(The demon Sigma...! I was on guard before entering an important base, but I never expected to encounter him so suddenly...!)
I gripped my penis tightly as the mastermind behind this series of events suddenly appeared.
He readied his phallic sword to protect Alicia and Sophia, who were treating the beastmen who were seriously injured and near death due to the explosion magic that had been applied to them beforehand.
Sigma, the outstanding bear beastman, looked at me with a sharp, appraising gaze.
"Huh. So you know my name? Are you the "unknown force" that destroyed the material procurement unit in the mountains? I knew you would come to this dungeon city... but you managed to track down this hideout just yesterday, what kind of methods did you use?"
He used his penis instead of his hand, but... he didn't have the time to think about such unnecessary things.
The murderous intent and pressure emanating from the woman standing before him was even more ferocious than that of Kokoro.
"Well, whatever. Anyway, I can't let my guard down just because he's a brat. So, hurry up and die."
"Hk!"
Bang!!
In an instant, barely before a word could be exchanged, Sigma disappeared with a bang.
The ground beneath his feet exploded, and he used that acceleration to close in on him in one go.
A tightly clenched fist approaches.
"Damn it――!"
I instantly dodged it using my incubus strength, but the next moment -- BOGOOOOOON!
"Whaaat?!"
Sigma's fist exploded.
An explosion of flames erupts next to his face, blowing him away.
But of course, Sigma's attacks don't end there.
"ORAAAAAAAAAAAAR!"
Splat, splat, splat, splat, splat!
An explosive flurry of kicks and punches.
Smoke from the explosion blocked his vision, shattered earth came charging at him like boulders, and the heat from the explosions he thought he had dodged burned his skin.
"--!"
That ferocious onslaught made me grit my teeth as I swung my penis around.
(I had heard about it beforehand, but... this is the rare close-combat gift of the
Compared to normal magical gifts, the magical power and range are one level lower.
However, Sigma's explosion magic was undoubtedly over level 300, and its power was considerable. When combined with the physical abilities of his high-ranking close-combat gifts, his offensive power was off the charts.
But... I'm no ordinary Gift either.
"Phallic sword!"
ErectionBo!!
Orichalcum, which has magical resistance, and Adamantite, the strongest physical element.
The deadly blade, made from two layers of material, branches out countless times and attacks Sigma.
"Ahh?! A magic sword?!"
Sigma's eyes widen in shock.
But,
BOOM!
Sigma blocked the phallic sword with his fist, imbued with immense magical power, and at the same time exploded.
He dodges the penises that change in an instant and attack from all sides with other-dimensional mobility that utilizes the recoil of explosive magic.
Damn, it's really strong...!
As she was an equal match with Irina-san, the kingdom's strongest warrior, she didn't seem like an opponent that could be easily defeated with just a forced penis as a greeting. I had to change my tactics.
And then, in an attempt to change the course of the battle that had suddenly begun, I tried to distance myself from Sigma by swinging my penis around in a deterrent manner.
"Kuku, ahahahahaha!"
Suddenly, Sigma bursts out laughing loudly.
She looked at me as if she had found the gem she was looking for and said:
"That's great. You were able to track down this hideout and storm in, so I had high hopes for you, but you're an unexpectedly strong opponent. You'll make a good sacrifice to save this country, the Fang King Federation."
"...!? Save this country...?"
"Yeah."
Sigma quirks the corners of his mouth as I stand there speechless at the words of the terrorists who keep causing destruction.
And then she speaks.
A distorted and amplified version of himself.
"I lost my parents when I was a kid. I did whatever I could to survive by gathering with people in similar circumstances. No matter how good a country's governance is, there will always be those who fall through the cracks. As our organization grew, we picked up more orphans and outcasts like that. We fought battles with countries, making a place for them to belong and expanding our influence. But that was ultimately just for my own selfish satisfaction, and there was a limit to how many I could pick up. The wealth and land, including the dungeon, are finite, and my strength isn't infinite. But one day I realized."
Sigma's eyes take on a look of madness.
"If wealth is limited, then we can just take it from those around us. We should become a country that takes from those around us."
"...!?"
"If there was a strong king who claimed power and took wealth from other countries, then no one would starve to death. So we'll destroy everything. Kill everyone. We'll destroy the current order and the weak royal family, and take control of this country. Then, if we become an aggressor nation where only strength matters... then this country will surely become a much richer, better place...! Hey, you think so too, don't you?"
That's crazy.
Incoherent, childish, and completely flawed, Sigma's argument was a complete failure.
No matter how you look at it, that's not sane.
But there was still something familiar about those extremely destructive claims and those unwavering eyes.
In addition, the words of the boar beastman, who claimed that Sigma had become strange one day, reminded me of something that - almost at the same time, I came to this hypothesis again.
"Elio..."
Alicia, who somehow managed to escape with the boar beastmen's lives, spoke in a husky voice that confirmed my hypothesis.
"That person, he seems to have a similar presence to the black mist that was controlling Sophia-san...!"
"I thought so...!"
"...!"
Is this the nature of a Holy Knight? Alicia, who can sense the presence of the black mist more keenly than anyone else, said this, making me groan and Sophia gasp. But Alicia's words didn't stop there.
"...They look very similar. But there's something different... Unlike with Sophia, there's no sign of a connection to someone far away... But in exchange, this presence is much more powerful and sinister than with Sophia..."
"What did you say...?!"
It seemed that Alicia had become able to sense the presence of the black mist in greater detail, and as she spoke, I found my voice tense.
A more powerful and sinister presence.
Does that mean that there's something else out there that's the same kind of black mist that was eating away at Sophia, but even more vicious?
Something vicious enough to corrode a warrior who was one of the nation's strongest, and was over level 300.
...But maybe it's pointless to think about such things right now.
Either way, there's no doubt that Sigma, who is talking about the collapse of his kingdom theory before our very eyes, is in a similar situation to Sophia.
If that is the case, then this series of incidents is not just a case of the church secretly supporting a terrorist organization;
It seemed as though everything from the launch of the terrorist organization to the present day was a conspiracy by the church.
If that's the case... Sigma, the leader of a terrorist organization, is probably also a victim that we need to save.
"Well, I don't know what you're babbling about but... now that we've finished talking, it's time to get hunting, you brat!"
"Hk!"
Then, Sigma exploded again, accelerating and approaching.
Not realizing that he was being controlled, he was so twisted that he blew up his aide who was concerned about him.
It will attack you using its exploding limbs.
"...! Argh!"
Normally, when an opponent with such equal strength is willing to kill, there's no way they could be so light as to capture him alive.
If we go easy on them, we'll end up getting killed.
However――,
" I prepared this in advance... for an occasion like this
"ah?"
In an instant, I blended into the smoke from the explosion Sigma had unleashed.
Then, having determined the pauses in Sigma's breathing that he had noted during previous battles, he filled his entire body with magical power at the timing that would most effectively catch his opponent off guard.
"We will take control in one fell swoop with our overwhelming strength! --Local wife!"
A moment,
"---It's been a few years since we drew in an unofficial Sigma!
"Huh?! What?! Ahhhhhhhhhh?!"
Breaking through the smoke, two gigantic zanba blades appeared, each equal to the height of an adult man.
And the one swinging it around with ease was an elephant beastman, over two meters tall.
Sigma's location was confirmed, and her biggest threat was that no one knew where he was hiding or when he might attempt an attack on the royal family. Now that his location had been confirmed, there was no longer any reason for her to hesitate to set out.
Using my skill, the Fang King Federation's strongest warrior, Captain Irina of the Beast Knights, had teleported and delivered a powerful blow to the shocked Sigma.
