Ignoring the soldiers on the front lines, an army of demons has come through the demon world. There was little time left for them to enter the evacuation zone. The soldiers are desperately chasing the demons and trying to reduce their numbers. Their numbers are steadily dwindling, more effectively than actually facing them head-on. Since you are only slashing at the monsters that are not aiming at you, it is only natural that your efficiency will increase.
　However, there are still too many of them. Even though the soldiers are slaying demons at an unprecedented rate, even though the heroes are wiping out hordes of a hundred or a thousand with a single swing, still.

But if you're asking me if the wise king Marith Taze didn't see this coming, no.
"Yes! I'm not sure what to do. I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but it's a good idea.
Hey, Pope, .......
"Don't worry too much, Lilisa. It's the secret crystal of the Yugra religion, after all. ....... I'm sure you've been examining the crystal that Lakra gave you, but you're a great sage.
I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea. I'll be back in a few days.
"His Holiness, ......
I've already evacuated the ones I was checking. King Taze has already taken care of the front line with perfect coordination.

　Soon the scenery here in Mejlis will change dramatically. Let's take one last look at this scene and keep it in our minds.

"Hey, Cale! Come back and praise me when this works! I promise! I'll leave my room unlocked!
"Hi, Pope. ......
I'm going to unlock the door to your room!

　I've ruined a lot of things, but I'm going to change my mind. I think it's better for my mental health to praise him for his genius as a great sage.
　There are many other things to think about. Ucka and Maja were seriously injured by a demon who called himself Opharo. If Maja, who is one of the most powerful members of the Yugra religion, is defeated, we need to take thorough countermeasures against her, including the representatives of each country.
　And the same goes for what O'Farrow said. In addition to Yugra, there are other people who have appeared from other worlds, and they have been interfering with our world. ...... There will be many different opinions about this fact as well.

There are many opinions about this fact. I'm not sure what to do.

　The earth shook in response to Balastos' voice echoing from the crystal. Aside from the Taze Demon Realm, which has a natural wall made of giant trees and an overwhelming suppression power due to its huge dragon-like demons, a simple building is not enough to prevent the invasion from the Garn Demon Realm and the Medis Demon Realm, which are connected to the plains.
　Therefore, King Taze and Balastus proposed the creation of a large scale earth magic barrier that would stretch from the westernmost part of Garnes to the easternmost part of Mejis. The earth in the direction where the demons are invading, absorb their magic power, and move the earth to create a barrier. By activating it in a chain reaction, it is possible to build it all at once with a single activation.
　In order to deploy the magic over a wide area, he inscribes the magic at each point and turns the demons under the Purple Demon King into strings, which he uses as catalysts to secure the flow of magic power.
　What appears in front of the demons are deep cliffs and huge walls that are proportional to the depth of the cliffs. In order to harm humans, they have to break through this huge barrier. However, it is extremely difficult for infantry to climb this mountain-like barrier. Demons that can fly may be able to jump over it, but there are ways to deal with their numbers.

The Blue Demon King's reinforcements have entered the fray!

　If it's just the number of demons, then the Kuro Demon King has the upper hand between the Blue Demon King and the Kuro Demon King. I'm not sure what to make of this. If they were to appear as enemies, it would be a hopeless sight, but this time, these fierce flying dragons are on our side.

"Everyone, start moving to the upper side of the barrier. Don't miss even the slightest chance to kill them!

　The remaining demons on the ground have been unilaterally burned by the Blue Demon King's army. We only have a few flying demons to deal with. We have already deployed a large number of magicians and archers and have begun to deal with them.

"Your Holiness ......, it's like a dream.
"You're paying for a nightmarish sight. Let us gladly accept it.

　The Kuro Mad King's army is too powerful. The forces of the Kuro Mad King are too powerful to be defeated by humans alone. But one cowardly man has kept this scene alive.
　Up until now, the Yuggra religion has run the land of the Medis. A nation that should have been ruled by a monarchy has been ruled by a religion. I have made many decisions not only as a pope, but also as a substitute for the king who protects the country. There were times when I wondered if the choices I made were the wrong ones for a pope, or if I should have been as cold-hearted as Serraes for the sake of world peace.
　But if I had tried to dispose of him as an enemy at that time, when he was protecting the Purple Demon King at Tarz, I would not have seen this scene. Seeing this scene made me realize that my worries had been dispelled.

　I'll be back.

　The feeling of magic clinging to my whole body. I'm sure you'll be able to understand why I've been doing this for so long.

"Ugh. ......
"Exdoik! Purple! Ecdysium has regained consciousness!
You don't need to shout to know that, okay? You don't have to yell, it's more difficult to hear if you do.

　Slowly raise your body. The cloth covering my lower body, the faint chill, it seems I'm not wearing any clothes. I recall my memory and try to guess how this happened. Well, I tried to protect Duvraeus in the battle against the O'Fallow with the intention of giving up my life, but ...... I was protected in the opposite direction. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

What happened to the ...... O'Fallow?
They've retreated. I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea.
"...... I see.

　I'm not sure what to make of it. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. However, it seems that the Great Firewall activated by Balastos has succeeded in stopping the invasion. At the moment, everyone is working to eradicate the remaining demons in the Great Firewall, and it is said that this will soon subside.

Duvvreoris is at .......
You don't have to explain, I can see it in your chest.


"Chest ......?

　When I looked at my chest, there was a purple crystal-like object peeking out from inside my skin. It's a little bit of magic, but it's definitely Duvraeoli's magic. Then this is--

It seems that when I took you into the core ...... of Duvraeus, I also gave you a parasite?
The parasite ...... is like the right arm of the harddog.
Is that right? It seems that Duvraeus entrusted you with all of his peculiarities. I've tried to give you power in a form similar to the mask of a pawn. But not very well.

　As I closed my eyes and checked my body, I felt something strange all over my body that I had never felt before. The sensation was similar to that of the "blind eye", and this was probably the peculiarity that Duvraeus had recovered from the great demons.

"...... Why is Duvraeus doing this?
"Well? I'm not going to imagine what Duvvleoli was thinking at that time? But you've been entrusted. Just accept the consequences, okay?

　Just because I've been entrusted with the idiosyncrasies of a great demon doesn't mean I can immediately use these powers like Duvraeus. You can expect to see a slight improvement in your abilities, but it's going to be tough to beat the O'Fallow. ......
　It was I who should have died. But muttering those words here and now would displease Ao, the Purple Demon King, and insult Duvraeori, who is not here.

"All right. I got it.
"Well, that's good. It saved me and Ao the trouble of having to spank you.
Huh, there was a chance there'd be two of us. ......

　I survived. I survived, and Duvraeori lost his body. The first thing you need to do is accept this fact and think about what to do after this.
　The Blue Demon King has single-handedly defeated the demons, and Ilias and the others have successfully worked together to hunt them down to the very last minute. We still don't have enough criteria to judge how strong the Opharo are compared to other demons, but ...... it's not as if there's no hope.
　But now that Maja and Duvraeori are no longer able to fight, I have to take on the role of facing the demons again. Even if you can't beat the O'Fallow or other demons, you'll need a way to buy yourself some time.

...... I'm sorry, Purple. We'll take care of Duvraioli for you.
I'd appreciate it if you did. I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that the new lower-intermediate demons we've been preparing have been used as catalysts to activate the Great Firewall, and the Battler Army has its hands full with demons.
"Yoo-hoo! I heard that there's a peculiarly serious patient here, so I came to visit!

　I heard that there was a very sick person here! Next to him is Nora. I heard that Nora had been working with Balastos to assist him in activating the Great Firewall.
　When Barastos saw me, he observed me with interest, and Nora looked around a few times, then looked at my chest and stiffened.

"Nora, this is--
Nora, this is--" "You don't have to tell me ....... You can't mistake Nora's magic for anything else. I have a pretty good idea what's going on.

　Nora walked over to us and gently stroked the core of the Duvraioli. Through the core, the warmth of her small hand seemed to carry her emotions as well.

"Nora ......
I knew you would be reckless. I knew you would be reckless, it's just that it was a little more than I imagined. You've done well, Duvraeus.
"Didn't he? I know you want to give him a lot of credit, but you're going to have to wait a while before you can revive him, Nora.
"...... can you bring him back?

　I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

If the core is safe, then the soul is there, right? If the core is safe, it means the soul is still there.
"Then...
But it's too late for this fight. Besides, the reckless implantation has put a lot of strain on the core. It will take time to remove it, and even more time to regenerate it and regain your body. ......
How long will it take?
I don't know, ...... ten, twenty years, maybe more?

　I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.

I can wait that long at all. Please take care of her, 'Murasaki'.
"Yes. I promise I'll make it in time for you to reach the end of your life.
You have my word. Then you take care of Exdo-chan like this. Nora will take care of Master's future plans.

　Nora turned to me one more time and handed me a package. It was a carefully decorated, gift-like parcel.

"Is this ......?
It's a magic tool to make use of the peculiarities of Duvraeus. I've been working on it with Purple, but I couldn't finish it in time. It's more useful for you to have it now.
"...... is good?
It's good. We'll have something better for Duvraeus.

　Nora smiled a little innocently and left the room. Everyone watched, and Barastos let out a small breath.

I don't have any more work to do after this. I was just going to hang out with Keir. ...... No way!
No way. You should read the air .......


I'm kidding! I know! Well, after this battle, I'll be a master, and I'll do my best to help my students.
"...... You really are a strong girl, aren't you? You're really a strong girl, aren't you? You can smile without hesitation even after being confronted with a decades-long separation.
That's because she's my disciple.
Maybe you should be my disciple in that area.
"Oh, ......, is that possible?

　While Varathus and the others were talking, I looked down at the package in my hand. It was much lighter than a chain or a sword. Still, my arm felt a definite weight on this parcel.
