When Albero saw Ogre, he instinctively closed his eyes.
“W, What is this thing. . . . . .?!”
ㅤ
Ogre he saw in the world of Summoned Beasts was emitting an incredible light.
The light from its core was so intense; it felt like having a lamp shined directly into his eyes. While humans appeared faint and Hubris was slightly brighter than humans, the Ogre radiated an unparalleled 『vitality』.
What should I do━━Albero was torn.
Then, Ridelle approached Albero.
ㅤ
“Ridelle, what shoul━━.”
“Sorry.”
ㅤ
Grabbing Albero’s arm, Ridelle activated 『Red Queen』 and leaped.
They arrived at the rooftop of the S-class building.
ㅤ
“Wha. . . . . .Ridelle?!”
“It’s impossible. Totally impossible. . . . . .That thing, it’s on another level. It’s not something we can handle.”
ㅤ
Ridelle looked pale.
On the rooftop were Ashe, Kid, Leivinia, and Nisrok.
ㅤ
“I have to agree. It’s different from Hubris. . . . . .That’s a genuine monster.”
“Kid. . . . . .A, Ashe?”
“I’m sorry. . . . . .I’m. . . . . .scared.”
“Wha━Wait, where’s Lapis?”
ㅤ
Ridelle shook her head.
ㅤ
“I don’t know. At some point, she was gone. . . . . .Same with Yorha.”
“. . . . . .Huh?”
“I saw it. Lapis and Yorha were taken away by some weird figure that appeared out of nowhere.”
“Weird figure?”
ㅤ
What Leivinia saw was a human, covered entirely in a black robe, suddenly appearing. The moment this figure touched Lapis and Yorha, they seemed to be sucked into a black sphere and vanished.
There’s so much to consider.
From the rooftop, Albero watched the battle with Damocles.
ㅤ
“What should we do. . . . . .?”
“There’s nothing we can do. If what this kid says is true, defeating that 『wrath』 is absolutely impossible.”
“What?”
ㅤ
Here, Albero learned about Ogre’s ability from Leivinia.
It’s called 『Regression』, which always returns it to its 『invincible self』.
ㅤ
“Seriously? It’s invincible.”
“That’s what I’ve been saying. Little girl, any weaknesses?”
“I’m not a little girl!! I’m thousands of times older than you!!”
ㅤ
Although Leivinia gets angry, Kid pretends not to notice.
Then, he asked Leivinia.
ㅤ
“Hey, doesn’t it have any weaknesses?”
“No weaknesses. . . . . .Ogre can only rampage recklessly. Even if its head is crushed or its core is damaged, 『Regression』 will restore it. When I fought it in the past, it stopped fighting simply because it was hungry and sleepy.”
“. . . . . .Just for those reasons?”
“Yes. While fighting 21 summoners, its stomach growled, and it went to eat and then slept. It’s probably been sleeping ever since. . . . . .Florentia might have awakened it.”
“Damn, so it’s 『lust』’s doing. . . . . .”
“. . . . . .Probably. I think it’s close.”
“Huh?”
ㅤ
Leivinia spoke so that Albero and the others could hear.
ㅤ
“The complete resurrection of Demon Emperor-sama is probably close.”
“And what happens when he resurrects?”
“A massive rampage. He will wipe out humans from this world and summon all the Summoned Beasts from our world. Jabberwock-sama opposed the Demon Emperor-sama and. . . . . .the Queen to protect humans.”
ㅤ
Albero gently held his right arm.
Leivinia seemed a bit sad.
ㅤ
“I like this world. I neither like nor dislike humans. . . . . .but I like Ashe and Ridelle. I don’t want them to be gone.”
“Leivinia. . . . . .”
“. . . . . .Yeah.”
ㅤ
Ashe and Ridelle looked happy.
At those words, they seemed to have made up their minds.
ㅤ
“Albero, we need to do something about this now.”
“But how? My 『hardening』 doesn’t work, and even the teachers like Damocles. . . . . .”
“Even so, we have to do something. Albero, you and I should join the fight. Kid, you back us up, and we’re counting on you too, Ashe.”
“. . . . . .Well, alright.”
“Got it! I’m still scared, but. . . . . .I’ll do my best!”
ㅤ
Kid raised his left arm, and Ashe summoned Gryphon.
Albero raised his right hand, and Ridelle lifted her right leg.
ㅤ
“Take it, 『Jabberwock』.”
“Jumping, 『Red Queen』.”
ㅤ
The right arm turned black, and both legs became crimson.
The battle between Damocles and Ogre continued. Ogre was still rampaging wildly, while Damocles was panting heavily, and his injuries were increasing.
ㅤ
“S-class. Let’s go!”
“Yeah!”
“Hmph. . . . . .”
“I’ll give it my all!”
ㅤ
Reinvigorated, Albero and the others charged towards Ogre.
