Oscar immediately took out the sword from the treasure chest and threw it at Nieze. Nieze took the sword and relied on the skills and physical enhancements of a desert warrior to barely hold his own against the enemy.

Then, in order to save Bartram from the flames, Oscar fired a group of "small magic swords" at the gray-clad men.

The gray-clad men keenly sensed the danger and immediately dispersed. At the same time, they divided into rearguards and vanguards. The rearguards bombarded Oscar with lightning strikes and fire spears from all directions, while the particularly agile vanguards launched a continuous attack like a tide.

While Oscar was dealing with the tsunami-like attack—

"Ah ah!"

All I could hear was Meredith's scream as the black-clad figure wielding the assassin's sword forced her to the ground. Perhaps it was because gravity magic not only didn't work, but it couldn't even be activated if she was close to the enemy.

But even taking that into account, she seemed to be neither thinking nor fighting as well as Meredith usually was.

Even so, Meredi, true to her nature, was able to instantly activate her barrier to block the assassin's thrust. However...

The assassin's sword pierced the barrier bit by bit, widening the crack. It wasn't just the black-clad man's brute strength; the sword was probably a divine weapon.

Oscar tried to rescue him, but was blocked every time by the gray-clad men. Their fighting style was based on clever coordination and a one-hit-and-run tactic, with the sole purpose of holding Oscar back.

Concerned about the presence of the experimental subjects, Oscar hesitated to launch a large-scale, all-out attack. And even though he knew he couldn't hold back, the thought that the men in black were also victims of the experiment flashed through his mind. Oscar used his chains to capture each of his opponents, then struck them down reliably... but Meredith was far away.

"Damn it, Bartram! I'm counting on you, Milledi."

Oscar had no choice but to ask the excellent butler Slime for help.

"Watch this!"

Miredi used earth magic to blast the ground, causing the man in black to lose his balance.

She took advantage of the opportunity to dismantle the barrier, entangled the opponent's feet with the light-attributed binding magic "Binding Brilliant Chain", and simultaneously launched a wind cannonball. The man in black was hit in the abdomen and flew away.

(He didn't invalidate magic, only gravity magic was invalidated!)

Meredy didn't know whether to feel relieved or terrified. Attribute magic worked, but Age of Gods magic didn't. What kind of a joke was this?

Gravity magic had helped Meredith overcome countless difficulties and was practically half her being. She couldn't believe it wouldn't work, so she cast it again towards the spot where the man in black had fallen. However...

"Still ineffective..."

The man in black got on all fours, still ignoring the supergravity field, and rushed over immediately.

Meredi stretched out her hand, wanting to fight back with attribute magic... but at that moment, the goddess of battle sneered.

Meredith felt dizzy and her consciousness wavered.

She had previously thought her physical discomfort was just an illusion, but now it left her vulnerable. Just as she was about to unleash her storm magic, the structure collapsed in a hollow process.

(Oops!)

I saw a flash of silver light, and the light of death came towards her chest—

At this moment, she heard a sound of tight pulling.

Mireddy fell to the ground and rolled backwards to create some distance. She saw that the reason for her rescue was that multiple tentacles had entangled the assassin's sword.

"You're amazing, Bachuram!"

Miredy placed one hand on the ground, and lightning flashed instantly.

Coincidentally, the other two companions also used the same magic at the same time.

"Black Umbrella Nine Styles: Limited Release—"

“Ahhh, this is so annoying!”

—Lightning!!

The voices of the three people overlapped, and it was like a flash of lightning that was about to split the space.

In order to prevent the power from reaching the cells near the wall, the three of them set up a barrier, allowing the lightning to flow around themselves.

The loud noise vibrated their eardrums, and when the flashes of light dyed their vision white, Milady and the others naturally gathered together, forming a circle with their backs against each other.

After the light faded, although the Gray Man seemed to be defeated, as expected, the Black Man was still alive.

"Mileddy, are you okay?"

"Huh...Huh...I thought I was going to die, but thanks to the excellent Bachuram, I was saved."

Before he knew it, Bartram was standing at Meredith's feet.

It was obvious that his master Bandu was in danger, but Bartram did not rush to save him. Instead, he assisted Meredith and the others. This might be because of his master's order.

"You look pale, are you really feeling unwell?"

"Haha...I think so. I'm a little too confident in myself."

Natsu asked worriedly. Although Meredi spoke lightly, it could be seen from her expression that her physical condition was not as optimistic as she said.

Meredith was clearly exhausted, her breathing was rapid, and her body felt hot. She was sweating slightly, so she must have a fever, but she was also shaking, probably because she was cold.

She gritted her teeth, not knowing whether she was spurring her uncomfortable body or angry at herself for having such a problem at this critical moment.

In the cell by the wall, the subject looked at Miledy and the others with desperate eyes, as if asking for help.

Although I thought that even if they were the only ones there, I must find a way to get them to move, however... the black-clad man's magical interference was an obstacle.

Well, what should I do? Meredith was about to think, but the other party did not give her time to draw a conclusion.

At this time, someone spoke. His voice was soft and calm, but it revealed hidden malice.

"I see, so it is. It seems my experimental unit is indeed effective."

There was a hole in a part of the ceiling.

A man emitting blood-red magic emerged from the cave. He was dressed in luxurious clothes and descended gracefully from the sky.

He was a young man who was probably less than thirty years old.

He had long, straight, brilliant red hair, dark skin, and slender eyes with crimson pupils like the moon. He was a man of breathtaking beauty, yet the inexplicably cute short braid dangling by his left ear gave him a strange impression.

"Originally, I was supposed to listen to your names, but... today is an exception."

His tone and expression seemed a little mischievous, but gave people a lot of pressure.

It seems that his magic power is not inferior to that of Miledi and others.

"Nice to meet you, children who master the magic of the Age of Gods. I am Ra'l, Ra'l Alba Igdol, the king of this country—the Demon King."

This handsome man is the Demon King of our time—the Demon King who leads one of the two great powers in the world.

"A divine weapon user."

Oscar said this with a slight sweat on his face. In his eyes, the gorgeous ornaments on Demon King Rasl looked like ferocious fangs.

But that's no wonder. Whether it's the headband worn as a crown, the symbol of the Demon King, the sword at his waist, the rings and bracelets on his hands, the earrings, the necklace, or even the shoes, they are all divine artifacts.

"Well, you are the creator of the divine weapon, right? As the one who carries the magic of creation in this era, it is an honor to meet you."

"...Modern times?"

The Demon Lord Ra'sar did not answer Oscar, but snapped his fingers.

Then a hole opened up in another part of the ceiling.

Seeing Bartram's body sway slightly, there was a sudden tension among Milady and others.

A man who looked like a strong old general and a female general with an intelligent appearance were seen capturing a person and lowering him to the ground. As expected, the person was Bandhu.

His body was heavily sealed and covered in wounds, which were still bleeding, indicating the torture he had just endured. He seemed unable to stand up and could only kneel on the ground, his posture as if he was sticking his head forward.

"Ben, you're really too much. Why don't you introduce me to such a great friend?"

The implication was, "Don't bring it here secretly while I'm away!" Bandu raised his head and glared at Rasl fiercely.

"How dare you say that! You said you were going to the Western Regions for an inspection. You were lying to me!"

"You will not be insolent in His Majesty's presence, you bastard!"

The tip of the female general's shoe poked Bandu's cheek. Bandu groaned and the corners of his mouth cracked, so he closed his mouth.

"Little Class!"

Meredith tried to rush forward, but the old general's sword was pressed against Bandu's neck. In addition, the black-clad man with gauntlets also came up behind Bandu.

In this case, it would be impossible to use gravity magic to stop the two generals' actions.

"You're talking about cheating? That's really harsh. I went to inspect it, then decided not to, so I canceled the trip. That's all."

The attack on the Leysin branch failed, and the intended hostages are missing.

However, Rasl knew who was responsible for the destruction. Although the world was vast, only one person could command and control such a large number of monsters.

Then as long as you deliberately leave a gap, Bandhu will find someone.

That seems to be the case.

"You are a gentle child. You would never stand by and watch someone die. Furthermore, given the current situation, the only person you can turn to for help is the 'Liberator'."

"! I can't hide anything from you."

"Of course, I know everything about you. And that's only natural, because—"

──You are my dear brother.

Meredi and the others probably guessed it, because Bandu knew the inside story of the Demon King and the castle too well.

"I never thought you were really the prince of the Demon Kingdom."

Oscar said as he adjusted the position of his glasses.

"Since he is your dear brother, how could you do such a cruel thing to him?"

Meredy asked with a trembling voice.

"You got the order wrong."

I love him not because he is my brother, but because he is a useful brother (a guinea pig).

Hearing him say this, a fierce fire ignited in Meredith's eyes, which represented the fire of will to rescue Bandhu.

"Haha, you've become quite close with that princess from Laisen."

"That's right, everyone here is already good friends with Ben—you better wake up now."

Meredy's tone was very calm. Lasser said, "Raisen is indeed terrifying," but his attitude was very frivolous. He shrugged and said:

"Because you're scary, I'm going to use this."

Before he could stop it, the ring on Rasl's right middle finger began to glow.

In an instant, Meredith's pupils lost focus.

"what……"

"Miledi!"

Meredith was about to fall, Oscar quickly supported her, and then felt her body getting hot, Oscar opened his eyes in shock.

"What did you do!?"

Natsu asked angrily while protecting the two of them.

"This is one of the magic weapons against Lesin."

The first generation of Laisen caused the Demon Kingdom at that time a lot of headaches.

So, isn't it necessary to take one or two countermeasures against the Lassen clan? Lasser said this with a nonchalant attitude.

Although the cause was unknown, Meredith's condition was rapidly worsening. Her fever was so high that she was unconscious and had difficulty even standing.

"Okay, I think you've probably noticed that gravity magic and space magic don't work on me."

Lasser tilted his head.

"No, to be more precise, it's because my masterpiece is ineffective."

The man in black holding an assassination sword stood quietly behind Lasser.

"Ban probably told you they were an experimental unit for the Church, but that's not the case."

What is so scary about the church?

It lies in the Church's remaining combat power. That is, the "God's followers," specifically the Age of God mages. The leader of the White Light Knights is a natural, but Age of God mages like the first Raison have also appeared in past history, and most of them fought for the Church.

Therefore, the Demon Kingdom thoroughly researched history and carefully investigated the magicians of the Age of Gods. They obtained their relics, descendants, and those who possessed similar inherent magic, and studied them.

Everything is done to fight against the God Age Magicians.
