The 10,000 demon soldiers gave me sharp, cold stares. I canât move. What should I do? In front of the enemy soldiers were captive dwarves with blades pressed against their necks.
They were the remaining citizens of Big-Gear.
Young and old, male and female, dressed in rags, their faces are tired and full of despair. There were about a thousand of them, and no matter how fast we moved, we could only save a few.
Many will be killed if I do something stupid. Even with my physical abilities, itâs impossible.
Grrrrr.
In addition, five small evil dragons are looking at me.
«Youâre the leader of the rumored Manyu Brigade? You seem to be a random human.»
A large thin man in armor approaches me and looks at me minutely.
«Who are you?»
«Iâm Mappa, one of the three new Demon Generals.»
He waved his arm, and chains flew up from the ground and bound me.
«Why am I losing my power�»
«These chains are a valuable relic possessing a skill called energy reduction. Even a high-level person canât get rid of them. Itâs a weapon Rudra-sama was preparing to use against Roswell.»
This isnât right. Iâm running out of power.
How come thereâs a relic like this in a place like this?
«Donât worry. Your defenses are good enough to withstand something like this. Besides, we donât want you to die so easily. Those who face Rudra-sama will have to be tortured before tasting death!»
With those words, he punched me in the face. However, I did not feel any pain.
«Kukuku, you wonât get away with this.»
«âŠâŠâŠÂ»
«Impossible! How have you not taken any damage! Mappa-samaâs level is 1521!»
I took several hits after the first one, but still felt no pain.
«I see youâre quite resilient. Well, itâs time for you to feel more fear.»
Mappa then uses electro shock magic.
I felt numb. The amount of magic power is directly related to magic resistance.
I have a ridiculously large amount of magic power, so even magic that would make a normal person scream gives me no more than a small tingle.
«I know youâre feeling pain, come on, donât hold back, Iâm just getting started.»
«KuâŠÂ»
How long do you plan to continue this? I feel an unpleasant tingle. Iâm not suffering any physical damage, but the mental damage is greater.
It is very unpleasant.
«Why arenât you screaming!? Hey you, bring me a whip!»
One of the soldiers approaches Mappa, hands him a whip, and he immediately starts hitting me with it.
Why hasnât he realized yet that none of his torture techniques are working on me?
If this keeps up, I have no doubt that they will find a way to hurt me that will really make me feel pain.
But before that happens, we have to free the hostages.
«Well, I guess physical harm doesnât work on you. But luckily, I have a mental damage ability, for exampleâŠÂ»
«Ughh!»
Pain that I hadnât felt for a long time starts coursing through my body.
No way, this is not physical pain. Itâs mental pain, itâs an illusion. I have to be strong.
«Agh, agh, aghâŠÂ»
«Not even the best trained man, and with the greatest stamina can resist this ability, it wonât be long before youâll be begging me to kill you. I want you to feel pain! Feel it! Feel all that pain coursing through your body! Come on, start crying! I want to laugh at you!»
The pain makes it hard for me to think clearly. If only they would let the hostages goâŠ..
Toph toph toph toph
The enemy soldiers around me start collapsing one by one.
Huh?
Whatâs going on?
But Mappa still doesnât notice whatâs happening to his allies, and keeps focusing on me.
«Get ready. Iâll make you feel the most intense pain of your entire life!»
«Uggh!»
His whip violently strikes my body.
More enemy soldiers continue to collapse. After this an unusual situation continued happening for a while, the rest of the soldiers noticed and started to move.
A strange tail-like object emerges from the shadows of an enemy soldier, and instantly pierces his head. In addition, dog-like creatures emerged from other shadows one after another and mercilessly attacked the necks of the soldiers.
In the blink of an eye, the enemy army was in a state of confusion. They could no longer afford to pay attention to the slaves.
«Donât separate from the slaves! Return to your positions!
«Mappa-sama! Thatâs itâŠ!»
One of the soldiers points his finger in the distance. When I looked in that direction, there was something running fiercely from the horizon. It was a man in armor, and he was also accompanied by a large number of people behind him.
At the head of the mob were Kaede and Frau, both riding a rock rat.
«Master ïœ Weâve come with reinforcements ïœ!»
Really?
Thank you⊠Thank you very muchâŠ
But, according to the meeting we had before we made this attack, there werenât going to be any reinforcements. It was then that I looked around clearly, and saw some familiar faces.
«I canât believe Iâm about to save Toru-sama! I must write this in my diary!»
Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Luvue, who was leading Galbaranâs army, attacks the enemyâs left wing.
By the way, Galbaranâs army was hoisting the «Kaede Love» flag. We got the biggest boost from all the reinforcements.
«Prepare to attack! Make them tremble before the joint attack of the elves and dark elves!»
Monica, who was on top of Bechjiro, gives out orders. A black and white snake carrying a dark elf pierces the enemy with its fangs.
Likewise, the elves who were riding on the snakeâs body use spirit magic to attack the demonic race from a distance.
Was that giant snake summoned with magic?
«Hold your position here! Our forces will actively defend in the face of this attack!»
«Grrrr!»
A large shadow was cast on the ground. Next I looked up, and saw a swarm of fairies who were carrying a huge object, which landed right in front of me.
The earth shudders under its weight. With the weight of the creature.
«A B-BehemothâŠ. Why is it here!?»
Mappa said trembling.
«Guruwaahah!!!
«Ueeeh!»
Mappa shuddered at the roar. The person riding Ichiro was someone I was familiar with. Marianne, daughter of Count Roane.
«Ah, we meet again, Toru-sama. It seems Iâve arrived just in time.»
She got off Ichiro and untied the chains that bound me.
«Iâll tell you the details later.»
«Sounds good to me.»
I cracked my neck and turned to look at Mappa, who had managed to get to his feet.
«Now the roles are reversed.»
«Itâs not fair to call in reinforcements!»
«Ironic that you should say that.»
Mappa hit me hard with his whip. After receiving about thirty lashes, he staggered and flinched at my lack of a reaction.
«Why doesnât it hurt you?»
«Oh, I forgot to tell you, Iâm level 3000.»
«I-ImpossibleâŠÂ»
I jabbed Mappa with my index finger, causing his head to explode.
Kaede and the others approached me after I took care of the general.
«Master! Master, master, master, master~!»
«Hey hey, stop crying.»
«My Lordïœ! Hueeeh!»
«Donât wipe your nose on my clothes!»
My two pretty slave girls hugging me while crying made me feel relieved and my expression, that had been stiff, finally relaxed.
I didnât want a guy like that to kill me. However, I wasnât willing to abandon the hostages.
If I have a chance to help them, I have to take it. That was what I was thinking at the time.
«Gaaaaaaaah!»
Countless fairies clung to one of the evil mini dragons and attacked it from all directions. Itâs body was writhing in pain.
The four remaining groups of reinforcements continued to attack and made sure that no demons would come near us.
«Kaede, Frau, letâs end this battle.»
«Yes!»
«As you command!»
I ordered Chupi, Rosuke and Kuratan to help the reinforcements.
Kaede handed me my sword, and I climbed on top of Ichiro to head for the main gate.
«Letâs finish off that dragon!»
Ichiro jumps up, and a flash appears after I wave my sword. The evil dragonâs body is cut in half. The evil dragon has an amazing regeneration ability, though if you block it, the fairies will easily be able to take it on.
«Letâs go get the other two!»
Ichiro heads towards the direction I pointed out, and this time I took it upon myself to cut them both down.
«Good job, Ichiro. You and I make a good team. Now there are only two left.»
Ichiro roars with joy, and we head towards the final two dragons. In the blink of an eye, I cut them both in half, and they lay dead on the ground.
One of the dragons was dripping some kind of mucus, and the other had its snout open. It was about to swallow me.
UmmâŠ
The inside of an evil dragon has a magnificent view in a sense. Well, itâs a sight you donât get to see every day, so itâs fascinating.
As Ichiro and I went inside of the dragon, I wielded my sword and started slashing all over the place to make sure it couldnât regenerate. We came out the other side of the dragon bathed in blood, chunks of flesh stuck to my clothes and its fur.
«Itâs time to face the Demon Lord.»
«Iâll follow you, Master!»
«Frau too!»
Ichiro burst through the city gates with his body and ran vigorously through the city.
