The Immortal King's large black scythe cut through the wind.
　The distance between us and the Immortal King is over ten meters.
　Definitely out of range of the attack.

　Nevertheless, I had a bad feeling about this.

"Avoid!
　Jonny shouted.

"Makoto-san!
　With Anna's shout, I felt a painful tug on my arm.
　The next moment, something black passed in front of me.
　A few bangs fluttered in the air.

What?
　A huge blade roughly gouged out the ground where I was standing a moment ago.
　If you were standing there carefree, you would have been cut in half.

You'll be able to dodge this .......
　I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea.
　What the hell was that attack .......?
　I couldn't see the slash at all.

　You can't get too close.
　While we were watching, the Demon Lord opened his mouth.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea. It's a magic sword technique that was used by heroes as a trump card in the past. Humans think of interesting things. You're welcome to copy it.
　You're the one who revealed it to me!
　That's what I call composure.

I see.
　I'm not sure what the point is in keeping my distance, but Johnny pulled out his sword and slashed at the Demon Lord.

I'll support you!　I'm not sure what to do.
　I'll support you, Chief!" Julietta, a tree warrior of the same elf tribe, followed suit.

"Red-haired elf, you have a good sword. The young elf woman will be a master in another 10 years. It's a pity I can't make her my wife.
　The demon king is talking nonsense, but he's still able to handle the onslaught of the two.

I'm going to buy some time with Jonny and Julietta. I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works for you.
　I'm not sure what to make of it.

　This is a great way to make sure that you get the most out of your time with your family and friends. ...... If possible, I wanted Anna to stay in the back of the line.
　But I guess they felt they couldn't afford to keep their forces intact.
　Then I'll do what I can.

Mr. Wolff!
Sir!　Makoto-dono!
　I'm not sure what to do, but I'll do what I can.

I'll be back!
　I'm not sure what to make of this.
　I'm not just looking at it either.

　--Water Spirit, lend me your strength.

　At my call, the spirits of water gather.
　Actually, it would be quicker if I asked Dea to help me, but her life force has been drained by the comet drop earlier.
　It will be difficult to do so.

"Hmm?　Isn't Undine going to fight?　The boy in the mask.
　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.
　I'm not sure what to make of it.

I'm not sure what to do. Why don't you use that red magic circle yourself?
　To buy time, I answered the conversation with the Demon Lord.
　Of course, the water spirits are still gathering magic power.

　And above all, the presence of the red magic circle surrounding the Demon Lord, which has been growing in the air since a while ago, was eerie.

　It probably had nothing to do with the invisible slash that the Demon Lord used - the slash of teleportation.
　It seems to be some kind of larger magic, but I don't know what it is.
　I don't think she's going to tell me, but I was hoping to get some hints.

This magic takes time. I'll show you later. ...... Hmm, I've never used this spell before either.
　It seems that there is a spell that I haven't shown you yet.
　In the meantime, there is a rain of sword fights and magic bows from Jonny.
　The wood warrior's fast thrusts.
　The light hero's continuous slashes.

　It's not getting through at all.
　The Demon Lord was clearly cutting corners.
　I don't know why he's cutting corners, but every minute now is a lifeline for us.

(Mr. Wolff, can you go to ......?
(Yes, I'm fine.)
　I'll signal with my eyes to Mr. Worf.


"Disperse!
　I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.
　The two quickly followed suit.


"Hmm, what do you have to show me?
　The demon king, Bifrons, was looking at them with amusement.




"Whoa, whoa, whoa!
　Worf, the hero of the earth, unleashed a magic sword slash toward the well of the Demon King's castle.


　--Water Magic, Comet Drop


　I fired my second comet drop of the day at the same time.
　The power of the comet drop is much lower than the previous one because I didn't borrow the power of the Great Spirit of Water, but this time my goal is just to destroy the top of the castle.
　I'm sure you'll be able to figure out how to get the best out of it.


　The words of Master Ila came back to my mind.


"The Immortal King has overcome his weaknesses over the years. "Incense", "running water", "silver", "oil and fire", ......, most of them are ineffective against that demon king. ....... But not "Sunlight". You can't overcome that one as long as you are undead. You know what you have to do, right?　You.
　Ila said as she looked around at the warriors of the Great Labyrinth.

　We made a plan accordingly.

　As a first step, I will use my spirit magic to temporarily blow away the dark cloud.
　If I could have, I would have destroyed the castle at that time, but I couldn't.

　The Immortal King (Bifrost) was inside the castle, so the only way to get him out was to bring him outside for the sun to shine on him.
　But that would be difficult.
　So, why don't we find out where he is and break the ceiling?

　We can expose Bifrost, the king of the undead, to the sun's rays.

　It was a simple plan, but I didn't have any other ideas.

　Currently, the Demon Lord is isolated and the demons under his command should not be able to come to his rescue due to the sun's rays and the interference of the warriors of the Great Labyrinth and the Iron Heroes.
　For support, there are Ancient Dragons led by Mer and the Great Sage (Momo).

　Everything's fine.

Isn't it?　Goddess of Destiny.

　I can't hear the voice of the Goddess of Fate who's always nagging me.
　I was a little worried about that. 　
　I'm sure she'll be fine with Mel guarding her.


　Boom!　The sound of explosions echoed twice.


　It was the sound of the impact of the magic sword of Worf and the sound of my spirit magic piercing the castle.
　Then the ground shook violently, and the ceiling and walls collapsed.
　The dust made it impossible to see the scenery around me.

"Makoto-san!　Be careful!
　Anna, the hero of light, raised her sword to protect me.

"Spirit of the Wind.
　The dust cleared instantly at the sound of Jonny's voice.
　In the distance, I can see the brave men of the trees and the brave men of the earth.
　Everyone is safe.

　At that moment, I felt the heavy air inside the castle being blown through by the air outside.

　There was a wind blowing inside the castle.
　There was a huge wind hole in the ceiling.

"Yes!
　I heard the voice of Julietta, the wooden hero.
　I was about to make a gut-punch, too, when I noticed a sense of discomfort.

　The time now is midday.

　We chose the time to defeat the Demon Lord just before the sun was at its highest.
　It's been less than an hour since we entered the castle.

　So if we break the ceiling, the sun should shine through.
　But the light is much weaker than I imagined.

(The dark cloud has returned: ......?)

　The King of the Immortals specializes in regeneration.
　Is that why the red magic circle was there?


　I looked up to make sure. ............ I stopped thinking for a moment.


(...... what?　...... Why?
　What did I do wrong?　

What did I do wrong?
　I'm not sure what to do.


　I'm not sure what to do.


　I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.
