Chapter 299 – All-Heaven Festival Contest Final Stage “Demon King Castle Bloody Field” (21) / The Name of That Power Is…

299 – All-Heaven Festival Contest Final Stage “Demon King Castle Bloody Field” (21) / The Name of That Power Is…

A wolf-like howl resounds.

A great werewolf who boasts a huge body about three times bigger than that of the average members of his kind…

A strong warrior full of masculinity.

「Thank you for calling me, Chief of Staff, sir!」

The Boss of the 4th Floor of the “Impregnable Demon King Castle” — The “Chief of the Werewolves” Marchosias.

Another distant howl echoes in response.

Its source is another Demi-Beast, one with the body of a large quadrupedal animal and huge wings reminiscent of a bird of prey…

He possesses a peculiar unique Magic spell that can grant invisibility not only to himself but also to his allies.

I gently stroke his cheek as he lightly approaches me.

Adjutant demon of the 1st Floor of the “Impregnable Demon King Castle” — The “Invisible Slaughterer” Glasya-Labolas.

And Next to him, there was a figure of a large three-headed “black demon dog”.

「Whenever the Chief of Staff summons me, it’s right in the middle of a deadly battle, huh?」, happily says one of his heads.

The first person to greet those who challenge the Demon King Castle. A person who uses hellfire to burn intruders to a crisp.

The Boss of the 1st Floor of the “Impregnable Demon King Castle” — The “Watchdog of Hell” Naberius.

「This is our king’s battle as well. I’ll throw in every spirit of the dead I have at my disposal.」

In contrast to the somewhat pale and unhealthy looks on his face, the knight’s armor that covers his body is exceptionally well-tempered.

It’s obvious when you look at his own sword arm…

On top of that, he himself is a sorcerer who is adept at controlling the dead.

In this day and age, he has adapted his craft to be able to control the Avatars of fallen adventurers.

The Boss of the 2nd Floor of the “Impregnable Demon King Castle” — The “Spirit Commanding General” Kimaris.

「I don’t know how well these poisoned arrows will work against the strongest Demon King, but… I’ll do my best.」

A beautiful Dark Elf with slit eyes, wearing a cloak on top of a light costume that leaves few of her features to the imagination…

Not only is she quite proficient with her bow, but her poisonous arrows are also terrifying. The usual flow in the 2nd Floor involves her weakening adventurers with her poisonous arrows for Kimaris to turn them into ghosts.

Adjutant demon of the 1st Floor of the “Impregnable Demon King Castle” — The “Black Wound Hunter” Leraje.

These are my earliest Contractors, who helped me during the battle with Fenix on the 10th Floor.

And they are not the only ones.

Golden hair, concealed eyes, and sharp fangs. A creature that has transcended humanity and is able to manipulate blood…

Adjutant demon of the 3rd Floor of the “Impregnable Demon King Castle” — The “Impaling Daughter” Haagenty.

Long, wavy golden hair with bluish traces, and jewel-like scales on the lower half of her body…

The Boss of the 6th Floor of the “Impregnable Demon King Castle” — The “Ruler of the Waters” Vepar.

She’s swimming in a water ball of her own making, and it’s a huge one at that.

Which makes a lot of sense, considering that there’s another monster swimming inside it with her.

A shark Demi-Beast boasting a gigantic body reminiscent of a giant whale.

Adjutant demon of the 6th Floor of the “Impregnable Demon King Castle” — The “Seamonster” Forneus.

A gentleman with a unique appearance, a birdman wearing a bird costume…

The Boss of the 7th Floor of the “Impregnable Demon King Castle” — The “The Eloquent Thrush Lord” Caim.

A giant crow Demi-Beast, and a user of a spatial transference ability that was different from Agares’…

Adjutant demon of the 7th Floor of the “Impregnable Demon King Castle” — The “The Phantom Thief Crow” Raum.

A lamia with white hair and scales, and a direct subordinate of the Chief of Staff with demonic eyes capable of petrifying their target on the spot…

A creature belonging to the 10th Floor of the “Impregnable Demon King Castle” — The “Evil Eye Assassin” Botis.

These are the main force of our Demon King’s army, excluding those who have already been defeated.

In addition to that, those who I made a connection with the “Elementary Level・Beginner’s Dungeon”…

— The “Zero Knight Archer” Orobas.

— The “Generous Sage” Ronowe.

The one who fought with Lem in the Tag Tournament and with Lemegeton in the raid…

— The “Silver Sands Strong Arm” Berith.

Those who signed a contract with me since they were restricted to raids at first…

— The “Deep Forest Archer” Stolas.

— The “Undefeated Hero” Ellie.

Those who found something interesting in Lem during this All-Heaven Festival Contest and decided to form a connection…

One of the Big Four of the “Southern Demon King Castle” — The “Flame Manipulator” Aim.

And a creature belonging to the “Southern Demon King Castle” — The “Flame Spear Soldier” Amy.

All of them agreed to form a contract with Lemegeton, the Chief of Staff of the “Impregnable Demon King Castle”.

All of them were summoned to this stage at the same time.

It’s a drastic move that can’t be realized unless we’re at this crucial moment, but if this is what we can do, then it’s fine.

「Our enemy is the strongest Demon King. But there’s nothing to be afraid of.」

I prepare my Black Sorcery and then unleash it.

I shoot at all the stars.

「I ask you to deal with the red stars that protect him. Each of them boasts magical power comparable to that of a “Demon King”, but that’s it.」

The answer was shown to me by none other than Master.

His Black Magic causing Furcus’ Magic Tool to wither made me realize something.

Black Magic cannot be cast directly onto other spells.

However, Master’s stars are actually made out of shards of his horn.

And Magical Energy is the source of everything. Naturally, it is also the source of life.

Even if I can’t make my Black Sorcery reach Master, shouldn’t I be able to make it reach each of his countless stars?

Even if I can make that happen, I may not be able to spare enough Magical Energy to bring them all to an end.

How much of my own Magical Energy will be lost if I try to do that?

That’s why it’s okay to just weaken them until the limit where the strong ones can destroy it comes.

Because I can summon those strong ones.

I think that Master’s strength has reached its peak as an individual.

It’s not just his Horn Armor or his Black Sorcery.

When it comes to the four major attributes, Master is outstanding at those as well.

It’s the same with White Magic.

I’m sure he’s still hiding some kind of secret art other than the one that he used to limit the power of my horn.

However, as far as these stars are concerned, his disciple has already devised a strategy.

If we have an opponent we cannot defeat by normal means in front of us, that’s where I come in.

My function is to weaken such an enemy enough so that my allies can secure the win.

「Of course, once we’re done clearing these stars away, we will have the opportunity to fight the strongest Demon King himself.」

Some of the more belligerent among us let out their shouts of joy.

「You guys have a Black Sorcerer with you. The weakened army of the Demon King is not your enemy. Rampage to your heart’s content and destroy the surrounding stars – destroy them all.」

The people here are aware of my power, so they don’t doubt my judgment.

Or rather, they see the same things I do and believe what I say.

That is truly something to be thankful for.

There are still people I can rely on in this place.

「“Storm Hero”, “Flame Hero”, “Water Hero”… Attack together.」

That should be enough for those three.

Foras will join our other companions without me having to give him any instructions, and the two Demon Kings will move as they please.

「My Demon King. Let’s go.」

「Yes.」

Those who I fought alongside on various occasions, as well as those who I would sometimes fight against.

Today, in this place, each of them is a valued ally that will lead us to defeat the strongest Demon King.

These connections are the key for me to win against Master.

Against the teacher who has been standing alone at the top of the world.

I’ll gather everything we’ve got, and together we’ll find a way to reach him.

And then, we will win.

That’s exactly what I can do.
