“… …”

“… …”

"This guy said it all, it has nothing to do with me."

"Ah, you—how disloyal!"

Click.

Hulim clenched his fists.

"Uh, that... Hulim? Calm down, please calm down, it's all a misunderstanding!"

Snap!

"Hey, can we reconcile?"

"ah--!!!"

... ...

... ...

Many days have passed since the battle ended.

These days, the enemies from the demon world have not made any major moves, and the destroyed facilities have not been restored.

They just sent more troops to surround the World Tree.

“It’s so quiet…”

On the walls of Ilz.

Irus looked at the army of the demon world in the distance, with a feeling of uneasiness in her heart.

We have already gained nearly half a year, why?

I feel even more uneasy than before the action began.

I can't figure it out...

"Irus."

A calm voice sounded behind him.

Irus turned around and saw a familiar figure.

"Arthur?"

Arthur looked at her seriously and slowly lowered his head.

"Please allow me to carry out the previous plan again."

"no!"

Irus decisively refused.

"No need to send anyone else, I can go alone! I can definitely buy more time!"

"Absolutely not. Now the number of their devices is much smaller, and their defense is far more concentrated than before. Moreover, based on our previous experience, the Demon God and those Demon Kings will not give us another chance."

"but--"

"Arthur!"

“… …”

"We still have time. It's not time for you to fight to the death..."

“… …”

Irus turned around and faced Arthur again.

Looking into the distance, he whispered:

"...Go back."

After a long time.

Arthur nodded dejectedly.

"yes... ..."

Take a step and leave.

As a result, no step has been taken yet.

Boom——!

A loud noise came from a distance.

Outside the World Tree, a huge space crack suddenly appeared in the sky above the Demon Realm Army.

A giant device as huge as a mountain slowly descended from the gap in space.

Rumble...

The huge noise caused by the device landing even triggered a major earthquake, shaking the entire city of Ilz.

"Hahaha--!"

The demon Andusia flew and landed on the top of the device, and his laughter almost spread throughout the world.

"Listen up, you bugs! I'm going to show you what happens if you cross me."

"Don't you want more time? Then I'll just destroy the entire planet and see how long you can survive in that shattered world. Hahahaha!"

Well, even though this would result in a lot of losses, I can't waste too much time here. After all...

After coming to this world, I always feel that there seem to be many extraordinary traces nearby.

Although it is unlikely, it would be more troublesome than good if it really attracted some troublesome guys. It is better to end it quickly.

"Start the instrument for me--!"

Following Andusia's order.

Boom!

The huge instrument beneath her feet roared.

The earth shattered in an instant, and a huge instrument began to drill towards the center of the earth.
