The ones who attacked the Orcs were Setsuka and Kaede. When they came out of the building to look for Kohana, they saw several monsters intending to destroy the barrier. So both of them reflexively used their abilities and attacked the Orcs.
"That is senior Fuyushima!"
"Senior Kobayashi is also coming with her!"
"As expected of the president and treasurer of the student council!"
"They are strong!"
"With them here, we can counterattack the monsters!"
The students cheered when they saw Setsuka and Kaede. The presence of the two could strengthen their defenses and reduce the burden on the other students. Moreover, the fighting spirit of the boys was fired up because Setsuka and Kaede appeared in maid uniforms.
"Fortunately, you two came at the right time. Please help me fight the monsters..." Kirika wanted to ask Setsuka to help her against the wyverns and harpies attacking from the sky, but the other party interrupted her words.
"I'm sorry, but I can't help you right now because I must find my little sister." Setsuka said to Kirika and the other students. Then she shifted her eyes to Kaede. Her best friend nodded because she understood what Setsuka meant.
"I'm sorry! We'll be back as soon as we find Setsuka's little sister!" Kaede said apologetically, and the two left the place in a rush.
Setsuka and Kaede killed low-level monsters along their way. They will feel guilty if they leave the place without doing anything. Setsuka and Kaede wanted to reduce the number of monsters there so the students wouldn't be too burdened.
"Wait a minute!" Kirika tried to stop them, but they didn't hear her words. She could listen to the students' screams of disappointment and their fighting spirit dropping after Setsuka and Kaede left the place.
On the other hand, Satoru was surprised when he heard Setsuka wanted to find her little sister. If what she said was true, then Kohana was in the Suisei High School area, and she was in danger.
Satoru could understand Setsuka's actions. He had met Kohana several times and knew Setsuka loved her very much. Because of that, Setsuka would choose to find her little sister first instead of helping them fight monsters. After all, Kohana was still a child and couldn't protect herself from monsters, not even goblins.
"Focus on your opponent, and don't get distracted by this problem! I will deal with the fourth and fifth-level monsters and leave the rest to you! You must burn your fighting spirit! Otherwise, you won't be able to protect your school!" Kirika shouted at the students to wake them up from their disappointment. It worked, and the students regained their fighting spirit.
The battle between Kirika and the others against the monsters continued. Luckily, the teachers cared for the Cactus Golem and most Wyverns. If they hadn't fought the high-level monsters, Kirika, and the others might have been killed, and the school building behind them would have been destroyed. Unfortunately, they were still too overwhelmed to fight against that many monsters.
Kirika ordered the corpse of three Wyverns and two Orcs to block the monsters from approaching the school building. But some wyverns kept shooting fireballs at her, making it hard for her to control the monster's corpse since she had to dodge their attacks.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Wyverns kept shooting fireballs until Kirika drifted away from her position and lost control of the monster corpses. After that, the harpies shot at top speed toward the school building, intending to destroy the barrier.
"Not good! Those monsters deliberately attack me to keep me away from the school building!" Kirika's face darkened after she realized the monster's plan. She quickly regained control of the Wyvern and Orc corpses, but it was too late.
The harpies were only a few meters away from the school building, and the barrier would break if they moved simultaneously because the crushing power of their attacks was over the orcs.
Kirika used one of the wyverns under her control to stop them, but her efforts were in vain. The Harpies opened their mouths wide, ready to shoot the ultrasonic waves. But before the monsters could unleash their attacks, their heads exploded one after another.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"What!?" Kirika was shocked when she saw that. She didn't know what had happened, but she was sure someone was secretly attacking the monster. Kirika looked around and found that Satoru and the others were focused on fighting the monsters. So they didn't pay any attention to it; only Kirika saw it.
Not long after, Kirika saw a glimpse of a shadow passing by that place. It moved at a terrifying speed and disappeared instantly. Even though it looked blurry, Kirika could recognize it.
"He is... Tenku Okuihara?" Kirika recognized Tenku's face even though she had only glimpsed it. Because her Phantasmal Object ability was similar to spiritual power, it made her senses extremely sharp.
"Where does he want to go in this chaotic situation, and what does he want to do? Is he after Setsuka Fuyushima? But they went in different directions." Kirika was curious about what Tenku wanted to do. She might discover his identity and secret if she followed him.
The appearance of monsters at Suisei High School might have something to do with Tenku. Unfortunately, Kirika couldn't leave that place. If she did, their defenses would be broken, and the monsters would enter the school building.
"If only someone could temporarily replace my position here." Kirika gritted her teeth and looked around her. Then her eyes stopped on Akihiko, who was busy fighting the harpies. Kirika raised the corners of her lips slightly after thinking of a plan.
Kirika approached Akihiko while fighting the monsters that got in her way. Akihiko was happy because he noticed that the girl deliberately came to him. Once they were close enough, Kirika said to him in a low voice.
"Can you help me, Akihiko?" Kirika smiled sweetly and asked.
"What's that? Please tell me! I would do anything for you even if I have to go through hell!" Akihiko said excitedly and swung his Phantasmal object at one of the Orcs nearby.
"That's good! Then, please replace me to protect this building for a while! I have to go to check something important. I will return your favor one day!" Kirika said and quickly ran in the direction Tenku left without waiting for Akihiko's answer.
"Wait a minute, Kirika!" Akihiko tries to chase Kirika, but dozens of orcs suddenly appear before him and block him.
"You are annoying!" Akihiko shouted angrily and brandished his cudgel.
"Phantasmal Release..."
BLOODY PROJECTION
Akihiko's Phantasmal Object released a red liquid like blood. It condensed and formed tens of huge thorns. Afterward, Akihiko swung his cudgel at the monsters, and the bloody thorns rained down on them.
Roaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Roaaaaaaaaaarr!
Most of the orcs died, and the rest were seriously injured. Akihiko intended to chase Kirika, but the girl's figure had disappeared.
"Damn!" Akihiko roared and showered the other monsters with bloody thorns.
Satoru and the other students were amazed when they saw Akihiko's strength. They didn't know where Kirika had gone, but they heard that the girl had something important to do.
The students were sure that it must be related to the appearance of the monsters. If that was the case, Satoru and the others couldn't complain since that was Kirika's right. The girl might be able to help them out of that situation.
At the same time, Benjiro's battle against the seven minotaurs was fierce. He almost killed one of them, but another minotaur suddenly attacked him. At first, he fought one on one against the Minotaur. But as time passed, Benjiro had to fight three minotaurs. Even though he didn't lose, he couldn't suppress those monsters either.
"I can't go on like this! Otherwise, the environmental damage will be enormous, and the number of casualties will be horrific! " Benjiro said seriously. He gathered genesis power in his saber and opened his mouth.
"Phantasmal Release..."
MIGHTY PHYSIQUE
Benjiro's Phantasmal Object released a bright light and enveloped him. His body slightly enlarged to just over two meters, and he became even more muscular. After that, his skin was covered by a thin membrane of light.
"Alright. Now is the time for me to get rid of the minotaurs individually. I need to clear things up here to help the others." Benjiro narrowed his eyes at one of the minotaurs that dashed at him and made the ground tremble. Even though the monster had an enormous body size and relied on overwhelming brute strength to fight, its speed couldn't be underestimated.
"Then you will be my first target." Benjiro said and slashed his saber at the monster. The Minotaur responded to his opponent's attack with his ax, and their two weapons met.
Booooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmm!
Moooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Their weapons clashed, and the impact of the attack from Benjiro blew away the Minotaur several meters. The monster was shocked because he felt that his opponent's strength had increased many times and far exceeded his.
Moooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
The other Minotaurs sensed the danger from Benjiro, and they attacked him simultaneously.
Benjiro frowned when he saw that. Even though his physical strength had increased drastically, he couldn't fight seven monsters simultaneously. Because of that, Benjiro intended to take down the minotaurs individually. But he didn't expect the monsters to attack him together because they saw him as a threat after he managed to repel one of them.
The three minotaurs swung their axes at him, and Benjiro could only block them head-on as the other monsters closed off his escape routes.
Benjiro gripped his saber tightly and compressed his genesis power into the blade. After that, he slashed it in the direction of the incoming attack.
Booooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmm!
Their attacks collided, creating a massive shockwave that blew away everything around them. Benjiro and the three minotaurs were both knocked back by the impact.
Mooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
The other four minotaurs moved and dealt another blow to him. They had no intention of giving Benjiro a chance to breathe. The monsters wanted to kill him immediately because they thought he was dangerous.
"This is bad!" Benjiro's face changed drastically when he saw the four minotaurs attack him. He could fight equally against the three monsters. But he would be the one to get exhausted first if the battle was to drag on for a long time.
Benjiro would lose if he had to fight the four minotaurs. Moreover, their size was slightly larger than the previous three, and their physical strength was much more robust. Benjiro gritted his teeth and injected much genesis power into his Phantasmal Object. Then he swung it at the four minotaurs.
Slash!
Boooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
Benjiro lost in the clash against the four minotaurs. He was blown away dozens of meters and vomited blood.
Spurt!
