It was a giant frog.
　It had a body many times larger than a normal monster, with paws like a human arm that could be as long as five meters to support it. And a crown-like object sprouted from its head.

What is that?

　to the bewilderment of the adventurers who were fighting it.
　But the frog didn't wait for their confusion.

　The frog slowly raised its paws to the sky.

"What is it?　What are you going to do?

　He's not trying to throw anything, he's not trying to hit you directly, there are no enemies around.
　Everyone was puzzled by the frog's behavior.

"Everyone get out of there!

　They were able to react because of Lasse's shout.
　Their bodies responded involuntarily to his urgent voice.
　Then the frog's arms disappeared.
　No, they were slammed right down.
　The next moment, the frog recoiled from his arms hitting the ground and flew into the air.
　The frog then leaps over the approaching monsters and falls near the city wall.
　The nearby adventurers and volunteers barely manage to avoid it, thanks to Lasse's warning.
　After falling to the ground, the frog, due to its round body, rolls with great force and is finally able to stop when it hits the ramparts.

......

"......

"......

　The adventurers looked at the frog with a shocked look on their faces.
　The wall is two hundred meters from where the frog appeared.
　The frog jumped over that distance in an instant.

...... You can make that frog fly again!

　It was Letty who first came to her senses.
　Thanks to her experience as a soldier in various unexpected encounters, the adventurers also regained their composure and began to attack the frog.

　Dozens of long spears stabbed into the frog's body.
　No, it seemed to have pierced the frog.
　But

"What?　I didn't pierce it!

　The long spear slipped on the frog's slimy body fluids and was flicked off without sticking.

d*mn!

　The adventurer holds up his spear to thrust it in again.
　But the frog won't allow a second attack.
　With a careless swing of its huge arm, the adventurers are blown away by the arm.
　It's as if it swept away a small winged insect.

　The battle situation was instantly reversed when the frog appeared.

Bring a wizard to deal with the frogs!　Weaponsmiths turn to demon suppression!　Casualties Retreat Into!　Bring in the stuck ones!　The demons will eat you!

　Trow immediately flies to the battlefield to take command.

"Lasse!　What is that monster!　What's its weakness?

　Letty asks Lasse for information in order to plan a countermeasure against the frogs.
　But Lasse can't give her the information.

"It's not a monster.

"Huh?

　Letty, who couldn't understand Lasse's words, voiced her doubts.
　It's a demon, no matter how you look at it," he said.

It's not a demon, it's a demon.

"Oh, the devil!

　Letty exclaims in astonishment.

Bael is a demon that has the heads of a man, a frog and a cat. It is said to have the power to satisfy all kinds of desires and sometimes appears on earth as a human, frog, and cat creature. He is a messenger of Bael with the powers of a frog.

"You mean Bael himself?

　Lasse's explanation baffles Letty, who didn't understand it.

"It's not Bael himself. Bael is a higher level demon. To summon such a demon would require a large quantity of good-quality sacrifices. These are more like spontaneous household demons that infiltrated this world, taking on the body of this world through the body of a demon from a special environment. It was probably triggered by the negative feelings of hungry demons who ran out of food during the mating season and started to eat each other.

And how to defeat it?

　Letty, having given up on understanding the explanation, only demands a solution.
　Meanwhile, the frog is beating adventurers and volunteers to death.
　The scene is so overwhelming that it's no match for them.
　On the contrary, even the demons in the vicinity were involved and blown away.

It's either the senior priest's evisceration spell or destroying the bodies we need to stay in this world!

　Bows and magic are released.
　But the arrows were warped by the mucous membrane, just like the sword, and the magic was barely effective due to the frog's demon's magical resistance.

"There are only senior priests in the capital!　The attack isn't working at all!

　Desperate situation, then more despair appears.
　The frog has raised its arms up again.



"Stop it at all costs!

　Trow screams with urgency.
　It was obvious where the frog would fly next.
　Where the demon would go, that is, where there was plenty of food.

　That is, in the city.

　Swords, spears, arrows, and magic are ineffective.
　They're all neutralized.
　The frogs' arms disappear.

No ordinary mortal can defeat the apostle unless he is equipped with the sacred blessing.

　Lasse spat out a word that seemed like resignation.
　The body of the frog has disappeared.
　The faces of the adventurers, and of the volunteers, are tinted with despair.

"For ordinary mortals.

　Except for one man, untainted by despair .

　There was a roar.
　A tremor shook its body as if it thought it was going to float.
　Everyone thought it was the sound of a frog landing in the city, looking at the frog buried in the ground.

......

"......

"...... huh?

　But here, someone felt that the frog should have entered the town, but the presence of the frog felt strange.

"Hey, why is there a frog in here, buried in the ground?

　The frog remains motionless, its paws twitching and jumping.
　It looks as if someone had struck him with a mighty blow.
　But who could do that?
　Who can blow away an opponent who was blowing away their own people with impunity?

　Then the ground was in shadow.
　Was there a cloud in the sky?
　No, it's not.
　The sound, the sound denied it.
　A loud flapping sound from the sky denied that it was a cloud.
　They looked up into the sky and understood it.
　The demons who saw the sky braced themselves for fear.

　And there was the king of the sky.
　And there appeared an absolute predator.
　The most powerful being in the world, who strikes fear into people's hearts and terrifies even demons.

Even demons can be killed by dragons.

　The dragon turns Lasse's words into facts.
　The dragon opens its mouth and lets a dense stream of magic spout from deep in its throat.
　It was the moment the dragon breath, its most powerful attack, was unleashed.
　The flash of light from the dragon's mouth swept through the demons and demons alike, creating a long, long path across the plain.
