104 – Grand Duke Aka – 104
It was literally the same time as the big explosion happened. A white cloud of light was formed around the source of the explosion, forming a protective barrier.
“hahahaha! yes! If you don’t want to get lost, you’ll have to put up a shield!”
Paimon giggled as he looked at the enemies in priestly uniforms reaching for the translucent sphere of light.
Enemies who judged that it was dangerous if the aftermath of the explosion hit the inside had unlocked the door of light, and as soon as the enemies came out, they were also swept away by the explosion and became incapacitated, so they thought they were blocking the attack.
“ha ha ha! Did you see Gregory! They shut the door of light on their own!”
“Paimon, that crazy bitch… … !”
When the situation becomes a mess due to Paimon’s sudden intrusion, Samael crumples his expression and glares at the sky where Paimon is.
“Samael! long time no see! It’s been a really long time! Do you like the present I prepared?!”
“shut up! Do you know what you just did?!”
“You mean the bombing at your men’s houses? It was gorgeous and nice, but how could you frown so much? Ha ha ha ha ha!”
Is it because he succeeded in feeding Samael properly? Paimon was smiling brighter than usual.
“Allos Husgo! Why is Paimon in the imperial family?!”
“Sin, sorry! I can understand the news of Demon Lord Paimon entering the palace———”
“Report the situation first!”
“Currently, the number of transfers is 3 swordsmen and 12 followers! The rest failed to transfer while defending the Gate of Light!”
It seemed that Paimon’s throwing of the bomb had worked.
Did Paimon expect this?
“Ha ha ha ha ha! How embarrassing! Ha ha ha ha ha!”
… … I don’t think I expected that much, though. In any case, it was clear that Paimon’s actions had caused great confusion.
When the smoke from the explosion died down and the situation calmed down a bit, the personnel from the Light Gate finally appeared.
3 people wearing black robes and 12 people wearing white robes.
They, too, seemed quite perplexed by the explosion that occurred upon arrival.
According to the scribe, Allos Husgo, there are three swords of the Holy Church. It seemed that all the people wearing black robes were the swords of the Holy Church.
“Open the barrier right now!”
Samael, who had pushed Raphael away, exclaimed while looking at the scribes and believers.
Then, more than half of the 12 believers knelt in place and started chanting like a prayer while the other 6 guarded them.
Instinctively, I felt compelled to block it, and as I ran towards the praying believers, one of the opponents wearing a black robe stood in my way.
“Reunion. plural.”
familiar voice.
“… … Yukel.”
The sword of the Holy Church that invaded the dormitory in the past.
Hearing that Samael was with the Church, he hoped, but he didn’t know that he would actually appear here.
“devil… … !”
The guy also had a distorted expression, not his original expressionless face, as if he remembered me.
“You still hate demons.”
However, there was a fact he didn’t know.
“It will be different from then. Yukel.”
Although I said this, it is an obvious fact that even if I deal with Yukel, the number of heads is insufficient.
Even if I and Marvas, Paimon, and Raphael were in charge of Samael and the swords of the Church, there were not enough people to deal with the rest of the believers.
In other words, now we needed a trick.
“Gregory!”
At that time, there was a voice that could be heard through the translucent barrier.
Two blonde girls running towards this place. From a distance, the two looked very similar in appearance, but there was one obvious difference.
Right away, the hair that was not completely dyed and was dyed black near the top of the head.
It was the appearance of Rosé and Pie.
“Boo, you must have opened a barrier!”
The scribe, who watched the appearance of the two, shook his head as if it were nonsense.
“If one of the guys running over there is a peony I know, it’s quite possible. It will bother you.”
Samael frowns at the appearance of the last members who finally appear.
“Hey, you did something funny. Imperial Secretary Arlos Hughes… … . And, is that Samael? long time no see.”
Pi, who broke through the barrier and entered the room with Rosé, said while bending her neck from side to side.
“There are those costumes… … . It seems that the Holy Church intervened. I can roughly understand the situation. What just happened here is Prince Peacock, who is in charge of guarding the imperial family. I will vouch for all of them. So you… … .”
Pai looked around once, took a breath, and said.
“Please run amok with all your might.”
In other words, a declaration that you will take responsibility for any damage that occurs in this space now.
At that remark, the expressions of all the demons present here now brighten.
“If you say so… … . Do not decline.”
Starting with the great devil who just tried to blow up the imperial family with the Prism Jewel.
“Pai, since you say that, it’s okay to run amok. Hmm, reminds me of the old days.”
The Great Devil recalls the past while gripping the hilt of the sword he was holding tighter.
“The scale has become too large.”
Even the Archdemon, who has somehow adapted to this goddamn world.
“Pie, Rosé. You guys take charge of the believers who are building barriers over there.”
“yes! Leave it to this rosé!”
“I will protect Rosé.”
In this way, the balance between each formation was roughly adjusted.
From now on, all that remains is a battle to covet each other’s blood and flesh.
Indeed, isn’t it a battlefield that suits me right now?
[(Attribute: 「Greed」 is activated.)]
For the time when I really show my true feelings, I replace the mana I saved with black flames.
“I don’t know if I can hold on well without retreating this time.”
“… … cruelty. punishment. Ifrit.”
Finally, the words she uttered are gaining strength, and a feverish wind blows around Yukel.
Ifrit appears while wearing a bright red flame that started from the air.
Showing the majesty of an S-class summoner, a summoner named ‘Ifrit’ descended to the imperial family.
“I haven’t seen you in a long time. Ifrit.”
Still looking terribly strong. However, with a creepy appearance, this one will never lose.
Then, let’s check if we have overcome the weakness of the last time.
[(Skill: Explosive Speed) is activated.]
[(Skill: Spread Wings) is activated.]
By using both skills at the same time, the speed is explosively increased and rushes toward Eukel.
The way I was able to win against Yukel last time.
It was a Hug.
“Ifrit!”
At the same time as Eukel’s cry, a wall of bright red flame forms in the path I rush.
However, there’s no way I could stop my rush with that level of defense.
[(Skill: Fire enchantment) is activated.]
Covers her entire body with “greed”. Its appearance is a wheel covered with black flames.
It is ‘something’ that can never be expressed with words that exist in reality.
“──cockroach kick”
[(Skill: Cockroach Kick) is activated.]
Break through the wall of flame in a straight line and launch a cockroach kick straight towards Yukel.
However, a tremendous amount of impact is felt from the ankle, as if crashing into an iron wall, and the body is thrown backwards.
“Excellent preparation.”
A white dome in the shape of a tortoise shell covered her surroundings.
Judging by the form, it seems to be a faith-type skill, not a skill derived from Ifrit.
I never thought I’d be able to use this level of defensive magic in such a short amount of time… … .
“Goodbye.”
And at the same time, I felt a terrible heat burning behind my back and I jumped up.
“Keugh!”
Because it was wrapped around its body with “greed”, it did little damage from flames, but the amount of shock transmitted from its overwhelming power and mass was an attack that could be said to be threatening.
I quickly spread my wings, got my balance, and landed a little further away.
“… It hurts terribly.”
[Attribute: Tenacious Vitality] doesn’t seem to have taken any serious damage.
When I moved the three pairs of arms and legs, I could see that I could still move without difficulty.
As expected, I have grown since I first met Ifrit.
Turn your gaze and look around.
The other guys are also struggling to deal with their respective enemies. If one fell here, the balance would begin to tip and the end would come.
As I thought about it, something like strength began to rise from a corner of my heart.
[(Attribute: Noble) is activated.]
… … Is it because of pride?
I never thought I would be affected by the nobility trait here.
Still, thanks to him, it was true that it helped me a little bit.
“Okay, let’s see who’s stronger in that short amount of time.”
I shouted and directed at the top of Ifrit’s head, squeezing out all the mana in my body and shouting.
“The Black Swamp.”
Indeed, what will the spirit of fire that has swallowed everything look like?
I was starting to look forward to it.
