Chapter 1247 – A Trampled World

Around that time. Ground.
Oooooh.

A holy light twinkled in the sky.
An aura like a thin curtain descended from the light and enveloped the entire land, an enormous area that combined the sacred land and the land of odor.

Even though it was such a large area, the defense power was so great that even Jinma couldn’t easily penetrate it.

“…You’re crazy.”

The magic demon king Limage was impressed.
The aura was so strong that her portrait giants could not penetrate it.

The being that gave off that aura was none other than Kaitsu, who had fallen to the ground.
Although he is assisted by Cardinal Marie, he covers this large area on his own.

‘Instead, it seems there is a restriction that you cannot use powerful attacks while maintaining that Aurora…’

Even taking that into account, it is enormous.
To be honest. It was thought that no matter how great humans were, they would never be able to defeat the Demon King of Purgatory one-on-one.

How can humans win against a creature that continuously fires wide-range attacks on an infinite basis, has no fatigue, and instantly regenerates even massive wounds?

But I was wrong.

‘With that level, I might be able to fight Darark of the Serious and that damned Hardesh…?’

Those two people had more hidden power, but that hero also seemed to have hidden a lot of power.
But…

“Ah. Even taking that into account, there is no answer.”

Cold sweat rolled down Li Meiji’s beautiful cheeks for an unknown number of times.
30 minutes have already passed since the Portrait Titan was activated and the users and demon lords arrived.

The number of paranormal giants caught so far was… Five at most.

Even so, it was attributed to Twiga, who was angry and said he was being buried after seeing Kaitz’s performance.

Currently, Twiga was going crazy because she was angry that her powers were not being displayed properly.

“Kaaaaa! You insolent bastards!!”

Kwakwakwakkwak!!

Except for Kaits, Twiga stood out more than anyone else and flew all over the battlefield, but it didn’t make much of a difference in the battlefield.

Meanwhile, Remage opened the gate and called in hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers from all over the Demon World, but all of them were helplessly trampled by the paranormal giant.

The paranormal giant, who was naturally strong but extremely strong against the devil, was so powerful that even the devil lord could not dare to respond.

“Remage. Shouldn’t we stop protecting civilians right now and start intercepting the paranormal titans?”

Diable spoke cautiously, but Remage shook his head.

“Super giants are even more powerful against us demons. Wouldn’t it be great if Twi was strong in hand-to-hand combat like that idiot? With our abilities, we’d have to focus extremely hard to kill one of them.”

In that case, it would be better to protect the residents and let humans fight in peace without worrying about them.

Furthermore. What will I hear later if I ignore Dre’s request and loosen my protection and cause damage?

Diable stared at Remage’s side face and spoke in a whisper.

“You believe in eight days…”
“Huh? No… Well, it’s not like that.”

Remage cleared his throat loudly and pointed at Kaitsu.

“That bastard. He’s as insidious as Hardesh, right? The fact that a guy like that only focuses on defense means he has something to trust.”

Just like the strange alarm sound indicating that the goddess’ body had been completed earlier, there was no doubt that Dre was doing something to her.

I just hope he makes it on time.

In the meantime, not only the hero party but also the rankers gathered next to Kaits, who unleashed the Aurora.
It was a natural instinct to flock to the most conspicuous and strong person on the battlefield.

“Hey, you idiot. Shouldn’t we get rid of that?”

Maiya pointed with her finger at the ‘Created Colossus’ in the distance.
The giant robot stands quietly, deploying a protective shield among the paranormal giants, and Roldd sits leisurely next to the flying object next to it.

Although it was quiet now, it seemed like it was preparing something.
Kaitz nodded his head as the rankers looked at him.

“The occupant of that robot has control of the paranormal titan. If we take his crown, we can stop this situation.”
“You should have told me that from the beginning!”

Adele, the singer dressed like a minstrel, made a fuss, but O’Brien understood why Kaits wasn’t moving.

“That robot. It’s incredibly powerful. I can feel its power stronger than that of the True Purgatory Demon King.”

The rankers fell silent for a moment at O’Brien’s words.

“In particular, the defense is extremely strong. It is constantly emitting the unique Ryunar of the teenage family Hest, and Hest is famous for its strong defense. With so many Paranormal Giants, it is… Impossible to get rid of them without getting in the way. It looks good.”

The specifications of the colossus created by O’Brien’s observation privilege were so strong that they were hopelessly powerful.

Whatever power it has, it doesn’t work on that robot.
It is a robot that seems to have been infinitely strengthened from a paranormal giant, and can truly be called a ‘giant’.

“Isn’t that Ga Ga Gai…?”

Reina said, twisting her head.
Maiya tilted her head slightly.

“Huh…? Isn’t that a robot from a children’s cartoon? “Isn’t your name Gao Ga-wi?” “We all came from different worlds in the first place, so what’s the importance of names?”
Paltra said harshly.
Poise completely ignored the rankers’ words and settled the situation.

“Among the people who can fight at the moment, we are the strongest. The hero, me, Raina, and those demon lords cannot fight properly because they are using all their power to prevent the paranormal giants from going out. Even if I did… I don’t know if I could kill 100 of them.”

Even stopping the advance of the paranormal giants was reaching its limits.
This is because the user’s spiritual power is quickly consumed, while the stamina of the paranormal giant is infinite and adapts to any situation.

“Honestly, I think I need to use a special attack to kill it now… Have you thought about it, hero?”
“There is.”

The rankers made an audible noise at Kaitz’s assertion.

“There is still hidden power. It will be activated soon. But…”

The conversation didn’t continue, but everyone knew what it meant.
In the end, even that is just a matter of ‘buying time’.

“I’ve been waiting for the rest of the Purgatory Demon Lords to join… But it looks like it’s going to be difficult.”

Demon World’s maximum power. The Four Great Demon Lords, also known as Calamities, showed no signs of appearing at all.
It may not be that we are assessing the situation yet.
If they stay still now and the paranormal giants advance, they will most definitely be destroyed.

‘I thought that with the division gone, restrictions on traffic between the human world and the demon world had completely disappeared, but it seems that there are still some restrictions on the Four Great Demon Lords.’

But I wasn’t anxious.

“You will soon complete your mission. Let’s hold on just a little longer. First, get the author’s attention.”

Kaitzu’s eyes are next to the giant. She headed towards Roldd who was on the flying object.
At that moment, he was also slowly standing up, looking at Kaits.

[Kkkk… It’s amazing, it’s amazing. If there had been talent like that among us in the past, my friend wouldn’t have left so cruelly…]

Rolled’s mechanical eyeballs, which were looking at Kitz, looked very lonely.
That too for a while. Gooooo! Roldd raised Ryunar and began the next operation.

[Notice to all citizens of the Holy Land.]

Rolled’s voice became that of a beautiful woman, rather than a man’s voice mixed with huskiness and noise.

Yes.
The main system of the Holy Land. It was the voice of ‘Iren’.
As usual, he informed all the dwarves in the Holy Land about the situation.

“Irene worked!”
“Hey Irene! What’s going on!”

The dwarves were delighted.
It was natural.

How can one follow this crazy development of a sacred site rising above the ground, walls collapsing, countless giants appearing, and suddenly appearing demons and humans fighting?
Meanwhile, it is a situation of great chaos, with all buildings completely protected by shields and hideous red flesh.

It was natural for the dwarves to desperately look for Iren, who did not show up even when they called, and to try to find out what was going on.

All the dwarves listened to Iren’s reactivated voice, and a look of disappointment appeared on Kai’s face when he noticed it.

“Oops…!! O’Brien. Use your special privilege to snipe Roldd right now! Homun! Manipulate the rumor…!”

Shuaa!
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!!

Kaitzu’s voice was drowned out by the roar.
As if they were targeting this moment, the portrait giants, who had been moving slowly until now, all threw fireballs towards Kaits.

The Aurora of Light completely blocked all attacks, but the intense shock wave erased all communication skills.

Rold continued speaking leisurely in Iren’s voice.

[The secret weapon of the dwarves hidden by demons in the stinking land. An attempt was made to seize control of the ‘Paranormal Giant’.

The Portrait Giant is an ancestor who was worried that demons would invade one day. The final line of defense arranged by the first Hest and hidden in the wall.

The demons tried to control such precious things and trample on the sacred land.

Fortunately, the worst situation where the pilots were taken away was prevented by the brave guests who entered the Land of Stink, but due to an unexpected accident, the Paranormal Titan was activated and received a wrong order to trample everything around it.

The evil demons, who feel a great threat from the paranormal giants, are collaborating with the evil-minded strangers to try to eliminate the giants and us all.]

The dwarves who heard that far stopped breathing.
Everyone stopped and listened, and Rold, who paused for a moment, continued speaking with a look of satisfaction.

[Everyone. The safety of the Holy Land is now greatly threatened.

We protect you and the sacred site with the special power left to us by our ancestors, but one day we will reach our limit.

Dwarves, everyone. We are embarrassed to admit the limitations of this artificial intelligence, but we need your help.

Please defeat the evil demons and protect our sacred land and our ancestors’ treasure.]

After finishing his long speech, Rold smiled.
Prince Dolia, with a dumbfounded face, stared at him with the face of a giant.
Rold shrugged his shoulders and said.

Hehe… It’s a propaganda method that demons often used in the past. That also worked in the early stages of the war… But just as much as you guys used us, we will use you too.]

Roldd’s speech was heard by even strangers with good ears.

In a bewildered atmosphere… Suddenly, dwarves equipped with weapons and reinforced suits poured out from all over the building.

Dwarves are all natural creators, and all their weapons are powerful.
I don’t know about the ranker level, but it’s enough to be effective for high-level users or high-ranking demons.

“Damn you demons!! Where am I?!”
“Risk your lives! Children of the Earth!!”
“Strangers!! After all, they are an untrustworthy people!”
“I will break your bones!!”

Voices and eyes full of excitement and fury.
Rold’s strategy… Worked very well.
Dwarves are a race that is very sensitive to atmosphere, and their judgment is poor in situations of great chaos. Above all, trustworthy artificial intelligence appealed.
The statement that the demons who had recently invaded the human world were now targeting the dwarves’ sacred place to destroy it was a very appropriate lie for the current situation.

“Oh, no…! You stupid dwarves!”

Remage was embarrassed and updated the coordinates of the shield and put a shield on the dwarves.
Then the dwarves’ morale soared even further.

“Oooooh!! The power of our ancestors is with us!”
“Do not be afraid!”

Li Mage gritted his teeth.

“You idiots! Stay still! If you keep moving, I’ll just kill you…”

Shuaaaaa! Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwaaaaa!

Missiles raining down from the ground into the sky.
It was a barrage of mounted golems moving around the ‘Steel Colosseum’.
Their artillery fire did not penetrate Remage’s defenses, but infuriated her.

“These…!”
“…Remage. Let’s kill him.”

Diable’s chilling voice. But Li Meiji shook her head.

“Then it’s really going to serve that damn scrap metal guy’s purpose, right?”
“It doesn’t matter. Those people were only a hindrance to stopping the Paranormal Titan in the first place, right?”
“I know. Part of me wants to kill them all…”

Remage’s eyes looked at Dre, who was somewhere underground, and then at Hero Kaitz on the ground.

“It seems those guys think differently.”

Just now, the rankers were running and yelling next to Kaits.

“Hey! We are transcendents from this world!! We are here to protect you! Don’t be incited like idiots and just stay still!”

O’Brien expressed his disapproval at Maiya’s shout.

“Maiya, please speak nicely. I can’t even trust you.”

At that moment, Paltra shouted.

“They’re like insignificant bastards who don’t even know grace!!”
“…Ah. Damn. I don’t know.”

O’Brien sighed.

Gentiles are basically incarnations of self-love that indulges in self-indulgence.
However, on the other hand, even though they had great power, they had a sense of duty and organizational skills enough to belong to a large clan, so they were not ones to attack civilians carelessly.

The people they were trying to protect became angry at this situation where they were attacking them and started swearing, and the dwarves further misunderstood the violent reaction and attacked… The strangers could not bear to attack them… It was a vicious cycle.

Meanwhile, the demon army sent from various places became angry at the dwarves’ attack.

“Dwarf bastards!”
“You idiots with a burnt smell!”
“Kill them all!”
“How dare you destroy our demon world?”

The demons went berserk and tried to kill the dwarves.

Characteristics of demons.
There is no harmony.

Characteristics of a stranger.
There is so much karma that it is difficult to be trusted.

With this fantastic collaboration, the Holy Land becomes even deeper. It fell into great chaos.

“Hero…”

Marie looked up at Kaits next to her.
Scholars did the same.
Kaitzu’s expression still did not waver.

The scholar chuckled.

‘In the past, Kaits would have sacrificed a cow.’

They probably gave up on the dwarves a long time ago and continued to pour in powerful artillery fire to eliminate the paranormal giants.
Even if you do that, if it doesn’t work out, you’ll probably go back.
The scholar… Liked the current soft kites.
That was the same for Marie.

Marie was ambiguous about whether Dre was still a good or bad guy, whether she liked him or not, but she acknowledged that the man had changed Kaitz.

“Hero. I will maintain the barrier.”
“Mari… It will take a huge strain on your body to maintain this barrier alone.”

Marie spoke not with a frail face, but with the face of a monster, a genius, and a hero who became the youngest cardinal.

“Please leave it to me.”
“…!!”

A trustworthy figure that she knew she had to protect.
Seeing that… Kaitsu nodded his head.

“I get it.”

Kates moved his feet, and at the same time Roldd stretched out his hand.

Kuaaaaang-!

A huge sub-space opened in the air, and a huge building-like arm stretched out like a missile.

[It is a crude imitation of the one in the abyss.]

Crude? Kaits thought it was ridiculous.
It may seem like a one-time use, but… That attack is definitely strong enough to work on you as well.
That kind of thing is crude?
I am thrilled by Rolled’s skills and the ‘thing’ in the basement.
But. A shiver is just a shiver.

Kaitz extended both her hands forward.
Hundreds of millions of light curtains overlapped into one mirror-like shield.

Kwajijijijijigi!

The barrier of light and the giant fist wrestled with strength.

[Under. It took decades to make that thing and you’re stopping it? Try to cheat as much as you can. Hero.]

Despite his words, Rolled opened his arms, his voice full of pride and laughter.

[Look. Prince. Even such a strong warrior can’t do anything about my work. Like this. In the world, those who prepare win.]
“…Indeed. I see.”

Everything that has been planted in Roldd for 10,000 years creates synergy and is overwhelming against the world’s strongest army.

Prince Dolia closed his eyes and became intoxicated by the immense power…

Papa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa.

I was astonished by the ‘energy’ that appeared throughout the Holy Land.

[!!]
“What?!”

These small energies that appeared as goal spheres throughout the Holy Land grew exponentially, reaching hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions, and eventually hundreds of millions.

“W-what?! This is ridiculous!!”

Prince Dolia couldn’t believe it.
These energies… Were all spirits!!

Kwajigijigi!!

Kaitz, who had just crushed her fist, smiled.

“You’re late, Lena Artez.”

The summoned spirits moved straight away.

It clung to the portrait giants, stopped the demons from attacking the dwarves, and appeared next to the dwarves, whining and crying as they told them not to do it.

[Everyone.]

Another beautiful voice rang out in the shrine.
That voice resonated with hundreds of millions of spirits.

[The one closest to the sword of light flames. This is Lena Artez.]
[…!!]

Rold couldn’t believe it.
This is because I realized that hundreds of millions, hundreds of millions, almost billions of spirits… Were summoned by that one girl.

Among the spirits summoned, there were many spirits of intermediate or higher level.
Considering that it is difficult for a typical elementalist to summon more than five intermediate level spirits… Can that be called an elementalist?

This reminded me of ‘her’ who had been sealed together with the dwarven goddess in the past.

[Her! Even the spirit god Ipalia has awakened…?]

Unaware of Rold’s astonishment, Lena continued speaking.

[It may not be easy to believe, but everyone. Iren, the artificial intelligence of the Holy Land, has been contaminated by the foul-smelling land and is being controlled by an unidentified enemy. The same goes for portrait giants.]

The dwarves hesitated and tried to get angry, telling them not to laugh.
This is because artificial intelligence, which has been with them their entire lives, was a truth they could trust more than anything else for the dwarves.
However, before the dwarves could get angry, Lena spoke.

[Look carefully. Everyone. Among the portrait giants and strangers, who is trying to protect you?]

The dwarves looked around.
The giants were running wild regardless of the damage to the building.

The strangers only swore at the dwarves’ attacks and did not make any real attacks.
Their expressions looked troubled.

[I can’t believe it. I know very well. So someone you can trust will tell you. Teacher.]

Right after Lena finished speaking.
A man’s voice rang out.

[Please trust me just once~]

It was a grumpy voice.
A very reassuring voice.
It was the voice of the biggest star in the Holy Land at the moment.

Eight days.

The dwarves lowered their weapons.
Their eyes wavered.
Right after. Lena said.

[And the person whose name is being called now, please come to the place where the spirits lead.

Giants.
And the Supreme Giant, Frennen.

Let’s create the best work together!!]

A bright voice that does not suit the situation.
There were people who were angry about that.

[Create a work of art? I don’t know what I’m going to do, but do you think I’ll just sit there and watch? Prince Dolia!]
“Yes.”

Kugooooo!!

Prince Dolia tried to crush the spirits by moving half of the portrait giants.
Although the spirits were ten times more numerous, they were no match for the paranormal giants.

And that moment. A new alarm rang.

Tiring!

[Great masterpiece!! Goddess’ ‘Jin. ‘God’s Crown’ has been produced!]

Rold’s eyes wavered.
Jin. God’s Crown…?

No way… They created another crown of God?
I don’t know anything else. This was something I could not have even imagined, let alone predicted.

[Now…What on earth is going on…?]
