- It worked.

Looking at the face of the man staring at himself with astonishment, Ten Incense was sure of it.

(I was impatient when it pierced my heart......)

I thought I was really dead then.

No, I was actually taking enough damage to die for.

After all, HP went to zero in an instant.

Yet the ten incense are still alive. Why is that?

The reason for this is that the Wolf King and Sakya made a 'covenant'.

The skill "Monster Contract" in the profession "Monster Rider" not only strengthens the contracted monsters, but also enables them to communicate with each other.

I could use some of my contracted monster skills.

Of course, you can't use skills beyond your ability, and there is a corresponding risk.

Among the skills that Schwartz had, "shoulder replacement" was the one that Schwartz used.

A skill that allows you to literally replace any of your allies with the damage you have taken.

This also applies to party members other than yourself.

I used this to replace the damage the Ten Incense had sustained with the Skeletons that I had originally contracted and put into the party.

(Except for me and Katsuki-san, you were right to fill the rest of the party members with the monsters she contracted......)

The damage taken by Ten Incense was literally fatal.

Therefore, the Skeleton that took the damage died instead.

The maximum number of party members is eight.

In other words, she can still live with five fatal injuries.

(This must be the best way to get the most out of it.)

Enemy roadblock.

Slowly, the ten incense crawling out of Schwarz's shadow clung to Glenn's body.

Considering the stats and level differences, it was less than an instant.

That moment is enough.

"The Wolf King! Leave him to me..."

Gahoooooooooooooooo!

Without waiting for the ten incense words, Schwartz slammed Glenn into attack.

The claws that had been made enormous by the darkness slashed through Glenn.

It was a hesitant blow.

(Huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!?)

From the shoulder to the slice, the body is torn apart and the pain runs violently.

The Dark Onslaught seeks to destroy her body and wipe out all her cells.

The HP becomes zero in an instant, the wound regenerates in the next moment, and the HP returns to its original state.

It's a really strange feeling.

I can't afford to care about my clothes.

Schwarz's attack must have wiped out not only his body but also his clothes in an instant.

I was completely naked when I regenerated the ten incense.

However, I can't afford to worry about that.

We need to see the enemy first.

"Oh, come on..."

"Huh!?"

Looking at it, Glenn was a little further away.

The left arm and part of the flank had disappeared.

"Let's do it, lass." What do you mean by "shoulder replacement" for damage? I'm off guard. You can only use high-ranking Undead skills, but it's not strange if you can use Wolf King. "

……

It appears that our defenses alone were able to read our hand completely.

Excellent not only in power but also in observation.

However, the opponent lost his left arm and was filled with creativity.

We can win if Schwarz is pushed out of the way.

Ten Incense was sure of that.

"... you look like you think you can win." It's sweet, isn't it? "

G-...

The next moment, boo! and Glenn's left shoulder gave rise to the [Flame Arm].

A flame also emerges from the flanks, wrapping the whole body.

It was reminiscent of the summoning beast Ifrito, which was used by Liber.

This is his natural form of combat.

"If Wolf King is the [Darkness], then I am the [Flame] itself." I don't want you to lick me. This is all I can do! "

As the [Flame Emperor] 's two names suggest, his power is flame.

That power is truly exerted by his own integration with the flame.

Glenn felt even more intimidated than before.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Glenn shouted.

With that, the flames burned all over the surrounding area, turning it into a scorching hell.

The high temperature was such that it was difficult even to breathe, and for ordinary people, it turned to ashes in an instant.

Dang! and Glenn leapt and waved the great sword in his hand.

"Hey!"

Schwartz shielded himself with darkness, but Glenn's flame slashed through the darkness and damaged Schwarz's body.

Schwarz looked at Glenn with an unbelievable look in his eyes.

Nandato...?

Not yet!

Glenn's onslaught continued.

A slash of energy with a higher power and higher density than Sora's Braces releases hundreds of hits in a matter of seconds.

The darkness of Schwarz is now completely extinguished, and all parts of his flesh are turning into extinguished coal.

Seeing Glenn launching a unilateral attack against the [Wolf King], who was regarded as the most powerful of the six kings, Ten Incense lost his words.

This is the Advance Corps, the leader of the Aliens.

I wondered if he was really the same person.

[Gaha......]

With his blazing sword, Schwartz is pierced from his back and stitched to the ground.

Ten Incense could only watch it silently.

Suddenly, Glenn's eyes turned toward the ten incense.

There was no interest in the Ten Incense in those eyes.

"Now, it's your turn..."

"Ugh..."

"I killed him once, but if I'm going to run now, I'm going to miss it." If you swear you won't interfere with us in the future, Randall's husband won't force you to kill Temae. "

In a sense, it was an offer to him to break the law, and an ultimatum to the ten incense.

If you make a mistake in the answer, the ten incense will be extinguished charcoal at that moment.

The ten incense puffed out his breath, and gave an unmistakable answer.

"... I refuse. I can't just run away while she's fighting."

Yeah, we can't just run away.

In the distance, Kazuto is still fighting.

With the support of Momo and Aka, we're practically alone fighting one of the advance parties.

By contrast, I have a powerful ally called Wolf King Schwartz.

If you run away in this situation, you'll be laughed at.... that excites me, but it's decided that it's much more delicious to win properly and ask for various things in the name of reward.

I see. Then I'll have to kill you.

"Ugh..."

Glenn's flame tried to burn down the ten incense.

Then there was a movement in Schwarz.

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon!

I was forced to stand up with my sword stuck to the ground.

When I drew my sword, I stood next to the ten incense.

There was a smile on his face.

Hun, Ano, human fellow Daqal. I don't have any Illasina...... ”

Shuru, the thin darkness covered the body of the Ten Incense and changed like a black rider suit.

"Um... thank you."

I don't have to worry about my skin anymore, so I thanked Ten Incense.

Moreover, when I wore this black rider suit, my strength grew.

Apparently, it also had the effect of lowering my stats.

That said, it is tightly attached to the skin, so the line of the body is emphasized on the contrary, and it is very great, but it is probably not relevant now.

(Ugh... you haven't finished yet, Sakya-san. Since my [mission] has barely worked, you're the only one I can rely on...)

Even now, Ten Incense activated a certain skill, but it didn't seem to work on Glenn.

It all depends on her modest efforts, as she thought.

Then, the shadows at my feet trembled.

Katsushika revealed herself while sowing the darkness of Schwarz.

"and onee-sama! I'm ready to go."

Thank you, Kataki-san! This is a good time.

The ten incense sticks raise their hands.

Ladies and gentlemen, please!

"" "Woooooooooooo!!!" "

The family members of the Wolf King who were stranded in the distance barked at once.

Then, enormous amounts of energy overflowed from their bodies and were released towards Schwarz.

……

”Uu...... Ko, Koleha......!”

At that moment, Schwartz realized that his power had been multiplied by tens.

What the Ten Incense did was to reverse the supply of energy from their families.

Originally, the power of the vassals, enhanced by the power of the Wolf King, was returned to the Wolf King using the [Monster] skill.

Sakura salutes the ten incense.

It took a while, but the [re-contract] with all of the Wolf King's family was completed!

That was the higher version of "Monster Enhancement" that Katsugi Sakaya used at school against Kazuto.

Super Reinforcement of the contracted monsters - All the power and skills of the family are aggregated into one main Schwarz.

It is the heroic hymn of monsters that is paired with Kazuto's "Heroic Hymn".

Woah... oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!!

Schwartz's wounds heal in an instant and overflow with power.

This was not only a skill that Katsugi had originally.

It is a miracle that Schwartz's bereaved families were able to do because they were so drunk and ready to risk their lives for him.

"Hey, hey, hey, that's impossible, that's not true!"

Understanding the danger instantly, Glenn moved quickly.

Before the supply of power was over, Schwartz's sword was created in an attempt to stop the roots of the flames and drop his head.

But--

What...!?

Tightly, the blade was stopped by the darkness of Schwarz.

It was not comparable to the darkness that had torn apart so easily.

It's incredibly dense.

"Hm......"

Schwartz gently waves his tail to see how he is.

At that moment, the sound, the space, and the world were torn apart.

”Haha-”

Without dodging or defending in time, Glenn was blown to the ground for over a hundred meters.

Cheng Cheng, Much Enhanced Saleta Ioda

Schwartz laughed as he checked his strength.

And he saw the families of the flock.

A word of courtesy. I am a family member of Maleta. "

"" "" "Ugh...!" ""

The vassals tremble with joy at the words.

Compared to Schwarz, the family is far too small.

It was a right and unexpected joy for them to become the power of their own king.

Satsui Kertoshioka, advance party

As their king, Schwartz praised them.
