--That's it.
I understand after hearing Rin's muttering.
That berserker state was a second transformation huh.... I've made a huge mistake.
Purple light is flickering in the demon lord's mouth.
"Loreiya, block it!"
I shot toward the demon lord's mouth at the same time I gave the order. I couldn't even afford to shout out the technique's name.
"O Divine Talisman! 『Protection』!"
The Talisman that Loreiya holds high up produces blue light that protects my companions.
We shouldn't abuse it considering the compensation, but any other method would not make it in time.
The defensive wall created by the Talisman and the dark purple breath are scattering intense sparks and light on the surrounding.
The shocking thunderous sound is really making my stomach queasy.
My ears have been buzzing for a while, I can't hear well.
--ZHWWWUUUUUUUWN.
After he had done emitting the breath, the demon lord roared at the ceiling.
Responding to that, oozing shadows beside the demon lord are--.
『Arrived as ordered. Brown Third, obtruding here.』
『The same, Brown First, obtruding.』
Two greater demons gushed out of the space.
Both of them are level 60.
Greater demons that we had never encountered so far, appearing at such timing....
"Hmph, greater demons are no match for me no matter how many they are!"
Even while feeling the absurdity, I rouse up my fighting spirit by feeding on that indignation.
However, the bad news continue--.
"Hero-sama, there's a big crowd of monsters behind."
"Please look above! So many slimes they're touching the ceiling!"
The black knights reported.
"Hayato, leave the greater demons to us."
"Yea, that's right. Having no moment to show up feels lonely."
Rusus and Fifi glare at the greater demons with their beloved swords in their hands.
"Wi and I will support Rusus and Fifi. Seina, please help the black knights to deal with the small fries and the slimes, Rin and Loreiya, fight the demon lord with Hayato!"
Mary gave orders to our companions without hesitation.
I feel we're at a bit of disadvantage, but we should be able to manage somehow.
In short, we can turn things around if the great me just defeat the demon lord.
"Hayato! Dodge!"
Crisis Perception skill reacted at the same time as Rin's warning.
I evaded the black sword right before it touched me, but I still got a shallow wound.
"Fumu, good reaction. Brown Zero, pleased to make you an acquaintance."
A brown greater demon whose upper body appeared from the shadow sinks back into it.
My counterattack didn't reach it, as the shadow I hit was merely a shadow.
"You shouldn't look away, Hero. Brown Seventh obtruding."
"Hoohoo, where are you looking at Hero. Brown Sixth obtruding--"
I couldn't even crack jokes while fighting against the despair of the appearing greater demons.
Compared to the school of the Great Monstrous Fish Tovkezeera the yellow demon summoned back then, there's still a hope to turn this situation around.
--ZHWWWUUUUUUUWN.
The demon lord's roar echoed, its wings increased to six with the third transformation.
The halo on his back makes him look like a transcendental being here.
--However, that's merely a look.
He's still way off from being transcendent.
Ya can't be one if you're not at least as senseless as Nanashi.
"GUOAAAAAAAA"
"T-The monsters spurted out!"
While hearing the black knights' and Seina's screamd behind, my mind has made up to defeat the demon lord even if we both end up dying.
It's sad that I won't be able to meet my little sister and my childhood friend in the former world anymore, but My Honey who's in the same labyrinth will be in danger if I don't defeat him here.
"《SING》 Arondight, 《PLAY》 Tunas"
I recited the Scriptures of the Holy Sword and the Holy Armor that had lost its effect once again, activated my trump card, the [Limitless Recovery], and drank the [Acceleration] magic potion last resort.
--Let's do this, demon lord.
I'll put some intense get-well gifts in your face.
Hero's life ain't that cheap y'know!
