Chapter 104 - Volume 6 (2/2)
At the center of Tokyo…… no, at the heart of the [True God Tokyo], I threw a spear of darkness with all my might.
The spear roared as it flew, destroying hundreds of Oni as it flew towards Tokyo.
[…HELP…!!!]
“Boom!”
An enormous quake shook Tokyo, blocking off my [Spear of Darkness], as the tsunami-like shockwave emanated from [True God Tokyo].
“[Brilliant Shield]!”
I blocked that off quickly, but my consciousness grew hazy for a moment from the sheer force of that impact.
…… As expected of a god.
Following that gap where I lost my posture for an instant, the group of Oni attacked again.
Right now, even a [God] would have barely been an opponent for [True God Tokyo], and moreover, I couldn’t keep up with the countless opponents.
“[Dark winter that falls from the sky] ……”
Although I’m not good at it, it’s not like I’m unable to do ranged attacks, you know? And, the range of this magic…… is the entirety of the city of Tokyo.
“… [Rain of Darkness] …”
As I cast my spirit magic, the entirety of the blue sky was covered with dark clouds.
And falling with the black rain that came from the clouds was a massive magic that struck at the spirits.
“Hey, if you don’t block it, the humans will be harmed, you know?”
Somehow, that sounds like a line a supervillain would use.
They might not have heard my voice, but tens of thousands of the Oni gathered to try and prevent the Rain of Darkness.
It won’t cause them a lot of damage, but their movements are sealed…… right?
Those Oni are not the [True God Tokyo], and it seems that the monks have the power to decide their own actions.
ZUZUZUZUZUZUZUZUZUZUZUZUZUZZUUZUZUZUZUZUZUZU………
The streets of Tokyo are rumbling again.
What is it this time? Were you getting impatient at the Oni who weren’t moving as you expected? From the land of Tokyo, an immense [Power] erupted, and created something massive.
“…… A Dragon…? No, a snake?”
Simply put, it’s just a snake-like shape, almost as if a child was trying to draw it with a pen and scribbled it out sloppily.
However, I still feel a strong power.
Around 10 of those things came out. Among them, there was a particularly large eight-necked snake that had the overpowering feeling of an Arch Demon.
Finally, you’re getting serious, forming your own [Underlings].
Then.
“…… I too, have to call out to my own underlings”
Whether they’d come or not was a gamble. But the odds are in my favor.
“…… [Demon Summoning] ……”
As I cast my summoning magic, a huge [layered magic formation] formed in the air.
I don’t know why, but I don’t have any compulsion in my summoning magic, and I can only summon things that voluntarily cooperate. …… such as marine products.
But when I came here, Rinne told me that they would follow me. Even if I didn’t know where the Holy Kingdom was, if they were trying to follow me and came close……
“Come on now…… my cute little attendants……”
The dark cloud that remained in the sky got even darker, enough to turn the day into night.
In opposition to the god’s underlings, four pillars of light faded as they pierced through the sky, thunder roaring as four humanoid figures appeared.
[[[[…………]]]]
The demons that came into this world…… four terrifying arch demons that rivaled the power of a greater spirit that could cause a natural disaster.
KIIIIIIKIIIIKIIIKIIIIIIKIIIIKIIIKIIIIIIKIIIIKIIIKIIIIIIKIIIIKIIIKIIIIIIKIIIIKIIIKIIIIIIKIIIIKIII!!!!
Like several thousand people running their nails down blackboards at the same time, the laughter of the rejoicing demons echoed throughout Tokyo, shattering the glass windows of Tokyo skyscrapers.
I could hear humans screaming from the ground. While the demons laughed and rejoiced at that.
You guys, you’re getting too ahead of yourself with happiness.
“Master!”
“Yurushia-sama!”
Ripping up the Oni that blocked their way, my four follower Demons flew to my four sides.
The first two to come were the girls with blonde and silver hair in maid dresses. As Fannie instantly jumped for my chest and Tina followed, I grabbed onto her face out of habit.
“W- Wryy?”
“…… Ah, sorry, I’m glad to see you again.”
As I grabbed onto Tina’s cheeks with a *punipuni* and humored her, the brother and sister duo approached me after annihilating the surrounding Oni.
“It has been too long. Master.”
“Yurushia-sama, we’ve arrived~”
“Everyone, it’s been too long…… you’ve worked hard. Are you all aware of what’s happening?”
As I asked them somewhat unreasonably, Nea the Escort Knight, and Tina the maid who didn’t understand at all confidently nodded, while Fannie busied herself fawning on me and wasn’t listening in the first place. Among them, Noa the butler was grinning.
“It’s not a problem. We are your arms and your legs. Your sword and shield. Please give us our orders.”
“Yes, ah, well.”
I grinned broadly gave them their orders.
“Destroy these knaves who are obstructing me.”
“”””Yes!””””
Well, the preparations are complete…… but, to leave the four of them, who are Arch Demons, is it alright to let them be?
As they scattered despite my worries, I took out something like a ‘key’ from my pocket and slotted it into the sky.
“[Open…… [Lost Eden] …]”
Suddenly, from the remaining clouds that were dyed black…… a [Door] opened.
“……… Uwaah.”
What is this…… I didn’t hear about this.
Thousands of [Greater Demon]-like evil beings appeared from there and descended upon the city of Tokyo just like black snow.
“Noa!?”
“There are no problems. All of them are a part of Yurushia-sama’s army.”
“I-is that so?”
Well, whatever…… But now, we no longer have an issue with numbers.
Well then, I’ll give them their orders. It’s a bit exciting.
“Greater Demons!”
[OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH………]
As I called out to them, thousands of them looked up to me and cheered.
“Rout the Oni. Broil the puppet masters.”
[OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH……!]
And so, the battle between the God’s underlings, and the Demon army began.
There were some differences in number, but their strengths were nearly equal.
In the town that was covered in darkness as if deep at night, the [Demons] and [Oni] clashed with one another.
For the people who were living in the Tokyo area, they looked uneasily at the dark sky, and among them, some of those who could ‘see’ knelt on the spot with an expression of despair as if the Apocalypse had come.
“……[Clairvoyance]……”
As I chanted my spirit magic to use it to peer and check on the [True God Tokyo], I finally found what I wanted from the temple that was under attack by the Demons.
Wearing a lascivious kimono like a poor villain in some horribly-remembered period play, a woman who had twenty-something pretty boys serving her wandering around, came out in a panic with a fearful expression.
“I found you…… Matsuri…”
