced skills than just flying. Those who knew this couldn't help but stare at the women floating in the air, forgetting about the situation.
"Who are they...?!"
Someone asked.
"I know! They're the Adventurer Party ≪Flames of Dominance≫!!"
Someone answered.
"≪Flames of Dominance≫...?"
They were perplexed. What a ridiculously cool party name.
"≪Flames of Dominance≫...!!"
And then they understood. What a reliable party name.
"Woohoo!! ≪Flames of Dominance≫!!"
And then, cheers erupted. Towards their saviors.
The party affiliated with ≪Wooden Sword Way≫, ≪Flames of Dominance≫, has descended.
Despite their ridiculous party name, the 6-member party consisting of beautiful women was unleashing a barrage of magic bullets from their staffs, held in their left hands, while riding on long staves slanted to the side.
With precise shooting that didn't let up, they controlled their flying magic.
These women, who once excelled at overwhelming their enemies with massive firepower, combining fire and wind magic, were now gone.
After experiencing countless battles, making wooden swords with magic every day for months, being forced to use a crappy magical energy-conducting Treant staff, and fighting for their lives against naked demons, they had achieved tremendous growth.
They had transformed from a party that relied on brute force to a group of super-skilled magicians.
"Clairey! Thanks!!"
"Thanks for the help!!"
"Amazing, ≪Flames of Dominance≫!!"
"Keep it up!!"
The citizens below them, walking down the main street, were raising their voices in gratitude as they evacuated.
Without letting their guard down, they continued to precisely shoot down monster after monster, and Party Leader Claire couldn't help but flash a sly smile.
"Hehe, it's not bad to help people every now and then, right? I can feel several hot gazes on me!!"
It wasn't just satisfactory. It was truly not just satisfactory.
Claire puffed out her chest with pride.
The party members also raised their voices in agreement.
"Now we're also part of the famous crowd!"
"I mean, because of people like Fiona and Glen, and the whole maidens Squad, our reputation wasn't that great, right?"
"We might even get a ton of fans now!"
While chatting excitedly, the number of bullets fired from their short staffs didn't decrease at all.
For them, this wasn't still a tough fight.
Despite that, the crowd sent them passionate gazes of gratitude and respect, along with various other enthusiastic looks.
"(White... white... pure white!!)"
"(!? ...Water droplets, huh. As expected...!!)"
"(Is that... no way... black lace, you say?!)."
"(!? !? !? Red... passionate red... I-i-it's a T-back, after all!!)."
"Hey, Clairey and the others, your underwear is showing!"
"Shh! Be quiet!"
On this day, many citizens who were saved by ≪Flames of Dominance≫ became their fans. Unintentionally, the words spoken by one of the members became a reality.
Moreover, the reason why they attracted the passionate gazes of the men among the evacuees on the main street was unclear, but it might have something to do with the fact that their robes had skirts underneath.
However, starting from this day, Claire would come to be known by the nickname "Passionate"....
