(Chloe's perspective)

　Tsk!　Lina and the others beat us to it........

　The controlled realm we are invading is already at the end of the 10th level. It's probably only a matter of time before they secure the 【True Core】 and dedicate this dominant realm to their master.

　And just when I was thinking that - at the end, the biggest obstacle stood in front of me.

　Seven high-ranked enemies, mainly human-sized fairies that were imbued with evil magical power, stood in our path.

　The seven high-ranking enemies - three high pixies and four goblin generals - are enemies that we have fought to the death.

　But ... that fairy is not good. This is not an easy enemy to deal with, a high pixie. She's an existence just like her master - the Demon King.

　This isn't the first time I've faced a Demon Lord. What's more, he's buried a number of Demon Kings.

　However, the Demon King in front of me was in a different dimension than the Demon Kings I've buried until now.......

''Hmph. It's nice to meet you.

　The threat in front of us - Demon King Alisa smiles at us.

　We don't respond to Demon King Alisa's voice, but tighten our grip on the weapon in our hands.

''Oh?　What do you say?　After raiding my area of control so badly I wonder if you don't even say hello?

　Can we win?　

''You're so brusque, aren't you? Well, it's fine. Die!''

　--!

　The Demon King Alisa cut off the conversation and swung down the staff in her hand.

''Kuh?　Spread out!''

　I will instruct my friends and my staff to prepare for battle readiness.

Hope!
Hey!

　Hope, who has turned into a werewolf, thrusts out her sharp claws and approaches the Demon King Arisa. Even though she's a Demon King, she's only a fairy. As long as you get close you can find a chance to win!

　They outnumber us by 8 to 23, and the advantage is ours!

"You are to destroy all enemies in the vicinity!

　I instructed my companions - Silver, Blue, Noir, Rouge, Rouge and their subordinates, excluding the Dark High Elves under my direct control - to clear the dew around them so that Hope could focus on Demon King Alisa.

　Together with the Dark High Elves under my command, I readied my bow and set my sights on Demon King Alisa.

　Hope, who has excellent speed, approaches Demon King Arisa before anyone else and tries to wield her prized, sharp claws....

''Huh?　You're a cheeky little dog.

　Hope was struck by Demon King Alisa's staff, which was wielded faster than she could wield her prized claws.

''Hmph. Who says I can't do meatballing--''

　With a smile on my face, the hand holding the staff of Demon King Arisa, who was about to launch a chase to Hope, was shot through by the bow and arrow I fired.

''--?　That hurts!　--High pressure!

　Along with Demon King Alisa's angry impregnated voice, the wind's magic power containing an enormous amount of magic power is closing in on me.

　Quickly, the Living Mail leaps forward in front of me, and when the wind's magical power is consumed by its body, its strong iron body is crushed by the pressure of the wind. The Living Mail crushed by the pressure of the wind doesn't disappear, but tries boldly to continue my shield with its crushed iron body.......

''Huh?　That's a tough toy to play with.

　

　Will I be able to defeat the beings in front of me...?

　I had a trickle of sweat running down my cheeks.


　◆


　It had been an hour since they had started fighting to the death with the Demon King Alisa.

　In addition to eight Living Mail and six Ogre Soldiers, eight Living Mail and six Ogre Soldiers, the Ware Tigers and Goblin Snipers, who were under strict orders from their masters not to die, had been killed. My surviving comrades, myself included, were wounded to death. My family member, Hope, was lacerated all over her body, and Silver, whose specialty was defense, had suffered damage in several parts of her armor.

　In contrast, this one only managed to bury two high pixies.

　I'm sorry Master.........

　It seems that Chloe is unable to stay with Master's high-pixie until the end. Please forgive me for failing to fulfill my Master's favor........

　Preparing myself for death, I change my bow's aim from Demon King Arisa to the High Pixie, which is the only one left.

　I will not be able to defeat Demon King Arisa, but I can only bury as many enemies as possible!

　I make a desperate decision and squeeze the bowstring........

　--Chloe!　Pull back!

　--!

　An order from the master echoes in my head.

　

　Nah, why.........?

　As if to follow me four of our companions leave the battlefield together.

　The four companions who left with me - Blue, Noir, Rouge, and Dark High Elf.

　Why!　Why?

　The three remaining companions - Silver, Hope, and the Kobold Lancer under Silver's command - stand in front of the enemy to protect us.

''Blue!　Master Theon and I'm leaving Chloe in your hands.

　Silver shouts out to us as we run away.

'Noir!　Rouge!　You're going to have to take care of Lady Theon for me... and protect Chloe.

　Hope shouts out to us as we run away.

'Master Zion. Finally, thank you for the cause. I am Silver-Zion!'
Master Theon. Thank you for your supreme command. My name is Hope-Theon!

"I'm not going to let you pass this point!

'Silvaaaa!　Ho-ho-ho-op!

　Those idiots.......... Why do you both have to worry about me......... Leave me in charge of Blue?　It's the other way around!　Noir and rouge to protect me?　The other way around!　Those idiots.....　

　I wasn't even allowed to turn around to face the idiots who were heading for the land of the dead, so I obeyed my master's orders and ran off.


　◇


　Two days later.

　We had safely escaped from the Demon King Arisa's domain and returned to our master.
