CXV.

“Gungbi Ra is the weakest among the twelve gods. cellar… … . Since they are not actual gods, but incarnations, at best they are at the level of superhumans. Right now I’m about halfway to beginner level. lol. Because I am weak. However, if you look at it carefully, it is at the level of a master level.”

“Master Advanced?”

For some reason, when Gungvira was summoned, unlike other kidneys, the realm was clearly visible. No, rather than that, is it worth dealing with? I was surprised to feel something like that.

But how is it possible to push a top-level demon like that? No matter how large their numbers are, a Master cannot pressure a Superhuman. Likewise, a master cannot do anything with a top-level demon.

“Yes. But because Gungbira is special. You know that 1 plus 1 can be 3, right? Gungbira is like that. The more Gungvira gathers, the more synergy it exerts. lol. ah! okay. Gather your spiritual power in your eyes and take a look.”

At Mei’s recommendation, I gathered my spiritual power into my eyes and turned my attention towards Rat Kidney, who was wrestling with a top-class demon for a long time.

Kidneys of 12 rats. They were connected by a very thick, rope-like rope of divine power. However, it didn’t seem like it could be broken.

That’s because even though the highest-level demon had run his dirty fingernails through the rope-like connection of divine power several times, it was not affected at all, as if nothing had touched the illusion magic.

Doo doo doo!

As I was looking at the mouse kidney, perhaps thanks to the power I had concentrated in my eyes, even my ears became bright and I heard a sound coming quickly from afar.

It sounds like a group of knights riding horses and moving with all their might.

“Onaboda. Witch sister! Get ready.”

“Okay.”

The witch disappeared on the spot without saying a word. When I looked around and found the witch again, she was quite far away.

Holding that beautiful star-studded orb in my hand.

Then, as if walking on one’s feet, he walked neither fast nor slow, drawing a large circle around the battlefield where the battle was taking place.

While attention was focused on the witch for a moment, the identity of those who were quickly approaching was revealed.

“Rat kidney… Fields?”

Yes. Suddenly, as soon as they appeared, the rat kidneys that ran into the Lord’s Castle each appeared with a person around their waist.

The people they were with were all different in age, gender, and status based on the clothes they were wearing.

When the rat kidneys, who had been running after me as if kidnapping people one by one, stood behind me, the witch suddenly appeared next to me.

Also, as if the timing was right, a curtain made of divine power rose from where the witch had walked and enveloped the battlefield in the shape of a huge dome.

I turned my head to see how it reacted, and I saw that it had somehow escaped from the den of rat kidneys.

Deep wounds on my back and legs were probably the price to pay.

[Black Heaven!]

Maybe he didn’t see the humans brought by Rat Kidney, or maybe he wasn’t interested, but the second-year middle school patient shouted the same spell without even looking in that direction.

The sun disappeared from a wide area of the sky centered on Nome. No, the sky turned black.

Is this a new power of a top-level demon?

[I brought out the black cloth, so I’ll make you bitches shed tears of blood too. Especially you! You poor bastard. And you, shaman bitch!!]

He seemed quite excited as he pointed at May and then at me.

However, what bothered me more than the fact that he was angry was that from some point on, I could not follow the conversation between the Arcana and the demons.

What is Heukcheon, you idiot?!

No, even if I think about what it is later.

I took it out, what should I do?

What can I do here because you brought it up?

It’s no different from an elementary school student who didn’t eat breakfast and looking at his friend’s bread and begging you to share half of his bread because he said he was starving.

But I stopped at just thinking. Like before, I couldn’t dare to provoke him frivolously.

atmosphere? No, it’s not that problem. It’s like… … .

okay. It seemed like he was warning me not to do it. Instinct.

Anger appears on the faces of the kidneys as they look at the blackened sky. As if I had discovered something that wasn’t supposed to exist.

Above all, the moment he threw himself into the blackened sky, his presence, which had been faint until now, became as huge as a wide space and overwhelmed everyone.

The pressure and intimidation didn’t seem to be too difficult for everyone, but it was a little difficult for me, who was standing on the edge of the black sky called Heukcheon.

“… Big.”

okay. I admit it.

It was very difficult. As if one weight was placed on each shoulder.

I tried to hold back my moans, but the pressure on my entire body grew stronger.

It was only when the pressure gradually increased that I couldn’t hold it in and let out a small moan that Jingbeol moved and I was able to escape the pressure and breathe properly.

“What on earth?”

“The power to defy the law.”

“Against the law?”

“Yes. It is the power that serves as the boundary and standard that separates the highest level demons from the upper class demons. Its power is the power to bring into existence something that could not ‘exist’ here in the first place. It seems that its power embodies a gap in space.”

“Gap in space? Something like subspace, something like that?”

“Yes. The gap in space where that man appears to be using the unique power of hiding seems to have materialized, albeit imperfectly.”

As expected, this time I didn’t understand a single thing. But I did understand one thing for sure. The ‘manifestation’ of subspace.

For some reason, the other superhumans just looked at me without attacking me.

Subspace, gap in space, crack in space.

The characteristics of this unique crack, which goes by many names, are reminiscent of ‘greed’ and ‘gluttony.’ A space that can contain anything and enter anything.

The sword energy that flew into the black sky disappeared leaving behind only small ripples, like a rock thrown into a lake.

‘shit!’

Somehow, the demon who was given the name of the highest level was treated too vainly and one-sidedly.

At the highest level, I want to crush the person I was a few minutes ago when I thought that there was no need for the gods to step in, grant oracles, and use their power to prepare the entire continent for the coming of the Demon King.

“Then… . First of all, ah, that… ? How do you break it?”

“The method of destroying this power, which is mostly possessed by only the highest level demons or higher, is not much different. It’s surprisingly very simple. Unless you have something superlative… Just destroy it. With strength.”

“Uh… . okay… … .”

What May said. I completely understood and felt the meaning of the saying that the highest level of demons would not end there.

A huge dark sky. The sky was not uniformly black, but had cloudy black spots here and there, making it look even more eerie, as it descended very slowly towards us.

And when about 5 minutes had passed since the black sky appeared, the superhumans who until now had thought that they had only endured the pressure of that huge black sky began to move.

“Heaven’s Gate—Open! Heaven’s Judgment!”

Outside the black sky, a brilliantly shining huge iron door slowly opened. Just by looking at this huge iron gate you can feel reverence and see divine power flowing out of it.

It is a strangely shaped iron gate, with divine power gushing out from even each of its steel frames.

After the iron door was opened, the sacred power became more concentrated and thickened and began to fall as lightning and rain. The overwhelming flow of divine power gave me goosebumps even though it was not intended to harm me.

However, the violent pure white storm of divine power did not reach us through the black sky, which was hidden like a huge umbrella.

“Caligo… … .”

Caligo’s sword has never been seen in battle.

And now I can understand why his name, or alternative name, is Caligo’s ‘Sword’.

A huge sword.

Caligo’s sword was imbued with enormous divine power on top of the crude longsword he always carried, making it a sword that could have been held by a giant.

Caligo was holding the sword, as if it were heavy, and veins were sticking out on his forehead, making him look very tired.

It seemed like it would create an incredible sight just by swinging it, but the abilities of Caligo’s sword did not end there.

“… The true sorrow of punishment!”

The huge sword, which had been shining bright blue, was covered with vivid red flames.

The huge sword transformed into an even bigger, gigantic, blazing fire sword. It was clearly so hot that the heat emanating from the sword reached all the way to where I was.

And unlike how difficult it seemed to be to hold Caligo’s sword, he swung the sword he was raising down with great excitement and speed. Like a shooting star passing in the night sky, a bright light appeared where the sword passed and then disappeared.

“Cancel imprint. Mamubia Meteor Swarm.”

A kinky wooden staff that Kanviel always carries with him.

A large crystal like other magician’s wands, or a wand with stains that a pilgrim might carry, which does not look like a magic artifact, responded to the command ‘reseal imprint’ and turned into another wand that could be seen as it emits a soft light.

The surface of the blue crystal staff was heavily engraved with various geometric marks and figures. And where she pointed, the upper part of the black sky opened, and meteorites and thunderbolts raining down from there began to pound the black sky.

It was a black river that shook violently, like heavy rain falling on a lake, but the black sky did not disappear and endured.

“Pragarakh.”

Her sacred object, Fragarach, spontaneously came to mind at the sound of Olivia’s voice and flew toward the black sky.

Fragarach, swimming in the black sky, emits a soft light, like a fairy trying to drive away the darkness.

Unlike other superhumans, the Death King, Advakiel, keeps his mouth shut and moves his hands diligently without any spells or words.

Every time she moved her hand, hundreds of small soul weapons, like fireflies, flew toward the black sky, where they swam and disappeared.

Although the superhumans’ attacks seemed ineffective, the size of the black sky summoned by the highest level demon was rapidly shrinking.

The black sky, which was the size of a playground when first summoned, is now the size of a living room.

[Did I tell you?]

And the narrowed Black River alone was enough to pose a threat to us, to me, to be exact. The guy was still nowhere to be seen, and only his voice was echoing in the black sky.

“Don’t worry. Master.”

Did I feel anxiety of unknown origin? Punishment slowly raised the sword and calmly reassured me, and I nodded to her words.

To be honest, at this moment, in this very dangerous and imminent situation, the emotions I felt were not of the type of tension.

Should I say it’s a kind of self-destruction?

It’s not because I feel pathetic hiding behind women simply because Arcana is a woman.

Inaction that does not suit this place at all. Master level, in some ways, is a level that is difficult to achieve at this age, but that is the case in the normal continental situation. However, I was satisfied with the fact that I could spend the night with the Arcanas, and I recently remembered thinking, ‘This is enough.’

‘That’s pathetic.’

There are two Arcana who cannot move because of me, or more precisely, out of concern for my safety.

Punisher and clown.

Above all, the three dragons took advantage of this chaos and escaped a long time ago. Of course, all three dragons were at least seriously injured, but that doesn’t change the fact that they escaped.

The reason I couldn’t track them down to the end was because of me.

There is no way to know how far they will run, and the distance the Arcana and Card Master can fall is limited.

[die. Regretting that you made me angry.]

“None of us will die.”

May’s eyes were sharper than ever as she answered the man’s self-talk, wondering if there was any need to answer.

Her eyes show not a single emotion.

It reminded me of May in the past when she was a chieftain and mercilessly killed beastmen of other races in war.

“Ten people. Kill me.”

As soon as Mei’s command was given, ten of the rat gods who were carrying people around their waists outside the barrier cut off the heads of the people they were wearing around their waists.

Without any hesitation.

[…] What are you doing?]

This situation.

weird.

Normally it should be the other way around, right?

It is right for demons to kill humans and we should be angry at their actions.

What happened is that we on the continent’s side are killing humans and the demons are getting angry.

“You pretend to be so confident, as if you will go all the way, but in reality, you created a hole to escape, right? Those humans.”

[Humans?]

A barrier laid out by a witch.

I could see the humans outside that barrier, but I couldn’t see them?

The man’s voice conveyed a meaning that was truly incomprehensible.

“Ah, that’s right. Witch sister.”

“Okay.”

When the witch took a hot shower, she ran her hand over a part of the barrier, as if wiping away moisture from a mirror.

Was it only then that he discovered the humans hanging around the waists of rat kidneys outside?

[Uh, how!!]

The black sky shook with the man’s voice of genuine surprise.

“We have no intention of letting you go. Only half left.”

People are dying again. Looking at the clothes they wear and their behavior, they look like nobles or people who are well off.

People who would never have thought for a moment that there would be kidnapping and such a meaningless death in their lives are dying like that.

And then.

The black sky, the black stream, began to fluctuate more violently and, unexpectedly, quickly begin to shrink.
