The magician demon looked around and noticed something.

(The demonic beasts aren't there... what do you mean?!

Originally, the demonic beasts should be gathered in this tower of Elias. However, there were no demonic beasts or even giant demons in sight. The face of the squid demon holding the shield had an impatient expression on it.

''Hey! What the hell is going on here? There's no hexenbiest coming!

'I don't get it either! A large number of magical beasts are still scheduled to arrive from the port. And yet!

The other two-faced squid demons and the battered level 999 demons joined together.

''Hoooooooon! We don't have any reinforcements coming in!
'Hey! More adventurers on the way!
!

They were fighting in the city. As the guild's adventurers gathered at Elias' tower, the Squid demons were surrounded by adventurers.


''This victory is already decided. Let's get them to be quiet.

Asbell tells him so. Behind her, Elyna is supporting V2's shoulders. He is battered and unconscious.

'Hoooooooon! I'm sorry, but you can't beat us even if you and your friends get together. Hahaha! Huhahahaha!

If you don't settle down. I think we're done talking and if not dead, then wounded. I have you to thank for that.

Lindow appears from the entrance of the tower of Elias. He is unarmed. The two-faced demon laughs.

''Nahahaha! You don't even have a weapon. You're going to fight us and defeat us? Ah!

Lindow sighs as she listens to the two-faced demon speak.

'You know...I just told your god(s). That's all.

!

The four demons were confused. No, they were upset. The level 999 demon stepped back.

''Hmph! Don't tell me you know our God!
Huh?

I don't know why, but the magician's demon couldn't stop sweating cold when the two swords clicked their tongues. And a momentary word upset him.

(Let's turn back for a moment here, or if we know about that one, there's a fear that even if we get the girl of the key, she might barge into our country with the state (kokka)!

The magician demon raised his staff and Esther and Alan moved. However, a level 999 demon and a two-faced demon created a large shock wave (shougeha).

'That kind of attack won't work! Tee-hee!

Just before Estelle's large body spear hit the magician's demon face, the four demons disappeared.


''Gone!

Probably back in the harbor for a time.

To Faye's amazement, Lindow gives Faye the hypo-potion when Alphonse next to her tells her that he's gone back to the port.

'Good! You guys get some rest and let me take care of things here.

'Wait! I can still fight!

Faye tells Lindow that she can still fight. Lindow grabs Faye's arm.

'Ts!?'

''With that arm wound and a few broken armpits, it's impossible to fight a squid demon. Faye, you've endured well.

"I'm going to take a break too. Faye.

I know! You just need to rest, right!

A little angry, Faye starts walking and Alphonse follows behind her.

The two of them head to the infirmary in Elias' tower. Lindow scratched her head a bit and then stayed behind. He gave instructions to the adventurers.

'They are in their respective guilds. The sub-guild masters report on the damage to the city. The remaining adventurers were to search for the wounded. I also need you to collect the defeated magical stones.

Yes, sir!

Yes, sir.

Each adventurer's half of the group has scattered. Lindow heads to where Ayame, Rem and Esther and Alan are.

Esther and the others will stay on to guard Elias's tower, and Ayame and Remu will make something hot to eat for the evacuees and the other races.

'Then big sister Miu was handing out food to everyone earlier. It was delicious!

You're already cooking for us, thank you.

Rem tells Lindow. Serena informed him that Mew will remain in Elias' tower. Ayame asked where Ren was.

'If it's Ren or that boy... the port.

Did you go alone?

'No, my trusty adventurers are with me. You needn't worry about them.

I believe in you. I hope Len comes back safe and sound.

Lindow told Ayame this and walked away and moved away from the spot a little.

Hiding in the building, Lindow put a thin brown tube in her mouth from her pocket and pulled out a fire spell from her fingers and brought it close to the tube.

'Phew, now here's the real deal. Please, Guild-Azuma.

Lindow starts walking around the city to search for demons hiding in the city. The smoke he exhales from his mouth contains ingredients that attract only demons, so Lindow walks around the city until he runs out of a bottle.

◆ ◆ ◆

He was running over the rooftops of the city at tremendous speed.

Its identity was Ren, the adventurer of Guild-Azuma. I can see the harbor in front of me. Ren jumps off the roof and lands on his feet.

He appears in the harbor. He runs up a huge rock in one go and emerges into a large area, where the four squid demons that disappeared in the city are gathered. Ren poured his magic power into the communication stone in his hand.

''I found them. Are those the squid demons?''

'Hooooooong! What's with this kid?

You're not an adventurer?

One squid demon screams in surprise, but looks relieved when he sees me. Why?


What a child. I didn't expect you to come here through the crowd of demonic beasts, that's pretty reckless on your own. Ha ha ha!



So says the magician demon. He teases the squid tentacles on his head with his hand. The remaining three have the same squid head if you look closely.

'Squid demon I haven't had any squid food lately.

I remember a squid recipe in my head. Was it that one I had on a trip with my parents? I think it was the local dish "squid rice" of the coldest prefecture.

(Not bad to make after all these years.)


What? We are the [Larken tribe] as well as the following. Some of the humans know more about it than we do, which is a bit different from what our king has told us.

The king is here?

Hmm? The Larken are a tribe of demons who live in the deep sea, and they have warm personalities and interact with other tribes, and there are also kings and princesses in the undersea countries, but the three demons are called kings.

"Are you the demons that live in the undersea country?



"We don't belong to a country, kid. We belong to the gods. Soon we'll be at the wish-granting gate and belong to the land of the ideal, hmmm!

The magician's demon reached out his hand and two giant water snakes made of water appeared out of the sea.

'This is the end of the story. I'm sorry, but you're going to have to disappear, kid! "Splash Snake!

As the two giant water snakes headed towards me, I activated my fire magic.

''Fire Circle.''

The water snake evaporated and disappeared as a circle of flame danced high over the spot where I stood.

'That one! The Volcano Wall? You didn't tell me you could use that kid's advanced magic? You're a sorcerer (wizard)!

No, it's a lower level magic, the Fire Circle...

(The master's magic skills have been maxed out, so the lower level magic is a few levels more powerful.)

I was discussing with Liara about whether I could reduce the power of the lower level magic by using telepathy and Liara, and the faces of the squid demons were surprised and confused. Then the squid demon with a shield comes forward.

''Even with advanced magic my shield should be no match for anyone. ''Shield! Swallow the fire!

The shield with the hole in it tries to swallow the flames. I immediately started to run and began to fight with my buddy sword 'Magna' in my hand.

'It's useless! My shield is the strongest shield that prevents any attack!

'Then I'll stop attacking the shield and attack the body...'

Activate your alter ego! A surprise attack.

Ren's minute body suddenly appeared and slashed the body of the squid demon from behind, cutting the body in half with a single letter slash.

''Geez!!!!?''

The squid demon with the shield turned into a particle of light and disappeared. Then an electronic sound came from the menu.

Ren has learned a new skill.


He has learned Binge Eating (Gratney).

I've learned master copy.


We've learned Greed.


She has three new skills?



This is lucky to get three skills! I thought. Then the squid demons looked at me and gave me a surprised look.

'Nah-na!' What the hell is that human race?!

A two-faced demon with a quivering voice? Then the magician looked so bad that even the magician couldn't hide his expression of surprise.

'That little boy! You beat a guy who prides himself on his defense all by himself!

'Hooooooong! It's funny, but it's so far! Hahahaha! Huhahahaha!


Soon another demon attacked. I believe it was a level 999 squid demon? I saw the squid's fist raise, so I avoided the attack and sheathed the magna and poured an enormous amount of magical power into my left hand.


'Hooooooong! Fear! "999 Metal Fist.

The demon, which has been strengthened to its maximum physical capacity, hit me with its fists in succession, but its movements were slow as if in slow motion, so I avoided it with room to spare.

"Huhahahahaha! Shattered........stupid!

The level 999 demon looks at my face and gives me a frightened expression, but it's too late. You're going to have to pay the price for hurting so many people and other species.

It's meaningless to increase your physical abilities to the limit. It's just like the shield you used earlier, you're just relying on your abilities to wield it, I'll end it!

It sends magic power, which includes all attributes, to your fist. Since we don't know the weakest attribute, it's just an increase in all of them.


Hmph!

The magic power raised in the left fist is thrust up to slam into the body of a level 999 demon, and from the body, the magic power of the attribute overflows from the body like a rainbow of light and pierces the body of the demon.

"Gwaaaaaa!


Another electronic sound comes from the menu.



Ren has learned a new skill.

You have learned Arrogance (Pride).

I have learned the skill Lust.

I've learned the skill Iron Renunciation.



Three skills again! For a moment, there was a nice smell of grilled "roasted squid", but then it turned into light particles and the nice smell disappeared. And a large magic stone (mushrooms) and a magic core (core) rolled on the ground.


'....What are you.......Kisama! Isn't it the human race! I'm not going to admit that there are more powerful than us!

He is a magician demon who mastered magic in the deep sea a long time ago. Compared to other monsters of the deep sea, he has possessed an enormous amount of magical power since he was a child, and he was always on a roll after defeating monsters weaker than himself.


However, several years later, he was finally ordered by the Queen of the Deep Sea. Finally, by the order of the Queen of the Deep Sea, the magician demon was banished from the country. The magician's demon was not able to recognize the crime he had done.

And the magician who resented the queen's daughter cursed the queen's daughter and disappeared from the land of the deep sea, and met the demon who had mastered the same ability as him.

The gods want it. He raids the city to get information on the wish-fulfillment gate and the key Alice holds, but that fails.

Ren tells the magician demon.

'I'm just an 'adventurer', what is it?'

f*ckING NAAAARGH!

I scream in anger, a two-sword swordsman demon, kicking the ground and coming towards me.
