Mr. Remeghton.

　The voice of 【Black Mage】 and 【Black Searcher】 Folus, a cow man's 【Black Mage】 and under the direct control of the Demon King's army.

''Ah.''

　I know what he wants to tell you.
　[Brave man of the storm] An intruder other than Aerial appeared. It was almost at the same time.
　[Hero of the Gale] Yuan, [Hero of the Magic Sword] Helvall, [Hero of the Lightning] Skaha, [Hero of the Lake] Wraith, and [Destroyer] Fran.

　All the 【Brave Men】 who participated in the raid battle have reached this point.
　I stood up and looked down at them.

''I'm sure you guys are thinking this. ''It's the Demon King next.'' ''We will defeat the Demon King ourselves. I guess I need to tell you how stupid that is.

　In the first, third and fifth places, the four great spirit contractors and the [Destroyer] tag team.
　These members are close to the strongest lineup that the humanity side can prepare (...).

　And in fact, they've been invaded to the final area of the tenth layer.
　If I have any regrets about the Phoenix Party fight, it's this.
　I couldn't be more satisfied with the fight against my best friend, but I thought it was a failure from a defensive standpoint.

　What I regret is that I gave the viewers too many opinions, such as, "It was close," or "It was so close," or "We almost captured the Demon King's Castle.
　It made a lot of fans think that "it was close enough to capture the Demon King's Castle".
　If we stop them from attacking here, they will say it again.

　The victory I lead is one of building up a strategy.
　A different kind of overwhelming violence from the overwhelming violence that all the higher level [brave men] have.

''Ho, that's something to look forward to.''

　Aerial-san is laughing.
　While effortlessly preventing the surprise attack using [The Greatest Hero] Ellie-san's mirage with the holy sword.

　The retreat (...) up to this point was originally supposed to be about summoning your subordinates in line with the enemy's attack, and then leisurely returning to the final area yourself.
　But now, with Aerial-san's pursuit, it's all gone awry.

　It's no longer enough for us to annihilate the enemy after a fierce battle - it's not enough.
　We had to make a strong impression on them, and on the audience.

　No matter what happens, the Demon King's Castle will never fall.
　No one could kill the king of the Demon King's Castle.
　For that, it was necessary to do so.

　There's no one else who can do it but him.
　My right arm is covered with a black substance. It is hard, and at the elbow it grows as a cone-shaped projection.

I see... that's your horn.

　As expected of top-tier fierce men, no one would be intimidated by this magical power.
　But even so, it's only the people with the strength to understand this.
　The magic power in my horn is not empty.

　Exhausted by the battle of the Phoenix?　Yeah, I did. I was blown away.
　Wasn't that the best you could do against Nicola?　Yeah, I wasn't magical enough then.
　And now.

　I had mastered the new technique of absorbing the magic power of the dungeon core - I had mastered it.
　Space trembles.

'Ha-ha. That's good, Remeghton!

　Floating by wind magic and approaching here - Wraith-kun.
　Skaha-san and Ewan-kun draw their holy swords and Helu-san draws her magic sword.
　Fran-san starts running to chase after her childhood friend.

　I move to the opposite side of Folus, to form a waiting position on both sides of the chair with him.
　Then I poured the magic power into the ring.
　The magic power that was purified and condensed by the horns is secretly lost.

''-- Over here (,,,,)''

　The world screamed as its presence appeared across space.
　It's different from the usual.
　It is not summoned in the middle. The task of opening a path for her to pass through is such a tremendous one.
　Suddenly, there was a crack in the space in front of the throne.

''You have summoned me, my chief of staff.

　A small hand emerges from the crack. It peeled away space as if it were a shell to break, and then it appeared.

　Red hair over the height of its body, flaming twin eyes, a pair of black horns.
　No one is allowed to underestimate the diminutive physique of a childish girl.
　You can't expect anyone to talk like that when exposed to the overwhelming magical power released by the king.

"Do you want to massacre me?

No, my king. I ask you to show your authority with these men.

　I'm not going to ask the Demon King to do the same thing as I did with my master.
　The Demon King alone will annihilate the entire enemy. It's true that it will also be named impregnable.
　But we're going to win on our own. We don't want to destroy the premise of this game being an entertainment made by everyone.

　However, while the adventurers will throw in the highest-strength 【Brave Man】 from the beginning, the demons will be intercepted by the 【Demon King】 who reaches the deepest part of the enemy.
　It's a well-known fact that the master is no longer in the Demon King's castle.
　So, it was necessary to teach him once.

　[Demon King] Lucifer has indeed abdicated his throne.
　However, he said that the Demon King's Castle was still the same, and that there was the strongest existence in the Demon King's Castle that forced the adventurers to fight forever.

''Hou........''

　Lucy-san.........no, I should call her by her dungeon name.
　[Demon King] Lucifer-sama twists his lips in amusement.

''You are a loyal subject, aren't you? Very well, my dearest demon wish. I'll show you the difference between us with five fingers.

　The figure of the Demon King disappeared.
　A moment later, the adventurers' shouts echoed.
　Aerial-san, Skaha-san, Ewan-kun and the other three said the same words.


''Spirit........!

　His instincts must have sensed it. He needed the magic of the spirits immediately.
　However.

. clamor.　

　Hel-san's magic sword, Skaha-san's and Ewan-kun's holy swords - shattered one after another.
　With my eyes, I was too fast to follow it.
　Only the crimson afterglow tells me that there is a Demon Lord running through the field.

''Hmm, that's as hard as it gets.

　Only Aerial-san's holy sword managed to keep its sword shape.
　But it's full of cracks.
　It also shatters and falls apart when he turns around to fight the Demon King.

　Even the blessing of the wind spirit body only lasts for a few seconds longer.
　Five fingers folded...........................without counting five, the adventurer's weapon was destroyed.

"I'm going home. I'll never see your faces again.

　The Demon King says we will win. So they won't be able to see the Demon King's face again.

"Wait!

　A lightning bolt flashed.
　Skaha-san's right foot, clad in a lightning strike, reappeared in the space where the Demon King-sama had been standing a moment ago.
　The kick released at the speed of lightning struck out.
　Our king is standing soundlessly behind Mr. Skaha.

"Did you hear me?　You'll be dealing with my children...

"'Thunderstorm Area, Lead Needle'.

"M

　When I thought Skaha-san's figure had disappeared, electric light blinked with tremendous frequency around the Demon Lord.
　The indiscriminate range attack, the 'Xunlighting Area', Skaha-san can completely control it.
　This is a technique developed from there, a technique that hits thunderbolts from all directions towards a single target.......is it?

　The Demon King-sama's figure appears to be blurred.
　Just like I was able to defend myself against Phoenix's 'Flame of the Gods', I can protect myself from magic with my dense magic power.
　The Demon King-sama may be wearing it like armor.

''Hey, hey, Skaha!　Mix me in!

　Ms. Helle starts to run. I summon her into its orbit.

"Come on...--Verito.

　Seeing the【Mushinin】woman who appeared, Helu-san stops and immediately makes a happy face.

''.........hmmm, you're that one, as I recall. You were in a tag team tournament with Leme.

'It's an honour to be known by the third [brave man].

　When it was a tag team tournament, it was a special rule and the demon magical body (avatar) was okay, but this time it's a dungeon attack. The mushikin-ness is made up for with ornaments, and it's further disguised by wearing a loose costume.

　The powerful arm of Silver Sand] Berito. The inside is 【Brave Man of Silver Ridge】Nicola.
　My friend, my precious fan, my partner who fought with me in tag team tournaments.

''You got a job at the Demon King's Castle?''

Just this once. I was told I could fight you.

That's very nice of you to say. I'm afraid my magic sword has just been broken. But I think I can still entertain you, can't I?　--Do you know what my sorcery is all about?

''Of course I do. Spirits don't like the curse of the magic sword. As long as you're equipped with the magic sword, they won't get angry and lend a hand, right?

'Oh?　You know your stuff. It's true. I don't get to use it often, but it's the same earth attribute as yours.

　Ms. Helle spreads her arms out, and a rock covers her arm.

'Fight (this), you like it?　Let's do it.

　The Demon Swordless [Demon Sword Hero] smiles belligerently as he claps his fists together.

''I'll be happy to oblige.''

　The 'White Silver' covers both of Belito's arms.

''If the Demon King ignores me, then you're the one who's going to deal with me?

　Wraith, flying through the air and closing in on me.
　I'm his enemy now. I'll tell you what I think as a member of the Demon King's Army Staff.

"You're out of the question, you don't deserve to be brave...

...What?

Come on, Benue...

　That flame was blue.
　A demon. Its two horns sprouted from the side of its head to the back.
　Its hair was deep blue and very long.
　Covering its entire face was a metallic mask.

　【Demons of Immortality(Shriners)】Benou.
　It's the avatar of Fenix, the hero of the flame.

"He's a little boy who doesn't even realize his own folly, roast him a little.

"As you wish.

　Spewing out flames, Benue flew through the sky.

''.......Who are you? I want to fight Remegeton.

We can't let anyone through without qualifications.

''I'm a [brave] man. I'll slay the demons and let my friends win.

You talk so proudly about something you haven't done.

You know we're both confused, right? Anyway, let's do it.

　Storm winds swirled and blue flames erupted.
　Unbeknownst to many, a battle between the four great spirit contractors was about to begin.

''Hmm, it's getting lively.''

　The moment Mr. Aerial clapped his hands with a pop, the laws of the world were distorted.

''Yuan, wind blades on all sides.

Yes!

　The holy sword is only a sword with a blessing.
　Spiritual arts can be used the same way.

　The wind blades that Ewan-kun released from his surroundings in all directions, each slashed the demons in the 'Beginner's and Beginning Dungeon' from the front (,) respectively.

''Fran, you can flail as you please.''

　As Fran-san unleashed a kick into the void, only her foot appeared in front of the orc dungeon master [Generous Sage] Ronoway, and a powerful blow exploded into his chest.
　While retreating greatly, Ronoway endures it.

　The arrows fired by [Zero Horseman] Orobus disappear in the middle, and somehow - they attack her from behind.
　The arrows were bounced off thanks to the orcs around them setting up their shields on the spur of the moment, but they were upset by the bizarre events.
　But they should know soon enough. The images from the ninth layer confirmed it.

　Spatial control that is self-explanatory. One of the deepest depths of the Spiritual Arts, the 'Celestial Box Garden'.


"Now, Mr. Remeghton, how do you intend to defeat me?


　In response to his question, I--.
