He grit his teeth, and he murmured to himself.
“Why are those two people here…?”

Both sides had noticed the existence of the two objects. They were both enquiring as to what their purpose was. The objects floated to the very center of the bridge and stopped.
Both of the objects were, as the 『Evila』 side surmised, people. The first had beautiful golden hair and was lighly clad in red armor. It was Eveam. The second had blood-red hair and was wearing pitch black armor. It was Aquinus. Both of them had sprouted large wings from their backs.
Both of them turned their eyes to the battle below, between the zombie monsters and Marione’s subordinate, Chugay. Chugay noticed their presence and was dumbfound that the existence he was fighting to defend boldly wandered onto the battlefield.
“Fall back, Chugay!”
Eveam said as such, but Chugay had no idea what was going on. His mind could not keep up with the sudden development. He never heard that anything of the sort was set to happen, and even though she was accompanied by 《Rank 1》 Aquinus, for the Demon Lord to nonchalantly come out was just reckless.
“If you don’t want to get involved in this, step back.”
In an indifferent voice, Aquinus spoke, but to Chugay, Aquinus wasn’t his master. He didn’t take orders from him. For him, Marione was the one deserving of being 《Rank 1》.
So he honestly did his part by defying Aquinus’s orders. But seeing his immobility, Eveam angrily shouted at him.
“Just move it already! The Demon King is ordering you here!”
“Y-yes!”
Even he couldn’t defy the Demon King’s words. If he did, then the responsibility of his actions would fall to Marione. But still, this place was left to him, so he was a bit dissatisfied with leaving without an explanation.
“I’ll leave explanations to later. Just get out of here quickly! Also relay my command, let no one else get close to here!”
He understood not the intent of Eveam’s words, but an erratic situation was playing out before him. He determined that he would have to report it to Marione, so he sprouted wings from his back and departed.
“Are you ready, Aquinus?”
“Yeah.”
And the two lowered their backs and drew their swords. For some reason, those blades found themselves lodging into their wielder’s left arms. From their cut arms, a large amount of blood flowed. The blood dripped steadily towards the ground.
“Let me ask again. You’re sure about this, right?”
Aquinus inquired, and while Eveam’s face was stiff, she responded in a strong voice.
“Yeah, I’ve already decided it.”
She lifted up her bloody left arm, and above her head, a large magic circle manifested. Her blood was drawn towards that magic circle and dyed it red.
Aquinus flew up higher than that circle and held his left arm towards the ground. A similar magic circle appeared before him. The two circles were separated by exactly 30 meters
Aquinus’s blood was also absorbed into his circle, and his circle turned red.
All of a sudden, a sound like that of the earth rumbling sounded out. The clear sky suddenly became clouded with dark clouds, and lightning began racing across it.
In-between the two circles, a black mass was brought forth. Black lightning surged around it, as it gradually got larger.
And from both sides, people began to realize exactly for what purpose the two had appeared.
