I - the Wizard Magnus - arrived late to the throne room to confront General Delvembro.
　The blue-black-skinned fellow's eerie, golden eyes were watching me intently.

''Hmm.... A level 32 'wizard'........ Well, well, well........

　He monologues, unable to hide his admiration.
　Then he continued.

"Come work for me, wizard, and I will give you half of Rakstad. Be my man, and you will have half of Rakstad!

"No.

　I responded immediately and quietly raised the staff of the Great Magic Way.
　Gladius, who was standing by my side, stepped forward slightly so that he could protect me at all times.

　Seeing our attitude, Delvembro loudly laughed with amusement from the bottom of his stomach.

''Kukukuk. Hahahahaha. Gwahahahahaha!　Well, it has to be!　Very well. Then I'll give you a taste of what this Fiendish General is capable of. Then I'll ask you the same question again.
Is this the kind of frightening shit you peddle?
'Hahaha!　Your bluster!

　Delvembro stood up from his throne somewhat.
　He hadn't changed his mind during the fight with Eugene and the others.

'Fist blow!

　The huge left hand that was nipping at Misha's heels - Delvenbro's alter ego, according to the Strategy Book, named Rubenreft - changed its aim and rushed toward me at high speed.
　Delvenbro's most annoying special ability, Fistbind, is a no-questions-asked restraining move, just as a female martial artist of the Cat People (Ketsey) is currently trapped in her right hand, but unfortunately it doesn't work on me at level 32.
　That's why Del Bembro attacked with the Fist Blow, a simple and unmatched striking attack.

Gladius.

　I quietly called out my trusty partner's name.
　With that, the battle golem, which took the form of a steel brown bear, stood in front of me and caught the flying giant fist with its entire body.
　There was a tremendous impact, and Gradius' huge body creaked. Fine cracks are created here and there. The damage is not light.
　But even so, the reliable partner somehow managed to withstand the attack of one of the "eight demon generals".
　Today, too, he served as my bodyguard.

　This is the power of the masterpiece of a golem forged by Bazelfr, the master craftsman of Rakstad!
　It's his spirit, inscribed, never mass-produced, "real" excellence!

Well done, Gladius.

　I nodded to my partner and began chanting the spell with relief.
　Rubenleft is vulnerable to the Fire Attribute and Rubenlight is vulnerable to the Ice Attribute.
　I'm sure it's an "all too common" pattern, but if it weren't for the strategy book, I would have had to waste my time looking it up and wasting my battle time before I could be sure.
　I cast Fire IV and attacked Rubenleft, who was fighting with Gradius.
　Of course, I've already arranged for a single-attack to keep Gradius out of it.

　Delvenbro's main body is level 40, and this left-handed Rubenleft and the right-handed Rubenwright are treated as two different monsters, and their levels are different as well.
　Even so, they're three levels behind me. Normally, they should be higher.
　However, I'm not just a level 32. I've been critically doped up with various fruits that increase my status when I was destrenting.
　In addition, I also benefited from the Grand Magic Staff, a rank S equipment that increased the power of attack magic by 73%.
　I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results.
　In a short period of time, I had cut its HP down to 0 and made it sink to zero.
　Misha, more than anything else, Delvenbro is blindingly obvious.

''Su, great........''
"You can never be too careful with a magical attack.

　I smiled wryly at Misha and Delvembro, who had lost their voices.

'Here's where the surprise comes in, eh?
What the hell...?

　I didn't expect someone to go this far with a human touch, and in front of Delvenbro, who couldn't hide his agitation, I took out a new rare item.
In the opposite hand of holding the Great Magic Wand, I held a short tin (wand).
　It was the loot (drop item) from the powerful boss Bondragon, the one I killed in the Great Moleum Tunnel, the King of the Dead Dragon's Tin.
　Using its special effect, I turned the defeated Rubenreft into an undead monster.
　That's right... I've turned Delvenbro's altered body into my handiwork!

You've got this deep inside of you...!

　Delvenbro shouted in amazement.
　I didn't care if it was fine or not, I wielded the King of the Dead Dragon's Tin as if it were a commanding wand and called out to the undead Rubenreft.
　It takes a lot of MP to maintain it, but at level 32 and with my spirit fully doped, I could keep it up for a week if I wanted to.

"Yeah, I'm not paying attention to the little fry anymore!

　Delvenbro is enraged.
　He has the female martial artist of the cat people (Ketsey) in custody, letting the Rubenwright break his restraints and intercept the undead Rubenreft instead.
　Originally, Ruben Light and Ruben Left are evenly matched monsters, so we start a good match.
　But we have my support!
　While supporting the undead Rubenleft with buffs using enhancement magic, I also hit Rubenlight with Freeze IV.
　I continue to cast long spells in rapid succession, but they don't tch off at all. Since my days of studying in the academy, I've been training differently from the average person.

　Finally, he also sinks the Ruben Light, which he also undetects with the Corpse Dragon King Tin, controlling and using it.
　Towards Delvenbro, he uses the undead Rubenleft and Rubenlight to pin him down from both sides.
　Your style of battling with your body is now avenged, Delvenbro!
　This fight is an all-out effort, with everything I've cultivated to date!

'Stupid ... stupid ... stupid ... stupid ah!'

　Cornered by the human-like atmosphere, Delvembro was on the verge of going insane.
　He was forced to engage, with his stake-like left and right arms, with his original left and right hands.
　Undead Rubenlight & Rubenleft are still at level 35, so there's no way they're going to be able to compete with Delvenbro's main body at 40. I'm not overconfident there either, although I'm buffing them all over with enhancement magic.
　However, that doesn't mean Delvenbro can't be easily beaten back, either. It will take time.
　In the meantime, I'm going to use my attack magic to hit Del Bembro.
　Its weakest attribute is lightning.

Tilt-ha-un-del-e-rhen!

　I cast Thunder IV, which I had just learned to do.
　As a result of defeating Ruben Left and Ruben Light in succession, which were treated as level 35 mid-boss monsters, my level had also risen to 34.
　This is another drawback of Dembembembro's fighting style, which uses a minute body.
Triple the power, single attack, increased the rate of congregation............ It flies through the air like a flight and shoots at Del Bembro.



　I did a level 40 boss monster and made him scream.
　But he was no different.
While being attacked with the "weakness attribute", he swung his stake from side to side with the fierce expression of an evil demon, and finally crushed the undetected Rubenlite into pieces.
　I had lost one of my pawns.
With the effect of the Corpse Dragon's King Tin, it's impossible to reunite me into undead!

Great job, General Demon Fist!
'Of course!　Don't lick me, humanity - no, the great wizard!

　Me and Denverbro exchanged words and bumped into each other with all our strength.

Both Magnus and Delvembro.........
It's like watching a battle of the gods....

　Misha and a female martial artist from the Cat People (Ketsey) were completely out of the loop, and they were stunned to death.

　I summoned my deadly strength to keep them at bay.
　Delvenbro finally crushed the undead Rubenleft.
　But I had also shaved off the HP of his body to zero.
　But--

'Hwahahahahahahahahaha!　It's no use, my great wizard!

　Delvembro was still standing with his HP bottoming out.
　He could afford to laugh loudly.

''Why, that's funny!
That doesn't make sense.
Don't you idiots, don't apply your humanistic logic to me!

　Delvembro is proud of his victory.
　Yes, you can't kill this guy just by setting his HP to 0.
　There was one more condition for killing it.
　Del Bembro spoke with great pride.

I have my own heart removed from my body and hidden somewhere in this castle. As long as that heart is alive and well, I am immortal!

　I replied blandly.

''A-ha-ha-ha, you know what you're doing...''
!

　When Delvembro was surprised, I took out an item.
　Thanks to Eugene's folly, I was able to reach the end of the pit.
　Buried and hidden among a great many human bones--
　The crystal eerily pulsates and flickers repeatedly.
　I checked the guidebooks thoroughly.

　This is the Heart of Delvembro.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...

　Delvembro's face was twisted in despair as he saw the Heart in my grasp.

'No!　Stop it!　Please don't break it, for God's sake, don't break it, yeah!

"No.

　I slammed his heart against the floor as hard as I could.
　The crystal, which pulsated and flickered eerily, fragilely shattered.

''Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam!!!!!

　Delvembro let out a scream of despair and struggled to throw his massive body out of the way.

　Immediately, Misha and the female martial artist embraced him in a very impressed manner.

'You did it, Magnus!　I never thought I'd actually win a solo!
You're amazing!　You saved my life!　I'm in love with you!

　But I just stared blankly at Delvembro as he lay there, while the two beautiful girls rubbed me down.
　He said one last word at the end: "....

''I ... will not ... die ... for free ...'' ...are...

　In contrast, I spoke to myself.
