TLN: Heya guys, Reigokai here!

Just wanted to tell you guys that I will be moving the sponsored chapter to tomorrow. It will only be for this instance!

Anyways, enjoy the chapter!

Annas POV

I could only watch that strange spectacle absentminded.

What is that?

The Demon Lord Castle wasnt standing in a chasm but on a plain.

And yet, why is it that the city around the castle has been sunk in water, and the lower part of the Demon Lord Castle has been submerged?

Oh, everyones looking good!

A light sound was made and a small girl appeared.

It is Momo-chan.

She has completely mastered Teleport.

D-Did Makoto-kun do this? (Julietta)

Quite the amusing thing. This was done by the Spirit User-kun, right? (Mel)

Momo-chan made a wide smile at the question of Julietta-san and the White Dragon-sama.

It is amazing, isnt it?! Master Makoto-sama made it look like a river had overflowed, and flooded the Demon Lord Castle! Thanks to that, the monsters of the city have evacuated, and more than half of the demon lord army have gone to fix the river issue. (Momo)

We were at a loss for words at what Momo-chan said.

They are saying that they have managed to divide the demon lord army with just the two of them.

Those who use water as their aid to attack are the stronger oneshuh. I was questioning whether a water siege tactic would have an effect, but if the aim was to divide the enemy forces, then I can understand. (Johnny)

Looks like only Johnny-san was able to calmly analyze the situation.

He is the only one thats calm.

An expert in magic and a master of the blade.

Moreover, even siege warfare Johnny-san is also a mysterious person.

With this (Volkh)

I could tell Volkh-sans voice had excitement in it.

I felt the same.

This time for sure

Wait! At the time when we came close to the Demon Lord Castle, we were assaulted by Demon Lord Cain We must not lower our guard. (Julietta)

I returned to my senses after Julietta-san said that.

Right, we were wiped out by that before.

That black armored Demon Lord is whimsical.

Who knows when he will appear in this situation.

If thats what you are worried about, then you dont need to be.

A voice resonated, and everyone turned there.

Esther-sama?

The Destiny Oracle that has come with us from Laberintos.

The White Dragon-sama objected saying It is dangerous!, but Esther-sama just said Theres no problem and came along.

She said straight Demon Lord Cain wont be showing up.

She apparently could tell with her Clairvoyance.

Not only that. The Demon Lord Setekh is also absent. Of course, theres other powerful Demon Lord underlings, but these two not being present is big, right? (Esther)

Ooooh!

We cheered at those words.

W-Wow!

Is it really okay for things to go this smoothly?

Uhmis it really okay to state it that surely? (Mel)

W-Whats with that? Are you doubting me, White Dragon-chan?! (Esther)

N-No! Thats not it, butthe basics of Clairvoyance is that theres no 100%, right? Ira-sama herself said this before (Mel)

I could hear the whispering talk of Esther-sama and the White Dragon-sama.

Esther-sama is also a mysterious personage.

The first time we met her was in the Moon Countrys capital.

And now she came to Laberintos.

This should be her second time meeting usthat should be the case, and yet, she is awfully close to Makoto-san.

Well, just trust me. This information is certainor more like, that person promised (Esther)

Sorry, what was that last part? (Mel)

I couldnt hear a part of the low mutter from Esther-sama.

N-Nothing! More importantly, where is Takatsuki Makoto? (Esther)

True, I dont see Makoto-san.

I am here.

Wa?! (Anna)

I almost fell on my butt from that.

Someone suddenly appeared by my side from inside the mist.

No, the mist turned into a person.

Makoto-san! Please dont scare me like that! (Anna)

Ah, sorry, Anna-san. (Makoto)

That really gave me a fright.

Makoto-san laughed without a single shred of guilt.

He looks fine.

Even though it has only been a few days, I felt relieved seeing his face.

Thats quite the peculiar spell you used there, Spirit User-kun. How did you do it? (Mel)

I used water magic to Transform my body into mist and moved like that. It isnt on the level of the Teleport from Momo, but it is pretty useful. (Makoto)

You, thats a movement method that vampires specialize in Theres no need to use a spell like that, right? (Esther)

The White Dragon-sama seemed deeply interested and Esther-sama looked baffled.

I had nothing to do while we were waiting, so I had Momo teach me. Anyways, quite a lot came. Thank you for your cooperation, Johnny-san. (Makoto)

Dont mind it. Everyone here has the will to fight the Demon Lord We will charge at your word, Makoto-dono We entrust our lives to you. (Johnny)

The air around changes at the words of Johnny-san.

We nodded resolutely.

It is finally the fight against the demon lord army.

Tension runs around the place.

Alright. Theres a lot to do before that Julietta-san, do you have the thing I asked of you? (Makoto)

Uhm, Makoto-kun, is this good enough? (Julietta)

Julietta-san gave Makoto-san something made out of wood.

Thatsa wooden mask?

Ooh, looks cool. Thanks. (Makoto)

I think I could have made something better if I had a bit more time though (Julietta)

It is plenty enough. As long as it hides my face. (Makoto)

Makoto-san puts on the mask thats carved into the shape of an animal.

How is it, Momo, Dia? (Makoto)

Yes, looking cool, Master Makoto-sama! (Momo)

Aahyou look lovely, Our King. (Dia)

The two responded in less than a second.

(Eeh) (Anna)

I honestly see it as a bit weird.

He looks cooler without a mask

Are Momo-chan and Dia-chans eyes clouded?

Uwa, thats lame. Whats with that, Takatsuki Makoto? (Esther)

The unfettered voice was from Esther-sama.

Isnt that saying too much?

Listen here, Ira-sama. We are going to be facing the Demon Lord Bifrons, you know? Then, wouldnt it be bad if he were to see my face? This is me being considerate with you, Ira-sama. (Makoto)

I am Esther! Ah, thats true. If thats the reason, it cant be helped. (Esther)

Also, isnt a fox mask cool? (Makoto)

I told you it is lame. Also, the ceremonies that use fox masks are for good harvest. Thats under the jurisdiction of Freya-oneesama. (Esther)

Aah, jealous, huh. (Makoto)

Wrong! (Esther)

Dont kick me! I can see your panties! (Makoto)

If you are going to look, cough up cash! (Esther)

So unreasonable! (Makoto)

Esther-sama and Makoto-san are flirting again

What they were talking about is also something that only the two of them understood.

Thats not fair.

So, you putting on that mask meansthe time is now? (Johnny)

Even Johnny-san was a bit shaken by this as he entered the conversation.

No, thats not it. I was thinking about reducing the numbers of the demon lord army a bit more It is coming. (Makoto)

Spirit User-kunyou should learn to give a bit more detailed explanationsHm? (Mel)

The White Dragon-sama seems to have noticed something while she was talking and looked up.

A number of people were pulled by that and looked up.

And then, what was reflected in my eyes was

-A lump of ice the size of a big mountain that had pierced through the clouds had showed up.

W-W-W-What is that, Makoto-san?! (Anna)

[Comet Fall]. A spell of Our King, Hero. (Dia)

The one who answered my question while I was flustered was Dia-san.

S-Spell?!

This sight thats as if the world is about to end is the spell of Makoto-san?!

It was as if the sky itself was falling.

What an outrageous size I have never seen a spell like this (Mel)

Well, thats no surprise, White Dragon-chan. Comet Fall is a large-scale slaughter spell thats used for destroying cities. It is one of the spells that the Holy Gods have banned. It is an inhumane spell that turns a whole place into a naked plot of land Takatsuki Makoto, we will be okay, right? (Esther)

We were startled at the words of Esther-sama.

It is true that theres distance between us and the Demon Lord Castle, but with that size, I feel like the shockwave of the destruction would reach all the way here.

Well, just watch. It is far smaller than the one that was about to fall on the Fire Country. If it is on this size, I can control it. (Makoto)

Saying this with a nonchalant tone, Makoto-san pushed his right arm out to the front.

Transform. (Makoto)

The moment Makoto-san muttered this.

*Pang*

The air turned heavy.

(I-I cantbreathe!) (Anna)

Mana that held overpowering pressure to the point that it felt like my breathing would stop was gathering into the right arm of Makoto-san.

When I look around, I could see a number of the Laberintos fighters have fallen on their butts.

[Spirit Arm]. (Makoto)

Makoto-sans voice resonated and his whole right arm shone blue and transparent-like.

You are turning your own arm into a spirit? (Mel)

Thats also a banned technique, butI will turn a blind-eye. (Esther)

I somehow managed to hear only the voice of the White Dragon-sama and Esther-sama.

Mana was stagnating the air around like muddy water.

I am feeling dizzy

I somehow manage to maintain my consciousness and not get mana dizzy as I look at whats in front of my very eyes.

Theres currently a gigantic lump of ice thats being called a comet, and it is about to crash.

The Demon Lord Castle is being crushed like an egg.

Not long after, the comet itself was breaking.

The shockwave is coming! Brace yourselves! (Johnny)

Everyone made their bodies smaller at the shout of Johnny-san.

I also follow suit.

It is okay, Johnny-san. Theres no shockwave coming. (Makoto)

Makoto-san laughed lightly and raised his blue shining arm up.

Water Magic: [Flowing Stream]. (Makoto)

The next instant, the explosion of the comet spread into the sky.

Eh?

Everyone was dumbfounded by this except Esther-sama.

Even the White Dragon-sama and Johnny-san were dumbstruck.

A gigantic explosion that covered the whole sky.

The sky turned bright red and an explosive sound that could break eardrums roared.

My vision turned pure white, and soon stabilized.

I noticed that that was because my eyes were closed.

I take a deep breath and nervously open my eyes.

(Ah) (Anna)

I was watching that sight as if I were in a dream.

The Demon Lord Castle has been crushed.

An out-of-place refreshing breeze was blowing.

The sky was clear.

This is my first time seeing the blue sky from the ground.

Using the explosion shockwave of the comet to blow away the Pitch Black Clouds. Not a bad move. (Esther)

Contrary to us who were shocked mute, Esther-sama spoke to Makoto-san with her arms crossed.

It went well. By the way, whats the forecast for the future, Ira-sama? (Makoto)

I cant tell the expression of Makoto-san because of the mask, but he seemed to be having a lot of fun.

Dont talk about it as if it were a weather forecast, Takatsuki Makoto. Hmmlooks like the Pitch Black Clouds have disappeared in a radius of several hundreds of kilometers. It will be more than half a day before they return to normal. Even I pity the Demon Lord here. His city was submerged, his castle was destroyed by a comet, and below the light of the sun that the undead hate the most, they will be attacked by Heroes. (Esther)

Makoto-san and Esther-samas conversation came in one ear and out the other.

Then, the preparations are over, so lets go defeat the Demon Lord, Anna-san. (Makoto)

O-Okay (Anna)

I could only nod awkwardly.

Arent you fine on your own, Makoto-san?
