Shera raised her voice.
「Its form is changing again!」
「Umu! It seems that is the final form that Modinalaam has chosen -nanoda!」
*Funnu* Krum made a rough snort.
It was a castle.
Diablo recognized it.
「……It’s the Demon King castle.」
Though he said that, the real thing was probably much larger. In the game, the Demon King’s castle was much larger than Fortress City Faltra.
It was only natural that the final dungeon would be vaster than a town that appeared midway through the story though.
Several towers that were like spears were lined in a row, and were surrounded by a tall rampart. The front gate made a *gigigi* sound and opened.
Krum spoke.
「Most likely, he is calling for you, Diablo.」
「Mu……」
「Modinalaam is thinking that if it is in there, then he can win……No……Anything that could be called thought has already been blown away for him. He merely wants to fight you -nanoda.」
「Is Rem, also inside?」
Krum nodded.
「Umu. Maou was always together with Rem after all. Maou can tell by smell.」
At that time, other people had come out from the town.
That being said, since the rampart had already turned into a mountain of rubble, the boundary between the plains and the town had become vague though.
「Yaa, Diablo-san. Things have become grave, haven’t they?」
It was Sylvie.
Lamnites was also with her.
「What is that, that castle? When was it built?」
「It seems to be a mere shadow of what the Great Demon King Modinalaam once was.」
Hearing Diablo’s explanation, Lamnites made a face that said she couldn’t believe it, but she did not deny it.
Sylvie asked a question to Krum.
「That thing, it’s a mass of magical power, right? With him having no body, is it possible to maintain it for a long time? I’d like to hear the opinion of a real Demon Kingー.」
That is clearly saying that “there are also fake Demon Kings”, isn’t it? is what Diablo thought, but he kept silent.
Krum nodded.
「Umu! That was created with magical power gathered from the Demonic Beings, but it is vanishing from the ends -noda! It will probably vanish by tomorrow.」
「Is that so!」
「But……If you wait for that, this town won’t get off safely, you know?」
「Ahー, is that so?」
Sylvie scratched her head.
Looking closely, black snakes gushed forth from the fake Demon King castle once again. On top of that, although it was slow, the castle was getting closer.
Lamnites glared at it.
「With that speed, it will make contact with Faltra City in an hour. I do not know how far those black snakes can extend out, but if their range is about the same as a Magi Gun, then they can reach the whole town in about thirty minutes.」
She was a Magi Gunner that drove sand ships at high speeds. Her eye measurements with that sort of thing could be trusted.
Unfortunately, at this rate, it didn’t seem like they could just safely pray for the morning sun.
Lamnites gave orders to the Local Knights that were waiting on her behind her.
「Prioritize the injured, and evacuate the citizens to the east gate! For the people that want to run away to the royal capital’s side, let them go. However, there are no soldiers to send around as evacuation escorts. All hands, defend this place to the last!」
「Understood!」
Sylvie made her eyes go round.
「You’re going to fight that!? That’s the Great Demon King that swallowed the Demon King army whole, you know!?」
「No matter who the enemy is……Six of the eight barrier towers are either going strong or can be repaired. For the other two towers, they can temporarily be made in three days. The Magician’s Guild’s central tower is also safe. This Faltra City is meant to protect the territory of the Races, so it absolutely must not be lost! If it is broken through, even if the Great Demon King vanishes, other Demonic Beings will surely overrun the defenseless town. Or could it be that you are able to affirm that there are not any rear guard Demonic Beings?」
「Nnー……Honestly, I think there are some.」
Being on the cautious faction, it seemed that there would also be some Demonic Beings that wouldn’t really come forward.
So the military and the Adventurers will protect the town.
As if replacing the Local Knights that busily ran about, there were people that came running this way.
Shera waved her hand.
「Rose-san! Edelgart-san!」
