120 What do you mean?




 What should I do now? .......

 It seems that in the basement of the Demon King's old castle, preparations for an evil ritual are steadily underway.
 A demon king is a ritual. In the books I've read, demons are the ones who quietly accumulate power.
 So I can understand Lord's words, but I don't want to be confronted with it right in front of me.

 I'm being hunted. I can't ask for help from anyone. There's even the possibility that [Descend] is behind this.
 There is a way for Senri to anonymously report to the Knights of the End, but the Knights of the End can be tricky. I don't feel safe asking Razal and the others.
 If it were just me, I'd run away as fast as I could, but with Senri here, I can't do that either.

 Let's make a hypothetical. If the Demon Lord of Shadow were to return, would I be able to defeat him?
 I was up against a demon lord named Rynell, but I only survived because of Sable's spear.

 The Lord of Skeletons answers the thoughts that come to mind.

'It's going to be a bad game of ....... The power of the King of the Dead, built up over the years, is the most troubling of all demon lords.

 That was an unexpected answer.

 It's not a bad match, or a definite ............ defeat. I'm not sure I can do that.

 I've been an immortal for only about a year now, and I can beat an immortal who has lived for decades, maybe even centuries?
 The living have their strengths, and the dead have theirs. If my opponent is the same Immortal King, he probably has the same level of regeneration ability as me. As long as I can't use endurance, I don't think I have a chance, but .............

 The Lord does not say much. I look at the residue of the Lord in the darkness and think to cover up the pain.
 And I came to an easy answer.


 No ............ right!


 At that moment, Senri, who had been pondering over the information I had given him, looked up.


The end, I'll blow up the castle from the outside with the magic circle. I'm not sure what to make of that.


 ...... I guess Senri and I are perfect for each other.

 In the event that you have any questions concerning where and the best way to get in touch with us, please do not hesitate to contact us.

I want to avoid the destruction of nature as much as possible. But it would be too dangerous if the King of the Dead were to return. We should destroy it thoroughly before it triggers the ritual.

"Little girl who doesn't understand wisdom: ......! What kind of short-sighted thinking is this, a disciple of Annihilation who doesn't even know the magic word for magic! I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

"That's what I was thinking too. But, Senri, is the area of effect of 'annihilation' that wide?

I've been thinking about it. You idiot!

 Shut up. If I had to choose who to listen to, Lord or Senri, it would be Senri.

 I know. There's nothing good about listening to the words of the wicked. I'm not doing a puzzle, and if there's a simple solution, I'll take it.

 I'm not doing a puzzle, and if there's a simple solution, I'll go with it. Photon Delight is Epe's profound technique of annihilation, transforming the power of a vast blessing to wipe out everyone.
 According to Senri, it is simple, yet powerful and has no way to deal with it, and it has wiped out powerful undead many times before, but at the same time, it is a technique that consumes a lot of energy.

 But it is also said to be a very draining technique. It is so simple that there are only a handful of users who can use it, including Epe and Senri.

 In addition, a blessing is the energy of life.
 Since it is released, it must have a great impact on the bearer. In the battle against the Lord, Senri was firing a lot, but he was able to do that because he was special.

 I wish I had a big move that could destroy a castle from far away. What do you have?

"............

No problem, you can rest later. But you'll need to narrow the range, so you'll have to ask End to tell you which direction to fire.

 I'm not sure what to make of this.
 I've been spoiled by Senri lately, so I should show some patience around here. Just give me a hug, that's all.

 I was about to come to a conclusion when Lord said to me in a panic.


"Wait, End! The ritual is not yet complete. There's no need to break it now. It's an old trick, we can break the formation if we use the proper procedure!


 ............ I wonder if that's true? Even if it is, you should tell me that right away.
 It's not good to be a sorcerer because you're pushy.

"Behold, End, behold. "Behold, End, behold the power of death pent up in you. I'm sure you're not the only one.

 I wonder if that's true. I want to show Senri that I'm cool, but that doesn't mean I don't want to show her that I'm not.
 I want to show Senri that I'm cool, but that doesn't mean I don't want to show her that I'm not cool. After all, Senri has helped me so much in the past.

I feel it. If the power of death builds up, the camp will be activated. I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.

 The Lord was talking more than ever to my reluctance.
 If you're not sure what you're looking for, you might want to check out this website. It seems that the Knights of the End are all brainiacs. .......




 ...... I can't help it. I've been putting too much pressure on Senri lately. It's best not to use "destroy".



 But if you cheat, ...... I'll have you killed, Senri.

 I'm not sure if he read my thoughts, but he stared at me. It's a pity I can't read his expression because he has no flesh and skin.


"Senri, annihilation is fine, but I have an idea.

"Hey, what do you think, Rasar? This is not good, is it?

 A strange door in the ground. A strange door in the ground. It closed with a loud bang, and Razzal and the others stood dumbfounded in front of it.

 It was clearly not an ordinary situation. The faces of the others were pale. And I'm sure Razzal himself has the same expression on his face.

 The former Demon Lord's castle, where the undead attack night after night.
 A door that was supposed to be empty at first, but now it is.

 Razzal and the others are not adventurers. They're petty mercenaries making a small fortune, unwilling to fight on the front lines in this time of war.

 We couldn't bring ourselves to go in the door. It was closed to begin with, and Razzal and the others didn't have the same ridiculous power as Barron.

"Shall we go back to [Descend] and report back?

"...... Keep your head down. They've been hiding things from us. d*mn it!

 I was careless. That city can't be trusted.
 Hiring mercenaries is built on trust. As long as they hid the existence of the door and the reason why the undead are coming, [Descend] is no longer a good client.

 In the first place, I hadn't even heard that there was a golem under the door, in the sanctuary where the undead gather.
 There's no way that [Descend], who even had the key to the door, didn't know about the existence of the attacker. If Baron hadn't gone first and Razzal and the others had entered with him, he would have been killed.

Hey, let's get out of here.

......, but Lu and Barron are still inside.

 [Descend] hid the danger. It's probably not true that no mercenaries hired so far have been killed.
 Normally, they would have thrown away their commission and run away.

 But those two men saved Razzal and the others' lives.
 They told me to run when the time came, but I can't be a mercenary if I'm not loyal.

The wall in front of the door won't stay like this forever. The wall in front of the door shouldn't stay like this forever.

 The wall in front of the door is completely closed due to the movement of the wall. But it's unlikely that it will stay like this forever. There must be a way to undo it.

 The back of the door seemed to be quite high. If Barron and the others were to return, they would need someone to clear a path.
 I took a deep breath and calmed myself. Razzal made up his mind for the rest of his life and told his friends.


"Explosives and rope ladders. Let's get ready to smash the back of the door.

Seriously, ...... explosives in a basement like this?

I don't have a choice. I'll do what I can.

 The tunnels may collapse, but it's better than being trapped alive underground.

 I was prepared, just in case. The others began to move slowly and reluctantly.



 Suddenly, I heard footsteps echoing behind me.



 We looked at each other and turned around. What appeared was a pair of men in eye-catching silver and white armor.
 The depressing atmosphere of the basement was instantly transformed into a clean one.

It's a dispiriting time, .......

"Stay alert, Nevilla. They had Senri's mark. He's definitely here.

d*mn it. I know. We finally found a lead. Let's get him back and get this over with.

 In response to the gentleman's reassuring words, the thin-faced man smiled fiercely.
