Master of Noble Phantasm Outsider

He thought about it and contacted Rex, who was comforting the refugees, to inform him about the situation here.

"...Brother, if he really wants to kill us all, then he will most likely attack us."

Rex came to an empty corner and assessed the current situation as calmly as possible.

"However, referring to the situation of the last natural disaster, or the natural disaster treasure owned by the second-generation demon king, it is impossible to control the type and power of natural disasters... Moreover, my second brother should not be defeated so easily. We may..."

Rex stopped talking midway through his sentence.

Even if the situation is as they guessed, it is still quite bad.

The last storm disaster lasted for five days, destroying the entire Kazdel and causing countless casualties among residents.

If this natural disaster of falling rocks continues for the same period of time, it will be difficult for them to hold on.

[Rhodes Island] This treasure may be able to withstand natural disasters, but the passengers inside are just mortals after all, and they still need basic food and drink.

Unfortunately, they are completely short of food and water. Now that they cannot go to the ruins of the city to look for usable supplies, some people may not be able to hold on.

The Sarkaz are indeed a natural fighting race. They have strong endurance and can go without food or water for a period of time without any problem, but this is only limited to qualified warriors.

Not all Sarkaz are warriors.

Other races on the Terra continent always think that the Sarkaz are all soldiers. Although this is true to a certain extent, it is not applicable to all occasions.

　The current situation is an exception among exceptions.

They had just experienced a natural disaster not long ago, and even if they had enough physical strength and endurance, it was now almost exhausted.

Rex knew very well that even if this natural disaster was weaker than the last one, many of the more than 3,000 refugees on [Rhodes Island] would still be weakened and die.

However, they have no way to change the status quo.

It was already a great fortune to be able to obtain the protection of a huge treasure and avoid being directly ravaged by another natural disaster. They could only find a way to grit their teeth and hold on.

"I'll go see how to arrange the remaining supplies..."

Rex sighed and ended the communication.

Conan-san couldn't think of a way to solve the problem now.

Or they could rely on the huge treasure of [Rhodes Island] to protect them and risk natural disasters to search for useful things in the ruins, but the chances are slim and it might be in vain.

"Rhodes Island has a mechanized automatic system that can produce food and water, but without basic raw materials, it cannot create things out of thin air..."

Conan-san scratched his hair in annoyance.

In the end, if this damned Heroic War doesn't end soon, their troubles and dangers will continue to arise.

"Tsk..."

Conan-san continued to sit in the bridge, constantly monitoring the natural disaster outside, and paying attention to the fluctuations of the magic power belonging to the heroic spirits.

Due to the arrival of the stone rainstorm, the visibility outside was extremely poor, and [Rhodes Island] could not see the scene too far away.

As for the system that monitors magic power, the situation is similar.

The natural disasters on the Terra continent in this stitched monster world are essentially caused by the chaos of magic. After the natural disasters occurred, the magic sensing system of [Rhodes Island] was almost useless and completely useless.

"The only thing to be thankful for is that it looks like this natural disaster is not targeting us..."

[Rhodes Island] The current damage is very low. After all, this behemoth is still a treasure with strong defense and durability. Even if an endless rain of stones falls down, the impact is still limited.

Even if some fragile parts of the armor are damaged, you can immediately consume magic power to repair them.

This is what is called the convenience of a Noble Phantasm.

"Hey, it looks like the trouble here won't end today..."

Conan was helpless and looked at the dark sky outside.

"I will officially start classes at Hogwarts tomorrow, but I can't be distracted by things here. It's so annoying..."

Conan-san takes the War of Heroes here very seriously, but he cannot ignore the situation on the main body side.

"I can only rely on my willpower to try to control two bodies at the same time... huh?"

Conan-san suddenly stood up from his seat.

Just now, the image of Rhodes Island's magic detection system fluctuated dramatically and issued a sharp warning.

However, even without the reminder of the treasure, Conanshan saw the changes outside with his own eyes.

The natural disaster lasted for about an hour, and the rocks that had been falling to the ground stopped.

It stopped suddenly without any warning.

It was as if the sky had collapsed and a hole was torn open, and from the depths of the crack, a brilliant light was emanating.

It was an unnatural light composed of huge and pure magical power.

"This is……"

Conan-san's eyesight couldn't see the true face of the radiance, but his treasure was very considerate and captured a clear picture.

The source of the light is a dark and sharp crown.

Conanshan immediately understood what this thing was.

This is the devil's crown.

This is the core of the ritual of this heroic war.

To put it in terms of a game from Conan's previous life, the "Holy Grail" has come out.

"……I go!"

Although Conanshan wanted to put an end to the trouble here as soon as possible, he did not expect that the changes would come so quickly and rapidly.

Things developed too quickly, catching people off guard.

"The winner has been decided... The appearance of the core of this ritual means that there is only one Heroic Spirit left here... Uh, I, a fake Heroic Spirit who was summoned illegally, does not count..."

Conanshan quickly contacted Rex.

"Rex, come to the bridge! Something big has happened!"

059 Demon King's Crown

"Has the war of heroes here been decided?!"

Rex ran as fast as he could in the wide passage of the land ship.

As soon as he received the notification from Conan-san, he immediately handed over the matters at hand to others and rushed to the front bridge of [Rhodes Island].

Beside him, a drone followed him closely.

The images of the outside world captured by [Rhodes Island] were transmitted to him through this drone.

"Although Big Brother told Han:８污√↑欺∽～6⑥⒊㈣寺2 that he was prepared, but...it ended like this!?"

Rex did think that his eldest brother Villette might win, but he predicted that it would take at least some time. Even with the cover of natural disasters, it would be difficult to defeat the other side's heroic camp.

Who would have thought that less than an hour after the natural disaster struck, the war of heroes that had lasted here for half a month would have ended.

Based on the current intelligence, Rex estimated that the winner of this wise war should be the eldest brother Villette.

Of course, there is also a slightly lower probability that the second brother Blake will win.

But no matter who wins or loses, the result is the same.

The Kazdel Heroic War is finally coming to an end.

The black crown that broke through the dark clouds in the sky and radiated a dazzling light like the sun was undoubtedly the core of the ritual of this War of Heroes.

Rex knew what this crown was. It undoubtedly represented the authority of the Demon King in concept.

Its essence is a huge concentration of magical power, and it is a "wishing machine" that will only appear after the ritual of the War of Heroes is truly completed.

"The appearance of this thing means that there is only one heroic spirit left here..."

If the ritual of the Heroic War that took place in Kazdel had not undergone additional modifications or added rules, even if the number of participating Heroic Spirits increased several times and they were divided into several different camps, the ritual could only be declared complete after the battle ended with only one Heroic Spirit left.

Considering that the war of heroes here is to complete the legendary power of the Demon King and create a powerful force, then now in Kazdel, the only one left is probably the final winner who will take over the Demon King's crown.

As for Conan-san who was summoned in an illegal way, judging from the current situation, he does not seem to affect the whole process of the ceremony.

What's more, the strength of his spiritual foundation is the same as that of ordinary people, which is almost equivalent to nothing. Overall, his existence or non-existence will not have any impact.

"……I see!"

Saga's cry of sudden realization came through the drone.

He did not go to the bridge with Rex. He was left behind in the middle of the land ship, temporarily taking over Rex's job of managing and commanding the Sarkaz refugees.

However, he could still observe the situation outside through the drone.

"I understand where the core of the Heroic War ritual is hidden here! That thing has always been above our heads! No wonder we can't find it! The throne room on the ground is actually a central connection. Even if it is destroyed, it won't have much impact. Of course, it is better to keep the throne room to ensure the smooth progress of the ceremony. That's why those heroes would actively avoid the throne room when fighting before..."

When Saga saw the sharp and angular Demon King's crown falling from the sky, he immediately understood a lot of things.

It’s a pity that he discovered it too late. He didn’t see it clearly until the answer came out. Now there is no way they can change anything.

"Should we go over there... No, we can't make it over the current distance. And even if we do make it, do we have a chance of winning?"

Rex ran as fast as he could and arrived at the main control room of Rhodes Island panting a few minutes later.

In this place, compared to simply using the small projection images from drones, you can observe the changes and conditions in the outside world more clearly.

"The black crown has fallen to the ground. We can no longer see it, but it is estimated that it has been taken by the winner of this Heroic War."

When Conan-san first saw the appearance of the real wish-granting machine, he was a little excited, but he quickly calmed down.

There was nothing they could do anyway, so they could only watch helplessly. It was pointless to get excited.

"Rex, I don't feel like I will disappear for now, which indirectly proves that the wishing machine has not been used. But I think it will be soon. I don't think I can stay here for long. Since the natural disaster outside has stopped, let's get the refugees off the ship as soon as possible."

The War of Heroes here is about to end. Even if Conan-san, who was summoned inexplicably, is a fake heroic spirit, he still appears as a heroic spirit through the rituals here. Without the rituals that maintain the continued existence of the heroic spirit, he will automatically disappear.

If more than 3,000 refugees were still on Rhodes Island when he disappeared, then everyone would have to make a thrilling high-altitude jump without any safety measures.

"We... eh?"

Before Conan-san could finish his words, the magic detection system of [Rhodes Island] issued a shrill warning.

"What!? This is..."

Conanshan looked in astonishment at the disaster clouds that were gathering again in the sky.

After the Demon King's crown was fully revealed, the sky of Kazdel finally calmed down. Although there were still many gray clouds in the sky and it was a bit dark at this time when dusk was approaching, it could be said that the sky was clear.

However, in just a moment, the sky returned to its previous appearance.

The disaster cloud that felt extremely heavy and seemed to be about to fall to the ground at any time appeared again!

"Wait a minute! What on earth is going on? Slow down, slow down! I'm beginning to feel like I'm about to disappear! The Heroic War Ceremony here has completely ended! It's really over! But this..."

While Conan-san was still panicking, changes happened again.

boom!

The earth is wailing.

Long!

The earth in the distance seemed to have undergone some strange distortion.

Roar!

A huge monster with a hideous face suddenly broke out of the ground.

"……what?"

Conanshan looked in amazement at the huge monster whose entire body was rotting.

The change came too fast and too suddenly, and it was so confusing that he didn't know how to react.

[Rhodes Island]'s operating system automatically captured the unknown changes ahead and displayed the monster's clear appearance on the screen in the main control room.

The size of that thing was extremely huge, and it looked like it was definitely a bit bigger than [Rhodes Island].

It has red and black skin, but that skin is rotting every moment, and it feels like continuously boiling magma.

This monster was estimated to be over 300 meters tall. Its appearance vaguely resembled a half-kneeling human figure. Behind it stood a pair of huge, empty bone wings. From a distance, it looked like a rotten demon that had crawled out of hell.

"The top of this thing..."

Rex keenly noticed a serious problem. He grabbed the nearest screen with both hands and stared at the monster on the screen with his nose almost touching it.
