188 And so it rises.

Eighty-two, eighty-eight, ninety-three: ....... I'm getting tired of counting the number of enemies I've killed. I'm not sure what to make of this. It's a good thing that you're not the only one who has a problem with this.

The war is not so different from the usual defeat of demons, right?

If they were human, I'm sure they would be hesitant to kill us and would be busy trying not to die. As usual, the demons attacked me without fear of death. There's no need for me to hesitate when they have no hesitation in taking my life, and I'm grateful for that. However, I am worried that some of the enemies are heading towards the Blue Demon King and the villagers. But if we leave this place, more and more demons will avalanche into the other side, and then I'll have to fight while paying attention to my surroundings. I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what you need to do to get the job done.

No, focus, focus.

I'm not sure what to do. I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it'll help. I don't need to think about anything else, I just need to maintain this good condition and keep fighting.

That's great, human! It looks like my luck has turned for the better with someone as strong as you! My name is...

Did he just talk to me? But there's no one nearby, only the corpses of demons that return to the dust without saying a word. I'm not sure what kind of demon this is in the first place. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it. I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that. ...... I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works for you.

You'll be able to find a lot more information on this subject in the future. Is that Exduk? Have they already finished intercepting it in the village? It seems to be heading not towards my position but towards the Blue Demon King, as it doesn't drop in altitude. .......

I'm not sure what to do.

Should I head there too? I'm not sure if I should head there too, but it would take me a long time to get there with my movement speed, and more importantly, there are still demons around. I know it's dangerous to leave them behind, but I don't know why. I'm feeling more distracted than usual, like I have a lot on my mind. .......

It's probably because of your mother's presence.

I'm sure I'm ready to talk to my mother after Mr. Shoushou told me. I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it. But if I can't protect her in this battle...

No, I have to trust Blue Demon Lord and Ecduke. I'm sure they'll be able to handle it!

I'll only do what I can do. I'll just do what I can do. I'll just trust in the fact that Master Shosho told me that this is the best way to help everyone.

I'm dying.

It doesn't help to have experienced the moment when you realize that you are going to die. The next time I come back to my senses, it will be another hundred years. The next time I come to my senses will be more than a hundred years from now. So the fact that my head is spinning like this now means that I'm already...

"Huh?

There's a mallet in front of me, swinging down at me. Tamascha Fossea's blow will definitely kill me. And yet, how can I look up at it for any length of time?

"Nuh-uh? Use strange technique ......!

Huh?

I thought that time had stopped, but if you look closely, you can see that Tamasha Fozea's arms are trembling. From the rise and fall of his arm muscles, he was still trying to swing his mallet at me. Stuck? When I thought about it, the first thing that came to my mind was Ecdysium's true "Blind Eye". That move would explain this situation. So he made it in time!

I looked around, but I couldn't see him. Where, where is he? I can't see him in front of me or to my left or right. If he's not in the sky, then he's behind you. When I turn around, I see him.

"...... what?

How many times do I have to make that silly face and voice? But I had no choice. It wasn't Ecdysique, who I'd been waiting for, nor was it Lakra, the runner-up. It was their mother, Natra. How could she be here, in such a dangerous place?

"This is your work! You did this! It's not a ward, it's a thing!

Tamascha Fossair raised his hammer again and swung it down at me. But as before, the blow stopped just short of me, as if it were blocked by an invisible wall. I looked back at Natra and looked into her eyes. There is my figure, and behind it is a shield large enough to cover Tamasha Fossea's figure.

"Natra-san, your power ......?

You can see the shield shattering in Natra-san's eyes. At the same time, a great deal of blood began to flow from both of her eyes. She couldn't take it any longer, and sat down on the spot, holding her eyes. This power is undoubtedly the power of a demon inherited from the same great demon as Exoik.

A theory popped into my head. Somehow Lakra can also use this power. The man said it might be because of the blood. If that's the case, then it makes sense that Natra, who exists between Ekduik and Lakra, would be affected by it. However, it is said that even Ekuik, who is skilled in magic, had bleeding from his eyes when he used this power for the first time. If an inexperienced amateur were to use such a power, the strain would be immeasurable.

Fortunately, there was no follow-up attack yet. I ran over to Natra to check on her condition. The magic in her body had been disrupted, and the unique magic of a demon that should not exist was flooding near her eyes. Perhaps because of this, she was unable to speak and was trembling in pain.

This is not good. This power is too dangerous for Natra, who can't manipulate magic power inside her body. She uses a spell to suck out her opponent's magic power and sucks out the magic power in her head. If it's completely sucked out, it's dangerous, and that's all we can do at this point.

"Uh-uh, huh, huh, huh. ......

"You've got room to breathe. You're too reckless to use a force you can't handle.

Huh ...... huh ....... What is this ...... thing? Suddenly, a shield appeared and ...... shattered, and then .......

From the looks of it, you don't seem to know the first thing about power. But there's only one reason why ...... you're in such a state. I'm sure you'll be able to find a lot of people who are interested in this kind of thing. That means she must have just wanted to protect me and unleashed her power.

Exduk's power comes from the demon. I'm sure a glimpse of the curse was passed down to you as a blood relative. It's a power that allows you to make the substance of your thoughts appear only in your own eyes, it's very powerful but also very taxing. If you use it without any magical enhancement, you will get .......

...... Yes, that's right. One day, I had a strange feeling in my eyes. ....... This is it, isn't it? ....... When I thought you were in danger ...... and there was nothing I could do ...... to protect you, ...... I'm sorry, okay? I'm sorry I caused you so much trouble. ......

It's not a problem! What's more, is your body okay?

You ...... did something to me, didn't you? My body doesn't feel as strong as it ...... should, but I'm feeling much better. ......

You're right, but you're obviously in bad shape. If you don't take care of it quickly and properly, it could be irreversible. But the situation is not kind enough for them to wait for it. On the contrary, this is not good for me either. Tamasha Fossea is about to resume her attack now that the invisible wall that prevents her attack has disappeared. Of course, there's nothing I can do about it in my current state--

"Rorororoooo!

"Nuh-uh!

Daruagestia jumped out and hit Tamasha Fozea with her body, blowing her away. It's not the first time I've seen this kind of thing. This girl ...... should not even be able to stand up with her legs shattered .......

The Blue Demon King....... I don't care. ...... Run away. ....... In this state, I can't even move ...... anymore.

"Are you kidding me? Why should I give up the reason I'm fighting here?

You are ...... more important to her than I am because you are ...... more important to her than I am. ......

Oh my god, you say that in this situation? It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. I'm not sure if it's for the rest of my life, but I'm going to be carrying it around with me for the rest of my life! I don't want to do that!

I check Tamasha Fossea's face. She's already up and walking towards us. He's going to finish off Dar'Agestia, and then he's going to kill us for sure. There's no way we can wait for a miracle to bring Ecdysium or Lakra here in time. The only way out of this situation is me. I'm not ready for a last resort. But it's the only possibility. Bide my time? Absolutely not, so how do we--

"Hey, can you hear me?

"Whoa!

A voice suddenly rang out from the communication crystal I had in my pocket, and I couldn't help but let out a strange sound. You should read the air when you communicate with me at this time! No, wait a minute, it's more like an opportunity! I'm sure that guy has a way to get out of this situation.

Don't make a sound. You're gonna freak me out.

That's my line! Don't say anything, just give me your wisdom! We're in trouble!

Just tell me what's going on.

We're in combat with a unique class! I'm fighting a unique class! Dar'agestia is down! I'm pretty sure I'll be dead before that thing is ready! And I can't move with Natra here!

"Then get ready now!

That's why you're in trouble, isn't it?

If it's not ready, make it ready.

So...

Die, and you'll be fine.

What? What are you suddenly...

No, that's not for me. That's what I'm talking about. That's what I'm talking about! You're right, it's not too late. ......! I can hear some kind of commotion on the other end of the communication crystal, but I ignore it, I can't afford to be careless when I know what I have to do.

Just in case, I put a ward around Natra's body. You pick her up, jump on top of the fallen Daluagestia, and call out to her.

"Calm down, Dal'Agestia. Surrender everything to my words, to my presence!

Dal'Agestia, who had been trying to force herself to get up, stopped struggling when I climbed on top of her. I connected my own magic power with Dal'Agestia's. This allows me to vaguely feel Dal'Agestia's will. Oh, she's still full of it. Don't worry, you can still fight. Yes, you will. I'll give you that power. ......! He looks down at Tamasha Fossea, who is heading this way.

"Well, you look like you're ready.

You look ready." "Well, I'm sorry you had to see that. But now that the odds are in my favor, I don't need to be upset anymore.

Hahahahaha! Your bluff is ridiculous! "Weak Demon Lord, what more can you do?

Well... I'm weak myself. But I'm the Demon Lord. So I'll just do what only a Demon Lord can do. ...... Skeleton soldiers! Weapons at the ready!

At the command, all the skeleton soldiers regripped their weapons and raised them. Tamasha Fozier watches and snickers.

What do you think you're doing?

Kill yourselves, all of you.

What?

At the same time as my words, the skeleton soldiers thrust their weapons into their own bodies. Even those who had dropped their weapons grabbed their skulls with their arms and crushed them. Without a moment's hesitation, they destroy their own bodies. The body that has been destroyed beyond a certain level collapses in a flash and rolls into a corpse.

"I'm lost! I'm not going to say it's clean.

"Well, I guess you could say it's graceful. It's a shame that you've taken the trouble to gather and train so many soldiers, only to have them exterminated by your own voice. But now we finally have the numbers we need!

The power of Annihilation is activated through Dar'agestia. The power of annihilation is the power to create the undead by imparting the soul of a human corpse into the core. But this is an application of that, and of course the core is the Daluagestir. However, it is the corpses of all the skeleton soldiers lying around here that are given the power of magic. The magic power that would normally be absorbed naturally over a long period of time will be poured in by my power at once.

In order to raise the rank of the unique class, it is not enough to pour the magic power of the demon king into the individual itself. It is necessary to accumulate power until the individual itself possesses enough magical power to withstand the magical power of the Demon Lord. As a giant, Daluagestir required a much greater amount of magic power than an ordinary individual. That is to say, it is comparable to the total number of skeleton soldiers I have.

Daruagestia's body was rapidly being repaired, and her body was being transformed into an even thicker and more massive skeleton.

"Now, roar, Dal'Agestia! The Blue Demon King is worthy of me, and I will use my power to roar across the world!

"Ouro-ro-ro-ro-ro-ro-ro-ro-ro-ro-ro-ro!

The roar of Daruagestia will shake the air and the earth. The demons that had been aroused by the power of the struggle stopped moving in response to the impact. The skeleton dragon, which was only the size of a hill, became a huge mountain that cast shadows on all the demons present.

"Na......conna......! I'm not sure what to say.

It's a good thing I'm a direct subordinate of Scarlet. Tamascha Fossair, astonished by the evolved form of Dar'agestia, roared and rushed forward.

"Annihilate it, Dal'Agestia!

"Ooo-roooh!

Dal'Agestia swung her paws up and without a trace of ingenuity, slammed down with all her might. The earth cracked and clumps of dirt flew into the air. The earth cracked, and clods of dirt flew through the air, including countless pieces of ogre flesh that fell to the earth. After that, Tamasha Fossea was never seen again.
