187 And then he approaches.




 While Ecdysium is holding the enemy at bay inside the village, the enemy in the rear is bypassing the village and closing in on us. If we're not careful, there will be more of them than the ones attacking the village! It's not so much that Eckdruk made a bad decision, it's more that the rest of the troops ignored the village or tried to surround it in order to take credit for it, only to find us running away.

You can fight, can't you, Lakra?
Yes, to a point!
Then hold them off long enough for us to get through! I'm sending as many skeletons as I can to guard the villagers, and if I don't lead them close, there's just too much of a power differential!
"All right, sir! I'll just have to take them out at random!
Yes, that's it!

 The man reminded me to keep my orders to Lakra as simple as possible. She's more likely to get better results if she's left to her own judgment. She is Exoik's sister, and she said that she is stronger than Exoik, so you don't have to worry about her. I'm going to ride up to the villagers and meet up with a few soldiers.

We can buy some time, but it's not going to last very long!
We'll fight to protect the villagers!
No! No! Your strength will not be enough to stop them from panicking and fleeing in droves! If they slow down to the point of running away, we won't be able to protect them!
But ...... you think you can hold off the rest by yourself?
I'm not alone. Come on, we've got to mobilize!

 Bring out all the skeletons we have in the ground. We're gathering troops from other places, but it's unlikely they'll be able to make it in time for this fight. If it's just a simple matter of numbers, there are more of them than the Scarlet Corps,......, but we can't be too proud.

You are ...... not .......
You'll have to wait for the details! Honestly, I can't hold you much longer!
"Yes, sir!

 The soldiers were surprised by the sudden appearance of the skeleton soldiers, but as soon as they realized that they were not the enemy, they quickly began to evacuate the villagers. It's a good idea to take a look at the actual information on the web. I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea. ...... No, I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea. I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

I'm not sure what to do.

 I'm not sure what to make of this. If this was against humans, it would be a very effective formation. ...... Well, what do you think? The roar of the enemy soldiers is approaching. You can already see them in your line of sight and the collision is imminent. You can certainly see the fatigue of your opponent. They're literally coughing up blood at the intermediate level.

"Archers, open fire!

 A volley of fire from the archers hit the enemy front line. Many of the enemy soldiers take a defensive posture, but the arrows pouring down without any gaps are piercing one after another. But ...... is not very effective. An arrow to the arm or leg will not stop the momentum of the enemy. His vitals are well guarded.

"Fire the second shot! Spearmen, forward!

 The following shots have little effect. For the troops in front of me, non-fatal wounds would only have the effect of slowing them down a bit. But even that slight weakening...

"Whoa!

 A large number of skeletal bones flew into the air. You'll be able to find a lot more than just a few of them. I thought I understood the difference in strength, but now that I see it right in front of my eyes, all kinds of emotions come to me. Impatience, frustration, regret, but I shouldn't be feeling these emotions right now. The only way to stop it is to do something about it in this situation.

"All of you, take a bite! Kill as many as you can!

 A wave of skeletons swallowed the enemy demons. The skeletal wave swallowed up the enemy demons, but the enemy's momentum didn't seem to slow down, and they used their strength to break through. At this rate, it won't be long before the enemy's blade reaches this position. It's still not enough to use that method. Still, if we don't--

! Get out! Dar'agestia!
Lo-ooh-ah!

 It blows up the entire front line of the enemy, including the skeleton soldiers on your side, and summons a trump card from the depths of the earth. Dal'Agestia, the most powerful unique class I possess at this stage. The skeletal dragon I wielded with Ecdysius. She will truly be my last stand. It is far more powerful than the normal unique class due to various modifications during the preparation period. ....... The enemy, sensing the threat of Dar'Agestia's presence, attacked Dar'Agestia in packs.

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it.
"Lo-oh!

 A single blow from Dal'Agestia's paws swept all the enemies away. No matter how strengthened your defensive abilities and survival instincts are, you will not be safe if you are hit by a quantity that exceeds them. A blow that shatters a sword or breaks a spear will crush the enemy's body mercilessly, no matter how well you defend yourself with weapons.
 This girl works. But she's the only one who can. No matter how huge and powerful a being is, it's hard to destroy all of them in a short time. The blow of his paw blows away many ogres, but some are able to parry and some are able to avoid it. Then, after a large blow, he swung his weapon down on the Dal'Agestia, who had stopped moving. The bones of these skeletons are much harder than those of other skeletons, but the strengthened ogre's blow is capable of inflicting a slight wound even to intermediate levels. The damage is not to be taken lightly when the higher level ones are mixed in.

Concentrate on the higher level demons!
"Rororo!

 This child is obedient to me and has no fear of the enemy. But because of her huge body, she can't cope with small movements. The advanced demons, who are now as powerful as the unique class, use the dying intermediate demons as shields and steadily attack Daruagestia. Even so, sometimes they are able to catch the enemy and inflict a heavy blow, but the number of enemy soldiers gathering around them is gradually increasing. Wear and tear is definitely occurring. If even one of her legs is destroyed, her ability to continue fighting will be ......!



"Well, the enemy has brought out a unique class of demons! Get out of the way, you small fry! I'm coming forward! I'm coming forward!

 I'm not sure what to make of this, but I think it's a good idea. I'm sure that's a unique class ......, Scarlet's direct subordinate! It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for and how you can use it.

"Ro-o-o-o! ......!
"Dal'Agestia!

 Unbelievable. It's a lot smaller than Dal'Agestia, no matter how much larger it is than the other individuals. The difference in size between an adult and a baby is enough to make this kid wobble! The skull cracks and Dal'Agestia lets out a cry of pain. But she immediately slams her paw into the enemy's unique class in a counterattack.

"No!

 The unique class catches the blow without moving, as it leaps over even the most advanced demons. The unique class catches the blow without moving. The impact of the blow causes cracks to appear in the earth around it, but Dal'Agestia's blow is completely stopped.

"Lo-oh!
"Hahahaha! That's good! This heavy counterattack after this Tamasha Fosair's blow! This is the enemy! An obstacle that can lead to a struggle! This is an opponent against whom I can fully tremble the power given to me by the Demon Lord! Uh-oh!

 The ogre who called himself Tamascha Fozea overflowed with magic power that I had felt in the past. I'm not sure what to make of it. This kind of purity is definitely activating the power of struggle. All the muscles in my body are rising up and my whole body is turning bright red. The pressure I'd felt since we'd faced each other grew even stronger--

"Nuuuuuuuun!
What the hell?

 I couldn't believe my eyes even more at the sight that occurred. As if by magic, Tamascha Fossair grabbed Daluagestir's paw, which was holding him back, and threw him straight up. The huge body of Dal'Agestia engulfed all the enemies and friends on the ground and slammed into the earth, shaking it violently.

"Hahahaha! This is the first time I've ever thrown an opponent like this in my life! It's not the end of the world!

 I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but it's a good idea. Tamascha Fozea picks up the mallet on the ground and runs at Dar'Agestia. She sees the danger and attacks him with her tail, but he swings the mallet and destroys her tail.

"Rorororoooo!
"No, all of you! Stop that ogre!

 Formation no longer matters. No longer does it matter what formation we take, it's just a matter of letting our sheer mass hold back Tamascha Fossea's assault. Abandoning even the attack, countless skeletal soldiers clung to him, creating a pile of bones as they watched. At least Dar'agestia would have time to regain her position--

"Get out of the way! You're in my way! You're in my way!

 The skeleton soldiers who jumped at the same time as the roar were blown to pieces. It's not just the hammer blow. It's not just the hammer blow, but also the wind pressure from the blow that easily shatters the skeleton soldiers' bodies. Tamascha Fossea runs again. Daruagestia is standing up, but she hasn't been able to stand up properly yet!

"Rorororoooooooo!
I can't stand it! I can't stand it!
"Daruagestia!

 Tamascha Fossair's blow struck Dal'Agestia in the right shoulder. The bones around it were destroyed, leaving the right front leg behind as Dal'Agestia rolled backwards towards me. With its leg destroyed, it is difficult to support its huge body.
 So much, so much difference! This girl's strength is no less than the undead I've brought with me so far. No, she's even stronger than that. No, it's not her strength that's the difference. It's the difference between Scarlet, who was always preparing for war with humans, and me, who just wanted to die and did nothing. The difference in rank as a Demon Lord is only clearly and distinctly shown so far.

"Roo-o-o-o-ooh ......!

 I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's going on. But it's not a situation where you can fight properly anymore. We're almost there, almost ready. ......!

"Skeletons! "Skeletons! Be a wall of protection for Dar'Agestia!

 The skeletons were already jumping at Tamasha Fossea without any new orders. But it doesn't make any sense. The ogre is laughing as he crushes the oncoming skeletons and walks up to him with ease. Tamascha Fozair isn't the only one. The other ogres did as well: .......

"Oh my God! Then I'll have to do it!

 Then I'll have to do it!" He magically creates a block of ice and shoots it at Tamascha Fozair. I've learned basic magic from Yugra. I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not, but it's a good thing. I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not.

I'm not sure what to make of this. This is nothing but luck! It's a good thing I'm not the only one.

 It was worth the attack. It's a good thing that I'm not the only one who has a problem with this. ...... But honestly, you can't stall for time against something like this! I'm not sure what to make of this, but I'm sure it's a good idea. I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that. Oh my god! How could you forget about this until the last minute? Ecdysium! We're in a bit of a mess, so hurry up and get over here! I'm in the middle of a battle with a unique enemy class! I'm in the middle of a battle with an enemy unique class! Dar'Agestia's been killed!

We're on our way. I'm on my way, no fighting! Can you get away? What about Lakra?

 I don't know. I don't think I'm fast enough to beat it, and it's coming at me like it's just found its prey. Lakra's fighting somewhere between you and me! Just hurry up! I'll keep you alive somehow! Can you hear me? Oh, no. I'm sure he's rushing over here without thinking about it, but the time from the village to here is a bit ...... too much.

But I don't want to get hit here. I don't want Scarlet to have to see my head!

 I'm not going to let Scarlet see my head!" He sends an ice lump flying, followed by an ice spear. I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one who has a problem with this.
 Oh, no. The ice block was shattered just like before, and the ice spear was crushed by a headbutt. This is the best match for offensive magic, but ...... the bow you have is not much better than a skeleton soldier, and ...... even with magic enchantments it is weaker than an ice block.



"Ha-ha-ha! What the hell is that attack? There's a world of difference between you and me, Demon Lord!
That's so annoying. Don't you dare share me with that brainiac who thinks about fighting every waking moment!
You! You're insulting the Demon Lord!

 Oh, that's a gaffe. You can't blame them for being honest about it. Tamasha Fossea dives towards me and swings her hammer. You can't evade or react like that. In fact, it's a good thing I'm aware of the fact that it's being wielded.
