Chapter 288

It was the Spirit who reacted faster than Siegfried to the sudden appearance of the monster.

The blades of the wind, which were more than usual, swayed to the point that Siegfried’s body floated for a moment, striking the monsters that opened their mouths and poked their teeth. However, Siegfried, who reacted at the sight of intense cutting sounds, screams, and blood, quickly struck the monsters with the side of his sword and fell back, in a dangerous situation where he would have been crushed by the corpse. He seemed to be smiling.

[Fear! And run away! The more you do, the more the beings of Ten Majeon will contaminate this land! You guys die in pain and despair...]

“Fire the damn patient!”

Along with Siegfried’s cry that cut off Crumelia’s words, his greatsword shone and a huge stream of fire erupted.

Sheryl saw the battle with Eldmia, so she knew that it was a secondary magic called battery. I wasn’t sure if those cursed shouts were really spells, but the results of the magic mattered more than that now.

As soon as the rising flames fell to the floor like thick oil, they began to burn the monsters with terrifying momentum, so it could be said that the performance was certain. Although it didn’t seem like it was enough to threaten Crumelia, at least it prevented those pouring monsters from jumping forward right away.

“Didn’t you say Cheryl?! Back off with Tennea! It’s still too much to protect you guys in the midst of the supply offensive!”

Siegfried’s cry was indeed that of a warrior, but Cheryl disagreed with that judgment. Most of the four-legged monsters that were able to avoid the flames still aimed at Siegfried, but a few of them aimed at himself and Tennea.

Fortunately, thanks to the linear movement, it was not difficult to deal with four or so at the same time. Even cut to death. Sheryl exclaimed, convinced that she was a much more viable foe than the devil.

“Those monsters aren’t just targeting the hero! Get back first! We must protect the passage!”

“What...okay! Go!”

Siegfried, who thrust his greatsword into the jaws of the monsters that rushed to bite his head off and turned his head to refute, saw the corpses of the dead monsters around Cheryl and immediately turned around. If they were only targeting themselves, it would have been better to commit an indiscriminate massacre in a wide area, but if not, it would have been better to hold out in the aisle and wait for reinforcements.

“Damn, if only Eselua and Entire were there, I’d split that bastard from the top of his head!”

The dead monsters did not disappear, and the monsters that came out of Krumelia’s belly were steadily rising, even if they didn’t appear explosively like the first time. Even if it had the intelligence of a beast, it was not possible to charge without thinking because it did not buy itself. If he made a mistake, he might go down in history as the first warrior to die after being crushed by a corpse.

“How long will it take for Eldmia to notice and come back?”

“I don’t know. If we were lucky enough to meet the princess’s party, we would hurry up, but... This is not the location marked on the map.”

Cheryl was just following that unpleasant aura, and even Siegfried is a corridor that he arrived at using the saintess Tennea as a compass. No matter how good Eldmia was at tracking, it was not easy to find traces of people on a stone floor, so I had no choice but to be very skeptical.

[under! It shouldn’t be the time to relax!]

Crumelia burst into a blatant sneer as she watched them guard the aisle and enter the defense, then raised both arms and began to recite a spell. Siegfried also studied magic diligently, but since it was a language he had never heard before, it was not difficult to notice that it was a language only used by demons.

Then, seeing the two arms of Crumelia melting into one and a new crack forming there, he frowned.

“Uh, that fucking bastard. Isn’t that trying to open the gate again?”

“Hey Etei...”

Unlike the two who were very nervous, Cheryl tilted her head involuntarily in this serious situation. you open the gate? Then, the same situation

as before

...

Crumelia screamed in pain to such an extent that even the summoned monsters turned their heads to look at Crumelia, and began flapping violently like a fish on land again.

[Fuck! Shit!]

“...What is it? What’s wrong with that bastard?”

“I don’t know. But when I was messing around with my stomach earlier...

“I don’t know what they did, but monsters keep coming out of the ship.”

“I guess it’s some kind of gate. Just before, he tried to open another gate with his arms.”

“That’s why I kept flying around annoyingly.”

“yes?”

“No, I’m just talking to myself. Please stay still here.”

As Eldmia muttered an incomprehensible word, and took a step forward, Krumelia’s upper body, which had fallen behind, suddenly stood up and this time, her gaze moved to Eldmia. The spirit of the monsters coming out of the ship has decreased to the point where only one comes out every few tens of seconds, but even the monsters that have already appeared around are threatening enough, and it is not so nice to see them shedding bloody tears with a hole in their head among the monsters wriggling like that. It wasn’t the look.

Seeing that grotesque sight, the party frowned, but for the time being, as Eldmia had said, they stuck to their positions. It was unlikely that the human who won the hero would die suddenly, so there was no rejection in following his words.

[You... again... what?!]

The unexpected surprise wasn’t fatal, but it was enough to push the displeasure to the limit. Crumelia vowed to rip and eat alive, and at the same time opened her eyes so as not to forget the image of the human she would rip.

And, to my surprise, I hesitated a little.

In general, the gaze that could never be received when facing humans made the opponent feel like something other than a human being. Thanks to this, even though there were monsters and fire barriers between her and the beast, Krumelia felt as if she would rush in at any moment and cut off the victim’s head, making her very nervous.

“...Hey, is the owner of that body dead?”

She didn’t like that look, as if she was staring at something disgusting, repulsive, and insignificant, without fear or anger.

[...ha, did you even know each other? Then, can you live like this?]

“It’s a waste. There’s something I wanted to ask you.”

[I’m going to die anyway, so why don’t you ask next to the god you love so much?]

Then, I activated the gate I had completed over time.

Crumelia was certain of victory, laughing at the humans who stood idly by, not knowing what it meant to complete the gate to bring in intact demons, unlike using her own ability to bring back monsters without intelligence.

Five demons contracted with her. They were strong enough to pose a threat even to non-trivial warriors. Although he consumed a lot of the main body’s power in Manmajeon for this plan, it didn’t matter anyway because it was something that could be restored by destroying the kingdom anyway.

Because of that, Krumelia was able to shout as she felt the demons coming through the gate that opened from her entangled hands.

[Greetings to the demons who want to play with you guys...]

“Cockroaches.”

Eldmia, who had been fiddling with her sword and staring at her confident reaction and the gradually expanding gate, opened her mouth, and a barely audible voice came out, hidden by the growls of the monsters.

“Originally, if you see one, you should expect dozens of them.”

What is this human being called?

The moment Crumelia’s confident face was full of doubts, five demons appeared simultaneously from the expanded gate. Crumelia laughed at Eldmia, who was still calmly looking at that figure, but belatedly tried to pull out her sword.

[Laughs...]

“That’s why you should be careful when applying medicine. If you rush for nothing, you won’t be able to kill them all.”

And suddenly, blood gushed out in all directions, and not only the demons but also the demons that had just appeared were all frozen in a surreal scene where their heads fell off.

[...Huh?]

While Crumelia panicked, Eldmia, who penetrated the flames and dug into the city in an instant, aimed at her neck and swung her sword.
