"Kingdom Army Perspective

The Ice Demon is rushing down the central avenue towards the Royal Army.

The first to attack were the ten or so court magicians.

'''- Weapon Shoot!

With the activation of the spell, greatswords, halberds, rocks, iron balls, and other weapons floated up into the air from the carts that were placed beside them.

Next, they were shot out of thin air with the speed of quarrelsome arrows from crossbows.
The target was, of course, the ice demon that was approaching with great speed.

Surprised, the Ice Demon immediately applies the brakes, and at the same time raises its left hand forward.
Shining on his finger is the Ring of the Demon.

Seeing this, the court sorcerers giggled in amusement.

The Weaponshooting spell is a fairly high-level spell that was created by rearranging the Telekinesis spell, but it is not very good as an offensive magic.

Although it is a wizard-level spell of the same rank as the fireball, it can only be used to attack a single person, and the damage it does to a single person is not significantly different from that of the fireball, and it requires a weapon to fly.

The only time it's worth using it is when you want to pinpoint a specific enemy, but for that, you can use Magic Missile, a beginner spell that consumes less magic element.

This is why it's not usually used on the battlefield, as it's a flawed attack spell that's not worthy of attention.

The magic erasing space of the Ring of Extinction is about five meters around the wearer.
The moment you enter this area, you will lose the magic power that you were carrying.

However, only the magic power is lost, not the vector that has already been given.
Weapons of great weight rushed at the ice demon with inertia.

' ?

...Doggone it!

It's also a great way to get the most out of your business.
The blade of the greatsword gouged one of his arms, causing blood to spurt out, and one of his legs took a direct hit from a rock, dealing a heavy blow.

Due to the strong ice armor, the damage did not seem to be enough to cripple the limb, but at the same time, the ice demon staggered and fell to one knee on the ground.

And then...

'''Ooohhhhhh!

Dozens of the kingdom's elite knights astride warhorses charged forward.

They had been running just before the Weapon Shoot was activated, and they rushed in before the Ice Demon could get into position, slamming their weapons into each other as they passed.

The lances, which used the horse's rushing power, and the magic weapons, which had their attack power increased by the magic power, pierced or cut through the solid ice armor, somehow damaging the ice demon.

However, the ice demon is not the only one to be hit.

Even though he was out of position, he was able to parry the attacks of the elites of the war and strike back at the slightest opportunity.

Some of the knights were blown away by the ice demon's fists and crashed into the walls of the surrounding dwellings, becoming motionless.
Others fell from their horses and tumbled to the ground.

The knights who had crossed the ice demon and rushed to the other side showed a slight agitation at the sight of their fallen comrades, but...

'Don't be afraid! We've already done the damage! We can win this battle!

The king, Andrew, sends a message to the knights.

The knights are reenergized by his voice.
They try to charge forward once more, but then...

'......!
'What the hell is that ......?

Slurp, slurp, slurp.

Something grew out of the ice demon's wounds ( ) that were given by the knights or by weapon shooting.

The lump of flesh that grew from the wound stretched out like a thick whip and began to wriggle and sway.
It wavered like the ivy of a plant-type monster, and was appropriately shaped to be called a 'tentacle'.

King Andrew and Knight Commander Dylan chuckled when they saw it.

'You monster. Are they trying to break our hearts by evolving one after another?

'If that's the case, we can't just let them break our hearts as they wish, can we? I think it's just some kind of agony from being damaged.

'Dylan, you have a good point. I'll take that. Look! It looks like he was in so much pain that he peed his tentacles ( )! Don't give him time to change his diaper!

'''Ooohhhh!'''

The knights charge again.

Just before that, a second weapon shot was fired, but it didn't work the second time, and it was all avoided by the ice demon who regained his stance.

And the knights who charged in...

'Aaaaah!
Aaaaah!

As the knights approached, several tentacles sprouted from the ice demon's wounds and used their tips like sharp blades to easily cut through and pierce the plate armor-clad knights.

Twice as many knights as at the time of the previous crossing were thrown to the ground like trash.

Even so, the most elite knights, including Andrew and Dylan, somehow managed to evade the tentacles, wielded their weapons, and ran to the ice demon.

Some of the wielded weapons inflicted further damage on the ice demon, but...

Slurp, slurp, slurp.
More tentacles sprout from the wound.

Seeing this, the Knight Commander Dylan finally said with a grim expression.

'Too bad. They seem to be getting stronger after all. ......'

'I'd like to think I'm damaging it, but it doesn't look like it. James, how do you see it?

Andrew turns to the Commander of the Court Magicians.
Then one of the robed men near the cart carrying the weapons stepped forward and replied.

It's not known about that individual, but there are species of demons that change their form when they are damaged like that. If it's the same as that, then morphing like that is certainly a sign of depleting life force, and the only question is whether or not the damage exceeds the regeneration ability.

'I see. That's good news, but I think that thing's regeneration ability was quite high even before it ate the demons under its command. More importantly, we're going to run out of strength before we can cut it down. I'd like to collect those who are still breathing and have them healed by the subordinate priests, but now...''

Andrew looks at the figures of the knights who have fallen, hit by the fists and blades of the ice demon.



'...... You've got me. I'm not sure what to make of it.

'You're right, we're in trouble. Was it a mistake to come with an elite few?

'Well, if we only had a few heads, it would have only confused the place and increased the number of corpses a hundredfold. It would take someone with a certain level of power to inflict even a scratch.''

'That's right...'

'Well, I guess we'll just have to make do with our strength.

That's what I thought. James, if anything happens to me, I'll leave the rest to you.

'...... I understand. But let's do our best not to let that happen.

James, the Commander of the Court Magicians, who received the order from the King, said so and returned to his post.

King Andrew and Knight Commander Dylan both carried magic swords and firmly pulled on the reins of their war horses.

You'll be able to find a lot more than just a few.
It stomped its feet on the ground and approached slowly.

A third salvo of weapon shots was fired, but they were either evaded with terrifying agility or knocked away by the tentacles.

Regardless of this, Andrew called out in a voice that seemed to echo throughout the city.

'Brave men, follow me! We are the only ones who can defeat the worst of the Demon Lords!



''' Oh, no!

The elite knights of the kingdom's army were about to launch their third assault.
And just as the Demon God of Ice took a leisurely stance to intercept them...

'Dad, get out of the way!

From somewhere came the voice of a boyish but pretty girl.

'Is that Eileen?

Andrew looked up, and saw a huge red shadow rapidly approaching in the cloudy sky.
It was a dragon, a red dragon.

When the dragon flies at an angle to change direction, three small figures can be seen straddling its back.

The huge red flying object is quickly approaching the battlefield.
From above it, the girl's voice again.

'Please, Ildora-san!

I'll take care of it!

The Red Dragon opens its mouth to the Ice Demon.
In its depths, a glittering, scorching energy swirls...

Go-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o!

From the dragon's mouth, a ray of light-like eternal fire shot out.
It licked the cobblestones of the central avenue, turning them into lava in an instant, and closing in on the demon god of ice...

A moment later, the dragon's breath struck the Ice Demon.
