The monsters didn't want to let this chance slip by so they started charging towards us even faster than before.
Some of them were even pissed about the fireballs shot by Hina.
[ It's o-over!! ] ( Hina )
Both Hina and Ichika closed their eyes as they waited for the moment when the monsters would rip them apart. They even gave up on running away from them. Maybe they already knew that running away from those tigers would be impossible.
From one of the tigers, some kind of purple buzzing electricity was running through its teeth.
Those monsters didn't hesitate to hold back at all!
Before those monsters could get any closer to Ichika and Hina, I created several chains with "Materialization" and restrained all of the tigers. The chains started warping around the tiger's bodies without a problem.
I also restrained their mouths so they wouldn't release any special attacks. Now the only thing they could do was nothing else but watch.
[ [ ... ] ] ( Ichika / Hina ]
Both Ichika and Hina still had their eyes shut.
[ How long are you going to stay like that? ] ( Hatsuko )
I asked them.
They both opened their eyes, noticing that everything had become quieter.
[ Eh?! ] ( Hina )
[ W-what happened?! ] ( Ichika )
Some meters away from them, were the tigers which were being restrained by some green chains which were created by my skill.
There was no way for those monsters to attack anyone.
[ Try shooting fire arrows towards one of them. ] ( Hatsuko )
I said to Ichika.
She still was shocked by what just had happened.
[ D-did you do this?! ] ( Ichika )
She asked me.
[ Yeah. ] ( Hatsuko )
After confirming my answer, she changed her expression into a confident one and pointed out the palm of her hands towards one of the monsters. Even though she was scared, she managed to use her skill just like before!
*Swoosh* *Boom!*
Her attack managed to burn some fur of that monster.

Even though her attack wasn't that powerful, she managed to lower the health of the monster even for a bit. I also have noticed an effect on its status. The lower the health is the weaker the monster becomes!
[ Keep shooting at it! Try aiming at its eyes this time. ] ( Hatsuko )
[ Yes! ] ( Ichika )
*Swoosh* *Boom!!*
She shot another fire arrow at one of the eyes of that monster.
I have tested this before and I found out that the eyes of the monsters are the softest part of their body. That means it's a weak spot.
[ grmmmmh!!! ]
That monster that received Ichikas attack started struggling in pain from the attack. But getting out of my chains is impossible for a monster at that level!

This time the monster lost a lot more health than the first attack.
Even Hina was listening and watching us carefully.
After clearing out her mind she pulled herself together and looked at the same monster once again..
She slightly clapped her cheeks.
[ M-me too!! ] ( Hina )
Even Hina started attacking the other monsters with fireballs towards their eyes from her position.
*Boom*

That one attack, aimed at the monster's eye caused only that much damage. It would have been different if those Tigers weren't restrained by my skill.
Even Hina was learning how to control her skills better.
But my goal wasn't to make it easy for them to attack the monsters, but to improve Ichikas confidence in attacking a monster!
Until now she would run away or pass out from her fear of monsters, but right now she is making a step ahead of herself.
I don't know why Hina keeps hanging around us, but if she wants to become stronger then I don't care.
Right now I will help Ichika improve her abilities just as Kenji, her father requested.
I wouldn't have done this if it wasn't for the influence her father has.
The same goes for Haruto!
That's why I haven't done anything to Hina yet!
I will gain their trust and gain influence over the whole city!
And when I do so...
I will get rid of them!

I get some of why his personality is the way it is, but...that last comment about getting rid of them is a bit confusing. Does he even have a reason why he would want to get rid of them beyond 'I'm a d*ck for the sake of being a d*ck now'? Does getting rid of them benefit him in some way that would make him go out of his way to abandon or kill people he's spent time training and who hasn't really done anything harmful to him (and certainly nothing so bad as the sh*t he put up with from this story's beginning when he was weak?)
Seriously, yeah he's powerful now, but planning on getting rid of potential allies he's spending (wasting, really, if he goes through with it) time training for no real reason is just plain stupid. If he doesn't care about allies who should have a good bit of loyalty to him by the time he's finished training them, there's no point in gaining influence over the city of randos because why would he care for a bunch of even weaker mooks with less loyalty?
Anyway, just my thoughts on the matter. I have no idea where you're going with this, so I'll shut up now and hope for the best.
Hmm i dont understand, why hatsuko being so hateful anytime, although i dont hate it btw thanks for chap
Although I do not like certain parts of the novel.. those are purely my personal preference and has no connection to your skill as an author.. But I really do hope Haruto becomes a bit more 'human' with his behaviour as time passes and I want him to atleast have a few girls like hina, ichika and dragon girl to love him seriously..
Anyways thanks for the chapter....
The birth of the Demon King is coming
Luckily is more assertive than Nagumo Hajime
I guess the only thing I don't understand is why hatsuko needs to kill them. Like I understand that you were bullied and sh*t but uh I see no reason to kill them. Apart from that g story bro keep it up :D
