Kono Sekai ga Game da to, Ore dake ga Shitte Iru

(I should have seen it in the game, but I knew it would be different when I saw it in this world)

Again, I saw the biggest obstacle in front of the Demon King's Castle, the dark clouds above and the boiling blood pond on the ground.

The clouds of darkness floating in the sky groan to boast of the evil power accumulated in them, and the bright red pond at the bottom of the earth is so vivid that the blood odor is likely to drift so far, boiling with gopogopo and waiting for its prey.

But Mitsuki, standing next to me, doesn't change her expression at all when she sees that hellish sight.

Instead, I pin my cat's ear like I've been inspired to fight, sending a prompting gaze at me.

"… give instructions. If you want, I'll be the spear."

I felt my raised mind calm by those words that contained my emotions.

... right.

We should have been all ready to get through this.

Not if you're aware of it in this place.

"Before we do that, let's check it out"

I first looked back at my buddies when I took out the "Mute's Thunder Needle", an item I had always prepared to reduce the lightning damage of the dark clouds.

"Guys, do you wear the water dragon ring properly?

When I asked, all my people put their hands in front of me.

Everything in every hand is properly fitted with a water dragon ring that has' underwater aptitude 'and possesses' negative terrain effects in water 'special abilities.

Now we're ready to break through the blood pond.

"Okay! Well, let's go!!

When I said I looked at you, I stepped forward.

Then,

"Wait, please! At the beginning, I..."

Before Mitsuki tried to come forward,

"I don't really care, but you have no choice.

... be a great magician, and the guide of the water, Suthern commands.

Cursed, out of darkness, the roar of the Waterdemon. "

I got my signal, and Suthern came forward to line up with me, saying bump,

"Chanting?! What the hell...!?

I pushed my arm forward in a synchronous motion with me to leave the distracted mites behind,

"- Tidal Wave!!

"- Tidal Wave!!

Two at the same time, activate the magic!

What happened from there was a sight that could not happen in real world common sense.

Our palm suddenly leads to the sea, but there's so much water that I can't explain if I don't, that it just pops out of rage.

Shameless by the name of Tidal Wave, a great tsunami flows down to ravage mountain skin and rushes all the way down to the bottom of the fire escape.

Beyond that lies the castle of the disastrous Demon King.

The running stream of water, which decided to reverse drop to the bottom of the volcano, without reducing its speed in the slightest.

"Ugh!

I hit the castle with enough momentum to convey the vibrations of the collision this way.

"... intact?

But even if it rots, the castle of the demon king.

Even if it becomes destructive under the influence of reality, it will not be frightened by a half-breed shock.

But that's within the assumptions.

From the beginning, my aim is not in the castle itself.

"No, look closely. There must be a change."

To my words, Mitsuki gazed into his eyes and raised a voice of surprise.

"The water song in the blood pond, is increasing!?

I return my silent affirmation to Mitsuki's gaze at this one.

Same as when I wet Mitsuki's clothes.

When we use the magic of the water system in this world, the water that was born at that time will remain even after the magical effect has ended.

And the terrain here is soaked in a bowl.

Large quantities of water born on Tidal Wave, when the magical effects are over, naturally and beneath, accumulate at the bottom of the volcano, becoming part of the blood pond.

This is my blood pond remedy.

Nothing, eliminating or bypassing is the only solution.

- Add a large amount of water to the blood pond and dilute its effects across.

That was the answer I gave.

No matter how much water dragon rings had a 'underwater aptitude' and 'disable negative terrain effects in the water' special ability, I don't know if that boiling blood pond will be recognized as underwater, and I don't know if it will even disable the heat in the blood pond.

But why not add a ton of water to that blood pond and turn it into just 'red and lukewarm water'?

Perhaps the water dragon ring will work, and even if not, the threat to the blood pond will be minimized.

This is a little bit of a change of mind.

At first, he thought about drilling a hole somewhere to shed the pond's blood, or draining water, and immediately abstained from doing so.

The blood pond is at the bottom of the bowl-shaped terrain, the lowest level of the fire exit where the Demon King Castle is located.

Given the circumstances, it would be difficult to create a hole for draining water.

But that's where I noticed.

- Even if you can't drain the water, no, because you can't, can you do it if you store the water the other way around?

No matter how similar the blood pond may be to water, it must be liquid, no matter how horrible an object it is.

The presence of that blood pond over there means that there is an environment where liquids can accumulate.

And that became the starting point for this Demon King's Castle countermeasure.

"Not yet!

For once, I magically diluted my blood pond, and my measures are incomplete.

As soon as the first magic was over, I completed the next magic chant,

"Tidal Wave!"

Once again, I summon a great tsunami from my palm.

Again, it doesn't work enough to strike Demon King Castle on my magic, but that's fine.

As I thought, the blood pond at the bottom of the fire exit is obviously getting more water, and the red is obviously diminishing.

"Damn! Be a great magician to the water...... yeah, the following abbreviated Tidal Wave!

Slightly delayed, Southern also activates a second Tidal Wave.

The primary reason I brought Suthern into this fight is to get him to work here.

I have trouble getting you to work hard at best.

The magic we're using now, Tidal Wave, is the greatest range of attack magic in the magic of water attributes.

The power is no big deal at all, but the 'Cat Ear Cat' players hated it as' Enemy Attraction Magic 'because it boasts enough range of attack to cover the entire field when used in a flat place and keep all the monsters there active.

Especially since Suthern is somehow good at water attribute magic next to fire attribute magic, and makes this magic burst every now and then to attract even extra enemies, "Southern Hate! It can also be said that it was one of the culprits who created the" tide.

However, I could only think of as soon as Suthern could use this magic with a character who didn't receive the 'Blessing of the Demon King'.

We had no choice but to use this magic between Suthern and me, but although this magic itself had been purchased at a magician in the King's Capital, as it is, it is not proficient enough in my water attributes.

So on the first day of the special training, I learned by continuing to poke Shishaw with the spear of the water attribute I got in "The Cave of Running Water".

Naturally, before the special training, just after measuring everyone's level, I adjusted the magic of the apple on the last day of the special training, and the magic of the Tidal Wave was adjusted for this time.

As I previously confirmed when I talked about stardust flares, I know that 'the height of magic and the power of magic do not affect magic effects'.

The amount of water that comes out, no matter how powerful, is the same, so we customized it to be as powerful as possible, with as little chanting time and MP consumption.

Still not a magician. My MP is going to be bottom soon,

"... Kafuku, do you?

"Please!"

We have an MP potion that Suthern bought in advance.

I have apples, and Suthern has Mitsuki, and he throws MP potions to recover as the MP decreases.

Soon the blood pond, no, the red water song grew more and more, and it finally reached the entrance of the castle, also the height of the open castle gate,

"Please stop immediately!

Mitsuki, who made my cat ears jump a little, tries to stop me.

"It's too much! As it is, instead of diluting the blood pond, there is water inside Demon King's Castle...... no way!?

I responded with people's bad laughter to the look and cat ear freezing mitzki as I noticed something.

"No way."

Diluting the blood pond is still an outpost if you ask me.

The operations derived from it are the point of this attack.

"You don't have to bother fighting on the other guy's mound, do you?

So I thought I'd turn it into a field of convenience for us. "

"No way, are you..."

"Oh, probably as Mitsuki thinks -"

I replied forcefully to Mitsuki, who sifted her cat's ears just because she couldn't believe it.

"- Keep sinking Demon King Castle into the water and turning it over there into an 'underwater dungeon'!

This is the second phase of Operation Demon King's Castle Strategy.

As I explained earlier.

The Demon King Castle is located at the bottom of a soaking bowl of terrain, at the bottom of which is a blood pond.

If you can accumulate blood, there's no reason you can't accumulate water.

So hoard water all over the fire escape and submerge the Demon King's Castle.

And by backwashing commands, the doors of the Demon King's Castle are all open (...).

If you sink the castle here into the water, the water will flow easily into the castle and the Demon King castle will dungeon underwater.

Aquatic attributes, that is, monsters that have no fitness in the water drown (...) in the water.

Specifically, it slows down some percent of the movement compared to shore and eats proportional damage to HP.

It won't work for a Demon King with full resistance, but I don't think any other Monster of Demon King Castle has an aquatic attribute.

If you do well, you can significantly weaken the monsters in the castle without entering Demon King's Castle.

To that extent,

"… is complete. That's why it was a water dragon ring."

Mitsuki said in a frightened voice for some reason.

I'm not sure why you're being shy, but you're totally right about what you said.

The good thing about this operation is that doing it has very little disadvantage for us.

As long as we wear the water dragon ring, there will be no penalty for fighting in the water.

If only the castle monsters were weakened.

If you don't weaken it, you're just going to fight on a quinquennial condition.

No matter how you fall, you won't lose it.

"But what are you going to do if you take this as an attack and the monster inside comes out?

I answered this question with a smile.

"Of course I'll intercept you here then.

Well thunder from the clouds above is troublesome, but if you fight in a submerged place, you'll still be able to fight in your favor, and it's easier to fight for a minute that's wider than in the castle and has no traps.

... Besides, even Mitsuki can fight with all his might here, right?

To my words,

"You are absolutely, truly..."

Mitsuki bent her cat's ears in the wind, not knowing what to say.

Then let the cat's ears wander like they were looking for words for a while, and eventually, open their mouths with a calm face.

"Strange, right? If you were with me, I'd feel like I could do something about defeating the Demon King."

I'm constantly shooting magic into the fire escape.

"You bet! We will defeat the Demon King!

So, they all come back here smiling!

Yes, I laughed back at Mitsuki.

"... like this"

A few minutes later, Demon King Castle sank to the bottom of a completely reddish water, whose appearance could only be seen blurry.

Although there was Mitsuki's concern that a monster might emerge from inside, the Demon King's Castle remained quiet in disagreement with the proposal.

Despite dozens or hundreds of magic showers, there's no movement from inside.

So far, so good.

It's more surprising to set up an operation, and it's going smoothly and without any problems.

But......

(... what, this discomfort?)

Something, something doesn't fall to your heart.

The discomfort I've felt since the time I ran the operation, no, probably since I was setting up this operation.

I felt like I was missing something, stuck behind my neck.

(No, you think too much)

I shook my head immediately.

I'm getting there so well.

There's no reason to pretend to be an operation because of unfounded anxiety.

"Then, in a minute, we're going into Demon King's Castle!

Formation and placement, as per maneuver!

When I scream like that, I get a good reply from my buddies.

Given the Lipop thing, etc., it would be time to go into when the monster was dying from underwater damage.

If the operation goes well, we may be able to reach the demon king without labor.

While sinking Demon King's Castle into the water on Tidal Wave, he also told Mitsuki about the operation up to and including the Demon King.

No anxiety material... should be.

"... soma, jikan"

To apple words, face up.

And try to arouse your temper and put a decree of entry on everyone,

"- Huh, ha...!

Suddenly, a mighty chill broke through my body.

My legs fluttered as I tried to step out, and I nodded on the spot.

"Soma!!

"What's wrong?!

Apple's, Mitsuki's scream strikes my ear.

But I can't move my body.

The chills I just felt.

I know it would be a 'bad feeling' if I were to classify it, but the intensity of the shock wasn't at that level.

An ominous omen, elevated to the physical realm.

(Something is happening now, something is happening!!

I don't know anything, I'm just convinced that's all.

There's no way 'something' with such a hunch can end up being an ordinary thing.

(As it is, it will be irrevocable!

Spring up, odd certainty.

The feeling of agitation burns my chest.

The 'unpleasant feeling' I just felt.

Besides the 'feeling I'm missing something' I've always felt about it, there's no basis for anything.

Can I stop this important operation?

It was only a moment before I got so lost.

"Soma, what's wrong!?

"Ki, you suddenly what..."

"-Don 't come!

I scream with all my might to my fellow rushers one after another.

No, I tried to scream.

"Guys, right now, right here."

But that was a little, too late.

From behind, signs of swelling up.

"Become!?

It was the pillar of light that jumped into my eyes when I turned around.

The columns of light, more blurred than I had ever seen, stretched from the bottom of the water, from the area where the Castle of the Demon King was located, towards the sky.

"What? What, this..."

Its columns of light gently rush up into the sky and clash into the black clouds.

But that's where the surprise comes from.

"That's it!?

The pillar of light blew away its dark cloud in an instant (...), the only cloud that should only be able to move by the Demon King.

"Impossible, not..."

Words like that reach my ears.

I thought I put it in my mouth, no.

Looking next door, Suthern, who saw the pillars of light, was trembling with us, as he was frightened.

"Southern!?

I try to wake you up.

But Suthern's eyes, they're not looking at me.

I was just letting my body tremble in small pieces when I saw only the pillars of light rushing through heaven.

"Such magic, impossible.

This is, like... "

Beyond that, it's speechless.

While I support Southern's body, I will once again dazzle the pillars of light.

That light now fits in a little bit and fades away over a long period of time.

"Over, you...?

A small voice of Maki marked the end of the phenomenon.

But our upset didn't subside when the light subsided.

Me too, no, I was probably the most upset.

I don't know what happened.

Because

"- You know, such an event, I don't know..."

I've never seen that pillar of light in a game.

Perhaps for the first time in this world, I have encountered an entirely unknown phenomenon.

If it's such an impressive sight, someone should be raising one of the videos.

No, you don't have to go that far, there must always be sightings out there.

That means I don't know...

(Does this really mean it doesn't happen in games?

And if you're saying that something that didn't happen in the game happened, the cause is limited.

(No way......)

Doc, Doc, and my heart hurts so much.

Calm down, tell yourself.

But no matter how, I can't contain the beating that rages.

(No way, no way...)

That's not true, I want to believe.

But the ominous imagination that came to my mind won't let me go.

(Lies, right...)

It's not in the game, it's just in this world...

The owner of the power that made him blow away the dark clouds of the sky that only the Demon King should be able to interfere with.

There is only one such perception of existence, no matter what you think.

(No way, really...)

This is the light of the Evil God.

"Ah!!

But then, as I cut off my thoughts, Maki suddenly shouted out loud.

I asked Maki, who had a stunned look at what he noticed, with a biting momentum.

"Maki, you know something?!

Maki, who was pressed, waved his hands in front of his face in the breeze of all things,

"Oh, no, I know, it's not like that.

... However, Soma talked to me about "Seriously - Dodo" and "Death, Fuckin '" before this, right?

So, hey, I figured... "

I pointed out this when I pointed to Odood as if I had done something wrong and to the Castle of the Demon King, behind the red water, which still looks blurry.

"- Maybe you drowned earlier, Demon King?

…………

…………

…………

…………

..................... Huh?

- So the demon king was defeated, and the world was saved.
