“For you to be able to corner a demon [King] like this, you have my praise, humans,” The demon that appeared between the six-armed demon wears an attire befitting the title of a demon [King].

But without paying any heed towards the demon, the supreme general parry the demon [King]’s sword away and make another slash. The strike is even faster and heavier than the one the demon just blocked.

Boom!!!

Another sound of an explosion sounded. The demon indeed got caught off-guard, but he still managed to block the sword with his giant claws. Looking at the piercing cold stare of the supreme general, the demon could feel his guts warning him into retreat.

While the supreme general’s sword and the demon’s claw are pressing against each other, a huge figure appeared behind the demon and about to finish off the two demons’ lives.

“Gusion!!!” The demon shouted in panic.

Before duke Renstenor’s greatsword could reach them, red magic circles appeared beneath the two demons.

Whoosh!

“Huh? They vanished?” The duke Renstenor exclaimed in surprise.

“They teleported,” Said the supreme commander, answering duke Renstenor’s question. As an old demon is standing behind the two demons [King]s that had just battled with the supreme general and duke Renstenor.

Slime witness the battle of the supreme general and the duke Renstenor in awe. The supreme general’s battle strength might not as strong as the old man Kyron, but his battle senses are at the same level. And duke Renstenor’s explosive power also surprises Slime. Despite being a sword saint ranked warrior, how could he manifest such a power?

(No wonder the old man trusts him greatly) (Slime)

“You’re strong. For someone who is not even mentioned inside the prophecy, you could still harm a demon [King],” Said an old demon. Slime could feel the great hostility from him. His old eyes stare towards Slime and co with a pair of eyes that filed with disdain.

“Then maybe demon [King]s are just not that strong, to begin with,” Responded duke Renstenor with a fearless smile.

“Hmph! Such arrogance! Halphas! Malphas! You’ve disdained the honorable name of demon [King]s! For you to lose to such weak and lowly humans, how humiliating!” Scolded the old demon as the same red magic circle that teleported the two demon [King]s before him, appeared once again beneath them.

“You’re saying that, but aren’t you fleeing yourself?” Mocks the supreme general.

“It won’t be fun if I finish all of you now. You may say what you want, but the truth is just that-” 

Boom!!!

A thunder suddenly struck the old demon, even though the sky has no dark clouds. In other means,

“Mr. Slime…” The supreme general muttered as he saw Slime holding his magic halberd.

“Did it hit him?” Asked Alfred.

“The strike connects to them, but it seems that it’s not enough to finish them,” Answered Slime.

“Well now, supreme general. You might want to prepare to command the army now. Cause it seems that our plan of having the nobles’ armies retreat and proceed quickly might have failed greatly,” (Slime)

“Is there still a chance to have them surrender?” Asked Albus.

“Shame, I think that it won’t happen, Albus. I think they’re not in the state of mind control. Can’t you feel it, since that old demon appeared, there is an enormous amount of undead mana enveloping this region?” (Slime)

“T-they’re undead?” Asked Alfred.

“Yes, they’ve been killed and got zombified. Seems like he has dressed them properly, he must make a barrier to suppress the undead mana in the air. It might be a forbidden spell since zombies shouldn’t be able to withstand sunlight. Wait, don’t tell me…” Slime suddenly senses another thing in the air.

Not only Slime, but the others also had their hairs stood on their end. Before, it’s an enormous amount of undead mana that was released into the air, but now, a tremendous amount of demonic mana also starts to leak from the enemy’s armies.

“Soldiers!! Prepare for battle!!!” The supreme general’s order resonated throughout the battlefield.

The soldiers ready their swords and wait for the next orders, but not the goblins of the Tarot empire.

RRRROOOOAAAAARRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Slime didn’t know, whether they reacted towards the supreme general’s voice, or towards the dense demonic mana in the air. But all of the enemy’s troops roared like a beast, and their figure followed to transform into beasts.

The Grandarian soldiers start to break cold sweats when they saw the horrifying spectacle.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The goblin army lead by General Gracius Glemat thumped their weapons towards the ground. Their strength is genuine as the sound of the thumping defeats the roars of the opposition. Slowly, they stole the attention of everyone while all of them slowly walked towards Slime in an organized formation. 

“My lord, let us break their pace. It will also help us brings back the Grandarian soldiers’ morale. One order from you, and we’ll eradicate those beasts shortly, my lord,” The general asked for permission towards Slime in a very polite manner.

“General, as I’ve said before, you are the commander of the army that represented our empire, while the one holding the absolute command of the whole army is the supreme general of the Grandaria kingdom. I believe the military rule of the Tarot empire applies in all of the kingdoms, ain’t it, general?” (Slime)

“Y-yes, my lord,” Gracius approached the supreme general and asked him the same question.

“Indeed, we’re lucky to have the Tarot empire’s support. Please do so, general Gracius. Please lead the march, but we’ll start after the enemy start to march towards us first,” (Supreme General)

“But it seems that they have no will to march towards us, though,” Commented Alfred with a shrug.

“It’s fine. it’s a normal rule applied for lower-ranked undead or demons. They’ll either wait for the order of their master or attack when triggered. Seems like their master had ordered them to stay idle and wait for us to attack, so Al- Mr. Albus,” Slime called out Albus.

“Is it time?” Asked Albus.

“Yes, let’s open the war,” Slime ready his magic halberd.

“Tell me when you’re ready, it’ll take some time to cast a huge spell,” (Albus)

“It’s fine, I’ve engraved the circles underground,” (Slime)

Tap!

Slime tapped his magic halberd towards the ground, and several huge magic circles appeared. Albus’s eyes opened wide when he witnessed the spectacle.

“HAHAHAHA!! You must explain to me what you just did when we’re done here, Mr. Slime!!” Said Albus as he laughs and summons several huge magic spells just like Slime’s.

“Let’s match our timing, now!” (Slime)

BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!!

Rain of fireballs, thunders, meteors, and lightning struck towards the demonic armies. The spell is powerful, but Slime knitted his eyebrow as he saw his spells, and Albus’s spells hit the demons.

“It killed less than I thought, huh… But well, at least we achieved our goal,” Muttered Slime. Their spells indeed managed to kill about 1/10 of the demons’ army.

RRROOOOAAAARRR!!!!!!!

The demons roared and charged towards Slime and co as they got enraged because of the spell cast by Slime and Alfred.

But suddenly, the ground underneath the demons shook. 

“Earthquake?” (Slime)

“[Spike Stone Desert]” The voice of the “Saintess of Wisdom” Griselda Lockhart sounded.

Countless stone spikes appear beneath the charging demons, reducing their number even more.

(Well, seems like her title of “Saintess of Wisdom” isn’t for nothing) (Slime)

“Gracius, orders,” Slime called out Gracius.

“Attack Formation 1!!!” Gracius the goblin general shouted the orders, and in a short moment, the soldiers immediately formed a neat V formation and ready their weapons.

“My lord,” Gracius called out Slime in concern as all of the goblin soldiers ride on their wolves.

“Ah, it’s fine. [Create undead: Undead horse],” A huge skeletal horse rises from the black magic circle and bows towards Slime.

“N-necromancy…?” (Supreme General)

“Yes, it is. Ah, you might have some negative views towards the undead, but trust me, they’re far more docile than demons. As there is an undead kingdom under the Tarot empire,” Slime stated a surprising fact for Sera and co indifferently with a shrug.

“I-I see…” Muttered the supreme general with a small nod.

“Well, let’s start the show, shall we?” Slime jumped to the undead horse’s back and said as he ready his magic halberd.

Despite being a magician, Slime’s figure looked exactly like a great warrior. His stance, his vibes, and his gaze fueled the spirit of the others.

“Since Mr. Slime is a magician, let me accompany you as magicians are fragile, you see,” Alferd suddenly appeared, riding in a royal warhorse.

Slime about to rebuke and say, I don’t need your help, but people will question since when did they get close so he refrains himself to do so.

“Then us too,” Sen approached together with Edreale with the similar royal warhorse that Alfred used.

The other Avalon magic academy special class’ ex-classmates seem to want to join at Slime’s flank too even though it could also be considered as the most dangerous role to play.

“Feel free to join the fray, just don’t hold us back, okay?” (Slime)
