The battle between the hero and the Demon Lord continues, centered around their fierce clash.
While I’ve been steadily taking advantage of the situation, a change has been observed on the main battlefield.
ใ ค
“ใPhoton Bladeใ!”
“Guh…?!”
ใ ค
The Demon Lord appears to be slightly overpowered by Shindou.
That Demon Lord.
Honestly, it’s hard to believe.
ใ ค
But on closer observation, the reason became clear.
ใ ค
The combat skills of the Demon Lord and Shindou are nearly equal.
The Demon Lord is superior in terms of basic specifications.
Conversely, Shindou has the advantage in compatibility.
However, it’s not enough to completely bridge the gap in innate strength with the Demon Lord.
In terms of overall strength, the Demon Lord is still superior.
ใ ค
So, why is the Demon Lord struggling?
The answer is simple.
It’s nothing but the difference in allies.

Among the twelve apostles’ true equipment successfully appraised, some possess such unfair effects.
Others-enhancing type of true equipment.
And there are multiple of them.
I know because I’ve killed many true equipment users, but this type of true equipment is actually quite rare.
So far, I’ve only seen the goblin zombie, a woman called Ivy, and a woman called Emma.
Only these three.
I think it’s genuinely rare, as I’ve only encountered these even after crushing multiple countries.
ใ ค
And yet, here come three new ones.
Furthermore, their effects are overlapping and causing a great deal of trouble.
This is the scariest part of the others-enhancing type.
To make matters worse, these guys are purely strong, even without the effect of true equipment.
Even now, there are a few who are supporting Shindou while dealing with the executives.
I believe this is solely due to their skilled teamwork.
ใ ค
In contrast, the Demon Lord’s army lacks such talented individuals.
All of the executives’ true equipment is self-enhancing.
Also, their teamwork is practically nonexistent.
They’re at a level where they’re hindering their allies.
The ogre king’s raised club struck the orc king’s head, who was behind him.
Perhaps the true equipment reflects the owner’s personality.
At any rate, I’ve come to understand that it’s unwise to gather these guys and have them fight together.
Don’t mix, it’s dangerous.
But, it seems that not all executives are incompetent.
In an attempt to break this situation, there were a couple who took action.
ใ ค
“Uooooh! ใFenrir Kickใ!”
“ใTurtle Guardใ!”
“Huh?!”
ใ ค
In front of the struggling Demon Lord and Shindou, a transformed human-shaped turtle, kicked away by the fenrir, intercepted and blocked Shindou’s attack instead of the Demon Lord.
The sacred sword of monster slaying was slammed against the turtle.
However, the turtle managed to withstand it, with only a slight damage to its true equipment shell.

This is the ability of the true equipment of the turtle, successfully appraised.
It’s a defense monster.
As expected, it seems to be able to withstand the attack of a hero.
ใ ค
“Ho ho ho, Lady Demon Lord, leave this to us and go ahead.”
“Huh?! But…”
“What’s the matter? As long as the Demon God resurrects, it’s our victory, right? Fortunately, buying time is my specialty. So, go ahead without worry.”
“…Thank you, Tortoise. I’m indebted to you!”
ใ ค
Ah, the Demon Lord has changed her move.
She leaves the scene and flies straight to the center of the city.
For me, it’s not a favorable turn of events.
But the risk of getting in the way is too high.
I have no choice but to watch.
ใ ค
“Wait!”
“I won’t let you go.”
“We won’t let you interfere with the Demon Lord-sama!”
“Huh?!”
ใ ค
The turtle and the Fenrir restrain Shindou, who tried to hinder the Demon Lord.
Last time, I compared the fight with Shindou to a pack of medium-sized dogs challenging a wild wolf.
And then, I concluded that to fight monsters like heroes and Demon Lords, at the very least, you need the strength to stop the monster.
ใ ค
That’s exactly the situation now.
The turtle cancels its humanoid form, becomes a giant like a mountain again, and literally blocks Shindou’s way like a wall.
While using that turtle as a shield, the Fenrir toyed with him.
For an impromptu, it’s a remarkable combination.
They don’t seem like musclehead executives.
And the other executives, perhaps feeling a primal sense of crisis at the departure of the Demon Lord, have begun to prioritize attacking Shindou over the twelve apostles in front of them.
As a result, they can fight against the hero and the twelve apostles even without the Demon Lord.
The fact that Shindou’s movements have become sloppy due to the rush to chase the Demon Lord is significant.
Originally, the Demon Lord’s army has the advantage in numbers, so it’s not impossible to do it.
ใ ค
Well, I should do some work too.
ใ ค
Using the Mithril Golem as a wall, I charge the Automata.
If I play it right, I should be able to restrain at least one of the twelve apostles.
ใ ค
“Gyaa?!”
ใ ค
Ah, Shindou beheaded the Ogre King.
As expected, things don’t go so smoothly, and it doesn’t look like it’ll last long.
But I will do what I can do.
That’s all.
ใ ค
For now, let’s retrieve the Ogre King’s corpse.
