Orion unleashes a lightning strike.
“Huh!? You dodged that!?”
However, Fana avoided it at the last minute.
“I never thought there would be someone who could avoid lightning…… But you can’t keep avoiding it over and over again!”
Orion was about to hit her with a series of lightning strikes, but at that moment, his body was blown away as if he had been hit by something.
“~~~~!?”
“P-Prince Orion! For some reason, our Hero-sama has been blown backwards! And with such impact…… Uh-! Don’t tell me, will our hero fall out of the ring like this!?”
Screech.
Orion somehow managed to hold on at the edge of the ring, and the crowd breathed a sigh of relief.
“If yours is a ranged attack, so is mine.”
Just now, it was a wind barrage unleashed by Fana. Since it was air, it was invisible to the naked eye, and if you were hit by it, you’d be blown away and could fall out of the ring, like now.
After that, it was a trade of lightning and wind barrage. Fana dodges the lightning strike and fires her own wind barrage, and Orion dodges her attack while firing a lightning strike.
However, it’s Orion who is at disadvantage. Once he took even one direct hit, he would be blown straight out of the ring.
“W-who would have predicted that His Royal Highness Orion-sama, who has won the tournament four times in a row, would struggle this much? If he loses like this, it will be the biggest upset in the tournament’s history!”
While the spectators watched with bated breath as the match unfolded, I was the first to notice something unusual.
“……What’s this magical surge of power?”
Meltera also noticed it.
“It’s coming from the ring! This can’t be….…”
It happened at the next moment.
Right now, an immense amount of magical power rose from the ring where Fana and Orion were fighting and then a jet-black vortex appeared.
“A monster vortex!?”
In my previous life, I had one of the taboo item called “Monster Vortex”.
I had discovered and destroyed that thing in the Underwater Temple the other day, so why was it here again…?
“Wait! Isn’t that the one that was in the sea the other day? What more, it’s much bigger than that!?”
Anje, who was watching the game from the airship with us, blurted out loud. As she had said, it’s a monster vortex that is far bigger than the one that was raging in the bottom of the sea.
Not content with covering the entire ring, the vortex now reached just in front of the spectator seats.
“The bigger it is, the more vicious monsters it spews out…… this is a pretty bad situation.”
As I said so, the first few were already springing up from the vortex. All of them are large monsters, and you can tell that they are highly dangerous monsters just by looking at them.
Naturally, there was a great panic in the arena.
“W-what on earth is going on here?! A strange and eerie vortex suddenly emerged and then monsters appeared from it…!”
Needless to say, the monsters first target are Fana and Orion, who were in the ring.
“Gruaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!”
“Kuu…… What is this black vortex!? And these monsters….…”
“Mm. It’s a vortex that creates monsters.”
“Do you know about this vortex!?”
While slaying down the monsters, the two of them have such an exchange.
“Gah!?”
“Aaah! Prince Orion was blown away by a monster’s lunge! On the other hand, Fana-shi is also defending against the monsters that are approaching one after another! If even these two are having a hard time, these are clearly not ordinary monsters…! And on top of that, they keep appearing one after the other like gnats…!”
In addition to the fact that the enemies are all violent monsters, there must be fatigue from the match, and both Fana and Orion are overwhelmed.
If it continues like this, they will be crushed by the horde of monsters.
“Anje-oneechan and Lill, please help them right away. I’ll leave this to you guys.”
“Got it.”
“Wait! What do you mean? What about you!?”
“Me and Meltera are going to crush the other guys.”
“……Other guys?”
“Look.”
I pointed towards the city.
There too was a “Monster Vortex” as large as the one that appeared in the arena.
