The great turtle's entire body is black and emits an evil aura.
　As if the earth was screaming, a chattering air was flowing around it.
　He was unable to move because of the intimidating feeling, but in that air, Malignant was laughing high in the air.

''Huhahahahaha!　Great, great!　The experiment is a success!

　His whole body is in tatters and he's about to run out of breath, but he's smiling as if he doesn't care.
　They seem to be that elated that they were able to summon this monster.
　On the other hand, we couldn't hide our confusion as we finally swallowed the situation.

''Ah, what is that thing!

The one that was screaming 'testudo'... is it real?

''I can feel the tremendous power.......it's an order of magnitude different from the demons I've fought in the past.

Hmm, that's not very nice. You can't win.

'Aww we might as well run away...'

　Even the Noles have this reaction. Seriously, that's the guardian god.......I can feel the vibe on my skin that this is bad!
　But from the looks of it, it doesn't look like a guardian god.
　I always thought it would be something more like this, something mild, but now the Testudo-sama in front of me looks like a vicious existence.
　Or rather, I'm afraid of him because his fangs are popping out and his eyes are red.

　Unlike us who were making such a fuss, Irina-san was standing there dumbfounded looking at the giant turtle and muttering to herself.

''That........Testudo-sama.......''

　She has a very complicated expression on her face that cannot be taken as either joy or sadness.
　If that giant tortoise is really Testudo-sama, how does she feel as a religious Irina-san?
　Seeing Irina-san who looked puzzled, Malignant threw a voice at her with an amused tone of voice.

''Yes, this is the demon you have been calling your guardian god, Testudo. See the proof of that, see, the fog that covered the island has cleared away, hasn't it?

　Oh, the fog that used to cover the island is really gone!　What the hell happened?

What the hell did you do?

'We concentrated the power of the guy who was spreading across Sevalia. The most important thing is that it wasn't complete because of the premature nature of the situation. By now his blessings are gone and the city might be in an uproar.

　Did you concentrate your efforts?　Was that the light that was being drawn from the surroundings before that turtle appeared?
　
　Kago disappearing and the city is in an uproar?　Don't tell me it's not just this turtle, but something else is going on in all of Sevalia!
　I was about to question him further, but before I could, he looked at Irina and spoke to her.

''This is all thanks to this gemstone you had in your possession. This one had a particularly strong residue of power on it. I wouldn't have been able to call it out immediately without it. Thank you for taking the trouble to bring it to me.

"Oh, no...wow, it's my fault, Master Testudo...

　Irina-san is pale at Marignant's words.
　This guy went out of his way to say something that would make Irina-san feel guilty!

'It's not Irina's fault. We wouldn't have been able to come to this island without it, and if we had taken the time to do so, the result would have been the same anyway. In fact, it's probably better that we're here now.

Okura-san....

'Hwahahahahahaha!　I'm just lucky you guys are here!　This is a masterpiece!　How dare you make such a strong statement under these circumstances!　I'll just give you credit for that congratulatory head!

　Gosh, they were running around desperately until just now, but now that the situation has been reversed, they're provoking me again.
　But in reality, the situation is not good.
　It's a good thing that we're in control of the situation, and what happens to us is entirely determined by what he says and does.
　After finishing laughing for a moment, Malignant took a breath and looked at us.

''Well, even though it's imperfect, it's enough to defeat you guys. The price for putting me in this kind of situation will be paid with your lives. Come on, Testudo!　Let's wipe them out!

　Malignant pointed at us with one hand that was left, and shouted.
　The time has come at last!　And I hurriedly tried to activate the sanctuary of the goddess.......but the giant tortoise that I was supposed to have been ordered to look at didn't even pretend to look at me, and I don't know where its eyes were looking.
　Hm?　There's something wrong with you.
　Malignant didn't expect that reaction, and he began to wince as he watched.

'Well, what's the matter?　Why aren't we moving?　Do it, I said, do it now!　Yes, quick!

　It kept alternating between us and the giant tortoise, pointing frantically at us and getting impatient.
　We didn't know what was going on, so we just kept quiet and watched the situation, and finally the giant tortoise made its move.
　However, it is not directed at us, but at the Malignant who is making a scene in front of us.
　The Marignant, who was staring at us with goggling red eyes, might have sensed something and screamed in fear.

''Well, don't tell me it's you!　No, no, no!　Wait, wait, wait!　Hee--

　Malignant, who let out a pathetic voice, turned his back on us and flew away from the scene.
　But as if to follow it, the giant tortoise turned towards him and opened its huge mouth.
　As a dazzling black light gushes out of its mouth, a roar echoes around the area and a flash of light is released.
　While chattering and scattering shock to the surroundings, the black ultra-thick light mixed with red coloration swallowed the Malignant in the sky above and penetrated far into the sky.
　And when the attack is over, there is still no shadow or shape of the Malignant.
　As if to prove that he has completely disappeared, only the bead that we took from Irina falls from the sky and rolls near us.
　Seeing the scene, I could only stand there and be stunned.

''Hey, what is it?　He wasn't manipulating you, was he?

''Maybe I summoned a demon so strong that I can't even control it. Thank goodness it destroyed itself.

That's true. The mastermind is now gone, and the matter is settled.......and he's looking at you!

　I heard Noor yell and looked at the giant turtle and it looked at me and opened its mouth to look at me the same way it had killed Malignant.
　Yaaaaaayyyyyy!　They're going to shoot us with something that looks like that beam you shot at us!
　I was just relieved that Malignant was hit, and now this!

　I hurriedly tried to activate the Goddess Sanctuary, but I noticed that Irina-san was far away from us before I knew it.
　The bead that had just fallen on her chest was being held in her arms.

Miss Irina!　Come here now!

Yes!

　We also ran over to Irina-san and managed to get to her in time to deploy the Goddess' sanctuary.
　Sure enough, the same flashes of light as before were emitted from the giant turtle and we were swallowed by the black light.
　Even so, the Goddess Sanctuary didn't freak out and stood there to break the flash.
　It's a relief that we survived just in time, but seeing the horrendous attack being played by the sanctuary makes your heart go cold.

　When the attack stopped, there was no vegetation left around us, and the ground on either side of us was deeply gouged out, showing the power of the attack.
　When the giant tortoise saw us, it tilted its head in wonderment at the sight of us.
　Why are you guys still alive?　I'd say. How arrogant you are.



''It's really good that we have the Goddess Sanctuary........ If it wasn't for that, we would have been annihilated by the current blow.

Well, it's all clearing around...

Don't look so scared. We'll be safe inside this building. I don't feel so good.

　Luna is limping, but it can't be helped because I can't go out there.
　.........Well, it's good that you were saved, but what should we do from now on?

What should we do?　I was able to defeat the man who had caused the mutation, but the turtle is still there.

'It seems that even if the summoner disappears, the summoned demon remains. If those are the beings called guardian gods, they don't seem to be harmed, but...

''They've been attacking us........ They also involved Irina-san, who is serving Testudo-sama, and it doesn't look like they are someone we can communicate with.

　It certainly doesn't look like a rational opponent.
　It doesn't look like they attacked us for some misunderstanding, they just look like demons.
　It's possible that Testudo-sama is that kind of monster in the first place, but there's still too little information to judge.
　We should probably defeat him, but we'll have to wait and see.
　When I look at Irina-san, who was glancing up from the conversation, her face is pale and her body is trembling.

''Irina-san, are you alright?　You didn't look so good earlier, sir.

''.........It might not be okay. I didn't expect Testudo-sama to descend right in front of me, so.......that's really Testudo-sama, isn't it?

'Malignant said that but I'll have to check it out.

　We haven't decided that's Master Testudo yet.
　I'll use a trusted and proven status app to look at this.

　------Let's go to the status app.

　...wow, what is this?　Could it be that the status app is buggy?　This number is impossible.
　Yeah, it must be a glitch. Let's reboot and run it again.

　------Let's check again.

　...Yeah, I knew that, but reality is too heartless. You can't do this anymore!　You can't win!　What do you want me to do?

What is it, sir?

Look at this...

What--what?　What is this, sir?　Have you broken the status app?

　Yes, it's tempting to think so. But this is normal.........
　When I show the status app screen to Sisuha and the others, they all have the same expression with their eyebrows furrowed.

'It's not just a feeling, but when you actually see it as a number, it's a tremendous word. This isn't an opponent you can win against in a proper fight.''

''Hm, I'm out of it. Even with my skills, I'm only going to be able to do a small amount of damage.

''It sounds like you aren't a true guardian goddess in terms of name, but I wonder if I should defeat you. Even if I do defeat him, my skills are already expired...

But are you sure you'll be able to beat your guardian god?　That witch before?　He said that something like that gathered strength. That might be gone too if we beat it, you know?

　Estelle had already finished the effect time of the skill and the white aura had disappeared.
　She seems to be feeling a little sick from the recoil, but thanks to the strengthening, it seems to be much easier.
　Hmm, it's pretty tough to beat them in their current state. Even in its perfect state, it's still questionable....
　And I'm also worried about what Freesia is saying.
　What should we do?
