About three weeks have passed since we passed through the Sulphur forest.
That led me and Phil to Valhalla, a land that connects the three continents that exist in Earth.
But we're still in trouble there.
"Don't run away, Build Error! Compete in questioning!
"I don't know what to fight for! That's the army!
We were being chased around in Valhalla by Lieutenant General Grimm and dozens of demonic armies specializing in manoeuvre.
When I arrived in Valhalla, I saw the land and whined.
"You feel like a barren earth..."
The journey to get here was largely a landscape that could be called wilderness, but I thought it was a simple expression of wilderness.
Looking around, not a single tree has grown, and on the contrary, not even weeds.
The ground doesn't seem to have enough water and there are fine cracks going on, and it feels like a step in front of the desert.
Wherever I turned my eyes, it was a dead land with no sense of the breath of life: rock or sand.
This is the only land connected by three continents: Wolds, Meermill and Fuvel, and if you are going to come and go through the continent by land, you will definitely go through it first.
So it seems that Valhalla has been a battleground for 1000 years for Wolves' Dragon King, Meermill's Beast King and Fuvel's Demon King to compete for martial arts, so that the land is dead?
Also, because of the lack of food, there are few living monsters in this Valhalla.
If I were there, that would be as much as a few monstrous birds and hyenas like the Golem that move with magic and the bald taka that target the creatures who worked so hard while traversing Valhalla.
But they're so strong. Golem in particular was also a mendokusai enemy to deal with.
However, the frequency of encounters with monsters has decreased dramatically compared to the journey so far, so we are able to travel quite smoothly.
I thought it would be possible to tread without any particular problems if I brought in enough water and food, around three days after entering Valhalla.
But I didn't really understand what it meant to be the land that connects the continent to the continent.
The only connection between the continent and the continent means that quite a few people go through here.
And Valhalla doesn't have much place to hide herself.
In other words, here it is easy to meet people who try to come and go to and from the continent, and furthermore, it can be very mendous if there is resentment towards me or something like that and they chase me around.
As we rode through Valhalla on Gardia, we discovered one group far away.
"... Isn't that the devil tribe?
"Yeah... maybe..."
When I gazed closely, the body of that group was green or blue, coloring what I didn't think was very human.
Besides, the group is all armed.
I don't care how you look at it, it's not the key.
Well, it's natural to be armed if you're walking around here, but there's a sense of unity that feels more like an army than just a passerby.
"... Demon Army, huh"
I guessed that group was the Demon Army.
There seems to be quite a few people who are capable of fighting just to get to this Valhalla once, seeing earthly adventurer parties and caravans (caravans) moving in about 5-20 people.
But there are more than 100 armed demon groups we're looking at.
That would no longer be anything but an army.
"… do we detour and proceed as close as possible"
"Right..."
I'm not sure if that group is from here the army that was at war with the Beasts before.
But if my nasty imagination had hit me, and someone in that army remembered our faces, it would be a very troubling situation.
So I decided to instruct Gardia to stay as close as possible to the demonic group.
But if those guys are the Demon Army I saw at Meermill, why are they here?
Are you saying that you are in the middle of finishing your purpose and turning back to the Huvel continent?
So what happens to the Beast Kings after all?
…… Mr. Singh! "
And as I was giving thought to the beast tribe I met on Meermill continent, a fireball that seemed to be magic from a bunch of demons suddenly flew towards us.
But when he sees it, Gardia takes evasive action before I give the order and succeeds in avoiding the attack without jeopardy.
"... I'm not shooting at you right now."
"... yeah"
Me and Phil looked at each other to see what it meant what just happened.
"Long time no see, Build Error! I missed you!
A man of great magnitude came forward from within the demon army and shouted so.
"Wow..."
When I saw the man, I creased between my eyebrows and raised my voice just to say I saw something I didn't like.
"My name is Grim Hazard! We met here, but it's our centenary! I'll take your neck!
…………
The big green man standing in front of the Demon Army, Grimm, was burning his fighting spirit at us.
When it comes to Grimm, it's the name of a disastrous demon clan that we fought when we were flown to Meamir Continent.
At that time, the Grimm stopped because my Time Suspension was activated on its own, which prompted the Demons to pull up, right?
I'm not particularly surprised that he's able to move normally because it's been over two months, but I can't believe I came across him here.
It's too bad luck no matter how easy this place is to be confused with people.
... or didn't he just call me "Build Error"?
How does he know my nickname?
"We're getting away with this anyway! Gardia!"
"Fuck off!
But not if you're thinking about that question right now.
I don't even want to fight an army opponent.
That's why I instructed Gardia to run away.
"Nah!? You're gonna run away! Yeah, I'm not letting you get away with this, Build Error!
"Come on!"
But Grimm's not gonna let me get away with it.
When Gardia started running for the Wolds continent with us on board, Grimm also brought dozens of his men after him.
"You're the head of the army! Don't let the Admiral take the lead and chase one of the soldiers around!
"Don't get me out of this! This is a sign of respect that I would not be able to fathom you without me! Now stop running and fight me!
Turning to the back. When I put in a loud penetration, I let go of the grimm chasing me on a big lizard saying this behavior was legitimate.
Then do something about the people that follow you from behind.
If we stop here, we'll be surrounded by demons.
I definitely don't want to fight in a drift between Awesomes like that.
Even if I take down Grimm, there's no guarantee the people around me will miss it.
Can you hang out with those guys?
"Gardia! Faster!
"Fuck!
That's why I'm ordering Gardia to walk as fast as she can.
Then the distance from the demon army opened up a little bit.
Apparently Gardia's legs are faster than those riding lizards.
"Ku...... magic best team! Previous!"
"Hey!?
A group of dozens of Demon Army men with canes in their hands came forward, apparently with excellent mobility to follow Grimm.
They magically produced fireballs, water balls, dirt balls, and things like wind and thunder, and they gutted us.
They're unforgiving.
I hold Phil in my arms as I pound my tongue in my mouth, trying to protect her and Gardia and stand behind my big shield.
But such behavior was useless.
The magic that came flying toward us fogged out before it hit my big shield.
I was a little surprised to see this phenomenon, but I understood that this was the effect of "Blessings of the Spirit King," which puts up a barrier to shutting out most of the magic.
I had come across a few monsters around Alfheim that have been using magic to see how that passive skill works, but I didn't expect an angry magic rush like now to play without a problem.
For now you will have to thank the Spirit King.
That's how we slowly distance ourselves from the Grimm and the others, and it was about five hours later that we finally shook off the Demon Army.
But the shake was temporary.
Even after that, the Grimm and the others persisted in pursuing us even if they lost sight of us.
Hi. This one's up there at speed, but he's got better health over there.
As a result, we were going to be chased around by them for about a week.
"Come on, give up and go back to the Fuvel Continent! You were in retreat! This is what an army general can do!
"There's no obstacle where I'm out of the army on my way home! It's better to miss you here than that!
"Right, motherfucker!
When they yelled at the grimm chasing us all the way around, they yelled back at it.
I have to wonder if that's really okay with your military discipline.
Well, the truth is, I don't know how you want to get rid of me when you create the cause that led you to withdraw your troops.
The yelling whilst being chased around for the past week or so somehow showed how the Grims were in Valhalla.
Apparently, the Demon Army has been in a state of confusion for a while because of my teasing.
Lieutenant General Grimm, who was in a position to lead the army, said he had eaten my Time Suspension and remained stopped for about a month.
So the Demon Army was turning back from the Sulphur Forest to the area to the south, trying to get a better attitude?
But by the time Grimm's time was on the move, an order to withdraw appeared to have come from the Demon King, a true general on the Demon side, and the Demon Army was probably on its way back to the Fuvel continent.
After waiting for Grimm to return after deciding that it was risky to set things up with the Beasts while the trump tags in the army's top and battle stopped working, the army was forced to wait for a long time.
Then the food, money, etc. that would only sustain the army became considerable, and now they turned back the army and the Mazui.
And by the time Grimm realized, the army was already withdrawing... Apparently.
I kind of get the feeling that it's my fault when I hear that, but I'm not even a demonic person, so let's not think about it in depth.
Instead, let's just assume that I didn't sacrifice myself by interrupting the wars between the Demons and the Beasts.
That's better mental health.
But still, you've done bad things to these guys.
Especially Grimm, who had made him say Buybuoy as a militant among the Demon Army, had leaked something that might also shake his position in this case.
That's why I keep running away because I didn't mean to get into the war, and I don't want to apologize or take responsibility for it.
But it's time for depression.
I think we're almost to Wolds continent, and should I slap these guys here once before then?
As I cared about my back with that in mind, I could see giant fireballs flying from the front toward the grimes.
When I saw it, I looked back in surprise, and a few kilometers away from the deserted wilderness, there was a potpourri of people and horses in the cradle.
You've been shooting magic from so far away.
What did you think you did that for?
"Fuck! What's the attack now!
…………
... but now the attack fell in front of the grims.
Is this on purpose or something?
You didn't hurt the Grimes from that distance, did you?
I don't understand what's going on, and I give Gardia instructions to go to the person who shot the magic.
"! That...!
"Huh..."
Me and Phil put a stunned look on my face.
He looked familiar to the woman who shot the magic and the swordsman next door, but that's why.
"What are they doing here...!
I loosen my mouth while I say that.
It's more natural to think you've come to see us from the other side than to think we've met by chance here.
They must have come to help us.
A swordsman ran for us - the Grimm and the others.
That run is not otherwise fast, but I can't feel a gap at all in the operation itself.
"It's been a long time since I've seen you... you've caught quite a big one!
The man said that and crossed us, pointing a rather long cut of the Japanese knife in his hand towards the grimm and the others.
"There's no shortage for them!" Mizuchi "!!!
And the man hoisted the machete in heaven - waved it down.
Then the earth touched by the machete is broken, and its rift is directed in a straight line towards the grims.
"Gww!? All units, stop!
The man's unleashed slaughter proceeded as he cracked the ground, dividing left and right in front of the Grimm's eyes, creating a cliff that would be a great separation there and here.
Grimm also had dozens of demons who had led him through it braking suddenly.
I didn't know you could make such a judgment on Dai. Is the boulder powerful enough for even the Demon Nation to get into five fingers?
Grimm was right because the Demons didn't have to fall off a cliff.
"Hey, how you doing, Sin, Phil?"
The man who stopped Grimm and the others from progressing safely turns back to us.
"I picked you up."
The man who picked us up, Kengo, the strongest attacker known as Weapon Destruction, my master, grinned with a niggle with his hands on his inert bearded jaw.
