Chapter 11: Let’s Crush the Foolish Emperor, Part 6
It looked like a huge tower made of soil.
[What is that? What is the meaning of this?]
But no one was able to answer the Emperor of the Sands’ questions.
Uzermart was observing the battlefield through the screens powered with magic. And in the middle of it there now stood a columnar tower that looked just like a pile of soil hastily gathered together in a desperate effort. It was just crude and big, with no apparent mechanisms inside of it.
Even if it was supposed to be a weapon, it couldn’t have been an effective one.
Because it was erected far beyond the see on the shores of a different continent.
He knew that the Demon Lord had the means to connect the two continents and transport his forces between them, but he also knew that there was a limit. He couldn’t transport any kind of large structures.
This was probably some kind of trick. That is what Uzermart’s intuition was telling him. Something that was supposed to distract him from his main objective.
Under normal circumstances, such a strategy might have been effective.
Omniscience was an amazing power, but it had some drawbacks. The biggest one being the fact that human head was unable to hold so much information. It was of course possible to have the knowledge about the entire world, about each and every grain of sand, but it was simply too much information. Being able to see the whole world and actually seeing the whole world were the two fundamentally different things.
[I see, I understand! So that’s how it is!]
Scanning Aur’s surroundings, Uzermart finally understood it. The red-haired sword user, probably the strongest piece in Demon Lord’s arsenal. He must’ve acquired abilities on par with hers when it came to swordsmanship.
Now that made so much sense. In their current situation, killing him was the most logical option. And with that girl’s ability to teleport wherever she wanted applied to the swordsmanship techniques, doing so was no longer outside the realm of possibility for them.
But he must’ve failed to notice it yet. That the Emperor of the Sands took countermeasures against tactics like that.
This pyramid is not just a simple fortress. It also generated a powerful barrier. Inside that barrier, no gods except for Atom had any authority. Even is that Dungeon girl tried to take it from him, it would all be for naught. And with the power of his god at his disposal, he could overpower anyone who would be foolish enough to oppose him.
This place was his absolute, impregnable means of defense. With it standing, his victory was unthreatened.
At that moment.
[Huh?]
The Emperor of the Sand’s expression got distorted.
Staring at the sight before him, his eyes widened in disbelief.
[Impossible!]
In front of him, a truly preposterous scene was displayed.
[What comes into your mind when you think about human…. Male most important quality, Sakuya?]
[Quality?]
Sakuya tilts his head at Aur, who got all philosophical all of a sudden. Maybe it was due to the lack of sleep?
[A strong will and a heart able to forgive and accept others?]
[Maybe I should specify a little. The most important quality when it comes To Misha and her favour.]
Sakuya Wondered on that matter, while looking at Aur with a careful eye. He really looked like he didn’t have much sleep at all.
[Let me think… When gods bestow their gifts upon humanity, they usually bestow women with their favour, shrine maidens to be exact, but the Goddess of Fortune is a special king of god who grants her gifts to… men.]
According to the old legends, the Goddess of Fortune was originally phallic in shape, so it would be natural that she would bestow her blessings upon men.
[That’s right. According to Misha, my power could not be raised any further because I was lacking in one quality critical to all men. Mainly, because my divine vessel was not big enough.]
[Divine vessel? Does that have something to do with the soul or the storage of magical power in the male body?]
[It does, but at the same time it does not.]
Aur shook his head and said.
[It’s about the size of my penis.]
[Bughaa, gu, ku, kufu, ghuuu!]
Sakuya inhaled deeply and tried to suppress her laughter while her face was growing redder by the second.
Not realizing what her reaction was all about, Aur continued to talk about something so ridiculous.
[Misha is a goddess that can block and merge the boundaries, and according to her, the size of the boundary is proportional to the size of the penis.]
[Fufufufu, ahahahahahaha! Stop it! Stop! Don’t say. Another. Word!]
Sakuya finally gave in and laughed her heart out while holding her stomach with her hands.
[So basically what I did, was to increase the size of my penis so much as to allow our Heavenly Dungeon to pass through the gate!]
Aur cried out triumphantly. So he was actually that desperate, huh?
It was the place that Aur took away from Melizand, the base in which he currently dwelled on the Old Continent. He then explained to Sakuya how he needed to stay there to alter his body so that it would be able to stand the increase in magical power granted to him by the enlargement of his penis. Wow. So something like this was what would decide the fate of the New Continent Dungeon?
Uzermart’s ruin would be brought by the flying Dungeon from another continent summoned by a d*ck enlargement operation.
…..
Now I’ve seen everything.
[It’s great to see you all again. Now this guy right there has quite an enjoyable expression on his face does he not?]
[I think so too!]
Mari shouted happily to Melizand who showed them the appearance of Uzermart who looked like he just shat his pants.
[But this certainly is useful. I would have never expected that the power of a Heroic Spirit could be used in such a way.]
One of the Heroic Spirits under Melizand’s control is the man formerly known as {Unknown}. The one who could see all, now going by the name Gaius the Blind.
[Using it in such a way. I am both proud, and somewhat sad at the same moment.]
[All right you guys, now is the time we’ve all been waiting for! Let’s give them hell!]
Melizand had a Heroic Spirit inside her body and could freely use its power. The scenery in front of her eyes was transmitted to the eyes of the archers positioned at the Dungeon’s edge. Those were Black Alv Archers with Ellen at the lead.
[We have infinite arrows! Shoot as many as you like! LEAVE NONE OF THEM ALIVE!!!!]
The arrows came from the trees in the forest area of the Heavenly Dungeon, a sacred place with strong affinity for magic that Alvs took as their residence. There was no need for them to process the branches of the trees into actual arrows, as the branches themselves were filled to the brim with magical power.
The rain of arrows poured down from the heavens and completely covered the earth, mowing down the Immortal Sand soldiers like they were grass. It was the first time when Melizand’s clairvoyance and Alvs magical skills were combined into one attack.
But since their enemies are already dead, even the rain of magical arrows was not able to stop them all from moving.
[Oh winds, oh clouds, please come forth and bestow your blessings upon us!]
Then the white Alves led by Celes used their magic to gather clouds in the area, and made the rain fell down on the soldiers, soaking them all with water. But once again, they were not so weak as to let a little water cripple their ability to fight. But that was also what the clouds were there for.
With a deafening roar, bolts of lightning came from the clouds and went flying towards the tree branches pierced into the bodies of the soldiers. They were acting like lightning rods.
Among that terrifying spectacle danced a silver-scaled giant dragon. It was the body of {Metus the Fearful}, the most powerful dragon in existence, currently inhabited by Wolfe, the King of Heroes. His poisonous breath melted the rotting corpses in a flash.
[As for this Sofia girl… well, it seems that she can take care of herself just fine.]
Changing the surveyed area to the Dungeon, she saw the three headed beasts running around at incredible speed. The one commanding them was no brave knight or anything of the sorts, but a simple village girl who was more terrifying than any demon, Mio, also known as the Queen of Demonic Beasts.
But the biggest drawback to Mio commanding the beasts herself was that she was totally defenseless. So in the current situation, there was a possibility that she could have been easily overwhelmed.
And she was.
The undead soldiers were attacking the Cerberuses from every direction with their weapons, and some of them were even climbing on top of them.
Mio was unable to see those that were approaching from behind her, as she was sitting on top of the head of one of her beasts.
However, none of them managed to leave even a scratch on her.
Before they were able to reach her, they were stopped by a two-headed snake known as Amphisbaena. It bit the soldiers with its sharp fangs, turning them into stone in the blink of an eye.
The others had no luck either, due to the fact that the Salamander sitting on Mio’s right arm burned anyone who dared to approach her, and if someone managed to do that, their blades were shattered on an invisible wall made by Carbuncle, the monster who was able to create barriers at will. They finally broke through it after a while and managed to put a scratch on her cheek, but that wound was licked by a white bird sitting on top of her head, and when he did, the wound disappeared like it was never there to begin with. And it was like that with every wound Mio received, but in addition, they appeared on the Immortal soldier’s bodies soon after. That is because the white bird was a Karador, a beast blessed with a divine power that allowed him to heal wounds and diseases and transfer them onto others.
Even if Mio herself failed to notice the attack, her beasts did that for her and prevented them. And if they were unable to prevent it, they healed it up quickly. Like that, Mio could finally be called a One Woman Army of Demonic Beasts.
[Well, I think she’ll be just fine if we just let her do her own thing.]
[Yes, I think it will be better for everyone.]
Mari responded to Melizand who was just smiling wryly.
