Regal and the Second Army are in Jiregga, the second city of the demon world.
　Likewise, Judah and the Fifth Army were in the third city of Bardos.

　Each of them received orders from the Demon King Freed and went to intercept the heroes.

''Those two will be safe.

　Feria took a breath.

　Unlike herself, whose direct combat power wasn't that great, both Regal and Judas possessed the strongest class of power in the demon world.
　No matter how strong the human heroes are, they will surely defeat them.

''Don't let your guard down, Maj. Gen. Feria.

　Stella advised in a firm tone.

'If the second and third waves have come, there's no reason to believe that the fourth wave won't come. We, too, must prepare for an enemy attack.
But the last time we had an invasion, it was only a hundred men. Can they send that many people to the Demon World in just three months?
''The wards that protect the demon world are so strong that not even a god can break through them. In my opinion, it's possible to create a few cracks in it, but it would be extremely difficult to create a rift large enough to allow someone with a strong holy nature to enter.

　Tsukuyomi explained matter-of-factly.

　It's like a machine, she thought.
　This modified life form (homunculus), which I don't know what it was thinking, was not good for Feria.

''I hope strong people don't come as much as possible. I'd rather fantasize, live in peace, and fantasize about such things.''

　And this is Olivier.
　The fox ears and tail bounce prettily with a twitch.

'Delusional...nice.

　Felia licked her lips with her tongue.

Then I'm going to have an intense night with the Demon Lord.....
Wait, Feria. What dubious delusions you have, Feriah?
You're free to think and feel.
It's disrespectful. It's generally a time of emergency. I don't think we should be indulging in such delusions.
That's why we need to keep our minds hydrated and free. That's the basis for all my skills in spiritual magic.
Mmm....

　At that moment, a roaring sound was heard outside the castle.
　When I headed towards the balcony, black smoke was rising from a section of the royal capital.

''The brave army──''

　All of them are about thirty brave men dressed in black clothes and holding black swords and spears.
　The Royal Capital's guards fall one by one before their attacks.

　They are all elite guards, but as expected, their opponents seemed to be skilled at it.
　The black miraculous armor they wield is used to unilaterally defeat the demons.

".........

　Feria's heartbeat quickened all at once.

''U...........''

　My whole body becomes heavy with the fear that surrounds me.

　My eyes darken in front of me.
　My limbs tremble and I can't stop.

'?　What's the matter, Feriah...
No, no I'm afraid of the brave men...

　She shook her head furiously at Stella, who wondered.

　Memories of the earlier battle replayed in her mind.
　They erupted and stained her with dusky fear.

　They had killed Feria's men without mercy.
　They killed non-combatant demons without mercy.

　And their blades also rushed to Feria.

　I'm afraid.
　I'm afraid.
　I don't want to die.
　Help me.
　Help me, please.

　She narrowly escaped, but the first time she experienced a situation where she was one step closer to death, she was severely traumatized.
　That's why she closed herself in by putting up wards around her, and eventually her ability to "create dreams" went out of control and spread throughout the demon world.

　She was awakened and saved by the Demon King Freed, who stepped into the world of dreams, although he caused a lot of damage.

　His presence lit up Feria's hope and courage.
　His brave fighting style gave her the strength to stand up again.

　But, after all, the brave man is strong.

"I'm afraid...
Feria...
No, I'm still scared.........

　Feria shook her head from side to side.

　There was no Regal or Judas here.
　The remaining demon army chiefs were hardly the type to specialize in combat.
　The defenders were also being kicked around one by one.

　In no time, the brave army will reach this castle.

''──It's okay. It's all right.

　Stella hugged Feria's shoulder.

''My magic power is almost at full strength. I will see right through their weaknesses. Olivier is there. There's Tsukuyomi. And there are many demons. I'll need your help.
Stella....
'Even if we are inferior to the brave army, we will find a way to persevere. Do not give up until the end.

　Stella was reliable as she told me with dignity.

　I feel lightened.
　Just by being around her, I feel brave.

　It's the same with Fried.

''Well that's true.

　Her - or rather, her friends' existence is my hope.

That's why I'm here.

　Feria clenched her fists.
　The trembling of her limbs had stopped before she knew it.

I don't want to think that I'm just being protected anymore.

　A light pink glow floods her front.

"Activate spirit magic (astral)...

　Countless lights converged, drawing a complex trail in the air, creating a magic circle.

'The World of Dreams (Nightmare Hour), The Pattern of Illusion (Ludomistia)'

　It's a magic that acts on the target's psyche and elicits a powerful illusionary effect.
　A light purple blur clung to the black heroes' surroundings.

　Soon after, their movements stopped.

''They've stopped moving...?
''Feria-sama, it's amazing!''
A high level of mind interference magic? But there are so many brave men and women at once.

　Stella, Olivier and Tsukuyomi are looking at us.

''Fufu........''

　Feria let out a big breath.
　As expected, disorienting thirty brave men would consume a large amount of magical power.

''We can stall them for the time being.



　About two hours passed, but the brave men and women wandered around the place, staring into the void and mumbling something to each other - they seemed to be out of mind.

　It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them.

"But that doesn't mean we can't stop it forever.

　And Tsukuyomi.

'We can't win just by stopping them. We must make our next move now.
"Then I shall mobilize all the forces in King's Landing to attack. The risk of a counterattack is real, but we can beat them now...

　It was then that Stella said.

　A powerful glow lit up the sky.
　The sky cracked open and a new group of troops landed in the royal capital.

''More reinforcements are coming...!

　Stella groaned.
　Feria also has a grim expression.

　From a quick look, there are about thirty reinforcements.
　Regardless if they were small fry, they should all be top-notch brave men.

　It was indeed impossible to disillusion more people than this.

''This isn't good. I can't stop now...

　The brave men of the reinforcements come in a straight line down the main street of the royal capital.
　Once again, they try to use the illusion magic from earlier, but they are very short of magic power.

'No, it's enough. You've made good time for me.''

　Suddenly, a voice rang out.

"I won't let you pass any further, brave men and women - the Blazing Flame of Heaven.

　Red lotus flames poured down from the sky.

''Guh........''

　The brave army was blown away with a bitter cry.

''As expected of a demon army chief. You pierce the blind spot of the opponent's mind and strike it into an endless loop of illusion - a structure that is like a model of mental magic.

　A beautiful boy with silvery white hair and brown skin appeared in the sky above and landed on the battlefield.

''Thanks to you stopping the first group, we made it in time.

　Judah looks back at us and smiles.

'I'll take care of the rest.'

　He stepped forward with a careless gait.

'Thirty of us, all by ourselves!
Don't lick it, demon!

　The brave men barked as they held the black miracle armor in their hands.

'Have I offended you?　But I think that's a fair assessment of our strength.

　Judah brushed his silver hair and held out his right hand in front of him.

'The black miracle armor used by the brave men of ancient times - the chaotic form (chaos form). Why has it been resurrected in this world? Is the power of the gods coming back or...
What are you talking about?

　The brave men rushed forward with a shout.
　From black swords, spears, bows and arrows, attacks that far surpassed the normal Miracle Armor flew in rapid succession.

''Rune Shield!''

　Judah easily blew them apart with a single magic barrier.

''Foolishly, our Miracle Armor should be far more powerful than normal, but...''
I've been fighting against the Black Miracle Armor. "I've fought alongside my friend the Velfer, the first demon king in ages past. Hundreds and thousands of battlefields.

　A faint glow lights up in Judah's palm.
　The light changes colors one after another - red, blue, yellow, green - and gradually increases in luminous intensity.

This magic that slaughtered the brave men and women of ancient times without limit, I present it to you as a gift. Goodbye, black heroes.

　With a smile, Judas' spell was completed.



''Annihilation Saint's Terminal Rainbow (Divine End).''



　Countless rainbow-colored meteors fell from the sky.
　They shattered the black Miracle Armor and pierced the black vestments.

...ha........................

　The thirty brave men standing in front of him and the thirty brave men who were still trapped in the illusion - all of them were instantly decimated.
