Volume 2 Chapter 8-2 The Dismissed Aide and the Foolish Four Heavenly Kings 4
'Well then, is that ALRIGHT...?'
A subordinate demon nervously asks.
"If it's going to be taken by the Hero, it's better to take care of it here!"
'Hah! If you can do it, give it a shot!'
S-Rank monsters leap at the Evil Dragon.
'Hey, wait!'
Vivre casually swipes her hand to the side.
With just that...the monsters vanished.
Buildings crumble and explode, the ground itself tearing apart.
"What unbelievable strength...Damn! It's magic! You monsters, kill it with magic!"
The demons unleash high-level magic.
Fire, ice, lightning...countless spells bombard the Evil Dragon.
'Pfft...'
What was unleashed was a gale.
All the magic was obliterated.
Worse yet, the demons were blown away outside the Royal Capital.
"W, what...what powerful wind magic is that!"
'Magic? Don't tell me. This is just my sigh.'
"A sigh...to...dispel the powerful magic of the demons...I can't believe it..."
Even S-Rank monsters and demons aren't weak.
But the Evil Dragon before them is on a whole different level of strength.
"Don't think you've won! Outside the town, there are more demons, and even stronger ones than these guys!"
'Ambush? Well, that's your problem too, I guess.'
"What did you say!?"
That was when it happened.
'Lady Tzuqaine! Ambush! Our army is being surrounded!'
It was a message from the deputy, who had stayed outside the town.
The magician immediately went to check the situation outside the town...and was aghast.
'Behold everyone! The most valiant spearman of the Hero Party, Sir Ulgar, performing his magnificent spear skills!'
A man with silver hair runs like a whirlwind.
With each strike, the demons disappear in a flash.
'The path created by this silver hair is truly a meteor! The incarnation of the sacred power that wards off evil! Fuhaha!'
"W-what!? The Hero Party!? They weren't absent...!?"
Ulgar was single-handedly cutting through the five thousand troops stationed outside with astonishing ease.
They weren't just any five thousand; these were the elite forces assembled for this battle.
And yet, one man was dominating them all.
What an unreal sight it was.
'Taste my ultimate technique, the [Mighty Spear]!'
SWOOSH!
The shockwave felt as if a star had exploded.
The next moment, Tzuqaine saw a terrifying scene unfold.
Not a single blade of grass remained in the desolate landscape.
"I-I can't believe it... Five thousand? The elites... have all vanished in an instant...?"
The elites had been deployed surrounding the Royal Capital.
But Ulgar had wiped them all out, every last one of the monsters around the Royal Capital.
What strength, what skill.
"So this is... the Hero..."
'Heh, as frustrating as it is, you're not wrong there, buddy!'
"!? You──you hijacked the communication!?"
Ulgar frowned, clearly displeased.
'It really gets under my skin playing the sidekick every time, but hey, I'll let you have this one.'
"What──what are you talking about!?"
That was when it happened.
'Tzuqaine! Hey, Tzuqaine! Respond!'
Suddenly, a communication came through.
"Sir I-Iliga! What's going on, Sir Iliga!?"
Tzuqaine could sense something was terribly wrong from Iliga's voice.
'Get the army back, quickly! If you don't, the north wall is... GWAHHHHH!'
With a deafening roar, the communication cut out.
"What's happening, what's going on!?"
At that moment.
CRACK! Something shattered.
And then, suddenly... the Royal Capital disappeared.
"Huh? The Royal Capital... Where even am I...?"
Just moments ago, the Royal Capital had been a blood-soaked town; now it had vanished without a trace.
There were no ruined streets, no heaps of fallen bodies.
Tzuqaine and the remaining five thousand troops were left standing in the middle of an empty plain.
'You still don't realize it?'
Whoosh!..
She looks up at the sky.
The Evil Dragon takes flight, and on its back, a delicate magician, resembling a young girl, is riding.
'Everything's going according to plan. Boss Eli, illusion-glorious!'
"Illusion...you're saying it was all an illusion!? The town...the people...all of them were just illusions!?"
It was unbelievable, but that magician had created the entire town and its people with magic.
"What...is this...these monsters..."
Ignoring the stunned Tzuqaine, Eli activates his magic.
"[Nova Strike!] [Gale Slicer!] [Celsius Coffin!] [Divine Saber!]"
Four gigantic magic circles spread out in the distant sky.
"What...no...this is...impossible...this must be a bad dream..."
Even demons would find it difficult to cast a Great Magic.
For a young magician to simultaneously cast multiple Great Magics was simply unheard of.
"We...were wrong...challenging them...was foolish..."
It was too late to regret it now.
The four Great Magics instantly obliterated the remaining demonic forces.
...And so, the ten thousand strong army that rose from the North Wall was completely wiped out by the Lawrence Hero Party in mere moments.
But, this wasn't the end.
That's right, the Golden Hero isn't here.
So, where is he?
"I'm, right here, you know!"
The super Hero (Lawrence), clad in golden battle aura, stands proudly atop the half-ruined North Fortress, his voice booming.
