Chuuinot

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!*

The ruins abruptly explode in a great fiery explosion and everyone rigidly turns around to face Megumin whose staff was still smoking from the spell. She flips her Flame Cloak and grins at them all. "I AM MEGUMIN, GREATEST OF THE CRIMSON DEMONS, CONQUEROR OF MULTIPLE WORLDS! THIS MARKS THE FIRST DEMON GENERAL SLAIN BY MY HA-"

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!*

"GOD DAMN IT, STOP FIRING EXPLOSIONS ALREADY!" Kazuma exclaims, searching for whoever had cast the second one.

"Uhhh... That was none of us, guest-san."

...

Kazuma looks towards the smoke cloud that was once the ruins and pales as something exits out the top of it and rises high above them all. Sylvia's lower body had been merged with some kind of giant mechanical snake, and those who could sense it felt her new immense magical capabilities...

"BEHOLD! MY NEW FORM! PREPARE TO-"

"LIIIAAAGHHTT SABBAAARRRRRR!"

"LIGHTO SABER!!"

"LIIIGHT SABEEERROOOO!!!!"

"LIGHT SABER!"

All at once as if preplanned all of the Crimson Demons launch their spell at the enhanced Demon General, blasting her to the ground with a huge impact!

Then a magical shockwave expands outwards from Sylvia, catching everyone in it disabling all of them from using any magical at all... The Crimson Demons only notice this after four or more attempts to cast their spells, dancing, flourishing, and overexaggerating casting all.

"Uh... No magic, ne?"

"Our magic isn't working..."

Hiropon looks at his hands and back at the smoke cloud that an enraged Sylvia had just burst out of and was now charging them. "REETREEAAAAAT! RUUUN AWWAAAY!!"

The Crimson Demons do as he says, leaving Michael and Kazuma's group just dumbly standing there as Darkness begins sprinting towards the Demon General...

"Ne ne, Aqua... You think Darkness will meet Eris once she dies?"

"Probably..."

Saya looks to Michael, "Are we going to do something or just run with the rest of them? All of us but you are useless without magic..."

Michael shrugs, "Tiff could probably still do it since she's a Void Mage, but if you wanna run go ahead. I won't let this General do anything though."

"You can beat her... It?"

He nods, "Yeah, she feels around the strength of a Dragon back home."

Once Darkness reaches her opponent she slashes her blade at Sylvia's massive snake-like body... And somehow misses anyway, her blade cutting some rocks nearby but not touching her target at all...

Red-faced, she looks up at a smirking Sylvia who lowers her human upper half to the Crusader, "Are you really a famous adventurer, girl? Because that was pathetic..."

"S-stop! I will defeat you and protect ever-"

*Smack!*

Darkness goes flying as Sylvia swats her, the masochist letting out a loud moan as she flies over her party's heads, eventually crashing into the distant cliff-face.

"O-Oh my god! W-will she be alright!?" Saya exclaims while jabbing her finger at the impact zone.

Kazuma and Aqua both shrug their shoulders and go, "Meh, it's not the first time..."

"W-we'll go look for her once the fight's done!... Does anyone have any plan to defeat her?" Yunyun asks.

"Nope..."

"Run?"

"Hey, partner, maybe you should stop fooling around and solve this already." Derflinger asks in his sheath.

Michael rolls his shoulders, "Sure, let's see how much a Demon General's soul is worth." mutters before rushing off, sprinting and ridiculous speeds at the advancing Demon General who's taken completely off-guard by it.

"W-what!? Are you the legendary Mitsurugi!? Wielder of Gram!?" she asks in a panic.

"Nope!" he answers while popping the P as he kicks off of the floor and leaves a crater in his wake. Flying up, he twists in the air and throws a kick at Sylvia's face.

*BAAAM!!*

The Futa-General goes flying as if she'd been hit by a mountain.

*Woooooooosh!*

She lands heavily atop the crater that once was the ruins, a big bruise rapidly forming on her face. "W-what power!? Even after I absorbed the artifact, WHY!?"

"Was Michael always that strong...?" Saya asks with a twitching brow.

"Ah... Not from what I remember..." Tiffania mutters, remembering her time in Halkeginia. He was nowhere near this strong back then.

"WHhhaaaatt is that!? Aqua! Tell me I'm not dreaming!?... Am I a side character!? Tell me I'm not a side character! COULD I HAVE PICKED THAT INSTEAD OF YOU!?!" Kazuma shouts while gripping his head in disbelief.

"I DON'T KNOW KAZUUUMA! THAT WASN'T ON THE OPTIONS I GAAVE YOU! A-AM I THE HEROINE!? THAT'S THE ONLY OPTION IF YOU'RE A NOBODY!" Aqua shouts back, also having a mental breakdown.

"Will they be okay, do they ever stop screaming?" Megumin asks Yunyun who was also shocked by Michael's physical prowess. Composing herself, she shakes her head almost pitifully, "No, they don't..."

Back in the battlefield, Michael had mountain Sylvia and started ground-pounding her, sending vicious punching into her/his/its face, each one leaving cracks in the ground from the back of the General's head hitting it.

"GEE-*THUD*EET OFF-*THUD* OF ME-*THUD!THUD!THUDTHUD!*"

"Huh? What's that? I couldn't hear you over the sound of punching!"

"Was that supposed to be a one-liner? Laame!" Derflinger comments from his hip.

"Quiet swor-"

*SMACK!*

Sylvia uses the momentary distraction to smash her fist into Michael's face, throwing him to the side but not really doing all that much damage due to [Auroth's Scales] taking the impact. "HOW'S THDAT!?" she angrily shouts, her words muffled by her swollen, bruised and bloody face.

"I'd say you hit like a girl but, that'd been an insult to women all over..." Michael retorts as he gets to his feet and finally draws Derflinger. "Finally!"

"You ready to receive or do you need a pillow to bite first?" he asks with a smug grin.

"DON'T MOCK ME! I'LL KILL YOU!" Sylvia roars, raising her hands and preparing the magic equivalent of a Kamehameha.
