Only one wish (4)

The allied forces continued to save against the large army of demons.

Not only the quickness to distribute troops in the right place, but also the special attack to assassinate by identifying the location of the command object in real time.

Backed by the power of the rotating body kit and the power of the sympathetic nervous system, the allied forces repulsed the demon beasts in all directions as if to avenge the sorrow of the past.

“Open the formation on the right and cover those who enter!”

「Confirm the gathering of monsters on the front at 11 o’clock!」

Feedback from all over the battlefield was immediately delivered to all hunters.

The appearance of immediately changing formation and coping with the situation was to the point of reminiscent of a single creature.

“You fight better than you think.”

Helena, who had been standing back to assist the Hunters, admired the battle.

She predicted that the win rate for this battle would not be very high, but in this state, it seemed okay to predict victory.

「The Witchbeasts are retreating!」

At that time, a sad message echoed through the sympathetic nervous system.

Scary to hear the news of the demons retreating, the monsters that had filled the front line started running away in the direction of the dimension door.

They were busy running away, not caring even if their colleagues were killed by the hunters chasing them.

“The Demonic Beast Army is retreating!”

At last, cheers broke out with upbringing.

Starting with one voice, cheers continued here and there.

Even though it was only one battle won, it was well worth it to put the first button in an important battle.

“Whew…”

Helena let out a sigh of relief.

She moved on and approached Claire, who was standing idly by.

“Good job. You won the first one.”

“·······.”

“Long Claire?”

By the way, Claire’s condition was a little strange.

At the place where everyone was cheering, Claire was looking at the horizon seriously alone.

As if something went wrong.

With a hard face, she glared at the escaping Witchbeast.

“What’s wrong? The first battle…”

“It’s strange.”

She said as she wiped the blood from her hospital aisle.

“It couldn’t be this easy.”

too easy.

Claire’s focus was on that.

“Isn’t it because we fought well?”

“It’s true that we fought well. But the Demonic Beasts aren’t so easygoing that they’d go back like this.”

Although she recently withdrew from the first line, she is originally the head of Deneb who commands the front line.

In the past, he had traveled through countless battlefields and experienced countless battles with demon beasts.

As such, she knew all too well that the battle against the Witchbeast would not be this easy.

“If the monster level is this high, there is no reason why we had to suffer so much.”

She gripped her sword tightly.

“There’s something. I feel very bad.”

“But it’s different because it’s a demon…”

Just then, a horse ran beside them.

Atop the warhorse, which hastily stopped as if it were an urgent dispatch, was Thereon, covered in blood all over.

“Guys. I’ll have to take a look at this.”

“What is it?”

What Terreon handed over was a small crystal ball.

It is a crystal ball with a function that calculates the wavelength of a dimension, and is used to observe the invasion of monsters.

The dimensional wall seen through the crystal ball was emitting an unusual wave.

“Is it normal for the graph to jump like this?”

“Absolutely not.”

Thereon looked at Claire with a hard face.

“Something’s coming.”

“·······.”

uuu…

At that time, a strange echo began to flow through the dimensional wall where the monster disappeared.

The hunters’ smiling faces hardened, and they began to look beyond the horizon with bewildered faces.

A surprise was approaching.

*

Helios, where the people had escaped, was locked in a dead silence.

Silence without sound or presence.

Fear and tension are evident on the faces of everyone preparing for battle.

If there was weight in the silence that weighed on the shoulders, it was probably the weight of each person’s fear.

“…will the emperor really come this way?”

Central Garden of Helios.

Skadi, who was on guard with me, asked while hugging her tail.

“I don’t doubt what you say. Can you afford to hit this place while controlling such a wide front?”

“The emperor will definitely come.”

“Then why don’t we send a subordinate? Arachne is still alive.”

“No. The emperor will be coming.”

Skadi’s question was valid, but I was more certain than that.

With his personality, there was no way he would leave such a thing in the hands of his subordinates.

It wouldn’t be known if he was in a situation where his body was sealed like before, but if he was able to move himself, he was never the type to borrow someone else’s hand.

As much as I was careful, he will be too.

“So prepare… um.”

And, our heads naturally went up to the sky.

The clear sky was getting darker.

Shadows gather to cast thick shadows, and the gathered clouds swirl and begin to cover the entire sky in an instant.

A weather change that happened in an instant.

It was a phenomenon that occurred when a giant demon approached the dimension.

“It doesn’t look like he’s going to be a nobleman.”

“Ji, are you really here…?”

Skadi jumped up and swallowed her embarrassment.

A huge front that covers the entire Milky Way.

Seeing Helios while commanding it is something no corps commander has ever done.

It was not unreasonable for Skadi to be surprised.

“Get ready. The advance party will come.”

“Ugh… I know!”

Personnel deployed throughout Helios were in charge of their respective positions, but among them, Skadi and I were in the role of confronting the invading enemy head-on.

Excluding the hidden cards Estelle and Cynthia, the only ones capable of a large-scale all-out war here were Skadi and I.

Of course, Kaya was there, but she had to do something else, so she was excluded from the appointment.

In other words, the responsibility we took on in the current situation was heavy.

“let’s go.”

“Cheer up!”

As we stepped forward, the sympathetic nervous system was connected.

Adeline, who was waiting in my office, reacted immediately to the appearance of the Witchbeast.

“The number is quite large. be careful.”

Hearing Adeline’s concerned voice, I made a gesture saying that it was okay.

The number of monsters I felt was high, but it didn’t feel so threatening.

They’re probably the ones I send to take a look.

Skadi and I pulled out our revolvers and ran to the point just below the opening of the dimensional door.

Guwaaa-!!

Demonic beasts begin to fall through the dimensional door opened in the sky.

As they landed with a huge impact and began to show their teeth, screaming reports from all over the sympathetic nervous system followed.

“What are these terrible things!”

“East and north of Rhodes! Check the dimension gates near the border!”

“I’ve never seen a monster that looks like this!”

Along with the reports of the locations of the portals, there was a mix of bewilderment.

That’s also the case because the monster that appeared this time had a different appearance from any monster known so far.

It was bizarre, as if the eyes, nose, and mouth were arbitrarily attached to the skin, and the number of limbs and tails varied widely.

Its appearance was beyond common sense, to the extent that even I had never seen it.

“Ugh… what the hell is that? Is it a beast?”

“It’s a beast.”

I looked at them with narrow eyes.

“To be precise, they are the ‘original’ ones.”

Demonic beasts are originally created as a result of the birth of a constellation at the same time as its counterpart.

It is convenient to think that light and shadow are separated from chaos.

That’s why the shape of the Witchbeast is usually fixed, but those are different.

before the chaos parted.

They are the original demonic beasts that retain their full power.

“I’ve seen it once before.”

Baltazar…When I entered the inner world of the old Kaya, the monster created by the singularity was like that.

If it was the one who supervised the birth of the constellation, it would have been possible to summon the Demonic Beast in the same form as the original chaos, even without making a constellation.

‘Is this the result of helping the emperor?’

Common sense would make you think so.

However, I felt something uneasy there.

It was because the emperor was by no means a great man who would listen to someone so obediently.

‘…there is something.’

Perhaps he gained the power of the Singularity in some way, or he might have swallowed him entirely.

It was an absurd story, but somehow I thought it was.

Because if it were me, I would have done that too.

“Let’s deal with them first.”

“I know.”

Skadi raised her magic power and flew into the sky.

At the same time, I deployed mind control, captured the location of the Demonic Beasts spread throughout Helios, and transmitted it to the brains of everyone including Skadi.

「Positioning complete!」

Skadi let go of the staff and spread her arms wide.

Following the runes she carved, the light of intense magical power began to shine in all directions from the staff that floated in front of me.

The light creates wind, which soon becomes a magical storm.

Skadi, who had condensed truly formidable mana, opened her eyes and chanted.

“「Thunderstorm!」”

9 circle magic lightning.

A gigantic storm of lightning that could devour a dimension if desired cast its shadow over Helios.

Kururureung──

Beyond the sky of the gate where demonic beasts pour in at once.

Thunderbolts shining in the black sky eventually rained down on countless demon beasts.

Quaang! Kwaaang! Kwaaang!!

It was literally a thunderstorm itself.

The mighty magic of the 9th Circle Arc Wizard, a spectacle that tramples the enemy with determination.

Moreover, thanks to my mental control and sympathetic nerves, all of those lightning strikes the Witchbeast without missing a beat.

「Destroy the demons!」

“Combat professors, attack immediately!”

Consciousness crosses and people move.

While they took out their weapons and magic to hunt the monsters, I also took up my revolver and aimed at them.

‘One number is too many.’

Even though Skadi’s wide-area machine was sweeping all over the place, there were monsters running through it.

The number of demons pouring through that hole must be in the thousands or tens of thousands.

I pulled the trigger at them without hesitation.

bang!

The bullets fired pierced the heads of the guys in succession.

At the same time, he interfered with their free will through the second stage of mind control, ‘disruption’.

They were binding each other with a crude sympathetic nervous system of unknown origin, and my disturbance disrupted their consciousness, so they had no problem giving orders.

one foot.

two feet.

When one chamber is emptied, the speed loader on the waist quickly finishes reloading.

A smooth shot without even a delay between reloads exploded the beast’s head, and ‘disruption’ manipulated the surviving ones and induced them to attack their side.

「The monster level itself is not high!」

“Beware of some strong individuals!”

The situation of the other professors wasn’t bad either.

It was difficult because there were some intermediate or upper-middle class objects, but that was something that Skadi and I could solve.

Bullets and lightning swept all over the place, killing the monsters.

“·······.”

attack again attack.

Seeing the pouring demon beasts dying so frighteningly that they stepped on the ground, it was to the point of misunderstanding that they had come to commit suicide.

‘…that’s strange.’

I can’t do this.

There was no way the emperor would consume such meaningless troops.

It must be his efficiency to not miss the use of even a small force…

“Why are you doing this?”

Helios is the last bastion of mankind.

Since it is a place that must be destroyed, in reality, it should have brought a more elaborate and stronger army than this.

“·······.”

While I was lost in thought, Skadi, who had gone up to the sky, came down next to me.

“Is it true that the emperor is coming? Has the number of monsters already decreased?”

“·······.”

Is it over already?

“…something is strange.”

It wasn’t an attack or anything.

Not kidding, this was just dumping troops on the roadside, just inducing a dog’s death.

Didn’t the emperor swallow the singularity, maybe it was the other way around?

“What? It’ll be worth doing this much. Everyone is like that, right?”

“No problem.”

“With this, you won’t even be hungry after a meal.”

“Roshua Fool”

“Rhodes is completely fine~”

“Who just insulted me? I know it’s you, Professor Lafless.”

The sympathetic nervous system was too weak even without tension.

It was only natural that the first battle went smoothly.

I didn’t understand…

“Even though the emperor is strong, it seems that it was difficult to pay attention to this all at once.”

“… He couldn’t be that lax…”

To dismiss it as a misunderstanding, something didn’t feel right.

And having been on the battlefield for a long time, the warnings given by this feeling usually boil down to one conclusion.

‘There is something I don’t know.’

What is it?

The moment when I was rolling my head and thinking.

There was one thought that crossed my mind.

“Professor Skadi.”

“yes?”

“Try contacting the front line now.”

“Why the wires?”

“Quickly.”

When I urged her, she tilted her head and took the device out of her pocket.

It was a high-end communicator capable of interdimensional communication.

She pressed the number and asked me.

“What’s wrong? I called you a few hours ago and said it was nothing.”

“… please, please.”

Skadi didn’t say anything more.

“Huh? Why is this like this?”

By the way, the communicator she connected continued to have a waiting sound, but no one was receiving it.

It might be busy because it’s in battle, but no matter how busy the battlefield is, there will always be a communications soldier who can be contacted.

Skadi constantly tilted her head and contacted other battlefields.

Turururu-

“Why are you doing this?”

It was only then that Skadigo felt something unusual, and her expression began to harden.

While we were doing this, the people who had spread around began to gather here one by one.

“Professors, thank you for your hard work~”

“What are the two of you doing together over there?”

Led by Roshua and Laflis, several professors have already visited this place.

It must have seemed like they thought they had time to rest since a wave had just gone.

But I raised my hand to stop them from approaching.

Then shh-

Skadi pointed to the communication that connects.

“Can’t do it here either…”

“Is everything okay?”

“Yes. It’s strange… There’s no way this could happen.”

The time we dealt with the Witchbeast was only tens of minutes.

Including the waiting time, it was hard to imagine what had happened since Skadi had only been in contact with the front a few hours before.

If you suffered a devastating blow on the front line, it would be normal if there was news of anything, whether by radio or not.

Perhaps seeing our serious expressions, the rest of the people were watching us silently with their mouths closed.

Touuu——

And then.

There was only one battlefield that received communications.

“Enough! Hey there!”

Skadi exclaimed in delight.

However, despite her calling, there was no response from the other side.

“Hey? Hello~?”

“·······.”

Jijik- Support Jijik-

All I hear is noise.

Is the device really broken?

As soon as I swallowed that question, the noise that had lasted for a long time began to diminish.

The crackling sound subsides, and sound takes its place.

─Chijiji ᅠㅣa···gugu··· crackling···.

And.

It soon became a ‘voice’.

─Jijikjijikjijikjijikjikjikjijik aaa!!!

─Queueek!! Kyaaa!!

─Run away! Aww don’t come!!

─Kiyiyiik!! Kiki profit!!

─Deep—Deep—Deep—

─Support…! Ask for support! This is the dimension…

screams and groans.

A grotesque cry and an eardrum-shattering explosion.

The creepy sound that cuts through the five senses continues endlessly.

The sound of breathing stops, and shock begins to appear on everyone’s faces.

uuu—-

Then, the dimensional door opens.

The other side of the sky vibrates and demonic energy begins to overflow.

It was only then that I looked up at the sky and felt it.

The emperor did not do anything meaningless.

The attack just before was nothing more than a smoke screen to distract the frontlines for a moment.

Something was creating hell beyond the Milky Way.

“…Everyone, prepare for battle.”

I looked up at the sky and said that.

The emperor was coming.
