Chapter 415 What kind of devilish metaphor is this?
Half an hour later, Aize and Akinagisa left the apartment together and boarded the monorail.

As the two left the apartment, faint screams could still be heard coming from room 704, indicating that the person was likely to be late for their first class that morning.

And the first class this morning was Nangong Nayue's English class...

"...I will collect your body, Ancient City."

Aize mourned for his unfortunate classmate and neighbor, and then resolutely embarked on his studies with Akina Gisa.

Fortunately, it wasn't as hot as yesterday. Although it was still around 30℃, it was a bit cool in the morning, perhaps because of the heavy rain yesterday.

Walking on the gentle slope in front of the academy, bathed in the cool breeze, with the chattering of cute girls in my ears... I have to say, such a scene is quite pleasant.

However, the easy life that Aize was determined to enjoy ultimately didn't last long.

"Ok?"

For a moment, Aize's steps suddenly stopped, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Ai-kun? What's wrong?" Akinagi stopped and looked at Aize, surprised. "You look like Yase-chika, who was out shopping with a stomachache and couldn't find a public restroom."

...What kind of devil's metaphor is this?
By the way, Motoki Yase, what exactly did you do in front of Nagisa Akatsuki?

Aize's eyes twitched slightly, and then he shook his head at Xiaonagisa.

"It's okay, let's go to school."

Hearing this, Akinagisa was still a little confused, but she didn't think much of it and continued chattering as she walked towards the school.

Just like yesterday, the two parted ways after entering the school, one heading to the high school campus and the other to the junior high school campus.

However, unlike Akinagisa, who went directly into the junior high school building, Aize stopped again halfway through.

suddenly--

"boom!"

The stone slabs on the ground shattered.

A silver arrow suddenly shot through the air and struck the spot where Azer was standing, piercing through the floor.

Azer stepped back a second before the arrow appeared, dodging the incoming arrow and causing it to miss.

Just as Aize dodged the arrows, several more arrows suddenly shot out from the top of a building in the distance.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"...

With a series of whooshing sounds, silver arrows, like bullets, pierced the sky and shot towards Aize.

The arrows, some fast, some slow, some forward, some backward, carried fluctuations of spiritual energy, subtly enveloping Aize's surroundings and blocking all his escape routes.

"This archery skill..."

Aize was slightly taken aback, feeling that the scene before him looked somewhat familiar.

Not only did the archery technique seem familiar, but even the spiritual energy fluctuations carried by the arrows felt familiar.

Based on this familiar feeling, Aize was almost immediately certain that these arrows were cursed with a curse-like spell. Once they came into contact with a human body, even the strongest person would fall seriously ill.

"There's even a curse..."

Aize had a pretty good idea of ​​who the attackers were.

However, that's something to deal with later; let's deal with this wave of attacks first.

"Binding Spell No. 39: Round Gate Fan".

Aize unleashed his binding spell, creating a circular spirit shield in front of him.

“Ding ding ding ding ding ding…!”

The incoming silver arrows collided with the circular spirit shield one by one and were deflected by the protective shield.

However, these deflected arrows began to deform upon contact with the ground.

They first melted rapidly, then began to change shape, like curtains that had lost their hooks, stretching out flexibly after turning into thin metal sheets, gradually changing form, expanding and bending into sharp-angled metal sheets, and finally turning into origami-like steel plate artworks, becoming complex-shaped beasts.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

The steel beasts roared, their wild appearance making them seem truly alive. However, they were devoid of any life force, possessing only spiritual energy, which told others that they were still inanimate objects.

There is only one possibility that an inanimate object can behave as if it has come to life.

That is, there is someone controlling them behind the scenes.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

At that moment, the controlled steel beast roared and pounced on Azer, surrounding him completely.

Aize didn't move; instead, he looked in the direction from which the arrow had first come.

The surrounding steel beasts immediately launched a merciless attack, about to engulf Aize's figure.

Just as the steel beasts were about to bite Aize, a group of dark figures suddenly flew in from the horizon. "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"...

With a series of dull thuds, the steel beasts that pounced on Aize were all knocked away.

The creatures that knocked these enormous steel beasts away were actually a flock of tiny birds, each no bigger than a palm.

"Choo Choo Choo--"

Flocks of birds, emitting angry cries, actually flapped their wings and flew towards the steel beasts.

The scene of legions of steel beasts and flocks of birds fighting fiercely suddenly appeared in this space where no one had appeared or passed by since.

It was a surreal scene.

Although the steel beasts formed from the silver arrows were not powerful monsters, they were enormous and made entirely of steel. Logically, they should be more threatening than large carnivorous creatures. A flock of birds the size of a palm would be too small to even fill their teeth.

Despite being constantly struck by flocks of birds flying in mid-air, these steel beasts were all easily knocked away like rubber balls.

The birds fly very fast and are extremely agile. Their seemingly tiny bodies somehow contain astonishing power, easily knocking away steel beasts weighing hundreds of kilograms.

Thus, a group of steel beasts, more frightening than real wild animals, were actually ravaged by a flock of birds no bigger than the palm of a hand. They were either knocked away or their entire bodies were pierced directly by the birds that shot at them like arrows, creating a strong sense of contrast.

But in reality, all of this is perfectly natural.

Strengthened by the power of the Demon King, these birds have been transformed into demons. Despite their small size, they possess astonishing power hidden within their tiny bodies, making them far stronger than those ferocious beasts.

Although they are just a group of ordinary birds, after being enhanced by divine power, even if they have not reached the level of divine beasts, they are still at the level of divine messengers, and will never be inferior to the monkey divine messengers driven by the disobedient Son Goku in Nikko City.

Even great knights like Erica and Liliana wouldn't have an easy time dealing with those monkey messengers.

If Erica and Liliana's combat power is ten, then these divine messengers are four or five, already possessing half the power of a great knight.

Such a divine messenger is definitely not just a tool to be used as an informant.

At the very least, in this world, ordinary magical beasts are no match for them, and ordinary magic users might not even be able to defeat a bird. They are beings that can make people question their existence and cause their mentality to collapse.

In this way, even though those steel beasts are more difficult to deal with than ordinary large beasts, they are just a group of relatively durable steel plates to the demonic bird with the power of a divine messenger.

"Shh!"

While his demonic birds were wreaking havoc on the steel beast horde, Aize also used Instant Step to suddenly disappear from the spot.

When he reappeared, he was already on the roof of a building.

Then, almost the instant he appeared, a figure lunged at him.

"laugh!"

The silver light suddenly fell, slashing towards Aize's shoulder and easily tearing the air apart.

"Qiang!"

The next second, the silver slash was deflected.

Amidst the exploding sparks, Aize, seemingly out of nowhere, wielded a silver dagger and easily deflected the incoming slash.

"whispering sound……!"

The attackers made an extremely loud, almost obnoxious, clicking sound, displaying an extremely hostile attitude.

She distanced herself from Aize, leaping seven or eight meters away to face him from afar.

Only then did Aize get a clear look at the attacker's appearance.

She is nearly 170 centimeters tall, looks to be around 15 or 16 years old, has a chestnut-colored side ponytail and fair skin, and her delicate face and slender figure are quite attractive, making her stand out.

The person who caught Aize's eye was a strikingly beautiful young girl.

Upon seeing the other person, Aize finally confirmed that his guess was correct.

"It really was you, you perverted woman."

Without a second thought, Aize blurted out the title.

That sentence successfully blew the other party away.

"Who's the perverted woman? You filthy man!" the girl shouted angrily. "I'm Sayaka, Kirasaka Sayaka! Call me Lady Sayaka, you lewd man who hangs out at an all-girls school!"

"Who enrolled in an all-girls school?" Aize immediately retorted, "I've said it countless times, it was the Three Saints who threw me into the High God's Gate, I didn't sneak in on my own!"

"Hmph, do you think this can cover up your evil intentions of infiltrating an all-girls school?" Saya Kirasaka's attitude was undeniably vicious, as if she were facing a long-time nemesis and sworn enemy. She glared fiercely at Aize and gritted her teeth, saying, "Now that you've graduated and started going on missions, you're still hanging around a middle school girl, going in and out with her. You really are the root of all evil!"

"If I'm the root of all evil, then you're the suicide truck, right?" Aize said with a forced smile, arms crossed. "I heard you won't even answer your male boss's calls, and all you do all day is keep calling out 'Setsuna Setsuna,' your sirens are louder than those of ambulances and fire trucks, aren't they?"

"She's clearly a woman, and a senior at that, yet she's always thinking about her junior..."

"You still say you're not a perverted woman?"

Aize's words made Sayako Kirasaka's chest heave with anger.

The atmosphere between the two was extremely tense, like that of mortal enemies.
