The Superintendent said there was a way to help Amelia by calming the demon king's soul that was sealed inside her.

That was the awakening of Amelia's soul from the exhaustion of magic power.

Then he taught us what to do if the calming fails and the demon king's soul goes out of control.

This was only to minimize the damage to us and our soldiers on the battlefield.

The content is confidential, so he told me in secret, but I couldn't believe his words.

”Summon the Demon King's Castle and have the Demon King subdue it on the spot.

Normally, I would be surprised to hear that the head of the organization would go into battle with the castle of the fantasy's last boss.

Even if I had known that the demon king's castle would appear afterwards, I would probably have been surprised to see this scene.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

I almost took my hat off to the scene and couldn't help but chuckle at my lack of imagination.

The magic tools I was given are only for summoning this castle.

Special magic stones, special summoning tools, and various other special treatments have been used to successfully activate the magic tools and reveal the existence that is synonymous with the demon king.

The spotlight emitted by magic from the castle is clearly illuminating the darkened ravine until now, and we can see our surroundings as clearly as if they were dazzling.

The Demon King's Castle, which does this, has such a majestic appearance in the air that it's no problem to call itself an aerial fortress.

”This is the Demon King's Castle.

The atmosphere of the place was unintentionally brought to the demon king's castle, where the superintendent had a secret plan.

I wondered if the appearance of the brave Carter was such a prelude to his appearance.

Never mind the glare, I caught sight of the one I had summoned.

A huge black castle that made me recognize its magnificence, even though it appeared in the sky far above us from here.

It was as large as a small mountain, and although I couldn't see its full extent from my position, I could see the rings around it that kept the massive substance afloat.

The rings, like the outer wall guarding the castle, were triple-layered, with the outermost ring and the innermost ring going in the same direction, and only the middle ring going in the opposite direction.

Slowly, a familiar figure joins in the center as the flight-capable beings fly away from that black castle in neat formation.

”Going into battle yourself, sir?

Instead of the ceremonial appearance we've seen so far, perhaps that, Mr. President, is the Demon King's original battle attire.

What a typical Demon King outfit.

I'm sending you my honest opinion.

You're not out of the war zone, but you don't have any of the tension you had before.

It's a good thing that Amelia has come to her senses, although there are some things that are not quite right.

You're going to be able to get the most out of this.

From now on, this place has become the safest place on the battlefield.

The demon king, who is the basis for this, has now come down to a distance where his image can be clearly seen.

The demons, who are probably airborne forces, do not descend any further, claiming that this is the demon king's battlefield, and are waiting in the air.

The demon king wears a black cloak fluttering, black, unadorned armor, holds an old sword at his waist and a crimson staff in his right hand.

Hello, brave man. Did I keep you waiting?

”............

The demon king descends to the ground in a carefree manner as if he were meeting a friend in a coffee shop and speaks to Carter.

This is not a tone of voice to the person you will be fighting.

That's why it's effective for Carter, who had a relaxed expression on his face earlier.

The expression of Carter's silence was expressionless, as if he was trying to make you realize nothing.

The battle between the demon king and the brave.

It's a coincidence, but we were able to rescue Amelia and give Carter's guy the best fight we could muster.

”Amelia, we're going back.

”Yes.

The battle is about to begin.

Knowing that, I moved slowly back with Amelia, not to irritate the atmosphere.

In the meantime, I've been sorting out what the supervisor told me to do.

In order for us to be able to move in this action, or rather, to rescue Amelia, the supervisor had imposed some restrictions, or rather, some conditions.

There were three main conditions.

One, Amelia must not reach the battlefield.

This was done to limit the damage caused by the intrusion of a demon king's soul drunk with madness onto the battlefield.

Two, you must lure the brave men.

This is to use Amelia as bait to catch the main culprit of the riot.

Three, if you come into contact with the heroes, you must summon the demon king's castle immediately.

This is to ensure that we don't miss the opportunity to defeat the brave men.

The superintendent also gave me detailed instructions.

But this is just like an excuse for us to act as the demon king's army on the battlefield.

The details were kind of optional.

What's important is that we who aren't soldiers were allowed to enter the battlefield precisely because we obeyed this condition.

We could have squeezed the Demon King's army's reserve strength to hold back Amelia.

That would have been a more reliable way to lure Carter in.

Twisting it around, the supervisor was willing to take the risk of rescuing Amelia simply because the conditions were right in terms of strength.

The supervisor told me to gamble on the slim chance of rescuing Amelia between the first and second conditions.

He gave me time as an opportunity.

And it's up to us whether we make the most of that time or not.

Under these circumstances, time is up for Carter's arrival.

The moment we fall under the third condition, our role is over.

Call it reckless, but it was the only way to create an opportunity to save Amelia.

This was not an environment that allowed it.

That's how desperate the demon king's army was.

To the demon king's army, not to mention Amelia, the soul of the first demon king wasn't something they had to save.

In fact, there are those who are considered to be a hindrance to the current administration.

Summon the demon king's castle and capture or defeat Carter.
