Monster no Goshujin-sama

9. Legion Appeared

Nine.

The existence of the 'Door of the Other World', which Salvia told us about.

Naturally, I noticed that too.

Until now, distant beings who only vaguely knew the direction were finally close enough to grasp the distance.

"Drop me altitude!

Shouting for instructions out loud, the dragon responded.

Drop altitude and start swirling.

The subsequent dragons also obeyed.

The distance and not being able to see how things were going, but by now, the faces of the expedition, who were getting tired of empty journeys that they had nothing to do, would be tinted to see if they had finally been found.

I rode myself out of the back of the dragon in large measure, supported by Lily.

The nearer terrestrial scenery is full of woods.

But it does' have '.

It feels that way.

So I opened my mouth.

"Magic 'Misty Vault'"

Expand the only magic allowed to you.

If the words Gert left behind are correct, this is the only 'compass' to find the 'door of the other world', with the exception of the 'cornerstone of the world', and the 'key' to rip open.

An explosively spreading fog pulls its tail like an airplane cloud.

The fog spread thinly to allow for peripheral recognition.

After all, there was something hooked up in the sensory net.

"That one!

Throw your gaze at the corner of the forest under your eyes.

Of course, I can't see it from here, but I could grasp it.

A door pulled out of every frame.

Robbed by the Shrine Superintendent, The Door of the Other World was abandoned in a corner of the forest.

I was also thinking about the possibility that there was about one lookout left, but apparently that doesn't seem to be the case.

I guess he decided he didn't need anything more than to have traveled deep in the woods using an untraceable airway.

That's not by any means a circumspect decision, but rather enough to open up to the caution of the Shrine Superintendent, who fled so far away before knocking at the door.

But the prospect went crazy.

The obsession of the dead high priest and the hostility of the dragon that destroyed the inside paid off.

Most importantly, the door doesn't make sense just because you found it.

"... from here on out, it's our job"

Even though it was somewhat forceful, I needed to stick the key in and open it.

That's all we can do.

"Salvia!"

"Yes. Let's do it, sir!

Salvia responds to the call, and she hugs me from her womb.

overlapping senses, each other elevating each other,

A haptic fog touches the door.

Behind it, stretch your sensory fingertips.

"All right!"

- There was a feeling that 'Misty Temporary Inn' touched the other realm behind the door.

There was a little anxiety up to this earthen field, but I was able to interfere well.

At the same time, I felt resistance.

At the fingertips of the tactile feeling forced through the door, there was something like a wall that refused to penetrate.

No surprise.

Because Harrison had told me beforehand.

Apparently, it's like a defensive mechanism prepared for the other world itself.

Even if we had the "cornerstone of the world," we wouldn't be able to open it unless we followed proper procedures.

It's easy to understand if you think of a system that puts in a PIN after you turn the key.

Not to mention, I don't even have a proper key.

Resistance is what I was expecting.

"... Huh?

- What was unexpected was that, thoughtlessly, the sensory hand broke through the barrier.

The whimsy resembled the feeling of punching Styrofoam.

That said, it doesn't mean the resistance was weak.

There must have been close resistance to Harrison's offensive in the other world.

It was this one that was changing.

"... surprised, sir's interference, not out of step"

It can also be said that it is natural that Salvia raised her voice.

I couldn't hide the confusion myself.

"Why...?

I'm pretty sure there's increased interference, but I didn't realize what was causing it.

As before.

Has anything changed?

But it was only two days ago that I touched the other world.

In this short time, I don't pretend to think of it.

At best, is it about connecting Kato to the pass?

For the first time then, I demonstrated my abilities as they should have been.

It was definitely a big step forward and a change.

Nevertheless, on the other hand, it is difficult to believe that it dramatically improved the interfering power of the 'Misty Vault'.

Because my ability to connect minds is my power, but my interference in the other world is the power of the 'Misty Inn' and something else altogether.

Or maybe for another reason......

"... no. It's in front of me now."

Unfortunately, I didn't have much time to think about it.

Sometimes we had to chase him to the shrine temple quickly, because there was a more direct threat.

"Takahiro! Coming!

The first person to spot the anomaly was Silan.

On one side, he probably used the ability of the Spirit to sense more than my "Misty Inn".

Changes were happening in the corner of the woods.

A translucent black sphere swelled up so that it could be buried in the woods.

The size went far beyond the trees and quickly became about Oyama.

It was where I was sensing the presence of the door.

Of course, it can't be some kind of coincidence or something.

"That's the 'Door of the Other World'......!

Originally, if the "cornerstone of the world" is used to open the "door of the other world" in the correct procedure, the door disappears and a black wall leading to the other world appears on the other side of it.

But this time we broke in with irregular procedures.

In the past, when the elves measured contact with the 'cornerstone of the world', a similar phenomenon was confirmed, but the story was that the partial breakdown of control due to forceful breakthroughs would create such a sight.

Most importantly, it doesn't change its nature if it looks different.

If you jump into that sphere, you can enter the other world.

If it was that huge, it would not be impossible to stick it in the back of the dragon like this, but it had been decided beforehand to get down and head.

Because it was predicted to be dangerous.

"You're here..."

I snapped low at the sight as I had heard.

From the surface of the spreading black sphere, there was something created by the spill.

"'Guardian Giant'......!

It was an inorganic giant with a glowing body.

Just like the monsters of the other kingdom to which I was thrown, they are born out of the other kingdom.

There will be more than three metres from the comparison with the surrounding trees. There is no head where human beings are, but an eye-like pattern engraved in the center of the body.

The overall appearance somehow led to the spirits serving the elves.

Most importantly, there is no affection like that found in the Spirit, and the impression is very sword swallowing with Wujing itself.

That should be it, too.

It is the defensive mechanism prepared by the first brave men to eliminate those who seek to open up the otherworlds following the resting place of the 'cornerstone of the world' that sustains the world, other than by regular means, that is the 'guardian giant'.

I looked a little different from what Harrison had told me, but I wouldn't be wrong to think of it as the same first thing.

Nearly half of the elite hundreds or so of direct brave men and the elves beneath them died in battle with the 'Guardian Titans' when they broke into the other world.

The appearance of the present 'guardian giant' close to that of the Spirit may have been influenced by the fact that it was the Elves who finally rewrote their worldview in 'The Foundations of the World'.

The "guardian giant" had been created from the black sphere.

If we don't break through that, we can't step into the other world.

Therefore, the actors take turns. I have someone to ask from here on out.

"Thank you, keep the rest away"

I thanked the dragon who went down to the ground, folding the trees, and I went down from my back with everyone.

Then one member of the expedition descends around.

"Gather 'em all!

I heard Mr. Nakatsuki making a decree.

Like the members of the expedition, I hurried to Nakatsuki with my family.

Come on, the distance was close, so the rendezvous was ready.

"Oh, you're here. Good luck."

"Yes, please come from here"

I wave back to Nakatsumi, who calls out with a smile, waiting for everyone to align themselves.

The trees were out of the way, but the guardian giants who noticed us seemed to be coming this way.

Once a 'guardian giant' who took the lives of the elves, it's not hard to deal with if each and every one of them is hit with an expedition with the power of the brave retaining control.

Until now it was as planned...... and that was when I thought.

Things have changed.

"... what?

All of a sudden, I heard a lot of dragons roaring.

It was the voice of the dragons in the dragon abyss who brought us here.

I told them to stay away from me immediately, so their voices echoed from afar, following the instructions.

It was a shout full of amazement and sadness, as if I had found something.

Unexpectedly, we looked over our heads, and found it in the far sky.

"... lying"

It was Robbia who stumbled and crushed.

Flying through the sky was a giant dragon that was not even fifty meters long.

More precisely, it was the wreckage.

The sturdy crust covers the entire body even though it is crushed, and the meat underneath it rots out, in some places even the bones are visible.

I am able to fly through the sky in such a state, because it is not warm life that has already thrust and moved itself, but rather resentment.

You can't even look at that beauty wrong.

Crustacean dragon Malvina, who was the head in the dragon abyss - was its unusual appearance.

The corpse dragon and I were almost trying to break into the other world from the opposite side.

She's not the only one.

If you look closely, there was a large group of monsters on its vast back that could only be called armies.

"No way, King......!?

I heard Berta raise a stunned voice.

There was too much distance to spot the skinny boy, but there was no question that that was a bunch of monsters under Kudo's control.

How could I be here... and I just thought about it, and I was relieved.

Because one day I remembered the hope I had been told.

- I can't believe the world has such eyes on me. That's what I hoped.

That's what Kudo said.

Is this situation not exactly an excellent opportunity to fulfil that wish?

As of yesterday, the truth of the world was passed on to Kudo via Berta.

At that point, it wasn't much of a problem.

But Superintendent Jingu's behavior changed the situation.

The storage site of the 'cornerstone of the world' that sustains the world has been revealed, and the 'door of the other world' has been robbed, creating a path to destroy the world.

Isn't that why Kudo moved out?

To fulfill my greatest purpose.

And it was precisely with the opening of the door of the other world that the invasion began.

Shortly afterwards, a grudging growl struck his ear, freezing his spine.

The dragon's skeleton barked at the back of the demon king's army.

resentment and hatred, the sound of a corpse dragon that went mad with anger.

There was something that came through without words.

- I won't allow it. I will not forgive you. I will never forgive you.

- Redeem my son's death.

- Think of my grudges.

The hatred of my mother, who was murdered her own children, is wildly desperate for the death of a boy with two names: The Dragon Man.

Turning his passion into momentum, the corpse dragon burst into the 'door of the other world'.

At the next moment, however, countless heat rays were irradiated from the black surface of The Door of the Other World.

A "guardian giant" emerged from the surface of a black sphere, radiating a hot line from an eye-like text engraved in the center of his body, intercepted a corpse dragon that penetrated.

This is why we couldn't get into the dragon in the dragon abyss.

Each hotline is also comparable in power to the magic of the third staircase.

If you let the dragons who brought us in go straight in, there would have been a lot of damage.

However, the situation had changed slightly since shortly after the advent of "The Door of the Other World".

Already the doors of the other world have sent out a considerable number of 'guardian giants' for our interception.

As a result, the radiation was somewhat less for the corpse dragon, which appeared in time difference.

In addition, the Malvina giant and the defense of its crust covering itself were still overwhelming.

She was already dead without even pain, and the assault was dared without the hesitation of the shards.

"We're going in...!

Shortly after someone screamed, the giant crashed into the door of the other world.

Quite a few 'guardian giants' can be seen crushed by their weight and impact.

As it was, the giant of the corpse dragon disappeared inside the black sphere of the door of the other world.

……

I was speechless.

The corpse dragon entered the other world.

along with the large number of monsters on its back.

The demon king's army broke into the other world.

"... you're way ahead of me"

When I heard the twinkle, I returned it to me.

Nakatsumi's appearance with an invincible grin was there.

"I don't know what you're going to do, but is' King of the Demon Army 'working? You can't lose this."

Though it seemed regrettable, there was nothing dark about the words.

Instead, he even looked daunted.

"There's one more person to stop! Everybody, get in the mood!

Break it if it's difficult.

Irrationality yields.

If you're about to lose, override it.

Weaponize your indomitable will and unwavering power, move forward.

I see, this is Kojiro Nakatsuki.

The man who leads the expedition?

The proud man's voice had such an attraction that even the same man could be attracted.

The face of the expedition, distracted by the abrupt circumstances, regained its brilliance in its expression.

On the other hand, I was moving on another axis myself.

Kojiro Nakashima is the head of the expedition and not the leader for Takahiro Mashima.

I was the Lord who led us all, and there was something to be done.

"Robbie! We're going after him!

I grabbed both shoulders of Robbie, who was stunned, and peered into his face.

"Takahiro..."

"You knew Malvina was becoming an undead monster. I'm surprised you were under Kudo's command, but it doesn't change what you do. I have to let him sleep quietly. Didn't I?"

I would have been surprised because I ran into him at an unexpected time.

Imagine how shocked it was to see him unbroken, even wanting to do it with his little body in his arms.

But I know the strength of Robbia.

Even at a young age, she has the strength of heart to fight to protect what matters.

And she loved her mother, even if she was dead and broken up with her relationship.

I couldn't have stayed stunned here.

I let go of my hand from my shoulder, confirming that a flame of strong will burned in the eyes of the girl who remembered what she was to do.

"The end of Kudo will be the same as ours. We're going after him."

"... oh. Absolutely, I'll chase you."

Then I nodded at each other, and I turned my gaze around.

Because there was another one who had to speak up.

"Takahiro Mashima..."

I felt sorry for him so much that I lowered my tail and there was Berta looking at this one.

"Don't worry if you think I'm sorry. That's not what you did."

"But..."

"You said that earlier. He wants Kudo to choose his own way. Then you won't have time to hang around here."

For better or worse, what moves Berta is the presence of Kudo.

Her honest personality still seemed to have something to patronize, but at the end of the day she nodded.

"Thanks, and I'm sorry"

The second half was geared towards Robbia, but she let her nose ring when she let her wings flap her clams just so she wouldn't mind.

This one will be fine now.

When I turned my gaze, Nakatsuki-san smiled.

"Looks like you're okay now."

"Yes. Thank you for waiting. Let's go."

"Okay. I'll take care of the safety on the road. Until we enter the other world first, I will lead with Mashima on the street, and let the rest protect the sides and the rear. Kazu and the others can ask for backwards assistance."

"Okay."

Kazu responded.

The Imperial Group, including him, is another group with the Expedition.

This operation is a joint operation between the Expedition, the Imperial Group, which belongs to the Cathedral Church, and our three groups.

It was important for each of us to do his part to prevent a crisis in the world.

"Let's go!

When Nakatsuki-san barked, the expedition members ran out with the peculiar squeamish physical ability to hold cheats.

I know you're holding back with a view to a long war, but it's close to my all-powerful disease.

Running at such a speed would leave me breathless.

Though it is so close that it is not comparable to the immediate aftermath of this transfer to another world, it is still no match for the expedition in my personal pure combat abilities.

Whatever, that's fine.

My job here is not to fight.

I was riding Berta's back.

Robbie and I stopped being together.

For the convenience of maneuvering with the expedition, Berta has not revealed his true nature, and his combat ability falls slightly below his full strength, but the concept was to subsidize it with Robbia and refrain.

In addition, Lily and Shiran of fighting power over one or two even family members consolidate their sides.

It was a formation that wouldn't be so easy to get hit by a few Explorer classes.

We approached the door of the other world through the woods with the expedition and the imperial group.

But dozens of 'guardian giants' blocked that path.

It's not a regular monster.

What the hell, Rare Monster... it also has superior combat capabilities.

What's more threatening is that they're launching an earlier hotline attack in a group.

We can do melee fights, and if it's a brawl, I wonder if we can use a hotline that we can argue with each other, rather a brawl is dangerous because we can't get through the damage to the hotline with each other.

Having such information from the Cathedral Church was a strength of the joint operation, but with all that, it is difficult to deal with it properly.

If you fight from the front, even if you have Expedition cheats, you'll eat your foothold.

But I can't hold my legs.

I didn't need that.

"Oh and Mashima did the job for me. I don't really have to do my job either."

Running Nakatsu-san laughed furiously and shook up one arm.

From its palms, magic erupted to tremendous.

The magic instantly turned into a sword of light.

Nakatsuki-san declared in a confident voice.

"It's a 'one-handed sword'. Blow it up."

Kojiro Nakatsuki's "Sword of Light" is literally the ability to produce swords of light attributes.

However, its power changes proportionally to the amount of time it was accumulating magic on the sword.

'Little Sword' if used without accumulation.

'One-handed sword' if you hoard for a day.

"The Great Sword" when you accumulate ten days.

Naturally, the power increases in the order of "Little Sword," "One-Handed Sword," and "Great Sword."

Its power is phenomenal just to shake, but its maximum power lies in the 'maximum liberation', which is shaken by unleashing its energy.

"Kaaaaaaaaaa!

The 'one-handed sword' waved with the temper loosened up and turned into a running stream of light that burned my eyes.

This is exactly the blow of the brave.

When the light went out, the shattered piles of debris and the wooded trees that were swept down into pieces of wood had made their way to the 'door of the other world'.

"... with that number in one blow"

Although I had heard it beforehand, the impact of the sight in front of me was enormous.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Nakatsuka has turned to a pleasant laugh.

"I consumed one bottle."

Light swords are not available for unlimited use.

Even when I use it normally, it wears off a little bit, and in "Maximum Liberation," I consume it in one shot.

Nevertheless, the story explained that 'Sword of Light' is possible to stock.

Up to thirty for a 'one-handed sword' and up to five for a 'great sword' can be stocked.

That means that attack can fire thirty shots.

In the meantime, even though they are small in number, they also refrain from more powerful attacks.

... I don't usually think so because it's already a split, but I envy it just a little bit.

Because with all this power, we'll be able to absolutely protect the Lillies.

I shook that thought away for a moment, and I looked at the approaching black sphere.

We should focus on what needs to be done now.

Together with the expedition and the Imperial Clan, we entered the other realm.
