Wh, What?
Uoh!
It's an earthquake!
Over here!
Move to the back!

Page: 02

Kuku... It's finally moved.
I have a report to make!
In the west, a mysterious object the size of a mountain has appeared.
It's so big we can verify it from here!


Page: 03

So that's the cause of the shaking...
A large object in the west?
No way.
Umu...
That's likely the tower.
Th, that couldn't be!
Even if they have awakened, humans shouldn't neither be able to build something so huge, nor have to time to do it...
Because it was built long ago.
They're just using it.
Huh?
Oh... So that is to say, that tower...
Huh... So it existed, at that place...

Ch86 The large tower in the west, and the snow

Page: 05

The tower was activated? No way...
Does that mean Demon lord Shin's army was defeated!?
Oh, who knows.
The only thing that's for certain
Is that if Demon lord Shin's army is only of a 100 thousand, then they won't be able to destroy that tower.

Page: 06

The "tower" you imagined was probably not over some hundreds of meters tall.
But the one I'm using is far and away bigger than that.
Using?
So it's an ancient relic!!
Correct.
Even if it's a former metropolis, the activated relic
is far larger than the capital of this castle town.
No matter how much Devil lord Shin struggles, it isn't something that can be destroyed.
Bam

Anne!
I told you. Don't worry.
This level of "poison" isn't a problem for me.
That might be true for the beings that live in that land, not to mention the four heavenly kings.
But the same can't be said for lots of people.
Huhuhu. Now then, what will you do?
The snow will spread faster than you imagine.
No problem! All we have to do is defeat the king!

The defense army.
You can't expect much from their strength if the barrier can't buy enough time,
but if you combine Rafaed's simple barrier with their power, then we can still defend against your attacks.
Fufufu.
The endurance test has only just begun.
Kh...

Shit... They used ancient relics...
The tower-like walls we found here and there were all the same thing...
Kuku...
How about you just get the siege troops and go?
If you spend a whole month at it, it just might break, y'know?
It's impossible... Just how would we even destroy something like that...?
All we can do is pray...
Pray that the king gets defeated...

Page: 10

Warriors. You shouldn't give up until the end.
And we still have something we can do.
Huh?
What? Something you can do?
There ain't nothing!
You just don't know when to give up, Mr. Demon lord!

Page: 11

Then I'll ask of you.
If you have confidence that the tower can not be destroyed,
why did you put all these soldiers to defend it?
That's because there is a possibility even us can be an obstacle to your strategy.
Leave up to ten parties to keep prisoners,
And all other troops, follow me!

Page: 12

We'll strike the tower's core.
I, I see! We just have to stop the tower from working!
I only thought about destroying it.
No matter how big it is, if we start destroying it from the inside, it won't be able to function!
I'm able to take a lo of hits, but if I got food poisoning I wouldn't be able to move.
Hey, ain't that the same thing!?
Uooooh! This isn't the time to stay still now that this is settled!
We'll go too!
Find an entrance!
If you can't find one, make a hole in it!

Page: 13

Oh, well done, Mr. Devil Lord.
That's right, no matter how big the structure, if you destroy the core then it's game over.
That's why we had to defend the tower until it was activated and came out of the ground.
The winged soldiers are gonna get in our way!
Kick them out!
Still, it was only until it was actived.
Wha...
Wh, why are they suiciding!?
You don't get it?
It's already fine even if they go.
What?

Page: 14

Argh!
More enemies!?
Where did they shoot from!?
The defense system!
Bingo.
Like I said, there's nothing left for you to do.
Page: 15

Page: 16

Y-you saw that!?
Yeah! That must be the snow they talked about!
Did our attack fail!?
Well, who knows?
Let's just get away from here!

Page: 17

I'm gradually breaking in, but it got really tough since the first time I broke it...
Damned be that Rafaed.
Even if he got reinforcements, for him to be that proficient in barrier techniques...
But I can't slow down!
The consumption is fierce, but I've got no choice!
Helck! can you hear me!?
After the next attack, shake off Cless somehow and go to the throne!

Page: 18

Burn to cinders!
Firedrake Vulca!

Page: 19

Dash
They should be under the rubble after that attack!
I'll find the throne's covered stairs!
And while I do that, you go to that snow girl...
Wait, Anne!
Wha... No way!!

Page: 20

They withstood it!!
All troops organized for defense.
Hmm. Wonderful.
Now this is a numbers battle.
