A giant demon was reported to have appeared, and we took the Dal 'Agestia to the location immediately.

There was a giant snake. No, should I say a monster in the shape of a snake? Countless heads of serpents grow on huge torso comparable to Dal 'Agestia.

I feel slow traveling, but that's just because I'm a giant. It's actually much faster than a horse.

The soldiers are acting to distance themselves from what they perceive to be obviously dangerous. It was the damage that had not come out, but the collapse of the formation was noticeable from above.

Huge for a huge opponent, 'Pale' chose to bump Dal 'Agestia without getting lost.

"Lowo!"

"... you're lying. What the heck, that snake thing!?

Dal 'Agestia is a skeleton dragon that can also be described as a trump card for 'Pale'. In a naturally occurring unique class of demons, they are strong enough to have no hands or feet.

Even though that Dal 'Agestia continues to strike with all its might, the serpentine's compound does not try to stop that movement.

Dal 'Agestia's nails have slashed off the snake's neck, and his fangs are chewing its head off. But the wound is instantly healed, and he is fighting back against Dal 'Agestia.

"I didn't know you had the ability to regenerate like a demon."

"No purifying magic attacks, either. Your head will regenerate even if it becomes dust, and it won't likely reach the back of your torso."

Marya came down close as she blew one of the snake's heads off. Marya's Combat Style destroys the opponent's area with an enhanced fist and punches purifying magic into that area. There is no flashness or speed like Wolfe, but sophistication is up there and would be comparable to Gradona's.

"You probably blow that head off with your bare hands too...... Are you gonna be the strongest archbishop ever?

"It's not something you can be proud of, even if you're only good at fighting."

"You don't deny it. Only the guardian of that Ilias..."

While Dal 'Agestia was holding the giant back, we tried all sorts of attacks. But it never works.

That snake's head is captured by a small subject like us, and he's going to fight back. Avoidance is fine thanks to a massive attack, but if you take a decent blow, you won't be safe.

"Yokes, how's it going around here? Even from their opponents, that snake is one of the trump cards. I don't think you're just gonna let the monster go and do anything."

"That's... I've tried to detect magic in a wide area using formations, but there's no such reaction nearby"

Yokes, who can't even slash in with his sword, was surrounded by aides and checking on what was going on around him. I guess I've tried to detect all the ranges in my sight to see the magic formations that expand my detection range.

In response to the report, Marya retrieves the crystal for communication and completes the brief report.

"... can the Demon King of the Ethers and Ekdoik do something about the arr like this? Duvreoli and Yokus come with me."

"I don't mind that...... do you have something to think about?

"Gahne, in the demonic realm, Elias and the others are already in battle with the demons. If each demon leads an army of demons, they must also be on the side of the Mezzis Demon Realm. But I'm not around here."

- Is that a snake?

"Yes, the formation of the army fighting demons while avoiding that snake is not in a beautiful state to flatter."

If the Demons intend to strike this army with a snake, they will carry out an ambush on the sides or the rear.

If we are to defeat that snake, who excelled in its ability to regenerate, Dal 'Agestia, who seals the movement, and the 'pale' who manipulates it, are imperative. If you want to explore the means of crusading in many ways, I'd better stay.

"Got it. I'll take care of it. I'll take care of the Devil Clan."

"It's enough to stop the worst. There's a wise king on this side, so whatever you can do, it's springing up."

Duvreoli takes Yokus and Marya flying away. Now, we have to explore the means to defeat the Serpent Demon in earnest.

"'Aye,' how long does Dal 'Agestia keep?

"It's mine, so you're gonna have trouble getting a sweet look at it. Differentially, it's better this way, and even if it's not as good as that snake, my magic can heal the wound. If there's a problem... weight."

Physically, it looks like five minutes. Dal 'Agestia and the snake, but Dal 'Agestia is a skeleton dragon. By weight, snakes are overwhelmingly higher. Due to this, Dal 'Agestia is also unable to contain the progression of snakes.

"I wish I could even tangle my legs with chains..."

"Snakes don't have legs. Even if it is, it's just too much."

"... no, you're not"

"To?"

Expand the chain to surround the snake and let it dive from there into the ground. It then activates dirt magic and turns the foot of the snake one after the other into a sandbox. The loss of the stepping scaffold caused the serpent to lose momentum and stopped the movement completely by Dal 'Agestia's body.

"Why don't you just swim in the water and break your posture?"

"Enough about the scaffolding. But that's not bad. If this is the case, meet the conditions for buying enough time.

A serpent, who was attacking only the part of his head stretched out of his torso, is using his entire body to get tangled up in Dal 'Agestia. Being stopped from moving would have given priority to eliminating obstacles over moving forward.

Even though the power of Dal 'Agestia pulls a thousand tangled snake heads one after the other, it gradually fills its body before its ability to regenerate at supervelocity. Even the ripped areas are not returning to dust and are beginning to fuse with nearby areas and increase their volume.

Dal 'Agestia's posture collapses, and the earth sways tremendously with the impact of its giants falling together to the ground.

"That's not good. That's no different than scratching algae in water. Don't let them seal your movements in reverse."

"You don't have to calmly analyze it, you'll see! Oh, no! What are you doing with my little girl?

The fact that the movement has stopped is an achievement, albeit in dangerous circumstances. Then we need to rethink the means that have been made possible from there.

Snakes are only violent, but only aimed at Dal 'Agestia. The soldiers are feeling dangerous and retreating, so no harm has been done to that extent. I can't feel the momentum to that point, either, because the demonic movement doesn't exist in the chain of command.

Using chains that have been made huge to help with the movement, they will destroy the site of the snake that is tightening up the joint portion of Dal 'Agestia. But this just buys time, and before it does, Dal 'Agestia will be completely swallowed up.

The 'pale' beside him concentrates and sends a precaution to Dal 'Agestia with his eyes closed. By sharing his senses, he seems to be letting Dal 'Agestia do magic enhancements and so on.

"Shall I shake it?

"I can't. But if you do that, you're gonna consume a lot of magic on that kid. If you want to buy time, you might want to keep it that way..."

"Well...... then keep it up. I'll try everything here."

Expand the chains, each carrying out an attack while imparting a different magic. All of them are ineffective before the snake's ability to regenerate, even if they try different types such as poison and curse.

The snake's flesh is not that sturdy. It can be necrotized with poison and eroded with a curse. However, if more than a certain amount of damage is inflicted, the perimeter of the area collapses simultaneously and the expansion of the damage is suppressed. By the time the next attack is carried out, a new flesh will regenerate, forcing a barren attack.

Return to the 'pale' once. We still feel spare from her expression and magic, but we can still swallow each other that it's not a preferred situation.

"No, you don't."

"If we don't do something about that playback capability, we won't be able to move on."

"Maybe you should contact around 'Bea' and borrow a few dragons that can burn off a wide range of them. That's how much time you'll get."

"Sure, the ability to play is unusual, but is there a limit to the amount of magic? If only we could hold back..."

"Ekdoyk! Can you hear me!

I heard Marito's voice from the crystal for communication I had kept in my nostalgia. Direct contact from Marito means that an emergency has occurred. Retrieve the crystal and readjust to the state where it can be replied to.

"I hear you. What's happening?

"In the virtual world of the Golden Demon King, it was confirmed that a village near the Mezis Demon Realm was burning down. Skipping to contact Archbishop Ukka, who is supposed to be in that village, will not see any reaction '

"Oh, demons!

The virtual world of the Golden Demon King is the power to observe the consequences of policies originally conceived. I can look to the future to some extent. Exceptionally, however, only the interference of demon kings and demons cannot be reflected in their future.

Confirmation that it's burned means it's already burned in the real world. The failure to observe it is the result of the devil's interference.

I can see unpleasant sweat flowing through my spine. A village near the Mejs demonic realm means a village where the army is preparing to retreat.

"Hey, there's Natra."

"The evacuation of the non-combatants is done before the battle begins. It has also been confirmed by those in the virtual world that they are on the move."

"Oh, yeah... good... ha..."

Hiding in the 'pale' relief breath, I breathe, too. But not if you're relieved. If the demons appeared and the village was destroyed, one retreat for the army would have been lost.

The formation would collapse more and morale would drop significantly. And most importantly, where will be the next place where the demons who have finished erasing the village will move?

"Do you know where the Demons are going?

'We also skipped contact with Marya, who is over the sky, but said we would not see any change in the rear of the Mejs army. Still in the village, retreated, or dived further inward. "

"... Got it. I'll deal with this as soon as I can."

'I hear the situation from Marya. Wisdom comes from me, too. First try many means at least one and get me informed'

"Oh."

The best development of supplementing the Demons first and defeating them before they could be rammed was crushed. We need to stop chasing the Demons as soon as possible, out of a good situation as long as we can buy time.

"I'm coming closer again. 'Aye' asks for Dal 'Agestia's backup as it stands"

"Whether you want to open it or retreat, get results as soon as possible!

Fly and move over the snake. Whether all heads are pointing their consciousness toward Dal 'Agestia or I'm in range of attack, there's no change in movement.

"There's something uncomfortable about this demon. What's that? What other demons are is decidedly different..."

When I first saw this demon, I felt strange. Apart from the threat as an enemy, this snake has something that no other demon has.

I need some information now. We must observe, reflect, and at least find the next thing that connects us.

How would the compatriots have identified the essence? The compatriots had succeeded in deciphering the emotions engulfed in the demon simply by observing it. Even if we don't get that far, we might be able to decipher something by observing it so carefully.

"This demon is the only special reason, created by the Black Demon King with another emotion? No, wait. Emotions? Right, that."

Yes, this snake is now attacking Dal 'Agestia with a clear hostility. The other demons are attacking humans as if they were handling them lightly, but they can feel the will to kill them from this snake.

Close to it when the beast preys on its prey, but still has feelings. This is a huge difference...... so far I can't think of any means to take advantage of it. We may be able to move Dal 'Agestia, who is being turned hostile, induce snakes, etc., but it is not a decision maker.

"But is it worth digging a little deeper?"

Land on one of the snake's heads and pierce the chain. In the midst of launching an attack on Dal 'Agestia, it doesn't even react with stimuli to the extent that the needle stings.

It gradually slides the chain into the back and concentrates the nerves into the chain. From the chain comes the feeling in the snake's body, the temperature, and the feeling of the magic that is flowing.

We narrow our consciousness to those of magic and read the quality of magic. Harkdock was able to get a lot of information just by sensing magic with detective magic. Then maybe if I keep feeling this magic, I'll see something.

"Huh!"

The body shakes with the shock of Dal 'Agestia pulling a thousand cuts of the tangled snake's body. Secure your body and the head of the snake with multiple chains. More, we need to focus more.

What you can feel from the magic is frustration with Dal 'Agestia. Behind it is like anger towards all humans. No, is this just anger? It's like this...

"Duty... feeling? You're assuming this snake has to kill humans?

This snake is currently going foolishly and is foolishly trying to eliminate obstacles. There can't even be reason there.

Is that the kind of thing that has this kind of human thought? No. All you need to think about is assuming you had it and spreading your thoughts from it.

Receive and understand the emotions of this serpent from the wavelength of magic. It's what you could do to a compatriot who can't handle magic. If I'm good at handling magic, even if I'm inexperienced...!

"Huh! What's that..."

For a moment, I saw something. Strange sights, many human beings...... beings who looked like people were kneeling.

There is one woman standing ahead. Black hair, black eyes. From the thought that seeped out of the sight, I could intuitively understand that the woman was the Black Demon King.

Is the sight now a memory of this snake's past? If so......

"Well, you..."
