“《Photon Blade》!”
“《Turtle Guard》!”
“Darn! It’s tough?!”
ㅤ
It’s been only a few minutes since the Demon Lord left this scene.
Our desperate stalling tactic was yielding moderate results.
Shindou was still unable to defeat the turtle, unable to pursue the Demon Lord.
The twelve apostles, who were trying to provide some support, were fully occupied, being pushed by the executives who had started a little coordination due to their survival instincts.
As a result, the stalemate continued.
ㅤ
“Squeal?!”
ㅤ
But, a cost was incurred.
Even now, the Orc Lord had his lower body blown off by Shindou.
That one is beyond saving.
Therefore, I secretly euthanized it and sent the body to the dungeon.
ㅤ
In this way, the Demon Lord’s army was greatly exhausted.
Despite only a few minutes having passed, already five of the executives were killed.
Numerous Mithril Golems were destroyed, and new ones were transported.
Well, I collected the wreckage and dumped it into the golem maker.
ㅤ
On the other hand, there were almost no casualties on the other side.
To be precise, I was able to kill several true equipment users and one of the twelve apostles, but one of the true equipment users quickly became a new apostle.
Moreover, the one I could kill was not someone who strengthens others.
Their damage is minimal.
Conversely, I think the Demon Lord’s army will be wiped out in about 10 more minutes.
ㅤ
Just as I was calculating the time limit to our defeat.
ㅤ
BOOOOM!
ㅤ
A tremendous explosion occurred, and a huge building at the center of the city collapsed.
ㅤ
“The cathedral?!”
ㅤ
Several of the enemies screamed at the sight.
And the next moment, they became corpses.
That’s what happens when you’re distracted in this situation.
ㅤ
Anyway.
It seems that the Demon Lord is doing well.
There must have been some defense forces in the cathedral, but they were apparently not enough to stop the Demon Lord.
Now, if we can hold out until the Demon Lord completes the dungeon that she said is underneath, it’s a win for the Demon Lord’s army.
No, even if the Demon Lord’s army is annihilated, if the Demon Lord achieves her goal, it’s a win.
ㅤ
“Ho ho ho. Lady Demon Lord seems to be doing well. It’s worth all the effort.”
“Huh! 《Photon Impact》!”
“Whoops!”
ㅤ
Shindou fired light magic at the turtle.
The power is great, but the magic feels distorted.
Probably, he is in a rush and the activation is not going well.
If that’s the case, the power of the magic will decrease.
Indeed, the turtle was able to withstand it with ease.
ㅤ
“Ho ho ho. You’re so young to be disturbed by this. Look, here’s your chance. Finish it.”
“《Fenrir Roar》!”
“《Bloody Rain》!”
“《Melody of Destruction》!”
“《Phoenix Flare》!”
“《Sky Slash》!”
“Darn?!”
ㅤ
Taking advantage of his panic, the executives, who had shaken off the twelve apostles and freed their hands, all unleashed long-range attacks at once.
The damage itself is not that much.
In fact, it is instantly recovered by the effect of “Angel’s Smile”, so it is virtually no damage.
Even so, it certainly serves as a hindrance.
ㅤ
“Hero, calm down! The more you rush, the more you fall into their trap!”
“…Yes!”
ㅤ
Told by one of the twelve apostles, Shindou’s movements change.
He seems to have regained some calmness.
Annoying.
ㅤ
“…However, it is a fact that it’s not good as it is. I can’t help it. I didn’t want to use it because it affects the people and the soldiers.”
ㅤ
Huh?
One of the twelve apostles mutters and jumps down the defensive wall.
Into a place crowded with a horde of monsters.
If it was a suicide, I’d be happy, but that’s not likely.
I’ve appraised that guy’s true equipment ability.
I can predict what he’s going to do.
ㅤ
“Let’s go! Demons, taste my forbidden power! 《Create Giant Golem》”
ㅤ
Such a voice echoed from below.
At the same time, the ground outside the barrier swelled, forming a super-giant golem.
Its size was larger than a mountain, and much bigger than a turtle.

ㅤ
Just by the explanation, it has a simple effect similar to the true equipment of the grandpa zombie or hot-blooded zombie.
Even so, when executed with the monstrous status of the twelve apostles, the scale of the magic is different.
But after all, it’s a golem made of dirt.
No matter how large it is, it’s not that strong.
It’s already beginning to crumble from the attacks of the lower rank demons below.
ㅤ
“Do it!”
ㅤ
But, before it completely crumbles, the giant golem took action.
It extended its huge arms and grabbed the shell of the turtle.
ㅤ
And then, it threw it as it was.
ㅤ
“W, Ahat?!”
ㅤ
The turtle, astonished, flew away, overturned and caused a huge destruction in the city.
Moreover, it cannot get up just by fluttering its limbs.
Turn into a humanoid!
Don’t you even know that, you musclehead!
ㅤ
And then, the giant golem that had fulfilled its role crumbled away.
Debris rained down on the city and fortress.
But with this, the turtle that had been blocking Shindou has temporarily withdrawn from the front line.
In other words…
ㅤ
“Now’s the time, Hero!”
“Yes!”
ㅤ
Shindou, having lost his deterrent, chases after the Demon Lord with the other power-enhancing twelve apostles.
The obstructing executives were slashed down in one stroke.
As expected, it can’t be stopped without the turtle!
ㅤ
And then, Shindou and the others ran away at a great speed, and the remaining officers and the twelve apostles resumed their battle.
Some executives, including the fenrir, chased after Shindou and the others.
As a result, the number of the twelve apostles and executives left on the scene was almost equal.
A dogfight is expected.
ㅤ
But, my prediction was off.
Less than a minute after Shindou and the others ran away.
Probably, around the time they should be arriving at the remains of the cathedral, the phenomenon occurred.
ㅤ
━━From the ruins of the cathedral, a pillar of black light rises towards the sky.
ㅤ
Afterwards, the black light spread and dyed the sky, engulfing the world in darkness like the night.
I know even without looking directly.
An instinctual part tells me.
That at the base of that pillar of black light, there is something with immense power.
ㅤ
I understood that the Demon God has been revived.
ㅤ
As if drawn to it, both the executives and the twelve apostles stopped their fighting and started running towards the black light.
Probably, the monsters instinctively, and the twelve apostles thinking about their priorities while chasing those monsters.
I, too, operated the Automata and made it run towards the scene.
Feeling a sense of impatience as if I had to do so for some reason.
