You Need Me

(Thank you for reading at bayabuscotranslation.com)

Running westward from the circular plaza, Meltera could not suppress the looseness in her cheeks.

“Watch closely, Leon! I will perform brilliantly just as you expect! Then—” (Meltera)

‘Well done, Meltera. Thanks to you, the damage on the west side is zero.’ (Leon)

‘Hmph, at this level, it’s a piece of cake for me!’ (Meltera)

‘As expected. You really are the best comrade. Honestly, I wonder why I didn’t make you a comrade back then.’ (Leon)

“Of course, of course! After all, you need me!” (Meltera)

Meltera imagined Leon praising her unreservedly and let out a creepy laugh. Even while indulging in such delusions, she instantly killed the attacking Demons with her specialty, earth magic. Soon she arrived at an area where many Demons writhed. There, the person commanding the knights was a small woman who looked like a child.

“Injured, please retreat to my position! Healing Light! Area Heal!” (Shia)

Despite struggling against the horde of Demons, the knights were able to maintain their formation firmly, apparently thanks to the healing magic she used. However, since she had been casting repeatedly, sweat dripped from her cute face, and she could not hide her fatigue. Her name was Shia. Like Mona, she was one of the Three Saintess.

“If this continues, it won’t last much longer… Moreover, the Saintess are absent in the east and south… In this situation at my position, maintaining the second barrier is only a matter of time…” (Shia)

Desperately handling both command and healing, she frowned at the seriousness of the situation. At that moment, Meltera appeared.

“Hehehe! You seem to be struggling! Now that I have come to assist, I am worth a hundred men, no, a thousand men!” (Meltera)

The eyes of Saintess Shia and Meltera met. At the same time, each thought–…

(What is this ridiculously arrogant child elf…?) (Shia)

(Hmm? Could this be the so-called Saintess? She’s quite tiny.) (Meltera)

Small, they thought. Both were equally small, however.

“D-danger! Get inside the barrier quickly!” (Shia)

“No need to worry! Demons are no match for me!” (Meltera)

Meltera said proudly.

Perhaps realizing she had been insulted, several Demons targeted her and charged. Everyone predicted the miserable fate awaiting the elf next, but in the next moment, several figures suddenly stood in front of her to protect her.

“Golem…?” (Knight 1)

“Did that elf create them?” (Knight 2)

“That many in an instant!?” (Knight 3)

They were golems made simply of earth and stone, created by Meltera on the spot, about the size of an adult man. There were more than ten of them.

“They are not just ordinary golems.” (Meltera)

The golems fearlessly faced the advancing Demons. They charged forward without flinching even after being attacked, then tackled the Demons.

*Bang! Bang! Bang!*

Explosions sounded here and there.

The golems that embraced the Demons exploded one after another.

“Wha…?” (Knights)

Underneath the crumbling golems, the Demons were completely dead.

“Hehehe, these are my self-destructing golems (improved)! I control them to explode inward, so there’s no need to worry about damage to the surroundings!” (Meltera)

Originally, these were dangerous golems that scattered stone fragments around when exploding, but the other day when she confidently showed them to Leon, he scolded her, saying, “What a dangerous thing you’re makin.g”

So, she had worked hard to update them. As a result, the lethality increased.

“Self-destructing golems…?” (Knight 1)

“Is that really possible…?” (Knight 2)

“I heard elves are good at magic, but…” (Knight 3)

The knights were astonished. Encouraged by their reaction, Meltera grew even more arrogant.

“This is possible because I am by far the greatest genius among elves! Hahaha!” (Meltera)

“…You really say that yourself?” (Shia)

The somewhat annoying savior irritated Saintess Shia, but…

“Anyway, now that the Demons are flustered, this is our chance!” (Shia)

“Yeahhhh!” (Knights)

Inspired by her voice, the knights shouted battle cries.

“Demons like these are no match for me alone… Well, at least don’t get in my way.” (Meltera)

The golems, repeatedly created, attacked the Demons as fearless suicide troops. Even the Demons were terrified of this and desperately fought back with magic to destroy the golems before they could get close. However, behind them, the knights exposed them to a fierce counterattack. The tide of battle had completely turned, and their morale was high. If it continued like this, humans would win this area.

Just at that moment…

*Bari bari bari bari bari!!*

“—!?” (Everyone)

A terrible rain of lightning struck Meltera’s golems. When the flashes faded, every golem was destroyed. The stunned knights’ gazes turned to a single Demon. Its appearance was simple and humanoid. However, the mana it held was obviously orders of magnitude above the lower Demons present until then.

“Hoho, it seems a somewhat challenging opponent has appeared.” (Meltera)

Meltera grinned slyly.
