Geneon looked at Simone. His eyes were as deep as the abyss of the ocean. What was he thinking as he looked at Simone?
There were so many emotions that he could see, but it was frustrating not being able to read anything.
But he could tell one thing.
He was looking at Simone now, hesitating on his choice.
But how long did I have to wait? Soon, the same calm voice as always answered.
“My thoughts remain unchanged.”
I guess so?
She expected it, but it was still disappointing.
But since she knew why Geneon was so stubborn, Simone didn't grumble like she used to, but just smiled and nodded.
It's okay. The best way is to absorb the Demon King's power, but I'm not saying that I don't consider alternatives.
Even if Geneon had said he would rather die here, Simone had no intention of letting him die here.
“Yes, I get it. Any method that Geneon can accept will do.”
"What?"
Simone looked at Jace, who was standing behind her. Jace still didn't take his eyes off Simone today, waiting for her to say something.
Simone waved her hand and called Jace.
"Yes?"
As Jace bowed his head obediently before Simone, Simone whispered something softly.
“...Let me give it a try!”
Then, without fear, he went through the poison alone and disappeared somewhere.
“By the way, you too, get up.”
Geneon pressed Simone's hand with his forepaw. Simone's subordinates were holding on admirably, blocking the crack.
At this level, the remaining necromancers should be able to clean it up on their own.
“Now let’s go there.”
Geneon's gaze shifted to where the Demon King was.
Although Abel and the Crown Prince and his party are holding up better than expected, they cannot afford to let Simone, who is one axis of the huge force, rest.
Only when she joins can the situation change from 'holding on' to 'pushing on'.
Simone nodded silently as if she knew this, and then picked up Geneon and headed towards the lakeside.
"Hmm?"
Simone ran to the lakeside to help out as soon as possible.
As expected, this place was a scorched earth. The lake that had once stretched so wide that its end was no longer visible.
As the Demon King escaped, it was completely destroyed, leaving only a large mud pit behind.
The battlefield where the cracks had been felt was nothing compared to this place.
A poisonous substance floating so thick that it was difficult to breathe.
To protect the soldiers from the poison and the Demon King, thousands of wizards rushed in to create a barrier, and the priests clenched their teeth and blocked the Demon King's movements.
It seemed that all the magicians and priests from all over the world had gathered here.
The soldiers risked their lives, rushed to the Demon King, and died again.
Here and there, corpses trampled by the Demon King's hands and feet were strewn about in hideous shapes.
The words "This is a real battlefield" immediately hit Simone.
This is a real war. It's just one Demon King and the armies of the entire world facing each other.
But things weren't as bad as she thought.
When she raised her head, a red and gold aura was forming a fierce sword, cutting and wounding the Demon King.
The large dark clouds hanging over it rained down lightning irregularly, attacking the Demon King.
Contrary to the idea that their troops would be suffering to the point of near-massacre, judging by what she could see, they appeared to have quite the upper hand.
Because the Demon King is really helpless against the attacks of humans.
If you call it a counterattack, it's just like standing still, swinging your arms and legs while tied to the sacred rope.
Of course, the giant monster boasted enough destructive power just by shaking its limbs, and people were dying, but anyway, Abel's group and the soldiers were doing a pretty good job of subduing the Demon King.
'Then I...'
I'm sorry, but I guess I'll have to start by making all the dead bodies here into slaves.
As Simone was trying to catch her breath and raise the mana in her body, she heard a very disturbed sigh from next to her.
“That’s strange.”
It was Geneon.
“What is it?”
At Simone's question, Geneon tilted his head and glared at the Demon King.
“Weak. At least the Demon King I know isn’t that stupid or weak.”
Simone also looked at the Demon King.
"...Surely."
No one here, including Geneon, has actually seen the Demon King before he was sealed.
However, anyone who has ever taken an interest in the Demon King and flipped through a book or academic journal will feel that there is something strange about this situation.
No, even without seeing that, Abel and Louis, who were fighting at the forefront right now, would have already noticed something uncomfortable.
The same was true for Simone.
Simone had never actually seen the Demon King before he was sealed.
But she already knew from reading the original how scary the Demon King was.
The Demon King is a god-like being who can twist time and space and change the environment.
According to the original, as soon as the Demon King opened his eyes, he began to twist space and time, trapping humans in stopped time.
To transform themself into various forms and slaughter and slaughter again most horrifyingly and cruelly a human can be.
A clever being whose only purpose seems to be to cruelly kill humans.
An ancient being that no matter what, no way could be found to kill, so in the end, the only solution was to separate its body and seal it away.
That was the description that represented the Demon King.
However, even though the war was already well underway, the Demon King did not change his appearance from that of a monster.
If you are caught in the sacred rope, you can escape by making yourself small.
In its current form, it is nothing more than a giant beast.
“If things continue like this, the Demon King will soon be killed by Abel’s sword.”
“...Hmm.”
Anyway, since he's the Demon King, it's fortunate that he didn't have to come down to the village and that things were resolved quickly...
Something feels quite uneasy.
So far, Simone has changed many things from the original. But no matter what she changes, the Demon King's strength and abilities cannot be changed.
The Demon King simply awakens, without any build-up to strength.
But why did it become weak?
'Once I kill them, will I be able to find out the cause?'
Simone cleared her thoughts as she raised all the corpses on the floor into slaves.
Yes, let's kill that first and think about it. Even while they're thinking about this, victims keep coming out.
Simone raised the corpse and sent it to the Demon King.
Ugh...
The corpses began to crawl and run towards the Demon King, following their master's orders.
When Geneon saw that sight, he let out an exclamation without realizing it.
'Your skills have improved in the meantime.'
It seems that the brief battle that Simone experienced alone on the battlefield was a total experience for her.
Simone, who had previously been able to merely move and manipulate corpses, was now able to transform the horribly trampled and mutilated corpses into a form fit for fighting.
Perhaps the corpses that were used as Simone's subordinates here will at least be able to return to their families in their original form and be mourned by them when the battle is over.
“Huh, huh... It’s the hero! The hero has arrived!”
The soldiers who discovered Simone belatedly began to cheer after seeing the body of their comrade passing by.
Simone's use of her comrade's body is inevitably unpleasant, but even putting that aside, in the current situation, they can't help but be extremely grateful for the strong support group that has come to help them.
Now even the soldiers of the Luan Empire know.
Simone is only using all her skills, including corpse manipulation, to save themselves, to destroy the Demon King, and to save the world.
Her noble spirit should not be diminished or ignored simply because of her reluctance to manipulate corpses.
“All of you, make way for the hero!”
Simone stepped forward, feeling the gazes of people who were very friendly towards her.
She was thinking of going straight to join Louis and Abel's battle.
That moment.
Peeing-!
"Ah!"
Simone stopped, clutching her head.
Huh? What is this?
She closed her eyes without realizing it because of the high-pitched noise that felt like her ears were going to burst, and something appeared in her field of vision where she should not have been able to see anything.
Beep beep——
Two tiny dots glowing in the dark.
It was approaching slowly.
And after a while, Simone realized what it was.
Two red glowing eyes.
The owner of those red eyes that once caused Simone to suffer from eerie fear.
Anasis.
Soon her face filled Simone's vision.
The face that smiled strangely in the darkness whispered.
Now, now is the time
