46. Erasing Goddess' blessings, Ei enters the Battlefield

After Hibiki and the remaining Human forces recovered and regroup, a Demon General with a huge body with four arms shows up in front of them.

Unlike the Tactician who will strike her enemies while they're down, Io likes to face his enemies head on so he waits as the two heroes argue about their plan to pin down Io with Hibiki's group and for Tomoki to fire long-range attacks to the Demon's forces while the Allied forces of Limia and Gritonia to retreat to avoid further loses.

Then the fight starts as Tomoki fires his attacks using his lance towards the Demon General and blew his arm off and fired shots towards Io's soldiers as per agreement with Hibiki, before Io could attack Tomoki he was stopped by Hibiki and begins their conversation.

Hibiki witnessed Io's regeneration as she saw the demon general's arm grew back, reminding her of the Black Calamity Spider's insane regeneration.

As Io wore the ring is where things got worse, the magic on the ring activates and in the area where they are at the present is devoid of the Goddess' Blessing.

Tomoki is the one who is affected the most since his abilities all came from the Goddess' blessing, without it his Items became useless and he starts panicking and ordered his party to retreat immediately away from the battlefield.

Lily receives them as she the alchemist girl's(didn't bother to memorize her name lol) report on what happened earlier.

Lily finally concluded that the hero(toy) given to them by the Goddess is trash, but she will use what she can all in order for her plans to work. This event made Lily more dedicated to finish the production of firearms as this weapons doesn't need Goddess' blessing but only Metal, Gunpowder and people to use them.

Town of Obitt, in the teleportation circle where two people are about to use the circle to travel, Ei orders Shiki " Carry on as usual Shiki, I will catch up after I carried out my plans later understood?" and Shiki bows as he replies " Yes Master."

Ei nods and they walk inside the circle, as it activates a golden mana surrounds Ei and she heard the Goddess say " Found you".

'Such weak Goddess, if it was my main body she would've been lethally injured to teleport me. How lucky for her that I'm only using my Avatar puppet, but that luck won't matter with me around.' thought Ei as she lets herself be teleported to the location the Goddess wants her to be.

In the battle between Hibiki's party and Io, despite the erased Blessing Hibiki and her comrades continue to fight against the four-armed Demon general.

Try as they might, they can't defeat Io with such odds against them and their morale lowers more as Io told them that a detached force are on their way to Limia.

The detached force is lead by two individuals, a woman with a claymore and a seemingly young boy who has draconic eyes and his way of speaking tells you that he's not a boy at all.

They are having a conversation with Lona the Tactician as to why they attack Limia and not Gritonia, Lona responds with her logical thinking that Hibiki is far more of a threat to them than Tomoki and they need to kill her and destroy Limia at the same time to deal a huge blow against the Human faction.

The connection was suddenly cut off as Io, Lona, and the Mercenary duo saw a golden light that symbolizes the Goddess has made her own move against the Demons.

Hibiki saw Io's panic expression and became encouraged to do her all to keep Io from killing them all and to buy time for whatever or whoever's in that golden light.
