How a Former Pro Takes Advantage by Doing an Easy Job

Gaiden episode 57

similar personality Grigori couldn't understand the current situation.

[Why are you enduring this far?]

I couldn't understand the struggles of humans.

[Human nature would not be able to withstand the threat of this army?]

There was no other reason for the giant stone statues to be used as the main force, but it was mainly to stab the human psyche.

Not only humans, but living things are afraid of beings bigger than themselves.

[…] … Is it because of Arell Ernesia's intervention?]

After all, is he manipulating it from behind?

But it won't be a big problem. Conversely, that would mean that if we destroy their rebellion, then the future plans will go smoothly.

[Then put in a little more power... … .]

Grigori decided to open up additional troops. I'm not ready yet, but I've already prepared enough energy in advance.

[I'll make sure to crush it.]

It hits and falls out.

Use a large weapon to destroy it once, and quickly advance your troops to finish it off additionally.

It was about time to repeat the method and steadily reduce the number of giant stone statues.

“More changes ahead!”

With the observer's report, the change was immediately noticeable.

“Hoo… … Looks like they're going to fight back in earnest.”

Nerel gnashed her teeth in annoyance.

What appeared in the enemy camp were beings that gave off a presence different from the giant stone statues.

The first thing that appeared was a huge slime object.

“… … Could it be that it’s just a slime?”

A voice that sounds a bit drained.

I was nervous about what to bring out, but what suddenly appeared was a clumsy lump.

When it comes to intimidation, the giant stone statue was one step higher.

“no! Stay alert!”

But being careless with that would be different.

According to common sense, there is no way to send something worse than the stone statue from before into the back row.

“No matter what… … home?!”

The commanding officer was stunned, forgetting to even breathe for a moment.

The huge slime starts to melt.

“Is it self-destruction? … … What?!”

The immediate surprise is that I noticed the phenomenon it caused.

“Is it melting?”

It was literally melting.

When the slime melts, strange things happen to the places where the fog touches.

Some burn, some freeze. Also, some melt or turn black and rot.

Another rushes through a foggy place, then flies into the wrong sky and falls.

There is no such thing as anything that touches that fog that ends successfully.

“Kuh… … retreat! Don't touch that!”

Hastily, the commanders bit the soldiers from the front line.

The slime itself is not a threat, but the phenomenon it causes is a threat.

“A monster that literally causes disasters and pestilence?”

“Honestly, it doesn’t feel good.”

Hetia's intuition and Nerel's instinct felt a strange revulsion from that monster.

Man-made malevolence against nature.

“Above all, I can't advance like that... …

Perhaps the purpose is to block the soldiers' path.

In addition, additional bombardment takes place in the giant castle.

Shocking shells that seemed to pierce the ground one step at a time threatened them with a ceaseless fall.

Urgently spread the barrier to protect the soldiers' heads, but there is a limit to holding out.

They would have had to back off for a while.

“There is a limit to holding out with soldiers alone!”

If you rush at it recklessly, you will die.

“Why don't we try bombing from this side as well?”

“… … It would be pointless.”

Knowing that resistance would be strong if they tried hand-to-hand combat, the other side also used artillery bombardment and other means to block the advance.

“I can’t… …

widely! The one who got up from the table was Nerel.

Up until now, she, like humans, had been quiet as a commander, stood up.

“Nerel… … sir?”

“Now that this has happened, leave it to us. I was getting tired of just sitting there. Your wings are sore.”

Nerell confidently declared to entrust it and sent a signal to summon his people.

“You guys don't know, but since ancient times, it's also been our job to rule out such unpleasant things.”

The dragons under her command revealed their intention to step forward.

“I will make a way for you.”

After proudly proclaiming, Nerel spread the huge dragon's wings from behind and flew up.

Already in the sky, dozens of dragons she had dragged were lined up in the air and waiting.

And in the midst of it, by the time Nerel ascended, she too has returned to the form of a huge black dragon.

[Go!]

There is no need for long words. As if responding to that intention, the dragons flew as if they were following Nerel.

In a sense, the dragons might be the ones with the greatest presence in the current allied forces.

In the past, it was feared that a city might vanish overnight if even one of them went on a rampage.

Dozens of such gigantic dragons.

Even more so, they were the elite who were brought with great care.

[Be prepared!]

shouted out loud, and the mana of Nerel and other dragons rose rapidly.

The density of power to the extent that the sky seemed distorted for an instant.

And at the same time, the stone soldiers looked up at the sky, and a few of them joined together to create a peculiar shape.

The light that spreads from there is cast over the heads of the enemy like an umbrella.

[…] … Is it a barrier that blocks our energy?]

The sound of Nerell clicking his tongue echoed.

Although dragons are powerful, they do not necessarily have only advantages.

In particular, their aura is strong, but their characteristics are distinct. That's why I heard that you can come up with a countermeasure.

[past… … Is it the barrier that Edrels-sama was talking about? … … red. It doesn't matter!]

Nerell shouted as if to interfere as much as she wanted, and at the same time, the mana of her and the dragons created a huge spell.

[Be prepared!]

they shouted and the ceremony was completed.

Suddenly, the air currents in the sky whipped around violently, and soon it became a huge storm and landed on the area.

However, the storm they create does not damage a single enemy soldier.

For an instant, the stone soldiers stopped moving. It seems to be a surprise.

[Did you really think they would attack?

It's detestable.]

The dragons laughed.

The wind they generate pushes away their energy as it lays low to avoid the barriers created by the stone statue walls.

Isn't it to entwine all the harmful things that plagued the soldiers and push them far away?

Storm Area.

A large-scale magic that selects only the harmful things they perceive for a certain period of time and blows them away with a storm.

[surely… … In the past, he would have just poured his breath all at once and tried to burn everything.] Regardless of

whether the enemy set up a barrier or made preparations, he would have pushed ahead with his pride and pride and wanted to burn it.

[It seems that you are misunderstanding me and my people.]

But the past is the past.

Times are different now.

The time for arrogant burning was over.

[You're foolish!]

Above all, it wasn't the last thing she said to the enemy, “Be ready.”

A cry for the warriors who must jump forward.

As soon as the obstructions are cleared, shouts resound and the large army advances again.

“Do not waste the road the dragons have made!”

As Hetia shouted, the corps composed of heterogeneous races took the lead first.

They are better suited to rush than anyone else because they are basically superior in physical ability to humans.

And the human knights follow and stir the road they once pierced through.

“Don't let them come to their senses!

For those who can use Aura, slash the stone soldiers and trample them thoroughly before they resurrect!”

Recently, the level of knights has also risen significantly. A few kids who had just reached the level of sword masters began to appear.

They, too, fight as if they would not lose and boldly cut down their enemies.

A step later, artillery fire poured from the giant castle, but it was blocked for an instant by the defensive wall spread by the magic corps in the back row. Faster than the deflagration can dissipate, the Allied armies run out.

Above all, the dragons that had cleared the way once began to radiate their breath toward the giant as if they were finally letting go of their long-suffering nature.

start pushing

As if they were determined to use all their strength in the first place, they gradually began to reach the giant with all their might.

one goal.

In order to defeat the existence that threatens their safety with their own strength.

and… … .

Although it is the first unit, in an instant, they are the first to reach the giant castle.

Amid the shouts of soldiers shaking the whole area. Several afterimages pierce the sky and infiltrate the castle without them noticing.

It was as if he was saying that he would help them in earnest now.

They are doing just fine on their own.

The provision of weapons or a little advice was necessary, but it proves that they are dealing with it in their own way even without direct intervention.

“Above all, I like that you didn’t choose to retreat.”

Grigori's large army of stone statues are gradually crumbling as if they were being cut away, and on the contrary, humans are making a way to advance.

And finally, the human army reached the giant castle.

It's finally open!

They waited for the humans to open the gap by fighting on their own.

“… … It is now.”

I nodded towards the reincarnated people.

They also immediately followed me without a word.

At the point where they proved their strength by breaking through the road, now I have to do the finishing touches.

We immediately broke into the giant's interior and moved swiftly.

“What we’re aiming for is that damned piece of scrap metal!”

“I know!”

“… … I have a lot to repay.”

We had a lot to say and we had our own grudges, so we broke through and moved upwards without anyone saying anything.

“hmm?”

However, when I was in a bit of a hurry, my footwork stopped for a moment not because an enemy worth noting had appeared.

“This??????

Those who stopped there like me did not speak.

I was at a loss for words after seeing the same thing.

“indeed… … It goes like this.”

Surprisingly, it was Rirensen who expressed his impressions calmly.

“I was a little curious. How will he deal with the people he has reaped after revealing his true nature?”

“Well, there is that too.”

In fact, in that case, I wasn't too sure. For the sake of his desire and the desire to be recognized, Mileus collected and ruled over ignorant humans.

However, Grigori, who revealed his true nature, is different.

He's already declared that he doesn't need humans.

If so, what to do?

Unfortunately, I considered the possibility of disposing of it.

Fortunately, they didn't reach the worst assumption, but their ending was really strange.

“… … Literally keep it.”

Shen murmured.

It is presumed that this is the compartment where humans lived.

It is divided into numerous compartments.

And inside that compartment is blocked by a hard, transparent wall... … inside it.

“.. I”

There is a person trapped in it, struggling and shouting something.

“Are you locked up?”

“I don’t intend to kill… … He must have preserved it in his own way.”

He said he would re-spray the humans he made to his liking. Then, of course, you need a specimen that is the original species.

There was no particular movement to go out to save it, so it must have been an attempt to use the humans who had already been harvested once.

“What are you going to do?”

“I should sleep and take it out, but… …

It's a bit cumbersome for us to go out on our own. I don't even want to be seen.

“You guys stay and induce the invading army to come this way. And in case you don’t know, I secretly protect you.”

We can entice the allied forces to find and save it.

It was like he was entrusted with the perfect job because he thought he needed to control the speed of the intrusion.

After that, as we chased up and came up, the defense measures arranged by the guy greeted us.

Each time, he left it as if he were entrusting a task to each of the guys accompanying him.

In the end, I reach the top floor alone.

“For now, is this as planned?”

top of the giant.

In terms of human beings, it is literally a place where there could be a ruler there.

But no fancy decorations. There is no shining throne.

A room filled with the smell of iron, oil and chemicals.

“It’s nice to be frugal. But do you decorate a little? Don't you know how cool the interior is?

If so, would you like to give me a gift? Even if I look like this, I have a bit of a knack for decorating the house.”

[Human extravagance is a logic that does not apply to me. Above all, Mileus didn't particularly like it either.]

“Oh, is that so?”

Well, I have no intention of lecturing Arell's interior know-how.

I just came here to destroy everything. How
