When Luciel was sleeping on Lumina's lap pillow, changes began to appear in the huge magic circles that had appeared in the skies above various locations.
　The moment the magic circle emitted a red-black light, demons began to appear one after another.
　Seeing the situation, Squire Luciel and those who prided themselves on being his friends began to move at once.

　--Yenis--.　
　You will be able to find out if you are a good candidate for the job. I jumped out of the way.
　The two battlehorses clinging to the two battlehorses, Hatri and Alice, followed Cressia from behind.

'You two were supposed to stay behind in force to defend Yenis, right?
"It's not a gentleman's place to send a girl to her death alone when she's in love with you.
'I can't hesitate when the bonus stage is lying right in front of me,'
　Cressia decided that their wills were so firm that even if they could be persuaded, it would take a lot of time.

''I was entrusted by Luciel-sama with the defense of Yenis. Therefore, I will prioritize defeating as many enemies as possible rather than defending the two of you.
That is exactly the kind of behavior that befits the name of the Princess Superior Bow. I'm feeling very tingly, that I am.
I've got Schwartz to help me when the need arises.
Well let's hurry up then.　
　Cresia smiled a little and told her that and let the battle horse run.
　In fact, Cresia was also feeling uneasy about heading to the magic circle alone.
　And yet, it was so funny to see Hattori, who didn't waver in this situation, and who, as usual, said something a little unpleasant, and was relieved of any unnecessary tension.

　And when the three of them reached the vicinity of the giant magic circle, the giant magic circle began to glow red-black again.


　--Rockford--　　　
　Paula and Lythian have been waiting for the demons and demonkind to appear ever since the giant magic circle appeared, and now they've been waiting for them.
　When they saw the glowing red-black magic circle, they were convinced that it was time for the giant golem group, the Lucielands, to activate it.
　However, something that looks like a demon came out of the magic circle and immediately started burning blue-white, and the sight of magical stones falling forced them to choose to wait.

''Mm........I was too quick to tell Luciel that the magic circle was created.
It can't be helped. If the demons and demonkind are scattered from the magic circle, there will be an extraordinary amount of damage.
'I can't wait to try Lucielands...'
Your time will come. Besides, you won't see the magic stones falling like rain many times.
''Indeed........ With that many, I could make many of my favorite magic tools.
''I'd like to say that's up to Luciel-sama as well, but we're basically told that we can make anything other than magic tools that specialize in destruction...''
　The two of them watched the scene of magic stones raining down on them as they each came up with their new magic tools.
　And when the huge magic circle began to glow again, they watched as a huge arm grabbed the magic circle and tried to come out of it, and they began to shift the giant golem into its activated state.


　--Lubruk Kingdom--

　As soon as the huge magic circle appeared, Lord Wisdom, who had risen to commander of the kingdom's armies after marrying the third princess of Rubruk, sent a message to each town and village ordering them not to run away if a monster or demon tribe appeared.
　And then Keti and Kefin were exchanging ideas about how to deal with the two magicians that had appeared in the rubruk kingdom.

''So that huge magic formation floating above us is to be told not to do anything until Sage Luciel-sama tells us to do so?''
'No. I'm saying that if you run your army poorly, you'll only cause more damage and more trouble.
　As soon as he telepathically spoke to Luciel, Sir Wisdom called Keti and Kefin and told them that he wanted to send the kingdom's armies against one of their huge magic circles and ask Keti and Kefin to take the other.
　But the two men quickly dismissed it.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the future.

'I understand that Lord Wisdom has a position to take. But how can we disregard the fact that in the months after we found out that the evil gods were going to set this up, Luciel-sama worked so hard to prevent any damage...''
So all we can do then is wait and see?
'The huge magic circle to the west is ours to go to. The magic circle to the south is in Grandle's territory, so Grandle has someone to deal with it.
'Well, that's what I mean. It means that Lord Wisdom would be most desirable to act to alleviate some of the public's fears.
''Well......... But it must be the right thing to do....
That's good.
I'll take care of it.
　Keti nodded in satisfaction, and Kefin, relieved, left for the western magic circle with a determination to never let Keti alone die.

　--The Labyrinth of Plotting--

　At the entrance to the labyrinth of intrigue along the border of Rubruk and Glandle, Bazak, once called by the street name of the Abyss and awe-inspiringly called the Abyss, stared at the huge magic circle floating in the sky, burning magic grass in his pipe and spitting out purple smoke.
''I did hear there was something going on in the labyrinth, but I didn't think it was outside.... Even so, is it a sign of trust to let him deal with this place by himself, or.......
　At that time, the huge magic circle glowed red-black and a demon came out of the magic circle, but it was burned by pale flames and disappeared.
''Well, I guess he's just a softie........ Even so, it looks a little interesting to analyze that magic circle.''
　In the meantime, Bazak saw the magic circle glowing red-black again and began chanting his newly developed magic as his level increased.


　--Ilmasia Empire--.

　While skillfully maneuvering the airship, Dolan fired the main gun, which was tinged with holy attribute magic power, at the magic circle.
　Then the main gun, which was further amplified by the sanctuary ward that Luciel had put in place, was sucked into the magic circle.
I thought I had caught the magic circle for sure, what is going on?
I'm sure it hit the magic circle itself. But if it didn't interfere with the magic circle, then it must have jumped out of the magic circle's connected end... that's what I'm guessing.
''I agree with Nanya's opinion. Perhaps it could have been a preemptive strike against the Demon Nation.
　Doran tilted his head at the main gun that didn't interfere with the magic circle, and that opinion came from Nanya and Lyna.
　If that were true, Doran thought, it might have been a little quicker.
'Anyway, aim the secondary cannons so that they can hit them at any time, and re-fill the main cannons with holy attribute magic power.
Yes, sir.
　As the two of them busily moved around the ship, Doran kept his eyes on the magic circle and decided to consider the worst case scenario.
　And when the magic circle began to glow reddish-black again, Dolan let his main and four secondary guns fire in unison and watched it happen.


　--Blange--

　Brod and Lionel still hadn't been able to defeat the only remaining miasma-clad knight.
　It's not just that they were struggling. You will be able to get a good deal more information about the miasma.
　The miasma is a miasma that has been around for a long time, and it can be a very rare occurrence.　　　

''Eeeee, it's depressing...''
'It's no surprise that there's an obstacle at the end of the induction, but...'
Should we wipe out the entire castle?
I wish you had suggested that before you were led underground like this.
　Since the two of them possess the search for enemies skills, it was easy to chase the fleeing knight.
　However, they were lured into the palace and led underground as if they hadn't expected such a thing.
　In addition, the two of them fought to refrain from killing non-combatants with their clothing as much as possible, thinking that Luciel might be able to heal those who had become demonized or undead.
　This put him under a fair amount of stress, and the emotions from Brod and the polite language from Lionel disappeared.
　Finally, when they were cornered, what awaited them was a huge doorway, but they were hesitant to proceed on the spot.

''War demon.......if I'm not mistaken....
''Ah........there's an evil god. And ten of them are as powerful as the knight from earlier........
　Sweat ran down from their foreheads.

''Well I finally understand ... the reason I'm alive and why ...''
You're not going to say it's for the sake of fighting in this place, are you?
What?
'That's fine then......... To me, even this is just a passing phase. I'm sure that Luciel-sama will soon be involved in something interesting again. Leave the rest to me.
"...no!　This is just a passing point for me too. I'm young again and this ain't gonna be the end of the road for me!　But I just thought this was a break and that I could finally pay my debt.
We'll put it that way. Besides, I have a tendency to pay back the debt tenfold.
'Heh, well, let's get this over with before Luciel gets here.
Yeah.
　They open a huge door as they talk to each other....
　And beyond their gaze--.
