Of course, not all of them can be real.

The real Gernom must be hiding inside the clone.

Boom-!

“Don’t think straight, just move. Isn’t that more fun?”

However, each clone fires magic.

This was a very bad sign.

This means that the clone can use the same abilities as the main body.

“Teacher.”

Elin gave a look of approval.

I would have stopped it if possible.

This time, Luke had no choice but to allow it.

“This is not the time to think about damage. Sweep it away.”

Even if the Licensing Territory is destroyed, we must capture Gernom here.

Otherwise, the empire will be ruled by demons.

Kookookookookook… .

Elin gathered mana without hesitation.

The amount of mana itself was still overflowing.

As I continued to pour out powerful energy, my Mana Heart gradually began to feel tense.

“Huh… .”

“Saint.”

Luke noticed that Ellen’s complexion was bad.

Called Aurora.

“Please wait a moment.”

Aurora noticed Elin’s symptoms right away.

Place your hand near your forehead.

I prayed to the great goddess.

“Give us the power to stop the evil ones… .”

A saint loved by the goddess.

There was no way Aurora’s request could be denied.

Hwaak-

Mana Heart’s fatigue is relieved.

Wooo-!!

The output of the gathered mana becomes several times stronger.

“Ssup… This looks a bit dangerous?”

“I have to block it. It’s no fun to play a game that goes over in one go.”

The clones chattered noisily and charged their magic.

Boom-!

Dozens of magic were thrust into Elin.

“Coolook… Okay, it’s okay, go ahead… !”

Tristin, who had been building a barrier since a while ago, barely managed to stop it.

Even though I was receiving the saint’s divine power, I couldn’t hold back the coughing up of blood.

“Hiya… That’s really well balanced.”

“That’s right. Aren’t we exactly like that right now? The Demon King who’s trying to destroy the world.”

“They’re a warrior party.”

“It’s not a bad role-play. Then let’s try to be faithful to the role of the Demon King.”

Gernom did not underestimate Tristin’s level.

Kiiing-

They gathered the magic in one place.

The magic is growing like a snowball.

From bullets to baseballs, soccer balls, cannonballs, and even meteorites.

Ssss… .

The condensed magic of the demon avatars produced an ominous sound.

Tristin’s face turned pale.

That can’t be stopped.

I had an immediate gut feeling that it was true.

“After, I have to retreat… .”

Tristin creaked and turned her head away.

“It’s okay.”

Ellen said calmly.

Meteorite-level magic?

It doesn’t matter.

Shu… .

The sound of burning can be heard from afar.

Suddenly the air becomes warm.

“What is it? What is it trying to show?”

“Ah… I think I’m going to cry because I’m looking forward to it… !”

The clones looked at Elin with eyes full of anticipation.

“You can block this too, right?!”

He threw a magical sphere the size of a meteorite.

Kiiing-!

A black sphere advancing while emitting an ominous sound.

Ellen flicked her hand without blinking.

Hwaaak-

The magical identity is revealed as the clouds clear.

Kukukukukuku…!

A meteorite falls.

“Ha, that’s all you prepared? Then that’s disappointing… .”

The clone couldn’t bring himself to continue speaking.

“Just?”

Even though it’s broad daylight.

The red stars that were scattered across the sky shone brightly.

No, that wasn’t a red star.

Kwakwakwakwa-!

“Then let’s try blocking it.”

Red-hot meteorites fall as rain.

There was no room for the magic sphere to reach Elin.

“Really… you’re the best, Elin… !”

Now the airlift has been switched.

The one who needs to block it is Gernom.

The clones quickly gathered the magical energy they had fired.

A shield was deployed to block dozens of meteors.

Kwaaahh …

A rain of meteorites crashed into the ocean.

* * * * *

Beep beep beep-

Even though I cast a hearing protection spell.

The tinnitus lingered strongly.

I couldn’t even see what was in front of my eyes.

The moment of collision.

Everything was dyed white.

Ellen started to worry later.

Didn’t they blow up not just Gernom but the entire East?

So, the Rysen Territory was essentially destroyed by Elin…

Beep beep… .

With that thought, the tinnitus subsided.

My vision, which had turned white, also returned to normal.

What Elin witnessed when she came to her senses was this.

“… … ”

It was a wide sandy beach.

It completely evaporated the water that had been the sea until just a moment ago.

The fragments that were pouring onto the shore also exploded without leaving a trace.

Only the bloodstains stuck here and there hinted at the clones’ end.

Elin looked back hurriedly.

I thought that even the Licensing Territory would have been turned to dust by this level of shock.

“… … ?”

All that was visible behind was a black outer dimension.

“… I thought you would do it moderately, Your Majesty.”

It was only when I heard Luke’s voice that it sounded like he was about to collapse at any moment that I realized.

“Teacher!”

Spatial separation.

Just like they did in the West.

Luke dropped the coast out of the dimension.

Thanks to that, there would have been no damage to the Licensing Territory.

Ellen ran over to Luke in a panic, afraid that something might have gone wrong.

“I’m fine, Princess. Aren’t you sharing a mana heart? ”

Luke stole the coffee from the sink.

My brain felt like it was burning out because I had to quickly think about the space.

There was no strain on the body at all.

“Yes, yes… Luke is fine.”

Aurora also assisted with her divine powers from the side.

“I knew it was great, but I didn’t know it would be this much… .”

Aurora looked at Elin with wavering eyes.

It felt like common sense was being destroyed.

It is nearly impossible for a single human to summon even one meteorite.

But dropping dozens of meteorites?

This is truly the realm of the gods… .

“My, what ungodly thoughts am I having!”

Aurora slapped her cheeks as a thought occurred to her without her knowing it.

Even if you are a saint who is loved by the goddess, you might get scolded for thinking like this.

Of course, the fact that it ended with me getting scolded was also proof that I was receiving a lot of love… .

“It’s not over yet.”

Sling-

Leo pulled out his Dragon Sword and relaxed his loose tension.

Creak, creak.

Gernom’s clones that had been stuck to the sandy beach rose again.

“Wow, wow… I really didn’t expect it to be this much.”

“Haa… It’s thrilling. How can humans be this lovable?”

The sincere gaze of Gernom.

Ellen almost threw up.

“The number has decreased significantly.”

Luke patted Elin on the back and pointed to the clones.

After being hit by a meteorite once, the number was reduced to about fifteen.

In other words, the clone still exists.

Luke was honestly more surprised by Gernom’s tenacity than by Elin’s magic.

It’s not even a cockroach.

How can someone like that survive?

“Shall I call you again?”

Ellen pointed to the sky.

It was a crazy thing to say about dropping more meteorites without any concern.

“No. There’s no need to call in a meteorite at that level.”

Leo strode towards the clones.

It’s impossible to stop hundreds of Gernoms with just one person.

It can easily handle a little over ten people.

Hit the button!

Leo runs quickly and swings his sword.

“Um… You used to be really interesting, but now I only have eyes for Elin.”

Kaang-!

The dragon sword is blocked.

The clone created magic like a sword.

“Huh… Still, it’s a bit hot because it’s a dragon’s tooth?”

Boom! Boom!

He detonated his own clone and filled up the shaking magic.

Kagak-

Leo deflected the sword.

He fired a series of shots.

Kang- Kaang-! Kwaang!

Each time you swing your sword, your clones shrink.

Conversely, the magic energy that is gathered into a sword shape becomes increasingly stronger.

Suddenly, all of the clones disappeared and only Gernom remained.

“Is it because he’s the son of Kalchad? He swings his sword so well?”

I was impressed in words.

Kagak-

Leo’s swordsmanship is completely blocked.

I changed my style three times, from a half sword to a quick sword and then back to a heavy sword.

Gernom accepted it leisurely.

“Why are you looking like that? Did you really think you could beat me with a sword? You couldn’t even beat me with a sword?”

Kuk.

Leo’s sword gains strength.

Germone didn’t miss the slightest change.

Gernom let out a scream when he realized that Kalchad was a reverse scale.

“You can’t beat that piece of shit, so what difference do you think it would make if you changed your sword to a better one? Of course, if I get stabbed, it would hurt. If I can stab you!”

Bam! Bam!

Gernom, who even counterattacks.

Leo accepted it calmly.

I was getting pushed back more and more.

“Teacher. Shouldn’t I help you?”

“Interfering now will only cause trouble.”

Cooperation between a wizard and an inspector who have not worked together before is detrimental to both parties.

Besides, aren’t Elin and Luke space magicians who mainly use area-of-effect attacks?

Instead of needlessly interrupting, Luke looked closely at Gernom.

“But I don’t see the peacock.”

“… Huh?”

You can see that the space has been separated.

What’s inside here is Gernom’s clone.

Members of the secret task force and the Holy Nation, including Leo.

And that was the end for Elin and Luke.

What about Carlchad Bertain then?

“Leo! Step back!”

As soon as the creepy thought occurred to me, I gave instructions.

Leo backed off without asking any questions.

“Why is that?”

“That’s a clone. The main body is somewhere else.”

Jjaeng-!

Luke returned the separated space back to its original state.

Choaaaak-

The separated seawater came in and filled the empty space.

“Saint, can you stop that clone?”

“Yes? Of course it is possible, but what is that a clone? ”

“There is no sign of Kalchad Bertain anywhere near the East.”

Even though I expanded my spatial awareness, all I could feel was Gernom’s presence.

So I was sure.

Gernom is a demon who made a contract with Kalchad.

There’s no way they can operate this far away.

In other words, it means that it is a clone created to steal attention.

“Hmm… Am I only giving you easy questions? I should have given you the answer after giving you at least one arm or leg… .”

Gernom… no, Gernom’s clone scratched his head.

Luke Bucklin.

Because of that space wizard, things strangely don’t go as planned.

“You can’t send it yet… . Let’s play a little more. What do you think? Huh?”

The eyes of the clone glow eerily.

“I’ll leave the rest to you.”

“… Yes, may the goddess bless you.”

After Luke entrusted his clone to Aurora.

“Your Majesty, please open the portal.”

“Okay.”

Got out of the East.

If it’s not North, West, South or East.

There was only one place for Carl Chad to go.

“To the Bertain Mansion.”

* * * * *

The three arrived at the capital square, leaving their clones in Aurora’s care.

“… … ”

“… … ”

“… … ”

No one dared open their mouths.

This was because the scenery was completely different from the disasters seen in each region.

The sky was covered in darkness.

A land immersed in silence.

An oddly quiet street.

if?

Luke, feeling anxious, went into a random store.

“… You fell asleep.”

The shop owner was asleep.

“Ugh… That’s it… !”

Sometimes he makes unintelligible sounds.

He said this with a grimace.

Are you having a nightmare?

When you think about it.

Thud thud.

Heavy footsteps broke the stiflingly heavy silence.

Let’s turn our heads.

“You finally came to see me.”

Gernom grinned with satisfaction.

“You blocked the storm of swords, and you dispelled the brainwashing of the group… You weren’t fooled by your clone? You exceeded my expectations. I sincerely praise you.”

Clap clap clap clap.

Gernom clapped.

“But the damn contractor’s work isn’t done yet.”

He bowed his head in an elegant manner.

“So let’s play together for a little bit. In this nightmare street.”
