"Don't worry, there's nothing to worry about anymore. I'll end that wretched, sinful life of the Dead Soul King."
The atmosphere here made even El's usually calm and unflappable heart feel a surge of excitement.
He drew his holy sword, fulfilling the expectations people had of him. Along the way, as a hero, he slayed monsters and saved villages and towns.
"Even I, without realizing it, have changed and improved?"
He placed his right hand on his chest and could feel his heart beating. The feeling was somewhat strange, though he didn't fully understand the emotion.
“That’s not important anymore. Since they trust me and are willing to place their hopes on me, I should be more serious.”
Stepping out of the tent, El drew his holy sword and pointed it in the direction of the great lich.
"Everyone, there is no need for fear or worry. As long as we work together, no monster can stand in our way."
I assure you, today is the day of death for one of the Demon King's Four Heavenly Kings, the King of Dead Souls.
Because decapitation strikes are best executed with blitzkrieg tactics, they prevent the High Lich Perid from gathering his army in one location.
Using his invisibility magic, El floated in mid-air with the powerful figures, approaching their target.
"This kind of magic is really powerful!"
A mage, feeling the invisibility effect El had cast on them, exclaimed in amazement.
Modern invisibility magic is no longer based solely on the initial method of invisibility that relied on water vapor refracting light.
As El becomes stronger, more effects are stacked up.
The wind element ensures that human scents will not diffuse, allowing the user's feet to leave the ground without making a sound.
The power of death suppresses the reaction of life force, making it difficult even for the undead to sense the target's presence.
The fire element regulates temperature, ensuring consistency with the environment, and will not detect any abnormalities when sensing heat.
Combined with El's elemental affinity, enemies will not detect any magical fluctuations.
With just one set of magic, the user would vanish into thin air before the enemy's eyes.
"This is the first time we've infiltrated so easily. No monsters even noticed us..."
The scene before them evoked a sense of melancholy in one of the soldiers. The reason their last operation had ended so badly was that they had been discovered as soon as they broke through the lines.
A large number of undead and ordinary monsters are used as a slowdown to reduce their escape speed, while high-level undead are mixed in with the monsters to launch surprise attacks.
"Alright everyone, get ready, we've arrived. Let's give our friends down below a surprise."
El stopped about a kilometer away from the lair of the great lich Perid. He was a cautious person, and it wouldn't be good if he got too close and was discovered in advance.
Moreover, he also sensed certain relatively familiar forces.
"Another magic circle. You monsters all use the same tricks..."
It was similar to the magic circle used by the Great Demon, only stronger and larger in scale.
It poses no threat to El.
"Perfect timing. Since it's a familiar setup, let's greet each other in a familiar way."
He grasped the holy sword with both hands, and magic began to gather.
The great lich, who was still playing tower defense games down below, sensed a strong sense of crisis.
"What's going on? Something's coming! Activate defenses immediately!"
"boom……"
At the same time the magic circle was activated, a golden pillar of light descended from the sky.
